About this episode

Investigative journalist Seymour Hersh has published a bombshell report on Substack alleging the United States and Norway collaborated to sabotage the Nord Stream pipelines. The report claims the CIA planned the operation under the cover of the BALTOPS 22 naval exercise, using sonar-triggered C4 explosives to sever German-Russian energy ties. This revelation challenges the official narrative and suggests a strategic move to maintain American economic influence over Europe.

Geopolitical tensions escalate as the Pentagon recovers debris from a Chinese surveillance balloon shot down off the coast of South Carolina, while intelligence officials link the craft to a global spying program based on Hainan Island. In Ukraine, Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov faces removal following corruption scandals, with hawkish general Kirill Budanov named as his successor. Meanwhile, the Syrian Arab Red Crescent is demanding the immediate lifting of Western sanctions to facilitate relief efforts after a devastating earthquake claimed over 20,000 lives in the region. Domestic concerns also mount as an internal FBI memo from the Richmond Field Office surfaces, targeting Radical Traditionalist Catholics for their preference for Latin Mass.

The 65th Annual Grammy Awards sparked immediate controversy by pairing Sam Smith’s Satanic-themed performance with a Pfizer advertisement. Madonna’s appearance and strict camera requirements drew scrutiny, while Vice President Kamala Harris attempted to project authority during a CBS interview by emphasizing her time at the Resolute Desk. The broadcast concludes with a deepfake montage of Joe Biden performing hip-hop to celebrate the genre's 50th anniversary.

Grammys 2023, Satanic Imagery and Hip-Hop Anniversary

The 65th Annual Grammy Awards featured Sam Smith performing with Satanic imagery, which was immediately followed by a Pfizer advertisement. The ceremony also celebrated the 50th anniversary of hip-hop, though the timeline is questioned since "Rapper's Delight" was released in 1979. Ratings for the broadcast increased to 12.4 million viewers compared to the previous year.

00:00 Kanye on line one for Seth. Adam Curry, John C. Devorah. It's Thursday, February 9th, 2023. This is your award winning Gimel Nation Media Assassination episode 1528. This is no agenda. Boosted I'm Adam Curry and from northern Silicon Valley where I'm just getting over the joys of watching the Grammys. I'm John C. Dvorak. Oh man, you're in my beat. I was very disappointed by the Grammys this year.

00:41 Well, I would like to know. Can I just tell you why I'm disappointed first? Because Eminem didn't perform? Well, I mean there's more than one disappointment. No, I mean typically I get to do a report on the show. And I get to point out all the Illuminati and the devil segments. And now they're just throwing it in our face. It's like, oh Curry don't worry we'll just show everybody that we're Satanists. It was fantastic. What did you think of the show John? Oh I thought it was terrible and what really got

01:17 And I should be the last guy to even discuss this. To be watching. Well, I watched on and off. How do you get 50 years of hip-hop if you check the calendar? Yeah, well I'd like to know well I'm at first of all I always thought because I see you see all these specials on usually on educational television talking about it and see where the Genesis was rappers delight by the sugar hill group gang whatever they're called yes, which is 1979 so how do you get how do you get 50 years and

01:55 That's... 2029 would be 50 years from now, but no, no, no. John, hold on a second. Just so we have an understanding. This is coming from the same people who gave Grammy Awards to Milli Vanilli, who didn't sing or do anything on the song. So let's just understand what the source is here. And where was vanilla ice that's what I like to know if they're gonna do the tribute I agree I thought M&M was missing vanilla. I wear our white boys and holy white boys at all Holy crap and run DMC. Oh man at a certain point You got to hang up the tracksuit in the Adidas's brother. You gotta you gotta hang it up It just it doesn't look good anymore. It was that was that I

02:43 It's okay. So what we're referring to, if people did not see it, was Sam Smith who transformed from kind of almost like a Michael Buble type dude a couple years ago to a non-binary You know Satan Devil worshiper and yeah, and then this whole this whole spectacle on stage Fat and that was the worst part Eddie's fat and the whole spectacle fat on stage and then cut right away to the Grammys brought to you by Pfizer I mean it could not have been always greater. That was And they actually

03:22 are up in the ratings from 8.9 million viewers last year to 12.4. That's a pretty good increase. Still a far cry from... So JJ and all the rest of them are going to take credit for this huge increase. So next year it's gonna be nothing but hip-hop. You mean Jay-Z? JJ JJ cool JJ cool Hello, cool. Jay man. He is all he is such an industry player I mean he he practically lived at the MTB office building always waiting for some deal I was attributed to his agent. No, he did that himself. He would I would see him in the waiting in the lobby motor in the lobby He'd be sitting in the lobby waiting to meet with them

Bill Maher CNN Debut Ratings

Bill Maher's new segment on CNN debuted to a low viewership of 195,000 people. The move is part of CNN's strategy to revitalize its programming, though the initial numbers are compared unfavorably to independent media audiences.

04:16 Oh, goodness, I can't remember the name. Judy McGrath. Judy McGrath. She ran the show back then. Well, I admire that. I mean, I have nothing against him. In 2019, the show had 20 million viewers, so it is still kind of over. But that's nothing compared to the show of the decade on Friday. Did you know that that was the debut of Bill Maher's new show? Well, did you know this withdrawn his old show? Well, this was did you know that he had a new show debuting on Friday? Oh the CNN thing. Yes.

Madonna Appearance, Celebrity Control and Queer Activism

Madonna's appearance at the Grammys sparked discussion regarding her plastic surgery and strict camera angle requirements in celebrity contracts. Beyonce's acceptance speech credited the "queer community" for her genre, leading to a discussion on the definition of "queer" as a form of political activism rather than just an identity.

05:13 It was it was out of control. It was just out of control. I could not believe that they did and Madonna they wouldn't they couldn't even make a close-up of Madonna to intro Sam Smith she's so hideous looking. What happened to her? Oh she got like a praying mantis face job. She's hideous. Well, she was bitching in the news yesterday complaining that it's the lenses. They used a long lens to make me look ugly. No, she would not. I know Madonna. I know Madonna. I know Madonna. I know Madonna. Did you date her? She was flirting. I have video where she was flirting. Oh, she flirty with you. Good. Well, that's a plus.

But she is very she's a control freak and she I know that they had an agreement she would stand in that middle stage and they would not cut to close up. That was that was the agreement you could see it and everything. One of the things that we discuss on this show quite a bit are these Deals yeah, oh yeah, you can't shoot me from my left. You can't do this You can't do that you have to say King of Pop whatever that was Michael Jackson's deal and then I spotted one the other day when Colbert had to say Shania Twain Constantly a million times a million times. Yeah, yeah well the whole set of Shania the whole show though the general theme was queer everything was queer very Beyonce

06:58 She said that queer the queer community basically created her genre of music Which I thought was I mean our understanding and we have researches because you know we we want to understand is queer is a you have a gender that is non-binary or or not conforming to traditional roles and You're an activist you have to be an activist in order to have that we're late. We had a clip where she where somebody described it and in fact if you don't wear a mask you ain't queer. Yes, exactly. So that and that was the activism. So it's an so I mean the whole thing was just kind of bizarre. And then I, Tina was out so I

Dylan Mulvaney, Audrey Hepburn and Transgender Representation

Dylan Mulvaney's portrayal of Audrey Hepburn in a Breakfast at Tiffany's style video is criticized as sacrilegious to the actress's legacy. The discussion also covers Pfizer paying celebrities like John Legend and Pink for vaccine promotion. Harry Styles' fashion choices are contrasted with Mulvaney's White House visit and public persona.

Turkey-Syria Earthquake, Jeff Flake and Media Coverage

A massive earthquake struck Turkey and Syria, resulting in over 20,000 deaths, yet media coverage is noted as being significantly lower than the 2010 Haiti earthquake. Jeff Flake, the former Republican Senator, is currently serving as the U.S. Ambassador to Turkey, a role for which he reportedly has little background.

12:45 I didn't. You said it. I didn't say anything. I said don't say Vax. Don't say it. Exactly. Exactly. So that was not the only television spectacle. I mean, we can go a number of ways. I mean, I do want to let everybody know war is almost over, so we can do whatever we want and then I'd like to prove to you that war is almost over. And we can talk about it. There's almost no reporting, but there's probably 15 or 20,000 people dead in Turkey. And I don't know, but I remember when we had an earthquake in Haiti, which was bad, We had President, we had Obama, Bush, Clinton. Don't send blankets or water, just send your cash. Everybody descended on Haiti. It was wall-to-wall coverage, blue helmets. Oh, this is a travesty. 15,000, 20,000 people dead in Turkey. No one bats an eye, not news. Well, you know what I think is even more abhorrent?

13:41 There's almost as many dead in Syria and they don't even talk about it. Don't even talk about it! The only talking about Syria that took place, and I have clips. Well let's do that first because I want to be different than the M5M. Let's just talk about something. Well let me finish this. Yeah please. And so the only people, believe it or not, nobody talked about Syria, they mentioned it, but they never talked about it in any detail except Democracy Now, which of course is supported by Qatar. Which has got some sympathies with the Syrians. Yes, yes. But the mainstream media would hardly even mention what happened in Turkey happened in Syria. No, nothing. Let's just call it nothing. Nothing. It's the weirdest thing.

14:26 The whole earthquake is weird, but let's listen to your clips and then I'll Yeah, I was waiting for this. You know me mr. Earthquake machine, but yeah, let's let's see. What clips do you have? Let's just well, I don't have any I have no clips on I only have stuffed hyperbole. Oh, I thought you know, I only have hyperbole. No, there's no clips. Well, let's start with the well, that's the way I'm gonna start with something that's A little bit about this is about the cleanup and what's going on and this is not about the Syrian thing which I'll give those clips there, but I want to play this first and this is turkey help Turkey help. International help is on the way, including American search and rescue teams who arrived here today. The US ambassador to Turkey, Jeff Flake, tells us. 161 in terms of personnel, 12 dogs, and a lot of equipment, about 170,000 pounds of equipment. So it's a big group. They're big guys and ready to help. What?

15:27 Is there anything peculiar about that clip? Let me hear that again because someone in the chat room was yelling at me. International help is on the way, including American search and rescue teams who arrived here today. The U.S. Ambassador to Turkey, Jeff Flake, tells us. It's 161 in terms of personnel, 12 dogs, and a lot of equipment, about 170,000 pounds of equipment. So it's a big group, they're big guys, and ready to help. The whole thing is weird. What's with with pounds? What's with it? Oh, which got I mean that could be two cars What is Jeff Flake doing as ambassador to Turkey the the anti-trump Republican? I forgot all about Jeff Flake. How is he a Republican?

16:20 anti-Trumper Republican, the ambassador to Turkey. Did you look it up? How he got there? I looked up what I could and I looked and you know he's a he got you know his degree from BYU in international studies He has a few of the earmarks he went on when he was a Mormon and when he went on his little tour that they always do. He went to South Africa and I don't see a lot of spook there. I mean there's some but it's not like a rubber stamp but looking back on it and his craziness about his anti-Trumpness and all the rest of it, very CIA-like.

16:59 And then all of a sudden a Republican we have as the and his connection to Turkey is nil. He doesn't speak Turkish He speaks Afrikaner. He doesn't speak Turkish. How weird is this? How weird is it that he is not even that his Wikipedia does not even reflect him as ambassador It's not it's not even on Wikipedia that he's ambassador to Turkey Wow, good catch. And that's weird. The first thing you do as any... I mean he's an ambassador apparently. You get your staff to update the Wikipedia. Very peculiar.

Syria Sanctions and Earthquake Relief Complications

The Syrian Arab Red Crescent has called on the European Union and the United States to lift sanctions to facilitate earthquake relief. Humanitarian efforts in Syria are complicated by 12 years of war and existing economic penalties against the government of Bashar al-Assad.

17:37 Mmm interesting well and you have this earthquake and you have your earthquake machine you have this Jeff Flake guy Very very peculiar this guy's even in business doing anything, but okay, so he's connected, so let's go to Anyway, I just wanted to get that out of the way. Yep. Let's go to the earthquake and this is a From democracy now earthquake, and this is that what they did the way they presented the Syria focus I only have to do this one morning Amy Goodman clip inbound. Rescue operations continued in Turkey and Syria three days after a 7.8 magnitude earthquake jolted the two countries in the region's most powerful... By the way, 7.8 magnitude is not what it used to be when it was the Richter scale that changed so it is different. It could be anything. It could have been a 12. We don't even know. After a 7.8 magnitude earthquake jolted the two countries in the region's most powerful quake in over eight decades followed by another.

18:37 Harrowing scenes have emerged from the affected areas as bodies are pulled from the wreckage, and the death toll surpasses 11,000. In Turkey's border province of Hatay, devastated residents say help took too long to arrive as they take stock. of the catastrophe. Rescue efforts in Syria have been complicated by damage and displacement from 12 years of war and harsh sanctions. The Syrian Arab Red Crescent called on the European Union Tuesday to lift its sanctions to facilitate humanitarian aid, reaching those who need it in government-controlled areas. The U.S. also maintains sanctions on the government of Bashar al-Assad. You know, I'm surprised

19:19 that, you know, the only reporting we got there was about the magnitude. And I know it was only about Syria, but in 1999 there was a quake. you know 18,000 people perished. I mean this it's not uncommon in this region to have earthquakes. No their building codes suck. Yeah they pancake like building 7. I don't know hey the architects of building 7 built that whole area. Yeah but there's a big difference between putting a bunch of charges in and then bringing it down as opposed to just bringing it down from a little earthshake. Which brings me to a couple things we need to look at. This region is

CHAPTER 09 / 46 Discussion

Earthquake Machines, Geopolitics and Energy Hubs

Speculation arises regarding the use of "earthquake machines" to disrupt Turkey's role as a regional energy hub and its opposition to Sweden and Finland joining NATO. Reference is made to 1997 testimony by Secretary of Defense William Cohen regarding environmental warfare capabilities.

earthquake machine· william cohen· nato· pipelines· russia

20:02 has a number of things of interest. Now, and I have to preface that in the early 80s, Secretary of Defense William Cohen testified, you can look it up, in Congress that earthquake machines exist, other countries have them, we have them, and he was really complaining we don't have good ones. So that's just a fact. Turkey, let's talk about the political situation is very interesting with Turkey at this exact moment where Turkey is friends with Russia, Turkey has been positioning itself as the energy hub to Europe with mainly Russian oil and

20:45 and Mediterranean gas and other sources. Right at the epicenter of this are two major oil, not gas, oil pipelines coming from Russia, so you know, whatever it means. They are the ones holding up Sweden and Finland from entering NATO under the guise of, hey, you're harboring Gulenists and you need to get them out of here. They also have a huge issue with the Kurds, which you know, Okay, now so we have a little bit of a little bit of reporting about that but also Ground zero almost is in circlic air base with underground bunkers and if you recall about 50 nuclear weapons Underground that they were holding hostage for quite a while. You remember this vaguely chemical weapons that Obama even visited at the time

21:45 All kinds of stuff right in this region. I can predict that we will see a lot more quakes in the following days in Europe and in Virginia specifically. And a Dutch seismologist, interestingly enough, apparently predicted this earthquake three days ago and he said, oh it's because of The moon and the planet yeah, my wife looked into this guy found that he predicts a lot of stuff That's what I think you can predict in the eventually you're right is that basically like a clock. Yeah

22:26 But this region is it's right on the money to disrupt all to disrupt Turkey completely from its energy from its military capability from you know, the airbase it's I mean it is a I just say bullseye. It's a bullseye And there's got to be a reason that the world media, certainly the US media, has decided to not even do reports about it. So that's all I have. Well, they've done reports. Barely. It's not quite like the Haiti stuff. That's true, I agree with that. Barely, barely, barely. There's no celebrities and Bush and Clinton, there's none of that. We need celebrities! Zero celebrities.

Volodymyr Zelensky UK Visit and King Charles

President Volodymyr Zelensky visited the United Kingdom and addressed Parliament at Westminster. During his speech, he referred to King Charles III as an Air Force pilot, a claim that drew skeptical laughter from the audience due to the King's limited and dated flight history.

volodymyr zelensky· westminster· king charles iii· ukraine· air force

23:17 Zero, so there's there's no Whatever's going on America had nothing to do with it because we were way too preoccupied with getting everything set up for China getting ready to End the war in Ukraine, and if you don't mind I'd like to show how we're ending the war in Ukraine Let me see if there's anything else I would want to play before that. Why don't you give us the whole presentation then? Okay, it's really what the narrative, how it's changing, what Zelensky is doing. You probably saw that Zelensky went to the UK and he spoke at Westminster. I mean, this is

24:01 There's few rock stars who get to speak like that at Westminster with all of Parliament and the elites and former prime ministers and they're all like rattling their jewels. It was... Yeah, I thought it topped his presentation to Congress. By a mile! By a mile! And then, and you'll hear the public laughing because they actually respect Zelensky more than their new king. Listen to what he said. And today I will have the honor to be received by His Majesty the King. It will be a truly special moment for me, for our country. And in particular because I will convey to him from all the Ukrainians the words of gratitude for the support His Majesty showed to them when he was still the Prince of Wales.

25:01 And I also intend to tell him something that is, I think that is very, very, very important not only for the future of Ukraine but also for the future of Europe. In Britain, in Britain, the king is an air force pilot. And in Ukraine today every air force pilot is a king. So why is the crowd laughing when he says the King is an Air Force pilot? Because everybody knows this is bullcrap. Yes, he trained in 1970 for the Navy. He got his pilot swings in 71 graduating from the Academy. He also got his helicopter license. But in 1994 when he was doing some routine flight he crashed.

26:04 He never flew again. Everyone knows the guy's not an Air Force pilot. Navy, first of all, but not a fighter pilot. So this was scoffed by the elites. Yeah, it sounds like it. The other funny thing is, does Ukraine actually have any pilots still alive? No, because that's part of what... The UK is about to take credit for ending the war, is my prediction. I didn't clip it because the guy is almost not understandable or legible. He said, this war is the war to end all wars. Which of course, I know, right? I know, I know, I know.

Seymour Hersh, Nord Stream Pipeline Sabotage

Investigative journalist Seymour Hersh published a report on Substack alleging that the United States, with assistance from Norway, sabotaged the Nord Stream pipelines. The report claims the operation was planned by the CIA and executed under the cover of the BALTOPS 22 naval exercise using C4 explosives triggered by a sonar buoy.

seymour hersh· nord stream· joe biden· cia· norway

26:44 Wow yeah So a couple of I have more clips, but a couple other things happened a few days ago The Russians a top German and the Germans top German invest investigator concluded that There was no proof of Russia blowing up their own pipelines. No proof. Oh No proof. Now that was very interesting that that would come out just a day or two before Seymour Hersh. I presume you read Seymour Hersh's sub stack? No, I did not read Seymour Hersh's sub stack. Holy crap. How America took out the Nord Stream pipeline.

27:30 Oh, you know he probably has he's got the contacts he now he has such a detailed account It was done from Norway He knows which teams did it where they trained how they did it with something that we actually identified through I think was monkey works who showed that so they had the c4 explosives and in place after they did the Baltic Ops 22 training mission they do every single year, that's when they put it in place. But it would be too obvious to blow it up then, so they had a plane drop a buoy And I remember we had a report where it's like, hey, that's weird. Some plane went down. Did they drop a torpedo or something from the plane? No, apparently they dropped a buoy and then that sent off a special ultrasonic low vibration tone sequence that activated the explosion. And he has this down to the T, every single piece in there. What's really important is that you recall when Biden said,

28:33 No matter what, we'll stop that Nord Stream. Nord Stream 2 is not going to happen. Victoria Newland also said something similar around the same time. We recall this? Yeah, there's a lot of people have those clips of it. is what technically and legally allowed the CIA to do this, to proceed with this operation and legally they did not have to inform Congress, i.e. the Gang of Eight. So Biden, he's not just an idiot, no. They sent him out here, made sure he said that because then CIA did not... Oh, hold on a second. So you're implying that he's like a mafia Don?

29:17 Who? Who says, you know that guy, he needs to take a taxi ride. Wait, who? And from that, they know where to kill him. I'm not quite sure how you're connecting that. Well, you're saying that Biden is like a mafia Don giving orders. No! Biden is a blubbering idiot fool. Someone made him say that so that this no longer had to be reported to Congress. Yeah, I understand the mechanism. You could reinterpret and say he's not a blubbering fool. No, he is. I'm sorry. You can't convince me of that. Now, who is one of the guys behind this whole operation? Texas' own Ted Cruz. He wanted this pipeline destroyed too, and he held up the National Defense Authorization Act to get it done. It's Victoria Newland, it's Ted Cruz, it's Jake Sullivan, it's Anthony Blinken.

30:14 They all should be arrested and thrown in jail. Ted Cruz, number one, you oil dick. You oil gas protecting a-hole. They literally committed an act of war. We are the number one dicks in the world right now. I can't believe this. It is egregious when you read this sub stack. Which and of course this no we all know Seymour Hirsch is a Putin for you know puppet for Putin Russian disinformation Because he was a little background gives a little background on Seymour Hirsch Okay, Seymour Hirsch goes way back.

Seymour Hersh Career and Media Blackballing

Seymour Hersh's history as a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter covering the My Lai massacre and Abu Ghraib is reviewed. The discussion notes that Hersh has been marginalized by mainstream outlets like the New York Times after questioning the Russia-Trump collusion narrative, leading him to publish on Substack.

29:17 Who? Who says, you know that guy, he needs to take a taxi ride. Wait, who? And from that, they know where to kill him. I'm not quite sure how you're connecting that. Well, you're saying that Biden is like a mafia Don giving orders. No! Biden is a blubbering idiot fool. Someone made him say that so that this no longer had to be reported to Congress. Yeah, I understand the mechanism. You could reinterpret and say he's not a blubbering fool. No, he is. I'm sorry. You can't convince me of that. Now, who is one of the guys behind this whole operation? Texas' own Ted Cruz. He wanted this pipeline destroyed too, and he held up the National Defense Authorization Act to get it done. It's Victoria Newland, it's Ted Cruz, it's Jake Sullivan, it's Anthony Blinken.

30:14 They all should be arrested and thrown in jail. Ted Cruz, number one, you oil dick. You oil gas protecting a-hole. They literally committed an act of war. We are the number one dicks in the world right now. I can't believe this. It is egregious when you read this sub stack. Which and of course this no we all know Seymour Hirsch is a Putin for you know puppet for Putin Russian disinformation Because he was a little background gives a little background on Seymour Hirsch Okay, Seymour Hirsch goes way back. He's an investigative reporter, and he's the one he's got his start by blowing the lid off of me lie the massacre in Vietnam

31:04 Where a soldier goes nuts and kills a bunch of villagers and it became a big scandal. Raped and pillaged villagers for days. It helped to end a war. And in the process of writing this sort of journalism, he ended up with a lot of contacts in the intelligence communities. To the point where, because he was very trustworthy. If you get a reputation for never screwing with anybody, you can get pretty far if you do the job. And he was one of the guys who kept doing the job. He kept coming out with stuff that was always proven true, analysis over the years. But during the Trump administration, him and a bunch of other guys, I'd put McGovern in that and a bunch of other guys in the same boat. I would put Cohen, who died, I'd put him in there. Glenn Greenwald, all of them.

31:58 they all saw through this Russia hoax thing from the beginning and Seymour Hirsch did right away and Because they did that they were they were unbeknownst to them. They didn't think this was gonna happen. They all got blackballed And so they just disappeared off the face of the earth. They didn't get picked up on the news shows. He left wing, except for Tucker. He'd bring a couple of them on if they'd come on. But nobody else would and all the places where he used to go. And Seymour Hersh was a mainstay of Democracy Now, for one thing. And other left-leaning operations. He wouldn't, he was,

32:41 He got then he got started getting bounced around he couldn't get published And he ended up with the London Review of books doing most of his work over there because that's printed after I forgot about that yeah, and then after after Russiagate and his carrying water for Trump he got kicked off of that and he couldn't have any outlet and now he's Gone where everybody in so he was I think it was an anti-trump. I didn't think he would he was no no He was a he's a lefty Yeah, exactly. He's just like Greenwald. They don't like Trump, but they don't like what you know, you can't do this. I mean, this is like not a good idea. And but he had throughout the years since me, since the 60s, this guy's been a mainstay and highly regarded by everybody.

33:28 Until, until, until. I'll just read this one little piece. Biden and Newland's indiscretion, if that's what it was, might have frustrated some of the planners, but it also created an opportunity. According to the source, he had a source, so he has a source, who was intimately familiar with everything. Some of the senior officials of the CIA determined that blowing up the pipeline, quote, no longer could be considered a covert option because the president just announced that we knew how to do it. The plan to blow up Nord Stream 1 and 2 was suddenly downgraded from a covert operation requiring that Congress be informed to one that was deemed as a highly classified intelligence operation with US military support. Under the law, the source explained. So this source has some knowledge of how it works. There was no longer a legal requirement to report the operation to Congress. All they had to do now is just do it. But it still had to be secret.

34:23 The Russians have superlative surveillance of the Baltic Sea, on and on and on. It's a long, it's a long sub stack which is why most people won't read it. They won't. You know, they won't. Bill Burns, the new... He writes long. All those guys write long. Yeah, but he writes long, but it's concise long as opposed to rambling. So he started this sub stack specifically for this article February 8th and he says, you know, why sub stack? Am I going to say something here? This is how pathetic the news media has become.

CHAPTER 13 / 46 Discussion

Geopolitical Impact of Nord Stream Destruction

The destruction of the Nord Stream pipeline is framed as a move to prevent German-Russian energy cooperation and maintain U.S. influence over Europe. Figures like Victoria Nuland and Senator Ted Cruz are identified as proponents of stopping the pipeline to protect U.S. economic and strategic interests.

33:28 Until, until, until. I'll just read this one little piece. Biden and Newland's indiscretion, if that's what it was, might have frustrated some of the planners, but it also created an opportunity.

So he started this sub stack specifically for this article February 8th and he says, you know, why sub stack? Am I going to say something here? This is how pathetic the news media has become.

35:00 This is a story, and knowing his background, this is the kind of thing that the New York Times would have published in the 70s. This is the kind of thing that a New Yorker or anybody would have published any time before Trump, before they all became woke and taken over by millennials and Gen Zers. He can't get published. He also published the first stories about the Abu Ghraib prisoners being tortured. Yeah, that would be him. He won Pulitzer Prizes. Oh no, he's just a hack of Russian disinformation. So we've always liked him and we liked him 20 years ago or 15. But you said something key there. He basically ended the Vietnam War. Well, he basically is about to end the Ukraine-Russian war.

35:50 Because this is you know, this is this is not gonna go away. It's gaining some traction this this sub stack and quite frankly of course Yes, I should mention it on our show. We mentioned over a year ago. It will when that thing got blowed up We had different sources that told us or didn't tell us we had clips from people in the public domain obscure clips of course that indicated this was a This was a Western operation. It wasn't Putin made no sense that it was Putin. It never made sense from the beginning That he'd blow up his own pipeline. It's stupid no and No, and what you read in this, and this is where Ted Cruz brings this whole thing about, is the United States, that's us, represented by these douchebags, and that's all of them, all of them left and right.

36:36 They did not like the idea that Russia was about to add this extra pipeline. So already 50% of Russia's GDP was mainly from their gas sales to Europe. This extra pipeline would have made Germany way too strong. This is also about Germany. A lot of this is about Germany and the EU. Remember, fuck the EU, said Victoria Nuland, and she meant it. These people are horrible. They're misrepresenting the American people. It's unconscionable. Fred Cruz is a new name. Fred Cruz should be tarred and feathered and run out of the state of Texas. When you read this about him, Fred Cruz.

37:22 This guy is horrible what he did to make this happen and it's all about money, money and power, money and power you cheap little bastards. Alright so the signal went out now the narrative has to be completed. Let's start with the CBC in Canada shall we? Much of Canada's support for Ukraine has been in the form of sanctions against Russia, economic measures targeting Russian oligarchs, institutions and government officials. But CBC News has learned the sanctions are also freezing assets for people with no ties whatsoever to Vladimir Putin. Janice McGregor has been looking into the story and she has the details from Ottawa. Janice.

CHAPTER 14 / 46 Discussion

Canadian Sanctions Impacting Non-Oligarch Russians

CBC News reports that Canadian sanctions against Russia are freezing the personal savings of regular citizens from Russia and Kazakhstan who have no ties to Vladimir Putin. These individuals, many of whom are permanent residents of Canada, are unable to access family funds due to their banks being on the sanctions list.

38:02 Yeah, good morning Heather. Look, we're not talking about oligarchs here. I've interviewed four people over the course of researching this story, two of them originally from Russia, two of them originally from Kazakhstan. They're all now working, paying taxes, starting new lives here in Canada, three of the four already permanent residents. We're not talking about people that have connections to the Russian regime. These are people actually who told me that they support Ukraine in this war, but they were targeted because they have personal family savings with major banks

38:39 back in Russia or Kazakhstan. And those particular banks are on Canada's sanctions list. So, when they tried last winter to make small personal transfers of these family funds, their banks in Canada were prohibited from dealing with these foreign banks. And that is why they think anyway their money has been blocked, the transfers never went through, they're now missing. All of these people have now contacted Global Affairs Canada, applied for exemptions, trying to get their funds released, but they're having great difficulty getting any information at all out of the department. They say they're only getting automated messages in return. Oh, it's hurting regular people, not oligarchs with yachts. It's hurting regular people. This is not good.

CHAPTER 15 / 46 Discussion

John Kirby on Xi-Putin Meeting and Diplomacy

National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby addressed rumors of an upcoming meeting between Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin in Moscow. Kirby used "Mr. Putin" rather than "President Putin," a linguistic tactic intended to delegitimize the Russian leader while urging China to join the international community in holding Russia accountable.

john kirby· xi jinping· vladimir putin· china· diplomacy

39:31 That's your signal right there. That's the signal. Now we go to Rear Admiral Kirby, who sat down with Deutsche Welle and it kind of led, we started with the Chinese balloon and then Putin and Xi are apparently going to meet in Moscow February 20th. Actually I'll play a little bit of that because it was kind of funny. Listen to how this works in diplomacy where whatever you do Don't call Putin the president. It's President Zelensky, President Xi, and well, of course Putin. There's supposedly already an invitation from Putin to Xi Jinping for February 20th, so in a couple of days.

40:11 Do you know more about these rumors? Could you elaborate on these rumors and what would this mean, an image of Xi Jinping and Putin shaking hands a couple of days before the one-year anniversary of the war in Ukraine? Well, I certainly can't speak to Mr. Xi's travel plans. That's something that the PRC would have to talk to. Only once. I would tell you a couple of things, and we've been clear about this with the Chinese privately and publicly. This is not the time for business as usual with Mr. Putin and with Russia as they continue, even as you and I are sitting here, to kill innocent Ukrainian people and to violate that country's sovereignty and to threaten that country's independence. This is not the time for business as usual with Russia, and we would like to see China join the rest of the world

40:58 Nearly everybody in the rest of the world. What don't what if they don't punish and to hold Russia accountable for what it's doing inside Ukraine? Well, they're gonna they're gonna have to make their decisions, but we believe that they can still make better choices about not supporting mr. Putin now We haven't seen them provide lethal weapons or anything like that, but you know, they're still buying Russia Russian oil So they're and they haven't come out and condemned what mr. Putin is doing. So we would, if there's going to be a discussion between the two leaders, we would certainly hope that President Xi would take a stand with the rest of the international community and make it clear to Mr. Putin that what he's doing is unacceptable. That's how you do diplomacy. You discredit the guy by saying Mr. Putin, just like they did with Trump. It wasn't President Trump, it was Mr. Trump. Or Trump. Just Trump. Or the current resident of the White House.

CHAPTER 16 / 46 Discussion

U.S. Strategy for Ending the Ukraine War

John Kirby stated that the war in Ukraine could end immediately if Russia withdrew its troops, but emphasized that the U.S. will support Ukraine "as long as it takes." The U.S. position is that President Zelensky alone will determine the terms of victory and when to enter negotiations.

john kirby· ukraine· zelensky· negotiation· battlefield

41:49 So that's the worst one. That's just that's such a setup. But here it is. Listen to the Deutsche Welle lady. And you know how it works. It's almost like when these guys are on a podcast, like, yeah, it's just Deutsche Welle who gives a crap about that. The only place that's going to get any airplay is, you know, like no agenda show. No one, no one cares. And listen to what he says. Today ah we think the war could end today if mr. Putin would just do the right thing and pull his troops The world could end today Did he said hope he didn't say that long as it takes and today we think the war could end nice as the war I'm glad you didn't say that today

42:48 We think the war could end today if Mr. Putin would just do the right thing and pull his troops out of Ukraine, where they have no business being in the first place. Now, obviously that's not going to happen today. Mr. Putin shows no indication of being willing to stop this war. So we're going to stay at this for as long as it takes. The idea here is to help Ukraine succeed on the battlefield so that if and when we get to the negotiating table, they can succeed in negotiation. What is the definition of the ending of the war? Would it be Ukraine? Ukraine going back to you to I there's a Ukrainian definition of the end of the war and there's probably a US definition of the end Oh, that's just it. You're asking a question that is much better put to the Ukrainians into president Zelensky We are not going to dictate terms

43:31 to President Zelensky. We're not going to tell him you've got to negotiate for this and you got to sit down at this time. His country has been invaded. His people are being killed. His soldiers are fighting back. He gets to determine what victory looks like and he gets to determine if and when he's ready to go to the negotiating table. What we're going to do with our allies and partners, including Germany, is to continue to provide him the weapons, the systems, the capabilities, the supplies. Just to stop this for a second, Very clear Zelensky gets to declare the end of the war Zelensky gets to negotiate what that means not the United States a President Zelensky, I'm so sorry. I'm sorry. Mr. Dvorak. You're right president Zelensky gets to

44:17 determine that and and Kirby could not be more clear that and it could end today all that it could end today as soon as the lens president Zelensky says it's over training that his troops need to continue to succeed as long as he wants for as long as it for as long as it takes There she nailed him on that one. She nailed them there. Hold on. The capabilities, the supplies, the training that his troops need to continue to succeed. As long as he wants. For as long as it takes. She nailed it. As long as he wants, no no as long as it takes, that's what he wants. You're waffling Kirby. For as long as it takes to end this war. Again, I want to submit this war could end very quickly if Mr. Putin would just do the right thing. But no, instead he's going after civilian targets. He's bombing playgrounds and hospitals and schools. He's killing dogs! He's trying to shut out the lights and turn off the water in the middle of winter because he knows

CHAPTER 17 / 46 Discussion

Ukraine Government Reshuffle and Kirill Budanov

Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov was removed from his post following corruption allegations and replaced by 37-year-old Kirill Budanov. Budanov is described as a hawkish general with close ties to U.S. neoconservatives, signaling a potential shift in Ukrainian military leadership.

oleksii reznikov· kirill budanov· ukraine· corruption· neocons

45:16 that when his troops run into Ukrainian armed forces, that they're running into a buzzsaw. That the Ukrainian armed forces are better trained, better equipped, supported by the rest of the world, and he's resorting to more brutal tactics as a result. So the curtain is about to fall for Zelensky. John in the Netherlands wrote a very detailed briefing here. Defence Minister Oleksii Reznikov is out, so there's more shake-ups within the government. Once again because of alleged corruption claims against him. Interestingly, despite this so-called corruption, he was then offered other posts in the Ukraine government, which shows the corruption allegations are just a front for further US-led shuffle around President Zelensky.

46:06 Reznikov's replacement is 37-year-old Kirill Budenov, who was a general in the Ukrainian army and is rumored to have very close connections to neocons in the US. He's very media friendly and he's gotten a lot of media attention lately, including an article in the Washington Post about him just a week ago. Budenov also been described as hawkish. He said the only way to handle this conflict is through more military force. In other words, he seems ready to fight until the last Ukrainian, which of course is exactly what the military-industrial complex and neocons want. But this is part of the same playbook of isolating Zelensky further. It doesn't seem too outlandish to think that should Zelensky be removed at some point,

CHAPTER 18 / 46 Discussion

MH17 Investigation and Putin War Crimes Narrative

The Joint Investigation Team (JIT) in The Hague announced evidence suggesting Vladimir Putin was involved in the decision to provide the Buk missile system that downed flight MH17 in 2014. This is interpreted as a move to set the stage for future war crimes prosecutions and regime change in Russia.

mh17· vladimir putin· war crimes· the hague· bellingcat

46:52 Budenov could step in and become president. And I submit that they are going to get rid of Zelensky, they're going to declare the end of the war, and they're going to convict Putin. And we've talked about this on the last show, the International Criminal Court, the JIT, the Joint Investigation Team. We looked at them, we saw this huge boondoggle of all these people who are running around and it came right back to when Putin shot the missile at the Malaysian air MH17 which killed a whole bunch of like 200 Dutch people.

47:33 The proof for that came from Bellingcat and wouldn't you know it right as this all takes place we have brand news come brand new news breaking coming out breaking on a second breaking Where's breaking we got a breaking thing? breaking here it is Breaking news from the BBC. We haven't heard about the JIT for a long time and all of a sudden it's back. In The Hague during the course of this lunchtime an investigation team has been examining an incident that dates back to the very early stages of this conflict in Ukraine. Not last year but nine years ago which is when the actual contest over the contestation over the land began. You remember the breakaway region of Donetsk it was from there

48:25 that a missile was launched which brought down a civilian aircraft killing all 298 people on board. That was MH17. The investigation has announced that it believes there is evidence that President Putin was directly involved in the decision to deploy anti-aircraft missile system, called a Buk missile system, to Ukraine. It does however say that there's not enough evidence to lead to further prosecutions And it reminds people that under international law, a serving head of state enjoys immunity from prosecution. The question of course would be the case if President Putin were to leave office, whether he might potentially be charged over this, if there were to be further evidence found, or indeed those claimed war crimes in the current conflict in Ukraine. I submit to you

49:21 The war will end, Putin will be convicted of war crimes and then the narrative will shift toward we need regime change because once Putin is out then we can throw him in jail. They're laying it out before us, they're setting the whole thing up. Too complicated. I mean I'm not saying that they're not trying to do exactly what you say. I just think that these guys are trying to juggle too many balls, they're not that talented. No, they're all morons, clearly. They've got to back out of this and you know the EU... Well they're backing out slowly. I mean if you back out you have to back it. You can't back just... that's why it just can't end. They have to somehow cover their tracks by backing out slowly. Well they started, this is from Politico, EU reaches agreement on Russian oil products price cap.

CHAPTER 19 / 46 Discussion

EU Price Cap on Russian Oil Products

The European Union reached an agreement to cap the price of Russian oil products at $100 per barrel for those trading above crude prices and $45 for those at a discount. Critics argue these caps are high enough that Russia will continue to profit while the West maintains its energy supply.

european union· russian oil· price cap· diesel· crude oil

50:16 So they're always going to do this. So this is how they're going to make sure that dirty Russian oil doesn't make it to the West. But here's the rub. They agreed to cap the price of oil products that trade above the price of crude oil at $100 a barrel. What kind of cap is that? Wow. I'll take that cap any day if I'm in the business. Of course. And now products that trade at a discount to crude will be capped at $45 per barrel. Russia is like, oh that's great, we'll take it. We'll take it. That's a good deal and then the oil products can just continue to flow. Yeah, diesel is currently at 120 or whatever. So they're backing out, they're getting ready. It's over. China's next on deck. China's on deck. Well then we need to put together a dead pool and figure out when it's over. It's not going to be overnight.

CHAPTER 20 / 46 Discussion

Chinese Spy Balloon and NORAD Response

The Pentagon tracked and eventually shot down a Chinese surveillance balloon off the coast of South Carolina. Brigadier General Pat Ryder and Secretary Lloyd Austin faced questions regarding why the balloon was not intercepted earlier and whether similar incursions occurred during the Trump administration.

china· spy balloon· norad· lloyd austin· pat ryder

51:14 Although, you know, all Putin has to do is by playing along just by declaring it over. Yeah, it could happen overnight technically, but I just, we'll see. They're gearing up for China. This is the new new thing. We got to go for China. Here, let me just play and this will end. The presentation back to Kirby for a minute about the balloon. That's the United States trust China. It's not about whether we trust China or not. Clearly China, as all sovereign nations will act in their own self-interest. But the issue is that the way they act in their own self-interest continually undermines and this balloon incident is a perfect example

52:00 What is this rules-based international order that respects sovereignty you speak of, Kirby? bellicose rhetoric and their aggressive actions perhaps in the South China Sea and in other places in the Indo-Pacific, bullying their neighbors and other nations and making false maritime claims. So the issue is not about trust. It's about the fact that the Chinese routinely are flouting what should be the rules-based international order that we all should want to pursue. We want to pur... This is the New World Order!

52:44 We all want the rules-based international. We all want to pursue that. One army, one bank, one money. I hope we witness this within our lifetimes. What a lot of fun that'll be. Well, these guys aren't that good, like you said. You already said it. You already laid the groundwork. They're boneheads. They're boneheads. Well, you know, Putin, I think, has been very restrained in all this. And I'm kind of happy about that. Well, he sees through a lot of this stuff because it's basically because he's like the the bulwark against the New World Order and he's like, yeah, okay He also sees everything as a possible trap. So he's very suspicious. I'll bet but as well he should be I have a

53:38 clip here from the Pentagon press secretary, Air Force Brigadier General Pat Ryder. Oh that guy. Yeah, oh yeah, exactly. So, whereas the whole world stopped and had to come to a standstill because of the balloon. And Super Bowl security is now tighter than ever because you know another balloon could come over the stadium. The stadium's got a dome. No, but it could, they could drop a bomb on the dome. So here's the question. the Chinese testing the American people to see the reaction while General Philip Breedlove suggested it was the enemy conditioning the US population. Does the Pentagon believe that China was conditioning or testing the US with these balloons in some way? I love that they had the messaging all messed up. They were all saying different things and this guy is on to it. I don't know who he is.

54:47 He's on to it and of course we have to answer with bull crap. Yeah, thanks Orin. So you really need to talk to China about what it's motivating. Hold on a second. Can someone call China? I have a question about the balloon. Again, the facts are that they sent a surveillance balloon into sovereign US airspace. We responded quickly and appropriately, monitored it, tracked it, and took it down as soon as it was safe to do so. I'll just leave it at that. that.

55:28 I don't have a specific date to provide you in terms of when the intelligence community developed this other than to say it's been in the last couple of years that we've been able to do the analysis and look at these objects and determine which has built the body of knowledge available to us. So again, as I mentioned, as this object approached US airspace, NORAD, NORTHCOM knew what it was and tracked it. I mean, come on. Stop right there. Yeah, I'm done. Yeah, so I got you some balloon clips, but good This NORAD thing is bothersome. Mm-hmm. First of all, they said these balloons have been coming over over and over again for years. Yep, and And they haven't been and then NORAD guy said in response. He said I don't know not that I know of

CHAPTER 21 / 46 Discussion

Global Chinese Surveillance Program Allegations

U.S. intelligence officials claim the downed balloon is part of a larger Chinese military spying effort spanning five continents and based out of Hainan Island. Reports suggest balloons have violated airspace globally since 2019, including incidents over Hawaii and Florida.

china· surveillance· spy balloon· hainan· cbs news

56:19 And then have you noticed this they can't get their stories straight because the NORAD guy who's got his own job He can't say that well during the Trump administration a bunch of these balloons came over and we didn't catch him because we're NORAD we don't know what we're doing Or he has to say well we caught him, but we wouldn't tell the president I mean, it's just they're out of control with the stories so let's go to CBS and which is the CIA broadcasting system. Let's see what the messaging really is here. Let's go with balloon shoot down one. Oh You got a series nice. We want to turn now to explosive new details about what the Pentagon to dick Wow bombshell bombshell Wow, man

57:11 Yeah, these people. I'll start that over. That was good. I loved it. We want to turn now to explosive new details about what the Pentagon today described as a global surveillance program run out of China. U.S. intelligence officials say that that Chinese balloon shot down off the coast of South Carolina is part of a larger spying effort by the Chinese military that has been going on for years, spanning five continents. CBS's David Martin is at the Pentagon with an exclusive interview with Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin. Now, thanks to an amateur radio scanner, we know what the pilots were saying to each other. Immediately after the shoot down, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin tried to call his Chinese counterpart to explain. I put in a request for a call and they did not accept that request.

58:10 Hmm what? Okay, a couple of things here. Hmm. First of all because of an amateur radio guy we get to hear some of this bullcrap who cares he said no meaningless. Hey we shot it. Yay! Amateur scanner guy. A scanner guy. Who still has the bearcat everybody? Is that that guy? The bearcat. Okay, because of course we transmit over open frequencies when we're when we're fighting China. Of course we do. And so then we have Lloyd Austin, this doofus, says, yeah I called them, they wouldn't return the call. What? Request denied. I don't know if that means the same thing. What is the point of that? What is it, Austin, he's ineffective? He can't get a call in when he wants one? Meanwhile, I mean, Miley says he can call those guys and tell them that we're gonna bomb them, you know, kind of thing. I mean, this is, this story is just,

59:09 Incredibly lame. Let's go to part two. Speaking publicly for the first time about the Chinese balloon, Austin told CBS News his biggest worry was it would spy on U.S. nuclear forces located at bases across the country. All of our strategic assets, we made sure that we were buttoned down and movement was limited so that we didn't expose any capability unnecessarily. By strategic assets you mean the nuclear force? It was part of a fleet of spy balloons based on... Why did he say strategic assets then instead of just nuclear force? Uh-huh.

59:47 These guys talking gobbledygook John and gobbledygookers surely by strategic assets you mean the nuclear force It was part of a fleet of spy balloons based on the island of Hainan Which have been flying over the US at least since 2019 when one circumnavigated the globe there were three incidents a couple years ago that Balloons overflew parts of the US. Which parts? There were parts of Texas and Florida that the balloon flew over. In February of last year, a balloon was spotted over the Hawaiian Islands and jet fighters scrambled to inspect it. Last week, this balloon was spotted over Costa Rica. Turns out, Chinese balloons have been violating airspace all over the world, much of the time without anyone noticing.

1:00:37 Until last week when everybody noticed Wow, I love this report. It's interesting that there's no mention of our balloons, which it does exactly this 2019 question story after story about it. You got a balloon over Hawaii Just the kind of common thing you'd think first thing you'd think you send a jet fighter to inspect it How does a jet fighter going to inspect he's gonna shoot past this thing at 500 miles an hour. It's stationary What kind of an inspection can you do? high-altitude helicopter I don't think get up that high no but what do you how do you inspect it you just shoot by it this is bullcrap this this is they're building a story of shite of bullcrap this is a psyop we are we are we're programming everybody and I mean I even saw Marjorie Taylor Greene at the State of the Union with a white balloon I'm just holding a white balloon doesn't mean anything everybody shut up

FBI Memo on Radical Traditionalist Catholics

An internal memo from the FBI's Richmond Field Office warned of "Radical Traditionalist Catholic" (RTC) ideology, linking it to white supremacy and anti-LGBTQ sentiment. The memo suggests that those who reject Vatican II and prefer Latin Mass may present "mitigation opportunities" for law enforcement.

fbi· richmond· catholic· rtc· vatican ii

1:04:07 The FBI's Richmond Field Office released an internal memo last month warning against radical traditionalist Catholic ideology and claimed it almost certainly presents new mitigation opportunities. That there is now a group of Catholics, they call them RTC, radical traditionalist Catholic, and this RTC ideology, they are now the new terrorists. Listen to this. RTC... I always thought that group would be the CIA. That's what they were traditionally. The CIA was a bunch of radical Catholics. Maybe this is code. Catholics in action, CIA. This is a memo from the FBI, so I'm with you.

1:04:56 I think the CIA has infiltrated the FBI. I think they own the FBI. Well, they probably do. What am I thinking? RTCs are typically radical, radical, traditionalist Catholics, are typically categorized by the rejection of the Second Vatican Council. Yeah, I would be in that group if I was not a lapsed Catholic. As a valid church council, disdain for most of the popes elected since Vatican II, particularly Pope Francis and Pope John Paul II, and frequent adherence to anti-Semitic, anti-immigrant, anti-LGBTQ, and white supremacist ideology.

1:05:34 Radical traditionalist Catholics compose a small minority of overall Roman Catholic adherents and are separate and distinct from traditionalist Catholics who prefer the traditional Latin mass and pre-Vatican II teachings and traditions. They make this so complicated, but I think they want to kick all of the rest of the Catholics at the CIA out of the CIA. That could be. There is a woke contingent over there that's causing trouble. Yes, all of this screams anybody who's still in CIA who's not on board with the program, you're out! Because this is a change. That'll be the day. What happened to the Christians? Come on man, you're supposed to crap on the Christians, not the Catholics. This is something very new. There's something going on.

1:06:24 Well, I don't know we don't have that kind of access so we don't really know that not yet the yet. Yeah, yeah not yet Seymour Seymour Herschel have the story for us just yeah, I hope God bless Seymour Hersch there was a story that was breaking and Breaking your mic you're you once again. I don't want to have to bitch all the time, but man you're yeah It's really annoying and the fact that you can't sorry you're not you're not you don't do anything about it No, I you know I'm extremely upset by this so I'm you know I have some solutions I may put us how about a new how about a new a new cradle cradle. There's an idea. It's only been three months

James O'Keefe Project Veritas Departure

James O'Keefe has reportedly been pushed out of Project Veritas following internal conflicts between the organization's 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) arms. Speculation suggests the recent undercover Pfizer sting may have caused friction with the group's board or lobbying interests.

1:07:11 I think if I stick cotton in here... Could somebody please send a new cradle to the PO box for John? Apparently he can't order one online. You are diminishing the quality of the show to some degree. I feel bad. You should! So breaking this morning, I just have to get this out, breaking this morning, breaking, breaking! James O'Keefe has been pushed out of Project Veritas. What? He is Project Veritas. Ah, but this is what I thought too. And I have not had enough time to delve into it. And of course we have a no agenda night at the top of the organization. However, it turns out there's two Project Veritases. There's the... What? There's the Project Veritas 501c3 Corporation non-profit.

1:08:07 and the Project Veritas 501c4, which is a lobbying organization. These cucks have been lobbied. They're lobbyers. They're taking money and lobbying. They're doing stories and lobbying these stories to influence Washington. If I had known that, I would have never talked to them. Not that I did, but that's crazy. They're not just a non-profit that outs people and I think the Pfizer thing, something went wrong. And that upset the lobbying group, which I don't think our knight is on the lobbying side of it, honestly. You don't know. Well, I have done a little bit of cursory, it looks like he's in the 501c3. And that's also where all the money is.

1:08:57 There's more money in the and people donate to the 501c3 and I think there was not enough money going to the four for the lobbying efforts and perhaps this Pfizer thing they went a little bit too far that was not supposed to happen. How about that as an idea as a theory? Well especially the part where the guy blew up at the end where they had the second part which is the better part of it. Yeah, that was... you couldn't script anything that good. No, it was dynamite. That was better than the Satanism at the Grammys. Yeah, it was. Yeah. So, gotta love it, man. Gotta love this stuff.

State of the Union 2023 Media Presentation

President Joe Biden delivered the 2023 State of the Union address, focusing on job growth, manufacturing, and the "Biden economic plan." Media coverage, particularly on ABC, is noted for its cinematic and highly produced presentation style, resembling an awards show.

joe biden· state of the union· abc news· economy· china

1:09:38 Yeah, lots of lots of moves lots of stuff happening. Something's going on. Yeah, I'm telling you something's up. Well, let's go to Biden's speech Oh, yeah, I have a perfect. I know you've got clips. I have the perfect setup that sets the mood You will you will appreciate this it is the ABC opener for the State of the Union And I just love the clip custodian. He's with his son Seamus They're driving right now through Alabama, and I want to thank him for this clip This is this is the perfect clip for our show was reeling but we acted together now two years in is clearer than ever that our plans work as Tensions with China escalate over the spy balloon shot down and the war in Europe enters its second year This is about freedom

1:10:21 Freedom for Ukraine, freedom everywhere. With historic job growth and economic recovery. The strongest job growth in history, the lowest unemployment rate in 54 years, manufacturing rebounding at a faster rate, inflation coming down. Put simply, I would argue the Biden economic plan is working. But a looming showdown over the death ceiling ahead. I will not let anyone use the full faith and credit of the United States as a bargaining chip. With a country reeling from mass shootings and police brutality, President Biden stands before a divided Congress and a polarized nation to deliver his vision of the next year. We're the United States of America.

1:11:02 And nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing is beyond our capacity. Considering it comes from a news organization. It's it's it's that's beyond the pale That's even that the voiceover is not their typical voiceover. That's the kind they use for award shows on stage tonight joining One of the women who does yeah Joining LL Cool J. Sam Smith and us in a slew of Satan's yeah, and that was good. I

1:11:45 So that was set up beautifully. What did you watch? I watched a little C-SPAN, but we mainly watched the Fox coverage. And it was, I'm sure it was all pool, but they had the script, you know, they knew when this came up, they, you know, oh, hearing aids for everybody! They're not hearing aids. Elizabeth Warren, you rock! Or she was, cut to Elizabeth Warren, they had it down, they had the script down, they knew what cameras to cut to. Yeah, the good director, whoever directed that did a great job. Well I watched it on ABC and I didn't see that piece that you played but okay. I saw live. Live!

Tyree Nichols and 1870 Police Reform Pins

During the State of the Union, members of the Congressional Black Caucus wore pins with the number "1870," referencing the year Henry Truman was killed by police. Media reports on the Tyree Nichols case are scrutinized for inaccuracies regarding the charges filed against the officers involved.

tyree nichols· memphis· 1870· congressional black caucus· police reform

1:12:34 And then I looked at this, I decided to go off to the coverage and I wanted to take a look at how they're gonna deal with it. So I started with Amy on Democracy Now! because that's gotta be your go-to. And she starts off with a 50, I got a lot of these very short clips because it's mostly, oh there's an interesting lie. And so Amy lies a lot and then I take it over and I have a few clips from CBS also short where there's also more lies literal lies Let me start with this one. This is This is Biden SOTU Amy Lies Democracy Now. It's a 15 second clip. The lie is right in there. Comments about the police killing of Tyree Nichols in Memphis, Tennessee. Biden spoke exactly a month after Nichols was brutally beaten by officers. January 7th he died. Three days later in the hospital five of the officers have been fired and charged with murder.

1:13:30 They've not been charged with murder. Hello? Lies! Starts right away with a big lie. Wow. They're not charged with murder. Okay, let's go on with the part two of the rundown. Members of the Congressional Black Caucus and other Democrats wore pins with the number 1870 on them. That was the year when a black man named Henry Truman was shot dead by a white Philadelphia police officer. It's the first known instance of a police officer killing a free black person in the United States. I don't know that it was a white police officer.

1:14:08 Well, we don't know anything. I never heard of this before but that's pretty obscure. I looked it up. You heard about it? No, but I looked it up. I saw two things. I saw abortion pins. I'm like, okay, there you go. Just a pin that said abortion. I mean, I love the abortion pins. Sam Smith should have been wearing that, would have completed his outfit. The 1870, there's a Wikipedia page and that's exactly, I don't recall it saying it was a white cop. I thought it was more the first instance of a black person being killed by law enforcement, by a cop. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It took that long? But it's like, wow.

1:14:47 That's how far back you're... What are you trying to prove with this? Yeah, that's what I'd like to know. Whoever concocted that is not a PR specialist. The Curry Dvorak Consulting Group would have advised against this. I would have advised against the abortion pin. I think that was a stretch too. It's a big giant pin that says abortion. Is that like a comment on yourself? I mean, it's open to too much humor. Yeah, that thought came to mind. Yeah. Were you aborted? Oh, goodness. Then I have the Biden S.O.

Social Security "Trap" and Heckling in Congress

President Biden engaged in a back-and-forth with Republican lawmakers after accusing some of wanting to sunset Social Security and Medicare. The moment, which included Marjorie Taylor Greene yelling "liar," is described as a political trap that forced Republicans to publicly agree to protect the programs.

joe biden· social security· medicare· marjorie taylor greene· heckling

1:15:26 President Joe Biden delivered his second State of the Union Tuesday night, his first to a divided Congress after Republicans took the House in the midterms. Biden touted his infrastructure legislation, backed an assault weapons ban, the codification of abortion rights, and taxing the ultra-rich and corporations. He also addressed racism and police violence, calling on Congress to support police reform. Republicans repeatedly heckled Biden throughout his address. One of the more raucous moments came when Biden accused Republicans of pushing to cut Medicare and Social Security. Some Republicans want Medicare and Social Security to sunset. I'm not saying it's the majority. Let me give you—anybody who doubts it—let me give you a chance.

1:16:17 Contact my office. I'll give you a copy. I'll give you a copy of the proposal. That means Congress doesn't vote. Well, I'm glad. The lawmaker yelling liar at President Biden is far-right Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene. All right, I got to say something about this because this, I thought, was probably a brilliant move that took place here. First, Only a few short years ago, it was shocking and outrageous when President Obama had the State of the Union and I forget who it was someone yelled out liar! It was a... Yeah he's still in Congress. Who was that? Do you remember who that was? I don't have his name in front of me but he still works. It was a scandal. It was it was it was unbelievable. It was horrible. And of course even President Trump got more respect than President Biden.

1:17:13 And although, and I read the newsletter and you gave the genesis, I mean, this is, it never had to be a speech, you know, it kind of started with once we had mass media like radio, but before it was like a letter. It's like, hey, you know, the state of the union is X, Y, or Z, and it was just, it was kind of a, it's in the constitution from time to time you do that. Now it's become this media circus. And what happened here, it showed we have lost all decorum within our political structure and all of them are giant a-holes. This thing specifically I think was a trap. It was a trap and they fell for it and she's highlighting Marjorie Taylor Greene. I have the rest of that. I'd just like to play this so you can hear what happened after that. And so President Biden says

1:18:05 There are Republicans who are coming for your Social Security money and Medicaid are coming for it. They're coming for it like George Carlin would say they're coming for your Social Security Which I think is a lie. It's and and he but he counted no, no I got receipts come to my office and then something interesting happens If Congress doesn't keep the programs where they are they go away other Republicans say I'm not saying it's a majority of you I don't even think it's even a significant But it's being proposed by individuals. I'm not politely not naming them, but it's being proposed by some of you. Look, folks, the idea is that we're not gonna be moved into being threatened to default on the debt if we don't respond. Folks, so folks, as we all apparently agree,

1:19:08 Social Security and Medicare is off the books now. It was a trap. It was a trap. I'm telling you it was a trap. Oh, wait a minute. You just heard it. We all agree, right? We all agree, right? Republicans, you're with me, right? It was a trap, John. And he doubled down on it. to that this is about the debt ceiling, they can't use Social Security and Medicare to hold stuff back, they can never touch it. If anything ever happens to Social Security from now on, it'll always be the Republicans' fault. It was always going to be. But he did it during the State of the Union, I don't think he's that coherent. I think it was a great trap and someone made him do it pretty early on.

1:20:07 I don't think it was a trap. I think it was a positive thing for the State of the Union. It's the worst speech ever. I would like to see more of this. This is more like Parliament in England and Parliament in Canada. They have a little more of this action. I liked it and they did it, there were four moments where this was gonna happen. I would like this if it was during debates on the floor. I liked it. I think heckling and hooting the guy is, in fact if they'd thrown tomatoes at him or eggs. I would have... oh they're too expensive. Eggs? That would have been the height of elitism. I would have... tomatoes.com Oh, okay, yeah, alright. You throw the eggs at tomatoes. Now you're over the top. The other thing I suggested in the newsletter that a fistfight would be dynamite. Come on! I'm not saying it's a... I'm not saying... we've lost all decorum. Congress has no respect from anybody anymore except for you because you love the fistfight idea.

1:21:09 I do. So I got a kick out of that. So anyway, back to these clips. So I go over to... They should have been yelling, let's go Brandon! I mean if they had done that... Wow! You're right! You're absolutely right! Now that would have been cool, but no, no, no, no. None of them had that in them. the nards. They don't have the comedic humor. They don't have the comedy. They don't have it. Marty needs to be writing for them. Get Marty on the horn. Who's still irked that they hated his little clips. Oh, wait until you hear the end of Showmix. We have a real Biden deepfake.

Biden Wisconsin Visit and "Conversion" Comment

Following the State of the Union, President Biden traveled to Wisconsin to promote his economic agenda to blue-collar workers. During his remarks, he used the word "conversion" to describe the Republican shift on Social Security, a term that sparked linguistic analysis regarding its various meanings.

1:21:52 Okay, so here we go. Let's go with, now we went to CBS and we're gonna go right back to the lies. Excellent. So now we have Biden Wisconsin deliver CBS. Here we go. Well today President Biden traveled to the battleground state of Wisconsin to deliver on his promise of an economic progress to the state's blue-collar workers. Okay, now what did she say there? I have to listen to it again. It went by so fast. Today President Biden traveled to the battleground state of Wisconsin to deliver on his promise of an economic progress to the state's blue-collar workers. He went to the state of Wisconsin to deliver on his promise for the something for the some economic progress for blue-collar workers. Okay, so he went to Wisconsin to deliver on his promise

1:22:42 Deliver what? I'll show up! He went to Wisconsin and gave basically a shortened version of the State of the Union speech which is vaguely the same speech he's always been giving. Ground up and the inside out! You know, this speech is always the same. It's a stump speech and his State of the Union was one too. Let's finish the job! That's new. And so he, she says he's going to, went to Wisconsin to deliver on the promise. That's CBS man, those guys. What are you talking about? He didn't go to deliver anything. He went there to give the same speech and give a pep talk. Is it possible that she meant to say to deliver a speech about

1:23:32 economic promises for the blue collar? She's reading from the prompter, she's good. She is not a slouch. She reads from the prompter, she's good at it. She said what it said. He went to deliver on his promise. Oh man. Yeah, lies! Lies, this is a blatant lie by the by the host the hostess or whatever you want to call it model news model of CBS Okay, so we go from there that really galled me. I spotted it immediately. That's why I made this clip So short, so there's another short one This is part two comes one day after his sometimes rowdy State of the Union address CBS is we Jajang has more last night. I reported on the State of the Union. I

1:24:24 Okay now what okay you're asking so what's wrong with that? You don't go from a I'm just criticizing Nora you don't go from okay and here's Adam to give us a report and then we hear you know Trump's voice. Let me hear it again. Comes one day after his sometimes rowdy State of the Union address CBS's Ouija Jiang has more. Last night I reported on the State of the Union. You'd have to hold the whole clip in context. Is that Lisa Sting or whatever her name is? I'd have to hear the whole... because if it was just that and then... No, she comes in later obviously. It's not uncommon to do a report. You're... I'm not going to give you that one. Okay, okay, alright. I don't give you that one. Now you're just hating Nora.

1:25:10 Okay, here we go part three don't kill the messenger last night I reported on the State of the Union it is strong Fresh off a fiery. No, I'm just a valid report valid report last night. I reported on the State of the Union it is strong Fresh off a fiery State of the Union speech President Biden took his economic message to Wisconsin where he mocked Republicans who heckled him Tuesday night Marjorie Taylor Grinnell stood up as a liar liar Reminds me of that liar, liar, house on fire. The president began last night's address by urging Congress to come together. Speaker, I don't want to ruin your reputation, but I look forward to working with you. But that civility quickly disappeared. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy seen shushing members of his own party at least four times.

1:25:59 Republicans interrupted Mr. Biden when he talked about stopping fentanyl from being trafficked across the southern border. President Biden also turned the table. Whoa, whoa. They conveniently didn't report what they said. I mean what I heard was it's your fault. Yeah. They didn't but that's not in the report. Corrupted Mr. Biden. Of course they've lost it over CBS. When he talked about stopping fentanyl from being trafficked across the southern border.

1:26:39 President Biden also turned the tables. Some Republicans want Medicare and Social Security. I'm glad to see you. I tell you, I enjoy conversion, as we all apparently agree. Conversion was great. I enjoy conversion? What is he talking about? Well, conversion means that you switch, that you switch Gender that you switch Opinion yes, I looked the word up this morning. That is the first definition is switching from one opinion to the other usually the converse But but it seems like a word that that's why I thought it was phony baloney trap because that would be a word you put in the teleprompter

Kamala Harris CBS Interview and Resolute Desk

Vice President Kamala Harris appeared on CBS Mornings to discuss the State of the Union and the Chinese spy balloon. Her performance is noted for its rehearsed nature and her emphasis on spending time with the President at the "Resolute Desk" to project authority.

1:31:37 Oh brother, that's like a career killer bro. That's a dumb idea. Hey, Kanye on line one for Seth. You're on a roll here. I know, I know. In the beginning you're flubbing and flubbing. I figured your IQ was down three points. Now you're funny. That's the reason. Let's go to Kamala Harris with Gayle. But we're going to begin this hour with a State of the Union speech by President Biden last night. Did you stay up late to watch? Yep, you did. This is the first time that he addressed Congress since Republicans took control of the House. And you could say he got some noisy pushback from some GOP lawmakers.

1:32:16 Some Republicans want Medicare and Social Security to sunset. I'm not saying it's the majority. Let me give you, anybody who doubts it, contact my office. I'll give you a copy. I'll give you a copy of the proposal. Vice President Kamala Harris joins us now from Washington. Madam Vice President, it's good to see you. I want to get your take on the good morning, the speech last night. I've heard because that is one of the storylines this morning. I've heard descriptions of heckled, rude, obnoxious, but the president of the United States seemed to thrive in the give and take at points. What did you make of the tone last night in the room?

1:32:59 Well, good morning Gail. I'll tell you I was in the room obviously and I think that there's... I love that part. I mean, yeah, I was in the room obviously. I'm in the zone. Well, good morning Gail. I'll tell you I was in the room obviously and I think that there's... Before, before we... Now, I have a question. What is the deal with how she holds her neck back? You know what I mean? She has her head back like that. Well, she supposedly has this huge cut. Cut? Like she had her throat slit across the bottom of her neck. This is being pointed out on a lot of social media. Why was this? Do we know anything about that? And so she holds, I think she holds her neck back to make it look less obvious.

1:33:46 Well, she should just wear a turtleneck. It should be fine. Currie DuVoir, Consulting Group, advise turtleneck Madam President. Madam Vice President. Well, good morning, Gail. I'll tell you, I was in the room obviously and I think that there sadly tends to be a theatrical element to that evening as time has gone on but I think the president was in command and he was focused on the American people As opposed to necessarily the gamesmanship that was being played in the room in the clips that you just mentioned. No, okay. There's more. Let's just get down to some nitty-gritty with cams. Let's talk about China. He touched on China very briefly, but we have to talk about the balloon.

1:34:34 Okay, we know the balloon was shot down but your administration is still getting a lot of pushback on why you didn't shoot it down earlier when it was on the west coast before it traveled all across the country picking up who knows what. Was he ever on the west coast? No, you're right. It came over America's heartland. traveled all across the country picking up who knows what. In hindsight do you all think well maybe we should have taken action a little earlier? Are you pleased with how you handled it? I think that the president without any question and I spent a lot of time with him in the Oval Office when he sits behind that resolute desk making decisions about what is in the best interest of the American people. Okay hold on a second. This is, she was coached on this clearly.

1:35:22 So first of all she wants to make you make sure you know that she spends a lot of time in that Oval Office and he sits behind that resolute desk because that's the center of power you see and she wants to connect the resolute desk to her and the Oval Office and she's on her way there. A lot of time with him in the Oval Office when he sits behind that resolute desk making decisions about what is in the best interest of the American people and I wish people could see what I see because he always has the well-being and the safety of the American people first and foremost in his mind. We've been clear about the policy as it relates to China. First of all, when there's a violation of our sovereignty such as the president described last night, took the balloon down. Done. Done! We blasted that shit outta here!

1:36:09 But there is also the president's leadership on the broader issue of how we need to deal with China. And we've been very clear. We invite competition, we don't seek conflict or confrontation. But we are prepared to do what is necessary to compete. So that's all I have. It's not stellar. That's stunk. I was hoping for a big gaffe or something. Nah, I wish I had it. This is very rehearsed. Yes, that was kind of the point that I made. It was just rehearsed. Yeah, she's very rehearsed and they're trying to get her off of the giggling thing. Yeah. Yeah, well she didn't giggle. No, that worked.

1:36:50 Yeah, we're pretty well pretty well, maybe this is weird. This is we're gonna die have to start documenting this the serious thoughtful Kamala Harris Clearly a setup Black-skinned woman black-skinned woman all all thought about by the way. Oh, yeah, and the CIA runs the world They run the presidency they run the country so it's not It's not surprising that the CIA broadcast systems that they set this up because she is going to be next. They're gonna put her there for a bit. What's the point of putting her there for a bit? Hold on, hold on. What did you say? I want to make sure everyone hears my mic. Just don't touch it. I bumped it. Just don't touch it. What? Don't touch the mic. I bumped it with my gla... I had my glasses on and you said something. I looked up and bumped the mic with my glasses. You're too close.

1:37:49 I'm a fit. That's a guy. I probably am too close. That's because this damn thing I gotta get down also, you know, what's disgusting is these really good quality pop filters. Yeah. They're made out of metal. Yeah. And they have, it's interesting because if you blow into them the air goes down not through. And they get disgusting. You have to put them in the dishwasher after about a year. Yes. Yes. It's gross. Anyway. Yeah. You know, following on this so we can just, if For my money we can end the discussion on US politics. There also was an oversight committee meeting with testimony from the Twitter people because the Twitter files and Twitter is colluding with the FBI and wow, wow, are these people, this,

1:38:46 This was only about... We know this because we rarely even play stuff that, you know, we watch C-SPAN, we see what's going on, but it's all performative. It's funny. It's funny, but it's only performative and this is where people get up, they want the soundbite, gotta get the soundbite, gotta get the soundbite that will go viral. And they did and it was ad nauseam, ad nauseam. And I know you like her but Marjorie Taylor Greene is really irritating now. She's irritating. I never said I liked her. Oh yes you did. I like her for entertainment value and I think she's got a lot of gumption. I'll find the clip. I will bring receipts next time. You said I like her. She's got spunk. You said that. She's spunky.

1:39:38 The first time she was introduced when she was just... Well she is spunky and I think Bobert is too but I don't like her either. No! Okay well good! Good! So they have everyone from Twitter there and Yallroth. Who was in charge of the... My favorite, I do like him. Who's in charge of trust and safety team. Just a little clips here, little clips. This is Marjorie Taylor Greene. So glad that you're censored down. I'm so glad you've lost your jobs. Thank God a lot of my life. Come on! Hey, I'm bringing the clips. Of course it's entertaining, but it's bulk. Nothing's gonna happen. Of course not. We know this already. You keep harping on this. Because... You got the entertainment value. You don't glorify the good. It's important to play these clips. It's important to play the clips, but I also want people to be aware that

1:40:38 All the other podcasts will be discussing this for two weeks. Oh, that's so great. I'm jacked up about it. Jacked up, it'll be a podcast, oh, five podcasts all at the same time. Come on my show, let's discuss it. Let's go to the pool, boy. Oh, Ben Shapiro, everybody. I can't believe it, it's crazy. It's meaningless, people. It's only for your entertainment. So glad that you're censored down. I'm so glad you've lost your jobs. Thank God Elon Musk bought Twitter. And you know what? Let's talk about something a little bit further. It's amazing to me, Mr. Roth, as the head and trust

1:41:19 safety at Twitter. She can't even get a sentence out properly as the head and trust of safety. Her sentence structure sucks. She's drinking again. She's drinking. Your ability or should I say... And by the way it's Alan Musk so you know I gotta pull that back. When Alan Musk took over the Twitters. It's amazing to me Mr. Roth as the head and trust safety at Twitter your ability or should I say inability to remove child porn now here's something that disgusts me about you and your doctoral dissertation entitled gay data you argued that minors should have access to grinder an adult male gay hookup app minors really

1:42:07 You know, Elon Musk took over Twitter and he banned 44,000 accounts that were promoting child porn. You permanently banned my Twitter account, but you allowed child porn all over Twitter. And it's all about her once again. Bobert was worse. I don't have any Bobert. I didn't get it. Oh, I should have gotten the Bobert stuff She's she how dare you? I mean it was just like it was like Gretchen like Greta Oh, she's going after the guys for banning her. It was about her. Yes Exactly. It's all about them and I and I want to point out that even today I

1:42:49 all of these social networks, if you want to see porn you have to go search for a porn link, which you'll find in Google of course, and they're direct links into Twitter. You know, you can't find it through searching and it's not there, but it's all over the place. Well explain this to us because I'm unfamiliar with this process. So you've gone through this process and you found the porn? Well porn is a big word you'll get like a short video of kind of porn is it's a four-letter word But yeah, but the idea is it's an ad for a webcam girls or something else. That's what's going on here I I mean, I don't know about child pornography. I have no idea but it's everywhere once they got rid of back page Those guys got it all that's that was the whole idea. I

1:43:40 The whole idea was to do that. They need everything. Slurp it all up, to coin a phrase. Now we have Representative Clay Higgins. Clay Higgins. So he and this guy, oh he's a pontificator. He starts off, I didn't clip this, he starts off, are you all represented by council here today? They knew it was leaking. They knew it would hurt the Biden campaign. I was talking about the laptop. So the FBI used its relationship with Twitter to suppress criminal evidence being revealed about Joe Biden one month before the 2020 elections.

1:44:25 You ladies and gentlemen interfered with the United States of America 2020 presidential election you have interfered With the natural law of the country you interfered knowingly and willingly That's the bad news is gonna get worse Because this is the investigation part later comes the arrest part You're gonna get arrest when I throw you in jail! Oh crap I love this! I love it! And so this is, you know, you look around in the Tvdr sphere, that's all people are talking about today.

CHAPTER 32 / 46 Discussion

Jamie Raskin Cancer and Congressional Decorum

Representative Jamie Raskin's appearance in Congress wearing a do-rag and mask is discussed. It is noted that Raskin is currently undergoing chemotherapy for cancer, leading to a discussion on "cancer couture" and the health challenges facing the congressman.

jamie raskin· cancer· chemo· do-rag· congress

1:45:07 Yeah, it gives them something to do. But it's so lame because it's such a distraction. You know what's not lame is analyzing the look of the committee. It's contagious. All the Democrats, all masked up. Oh, you're all messed up. Oh masked up. And then the worst one is Jamie Raskin who's all masked up and he's got a do-rag on. What? No. Why? Yes. Jamie Raskin I have photos I'm gonna put him out put him in the next newsletter Jamie Raskin with his mask on a do-rag wait a minute wait Oh, does he does he have cancer? It's gonna be something horrible. No, it's does he doesn't have cancer. I think he does rag Yes, hi, bro. He has cancer. He does. Yes. He's in chemo and you're making fun of it's got a bald head Yes, well, what does he have to wear a do-rag for? Oh

1:46:07 He could wear a hat. He also wears baseball caps these days. A baseball cap is fine. I'm seeing the picture right now. So he has to have a mask because he's vulnerable because he has cancer. Okay, well I'll give him... You gotta take that back. You gotta take that back. You're wrong. I'm taking it all back. I'm sorry for Jamie Raskin's being sick. But the do-rag is not something he needs to wear. If he's got chemo going on, he's bald. He can wear a hat, he can wear a baseball cap I think is fine. I'm glad that you're the arbiter of cancer couture. Cancer couture! The do-rag does not look good in Congress. It's alright, cancer couture is a new line. I feel bad now, you made me feel bad. I had no idea that he... I can't make you feel anything. You made me feel bad, I feel bad. I didn't know Jamie Raskin had cancer. What is his prognosis? What kind of cancer? Death.

1:47:06 I don't know man. I don't know but I know he is it from the Vax You know it's look Jamie Raskin is a cock, but his son died recently he got cancer. I mean he's not having a good year Okay, so I apologize to everyone who was cancer. Let's cut it out We'll cut it out of the cut it on the den post not not in a million years are we cutting that out? We will not fix that in post. Let's switch topics but stay within big tech because I have new information, new shit has come to light. My sister Willow in Italy has just completed her thesis for her master's in psychology and she already has the hardbound copy. What's it titled?

CHAPTER 33 / 46 Discussion

TikTok vs Google Search Dominance

Internal research from Google indicates that nearly 50% of users aged 18 to 24 now use TikTok or Instagram for information discovery instead of Google Search. This shift explains the legislative pressure to de-platform TikTok in the United States as a means of protecting domestic tech monopolies.

tiktok· google· search engine· Gen Z· italy

1:48:06 Adult usage of short video applications, motivations and the role of trust. Wow, that sounds like a good idea. Yes, and you know she worked at an Amazon subsidiary for many years specifically on recommendation engines so she knows a lot about this. And she decided at 56, 54 I might add, she decided that... I'm sure she appreciates that, go on. I'm very proud of my sister and she's proud of it too because this is something you don't typically do when you're 50s to go get your master's.

1:48:42 Now I'm not allowed to cite everything yet, but I can tell you this one important detail. Now her data was all in Italy. I do have to point that out that this is and it's all documented of course the footnotes and all that but it's Italian data, but it doesn't mean that it's untrue or that it wouldn't compare to America. And this was you know, I we have I might actually be better probably I have said that TikTok is being de-platformed by these very same people who are, you know, talking, asking these silly questions and make it all about them.

1:49:22 being de-platformed and they want to kick it out of America altogether. Out of the app stores, no more TikTok. And I've said this is because they're losing their lunch, Google in particular, but also Instagram, who are desperately trying to jump on the video vibe, which is short video application. This is exactly what my sister did her master's on. And this is the piece I'd like to quote to you. Recent internal research conducted by Google found that among users aged 18 to 24, almost 1 out of 2 first go to TikTok or Instagram to obtain information rather than Google search. No wonder these guys are freaking out. TikTok rules the roost. Gotta go.

CHAPTER 34 / 46 Discussion

Microsoft AI Integration and the Search War

Microsoft is investing $10 billion into AI technology to integrate ChatGPT into its Bing search engine. Google has responded by announcing its own chatbot, Bard, as the two companies race to dominate the next generation of interactive, AI-driven web search.

microsoft· bing· chatgpt· google bard· artificial intelligence

1:50:18 It has to, and they can't compete against... They're gonna have to just, I don't know what they're gonna do. No, what do you mean? Let's try competing with them instead. No. No, I can't do that. No, they've got Marco Rubio on the Intelligence Committee, Senate Intelligence Committee, so they have the right guy. And they got Josh Hawley, who I think is intelligence in the House. They got all the right people. It's all, oh no, we all got all the spies. And that of course, Brings us to our big tech story of which I have exactly one. It's an exciting time in tech It's never been an exciting time in the online war for search engine dominance Microsoft is betting big more than 10 billion dollars on artificial intelligence now the question is

1:51:07 How is AI going to reshape the web? The company's search engine will soon integrate some of the popular AI technology known as chat GPT Microsoft says instead of merely answering factual questions users will be able to ask complex questions in an interactive chat Do you think in this case these results artificial intelligence is gonna live up to expectations? I I think the answer is yes and no. I really think that a lot of the excitement... If you have an analyst and he says, I think the answer is yes and no, you got to hang up on the guy. All right, goodbye. Expectations?

1:51:42 I think the answer is yes and no. I really think that a lot of the excitement around chat GPT is a kind of misunderstands how limited and how flawed the technology can be. How it basically just gives you a sort of statistical average of what it's already read and it can make things up. Microsoft's CEO spoke with CBS Morning's Tony DeCople ahead of today's announcement. It seems like everybody is coming out with new products this year. Where is this going? Well, as you said, it's a new race and it's a new race in the most important software category or the largest software category in search. Let's face it, Google dominates it. Google is also jumping in this week announcing its plans to develop a similar chatbot called Bard. Okay, couple things. Barf?

1:52:33 From now on, Curry Dvorak Consulting Group recommends you rebrand from Bard to Barf. It's Microsoft Barf! Nice. I'm on a roll, you're on a roll. These guys, let's just talk about that for a second. We've had Microsoft Bob, we have Barf, we have Bard, we had Clippy, Could be I mean I could be is the original AI yes I famously made a lot of money on one of these scams which was ask Jeeves if you remember that oh you just asked Jeeves and the man and answer comes magically well that thing that turd went all the way to zero

1:53:19 Wallpaper level it held in there not for long not for long enough to get you some cash No, I I was able to get money out because somehow because I was pre IPO I was in some lockup group that I could sell some shares Which is a total scam on its face and by the time the lockup ended it wasn't zero It didn't last that long. I remember quite clearly. No, but let's let's just Talk about this for a moment. We are tech analysts. We know what we're talking about. We've lived in the scene. You in particular. The milieu, I'm still here. The milieu. I'm going to say there's no evidence anybody wants this kind of service. I think it's a farce. I think it's a huge mistake. I think Google... What's the guy's name who runs Sundar?

1:54:15 Pichai is he's a Google? Sudar. I like that. Mr. Sudar. I think this guy was just sitting around like developing cool products because he's an Indian and he's a he's an operator and doing arbitrage. I looked at their quarterly numbers. They spent 13 billion dollars on acquisition costs, which means paying people to use their silly search engine. That's a lot of money. Well, I want to say something before you continue. This idea that Microsoft's going to pay how many billion for some AI stuff? Define what. The engine, I guess. Microsoft has, according to our

1:55:06 Facts online Microsoft has two hundred and twenty one Thousand employees and they can't code this themselves No, because it it's not a challenging project. It's so dumb. No one thought about it this this is what the echo Alexa should have been echo you should have been able to do this type of stuff with Alexa and But Amazon doesn't have... they're completely stupid when it comes to this. Remember that Microsoft had Tay? Tay? Remember Tay? Their chatbot Tay? It turned into a Nazi? I vaguely remember the chatbot Tay. Yeah, T-A-Y, Tay. It turned into a Nazi within like two weeks. Yes, the Taybot, that was in 2016.

1:55:56 Well, this brings us to Amazon. Let me mention this number. How many employees do you think Amazon has? Yeah, a lot of them work in the warehouse, but they have coders. Yeah, they got, well, they got rid of a lot of them with the, getting rid of this exact thing. They should have reinvigorated Alexa with this interface talk that this thing does. Because that's all that it is. It's not giving you great answers, it's making you feel comfortable. I can talk to a bot. They have 800,000 employees, almost a million, and you're telling me you don't have 10 people that could form a team to copy this technology? No. Come on, man. You know how Silicon Valley works. It has to happen now. They need it now. It's a race. We got to have it. Everyone has to have it now. It's a hot new thing. Let's not even wait because they know that they are overburdened, overstaffed, overpaid.

1:56:49 over socialized Undereducated they need to get something in quick because look at Microsoft. They're kicking our ass Oh good. It is gonna be a race to the bottom a race to the bottom We could start a search engine and win Raced at the bottom. Yeah become the tortoise. Oh It's it's called sentinel AI Sentinent AI. And so Bing, their AI is open for everybody today. They started. And so it's gonna be in all your products. So you can say, Microsoft, write my resignation letter. All of this stuff is gonna be fantastic. Now they're all making big mistakes, big mistakes. Well, it's easy for us to say. Well, that's what we do.

1:57:39 We're the guys doing a podcast, you know, what standing do we really have? No, I mean, you've got to do something for a living. And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage. Say in the morning to you, the man who put the C in the CNN primetime comedy, ladies and gentlemen, say hello to my friend on the other end, Mr. John C. DeMora. Well, in the morning to you Mr. Adam Curry. Also in the morning to all ships at sea, boots on the ground, feet in the air, and subs in the water in the day, and the night's out there. In the morning to our trolls in the troll room. Let's just go right away and count these trolls. Let's see how many you have. Trolls don't scurry away. Hold on, let me count. One, two, three, four. Nineteen thirty-four. One thousand nine hundred thirty-four. Holy mackerel. Yeah, we're kicking ass man. That's a thousand more than last Thursday.

1:58:31 No. It was 1800 then. That's a hundred more, not a thousand. A thousand more. This is why we do a podcast and we're not running Microsoft or Google. You can't count. Well, it's a hundred more, that's something. It's a pretty good number. Ever since we left January, at least that's been going up. I don't know what people are doing. It's funny because it's going up and the donations are going down. How does that work? The trolls are sitting in the troll room. You can join them at trollroom.io. That's just the website. You can listen to the stream live in real time and hop into the troll room and troll around as much as you want. You can really, there's plenty of people in there. Or you can use one of the fantastic new apps, Podcast Addict, Podverse. They both do it. They'll give an alert when we send out the bat signal and we start the show. You get the same thing right where you get our podcast. Normally all your podcasts

1:59:25 you get the bat signal, you get the alerts that we're going live. Go live! And you can listen to the live stream and hop into the chat room. It's all in one bundle. And you can also see all of our art that we put into chapters. It's all part of Podcasting 2.0. Find one at newpodcastapps.com. And we want to thank the artist for episode 1527. We titled that Grip and Grin. And the... The best art went to Capitalist Agenda and this was a very pretty cartoon comic strip I would say, comic strip like

2:00:07 drawing Batman that's what I'm looking for like a big pow excepted the pow was no agenda and we've got and of course it's Representing the exploding balloon. Correct. Thank you with a little spaceship there with a 33 for some reason doesn't matter beautifully done beautifully done Let's take a look. Let's go to no agenda art generator comm which you can also follow in real time The artists are submitting art in real time. I But you can always do it after the fact. All right, correct the record, made of Fred Cruz. Thank you very much. That's just for us, I know. So we had a couple of different options. There was a lot of balloon stuff, a lot of Biden balloon stuff. We don't really like politicians' heads typically. We don't like to use that. But everyone was all over the balloon. A reminder to the artists that

2:01:06 You're going to see this in a very small format So things that are just not big and in your face are and small letters are just not going to work So they're not going to be chosen because that's just I mean look at your phone Look at whatever you list to your podcast on it's not your Adobe Photoshop file so we take that into account and we also like stuff that pops I know balloons pop but This this piece of art was fantastic. We actually looked at the comics for blogger Joe the balloon boy That was kind of kind of funny and went against all of our rules. There was something about Joe with the aviators with with With wings on his back. I like to Roger Roundy piece, which was the up

2:01:52 Yes, because it was and I used it in the newsletter because I Not gonna let a piece of art like that, which I know it's totally original I'm not gonna let it go to waste so that got used eventually you didn't like it because it was too small I couldn't really you can't even see Dvorak which has done the Disney letters. I can see it. Okay. Yes Okay, Kara and and also it was unfortunately placed between Anthony Blinken and some other bad balloon thing Didn't help but I mean come on the the the capitalist agenda piece was just dynamite it was just positive But it wasn't the first piece we saw no I also like the grip and grin by Tantaniel We didn't really discuss, but we'd already decided on the that grip and grin was gonna be a title I think didn't we or do we not?

2:02:45 Think we did but not we hadn't even was an official. Yeah, we knew it. We felt that that was gonna be it We already knew it somehow. Well, I didn't like gripping grim because it had the it was it was creepy to me because You don't like no, I don't like creepy stuff because I think it reflects poorly on the show. Yeah, I know I You also, we also, at least one of us, or maybe I don't know who, but the Eggcellent with the chicken and the two eggs that say AC and JCD. I like the piece by Toast, who hasn't been doing pieces much. I like that. But I hear the most, you can't even read the most Eggcellent podcast in the universe, you just can't read it. No, it's all too small. And then I also like the AI podcasters, the two robots podcasting.

2:03:40 Yeah, I did it because I think it was I think it was AI generated. I didn't hate it But I've seen this these types of pieces of art generated by AI and that's what I presume it was I have to assume so yeah, and that just pissed me off Nobody has the thing is unless you have pieces available at the moment in other words a lot of artists have all their elements available and they can throw a piece together pretty quickly and This is not that. This has to be AI generated. Yeah. It's just too much. It's too much work to do within the time span of the show. Yeah. And also there was pretty much nothing this morning for my bat signal art, which was weird. Yeah. Typically people, they'd keep track of that too. There's a 1528 I see. Yeah. And what do you see that's wrong with this? 1528? Yeah.

2:04:39 Well the kerning between the one and the five is annoying. That's the that's that I looked at that one No, that's annoying and it's also comics your blogger. So it's like two strikes just kidding the one next to it though challenge coin That wasn't there this morning when I looked oh that happens. I wasn't there. No wasn't there Well capitalist agenda congratulations, thank you for submitting your art for doing the work. Thank you to all of the artists We really appreciate every single one of you And and I know we know that you appreciate our honest opinion, which doesn't mean we're right or we're particularly skilled But that's how you will be dealt with in the real world. So it's it's good training most art directors are dumber than we are. Yeah That's why the art keeps coming in Everybody knows that's true. No agenda art generator. You didn't you refuse it cuz of what? Yeah, exactly

CHAPTER 36 / 46 Discussion

Value for Value Model and Media Unions

The "Value for Value" funding model is contrasted with traditional advertiser-based media and the recent unionization of staff at Crooked Media. The departure of Mark Steyn from GB News due to potential regulatory fines is cited as an example of why independent, listener-supported models are more sustainable for free speech.

value for value· mark steyn· crooked media· spotify· podcasting

2:05:33 Yeah, if they even will tell you if they'll even be honest about it before we go. I know there's that I want to explain that we've we've adhered to the value for value model which we Pioneered and I would say invented and which doesn't sound so well. It sounds like tipping no no We provide value What why are you laughing? There's a guy in the background yelling tipping tipping There used to be a product that competed with PayPal, if you remember. When PayPal first came out, they had other companies have come along since, but when PayPal first came out there was a company that may have actually predated PayPal called Tip Jar. Oh yeah, I think it's probably still around, Tip Jar. And Tip Jar used to be the big competitor

2:06:24 And it was like, you know, it was like tip jar, you know? This is like we're playing the piano at some sleazy nightclub and there's a jar there and you're supposed to put a dollar in it. No, I remember these discussions we had. because it wasn't just a product. People say, hey man, you should put a tip jar on your website. You should put a tip jar on your blog. You should use a tip jar for your podcast. And I think we went, why don't you blow me with your tips? We're not working for tips here. We provide value. If you think it's valuable, send us whatever you think it's worth because we can't determine what is valuable to you. It took a long time for us to figure out what the show is worth to us.

2:07:02 and to the audience too, and the producers. And one of the things that you note if people just start off, you know, they have, or you can, you know, if I, you start a podcast and you have like maybe 10,000 listeners, if you're lucky. Let's say 2,000 listeners. And you say, well, you know, that's great because if I put a $2 a month subscription, And my 20,000, my 10,000 listeners all subscribe, that's $20,000 a month. I'm gonna make a lot of money. I'm gonna make $240,000 a year. And that's great. Except for everything. What we know is that approximately 4% of all people who listen

2:07:48 to any product, in the product realm, but it's probably across the board, it's about 4% that will support you. If that. But I think we have built a very passionate, loyal audience who appreciate the value we provide. It helps that it's huge. That's what she said. Do you think that we are still at 4% more or less? It sounds right. So I'd be guessing more like two to three but so there's let's just say 90% 97% of all listeners agree that we're that we have no value and they're just sitting there or they're just cheap maybe they think we have value but why should they pay yeah well and and you know they will be dealt with

2:08:33 Not by us, not by us. But here's the reason why. Here's a perfect example. Mark Stein, who I think we both enjoyed. We had funny little bits on Tucker and then he moved to... Yeah, Mark Stein's good. He used to be a substitute host for Rush Limbaugh. And then he moved to GB News. And that didn't last long because they're advertiser-based, they're M5M, they're on cable, or you can get them on the television. And he now had to resign because the cable company, GB News, said, hey Stein, if you say something wrong, you got to pay the fines. And he went, what? What?

2:09:14 That's not a workable situation. You can't sit there as a host and the finest from Ofcom, those guys don't mess around. You can't just sit there as a host trying to do a free form, even scripted, you have to second guess everything, no, no. So he's gone now. Value for value is the only thing that's left for him. Or you know, maybe we could have been bought by Spotify. Hmm, how does that work? Well when you're at Spotify and when you're crooked media, Who do the Daily, was it the Daily Show? What's that popular podcast? The Daily Show on Comedy Central? No, no, the Daily News Show. Oh, the one on the New York Times? The Daily, it's called The Daily. I think Crooked Media produced that. Yeah, a bunch of cucks who go around the country. Doughnut Cucks. Doughnut Podcast. And of course they had, you know, thousand dollar Neumann mics and we got all kinds of stuff. Yeah, guess what? It's ending because Crooked Media staff

2:10:11 That's the people who the stars of the show they were making money. They sold the whole outfit for 300 million Yeah, they made the money up front, but their product is about to be crap because they joined the Union the staff joined the Union a podcast staff joined the Union Tell us why this doesn't work what Well, it's not viable. You can't, there's too much, it's too wide open. You can't do stuff like that. The union, you can't pressure people. It's just, the economics, you can't formularize how it's possible because there's... We turn over... I don't know, I can't explain it, but I can tell you. How about this? Because you can't run it profitably. There's no money that can afford union staff that does everything. We do everything ourself.

2:11:04 Yeah, you have in list. Oh, I've told your daughter broadcasting cut out all the you can't have producer a lot of these places I mean, it's weird that we can do this, but we both have certain skill sets that make it work But if you don't have these skill sets you You and you have to have a producer and an engineer and another producer and then a voiceover guy and then a lot of line line producer you gotta have the artists one artist one artist mind you for album art and other things one just one not a stable of hundreds just one

2:11:40 And so it just doesn't work and everyone will eventually wake up and learn that this is the only way to do it We've been saying it for 15 years and god bless no agenda nation. You guys make made it happen Everything we do from podcasting 2.0 to too many egg books Dot-com to anything. No agenda nation is there for us and we appreciate it. The connection is protection for us and for you. So that's why we say please What value did you get from this from this product that we work work go ahead I was gonna say and we're gonna continue with these long lectures and analyses until we get enough donations come up a little bit more Talk about the tad tad Disappointing but it does mean we only have one donation segment once again that that gives you the clue right there. I

CHAPTER 37 / 46 Discussion

donations· knighting· sir reptitious· chicago· value for value

2:12:34 So we're gonna kick it off with our executive and associate executive producers, which also no one dares do because if you have a union you can't just be handing out executive producer titles to willy-nilly people. Oh no, that's only for elites who are in the union! We have to have a taxonomy to know who's who in the world. Man, that shit got out of control real quick with Spotify, with all that money, and it's all gonna end. It's all gonna end. Spotify may end itself. Well, I'd like to know when those Neumann mics go on sale. I have one of those. Wow. I have my spies on the lookout for it. Well, we kick it off with Jessica Seeger from Hancock, New York, New Hampshire, who comes in, boom, with a donation for her husband in honor of his birthday. $1,000. He becomes an instant knight, I believe. Sir Epticious of Hancock

2:13:33 And she says, thanks for all the babies my love and that he deserves an extra... What babies does she have? I don't know but I think he should be thanking her. He deserves an extended dedouche. We only have one kind. You've been dedouched. And she says, thanks for what you do. I'm now presuming that's for us. I don't know, maybe she's still thanking him. So, oh yeah, thanks for what you do so we don't have to love to you both. And she ends there with the grutjes in Dutch. And I have an insertion here that I forgot to tell you about. Tina went to Chicago to see her family, which is in Northwest Indiana. And Kate and her husband, I don't know,

2:14:19 They are No Agenda listeners from episode one, have the old challenge coins, everything. They decided to do a meetup, which they interestingly titled a keep up, since it's the keeper. And she came home with a donation for no agenda from mailman Dan. $501.03 in cash and coin. No note. I want to thank him for that and I shall send it off to Jay to make sure that that gets into the kitty. That was highly appreciated. Thank you very much mailman Dan. Yeah, it's a big deal. It is. It is. No note. Okay. No note. Nope. Well then we go on to Tito.

2:15:01 Parts Unknown. Tito has the jingles he wants WTC7 by Ayn Rand. Freedom. Yeah, it's never too late to donate, Tito writes. Douchebag and de-douching. for Paul and Bones. DOOSHBAG! I guess we go straight with it. DOOSHBAG! You've been de-dooshed. So that was a cryptic message. A cryptic message. There is no such thing as WTC7 by Ayn Rand, but I will add it for your pleasure. WTC7 won't go away! By Ayn Rand. Sweetum! There you go. Thank you very much

2:15:42 for that. Then we have Sir Paul Zimmerman, Dixie Washington, 333.33 which is one of our favorite executive producer donations. And in the morning from sunny Acapulco, Mexico. Is that where he's from? No, that's where he is now. I send you this contribution of baronet status boosting treasure. Nice, title change. While in attendance at the Anarcho... It's anarchy and Acapulco. Anarcapulco, Anarcapulco 2023. A mostly anarcho-capitalist conference taking place all this week in the Playa Bonfil area of sunny and warm Acapulco, Mexico. My first year attending this conference, but by the end of day one I knew it would not be my last. The short and quick way to summarize the crowd is that it is full of fellow travelers of Gitmo Nation who are here seeking amygdala shrinkage. As such, I'm doing my best to hit many of these brothers from other mothers and sisters from different misters in the mouth as I can.

2:16:43 And then he says, I could use some help. My recommendation to Gitmo Nation is to come on down. These are people, most of them I don't know yet. They'll be here next year. And he would love to organize a meetup. there next year and he could put it on the calendar that would be very good. Also calling out my good friend and pest control industry colleague Travis Ulrich of Lewiston, Idaho, a douchebag. I introduced Travis to NOAA Agenda some time ago. He recently picked up this wonderful listening habit. I look forward to the day when I hear that Travis has de-douched himself. Jingle request. He has a caca.

2:17:19 Where is it? Kakarucha? I didn't prepare this. Kakaracha? Kakaracha? Why am I not finding Kakaracha? Is it Kukaracha? Or Kakaracha? Kukaracha. Kukaracha. Yes. The Kukaracha. Anarchy goat scream. I got kiss my ring. He wanted to kiss my ring as well. We have a kiss my ring somewhere. Yes, here we go. You may kiss my ring! You've got karma. Sir Cristobal comes in from Dallas, Texas with $333.33 and he says, I haven't donated in a while, so I apologize for taking advantage of the value you've provided. There you go.

2:18:22 I suppose that requires a de-douching? Cheers! You've been de-douched. Brian H. San Rafael, California. 333.33. Dear John and I, my smoking hot wife Luvvie and I continue to enjoy your show. Keep up the insightful with CIT. I think it's Luvvie. Oh Luvvie? I'm sorry. I'm guessing. Luvvie. I hope it's Luvvie. Luvvie is a very common name. In California? It's just a name I've heard a lot. Keep up the insightful and insightful spelled with C-I-T-E, love it, and entertaining deconstruction work. Lovey hit me in the mouth in 2014 when we started dating and have been a dedicated fan ever since. Hey, the people that Noah Jenner together get married.

2:19:07 As this is not our first donation, we are not in need of a deducing. Rather, I'm seeking a jobs karma for Lovie who is applying for promotion at her place of employment. Best of you both. Brian H., San Rafael, California. Yes, I can throw a rock and hit John. Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs. Let's vote for jobs. We do not condone throwing rocks at the hosts. No. and he has to have a hell of an arm. John in Toronto Ontario 333 no notes we'll give him a double karma. You've got karma. Then we get Mark Bijleveld in Hadham Connecticut a Dutch in Connecticut

2:31:59 I have good end of show mix. I don't know if I have any great ISOs. Do you have any, do you have good ones? That you feel are winners? I have none. Okay, I win. Yeah, you do. Oh, goodness. Okay, well, I don't know. This is one. They were right all along. Hold on, do it again. They were right all along. No, you can't even hear it. You can't even hear it! They were right all along. No, it's no good. Here's the only one I have. This is going to have to be it. And it's a throwback to our youth. Teach your grandmother to suck eggs.

2:32:45 See, I gotta laugh. Okay. I gotta laugh! Yeah, so this is dumbest one ever. It's your grandmother's. It's a good one. That was an insult back in the day, wasn't it? I don't remember there being an insult. I remember actually hearing it. It was like your mom wears army boots. That was one. Yeah, yeah, it was an insult in the 30s I think. And your mom and your grandma sucks eggs. It was something. I never heard it until now. That's why I left. It's a good insult if you want to call it that. It's not nice. Maybe she likes sucking eggs. I mean you have to...

San Francisco Prostitution and Scott Wiener Law

A new California law signed by Governor Gavin Newsom, introduced by Assemblyman Scott Wiener, has effectively decriminalized loitering for the purpose of prostitution. Residents on San Francisco's Cap Street report rampant street-walking and traffic congestion, while local media is criticized for failing to link the situation to the specific legislation.

san francisco· scott wiener· prostitution· loitering· gavin newsom

2:33:26 Good point. Maybe she does like sucking eggs. Maybe it's possible. Yeah. All right, let's talk about whores All right opening for the show good to go. Thank you. I'll just mark that let's talk about whores All right. What do you got on the horror on the horoscope? Well, let's do let's play these clips Scott Wiener's whores Who is Scott Wiener? I'll explain. Okay, so this goes back I'd say six to nine months ago. I got one of those. I send these to you sometimes. These press releases. You want to talk to so-and-so for your podcast?

2:34:01 Oh yeah, sure. And I said, no, I don't want to, I don't do interviews, but I would like to talk to this woman. She's a Southern California cop and she was on the road talking about this problematic, I use that word, bill that Scott Weiner, San Francisco Assemblyman, introduced into the state legislature. Okay, and she says it's on Newsom's desk. It's got to be stopped I had a long chat with her. She's very nice and I said well, what's this all about? She was a the law looks to be in a law that permits loitering

2:34:39 And it's being promoted because this keeps the cops away from harassing the homeless supposedly and she says that's bullcrap because I'm a cop. We don't harass the homeless. We're told not to. This whole thing is going to be about prostitution. And stopping prostitution or encouraging it? Encouraging it. Oh, in California? Yeah. This is not news? It is in this regard. We know what you guys do in California. All right. So this is... We're not talking about a whore here and there, we're talking about...

2:35:17 the kindest thing you saw kind of in the late 70s when they, for a moment in history, a judge declared it illegal to stop hookers from soliciting on the streets of Berkeley, Oakland, the whole Bay Area. And so the place, it's just amazing. One day there's no girls around, next day there are thousands of them. So there's thousands of these women in San Francisco as we speak. clogging up one stretch that they decide these different areas and so we have some reports and this is Scott Wieners, Whores 1.

2:35:53 neighbors along Cap Street say they witnessed solicitation and assault as they deal with traffic honking and other loud noises. Now the city is stepping in starting this week. Barriers will go up along Cap Street between 18th and 22nd as KTVU is Alyssa Harrington tells us there's hope that these barriers will keep people from cruising the area. Neighbors along San Francisco's Cap Street shared pictures and videos of what they see out their windows on almost a nightly basis. What they believe are sex workers and their pimps, while a line full of Johns in their vehicles clogged the street. There's rampant prostitution on Cap Street. Residents we talked to did not want their faces on camera. They told us the situation has become dangerous. Violence of the pimps.

2:36:39 that they not only intimidate the women and men handle them aggressively, they also sometimes intimidate the neighbors. Noise it brings at night. I mean, I wake up multiple times a week at night. My kids have missed school. I've missed work. The city announced it is taking steps to curb this sort of activity. Starting this week, barriers will go up along Cap Street between 22nd and 18th streets. They're about two feet tall. They're big orange plastic barricades that you fill with water. Santiago Lerma, legislative aide to Supervisor Hillary Ronan, said they visited Cap Street on a Friday night to see the problem for themselves. What you see is a large amount of traffic on Cap Street, bumper to bumper almost. John's cruising up and down.

2:37:29 looking for sex workers so Wow so this is how they they give you your 15-minute city with the barriers, huh? Yeah, I like the way this guy this Super, but he has to be politically correct. So he says there John's cruising up and down looking for sex workers Yeah, of course you got us. That's that's the that is the correct word sex workers You just go you can't say you can't say that they're cruising up and down looking for hookers. I We're looking for certain girls. Girls or prostitutes would be another okay. You can't say prostitute. No, you can't say it. It has to be sex workers. So then to make this sort of balance. It's a valid job, okay? It's fine if it was legal.

2:38:17 And I don't have a problem with it necessarily because there's something humorous about it. Especially since there were no hookers in the area at all until this law passed, this Newsom signed, they knew very well what was going to happen. I can't imagine what's going on in LA. It's a jobs program. LA must be crawling, but that's an I don't have those reports Wow so of course they bring out a woman to comes out the Apologist for all the hookers and she comes on a part two of this clip We don't want to talk about people as disposable Celestina Pearl is an outreach manager with st. James infirmary a community clinic that provides support for sex workers in the city I'm very concerned about the young women

2:39:00 who work on this street who get so very little voice and so very little power and control over their own lives. Neighbors told us they do realize many of the workers are being trafficked and are victims, but they want enforcement and accountability so they can simply walk outside their homes at night and raise their kids in a safe community. It's really the fact that this is a residential neighborhood. I'm Alyssa Harrington, KTVU, Fox 2 News. Well, this is an outrage. Now, there are a couple of funny things about it. The humor here has to be noted, because I was going over the story with Mimi and she said, she claims that what I'm going to describe is because these millennials

2:39:40 and Generation Z whores take everything literally. And so as streetwalkers, they're on the street. Not on the sidewalk? No, there's no girls on the sidewalk. This is an outrage. They're literally on the street, like there's two rows of them on each side of the street and there's a group of girls down the middle. Down the white line there's a bunch of girls. Really? So you can you control you can you can you can cruise either direction? Yeah, you can have both windows down and get different properties. They get bid you get a bidding going bidding war But there's no girls on the sidewalks. That's just hilarious California is lost. It's it's over California has these moments and this is funny. This was predictable. They knew it's gonna happen They don't know what to do about it and the kicker the kicker

2:40:35 that in the reports on Fox, that was Fox? Yeah. The reports on CBS, NBC, ABC, all the local news, never once, none of them mentioned Scott Wiener, that law that he had passed about loitering and the fact that Newsom signed off on it. They do not mention that. They assiduously Avoid mentioning Scott Weiner and the Democrats and the law that was passed. They just go on and on about, oh it's terrible, let's put a barrier up. It's disgusting. I don't care about the hookers. Let me just understand. It's disgusting, the reporting is disgusting. Of course. So this was intended for homeless. That's the way it was, one of the ways it was presented. It was to abolish all loitering laws.

2:41:25 Because it hurts people's feelings if they're having to be homeless or they're loitering. What will Twitter do? There's no more webcam work. But meanwhile of course nobody mentions the genesis of this problem and they kind of, they almost suggest that well it's always been a problem. No. That's a great, that's a great. The reporting on this is unbelievable. All right. So there's my horrors report. That'd be it for the year. Unless it gets funnier. I brought an Amy Goodman clip. Oh no! I did, I did, I did. You're stepping on my stuff. Alright, go. What do you mean?

Austin Ice Storm and Infrastructure Failure

An ice storm in Austin, Texas, left over 150,000 residents without power, leading to a rare front-page editorial from the Austin American-Statesman. The failure is attributed to local city management and poor infrastructure maintenance rather than the statewide power grid.

austin· texas· ice storm· power outage· infrastructure

2:42:08 She's stepping on my state. Meanwhile in Texas, the Austin American-Statesman issued a rare front page editorial condemning officials for their response to last week's ice storm, which left over 150,000 Austin residents without power. Ten people were killed across the southern U.S. by the storm, seven of them in Texas. Some 460,000 people lost power. and there will be people out of power until Sunday which will make it a total of about 10 more months. It's still going on and I just want to say... that people, so the narrative, the meme is, meanwhile in Texas, Texas the grid sucks. Nope, nope, nope, nope, we didn't lose power. We're in the hill country, we didn't lose power. This is Austin's local city management. I used to live there for quite a long time, over a decade. How many times did I have to boil my water when I was in Austin? Five, six, seven times? Boil water for weeks on end.

2:43:07 They do not maintain their infrastructure. It is a typical, I just want to say it, Democrat run city. It's crap. And what they should do is they should ban loitering so at least they can get some hookers on the street. That would be an improvement over what- It would make it entertaining, yeah. It would make it much more entertaining. So I got a good Amy clip because you're talking about climate, which is what that clip was about. Correct. I went to play that she said I think she uses the word habitat instead of habitat. What's the name of the cliff? Habitat is called habitat. I got it, I got it. A sweeping new study by conservation research group NatureServe finds 40% of animals and 34% of plants in the US are at risk of extinction and 41% of ecosystems are facing collapse. Researchers say passing legislation to protect land and biodiversity is key. Yeah, there it is! Unless some of the greatest threats to wildlife has happened. Wow, she swallowed a frog.

2:44:10 Researchers say passing legislation to protect land and biodiversity is key, unless some of the greatest threats to wildlife as habitat degradation and land conversion. Habitat. Habitat. Well first she swallowed a frog. Then she said habitat. And then she said habitat. It is key, unless some of the greatest threats to wildlife as habitat degradation and land conversion. Hold on. I think we have a new term. That's right. Habitat, everybody. How's your habitat? Unless some of the greatest threats to wildlife as habitat degradation and land conversion, invasive species, damming and polluting of rivers, and climate change. Oh, can I stop it there?

Chinese Super Cows and Milk Production

Scientists in China have reportedly cloned "super cows" capable of producing 18 tons of milk per year. The project aims to reduce China's dependency on imported dairy cattle, though the welfare of the high-output animals is questioned.

2:45:00 Do we need to rest? Yes please. I just wanted to get the Habitat in there. I'm actually writing down the Habitat. I like that. As a title for the show? Yeah, possibly. Yeah, I got it too. Habitat for Humanity? I mean, you can just go on and on with this stuff. All right. Here's my little climate change clip. This is from WION, India's first news station. You may have heard of super soldiers, individuals capable of operating beyond normal human limits. You may have also heard of super computers, devices that can almost operate at the speed of light. But have you ever heard of super cows?

2:45:44 Bovines that can produce unusually high amounts of milk. If you haven't, then brace yourselves for what we're about to tell you. So I'll just stop there. They've created super cows that can produce 18 tons of milk per cow per year. Yeah, these cows. Yeah, I heard about this. That does not sound good. These poor cows, they're going to be milked all day and night. That's right. All right, two more. First, props to you. You nailed it. You called it. This is about Tyree Nichols.

CHAPTER 44 / 46 Discussion

Tyree Nichols Case and Personal Vendetta Theory

New details in the Tyree Nichols investigation suggest a personal connection between Nichols and the wife of one of the involved officers. Seven additional Memphis officers are under investigation as the narrative shifts from a random traffic stop to a potential targeted vendetta.

tyree nichols· memphis· police· investigation· vendetta

2:46:21 His parents were at the State of the Union. They had five cops initially, all African-American, all black. They found the ringleader, a white dude, a white non-binary dude. They've found five more. But wait, what did you say this was about? It's about Tyree having a affair with one of the cops wives. Police reform was one of the topics at the State of the Union and now seven more Memphis officers are being investigated for their possible role in the Tyree Nichols beating case. Six officers were already fired. One of those officers allegedly texted pictures of Nichols to at least five people including a female acquaintance.

2:47:08 Yeah, I think I heard that too. I think you nailed it. I think you nailed it. Yeah, the female Aquarius was the woman. This was a vendetta. This is some kind of payback and I think it's coming out. It's gonna have to come out because it's gonna come out in trial. So they're gonna have to put this there. They were already convicted of murder remember? Yeah murder. That's funny. I have a little very 12-second clip. Okay. It was a part of a bigger story presentation, but it was some as a local minister who I think put police reform in a nutshell

CHAPTER 45 / 46 Discussion

Traffic Stop Reform and Public Safety

Proposals to remove law enforcement from traffic stops and replace them with public health workers are discussed. Critics argue that reducing traffic enforcement leads to more dangerous driving conditions, as seen during the COVID-19 lockdowns.

traffic stops· police reform· mental health· california· public safety

2:47:45 says police restore in a nutshell. And I think there's a little tidbit in here which is another one of the things I'm predicting they're gonna start doing this especially in California and it's not gonna be for the better. We could redirect some of the responsibilities away from law enforcement and hire public health folks to deal with mental health crises. We don't have to have law enforcement responding to traffic stops. Oh no, no, yeah, yeah of course. No, this is uh, they're already doing this in Austin, of course. Yeah, so make it a running lights are gonna be doing they're gonna be driving like maniacs. Yep. Yep. We saw this already During the kovat era right at the beginning of Kovat when all the cops wouldn't pull anyone over because they just wouldn't do it. Yeah You could see it you try to run It's like driving you take your life in your hands getting on the freeway because of these maniacs decide to race on the freeway

2:48:41 And this is not going to end well to stop traffic stops. People take advantage of these things. They do. I'm glad you're in California to report on this. Stay safe, John. I'm going to go check out the whores. Coming up next on NoahJennerStream.com, if you're still in the troll room, it is the latest boardroom meeting from Podcasting 2.0. There you go, chop and drop.
