About this episode

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz met with President Joe Biden at the White House this week, sparking a media pivot regarding the Nord Stream pipeline sabotage. Reports from The New York Times and Die Zeit now attribute the undersea explosions to a pro-Ukrainian group operating from a yacht named the Andromeda, a narrative that contradicts previous claims of Russian self-sabotage. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has officially denied any involvement by Kyiv as NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg warns of the imminent fall of Bakhmut.

In Beijing, President Xi Jinping and Foreign Minister Qin Gang issued rare direct rebukes of the United States, accusing Washington of all-round containment and suppression. China announced a 7.2 percent increase in its military budget during the National People's Congress, while FBI Director Christopher Wray testified that TikTok remains a significant national security threat. Domestically, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell remains hospitalized with a concussion following a fall at the Waldorf Astoria, and New York City Mayor Eric Adams has proposed a reverse mask mandate to combat a surge in retail robberies.

A visit to Joe Rogan's new Comedy Mothership in Austin reveals a strict anti-woke environment where Alex Jones and Roseanne Barr are fixtures of the VIP balcony. Beyond the stage, the concept of Podspeeding Use Disorder is emerging as listeners report increased anxiety from consuming content at 1.5x speed. This episode features a deep dive into the Perth Mint gold doping scandal and the acquisition of Ozempic provider Sequence by Weight Watchers, signaling a new era of telehealth pharmaceutical distribution.

California Atmospheric River, Homelessness and Shanty Town Proposal

California faces an incoming atmospheric river predicted to drop four inches of rain, prompting a discussion on the recurring failure of homeless policies in the state. A proposal is made to designate land near airports for the development of shanty towns or favelas, allowing unhoused populations to build their own structures. The suggestion highlights the perceived futility of current government interventions in Northern Silicon Valley and Los Angeles.

00:00 And we used to edit with a razor blade. Adam Curry, John C. DeVora. It's Thursday, March 9th, 2023. This is your award-winning Kimmel Nation Media Assassination Episode 1536. This is no agenda. Saving or creating lives twice a week and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region Number 6. In the morning, everybody. I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley where the atmospheric river is back. I'm John C. Dvorak. Wait a minute, I didn't get any news reports about that. Are you drowning again over there? Supposedly this afternoon. Oh, so it hasn't happened yet? Supposedly this afternoon we're gonna get four inches. Wow, that's a lot for California. You know what you get? We don't get anything. It's always bullcrap. What do you mean? Well, how about LA?

00:59 It's always fun when they get four inches. Well, they yeah, it all washes out to see you know, they got that much they don't even bother with cisterns or Reservoirs or anything this hell in it. Yeah, did they bitch? Yeah I think it's time that we all decided that let's give up on this especially in California on this problem with the homeless and just give Develop some land and let the favelas, let the shantytowns crop up. Usually outside the airport's a good place for it. Wait, wait, wait, where's this coming from? How do we get from the atmospheric river to the homeless favelas? Because this river is gonna knock a lot of these homeless tents down. You're the worst! You're the worst! How am I the worst? You want people who are

Joe Rogan Comedy Mothership, Austin Dirty 6th Street Experience

A visit to Joe Rogan's new club, the Comedy Mothership, on East 6th Street in Austin, Texas, reveals a high-end VIP experience involving personal hospitality from Rogan himself. The venue, located in the old Ritz Theater, features "Mitzi's Bar" in honor of Mitzi Shore and employs staff brought in from the Los Angeles Comedy Store. Observations include the presence of Alex Jones in the balcony and the club's strict anti-woke comedy atmosphere and "no cell phone" policy.

01:49 unhoused to drown and be washed out to sea. No I don't want him to that's what I'm saying that's why we have to give him some land. Create a shanty town, usually outside the airport's a good place, because nobody ever wants to be in the, you know, where the airport is. So give, you know, surround the airport with shanty towns in California. Let them build their own thing. They're very, a lot of them are architects out of business, you know, unemployed architects, they can help. I'm sure they are. Speaking of homeless. Tina and I went to Austin last night to East 6th Street, also known as Dirty 6, and we're stepping over homeless people on a two-block walk from the parking garage to Joe Rogan's Comedy Mothership, his new club that he just opened.

02:42 Did you get comped? Oh, did I get comped? Oh my goodness. We, I mean, there's one thing I know about Joe Rogan. He likes hospitality. Yeah, well, you got a bottle of champagne then. No, no, hold on a second. We got immediately picked up at the minute we showed up at the door, you know, people ushering us in, taking, and I knew a number of the people who worked there because it's like his bodyguard team or whatever. No, I mean really VIP all the way special VIP balcony free drinks with someone who would come and serve us the whole time so we weren't just sitting in the club no we were we were VIP at the top so it's more than just... So you weren't mingling with the peasants? No, no, no, no, no. In fact there are two balconies and I look over to the right and guess who's sitting over there with his wife? You'll never guess.

03:35 But give it a shot. Abbott. No, Alex Jones. Oh, that's cool. Yeah, so we went over, we went over, we said hi to him. He's like, hey man, hey, don't believe half of the shit you hear is bullshit, it's not true. I said, Alex, dude, it's me, it's okay, all right? I know about this. Yeah, but talk a lot of shit about me. When you coming back on? Did Rogan do a set? Yes he did. He closed out the whole night. We didn't get home until well after one o'clock. because Joe probably went until 11, 15 and then right away he would be like, okay we'll leave. We walk off the balcony, he's right there, hey come on let's go sit down in the green room and then they have another special bar inside this place which is called Mitzi's Bar which is named after

04:31 Mitzi from the comedy store. In fact, I think most of the staff he took from Los Angeles brought them in, the comedy store staff. So these people know how to run a comedy club. And it was packed, 250 people I think. It's in the old Ritz theater. I was very impressed. Looks amazing inside. And they woke comedy. Anti-woke comedy, all of it. It was kind of interesting a little bit down the middle, but if you just wanted to feel like anybody woke or not woke could sit in that audience, because there's no cell phones, they lock up your cell phones.

Roseanne Barr Encounter, Alex Jones and Handshake Etiquette

An encounter with Roseanne Barr at the Comedy Mothership in Austin leads to confusion regarding her residency in Fredericksburg, Texas, as previously claimed by Alex Jones. Barr's physical stature and unique "wrist-shaking" greeting style are noted, with speculation that she may suffer from a painful palm ailment common among politicians. A comparison is drawn between Barr's distinctive laugh during the comedy sets and a past experience with a boisterous Liza Minnelli on the Concorde.

05:14 you know, you can't be recording anything, can't get anything out there. By the way, so we're talking to Alex Jones, he's like, oh yeah man, it's great. Roseanne was here last night and I had her on the show this afternoon, she's great. She lives out there in Fredericksburg near you and she loves you, she's a big fan, big fan. I'm like what? Roseanne Barr is a big fan and lives in Fredericksburg? He's like yeah. I'm like, well that's interesting. Yeah, considering we've never seen a donation from her. Well, here's what happened next. So before the show, before everything starts, we're chatting with Joe. He's giving us a little tour. And I guess Roseanne had performed last night, which was really the first night, but it was kind of like a soft launch to get everything, you know, figure out how everything works and the staff to get used to stuff.

05:58 And so she performed and so we're talking and she shuffles up to him. By the way, Roseanne Barr is tiny. Have you ever met her? Can't say that I have, no. I would say she's not even five feet, which it was really weird. You know, you see Roseanne, you just think, no, she's like 5'11". You know, I don't know. It was very surprising. And so she's like, and she's talking to Joe. And she's, oh Joe said this is Adam Curry and Tina Curry and she turns to me has no idea who I am. So much for being a big fan. But here's the embarrassing moment. So I reach out to shake her hand and she it's like you know like you like you misgrasp and she's like shaking my my wrist and I like try to pull back to shake her hand. She's no no this is how I shake hands. So she shakes wrists.

06:56 It was embarrassing, kind of. She may have had that, an ailment I once had, which is a handshake. Politicians pick it up. It's a tendonitis in the very bottom of your palm. Extremely painful. Oh, okay. Because all I could think of was, wow. I mean, that's not uncommon to catch, especially if you I don't know. I got it when I was an air pollution inspector was shaking too many hands I guess and taking bribes Shaking hands is different than taking bribes. Okay, I use the other hand for that Once you pick this little ailment up it is a

07:39 Ridiculously painful. It takes about six months to get rid of it. Well, anyway, I thought it was like, oh, like a Howie Mandel thing. All right. So anyway, so then she did not perform. And I like I look at Tina like she had no idea who I am. She's no fan. I don't even know if she lives out here in Fredericksburg. Now I have to doubt everything. So who was it that gave you the bum steer? Alex, Alex Jones. He had her on the show. Don't believe everything you say. So then we're sitting there and you know, we got a little table there and it's a fantastic view and behind me all I hear is, HA! Who was that? Oh man. Who was who? No, I'm asking you who do you think that was? Man, you're being just... you need to... Okay, back in the day when we used to start the show you would take the damn thing off the hook. Now... I usually do. Now, that happened last show too. And I think what's happening... No, it never happens on Sunday. Seeing as it's a Thursday.

08:47 It happened on the last show. It did, it happened on the last show. It happened maybe on the last Thursday show. So let's get back to the story that phones stopped ringing. So behind me the whole evening while people are on stage, you hear, heh! Heh heh! How many layers, wait, wait, how many layers deep is the balcony? Two. I mean, yeah, it's like we're in the front and the person may even have been standing, I don't know if the person had a had a seat because I didn't want to look around like and it was it would be completely quiet in the club and the comedian saying something and then you would say Tina can do it better than I can the dick Cheney. No, it was Roseanne Barr the whole time. She's funny The most annoying chuckle you've ever heard Truly truly insane and yeah, she does the same Chuckle on her show. I

09:44 Yeah, but I've never, I've never, it was jarring kind of, you know, just like, it was one of those, if I was in a movie theater I would have turned around said, could you shut up? But I knew that it was going to be someone of some standing, but I, it was all, it was as annoying to me as when I flew on the... The phone ringing. Well no, not quite. When I flew on the Concorde, Here we go. Back in the good old days when there was Concord to be handed out and it was the first time I flew on Concord and I was from London to New York City and Liza Minnelli was behind me drunk. Oh God. Yeah. Yeah. But I repeat myself.

CHAPTER 04 / 42 Discussion

Vasectomy Face Controversy, Podcasting Side Effects

Recent discussions regarding "vasectomy face" have triggered sensitive reactions from the audience, including a periodontist who felt targeted by the show's commentary. Despite the topic being a long-standing theme of the program, the hosts observe a shift in audience temperament potentially linked to post-COVID irritability. The segment concludes with a decision to move away from the subject due to the volume of negative feedback.

vasectomy· podspeeding· medical humor· listener feedback· covid-19

10:33 I'm sorry to say but if you want me to prove it to you, literally I have the transcript here. The phone rang on Sunday just so you know. On Sunday? Yeah, on the last show 1535. I don't remember it ringing on Sunday. And we even talked about the robot voice and the police benevolent society. Yeah, I know about talking about that. Well, it didn't come out of the blue. It's okay. I just know it came out of the our typical AI conversation All right fine. It's a transcript at the phone ring. Yeah, and we're talking about the phone I just clicked it away trust me trust me no Well trust me on this I'm we have to stop the vasectomy talk I'm getting I'm getting too much grief and

11:28 Oh, you know, I was gonna maybe bring it up, which is yeah, I'm sorry that I don't find I don't think it's a negative thing necessarily. Oh, people are like, hey, man, hey, man, pump the brakes on the on the vasectomy talk. Okay. Even my periodontist. I think probably half of our audience has had a vasectomy. I think so, too. I think so. It's really bizarre. What did Mitch my periodontist say? He said, I'm just listening to the show. It's great. I don't appreciate you making fun of my vasectomy face. I'm like, oh. I guess the art didn't help. So no, no. So I sent him a lot of scissor emojis.

12:11 He says, by the way, it helps accentuate my soft skin and plump body. So he at least got the joke. But yeah, I am surprised. I think during COVID, you know, people, it has something to do with COVID because we've been talking about vasectomy face for years and years and years. And now all of a sudden, people are all pissed off about it. So I think that's interesting. You're right. We have been talking about this probably since the inception of the show. Maybe even. Yeah, maybe, maybe. So why now? Well, I don't think the art helped. Thank you, Roger. I don't think the art helped. I think the art was dynamite. It was absolutely my favorite. I loved it. I loved it. It was so good. But, uh... Oh, man. Yeah, people are getting sensitive. I wonder what... There's some element. There's something happening. Yes. Okay, onward with the show.

Nord Stream Pipeline Sabotage, German Chancellor Scholz Washington Visit

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz conducted a brief, one-hour meeting with President Joe Biden in Washington D.C., leading to speculation about high-level coordination regarding the Nord Stream pipeline investigation. Following the meeting, reports from The New York Times and Die Zeit suggested a pro-Ukrainian group was responsible for the September sabotage, contradicting Seymour Hersh's earlier reporting. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has officially denied any involvement by Kyiv in the destruction of the undersea conduits.

nord stream· volodymyr zelensky· olaf scholz· seymour hersh· die zeit· baltic sea

13:05 No, this is all part of the show. All right, well let's talk about how right I am. How about that? Shall we do that? I like talking about that. Well, that's what you want to talk about, but no, let's talk about Ukraine. Okay. Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelensky has denied that Kiev was involved in the destruction of the Nord Stream gas pipelines. The undersea pipelines which brought Russian natural gas to Germany were blown up last September. US and German media citing US intelligence have reported a pro-Ukrainian group may have carried out the attack. The Kremlin meanwhile has dismissed the allegations as a quote attempt to rig the news. So this was a very interesting little thing that came out this new article in the Times and Desite simultaneously saying that oh no no no no oh no no pay no attention to anything we've said previously and certainly pay no attention to Seymour Hersh. No this was you know a group that falsely rented a yacht with false passports and they blew it up.

14:05 Well, luckily, French 24 actually had the guy who did the original reporting on their debate show. I took three clips off it. He went on for an hour. Good. But the guy, you know, the Washington, the New York Times took some credit and the Washington, no, they all stole the stuff from this guy. Okay. So, and again, so the reporting all came out of Germany. Yes. And here we can, this is the best rundown. This is three clips from France 24 and one of the specials that had this guy and four other people that were on to do, to kind of counter his, whatever he had to say, including an American woman from the Marshall Fund.

14:48 Who just went on about how Russia really did it and it's all bullcrap. Of course. So who's the pipeline one? So, who did sabotage the Nord Stream pipelines? Without much proof to go on, pundits could only root for the version that suits their cause. Now, though, German investigators reveal they have found traces of explosives aboard a yacht that may have carried the charge that last September knocked out the undersea conduit that supplies Russian gas to Europe via the Baltic Sea. It's an active investigation. Berlin warns not to jump to hasty conclusions. We'll go over the facts and possible motives to once and for all, who once and for all severed Europe's dependency on the Kremlin for its energy? Was it a false flag operation by Moscow to show strength in spite for the suspension of those gas imports?

15:39 What about the recent claim by veteran American journalist Seymour Hersh that gas producers Norway and the US somehow colluded? And now come these latest revelations. According to German reports, the yacht had been rented from a company based in Poland that is apparently owned by two Ukrainians. We say apparently. Keeve staunchly denies any part. More broadly, with winter nearly over, we'll ask How Europe's fared without that Russian gas and what life is like without that link to Moscow. Today in the France 24 debate, what to make of the Nord Stream sabotage revelations. With us from Berlin is one of the reporters who penned that investigative piece for German public broadcasting and the newspaper Die Zeit, Georg Heil, investigative reporter for television station WDR. Thank you for being with us. Now we need to play some backdrop here about the visit that

16:31 the German president made to Washington. Yes, four days before this came out, the German, this is funny, German Chancellor Scholz I see nothing! Schultz... No one under 40, maybe even 50, understands that joke. I'll bet you half the audience does. Yeah, well I guess we're all old then. Hello. No, I think that's right. They're playing the Hogan's Heroes daily on me TV over the air and it's been going on for years now. If you if you have if you're watching Hogan's Heroes on me TV over the air, please go throttle yourself. There's got to be one person who does that besides you. It's terrific show. Anyway, yeah, sure.

17:30 It's a fantastic, you know, if you look at it, you'd think it was just produced yesterday. It's one of the most advanced shows for something from 1966. It's got widescreen. It's got not 16 by nine, but it's about, I think, 14 by nine. It's definitely wider than normal four by three. It's highly produced. It's unbelievable how good that show is. Anyway, you could have just let that slide, you know. So, Shultz flies from Berlin to Washington DC for one lone hour, well actually a little over an hour, to meet with Biden and then he jumps in a plane and flies all the way back to Berlin. That's a miserable flight.

18:16 And well if you see your own plane, it's a little better than yes fine But it's like you know there's other things you can do with your life than fly back and forth from Berlin to Washington DC for one hour meeting and What and so what what does this meeting tell us? Well the meeting tells us like there's some coordination and they were afraid I guess they're all afraid that everything is bugged and we have no security. You have to do it in person if you want to communicate something really secret. I think that's the, even though nobody talks about that, I think that's the point of condemnation for the security state. You can't even make a communication securely without having to meet in person and whisper in each other's ear. That's pathetic.

19:09 Well, as we recall the last time there was some conversation regarding Ukraine it was Victoria Nuland and that whole call got recorded in outstanding quality. That's her famous F the EU comment as they're preparing to determine who goes into the Ukrainian government in 2014. So they're probably a bit wary about it now, but yeah, I would be yeah And I you know did they have that in the oval is that where they met yeah, that's what they say Okay, I think that thing is bugged too without without any assistance or anybody taking notes or which again should be grounds for impeachment the way things have been going But so there's nobody in the room except the two of them, and I don't know that I guess she'll speaks English So I guess I could have a conversation

CHAPTER 06 / 42 Discussion

German Investigation Details, Yacht Andromeda and Forensic Evidence

German investigators identified a yacht, reportedly named the Andromeda, which was rented by a Polish-based company owned by two Ukrainians to facilitate the Nord Stream attack. The team allegedly consisted of six individuals, including two divers and a female medic, who used professionally forged passports to depart from Rostock. Forensic teams reportedly found traces of explosives on a table inside the vessel in January 2023, though skeptics question the convenience of such evidence being left behind by professionals.

rostock· yacht andromeda· c4 explosives· baltic sea· polish company· forged passports

20:01 Because I know Biden doesn't speak Deutsch. Biden doesn't speak English either. What are you talking about? Yeah, he doesn't speak English. Anyway, so we go back to this. That was the rundown, the kind of the... Precursor to what they're gonna be discussing this go to clip two and we got the reporter on telling you what he knows It's a yacht rented under a phony identity that set sail and returned to the German port of Rostock But they didn't give the boat a good scrubbing it seems with investigators Georg Heil finding traces of of explosives? What more do we know? Yeah, the yacht that was apparently involved or according to the investigators is allegedly involved in this attack was rented out from a German company. The German company offered the yacht and it was rented apparently by a Polish based company as you said. Can we put enough apparently's and supposedly's and all of this stuff in? This is completely filled with

21:02 you know, without evidence type talk. Yeah. From a German company, the German company offered the yacht and it was rented apparently by a Polish based company as you said, run by two Ukrainian nationals. The yacht supposedly left the city of Rostock on the Baltic shore on September 6th and Then it was spotted in another German coast village called Wieg. One day after that, later on, there was another localization possible exposed close to the Danish island of Christiansø just off northeast of Bornholm, just on the very spot where one of the North Stream pipelines runs. And then later on, this yacht supposedly was returned uncleaned.

21:52 to the German company and it was as late as January of this year that German investigators identified the yacht and searched it. It was searched on January 18th to 20th, so two days, and they apparently found forensic evidence on the table of that yacht and today as you said it was officially confirmed what we have been reporting Oh, was it C4? Because I'm sure they got that with their fake passports too, right? They never said the number of things are left out and I listened to this thing went on for an hour. The kind of yacht, the size of the yacht, you know, these types. We don't have the foot length of the yacht. That would be nice, but it can hold six. So we have to assume is, and you know, it's all the gear for this divers. Uh, we don't understand where they could, how they got down and up without having to spend a lot of time there because it takes forever to get back up after you dive that deep 80 meters.

22:52 and don't know the paten- That's not for the inexperienced diver. No, but these people weren't slouches. I mean, their passports are supposed to be top grade, which makes it sound like our agency did this, which is always possible. They don't know the pass—they won't—the police have not revealed the identity, the citizenship of any of these passports or what they claim to be, so they don't know. They will say it's not Ukrainian, not American, and not Russian. So it could be German? I think the Germans also eliminated. Then it would be Swedish, Danish? It could be anything. It could be Chinese. And we don't have a... I mean, the thing that they do... It's pretty easy to go back and see what, you know, there's all kinds of radar information, which is how we know about the P-8 that supposedly, according to Hirsch, dropped the detonator buoy into the water. You know, all these boats have

23:53 Identifiers that ping regularly you can't just be in those waters without being without pinging like your ADS or what I'm not sure what in in airplanes It's a DSB, but it's similar you you can you know every ship has to have some kind of beacon so they turn that off really They didn't say a lot of holes in the story. There's a lot of holes in the story and I'm trying to think of some more holes that they revealed they revealed most of the holes and These holes can't be plugged they police just aren't gonna give that information out according to this guy But I want to know the forensic evidence of this because we were told it was c4 explosives. Oh

24:32 So, what, were they just leaving it, laying around, like, and left a little bit on the table? I mean, this sounds so wrong. I think C4 can be identified just in microscopic amounts. Yeah. I mean, you're not buying into this bullcrap, are you? I'm not buying into anything. I mean, I'm not buying into Seymour Hersh's story either. I'm not buying into any of it. I think the whole thing is we're just being played. But it depends on how I'm gonna do the best job of it And it's interesting to watch this a good one is unfolds because this would would help us get out of this stupid war I agree into it hmm so just just because we had a previous theory we talked about that Seymour Hirsch was fed this entire story On purpose to elicit a response from Russia, which of course did not happen So this could be

25:29 a total pullback for some reason. I might have some ideas on that. Or it could be a whole competing information source inside the US and German government that just threw this out to get everyone off track altogether. I mean, with something's fishy with this appearance of Schultz, I know nothing in Washington DC for one lone hour. I mean, this means that this is being coordinated by somebody. So let's go to clip three. There's more in your reporting. Five men, one woman in this team with two divers, a minivan, a doctor. Can you tell us more about that? So according to German police investigation, a white van was used to bring equipment to the to the yacht in Rostock. We don't know. Hold on a second. If this if it's fake passports,

26:27 How do they know that it was all these different, like a doctor and, how did they know that? Did it say that on the passport? Like diver, doctor, woman. Well, woman would be on there. Good point. I mean, how do they know? That specifically was not addressed. There's more in your reporting. Five men, one woman in this team with two divers, a minivan, a doctor. Can you tell us more about that? So according to German police investigation, a white van was used to bring equipment to the to the yacht in Rostock.

27:04 We don't know how they found out about that then, but apparently this is what they believe how it happens. I just report what they tell me. And the theories that the team consisted of six people, as you said, two divers, two assistants. You need a captain for the boat and a medic. And German investigators believe that the woman on the team, that she was the medic. She was described to us as a very tiny person and the working theory of German police is that this woman was the medic. Was it Roseanne Barr maybe?

27:40 It is a very dangerous task to go down the Baltic Sea 80 meters, even if you're a professionally experienced diver or even a special forces military diver. So you would want to have a medic. That makes sense, this theory. But still, I think it's also very important to add what we don't know. We don't know the official identity, the real identity of those six persons. Neither do we know the nationality or whom ordered them to commit this attack. But there was a trace, found another trace. They left a paper trail. Two documents were used, two very highly professional forged documents, apparently passports. That means that German authorities at least possessed pictures of two of this team out of six persons.

28:30 Oh man, this is... So this could also just purely be a hit job on the Germans. I mean this whole thing is nuts. It's nuts! It's just, yeah, I think you could probably make that assumption. Anyway, there's a few other details. I didn't want to keep recording these little clips because it was like at some point, and then the other people that were up there, a couple of them, especially this one cynical guy, British, I think it was him, who says, It's so convenient that they found traces of this explosive. These professionals with these great, you know, unbelievably great forged documents that could sneak in and out. Nobody knows who the hell they are, but they can't clean up the boat.

CHAPTER 07 / 42 Discussion

Ukraine War Fatigue, Battle for Bakhmut and Victory Concerts

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg warned that the city of Bakhmut may fall to Russian forces in the coming days as the Wagner Group advances. Amidst the military pressure, plans for a "Live Aid" style concert for Ukraine at Wembley Stadium in June featuring the Rolling Stones and Bono suggest a potential pivot toward declaring a symbolic victory. There is growing sentiment that the Donbas region may ultimately remain under Russian control as a buffer zone.

bakhmut· jens stoltenberg· wagner group· wembley stadium· bono· rolling stones

29:17 kind of commentary was very, you know, you've been good on this panel, by the way. And so there's a lot of skepticism on the panel discussing this and it seems, there was brought out one interesting point to us that it seems as if the Americans and some of the European partners are a little irked with Ukraine anyway after they pulled some stunts. One, blowing up the bridge to Crimea. That was number one that wasn't approved by anybody. Second one, sending some missiles deep into Russia and blowing up or hitting an airport.

29:56 And there's a number of little things that are getting on everyone's nerves. And I think, you know, I gave you credit, I said you won because I still think this is part of an elaborate scheme to get us out. No, I agree with you. And I think I can back that up. There's a couple other things going on at this very moment and one that ruins the whole idea. I'll give you that first. Because I think this could end very quickly, I've been saying that for a while. But I think within a month or so, the only thing that all of a sudden goes against that is a Live Aid style gig for Ukraine at Wembley Stadium set for end of June.

30:41 With of course, you know, some of your favorites Bono, Stink, The Stones, The Killers, who else is gonna be there? The Stones? Yep, Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, Adele, your favorite, Florence and the Machine, Noel Gallagher. Brother. Yeah, so that's set for June 24th. So, you know, I'm not quite sure. We could turn it into a victory because whatever happens, just like Afghanistan, just like Iraq, you know, we'll just declare victory. It doesn't matter. But The stage is set with the reporting for exactly what I thought might happen is this whole eastern border, this whole Donbass region, that should just become Russia. That's all Russia ever really wanted, I think, is to have that buffer, people there who want to be

31:35 part of Russia anyway, and this is what the whole Bokhmuth thing is. After some intense fighting, the battle for Bokhmuth may be nearing its endgame. NATO chief says the eastern Ukrainian city could fall to Russia in a matter of days now. Gents, Stoltenberg's remarks come as Russia's Wagner mercenary group claims to have captured the eastern bank of the industrial town. We cannot rule out that Bakhmut may eventually fall in the coming days. Therefore, it is also important to highlight that this does not necessarily reflect any turning point of the war and it just highlights that we should not underestimate Russia.

32:32 Now that's the that's the big warmonger, Jens Stoltenberg, and he is now signaling well, you know, it looks like it's a I don't know. It looks like they just might grab that. By the way, I see trolls who clearly are MK-altered saying, oh you think Putin's gonna stop at that? Yeah, I actually do. I actually do think he's gonna stop at that. And they have a pretty big stick. Why do people come up with this stuff? They're clearly not listening to our show. They haven't really observed anything. They just thought this is some sort of... Mind control. It's mind control. Yeah, by the mainstream media. And very effective mind control because you know babies, women, horrible death, destruction, Russia, bad. And we've lost many listeners. Incubators. We've lost many listeners over this who just say, I can't listen to you anymore. You don't understand how dangerous Putin is. Dude, Putin has shown nothing but great restraint certainly over this particular case which you know this is their export. It got blown up.

CHAPTER 08 / 42 Discussion

Black Sea Grain Initiative, EU Joint Ammunition Procurement

UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres and President Zelensky are pushing for the extension of the Black Sea Grain Initiative before its March 18th expiration. Simultaneously, EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell proposed a 1-billion-euro plan for joint ammunition purchasing to replenish Ukrainian stockpiles of 155mm shells. This move signals the European Union's transition into a military procurement entity, utilizing frameworks established during the COVID-19 vaccine rollout.

antonio guterres· black sea grain initiative· josep borrell· ursula von der leyen· nato ammo

33:37 And so now there's something that's coming to an end. this month that may be the catalyst to pull this all together. UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres and Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky have called for the extension of a crucial deal with Moscow that allows Ukrainian grain exports. Speaking after talks in Kiev, Zelensky stressed that the Black Sea Grain Initiative was vital for the world. Guterres agreed, saying the agreement was essential to global food security. The deal allows Ukraine to ship grain from its Black Sea ports and Russia to export fertilizer and food. It's set to expire on March 18th and Moscow has signaled that it might not let the deal continue. So we're already in negotiations, you know, there's already talks on the table. Just add all the, okay, look, you get the Donbass, you get that region, we open that up for grain, we won!

34:32 There's something else that was pointed out in this debate with on French 24 One of the guys said why would Ukraine do any of this to that? Pipeline when they could just blow up the pipeline that pipeline that's going through Ukraine is still going through Ukraine from Russia And it's still operating as far as I know still operating and it's still pumping product. Yeah. Yeah. Why don't you just blow that up? Well, the reason why is they're out of ammo. And Ukraine's defense minister has said the EU's plan to supply Kiev with 1 billion euros worth of ammunition was not enough.

35:08 Alexei Reznikov says Ukraine needs four times that amount. The EU defence ministers are meeting in Stockholm to try and hammer out a deal that would see the bloc launch a massive joint munitions buying effort. Western howitzers on the battlefield, an essential tool in a war that for the moment has settled into an artillery duel between Ukraine and Russia. With Ukrainian forces using up to 7,000 artillery rounds daily, sending ammunition, especially the 155mm NATO standard shells, has become a top priority for Kiev's allies. And a big problem, says defence expert Bruno Letta. Not only is Ukraine running low on this, also European nations are running out of stockpiles.

35:52 our own reserves are running low. So this is a big problem of course because we would not be able to deliver. To ramp up supplies EU's chief diplomat Josep Borrell has put forward a three-track plan proposing an additional 1 billion euros to buy ammunition, joint purchasing of ammunition by member states and increasing production in the long term. I think it's a very big deal. I mean, look, the European Union is an institute created for peaceful goals. So we now see that the European Union is moving into the military sphere. And this is the first time in history. It's pretty unique, actually. The idea is to apply a mechanism similar to the one used during the COVID-19 pandemic, when the European Commission negotiated contracts and acquired vaccines on behalf of member states.

36:42 Now the European Defense Agency could sign arms contracts on behalf of its members. So we're achieving a lot even though I mean we I'll say the European Union is achieving a lot of things. So they put in place a mechanism where Queen Ursula herself ordered through text messages negotiated the deal with Pfizer. for the vaccines. Now that framework, as they say, is in place for her to order any type of ammo as long as it's a standard NATO ammo. So we've got that in place. Well, this is good.

CHAPTER 09 / 42 Discussion

Ursula von der Leyen Canada Visit, Russian Gas Claims

During an interview with the CBC in Canada, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen claimed that Russia cut 80% of pipeline gas to Europe. This statement is scrutinized as a potential misrepresentation of the timeline regarding the Nord Stream sabotage and subsequent energy shifts. The discussion highlights Canada's role in indirectly supporting Europe through increased LNG production during the global energy squeeze.

ursula von der leyen· canada· cbc· natural gas· lng· energy crisis

37:18 And now I'd say that they have already achieved the deal, it's time to let a little pressure off to go into the full-on climate change initiatives that they've been teeing up. And she actually lied, she lied like a mofo when she was in Canada. CBC did an exclusive interview. Listen to what she says about the Russian gas. When Europe needed natural gas though, Canada wasn't able to directly meet the demand because of a lack of capacity and infrastructure here in particular on the East Coast. And Canada's critics internally have said our climate policies and our review process

37:55 left us unable to meet Europe's needs. What's your sense on that? Canada helped indirectly because Canada stepped up its production overall and we had a situation when Russia cut the pipeline gas to Europe. 80% of the pipeline gas they had sent to Europe. Excuse me? At what point did Russia cut the pipeline, 80% of the pipeline gas to Europe? Am I missing something here? When did that happen? Is she referring to blowing up the pipes? No, no. When did... they didn't turn it off. Well, if they had turned it off then when they blew up the pipes you wouldn't have had all that gas escape. Well, that was methane, they say. That's what the gas is. Well, that was from number two. But my point is, when, whenever, when did Russia turn... that's a lie. I don't think they ever did that. You know, I get the sense that it came up in the conversation though.

38:56 Keep keep rolling. I'll look at my look at yeah, please do we had a situation when Russia cut the pipeline gas to Europe the pipeline gas he says it ate 80% of the pipeline gas they had sent to Europe and The overall energy supply on the global market was very tight and here Canada helped indirectly by stepping up increasing the LNG production this freed more resources in different regions of the world and gave us the opportunity to buy LNG on the global market so to help us in a very critical stage By the way, the troll room correctly recognizes my statement is true methane gas comes from number two very funny trolls

39:38 It was not intended. You find anything? Yeah, there was some Russia ready to resume gas supplies to Europe. This is in December of last year, so they had cut it off. Okay. Well, to continue... What I think the choice the EU may be making is, okay, now we're good to go. We hated gas anyway. Russia cut it off. They're mothballing, you read this term everywhere, they're mothballing the gas pipelines.

40:18 indicating that they will never come back again. And this means it's time for green hydrogen. Right, they helped you indirectly, but it wouldn't be preferable, I wonder. You talk about Canada being a natural partner for all the reasons you outlined, but to have direct shipments of Canadian liquid natural gas going to Europe, would that not be a preferred outcome? That would be interesting, but it has to be a business case. So it's the companies who have to decide on that one. What is more important is is import a lot of hydrogen and here a natural partner again is Canada. So we are working now on a memorandum of understanding with the Canadian government specifically for hydrogen because this is the mid and long term partnership and relationship we want to build. I'm glad you asked that question.

CHAPTER 10 / 42 Discussion

Green Hydrogen Initiatives, African Energy Deposits

The European Union is pivoting toward hydrogen as a long-term energy solution, signing a $24 billion deal with the UAE and Egypt to build a facility in Mauritania. While "green hydrogen" is promoted, critics argue the process is inefficient compared to direct nuclear power. Reports of "gold hydrogen" deposits in the Earth's crust across Africa, specifically in Senegal and Niger, are driving new geopolitical interest in the continent.

39:38 It was not intended. You find anything? Yeah, there was some Russia ready to resume gas supplies to Europe. This is in December of last year, so they had cut it off. Okay. Well, to continue... What I think the choice the EU may be making is, okay, now we're good to go. We hated gas anyway. Russia cut it off. They're mothballing, you read this term everywhere, they're mothballing the gas pipelines.

40:18 indicating that they will never come back again. And this means it's time for green hydrogen. Right, they helped you indirectly, but it wouldn't be preferable, I wonder. You talk about Canada being a natural partner for all the reasons you outlined, but to have direct shipments of Canadian liquid natural gas going to Europe, would that not be a preferred outcome? That would be interesting, but it has to be a business case. So it's the companies who have to decide on that one. What is more important is is import a lot of hydrogen and here a natural partner again is Canada. So we are working now on a memorandum of understanding with the Canadian government specifically for hydrogen because this is the mid and long term partnership and relationship we want to build. I'm glad you asked that question.

41:20 What I'm learning now, and I'm not sure if Canada is a part of this, but I'm learning that hydrogen, there appear to be large deposits of hydrogen in different parts of the earth which could be extracted and can be shipped off somehow. I'm not familiar with the mechanism. without going through the whole green hydrolysis process. And Canada in this case has a lot of natural gas, so they could be creating what they call blue hydrogen with the natural gas. It's the stupidest thing in the world. But with their gas, so they keep their gas in Canada, use that for electrolysis and then capture the hydrogen and then ship it off to Europe.

42:08 And this is also happening in Africa, which kind of explains what's happening. This is a short report. The future of European energy could rely on Africa. With lots of sunshine and wind, much of the continent is ideal for generating clean electricity or for using it to create another clean fuel, hydrogen. Now the United Arab Emirates, Egypt and Germany have struck a 24 billion dollar deal in Mauritania where they'll build a hydrogen facility near the capital Nouakchott. It has a planned capacity of 10 gigawatts. That's the output of roughly five to six standard nuclear power plants. The first phase of the project is set to be completed by 2028. So what we're hearing is it's all going to be... That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard in my life.

42:56 If you could get that much energy from five nuclear plants, just use that energy. I hear you, but you know that's not... It's green. They're not gonna do that. We all know this. So instead of using the energy from the nukes, you use the energy from the nukes to make hydrogen, in other words, an inefficient process by comparison. Yes. and then ship the hydrogen off and then the stuff is a piece of shit anyway because it leeches through everything. It's a horrible product. I've said this before. And okay, now we've just gotten to comedic. Well, here's the kicker. New Scientist magazine. Gold hydrogen. There appears to be a huge reserve of clean fuel in the Earth's crust. One of the main places this is, Mauritania.

43:47 followed by Senegal, Niger, Guinea-Bissau and Diallo. This is why everyone's in Africa. They're all going there. It's like, oh, okay, we'll just throw some bull crap solar panels up. We're really gonna grab this hydrogen, ship that back somehow, because that's... September 1st, 2022, we first saw the switch from the Green New Deal to the new hydrogen deal. Obviously it's stupid. It makes no sense. They should of course they should just do nuclear. But I guess you don't have enough control over the masses if you can't you know go to war and shoot and break people's pipelines and it's insane obviously but it's happening.

CHAPTER 11 / 42 Discussion

British Defense Committee, Zero Point Energy and Bacteria

Tobias Ellwood of the British Parliament Defense Committee has called for the UK to move to a "war footing" and face Russia directly, suggesting a lack of alignment with broader EU de-escalation trends. Meanwhile, Australian researchers at Monash University claim to have discovered an enzyme called "HOO" in soil bacteria that can convert atmospheric hydrogen into electricity. This discovery is met with skepticism, being compared to "zero point energy" tropes.

tobias ellwood· monash university· enzyme hoo· zero point energy· hydrogen bacteria

44:33 They're really going... well except the UK. The UK hasn't figured out that this war has to end and we've got all the hydrogen we want and the UK of course is no longer a part of the EU. So they're not even getting briefed. This is Tobias Elwood, he's the... what is this guy? He's the head of... Head of the British Parliament Defense Committee. We are now at war in Europe. We need to move to a war footing. We are involved in that. We've mobilized our procurement processes. We're gifting equipment. We need to face Russia directly and reckon that rather than leaving Ukraine to do all the work. He wants to send troops to Ukraine to go fight Russia. So they're not read in, clearly.

45:16 But I think this is all... Well, he's not for sure. Well, he's representing the Defense Committee, so the whole Defense Committee is not. This is some kind of big move. Australia's trying to get on it and this is a crazy... You want to hear a crazy report when it comes to hydrogen? Listen to this. Australian scientists are spearheading a new way of producing energy. Researchers at Monash University have discovered bacteria found in soil can convert hydrogen in the air into electricity. The enzyme called HOO could unlock an unlimited source of energy as Australia looks to be a global hydrogen leader by the end of the decade. So, HOO. I don't know what this HOO is.

46:00 The enzyme called who? Who? Have you ever heard of anything? Yeah, I saw this report too. This is bullcrap. What is who? I don't know. Well, it's an enzyme. The enzyme named who? It's obviously Chinese. Hmm. Oh, it could be. But they have it in Australia. Anyway. This is... Yeah, these ideas. There was one that came up the other day. It's like some other bacteria or something it could take. Yeah, this is the one that can take hydrogen, the current hydrogen in the atmosphere, which is 0.0000 whatever, and turn it into free electricity. I love that. Zero point energy. So yeah, you would just perfectly wrap your alley. Zero point energy, everybody. We got it.

46:54 How about this? The whole idea is just, I think we discussed it before, the solar panels, the windmills, it's old, we're tired of it, 20 years, you know, it's not working, it's not profitable. The first time we had this first round about this in the 70s. Okay, but we're talking today's voters, not the people who are half dead like you and me. You mean the people that know what I see nothing means. Wow, man. It wasn't funny the first time. I mean, three times and now you're really overdoing it. And you're not gonna... The Germans are gonna get mad. Germans, they love that guy. Anyway, go on. They hate... Oh, okay. Go on. Okay, Kara, thanks. No. You're in a mood today, man. What's wrong? It's my new amp on my little microphone. Oh, oh, okay. It's got me all jacked up. I can tell. It creates a different kind of aura in the studio. Yeah, let's go back to the other one. I liked old John.

CHAPTER 12 / 42 Discussion

US-China Tensions, Jill Biden Woman of the Year Award

Chinese President Xi Jinping and Foreign Minister Qin Gang have issued rare, direct warnings to the United States, accusing Washington of "all-round containment" and suppression. Tensions are escalating over potential Chinese lethal aid to Russia and the ongoing trade war. Separately, First Lady Jill Biden's presentation of an International Women of Courage award to a trans woman from Argentina on International Women's Day is discussed as a polarizing political move.

47:53 This is clearly... by the way, Suzanne Santos, do you remember who she is? No. She's an actress, a musician. She's the one that went on Rogan like a year ago and was talking about how much she loved our show and how much she loves it when we bicker. Oh yes, I remember this actress. She went on and on about it. Yeah, she says hi. She was at the show last night. Oh she was there too. Yeah. Like all the celebrities from Austin were here. That's right. Yeah. I said, tell John I said hi! Big fan! Well, hi back. Yeah. Oh it was great. She's very nice. She's one of my favorites. She's gorgeous. And on the way home Tina and I were listening to her music. It was pretty good.

48:34 but her album came out during COVID which kind of sucks I guess. Anyway, I think that this is just another 10-year gambit. This is the whole idea. We can just keep on fundraising, keep on doing political stuff. They don't actually want anything to work. That would kind of fit the whole narrative. Well, that actually is the best thesis that I think the show's ever uncovered. Yeah, it seems that's all bullcrap. It's just to keep the money, it's cash flow. Yeah, cash flow, exactly. Keep soaking the people up, give reasons to print more money everywhere because, you know, we got to do something. And, you know, the only thing that remains open is what do we do with the military-industrial complex if we pull back from the war

49:17 Ukraine and what I'm seeing is I know you you don't really think it's happening but I just see a pivot to China. They can pivot to Georgia according to this morning's news reports. I saw it, I saw it, but China is more fun. Yeah, China is more fun. China is. Everyone who's tried to take on China as well as anyone's ever tried to take on Russia gets destroyed. I don't know if it's really a Well, let's listen to a few reports here. This is NBC. Let's turn now to those warnings aimed at the White House from top leaders in China, including its president. And they are ratcheting up the tensions between the two nations amid growing concern about China's potential involvement in the war in Ukraine. NBC's Molly Hunter has that story with us. And Molly, these are rare. These are direct messages. How seriously are they being received?

50:07 Yeah, Hoda, that's exactly right. These are rare. These are direct. And today for the second day in a row, we heard very similar comments. So Beijing's new foreign minister doubling down, warning the U.S. and China are hurtling towards what he calls direct confrontation and conflict. Now, fiery comments from Foreign Minister Qin Gang underlined the deepening tension between, of course, the two world's biggest economies. This echoed sharp comments from China's leader Xi Jinping yesterday, blaming Washington for these deteriorating relationships. Now, speaking in a legislative session, it was a courting and reported by China State TV. She accused Washington of trying to fence China in. Take a look at what exactly he said. He said, Western countries led by the United States have implemented all round containment, encirclement and suppression of China, which has brought unprecedented severe challenges to our country's development. Now, Hoda, as you mentioned, these are strong, rare words from China's leader. Of course, all of this comes as Beijing strongly denies the US allegation that

51:05 it is considering giving Moscow lethal aid to use in the war in Ukraine. So there were a couple... Wait, wait. Hoda? Hoda's back? Yeah, yeah. Hoda wasn't safe. You know, the funny thing, I want to say this. I'm listening to that clip and the Hoda there. I thought it was a guy. At the beginning of the clip? I thought Hoda's voice, I thought that was the voice of a male. Well, you never know these days. International Women's Day. was yesterday. I don't know if you saw Our First Lady. I guess you didn't. No, but I did put that picture of her when she's wearing those army sneakers and that camouflage dress. Remember that? It was in the newsletter. No, well she gave out the International Woman of Freedom to a dude. Oh, wow, this is great! Yeah, I don't have any clips or anything. That was unbelievable.

52:10 I don't yeah I didn't clip it was a very short clip but it was it was just funny it's like okay well it's explain what it was it was international woman's day and and there's I really thought I had that one there's Jill Biden handing out you know awards for being outstanding women let me see woman of the year correct well it was woman of the year or was it was woman of the year international woman of the year yeah even better yeah and it was dude from from Nigeria. Dude! And that's fine, you know, identify whoever you want, but come on people! There's real women who do not like this and you're gonna lose those votes. Well if you look at that woman that was standing behind her in that photo. Yeah. What a look! Yeah, and did they give Rachel a Wiener Prize? Rachel always needs a prize with stuff like that. Or did Rachel, I don't know, did you see her anywhere?

CHAPTER 13 / 42 Discussion

China Military Budget, Rubber Stamp Parliament Rhetoric

China announced a 7.2% increase in its military budget during the National People's Congress in Beijing, bringing spending to approximately $225 billion. Western media outlets, including CBS and Deutsche Welle, have synchronized their terminology by referring to the Congress as the "world's largest rubber stamp parliament." Outgoing Premier Li Keqiang emphasized that repairing economic damage from the "Zero COVID" policy is a top priority for the coming year.

national people's congress· military spending· beijing· li keqiang· zero covid

53:02 She's in one of my clips, but I don't know. Okay, back to China. Because now it's the same old, same old. And you know, China may even be in on this. I don't know, maybe they're all in collusion. It's rattle... You know, thinking about this idea that this is just cash flow... Mm-hmm, for everybody. It's quite possible. For rattle, rinse and repeat. Get those sabers, rattle them, rinse and repeat. This is the Deutsche Welle clip, and you'll hear very similar language in the CBS report. China has announced that it will be boosting its military spending in the coming years to counter what it describes as escalating threats from abroad. The move was announced at the National People's Congress, a rubber-stamp parliament which is currently meeting in Beijing.

53:47 said the country's military budget would increase by 7.2%. Now China's current military budget is around 225 billion US dollars. That's only about a quarter of that of the United States. China's military activities are being watched with concern by Taiwan, which earlier warned of the need to be on high alert for China entering areas close to its territory. So only 7.2%, got to step it up boys. We're giving away all our money. We give away almost everything, 900 billion dollars a year. You guys are lame. Now what was the key phrase there that we heard? What was it? Well first of all, you've got to stop doing that because it's really, it's like you're just grabbing the mic every single time. Are you?

54:38 I did that time, but I'm not grabbing the mic per se. I don't know why I can't figure out what the source of this noise is that you're hearing. It's your hand touching the microphone. I don't touch the microphone. My hand is three feet away from the microphone at all times. Well, then how can I hear this? I'm wondering myself. Okay, I'll point it out every single time you do it. Yes, please. I'm sure you're touching something. Stop touching the microphone stand don't touch the stand it rattles like a mofo. Yes. Yes that Hmm, you can't touch it can't touch this then what good is this little this this isolator? You know, I wonder that all the time you don't wear headphones I've got an isolator on the mic. It shouldn't be affected by anything That's not in direct contact with the mic. Well, the whole world is hearing it. Oh

55:34 Well, I don't know about that. They don't have your ears. Anyway, continue please. CBS This Morning. The National People's Congress, the largest rubber stamp parliament in the world. Did you hear it now? So Deutsche Welle and CBS are using the same term, rubber stamp parliament. The largest rubber stamp parliament in the world. The EU parliament, which has absolutely zero power whatsoever, is not a rubber stamp parliament? What's the largest? She's being honest. It's the largest. The National People's Congress, the largest rubber stamp parliament in the world, has convened in Beijing. This week, almost 3,000 delegates will enshrine in law the wishes of their leader, China's President Xi Jinping.

56:27 She's zero COVID policy with this ruthless quarantines and epic testing did huge economic damage to China. Ruthless quarantines? Is that the Congress Premier leak? You want to say something? We had ruthless quarantines. Australia went on differently. Australia had ruthless quarantines. Oh Australia and New Zealand worse. Huge economic damage to China at the Congress Premier Li Keqiang made it clear repairing the damage is a top priority The development target he said is growth of around 5% But it's not clear that growth will translate into good news for American businesses in China So there's a chill in the air. There certainly is a chill in the air. I

57:13 As US-China relations sour, some American companies fear they're already suffering the fallout. Michael Hart heads the American Chamber of Commerce in Beijing. Companies feel like they're squeezed out of certain industries. And so there is a question mark that many US companies have about, you know, are we really welcome? That depends to a large extent on President Xi. He officially begins an unprecedented third term later this week. backed by an inner circle chosen above all for their loyalty. They will support him whether he seeks to escalate confrontation with the US and its allies or dial it back. All eyes will be on the Congress this week for clues as to which way that might go.

CHAPTER 14 / 42 Discussion

TikTok National Security Hearing, Silicon Valley Lobbying

A Senate hearing focused on TikTok as a national security threat, with FBI Director Christopher Wray testifying that the Chinese-owned app could be used to control software or drive narratives. The push to ban TikTok is analyzed as a lobbying effort by Silicon Valley companies like Google and Meta to reclaim billions in lost ad revenue. Concerns are raised that the proposed legislation grants the Commerce Secretary broad, permanent authority over the American internet.

tiktok· marco rubio· christopher wray· silicon valley· data privacy· algorithm

57:58 Okay, so we clearly are focusing on China to up our coffers, to get the military focused and all the military, I think this is what the plan loosely is from at least a large portion of the military-industrial complex. Just like, you know, we get North Korea shooting off some missiles, oh, we need to put some more stuff in South Korea, as admitted by my uncle, Uncle Don. It's like that's all military-industrial complex buildup. So now we have China. We've got to get the position stuff in the Philippines, for Taiwan. We've got to position stuff in Japan, just in case, just in case. So now we are going to be building that up and we need a lot more material, a lot more. And it's not NATO, so we can't use your stupid NATO stock. We're going to use other stuff, our new stuff. And so this presents tremendous opportunities. Enter TikTok. TikTok

58:52 This started, and I think it still is, Silicon Valley's initiative to remove TikTok from the scene because they're eating up right now $6 billion a year of advertising money that is not going to mainly Facebook. Twitter is a whole different deal. No one gives a shit over there at Twitter. But Google even has a lot... By the way, Willow got her master's today, cum laude. in psychology a particular algorithm. So and she was the one that had the inside information that internal report that Google is very worried that one out of two people search for something on TikTok before they search on Google, which is a very big problem.

59:37 Maybe if Google did a better job. Oh, well of course that's the problem They cannot compete and tick-tock just nailed it. They know they can they can compete. They just can't gouge as much No, tick-tock is is it's crack. You know they they have not had crack in a long time in Silicon Valley They just can't create everyone's trying to do it, but they can't do it. They can't they can't recreate what tick-tock is and has born to the world. So this created an enormous opportunity. Let's pay politicians, I mean let's support them for their re-election campaign. Let's lobby them, make sure that they get, oh TikTok it's bad. China, China is stealing our information. Oh China is manipulating our children Scott Adams, moron.

1:00:19 So now we can do everything kind of all at one time. ABC News. Two subjects dominated a Senate hearing on the top global threats to America, COVID-19 and TikTok. To me it screams out with national security concerns. Senator Marco Rubio questioned FBI Director Christopher Wray on whether TikTok which is owned by a Chinese company, could censor videos to shape US public opinion. Could they use it to control the software on millions of devices given the opportunity to do so? Control the software! Yes. Could they use it to drive narratives, like to divide Americans against each other? For example, let's say China wants to invade Taiwan to make sure that Americans are seeing videos arguing why Taiwan belongs to China and why the US should not intervene. Now TikTok is a weapon of military-grade war.

1:01:11 Because you know they could change what we see and then we know well you mean or change the way we want to vote the way Google did Yes, yes, I can do it. We have you they must be able to do it too even though if we have no evidence of this No, I'll give you a good one. Oh by the way I'm just hearkening back to the, oh China's trying to censor Google, we can't have anything, that free and open internet, oh Saudi Arabia wants to cut off American internet, we have to have a free and open internet, net neutrality. Oh just wait for it.

1:01:46 make sure that Americans are seeing videos arguing why Taiwan belongs to China and why the US should not intervene? Yes. TikTok CEO has insisted the company would never provide Americans data to the Chinese government but here's what Senator John Thune told ABC's Trevor Ault. It's all bullshit John we know it's bullshit this is Tomorrow, today, this afternoon, the government could say, you know what, we got a problem. We got to remove TikTok from Android and from iOS app stores. But they're not going to do that because there's very important reasons. Have you seen something concrete showing that TikTok has maybe taken Americans' data and given it to China? Or is that simply a hypothetical that you were concerned could happen?

CHAPTER 15 / 42 Discussion

Information Warfare, NSA Influence Operations and TikTok

NSA Director Paul Nakasone's testimony regarding TikTok is interpreted as a concern over the US government's inability to control "influence operations" on the platform. The discussion suggests that the US security state is frustrated that TikTok can "turn off the message" during domestic propaganda campaigns. The segment links the TikTok ban movement to a broader desire for total control over internet algorithms and podcasting content.

nsa· paul nakasone· propaganda· smith-mundt act· information warfare

1:02:28 No, there's evidence to that effect. Another hot topic at the hearing, the origins of COVID-19 and the two leading theories. Either the virus evolved naturally or it leaked accidentally from a lab in Wuhan, China. Dr. Robert Redfield, the CDC director under President Trump, testified he was excluded from discussions about the origin of the virus by Dr. Anthony Fauci and other scientists because he believed the lab leak theory warranted investigation. I was told to me that they wanted a single narrative and that I obviously had a different point of view. Dr. Fauci calling that accusation completely untrue and saying no one excluded anyone. So here's how this information warfare operation is working against the American people. We start by saying TikTok bad, TikTok bad, oh TikTok, oh they're controlling our children. Look, they give good TikTok to children in China, bad TikTok to children in America. By the way, it's people my age who are hooked on TikTok.

1:03:24 people with money who actually vote. You know, this is crack for the masses. So we have that aspect. Now, oh, well, now you, oh my goodness, all of a sudden we have, it came from the lab in Wuhan. Look up in the sky, a balloon, a spy balloon. This is, completely shaped to make America hate China with a rubber stamp parliament. TikTok be removed from government devices over concerns that China could be trying to spy on Americans. So you look at the bill that's being proposed, it is not against TikTok. It is giving the Commerce Secretary, your US government, not a rubber stamp, complete control over what you can do on the internet, what you can launch, or if there's any, oh, this could be bad, could be data leaking out to some other country. They want to control the internet.

1:04:30 They want to control it and why comes out of this one clip and this is from the hearing about TikTok and they had in this Naxon, he's the NSA director. And they're asking Naxon about, you know, what the power, what the power of TikTok really is. Listen carefully. Scrolling on your phone using TikTok could soon be a thing of the past if you live in the US. As on Tuesday, a dozen senators unveiled a new bill which, if passed,

1:05:08 would authorize the Commerce Secretary to ban technology products viewed as threats to national security. While not explicitly aimed at TikTok, it's clear that the Chinese-owned app is a cause for concern. So TikTok concerns me for a number of different reasons. One is the data that they have. Secondly is the algorithm and the control. Who has the algorithm? Third is the broad platform. Influence operations, as we talked about previously, it's not only the fact that you can influence something, but you can also you know, turn off the message as well when you have such a large population of listeners. Okay. What did he just say? I don't know what he said, but he said something about turning off the messaging when you have a large number of listeners. What's he talking about? Well, he's poorly informed because he doesn't give a shit about TikTok. All he cares about is our own, our own

1:06:00 propaganda against our own people. What he's saying here is the problem is they have to tell us, they have to give us to algo, tell us how it works so that we can just like we did with Twitter and Facebook and Instagram so we can propagandize people by making things very popular and he says the worst thing is just when we've got something going viral because we have all these thousands of people doing that within the Pentagon and the State Department you know Smith might be damned of course it was overturned so now we can commit propaganda against their own people, well, they could just turn it off and stop our propaganda campaign. Listen again. It's clear that the Chinese owned app is a cause for concern. So TikTok concerns me for a number of different reasons. One is the data that they have. Secondly is the algorithm and the control. Who has the algorithm? Third is the broad platform. Influence operations, as we talked about previously, it's not only the fact that you can influence something, but you can also turn off the message as well when you have such a large

1:06:55 population of listeners. Influence operations. He's talking about, this is the NSA. He's talking about our influence operations. Now the fact that he says listeners is because he's already thinking how do I censor podcasts? That's why he's thinking of that. These guys want total control. Which app you can have and how the algo works. In the US alone, TikTok has been downloaded over 200 million times with 138 million monthly active users. And last year, the app generated nearly $6 billion in ad revenue in the US.

1:07:33 TikTok said last week that a US ban on the app would amount to a ban on the export of American culture and values to the billion people who use their service worldwide. The app has come under increasing fire over fears that user data could end up in the hands of the Chinese government and has already been banned in India as well as on government devices in the European Union. So I love that, I love that report. They put it right in there. Yeah, TikTok can turn off our influence operations just when it's all going well. So they have no control. So they banned it in India? Yeah. Huh. Well remember China is on Pakistan's side. So yeah. Technically so are we. Well who the hell knows? We're a fair weather friend as far as I'm concerned. We'll screw anybody. And I think the first blow has landed in the

Mitch McConnell Concussion, Waldorf Astoria Fall

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell was hospitalized with a concussion after a fall at the Waldorf Astoria in Washington D.C. The incident is compared to the past injury of Harry Reid, with speculation regarding the circumstances of the fall given McConnell's political ties. At 81 years old, the severity of the injury is noted as a significant concern for Republican leadership.

1:08:35 in the in the US-China war. Mitch McConnell is being treated for a concussion after tripping and falling at a hotel in Washington DC. Mr. China. Yeah you know it reminds me what was the previous speaker of the Senate, the Democrat who's from Nevada that was all beaten up one day. What's his name? Yeah, he's got a rubber band in his eye. What was his name? He was all beaten up. He's beaten to shit basically by some gangsters or something because he didn't do what he was supposed to do. Harry Reid. Thank you, Charles. Harry Reid all beaten up and he wouldn't run again. He was out of there. And so Mitch McConnell, who is a

1:09:21 Kind of a scion of the Chinese because he's I think he's married to a Chinese woman He's not just a Chinese woman one of the richest Chinese families with huge shipping contracts. Yeah. Oh, yeah So somebody worked him over. Did you know it cuz they're not really saying what happened? They're saying Leader McConnell tripped at a dinner event Wednesday evening and has been admitted to the hospital and being treated for a concussion So what if someone trip him up? Yeah, the fall happened at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in DC, which was formerly the Trump International Hotel, according to a source familiar with the matter. Jeez, you didn't even... What, you had to have a source familiar with the matter to discuss the name change? Well, let's see an end for you. Now he is 81, so a bad fall can suck when you're 81.

1:10:15 Yeah, no, it's something you don't want. No. But it is suspicious. It just the timing is very... I mean even if you have your if your feet go out from under you, like if it's slippery, say it slips and you go out, to get a concussion from that you'd have to hit your head going down on a table or something. Exactly, on the corner. But they don't have any report, any real information about that. Now one more thing, if we just want to really screw everything over, and make everything a problem. This report came out yesterday. Let me see, where is this? Yeah, here we go. This report

Perth Mint Gold Doping Scandal, Counterfeit Tungsten Bars

The Perth Mint in Australia is embroiled in a scandal after it was revealed they "doped" gold bars with silver to save money, potentially affecting 100 tonnes of gold sent to the Shanghai Gold Exchange. The Shanghai exchange discovered the substandard bars, leading to a potential $9 billion recall. This breach of trust in the bullion market recalls previous scandals involving tungsten-filled gold bars originating from China.

perth mint· shanghai gold exchange· gold doping· tungsten· australia· silver

1:10:57 I loved. We're going to Australia. Angus, it was an extraordinary story. Can you first of all tell me why did they dope the gold as it's called? Yeah, good morning there. Well look in 2018 the Perth Mint was under quite a bit of financial pressure and so they took a decision to dilute or to dope their gold and that basically means that they added tiny amounts of silver into the mix that makes in their gold bars. And this was a really a it's not illegal, but it's a really high risk strategy because it leaves them with very little margin for error if something goes wrong. And so fast forward a couple of years in September 2021 and they got a complaint from their largest customer, the Shanghai Gold Exchange. Now, remember here that

1:11:45 the Perth Mint had to do two things. It had to stay above the broader industry standard, but it also had to stay above the slightly stricter standards of the Shanghai Gold Exchange. So in September 2021, it received a complaint from Shanghai that two gold bars were not up to standard. Now, That was a very big moment for them. I imagine there was quite a bit of panic at the Perth Mint at that point and they began an internal investigation. And what that found was that one of those gold bars came back as a red flag, i.e. it did not meet the standards set by the Shanghai Gold Exchange, which was incidentally the Perth Mint's largest customer by a very long margin.

1:12:29 So at that point they'd begun this internal investigation, but it wasn't just one gold bar that was bad. The fact that this assay, as they call it, or test, came back as a red flag meant that the entire gold production over that three-year period was potentially tainted or substandard. And so as the process went on, they did this internal report and it came up with this really extraordinary revelation that having talked to internal staff members, having made some estimates, they made an estimate that up to 100 tonnes of gold

1:13:09 that they had sent to the Shanghai Gold Exchange was potentially below the Shanghai Exchange's standards and may need to be recalled. Now, that is 9 billion or 8.7 billion dollars worth of gold. They were messing with the gold! Whose idea was this? The Perth Mint in Australia! And man, they had the Western Australia Premier trying to explain this. He's sweating bullets over this. A bit. Because he knew about it. They were literally diluting the gold with silver.

1:13:53 Above you know above and beyond I didn't know that that this is already done as some kind of standard 0.999 or whatever and the Shanghai exchange. I mean when you have that much gold which of course has been in circulation You know amongst countries. I would presume you can't you will agree. You know we can't trust the tungsten from China So now you can't trust Australia's gold. Can we trust gold at all? I think this is a big deal. I may not be seeing it right, but... Remember the old... well we had this discussion a number of years back when we were talking about the Tungsten scandals. Yes, I have a clip here from

1:14:35 This is 2021. In jewelry stores on 47th Street and Fifth Avenue, the important trust between merchants has been violated. This 10 ounce gold bar costing nearly $18,000, it turns out to be a counterfeit worth just about $3,600. Yeah, but well we had, I don't have any of the clips anymore, but way, way, way long ago, China was doing this. They were, they were mixing in tungsten, they'd put a little bit in, a lot, just have an outer shell because tungsten I think is exactly, is it exactly the same weight as gold? It's so close that you wouldn't know the difference if you could blend them. So this I think is a real cause for concern between countries, especially, you know, China and Australia or China and the Five Eyes or whatever you want to call it. I think it's a problem. If you can't trust the gold,

Elon Musk X Everything App, Twitter Finance Vision

Elon Musk detailed his vision for "X," an "everything app" intended to become the world's largest financial institution by integrating payments and interest-bearing accounts into Twitter. Musk mentioned the possibility of negative interest rates for debt within the app, a concept usually associated with central bank digital currencies. The analysis suggests Musk is building a financial platform similar to WeChat rather than a traditional social network.

elon musk· x.com· twitter· fintech· negative interest rates· payments

1:15:30 What are you gonna do? I know I know I know exactly what you do. You need Elon Musk to save you Elon Did another interview? I don't know what people don't understand this We're the I think we're the only ones talking about the fact that he is not building a social network He is building a finance finance app Like we chat which will come with its own set of financial Benefits and constraints and which probably will include a some form of a social credit score but listen to this and listen for the tell. So let's close on Twitter before getting to another couple companies I've heard that you run. The vision you're building towards, I think you called it X or the everything app. Tell us about it.

1:16:23 Beyond just improving the app. This is just the setup question Tell us what you really want to do with with Twitter because I've heard about it being X or something like that advertising and and you know What will we be able to do on Twitter in your in your grandest vision? Yes, X X.com is You know so I think it's possible to create a very powerful Finance experience basically Like like PayPal is kind of like a halfway version of what I think could be done in payments and finance and So you want to be like let's say you Like you want to be able to send money easily from one account on x Twitter to another account effortless to do with one click You want to be able to I think an interest on the money you want to be able to

1:17:23 have debt so your interest can go negative. Basically, I think it's possible to become the biggest financial institution in the world. Just by providing people with convenient payment options, we don't have the time to go into it in detail here except if we just make the app more and more useful, People will use it more and it'll be great. I mean, yeah, so you'll see. So I have never heard anyone say this. He specifically said you'll be able to earn interest if you have your money in Twitter and you can also go into debt with negative interest rate. I've only heard that in the context of a government controlled bank account like Central Bank Digital Currency.

1:18:23 But going into debt, why does he say, yeah, that'll be negative interest rates? I have no idea. Something's up with that. It sounded like a free form. You know, I actually get a copy of that and then edit it so we can hear again Musk trying to speak, which it seems harder and harder for him to do day by day. To get a simple sentence out is almost impossible. I know. I know. I know. Hmm.

TikTok Dissociative Identity Disorder, Neo-Pronoun Guide

A viral TikTok video features a user claiming to have Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) and explaining the use of "Z/Zem" neo-pronouns. The individual claims their gender identity is linked to "shapeshifting into a bird," asserting they are not entirely human. This content is used to illustrate the "crack-like" nature of TikTok content and the psychological trends emerging on the platform.

tiktok· did· dissociative identity disorder· neo-pronouns· shapeshifting

1:19:01 Well, if you want to take a breather, I have a nice clip since you brought up TikTok a while ago. I have a clip of a woman who has got the multiple personality disorder. Oh, is she a listener? No, she's a TikTok woman. Oh, wait a minute. Hold on a second. I keep forgetting to do this. I gotta set that up now. We need the TikTok jingle. Talk. Talk. TikTok. Okay, now that short little jingles better than all of the after show. Yeah, okay I wasn't even gonna bring this up, but John is really out of sorts today He feels that the end of show mixers are no good. They suck then it's not anything the way it's supposed to be It should be songs parody songs which are very hard to do which we got a lot of during the lockdown But you just hate everything that we have for to everything you hate it all. It's horrible and

1:20:05 There's not one mix in the entire collection. John at Dvorak.org if you agree with him. Oh, they will all be sending saying yeah, yeah, yeah give Adam a bad time. So here's the classic and she is a member of a DID club which is the Distur or some sort of a, you can look it up, it's a multiple personality disorder so one of the acronyms. But she doesn't have different personalities. She is changed. She's a shape shifter by all intents and purposes. Let's listen to her. Hi, my name is Tempest. I'm a member of a D.I.D. system and several people have asked how to use the neo pronouns that I use. So here's a quick guide. So I use they them pronouns, but primarily I use Z, them, themself.

1:21:01 Now, this is a little bit different from the other Z pronoun, which is Z-Zur-Zurso. So the G that I use is more related to he, him. I'm agender. I don't really have any kind of gender identity, but I have a masculine body in her world and I'm more masculine leaning in terms of like self-expression, compliments that I like, things like that. And like Cameron and Avery in our system, the not having a gender thing for me specifically is related to the fact that I shapeshifted into a bird. So the other birds also use neopronouns because they don't connect to gender.

1:21:49 In a human way, specifically, they don't connect to not having a gender in the same way that a human would connect to not having a gender. So it's not just the fact that we're non-binary, it's the fact that we're not entirely human. So, z, zem are gender neutral and singular and you can use them in a sentence just like you would use he, him except it's with x's in a z sound. And that's really it. It doesn't mean anything specific. It's not some complicated usage. It's just an alternative.

1:22:24 I do very much prefer ZZim, but TheyThem is also fine and I won't be offended if you only use TheyThem for me. But please do try to use ZZim. Yeah, I'm in total agreement now. I think TikTok should be banned from the United States. She shapeshifted into a bird. Yeah, what kind of data is the Chinese getting from these people? How many shapeshifters that shapeshift into a bird do we have on our platform? It's the influence campaign. We need more bird people, bird ladies. So she has DID, dissociative identity disorder. Oh. Which is what she said, with a little group. She's not by herself. She's with other girls or whatever they are, birds. They're not people, they're half human. Mental health conditions, someone with DID has multiple distinct personalities. Wow. But hers are,

Podspeeding Use Disorder, 1.5x Playback Anxiety

The concept of "Podspeeding Use Disorder" (PUD) is explored through listener testimonials describing increased anxiety and impatience caused by listening to podcasts at 1.5x speed. Reports indicate that the Colorado State Capitol reads bills at high speeds before voting, reflecting a broader societal trend. Listeners describe how slowing content back to 1x speed improved their personal relationships and reduced irritability.

podspeeding· pud· ben shapiro· russell brand· mental health

1:23:20 Human and bird I'd like to see that and it's what what does DID stand for? Dissociative identity disorder. Well now you bring that up. I have a disorder. I'd like to discuss. PUD. Yes. PUD. Podspeeding use disorder. You're gonna stay on this even... I think you've gotten people convinced. Yep, but there's some important things. Did you know, for instance, as Tanya tells us, that at the state capitol in Denver, proposed bills are read at 1.5 speed before members vote on them? I think that's a problem. I think so too.

1:24:12 No wonder. That explains a lot. It does and this may be happening in other state houses. Sarah says, I'm so happy you've talked about this. I have a very bad habit of listening to everything sped up. I did notice quite a long time ago when listening to the show while I was cooking supper that I felt extremely anxious and all my movements were very quick and I was becoming very impatient with all of my tasks. I slowed it down to 1.25. That helped a lot and I'm going to try to bring it down to normal since the evidence has been supporting my thoughts. Garbage man Mitch. He's also coming back from pod speeding, from his pud. He said, the truck is loud and I wasn't keeping up so I started listening at 1.3x. I started getting impatient with my family, in particular my young kids who have a hard time expressing themselves and getting to the point. My wife keenly made the same observation. We are saving or creating lives twice a week with this.

1:25:09 Do not maybe this accounts for people who listen to the Ben Shapiro show at any speed being a problem Exactly or Russell Brand for that matter. He's also he talks at 1.5 1.25 by the way, I did not know this the British people do not like Brussels Russell Brand They know he's found a home I mean, there's so this this article the New Statesman their title of their article was we have lost Russell Brand. We have lost him.

Russell Brand Populism, Phil Collins NannyGate

British public opinion on Russell Brand has shifted, with media outlets like the New Statesman labeling him a "populist nutjob." A parallel is drawn to Phil Collins, who remains unpopular in the UK following the "NannyGate" scandal years ago. The segment also critiques John Heilemann's behavior toward Brand during a recent appearance on Bill Maher's show, specifically his use of the legal term "non-responsive."

russell brand· phil collins· bill maher· nanny-gate· uk news

1:25:47 meaning that he's just become a populist nutjob, but one of our producers here says, and this is Sarah, and now she's very tuned into the news. She sends me two to four, to five emails a week that have just a whole rundown mainly of UK news. Nobody likes Russell Brand here. And she just go ahead put it in the show notes goes on and on and on and this happens sometimes in the UK specifically You know who else the Brits hate? Phil Collins. Phil Collins cannot buy an appearance anymore in the UK. Why? Because of NannyGate.

1:26:31 He started an affair with his nanny and this came out when his house burned down or something and the nanny were running away. I don't remember the exact story, but because of that they really despised Phil Collins. He's a horrible man. They don't even remember why it was so long ago. Horrible man. Horrible man. Yeah. But that. Which brings me to the the answer which we did not understand the non-responsive Remember he was arguing with your buddy there Heilman on the Bill Maher show and he was going to give an example of Of how MSNBC lies and he gave the example of the ivermectin which is more a CNN example But okay, we'll give it to him. I'm sure they said it and John Highland was going non-responsive

1:27:25 Yeah, that is a term only, only used in court, a courtroom or a deposition where the witness has to answer the lawyer's question. If an answer evades or does not relate to the question, the lawyer can say, objection, non-responsive. So what this was doing is Heilman, who is not a lawyer as far as I know, was just being a douche. You know, trying to put him in his place using some highfalutin word or term. Not responsive! And it just accentuates that you really should not be talking to him anymore. The guy's lost. Well, on that same show, I pulled a clip that we didn't play that was, I thought was interesting. All right. Which was Mayor Bill Maher talking to

Bernie Sanders Equity vs Equality, Bill Maher Interview

Senator Bernie Sanders appeared on Bill Maher's program and struggled to define the difference between "equity" and "equality." Maher argued that equity implies a guarantee of outcome, while equality refers to opportunity. Sanders eventually sided with "equality," suggesting he may not be fully aligned with the modern DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) terminology used by his political wing.

bernie sanders· bill maher· equity· equality· dei

1:28:20 Bernie Sanders about the word equity yeah, we didn't I don't know why neither of us, but we've both seen it But neither or neither of us pulled it which is odd I don't know why but whatever the it's so silly I play the longer version of it, but the main part of it, which he says You know what equity means and Bernie says no oh Right, I got the clip here. DEI, are we confusing equality of opportunity with trying to guarantee equity in outcomes? Okay, that's interesting because I think this word equity has come into the language in the last few years and before that we didn't hear it a lot and I think a lot of people hear equity and they hear equality. It's the same word and it's not the same word and the same concept. So how would you differentiate between equity and equality?

1:29:07 Well, equality, we talk about... I don't know what the answer to that is. Come to think of it, you know, equality is equality of opportunity. We live in a society, we want all people to have whatever color your skin is. Equity, I think, is more guarantee of outcome, is it not? Yeah, I think so. I think that's right. Okay. So which side do you come down on? Equality. Equality. Yeah. Goodbye, Bernie. So he's never was read the memo. He's completely off on his own, this Bernie guy. Yeah, yeah, poor guy. Well, he got railroaded there. And Bill Maher's even trying to be, you tell me, trying to be gentle with him. Well, I think it means this, Bernie. I think that, I think it means more like outcome oriented, doesn't it? Speaking of, I got a very nice email from one of our pilot producers. You know, there's been so much talk about, um,

Aviation Hiring Practices, Pilot Meritocracy Concerns

Reports from the aviation industry suggest that hiring practices are increasingly focused on identity-based conferences, such as the Gay Pilots Association and Women in Aviation, rather than traditional flight hour merit. Critics argue that prioritizing diversity over qualifications like the 1,500-hour jet minimum could lead to safety issues. There is a secondary theory that degrading the pilot profession is a deliberate step toward implementing fully autonomous, pilotless flight systems.

aviation· pilot shortage· dei· southwest airlines· meritocracy

1:30:08 You know, we've had a lot of close calls and you know things are definitely happening in aviation. And he says it is rampant that if you want to be, it doesn't even matter what your qualifications are, if you want to be a pilot in today's world and it does, and you know you have to have a minimum 1,500 hours on jet, although Southwest has reduced that somewhat. If you want to even be considered, you have to be either a member of the Women in Aerospace Club. So there's all these conferences and the conferences where the airlines go to hire people.

1:30:53 But the conferences are not for straight white guys who have a lot of hours, might have been in the military. No, no, no. There's the Gay Pilots Association, the Women in Aviation, the Black Pilots Association. So you literally have to go to every single one of these, either pretend to be gay, pretend to be black, or pretend to be a woman, which is a real opportunity out there. Otherwise, you just won't get hired. It's horrible. Well, that's the meritocracies down the tubes. Yeah, well this is exactly what you get. Then you get, you know, and you get crashes. Yes, subpar. Well, and maybe that's all intentional because how long have they not wanted to have the next-gen system where it's pilotless? We don't need pilots. Oh, that's an interesting thesis. We don't need pilots. Oh, look, oh, they're crashing. It's gotten so bad. We need, oh, yeah. They suck, these pilots. And where do you get that? Where do you get the...

Irish MEP Clare Daly delivered a viral speech in the European Parliament criticizing the resolution to continue the war in Ukraine until a total victory is achieved. Daly claimed that a peace deal was on the table in April 2022 but was blocked by Boris Johnson and NATO. She highlighted the devastating human cost, noting that "ordinary people are cannon fodder" and that 108 billion euros in aid will take decades to repay.

Oh goodness didn't even see a clip of him That's how bad he was okay

1:32:52 Yeah, he's, yeah. All right, here's Claire. Thank you, President. One year on as the war in Ukraine continues, when voices everywhere should be calling for a ceasefire and peace, this resolution is driving us in the opposite direction. So I proudly voted against it. It peddles the latest lie that this is not now about defending Ukraine. It's about Ukraine must win. What does What does that even mean? Last April there was a deal on the table which would have seen Russia withdraw in return for Ukrainian non-NATO membership, but Ukraine's Western friends, killer clown Boris Johnson and NATO, rocked into town and told them to keep fighting. The result? Six cities devastated, four provinces illegally annexed,

1:33:43 108 billion euros in aid which the people of Ukraine are going to have to pay back over decades, global food and energy crisis. Is this winning? Ordinary people don't win in wars. They're cannon fodder in the games of others. And you can shout glory in here all you like, but there's no glory in the grave and only graves come out of this folly. It's time for people and the silent majority all over Europe to take to the streets this weekend and demand peace and an end to the war. Oh, is that this weekend? Is that when the meeting is?

European Protests, French Pension Age and German Refugees

Massive protests have erupted in France over President Emmanuel Macron's plan to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64. Similar unrest is noted in Germany, where citizens are protesting against the continued influx of refugees. The discussion contrasts European labor militancy with the American apathy toward potential Social Security age increases to 70.

france· emmanuel macron· pension reform· germany· refugees· social security

1:34:21 Yeah, I think so. Well, we won't see any of it, but it could happen. I mean you saw the protests in France regarding the pension age. Yeah, two years by the way. They've changed it. They're gonna jack it up a bit, but now it's from 62 to 64. Right now it's 62, but they want to move to 64. They're not putting up with changing anything. And in the US they're talking about moving it to 70. Yeah, that makes more sense. And no one's doing it. And oh, yawn. Whatever. Oh, I knew I'd get screwed. That's my because my wife is like in this kind of a situation where she gets her. She managed. She latched on early. And but the rationale is like, oh, yeah, we're going to get screwed. The baby boomers get all the money, you know, instead of doing something about it. Well, I mean,

1:35:14 Because I think you can start drawing down on your social security at 62, I believe, although you get a significantly smaller amount of money, which is like $1,200 a month. But you know what depends on how much it how much you very some person to person how much they put in the system Well, believe me. I'm gonna get zero dollars per month. Yes. See there you go. This is you This is an example of what we hear this instead of but it's riding in the streets. Oh, no I didn't pay enough in I only paid in during the MTV days. I mean, do you automatically pay in when you pay your taxes? Does that all happen automatically? It depends sometimes, yes. But it's part of FICA, if I'm not mistaken.

1:35:59 I don't know about that. Yeah, well, I'm just going to presume that in my... You don't know what you're going to get if you haven't already looked it up. You could be getting two grand. You don't know. Well, Tina's going to get $1,200 a month at 62. And she's saying, okay, so what if I wait until 65? How much will the dollar be devalued at that point? Should I start taking stuff earlier and invest it in something? Which I think is probably the way to go. Yeah. But anyway, I have mixed feelings about Mimi took out early Yeah, she did a calculation with a bean counter and it turned out that you could get you know You unless you live to be 95 which I'm planning on 98. Yeah, you should probably not take it out early then. Okay? Okay What was the other protest oh, yeah Germany's also protesting they don't really they don't want any more

1:36:54 Refugees from anywhere? Not from Ukraine, not from anywhere? No, we don't want it. No, no, no. Europe is a tinderbox. I'm telling you, it's a tinderbox. People are going to start getting really, really angry about things. So I have another clip that's kind of funny. This is, we haven't heard from this guy for a while. I think he's in Texas and I think this was at the Texas Senate. And I don't think this is an old one. It might be, but it just showed up. But it's the same kind of thing he likes to do. This is Alex Stringer, and Alex Stringer's the guy who likes to go before city councils and bitch and moan about stuff, and then slip in a bunch of crazy comments. Wait, is that Stringer or Stein? Alex Stringer is a different guy.

Alex Stringer Texas Senate Testimony, Satirical Activism

Austin activist and former mayoral candidate Alex Stringer delivered a satirical testimony before the Texas Senate, mockingly adopting the persona of a "triple-vaccinated" extremist. Stringer's testimony included absurd claims about "stage 5 testicular cancer" and his son's transition at a drag show. The performance is noted as a critique of modern political rhetoric and the "Drag Queen Story Hour" controversy.

alex stringer· texas senate· austin· satire· drag queen story hour

1:37:45 I'm pretty sure it's Alex Stringer, this one. Well, right, but I'm saying Alex, the guy who does all the crazy stuff is Alex Stein 99. Well, this is not Alex Stein, this is Alex Stringer. Alex Stringer is a guy in Austin. He's the guy who ran for mayor, actually voted for him. He's the pedicab guy. Well, that could be. Maybe he's not the guy who goes from place to place. But he does pull one here in Austin wearing a mask so you can't really see who it is. And it went on forever. I only clipped the beginning. I cut it off where I thought it lacked being as funny. Good afternoon, senators. My name is Alex Stranger. I'm speaking in support of Senate Bill 287 because, listen, we got to protect our safety and we need to protect our kids.

1:38:39 And we gotta be honest here, okay? In order to do that, we gotta realize that the greatest threat to our safety is our fellow Americans. And this is especially true about these MAGA hat wearing terrorists who infest our state with their hateful rhetoric, all right? Listen, I'm triple vaccinated and boosted, and I've gotten COVID four times, okay? You wanna know why? Because these people, they refuse to wear a mask and they refuse to get vaccinated. And you have to understand, these people, they could have killed me. And they wouldn't even care. You wanna know why? Because they are murderers and they are terrorists. Alright? And then let's talk about my wife. She's immunocompromised with stage 5 testicular cancer. She hasn't left the house in three years because of these MAGA QAnons, alright? And these people, they're murderers. They deserve to spend the rest of their lives in prison, and this is how we need to treat these people. And I understand that, you know, I'm really glad that we have good Republicans, you know, like Senator Huffman and Dave Phelan, and you guys fully agree with me on this.

1:39:33 Look, I took my five-year-old son Carla to a drag show last weekend in Dallas, and we are regulars at our school's Drag Queen Story Hour. And the drag queens and minor attracted persons performing for our kids, they are amazing people and they are role models. You know, my son Carl even started transitioning when Sprinkles, the drag queen, sat on his lap and gave him her thong after the performance, stains and all. And when these Republicans want to take the joy away from my five-year-old, it's only because they want to exterminate the LGBTQ community because their hearts are filled with hatred. Yeah, Stringer's a good guy. He's a, yes, he is the pedicab driver in Austin and his platform was put a dome over Austin and give the teachers flamethrowers, which I thought was a great platform when I voted for him.

CHAPTER 27 / 42 Discussion

New York City Mask Policy, Reverse Mandate for Criminals

New York City Mayor Eric Adams has suggested a "reverse mandate" where shop owners should require customers to remove masks before entering to deter robberies. The policy shift comes after a surge in crimes committed by individuals using COVID-era masks to hide their identities from surveillance cameras. This marks a significant departure from previous public health mandates that strictly enforced mask-wearing.

eric adams· new york city· masks· crime· facial recognition

1:40:24 So, while we're on that then, crazy vaccine mandates, boosters, masks. This is just so poetically beautiful. You have been complaining throughout COVID, masks are not a good idea. Why? Because criminals will use them to jack stuff up. Took a while, but you're right. That's now what's happening all throughout New York City and now we have a reverse mandate. No masks mandated. Think about this for a moment. As I looked at some of the videos, I looked at about 30 videos of people who committed the robberies in in Canada smoke shops and in bodegas. Each one of those videos, you saw the person inside walking around with his mask on. And if you did a real analysis of it, you see that hey, this guy's up to something. So if you're refusing to remove your mask,

1:41:38 Don't confront the person, but now you're saying, wait a minute, now let me pay attention to this person that is in the store, linging around with the mask. We've gotten so used to the mask that we don't realize there's a large volume of people that are wearing it, not because of COVID, because they're criminals. No kidding! Well that reminds me, there's another thing going around here. DC had a, they tried to soften a bunch of rules about... Yes, I have a clip. I have two clips because I have the... did you get a clip with the cop? No, no, no, I got... hold on a second because it's very short. It'll probably set up your clip. Hold on. Yes, here it is.

CHAPTER 28 / 42 Discussion

DC Crime Bill, Biden Veto Threat and Statehood

President Biden announced he would sign a Republican-led resolution to overturn the DC Council's revised criminal code, which sought to lower penalties for carjackings. This move is seen as a political pivot for Biden ahead of 2024 to avoid being labeled "soft on crime." The decision also complicates the ongoing push for DC statehood, as it reinforces the federal government's oversight of the district's local laws.

joe biden· dc council· carjacking· statehood· eleanor holmes norton

1:42:21 this one. Yeah, Chuck, up until this point, the White House had just said that they were not in favor of the House voting to gut this crime bill. But they hadn't really talked about the possibility of Biden, of President Biden vetoing it. Now he's coming out and sort of explaining why, the reason behind his reasoning. He tweeted just a short time ago, quote, I support DC statehood and home rule, but I don't support some of the changes DC

1:43:14 put forward over the mayor's objections, such as lowering penalties for carjackings. If the Senate votes to overturn what DC Council did, I will sign it. This is sort of a political test for him. It shows not only, as you mentioned, that he is in favor of keeping that home rule, that unique position by Congress to sort of meddle in the affairs of the DC city councils and DC voters, but it also shows ahead of 2024 where President Biden could be going with this. You can imagine had he chose to veto this crime bill that's expected to pass in the Senate when it does come up next sometime next. Did she say had he chose? Did she say this.

1:44:17 Alright, so there's a lot of things going on with this. One is the D.C. statehood, which we should probably explain. I don't think many people understand it. Yeah, they keep wanting to turn D.C. into a state so they can get an extra two senators. Yes, Democrats. Just to get two Democrat senators to pack the Senate and get one, you get one House of Representatives. You get that horrible woman, Norton Holmes. Oh, Norton Holmes. Oh, I met her, man. She's a scammer. She's like, she was, I had a very bad experience with her a long time ago. I think her whole political career began with masturbation clubs. I met her in the context of, I think, Obamacare.

Austin Police Shortage, 1994 Crime Bill Redux

Austin, Texas, is facing a severe police shortage of over 200 officers following "defund the police" initiatives and failed contract negotiations. DC Police Chief Robert Conte noted that the average homicide suspect has 11 prior arrests, highlighting a failure in the judicial system to keep violent offenders incarcerated. The analysis predicts a return to 1994-style "tough on crime" legislation as public safety becomes a primary voter concern for 2024.

austin police· defund the police· robert conte· 1994 crime bill· incarceration

1:45:05 And and and you know she she co-sponsored a movie that I kind of got roped into to goes to this premiere as this guy named something Wendell and he was it turned out he's just a huge shill for the for the for the medical community and she was all in but anyway Continue. Back to the crime bill. Here's the rundown. This is from, I believe this is from NTD. Washington DC's police chief says to keep homicides down, the district needs to keep bad guys with guns in jail. He spoke alongside Washington's mayor about public safety. Metropolitan Police Chief Robert Conte also said the average homicide suspect has been arrested 11 times prior to them committing a homicide.

1:45:55 Conte said if bad guys are in jail, they won't be in Washington communities shooting people. Last month, Democratic Congresswoman Angie Craig decried the district's crime laws after she was assaulted by a homeless man. She said she was his 13th victim and he was committing crime for almost a decade. She said in many cases he received no punishment for his crimes. DC City Council was forced to pull a bill that would have made the district even softer on crime I do have an issue with this report. Why is it always bad guys? Women don't commit crimes? Well, this was clipped yesterday on International Women's Day, so they don't do that on International Women's Day. But meanwhile, why even quote the cop? Let's listen to this guy who is the chief of police, and Mimi sent me this, and she says, you know, if this was a white

1:46:52 Chief they wouldn't be able to say what he's about to say well We got to do if we really want to see homicides go down is keep bad guys with guns in jail Because when they in jail they can't be in community shooting people so when people talk about What we gonna do different or what we should do different what we need to do different That's the thing that we need to do different. We need to keep violent people in jail right now the average homicide Suspect the average homicide suspect has been arrested 11 times prior to them committing all homicide. That is a problem. That is a problem. Wow, I have a thought on this. So Austin right now is in deep trouble with their police. They were, Austin, Texas, big proponents of defund the police. They defunded the police to the tune of $150 million. They did not negotiate in good faith for the new police contract, which means the cadets, there's no cadets, there's no new inflow of cops.

1:47:50 Right now they are over 200 police officers short. At the end of this month, the current contract expires. They have not been able to negotiate a new contract with the police. There will be an additional 90 officers who will be retiring and I know if you've seen the videos Austin, but crime is rampant. They're just taking over intersections right where we used to live to do, you know, burnouts and drag races. It was a Suzanne Santos said that her neighbors have been broken into in broad daylight. So this is happening all across America and

1:48:30 I think it's very possible that we're going back, do we have 2024? Let's go back to 1994, the 1994 crime bill, championed by Senator Joseph Biden. This is when we had the Predators, remember that? Put it on the cover of Time magazine, the little kid, oh we got nine-year-old Predators. I have a feeling that they've created the problem, we've got the reaction and the solution is now let's lock them all up again. Lock them up, lock them up, especially the black ones, lock them up. Make bigger jails. Yep, which of course everyone's invested in. Bill Gates and isn't, what's his face there in Omaha, isn't he invested in the corrections

1:49:19 Corporation of America. Yeah, I think they changed the name of that company too. Of course, they gotta hide it. But you do. I think it's coming. I think we're getting a 2024 crime bill and everyone's gonna be on board with it and massively refund the police and the jails and it's gonna be a crackdown like you've never seen before. It could be. And it's gonna be super racist. This could all be avoided by creating shanty towns. JCD for president, everybody. Great idea. Speaking of law, Ron DeSantis now on my hit list. This morning, Governor Ron DeSantis is floating a new offer to bring tennis star Novak Djokovic into the country to play in a Florida tournament. I would run a boat from the Bahamas here for him. I would do that 100%. 100%. Djokovic never. You said you would never hear it. There it is. 100%. 100%.

CHAPTER 30 / 42 Discussion

Ron DeSantis Novak Djokovic Boatlift, Vaccine Travel Bans

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis offered to facilitate a boatlift from the Bahamas for tennis star Novak Djokovic to bypass the US vaccine mandate for the Miami Open. While Djokovic remains barred from entering the US due to his unvaccinated status, DeSantis criticized the Biden administration for maintaining "the fiction" that vaccines are necessary for public health. The US remains one of the few countries still enforcing vaccine requirements for international travelers.

ron desantis· novak djokovic· miami open· vaccine mandate· bahamas

1:50:18 I would do that 100%. Jokovic never got the COVID vaccine and is therefore barred from entering the US. DeSantis wrote to President Biden this week, asking for a waiver to allow Jokovic to play at the Miami Open this month. Saying the time has come to give up the fiction that the COVID vaccines remain a necessary tool to promote public health. DeSantis, a potential 2024 presidential candidate, acknowledges the boatlift idea may not work. But I think his people are looking at it and I'm not sure that's the way they want to come into the country, which I understand. I think it'd be a great moment, but you know. And the CDC website confirms the vaccine requirement applies to travelers by sea as well as by air. We expect everyone to abide by our country's rule, whether as a participant or expectator.

1:51:09 The world's number one tennis player missed last year's Australian Open due to his vaccination status. He has said he'd rather skip major tournaments than get vaccinated. Are you prepared to forego the chance to be the greatest player that ever picked up a racket, statistically, because you feel so strongly about this champ? Yes. And, you know, props to Joe, Joe, Joe Kovach. He's principled. He's principled. It's like, no. Yeah, I agree with that. But Governor DeSantis? Piece of crap. I don't want to be like all emotional about it, but I cannot have people come in to visit me here until at least May when I'm sure they'll extend it again because of this bullcrap requirement and we're the, I think, the last country in the world that has it. And instead of being presidential and DeSantis doing... Here's what you could have done.

1:52:01 We need to drop this for all people just like on the southern border or he maybe you should have said hey You know what once you just go to Mexico and just walk across the border because that you can do In fact that would have been making that suggestion instead of You know piloting a boat from the Bahamas or whatever But just telling him to mock the situation over the southern border but No, he did. Yeah, I was poorly done poorly done. I agree. I mean I don't hate his guts cuz of it But yeah, I do I'm very mad about good for you. I'm very mad about this It's it's insane that that is still in place and there's and there's the only answer we get well You always important have everyone vaccinated. Oh really doesn't the vaccine does if the vaccine worked? Maybe we do something with it. Yeah, you vaccine doesn't work. There's a there's a new Avenue for for vaccinating children

Tennessee HPV Vaccine Bill, mRNA Tuberculosis Research

A bill in Tennessee proposed by Republican lawmakers would allow dentists to administer HPV vaccines to minors without parental consent. Meanwhile, NPR reports on a "plug and play" mRNA vaccine platform being tested in South Africa to combat tuberculosis. The expansion of mRNA technology into non-COVID diseases is viewed as a major push by the pharmaceutical industry to establish a permanent vaccine infrastructure.

tennessee· hpv vaccine· big pharma· mrna· tuberculosis· south africa

1:53:00 There's a new way to do it now. Where's this happening? Tennessee? No, Tennessee. Now this is not the COVID vaccination. This is another one of our favorites, HPV. It's the Republicans in the state house that are passing a lot of this stuff. You know, last year we had a bill in Tennessee by my Republican senator that introduced HPV vaccinations for dentists to give minors without consent, parental consent. I'm thinking, this is Tennessee. Even California doesn't let dentists do that. Oh, they will. It's a great idea. I'm just going to numb me up here for a second.

1:53:42 Wow yeah big big farm out of the blue. I'm gonna give you a clip of the day for that discovery. Thank you That's Unbelievable that they would even and it was Republicans. Yeah. Oh, yeah It big your it's just big pharma big pharma has us by the balls You can't fight it. Well we can but big pharma is very very powerful Yeah, you can but it's like unfortunately they've taken over the media. So that's problem number one. Well, let me give you two more phony ads. Okay, wait a minute. I'm gonna do this one first because I want to have the kicker be the kicker obviously. So this is NPR, which you'll hear in a moment is very obvious is NPR.

1:54:34 And we're very excited about the mRNA vaccines. You know why. It's the platform. The pandemic helped to speed the development of a new class of vaccines, the mRNA shots against COVID made by Pfizer and Moderna. Now scientists hope to create mRNA vaccines against other diseases for which traditional vaccines have not worked. Can you guess which one? Which one is coming? It fits right with your shantytown. Well, there would be a cold vaccine, I would think. Shantytown, man. Think Shantytown. Shantytown. Cholera? Close! No, no, that'll be next. And Piers and Reid Eisenman traveled to the University of Cape Town in South Africa where they report a breakthrough against tuberculosis.

1:55:16 mRNA vaccines are like a plug and play system. Plug and play system! If you know what proteins on a virus or bacterium a person's immune system can latch onto to kill it, you insert the genetic code for those proteins into the vaccine. And yeah, it'd be great if it worked. Bingo, bada boom, you're done! But when it comes to the tuberculosis bacteria, TB for short, Figuring out what those target proteins should be is tricky. I don't want to play the whole report because it's just boring where they found it all, but I love the plug and play platform. Yeah, that's what Malone was discussing in a clip we played some months back. Yeah. The CIA, they did these things because of the potential for biological warfare. We got to get a quick turnaround, you need something fast.

Weight Watchers Ozempic Acquisition, Telehealth Drug Dealing

Weight Watchers has acquired the telehealth platform Sequence to provide customers with easier access to obesity drugs like Ozempic. This move is criticized as a form of "telehealth drug dealing," where prescriptions are written without in-person medical history. The trend of using diabetes medication for rapid weight loss has led to global shortages, while telehealth apps increasingly prescribe antidepressants and other controlled substances with minimal oversight.

weight watchers· ozempic· telehealth· obesity· big pharma· antidepressants

1:56:05 And this idea that it would be great if it worked. So we've been talking about Ozempic and how that is being prescribed by doctors for people who are overweight, obese, for a fast, rapid and intense weight loss. Much of the chagrin of people who actually need this for diabetes type one, I believe. No, type two. Okay, I could be wrong. Diabetes type 1, you need insulin. I'm sorry, you're right, type 2. And so they've now broken it up and you have the expensive, I forget the name, but some other

1:56:51 Not snappy sounding name with a jingle. That's well that will be prescribed for the type 2 diabetes But the o o o o zempic now that is of course just for weight loss Hollywood's doing it You've seen the ad campaign. It is all over the place. Everyone can sing it And now we have an acquisition. Weight Watchers is buying the subscription telehealth platform Sequence, making a play in the obesity drug business. The move would give Weight Watchers customers access to doctors who can write prescriptions for medications like Osempic, the diabetes drug that can act as an appetite suppressant. Weight Watchers executives are touting the medical weight loss approach. What this collaboration will allow us to do is to have

1:57:36 a member, enter a pathway and answer questions to assess their appropriateness. are not instead of a diet and physical activity program. They're to help you to comply with a program like that. Comply. But we're already seeing a shortage of drugs like ozempic amid concern about people using it who don't have serious medical conditions. This is what the big pharma did during COVID. This is the not discussed trick they pulled. Telehealth.

1:58:12 So telehealth doctors, all they have to do is have a conversation with you on your app. What's your problem? I can't get it up. Boom, Viagra. What's your problem? I feel depressed. Boom, antidepressant. What's your problem? Look at me, I don't fit on the screen. Boom, Ozempic. Without seeing the person in person, without any real history knowledge, they've become drug dealers. And I can't accuse them because I haven't figured it out yet, but I think, what is this? Better health? There's some thing that I hear advertised a lot on podcasts, if you're depressed, if you want to talk to somebody. I think they may also be prescribing antidepressants, which of course is the real problem we have. Everyone's on a pill.

1:59:01 And now you just get up on the Weight Watchers owned telehealth app. Oh man, I'm so, I love the food, but I'm still, I have so many cravings. Oh, well we have, we can write you a subscription, prescription for Bosempic. It's incredible. And people have no idea that this is being done to them. In fact, we should get in on this action. I don't know how. Well, we can create a telehealth. We got doctors. Hey, how you doing? We can totally have a telehealth app. We can prescribe anything we want. Yeah, no. Yeah, no. Yeah, no. Yeah, no. It's bad. I thought you had a kicker clip. Is that it? No, that's it. I wish I had a kicker. No, I have other clips, but let me see. Did I have a kicker on that?

Houston Cafe SUV Crash, YouTube Podcast Incident

A YouTuber named Nathan Reeves was recording a podcast at the Tout Sweet Cafe in Houston when an SUV crashed through the plate glass window directly behind him. The footage went viral, showing the moment of impact while Reeves was mid-sentence. While no one was seriously injured, the incident sparked debate over whether the event was a genuine accident or a staged stunt for social media views.

Oh goodness am I gonna hate it? No. Okay. It was like a scene out of a thriller movie a YouTuber just finished recording his podcast and while he was sitting against the window at a cafe on Saturday this happened. It got so quiet in here. How did I? Just as he uttered those words, an SUV plowed into the glass behind Nathan Reeves, his friend and a podcast guest. The horrifying moment caught on camera was at the Tout Sweet Cafe in Houston. The cafe was filled with more than a dozen people at that moment. Luckily, no one was injured. Local police said a woman drove her Chevrolet through a red light and struck another car before crashing into the cafe.

2:00:49 The video was uploaded to Reeves YouTube channel November Romeo and has amassed tens of thousands of views. They'll do anything for views on that YouTube won't they? Anything they can. Do you think this was an accident? Well I don't know if anyone wanted to drive a truck through a plate glass window wasn't it? Yeah I think, well I don't think the reporting was an accident but I think that the... Here's what I'll say. A YouTube video is not a podcast. I agree. That's what I'm gonna say.

We regularly engage in chats there which you can follow from across the Fediverse. which is the future of social media and it's a great way to have although I even though we don't have algorithms there's a lot of drama that goes on have you noticed the drama sometimes no oh oh my gosh like what oh people get mad at each other and whoa you know he said something anti-trans and all the trans people left in the chat room they know in no agenda social

2:04:03 There's all kinds of... Yeah, you're right. There's every so often this little skirmish. Yeah, drama. It's like, really people? And then they'll start DMing us, which I do not respond to. I do not respond to DMs. Well, I just don't remember to respond to it. Once in a while by accident I click on that. On accident I click on that DM thing. Yeah, and there's a bunch of messages that have been left Oh my god, cuz they don't give you it. It's not like Twitter It says you got him you got a DM here, buddy. Yeah, it's even worse because you can just be going through your timeline You may not see the little the little icon down below which show which indicates that it's a private message and

2:04:43 and you can just respond to it and then before you know it. And also people tagging us on messages, on threads that are 50 messages long about something that we don't care about, which is a lot. Follow us there and of course we, there is one conversation which I always enjoy, that's the artists, the No Agenda artists, they always communicate there about what they've been making during, listening during the live show. This is part of our value for value system which works incredibly well for us. Anyone can replicate it, we don't take any creepy corporate money, no commercials, no ads, just, it's all from you, the producers who send us your time, talent or treasure and the

2:05:26 The talent and also the time is really reflected in what the artists do. And with that we want to thank the artists who made the artwork for episode 1535. We called that pod speeding. Yes, there you go. Roger Roundy, with a just a fabulous piece. We knew it was going to upset people. I had no idea it would upset so many people. But this was the... That's what art does! It does! It evokes an emotion. And that's all you really want. Good, bad or indifferent. And this is what I would even consider Roger Roundy art, quote-unquote. Well, it was a good piece, I mean... No, it was a graphics piece. It was nice. I liked it. Well, we both liked it. We picked it. Yes, it was a You've Got Vasectomy Face. And we think it was a very accurate representation of a vasectomy face.

2:06:19 Yeah, a bored lesbian. Young, young lesbian. Let's take a look at the other pieces we looked at. I know there was a close second which you used for the newsletter and that was by, was that Tantaniel? No, Dame Kenny Ben. Which was the... Pod Speeding Anxiety was the name of it. I just liked that piece a lot because of the person had nervous look and the bug eyes and the biting their nails. It was great. And we would have chosen that had we not chosen Pod Speeding as the title. Yes, that's exactly correct. Which also eliminated any other of the pretty good pod speeding images. Let's see what else we had. We had the Mastermind with the happiness meter. We had Tantaniel with a no pod speeding. Comix Street Blogger even with a 1.5 with a green X through it. Then we had some... What else do we have here? Russell Brand. No, we had...

2:07:21 Adam Curry as governor of Texas, no. We had a... what else? Oh, the hydrogen being the champagne of energy. Here's a tip. If you have to understand the art by reading the title of the piece, it's no good. It just will not work for us. You know, because we can mouse over... Well, it won't work for the audience because they don't know what the title of the piece is. Yeah, that's what I mean. What else was there a lot of pointing at Fox News liar liar? There was a lot of pod speed people like the pod speeding stuff. It just yeah, you know a lot of champagne stuff So yeah, the vasectomy face was so outrageous and we Then we just felt it was time. It was time again to to bring this up in the conversation I would have to say it's one of our last times because the hate was pretty severe a lot of people not digging it a lot a lot of victims as we say even on the newsletter

2:08:21 Yeah, well we've lost people from our opinions about Ukraine and then you know vasectomies is a long thing so this is a new complaint and I've got a note today, you know I don't like you guys, you're never gonna get my money because of your stance on EVs. I don't think in fact you've actually so we very rarely talk about EVs No, and you've even done reports on different EVs in the past you would you would get them from the manufacturer You'd drive them around you'd report on them. Yeah And what is our stance on EVs? Besides I don't know. It's just that there is a vehicle you can buy. Yeah, we don't have any negative stance. I mean

2:09:07 Well, I do. My problem is freedom. You have no freedom. You're tethered. No, I agree with that. No, well, we do. I think, okay, we have a negative stance. We just... We do. We do. But we don't... We like the gasoline engines. So what? But we don't shit on them. We don't shit on them all the time. Which I think was the exact words you used. So... So... And you know what? This also completely negates the accusation that, oh, they just pander to the people who give them money. Nope. Nope. We do not pander to anybody. No, we don't have to. No, why not? We don't have to because we don't want to. We make it a point. We do. It's a sales pitch. One of the reasons that people should be listening to shows because we don't have somebody telling us what to talk about. Yeah. Yeah, if you don't like our attitude about EVs, yeah, do what that guy does.

2:10:04 You know what, people use anything as an excuse. I've always said this when you're soliciting. People use anything as an excuse not to donate. That's right. Oh, you know, Adam likes the color red. You suck, I'm not gonna donate because you like the color red. I mean, it's just an excuse not to donate. No, it goes like this. I was about to donate, but then Adam hated the color red and I decided no! That's my favorite. I was, I was, for weeks I've been thinking time to donate. I was just about to donate and then you said something that pissed me off so now I'm not gonna donate. Yeah. That's alright.

2:10:42 That's all right. That is the true exit strategy. When people stop donating, we exit. So it's up to you. It's not even up to us to find one. It's up to you to not make us go away like your favorite shop on the corner. Yeah, it is up to them. Yeah, it is. Anyway, thank you to all the artists. Thank you, of course, to Roger Roundy. Great work. He really did not expect this. In fact, I forget who it was. Someone said, Hell will freeze over before that. That's what somebody said or he said the thing is you know Roger around He's a fine artist. He is and fine artists. You don't aren't competitive artists in the graphic Visual arts area where you have to you know you it's different It's a different business, and so you you don't they don't never have the fine sense of somebody there's a number of people that we have doing art that are just

2:11:37 I mean, many amateurs and they just have a sense of it, but they're not fine artists, you know, who do symbolic art that's big. He does big pieces. So there's 200 more trolls who dropped off because they just can't stand... They're dropping like flies. They can't stand the donation segment. Oh! And you know what? You're just rude to your fellow producers and you're missing good content. I'm telling you, it always happens. So with that, we'd like to thank our executive and associate executive producers for episode 1536. And we're going to kick it off with Andy Protzman from Leawood, Kansas, who pops in with a cool $1,000 and says, in the morning,

2:12:19 In September 2021 I made a donation that made me eligible for knighthood, but I put my note into PayPal or otherwise messed it up and you didn't get it. Unfortunately that does happen. It could have been you, it could have been us, you never really know. Anyway, here's another donation in sincere thanks for the work, thought, and perspective you guys and all the producers put into each show. I'd like to be given the title of Sir Andrew of Mount Ored. Is that... would I be pronouncing that right? Mount Ored? Ored? O-reed? I have no idea. Oh, Orried, I'm gonna make it Sir Andrew of Mount Orried. I request burnt ends. Could be Orriad. It could be Orriad too. Now you really met me. I'm gonna say Mount Orriad. That sounds better. And I request burnt ends and bourbon at the roundtable. Burnt ends? What is burnt ends? You live in Texas? I really don't know. Burnt ends are when you do a brisket. Oh.

2:13:12 Or if you've smoked it for 14 or so hours and the ends of it get kind of crusty and burnt looking, and those are considered delicacies. And you cut them off and you either give them to somebody who ordered some other brisket and you give them a little of these. It's a bonus. Well, no. They're delicious. Yeah, no one has ever given me that bonus. Shame on you. You probably had them and you don't know it. That's the thing. Because you wouldn't think of them as anything special if you don't know what you were eating. And Andy winds up saying stay safe everyone. Thank you very much. We appreciate it. Squeak. You can read this one because it's way out of my spreadsheet. Scott Moskowitz in Post Falls, Idaho. You might want to cut it down a little bit. It's a little lengthy.

Where's my penny jar? Oh, there it is. Noah Jender brings tremendous value to so many, a respite of clarity in a world overflowing with seemingly demonic forces running gaslighting ops around the clock. Here's a bit of value back in the form of treasure. He says, despite having only discovered you in 2020, the show has quickly ascended to the top of Mount Rushmore of life-changing influences. This is a category so rare as to be neatly non-existent and your product has reflected this decision in a way that makes it almost otherworldly. It's hard to adequately describe, but suffice to say we appreciate the heck out of you.

2:14:55 Out of it, the import of your vow of poverty is not lost on the audience. Please dub me Sir Scott the Jew. Ah, we know who this is. For the roundtable, espresso and pipe tobacco.

He says, could you give us some Arnold Schwarzenegger, Screw Your Freedom, Kamala with the Insane Laugh, and a Don't Raph. Thank you for your courage, says Scott the Jew. I think people should know. No, that's not the right one. Sorry. I hate that when it happens. I should have looked at the time. Screw Your Freedom. Where is it?

2:15:48 I thought this was it. We can do it. Screw your freedom. Don't drop. Why are you laughing? Shut up. Shut up. There you go, brother. Thank you very much.

CHAPTER 36 / 42 Discussion

Associate Executive Producer Credits, Meetup Announcements

The donation list continues with Associate Executive Producers and smaller contributions, noting a high volume of Dutch donors following a recent European meetup. Announcements are made for upcoming meetups in Tucson, Arizona, and Portland, Oregon. The hosts discuss the technical history of audio editing, including "flanging" and editing with razor blades, as they process the credits.

2:19:39 Quote, out of phase is criminal. That's referring to audio quality. I love that. Yes, it is criminal. Please deduce me. You've been deduced. There used to be a setting on Audacity called Flanger. Flanger. It doesn't have it on the new systems, but the Flanger, I think, puts things into a very entertaining out of phase quality. The flanger. We used to do that, flanging. We call it flanging, you say flanger? Oh, it's probably flanger. And the way you do it is you get two reel-to-reel decks with identical recordings, or you could do it with two turntables if you have the same record, and you start them at the same time and you kind of sync them up and if they are almost exactly in sync then you can get that flanging effect.

2:20:33 which used to be kind of the only effect we could make back in the day before digital. We had a reverb and then you could make the really long reverb. Remember the reverse echo? Where you record something with the echo and then you take the tape off, flip it around and run it backwards? We used to do that a lot. Ah, good times. Very good times back in the day. And we used to edit with a razor blade and a wax pencil. Dame Beth is next on the list. She's in Tucson, Arizona with two to do another row of ducks. Yes. Hi boys.

CHAPTER 37 / 42 Discussion

No Agenda Knighting Ceremony, Global Meetup Reports

2:37:37 Oops, sorry. Here it is. It's the North Idaho Sanity Brigade at the Flat Stick Pub in downtown Spokane and we're getting ready to go see Dr. Jordan Peterson with a belly full of pizza. And beer. Kenny from Pullman, first meetup, definitely worth the drive. He didn't want to say his name, he's the spook. Chris from North Idaho, big fan of the show, having a good time. Our smoking hot wives were at this meetup as well, Danica and Jess, but they didn't want to say anything which I think makes them spooks as well. Come join the North Idaho Standing Brigade as we return to our regularly scheduled programming. The third Thursday meetup, March 16th, is the next one at Selkirk Abbey in Post Falls, Idaho. Hope to see you there, unless you're a spook. And until then, stay woke!

2:38:12 I have to say that's one of the... that is to me almost the ideal meetup report. I like the length, I like the speed, I like it not being everyone... because you know when you get everyone talking, no one has to make a joke and be funny, it gets a little tedious. Dutch contingent of no agenda, this is too long. You have to shorten it up. I know there's a lot of people that show up for these meetups and I love you dearly and bet je korte in het infovolg, okay?

CHAPTER 38 / 42 Discussion

January 6th Footage Release, Tucker Carlson Controversy

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy granted Tucker Carlson exclusive access to 41,000 hours of January 6th security footage, sparking a bipartisan backlash. Carlson aired segments showing the "QAnon Shaman" being escorted by police and Officer Brian Sicknick walking after his alleged fatal assault. Critics, including Mitch McConnell and the Sicknick family, accused Carlson of "cherry-picking" footage to downplay the violence of the Capitol riot.

2:41:35 And I think you're going to win it by default today because... Well, I haven't got good ones, but I will I want to make a weather report before we get into the eclipse. Oh, okay. At 11 o'clock this morning the atmospheric river is supposed to hit. It's already almost 2 o'clock. And? Nothing. Love it. Here's my one ISO. You've got to do what they tell me, which isn't. Yeah, that's what I thought. Boy, that was bad. Yeah, I told you it was bad. Okay, well I've got a bunch of different ones. I've got... let's try stand. Stand with us! I hate Joe Biden as ISOs. I'm just saying. If it's only Biden, we'll have to live with it, but I despise it. I got bitter. There will continue to be hard and very bitter days. No, I'd rather have stand with us in that case. Okay, then the last one which is the

2:42:32 from the podcast report, The Crash. Wow, you're right. All bad. Stand with us. We'll take that one. Stand with us. Because you can hear it. And by the way, People who left they won't hear our January 6 clips, which I think is what we're going to do now No, I think we have something like what we're gonna do. I have some good ones. I do have some you want you want to I have overview clips I have the they're from NTD. I do have the Ken Burns clip from CNN, but it's minor Yeah, let's listen to the overview clip does j6 and videos and justice. Okay?

2:43:12 House Republicans recently released some 41,000 hours of security footage from the January 6th Capitol breach to Fox News. The GOP says they were granting access to any defendants who want to view the video. The defendants say they need the trials delayed in order to review the footage. Federal judges haven't ruled on whether to delay the trials. Government prosecutors oppose the requests. Yeah, I think what was nice about the January 6th happenings this week, this past week in the United States, is Tucker Carlson, who started airing his version of edited videos, of course completely deceptively edited, unlike the January 6th commission, who literally sweetened audio and put

2:43:57 violent crowd noises under video footage of inside the Capitol. The violent crowd noises was very annoying. I mean, they hired an ABC producer to do that. So for Tucker Carlson now to edit his own version having access to 41,000 hours of video. Oh, this of course had to be disputed. It was disputed by all Democrats and even some leading Republicans. A lot of leading Republicans, including, besides Mitt Romney and the usual suspects, but it also included John Kennedy. Yes.

2:44:35 Yes, I was very disappointed by that. Well, you just pay attention to who? You know to who to who is rocking against it and they're the ones that are deathly afraid of Trump gaining ground again Because that's what this is all about Trump has to go to jail and has to go to jail before the 2024 election so all the networks were out in force to excoriate Tucker Carlson, Fox News, and anybody who even comes close to watching it. New backlash this morning after Fox News showed new video of the January 6th attack on the US Capitol. Many Republicans are now slamming the report, accusing host Tucker Carlson of deceiving his audience. What is slamming the report? Slamming the report! It comes amid new evidence in a billion dollar lawsuit against Fox. ABC's Lindsay Watts is here with the latest. Lindsay, good morning. Good morning.

2:45:23 Liz, good morning to you. Both Republicans and Democrats are slamming Fox's Tucker Carlson. Slamming? What is the slamming? Slamming? Slamming? I'm saying you're not just slamming it. You're slamming it. You're slamming it. You're butt slamming it. Butt slam! For his portrayal of this new video from the January 6th attack. I think it's bull****. This morning, bipartisan outrage at Fox News host Tucker Carlson after he claimed surveillance video from the January 6th riot proves the attack was mostly peaceful chaos. These were not insurrection. I like this because when it was a mostly peaceful protest, it was all believable except for the Republicans. And now no one believes it. Chaos.

2:46:06 These were not insurrectionists, they were sightseers. Lawmakers accused Carlson of downplaying the attack, including Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, who held up a letter from the Capitol Police yesterday, criticizing Carlson for cherry-picking calmer moments from the riot. It was a mistake in my view for Fox News to depict this in a way that's completely at variance with what our chief law enforcement official here at the Capitol thinks. Tom Carlson responded on his show last night. Here you have people with shared interests, the open borders people.

2:46:45 The people like Mitch McConnell who are living in splendor on Chinese money. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, who gave Carlson exclusive access to the surveillance video, says he did it for transparency and has no regrets. Each person come up with their own conclusion. But as Republicans and Democrats blast McCarthy, a new court filing shows attorneys for those arrested in the attack have had access to the trove of videos all along. No. That's interesting. That's a lie. Are you sure? Yeah, because they had the attorney on Tucker's show, the shaman guy. Yeah. His attorney, he said they had no idea that these videos were out there and they never had access. He says it's bullcrap. Carlson also aired new video of Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, who died from a series of strokes after being assaulted. According to Carlson, the video shows Sicknick walking in the Capitol after he... Wait, wait, wait.

2:47:43 Wasn't he originally the guy who died because he was bludgeoned to death with a fire extinguisher? Yeah, and there's plenty of clips that back that assertion up. Every network was saying he's bludgeoned to death with a fire extinguisher. But now he died after... According to Carlson, the video shows Sicknick walking in the Capitol after he was attacked. Apparently in good health after he was supposedly killed. We showed you that video, you can make of it what you will. The Sicknick family blasted Fox. Blasted! Every time the pain of that day seems to have ebbed a bit, organizations like Fox rip our wounds wide open again and we are frankly sick of it. And that I can understand and I think is true but they did not refute what he said, which is always interesting.

2:48:28 And then the final one from ABC. And back to the January 6th videos, Carlson pointed out that Capitol Police walked some protesters into the building during the riot, but security experts say that may have been a strategy by police to calm the crowd. Oh, it was a strategy. The bottom line, let me just say one thing and I have one clip we need to play, but the bottom line is All video can be edited to make any story you want, any story at all. And it's now just down to how powerful the original messaging was. I would say pretty powerful. It'll be hard for most people to disagree with that looked like a violent attack.

CHAPTER 39 / 42 Discussion

Media Suppression Theory, Tucker Carlson Footage Halt

Observations are made regarding the sudden halt of new January 6th footage on Tucker Carlson's program after the initial Monday broadcast. Speculation suggests that Rupert Murdoch or other high-level interests may have suppressed further releases to protect specific individuals or cover up details regarding the Ashli Babbitt shooting. The segment posits that the media backlash was a coordinated effort to prevent the public from seeing the full 41,000-hour trove.

tucker carlson· rupert murdoch· ashli babbitt· cover-up· fox news

2:49:17 I personally think that I err more on the side of Carlson's view of what happened, certainly when it comes to the lead figure, the guy with the horn hat, the shaman. I mean, it's obvious that he never committed any violence whatsoever and he seems to have indeed been given a tour of the Capitol building. But this is just he said she said and the sad thing is it's news organizations fighting amongst each other because they really just want Fox News taken off the air because Fox News has the ratings they all desire. Well a couple of things I noticed. One, the Monday report which showed the shaman and all the rest of it was pretty you know the kind of stuff I had expected. We've seen a lot of these videos before. It's nothing new to our audience.

2:50:11 And then they made a big fuss about it as though there was, you know, it was anything more than it was, which was boring to be honest about it. Tucker's stuff was just, okay, here's what happened. It wasn't a big deal. And here's this guy, he's not dead and all the rest of it. And so then everybody goes ballistic for reasons unknown to me. I'm totally convinced. And then they said, they've got to stop this. and Tucker showed no new footage on Tuesday. He showed no new footage on Wednesday. They had 41,000 hours. They could have shown more. I think he got quashed. I think that there was something in those videos, someone, some person, someone who shouldn't have been there, some specific person, they didn't want anyone to see, find out, know that they were there, they're trying to cover something up and they put the kibosh on it, and after the Monday report there hasn't been shit.

2:51:06 Oh, so you think that they have something on Tucker to make him not put that into the report? No, I think he was told not to do it by Murdoch. They kept calling Murdoch out. And then they pushed Mitch McConnell down. And then and yes, and yeah, and then Tucker Tucker being a good company man like yes, we have before Covered his ass look really good kind of showed the same clips again. He didn't do anything. You know to make a fuss I wait you know wait wait wait It's a limited hangout and in the it was like is as if okay I won't show any more than you know somebody said you know there's something you know there's a thing that happened is

2:51:48 There's lots of these things happen in the media where there's some things somehow that journalists accidentally do stuff and the next thing you know it unveils something that people don't want known. I think there's a cover-up here. And you know what? If there was a cover-up, it might have had something to do with Ashley Babbitt. I'm thinking there's something new because that he just passed that right by didn't even show the original video of her getting shot in the neck Worse than that he made the comment that did there was no such video Yeah, I'm not buying that at all there had to be no there's not we saw the video of her getting shot It was just like a gun sticking out and boom she got shot there wasn't the whole there's something but that wasn't video that was from people who were there who were just filming on scene there was there's no video from Somebody filming on scene right and they and I know that they had a lot of just empty footage of just you know stuff weren't you know just security cameras I said that's an interesting assertion. I like that

CHAPTER 40 / 42 Discussion

The View Reaction, Insurrection Rhetoric and Ratings

The hosts of "The View" reacted with outrage to the Tucker Carlson footage, insisting that the events of January 6th were a violent insurrection regardless of the new video evidence. Sunny Hostin cited a federal judge's claim that Carlson is an "entertainer" rather than a journalist to dismiss the report. The discussion highlights the intense rivalry between legacy networks and Fox News over ratings and the control of the national narrative.

the view· whoopi goldberg· sunny hostin· insurrection· fox news ratings

2:52:52 I like that, because I agree. It's like, okay, so no one's gonna believe that. What's the big deal? You know, okay. You see that first day, it was boring. I thought it was boring. Okay, you got these videos and I think you're right. I feel the same way. I think Tucker's right about it. I think he had the right idea. But then they put the kibosh on it. No more. What happened? What about tonight? Is there going to be anything? There wasn't anything on Tuesday? There wasn't anything on Wednesday? Very interesting assertion. I'm kind of liking it. Do you want to listen to the view going nuts? Oh the view I mean listen, you know, I don't know what he's playing at but people saw what they saw they saw what they saw they saw what they were told to see and believe they saw what they saw because it's mind control and they've seen what's gone down with it and

2:53:43 And no matter what, you can't put this monkey back in the cage. You can't. Monkey? This was insurrection. It just was what it was. No, you can call it a riot, but insurrection? No, no, no. People are very upset. His viewers, maybe they're going to buy it out or no. What do you think? Are they going to buy it? A note to his editor. That was a bad... It's interesting where she's concerned if his viewers are going to buy it. They're also concerned with ratings. That's all they're really concerned. They don't care about America. It was so people are very upset his viewers Maybe they're gonna buy it out or not. What do you think? No to his editor that was a bad shot the b-roll of like there were thousands here a small percentage I like the a note to his editor. It's like clawing

2:54:32 That was a mistake on the editors point, but I literally sit there and think like don't treat me like I'm stupid because you're watching the video and we saw it live but even the clip I Love the the view saying don't show me they can think I'm stupid. Okay view wing using words like meek sights here They obviously revere it. Oh, how about insurrectionists violence gang? It is literally a building with rules and you've got people breaking windows at worst you've got injuries and a death but what people died that's where people died All of heart attacks and none of them cops at the time. Okay, no, there were mostly suicides and it was much later And there were there were two more suicides just this week, I think

2:55:17 of Capitol Police. Hold on a second. But they're still promoting the idea that five cops were killed at the event and that's not true. No, it's not. So they're perpetuating a lie, these women. Lies! Lying women lying and a death people died that's for people okay But the point here is take away that even they were destroying the building you're watching glass you're watching a stampede You're watching their outfits. You're watching their outfits because they got MAGA hats on they're telling you what you're gonna do Steve Bannon says remember on that podcast He said all I can say is strap in all hell is going to break loose tomorrow. That's not a call

2:55:59 for He doesn't believe what I say, but I want you to believe what I say. That's what he's saying to his audience. Is that what he's saying to his audience? I don't think that's what he's saying to his audience. Contempt for them, I think. It's like you say, what am I, stupid? I think he thinks that his audience... But all they can talk is about contempt for the audience, not the American people, not the truth, not justice. It's just, it's viewers.

2:56:40 He, hello viewers come watch us he's lying to you. He does think that in its entertainment a federal judge already found by law. Oh this is Sonny Hostin this is great now you gotta love her. That he is not a journalist that he is an entertainer. Oh, he's not a journalist. Well, then why do you care? That anyone that's watching should know that this is just pure conjecture and entertainment. Unlike The View, which is a pure news program. I actually don't think that they believe that it's not true. I think that they believe what he says. I think they treat him as some, what's, of a messiah. But what hurts me to my core is that I... He's a messiah!

2:57:22 It's all about viewership. They don't care about the truth of what happened. They care about making Fox News go away or have no stop watching he Your Messiah is a false idol of a Messiah But what hurts me to my core is that I've become friends with I was I was always friends with a lot of Capitol Police officers, as I'm sure you have been as well. And they're the best of the best. What? And I've become friends with... I've been friends... I've always been friends with the Capitol Police, as I'm sure you have as well. They're the best of the best. The best of the best with officer Harry Dunn remember the tall yeah old man He is still hurt to this day. Yeah, what happened his PTSD those officers are are suffering terribly for people die Again the four people died again the four people are you how dare you Tucker Carlson? Oh very dare you It is beneath. Why do they put what this lie is unbelievable? Oh, but they believe it themselves John

2:58:22 No, I unfortunately I believe that the severity factor which I've made I've said before on this show is high and it's like kind of disturbing. They're gonna end it up with a very interesting assertion slash accusation. Four people died. How dare you? How dare you Tucker Carlson? It is beneath the dignity dignity of any American to dismiss their experience. Let's not let McCarthy, well that's the, well, I'll let you take that one over. But what you're really looking at is a collusion between an entertainment show and the government of the United States. And that was entertaining, I mean it was a re-write. Indirectly McCarthy is also, McCarthy admitted that he had to give him the tape as part of it. He gave him 44,000 hours of security footage. So this is the

2:59:11 most predictable outcome that Tucker would then cherry-pick the parts that look peaceful and that look calm. But why did he give it to Tucker Carlson? He didn't even do that. Well, I think he must have committed to it to get votes for the speakership. He said he had to give it to Tucker Carlson to become the Speaker of the House. Yeah, because he made a deal. They made a deal! He had to give it to Tucker Carlson otherwise he wouldn't become Speaker of the House. Yeah, they've been promoting this concept on that show for a while. There's no evidence of this. Now, that's interesting. It did take him a long time to get the votes. I'll give him that. I will give them that. Well, he definitely did some deals with the most conservative people to get the votes that he wanted. Yeah.

2:59:57 It may be, I mean, I don't think there was ever, Tucker was ever in the negotiations. You gotta do this and you gotta give it to Tucker now. No, no, I don't think so. That's just not the way it works. But if you wanna get the most attention, and you wanna get the highest, the biggest audience, then you're gonna give it to Fox. You give it to Tucker. That's just simple, it's just logical. Well, I think it's a big dud, which a lot of Tucker stuff is. A lot of it's a big dud. Well, I thought it was a dud too, but the fact that he didn't follow up with a second and third round of videos is telling to me that something's up. The only, I've just... He did a great job of covering for it though, you wouldn't, you know, if it was an honest thing, because Tucker's always made the comment that, oh, nobody tells me what to do. Right, right, right.

CHAPTER 41 / 42 Discussion

Robert Redfield Testimony, NIH Gain of Function Funding

Former CDC Director Robert Redfield testified before Congress that there is "no doubt" the NIH funded gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Redfield claimed that Dr. Anthony Fauci was aware of the monetary relationship between the NIAID and the lab as early as January 2020. The testimony suggests that multiple US agencies, including the DOD and State Department, may have funded the research that led to the COVID-19 pandemic.

3:00:56 One last honesty clip that I want to play short. I thought this was dynamite. This is In some ways the guy is trying to save his hide But he came out much earlier and it's just I can't believe that the people aren't going insane playing this clip over and over and over again former CDC director Redfield who was testifying exactly the truth, at least what we've asserted to be the truth, about gain of function, China, COVID, Fauci. Dr. Fauci was affirmatively told in an email that NIAID had a monetary relationship with the Wuhan virus. Institute through EcoHealth Alliance. He was told this in January 27th of 2020. Do you think that Dr. Fauci intentionally lied under oath to Senator Paul when he vehemently denied NIH's funding of gain-of-function research? I think there's no doubt that NIH was funding gain-of-function research. Is it likely that American tax dollars funded the gain-of-function research that created this virus?

3:01:53 I think it did not only from NIH but from the State Department, USAID and from DOD. I think that's really interesting. It's unbelievable that that hasn't been played by everyone over and over and over again. But once you bring the Department of Defense into it, you mean, well, they were weaponizing the COVID virus. And heaven forbid the public finds out about it because it backfired. And this is the reason you don't do this kind of research, because of what happened. Yeah, over a million dead people. Thank you very much DOD. They were there in the Pentagon. They can't even be audited. Well, okay. I'm gonna push back on the million dead, but okay. Yeah, I don't know if a million... Well, I'm just gonna assume there's a million dead. Yeah, but I don't think they're all dead from COVID. Not U.S. dead, just worldwide. Worldwide dead. Okay, because the number is 1 million for the U.S. That's what the... No, I don't buy that. Okay. No, you don't have to. It's free.

3:02:59 Now I'm not buying it a note to our end of show mixers. I am going to give some I'm going to agree somewhat with my partner here you have gotten Too comfortable lackadaisical we can do better step it up and and I know I know everyone yeah You know you're kind of right you're kind of right But I'm still going to play every single submitted end of show mix because they're still very creative.

Episode 1536 Outro, Megalopolis and Globalist Critique

The episode concludes with a montage and final thoughts on the emergence of "megalopolises" in China and West Africa, which globalists view as a population challenge. Clips of Bill Gates and Donald Trump are used to critique the World Health Organization and the potential for World War III. The hosts sign off from FEMA Region 6 and Northern Silicon Valley, promising a return on Sunday.

3:04:21 A lot of accounts, first-hand accounts of people saying that it has hijacked their nervous system, they have no patience with the people around them, people they love, their spouses, their children, their co-workers, that it makes them jittery, and they're just... What's the need for podcasts at 1.5 speed? Taking in more information than anyone really needs. Advertising sponsors running out of money, NPR itself is cutting 10% of staff. It's not funny, 30 milli in the grand scheme is a big dilly. Looking at those watching cable TV unironically feel silly not exactly funded by the viewers at home Sitting in a rocking chair all alone.
