About this episode

Donald Trump faces a 30-count indictment in Manhattan as Michael Cohen and Stormy Daniels prepare for a high-stakes arraignment. The legal proceedings have sparked a constitutional firestorm, with Nancy Pelosi and John Brennan drawing sharp criticism for suggesting the former president must now prove his innocence. This shift in the presumption of innocence coincides with a massive security ramp-up by the NYPD to prevent civil unrest.

NPR recently terminated 100 employees from its podcasting division, including the team behind the high-budget series Invisibilia, amid a tense town hall focused on diversity and marketing grievances. Meanwhile, the World Health Organization issued new guidelines suggesting healthy children may not require COVID-19 vaccinations, a move that contradicts current CDC safety signals. In the United States, Senator Rand Paul continues to press Secretary of State Antony Blinken for the release of unclassified records regarding USAID funding for gain-of-function research in Wuhan.

Technical glitches and April Fool's pranks dominated the digital landscape as the No Agenda Social Mastodon instance faced a simulated shutdown. Sir Scotland The Brave shared a harrowing account of vaccine-induced pericarditis, while the show celebrated John C. Dvorak’s 71st birthday with a global wave of producer support. The episode concludes with a look at the 1953 Waco tornado and the rebranding of UK energy initiatives as Energy Security Day.

Ozempic Side Effects and April Fool's Day Traditions

The discussion opens with observations on the weight loss drug Ozempic and the phenomenon of "Ozempic face" caused by rapid facial fat loss. Transitioning to the date, the conversation shifts to how the internet has effectively ruined April Fool's Day because jokes lack time constraints and are often mistaken for serious news months later.

00:00 Correlation does not imply causation! and guessing sealed indictments, 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 i'm trying to find that food I can eat before I go to bed to get rid of that belly's fat while I sleep.... I'm John C. Dvorak. Ozempic will do it for you. They give the Ozempic face I know people who are on the ozempic right now and they love it yeah until their face collapses The thing is, I don't think you can stop with the ozempic and that's when it all goes wrong

00:55 That's one of the oh that could be yeah, you can't stop and while you're taking it side effects are nausea diarrhea Tourette's. Oh no I'm sorry this I made that a big face those in big face yes so You are typically the, you used to be. Used to be? We've talked about this from time and time The April Fool's Day master Yes I'm in some hall of fame for doing a couple of these And of course ever since the internet you really can't do April Fools jokes They just don't work The internet broke the April Fools joke I believe so

CHAPTER 02 / 54 Discussion

No Agenda Social April Fool's Shutdown Incident

Administrator Aaroner performed an April Fool's prank by claiming he was transitioning and shutting down the No Agenda Social instance. The prank highlighted user addiction to the platform as producers flooded support channels with messages, while also demonstrating the inherent fragility of centralized social media instances where a single admin holds total power.

no agenda social· aaroner· april fool's day· social media· deplatforming

01:36 And so- And why is that? Well. Yes, why is that John? Because there's no time real time constraints with the joke. The joke goes on to the internet where it stays forever and is often read sometime in the middle of November. Right! If if it's a good one Yeah and then it gets read as something serious in the middle of November There's no association with April 1st and it becomes a nightmare Exactly. And so people still try them, you know they they still... there's a lot of Bitcoin people saying oh I bought Ethereum! Yeah okay haha very funny How is that a joke? You can buy Ethereum?! Exactly and so Aaroner who runs No Agenda Social he did something very interesting yesterday which he considered to be an April Fools joke but it actually did more. I'm sure you saw that he posted

02:32 I can't handle the KKK Nazi quadroons anymore. I'm transitioning, I'm becoming crystal, I'm moving to California and tonight I will be shutting off No Agenda Social." And he did! He shut it off. So first of all that's not really an April Fools joke. It doesn't have the right elements correct? Well, I didn't analyze his gag. It had a lot of elements that one of the elements it has to have and it has to have April Fool's giveaway in there somewhere as he's usually coded. Well the whole that was the problem like the whole thing was a giveaway I mean it was obvious that that was not true so, He posted that couple hours before and then he actually did shut it down which you know... I think that made it work You thought oh interesting here's what it did for me

03:29 It made me realize how addicted people are to this thing. Because they were DMing Tina on any way they could get a hold of her, what's going on? Is this an April Fool's joke?! Really you can't see that that is an April Fool's joke? But also it made me realize even myself with godlike powers admin power I was powerless and thought huh isn't that interesting By the way I should mention to people out there if Is this an April Fool's joke and you check the calendar, and it's actually April 1st? 99.9% of the time it's an April Fool's joke. So you shouldn't have to ask. Exactly but it was also kind of like social media is basically broken even I could get deplatformed what if he woke up and was really mad and went screw this I'm shutting it down He could do it. Well then he should do in on the 3rd

04:31 Please do it on... Okay, you made my point I guess. And people are posting on Twitter what's going on man? What's going on? Hope it made people realize how valuable that resource is and how they treat it sometimes like a trash heap yeah and also made me go oh cool I'm gonna go to Noster. I want start posting stuff over there It was just interesting I thought it had an extra effect from a typical April Fool's joke. It's the same with, I don't know if you saw that email from the producer that apparently Devin Mulvaney... Dillon? Yes, Dillon who somehow got plucked out of the world of trans and wound up asking the president questions in a Q&A session

CHAPTER 03 / 54 Discussion

Dylan Mulvaney Bud Light Partnership Rumors

A rumor regarding trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney becoming a spokesperson for Bud Light is discussed as a potential April Fool's joke that gained too much traction. Reflections on past marketing work for Anheuser-Busch suggest skepticism that the brand would adopt such a polarizing "woke" marketing strategy under its current Belgian ownership by InBev.

dylan mulvaney· bud light· anheuser-busch· marketing· woke culture

05:32 was now a spokesperson for Bud Light and this person is really convinced that it's true. I'm like, you know... And yeah, I saw that thread out as one of those things because I just commented Early on in the thread and I kept it kept up he kept stuck on this This is an example of one of those threads. I had no interest in any of this to Dylan Mulvaney anything No, uh And I can't it takes me a while even remember who this person is It's just an annoying person. It just

06:09 They're just not... I wish it wasn't on the CCC. To me, it's a typical example of an April Fools joke that has gone too far because people say no thats true! Anheuser-Busch was my client for many years. I built Bud.com and budlight.com. I have a hard time believing they would go this woke and decide yeah this is a good idea I agree. Well, you have to know... well, I agree with you but the Budweiser you worked for was Anheuser-Busch? I know they were purchased but it's still the Anheuser-Busch people who are still in charge of the marketing just because the company was bought by the Belgian company InBev yeah anyway But this kind of folds into just one thing that i was astounded by Astounded by a statement from the president on

CHAPTER 04 / 54 Discussion

Joe Biden Transgender Day of Visibility Statement

President Joe Biden issued a formal statement from the White House on March 31, 2023, celebrating Transgender Day of Visibility. The statement drew criticism for its divisive language, specifically targeting "MAGA extremists" for state-level legislation while simultaneously invoking religious imagery by stating transgender individuals are "made in the image of God."

joe biden· white house· transgender day of visibility· maga extremists· image of god

07:10 Was this Friday or Saturday? I think it was Friday March 31st. Yeah, so it was Friday Statement state. This is on Whitehouse gov statement from President Joe Biden on Transgender Day of Visibility now we didn't know this was going on and we did I posted in the newsletter yeah that was on Saturday But this was this the transgender day visibility was Friday. That's how it was Saturday The 31st is Friday. I know that but i thought that the signage that I posted in the news showed they changed the name to the day of visibility became the day of vengeance and it was marked April 1st. The Day of Vengeance is something different

07:58 Well, the day of vengeance was supposed to be Saturday. Well that was Saturday but it was supposed to be the Day of Visibility that they changed to the day of Vengeance. Oh okay well did you read... And then they were gonna change it back after the shooting and then they said no we'd be weenies if we did that and so they took their... I can make gags here, I won't do it Did you read the statement from the president? I did not. We should read it now! I'm just gonna read the top and the bottom. Hey, hey... Made a joke on transgender day of... I thought you'd like that! That's an example of a joke off-the-cuff that you had to say you had actually this like in April Fools you have to tell them you have to say it was a joke And that makes it funny. I just came up with it too On transgender Day visibility we celebrate the strength joy and absolute courage of some of the bravest people I know

08:56 Transgender Americans deserve to be safe and supported in every community. But today, across our country MAGA extremists are advancing hundreds of hateful and extreme state laws that target transgender kids and their families! No one should have to be brave just to be themselves." I mean this is really... Are we sure this is legit? I'm reading it off WhiteHouse.gov so yeah I would say that's legit And then he goes through his whole thing Seriously, I mean to bring in MAGA extremists and to say okay here's this you know and what is MAGA extremist really? What does that mean? Wear a red hat. Yeah exactly And it clashes with the orange shirt. At the bottom this was the most interesting thing To me personally. I want every member of the trans community to know that we see you You're each made in the image of God

09:53 and deserve love, dignity and respect. You make America stronger and we're with you." So you could not have a more divisive inflammatory statement by putting these two concepts into your statement that's really bad That's not the Joe Biden who said he was going to bring people together I don't think So you're actually going on the assumption that Biden wrote this or even knew it was released? Well, okay. Obviously...you know that's an obvious point. Obvious point Now at the same time on April Fools Day I smell Valerie Jarrett by the way Yeah yeah you're right A fantastic website came out Southwoke.com

CHAPTER 05 / 54 Discussion

Southwoke.com Parody and Southwest Airlines Pilot Shortage

A parody website, Southwoke.com, launched on April Fool's Day to satirize Southwest Airlines' corporate culture, featuring mock news stories about Sam Brinton and drag-themed flights. Meanwhile, actual aviation issues persist as Delta Airlines experienced significant flight cancellations in Minneapolis due to a 31-day month pilot hour shortage and severe weather.

southwoke.com· southwest airlines· pilot shortage· delta airlines· sam brinton

10:50 And this was came out on and now this is a whole new twist it came out on April Fool's Day But it's very serious, and it has money behind it. You've got to go to South woke calm This isn't going now does it take off of the Southwest Airlines website? And I mean it is deep professionally done It has videos, it has very funny things like news stories, full-on news stories. Southwoke hires fabulous Sam Brinton as our new baggage czar. I mean really really hilarious stuff. Southwoke goes drag for the children! And then these guys and i think the pilots a pilot's union or pilot organizations behind it they had money they were putting up billboards

11:39 with Southwoke, promoting southwoke.com it is well done! It's very funny and from what I understand from some of our airmen Southwoken Airline is inclusive everyone except you exactly message for myself by the way if I'm not mistaken I could be wrong But in one of the images that they flash across screen, they have all these weird looking stewardesses and stewards. And I think the bald person... The bald non-binary in the middle? I think the head is the head of the CEO. Yes it's his head. It is correct. Yeah very funny. Apparently

12:24 Southwest is losing an average of one and a half pilots per day. They're just leaving, there's plenty of other places to go. Plenty of other airlines need pilots as is witnessed by what happened in Minnesota nuts I know if you might not have heard about it the 31-day pilot month hit again this time was Delta their turn to melt down with 12% of all flights nationwide canceled because, as we know March is a peak month 31 days and that means that pilots run out of hours they don't have enough pilots. Of course the storm in Minneapolis was the impetus but the end-of-month pilot shortage they don't have the slack to recover I mean even Sun Country Airlines which is much smaller you know it's a low cost airline They only canceled I think 4%.

13:22 And that was mainly due to weather. Delta is the airline that prides themselves on being the gold standard for operations integrity, so the breakdown of our aviation system continues...continues. But I thought- This is not good? No! It's not good at all but I thought it was really I really love that southwoke.com and we have very good it's very professionally right yeah a lot of producers work at Southwest or no South and they're all so disappointed with the new management there is even an email floating around that you know but really pissed off pilots who are saying we're leaving which is sad, and they are they're leaving to say screw you! We're not gonna participate in this bullcrap anymore

United States Postal Service Rural Carrier Pay Cuts

Rural mail carriers for the United States Postal Service are reportedly facing significant salary reductions, with some losing $20,000 from their annual pay. These cuts are attributed to new pay algorithms based on scanner data, leading to concerns that the service is being intentionally undermined to benefit private competitors like FedEx and UPS.

usps· postal service· rural carriers· salary cuts· scanner data

14:14 And then maybe, well anyway. Did you get that email about the post office? I got several emails from our mail carrying professionals which is a constitutional gig and the post offices it's in the Constitution. Didn't they have like some enormous amount of funding that went into the post office, the Postal Service? Yeah they do that every so often to get a bunch of money This is from one of our producers. The post office today told the majority, and this is one producer in just one particular area that the rural carriers are updating their salary basing their pay off certain criteria in their scanners you know when they deliver something they scan it and apparently these things don't work half for the time I think I can probably agree with that I've seen it fail many times when something's been delivered

15:08 And so this one producer says he is losing $20,000 from the 70 thousand he was on track to make this year. Now remember these were the heroes who are supposed to be royally rewarded for continuing to work during COVID. That's 20 thousand out of seventy? And of course this was sprung on and this takes effect almost immediately. They'll have to work six days a week now without overtime This seems to be a part of the overall scam that's been going on. Well, what's the scam? Who is running this scam? What's going on with this? Well, it started when they had to pre-fund something like 30 years of retirement in advance which is what put them into arrears even though its a phony baloney deal but it put the post office in the

16:05 kind of in the red and it kept him that way because it's impossible to do that. Nobody does that, and this all been a scheme supposedly that was begun by FedEx and United Parcel to take over their business. And they began years ago. Of course, of course, of course. Oh they're just trying to sell it out? That's your great reset right there! Well this has been at least gone on before we began this show over 15 years ago when it began. I know, Klaus Schwab has been planning this for 15 years! It's a long game but because of the nature of being in the Constitution they can't do anything about it So they're just gonna make everyone quit because they can't live off of that? They haven't been able to get

16:57 Shuttered. Yeah, well this is a good start It's a good start and then one more just on this since we're on kind of that topic That sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen now. I sure hope so. I sure hope so that's nuts. I got talked to Diana She's our mail carrier find out from her how she got affected You know when you have a mail carrier like who you know and who you give a Christmas gift to it doesn't have To be money can we give her money but also Christmas card You know, when there's some piece of mail that needs to be signed for. Yesterday... because we don't go to our mailboxes like down the road it's not at the road itself and I opened up and there's a piece of registered mail and in it a little card you know of course have your green card that they have to sign a little card from Diana saying hey would you mind just signing this and just putting back on the box? And she even clipped her pen to it

NPR Staff Layoffs and DEI Grievances

NPR recently laid off approximately 100 employees, primarily from its overstaffed podcasting division, leading to a tense Zoom town hall meeting. Displaced workers expressed grievances through the lens of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), questioning the racial breakdown of the layoffs and complaining about a lack of marketing support for specific shows.

npr· layoffs· podcasting· union· diversity equity and inclusion

17:53 That's the kind of service you get. She was a waiter in her previous life. No, she's been a mail carrier for like 23 years or something. It's just joke. Anyway... Yes, a joke. I'm glad you explained it make sure you flip up your little red flag So we know that NPR Due to the soft advertising market and the fact that they only get 2% of their money from from government The rest is just ads Call it whatever you want They had to let go of about a hundred employees, of which many were in the overstaffed podcasting department because they all bought into the podcast industrial complex hype. Oh you're on Spotify! Bonanza's gonna be great! Let's unionize!" And so they had a Zoom town hall because people were mad...mad

18:55 Now, a big group of this 100 cannot be fired because they actually organized into union and though it's in a different union outside of the AFTRA Union and the management of NPR recognized it. before this all came down, so now they actually can't let go of those people. But they had all kinds... And so the staff, they're all pissed off! They can't believe it. The nerve! The nerve of letting all these people go. We worked so hard and see if this sounds familiar to you Among the requests, I'm reading from Bloomberg. Among the requests employees wanted to see how much more specific want to see more specific breakdowns around the number or percentage of employees of different races and identities who were laid off rather than those of the remaining employees they also wanted to know more information about their audiences and what the plans would be for hiring a chief content officer and more clarity about how the layoffs were carried out

19:55 So they're now weaponizing DEIs. Are you firing black people? And then my favorite, you'll recognize this the already tense environment boiled over during an exchange between CEO Lansing and a laid-off black employee that employee voiced concern that some podcasts hadn't received marketing support and wondered how a show could gain audience without it Does this sound like what I've always said that you can't monetize the network and you can't have a network of shows because people are always complaining about, I didn't get any promotion. We didn't get enough advertising buys? Sound familiar? Well yeah it's exactly what you hear in publishing especially in book publishing

Neil Rubenking and the DOS in a Can Gimmick

A historical Silicon Valley anecdote describes author Neil Rubenking's attempt to sell a book titled "Guide to DOS in a Can," which was literally packaged inside a metal can. The project failed due to retail logistics and shipping issues, serving as a parallel to modern content creators who blame lack of marketing for their own commercial failures.

neil rubenking· silicon valley· book publishing· marketing· dos

20:46 And I'm always reminded of a friend of mine, haven't seen him for a long time but he did this Neil Ruben King. He did...he did a book called...I think it was called Guide to DOS in a Can. Ha! Dos in a can? I like it. And it was in a can. You could have come up with this idea And so you had to get a can opener to open the can, to get the book out. This is some Silicon Valley lore you'll hear nowhere else I'm telling ya that! Okay... and so it didn't sell well for probably

21:26 I think logistics reasons. You had to ship these cans all over the place and the bookstores didn't know where to put the cans. It's a great idea though! It's a funny idea, and I remember one time I was in Germany sometime...I was at a grocery store which I always go to these grocery stores And they had pickle in a can. And I always thought it was cute. It was like different kinds of dill pickles One pickle in a can A small very small can It was a cute gimmick. I've never seen it before or since, but the book in the can... So Neil did the book didn't do well at all. Nobody wanted these books in a can and so all he did was grouse. I didn't get any marketing support! Oh exactly. Well here's the kicker. One of the podcasts that was very successful that rocketed to the top of the charts everybody was Invisibilia

CHAPTER 09 / 54 Discussion

Invisibilia Cancellation and the High Cost of Public Media

The high-profile NPR podcast Invisibilia was recently canceled despite its high chart rankings and comparisons to the success of Serial. The show reportedly cost over one million dollars annually to produce due to massive overhead, including multiple producers, writers, and engineers, highlighting the unsustainable financial model of corporate podcasting.

invisibilia· npr· podcasting· serial· production costs

22:24 Invisibilia was, yeah they were on the level of what's that comeback show? The true crime drama that brought podcasting back. How come I'm spacing on that? Yeah, Simplify was the name of it... No! Shortfall. No, no, that's not it. SpongeBob. Yeah close but that's not it. Serial. Serial. That's the one So it actually outdid serial a little bit. How much do you think it costs on an annual basis? Invisibilia was canceled, how much do you think it costs on an annual basis to produce invisibilia? More than we take in! Correct one million dollars To produce the show I don't care what you're doing That's not the model of podcasting No The model of podcasting has got to be

23:24 It's cheap. Yes, it's cheap and we of course have perfected the model by accepting value for value which is time talent and treasure so if you build a website or if you turn it off... But if we had 10 employees this model would fail Of course! And all those podcasts have like two or three producers. If we had one extra employee this model would fail, let's be honest. It would yes but 10... Those guys are loaded to the gills they got two or three people that are doing this show they got

24:01 They got engineers, one or two engineers. They've got five producers. Yeah executive producer, line producer. They got a couple writers I'm gonna say they were probably more like 25 people not even 10 you know. It wouldn't surprise me if it was 25 people and they got a studio overhead studio Neumann mics Soundproof unlike, you know here it's like you hear the echo of my room. I can't afford a soundproof room! You really don't have much echo in your room No but still

Media Narratives and Michael Cohen on Trump Indictment

Media commentators and former Trump attorney Michael Cohen are promoting the "Al Capone theory," suggesting that if prosecutors cannot convict Trump on major charges, they will use minor financial records violations. Critics argue this comparison is flawed, noting that Cohen's own legal troubles involved personal financial scams rather than the specific campaign finance issues currently alleged.

michael cohen· alvin bragg· donald trump· al capone· tax evasion

26:55 So somebody told him to do this. So here's what's happening everywhere and I'm gonna play it, I know you have clips and some of them are hilarious the hilarity of this if i were in charge of this political indictment I'd keep it going as long as I could This is humorous, this is great everyone has got something to say people heads are exploding And there's one particular lie blatant lie that keeps getting repeated Bill Maher do it on Friday night. This is France 24 with their correspondent Doug, you know douchebag Doug Listen to the lie that he repeats

27:33 that everyone is talking about. For more analysis, I'm joined on set by our international affairs commentator Douglas Herbert. Hi again. Hello again! Donald Trump his reaction basically has been not to hide from this he's essentially challenging prosecutors to bring it on yeah look you know we just heard that last woman there among those reactions from voters saying basically she doesn't believe much is going to come of this you know Donald Trump time and again throughout as political and even pre-political career as a real estate He has evaded justice and any sort of accountability or reckoning. Factually, he has not been before any sort of court on any sort of charges like this. And he has generally behaved in a way that suggests – that

28:20 the regular rules that would apply to other people don't apply to him and there's nothing to suggest that in this case, that's gonna change. He has weaponized this indictment but you are right there are multiple investigations outstanding against him This is the first in what some believe including his former lawyer Michael Cohen who spent time in prison for helping Donald Trump allegedly he has said he believes it was just a beginning. This is what everyone keeps saying His lawyer went to jail for it No, Michael Cohen as far as I can remember went to jail because he had some scam going with taxi medallions and somehow Michael Cohen even believes this himself

29:03 Or he's squirrely with it at minimum. And he is everywhere, here he is CNN this morning trying to help Don Lemon with his ratings They can coordinate court dates but they don't coordinate indictments and they have to go when they have to where the evidence leads and there are things like statute of limitations or what-have you But technically Fannie Willis in Georgia if she does indict could go first They could coordinate and allow her to go to trial first, and this could go second. This notion of oh this is a weaker case than the January 6th I acknowledge that. January six was in insurrection like we haven't seen in what 150 years in this country but doesn't make this any less of a crime you know? I always call this the Capone theory, the Al Capone theory they couldn't get him on murder extortion racketeering bootlegging etc they got him on tax

29:50 I just love when someone says, etc. They couldn't get him on murder extortion racketeering bootlegging etc they got him on tax evasion if that crime Don was enough for me to be charged fined convicted and sent to prison why am i any different than Donald Trump? Am I mistaken did he get charged for that crime Did I misunderstand? You have to go back and look. This guy's a douchebag from the get-go He's worse than Avenatti who is also in jail Who is in jail Here's a mini, mini, mini cut of Trump.

Mastodon Federation and Secret Instances

A technical discussion explores the mechanics of the Mastodon federated timeline and how following users from different instances affects server visibility. The conversation clarifies that following high-profile users like Craig Newmark on a private instance can still cause content to flow through the broader Fediverse, potentially impacting server "ban lists."

mastodon· federation· no agenda social· craig newmark· social media

30:51 Oh those prosecutors. I gotta tell you one of our trolls just said, oh Cohen's still working for Trump you got it all wrong that's an interesting theory i like that It was a very interesting theory. Very very good. So I have done this whole thing distasteful and what really got on my nerves and I had three clips here Was the especially the New York late-night audiences cheering this as though I know this is some positive step in the direction of the American enterprise that should be cheered. Oh man, did you see? I don't know if you still have an account on our little secret mastodon

31:33 Oh, have you been there recently? I haven't been there recently. I have a lot of those...I'm following a lot of those same people on No Agenda Social. I just tagged them to follow. Okay well that's a good way to get our server on more ban lists How is that gonna work because then then no agenda social stuff flows through to that too or through the Federation Not the way i see it Yeah, you don't... okay. Doesn't matter if I go to that little box and put somebody in and want to follow Craig Newmark for example they show up in my timeline Yes But people that you follow show up in their federated timeline

32:16 It's okay, doesn't matter. But that was the whole point of giving you the secret instance No no I don't believe this is to be true Okay So in other words why would people I follow show up in their timeline? Not on their timeline but in their federated timeline That's how Mastodon works Well, I don't see anybody that they're following in their timeline unless they like their posts. You don't look at the federated timeline? It doesn't matter! I'm just saying it doesn't matter. So let's go to late... this is three clips called Late Night Hate Oh this is the late night talk shows all emanating from New York. I see what you say now No no one's from LA and that's the one who had the mildest applause Kimmel. Oh Kimmel was in L.A., okay lets listen to him first

Late Night Television Reactions to Trump Indictment

Late-night hosts Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon, and Jimmy Kimmel celebrated the indictment of Donald Trump with varying degrees of enthusiasm. Colbert's show featured a standing ovation from the New York audience, which some observers characterized as a manifestation of "mass formation" and a disturbing display of political tribalism.

stephen colbert· jimmy fallon· jimmy kimmel· donald trump· indictment

33:05 never come. We were skeptical, but let me give you some insight on how our jobs work here at this show. Less than two hours ago I'm up in my office working on a monologue. I'm typing about opening day for baseball and a joke about how the people at Cracker Jack spent the whole winter in the dark sharing a can of bumblebee tuna. We had to think about a new nasal spray that will give you an erection in five minutes or your next one is free. And guess what? It's all moot because the J and Donald J Trump now stands for jail. That was the short one. Yeah, that's it yeah okay so let's go to Fallon who really is pretty soft pedaling he found is not like a

34:00 massive Trump hater. He kind of balances it, does a lot of Biden jokes and you could tell that he was actually kinda surprised by his New York audience reaction to this little mention of this- of this little factoid. This part clip too. Thank you very much everybody! Welcome welcome welcome TO THE TONIGHT SHOW! Well, guys it finally happened. A New York grand jury has voted to indict former President Trump for his role in a hush money payment made to Stormy Daniels Wow, I'm so happy They're very happy but nothing compares to this and I left the entire applause in this way And by the way, and then he good. This is Colbert And then he after this law it by the way, this is not just applause on The Colbert Show This is a standing ovation for the indictment of Donald Trump by members of the American public thinking this is the greatest thing that's ever happened to this country

35:10 standing ovation. It goes on and on and on, I play the thing then Colbert does more material which brings in louder and louder applause. I left the rest of it out because it got tedious but here we go. So I'm your host Stephen Colbert ladies and gentlemen today I am feeling a little extra American one reason today is baseball's opening day here in New York It was here in New York, it was 40 degrees but I still ate ice cream out of a baseball helmet. Why? Oh just little something worth celebrating today because literally three minutes before i walked out on the stage here The New York Times reported A New York Grand Jury voted to indict former President J Trump! Suck my ducky! Oh man

36:14 You know, I always...I'm glad when I see Americans happy though. It's nothing man! I'm happy when Americans are very happy. I found this a disgusting moment in American history and the New Yorkers in particular. Did I hear someone go... This is hateful people. Oh yeah! And they're... No, you saw them up there and they showed the uh- They would throw the camera into this audience that's doing a standing ovation for this and they're high fiving each other and patting each other in their- and all these New Yorkers it was I just thought it was kind of sick You know? I'm gonna disagree a little bit there. I think these are human resources who feel very

36:59 They feel very bad about where they're at, where the world is at. They feel bad about themselves. They might be on... Most people are on some kind of drug. They're depressed and it doesn't really matter as long as it's something that can all... It was part of the mass formation. They can all get onboard with something and it's almost like The Wave at the baseball stadium I don't even think they understand Trump has became this thing to be together on for them. And I'm sure there's also, there's a big applause sign and they probably practice you know the... I'm sure the crowd, the warm-up guy probably got them all jacked and ready for it so you know it's—I don't know how organic it was pretty organic but I think these people are just

CHAPTER 14 / 54 Discussion

Rachel Maddow and the Spiro Agnew Comparison

MSNBC host Rachel Maddow compared Donald Trump's current legal situation to the 1973 resignation and indictment of Vice President Spiro Agnew. Critics point out inaccuracies in the comparison, noting that Agnew was indicted for taking literal cash bribes in the White House, whereas the Trump case involves private payments made prior to his presidency.

rachel maddow· spiro agnew· donald trump· bribery· msnbc

37:59 You know, look they're at this show to start with which is a boring show but they're probably excited about being on it. Well I'm in the show! I'm gonna be on camera so you know do they really know what they're doing? No...I think that's simple. Okay okay you can stop. MSNBC though was really off-the-chain it was like stop the presses we are Trump indictment central And actually we got a little bit of analysis from Rachel Maddow, who still does the show apparently once a week. It is true that we have never indicted a former U.S. president before but we did indict a former US vice-president who had only been out of office for about two minutes literally when he was indicted in federal court in 1973 and that case, that Spiro Agnew case did have some remarkable similarities to the reported charges against Mr Trump today

38:52 Notice Mr. Trump, I always love it when they do that, Mr. Trump. And charges against mr. trump today... I would like to know before you continue i'd like to know what the similarities are Spiro Agnew was indicted for taking a literally money in a suitcase bribe In his office. It's the same thing, man! It's exactly the same thing. The same thing. I don't know what those similarities are. Some remarkable similarities to the reported charges against Mr Trump today For example, in Vice President Spiro Agnew's case they charged him with taking illicit payments while he was in the White House. Right In Trumps case it is believed that the charges against him include him making illicit payments while he was in the White House Well that's very similar! That's so much the same everyone is so creative

39:45 My understanding was that his illicit payments came from before he was in the White House. Yes, and came from his attorney not from him It was before he didn't want it to get into the campaign That's why it was done. It was before he was in the White House Fake news! So she doesn't even have that part accurate? Is that what I'm hearing? And while Trump and Agnew were both enormously polarizing and aggressive very hard right politicians... I don't know I'm too young for Spiro Agnew Is that true? Yes, Agnew was yeah he was a smart mouth. He was funny it was funny also was strong and say some crazy stuff oh okay well good and this is the era when I was a Democrat so each of which Oh were you happy with you hooting and hollering when he got indicted we

40:33 Yeah, get that bastard! things that were about being venal and petty, and they're financial charges but in a very small change sort of way. I think taking bribes in the White House is not quite a small thing No, it wasn't at all. And there's some evidence that Nixon did something similar. A suitcase with a million dollars in it was the way it was told but this Agnew thing was just straight up bribe right into his office and nothing compared to being extorted

CHAPTER 15 / 54 Discussion

Frank Figliuzzi and the Lone Offender Narrative

Former FBI official Frank Figliuzzi appeared on MSNBC to warn about "lone offenders" being incited by online conspiracy theories following the Trump indictment. During the segment, host Stephanie Ruhle and Figliuzzi dismissed claims of federal involvement in the Manhattan DA's case as disinformation, specifically downplaying the financial links between George Soros and Alvin Bragg.

frank figliuzzi· fbi· lone wolf· conspiracy theories· msnbc

41:23 Now, let's go to Stephanie Ruhle. You know she is the former Wall Street girl that all the boys in the trading desk loved. plans for large demonstrations as of now. But some on the far right, including Marjorie Taylor Greene are encouraging protests. NBC News National Security Analyst Frank Fugluzzi is with us. He's also the former assistant director for the FBI. Frank you track this stuff what do you think we're in for? What concerns me the most is people riling up loan offenders who loan offenders only have to get it right once

42:05 The FBI needs to get it right every single day. Loan offenders, is this a variation of the loan wolf? Yes it is I think it's the loan wolf they just don't like using that term anymore Those lone offenders are often wound up and worked into a frenzy online. And that starts with conspiracy theorists... Unlike the day of, the trans day of vengeance? Yeah okay. ...and that starts with conspiracy theorists pushing lies they get bigger and bigger Hey, who are you calling a conspiracy theorist? Are you watching for that now because there's a lot of people using the internet to come up with... Is this woman a professional broadcaster she sucks. No she used to be a Wall Street trader

42:53 And I heard from the former New York banker then, you know all the guys at the trading desk they liked her. I don't know what that meant but he said that with confidence. Are you watching for that now because there's a lot of people using the internet to come up with all sorts of explanations that make no sense? It means it means the same way she got this job for what's going on, for an indictment that again is sealed. Yeah chief among the disinformation and conspiracy theories is of course a couple things one the federal government the DOJ somehow has ordered the Manhattan DA to do this that simply is ignorance about how the system works but no one lets facts get in the way of a perfectly good conspiracy theory The other thing that's troubling Wait a minute What was the conspiracy theory?

43:38 I usually come up with them, so I didn't. He donated money specifically to Alvin Bragg and he's making this happen. When the facts are, what we know is that George Soros has never directly donated money to Alvin Bragg but rather to a group called The Color of Change which ended up giving some money to Alvin Bragg but he's never even met or communicated with Alvin Bragg so again I think

CHAPTER 16 / 54 Discussion

Ron DeSantis and the Soros-Backed Prosecutor Debate

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced that his state would not assist in any extradition request for Donald Trump, citing the "questionable circumstances" of the Manhattan DA's investigation. Media outlets like Morning Joe characterized DeSantis's "Soros-backed" rhetoric as anti-Semitic, while DeSantis focused on the constitutional right of states regarding extradition.

ron desantis· alvin bragg· george soros· extradition· florida

44:20 Keep putting the facts out there, counter the disinformation. Now this was kind of just a setup because I knew this was going to happen and I wish i would have mentioned it because we thought they were gone on vacation Of course when you talk about Soros then what always comes back is no that's anti-semitic We are talking about what I've got this covered in my PBS clips on the topic all right, then they pull this stunt. I'll do these two and then you go to PBS How's that sound? I like it okay morning Joe. They really ratcheted up He can't help himself. Ron DeSantis embarrassed himself. Oh wait, let me read the tweet from Ron DeSantis. DeSantis tweeted... The Soros-backed Manhattan district attorney has consistently bent the law to downgrade felonies and excuse criminal conduct yet now he is stretching the law to target a political opponent

45:25 And then he goes up. That's so embarrassing! No, that's anti-Semitic. He embarrassed himself! That's Jew hate. You know what? What? Wait wait... He left out the part where he was naked while doing that tweet. That's the embarrassing part He can't help himself. Rhonda Sanders embarrassed himself by saying he was going to fight extradition charges like he has any say, I mean again one more Republican that really just doesn't give a damn about the Constitution of the United States and of course you gotta... Hold on before we move on So, what DeSantis said is Florida will not assist in an extradition request given the questionable circumstances at issue with this Soros-backed Manhattan prosecutor and his political agenda. So what is the constitutional law about states cooperating with each other when it comes to an extradition request?

46:19 I think that's extra...I don't think that's in the Constitution, so you can...it stays right. You can do what you want. You don't have to extradite anybody Thank you. What's this line? Look at the Soros back now, it's just Jews and they're attacking Jewish international bankers is what Addy's why they're attacking Jewish international globalist bankers there. Hello. Yeah, well it gets better than Jewish International Bankers if Jewish International Bankers is what Addie Semites have been doing for hundreds of years attacking

46:55 Jewish international bankers. That's what they do, they try to blame everything on Jewish international bankers... Do you think he is saying it enough? Is he repeating Jewish International Banker enough and I don't think last time I checked Soros is a banker She's a hedge fund guy at best? Jewish international bankers. That's what they do, they try to blame everything on Jewish international bankers it's Germany 1933 but why does Ron DeSantis further embarrass himself by saying I'm gonna ignore the Constitution and i'm not going to extradite Trump to New York So was it Jewish International Bankers who the Nazis went after in 1933

47:43 Not that I know of. There's another thing, they're all circling the wagon...all these guys! Now I find this distressing. Well wait for Joy Reid to see it. They're all circling the wagons around Soros Who's a creep and he was a Nazi and he'd been he sent his own people to the gas chamber And did so with glee and thought it was the best time of his life. We've got clips of this I love it when you talk about this in a train actually honks its horn in the background Yes, we have this multitude of clip saying that wasn't one of the happiest times of his life

CHAPTER 17 / 54 Discussion

Joy Reid and the Miasma of Dog Whistles

MSNBC host Joy Reid accused critics of Alvin Bragg of using "dog whistles" to suggest that a Black prosecutor is being controlled by a "murky Jewish millionaire." Reid described the political rhetoric surrounding the case as a "miasma" of words meant to trigger the far-right, comparing the current atmosphere to 1933 Germany and the 1950s.

joy reid· alvin bragg· george soros· dog whistle· msnbc

48:22 That's exactly what he said. But we forgot one little extra thing about this, it's not just the Jewish international bankers Alvin Bragg is black. You know, Donald Trump is now bragging that he's raised something like $4 million dollars He's trying to...he sort of out there with a lot of bravado as if he's not afraid at all But we now know that this is going to be a real booking That he's gonna get his fingerprints taken and he's gonna go through what you had to go through Not exactly the same. Cohen again? The same And well it's gonna be very different I mean he is the former president of the United States and there is a certain deference You know I was handcuffed

49:00 Don't forget, I went through that processing twice. Second time with the unconstitutional remand... I'm sorry this is not the one i wanted to play from- This is the one I want to play from Joy Reid My editorial comment is it is a statement without dignity The governor of Florida does not know the facts so he cannot talk about questionable facts in this case He doesn't know them only the grand jury knows and this is a sealed indictment So he's making his statement about something he doesn't know the answer too Apparently everyone else at MSNBC knows what's gonna happen. And throwing out, as you said Andrew dog whistles you know historically this meme this idea among the right that African Americans that black folks who are in positions are controlled by some Jewish overseer who is pulling their strings

49:46 love this she took it to the max so not only is it anti-semitic against Jewish international bankers but you know the bankers they control the blacks come on Joy Reid take it home that's what that statement reads like And perhaps this governor should maybe read a history book to speak because he might not understand what he is channeling But he is channeling an era in American history that is one of the most ugly That he's probably not allowing to be taught in school, but that idea Prosecutor and by the way, it's not just this prosecutor Andrew I'll let you go on this and let you have a final word on it. It was a grand jury that looked at facts

50:26 that looked at evidence and this grand jury took a vote, which is part of our system. And so for the governor of one of our largest states and most important states to throw out a miasma of words- Miasma? That are meant to trigger the far right for his political ambitions that really do sound like that old meme that this black prosecutor must be under the secret control of this murky Jewish millionaire That could be 1950 and it is not dignified. It's beneath the dignity of a governor. I love it, 1933, 1950...I love miasma! This was word that I was no familiar with which is a vaporous exaltation formerly believed to cause disease. Miasma? That's a great word

51:21 Not sure she used it correctly. She didn't use it in the right sentence, that's for sure but so there you go that's what they got! You're anti-semitic you're racist you're igniting horrible things from the past 1933 1950 whoa did that happen when they arrested when they indicted Spiro Agnew? Was everyone all like you know and Spiro Agnew was...what was he What is Agnew? Greek. Yes, did they invoke any of these things any of that no this all recent so PBS did the same apparently they had the same well and they did it they did have more elaborate report there's long go bunch eclipse but I'm good it brings in our friend our new friend the new friend we have an this is the woman Laura Laura something Lopez oh yes she's been the new star he's the one who came out and said that

CHAPTER 18 / 54 Discussion

PBS NewsHour Coverage of Trump Indictment Backlash

PBS NewsHour reported on the "fast and fierce" political backlash following the indictment of Donald Trump, featuring reactions from Republican rivals like Mike Pence and Asa Hutchinson. The report highlighted Trump's claims of a "witch hunt" while noting that the specific charges remain under seal, though they reportedly involve over 30 counts related to hush money.

pbs newshour· alvin bragg· mike pence· asa hutchinson· donald trump

52:21 Joy George Floyd riots in Portland in 2020 were from the right wing there, right? Yes, right, right Right-wing riots. Yes, of course. She's got another one In this little pile of crap that we're going to listen to from PBS, which has gone off the deep end. Gone woke! Yes Let's start with clip one New York City on alert tonight for potential unrest Following the indictment of Donald Trump The first former president To be charged with a crime Mr. Trump previously warned Of potential death and destruction If charges were brought The indictment reportedly includes more than 30 counts stemming from hush money payments allegedly paid to Stormy Daniels during the 2016 campaign. While the specific charges Mr Trump faces are still... I really liked that! I can just see that insert shot of her going, hi everyone

53:12 Yeah, this is great. Well done. Sealed political backlash was fast and fierce Mr Trump slamming Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg as a disgrace and dismissing the case as another witch hunt He's ready to fight his attorney says the former president was shocked by news of the indictment Despite mr.. Trump saying on social media earlier this month he expected to be arrested in connection with the investigation I've never be more angry about a charge because today the rule of law in the United States of America died. Former President Trump's supporters quickly flocked to his Florida home. If we don't stand up for what's right, then we're no better than Venezuela

53:53 And many of his potential 2024 rivals rushed to his defense. The American people will see this for what it is. Former Vice President Mike Pence, who has been critical of Mr Trump's role in the January 6th insurrection said these charges go too far. The unprecedented indictment of a former president of the United States for a campaign finance issue is an outrage and I think it's clear to the overwhelming majority of the American people that this is nothing short of a political prosecution. Florida Governor Rhonda Santis called the indictment un-American and former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson, who previously said Mr Trump should drop out of the 2024 race if he was indicted called the news A Dark Day for America adding that while Mr Trump is presumed innocent The grand jury found credible facts to support the charges For his part Donald Trump spent last night on the phone shoring up support among Republican allies in Congress

54:50 I just love how they all know exactly what the indictment is, but no one knows and we don't really know. They're not even saying people close to the grand jury or familiar with the grand jury's thinking—none of that! And did they mention in this report as you go through your presentation here that Jacob Chansley, the so-called QAnon shaman was released from prison 14 months early? That was mentioned but not in this report. Okay, which is kind of interesting Yeah well they got I think Tucker had to...I think it's Tucker's report that got him out yeah well they obviously knew that they couldn't keep him they couldn't do anything with them

CHAPTER 19 / 54 Discussion

Michael Cohen and the Arraignment Logistics

As Donald Trump prepares for his Tuesday afternoon arraignment on the 15th floor of the Manhattan courthouse, Michael Cohen has publicly stated that the former president is finally being held accountable. The NYPD and other law enforcement agencies are ramping up security in anticipation of potential protests, citing concerns based on the January 6th Capitol incident.

michael cohen· alvin bragg· nypd· arraignment· donald trump

55:33 Anyway, go ahead. All right onward this is legal voodoo you got a misdemeanor that's been made of felony Lindy hop nobody in the history of New York City has ever been prosecuted under this theory except for Donald J Trump hell House Speaker Kevin McCarthy accused the Manhattan DA of weaponizing our sacred system of justice and said house Republicans would investigate Alvin Bragg's actions. As for a reaction from the White House, President Biden choosing not to weigh in as he spoke to reporters this morning. The current president opting to stay out of an active criminal matter while focusing on his own agenda. I decided that really my loyalty

56:16 can no longer be to a man who doesn't deserve it. But the key witness, Michael Cohen who spent hours testifying to the grand jury in recent weeks and previously pleaded guilty to federal charges connected to the hush money payments said Mr Trump is finally being held accountable He's seething right now he is beyond angry he doesn't understand accountability and right now Alvin Bragg has finally put that into his lap Donald Trump is expected to be in court for the first time Tuesday afternoon. When Donald Trump is arraigned on the 15th floor of the courthouse behind me, he'll have to enter a plea on the charges It's not clear whether he'll be handcuffed during that appearance but we know he will be photographed fingerprinted and processed for a felony arrest his legal team is expected to vigorously fight these charges but

57:05 A timeline for a potential trial right now remains unclear. Meantime, we've not seen any demonstrators or protesters today but given concerns about the potential for violence on the scale of what transpired during the January 6th insurrection, The NYPD says it's working with its law enforcement partners at every level of government to prepare accordingly Which they didn't do it January 6th, even though they were given a heads up. Just question besides the hi everybody did they have Stormy Daniels on any in any of these? No I have not seen Stormy Daniels and also in all especially the normal media that M5M left-wing media mm-hmm I would say that there's not one mention or even a showing

CHAPTER 20 / 54 Discussion

Stormy Daniels Times Radio Interview

Stormy Daniels appeared on Times Radio in the UK to discuss her potential testimony against Donald Trump, stating she is not scared to face him in court. Observers noted her erratic speech patterns during the interview, leading to speculation about her state of mind and her effectiveness as a star witness for the prosecution.

stormy daniels· times radio· michael avenatti· donald trump· testimony

57:54 Brags the the DA's when he ran for office going on and on it before he while he was running there He was going to get Trump. That is his promise Times you think that would have something to do with the analysis times radio I've 19 seconds of Stormy Daniels That's the Times in the UK. They had her on and I think, but I don't want to play this 19 seconds when you hear it you'll understand why and she may not be the best witness. I was about to ask how you feel about potentially taking the stand and potentially having to face Trump in court?

58:31 You know, I've seen him naked. There's no way he could be scarier with his clothes on and after what Abenadi put me through last January... Coke! ...you know? I'm not scared. Thank you. Yeah she's coked up man That's cocaine. Even I can hear that. When you start to talk like this, you're just bordering on sounding like Herbert the Frog It is possible if he uses something against your nose it's all clogged up No wonder they don't have sound bites of her She's going to be great on the stand Excellent point This should be great on the stand. Well, you know that he has a tiny penis! Okay now we go to this is more of the PBS but this is actually they've changed from the report now we're going into the analysis and bring in Miss Lopez who's talking about before previously talked about the right-wing riots protesting George Floyd. Yes okay here we go

CHAPTER 21 / 54 Discussion

Ruth Ben-Ghiat and the Authoritarian Playbook Narrative

PBS featured NYU historian Ruth Ben-Ghiat to analyze Donald Trump's rhetoric through the lens of authoritarianism. Ben-Ghiat claimed that Trump's "drain the swamp" slogan was originally used by Mussolini; however, fact-checkers have noted that Mussolini used the phrase literally regarding physical swamps, whereas the political metaphor is considered uniquely American.

ruth ben-ghiat· pbs· authoritarianism· mussolini· drain the swamp

59:34 and First off, this indictment does not legally disqualify the former president from running. So he is continuing to run. But I spoke to a number of GOP strategists who told me that in the short term they believe that this helps Trump because essentially it It requires all of his rivals or would-be rivals to have to respond him, to talk about him, to define themselves in association with him. And now whether or not that extends all the way through the primary into the nomination is a big question. There's a lot of time left on the board. So we've heard repeatedly Mr Trump and his Republican allies calling out what they call the weaponization of the justice system, calling all these investigations witch hunts when you talk to extremism experts in particular? What do they tell you about the implications

1:00:33 Wait a minute, do we have any quotes from said extremism experts? This is a new gig. I haven't heard of the extremist experts. So that language you just mentioned Omna weaponization has been used by Trump as well as House GOP leaders like Kevin McCarthy and Steve Scalise and a number of other Republicans they've also used words like quote persecution witch hunt And I spoke to historian Ruth Ben-Ghi out of New York University today and she diagnosed that victimization Oh, I'm sorry The question was, what are the extremism experts saying? And apparently she's the expert. And then there is some librarian or something she brings into it. She brought in a historian from New York I think NYU Okay so that's the extremists... Alright Well I guess she is but then... I want to play it again It's almost over, let me play it again What do they tell you about the implications of that kind of language

1:01:26 So, that language that you just mentioned, Amna—weaponization—has been used by Trump as well as House GOP leaders like Kevin McCarthy and Steve Scalise and a number of other Republicans. They've also used words like, quote, persecution, witch hunt. And I spoke to historian Ruth Ben-Ghiat of New York University today, and she diagnosed that victimization language. This is talking point of authoritarians to try and get the public to see the forces against them as discredited partisan hacks and thus retain their reputation for being the ones who are going to drain the swamp, which was Mussolini's slogan initially. Okay it's in the show notes yes yes. It is in the show notes this is bullcrap

1:02:17 This Mussolini thing came out of it, Albright, Madeline Albright wrote a book and she threw it in there as a toss away that he did. He did actually say drain the swamps a couple of times referring to actual swamps that needed draining. No you're kidding me! Real swamps? And so PolitiFact, and it's in the show notes had done research on this because it sounded like bull crap to them. And it turned out to be bull crap! Mussolini never used drain the swamps in a sense that Trump did and then they use the term in their little report that this phrase used as Trump uses is all American. American as apple pie is exactly what they said. So this woman who was a historian

1:03:10 who's an expert I guess on some sort of authoritarianism. May i read from her bio? Ruth Ben-Ghiat is a historian who writes about authoritarianism, democracy protection and propaganda she's a professor of history and Italian studies at New York University the recipient of Guggenheim, Fulbright and other fellowships an advisor to protect democracy. And she's an MSNBC opinion columnist so she's not an expert on terrorism or what was it extremism? Extremism but authoritarianism and specifically history and Italian studies and she doesn't even know that this is bullcrap regarding Mussolini

1:03:58 She doesn't want to know. She's a classic, I don't want to call them liberal NYU professor that just kind of lockstep into a certain way of thinking and she's disqualified unless PolitiFact got it wrong which doesn't seem to be the case they were very thorough. She wrote the book Strongmen Miscellany To The Present published in 2020, a look at how illiberal leaders use propaganda corruption violence and machismo and how they can be defeated. Wow! So the point is this is another example to me having done you know I look at it and then other people have I guess because this was very controversial when Madeleine Albright made the claim which is where I think she got this idea

CHAPTER 22 / 54 Discussion

PBS Claims of Trump's Death and Destruction Promises

PBS NewsHour faced criticism for reporting that Donald Trump "promised" death and destruction if indicted. While Trump did warn of potential "death and destruction" as a consequence of the legal action, critics argue that characterizing a warning as a "promise" is a significant journalistic misrepresentation of his actual statements.

pbs· donald trump· death and destruction· political violence· rhetoric

1:04:50 Laura bringing it, Laura Lopez or something. I can't pronounce her middle name is like convoluted. Laura Lopez bringing this stuff in that this PBS has really lost it Oh yeah. Let's play clip four So you heard Ruth say there that those are hallmarks of authoritarian movements and she also said traits of authoritarian movements are attacking the press, attacking judges, attacking prosecutors What about the prospects of political violence here? We've heard Mr Trump calling for protests for a week we saw Jeff reporting there in New York that New York officials are ramping up their security Mr Trump has promised death and destruction if there was an indictment what should we look for ahead Okay

1:05:34 Where did Trump now this is a Laura's thing. This is the host woman mm-hmm when did Trump promise? death and destruction She said she literally said he promised this is a news organization PBS He promised Death and destruction promised it where can we listen again? I want so short. I want to hear it again So you heard Ruth say there that those are hallmarks of authoritarian movements And she also said traits of authoritarian movements are attacking the press attacking judges attacking prosecutors What about the prospects of political violence here, we've heard mr.. Trump calling for protests for week We saw Jeff reporting there in New York that New York officials are ramping up their security Mr.. Trump has promised death and destruction if there was an indictment

1:06:24 What should we look for ahead? Death and destruction! He promised. Now he mentioned death and destruction, warning that anything could happen you have to be careful as it was couched but he did not promise death and destruction this is a lie This is yet another PBS lie. Will people stop giving them money and give us the money? Stop giving them money! Right on. Alright, last clip

CHAPTER 23 / 54 Discussion

Tucker Carlson and the George Soros Dog Whistle

Media analysis continues to focus on the "dog whistle" narrative regarding George Soros's funding of progressive prosecutors. While PBS and other outlets label any mention of Soros as anti-Semitic, others point to the documented financial support provided by Soros's Open Society Foundations to groups that backed Alvin Bragg's campaign.

tucker carlson· george soros· alvin bragg· anti-semitism· open society foundations

1:07:03 So, on that security that New York PD is ramping up. Marjorie Taylor Greene a big ally of Trump, a House Republican said that she's headed to New York on Tuesday for the arraignment She tweeted that today saying she's going there and calling for protests also calling it a witch hunt in her tweet. That also comes, Amna, as Fox's Tucker Carlson on air is he's talking about the indictment is telling his viewers that it's probably not a good time for them to get rid of their AR-15s And it also comes as Trump and a number of his allies have been using dog whistle attacks, anti-Semitic attacks against—when they attack DA Alvin Bragg by saying that he is backed by George Soros who is Jewish.

1:07:51 Hewish? Did she go into it and explain how that is a dog whistle or is that just something we... No, no. It's just kind of goes on and on but doesn't go into any details about how the dog whistle works but there you go again now he can say anything about George Soros because if you do, if you criticize George Soros your being anti-semitic How does that work?! Well I guess you can't criticize Jamie Dimon then either You can't criticize any Jew, I guess. Even though there's now Sergey Brin has been subpoenaed and Michael Ovitz to testify in this JP Morgan case where Jamie Dimon knew that Epstein was paying off sex slaves? I guess we can talk about that then

1:08:44 No. You can't criticize Epstein, isn't he Jewish? You can't criticize Jeffrey Epstein! You're anti-semitic this is bullcrap This is a smokescreen This is the way to cover up and why again I asked the question just the last night that was the last clip I'm asking the question Why are they circling the wagons around Soros what's wrong with this picture What is wrong with public broadcasting He probably funds them too, hello? You want to see how much the Open Society Institute gives to PBS I can only guess.

1:09:23 Even though interestingly Soros is, I mean he's almost dead. No he's not even in the picture and we're just right... It's his son Alex. But the other point is it's not even just open source or whatever it's called Open Society Institute. Open society. It's a bunch of other ones He's got like there's 30 or 40 of these In fact when they mentioned earlier that one of your reports was also from OSI Money through some other operation to to this brag character. This is really pathetic, this is not giving the public what...this is not covering the news at all! This is just covering their ass! It's actually helping Kanye's plight

CHAPTER 24 / 54 Discussion

Lindsey Graham and Glenn Beck's MAGA Pivot

Senator Lindsey Graham made an emotional appeal on Sean Hannity's show, urging conservatives to donate to Donald Trump's legal defense. Simultaneously, former Trump critic Glenn Beck has publicly pivoted to a "MAGA" stance, displaying an autographed Trump hat and signaling a unified front among previously skeptical conservative media figures.

lindsey graham· glenn beck· sean hannity· fox news· maga

1:10:02 In an odd way. A very odd way. Kanye, yeah... Poor guy! Alright let's listen to a couple politicians for a second because Lindy Hop, Lady G was in tears almost on Sean Hannity show So what is behind all this? Hatred They tried to destroy Kavanaugh because they wanted to keep the Supreme Court seat open. They're trying to destroy Donald Trump because they fear him at the ballot box To the conservatives out there, make sure you vote If you got friends make sure they vote if you don't have any friends go make some friends But you need to help this man Donald J Trump Make some friends!

1:10:43 I'm so outraged, I need friends. He says if you don't have friends? Let's listen again. To the conservatives out there make sure you vote! If you got friends make sure they vote! If you don't have any friends go make some friends! If you don't have any friends go find something and make some friends! You need friends! But you need to help this man Donald J Trump That's hilarious They're trying to drain him dry. He's more money on lawyers. Oh, that's I think Stormy did a good job on that they're trying to drain More money on lawyers than most people spend on campaigns. They're trying to bleed him dry Donald J Trump

1:11:24 Go tonight, give the president some money to fight this bullshit. This is going to destroy America We're gonna fight back at the ballot box we're not gonna give in how does this end Sean? Trump wins in court and he wins the election That's how this ends Wow I only saw a little bit of Tucker I think Thursday night because I was curious since it came out during a show day And he had, what's his face? The guy from the blaze on...the black guy who... Black guy from the Blaze. Oh yeah Whitmore. Yeah not Whitmore. The football analyst Jason Whitlock there we go. Whitlock! There we go and he said bullshit

1:12:16 And so there was bullshit twice on Fox. They're listening to our show! You, I mean we tip when we say bullshit it's rare We say bull crap Yeah i just try to say bull crap So do I and bull crap is funnier sounding I mean that's whenever you got Lauren Boberts little comment which is I call bullcrap Right I still think this... I think we have that ISO don't we? or is it be under Boebert? I think this is it. I call bull crap! Yeah, that's funnier but then he had Glenn Beck on... Glenn Beck is a Trump hater am I incorrect has he not always been a Trump hater? It's one of those it's always Mark Levin the great one yeah he was a Trump hater and I think Hannity was too to be honest about because he was at Bush family guy so he would be for Jeb yeah so they all hated Trump and

1:13:12 I'm trying to figure out what of the three of them that hated Trump. Wait, listen did you see what happened? With Beck? Yeah! No... He put on a MAGA hat he said i'm MAGA now and he put on an autograph by Trump which I know is next to his Rush Limbaugh microphone and his studio since I've been there in his display case he had a Trump hat signed by Trump. He ended up with the Rush Limbaugh mic? Well, he says it's the one yeah is it gold-plated? Yeah now that been in this museum he has some crazy stuff at his museum he's got all kinds of stuff from presidents and

CHAPTER 25 / 54 Discussion

Elizabeth Warren on Due Process and Democracy

Senator Elizabeth Warren appeared on CBS to discuss the Trump indictment, emphasizing that "no one is above the law." Her comments drew scrutiny for suggesting that Trump has the "opportunity to bring forward whatever evidence he wants" to prove his innocence, which critics argue misrepresents the American legal principle that the burden of proof lies with the prosecution.

elizabeth warren· donald trump· due process· democracy· indictment

1:13:53 Yeah, he looks like a hoarder. Well he's a hoarder but he has a guy to write it down and arrange it so that you know that's called the museum. A hoarder with a manager okay? So and that to me was like whoa there's Beck going all MAGA! That was very interesting So now let's hear from CBS and that will kind of wrap it up for me I think. Elizabeth Warren we need to have another politician on, here she is. As we've been saying all morning unprecedented uncharted territory, unprecedented motions

1:14:31 What was your reaction when you heard? That no one is above the law, not even a former president of the United States. You know this is very sober time for our country. A real moment in history. She's smart here and yet I think the most important part of this is to say that a foundational piece of our democracy is holding that it is possible to have an independent investigation, to go wherever the facts lead and then follow the process through. And that's going to mean following it all the way through including assuming there is an arrest if there's a trial Donald Trump can plead not guilty he can bring whatever evidence he wants We know this in school we're always taught no one is above the law Isn't that interesting how she also kind of eludes to the fact that he can prove he's not guilty? Isn't that interesting these people are nuts

1:15:22 He can prove that he's not guilty. That's not how it works! But is that some kind of evil conditioning that has now come into play? I think you may have stumbled onto something... It happens from time to time. Because I hadn't noticed any of this, but now that you mention it is kind of a...I wouldn't call it NLP but it's definitely some sort of conditioning where you're guilty until you can prove yourself innocent! Let's listen in the next clip from her Why are no Republicans saying this? We hear Lindsey Graham saying this as legal voodoo political persecution political hatred that this is all about a political witch hunt why are there no Republicans not one

1:16:01 saying that no one is above the law, that this is all about politics. It's hard not to see a political lens on this, is it not? I can't answer for the Republicans. I can only answer for myself and For myself, it's about backing off and letting the system work trust in the process There is no reason to believe there's been anything other than an independent investigation It's walked through all the steps it is a grand jury according to the evidence released that have evidence release they've what have you seen any evidence released This is, this is she's doing some kind of psyop here.

1:16:46 And we will go forward with that process and that process offers plenty of opportunity for Donald Trump or anyone else accused of a crime to bring forward whatever evidence they want, to use whatever part of the legal system they want. But we follow the law for everyone because it's foundational in our democracy. Wow! I remember sitting in class... Wow wow wow wait before what's-her-face goes into remember sitting in class she does it again here It's foundational to our democracy. You can bring anything you want, you can follow... I'm gonna play that again! You could follow the law and bring anything you want to prove your innocence. No Pocahontas!

1:17:30 And we will go forward with that process and that process. That process is school mom is going to explain that process now offers plenty of opportunity for Donald Trump or anyone else accused of a crime, to bring forward whatever evidence they want to use whatever part of the legal system they want but we follow the law for everyone because it's foundational in our democracy. I remember sitting in class hearing this. Foundational! Everybody gets treated the same. But this is the thing that's so concerning, Donald Trump is calling for, in his words death and destruction he's calling for his allies to rally behind him He's asking people to please speak up, please show out

CHAPTER 26 / 54 Discussion

Burden of Proof and the Brennan Doctrine

The discussion critiques the shifting public perception of legal standards, where political figures suggest defendants must prove their innocence. This is contrasted with a clip of John Brennan stating people are "innocent until alleged to be involved in criminal activity," a phrasing that critics argue dangerously undermines the actual constitutional standard of "innocent until proven guilty."

john brennan· burden of proof· due process· legal standards· innocence

1:18:09 I find this, this is truly abhorrent for Elizabeth Warren. Actually, I wouldn't have called...I'm glad you got this because you're onto something because what she said in fact in fact You don't have to bring anything to prove your innocence at all! You do not have to bring a single thing. You could just sit and plop yourself down And if they can't prove your guilty you're out of there But this isn't to prove anything If you didn't do anything and they can't prove he did? Is she not a professor of law This is really, I think you've stumbled on something that's very very bad. It's dark and let's just as a reminder...I hate to play this clip over and over again but it goes right back to good old John Brenner Former director of CIA People are innocent until alleged to be involved in some type of criminal activity So your innocent until allegedly guilty of some kind of criminal activity

1:19:09 Have they all no I can't believe there was a meeting and they said hey, I got an idea This is all organic but how does that happen? How does that happen? Well, I got one more clip. Are you worried about violence in the street? Dangerous rhetoric, yeah. Yeah it's very dangerous. I'm very concerned about that It is dangerous and violence is never the answer this is part of the reason we have a court system so that we don't resolve these things. Are you worried about it are you worried about it? I always worry about violence but again I think that's why it's important for as many people as possible to take a deep breath, to be calm, to step back and say this is one more step in the legal process. Donald Trump is going to have plenty of opportunities to make his case in open court and the prosecution will have the same opportunity let the process go forward no one is above the law Wow wow

1:20:12 So their star witnesses are Michael Cohen, the guy who says... Etc and this chick I've seen him naked he's a lot as though he could be scarier with his clothes on and after what Abenadi put me through last January You know, I'm not scared. Trial of the century! I can't wait to watch it Well, I know you played that Stormy Daniels clip twice but for that one giving your borderline clip of the day Thank y'all take it And with that I'd like to thank you for your courage. In the morning, to you the man who put the DOS C in a can please say hello my friend on the other end ladies and gentlemen Mr John C Duffy!

No Agenda Episode 1543 Production and AI Art

The hosts acknowledge the production of episode 1543, titled "Digital Dementia," and discuss the cover art provided by Darren O'Neill. A debate ensues regarding the use of AI-generated art versus human-created work, with the hosts reaffirming their preference for human talent and their skepticism toward the "tool" of artificial intelligence in creative spaces.

It should it's a good term

1:23:17 We want to thank Darren O'Neill who brought us the artwork, the No Agenda Electronic Brain AI-powered which was I mean you said right off the bat this is the one. Yeah I went to let the dog out... Well I had to do that right off the bat because you hate Darren. Oh I do hate him it's true it's true this is fact Well, I went over it because you had to take a break and the ones that I like was Pause AI by Fletcher which I used for the newsletter. I just thought it was cute but you couldn't read the thing and... But it was obvious that Darren's piece

1:23:53 He just got into his mind to do this with that one of those stupid games. I remember those. Yeah, what was that game? You had to touch something and you had to match it with something else and showed how a circuit worked Yeah, it was just some dumb thing but it was I guess educational at the time. It was retro man! It was truly retro and the piece was done with a yeah he had this...I don't know where he got that art but I'm sure didn't draw it. No, I'm sure he stole that. But it's a classic. Comics for Blogger didn't call him out as stealing so well because he probably couldn't find it. I also like The Electric Brains by Melvin Gibstein

1:24:37 And he it's just you couldn't read the best podcast in the same Singularity. Oh, right, right, right? Right, right. It was a good piece Yes That was a good piece and there was another one people had some good AI stuff which I think we pulled apart appropriately. And of course comic strip blogger did. Identity crisis, AI generated so not stolen come on AC don't be anti-AI I'm very anti AI and we can see it right away So if i can see it We're not gonna use it Well it wasn't a good piece anyway No but If we could see it, hear it, smell it...we're not using it You know? We are against that! We like human beings Don't call it a tool Not a tool

CHAPTER 28 / 54 Discussion

AI Voice Cloning and Trump Impersonations

The conversation turns to the rise of AI voice cloning, specifically regarding a short film sent by a producer featuring AI versions of Biden and Trump. The hosts argue that while AI can mimic vocal tones, it currently fails to capture the specific cadence and linguistic nuances of Donald Trump, making deepfakes relatively easy for attentive listeners to identify.

ai voice· donald trump· joe biden· deepfakes· snyder cut

1:25:22 At all. Now, of course if a you know, a seronimous of Dogpatch and Lois Lobovia sent me an email And by the way I have to apologize i'm not quite sure what happened somehow we We repented for giving out the incorrect code his donation number 2254 Then we had said 2252. I'm not sure what happened but the original show something I had a crash of my editing software and there was a gap. And, I think that gap contained the actual coded number so it's 2254 in case that is important for world peace but he pinged me and he said how are you guys going to feel about when AI starts using bits of your show? Great! We've always encouraged that. We have lawyers. No we're not gonna sue anybody

1:26:17 I think we should if AI is stealing it and making it its own. But, if they're promoting our show with that I have no problem... You think that's gonna happen? I don't see the promotion of anything for what AI has done! They don't reference anything they don't promote anything they don't say where the material came from Right now it's only from Wikipedia or mostly from Wikipedia which is open source. I would be thinking about a piece of audio, that's what i would be thinking Well a piece of audio that goes on and on about something and then they credits it to someone else? I don't think that's... No if they credit it to someone else that's a problem of course That's what it'll do Show me the first here because you know Sir Gene is all in on AI. Oh! So good

1:27:02 And I forgive him. Sir Eugene is now the poster boy for AI! I forgive him, I forgive him for this. So he sent me this short movie made by AI and it's the end of the world of course it's AI and then they have a Biden voice in there which actually wasn't too bad and then they come in with Trump Oh man, it's so bad. I defy any AI to do a perfect Trump. It cannot be done and it's not just how he sounds, it's what he is saying. I can smell that and hear that a mile away. I don't think AI will ever be able to do... Even actors can't do it! There are very few who they can get the voice kind of right – the guy in SNL

1:27:50 He comes very close, but you can hear it. We're not going to be fooled by this! People getting fooled by Dylan Mulvaney with Bud Light? Okay that's on you why are you watching that at all anyway I digress other things we looked were... I kind of liked the...we didn't even talk about Francisco Scaramanga with a slow AI curve I like that one, but I only saw that later and I didn't fight for it. But it probably still would have lost out to the electronic brain which is just a dynamite piece we thank you Darren O'Neill And Darren has not hit one for awhile He's not hitting it I think a couple years ago he did the most all year He has not been hitting it lately poor Darren

Executive Producer Ben and Concrete Construction

A producer named Ben, who works in commercial concrete construction, contributed $1,000 after hearing a host on the Joe Rogan Experience. Ben's note introduced the term "buffalo feathers" to describe mainstream media misinformation, and he was granted a "de-ducing" while he considers a formal knight name for the roundtable.

1:28:43 Well, the competition is gone. It's stiff through the roof it is stiff So no agenda art generator commas where you can follow along where you can always even if you're listening live? It's cool to do that But of course If you want you can get that modern podcast app it'll show you a whole bunch of these in the chapters also something You don't get on legacy apps So that's the time and talent portion. For treasure, we go to our executive and associate executive producers kicking it off with right off the bat with a $1,000 donation from another dude named Ben and he sent in a handwritten note And I will read some of it It's quite long Adam & John sorry this donation is so long to find you I've been listening close to three years now I find your show informative and refreshing

1:29:34 a refreshing voice away from the mainstream media who have been pumping us full of buffalo feathers for quite some time. I like buffalo feathers! Let me write that down... Is that a term? Buffalo feathers?! Not that I know of, but it is now. I like it! Buffalo Feathers... Okay, Buffalo Feathers. I finally decided to quit procrastinating and donate after hearing Adam speak on the JRE episode a few months ago. Uh, I commend you for you taking a stand as a follower and brother in Jesus Christ." And he goes on, he says—and actually he says something interesting—he says, "'I wish that Joe could become could become a Christian.' I said well you should pray for him

1:30:14 So we really appreciate it and he says, thank you very much from another dude named Ben. This one in commercial concrete construction and we love our dudes named Ben they are the ones that keep the world alive and very much appreciate it And I don't know did he get... He didn't ask for a knight name? He didn't ask for a knighting? Did he get put on the list? He's not on the list, and I want to wait so he should probably give us a knight name. I don't even know if he realizes that he can be knighted and i'd like him to do that So for now I'm going to give him a deduce You've been de-duced And please write back to us and let us know what you would like to be and what your round table rewards are etc Thank you very much we really appreciate it

Sir Scotland The Brave and Vaccine Injury Story

A producer from Scotland, knighted as Sir Scotland The Brave, shared a detailed account of suffering pericarditis and a subsequent heart attack following COVID-19 vaccinations. Despite his initial hesitation, he was pressured by medical consultants using the mantra "correlation does not imply causation," leading to his current medical status where vaccines are now strictly prohibited for him.

vaccine injury· pericarditis· nhs· scotland· astrazeneca

1:31:06 Since you're in the mood for reading, I think you should read the next note. Nairobi Dino from Aberdour Scotland he said and that's $334. You may recall my first donation back in March of 2021 from hospital not the hospital when I had periocarditis from the first vaccination and you played the end-of-show mix there's no AstraZeneca in Spain to the tune of Three Dogs Night never been to Spain, I was listening to this at 430 in the morning in my hospital room and I laughed so hard the nurse came in wondering what was wrong with me? The The irony was too much, I had to laugh and of course that healed him immediately.

1:31:47 Oh no, unfortunately following that medical episode although I was very hesitant my cardiac consultant assured me and insisted i should get a second vaccination saying the mantra... Goodness. Wow! Don't laugh at him that's not fun that's not nice oh brother oh my goodness well the first one didn't kill you just try number two come on yeah can do it what's the worst that could happen? I see. Saying the mantra the NHS uses regarding people being negatively affected by the vaccine, quote, correlation does not imply causation! I can just hear him say it already. On receiving a second vaccine...I had a heart attack! Oh man, this is no good why am i laughing? You are sick to be laughing at this poor man. I have had three in total following the second vaccination oh my goodness now they have on my medical notes NO VACCINES

1:32:44 Something that the No Agenda show was saying all along. Sadly, oh this is no laughing matter now... Oh okay and although I am recovering well I regret ever taking the vaccine and I wish I'd listened to you the best podcast in the universe so in light of me being a numpty and not taking your advice please deduce me You've been de-dooched We should mention we've never given advice like that Never given advice? Never. All we do is present evidence, the facts of the matter. Yep and you can just make your own damn decision there's plenty of people that listen to this show they've gotten the vaxxed they've gotten it if they feel fine they have no problems with it and there's plenty of other people right off the bat for example our friend up there in I guess he was in Denver the paramedic who took the vaccine early on we just read his report! That's right

1:33:36 We do not give medical advice on this show. He's in Boulder, no we do not that's correct so he deduced him he says he'd like some yak karma for good health and he said could just for one last time please please please could you play we told you so on No Agenda even though we didn't tell you so I'll do that by request. And he says, could you possibly play There's No AstraZeneca in Spain at the end of the show? Yes, I will it's in the mix and that is from Professor JJ, Professor John who is in China And that was one of his better ones. He sent many, many, many that have never made the show and that was what they did with this donation I am so proud to join the roundtable and would like to be knighted Sir Scotland The Brave! And we're asked to have haggis neeps and tatties at the round table. You've got... There you go. Karma. Brother health karma for you man Health karma for you

Value for Value System and Nimitz Freeway Accident

The first half of the show concludes with a final thank you to executive producers and a reminder of the "Value for Value" model. An observation is made regarding a major traffic jam on the Nimitz Freeway (I-80), speculated to be caused by a severe pothole, prompting a satirical comment about U.S. infrastructure funds being diverted to Ukraine.

1:41:39 Uh, Sir TJ the Wrathful hit me in the mouth a year ago. Please de-douche me! You've been de-douched It was Sir T...TJ The Wrathful Okay I'd also like to ask for General Karma from my family some baby making karma for Sir TJ He is trying to catch up in the number of human resources as a competition Does he need more? I think he already has three Alright good to go thank you very much You've got karma And that is our executive associate executive producer we have the number of other Donators is low enough that we can read them all now. Oh, I thought no I thought we're gonna do a second break It's too it's actually shorter than most of our second break But then I still got nights and birthdays and meetups Yeah, why don't you them in the second break? Let's do a second break Okay, I'm telling very short second break

1:42:38 This was top heavy today. Yeah, well I want the bottom... The bottom will even it out because we got a lot of birthdays and we've got meetups and all kinds of stuff. And to make good so let's do that Sounds good. Okay, all right! Thank you very much to our executive and associate executive producers we very much appreciate what you've done here these are of course forever credits You can use them anywhere credits are recognized It's the real deal go look at IMDB you can put it there you could put in your resume In fact if seems to work better than pronouns I'm reliably informed if you'd like to know how to become a knight I mean well that as well or an exec or associate executive producer Go to our donation website

Shut Up Slave Should mention that there's been some horrible accident. I suppose on the Nimitz freeway highway 80 Because it's been stopped dead for the last time stop dead hmm for the last 10 minutes a huge jam up And I was hearing a bunch of skidding earlier, and I figure what happened is well I'm just guessing because you can't see down the road where it where it was somebody hit a pothole roof oh

CHAPTER 34 / 54 Discussion

WHO Pandemic Treaty and New Vaccine Guidelines

The World Health Organization (WHO) has issued new guidelines stating that healthy children and teenagers may not require COVID-19 vaccinations, contradicting current CDC recommendations. Analysts suggest this shift might be a "trap" to build public trust in the WHO ahead of a proposed pandemic treaty that could grant the organization significant authority over national health policies.

1:44:16 Probably flipped a car. One of your main complaints? After hitting the pothole, probably another car hit the pot there and it probably crashed in midair and now this whole thing stopped. That's horrible! We're spending all our money on fixing potholes in Ukraine I want to...I got two clips here. Clip Custodian sent these to me from Fox and I think is a trap being set here Dr. Jeanette Neshewat, I think is her name came on to discuss. You know there's a there's been a lot of concern about the World Health Organization and the so-called treaty, The World Health Organization Treaty that all countries are signed...that have actually already signed onto but there's

1:45:00 an update that we've discussed it and it's being discussed. The actual vote failed once, but they're going to come back to it. And the idea is that the World Health Organization would have complete control over our health services in the West because of course they are mainly China-controlled and Bill Gates all the same thing. So what we know from what deconstructed about this treaty is that it does not need to be ratified the way the language will be written because the treaty were all United States is already a member of the treaty as are the EU

1:45:41 And so they can just add to it if they vote on that themselves and it can just kind of be slipped in. It is my belief... Wait, wait this like a you're telling me there's a treaty out there that's like a EULA? Where in there it says we can change this at any time without notice? That's a very good analogy yes! Well and it doesn't need to be ratified again Yes, it is like a eulogy. That's my understanding I'm not a lawyer. I'm not a doctor. I'm certainly like Dr. Jeanette It is my belief that they are setting a trap by calming everybody certainly the people who would be concerned about that which would be the people who watch Fox News and And they're probably lying to us so I wanted to play these two clips so we can figure out what's going on

1:46:24 All right, what is your reaction about what the WHO has said? They're saying that healthy children and teenagers probably don't need the COVID vaccine. They say the traditional shots are more important. Yeah that's right so the World Health Organization is coming out with their new guidelines they do say if you're still high risk to get a booster every six months to a year but when it comes to age six months of age and up to 17 years of age that's not recommended for most young teenagers. And that makes sense, kids they are the lowest risk group when it comes to severe complications with COVID and on top of that we've reached a level of population immunity many children more than 88 percent have already had COVID so they have that protection from natural immunity and many of them also have had vaccines so when you combine protection

1:47:12 from vaccination protection, from infection and reinfection you're at low risk. And it makes sense that you don't need to have that additional shot unless you have any underlying medical circumstances but is it a significant public health benefit to vaccinate toddlers? At this point the answer is no! So this to me is the setup they're telling you hey the World Health Organization is actually kind of saying something good They're not saying what the CDC is saying, they're not saying what the FDA is saying. They say no you shouldn't do that! There are a lot of parents who don't want their children vaccinated What do you think this means for the fall? When schools go back into classes and our children get back into classes Do you think that schools will take this information and use it to tell them they don't need to be vaccinated I hope so. I hope the CDC follows the recommendations of the world

1:48:01 Like for example, the World Health Organization said do not mask children. Yet our CDC said mask our children so I do hope they follow suit and understand that the children are the lowest risk group and we should not you know in place on them all of these restrictions and guidelines let them be free let them live let them develop that natural immunity with all the other viruses that are out there. What's she saying? She says just let them live. Let them live! Just let the kids live already Do you understand what I'm saying? They're making it sound like, oh our CDC. Even though the World Health Organization is saying something... Yeah they're saying oh they're stricter and you don't have to- I think this is a setup and we are all going to be like, Oh you know our CDC is just a bunch of dicks but wait until that new treaty, the new EULA is in place Just saying that felt little trappy to me.

CHAPTER 35 / 54 Discussion

Rand Paul Questions Antony Blinken on Wuhan Research

Senator Rand Paul confronted Secretary of State Antony Blinken regarding the State Department's refusal to release records related to U.S.-funded coronavirus research in China. Despite a personal assurance from Blinken and a unanimous Senate vote to declassify COVID-19 origin data, Paul alleges the State Department continues to withhold unclassified documents from the American people.

1:48:58 I guess if I had those clips too, but you didn't see it that way. Oh Do you still see it? Do you still see differently? No, it's just right That's an interesting thesis. I'm not gonna get to disagree with me I'm not gonna disagree. I have some Colby clip since we're on the topic. Okay good. I hope that's about all I had of Kovac Well, my COVID who news no booster is the same as what you played. Okay But I got a kick out of listening to Rand Paul go after After blinking Abe okay This is right this went on for 10 minutes and I took about oh looks like it took about

1:49:42 four minutes out of it with three clips and I get there was some good stuff in here, but I tried to get the best of it Let's listen to him go after blinking right off the top here Rand Paul versus Blinken on September 12th and November 7th of last year. I sent letters to the State Department asking for records about coronavirus research that had been funded by the State Department State Department refused to comply When Assistant Secretary Sherman came, I asked her the same question. She didn't seem to be aware that you had been funding coronavirus research but you are and i got the I'll get back to you line a couple weeks later I met personally with you at the State Department and ask you the same question

1:50:22 Will you not divulge to us the records of State Department support for coronavirus research, particularly in China? You assured me you would help. We communicated several times over the phone with another assistant secretary of state who finally sent us a letter and said no we're not going to give anything so that's where we stand and it's my question is what's the State Department hiding why won't you give these records to the American people Senator, thank you. And yes I appreciated you raising this when we saw each other a month or so ago and my understanding is that our teams have been working to find an accommodation there's long-standing We got a refusal blanket refusal no they are not going to give us records um...we cannot directly provide the sure you can

1:51:08 I'm Our team's been working on that and I commit to continue to do that so we can get you the- We're talking about unclassified material. Most of this is unclassified, and so we just had a unanimous vote in the Senate and in the House And President Biden just signed a bill saying he's going to declassify stuff But if you declassify it and still hide it from the American people That's a problem

CHAPTER 36 / 54 Discussion

USAID and Gain-of-Function Oversight Debate

The debate over viral research transparency continues as Senator Rand Paul highlights the role of USAID in funding projects that may involve gain-of-function research. Secretary Blinken maintained that the specific programs in question were not engaged in such research, while Paul argued that without access to the grant proposals, Congress cannot perform proper oversight.

usaid· gain-of-function· wuhan· transparency· oversight

1:51:48 Oh really? We don't see it that way. That's not a problem, you don't need to know anything shut up pleb! So of course this isn't being covered by anybody except the OHS. Yeah they made a big fuss as you noticed in fact we have another big fuss that we mentioned on the last show that somebody clarified for us which is the authorization for military use of force They kicked out two of them, but they left in the 2021 version which is the most important one. No the 2001. No it's a 2021 or I'm sorry yeah i have to do that note after reading no but let's get back to this I'm sorry we're getting off topic But this is an example though where everyone grandstands with all passes are going to release all these documents and then they don't release anything! Oh why bother with little people?

1:52:44 Yeah, screw us. Okay that's part two this is part two which introduces the USAID into the picture I mean we spend all of this time lambasting authoritarians and for lack of transparency We have these silly networks on TV they're aligned with a Democrat party saying democracy is under attack What do you think? Transparency has something to do with democracy Nice You're refusing to give records on research, money that went for research. We want to read the research grant proposals we want to read what the people in Wuhan sent back to the State Department saying they did which viruses did they create because the thing is it sounds all great were going to identify all of the viruses in the world

1:53:25 But part of what they do is they take a virus, they found 200 feet down in the cave and they mix it with another virus to create a virus that doesn't exist in nature because they say that's how we're going further identify. There's a big debate this should be had whether that safe? To take a virus from 100 feet down at Bat Cave 12 hours out the Wuhan and take it to a city of 10 million And yet you won't help us investigate this You refuse and it makes... It is reminiscent of the countries we criticize for lack of transparency and yet you sit there and say very important debates that certainly go beyond my knowledge and expertise, for example on gain of function. That I know there's a vigorous debate about whether the risk outweighs the reward. I don't have the expertise to do that... But how do we have oversight or investigate it if you won't give us direction? So the program in this instance USAID was involved in was not engaged in gain-of-function

1:54:29 Wow, this is so deep. They are waffling so bad on it's a huge mess and you got to think that this is level Kennedy killing cover-up Oh yeah It's really bad jeez Now the last clip which I don't see on here unfortunately would discusses the fact that they that the, there were some leaked documents. I have to get those and put them back in here. I don't know what happened to them. Oh it's too bad. Um yeah well we got this with it... Well what I was gonna say is actually go ahead because I want him change topic uh let this last let's play this because this is COVIDVAC CDC corruption new

CHAPTER 37 / 54 Discussion

CDC Safety Signals and Adverse Event Reports

Internal CDC files obtained via FOIA by The Epoch Times reveal that the agency identified over 700 safety "signals" for COVID-19 vaccines as early as May 2022. These signals included risks of acute heart failure and death, leading Senator Ron Johnson to accuse federal health agencies of ignoring their own surveillance systems since early 2021.

cdc· epoch times· freedom of information act· adverse events· pfizer

1:55:14 And the CDC now says it knew about safety irregularities for the COVID vaccine earlier than we thought. Here's the story. The Epoch Times this week published files obtained from the CDC via a Freedom of Information Act request, the file show that in May 2022, the CDC found more than 700 signals that the vaccines could cause adverse events Such adverse events include acute heart failure and death. It was previously thought the CDC detected the signals in July 2022 when the CDC conducted its first analysis, employees identified more than 200 signals for Pfizer shot and 93 signals for Moderna's vaccine

1:55:53 Senator Ron Johnson, the top Republican on the permanent subcommittee on investigations said federal health agencies have ignored the flashing alarms of their own safety surveillance systems since early 2021. They have ignored my oversight letters and lied about what analyses they have performed it is well past time for the American public to be told the truth isn't it great that we have this Trump indictment while all this stuff is taking place Yeah, coincidence. This is why you got to listen to the Your No Agenda show so at least can keep track of what they're doing to us and now there's something bad going on in Candanavia as well this is the Bill c11 which we've discussed many times or certainly bill c10 which was the first I think it's called the online streaming act What this does is gives the CRTC that's the Canadian regulatory

CHAPTER 38 / 54 Discussion

Canada Bill C-11 and Online Streaming Act

The Canadian Parliament passed Bill C-11, the Online Streaming Act, which grants the CRTC regulatory authority over audiovisual content on the internet, including podcasts and social media. Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre has condemned the bill as "creeping totalitarianism" and a threat to freedom of expression, vowing to dismantle the expanded bureaucracy if elected Prime Minister.

bill c-11· canada· crtc· pierre poilievre· censorship

1:56:51 body that oversees radio and television, so I guess in a way like our FCC. But it's now expanded to cover all audiovisual content on the internet including TikTok, YouTube Spotify podcast clients! Good how about that? You better get a new podcast app now people Especially if you live in Canada because they're gonna try and I mean they can't but they will, they will censor maybe even no agenda on Spotify and Apple. And Apple and Spotify will comply as well YouTube and everybody else under Bill and this passed on March 30th

1:57:34 Under Bill C-11, all platforms hosting audiovisual content that are not specifically excluded must make financial contributions to producing officially recognized CanCon. Currently defined as 1980s era point system built around legacy media broadcast media I'm not quite sure exactly what is going on but Pierre Paul-Paul, he says his name. He was very upset and he put out like a TikTok emergency broadcast! And I wonder if you... Oops this one here Hi everyone Pierre Polyev here there's just an emergency here in Parliament Hill the Liberals have just announced that they're shutting down debate they're censoring debates on their censorship bill we just got the notice right now as you know they've been trying to censor the internet

1:58:26 Canadian artist Margaret Atwood is called creeping totalitarianism. So give Trudeau's woke bureaucrats over at the CRTC the power to control what you see and say on the internet I'm just rushing into the House of Commons lobby right now conservatives are the only party fighting back But as you can see, this closure is now being brought right before us. Right now, you'll see right here the online screening act They're bringing in what's called closure which shuts down debate and rams the bill through in record time Only conservatives are fighting back against this censorship bill We believe you should have the freedom to decide what you see and say online

1:59:08 I need you to immediately sign my freedom of speech petition. The link is right before you click, sign immediately Let's bring home freedom! I want to give you back control of your life and make this the freest country on earth It's common sense let's bring it home now So if i understand correctly what is still under debate are some amendments that may or may not go in and a little unsure of the timeline so I do have a one minute clip of the, I guess the liberal party saying hey man Why don't you, what's wrong with you? What's your problem? What's your problem with woke and the same Pierre here politician Pierre takes a stage. And I wonder if he would like to kind of backtrack or apologize on characterizing the CRTC as this small group of privileged insiders closest to the Prime Minister. But I would also ask him if he would like to define the word woke. I asked one of his colleagues for that definition and I'd like to see what he has to say thank you

2:00:10 Actually, I will backtrack. It is a big group of insiders, Madam Speaker! It is a big sprawling bureaucracy with far too many people working for it There will be less people working for the CRTC when I'm Prime Minister because they'll have less power and they'll have a helluva lot less to do when I restore freedom of speech and freedom expression online and on the internet And as for the definition of woke There you go. Same goes for the US and everywhere else where WOC is in play

CHAPTER 39 / 54 Discussion

Supercells and Climate Change Modeling

Atmospheric scientist Walker Ashley discusses a study modeling the future of supercell thunderstorms in the United States under various greenhouse gas emission scenarios. The research suggests a potential doubling of supercells in the Mid-South and Ohio Valley, while predicting a slight decline in the traditional "Tornado Alley" of the Western Great Plains.

supercells· climate change· tornadoes· northern illinois university· greenhouse gas

2:01:05 I'd like that. He said that within 40 seconds, that was pretty good. Yeah nailed it We had some pretty bad tornadoes yeah, I have some weather reports Oh, let's give me the weather reports well This is a this is interesting because I have a contrasting series of clips first I have Tornadoes and climate change because that's what they bring up on PBS I have a two-parter there and then that, I follow that with an old classic clip from 1953. Oh okay let's hear the PBS version... And as the cleanup begins more than 200,000 people across five states remain without power

2:01:44 Oh no. For more on these storms, Walker Ashley of Northern Illinois University he's an atmospheric scientist and a certified consulting meteorologist I understand you were doing some first-hand research last night A little storm chasing What did you see? Well got on some good supercells in the central part of the state Luckily, they didn't produce any tornadoes in the area that I was in but unfortunately for the communities they did take some pretty big hail. But compared to some parts of the Midwest I think we made out okay. Okay... Now I found this is the intro to this guy

2:02:20 He's storm chasing and he says, luckily I saw no tornadoes. Isn't his whole thing is to see tornadoes? Isn't that what he's all about? If you're storm chasing isn't that the idea...to see tornadoes! Isn't it that way you do storm chasing?! I would say so So why does he feel lucky? He didn't see any. Okay, so that's the premise for this guy. So now he is going to give us a little rundown on climate change You've got a recent study about the future of supercells in the United States First of all what is a super cell Great question Super cells are rotating thunderstorms They're actually relatively small but they pack a heck of a punch I always liken them to peanuts

2:03:04 You know, peanut is a relatively small piece of food but boy it's got a lot of calories, a lot of protein and fat. And these supercells although relatively small produce the lion share of tornadoes and significant hail that we experience in the United States. And some of the biggest tornadoes in recent years, Moore Oklahoma, Joplin Missouri, Southern Outbreak in 2011 You, as I understand your study you modeled various levels of carbon over years to see what would happen. What did you find? Well it's just not carbon we looked at various sort of future projections of the greenhouse gas emission scenarios both this intermediate and pessimistic warming reveal a dramatic increase in the number of supercells

2:03:50 across the Mid-South, the Ozark Plateau, the lower Ohio Valley. So that area of let's call it Northeast Texas, Eastern Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri and stretching over to Mississippi and Alabama take sometimes a doubling in the number of supercells if you double the number of super cells that the number of unfortunately hail and tornadoes could also see a doubling Somewhat uniquely, though we actually see a decline into the areas of the Western Great Plains. Some people like to call that colloquially sort of tornado alley. Tornadoes and supercells are still gonna go through this area but maybe at some slighter or maybe less rates as we move into the 21st century. And do these recent storms when we had big storms last weekend again this weekend did they suggest that the future is here? That's a great question

CHAPTER 40 / 54 Discussion

Deutsche Welle on Tornado Season Mechanics

German broadcaster Deutsche Welle provided a technical explanation for the recent surge in U.S. tornadoes, attributing them to the clashing of warm, humid air from the Gulf of Mexico with cold Canadian air. Unlike some domestic reports, the segment noted that there is currently no definitive scientific study linking the frequency and intensity of tornadoes directly to climate change.

deutsche welle· tornadoes· gulf of mexico· rocky mountains· meteorology

2:04:44 Climate change is occurring right now. It's going to accelerate based on the emission scenarios that we're seeing there are certainly things that we can do to mitigate that and tornadoes are becoming more frequent East Before you play your 53 clip I'd like to play a report from Deutsche Welle the German international news station with their take on this event. Is that okay? Yeah, I think so Why have we been seeing so many strong tornadoes this year Well this is our middle of our tornado season here across the United States kind of starts in March ramps up in April into May So these are common to happen

2:05:32 And this time of year, but this storm was actually a little bit stronger. It got down to about 980 millibars or a little stronger when you get that strong of a system over land, you can get pretty good strong tornadoes and indeed we did have that from parts of the United States in Iowa Illinois and again Arkansas back into parts of Mississippi Tennessee even here in Alabama as well too so at this time of year We can get these you just have that warm humid air coming up from the Gulf of Mexico meeting that colder air from up in Canada They clash together out there, you get a strong front to come in and these thunderstorms thrive on energy. The warm humid air and indeed we did have quite a few of them and unfortunately this won't be the last will have this spring Tell us is there a link between climate change and the frequency and intensity of tornadoes?

2:06:18 Right now there's no study that says that. Obviously with some warmer, more humid air coming from the Gulf of Mexico that does become fuel for some of these storms and may lead to more humid air which those storms thrive off but studies are still ongoing as to the small impact of a tornado versus a global impact what we're seeing. Now the United States is let's say particularly affected by tornadoes can you explain to us why that is? It's just the setup of where we are on the face of the earth. We have our Rocky Mountains over in the western part of the country, we have our Appalachian mountains over to the east and in between you have this river valley right where the Mississippi River is and that allows all this warm air to come up from the south meaning cold air from the north when the systems kind of collide those setup like we had yesterday

2:07:07 That allows us to get really strong areas of low pressure and that helps to form these systems. And we can see these each and every year, and anytime we get in the springtime it is tornado season here." Thank you Deutsche Welle! Good try! Well that was a simplistic... It didn't blame climate change like they do on PBS Exactly this is the German television saying no No that's not because of climate change This is what happens I think now have a historical document So let's go to 1953.

CHAPTER 41 / 54 Discussion

1953 Waco Tornado and Radar History

The 1953 Waco tornado remains the deadliest in Texas history, killing over 100 people and destroying $50 million in property. The disaster served as a watershed moment for meteorology, leading to a conference at Texas A&M that established the state's first radar network using military surplus equipment to improve early warning systems.

waco texas· 1953 tornado· radar network· texas a&m· military surplus

2:07:53 This is what happens when a tornado strikes a city like Waco, Texas. Where more than 100 people are fatally injured and more than $50 million in property is gone in just a few seconds no longer than it takes to tell it there might have been more injured except for the hard work of these volunteers who worked day and night to remove the trash even with their bare hands To keep the wreckage from caving in on the people still trapped down underneath is struck it stopped the clocks at 4 40 in the afternoon. It was a rush hour and there was a big heavy rainstorm and nobody could hear nor see that twister coming. And can you talk to Dan a little bit about the impact and legacy of this monster storm? Monster storm Yeah, it certainly was Waco still stands today is the deadliest tornado in texas history going back to the year 1900. It

2:09:04 struck at the end of the workday in downtown Waco. And so literally there were many people that were caught off guard, buildings were literally collapsing on people as they were still inside. There was actually an old Indian legend back then that pretty much some folks that lived in Waco thought that they were protected by tornadoes because of the hills and the bluffs that surrounded the city. Of course, we know that that Indian legend proved to be false But really the big legacy of the Waco tornado in that same year, June of that same year Texas A&M held a special tornado warning conference and it gathered military officials meteorologists police and fire and other city officials all gathered together to discuss what had happened

2:09:54 And they really formulated a plan that over the next several years, they implemented. And part of that plan was to basically disseminate military surplus radars to cities and communities throughout the state to establish the first radar network in the state of Texas. It really was a watershed moment. Wait a minute! They didn't blame climate change? If that happened today they would. The International Interplanetary Climate Change Group of nutjobs didn't say, oh yeah, how's climate change? Well, you're right. You're right about that! This is what they would have done back in 1953 only this is 2023 we go to Euronews More than 130 UN member states have voted for the International Court of Justice to pronounce on the obligations encumbered on States to protect the climate for present and future generations It means the world's highest court will now clarify what countries must do legally to defend the environment from climate harm

2:10:56 Can you believe this? So they've now invoked the International Criminal Court Oh, you can be criminals if you don't keep up. And like good little boys and girls... Little Rishi over there in the UK. Oh yeah! We'll do it we're all in, we're good!" It was going to be the Prime Minister's Green Day In the end it was rebranded Energy Security day. Rishi Sunak and his Net Zero minister were shown around a nuclear laboratory as they launched their plan. We are gonna create jobs across the country, we are gonna increase our energy security reduce people bills and reduce our carbon emissions

CHAPTER 42 / 54 Discussion

UK Energy Security Day and Green Hydrogen

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak launched "Energy Security Day" in the UK, rebranding previous net-zero initiatives to focus on insulation schemes and green hydrogen development. Critics argue the plan lacks new funding and relies on "reheated" proposals, while the government emphasizes a $25 billion investment in carbon capture and storage under the North Sea.

Rishi Sunak and his Net Zero minister were shown around a nuclear laboratory as they launched their plan. We are gonna create jobs across the country, we are gonna increase our energy security reduce people bills and reduce our carbon emissions

2:11:54 The government plan includes a wide range of measures. They're launching an insulation scheme to make 300,000 homes more energy efficient There's a plan to invest around $300 million in developing green hydrogen as a fuel It is claimed to be more environmentally friendly and there is the formal establishment of Great British Nuclear to promote the building of new power plants critics point out many proposals are simply reheated versions of old announcements in many cases there's no new funding for example the government is pushing an existing 25 billion dollars investment in carbon capture and storage removing carbon dioxide produced by burning fossil fuels and storing it under the North Sea

2:12:35 Many in the energy sector are calling for the government to use subsidies to encourage investment in clean energy, like those President Biden's announced for US firms or lose out on jobs and revenue. We were there with our thinking many years ahead of the rest of the world but this government has just dithered and delayed and those business opportunities that investments will have gone to the US, it will have gone to the EU because they've also woken up to the fact that hydrogen offers this huge potential. Yeah everybody's all in on the green hydrogen! They're gonna do with nuclear apparently but there's no money... There is no money so that's uh that's the lip service the UK government is giving but the BBC they really

BBC 15-Minute Cities and Disinformation Reporting

The BBC released a report characterizing concerns about "15-minute cities" as a conspiracy theory fueled by TikTok disinformation. The segment featured a Dutch reporter and a cycling ambassador in the Netherlands who argued that having essentials within a short distance increases freedom, dismissing claims that the urban planning concept is a precursor to climate lockdowns.

15-minute cities· bbc· oxford· agenda 2030· netherlands

2:13:22 They really took the cake with their report on the 15-minute cities. Now, the 15 minute cities first one being Oxford we know that this is a climate change mitigation strategy Have everything within 15 minutes walking distance. I believe not even dry you're laughing already Well, you know how do you even do this 15-minute city and then promote tourism? I mean the whole thing is idiotic But it's a real thing. I mean you will agree with me that these fifteen minute cities are being told You know they think they got something here they gotta get the answer well, you're wrong This is a conspiracy theory It's not even true man

2:14:02 The 15-minute city. For years it's been a buzzword in urban planning, but now the concept has gone mainstream and become a magnet for protests around the world from Canada to the UK with conspiracy groups claiming they're designed to imprison us in our neighborhoods. Type the term 15 minute City into tick-tock and it generates hundreds of videos using familiar hashtags agenda 2030 by the way just a point of personal privilege Notice how they're not looking at Google. They're searching for things on tik-tok minute

2:14:41 city into TikTok and it generates hundreds of videos using familiar hashtags agenda 2030 world economic forum to suggest the 50 minute goal is part of a sinister global plot to limit our freedoms by enforcing climate lockdowns. Reike Kuipers, a Dutch disinformation reporter has been tracking the spread and evolution of this conspiracy. The 2030 Conspiracy Theory is about this global agenda where world leaders met up and are supposed to have discussed how to use these environmental concerns to impose almost authoritarian restrictions on the people And A 15 Minute City is evidence of that

2:15:24 plan being put into action. Yeah and it's a form of confirmation bias as well, 15 minute city prisons that's what they're calling them 15 minutes to keep you in your area will only be allowed within that 15-minute zone videos like this one have been getting hundreds of thousands of views but the content doesn't always tally with reality Don't you love how they're doing this? They're twisting it to say, oh people are calling it a jail or prison. It's not true That's complete horse crap and they bring in a Dutch disinformation journalist Let's hear more from what is going on in the Netherlands. There is evidence here, where pretty much the entire country is already made up of 15 minute cities so... No! No! No! That's bull crap that not true

2:16:15 Amsterdam you can't get from one side to the other in 45 minutes. I thought it might just be worth taking you for a spin on my bicycle, To hear for yourself what it's like to live and work in one here we go So within 15 minutes, 4 or 5 kilometers I can reach my daughter's primary school lots of supermarkets the doctors pharmacies on your bicycle in the rain all the other everyday essentials and despite people objecting to the fifteen minute idea saying in order to get this we'll be forced to sacrifice our freedom of movement there is no sign of any boundaries or restrictions here. Here in The Netherlands there is very little opposition

2:16:56 And Ayat Shabang, a cycling ambassador believes that's because everyone already sees the upside. Very little opposition? Are you kidding me?! There are big groups! There are people protesting about this... Okay BBC I can't imagine what it is like to not live in a 15 minute city To have to go so far to get something I think it gives you a lot of freedom and thats what we all want Wow 15 minutes? See, this gives you a lot of freedom. How does it give you more freedom than not being in the 15 minute seat? Be quiet, you opposition person! I think it gives you a lot of freedom and that's what we all want Public polarization over the 50-minute city has highlighted climate disinformation as a new front line for cities seeking innovative solutions to pressing environmental challenges that won't disappear

2:17:46 Do not be in opposition. 15 minute cities are freedom. Restriction is freedom, fear is freedom! That's all slaves! Unbelievable... It was just unbelievable I don't even know what to say Well, I think you said it. It said itself The BBC is full of crap There's another piece of propaganda out there People should stop paying You have to pay a fee to watch them I know, its mandatory if you own a television I know, I know. Ummmm... Let me see what do we have? Well you know I got something from the last show that was gonna do it then and well now i'm gonna let's play this clip uh drag show law blocked

CHAPTER 44 / 54 Discussion

Tennessee Drag Show Law Injunction

A federal judge issued a temporary injunction against a Tennessee law that sought to restrict "adult cabaret entertainment" on public property or in the presence of minors. The judge ruled in favor of a Memphis LGBTQ theater group, finding that the statute's broad language likely violates First Amendment protections for freedom of speech.

tennessee· drag shows· first amendment· memphis· lgbtq

2:18:39 Okay, hold on a second. Oh here it is Federal judge temporarily blocked at Tennessee law placing strict limits on drag shows just hours before it was set to go into effect The first of its kind law bans adult cabaret entertainment On public property or in locations where it could be viewed by a minor the judge sided with a Memphis LGBTQ theater groups argument that the statutes overly broad language violates the First Amendment Really now? I'm really pushing this this these drag show these tracks was is to show up all of the blue the drag show Library time with the little kids and all the rest drag time story hour dragged Drag time story hour. It's like what is it? What is the point of this? It was really in white and why are they wise that they're making us a hill to stand on everything you're gonna fight to the death

2:19:33 Well, I think that's the point. The point is to have fights and to have death. That is the point as we discussed on the last show. Trans is the new Black Lives Matter so drag is trans. Bill Maher's show Real Time was very interesting besides having Governor Sununu on who clearly is going to run but was saying he wasn't whatever fine. Bill Maher, he had on a guy who wrote a book about... He's gay guy and I'm not quite sure. He was clearly a leftist but then he also had at the same time on the panel Lieutenant Governor from Virginia Winsome Earl Sears, the Jamaican lady who famously took a picture with her with an AR-15 but she was a Marine so you know? And so she's pro gun. I only have a very short clip just kind of

CHAPTER 45 / 54 Discussion

Bill Maher on Transgenderism and Gun Ownership

On "Real Time with Bill Maher," the host and guests discussed the complexities of the LGBTQ community and the Nashville school shooting. Maher, while advocating for gun control, admitted to owning firearms for self-protection, leading to a critique of his public admission of marijuana use which technically disqualifies an individual from legal gun ownership under federal law.

bill maher· winsome earl sears· gun control· marijuana· hunter biden

2:20:25 Explain what happened because I tried to clip it but you know, I was literally playing the YouTube video which had the Bill Maher real-time full version and as I'm playing it went away and said Warner Brothers has removed this. Okay So I couldn't clip it. I didn't have time to you were watching it at the moment they removed It was amazing and when whoop they just stopped as I was playing it this morning. And so that was it, I couldn't get any... they didn't have any clip of this So the first thing I'd say is this guy's very much you know very leftist kind of guy They were talking about Trump and all that Bill Maher has such a stick up his ass about Trump and he was so happy about just like the MSNBC people

2:21:09 But then this guy said, when it came to LGBTQ Bill Maher said so this really doesn't work. This LGBTQ as you know I've said forever that there's no such community is the LGBTQ communities bullcrap and his guy said yeah and he was very interesting for this show typically more left than anything For him to say, yeah you know these little boys who are playing with girl stuff and girl toys and dresses. Typically they might grow up to be gay but no there's this whole mechanism that jumps in and says no no no you're supposed to be a girl and vice versa for girls and boys. And so that was very interesting that came up but then the conversation moved towards the Tennessee

2:21:56 school shooting and about, you know how it was trans against Christians. And then Bill Maher...and of course what happened in this conversation is well you know we have too many guns the wrong people have guns if we have to read now we have to have some common sense gun laws and I don't have all the pieces that a clip that I wanted to but i'll be able to explain after I play this so this is Bill Maher talking about guns and his favorite topic. You're gonna get rid of the 400 million guns in this country, whether you want to or not it's impossible. It would spark a civil war if you tried to confiscate them all so what I think is going happen- And bad people will always get guns Always that's the thing because they are not giving up their guns No because they are the bad people They're the bad people Just like we have a war on drugs We can't get rid of em Bill They still coming across the border Well thank God for that but

2:22:50 So the piece that I wanted to get was he says, I have guns. I don't like guns but I have guns. I've got guns because I need to protect myself because other people have guns and then he goes on for like 10 minutes about how much he loves weed, he smokes weed and only bad people should have guns. I just want to point out Bill Maher that when it comes to background checks even in California Even though weed is legal, there's a question on your form when you're purchasing a gun. It says do you currently smoke marijuana? Use cocaine etc.? It's a federal questionnaire then you can't lie on that just like Hunter Biden So for him to publicly be saying only bad people should not get guns we need to catch them

2:23:42 I don't think it's a good idea to have a pothead owning guns. And someone should bring him to account over that! I agree with you It's illegal, but I'm not going to say that i was necessarily honest in my previous life But come on... Only the people YOU deem to be the wrong people which would probably be Republicans or Trumpers or MAGA or whatever Well, that brings me to a clip I have. This happened in the few weeks before the shooter, the crazy shooter in Nashville and this is Cenk Uygur going on and on about guns and who should have them and who shouldn't. I'll be a little bit of a hypocrite here but it's not. I'll explain why I'm saying it.

CHAPTER 46 / 54 Discussion

Cenk Uygur and Transgender Gun Ownership

Cenk Uygur of The Young Turks recently encouraged transgender Americans to arm themselves, citing a perceived increase in threats from right-wing media. This shift in rhetoric coincides with data showing that Black women are the fastest-growing demographic of new gun owners in the United States, marking a departure from traditional progressive anti-gun stances.

cenk uygur· the young turks· gun ownership· trans rights· black women

2:24:37 I would ban assault weapons in a second. We can go on and on about the gun control that we need in this country, and I always tell people don't get guns it'll make you less safe. I'm going to make an exception here for trans people they're actually in danger. They have had hundreds of laws passed against them. They have right wing media ginning up fear against them 24 seven they are targeted more than any other group And if anyone should get guns, it should be trans Americans. Okay? Because I'm worried for them! I'm worried that the right-wing lunatics are going to attack them as they have over and over again. And by the way it's not just right wing lunatics other people attack trans folks as well like gay guys Wow The number one fastest growing group of gun owners any idea? Trans Black women

2:25:32 Oh no, I knew this. Yep this came up in the conversation. Yeah actually had a clip some time back yeah black women they're buying guns... They love guns! And they need them and so to say the people harassed what happened that Black Lives Matter bro? What happened that just disappeared all of a sudden nah nah nah nah This is pretty blatant and i think you know Well, I want to say one thing about that. Okay! This Marxists who put together Black Lives Matter these women... Yeah who stole the money. They all walked away with a shit ton of money bought some nice houses and cars and they kind of retired and it turns out that in a lot of these movements if your main guy you

2:26:21 You know, the guy was shaking his fist and up there and he's making a stink and getting publicity and getting on the shows and talking to talk. When you retire from that gig, the whole thing collapses! And I think that's what happened. Totally. Total collapse. Isn't it interesting how no one cares? People don't even see what is happening They don't even see Black Lives Matter has been completely...you know, I was talking to Mo And he was like, it was just bitching and moaning about work. He got deplatformed. He said to me in May when the president makes a decision about the COVID emergency

CHAPTER 47 / 54 Discussion

Ageism and Hiring Practices in Corporate America

A discussion on modern hiring practices explores the impact of diversity initiatives and the end of the COVID-19 emergency declaration. Producers share anecdotes suggesting that "ageism" has become a significant barrier in the tech industry, often overshadowed by more public debates regarding gender and racial hiring quotas.

ageism· diversity hiring· corporate america· covid-19 emergency· labor market

2:27:05 What will actually change? I said, well that's a good question. I don't really know this far what's important to me is that my daughter and her fiance can then come and visit me because He there neither of them vaccinated Christine has American passport but he doesn't And that is supposed to change and he said well companies do will companies then also no longer require it And I said, probably not. Probably a lot of them will keep that in place the woke companies. But you have a benefit. White men in America can't get a job anymore and he said... And I said your black man in America. Oh no! Wrong gender bro! Wrong gender! And then Seronimus of Dogpatch reached out and said it's more about old, it's more about ageism

2:27:56 Which he says he has standing on. I don't know, but it the whole thing there should be no No difference between person A or person B about who gets hired that train seems to have left the station though Imagine all the people who could do that oh yeah Well, we're going to go to our little list here and thank people one after the other who contributed this show starting with Oregon Local $333.33 and this was usually given to some one person monthly donation from the Oregon Local Slave Soiree at Dick's Primal Burger April 8th will be the next meetup

Traffic was wonderful until he got to the off-ramp a tortuous seven mile drive from the freeway exit to the parking stalls He's still making his way to the venue and another NOAA agenda listener inquired about where they were meeting up So it did finally end up working out They ended up at the grassy knoll area right behind the announcers booth Imagine my surprise when fellow NA listener John C appears out of nowhere

2:38:37 This could not have been you, John. Not John C. Dvorak. This must've been another John C... He loved the air show and concluded that night with a live concert by Gary Sinise and his band.

Roswell New Mexico and Military Institute Lore

A producer known as Dame Atomic Ginger sent a care package from Roswell, New Mexico, describing the town's unique mix of military history and alien-themed tourism. She noted that the New Mexico Military Institute, which was featured in the film "The Men Who Stare at Goats," remains a primary economic driver for the community.

2:41:44 Dame atomic ginger. What does she have to say? Well, I'm sure she's a redhead. You think? Sending you some genuine Roswell New Mexico tourist junk! So she sent me a small care package. Nice. Which really... Junk is the right word As an insider who now lives in Lubbock, I will let you know that this town, Roswell New Mexico is rough It's gangsters and meth-heads mixed with lovely normal people like any small town 45,000. There is nothing to do here. New Mexico Military Institute was used in the movie The Men Who Stare at Goats

2:42:29 The school is 120 plus years old and it's the only thing keeping the town alive. It, and the crazy alien convention every July! People always ask if I've seen any aliens? And I just respond, Only the illegals. Thank you for your courage. Shout out to Lucas." That place sounds a bit like Nostra. Sounds like just Twitter on meth. Just sounds like another one of these towns Useless. Isos, I only have one so...I've got three! Oh well why don't you do your three and then i'll play my one?

Elizabeth Warren on TikTok and Data Privacy

Senator Elizabeth Warren expressed her support for a broad approach to data privacy that extends beyond just TikTok to include all social media platforms and Chinese-owned apps. Critics argue her stance aligns with Senate Bill 686, which they claim seeks total government control over internet data rather than simple consumer privacy protections.

2:43:26 Which was Mussolini's slogan initially. No, no too long shitty quality. Mouse don't mess with the mouse Dude what is better so far but check mine out 69 What? 69 It's just Trump doing I know where it's from 69 That's Trump yeah okay guess that's not gonna be it then huh Well, it's for end of show. Yeah did what is better we'll use did was yeah Was I have a quick I got more from Elizabeth Warren since she was so dynamite before on tik-tok That's okay

2:44:15 Yeah, sure. So I'm assuming she is for the free and open internet which allows democracies to flourish. Let's find out! Have said that this wouldn't actually address the issue of data privacy, have you seen evidence of TikTok being a threat to our national security? So i look at this a little differently. I think the question of privacy of our data through social media through just tracking us on our phones

2:44:57 is something that we should be very concerned about. But it's not enough just to say this is a TikTok only problem, this is the problem all the way across in terms of the data that are being collected. Okay so are we casting them wide enough net? I want- We're not casting them wide enough net. I wanna see a wider net on privacy issues I also think on the question of China, because it is different with China here. But China has other... they've got apps out there! They've got social media, they've got other pieces. Oohh! They have apps out there!! She's all in man she's all in on taking it all down having complete power

2:45:32 Complete power. Here's a second clip. So an American tech companies can sell data so shoot bang go to tick not Banga benga, there's your there's your eyes what am I an idiot companies can sell data? So shoot bang goes it tonight He talked over to talk not be bad Yeah, so the way I see it is if we're gonna look into the question of data privacy and we should I've got some very serious concerns about this We need to cast abroad enough net we cannot pretend that that if we can focus in on one company, that we're all done and have fixes. She wants the total control! She wants it all she wants the full-on TikTok bill which of course is not a TikTok bill That's what she wants...she's all in! She's all in on it Which is Senate Bill too...she probably... She's looking for some money
