About this episode

Mayor London Breed faced a hostile crowd at a UN Plaza meeting regarding the San Francisco fentanyl crisis, where a protester threw a brick at the stage during a debate on compulsory addiction treatment. Law enforcement sources suggest the recent deployment of the National Guard and Highway Patrol is a strategic cleanup effort ahead of the APEC CEO Summit at the Moscone Center this November. This security surge coincides with Congressional testimony revealing a massive de minimis loophole that allows two million uninspected packages from China to enter the U.S. daily.

Internal Twitter security failures under Jack Dorsey and Vijaya Gadde come to light as former employees allege that foreign intelligence agents from China were identified inside the building but protected from investigation by management. In Texas, the House of Representatives overwhelmingly voted to impeach Attorney General Ken Paxton on bribery charges, leading to his immediate suspension. Meanwhile, Victoria Nuland confirmed at the Kyiv Security Forum that the U.S. has spent months planning the Ukrainian counteroffensive, while the Russian Ambassador to the UK, Andrey Kelin, warned that NATO long-range missiles are escalating the conflict to a new dimension. In the corporate world, Moderna has registered as a legal entity in China as Beijing prepares for a predicted COVID-19 wave of 60 million infections per week.

Technical glitches in automated robot calls and the rise of pig butchering crypto scams highlight the increasing complexity of digital fraud. The National Eating Disorders Association recently replaced its entire human helpline staff with a chatbot named Tessa, while Neuralink received FDA approval for its first in-human clinical trials. This episode features insights from James Lindsay on the shift from class struggle to gender identity and a report from a Columbus brewery where production lines halted due to the Bud Light boycott.

CHAPTER 01 / 48 Discussion

Memorial Day, Indy 500, and Pride Month Origins

The program opens with a Memorial Day greeting and a summary of the day's major sporting events, including the Indianapolis 500 and the Monaco Grand Prix. A discussion regarding the timing of Pride Month confirms it is celebrated in June to honor the 1969 Stonewall Uprising in New York. The hosts contrast the lack of flags in the San Francisco Bay Area with the patriotic displays in the Texas Hill Country.

memorial day· indy 500· monaco grand prix· pride month· stonewall uprising

00:00 I hate this game. Memorializing the fallen and broadcasting live from the heart of Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region number 6 In The Morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley where I hate to say it but the Indianapolis 500 is not that entertaining...I'm John C. Dvorak It's Crackpot & Buzzkill! Man isn't that one today? One of those days we have Indy 500 and we have the Grand Prix of Monaco Formula 1

00:40 And the gay parade in San Francisco. Really? Is that today? Yeah, it's on right now as long as... and so is the Minneapolis 500 Oh I thought the gay parade didn't start until Pride Month which was June! I think this is Pride Month No, I thought pride month was June Well they're sure making out to be Pride Month Let's not be like other podcasts let's just go straight to The Book of Knowledge and find out Oh, I think we should just ad-lib. Lesbian gay bisexual transgender and queer pride month is currently celebrated each year in the month of June And you know why it is in the month of June? Yeah, Stonewall Yes correct to honor the 1969 stone wall uprising Even though there were previous before stonewall There was action in Los Angeles that predated Stonewall but no New York has to have everything going for it

CHAPTER 02 / 48 Discussion

Twitter Security Failures and Foreign Intelligence Infiltration

A former Twitter security employee provides an account of the company's internal management under Jack Dorsey and Vijaya Gadde. The source claims that foreign intelligence agents, particularly from China, were frequently identified entering the building but investigations were suppressed by management to avoid accusations of racism. This internal chaos is cited as the reason Elon Musk was able to terminate 80% of the workforce without impacting core operations.

twitter· jack dorsey· vijaya gadde· fbi· chinese agents

01:39 Well, maybe that's why San Francisco is jumping the gun. Going early with the pride...with the prides just a thought Hey I had to got a new dinner people to hang out with here Oh you have new friends Say that again because it really diminishes it so much So well I really appreciate it You have new friends said the hermit please Do you ever have friends that you have dinner with? Yeah, people over all the time. No I mean friends just people yeah, I mean random nobody I got no friends. That's what his family told us angrily so it happens when you get older and you get guns Cyber security guy who used to work at Twitter and had some very entertaining things to say Well now I'm interested. I thought you would be Jack knew nothing about

02:42 Jack didn't run crap. I Think we I think that was a given I think that was not so yeah, but secret But really like he didn't know anything about the FBI about the spooks coming in it was all Vijaya Vijaya Vijaya Whoever and her sidekick Dell they let all the spooks in So the security guys you know when I say security? I mean It's not just cyber security people breaking into the network, but what's going on in the company Sure, they saw... Who's coming through the door? They saw spooks and agents from every country in the world coming in China especially. And they would go to management and say you know we should probably like do a little investigation on these people no! No! You know why it was racist

03:37 They were shut down. One time, and I'm just paraphrasing here there was apparently a meeting and something was brought up about Chinese agents and one guy got up ran out the door raced to the airport and never came back and flew to China I mean this is hilarious. It's like a comedy bit! It's hilarious, he says you think the FBI was bad? Oh no it says every single country in the world had agents and they were just letting them all in they would then that they would not let any investigations take place because most these people were brown or

04:14 or yellow, or whatever. No that was racist you can't do that even when they were requesting full access to everything So the Chinese spy literally showed up and couldn't do anything because it was racist? Racist yes! That sounds pretty much like the car for the course of the Bay Area And I think it also kind of explains why it was so easy for Elon to come in fire 80% of people Because you don't need it. You didn't need any of those people for any of this stuff Any of it, it was all just middle management crap I think a lot of companies in Silicon Valley are that way Oh yeah and then we talked about AI He said he's kind of in between where we are and we're all gonna die people are Says no, they could actually get pretty

CHAPTER 03 / 48 Discussion

Silicon Valley Engineering Culture and California Political Identity

An analysis of the shifting demographics in Silicon Valley suggests that top-tier engineers have left major firms like Google due to excessive middle management. The conversation transitions into a critique of the "Berkeleyite" culture and the specific fashion and political sensibilities of older residents in the Bay Area. The hosts jokingly suggest a divorce from California while debating whether the state would actually function as a communist republic or an anarchistic society.

google· silicon valley· berkeley· communism· california secession

05:09 Pretty in quote-unquote intelligent. He said but he doesn't think the He doesn't think that the good engineers the what? He calls the the liberals who started Google That's how he classified them. I don't think I don't I don't think they have the right engineers anymore They can't do anything they've screwed the pooch and Which is another nice little thing. How and why did they screw the pooch? Because people left! People hated it so much, they got so much middle management that became this big behemoth of... He also worked at Google actually. And what other place he worked at?

05:47 I mean, this is a fresh friendship so i don't want to ruin it too soon. So give me... Yeah you wait and you can ruin it later Like the Obama bots that ended abruptly we're on a roll for a while there Happy Memorial Day everybody. In America we celebrate this with mattress sales, I'm very happy to... Very very happy to buy a new mattress of course this is when we remember the fallen in all the wars it's big out here though man I'll tell you, flags everywhere

06:25 Here in the hill country of Texas, there's no mattress sales here. They know what it is about. There are no flags here! No, of course not. San Francisco...the whole Bay Area hates America Yeah? I think so. Really no flags? That your boots on the ground or whatever? I'm looking out their window and there is not a flag in sight That really quite lame isn't it In fact I could probably draw...I know where the flags are they're at the cemeteries There will be flags there. Well of course, of course but... But the number of flags actually flying you know people would put out? Nothing no I probably could drive all through all around today and I'd see no flags yeah Yeah we should just divorce California I guess. It's big enough it can stand on its own. A bunch of haters! Yeah you could but would you stay there

07:14 If it became the... That's too much trouble to remove. Ha! If it became the Communist Republic of California, you'd stay? It wouldn't ever become the Communist Republic that's the funny thing What would it become then? Oh, it would be some sort of crazy place Yeah well wait, it would become some kind of crazy place what do you mean it WOULD become? It would just be...it will be quantified...it will be um...that's not what I'm looking for codified as a crazy place. They talk big game about communism and they kind of like, you know pretend it but this is...but it's a bunch of old ladies the mentality is old kinda old conservative hand-wringing never wash your hair style It's like, you know they probably wouldn't be able to deal with actual communism where people have to, you know, be told what to do. It's more anarchistic more than anything anarchistic in and crazy old ladies

08:12 I think I can agree with that. Guys and old men that wear jeans, there's like if you're over 60 years old please don't wear jeans! And so you see this old guy he's got the short crop kind of a lesbian cut gray hair, jeans t-shirt at 65 years old and wearing a mask... That is the Berkeleyite. I'm actually had a clip i think about San Francisco where people are getting fed up, really fed up with the drug problem and London Breed got boo'd off the street. Is London Breed your mayor? Yes, London Breed. Where is she now... How come I can't find this now? This was on my list for today. San Francisco hmm

CHAPTER 04 / 48 Discussion

San Francisco Fentanyl Crisis and Mayor London Breed

Mayor London Breed faced a hostile crowd at a special Board of Supervisors meeting at UN Plaza regarding the city's fentanyl crisis. The meeting was recessed after a protester threw a brick toward the stage while officials debated new proposals to compel addicts into treatment. Critics argue that the city must move away from harm reduction and return to abstinence-based programs to address open-air drug use.

london breed· san francisco· fentanyl· board of supervisors· drug addiction

09:11 That's odd. Did you not have this as a local report there? They blew her all the time No, but I mean it was about the drug problem specifically. Oh here it is. The drug problem? That's all they talk about! I got it here we go A crowd gathered as the San Francisco Board of Supervisors convened a special meeting at UN Plaza. The task addressing the fentanyl crisis plaguing the streets And I agree this is not a new problem but it is one that has become so visible that many San Franciscans do not feel safe Mayor London Breen was called before the board to

09:46 publicly answer questions on what's being done to combat and curtail open-air drug use. We have tried over and over again, and what we are doing is not working. In fact our local resources have increased But it is not dealt with the problem based on the magnitude of what we're experiencing. Breed says a new approach is necessary, requiring more accountability We want to give people help but we will not continue to allow things to just occur as they have been Some demand more... What does that even mean? We wanna give people help but don't want things to occur as they have been Is this the Kamala Harris school of talk? It sounds like the Kama- by the way

10:28 I have some Kamala Harris clips from West Point. Oh good! And she, in fact just not to interrupt you but i want to play the one short clip this super short one where she uh here it is 17 seconds Harris at West Point classic cliche To you is exciting and intuitive You see what can be unburdened by what has been. And you have the agility and the ability to bring that potential to life. Wow!

11:05 How can she keep saying that? They should boo her. And it's that same one, this is the key You see what can be unburdened by what has been That's the one she keeps repeating Unburdened by what has been Yeah wherever she gives a speech says that Well let's go back to London Breed who has their own interesting way of talking The same kind of thing Approach is necessary requiring more accountability We want to get people help, but we will not continue to allow things to just occur. Like Larry, Larry Lightfoot. Yes she does! She has a lot of that cadence and even the tone to some degree But we will not continue to allow things to just occur And Stacey Abrams good point trolls As they have been Some demand more attention on racial disparities and those directly affected by the crisis to find solutions What the politicians in San Francisco need to do is take harm reduction

12:03 reduction off the books and go back to an abstinence-based program in regards to substance abuse. And others blame the mayor for the growing problem within 15 minutes of the meeting there was yelling and shouting. Soon, the mayor requested she answer the supervisors questions elsewhere. We will recess this meeting to the Board of Supervisors chamber While some supervisors were still near the street, officials say a protester threw a brick toward the stage. The person was quickly arrested and hauled away in handcuffs with tempers... By the way they say a person it was a dude with long hair in a mini dress I'm just saying. ...saying a protester threw a brick toward the stage. The person was quickly arrested and hauled away in handcuffs

12:48 With tempers flaring, supervisors and the mayor agree now is the time for action. We have some proposals that are on the table that will work with adult probation, that will work with a sheriff's department, that will say if you are an addict if you are on the process or the verge of overdosing we need to have public health, sheriff's department and probation work together so we can compel people into treatment. I am putting everything on the line! I am doing this job without fear of losing it! One of the proposals on the table is to arrest repeat drug offenders but not all supervisors are onboard And that's the problem they've got too many supervisors who oh no... and by the way i'm seeing a lot of white people

CHAPTER 05 / 48 Discussion

APEC Summit Security and National Guard Deployment

A report from a law enforcement source suggests that the deployment of the National Guard and Highway Patrol to San Francisco is primarily intended to secure the city for the upcoming APEC CEO Summit in November. The Moscone Center will host world leaders, necessitating a "cleanup" of the streets that the understaffed SFPD cannot manage alone. The segment also touches on theories regarding Chinese involvement in the fentanyl trade as historical retaliation.

apec summit· national guard· california highway patrol· moscone center· sfpd

13:33 I don't know where all this racism comes from. I'm seeing white people dying on the streets of San Francisco from overdoses. Yeah, mostly. Here we have our Baron Anonymous Cop who sends this interesting note. Oh yes, this was a great note! Everyone knows the National Guard and High Patrol are coming to San Francisco allegedly to help the police for the fentanyl crisis. Well here's something that general public doesn't know yet...San Francisco was quietly named 2023 host for the APEC, the Asian Pacific Economic Conference CEO Summit in November last year. This conference, which will convene world leaders and business executives to discuss creating economic opportunity. The Asia Pacific's premier business forum will take place from November 15th to 16th in Moscone Center," which is right in the middle of it. Sessions will address... gone on and on. Well SFPD would should have a operational capacity of 2,000 police officers is under 1,000. The streets are a mess homeless and blah blah blah goes on about the problems that open drug use selling

14:36 and on and on. He says that this National Guard Highway Patrol thing is a It's a fraud. It's just to back up the police department and clean up this place a little bit, which they did during the last Super Bowl event in which they just rousted everybody and you're going have to do that again by November so that could bring in these cops. By the way it's bootleg coins CA at the Etsy shop he just wants to plug that obviously. He has got a lot of cool stuff still if you want get some no agenda gear that looks coppish Yeah. Looks law enforcement-y? So the law enforcement, you know this idea of oh we're bringing in the Highway Patrol and National Guard for the fentanyl crisis is bullcrap! Our new friend said yesterday he was convinced that this was still China doing this they have a long memory and this was retaliation for the opium wars I'm not so sure i think it's self inflicted A lot of people feel this way yeah That's not an obscure thought

15:39 No, I know but as he's a San Francisco refugee you know he escaped. Oh your buddy? Yeah that's what i'm talking about my buddy yeah oh your new buddy yeah yeah I was just like okay yeah he is lifelong san francisco and his wife who was from the Philippines originally You know, she had left the Philippines when she was 21 thinking America was going to be great and she landed in San Francisco. And she said it's not great but not so great! She feels really at home in Texas about that well do you have more of the... I have some if we're gonna be just a little bit of China I got a bunch of China clips and they think a couple these should be played

CHAPTER 06 / 48 Discussion

Chinese Forced Labor and Air Shipping Loopholes

Congressional testimony highlights a significant gap in U.S. Customs oversight, as 43% of import value arrives via air or land where data is not publicly published. The "de minimis" loophole allows over two million packages a day to enter the U.S. from China without meaningful inspection, potentially facilitating the entry of fentanyl and goods produced by forced labor. One host recounts personal experience with the surprisingly low cost of air shipping from China compared to other regions.

chinese forced labor· customs and border protection· de minimis loophole· fedex· air cargo

16:27 which incorporates some information about the fentanyl crisis. Okay, let's do it! This would be the series China forced label...which means forced labor. What is- are you using a chat GPT to label your clips now? Is that how it works? China forced label loophole one. More efforts from the U.S. to keep forced labor out of the border. Witnesses testified Thursday in Congress before the Ways and Means Committee on America's trade policy And one of the issues brought up was forced labor in the supply chain. And it is Jason Perry has the story. Weavers held in forced labor and factories an internment camps in China, garment workers held enforced labor and sweatshops in Bangladesh. And Michael Kanko CEO of import genius says he knows exactly how to help stop it. He explained how import genius has been able to help clean up supply chains

17:17 This gap is also impacting our ability to stop Chinese forced labor. Many of the goods sourced from China that appear on the US government's list of goods produced by child labor or forced labor are typically shipped by air." He added that U.S. Customs and Border Protection only publishes shipping data for cargo shipped by sea, but not for cargos shipped by air or land which make up 43% of U.S. import value Wow, so that's probably how the fentanyl is getting in too. Everything is getting in this way and there seems to be even some terminology they use here in part two of the clip. And Michael Stumow CEO of Coalition for a Prosperous America pointed out another issue known as the de minimis loophole. It allows over 2 million packages per day to enter the US without meaningful inspection. Chairman Jason Smith rightly said De Minimus is essentially a free trade agreement with China

18:13 Allowing China to exploit de minimis is in fact unilateral disarmament of our customs and trade laws. And he talked about the overall impact it has with America's relationship with China We're building their military and we're building their ability to invade Taiwan. And it's because we can't figure out that we need build and make stuff here, employ our people and get our profits. During the hearing Representative Earl Blumenauer advised the witnesses that there is currently a proposal that would take away the transparency of maritime shipping data And if passed, that would practically end all transparency for shipping data to the public.

19:03 Which is what they've dealt, which is what they've said the air shipping is. Wow! So they're sending 43% of exports out of China coming over just to fly and flying this stuff over and it's not being inspected on arrival? No wonder everything so expensive. It's gotta be a lot more expensive to send it through air don't you think? Yeah well obviously yeah. Huh Well that doesn't make any sense. I mean, I see the cargo containers going by so they're...I don't know how much They've got to be shipping... So much? ...I don't know how many planes must be coming over if it's 43% Wow Because the number of cargo containers is in the thousands That's crazy

19:46 Oh, not really I guess. I'm reminded of when I used to bring a lot of art over from a couple of suppliers in China... Ah yes back in your art smuggling days the good old days! In Vietnam when I was shipped from Vietnam and both of these are coming over as comes in duty-free because it's handmade but Vietnam, what you'd have to pay for from DHL or somebody was like a typical shipment of just not that many pieces like $100. China was like 20 bucks or 15 bucks and they fly it over and land the next day

20:24 I was always stunned by how cheap it was to ship by air from China. Oh, well that of course begs the question are these de minimis shipments coming in on China Air? Air China, I mean... Well these came into Federal Express so i'm not sure But we have lots of... The Federal Express was shipping stuff dirt cheap from China. Well, we have a lot of FedEx pilots so the air crew will let us know We got boots on the ground everywhere in FedEx Let us know And I know a lot of them fly Chinese or Asian routes for sure In fact, those are the most... These guys? You're year three at FedEx a captain. You're making half-a million dollars a year which really beats podcasting I have to say and they look like I got five good years left in me! I can still go pilot a 747. Yeah, you need to do it. No of course not. Of course not. Like I can't leave you. I'm your only friend we did already established that would be very bad

CHAPTER 07 / 48 Discussion

Kamala Harris West Point Commencement and Speech Style

Vice President Kamala Harris delivered a commencement address at West Point, emphasizing the defense of democratic ideals and her recent visits to NATO's eastern flank in Poland. The hosts critique her rhetorical style, specifically her repeated use of the phrase "unburdened by what has been." A "sweetened" version of the audio is played, featuring cinematic sound effects to highlight her delivery.

kamala harris· west point· nato· poland· commencement speech

21:28 The way it goes. So do you have more from Kamala Harris's commencement or do you want to speak with China? Yeah, listen here she... You played the classic cliche but let's play this. This is her 42nd clip of her current way of pronouncing things she has taken on the Hillary Clinton approach to pronunciation where every single word is carefully pronunciated to support and defend our most sacred ideals, freedom democracy and rule of law. All across the world the soldiers of the United States Army defend these ideals And as Vice President I have seen it firsthand in Poland on NATO's eastern flank

22:35 I met with soldiers of the Army's Fifth Corps who deter threats to the NATO alliance and stand for freedom across Europe. Is she in charge of this all of a sudden? This is now her beat. Oh, just they're trying to do and I think that she's gonna end up like Hillary She says she already speaks like her and she's gonna claim she's under fire under some circumstance You can almost predict this we came in we were under fire in the war zone So I actually sweetened her oh here we go Okay Yes Harris at West Point sweetened

23:17 It's truly an honor to be with all of you this morning. And to the cadets, of the class of 2020, congratulations! You made it, you made it. You made it through Easton Buckner, remote learning and SAMing. We celebrated together at Holiday Weekend, and you beat Navy yes twice. To make it to today, I'm also aware that some of you had to sneak out after class to spin Sedgwick Spurs. I will not ask for a show of hands but for those who did it clearly worked. Cadets

24:13 You know, you're gonna get arrested for spurring on assassination attempts or something. Today you come to the end of what I am sure will prove to be 47 of the most challenging and rewarding months of your life There are so many people indeed who helped make it To this day The families and loved ones here Thank you incredible care and support you have given these leaders. I know you feel an immense sense of pride looking at our cadets, and it is a pride I share and that our country shares on behalf of our Commander-in-Chief President Joe Biden and our entire nation.

25:08 And it is my honor to congratulate you on taking your place in the long gray line. Amazing, completely unedited! That's really fantastic You have some really good ricochets in there. I like that you did some work, okay? This was more we're all from the new collection edges been recently released archive org Sound effects including a variety of Ricochet shots that were used in movies and their 50s and 60s yeah like that Western ricochet That bounces off the rock Yeah

Volodymyr Zelensky Johns Hopkins Commencement Address

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky delivered a virtual commencement speech to graduates at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. Zelensky received an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree and spoke about the importance of time and freedom. The segment notes that he was introduced by Anne Applebaum, leading to a discussion about the university's ties to the intelligence community.

volodymyr zelensky· johns hopkins university· anne applebaum· baltimore· honorary degree

25:45 Well, it would have been appropriate with this report because there wasn't just the vice president commencement speech. Graduates of Johns Hopkins University got a big surprise today when they learned Ukraine's leader President Zelensky was delivering their commencement speech. Zelensky, Nora! Zelensky was delivering their commencement address. Zelensky spoke to the crowd in Baltimore through a live video feed from Ukraine he received an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree and in his speech all in English he focused on the importance of not wasting time and the ideals of freedom and democracy

26:23 Oh man, how insulting is it to those cadets? And don't forget... Cadets. Graduates. Yeah well they might as well be cadets at Johns Hopkins but to make it worse he was introduced by Annie Applebaum Yes you had that on the newsletter which that IS even worse Where does she get off being in the game here? Well I guess she's in the game That's because this is Johns Hopkins has become spook central Wow, that's really quite something is I've never been asked to do a commencement speech. I'm sure you haven't either You're not gonna invite podcasters as for sure I'm just a podcaster. I'm an ex-vj hello. I have some credits to my name yeah well good for you They're not gonna invite ya Here's an interesting situation. I have a lot of China clips today

CHAPTER 09 / 48 Discussion

Moderna Expansion into China and COVID-19 Wave Predictions

Moderna has registered as a legal entity in mainland China to pursue opportunities in the world's second-largest economy. This move comes as Pfizer and BioNTech reduce their European supplies and Chinese epidemiologists predict a new COVID-19 wave that could peak at 60 million infections per week in June. Beijing has previously insisted on using only domestically produced vaccines.

moderna· china· mrna· pfizer· covid-19

27:24 But you didn't hear this anywhere except the stock market people seem to have heard it because the stock went up. China, COVID, Moderna Oh goodness. Moderna is setting up shop in China, the vaccine makers saying on Friday it's looking for opportunities in the world's second largest economy that says Pfizer and BioNTech cut their supplies in Europe stocks rallying behind the news with Moderna shares rising 2% in US pre-market trading The biotech firm registered as a legal entity in China this week The company had no presence in mainland China before this. It opened an office in Hong Kong last year as part of an Asia expansion. Moderna has said that it was keen to sell its mRNA vaccine to China, but so far Beijing has insisted on using only Chinese made COVID-19 vaccines

28:15 This comes amid warnings of a second wave expected to peak this June. A top epidemiologist predicting over 60 million will catch the infection per week when the wave hits Yeah, I heard them talking on CNBC about this earlier in the week like they were talking about this story and that was indeed though They're expecting and a new wave of COVID and oh 60 million a week By the way, I really appreciate everybody sending us the clip of the day! It's only 21 minutes. Clip of the day! Oh they're long? Yes okay so Dr David Martin...I just want everyone to understand

CHAPTER 10 / 48 Discussion

Dr. David Martin and Bioweaponization Allegations

The discussion revisits claims made by Dr. David Martin regarding the bioweaponization of viruses and the alleged $191 billion spent by Anthony Fauci on related research. The hosts link these claims to the presence of biological research facilities in Ukraine. They express skepticism toward Moderna's entry into China, suggesting a coordinated global effort between international health organizations and intelligence agencies.

david martin· anthony fauci· bioweapons· patents· ukraine

28:56 that we paid attention to Dr. David Martin in 2021 and it wasn't 21 minutes long, and he was out there all the time with this patent story... All of this is not new! In fact here's a clip from 2021. Anthony Fauci has spent listen to this number 191 billion dollars not 3.7 million not 30 million, $191 billion of audited funds for the bioweaponization of viruses against humanity. And it's your money that has been spent, a hundred and ninety one billion dollars and do you think you can get any agency or oversight body or any politician to even take that investigation on despite the fact we have every grant recipient?

29:54 Every person, their address, their phone number, their laboratory. We literally have the entirety of where that money went and not a single investigation agency in this country is willing to look This is a bioweapons program designed to kill us. Now, you know we were pretty much on the tip with him You know so now of course this comes from a European Union session Which was a whole day filled with people speaking about this it gets no mainstream play which makes of course not make makes it rather difficult And what we didn't get what we didn't get from that during that era was the fact that lot of these weapons

30:30 bioweapons development houses were in Ukraine. Yes, we didn't get any of that news no no that came out only recently now I do want to stay with big pharma because and and i will say when it comes to COVID-19 and then bring that back again and we'll get to them sure it's going to be climate change before you before you do that Do you have anything to say about this Moderna opening in China? Moderna is a spook shop! It's CIA funded Yeah. What is China allowing them to set up shop there for? I don't know, I find it very peculiar Well how about this... To pretend that we have 60 million people a day or week getting COVID just to scare us all back into submission How about that! I'm not thinking the spookshop isn't working separately from the china spooks

31:26 This is a worldwide takeover. This is World Health Organization, it's all there... It's so obvious they will try to force us into submission again that we know that was just a good trial run they learned a lot John Hopkins yeah look at what they get they get the spook show and I did the whole thing its rigged getting ready for it I mean it'll take I don't think gonna be this year but their gearing up for something I would expect them more to be under the climate change banner and who says that it's going to be for COVID? MRNA is gonna be for all kinds of stuff, including competition against the Ozempic. You know they're going into high gear now in promoting this thing across all mainstream news networks and as we already discussed and as Becky Worley our friend kicked it off there on ABC

Mainstream media reports highlight unusual side effects of semaglutide drugs like Ozempic, including a decreased desire for alcohol, vaping, and gambling. While some experts suggest these drugs could eventually treat various addictions, the hosts focus on negative physical side effects such as "Ozempic butt," characterized by sagging skin due to rapid weight loss. The segment criticizes the media for promoting off-label uses while clinical trials for addiction are still in early stages.

ozempic· wigovi· semaglutide· addiction· weight loss

32:24 Now NBC has got the native ad. There's been an explosive amount of buzz around the drugs Ozempic and Wigovi. Buzz! I'm super excited with the 50 pounds that I've lost. Stories of dramatic weight loss plastered all over social media. Baby, the hype is real! The medications both containing the compound semaglutide make people feel fuller faster but something else interesting seems to be happening countless testimonials online describing side effects positive ones that aren't related to food at all. I love that you see so many side effects of, I'm crapping the bed! This is a real thing people pooping in the bed after taking Ozempic. I'm vomiting all day long. I see those but now that's not what NBC Today show picks up on No longer have any desire to drink alcohol someone writes another says I used to vape like a demon quit cold turkey

33:21 This person comments, I used to buy scratch-off and lotto tickets. I don't even think about it anymore. Oh brother! That's gotta be my favorite. It cures gambling addiction What kind of side effect is not buying lotto tickets? There is a real side effect which I think this is from Healthline...I think this is a real thing now remember what the manufacturers themselves claim is that these Wigovi and Ozempick and these Tramalgafide...I forget what the name is Whatever this is probably generic by now to whatever this drug is or this this active ingredient it Reduces your lean body mass which we believe to be muscle

34:07 In fact, that is the definition of lean body mass. Now your brain also has muscles so maybe that's why people are like I don't want to buy a scratch-off ticket anymore my brain is melting! I'm too stupid just know how to scratch it off How do you use this thing? What is one of the biggest muscles in the human body? In fact it is called the big muscle The heart Thanks...the gluteus maximus The butt Yes Enter the side effect you may experience while taking weight loss drugs also known as Ozempic Butt.

34:46 Yes, characterized by sagging skin on the butt is gaining traction as a reported side effect of the weight loss drug Simaglutide better known by the popular name brand names Ozempic and Wigovi. Experts say rapid extreme weight loss can contribute to looser skin particularly in curvier areas of the body Bullcrap I'm telling you it's reducing your butt which for some people may be desirable but you're gonna have butt You're gonna have saggy butt Buttflab. Yeah, Ozympic butt... How about that? Underreported! Dr. Raj, I mean we're talking about these two drugs there's another drug called Menjaro as well it's sort of in the same class Yes, yes why? You know its shameful how sold out the media is to the drug companies that they won't report on anything that's negative like this It's shameful Why don't they just

35:47 Let the drug companies bring their own people on in Yakima's or they do anything Do you think this dr. Roshini Raj is it's one of their own people? Yes, I mean we're talking about these two drugs There's another drug called Manjaro as well. It's sort of in the same class. Yes Originally pre-diabetics were prescribed this drug then we discovered okay, they can be used for weight loss Okay, okay, they could be useful right now. We just got raps she's so jittery too Yeah Yeah, yeah. So right now we're discovering perhaps it could be used to treat addiction as well." How did we make this leap? Well it's one of those things and this happens a lot in medicine where people are taking one drug for specific condition that is approved for and then we notice low and behold they're having these other interesting effects that are beneficial and then you start to do research. Oh yeah like Ivermectin

36:38 That's horse pace. Did they bring that up? No, I don't think so! Lo and behold they're having these other interesting effects that are beneficial and then you start to do research there but that's where we are in the research stage. We've noticed this interesting phenomenon. We have some animal studies but it's time to do the human studies which are ongoing there already some studies on alcohol and cocaine addiction with these semi-glutide type medications need to see the clinical results there. You know, it's something that's really interesting and one day may offer some hope for many different types of addiction but right now it's still early days you know that is so I mean he said to bring in cocaine and particularly alcohol addictions oh well we may have this shot for you that's really cruel that really is and then it's still in animal trials yet it's not it's just okay good to go

37:32 Doesn't matter, you know just you can prescribe it off-label no problem. And of course we're not going to see any pushback this is the bread and butter of these networks they're bread and butter Yet somehow they can't seem to help poor Celine Dion. Music superstar Celine Dion canceled all of her concerts for the next 11 months as she continues treatment for a rare neurological disorder The 55 year old singer says she's trying to build back her strength As she struggles with what is called stiff person syndrome Dion says it is causing painful muscle spasms that affect her ability to walk and even sing

CHAPTER 13 / 48 Discussion

Ketamine for Depression and Zoloft Side Effects

A new study explores the use of intravenous ketamine as a treatment for severe depression that does not respond to traditional medications. The hosts contrast this with a listener's negative experience with Zoloft, which reportedly caused increased anger and personality changes. They question the accessibility of ketamine treatments and the prevalence of antidepressant prescriptions in modern medicine.

ketamine· depression· zoloft· psychiatry· mental health

38:13 I'm just gonna call it. I bet she was vax and boosted to the max Well, i'm sure she was but you could be uh, well, it's an autoimmune It could be yeah sounds like auto immune but it could be anything but it Well that could be one of these side effects from this off-label bullcrap But yeah, she probably was vexed at the max Yeah, I mean she had her she has a residency in vegas She had to No, yes she had to. Yeah I'm pretty sure and also you know all the... And she obeyed! Yeah all the party drugs everyone's enjoying We got to get that all on onto the into the pharma system as well. Now with Dr. Darian, let's talk ketamine and the treatment of major depression. Yeah so this is a new study that's come out that's looking into the use of intravenous ketamine or IV ketamine between severe depression. So approximately 17 million people in America every year live with depression. Approximately 30% percent of that 17 million have severe depression which doesn't recover with regular treatments and for that group

39:14 What is, now hold on a second. This does not... One moment let me listen again. Depression which doesn't recover with regular treatments Does not recover with regular treatments? What is a regular treatment you mean Zoloft? Prozac I don't know they just load you up with stuff And for that group the options are really limited so this new study found that IV ketamine could possibly be the next option for intervention and the treatment of severe depression We are seeing, I've been seeing it on social media and some documentaries about that use. You guys already used this in a hospital setting? Absolutely, so ketamine is something we call disassociative anesthetics so it's the way that in the hospital we use it to sedate patients and can be used for pain at higher doses and lower doses its found to be beneficial not just for pain but also depression at baseline and now were using IV ketamine

40:03 Depression at baseline. These are terms that are very important I feel but we're not being explained what it means for pain, but also depression at baseline and now we're using IV ketamine and hopefully if will provide benefit to those in need you know is this something that You can ask your doctor for? You know That's the problem access This requires not only a physician But also monitoring and also a plan so that you can have follow-up And so unfortunately it's not accessible to the everyday patient. But those that have severe symptoms in certain psychiatry centers, they might have that option available so you have to ask. All right doctor thank you! Alright thanks well go ask! Make sure to ask! Yeah make sure to ask! Ask please go ask! Boots on the ground my experience with Zoloft... I'll share my experience about 11 years ago was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis what is that? Doesn't sound good

40:54 No, it's spasms in the colon. Oh goodness! I was having a hard time coming to terms with this and tried talking with the GP about it...about what I was feeling He prescribed Zoloft I used it for about two months. My family, roommates even strangers would comment on how angry i was while i was on it." Did a podcast! Yeah start podcasting...I concluded that always being angry wasn't better than being sad. I never used any other drugs for depression and my outlook on life has improved over time talking with people who've had similar experiences and can empathize was much more helpful in this regard. I mean Zoloft at so many Zoloft is like handed out like candy

Testosterone Replacement Therapy and Hormone Monitoring

A producer shares a detailed account of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), emphasizing the risk of testosterone converting into estrogen and causing mood swings. The discussion highlights the necessity of using aromatase inhibitors and close medical monitoring. The hosts express concern that these complexities are being ignored in the broader distribution of hormones to young people.

testosterone· trt· estrogen· hormones· trans healthcare

41:32 Just like candy. That's what is so many podcasts. And then I had a interesting note from producer Rob about testosterone, and i'll just move into some of the headlines here in a moment about the trans Maoist movement And he says, hold on a second. Testosterone is getting a bad rap! It's being framed I was on testosterone for about seven years Being from Holland makes this complex because no doctor knows jack shit about hormones That is a true Dutchman Having used steroids when I was in my late teens I damaged my hormone production by the age of 35 This was becoming noticeable feeling depressed

42:13 a week, hard time sleeping etc. A lot of psychological issues only a few physical ones so we started on testosterone replacement therapy TRT as what women also use and of course what happens is it's a base hormone that turns into estrogen In the body and he says estrogen. He thinks is the problem in high levels it leads to mood swings And you know PMS would be high estrogen related with the body trying to get back to homeostasis after testosterone injections and trans people this leads two huge levels of estrogen

42:49 This is why aromatase inhibitors need to be taken. His bottom line is, he says this is trial and error for each individual person you can't just hand out testosterone willy-nilly it has to be closely monitored and that's the part that rang true to me It's like yeah! That makes sense they're probably not monitoring these children young people or anyone of any age really on what they're giving them so You know, it's not the idea of monitors that what you wanted. Do you just want to get this stuff out of there? Charge insurance companies make them pay which they required to do and so they're paying through the nose which means all our rates go up for these characters and They get your seven million dollars out of the person whether they've saw what happens to him who cares boots on the ground from

Bud Light Boycott Impact at Columbus Brewery

A frontline worker at a brewery in Columbus, Ohio, reports that production lines were completely halted over the Memorial Day weekend due to the ongoing Bud Light boycott. Long-term employees noted that such a shutdown is unprecedented in the facility's 30-year history. The hosts view this as evidence of the boycott's tangible impact on the brand's supply chain.

bud light· anheuser-busch· columbus brewery· memorial day· boycott

43:44 a frontline worker at Columbus, Ohio brewery who has been keeping me up to speed on their schedules and for that. So the schedule is the lines you know because this is an assembly line and they have people working on the lines creating brewing beer and getting the brew the beer brewed getting into bottles cans etc and out and getting it out And this group who was I don't think we've discussed him was emailed before He says, wow you know we are patriots here. We are disgusted by what the pandering that Bud Light has done and just the whole Bud Light situation

44:22 And they sent me an update. Afternoon, Adam! It's working! Attach the manpower schedule for the Memorial Day weekend No lines are running This is unheard of I've spoken with employees here at the brewery that have 30 plus years at this facility They have never ever seen this happen before Tell everyone to keep pressing They are making a difference All the best on this holiday weekend There...I love that I mean they're so patriotic that they'd rather report on how it's working than fuss about... They know to take a cut and pay. That's pretty much what's happening. Our brand marketer is back to talk about what is happening with influence campaigns, and the blame around influencer selection regarding North Face Bud Light etc., few points just some insight of how the industry works, the influencer industry

CHAPTER 16 / 48 Discussion

Influencer Marketing Agencies and Corporate Disconnect

A brand marketing expert explains that major corporations often have little direct oversight of the influencers selected for their campaigns. These programs are typically managed by external agencies and low-level employees aiming to create "buzz" for Gen Z audiences. The segment details a specific instance where a controversial campaign was finalized before senior executives were even aware of the details.

influencer marketing· north face· bud light· gen z· webby awards

45:22 It's rare that brands actually select their own influencers. You have to be huge to work with brands directly as an influencer, this is typically done by an agency and it's normally managed pretty low on the seniority ladder although that of course now might change with all the risk most marketing execs don't actually understand social media or influencer marketing they green light influencer programs it's cute little ideas so they can say they are marketing to Gen Z I can see that totally being the case yeah you can see it Case in point, just yesterday I was informed of an entire campaign for a major product launch that was planned by one of our sub-brands with literally zero executive knowledge of the details of the plan. Even a manager in the digital slash social department for that sub brand wasn't aware of all the details

46:06 A new hire with influencer experience got tasked with making an online buzz-worthy launch promotion and chose a highly controversial LGBTQ influencer, planned the launch date on June 1 to coincide with Pride Month. And all anyone really knew was that there was an influencer campaign planned. Execs in PR & Marketing just got looped in and the entire plan was final and everyone is scrambling for a crisis plan! This is good news. Long story short, I can totally see an exec at North Face or Bud Light not even knowing what influencers were in a campaign some agency or low-level person found group of influencers gave them talking points that are product for the social posts and he also says if you want to make money with awards my team has won several Webby or Shorty Awards over the years we have to pay hundreds of dollars per submission well there you go that's how it works You got to charge people for submitting

Target Bomb Threats and LGBTQ Merchandise Backlash

Multiple Target locations in Utah and Ohio received bomb threats following the retailer's decision to remove certain Pride Month merchandise. While initial media reports were vague, police records indicate the threats came from individuals angry that Target "turned its back" on the LGBT community. This contradicts early assumptions that the threats originated from right-wing activists.

target· bomb threat· utah· pride month· lgbtq

47:04 I like that. So let's get an update on how things are going with these influencer campaigns, but more importantly with the targeting of kids we've been following Target We see that Walmart is now under fire for some of their LGBTQ plus merchandise And Target, well this is what happened. A bomb threat at multiple Utah targets today even forcing an evacuation at the store in Layton Thanks for joining us for 2 News at 10 Now this is an interesting story now I'll give you the punchline so that then we can listen to this report The punch line is that the Utah police let me see where's it they released a police report and this bomb threat

47:50 was in fact placed because of, as we predicted target not standing up for LGBTQ plus and unfolding to the pressure. So it was not from Some right as nut job I think we both predicted. Yeah, we predicted that but that's not how the reporting goes. I'm Heidi Hatch. I'm Mark Cabell please confirm along with Leighton that threats were also made in Target stores in Salt Lake City and Taylorsville and Provo they say there is no credible threat though Isaacson was headed home from Target and he was shocked to learn earlier in the morning police were investigating a bomb threat at this retail chain. It's awful, it's terrible. An email is sent to various newsrooms... I love that cut!

48:39 this retail chain. It's awful, it's terrible." An email was sent to various newsrooms it was three sentences long mentioning bombs and targets LGBTQ merchandise. I mean I live around here so it's not like something you want to hear that your neighborhood is potentially being bombed or at least having people call in bomb threats they've had a bomb threat. In Layton, police even searched and evacuated this store because of this and they've told all the employees to go things return to normal Salt Lake City Police also worked with area targets and found no threat I wanted to ask them about safety after this especially with Utah pride next week They didn't go on camera but said they are monitoring the neighborhoods nearby to be cautious

49:23 And Utah is not alone. Multiple reports show very similar stories happening in different states this comes as Target is pulling or moving some items from its stores after backlash over its Pride Month collection I have a trans girlfriend so it's like obviously, I'm for you know pro inclusion Isaacson was disappointed to hear all this Obviously unsafe It feels very like divisive trying to get people against each other. Especially with Pride Month around the corner So here's Newsweek, they write according to a release from the Jackson Township Police Department police dispatch received calls on 1240 regarding a bomb threat and here is the release and I'll read it

50:10 At approximately 1240 hours today our dispatch center was notified by the media, channel 19 and 5 news they received a tip regarding a bomb threat at four target locations including the Jackson Township location. The tips stated Target turned their back on the LGBT community and they placed bombs in all four stores." Well that's not exactly the way that report read now was it? Not at all! But this is now what is happening and we have to be aware This report from Deutsche Welle of all places is not a good development. There are fears that a polarizing election will further inflame the culture war in the US this week, the Department of Homeland Security warned of rise in right-wing terrorism. The potential targets including the LGBTQ community as well as racial and ethnic minorities

Socialist Rifle Association and Armed Trans Groups

The Socialist Rifle Association (SRA) is providing firearms training to trans people and other marginalized groups in Maryland to counter perceived threats. The organization, formed in 2017, advocates for armed self-defense among left-leaning individuals. The hosts express concern over the escalating rhetoric and the potential for domestic conflict as different political factions arm themselves.

socialist rifle association· guns· trans rights· second amendment· maryland

50:57 Now while the debate over gun controls remains deadlocked in Washington, one organization says the best protection for vulnerable groups is to give them guns as well. Rob Roys knows his guns inside and out. This is for the revolver, that's 9mm pretty standard 45 ACP for the fellow right there. He's a certified handgun instructor but not what you might call a typical one he isn't a police officer he's not in the military and he doesn't vote Republican he's a member of the Socialist Rifle Association and he knows his politics may be a bit out of place here at this rural shooting range in Maryland

51:35 When he talks about the training he offers, he lowers his voice. So for what we're doing the target group is to provide a safe space for trans queer people of color and other marginalized groups to get this training No teaching today, just target practice with fellow SRA member Eric to keep informed. In the parking lot a prejudice is confirmed A bumper sticker with an anti-trans slur Rob and I want to make sure that like there is pushback against this kind of shit That like trans people have a right to live

52:16 The Socialist Rifle Association was formed in 2017 and now claims several thousand members. This needs to be de-escalated, this is not good! A bunch of people shooting at each other eventually... It's really um this concerns me somewhat. Goes on the freeway around here And it's coming from the government and you might have seen the memo Oh my goodness, with Pride Month and with the election you're going to see nothing but homegrown terrorists. It's going to be all these right-wing... And if someone has a Trump sticker they're probably a Nazi! It's all Nazi it's all Nazi

DHS Grants and the Media Research Center Report

Brett Bozell of the Media Research Center reveals documents showing the Department of Homeland Security is using anti-terrorism grants to target conservative and Christian groups. The report describes a "pyramid" used in training that equates organizations like the Heritage Foundation and Fox News with militant Nazi groups. The Biden administration is accused of weaponizing these programs to suppress political dissent.

dhs· media research center· brett bozell· domestic terrorism· heritage foundation

52:54 We're not even knowing what a Nazi is. And then we have, I had to chop this down so it was Brett Bozell runs something called the Media Research Center which is kind of a nut job very right wing very alarmist type of outfit and so of course the perfect home for him is The Money Honey Maria Bartiromo on Fox Business and her hair is out of control! I don't know what she's doing with it but there's not any single modicum of symmetry? I mean someone, cut the hair down a bit Maria. It's just out of control but don't worry we got breaking news! A bombshell new report reveals that the Biden administration is using taxpayer money to rage a covert war on conservatives and Christian groups The Media Research Center, a conservative watchdog group obtaining documents showing DHS, Department of Homeland Security is using a program meant to fight terrorists which includes groups like the Heritage Foundation MAGA

53:53 news, even the Republican National Committee in the same category as Nazis. So they bring Brett Mozell on, he has this pyramid and this is from the papers you know because they gave out a whole bunch of money to people to study this and get ready and be prepared. And you'll root out the Nazis! And so he'll refer to this pyramid in in this chopped up version of his five minute report. There's the program called The Targeted Violence and Terrorism Prevention Grant Program This is supposed to find domestic terrorists in America it was started by Obama There was concern by Republicans that it would be weaponized against Republicans and conservatives. Trump put the kibosh on it, its comeback now with Joe Biden You have that pyramid where's that pyramid coming from? There are 80 recipients of money so far they've received 40 million dollars in grants

54:45 that pyramid. In the first layer, you've got Heritage, you've got Fox News, you've got Christian Broadcasting, you've got the Republican National Committee. Already more than half of America is on the list! The second level torques it up—more dangerous groups turning Point USA, Tea Party Patriots, Prager U, Breitbart that American conservative unit. Then the third level is pro-Nazi organizations and the top one is militant Nazi organizations so there you go the pyramid showing the progression of domestic terrorism associating Rhonda Sanders with the Holocaust. One speaker was associating Donald Trump with Pol Pot

55:28 the genocide guy to deny... Wait, you gotta listen. You missed it. Listen. With the Holocaust Unbelievable One speaker was associating Donald Trump with Pol Pot The genocide guy The genocide guy Paul Pott, also known as the genocide guy. One speaker was associating Donald Trump with Paul Pott the genocide guy to deny people to shut down their websites, to close their meetings and to physically prevent them from assembling in public All right so The situation the way I see it And you know there's plenty of time to fix this We all need to calm down a little bit

CHAPTER 20 / 48 Discussion

Ron DeSantis, Wall Street, and the Woke Gimmick

The hosts respond to listener feedback regarding Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and his focus on "woke" issues. They argue that the very Wall Street entities backing DeSantis, such as BlackRock, are the ones who pioneered the ESG and DEI scores driving corporate wokeness. They characterize the anti-woke platform as a political gimmick and point to a recent Florida law shielding SpaceX from liability as evidence of a quid pro quo with Elon Musk.

ron desantis· blackrock· larry fink· esg· elon musk

56:11 is we have people claiming everyone to be, anyone who's Republican I think is basically the idea because this is also political. Is a Nazi and we need to root them out, which is kind of by definition what the National Socialist Party did. They were Nazis so this is projection of the highest order now on the other side it's the war on the woke! War on the woke! We got a very thoughtful letter had thoughtful exchange with Linda one of our producers and the subject of her email was you and John are wrong about dissenters slash woke And I'll read this. You and John helped me through COVID by giving the truth on the vaccines, not stopping people from catching COVID etc., in so many ways you are great but always the social issues is like a scratch record which pulls me out of the song

57:00 Legalizing pot. Supporting abortion! I don't think we support abortion, okay? We don't support abortion where's she getting this bullcrap? And now saying that DeSantis is wrong to focus on woke the national sales numbers for Bud Light show that this is a perfect time to run against Woke For too long Republicans have ignored social issues and handed America over to the loonies on the left. From coast to coast we are focusing on social issues again, and winning! Read The Room guys you made other points about DeSantis that were good

57:38 such as DeSantis being backed by hedge fund traders and the establishment. Okay, that's objectively true and worth considering but his fight against the woke-ism is very cool and very timely I want the next president to run against Woke more than i want the next president to run against The Democrat thanks." And we went back and forth and she said you know...and now I started to kind of understand where she's coming from and I just wanted to stop and say because our point on the last show was you also have to be for something DeSantis in Florida, he's a lot of things economy etc. You know I think you could get everybody on board with the border situation and a lot of things but she is adamant about the woke and she measures the success

58:21 by what's happening with Bud Light or Anheuser-Busch, Target North Face soon Walgreens and I just want to remind everybody and so she kind of skips over the all right you know so DeSantis is run by Wall Street okay they're worth considering. The reason why these companies are woke is because of yes gee environmental social goals, DEI diversity equity inclusion and of course the ultimate which everyone is talking about the CEI scores. This is invented by Wall Street BlackRock Larry Fink this is invented by the very same people who are backing DeSantis which I'll take to your comment John that they're in on this they are there they would Wall Street wins

59:10 Whether these companies go up or down in value, they just want to know in advance. So you are being played with the woke winning. You really are! You know, yes it's great and ha-ha-ha. And I severely doubt actually that a boycott on Target will hurt them severely but we'll see you know it could the stock price is going down that hurts investors more than anything. It creates what you call a buying opportunity. It could be doing this on purpose. Correct So, the very same people who are funding DeSantis and this is public knowledge. This is not some big secret you know the Wall Street guys are coming out and saying it they are the very ones who created this situation with quote-unquote woke

1:00:00 So we have to be very careful about not, you know... We are literally in my mind being played by the money guys. And it's always the money guys! I still to this day believe that the whole reason for the lockdown was because of the financial situation with our treasury and the dollar and we needed to get money out of the system back into the system whatever they needed to do. We never fixed 2008 so the real problem, the real issue is mainly education, big pharma. These are the evil people and the education part you're not going to have President DeSantis is not going to remove despicable literature inappropriate for children from your local middle school You have to do that yourself

1:00:48 You really have to, and you have to check it even if there's laws. And we still have to be on top of that and as a community you need to determine for your own community what's appropriate No president is going to be able to do that President DeSantis cannot just make it all happen for you. And by the way look at how he I'll give you a great example of how he is all in with the system So he launches his campaign What is supposed to be the next best place for podcasts? Okay, Elon Yeah I'm not gonna put my podcast on that horrible platform. That doesn't work and then next day he signs into law Into if it's a law a rule that shield SpaceX from liability for all launches or flood launches in Florida That was a quid pro quo total quid pro quo

CHAPTER 21 / 48 Discussion

James Lindsay on Queer Marxism and Psychological Stability

Author James Lindsay explains the transition of Marxist tactics from class struggle to gender identity, specifically targeting the psychological stability of children. He argues that by destabilizing the traditional family and childhood innocence, activists create a generation of "permanent revolutionaries" who are dependent on the state and big pharma. The hosts discuss how this strategy aims to break down the conservative nature of a stable working class.

james lindsay· marxism· black lives matter· queer theory· childhood innocence

1:01:48 You help me launch Elon, you hype me up. I'll make this happen for you." Instead let's focus on what is really happening with our children And this is the only one clip today to discuss this. James Lindsay, who literally wrote the book on the new Marxism how they started with Black Lives Matter, how Black Lives Matter got transplanted into Trans Lives Matter that literally happened with a big celebration where it was Black Lives Matter and there's the trans lives matter stage which was 10 times bigger than anything else

1:02:24 And this is three minutes, so it's a little long. You can stop if you want and he explains exactly why Marxists the very people who are trained them the trained Marxist who did Black Lives Matter now have moved into trans lives matter not LGBTQ that's bull It's only about trans And it's an old, old, OLD system. There is this long history though of Marxists playing around with the idea of sexualizing the population, sexual liberation and sexualizing women and children in order to destabilize them in order to get the revolution To get them so agitated and stuck in their ways So stuck that they're being held back from who they could really be or what they could have in life

1:03:08 by the morality of the era so that they'll throw off their old values, they'll throw off their old culture and adopt a whole new one that's promising them everything that they want. The so-called Garden of Eden that we could get back into and the point is to destabilize kids That's what the sexual, the queer Marxist grooming part is for. It is a war on stability if we go back to the 1960s We see what the critical Marxists were writing about What they realized was that there were these various forces in particular advanced capitalism that were causing people to become stable The working class had become stable They complain about the working class becoming stable and say, we need a new working class. The capitalism doesn't immiserate the worker it gives them good life and makes them stable These guys realize that when you have stability you have people who want to keep this stable life that they have so they become conservative In other words specifically become counter-revolutionary And that is what they have to break down When we progress forward into the queer Marxist age post 1984 when Thinking Sex was written What we realized is well

1:04:06 Maybe they can't overcome this economic stability problem so well, but they can overcome psychological stability. So you have to prevent people from being psychologically stable You have to keep them constantly on their toes, hit them with psyops after psyops But if you make sure the children are never stabilized They're always ready to go do political activism because they think they live in a world that they cant cope with And the only thing that they know how to deal with is as the saying goes scream at the sky and take drugs that are prescribed by big pharma. We all saw the Trump election, and people falling on their knees and literally yelling at the sky or showing up in doing political activism or showing up by the millions in communist organized marches that look like they weren't communist organized marches like the women's March, the so-called science March. All they know to do is show up when George Floyd dies and start throwing bricks at buildings

1:04:56 changing their social media profile, bullying anybody who doesn't go along cutting off their family ties specifically around that incident and others. That's the goal is to make sure there is no psychological stability we have to pay attention to the irreparable mental and emotional harm were doing toward children as well We're talking personality disorders being induced that will take years and years of therapy if they can ever be resolved Secondly, we are severing relationships with the family and even with friends so they don't have a grounding outside of the cult. This is literally part of the cult transition process, the cult induction process. And thirdly it is to sever relationships with their religion in prevailing cultures that you can outwith the old and inwith the new

1:05:44 by getting the whole new generation to want to reset the culture that they live in, into something different. And so they target children, childhood innocence which is a narrative used to protect children from... not all children benefit from it you have innocence privilege or whatever within critical race theory it's an aspect of white privilege that white kids don't have to grow up thinking about race where everybody else does That's an aspect of white privilege. It is an aspect of male privilege, that you don't have to grow up worrying about what it is like to be a vulnerable woman. It is an aspect of straight privilege not having to consider yourself free or weirdo and get bullied for being different or whatever else. So childhood innocence is reserved for some children but not others therefore that is an imbalance that has to made equitable so let us just make sure nobody has childhood innocence because equity always equalizes downward

1:06:32 Never upward sales pitches up reality is down every single time I've watched hours and hours of this guy That's the most distinct. I could ever get from him and notice how the problem is people are comfortable so they become conservative So that's where your politicians Democrats jump in There they become destabled Oh, wow these are perfect for our pharmaceutical drugs put everybody into social media so we can confuse them, we can mind control them, psyop them. That's what going on! I don't know if DeSantis is safe... Well in regards to the letter you received complaining about our coverage Woke in the case of DeSantis is a gimmick Yes It says it's a massive gimmick he's got nothing else going on and your right You have to be for something Is this a known fact?

Wiscon Convention Policies and Human Composting

A listener describes the radical shift at the Wiscon feminist science fiction convention, which now mandates masking and prioritizes speakers based on race. The conversation shifts to the irony of secular activists declaring certain lands "sacred" to stop development while simultaneously supporting human composting laws in California. The hosts critique the lack of logical consistency in these cultural movements.

wiscon· madison· feminist sci-fi· human composting· burial grounds

1:07:28 not against something to do well. And this being woke goes to die and all the rest, now what you just played which was great by the way I want to read another letter. This is from our producer Rachel who we've gotten to know quite well. ITM there's a science fiction convention held every year in Madison Wisconsin called Wiscon and it started in the 70s as a feminist sci-fi convention Basically so female sci-fi fans could gather where they wouldn't be heckled or shunned by the overwhelming male population of mid 20th century sci-fi conventions, according to the original organizers. Fast forward to 2010s before most people had heard safe spaces are pronoun tags Wiscon was doing them! I would attend panels and just ignore other crap which wasn't too hard

1:08:24 Then last year, Wisconsin sent out an email telling everyone who was planning to come that if they weren't a person of color they should be quiet and let the preferred races talk. I was so offended that I didn't even think of attending! I go to their website this year and find you can't even attend unless you've had a COVID vax and intend to mask the whole The whole time. My friend who went said, it's so sad masks everywhere when no one wears them anywhere else in the city and she goes on and on about this and that's the kind of craziness that has been taking over this and that. And what I thought was so astute is what you wrote in the newsletter about protected lands and burial grounds

1:09:15 Oh yeah, I've commented on this on the show quite a bit. Where you have a group... just to summarize, you have reporters and let's say Amy Goodman and others who are avowed atheists And they make a big stink about it because you know, atheism is kind of a religion in itself and so you're an atheist. You make everyone know it for some reason I don't care how people feel about things but the atheists like to let everyone know they're atheists but yet When somebody digs up an old Indian bone, these atheists all of a sudden they're oh my god is sacred land. It's sacred sacred and it makes no sense to me that if you're an atheist that anything like that is sacred

1:10:03 What's the logic? Especially when you add in that the trend is to turn dead people your... Oh yes, it was based on the article about we're mulching in California. We're number one by the way! Number one for mulching humans! So you can just spread grandma and grandpa anywhere and use as fertilizer But oh boy, if it's some Indian burial ground the world has to come to a screeching halt. Yeah people should read the news though it's a good little article. Hey subscribe to that! I don't get why they don't...

Meta's Twitter Competitor and Mastodon Integration

Meta is reportedly developing a decentralized Twitter competitor integrated with Instagram that will be compatible with protocols like Mastodon. The hosts note that Meta has been quieter about AI than its competitors, instead focusing on releasing open-source foundation models. They speculate on whether this move is a strategic attempt to sabotage other tech giants' proprietary AI efforts.

1:10:46 They unsubscribe, it's just beyond me. No well yeah So typically at the end of this kind of talk we'd have a TikTok report I don't see any TikTok clips. I'm a little surprised Yeah, I try to spread them out a little bit Well with that I'd like to thank you for your courage in the morning To you the man who put the C in the Chinese de minimis ladies and gentlemen say hello to my friend on the other end Mr. John C DeVore Well, in the morning we move Mr. Adam Kirk. All the morning it's just to see boots on the ground feeding the air, subs in the water and all the names of knights out there. And in the morning for the trolls... Let's see here... Hands up! Hands up! Oh no they're scurrying away. Ah yeah a lot of them running away but I was able to count them real quick We have 2087 trolls on this Memorial Day weekend hanging out What do you have? No families?!

1:11:34 You got no families? Or are you just sitting there with the thing in your ear, listening away like hehehehe. Just smiling hehehe while everyone's doing the cookout. That's 15 to 20 percent lower. Well okay but still it's not bad and you should stick around I wouldn't just leave now because a lot more show on the way And you know the donation segments is where we have all the interviews so you may want to listen for our special guest. The trolls are listening in Troll Room. We also had during, and people know this and some people don't but people who bail out they don't know that during the donations segment we give out a secret number Yes that's right That you can use to win prizes. Yes valuable valuable prizes we might point out trollroom.io is where you can listen along

1:12:20 And also be in the in the troll room and interact. So we're so interactive you can also interact with us at Noah Jenna social comm follow Adam a no agenda social to calm John C Dvorak and Noah Jenna social com it's still a cool place to be By the way, gosh, I'm very burpy today So where was this? There was an announcement which no one really picked up on Reuters. Meta, that's your Facebook and Instagram company has been contacting talent agencies and celebrities to gauge their interest in trying an early version of a new Twitter competitor which will be integrated with Instagram check it out here's the quote here's the quote

1:13:10 The decentralized app is built on the back of Instagram but will be compatible with some other apps like Mastodon. Whoa, how about that? That's a step forward It might be it might be notice there probably used to be another dud mastodon instance Possibly. Notice that Instagram and Facebag and the whole meta family, they're not walking around going AI AI AI! They're not doing that. They are in fact the ones that released into open source their foundation model so I'm thinking that was perhaps a sabotage bomb launched on other... well we'll talk more about AI AI AI later

1:14:01 Which I think is how we should all talk about it. Okay, we handled that of course value for value We do not take any creepy commercial...any commercials! You know what? We're not beholden to Big Pharma There's no one who can tell us what to do or what not to do Or what to say or would not to say. We don't need to have a label on our content so that were brand safe and suitable uh-uh No No, we exist because of the people who are actual producers of the program. When I say producers, we have producers who give us content boots on the ground send us clips local bits of information everybody is an expert at something so when it comes down to it you have an expertise You hear us fumbling and bumbling set a straight or get ahead of us And let us know what's going on in your particular area of expertise

No Agenda Episode 1558 Artwork Review

The hosts review the artwork submissions for the previous episode, focusing on a piece titled "Media Ties" featuring Russian mercenary-themed cigarette packaging. They discuss the technical merits of the design, including color contrast issues for colorblind viewers. Other discussed pieces include a satirical "Seattle's Best Fentanyl" trailer and a tribute to the late Tina Turner that was deemed inappropriate for the show's timing.

podcast art· wagner group· seattle· san francisco· tina turner

1:14:49 And we have them all, everywhere. I mean it's just unbelievable how many people in trades—just trades business stuff that people do right up to even the hallowed halls of Congress we have people. We have people in three-letter agencies who typically just like to let us know that they're listening and having a good time listening to us getting it mostly right And we also have executive producers and associate executive producers just like Hollywood, they fund the operation. We'd like to thank those! And we have people who deliver time and talent in addition to the treasure... ...and that would be our artists Our artists, our beloved artists and every single show we have a new piece of artwork delivered by one of our artists. And we are very pleased and very happy with the artwork for episode 1558 We titled that Media Ties which turns out is has nothing to do with media. And we thank Correct Da Record for what I really liked... There was controversy amongst the two of us

1:15:49 for technical reasons. This was the neonicotine Russian mercenary cigarettes, totally Russian warning more dangerous than Wagner Group we both loved it but John had some very very valid concerns I did not hear anyone mention that they was hard to read and he said it was my own fault because of my colorblindness that I did not have the same experience as most people But we chose it anyway, and I appreciate you buckling to my pressure. Yeah yeah your bossy well the problem I had was I don't remember which one I was promoting Let me see you were promoting a number of them you liked I liked a lot of these pieces but I couldn't really

1:16:38 I mean, I like this piece generally. I just did not like light blue on a rich yellow which is not contrasty enough for my taste and it should have been more contrasting the light blue should have been some dark blue would have been a good idea or Ukrainian Blue would have been a good ideas Sweden blue would have been a good idea any blue but your colorblind as far as you're concerned It was black on white I like contrasty as a word, as a technical term. It was not contrasty enough. Now what you liked was the Seattle on Drugs by Correcta Records same artist of course which is the trailer selling and that it was free for the homeless and they were selling crack pipes etc which is very tiny letters on the blackboard that's the one you liked. Alright? It was easy to talk you out of that

1:17:33 There wasn't anything that lots of podcasts still like their free for the homeless trailer. The New York one is probably it'd be better if you put a person in it, but he could have made this one funny by putting some bonehead into the trailer like he did with the other one I liked this piece a lot Seattle's best fentanyl San Francisco would be a good place to put this they're dropping dead like flies here yeah It could be reworked Well, I'm glad we chose the the neonicotine. It was also correct a record capitalist agenda had A nice piece that melting mediatized minds But we really it was just it was a lot of what? It was nice piece but which is couldn't really place it within context of the show without knowing Without reading the title which is this often a problem, you know people who put the title in there

1:18:26 We both liked Tiny Turner. We liked it, but... By Dame Kenny Bennett! But you being a stick in the mud I didn't want to. She's dead! You're making fun of the dead It's not cool man. That's just not cool. I had a relationship with Tiny Turner. Moosh over the house never. Well, I had dinner with her. I had lunch with her that counts for some friendship We did a whole concert with her, we did a rock night with her. Yeah it's fine but this... It was a funny piece! It was an inappropriate timing that's all.

AI Medical Exams and Clinical Accuracy

A study published in the American Journal of Gastroenterology reveals that ChatGPT scored 65% on medical board exam questions, falling just short of the 70% passing grade. While the AI struggled with more complex questions and lacked the ability to process medical imagery, researchers suggest it could eventually become a clinical tool. The hosts debate whether a 95% accuracy rate is necessary for AI to be useful in a hospital setting.

That's exactly what I told me You need them. You need to put in a little like Prompt box so people understand that was the prompt said prompt Cut colon. I'm just giving exact words. I gave it and I'm just giving you some visual Tips, I don't know what more I can do

1:40:44 I guess that's it then. Well, anyway yes i loved it! And that shows you how great the AI is at understanding English. Guy eating a hamburger what do we get? We got a guy with half the hamburger on the top of his head... It was very funny ABC Good Morning America, the third hour. Dr. Sutton checks in... It is now time to talk about CHAT-GPT and is it smarter than your doctor? Artificial intelligence has become such a topic that the trending topic now is can artificial intelligence take your job and I have to say as a physician when I looked at it of course not but a new study tells me that might not be the case In this new study from The American Journal of Gastroenterology they use CHAT-GBT which is a common artificial intelligence app

1:41:30 and they submitted questions from their common board exams. And what score do you think that ChadGBT got? Oh, whoa! What score do you think ChadGBT got John on the board entrance exam?! What do ya think!? What do ya think!? What do ya think!? I don't know... That's a guess Past do you think that chat GBT got give you just to give you some understanding a passing score is 70% Let's say 75 80 okay, it scored 65 percent Oh listen everyone go, oh too bad the stupid computer couldn't be as good as a doctor. Okay it scored 65%. As the questions began to get more and more difficult it began to get less and less accurate and also caveat in this is that they did not produce pictures for CHATGBT which obviously are part of normal medical exams but

1:42:23 But the interesting part is that artificial intelligence is called that because it can continue to learn. And so the question now, what can we do with this information? How can you use this for clinical interventions?" Clinical interventions, oh it's getting exciting. Can we use this? Is it the way of the future Dr. Sutton? And I know its too early to tell but what is the possibility that this could be the way of the future You know I think there is a very very real possibility Very very real That this will involve in clinical medicine To be a tool in clinical medicine something has to have more than 95% accuracy Obviously with today score were not there yet But can we get there and I think so You sound like one of my professors. We're not there yet. But not a replacement. Exactly, like that. What'd you say? Hey if you can pass the exam with 75 percent why do you need 95 accuracy in the clinic? You don't! You need 95% accuracy on the test?! You think that would be good enough wouldn't ya?

AI-Discovered Antibiotics and Machine Learning

Researchers have used artificial intelligence to identify a new antibiotic effective against the drug-resistant bacteria Acinetobacter baumannii. The hosts critique the media's personification of bacteria as "smart" and clarify that the process is actually high-speed machine learning rather than true intelligence. While successful in mice, the drug faces years of human clinical trials and the challenge of pharmaceutical profitability.

antibiotics· bacteria· machine learning· cnn· drug resistance

1:43:21 I don't know what they're thinking over there, Good Morning America. CNN already has proof that it's working! Researchers using artificial intelligence say they found an antibiotic that works against a drug-resistant bacteria found in hospitals In fact the compound was so precise it could target the problem pathogen and leave beneficial bacteria in its place. Let's bring in our CNN senior... I call bullshit What? I wish you could have ISO'd that.

1:44:05 It really is, Papi. That is a great way to put it! This is so exciting! Developing new antibiotics has been so difficult especially against this bacteria called Asimitobacter baumanii What is that? What is that? Asimictobaumanii Are you familiar with this form? I've never heard of it. Okay, sounds like a tropical drink. It's called Acetamidobacter baumannii. It is smart! It is super smart! It got straight A pluses in school because it has learned to outwit nearly all... What kind of doctor describes

1:44:42 A bacteria is smart, super smart. A pluses all through school they graduated with honors. Almanii it is smart! It got straight a-plus in school I am sure because it has learned to outwit nearly all of the antibiotics that we throw at it sometimes all the antibiotics that we throw at it with AI what you do is that the computer learns and learns what's working and what's not so you can test many, many more properties or many molecules. Many more potential drugs at once you can do hundreds of millions you can do a billion and until you land on the right ones

1:45:18 So what I'm taking away from this is that they're using an algorithm which doesn't sound like intelligence to me It sounds like an algorithm with a fast processor That does trial and error very very quickly machine learning might be a more accurate statement But oh, no. This is just this is fabulous these researchers They came up with one they put it on a mouse who was wounded and had an infection with that fact bacteria and they found that not only did it work, but it didn't harm the good bacteria. Now I will say this is a great day to be a mouse This is a wonderful day to be an infected mouse This is not going to be on the market for humans anytime soon It takes years because you need to make sure this is safe And he needs to convince a pharmaceutical company that they'll make money off of it

National Eating Disorders Association Replaces Staff with Chatbot

The National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) fired its entire helpline staff and replaced them with a chatbot named "Tessa" shortly after the workers voted to unionize. While the organization claims the chatbot provides effective therapeutic techniques, critics argue it cannot replace the "listening ear" of a human volunteer. The hosts suggest this is a preview of how AI will be used to bypass labor unions.

1:47:30 Neurology... neurotechnology rather company which aims to develop brain implants to help people who are paralyzed walk again. In a tweet, Neuralink says recruitment for the trial is not yet open and the company has was launched in 2016. Okay you're fired worst read ever now there is one area which I picked up from NPR there's one area where particularly of the chat GPT variety, will in fact dominate over human beings in very specific situations. And the title of this report is Can a Chatbot Help People with Eating Disorders Just as Well As A Human Can? and a little spoiler an organization indeed decided to

1:48:31 take away their phone operators and replace it with a chatbot. particularly in the United States, might be a big hit to use AI. Nearly 70 000 people last year reached out to a helpline operated by the National Eating Disorders Association those numbers had more than doubled during the COVID emergency and they still haven't returned to pre-pandemic levels but now the association is shutting down that helpline in favor of a chat bot Kate Wells with Michigan Radio has more. The Helpline is run by just six paid staffers, a couple supervisors and they train and oversee up to 200 volunteers at any given time the staff felt overwhelmed under supported burned out there was a ton of turnover so the helpline staff voted to unionize. So cliche but like we

1:49:24 We did not have our oxygen masks on and we were putting on everyone else's oxygen mask. And it was just like becoming unsustainable." Managers at the National Eating Disorders Association, or NIDA also thought that this situation was becoming unsustainable in March the helpline staff formally notified NIDA about their unionization Four days later, they were in what seems like a pretty routine virtual staff meeting and PR obtained audio of the call. And abruptly Nita's board chair Jeff Craddock fired all the helpline staff after more than 20 years. The help line was being shut down instead. Craddock said Nito would be transitioning to a chatbot

1:50:06 named Tessa. This is Dr Ellen Fitzsimmons-Kraft, she's a professor of psychiatry at Washington University Medical School. Nita paid her team to create Tessa a few years ago and right now the chatbot can walk a user through a specific series of therapeutic techniques about something like body image. It's not an open ended tool for you to talk too and feel like your just gonna have access to kind of listening ear maybe like the helpline was. Tessa is not chat GPT, she can't think for herself or go off the rails like that. She's programmed with only a limited number of possible responses and Fitzsimmons Kraft and her team have done small studies showing that people who interact with Tessa actually do better than those who are just put on the wait list I think this is the future of AI Unionize? You're replaced with...a chat bot

Robot Call Glitches and "Pig Butchering" Scams

A host describes a technical glitch in automated robot calls where saying "hang up" causes the system to reset or disconnect. This leads to a discussion of the "pig butchering" scam, a long-term crypto fraud often initiated via "wrong number" text messages. Scammers build rapport with victims over months before convincing them to invest in fraudulent cryptocurrency exchanges.

robot calls· pig butchering scam· crypto· text scams· phishing

1:51:03 This is what it looks like. So you know these robots call every so often, with this Comcast or Spectrum and once I was a robot I found in a little glitch to use the term. Yes. So the robot calls and you recognize that not a recording but a robot's a difference. The robot you can interact with. Mm-hmm. So you say to the robot hang up And it does that? No, it resets. Oh It resets right to the beginning of the pitch at any point you can just say hang up and then it resets Then you say hang up again and then it hangs up oh and what and well done this with two robots Okay I don't get the robot calls so I get I get the Chinese calls you get those Chinese calls all with the guy speaks in Chinese

1:51:58 Yes, I do. But rarely. Maybe one a month in the Chinese dominated area so you'd think i get more but no. Right. I got another one of those phony baloney calls. What was it called? The pig call? They're gonna come to arrest you that's my favorite No this one is hey! I just saw you on the street are you home yet This was really good. You know, I have not gotten this call no it's not a call it's a text message so yeah 1130 to 1132 hey I just saw you on the street and I'm sitting at home like no he didn't and then 243 p.m.. Are you home yet? Now you know what happened I figured and a lot of people told me this is called grilling the pig or something And it's all it's all Chinese based even sometimes using like sex slaves to do this

1:52:52 But the whole idea is this is a very good sex slaves to do text. Yeah, it's a very very long game So the idea is you wind up talking to him as always gonna be some girl She'll send you a picture and she looks great dynamite And then she'll yeah and they'll talk with you for weeks maybe even months and then eventually It's like you know what? You should invest in this in this crypto coin and they have a whole phony baloney crypto exchange where they show your investment winning. Your investment is going up and going up, and it's great! It's fantastic! And you put some more in... You should buy some more. Oh we have a little dip there's some more. And then eventually all your money is gone of course. You're just looking at some phony baloney exchange thing they put up on the website They will take months to do this. And cleaning out people stupid guys of course

1:53:46 Wow! Yeah, it's a well-known scam apparently. It's a good one. You know I was talking with... man, I wish i had have a clip of it. I tried but I guess was a dynamic ad You know, the thing with Glenn Beck aired and we were talking about AI and he's all, oh! And I'm like nah this is bullcrap it's not gonna happen. It's not gonna happen like that you don't have to be so worried about its hype its Silicon Valley trying to protect themselves. Then they cut to a commercial and it's literally Glenn Beck saying AI is going to eat the world I really am trying to find that commercial of his. It's so beautiful, the timing of it! The best AI... Have you seen DeSantis as Michael Scott in The Office? Yeah, there is another one going around too that is... Have you seen the good... The thing I like most about all these crazy memes going around and video memes Is the bad lip reading of the last State Of The Union speech

CHAPTER 33 / 48 Discussion

Mandatory ID Verification for Social Media

The hosts predict that mandatory government ID verification will be required for all corporate-owned social media platforms within one year. They argue that the rise of AI-generated "disinformation" will be used as the pretext for this control mechanism. While decentralized platforms like Mastodon may remain exempt, major entities like Meta, Google, and Twitter are expected to implement these requirements.

digital id· verification· elon musk· mastodon· disinformation

1:54:50 I've seen a couple of those. I don't know if I've seen the most recent one Yeah, it was the 2023 state of the bad lip reading Well, I can tell you what this is This is actually this is where the danger or danger mean whatever you want But the better these these video AI Alice's calm video eyes vise The better they get them closer we come to mandatory verification of ID for any corporate social media site or anything you can post something on. And that I think, and Elon I think knows this he knows what he knows is coming that's why he started early with the verification with paying for verification. What good is it gonna do? If I get a thing I'm verified let's say and I've got paid my money to whatever had to do to get all my

1:55:44 my numbers and somebody passes me through normal email to some other back channel, gives me one of these videos. I'll post it anyway! Right but then at least you posted it and then they can go after you personally for posting that. For what? What are they going after me for?! You missed our disinformation bro! So what do they call this? They say is disinformation so I'm sorry was hoaxed Yeah, that's right. But you'll have to take it down and they can come straight to you That's the whole point What are they going to come straight to me and do what? Remove you so you can never do that again They're going... This is a control mechanism It's a control... It's a control mechanism

1:56:25 I'm just telling you what's coming, you know. Nothing is coming! I know YOU don't have to work... nothing is coming? You want to put that in the book there dude?! You wanna put that in the book!? Nothing is coming! Yes it is mandatory verification of identification is coming to anything any corporate website In a next year? In the next two years? In the next ten years what? Ummm one year from now One year from now put it in the book one year from now you bet Can somebody take a note on this because I don't have my book around. No run here from now mandatory Identification is required for what Facebook? Yes any corporate and he corporately owned User generated or user hosted site

1:57:14 So, YouTube... I just have to say it'll be mandatory for Google, for Meta, for Twitter, for LinkedIn. Masked it on? No! What difference does it make?! No, because that's not a corporate... they can't enforce that on corporate. It doesn't... Mastodon does not matter in this there is no money I mean it will be necessary for the new Instagram Twitter clone which if that integrates with mastodon yes only for corporate stuff it doesn't matter about all the other stuff is irrelevant to these people

1:57:52 So yeah, within one year guaranteed you'll have to show government ID to be able to post on any corporate owned entity. Okay I know you don't care but i'm just saying that's what's happening Well besides not caring I think it's no good Let's play a couple odd clips here okay How about the oh wait there's this thing going on in Texas they're making a big fuss over Oh uh our attorney general Yeah, I'm gonna play this. This is the NPR clip but i have to make a comment afterwards

Impeachment of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton

The Texas House of Representatives overwhelmingly voted to impeach Attorney General Ken Paxton on charges including constitutional bribery and dereliction of duty. Despite Paxton's status as a prominent Republican, a majority of his own party voted for the resolution. He has been immediately suspended from his duties pending a trial in the Texas Senate.

Sergio Martinez Beltran with the Texas Newsroom reports members of Paxton's Republican Party voted for the resolution to impeach The Texas House overwhelmingly voted 121-23 to adopt the articles of impeachment against Attorney General Ken Paxton, and majority of Republicans voted to impeach including GOP state representative death leech. He appears to show little or no contrition for scandalous behavior while in office. Paxton has been accused of constitutional bribery, dereliction of duty and retaliation against former employees. Paxton has denied any allegations of wrongdoing he's been immediately suspended from his duties pending a trial in the Texas Senate

Turkey Presidential Runoff and Erdogan's Twitter Request

Incumbent Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is leading in the presidential runoff against challenger Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu. The hosts discuss Erdoğan's request for Twitter to restrict content in Turkey during the election and the country's massive 100% inflation rate. Despite the economic turmoil, Erdoğan maintains strong support among rural voters.

erdogan· turkey· presidential election· twitter· inflation

1:59:17 Okay, so they go to all the reports you see or you let go to Google News or GOP GOP GOP GOP It's like they're making such a fuss about this guy being a Republican and at the fact that the Republican-led House and I guess the Senate will be next is voted get rid of him. The guys are bad actor You get rid of it what it doesn't got anything do with the politics at this point And this surprises you Yeah. Well, let's stay with politics of the big runoff is taking place as we speak in Turkey a turkey a This is probably the best report I've received because when we have Erdogan the incumbent Who was not a good actor as far as we're concerned although you know he has presided over the stewardship of turkeys NATO membership

2:00:11 Do you know anything about his opponent who is running against him? How would I know anything considering the media that we have reporting to us. Well France 24 did a pretty good job. They're buddies, yep! Let me tell you that the people walking into this building behind me are voters going to vote polls have just opened. Yeah, when it comes to the high points well Kemal Kileç Doğulu the challenger in this election has turned out to be a much better candidate than we expected he introduced a style of campaigning through shooting videos in his modest kitchen and posting them on social media that won him wide appeal secondly his

2:00:55 appealed to the minorities, to the Kurds and to the Alavis. One widespread respect among voters when it comes to the high points for Erdogan well that has to be the fact that he managed to retain majority support despite the economy being in the doldrums yes I will recognize that he's going all the time. You know, all the opinion polls were predicting that Kılıçdaroğlu was going to win this election instead Erdoğan has come out ahead when it comes to the low points of the campaign well for Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu his saying in the past two weeks as he has toughened his campaign to appeal to nationalistic voters is saying that there are 10 million refugees in Turkey and if he's elected

2:01:45 president he will expel them all within 12 months. Well this is nonsense there are not 10 million refugees in Turkey the real figure is just above 4 million and those refugees have jobs if you were to expel them suddenly it would disrupt certain sectors of the economy and secondly, it would be illegal under international law Now what is interesting about this guy, and I didn't know anything about it. He's doing viral videos from his kitchen gained super popularity very very quickly everyone's loving him and now Erdogan is pulling ahead do you think that the fact that Erdogan requested Twitter be shut off in Turkey has anything to do with it? That's what happened

2:02:38 He called up Elon and said, hey can you shut this down for a little bit? It's harshened by Mellow. And they shut it off and so now Erdogan is pulling ahead I don't know if we have the outcome yet. I think there are multiple runoff votes. I'd be surprised if he lost Erdogan. I would too but... But in most situations when you have an economy that you are personally responsible for tanking and he is… Like big time! Big time! He's the one who said, no, no. Let's lower the interest rates and now they got a hundred percent inflation. It's insane! The guy is an idiot when it comes to the economy he screwed it up screwed the pooch as they would like to say on this show but they're gonna vote him in anyway because he's got a lot of illiterate dummies voting for him out in the outskirts of town and we can win

2:03:32 And he probably will, and I think he's also got some media. Now he has the media! You know that Twitter was the secret weapon of this surprise viral candidate who of course also has a really horrible name because we can't pronounce it We don't understand what his name is. I've heard this thing clipped five times but still don't know the guy's name That's a problem Okay back to another angle here another different story This, I think is progress. Although everyone's getting all bent out of shape and i should have played this clip when you asked for the TikTok clip but this is the trans bikers in the UK clip that is on NPR and I think this is a kind of a semi-solution to issues that are undergoing

CHAPTER 36 / 48 Discussion

British Cycling Transgender Participation Policy

British Cycling has announced a new policy banning trans women from competing in the female category, instead creating an "Open" category for all non-biological female athletes. This decision follows a similar move by other international sporting bodies and aims to ensure fairness in elite competition. The hosts mock the terminology of "assigned female at birth" while discussing the implications for professional cycling.

british cycling· transgender athletes· sports policy· testosterone· open category

2:04:21 underway let's say in professional sports. British Cycling is banning trans women from competing in female categories as NPR's Lauren Freer reports elite cycling and Britain will now be split into two categories, female and open. Female will be for those assigned as female at birth along with transgender men who have yet to begin hormone therapy what used to be called the Men's category will now be called Open and it'll be for everyone else Those assigned as male at birth plus transgender women, transgender men and non-binary people. Transwomen have criticized this change it differs from the rules of cycling's world governing body which tests trans women's testosterone and lets them compete if their levels are below a certain threshold that group is reevaluating its policy though after a trans woman won a top race this month in New Mexico Oh I read the story i'm glad you got a clip

2:05:16 I demand now on every forum that asks for my gender, I want to be open. I want an open category What is that? You know it you think this is good. I think it's horrible. I think it's great! By saying you have women assigned female at birth No they're there women and then open. I don't wanna be in the open category. My man! If you're in the open category and your a man you have a good shot at winning Not me Well, yeah I guess you're right. You should be a woman. Thank you! There ya go there ya go... Alright now to the uh..I think one of the best stories is of course what's continuing to happen with Ukraine we have

CHAPTER 37 / 48 Discussion

Victoria Nuland at the Kyiv Security Forum

U.S. Under Secretary of State Victoria Nuland addressed the 15th Kyiv Security Forum via video link, confirming that the U.S. has been planning the upcoming Ukrainian counteroffensive for several months. She signaled that the U.S. is committed to building a "world-class deterrent military" for Ukraine regardless of how the current conflict ends. The hosts interpret her open-ended language as a sign that the U.S. is preparing for various outcomes, including potential territorial losses.

2:06:02 The leader of the free world Ukraine running around doing commencement speeches, though it was through video. He's done his world tour he's in a shopping spree he has asked everybody everyone sucking up to him giving them all kinds of awards and oh so beautiful and now I don't know if you've seen this, but Sean Penn came through and produced a new video for him. Tonight as this nation appears on the brink of a counter-offensive the Ukrainian army releasing a slick new recruitment video featuring latest NATO acquisitions German Leopard 2 tanks ammunition The US made Patriot air defense system and a call to arms posted by Ukraine's top general titled now is the time to take back what is ours

2:06:45 Earlier today, we pressed senior adviser to President Zelensky Mikhailo Podolyak on whether it was a hint on the eve of battle. He tells us the counteroffensive is inevitable and it's already started. This is not a matter of one day he says. We see the intensifying attacks on the Russian rear positions were preparing the battlefield for this new phase of the war There's new ammunition, more advanced weapons better trained troops close to the front line and it comes Podoliak tells us as Ukraine's Western allies are no longer afraid of the word escalation. What? No longer afraid yeah go ahead When did that happen when were we suddenly not afraid of the word escalation? When did that happen specifically Well I think that happened when Victoria Nuland reappeared on the scene

2:07:45 That's what I think. He has reappeared? Yes, where in the world is Victoria Noodleman? Is it this one? Edward Joseph Snowden? Yeah! Nope that's not it. That's crazy. Noodlemen? I don't have it You do have it. I have it, but it must be where in the maybe its mistitled oh man Oh Everything's missed everything yes everything is miss titles Okay well someone will help me with it yes at the get this 15th Kiev Kiev security forum the 15th I didn't I missed 1 through 14 and

2:08:44 Did you even know there was a Kyiv security forum? I didn't know. This we've been doing the show 15 years and this is the first time heard of it. Subtitle, fighting for NATO! Fighting for NATO that's interesting that's presumptuous don't you think Who was there our buddy Yats remember yats yeah yeah of course he had something from the famous FDEU clip Yeah And he now now there's a lot of subtleties here Victoria Kagan-Noodleman was not at the 15th Security Forum. She was beamed in from Washington, which tells me... So she's beamed in from Washington? It tells me that her girth is such a point now she can't get on a plane Let's put it this way Ozympic wouldn't wouldn't be bad for her I mean she has ballooned and I'm sure she can't help it. I'm sure it's glandular Yeah, I'm sure its glandular

2:09:46 But she doesn't dress very... I mean, she's still wearing the old stuff. You know? It was like no Vicky we could definitely help her out a little bit. The hair you could change so much the makeup we could do it. Okay this is big woman but we could help her out a lot with some tips but she doesn't seem to care Now, the fact that she's beaming in via video tells me that our support is waning a little bit. Or it's not as important for her to be there. I mean she's probably getting on a plane and go to Africa which will be the new theater for her

2:10:26 But she got a nice intro by Yats, and we'll listen to it for a little bit and then stop. Madam Secretary the floor is yours on behalf of the Kiev Security Forum we are very grateful and really commend the efforts that you have undertaken to support Ukraine, the Biden administration and your personally We managed to do unbelievable but we believe that Ukraine will prevail together with you Good afternoon everybody Arseny Ukrainian friends, it is an honor to be with you once again. Who would have thought that 15 months later we would be here with Ukraine not only surviving but with the prospect and all of our intention that she should once again thrive? That is what we are working on with you from Washington And even as you plan for

2:11:26 The counteroffensive which we have been working on with you. What? What did she just say?! That's war talk! As we prepare for the counter- offensive that we've been working on with you? Was she just powerpointing or... Mean that to me. That's a culpability right there Once again pride, that is what we are working on with you from Washington and even as you plan for The counteroffensive which we have been working on with you or some four five months We are already beginning our discussions about

2:12:15 with the Ukrainian government and with friends in Kyiv, both on the civilian side and on the military side about Ukraine's long-term future. Okay! So... The idea here is that the outcome of this counteroffensive which you've been working for four or five months it'll be the end of something whether I think she even said the Ukraine in the beginning there Whether Ukraine wins or Russia This is ending So I thought it would be most useful just to outline a few of the things that we were thinking about here.

2:12:52 as we go from the Hiroshima G7 summit and President Zelensky's historic appearance there after his tour of Europe in the Middle East to the Vilnius NATO Summit and beyond with your counteroffensive likely starting and moving concurrently with all that. So it is coming! She is even signaling when its coming This, this to me Is newsworthy. No one caught this, no one caught this except our producers First we are thinking about security that Ukraine is going to need a world-class deterrent military for the long term and we have said we will be with you for the long term so we are beginning to plan now what that military needs to look like So wherever and however

2:13:46 This ends we are not one year six years 16 years doing this again Okay, what I'm hearing her say is no matter how this ends No matter how whether you lose Whether you get devastated. We're gonna be rubble eyes to rubble eyes that's the term Thank You will be with you for and this was weird one year six years sixteen years What is on her mind? That's kind of what she said. Play that again, it's... She said we're not going to be doing this 16 years from now. We are going to need a world-class deterrent military for the long term and we have said we will be with you for the long term so we are beginning to plan now what that military needs to look like. So wherever and however

2:14:35 This ends we are not one year six years 16 years Doing this again You're right. So wherever however whenever however, this ends That's pretty open-ended instead of saying after were victorious I mean she's I think this is signaling a psycho look like so wherever and however This ends, we are not one year six years 16 years doing this again. That Russia will see that this one didn't pay and any future aggression will not pay that's number one. Number two is the strongest possible economy I'm going to guess that my friend Natalie Juresko spoke to that

CHAPTER 38 / 48 Discussion

Ukraine's Economic Future and "Cleaner" Governance

Victoria Nuland's speech emphasized the goal of a "thriving" Ukrainian economy integrated into the European Union, focusing on tech and manufacturing jobs for returning refugees and veterans. The hosts highlight her use of the word "cleaner" to describe the future of Ukraine, which they interpret as an admission of the country's deep-seated corruption issues. They remain skeptical of the "build back better" rhetoric applied to a war zone.

ukraine· eu membership· corruption· tech jobs· manufacturing

2:15:26 This is not simply a matter of surviving, but again thriving. And we believe that Ukraine has everything that it needs on its path to EU membership to play that essential role not just in growing and thriving itself but being part of Europe the broader Europe's larger resilience Because she cares so much about Europe. And this is going to be essential, it's gonna be essential... We'll play the jingle in a minute don't worry. Part of Europe, the broader Europe's larger resilience and this is gonna be essential for Ukraine to get those tech jobs back going. Tech jobs! Oh, oh Ukraine!

2:16:17 After you're rubbleized, you're getting tech jobs. Larger resilience and this is going to be essential it's gonna be essential for Ukraine To get those tech jobs back going those manufacturing job What does that mean backgoing? What is this English she using? Get those tech jobs back-going What does that mean? What is this, what kind of English is she using now? It's pigeon English. The broader Europe's larger resilience and this is going to be essential it's going to be essential for Ukraine uh...to get those tech jobs back going those manufacturing jobs back-going good job got back going so that This backgoing! This is crazy You're gonna get tech jobs back going and you'll get manufacturing back going

2:17:04 And then she used the Bidenism good jobs. Good jobs back to go with union jobs, but it's good jobs back going resilience and this is gonna be essential It's gonna be essential for Ukraine Learned code Ukraine get those tech jobs back going those manufacturing jobs back going Good jobs got that going so that your IDPs and folks who have left Ukraine have a reason to come home, but also when your soldiers come off the front so they have good jobs. And then you can be... Wait a minute! When your soldiers come off the front they need good jobs? What happened to that army?! To that massive force you're going to be building? You don't need them for that? They're being rubbilized John I think you're right this is over for Ukraine The engine of Europe's

2:17:57 revitalization as well. So that's the second piece and then the last piece is setting that democratic example not only for your part of the world but for the whole world you've already set such a spectacular example what it means to stand up for your own freedom, to stand up for UN principles And we know that the Ukrainian people are supporting a more democratic, more European, freer, cleaner Ukraine. Notice this! Notice not democratic free no, more democratic, freer! Did she say cleaner? Freer I think she said freer. Let's listen again We've already set such a spectacular example of what it means to stand up for your own freedom and to stand up for UN principles

2:18:44 And we know that the Ukrainian people are supporting a more democratic, more European, freer, cleaner Ukraine. She did say cleaner Ukraine! You dirty Ukrainians! What does that mean? Because it's corrupt!! Because it's a corrupt country. More democratic, more European, freer, cleaner Ukraine and that has to be an essential part of where Ukraine ends up as an example for the entire world of democratic strength That's going to require continued unity. It's going to require continued unity among your partners and within the governments of your partners, so we're working on all those things.

Russian Ambassador on NATO Escalation

The Russian Ambassador to the UK, Andrey Kelin, warned in a BBC interview that the provision of long-range missiles and aircraft by NATO countries is escalating the conflict to a "new dimension." He claimed that Russia has not yet begun to "act very seriously" and dismissed the impact of Western tanks and planes. Meanwhile, reports of drone and missile strikes continue in both Kyiv and the Russian border region of Belgorod.

andrey kelin· bbc· nato· cruise missiles· drones

2:19:50 For Ukraine. For either of our theories, especially if you listen to the Russian ambassador to the UK as interviewed by a hostile BBC interviewer I might point out It's a big idealistic mistake to think that Ukraine may prevail Russia is 16 times bigger than Ukraine Ukraine, we have enormous resources and we can... We haven't just started yet to act very seriously. You haven't even started acting seriously so this could get a lot worse? No I don't think so Could this go on then for 5 years or 10 years

2:20:29 That depends on the efforts in escalation of war that is being undertaken by NATO countries, especially by the UK. Sooner or later this escalation may go to a new dimension which we do not need and we don't want What do you mean then by a new dimension? New dimension it is a long-range missiles that has been provided by United Kingdom It is an escalation tanks provided aircrafts provide. We're not afraid of aircrafts in fact we have downed now by now 430 Ukrainian aircraft and provision of new it is only will add to these numbers He's laughing so go ahead bring more aircraft will shoot him down That's what he saying I mean, of course we don't really know

2:21:17 We don't know. All we get is, all we get over here is stuff like this. Overnight a series of drone and missile strikes reported across Ukraine including the capital region of Kiev President Zelensky says a medical facility was hit in the central Ukrainian city of Dnipro 16 people are reported injured including a six-year old and three year old military officials say They downed most of Russia's 17 cruise missiles and 31 attack drones. Meanwhile, in Russia a large explosion was heard overnight in the city of Krasnodar and a building was damaged there The governor of Belgorod is also reporting shelling He says four homes were damaged There were no casualties reported so far from that Thanks Poppy

2:22:01 Thanks. We know absolutely nothing we've never heard of these new places completely new Right, we don't know anything about this. Thanks poppy Yeah It's just like a hey, we got an update on Ukraine for today get both I got some things over here and some drones should yeah right put it up there put it in the music I Think that Newland bit is something's up with her? Yeah No well when she's not there Then something's up and when she saying hey, whenever however this ends don't worry about it. You know we'll get you some good paying tech jobs get back bought jobs back better or something is that maybe a build back better thing? No! No because she kept saying back. All right well let's go to some more weirdness around the world start with uh let's do Taiwan weirdness listen to this Jason Perry in CD News

CHAPTER 40 / 48 Discussion

U.S. Indo-Pacific Command and China Communications

Admiral John Aquilino, head of the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, stated that his mission is to prevent conflict with China but to be ready to win if deterrence fails. The Pentagon reports that the Chinese military has repeatedly rejected or ignored requests for high-level meetings and phone calls. Officials express concern that this lack of communication could lead to a "catastrophic miscommunication" over Taiwan.

john aquilino· taiwan· pentagon· ccp· indo-pacific

2:23:04 When might Beijing invade Taiwan? Admiral John Aquilino oversees the United States Indo-Pacific Command. Could we please get the schedule so we know when to ship our resources, our cameraman over to Taiwan Here's what he had to say about it What I can tell you is that Secretary and President have tasked me with two missions The first is to prevent this conflict And then the second one if I fail at mission 1 To be ready and prepared to fight and win He added that no matter when it happens. manned, trained, equipped, postured and ready to execute both of those missions. Speaking at a panel on Tuesday Aquilina also stressed the importance of communicating in order to avoid miscalculations but so far it's been hard to reach the Chinese side So there is a technical connection via defense telephone line that could be used

2:24:03 Now, that said... If there were an event I can tell you I would pick up the phone and dial it. Dial? Dial?! I'm not sure anybody would answer on the other side What kind of gear are we working with!? What happened to touch tone at minimum don't you have a speed dial now that said they still want to conjure those images of a red telephone you know with this hook or a cradle It's them, boss. If there were an event I can tell you i would pick up the phone and dial it uh i'm not sure anybody would answer on the other side Adding he is repeatedly asked to speak with his Chinese counterparts something Beijing hasn't approved

2:24:47 The Pentagon says it's sending out an offer to talk, but the Chinese regime isn't biting. The update comes from Eli Ratner, the Assistant Secretary of Defense for the Indo-Pacific Security Affairs. He says that Chinese Communist Party or CCP has rejected or failed to answer numerous requests for meetings with the US. That's including talks with Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin several regional commanders and civilian Department of Defense employees Ratner saying quote we've had a lot of difficulty adding that frankly the ball is in their court at this point. The official also pointed out that keeping open lines of communication is critical to peace and stability and beyond that necessary to prevent a catastrophic miscommunication and possibly war over Taiwan. That sounds like they're not really all

2:25:37 up to speed on their phone etiquette and technology. I think that this is just a kind of small indicator, we're trying to... We don't know how to do it because the Chinese won't even take our calls. Apparently! To go to China and come on if you're gonna do this Taiwan thing let's do it now yeah we're ready, ready to go. We've positioned everybody with a camera on them got boots on the ground. We have some guys in the Marines in the Philippines we get were ready to do it okay lets do it now Like they, you know managed to sucker the Ukrainians into getting themselves into their tit in a ringer with Russia. Good point! We did that. Good point I see you got a clip on this story so i'll play the setup for ya

CHAPTER 41 / 48 Discussion

Treasury Deputy Secretary and IRS COBOL Systems

Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo defended the department's inability to prioritize payments in the event of a debt default, citing the IRS's reliance on the 40-year-old COBOL programming language. The hosts mock Adeyemo's informal demeanor during the interview and his mispronunciation of the language as "Cobalt." They discuss the reality of legacy mainframe systems that still underpin global finance and government operations.

wally adeyemo· treasury department· irs· cobol· debt ceiling

2:26:20 Let me ask you, Wally about prioritization. I know Treasury has said it's not feasible to prioritize payments in the case of a default but what we learned from reporting after 2011 is that in fact Treasury and the Fed did have contingency plans You guys who weren't there then put together a plan to say here's who were going to pay you advised agencies about What was going to happen in the case of default? I'm just wondering if you are giving guidance agencies now If we're to default, who gets paid first? So I was in government in 2011. I've served at the Treasury Department for about 10 years now. Were you in the room for those? What?! When I was surfing! Hey man, I was there man! Yeah, I was there man! I was surfing and going to the meetings...

2:27:05 So I was in government in 2011. I've served at the Treasury Department for about 10 years now Were you in the room for those negotiations? That's what I was referring to Just admit you screwed up, ya dummy What I can tell you is that as the Deputy Secretary, I'm the Chief Operating Officer of the department and I am in charge of making sure we are able to make payments take in money And one thing that I think you know well Is that for example the IRS who brings in 95% of our payments their computer systems are operating on Cobalt. Oh, it's Cobalt! What? Cobalt?! This guy... this expert Wow okay clip of the day for that

2:27:47 I remember putting this together and like, oh this is definitely a win for the day. Hey man! Like... I've been in charge of operating on Cobalt. I've been in this business for 10 years man it's- The IRS uses Cobalt baby. The IRS who brings in 95% of our payments their computer systems are operating on Cobalt Oh brother This is our government So stone surfer, I think we should point out for those who are wondering why you think this is so hilarious It's cobalt COBO L Cobalt Cobalt is what do you cook with cobalt? This cobalt a rock isn't it all is an as a prize and element on the On the scale that is used in battery technology cobalts 95% of our payments their computer systems are operating on cobalt. Oh

2:28:43 A language that is no longer taught. They were built before we had the personal computer, before we had the ATM machine and because we've underinvested in places like the IRS and our payment system We're not in a position where we can make sure that we can make some of our payments Not all of our payments The systems are built to make all of our payments And the idea of us prioritization Is truly default by another name What? This guy's stoned He knows what he's talking about He's totally wasted He doesn't know what he's talking about Well, the only clip I have is that the default is it's a fake. It's a fraud! I have the clip that says this over yeah which oh here it is I got it House Speaker Kevin McCarthy announced a new spending agreement reached with President Biden to lift the debt ceiling after weeks of negotiations

CHAPTER 42 / 48 Discussion

Debt Ceiling Agreement and IRS Funding

Speaker Kevin McCarthy and President Biden reached an "agreement in principle" to lift the debt ceiling, which includes some spending reductions. A key point of contention was the funding for 80,000 new IRS agents, which McCarthy claims has been significantly curtailed in the deal. The hosts reiterate their respect for COBOL programmers who maintain the critical infrastructure these politicians often misunderstand.

kevin mccarthy· joe biden· debt ceiling· irs· cobol

2:29:31 NPR's Claudia Grisales reports the House is expected to vote on this bill on Wednesday. Speaker McCarthy said he spoke with President Biden twice in the final day of tense negotiations to reach an agreement in principle after weeks of negotiations we have come to an agreement in principle, we still have a lot of work to do But I believe this is an agreement and principle that's worthy of the American people. McCarthy was briefing his conference on the deals plan Saturday evening in hopes to release text of the legislation on Sunday aiming for a vote three days later. McCarthy said, The deal has reductions in spending and reforms to lift people out of poverty into the workforce. All right so this is not over? No it should

2:30:18 By the way, Shannon Bream had McCarthy on her show this morning on Fox. Yes And she is giving him crap but this has gotten crummy and he made an interesting point as a defensive kind of posture He says the 8000 new IRS guys armed to the teeth 80 thousand I'm sorry that's done that's gone What do you mean it's done? It's not in there?! It gets pulled. They're not gonna get the 80,000 IRS guys But man! What are they going to do with no guys and cobalt!?

2:30:58 By the way, we should point out that we have great respect for COBOL programmers. COBOL runs most of the big systems still in the world It's one of the best programming languages ever Including... this is AS400 machines This is mainframe Your airline still runs on it The airline systems You know, COBOL works In fact they can't transition off of it I think they stil teach it at some places Well we have a lot of dudes named Ben I mean, dudes named Ben who still speak the kobalts. Remember during the stimmy checks? They needed... And they said it then too those morons! They were talking about... remember we were laughing about it. Let me see there must be more kobalts. Kobalts maybe not but I remember there was more kobal type gaffes

2:31:50 Yeah, this is New Jersey. And secondly in our list of volunteers Judy not only do we need health care workers but given the legacy systems we should add a page for Cobalt. Wow! computer skills because that's what we're dealing with in these legacies. Chris Ryan is doing a heck of a job, but literally we have systems that are 40 plus years old and there'll be lots of postmortems and one on our list will be how the heck did we get here when we literally needed Cobalt programmers? These people should not be in positions of authority

2:32:32 If you can't even take the time to figure out what the most pressing issue is and call it by its correct name, you don't belong in that position. But I have to say yes! Yeah yeah so we have respect for COBOL and for the people who program it of course We're not idiots we know what it is... I used to sell a version of COBOL when I ran a little software company A direct mail software company A version of it? Like a like NPS It came from the Naval Academy It was a fork No, well you could call it a fork. It was just that it worked. Yeah no sure! It was designed for microcomputers Oh interesting ah you're always interesting John C. Dvorak I'm gonna show my support by donating to KnowAgenda imagine all the people who could do that oh yeah they'd be fab

Orca Attacks on Yachts and "Gladys" the Whale

A group of orcas near Gibraltar has been intentionally sinking yachts, a behavior reportedly led by a whale named "Gladys." Experts believe the behavior may have started as a defensive reaction to a collision before being taught to other members of the pod. The hosts discuss the intelligence of orcas and recount historical anecdotes of the animals in captivity.

2:35:21 I should stop here and at least talk about this for a second. So the Orcas in near and around Gibraltar are sinking yachts... I love this story! Because it seems as if there's a link to the story in the newsletter It seems as though this one orca, who they've named Gladys which may be the reason she's Earth. No kidding! Because you know an orcas name is never gonna be Gladys it's gonna be more like something like... Something like that. Ununderstandable and so Gladys has got bonked it seems by a passing yacht got pissed off and sank it And she's been teaching other Orcas how to sink yachts

2:36:04 in the Mediterranean and orcas tribes are about, they call them I forgot what they're called but their groups of orcas are groups about 40. So they have 40 of these guys and then as small as by the way can be up to 33 feet long and weigh 10 tons nice there used to be an Orca at the Redwood City's version of Africa USA Think was the biggest one ever in captivity and I got to see it once and anyone who ever saw this thing It had to just you'll never forget it. So it was the size. It was the size of the pool

2:36:43 It was probably um I think it was over 33 feet. It's like is like this thing would come out of the water It looked like a trailer tractor coming out of the water and then splashed down and soaked the entire audience Not just a front row wasn't it? He got a kick out of doing this wasn't an orca that killed a couple people in Right, there's one Orca you got pissed at a trainer and dragged her under Yeah, yeah, orcas are extremely intelligent free willy And they got rid of this orca and sent him out to sea as some sort of a goodwill gesture. Hey, if you've got a 10-ton animal that you have to feed...

No, no this i think is a competitor Oh my god! That was the best thing ever! Oh my god! Sounds like you. I couldn't hear it. I couldn't understand her. I'm your friend thank you. I think bummers let me see... Bummers

2:51:19 I think friends thank you. I prefer friend, bummer! Yeah, I'm your friend? Thank you! But yeah, I like that one...I think he got something there. I think he got something there. Okay well do you want to- where are we at? Well i gotta couple left over here that might be worth it this is kind of the annoying story of the week somewhat upsetting that NPR would develop the story and then even do an add-on at the end as though this is... This is a noodle girl. No, you! Noodle girl? We love our noodle girls. She has to have everything her way because that's all it counts Yeah of course And this is called the weird graduation story Weird graduation story A senior in the small town of Parachute Colorado wore a stole to graduation today with the Mexican and American flags on it even though the school district forbade it Alexander has more

2:52:18 Naomi Peña Villasano filed a lawsuit against the Garfield 16th School District on Wednesday after she was repeatedly told she could not wear the stole to her graduation ceremony. The judge ruled against her saying that any expression is subject to the school's discretion because graduation is a school-sponsored event despite the ruling, she wore the stole received her diploma and no one stopped her So I'm not gonna lie, i was super nervous about what everyone's reaction would be but just like my senior co-always stand up for what you believe in. I feel like that just overpowers everything. Fiasano would not comment on whether she would seek further legal action on the matter Why would she seek further legal action? What was the whole problem with this stole to begin with

2:53:02 Well, they didn't want it. It was one of those schools no you're wearing everyone's wearing the same thing Okay Yeah that makes sense where the same thing shut up why are you wearing this stole? No You can't wear and the judge said yeah, you can't wear it And so that's that because it's a school event now I mean there are some schools say I will care what you do I went to an evergreen College graduation my son when my son graduated at least one out of ten people there were dressed as furries But enough about your son. He was normal, but there's a bunch of furries there and they all thought that was great. Yeah hilarious. So now they're saying more legal action for what? Legal action for what?! I'm taking legal action!

2:53:45 So this is a kind of noodle girl who probably, when you find out who it is don't hire her ever. I have one last one here very very short or cut off short there's a new YouTube channel I've been alerted to called the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction. Well that must be entertaining Disasters are sexist. I think that's all you need to hear. Disasters are sexist! There you go everybody, that's it. That's all you need to know they're sexist even disasters Everything is yeah i'm surprised not racist oh well don't worry there are more videos on that youtube channel

2:57:58 You must comply. I mean, everyone watches porn. Another example is the array of technologies that potentially could help reverse the warming effects of global climate change One that has gained my personal attention is stratospheric aerosol injection or SAI A method of seeding a stratosphere with particles that can help reflect the sun's heat It ain't no joke The whole world will go up in smoke if we don't spray the sky But no man of men can come back to save the poor and flood the planet Stop global floods and fires but remember Kim, trail for conspiracies made by light This is the only way to save the earth from the rays Of the sun so the sky does leave a spray Irradiation means taxation of their carbon footprint And we'll spray them all like bugs while we live on
