Activists like Rokoya Diallo suggest institutional racism narratives are fueling the unrest in the banlieue suburbs.

In the Netherlands, the government mandate to reduce nitrogen emissions by 95% sparks intense protests from the agricultural sector. Dr. Patrick Moore argues that banning nitrogen fertilizer is a self-inflicted wound designed to artificially reduce the global population. Meanwhile, EU Green Deal chief Frans Timmermans calls for international governance of geoengineering to block sunlight, and the Supreme Court blocks Joe Biden's $430 billion student loan forgiveness plan. Additional rulings overturn affirmative action in college admissions and protect the free speech of web designer Lori Smith.

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak deconstruct the "splooting" phenomenon on NPR and the rise of lab-grown meat derived from immortalized cancer cells.

Bidenomics, France Riots, and Fourth of July Media

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak open the session discussing the definition of Bidenomics and its perceived impact on inflation and international funding. The conversation shifts to the Fourth of July weekend and the high salaries of mainstream media hosts like Al Roker. Initial reports of civil unrest in France are introduced as a parallel to domestic economic concerns.

Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest and Independence Day History

New York City prepares for two million spectators to watch fireworks while the annual Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest remains a focal point of holiday media coverage. Historical facts regarding the 56 signatures on the Declaration of Independence and the 1931 official adoption of the National Anthem are reviewed. The physical toll and odors associated with competitive eating are noted with skepticism.

02:04 He's also half dead fourth of July part one and this is just a little lead into what to do with this clips all about But I had to play it because there's a little gotcha in here. That's kind of interesting Two million spectators expected in person to watch the fireworks. In person? In person across, you know, rooftops on the actual Brooklyn promenade those types of places but then lastly I got a shout out for Nathan's hot dog eating contest right 76 that is the record for most amount eaten in that contest Can you imagine at one time It's it's one of the most disgusting things but you can't look away You know Oh I can look away I tune in every year

02:41 Every year he comes here and he sweats hot dogs. He like- Yeah, there you go. You get the sweat. Look at that. Oh my God! And it smells like hot dogs. There's a lemonade chugging contest too actually. Oh my gosh alright. Do you know what history about? You got some numbers about the history of Independence Day. I do well of course its important to remember exactly what we're celebrating here so 56 that is the number signatures on the Declaration of Independence John Hancock took up a lot of real estate on that maybe there could have been more. But we also got 1931 here, that is the national anthem. That was the year that it became official and this is interesting I didn't know this Okay so the guy goes on like a maniac Now you invite somebody over to your show and you discuss the fact that they stink?

CHAPTER 03 / 50 Discussion

Millennial Education Gaps and Declaration of Independence Dates

A media clip featuring millennial hosts reveals confusion regarding the timeline of the American Revolution and the invention of technology. The hosts fail to realize that fax machines did not exist in the 1700s while discussing the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia. Debate ensues regarding whether July 2nd or August 2nd is the historically accurate date for the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

millennials· liberty bell· philadelphia· fax machines· august 2nd· declaration of independence

03:22 Well, it's an ad. It's the Nathan's Hot Dog annual ad. Well they threw the ad in but they bring this guy in as a guest and I guess which makes some sense he stinks to high heaven. He exudes hot dog odor. Yeah! He is the dog gobbler He exudes through his pores. Okay, it's gross I can't wait for the next day because for them okay this guy with that so this is the next part is the relative Lack of education of the millennials is exhibited in this next clip. Here we go 13 taps on the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia They do that to represent each of the thirteen colonies and do this on July 4th It doesn't I don't know if it makes the crack bigger on the bell, I hope No, I don't think so What's the big number? The big number right here is actually August 2nd 1776 not to do the full history lesson here But the reason why put all his second year is because that's a date that the declaration was actually signed but he was approved

04:21 approved officially on July 4th. That's why we celebrate it on the fourth so what is that excuse to have 2 also my birthday. August 3rd they actually got 3 faxes of that so it was pretty good there we go We go. It's a joke. They didn't have faxes back then, but I went along with it. So I got you. Thank you very much. Right over. Okay. All right. First of all, you're right. It's an outrage that are making so much money for that. I mean, to not know the... Okay, I'm glad you got that part but so he says they faxed it and the three millennials there Not a single one figures out that August comes after July No! Not a single one figures out fax machines did not exist in the 1700's Well that was a joke He said had to say it was a joke because the two women They don't know what a fax machine is

05:22 They know what a fax machine is but they didn't know it. They were befuddled, the black girls looking back and forth like what's going on here? The white blonde is making the over her head movement and the Chinese guy says oh I was going along with it Al! And they say affirmative action is good. I mean seriously... So yeah, I don't think that I didn't see any but it did not fail. Yeah it was just beyond me that this was like these people okay well let me just ask you something here

05:59 So the whole problem I had with this segment is what i learned from the no agenda newsletter, it was supposed to be July 2nd not August second. No he never said that the august second was What they claim was the last signature finally went on the document. I did mention in there that the document was backdated Wow, and August 2nd... Backdated yeah Proves that it was backdated Well thank you July second was the official date at the beginning but they changed it Alright so of course this was the beginning of The Republic And we took The Republic from the French

France Riots, Nahel Merzouk Shooting, and Social Media Bans

France faces widespread violent protests and looting following the police shooting of 17-year-old Nahel in Nanterre. President Emmanuel Macron blames social media and video games for fueling the chaos, leading to temporary bans on platforms like Snapchat and Instagram during funeral proceedings. Over 900 arrests are made as riot police attempt to secure Paris and other major cities.

06:46 See, I'm going to bring it around now. We modeled after the French Republic and let's check in and see how they're doing! Tonight France is a country on the edge as another wave of violent protest erupts across the nation. Demonstrators outraged following the death of 17-year old Nael who was shot by police officer during traffic stop Over 900 people were arrested on the third night of protests according to France's interior ministry As tens of thousands of riot police descend on cities and towns throughout the country. French towns were set ablaze, thousands of buses and cars burned, fireworks launched at police. Some stores in central Paris looted. The construction site of the 2024 Olympic pool also engulfed in flames.

07:39 Niall's mother led a march in their hometown with scores of people chanting justice for Niall. Speaking out in an interview on French TV, she said I don't blame the police. I blame one person, the one who took my son's life that officer charged with homicide and he is currently in custody The French government attempting to regain control by suspending all public transportation today in anticipation of more riots. France's President Emmanuel Macron calling on parents to help stop the chaos, saying a third of those arrested last night were young people sometimes very young but it's the parents responsibility to keep them at home

08:16 Macron blaming social media for fueling the frenzy, but he's also facing backlash online after attending an Elton John concert amid the nationwide unrest. French officials desperate to quell the violence but bracing for another night of destruction as the nation continues in turmoil. Social media video games they could have thrown in Netflix. Netflix literally had a movie-a French movie Did you hear about this? Called Athena, which had almost this exact same plot. And I think a lot of it is a plot! It's so recognizable... You know justice for the kid, police brutality and racism, Black Lives Matter Yeah but there's also some State Department funny business going on with this

09:15 I'm going to make a correction. Yeah, yeah, I know what...I said it wrong the week the Republic came the French Republic came after the Revolutionary War is that the correction? Yeah, the French Republic was 10 years later And that was a short version, and the longer version took place later. But I did appreciate your creativity... Thank you! In this segue which we normally don't do. I was trying to get out of the hot dogs. The hot dogs were weird. It's just I was trying to help us here. Just trying to do something, doing my bit for humanity. I'm just complaining about the fact that American public is being

CHAPTER 05 / 50 Discussion

French Immigration Policy and Structural Racism Claims

Activists like Rokoya Diallo are identified as proponents of "wokeism" and institutional racism narratives in France, allegedly influenced by U.S. State Department training. The discussion focuses on the "banlieue" suburbs where North African immigrant populations face high unemployment and social isolation. Comparisons are drawn between French social housing projects and American urban centers regarding systemic distrust of police.

rokoya diallo· state department· banlieue· marseille· immigration· unemployment

09:55 led by the nose, by these overpaid morning hosts. Okay! Get over it! Come on let's get back to Le Wokeism which you know there was a...there's like this troublemaker in France she's also writing for The Guardian, Rokoya Diallo And, you know she's thrown a lot of wokeism stuff out there. Oh it's all racism and structural racism yeah institutional racism it's like America is racism whatever we say yeah well yeah she was taught by the State Department by our state department

10:34 I think there's a little bit in here, a little bit of possibly let's get rid of Macron. You know he's not on board with everything. A little bit of regime change going on because you know he was right up Xi's butt. Well he also got biting up to Putin! Putin's butt exactly exactly now of course this was easy to do this tinderbox has been around in France since the 70s you know, the banlieue as they call it. When they had...you know they got all the North African immigrants of course, they had a right because it was French colonies and they came in and said hey we've got some nice apartment buildings for you

11:20 Yeah, they put them outside in the La Defense and those other places. They put them in nice apartment buildings and now we've got what third generation maybe? There's no jobs! No jobs that's a real issue they won't give them work yeah actually there was a funny way that this was put on CBS What is the sentiment towards the police right now in France There is a lot of distrust. And the way the violence spread from the first night, from the suburb of Nanterre which has a high immigrant population and a high number of social housing projects it spread to similar suburbs around the country places like Marseille where there's already a huge gangland problem Yeah! To Lyon, to Lille where the immigrant population that first arrived in the 50s and 60s

12:10 was put in new suburbs and they now have had children, some grandchildren who've grown up in the system and don't understand why Mohammed cannot get the job that Pierre is getting. And so there's huge unemployment particularly among young men in these areas and that's why a lot of them are around and unhappy and have nothing else to do frankly So it looks like Macron I mean he's definitely blaming all of this on social media and you know we need to shut that down and the video games is my favorite of course. So when they buried this kid, yeah this is where the first social media ban started The French Arab teenager Nile has been laid to rest hundreds of people turned up for his funeral in a Paris suburb of Nanterre where he was shot dead some rode scooters alongside the hearse as it drove from a mosque to a nearby cemetery

CHAPTER 06 / 50 Discussion

European Social Unrest and Macron's Political Instability

Civil unrest is predicted to spread to the Netherlands and the United Kingdom due to similar demographic tensions and economic dissatisfaction. President Emmanuel Macron cancels a state visit to Germany to manage the domestic crisis, which follows months of protests over pension reforms. The hosts speculate on the potential for "regime change" or a shift toward far-right and far-left opposition in the French government.

13:06 Many shouted justice for Niall. Our Paris correspondent Lucy Williamson reports on the funeral Beside the discreet barricades outside the cemetery in Nanterre a small crowd waited for Niall's funeral cortege there was more tension than talking All filming, even on phones was banned. No Snapchat no Insta mourners were told. The message to journalists was starker get a camera out at your peril You know this is this is a social problem but not social media It's socialism and this is going to happen all across Europe And it's like the Netherlands man that's gonna kick off in the Netherlands

13:53 This is the same thing's gonna happen. You got a large Moroccan population really running crime, a lot of it... It's not going to take much! It really won't I got the PBS report of this and it just seems to, there's only 31 seconds so they're obviously not playing it up. Hmm why not? That's interesting let's listen. French president Emmanuel Macron has canceled a state visit to Germany after the fourth night of riots across France Protesters set fires, turned vehicles over and looted businesses. Police said they made more than 1300 arrests overnight The protests were sparked by the police killing on Tuesday of a 17-year old boy of North African descent who's been identified only as Nahel. The teen was buried today in the Paris suburb of Nanterre where he lived and where police shot him during a traffic stop

14:51 Yeah, PBS hasn't gotten any messages yet. I'm just thinking about the activists trained by the State Department and it kind of reminds me of something that one of our prominent state department members said let me see about nine years ago... I think that's still in play they don't care They're pushing it, they're pushing it. It's like Les Miserables! I'm waiting for the Les Miserable comparisons... LES MIZ! Yeah that's too intellectual. There is some of it going on France by the way just announced or Macron announced that he was building a new military hospital to prepare France for a possible high-intensity war

15:47 I don't know if it lost something in the translation, but maybe this is the high intensity war he was talking about. The UK is also building mega hospitals. Everyone's building mega hospitals somehow. I don't think it's for war outside of these countries and again... It could be for a pandemic! Could be for that or just locking a whole bunch of people up. I mean, I don't know prisons for that They're kicking they're kicking stuff off man Let's listen to the BBC again about Macron's popularity President Macron has now postponed a state visit to Germany That was due to begin on Sunday to deal with this crisis which comes after months of protests over his contested pension reforms David Shazam a reporter in Paris told us more about the challenges the French president faces

16:34 Trying to quell the rage on the streets appears to be gobbling up every bit of his attention. And he's relying on the police, but many of them are angry too! As they see it, he was too quick to condemn the officer accused of the shooting that triggered the chaos I'm not sure they've all forgiven him for that yet even though he's toughened what he is saying about the rioters and now he is appealing to parents to keep teenagers at home and stop them joining in the riots This is hardly a good look for a head of state and it makes it easy for the far right and the far left, who are now the main opposition to accuse him of weakness. Of failing to come up with ideas there's a sense that he's casting around for solutions even though he's growing desperate

17:22 And President Macron is also hampered by his unpopularity after forcing through those hated pension reforms without a parliamentary vote. Yeah, he's out but who's in? Is the question. Oh there'll be some other loser like Hollande that guy. Oh I've forgotten all about him! Whatever happened to our Belgian friend remember that guy Heiko Hermann? He was fun Paramount on a room boy the bell yeah, there's never been a good report or explanation for why this shooting took place

17:59 What, the shooting of this kid? Yeah. Well yeah there is he had there was a traffic well you're right it was not it's never a good report there's only reports... It was a traffic stop and he shot him in the head! I know the basics there was a traffic stop and then the kids started to drive off and they shot him through the window. This doesn't you know this isn't... There's video I mean you see the video of it You see a video from a distance that's from the other side of the car The explanation we never heard from the cops. Who needs an explanation? Who cares! Well that's the point, this whole thing is an op. Yes and I think we're partially behind it US State Department yes it's an op also what has France done for the Ukraine war nothing that would have they sent over let's go back to freedom fries yeah oh man forgot all about that do we have freedom do you know I guess we don't have a Freedom Fries cuz I think that was before that was more than before the show Rock War one

CHAPTER 07 / 50 Discussion

Dutch Farmer Protests and Nitrogen Policy Crisis

The Dutch government's mandate to reduce nitrogen emissions by 95% in Nature 2000 areas sparks intense protests from the agricultural sector. Farmers argue that the policy threatens 15 generations of land ownership and will lead to a collapse of the food supply. Critics claim the nitrogen crisis is a manufactured pretext to seize land for housing and industrial development.

18:58 So let's just stick with Europe. Now we have the Netherlands, they're cranking everything up in the Netherlands with institutional racism because as you know the Dutch were the ones who shipped the slaves and they also had Black Pete! Well no, the black Pete was the entrance into this whole conversation now they have Zeeland And which is, Zeeland is kind of this like it's on the coast. It's down south not too far but down south-ish and that's where you can go on vacation as kind of picturesque little villages but oh now we have a new narrative that they were the center of the racism

19:45 This is where they packed up the slaves, 270 thousand of them. And then the slaves tried to get out and then they locked him down They closed everything off and 270 thousand slaves suffocated to death The Dutch are bad and they need money. Money, money, money needs to go to the slaves because it's still hurting people today." It's the exact same Black Lives Matter, the same thing as the institutional racism in France Britain is about to get it and it's a Tinder box right now The Tinder box is lit mainly because of the farmers who are again out... And they're getting desperate Now they're really really ready to fight

20:30 They had another big protest. There's, I believe there is a version of martial law has been declared or emergency measures which you know whenever there's an emergency measure then they can basically kill you it's the same here of course and by the way how's that remember when that Dutch party of the farmers they won the elections? They were going to save everybody how's that going How is it going? Now because that was bullcrap. So now they're getting smart, the farmers and the people who support the farmers which is a large majority of the Dutch unless they block the roads then the Dutch are like hey you know I support you but you're blocking my way

21:14 they're doing little videos here's a video compilation of some farmers, some economists and there's one lone parliament member you'll pick him out then you know immediately he's the guy saying did tough shit. Our country is based on agriculture Why? We need to go my cows. Why? My farm needs to grow. Everyone has someone in their family who was once a farmer. The manure is in the redlets, which is ammonia, which is a form of

21:49 of nitrogen which is bad for the environment, bad for nature. They have declared that nitrogen is the major problem. Well I'm an expert in nitrogen and I dare to say it's not. It's a crock of shit! We are actually discussing waving goodbye to our farmers. 20 years ago you would not have dreamt that this would have happened. We had a lot of problems with nitrogen rules because our farm is near-to and in nature 2000s These are hardworking people, they're paying taxes They've worked their land for sometimes 10 or 15 generations

22:27 I think the political system like we have it in the Netherlands now is totally broken. They are really suffering Six farms have actually hanged themselves because of this new policy Farmers have to reduce the use of nitrogen Our government did say, we need to reduce 95% of nitrogen in this Nature 2000 area. Our intention is to explain why this is so important for them and for nature, but not to change the goals of the policy that's not the case it's not gonna happen They have created a huge problem for themselves and farmers are now really angry

CHAPTER 08 / 50 Discussion

Flax Building Materials and Global Food Shortages

New environmental regulations in the Netherlands suggest that farmland may be repurposed to grow flax for use as a sustainable building material. Meanwhile, one million Dutch citizens are reportedly relying on food banks as agricultural exports are curtailed by the nitrate directive. The shift from traditional farming to "green" building materials is characterized as an interference with natural capitalism.

flax· linen· agriculture· food banks· netherlands· capitalism

23:05 We're wasting billions and billions on a nightmare. The government has to do what the government has to do sometimes, which is painful but there is also 25 billion euro for small countries in the Netherlands to help farmers get a better life, to help nature restore. The facts they use are not connecting together We have a food shortage, water shortage and energy shortage. It's catastrophe upon catastrophe. The farmers are targeted and why are the farmers targeted? Because they have land! They need to build houses, they need to build factories, they need to build highways... They're not even hiding it So here is this statistic that kind of blew me away 1 million Dutch and there is only 17 million in the country and the Dutch

23:56 if not close to, I think the number one exporter of food products in the world from agriculture. One million Dutch people have to rely on food bank they cannot afford food and soon there's not going to be food because the eighth nitrogen directive or as they call it the nitrate directive says these millions of hectares cannot be used for farming The only thing that can be grown there is flax, and the flax will be used to build the homes that will be in that same area. Did you know that? That flax is used for building materials?" No! Yeah this was a thing a long time ago but it's back I think instead of drywall

24:48 You have to look into it. Yeah, no, I said yeah No the research here the resurgence of flax this is from 2023 as a building material It's environmentally friendly and I'll bet it does well in the rain But was it for thatched roofs? Is that stuff on the roof will flax makes linen and all linen you lots lots of other things but apparently softwood It creates a softwood so I mean it's like a compressed board Probably yeah probably particle board. This is gonna be great So you know the Dutch are especially the farmer they're mad they are so mad, it's just a little bit scammed They are being well The whole country is being scammed and I have a duchess them for you that I did by the way before you do the Duchess him

25:38 This is the classic example, you know people all I did capitalism's terrible. This is an example of what happens when you interfere with the market when you interfere with natural capitalism Exactly end up with these situations that are horrible It's all socialism now or as yes come Dutch The Netherlands complete socialist country or as the Dutch would say dar Zakman Brooke fun off makes my pants fall down I have no idea where it comes from. If you don't get enough food! Exactly, so to complement this issue i came across an interview with Dr Patrick Moore one of the co-founders of Greenpeace. You'll remember well...you'll remember? I don't know if anyone else remembers.

CHAPTER 09 / 50 Discussion

Dr. Patrick Moore on Haber-Bosch and Population Control

Greenpeace co-founder Dr. Patrick Moore explains the Haber-Bosch process, which combines atmospheric nitrogen with natural gas to create the fertilizer responsible for doubling global crop production. Moore argues that banning nitrogen fertilizer in places like Sri Lanka and the Netherlands is a self-inflicted wound designed to artificially reduce the global population. He suggests that powerful elites are using "climate change" as a tool for global control and starvation.

patrick moore· greenpeace· haber-bosch process· ammonia· fertilizer· sri lanka

26:23 It must have been nine or ten years ago when he left Greenpeace and did this whole video anti-Greenpeace. He was pro... Yeah, he left it in a huff! And yeah, and he's pro nuclear. I think there was that he co-produced a CNN documentary. I can recall seeing it in going to the Alamo Draft House to see it there was like one other person there and, you know, show that nuclear was the way to go. So he's been completely thrown out by the Greenies but he was a co-founder of Greenpeace and he did an interview with... what's guy's name? Patrick Bet David I think? You know, you know the podcaster

27:03 PPBD and he explains exactly what this nitrogen bullcrap is about and why it's being done. I can tell you one thing that explains why there went from four billion to eight billion for example, Why? It's called the Haber-Bosch process it won two Nobel Prizes in the early 1900s It was a formula, a technological process involving very high heat and very high pressure. An extremely complicated process which was able to combine nitrogen from the atmosphere with natural gas to make ammonia That ammonia is the basis of all the nitrogen fertilizer being used in the world's agriculture today it results in at least doubling of crop production

27:52 And that is why we see this news today about Sri Lanka banning nitrogen fertilizer and Netherlands now basically banning much of the nitrogen fertilizer. And this is the biggest threat we have right now to an immediate starvation situation in the world, food shortage. You hear it said... That's where I'm going! ...the odd time? Yeah But the reason itself inflicted this food shortage Nitrogen, the air has 70% of the air is nitrogen. We could take nitrogen out of the air for the next million years and make fertilizer because it all goes back into the air again eventually. Same with carbon dioxide

28:31 If we double two more times, we got 32 billion people here. We can't have 32 billion people in this world. In other words, we won't double it to 32. If we can't have it, we won't go there because we can't get there. Okay so let's speculate. Tell me what you mean by that? What I mean is today... Oh yes! ...people are getting wealthier. The number of people living in poverty as a percentage of the population is much smaller now than it was 20-30-50 years ago When we reach a position where more and more people are going into poverty and starving to death, we will know that we're coming close to that limit. How else are you gonna find out? Unless you artificially reduce the population by cutting off the fossil fuels and by cutting off the nitrogen fertilizer. That's what the real problem is today. I'm saying this is a self-inflicted wound that we are dealing with right now. And it's a real problem because

29:26 I can see this, that these powerful elites like Schwab and on down they want control of the world. They want control of everybody now what do they want? They want fewer people! They think it's already too many...I think That is what they've been saying in the United Nations for a long time but the facts don't bear that out because less and less people are living in poverty And our knowledge of agriculture is growing Our knowledge of genetics is growing and we're able to grow way more food now than we were then, and food is the basis of how many people can be here. Yeah I like that theory! They're just gonna starve us to death they've tried everything else

30:07 Somebody's you know the entire world's population could be shoved into Texas. Oh, yeah But but of course there's lots of room is the point hey hey? But you know what let's shove it him into California all right bigger Yeah dad we don't need that but yet, but the point is there The point is there's enough as long as there's enough food it won't be a problem. But they are literally taking away the food by removing nitrogen and by removing, boy didn't we see some of those issues during the pandemic? We haven't forgotten so it seems to me that they're just trying to slowly kill everybody I mean isn't that what the population bomb people have been about since the 70s yeah

CHAPTER 10 / 50 Discussion

Nitrogen Crisis Rationale and Environmental Psyops

The rationale for labeling nitrogen as an environmental pollutant is scrutinized, given that it constitutes over 70% of the Earth's atmosphere. The hosts dismiss the "nitrogen crisis" as a psychological operation similar to the narrative surrounding carbon dioxide. They argue that the focus on "cow farts" and agricultural emissions is a distraction from the actual goal of land acquisition and social engineering.

nitrogen· carbon dioxide· climate change· the hague· cow farts

30:58 Well, they haven't been willing to kill people per se. They want the population to stop growing Right but now it is like you know that's not worked we've tried reason with these slaves and You know and now the France Timmermans our boy there my boy who never answers my phone calls anymore Who's in charge of the European? EU Green Deal he says you know We should have international talks on the dangers and governance of geoengineering But before you go to that topic, has there been a good explanation for this nitrogen thing?

31:38 I mean, what the Greenpeace guy said is correct. You can get as much of this nitrogen out of the atmosphere as you want, use the process which is famous and then when it goes into the... As fertilizer comes in ends up going back into the air as nitrogen? No! Of course not. So what is the rationale for stopping nitrogen fertilizers in both Sri Lanka and which has caused trouble there. And, Holland my original thinking was well it's just an excuse to get the dust to turn into a giant bedroom community but now that you bring these other factors up they have some rationale what is it? Well obviously climate change cow farts but ultimately death! So what is the reason that they're using to say you can't use nitrogen? What are they telling them

32:33 What do you mean, what are they telling them? They're telling them that... You're a farmer and I say to you hey! You can't use any more nitrogen fertilizer. Oh because...? You would say to me why?! Because the process of creating nitrogen is bad for the environment Nitrogen is bad for the environment Cows that graze on that land are banned from it This is what they're saying! You asked me! They cant say that! Nitrogen is like he said 70% plus of the air we breathe is nitrogen. How's it bad for the environment? Everybody, I'm getting a plane ticket for John he's going to The Hague He's going to tell everybody what's up with nitrogen

33:13 I know, I'm asking what's up. I'm telling you what they're saying this is what they're saying oh nitrogen it's a crisis we have a nitrogen crisis that's literally what they're saying and people go oil crisis yeah was it crisis well if too much night nitrogen sounds like carbon actually we have too much oxygen carbon dioxide that people are stupid people don't go to school anymore or they don't teach stuff This is, this is a psyop. Of course it is! Cow farts? Oh yeah... Don't worry we got some chicken in a vat to brew and some chicken for you

Lab-Grown Meat and HeLa Cancer Cells

A viral report claims that lab-grown meat utilizes "immortalized cells," which are essentially pre-cancerous or cancerous cells capable of rapid replication. The discussion references Henrietta Lacks, whose cervical cancer cells (HeLa) have been used in medical research for decades without her family's initial consent. The hosts express disgust at the prospect of marketing "tumor burgers" as a sustainable food alternative.

lab-grown meat· hela cells· henrietta lacks· cancer· immortalized cells

33:52 I have a chicken in the vat clip by the way that we need to play. Let's play it now then, it fits in perfectly! So here is the chicken because you know my thesis on this and here is the guy kind of confirming it he says its a TikTok clip. Oh hold on a second... It's a little lesson in biology and it's a clip is called lab-grown meat So I'm going to tell you what. I just found out about lab-grown meat And I can assure you are going to be disgusted the source of this meat They need fast growing cells replicating cells Just like when you have a farm that oh, he'll ever tree You don't want to plant a new tree every week you want a tree that gives you a lot of fruit? And this is what they're trying to do with me and so what did they find well there's something called an immortalized cell also known as a HeLa cell

34:43 HeLa after Henrietta Lacks who sometime in the 1950s had cervical cancer and they removed her cancer cells, put them into a petri dish to see how long would they continue replicating. And they're still replicating today so if you've already started reading between the lines you may guess where I'm going with this that they realized the best source for fast replicating cells to make lab-grown meat that you're going to eat are cancer and precancerous cells. That means taking cancerous and precancerous cells, literally putting them as a base and having those replicate to continue at the fastest possible pace produce the meat that you're going to eat I learned about HeLa cells from Mo Henrietta Lack was black woman Yeah And her ancestors have been in legal

35:27 You know legal battles for years because they basically just took her cells and have sold it all over the world Millions of times over. They should give her a royalty yes, they should Yes, they should agree with that lab at the point lab meat is racist but the point of this Clip is that? It's a tumor Yes I think, hey, I just had an idea. I had a marketing idea. Gila burgers! Now you're talking. Gila burgers and we could cut in her ancestors. Yeah that's a marketing idea let's sell tumor burgers and that's gonna make us both rich. Hey nothing else seems to work telling the truth is not a great business model

CHAPTER 12 / 50 Discussion

Frans Timmermans and Geoengineering Governance

EU Green Deal chief Frans Timmermans calls for international talks on the governance of geoengineering, specifically the practice of spraying aerosols into the atmosphere to block sunlight. The hosts link this to Bill Gates' investments in solar dimming technology and long-standing theories regarding "chemtrails." They argue that "governance" is merely a euphemism for controlling the global climate through artificial means.

frans timmermans· geoengineering· bill gates· chemtrails· european union

36:19 So anyway, back to my buddy Frans. Frans Timmermans he's calling for global talks on the geoengineering And he's pretending, you know there are risks but we need governance. Governance! This is literally what I've been talking about since the beginning of this show Is spraying crap in the air also known as... Can'trails And now they're just coming out and saying yeah we need to govern that because we can bring that under our control here Isn't it Bill Gates who is doing most of it now? He owns a

36:56 geoengineering company. Well Gates is one of the maniacs who thinks that by spraying a bunch of crap into the upper atmosphere to cut down two suns, kill the Sun! This is like from a Simpsons episode where Burns does it yeah and...Simpson's predicts it once again So it probably does need some governance or you're gonna have these maniacs like Gates Mm-hmm Starting to do stuff on their own. They're gonna start freelancing and I am actually kind of I would agree with him a little bit on this Of course, but but he's talking about the governance He not talking about stopping it no no we have to control it It shouldn't be done at all! It's ridiculous. It's ridiculous

37:45 Yeah, I agree. That should not be done at all Meanwhile NPR has the climate change... Oh by the way people should just go see the movie Was it Snowpiercer? I couldn't get through it. I didn't like Snowpiercer You didn't get to the part where they had the food bank where they were making food No, I tuned out way earlier than that. Horowitz loved it! I didn't like it that much... You can see it on YouTube. I think it's on YouTube. I don't think you even need to resort to a streaming company. It has been around so long. NPR has the climate change clip of the week

NPR Heat Advisories and the Splooting Phenomenon

NPR coverage of the summer "heat dome" introduces the term "splooting," a behavior where animals like squirrels and dogs spread their limbs on cool surfaces to regulate body temperature. Animal physiologist Andrea Rummel explains that species unable to sweat must find creative ways to cool off. The hosts mock the segment as pretentious and typical of taxpayer-funded radio content.

npr· heat dome· splooting· squirrels· andrea rummel· washington dc

38:25 And because it's so hot we're under the heat dome. Sorry, I've got to say it is hot outside. Oh! It's hot outside? Hello, I'm for-I'm working for NPR. Try riding your bike in a suit. Do you wear a suit to your NPR meeting? Try riding your bike in a suit like I do Does he wear a suit to the radio studio? What kind of people are these as MPOs?" I always wear a suit to the station and I ride a bike. It is hot outside! Try riding your bike in a suit, and we don't even have the worst of it just south here in Washington DC places in the US are under heat advisories as temperatures break 100 degrees

39:04 degrees millions of people are facing dangerous extreme heat. Yeah, I mean we had some good tips on the show yesterday for staying safe and comfortable in heat like that. Oh John are you staying safe and comfortable? Safe and comfortable baby stay safe! Safe and comfortable Some of which may feel kind of obvious, like staying as cool was possible by hydrating and trying not to run around too much. Yeah but there's... Is hydrating the NPR word for drinking water? I just want to make sure because i'm a little confused. Very pretentious word. Hydrating. Obvious like staying as cool as possible by hydrating and trying not to run around too much. Yeah but there's one thing we didn't mention which is

39:44 Splooting. Splooting, that is a very silly word for a pretty cool... Have you not heard of splooting? Splooting?! Splooting! S-P-L-O-O-T-I-N-G. Splooting! I would do that in the privacy of my own home. Splooting. Splooting, that is a very silly word for a pretty cool strategy something animals do more than humans walk around on a hot day and you actually might see a squirrel splooting I think it's called splooting because that is kind of what it looks like. It's like if a squirrel just, like, splatted down on the pavement all of its limbs are splayed so it's kind of like spread eagles on the ground." That's animal physiologist Andrea Rummel when humans are hot sweating cools us down but she says animals that can't sweat have to resort to other behaviors to cool off. The squirrels are trying to regulate their body temperatures by spreading out on a cool surface think of it

40:40 finding the cool part of the pillow when you're trying to fall asleep. And it's not just squirrels that sploot, dogs raccoons bears all kinds of animals will do it if they are overheating. Splooting! I think they're just making it up splooting this was a five-minute segment on NPR You know they mentioned that people don't do again we do sweat that's the advantage we don't have to do that whatever that is the animals are doing right well not everybody sweats The last two, there's a number of lizard people we know. Hillary Clinton? Barack Obama? Barack doesn't sweat right. Who else? There is somebody else... I don't know probably uh i don't know and i don't know those are the only two famous ones. We should have a list! Yes, a list of non-sweaters and um just staying with climate change for one more second. The most emailed article this week or in the past few days

Alef Aeronautics Flying Car and FAA Certification Claims

Alef Aeronautics claims to have received FAA approval for the world's first fully electric flying car, but critics point out the "special airworthiness certification" is limited to experimental test flights. The hosts argue that current battery technology lacks the power-to-weight ratio necessary for viable flying cars or long-haul semi-trucks. They characterize the pre-order campaign as a public relations hoax designed to attract investors.

alef aeronautics· flying car· faa· electric vehicles· batteries· elon musk

41:49 which I just want to address for a moment and people know that i'm a pilot so they send me the headline world's first fully electric flying car approved by FAA and accepting pre-orders I mean, this is the what a great PR job is so so well done. This now we you and I could have advised these guys they'd have nothing they've a plastic model which looks kind of cool but it doesn't even drive let alone fly and they've taken They filled out a form, sent it to the FAA and said hey we want to do some test flights at this facility with basically an oversized drone. And the FAA says sure okay go ahead you can stay within these boundaries you're good to go now they've turned that into a PR campaign saying they have FAA certification there's no certification about it special airworthiness certification

42:51 Absolutely not true. There's no airworthiness, special air worthiness certification that I'm aware of and they don't have specs They don't have a car that flies but you can invest now with your pre-order of $1500 or you can become an investor This is the biggest bunch of bull crap I've seen from this sector in a while. And there's a lot of these things, a lot of flying cars and if you really... that's why i'm always looking for specs what's the spec? Well it'll do 60 miles an hour for 11 minutes! There is not a single flying vehicle to date that has been announced or is flying on batteries mind you on batteries

43:43 that will actually get me from here to Austin. I wouldn't mind charging in Austin and then flying back, but none of that is true! Even the battery-powered plane... They're saying yeah we're canceling that project because it just we just can't do it The batteries overheat, they are too heavy Of course they are too heavy The power to weight ratio is insanely stupid But it's the same thing with the large semi trucks, the big trucks. It turns out that batteries are too heavy. It's like 8000 pounds and then batteries and to charge down the street and a charger fleet of 50 trucks would take the energy of Austin. The whole thing is is a hoax by Elon

44:36 Get on! Yeah, but I just love that. And people don't know they're sending me like hey you should get in on this okay thanks yeah you should order one yeah i would order so the fully electric vehicle with a hydrogen option for a higher price it's a low-speed vehicle to be driven up to 200 miles on public roads It fits in a regular garage but it can also launch vertically into the air with the flying range of 110 miles according to their website. But there's... And then they got all these cool videos, good... They put some money into the renderings but no, that's not gonna happen. That's like my buddy Michelle in the UK

Colonel Douglas McGregor on Ukraine and Economic Implosion

Colonel Douglas McGregor predicts a catastrophic collapse of the Ukrainian military and a subsequent economic implosion in Washington D.C. before the 2024 election. He suggests that domestic violence and bank closures will become widespread as the "Russian hoax" narrative fails. Meanwhile, Fox News reshuffles its lineup, moving Jesse Watters into the 8:00 PM slot formerly held by Tucker Carlson.

douglas mcgregor· ukraine· washington dc· patrick bet-david· fox news· jesse watters

45:23 When Uber announced the Uber Air taxi, where's that? That happened several years ago. He said yeah I put in for a license for my club! I said dude it's not gonna happen It's just not gonna happen This is hoax this is no way The power to weight ratio is off and it's not going to happen anyway transitioning to the collapse of the United States which according to Colonel McGregor is nearby. Do you like McGregor? We've talked about it... No I don't because he wouldn't take my call, he snubbed a podcast while he does all these low-end podcasts yeah no he's a dick! He's not the friend of a podcast she's the foe of the podcast. A foe of this podcast only. Yeah guess where he wound up

46:17 Some other podcast. Patrick Bet-David! The guy we just heard from with the... Who I find this podcast annoying. I don't think we'll ever get to the 2024 election, I think things are going to implode in Washington before then I think our economic financial condition is fragile. I think we're going to end up in a situation where we find out the banks are closed for two or three weeks and nobody can get into them. You think so? I think we're gonna run into something like that, yeah. I also think that levels of violence and criminality in our cities are so high... that it's going to spill over into other places in society. People that normally think they can live remote from the problem are now beginning to be touched by the problem Then I look at this thing in Ukraine, and I think Ukraine is going to lose catastrophically It's gonna be a complete collapse

47:08 And that too is going to have an effect here at home because people are going to say, well wait a minute. Everybody told us Ukraine was winning everybody told us X Y and Z I mean sort of the Russian hoax on steroids all of those things are going to come together or converge in some way that's gonna prevent us from reaching you know The status quo Oh another election oh another set of campaigns and so forth this is getting some play. Oh Man yeah You know you could be if you want to do that You could do that, I could do it. Anyone can go and do this. You're running out of material you got no books to sell He had one famous book that he sold on military strategy And you gotta get out there, you gotta find some way Maybe you'll get a gig on Fox or maybe you'll get some sort of thing like Tammy Bruce by the way is gonna be the next Fox regular Really? They just gave it too

48:04 They gave the eight o'clock slot to what's the boys they just move people around so far, but no, no, they gave it to Jesse waters Yeah, I know. They gave it to Jesse waters He's not gonna be able to hang and I don't think so either. I don't think he's not that good He says okay on the five sometimes and he's got that stupid look on his face It's there's not because like is kidding you all the time So maybe no she's gonna be brought in cuz she took over Hannity show And she's better than Hannity. She asks smart questions, she's sharp...she's just good! And she's an old broadcaster from the old Broad-caster? Yeah From the get go radio type But looks good on TV So I think they're gonna have to bring her on because and Waters I don't think he can pull it off You know I was on the Brian Kilmeade Radio Show on Friday

Adam Curry on Brian Kilmeade and the Biden "Chin" Theory

Adam Curry recounts his appearance on Brian Kilmeade's radio show, where he introduced the theory that Joe Biden is mimicking the "crazy" act of mob boss Vincent "The Chin" Gigante to avoid prosecution. Ben Shapiro is noted for adopting a similar narrative, suggesting Biden's perceived cognitive decline makes him a more sympathetic and unthreatening figure to the public.

brian kilmeade· fox radio· joe biden· vincent gigante· ben shapiro

48:59 I've been on it before and i think you know you show up on Beck and stuff like that. The booker goes, we need someone for Friday call Curry okay? He's a nice guy. And the Fox Radio Network has a lot of people listening, so I'm just going to promote as much as I can. I'm just promoting no agenda." He actually did pretty good job... Yeah you might have said that's what do on radio is supposed to be doing? But he started off with like, So what do you think of MTV has become?" Like really there you go yeah but then he brought up the whole Biden ball gag strap

49:39 and played some clip of Biden mumbling. And I decided, I would pull a Dvorak on him and I said well you know we have the theory over at The No Agenda Show hoping people will catch on and like it come over listen to us that he's really like the chin Vincent Gigante and kill me was like blblblblblblll what? Your theory really screws with mainstream media heads It's like not at all what they expected to hear. No, it doesn't fit into the narrative And you know who has been listening to your theory? Ben Shapiro But if you're Joe Biden then get away with it One of the reasons that you get away with is because right now no only are you president of United States but you're a babbling old fool and because you're a babbling old fool You're un-threatening I've said this for awhile one of great assets that Joe Biden has Is he appears in state of cognitive decline

50:35 In the same way that you watch a mafia movie and you will see somebody in a mafia movie who is under investigation pretend to be crazy or pretend to be in a state of cognitive decline so that prosecutor's like, oh he couldn't have done it. That guy's walking around a bathrobe! That is basically Joe Biden at this point. I don't think he's pretending, but i certainly think that his decline in his cognitive faculties make him a more sympathetic figure than he otherwise would be. Joe Biden of 2008 was not in any way sympathetic now he seems sympathetic mainly because you're afraid that he's going to literally keel over and die at any moment. I think he's kind of listening to you for material Well he could have at least had some details about the fact that it was

Pete Buttigieg and the "Three Bidens" Mask Theory

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg defends Joe Biden's mental competency, claiming the President is highly detailed in private meetings despite public gaffes like confusing Ukraine with Iraq. The hosts discuss the "three Bidens" theory, pointing to physical discrepancies in teeth and eye color as evidence of body doubles or high-tech masks. Donald Trump's characterization of "1% Joe" is highlighted as part of the ongoing political discourse.

pete buttigieg· joe biden· vladimir putin· iraq· masks· cognitive decline

51:15 Vincent Gigante. Well, but listen we're the OG no agenda show we do a segment on Rachel Levine boom Tucker does eight minutes on Rachel Levine yeah I know what your thesis is and i'm not going to argue against it completely but since you brought this topic up let's hear what Mayor Pete on Biden has to say as the two-parter in the second parts of The Kicker So this is part one, Mayor Pete. The president faced a wave of criticism on Wednesday after saying that Russian President Vladimir Putin was clearly losing the war in Iraq Biden also said Iraq instead of Ukraine at a fundraiser on Tuesday night and didn't correct himself. Buttigieg was asked about voter doubts on Biden's mental competency as the oldest president in history. OK?

52:12 Okay, so we're brought in so we're gonna go to Mayor Pete who's gonna back up the thesis part two What I say is I wish you could be in a room with him the way. I often am In the darkroom how he is simultaneously focused on a big-picture vision and very focused on details Buttigieg cited rail infrastructure meetings he's had with Biden, where he says the president hones in on questions so specific it becomes necessary to pull in experts from Amtrak to satisfy his desire for detailed information. Buttigieg says its not age that matters but your ability to get the job done. This is an administration that has been extraordinarily effective

52:54 Now, hold on. By the way, that's funny in normal circumstances that leads to other clips proving extraordinarily effective doesn't really exist but anyway safe and effective well both can be true at the same time Biden can be very good behind-the-scenes very detailed and obvious cognitive decline when he's out out and about And President Trump, who's out and about. He has his own theory. You know it and I know it Joe doesn't know he's alive. Because Biden doesn't know he's alive? Biden doesn't know, I mean, he doesn't know he's alive! Now, I have to tell you, he is a different guy. He looks different than he used to. He acts different that he used too. He is even slower that it used to be so I don't know but we call him 1% Joe. Joe Biden is a dummy It's not him. He just-

53:55 Yeah, this is going around the ladies. I love that clip. The lady Joe Biden is a dummy Well but not just the dummy buddy you know he's a different Joe Biden You know it's either the mask or yes, that's possible with the mask This also falls into place with our normal thinking that there's probably three of these guys and III count three They have different teeth. They have different eye colors the whole thing don't even necessarily look the same the ladies out here of You know have their own Text group this is where I get a lot of the good stuff from you know like Exactly this Joe Biden there's three of them they got masks it's all fake. I love that There's my favorites

Moms for Liberty and Southern Poverty Law Center Labels

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) labels the parental rights group Moms for Liberty as an "anti-government extremist" organization. Founded in 2021 to fight COVID restrictions, the group has expanded to 120,000 members and now focuses on school board politics and removing "inappropriate" books. The hosts defend the organization against "domestic terrorist" labels, citing their involvement in local issues like public housing in Fredericksburg.

moms for liberty· southern poverty law center· philadelphia· tina deskovitch· tiffany justice

54:49 And there are also a lot of them who are members of the Moms for Liberty, which is now getting some heat. Getting play yeah. Here's NBC Tonight in Philadelphia The latest battle in the culture wars They want to teach cis white history and erase anything else They have messed with the right moms! The second annual convention for Moms For Liberty Is drawing top Republican presidential candidates Tina Deskovitch and Tiffany Justice started the group in 2021 in Florida as a way to fight COVID restrictions. But since then, Moms for Liberty says it's expanded to 285 chapters across 44 states with more than 120,000 members

55:36 Among other things, the organization now battles what it calls the indoctrination of children on topics such as race gender and sexuality. It's advocated removing what it deems inappropriate books from school libraries also the Southern Poverty Law Center has now labeled Moms for Liberty an anti-government extremist stream is what you're supposed to do in our political process. The group is built as a grassroots movement, but critics are questioning where the money that's funded its explosive growth is coming from? The nonprofit is not required to disclose it's donors. This is so evil what they're doing! A lot of these women are friends They are truly moms...a lot of them actually have no children which is interesting or there's a percentage

56:42 But they are involved in local politics. I really like what they're doing! In fact, I got a message just the other day... Monday? No man, the 5th. What is the fifth? The fifth is Tuesday? What's the fifth? Tuesday. Fifth of July. Domestic terrorists! We gotta go to city council because they're doing stuff that they want to start a public housing authority in Fredericksburg Wait, how many people are in Fredericksburg? 15 thousand. Oh that's bigger than I thought it was like five Yeah but there's 800 apartments about to come online 800 in the commercial sector you know and what do we really need lower cost housing for is for people to work in the shops and the restaurants in Fredericksburg But oh no no yeah well you know we have public housing authority well we know how that goes

57:39 Yeah. And so they're riling everybody up, I like that! But now, oh AC...oh no is it Southern Poverty Law Center? Oh domestic terrorist group! That's ridiculous and- Southern Poverty Law Center has become domestic terrorists. Yes, yes, I agree It's really unbelievable No, it's actually totally believable. But most of these women are just... they're sweethearts! They're really trying to do something and I appreciate it. I think we have a lot of moms for liberty listening. A lot of them came in during COVID get some... they were just where can I get some information? Shoot there's two old dudes talking about let me check them out might as well got everything else. Talking about COVID Yes

CHAPTER 19 / 50 Discussion

PBS Bat Propaganda and Zoonotic Spillover Narratives

PBS features physician Neil Vora to discuss how human encroachment on nature leads to "zoonotic spillover" from bats, citing rabies, Ebola, and COVID-19 as examples. The segment argues that stressed bats are more likely to shed viruses that infect humans. The hosts view this as a revival of "bat propaganda" intended to steer public opinion away from the laboratory leak theory.

pbs· bats· covid-19· zoonotic spillover· neil vora· conservation international

58:25 See, I can do it too. Yeah pretty good we're just segueing all over the place today. They've decided it seems to me to go back on the bat propaganda Oh no! To bring... to dissuade anyone from thinking that any of these diseases coming down the pipe are manufactured by you know Fort Mead or anyplace else for Dietrich I'm sorry Fort Meade's where the spaceships are. Fort Meade is right, it's Fort Meade is where the water is killing people? There's Fort Meade and they have space ships at Fort Meade Flying Saucers, there's a Fort Detrick where they're making their boats... No no, Fort Meade was the poison water I think The Poison Bath for Detrick... I forget, the various forts are all mentioned in the Day After Roswell book by Philip Corso which seems to have been shoved aside

59:21 by everybody, but onward with the COVID. So this isn't a bat propaganda? Yes It's COVID bat propaganda The search for the exact origin of COVID-19 has highlighted the risk of viruses transmitted by certain species of bats In the wild they can withstand viruses that kill other animals and the viruses can incubate in bats and spread to other animals and humans As Ali Rogan explains today humans and bats are interacting more than ever Global industrialization continues to reduce the amount of the world untouched by humans. That means species like bats are no longer as insulated from human interaction as they once were in recent decades, bats have been traced as the source of outbreaks of rabies Marburg virus Nipah virus and Ebola To discuss why this is happening I'm joined by Neil Vora He's a physician with Conservation International A non-profit environmentalist group And he works on pandemic prevention Neal thank you so much for joining us

1:00:18 Tell me about what you and your colleagues have found out about human and bat interaction in recent years, in recent decades. I'm sorry—what news outlet is this from again? PBS Oh man, it's almost as good as NPR splooting squirrel. It starts off with understanding about emerging infectious diseases we know that infectious diseases are increasingly emerging around the world since at least the 1940s and most of these new infectious disease originate in animals then jump into people that's called spillover And spillovers are increasing around the world because of what we humans are doing to nature and how we're interacting with animals around the world. Bats are getting stressed as we are disrupting their habitats and affecting their food supply, they're stressing out bats in a variety of different ways. That makes them more prone to illness that makes them more likely to shed viruses that can then go on to infect people just like when were stressed or more likely to get sick The same goes for bats This is... Okay

1:01:18 This is very interesting that they're dredging this old cow out of the canal. What are they trying? Why now what is it what is I've been trying to figure that out as we go through these clips You won't figure it out and this goes on a lot longer than the clips. I have sure and it's in there It's really pushing the bat narrative And they're also saying they also push don't but don't be mean two bats because you know, that's our good insects and bugs We got bats with some bats are important. The Texas is loaded with bats Yes Yeah, and you had the bat caves where they come out at night. We got the Bat Bridge. Austin has the Bat Bridge where every night... San Antonio's got some bat thing going on there. We've got bats in Johnson City, Johnson National Park. There are bat caves very famous. We've got bats flying overhead here! They're pooping all over the place like I mean that's sick. It's okay

CHAPTER 20 / 50 Discussion

Bat Immune Systems and the RFK Jr. Factor

The scientific explanation for why bats carry viruses without getting sick—attributed to their unique immune systems and flight capabilities—is questioned for its logic. The hosts suggest the timing of this "natural origin" narrative is intended to discredit Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s claims about gain-of-function research. They reiterate that the Wuhan wet market did not actually sell bats, complicating the spillover story.

bats· immune system· sars· rfk jr· lab leak theory· wet market

1:02:15 They used to sell bat guano as a fabulous nutrient for plants and bat guano. It's been sold in bags. Yeah, I think there are laws now here you can't collect the bat guano I think. I don't know why, okay let's go part two this propaganda now i want to listen carefully to this and there's an ill logic here that i have to discuss And why are bats so unique in their ability to carry viruses that can affect humans? There's a variety of reasons for this. One might have to do with different immune systems that bats have compared to humans, which allows them to tolerate some viruses differently than humans can. Furthermore, bats are able to fly over large distances and so that allows them to carry viruses from one area to another similar to how humans if we're infected with the virus and we jump in a plane, we can carry that virus to other parts of the world. So these are some of the factors

1:03:10 that might explain why bats are able to transmit a number of viruses to humans but not be affected by them the same way we are. So, bats aren't affected by viruses the same way we are because they can fly a long distance! Now I want it... this is exactly what he said. He had two reasons one he says well maybe their immune system's a little different so they can tolerate more infections and then just carry these viruses around And then they can, and the question remember was why bats? Well how can they do this? How can they hold these viruses in and then transfer them to humans. And they can travel a long distance that's got nothing to do with whether or not they can be infected it just stupid. And to complete the bat theory it was sold at a wet market where some schmuck was eating the bat

1:04:09 And some, talk about illogic. Some schmuck bought a wet market bat and ate it and then got it is maybe this is to set us up for more you know another pandemic which could be domestic bats? It has to be something like that because by the way going back to that story we always have to remember that that wet market did not sell bats! That was researched and proven Well, that's not... you're ruining the story. I am ruining the story but this is among other... Okay here we go with part three and here we go again

1:04:50 Let's bring back the pangolin. It is wildlife trade, both legal and illegal needs to be regulated and monitored more closely we've had a number of outbreaks associated with wildlife trade such as Mpox back in 2003 also the original SARS outbreak back in 2003 was also associated with wildlife trade and very likely the COVID pandemic was also related to the wildlife trade Wow oh yeah that's where SARS came from sure another bat? SARS, he claims out of the blue. I didn't know this that SARS-CoV1 was from bats! Now we know this isn't true. It's not true In fact they go on and the woman...I didn't play clip anymore of this because it goes on forever

1:05:36 And she brings in the, well the lab theory. He says there's no proof of the lab theory it's just a theory and he goes on and on about how they lab theories probably not true because it's these damned animals that go back and forth and back and forth with their viruses and we get stuck with this must okay this can also is an op I mean yeah now maybe it's just to bring more discredit info towards RFK Oh, that could be. You could use it for that like well yeah have you not been listening to PBS our national treasure? This came from a Batman not from my lab maybe that's it

COVID Relief Fraud and Medicare Scams

A federal watchdog reports that over $200 billion in COVID relief funds—roughly 17% of the total distributed—was lost to fraudulent claims. The Small Business Administration (SBA) is criticized for lacking safeguards during the rapid injection of money into the economy. Simultaneously, the Justice Department charges 78 defendants in a $2.5 billion Medicare fraud scheme involving unnecessary medical equipment and repackaged HIV medications.

1:06:17 Oh, that could be. That's actually I didn't consider the RFK angle. I didn't know that he was that dangerous but they would do that. I think he is dangerous to them. Well, he might be. He might be dangerous. I only have two other COVID clips that are kind of... Yeah let's do him! Let's do him. It's fraud money NTD new Tang dynasty This is N T D You may recall hearing about fraud in COVID relief programs for businesses. A federal watchdog is putting a number on how much money was handed out to fraudulent claims, a total of more than $200 billion dollars that's 17% of the 1.2 trillion dollars the Small Business Administration distributed it amounts to about 4.5 million fraudulent claims

1:07:01 Some of that money was paid through the Paycheck Protection Program. It was designed to help businesses pay employees during the pandemic, but most of this sum was actually paid through economic injury disaster loans. Businesses were supposed to pay those loans back unlike PPP assistance. Yeah now this is a clip I was going to go after Buttigieg says things are going great! This is the best ever administration Well, what happened is trillions of dollars were stolen. Not by us! We didn't get any PPP I didn't get any The SBA's inspector general says pressure to inject money into the economy quickly was a magnet for fraudsters and says the SBA did not employ adequate safeguards to prevent it The Justice Department has taken action against dozens of people for defrauding Medicare and Medicaid They've been at it for two weeks

1:07:58 They have charged 78 defendants, including two dozen doctors nurses and other medical professionals. The scheme spans 16 states and resulted in 2.5 billion dollars of alleged fraud. Officials say much of the fraud targeted the elderly people with mental health issues and people addicted to opioids One case accuses doctors of plotting with telemarketers to get kickbacks for pushing unnecessary medical equipment. Another scheme allegedly involved buying HIV medications from patients, then repackaging them to sell to pharmacies. Prosecutors say in some instances the wrong medications broken pills and even pebbles were sold. Talking about taking advantage of old people so I

The "Grandson in Jail" Phone Scam

One of the hosts describes receiving a "Granddad" scam call where a fraudster with a gravelly New York accent claimed to be his grandson in jail following a car accident. The scammer used the excuse of a broken nose to explain his unfamiliar voice. The host successfully thwarted the attempt by pointing out his actual grandson is only 12 years old, leading the caller to hang up.

WHO EARS Social Listening System and Disinformation

The World Health Organization (WHO) has launched the "Early AI Supported Response and Social Listening System" (EARS) to monitor global conversations and "infodemics." The dashboard tracks keywords like Ivermectin, Moderna, and vaccine passports to help governments adjust their messaging. WHOIS records confirm the domain is owned by the WHO in Geneva, Switzerland, marking a significant step in real-time social media surveillance.

1:11:06 Yeah, Chloe the Asian chick. I did want to point out something else you know this World Health Organization treaty which is already a treaty with America's part of the treaty but they're upgrading it and from what i understand that won't be until next year they don't really have to do much with it um they actually got uh a pig butcher call right now we're not going to do So it doesn't need to be ratified, it can just kind of continue somehow on the ratification the original treaty has. Article 18 is something people are talking about and it calls on member states to quote tackle false misleading information or disinformation and to manage infodemics through social listening initiatives

1:12:00 And they have a social listening initiative known as the Early AI Supported Response and Social Listening System, also known as EARS which you can find at who-ears.com. By country you can look into all the disinformation and see what people are talking about on social media right now in real time! Give me the URL again? W-H-O dash ears dot com. So they have social indicators and I've got it now the last seven days in the United States, no this is around the world. Distrust is at 16%. This doesn't work. Well works for me! W-H-O dash ears dot com? Yeah

1:12:55 Doesn't work. I'm doing it right now and it works. It doesn't work here, W-H-O... Dash E-A-R-S dot com Oh there is is if I hit the refresh it came up So you can see here they've got social indicators And let me grab the United States because they have for the whole world. They do it for the, they're so amazing that for the whole world United States topics of conversation 18.9% are talking about COVID vaccine 9.7 percent industry this is only about health stuff is not about anything else industry and economic impact 6.7 right now talking about miss and disinformation

1:13:38 And these are some key stats. Top keywords, COVID online people vaccine license passport pandemic vaccines rising keywords license top hashtags COVID-19 COVID long COVID Moderna Ivermectin oh we got to squash those people Oh no! Hashtag HCQS has risen 1100% So somehow they're gonna use this to, you know make sure that the governments are all listening in and making sure they... It's a dashboard basically. It's a dashboard to adjust the messaging What do you think? Who owns this domain I'm pretty sure that's the World Health Organization There is no evidence of that on this page

1:14:27 Well, that's a very good question. Whois? W-H-O-dash ears dot com I had not done...I'm glad you...yeah according to the WHOIS server the World Health Organization owns this That's evidence right here in the WHOIS record I'm looking at the Whois record, GoDaddy version. Yeah but in the Whois record online you know like a command line? That's what i'm on now You're on the GoDaddy thing Well the GoDaddys got a good Whois server yeah well how come mine shows um okay no if it shows it it shows it yeah Avenue Apia 20 Geneva yeah got the phone number plus 4 1 that would be for Geneva they own it

This actually came from uh...the new Wikileaks file dump this information which I thought the Wikileaks file dump had already been done but I guess there's new stuff in there You know, they open up the file. Well you don't have authority to look at it! No and well I'm not Jake Tapper uh you know i'm not working for CNN so...I don't have clearance So I can do whatever I want.

Peter Hotez and the Vaccine Development Timeline

A supercut of Dr. Peter Hotez shows him shifting from claiming vaccines take 10-25 years to develop in 2019 to defending the rapid timeline of COVID-19 vaccines. The hosts discuss Donald Trump's refusal to admit he was "taken for a ride" regarding Operation Warp Speed and the subsequent lockdowns. They argue that Trump's inability to admit fault on this issue alienates grassroots groups like Moms for Liberty.

peter hotez· vaccines· donald trump· kamala harris· operation warp speed

1:16:06 How long does it take to make a vaccine and it goes right up to date? It's usually 10-25 year time frame. People forget how long it really takes. You need to point out that this supercut or mini cut of his starts when Trump was talking about vaccines and of course that's when no one would you know Kamala Harris I'll never take the Trump vaccine, Trump vaccine bad not gonna who knows what he's doing with his warp speed no good so of course warp speed is crazy it takes 25 years. It's usually a 10 to 25 year time frame people forget how long it really takes to develop

1:16:42 an effective and safe vaccine, do all the adequate clinical testing. The current record for developing a vaccine from start to licensure in the United States is around three or four years So that's the realistic time frame we have to start thinking about. When you look at the timelines of coronavirus, this COVID-19 vaccines it really follows the same progression as almost any other vaccine. The vaccine development cycle for COVID-19 vaccines very much goes along with what we've seen before and there are some variances but modest and I think that's an important story for people to know if they're concerned about taking COVID-19 vaccines

1:17:22 Man, Trump's got to get his story straight about vaccines. You know the Moms for Liberty there's your group... Never gonna happen! One of his fatal flaws is that he never admits he's wrong I mean the Moms for Liberty won't vote for him because of that one issue and they've got they have real grassroots power it's really really short-sighted it's really stupid It's hard for him to say, hey look I was taken for a ride on this. Oh! I was wrong and had the wrong people in place In fact that hired a lot of people that shouldn't have been hired because I can't seem to hire people properly He just can do it is too much Well That is a fatal flaw If he came out if you literally said Hey I got duped or whatever And should include the lockdown in that

1:18:16 which was really not a duping but he just didn't want to. He knew that he would be toast if you did that, which in hindsight might not have been if the rest of the world shut down and America didn't But if he did that, if he admitted his flaw. If he just said hey you know I screwed up... That little part of the political game where you admit your wrong and it takes you take a beating for two minutes and you're good People would revere him if he did that Yeah he can't man it's just something that is not possible That's too bad! That's all he's missing And maybe he'll do it October Surprise

1:18:53 Toggers surprised Trump becomes human. Hey everybody! All right before we take a break and it's a doozy of a break because for some reason what have we put up a new web page or something that says send long notes Adam and John love it? What happened there I have no idea what happened here with these long these long notes I mean, we love the support but it's supposed to start... These notes have got to stop. They really are a little bit too long and i think there's another thing you know because of your excellent delivery of these company names people like yeah probably my company is... We'll have to put a stop to that eventually

EU Proposal to Seize Russian Central Bank Assets

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announces a proposal to utilize windfall profits from immobilized Russian Central Bank assets to fund Ukraine. The hosts characterize this as a criminal act of theft against counterparty assets following Russia's removal from the SWIFT system. They argue that this move undermines the legality of the international financial system.

1:19:38 There's some funny companies coming up though. I was like, hey! I can write this off if i make my company name give it. Yeah well yeah that's a good excuse to write it off. Yeah that's funny um Queen Ursula very short clip but she's doing the impossible what will never happen can't do it it's illegal and during this European Council we have discussed the topic of immobilized Russian assets We, the Commission will come forward with a proposal and we will focus prudently on the windfall profits from the immobilized assets of the Russian Central Bank. They're gonna steal the money! They're gonna steal the money from from the counterparty assets from the Russian Central Bank when they got cut off from SWIFT. It's amazing These guys are criminals

1:20:33 This is a criminal act. There's gambling going on? It's a criminal act! Of course it's... they're all criminals, that's the beauty of this. And then they brag about it that's what gets me. Yeah well I so I have two clips here which just fantastic Max Blumenthal who was the editor of The Gray Zone And I'm not sure who invited him, but he's in the United Nations. He gets to talk for 10 minutes and he spoke so fast that got 20 minutes of content in talking to...I think it was the Security Council or the Oversight Council? It doesn't matter because the clip got out there. I have two clips from this ten-minute thing

Max Blumenthal's UN Testimony on Ukraine Aid Corruption

Journalist Max Blumenthal testifies before the UN Security Council, alleging that U.S. tax dollars earmarked for Ukraine are being diverted to private equity firms, Kenyan farmers, and corrupt contractors. He cites a CBS News report claiming only 30% of aid reaches the front lines and warns of an influx of military-grade weapons into the European criminal underworld. Blumenthal highlights the lack of a Pentagon audit for the billions sent to the conflict.

max blumenthal· united nations· ukraine· blackrock· cbs news· interpol

1:21:16 Which is just phenomenal. I mean, like oh there's 10 minutes of no agenda actually there's half an hour of note no agenda jammed into it into ten minutes so too much shorter clips a buck and a half for each one And this first one is about the money that the United States is sending to Ukraine, which of course would be nice to have audited. It'd be nice to have an audit from the Pentagon in general but this is not just Pentagon money. This is just the Ukraine money that the United States citizens have given to the Treasury or It's just money they printed up. It doesn't matter, it is our money and listen to where

1:22:10 which is owned by the global investment firm BlackRock. That amounts to $30 taken from every US citizen at a time when 4 in 10 Americans cannot afford a 400 dollar emergency We found tax dollars earmarked for Ukraine padding the budgets of a television station in Toronto, a pro-NATO think tank in Poland and believe it or not even rural farmers in Kenya We found tens of millions to private equity firms, including one in the Republic of Georgia as well a million dollar payment to single private entrepreneur in Kiev. Our audit also revealed the Pentagon's 4.5 million dollar contract with a company called Atlantic Diving Supply to provide Ukraine with unspecified explosives equipment This is notoriously corrupt company that none other than Tom Tillis, chairman of Senate Armed Services Committee previously lambasted for its quote history of fraud

1:22:52 Yet once again, Congress has failed to ensure these shady payments and massive arms deals are properly tracked. In fact much of the military and humanitarian aid shipped to Ukraine has simply vanished! Last year CBS News quoted the director of a pro-Zelensky nonprofit in Ukraine who reported that only 30% of aid was reaching the front lines The embezzlement of funds and supplies is at least as troubling as the potential consequences of the illicit transfer and sales of military-grade weapons. Last June, the head of Interpol warned that massive transfers of arms into Ukraine means quote we can expect influx of weapons in Europe and beyond and that criminals are now as we speak focusing on them Now of course these are all little tiddly wink amounts, but this is exactly what it's about. These are the people on the sidelines! They're just cream that is being shaven off the top

CHAPTER 27 / 50 Discussion

The WestExec Advisors and Military-Industrial Complex Revolving Door

The discussion focuses on WestExec Advisors, a consulting firm founded by Tony Blinken that serves as a bridge between the government and the arms industry. High-ranking officials including Avril Haines, David Cohen, and Jen Psaki are linked to the firm, while Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin is noted for his ties to Raytheon. The hosts argue that these "architects of the proxy war" are positioned to reap massive profits from the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.

tony blinken· jen psaki· westexec advisors· raytheon· lloyd austin· lockheed martin

1:23:38 Because you need, you know a billion is a thousand million and there's some say 150 billion dollars that has already gone to Ukraine well...to the military-industrial complex in stuff that doesn't really work it's old etc. And I don't even know if they've started building the new stuff they took the money for It is a giant scam but it does kind of make people mad so I think it's good he did that and no his dad is not Sidney Blumenthal dumb trolls And here's my favorite because one of our favorites, Jen Psaki comes up. Here is the criminal gang for you including... Abe Lincoln. Indeed, military cemeteries in Ukraine are expanding almost as rapidly as the Northern Virginia McMansions and beachfront estates of executives from Lockheed Martin Raytheon and assorted Beltway contractors benefiting from the second highest level of military spending since World War II These are the real winners of the Ukraine proxy war not average Ukrainians or Americans Russians The winners...or Europeans for that matter The winners are people like Secretary of State Tony Blinken who spent his time between Obama and Biden administrations launching a consulting firm called WestExec Advisors

1:24:39 which secured lucrative government contracts for intelligence firms in the arms industry. Lincoln's former partners at WestExec include Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines, CIA Deputy Director David Cohen, former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki and almost a dozen current and former members of Biden's national security team. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin is a former and possibly future board member of Raytheon and ex-partner of Pine Island Capital Investment which collaborates with WEST-EXEC and which Blinken himself has advised. Meanwhile, the current US ambassador to this body, the UN Linda Thomas Greenfield is listed as a senior counsel at the Albright Stonebridge Group A self described commercial diplomacy firm that also finesses government contracts for the intelligence and arms sector And was founded by Madeline Albright infamously known for her comments that deaths by sanctions of half million Iraqi children were worth it

1:25:22 So while military-age Ukrainian men are ripped off the streets by military police and sent to the front lines, the financially and politically connected architects of this proxy war are planning to walk through the revolving door to reap unimaginable profits once their time in the Biden administration is over. For them a negotiated settlement to this territorial dispute means it ends with cash cow close to 150 billion in USAID to Ukraine. There you go! Anthony Blinken, Jen Psaki... The actual ambassador to the United Nations from America all in they've all got consulting gigs. They're all these this is the criminality it's disgusting yeah it's great I wonder what gig Jean-Pierre Van Damme is going to end up with oh man she checks a lot of boxes she might have multiple board seats, I think she's more board member can you imagine her on your board

Elon Musk's Twitter Rate Limits and No Agenda Social

Elon Musk implements rate limits on Twitter, restricting the number of posts users can view daily to combat data scraping. The hosts criticize these moves, along with the removal of public access to tweets for non-logged-in users, as detrimental to the platform's health. They promote No Agenda Social and the Mastodon network as decentralized alternatives for followers to stay connected without corporate restrictions.

elon musk· twitter· api· mastodon· no agenda social· knitter

1:33:31 other people's money trying to make it work at Mevio and Podshow, and guess what? It doesn't work. We figured it out the hard way." Well actually was easy for us. No you figured it out that wasn't the hard... That's the easy way to figure it out! Wasn't our money. Yeah figuring out the hard ways losing your ass on a deal personally. We had a lot of fun though I still have some of those shares, paper. Yes that's good we could frame them They could, yeah. Okay Now another way to track us and to stay in touch which now is even more important than ever seeing as Elon Musk has limited what you can do on Twitter And if you don't have a Twitter account if you're not logged in You won't even see a link I think this is a mistake and I think he's made an error here

1:34:27 No, tell me again. Okay so he's done two things one if you are non-verified like myself you get 600 no I think it's 300 posts a day you can read Now, 600. If you're new like within a month i.e., probably a bot or scammer or spammer You get 300 posts you can see a day now if your verified then you get 6000 So if your verify means you pay him then you can see 6000 so that's one up in arms That is a huge mistake Can I just reiterate what I said? Elon Musk would ruin Twitter I think it's coming true Well we'll see

1:35:08 The next part is, well they cut off the API access. You can't use any other apps I used to be able to post automatic... Yeah that was a mistake No you can but you have to pay thousands of dollars a month for the API That's a big jip Now if your not logged in and there is link to a Twitter post unless your are logged it will just take you to the login page So you won't actually see whatever that post is without logging in, without being a... Oh so I can just casually look at somebody else's? So in other words wait a minute this isn't good. So in the olden days if someone had blocked you and you wanted to see their tweets

1:35:58 You could just log out and then look at them. And then look at their tweets, it was just that easy! Yeah you can't do that anymore Oh that's no good... I'm against Elon, i'm using Knitter! That doesn't work anymore Oh really? No of course not the API, you know you can't scrape, the API is gone No, I think he's making a huge mistake here. Well he better whatever his scheme is and we think we know what it is with the money thing... He better execute it quickly because this is not good these maneuvers are not healthy for this site well It is healthy for... he's lowering costs

1:36:52 You know, there's so much cost involved in this thing. So maybe that's part of the move here is to use a little less bandwidth, a little less processing power." He says, well there's so much scraping and scamming going on and you know people are stealing my stuff! Yeah he better hurry...you know what? He needs fed now. He needs fed now. Christina landed good news So to circumvent all of that bullcrap... She landed in New York? Yeah, New York.

1:37:27 to circumvent all of that bullcrap, you just follow us on noagendasocial.com which is at least you have a chance at following us through by being a member of our communite or following us from a Mastodon instance that allows you to connect with us and if not you can always set one up yourself five bucks a month masto dot host I think just don't call anything No Agenda because he'll block ya So many tards.

Value-for-Value Model and Episode 1569 Art Contest

The hosts reiterate the "value-for-value" philosophy, which relies on listener contributions of time, talent, and treasure rather than advertising. They review the art submissions for the current episode, selecting a "gruesome but funny" mosquito-themed piece by Nico Seim. The discussion touches on Bill Gates' mosquito projects and the lack of "ball gag Biden" art following recent news cycles.

value-for-value· nico seim· bill gates· mosquitoes· durham report

1:38:05 I think one of the things that has got us long notes, maybe my fault but i've told people how the value for value model works. It's good to reiterate it from time to time we have never had commercials, we've never had any kind of creepy corporate money, uh... We never promote products if we like a product will talk about endlessly if its an outstanding product and if don't like it wont talk about it you know so some products just become staples in our own lives we don't have to promote there is no native ads here anything it's dishonest we are completely honest and sometimes even the honesty is hard for people you know we say hey donations are down help us out but the value for value model is very simple there's no

1:38:45 paywall, no passwords. No premium-freemium model nothing like that you don't have to be a member of the Patreon. We don't have special episodes! Premium special episode only for members! No! You get it all... That sucks by the way that's really rude. Yeah it's the worst It's the worst so you can listen to us forever for free now we pretend, portend that there's value to what we're doing and everybody gets some kind of... you have to be getting some value from it if you're listening otherwise what kind of life do you have? You listen stuff that is invaluable to you. Now whatever that is it could be very little value or a lot of value and we can't determine what your value is

1:39:34 Just send that back to us. Time, talent treasure for some treasure for most actually treasure is the easiest Because everybody can can pony up some money somehow You can do it once a year for all we care Do it once a show A lot of people do once a year Yeah and thats fine We love it And we have enough people that once a year I think if ppl who do it once a year should do it more Well I agree but its okay you know But were leaving it upto you Thats always been the way we've done it And because people are realizing how valuable it is, they're like I'm gonna send them some money and I'm going to tell them how valuable that it is in 800 words or more.

1:40:12 But we appreciate it, but it does eat up a lot of valuable airtime that we'd like to use for more show. Just saying that now We have many other time and talent the contributions The one we always like to highlight is the work that the artists do we have many artists who contribute to know agenda ArtGenerator comm so we can have a hot piece of art For each individual episode, we think it pops. We think it's good for the social media It's good for promotion people like oh what is this? What's going on you look at your podcast app all of a sudden there's something new It's not the same boring old image that people tap on that it gets people interested reminds People that we are the best podcast in the universe and if you question that it's in The Durham Report go ahead and take a look

1:40:59 So we want to thank Nico Seim. Pretty much a unanimous decision, I mean you said it... It was debatable We debated but I know you said it, you know you it violates one of my rules violate a rule Yes Which ruled in the role is a gruesome or ugly image gruesome image? Yes very good But I my comment was it's funny. It's not gruesome as funny And especially with the antenna on the head and tenor made it less gruesome this was the a lot of people did did mosquitoes Yes, a lot of people tried different mosquito gags I kind of like Darren O'Neill's mosquito robot you went yeah didn't like that The noise I made yeah Where is the mosquito robot? Where is that it's down below. It's next to the pride flag Let's face it probably not gonna do a pride flag Probably not

1:42:00 There was a Bill Gates mosquito which actually probably deserved a little more discussion. Yeah, maybe I just like this mosquito.

Well if she'd made the duck the whole thing just bigger it would have and maybe tilted turned the duck head just a little bit more towards the view angle? I think iIwould've stood tall for that one. Makes you wonder!

Executive Producer Credits and Dame Janette's Yoga Incident

After a brief review of the film "Tár" starring Cate Blanchett, the hosts read a donation note from Janette Dulac in the Netherlands. Janette recounts being hit in the mouth by a fellow yoga student, Ingrid, after speaking out against COVID fear-mongering. The two eventually became friends and "No Agenda" producers, illustrating the show's "connection is protection" mantra.

Producer Donations and Global "War Mode" Clones

Donations from various producers support causes ranging from nonverbal autistic children's education at foundmyvoice.net to local meetups in Las Vegas. A listener from the UK mentions hearing about "No Agenda" through a show called "War Mode," which the hosts identify as a "clone." A significant donation is made in memory of Bucky Laro, a long-time listener who recently passed away.

Supreme Court Ruling on 303 Creative and Free Speech

The Supreme Court rules 6-3 in favor of Christian web designer Lori Smith, stating she cannot be compelled by Colorado law to create websites for same-sex weddings. The court distinguishes this as a free speech issue involving "artistic expression" rather than a simple refusal of service. Justice Sotomayor issues a sharp dissent, arguing the decision marks LGBTQ citizens as "second-class."

supreme court· lori smith· 303 creative· colorado· lgbtq· free speech

2:09:48 I just have this one, well maybe i have two but I wanted to play this one because there's a tidbit in here that nobody else reported on. This is the gay web designer tidbit We have another major ruling from the Supreme Court this morning A Christian web designer is allowed to refuse to make same-sex wedding websites The court found Colorado's anti discrimination law violated the Web designers rights The court ruled 6-3 in favor of web designer Lori Smith. The decision takes power away from state's public accommodation laws when applied to artists Five years ago, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of another business just miles from Smith's business that was a wedding cake maker who refused to make a cake for a gay wedding

2:10:33 Remember that the wedding cake it was right down this street. Well of course because this is all just to antagonize I mean the American way of handling this when someone does not want to make your Gay cake your trans cake you're black whatever cake It is, you know is to start your own cake company and clean up But that's not what this is about. This is all political and there's one reason for this- No! Yes, and of course the whole point is NBC's meet the press How concerned are you about the direction of this conservative court? And does Congress have any sort of role to try and rein in what you and your fellow progressive colleagues feel as a problem

2:11:18 Well, I'm very concerned because these three cases together have some things in common. And one of the things that jumps out at me was the aggressive way in which this court granted standing for the plaintiffs. Standing is a legal term and what restrains the court from just becoming its own legislature to deciding questions before it willy-nilly is this idea of standing? There has to be a real, something really at stake for the plaintiff. They really have to be harmed so in the case of student loans several states attorney generals brought up that brought the cases forward against President Biden's student loan relief hard for them to prove that their states or that they were being harmed So it came down to a loan processor named Mojila

2:12:14 which is not even a state to say, well if President Biden relieves all these students from these onerous loan payments. They're going to make less profit from processing those loans They turned that into standing for the several states. Yeah, so unfortunately this was about one of the three cases that were in the Supreme Court of the United States One was The Gay Wedding Cake or LGBTQ clients Here's a clip about that There is a gay wedding website Website I'm sorry And in another ruling today pitting the right to free speech

2:12:50 against the right to be free from discrimination. The court ruling in favor of a graphic designer, Lori Smith who says she wants to make wedding websites but not for gay couples whether you share my beliefs or completely disagree with them Free Speech is for everyone. The six conservative justices concluding Colorado state law prohibiting businesses from discriminating against customers would force Smith to create speech she does not belief, drawing a line between what the state conceded was Smith's artistic expression The state blasting the decision. This decision is not what our constitution, what our democratic republic stands for. Our work to protect equality and to limit the damage from this decision will start today. Justice Sotomayor for the second time this week reading her dissent from the bench for nearly 20 minutes calling the decision profoundly wrong saying the effect is to mark LGBTQ citizens as second class status

2:13:53 Then there was the affirmative action case. Now, let's discuss these one by one actually so the difference between The website and the wedding cake which I really don't see but the difference between the website in the wedding cake is you're forcing me to write or say words or Or express myself creatively it's not the same thing as refusing to serve a gay person a sandwich in the sandwich shop. Is that, am I understanding this? I think that's about right and this case would have been more interesting if the refusal was about putting together an election site for Donald Trump

CHAPTER 37 / 50 Discussion

Affirmative Action Overturned in College Admissions

The Supreme Court rejects the use of race as a factor in college admissions in cases involving Harvard and the University of North Carolina. Chief Justice John Roberts writes that such programs involve racial stereotyping and lack meaningful endpoints. The hosts point out that California abolished affirmative action in 1996 via Proposition 209, a fact largely ignored by current mainstream media coverage.

harvard· university of north carolina· affirmative action· john roberts· california· proposition 209

2:14:40 and refusing to do it because you don't like Donald Trump. But, you know the thing is... Now what would Keitanji Brown say about that? That's a- where did you get that idea from? That's a good one! It came out of my head Oh yeah just straight out your head Then we had the college admissions which was brought by an Asian American who said hey its racist they're not letting Asians in because were too smart Or something like that. I have the college admissions clip Oh good, because I have all of them. I believe... I have the Supreme Court. I've got two but if you don't have it there.. I don't see it on me. I can't find anything Well now this was of course a problem

2:15:28 Let's see. Here we go, this is from NBC. A landmark decision from a bitterly divided Supreme Court rejecting the use of race as we know it in college admissions Chief Justice John Roberts leading the 6-3 conservative majority to conclude programs at Harvard and The University Of North Carolina violated the law writing the school's unavoidably employed race in a negative manner, involve racial stereotyping and lack meaningful endpoints. Stigmatizing and unfair jurisprudence that allowed colleges and universities to use a student's race and ethnicity as a factor to either admit them or reject them has been overruled. Praise there from the architect of the lawsuits, as the decision quickly began to set in on college campuses

2:16:22 a really disappointing decision not only for me but for every student on this campus and any student who's planning on applying to college in the future. So that has immediate impacts The schools were accused of giving substantial preferences to black and hispanic applicants while discriminating against asian students since the late 1970s, the court had allowed schools to use someone's race as one plus factor in admissions today The justice is offering starkly different views of the role race still plays in society So this was interesting. Affirmative action is where this stems from and that has been allowed in higher education, a very polarizing issue for the United States I think they're asking the wrong question is why would you want to go to one of these idiotic schools? You're gonna get a piece of paper that gives you no work

2:17:21 All you can become is stuff that is just not interesting anymore. I don't know about that Oh, please the thing that note has anybody brought this up and you're not gonna bring it up because nobody brings it up What's the most populous state with one of the largest university systems in the country California? We have not had affirmative action. It was thrown out in 1996, so this ruling has nothing to do with California Nobody brings it up I don't see anybody suffering out here Where was the...this Asian student? What school was this? That was either North Carolina or Harvard

2:17:58 or Yale maybe, it was one of those schools back east. We gave up on this affirmative action thing in 1996 and nobody has bitched and moaned and groaned about it! And it wasn't brought up at any of the news reports I saw. It's affecting all these schools The giant University of California socialist school system has not said shit about it because they don't...it's got nothing to do with them! Why is this completely been ignored? Because it's about politics as usual. It's about... Exactly, it's bullcrap is why? No they want to well we'll get to why in a moment but first let's listen to MSNBC about how the Republicans are to blame for this!

Joy Reid's Criticism of Clarence Thomas and MLK

MSNBC host Joy Reid accuses Republicans of "cherry-picking" the words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to hide white supremacy. She further attacks Justice Clarence Thomas, claiming he resents the assistance he received and has "repaid black people with scorn." The hosts mock Reid's "mind-reading" and her claims that MLK was viewed as a domestic terrorist during his lifetime.

joy reid· msnbc· clarence thomas· martin luther king jr· gullah· thurgood marshall

2:18:47 Yeah, Joey. It's also exhausting. I'm leaning on my grandmother's adage of the only time you should be surprised is when you're surprised we've seen time and time again Republicans and conservatives constantly cherry pick the words of Dr King to hide behind their own racism in white supremacy so yes this content of their character you know i don't want to judge someone by their skin color Republicans pull that out every single time they systematically take away people's rights. It's like, well Dr King wouldn't have wanted it. Well first things first, Dr King was assassinated and when he was assassinated he was known as a domestic terrorist essentially in your eyes so let's not hide behind a few sentences that you all want to use every time you take away rights and freedoms from the vast majority of Americans specifically and explicitly black Americans

2:19:33 When was he known as a domestic terrorist? He was, what is it called when you sit down and you're peaceful and don't do anything. Yeah, you know like non-violent passive resistance all that sort of thing. How's he a domestic terrorist? When was he ever called that she's making this up who is that Joy Reed Of course it's Joy Reed Why is anyone asking her she supposed to be a host She's not like an expert on the topic because it's all about this one I and by the way Yes California which does not have it

2:20:25 since 1996. There's no Republicans behind this scheme, it's Democrats! It's a Democrat state, it's owned and operated by the Democrats so I hate her. Well wait until you hear this bit... Let's just be clear Clarence Thomas was born in Pinpoint Georgia he is of the Gullah extraction he didn't even speak English until he was seven years old He spoke the Geechee tongue and to by white patrons really his whole life, even now by very rich ones as they fly him around the country. And to your very point he seems to deeply resent all of the assistance he got and he wants to make sure that nobody like him ever gets that kind of help again because it helps his self image so that he can lie to himself. And fool himself- Bush is a mind reader! And maybe hate himself a little less for having gotten

2:21:37 all along his path to the Supreme Court. And let's be clear, the most important thing to know about his confirmation other than the fact that he is accused credibly of sexual misconduct is the polling that got him over the line. And it was the polling that I very much remember, I was one of the few black folk who was against him. It was the polling that showed about seven in ten black people supported his ascension to the seat once held by the great Thurgood Marshall and he is not as equal. It was black people's support

2:22:13 that got wavering members of that judiciary committee and wavering senators. They needed Democratic votes, there was a democratic majority. That's why Joe Biden is in those hearings running they needed the Democratic vote. And it was only black people support in those polls that got wavering Democrats to vote for him and he has repaid black people with scorn ever since example example? He doesn't say anything. The guy never talks. No, what's an example she says he's repaid with score and give me one example! There are no examples what they want is this... Something similar happened with affirmative action

CHAPTER 39 / 50 Discussion

Court Packing Debates and the Filibuster

In response to recent rulings, progressive lawmakers suggest changing the composition of the Supreme Court, a move known as "court packing." The hosts explain that while the court's size has changed historically, current political realities and the Senate filibuster make such an expansion nearly impossible. They critique a CBS documentary that questions if the court's power needs to be "checked" due to a lack of public trust.

court packing· franklin d. roosevelt· filibuster· senate· cbs news· democracy

2:22:58 A made up group of students for fair admissions, not even a real student. Unlike the Baki case in affirmative action there was not particular student that was harmed and it was granted admission to either Harvard or University North Carolina. And in 303 creative It's a very hypothetical issue over the digital creative artists. So look, the court reached out to bring these cases to them. To my mind, very big overreach of power. The way we check that is we need to change the composition of the court.

2:23:36 Yes, change the composition of the court. The Supreme Court is problematic. So when you say change the composition of the court does that mean that you believe President Biden just adds to the current roster of nine Justices? Is that the most immediate solution? Well, Congress has a role in this. Congress at various times throughout our history the court has been as large as 15 and small is seven it's not been nine for all the time in our Republic. Congress has adjusted the size of the Supreme Court several times and in fact when The New Deal legislation by President Roosevelt was threatened by an aggressive activist conservative court

2:24:25 He attempted to pass legislation to enlarge the court. It was called a switch in time saves nine. Get it right! It was an effort in 1936 to expand the court, so its been contemplated before and has been done before And what does it take to do that, John? What does it take to pack the court? Well obviously you have to have the Senate agree to do it and for them to do that they have 60% of them have to say, yeah you can do that which is impossible right now. So the first thing you have to do is a two-step process okay? First of all you've got to abolish the filibuster so a simple majority would allow this to happen well to abolish the filibuster you need a filibuster proof Senate supermajority! So you can't do it it's just that this is all hot air

2:25:24 But we can still sign up the American people with a CBS original documentary. An original CBS reports documentary. I was entitled to equal pay for equal work under the law does the Supreme Court's power need to be checked? Nine Supreme Court justices, five of them said no she is not entitled that is not right! calls to fix the court and go along with the politics of the moment. Republican appointed justices have all tended to go in one direction, with the Democratic appointed justices tending to go in another. Even though it's only nine justices, it takes five

2:26:00 five of them to make the law of the land. Does it have political impact? True. Political intent, probably not true. If the American people don't trust the judgments of their court that's a real problem for our democracy. Ah! Problem for democracy they don't just trust the judgments of the court Yes, and so the narrative that the mainstream media and the Democrat Party keep putting together requires this sort of nonsense. And they just never let up! Well there's one more piece...and this is a ...this I think is what it really comes down to you mean we all know okay

CHAPTER 40 / 50 Discussion

Supreme Court Blocks Biden's Student Loan Forgiveness

The Supreme Court blocks President Biden's plan to cancel $430 billion in student loan debt, ruling the administration overstepped its authority. Chief Justice Roberts argues the Education Secretary cannot rewrite statutes without Congressional approval. Biden vows to try again using the Higher Education Act, while Republicans celebrate the ruling as a victory for fairness toward those who already paid their loans.

joe biden· student loans· john roberts· elena kagan· higher education act· republicans

2:26:41 a front of action in schools, whatever. Okay? You know gay wedding cake, gay website okay. Website! It's really about this. Tonight in a major blow to the Biden agenda the Supreme Court blocking the president sweeping plan to cancel $430 billion dollars and federal student loan debt In a 6-3 decision, the conservative majority ruling the administration overstepped its authority by forgiving the debt without approval from Congress. Chief Justice John Roberts writing The Education Secretary did not have the power to rewrite that statute from the ground up in a dissenting opinion justice Elena Kagan writing this court today decides that some 40 million Americans will not receive the benefits the plan provides

2:27:26 Because so says the court that assistance is too significant. Tonight, President Biden vowing to try again with a new debt relief plan under a different law. The Higher Education Act but he warned it's going to take time will use every tool at our disposal to get you the student debt relief you need and reach your dreams both for me through the economy as good for the country. For me, Biden's original plan to forgive up to $20,000 for some borrowers was the fulfillment of a campaign promise buying votes 6 million Americans have already applied for Like Rene Moya, who has $62,000 in student loans and recently took out a new mortgage. I do feel disappointed we find ourselves in a situation where because of that promise A lot of us literally tens of millions of us made decisions with our lives to move forward whatever life choices We made

2:28:19 Explicitly with the understanding that the president was going to get student loan cancellation done. Starting in October, borrowers will also have to restart their federal loan payments when a three-year pandemic pause comes to an end But the president today said those borrowers will not face default for the first 12 months if they can't make those payments, though interest will still accrue. The administration will also roll out a new repayment plan for borrowers that will cap monthly payments at 5% of income, a plan the White House says could save Americans $1,000 a year. Republicans had argued Biden's original plan was unfair to people who already paid back their loans or didn't go to college because of costs. And tonight, Republican presidential candidates celebrating the ruling.

2:29:08 They are making a lot of wrongs right. Late today, the president pressed on whether he gave Americans false hope. I didn't give Boris false hope but the Republicans snatched away the hope they were given and it's real hope Do you think this will make any difference in 2024? Well this is interesting for number reasons and now we know what the arguments are on both sides well you know I paid my loan back, why do they get their loan paid back by MY tax money? You don't have to use a mocking tone. It's a real concern. Well it's not much of a concern it is... They're gonna take our $400 billion, $400 billion by the way! It's not like chicken feed. $400 billion stealing give it to Ukraine whatever the case is they're stealing our money left and right yeah this just another way of doing it

CHAPTER 41 / 50 Discussion

Nancy Pelosi on Presidential Authority and Political Pandering

A 2021 clip of Nancy Pelosi is resurfaced where she explicitly states the President does not have the power for debt forgiveness. The hosts argue that Biden was never sincere about the plan and used it as a "Lucy and the football" stunt to secure votes. They suggest he intentionally bypassed Congress to create a grievance against Republicans for the 2024 campaign.

nancy pelosi· joe biden· congress· student loans· 2024 election· pandering

2:29:57 I think that the big argument now between the pundits is do the voters blame Biden because he promised what he couldn't deliver? And it's going to hurt his campaign or are they gonna do what the Democrats trying to do which is blame the Republicans. If it wasn't for the Republicans You know, the Republicans can point to the Supreme Court and say it was their decision. Or they can point to the Nancy Pelosi clip you may have it I didn't get it but... I don't. I don't. Nancy Pelosi says He can't do it when he first proposed the idea. Yeah, we have that the president can't do that. Let me see... yeah play that clip. She said the president can't do this because it's illegal! You have to ask Congress and in fact if Biden had asked Con- This is my argument by the way you're gonna hear now Here's a clip want to hear the clip? Yes People think that the President of the United States has the power for debt forgiveness

2:30:53 He does not. He can postpone, he can delay but he does not have that power That has to be an act of Congress and I don't even like to call it forgiveness because that implies a transgression It's not to be forgiven just freeing people from those obligations. So the question of who gets forgiven, to use the term of art that is out there, is a debate do we use whatever money there is for the broadest base of support of those with disabilities?

2:31:36 More people with even less debt or fewer people with more debt. That's a policy discussion But the difference between the president doing president can't do it so that's not even a discussion They're not everybody realizes that but the President can only postpone delay, but not forgive It's only a minute So my thinking is is that Biden could have done it correctly which is go to Congress and When he had Congress in his pocket, when he first got elected and done the deal and they would have been passed when she was the head of Congress at that time. And again, he had to send it and Congress don't forget that when you first got in. He could've done a deal but he chose not do I don't think he was ever sincere about this course. He wanted to hang out there as a promise to get votes which she did

2:32:35 Never and he that was before the election. He got the votes He got elected didn't do the deal when he could have it with Congress Let it slide till the Republicans got in now, he blames the Republicans In hopes to get pulling the same stunt making another promise He's gonna do it and it's those damn Republicans that he's trying to get more votes This guy is a total political creep Well, it's one of three guys Yeah, one of these three guys. One of these three guys and they blame the black guy! They're pulling this stunt and the idiots that keep voting for him this is like Lucy in the football it's the same thing there they're dumb that these voters are stupid to buy into this I love how they blame the black guy in the Supreme Court It's his fault And then they blamed just one black guy

Mike Pence in Ukraine and General Surovikin's Detention

Former Vice President Mike Pence makes a surprise visit to Ukraine to meet with President Zelenskyy, signaling continued Republican support despite internal party debates. Meanwhile, reports emerge that Russian General Sergei Surovikin has been detained following the failed Wagner Group mutiny. The CIA reportedly launches an Instagram campaign to recruit Russians disillusioned with the current conflict.

mike pence· volodymyr zelenskyy· sergei surovikin· wagner group· yevgeny prigozhin· cia

2:33:27 All right, let's look at the other side of the pandering and bull crap. Let's go to Ukraine! Former Vice President Mike Pence made a surprise visit to Ukraine yesterday to meet with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The 2024 Republican presidential candidate has been a vocal supporter of Ukraine and is the first in the crowded field of contestants to meet Zelenskyy during the war ABC had a little bit longer report only 44 seconds though There is news coming in tonight from Russia one of Vladimir Putin's top Russian generals It's missing, Ian Pannel reporting in now from Ukraine. David the US official tonight confirming to ABC News that top Russian general Sergei Serebryakhin has been detained after that failed mutiny attempt in Russia it comes after a US official claimed that Serebykhin had advanced knowledge that Wagner chief Evgeny Prokofiev was planning to march on Moscow

2:34:17 Meanwhile, former Vice President Mike Pence made a surprise visit to Ukraine today. The first Republican presidential candidate to do so. Pence meeting with Zelensky vowing continued support for Ukraine amid talk among some in the Republican Party questioning how much aid the US should be providing to Ukraine. Yeah, Pence actually had to hurry up and get over there because Greta was on her way she was taking the train And Greta met with Zelensky. We don't have any audible clip, but she was there because she's very concerned that the war is possibly bad for the environment She met with him. But this Russian general story, this is really good. This is what brings it all—the mutiny on Moscow, what brings it all closer to home. Putin's in real trouble. About the only thing that we know for sure right now is that top general Sergei Surovikin was detained — a U.S. official confirming that much to CBS News. But the details really stop there. It is not currently clear whether Surovikin was put under formal arrest

2:35:20 was released after some questioning, or as some of his family members have said to Russian media is out and about and working as usual. The news of his detention comes—as you said, U.S. intelligence indicate he may have had some foreknowledge of this rebellion led now one week ago by Wagner Group chief Yevgeny Prigozhin And there are open inquiries as to whether he may have been, in fact, a supporter of that effort which appeared, of course, designed to potentially overthrow elements of the Russian military's leadership. That, like many things, is an open question at which the U.S., Western and very clearly Russian intelligence officials are taking a very close look. As for the concerns about a potential purge at this stage, you do see President Putin working very concertedly now to reconsolidate power, to squash dissent but think that uncovering a vast conspiracy to overthrow the government would acknowledge that one was allowed to spread in the first place so you can expect the Russians to tread very carefully there

2:36:22 The CIA is now on Insta with... They have an account? Yeah, they have a... Hold on. You went to left channel only all of the sudden that's interesting. Yeah they have an account, CIA and they have a tour link to their website And they are instructing Russians how to contact them because you know there's probably about 2 million people who want to become CIA agents inside Russia now Meanwhile, Ukraine's military intelligence agency says Russia is reducing its personnel at the occupied Zaporizhia nuclear power station. Ukraine yesterday conducted nuclear disaster drills near the power plant. Earlier this month Kiev accused Russia of planning a terrorist attack at the nuclear power plant which is the largest in Europe Moscow has denied those accusations There you go

Taiwan Ammunition Sale and the Rise of Shein

The U.S. State Department approves a $440 million sale of ammunition and logistics support to Taiwan to bolster its resilience against Chinese military tactics. Domestically, the Chinese e-commerce giant Shein is noted for its massive impact on the retail industry, contributing to the decline of traditional department stores like Macy's through direct-to-consumer shipping.

taiwan· china· pentagon· shein· e-commerce· macy's

2:37:20 Get out. Get out of there! Exactly, get out while you can. How about China? The last thing we probably have to talk about today is what's going on in China. Actually I'll kick us off with With Let me see I'll kick us off with oh, yes good news the State Department has greenlit a potential sale of up to 440 million dollars worth of ammunition and logistics support To Taiwan the Pentagon notified Congress of the approval yesterday Which is expected to be conducted in two separate deals? Taiwan says the aid and ammunition would boost its resilience against China's quote

2:37:57 expanding threats of military tactics which it says poses a serious threat to its security. The sale would include high explosive and training rounds while the logistic support would assist in buying parts for vehicles and weapons You got anything on China? The only thing I have on China was kind of an interesting story that wasn't played up so much, kinda like social media story there was a junket of a bunch of these influencers to China which is, these junkets are common but I guess nobody... These influencers don't know how to handle it. I've had my advice, they listen to our show and they know what they do and it was done by Shen and you can play these clips this is like Shen... Who's Shen? You don't know Shen? No I don't know Shen. Who's Shen? Shen is that website that sells clothes

2:38:56 by the billions of dollars, maybe daily. Sweaters, I mean anything you want you can go to S-H-E-I and most women know about this website now the only reason i found out about it was watching some daytime talk show and I checked it out it's unbelievable in this stuff you buy all this stuff and this is one of these deals it gets shipped from China right to your door, no duty, no nothing. Even though there should be technically in some ways because it's machine made at least a lot of it and they're just kicking everybody's ass and everyone is freaked out about Shen ruining the reason Macy's is going out of business cause of Shen and one other company Temco or something there are some others you there? Yes I'm here keep going

CHAPTER 44 / 50 Discussion

Influencer Junkets to China and Potemkin Villages

A group of social media influencers faces backlash after participating in a Shein-funded "junket" to Chinese factories, where they reported positively on working conditions. Critics argue the influencers were shown "Potemkin villages" to distract from allegations of forced labor and the Uyghur genocide. One host recounts a similar trip to an Acer factory in Suzhou, where he learned of plans to replace $25-a-week workers with robots.

shein· china· influencers· tiktok· uyghur genocide· suzhou

2:39:52 And so there's one other company, there's Shen and one other but Shen is the big one. S-H-E-I-N People should go buy something from them and bring down the Western civilization. He's the publisher of The Journal Of Political Risk he joins us now to discuss the backlash that fashion company Shein faced after flying in social media influencers for public relations it's great to have you with us Anders what do you make of this? Well, social media influencers that the TikTok basically and other types of social media influencers flew to China, Xi'an paid for them to fly to China I believe and they were surprised by the public backlash. They were toured around in different factories it appears that they were expected to report positively on Xi'an one of the influencers said that she was an investigative journalist

2:40:53 which of course was not probably the case, technically. And you know the backlash was brutal online these influencers apparently did not know that all the bad things are happening in China in terms of forced labor genocide and they just didn't cover that then their followers who were smarter than them on these issues did cover it. So maybe you can help make sense of this, why do you think these influencers would highlight these fancy robots and the clear stacks of packages and all these rows of happy workers if maybe that wasn't in fact what's really happening behind-the-scenes?

2:41:32 Well, they were flown in to China at China's expense or at Xi'an's expense. And when that happens you feel- people naturally feel like they want to return the favor and this is a big problem with these kinds of boondoggles and China doesn't just do it with a company like Xi'an they do it with US congresspersons They've done that in the past They've done it with U.S military officials Yeah So this is like somehow it's exploded on social media as a big deal. Personally, having seen these junkets which is more than a boondoggle, it's a junket

2:42:15 and experience them firsthand. I just don't get what the big deal is about, so I have to assume that there's some again, hate to say it but there's some op going on where these people were excoriated- Of course there's an op going on! There's an op going on because they go to Shen, to the factory...I went to these places, I can name the companies but is a bunch of em'. You see the factory? Oh yeah, there's a factory how about that And then you report back, because you didn't get to go see the Uyghurs. No You didn't get to go see anything but this factory and so that you report on the fact or you don't have to I mean there's no rule that you have to do that's bullcrap and uh... you try to talk to people there and see what you could find out for example when i was at the Samsung

2:43:08 had a factory, was it Samsung? No Acer. Acer had a factory in Suzhou China they shipped us there and we look at the keyboard factory I don't know what this seems like a lot of money to spend for somebody looking at a keyboard factory but I asked the guys about the keyboard factories that's when I learned they were making their workers made $25 a week And the guy who was the foreman of the keyboard factory said to me, yeah. He says we're trying to get rid of them and put in robots. And I said were they too expensive? He says oh no they make mistakes it's like a real problem he says if robots would be a lot better will get rid of all these employees i think any kind of indicate throughout china they're going to do this which kind of belies

CHAPTER 45 / 50 Discussion

Corporate Lobbying for China and Human Rights

The discussion concludes with an analysis of how major U.S. and German corporations act as the biggest lobbyists for China due to their manufacturing interests. The Shein influencer controversy is framed as a microcosm of global politics, where "authentic" social media voices are used as tools for state propaganda. The hosts emphasize that information regarding human rights abuses in Tibet and Xinjiang remains strictly controlled.

china· lobbying· genocide· tibet· xinjiang· propaganda

2:43:52 China population, you know going downhill and all the rest of it because they're putting robots in everywhere I learned something and you know, I reported on it. And that was that this thing Something's wrong with this story Because I don't get the backlash part of it unless it's been set up by one of our people our State Department Well, that wouldn't surprise me now would it? So you just send some jerk offs from Instagram and TikTok posters. You ship them to China and back So what? Let's play part two. You know, the big US corporations that come into China, the CEOs are some I believe they're given sweetheart deals to promote China. And also these a lot of these executives including around the world in Germany and other places are the biggest lobbyists for China that are out there because

2:44:47 because they're the ones making the big money. So, you know, the Xi'an situation is world politics in microcosm in terms of China and US. And in light of this Anders I want to read a statement that Xi'an put out he said The trip reflects one way we are listening to feedback their social media videos and commentary are authentic and we respect and stand by each influencers perspective and voice on their experience so what should we make of this? That's propaganda. I mean, what's really happening in China is a Uyghur genocide forced labor and Xi'an and other Chinese companies want to pretend like this is not happening. And in fact it's illegal in China

2:45:31 for people, companies and businesses to get this information out. They don't let people in the regions like Tibet and Xinjiang where there are these atrocious human rights abuses and instead they bring the influencers to some fancy factories that are today's Potemkin villages. That's my China report. I love your China report, i'm gonna have to get into our second donation segment right now because i've got two kids who are looking to be stuck in New York City. Well that's the worst places to be stuck! At the airport? I don't know... I'm going to show them my school by donating to No Agenda Imagine all the people who could do that Oh yeah that'd be fab

Meetup Reports and End-of-Show Jingle Selection

Meetup reports from Laurel, Mississippi, and Batavia, Illinois, are shared, while a planned event in France is noted as cancelled. The hosts discuss upcoming gatherings in London and Zurich before selecting the final jingle for the episode. They settle on a "kindly rude" sign-off, maintaining the show's characteristic tone as they transition to the end-of-show music mix.

SAG-AFTRA Strike Update and Icon of the Seas

The actors' union SAG-AFTRA extends contract talks to July 12th, narrowly avoiding a strike that would join the ongoing writers' walkout. High-profile actors like Meryl Streep and Jennifer Lawrence press for a "transformative deal" in the age of streaming. Finally, Royal Caribbean's "Icon of the Seas," the world's largest cruise ship powered by liquefied natural gas, begins sea tests ahead of its 2024 debut.

2:59:19 Kind of rude thank you? Yeah. You got it, kind of rude thank you is on deck We're always kinda rude and...thank you! Thank you very much exactly Surely you have something I have wait do I have McGregor and I don't play name or I have a light-hearted clip Which is like what? Yeah, actually. I've two clips one is the actual information sag after update so we can realize that they're just actors are bailing out on the writers And in Hollywood, the actors union SAG-AFTRA has agreed to keep talking with the major movie and television studios past last night's expiration of their contract. The union's agreement to extend the deal until July 12th averted at least temporarily a second Hollywood strike. Screenwriters have been on strike since May currently there are no negotiations between the Writers Guild and producers

3:00:12 More than 300 actors, including marquee names like Meryl Streep Jennifer Lawrence and Ben Stiller sent their union leaders a letter pressing them to negotiate for what they call a transformative deal rather than compromising too soon. SAG-AFTRA members have already authorized the leaders to call a strike For both actors and writers the shift of streaming has meant less work and less pay Man Hollywood's falling apart They don't know what to do. They're screwed and look at us podcasters working on the holiday, baby Podcasters rule Now I can go either way get a couple of last bit that probably most interesting is this sounds like a native ad but was on NTD?

It's also Royal Caribbean International's first ship powered by liquefied natural gas fuel cell technology Well you know what's gonna happen? You know it's gonna happen

3:02:00 I'd like to know how they what the liquefied natural gas has got to do. I guess it's a liquified natural gas, not nitrogen Yeah, I guess you can yeah What's gonna happen? It's gonna crap out is going to blow up We're gonna get a report from Horowitz who's gonna be on it Oh horror whistle beyond that or if not him McGuin Both those two McGuin McGuin is like he's worse than horror was he's on his ship right now Yeah But he gets paid to be on the ship so he does get props for that Yeah, that's true.
