About this episode

The Screen Actors Guild strike intensifies as SAG-AFTRA leadership, including Fran Drescher, warns against a studio proposal to 3D scan background actors for perpetual AI use. Disney CEO Bob Iger characterizes union demands as unrealistic while the industry grapples with the collapse of the streaming residual model and the rise of Big Tech ownership in Hollywood. The success of the crowdfunded film Sound of Freedom further highlights the growing divide between independent creators and traditional gatekeepers.

In China, the Four-No Youth movement gains momentum as young people reject dating, marriage, home ownership, and children in favor of a lie-flat lifestyle. This social shift coincides with the emergence of loud quitting in the West, where a Gallup poll indicates one in five workers is actively disengaging from their professional responsibilities. Meanwhile, the World Health Organization classifies the artificial sweetener aspartame as a possible carcinogen, prompting a defensive media response regarding the safety of diet sodas and everyday consumer products.

Vice President Kamala Harris faces scrutiny following a series of public gaffes in Vietnam and a verbal slip regarding population reduction during a clean energy speech. The Secret Service concludes its investigation into a baggie of cocaine found in the West Wing without identifying a suspect, leading to widespread speculation about security blind spots. John C. Dvorak and the production team analyze these developments alongside the closure of the historic Anchor Brewing Company in San Francisco.

National AI Appreciation Day and Bizarre Holidays

John C. Dvorak and the co-host open the program by debating the legitimacy of National AI Appreciation Day. They consult nationalday.com and Whitehouse.gov, discovering a list of concurrent holidays including National Corn Fritter Day, Guinea Pig Appreciation Day, and National Atomic Veterans' Day. The timing of Atomic Veterans' Day is noted for its proximity to the release of the film Oppenheimer.

00:00 The carbon is you. And from Northern Silicon Valley where it is actually National AI Appreciation Day. I'm John C. Dvorak It is not. It is? Who, who... Is this spread by presidential proclamation? Go to uh what's it called Whitehouse.gov Nationalday.com has all the holidays and today is the following national national day. Is national corn fritter day well now stop the press okay national ice cream day

00:59 National... a fresh spinach day? Oh man, of course. Guinea pig appreciation day? Yes! Okay. National cherry day? Cherry Day. National atomic veterans' day? Wait a minute who's the vet of it atomic? I don't know. It was probably just to plug the Oppenheimer movie. Yeah oh there you go. Rural transit day? Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, World Snake Day and Artificial Intelligence Appreciation day. Well I'm so happy we can celebrate that with an actor strike! Yay! Dude. So? Dude dude dude

CHAPTER 02 / 56 Discussion

SAG-AFTRA Strike and AI Background Actor Scanning

A report from a Hollywood producer highlights the tensions between writers and studios during the SAG-AFTRA strike. The discussion focuses on the union's fear that studios will 3D scan background actors for a single day's pay and use their digital likenesses indefinitely without residuals. A proposal is mentioned where studios could turn this into a profit center by charging fans to be scanned and placed in future films.

01:46 Podcasts is the future. These guys are never gonna resolve this dispute ever So I had a long chat with Brunetti our Hollywood producer Yes, hot hot hot big-time hotshot Hollywood producers shot house a shot house of cards how's it going everything? Run a radio and who knows Yeah, hopefully you will. Because that'll finally get you the bit part you've been looking for. No it won't! Okay so this is a boots on the ground report straight from the top of The Entertainment Empire? First of all he goes off on the writers... In what way?

02:29 Writers all they do is whine. He says you can produce a movie that never shows the light of day and Nobody gets paid except the writers Yeah, that's true There's always four writers because three of them couldn't do the job How many writers does it take to screw in a light bulb? And not about the writer so he doesn't really for the writers wait a minute the writers The writers find themselves to be incredibly important they create any says the AI thing is a straw man Bull crap. He says there's no way yes that it's ever gonna, your writers have all these you know specific skills that really take a human who is too fine-tuned for AI to get into. But then he goes into the screen actor skill where he finds this could be... SAG AFTRA, it's now combined. Yes, SAG AFTRA. He goes after them and he says that

03:24 For one thing, they've been using fakes situations in the background forever. And the idea that they're going to take every screen extra that comes in and they're gonna take their picture pay them for one shot and then use him forever for free he says they are missing the whole point of this. This is a kind buyer's market or seller's market. Slow down, slow down explain what that means I understand it but just explain what that means use them in the background The idea is to sag after one of their complaints is they're worried sick that the extras

04:04 even though I thought that was the Screen Extras Guild, but okay. I guess they've joined forces. The extras are gonna walk into... The guys just sit around the background and sit at the tables are gonna come in. They're gonna 3D scan them, pay them for that one day's work and then use an AI created background from then on. And they're never going to get paid residuals or nothing. They gotta get screwed now He came up with what I thought was one of the most brilliant things that ever heard, I have to say. He says they're kind of missing the point he says you could create at any studio a profit center using the following technique charge people $100 to come in under the guise do you want to be in a movie?

05:02 They pay a hundred bucks, you scan them 3D scan them put them in all these movies and say You're gonna be in a bunch of movies We'll send you an email letting you know what movies are going to be in for the next 10 movies. And free tickets Well, they don't even have to do that. And popcorn! Once he said that you would for example Adam Curry give him a hundred bucks for this service... For the privilege of being in these movies and you'd get an email telling you when you're gonna be in it it would be, people would line up by the thousands. You could set up a shop in Hollywood and just say, be in a movie and bring your 100 bucks and here we go! Alright he's actually gonna present this to his studio I think that's the dynamite idea but this of course is not the problem at all This has nothing to do with the core issue

CHAPTER 03 / 56 Discussion

Big Tech Ownership of the Film Industry

The shift in the movie business from traditional theaters to home-based technology like the Apple Vision Pro is analyzed as a takeover by Big Tech. The Silicon Valley business model is criticized for extracting creative identity while providing little value in return. The hosts argue that the "magic money machine" of streaming is over, as major CEOs like Bob Iger face a landscape where streaming services are consistently losing money.

apple vision pro· silicon valley· bob iger· streaming· value for value

05:55 And I have a couple of clips from around the globe. And I'm very, very...I can listen to Fran Drescher talk all day long. I love Fran Drescher! I love hearing her talk. I love it when she's all riled up She still looks amazingly good How old is she? She's gotta be in her 60s now. She's 90. 93 Even without makeup. She's there without makeup as far as i can tell. She looks great Um..i just love how she-how does she get that gig Is that voted? This is a lot of work to get that gig. You have to run, you know it's a voted in thing yeah. Reagan was the last one who did this. See the real I'll just say it up front the problem is the movie business is now owned by the technology business Big Tech owns the movies and its turned from theaters yes theater still important but we can see the writing on the wall

06:50 theaters are moving into the home. Soon you'll have sit in your tiny home, you've got your Apple Vision Pro and enjoy... In your tiny home! I'm telling you this is the future. You'll be looking at this huge screen and it will be enjoying it can even join with friends and you can look over and look in their so-called eyes and it's going to be great experience But as we know, the model for Silicon Valley is give me all of your creative energy. Give me your identity and I'll give you shit! That's the model that's the Twitter model that's a Facebook model that's the Google model give me everything including your actual identity and i will give you nothing so what we're doing value for value

07:32 is the only way forward because people also can no longer afford to have all these different subscriptions and guess what? Even though Fran doesn't want to believe it, the magic money machine is over. There's no more cheap free money everyone's losing their ass on streaming Yeah sure Bob Iger is doing okay. Bleh bleh bleh. Huh? Yeah the confused CEOs are doing okay not to the extent of this clip I have of her she claims they're making hundreds and millions of dollars a day Well let me play a couple clips here And then we'll continue because I have a few more things to say about writers and actors First, we go to CNN.

CHAPTER 04 / 56 Discussion

Name Image and Likeness Issues in Hollywood

CNN coverage of the Hollywood strike is critiqued for its focus on "Name, Image, and Likeness" (NIL), a term originally popularized in college athletics lawsuits. The union's demands include increased minimum pay rates and streaming residuals, which have become a sticking point as the industry shifts away from traditional broadcast models. The hosts suggest that news anchors themselves should be wary of being replaced by AI models.

cnn· sag-aftra· name image and likeness· ncaa· streaming residuals

08:33 Of all the elements here, and they're all critical to the negotiations that are ongoing to the extent they are at this point. It's the AI issue and I think the central nature of it what exactly your actors concerned about how do they actually want it addressed? It's a huge issue, Phil. So essentially what the studios are trying to say is that an actor or somebody who is working in the background think about a stunt double etc could have their image be screened and then anytime it used after that the studio would maintain the name image and likeness meaning that they... By the way this so stunt double who of course looks like an existing actor for the CNN news model to say, well this is... they could take a stunt on them and then you know could they use them over? You are dumb lady. You're dumb! Hold on a second I agree with that but do you notice the use of name image and likeness which is the term this very specific term that was applied to college athletes Oh good catch good catch

09:34 Because what happened in college athletics is that because of some lawsuits starting in California and some other places, they started suing the NCAA because these poor kids were getting ripped off for their name image and likeness. Well, and so okay now the student owns it so they can go sell their own name image and likeness So there's something about that phrase showing up in this report. It that right? There is kind of a red flag Oh mind you This is the news business And if anyone is really afraid of being replaced by AI its the news models because they know then they know that they are very Whatever happened to naked news around I think it's what stopped the press hold on let's go back

10:18 NakedNews.com I believe it's still in on the air let me see nakednews.com yes it's still on the air John oh yep welcome to naked news yeah but lets see Cecilia is still on emma getting clips from naked news Marina Valmont and Frankie Kennedy all still on-air nakednews.com image be screened and then anytime its used after that this studio would maintain the name, image, and likeness meaning that they could benefit and monetize that person's, you know, image. But the person who is getting actually their image scanned would only get paid for that one day." So that's the big sticking point that the actors are very frustrated about. It's a huge issue though because AI is taking over every single industry—not just Hollywood but the news media all sorts of things—but within Hollywood itself it's coming at a time where a lot

11:10 of people feel as though they are not getting paid enough already. So the fact that they're not going to be able to make money off their name, image and likeness only after they do this scan is what's really this big sticking point is coming down too." Man her English is horrible it's like she's a European speaking backwards like just dumb anyway from the SAG-AFTRA website itself let me read this What are the SAG-AFTRA strike demands? This is from there FAQ The union is demanding increased minimum pay rates, increased streaming residuals. This is the key point really better working conditions please and a way to make royalties be a podcaster if you want better working could look at how what we go through and a way to make royalties relevant once again this is all about the royalties conversation now here they throw in the red herring

12:00 Since the streaming model prioritizes... No, this is one of the true problems. I'm sorry! Since the streaming model prioritizes shorter seasons over longer periods of time The actors are running out of jobs and opportunities Yes This is part of the real problem They plan to protest against that as well Like the WGA strike The Guild was also trying to focus on the artificial intelligence aspect Of the whole ordeal NO The problem here is there are too many actors and too many writers, and not enough money to go around in the business. That's the core problem! It's market forces we need less actors and less writers

CHAPTER 05 / 56 Discussion

Market Forces and the Decline of Residuals

The core problem in Hollywood is identified as an oversupply of actors and writers relative to the available money in the streaming era. The traditional model of long-term residuals is described as obsolete, with the future favoring upfront payments. The hosts argue that the industry must shrink because there is currently too much content being produced for the market to sustain.

11:10 of people feel as though they are not getting paid enough already. So the fact that they're not going to be able to make money off their name, image and likeness only after they do this scan is what's really this big sticking point is coming down too."

That's the core problem! It's market forces we need less actors and less writers

12:43 That's why I think the idea of charging people to be an actor... It is a great idea! Charge them to be a writer too. Now let's listen to BBC, we get some Fran Drescher. Hollywood actors are going on strike over pay and the use of AI in the industry leaving hundreds of productions in limbo. Hollywood writers walked out weeks ago and now that members of the SAG-AFTRA union have joined them it will bring the entire industry to its knees. You know before I continue this clip It must irk some people who actually know what's going on that the news is only picking up on the AI aspect of it. Because that's not what it is at all, they want actual residuals which are over! Residuals are over! It's over you get paid upfront and that's it

13:29 It's over. That's not coming back! The model of, you know... Well it is if you're still working on Blue Bloods or... John, it's obviously in the books. It's over that's not the future anymore and quite honestly We have so much media, so much content out there in general. Yeah! In general it just has to shrink down but some... There have to be some losers The actor comedian and president of the Screen Actors Guild Fran Drescher is fuming Is she a comedian as well? Was she ever a comedian? When she was doing the banana that's a comic role Okay good point The entire business model has been changed by streaming digital AR

14:12 If we don't stand tall right now, we are all going to be in jeopardy of being replaced by machines. We are being victimized by a very greedy entity. I am shocked- Shocked? Shocked! By the way people that we have been in business with are treating us. Now that's a true union voice. You know, she is borderline noodle boy! I can't believe that the CEO is making hundreds of millions of dollars and we make the product We are the coffee shop! We are noodles! The workers control the means of production Yes

CHAPTER 06 / 56 Discussion

Union Demands and Independent Production Opportunities

Fran Drescher's leadership of the Screen Actors Guild is characterized as a "union voice" fighting against greedy entities. However, the hosts suggest that actors and writers should stop relying on major studios like Disney and Amazon and instead use available technology to produce independent, low-budget content. They argue that the streaming math does not work for the studios, creating a gap that independent creators could fill.

13:29 It's over. That's not coming back! The model of, you know... Well it is if you're still working on Blue Bloods or... John, it's obviously in the books. It's over that's not the future anymore and quite honestly We have so much media, so much content out there in general. Yeah! In general it just has to shrink down but some...

14:12 If we don't stand tall right now, we are all going to be in jeopardy of being replaced by machines. We are being victimized by a very greedy entity. I am shocked- Shocked? Shocked! By the way people that we have been in business with are treating us. Now that's a true union voice. You know, she is borderline noodle boy! I can't believe that the CEO is making hundreds of millions of dollars and we make the product We are the coffee shop! We are noodles! The workers control the means of production Yes

15:08 Yeah, well that's all the unions do. That's what they do. But it's short-sighted because look... It has worked in the past. If I were... yeah but that's over these days are over if i was Fran Drescher but I would say you know what we're gonna... I'd be surprised! ...it would be interesting I would say, look all the technology is there. AI is at your fingertips you can create entire screenplays together you can do it as a group we'll support you will make sure that have fair contracts amongst each other We don't need the studios here! Here's the SAG-AFTRA server go make your own stuff come on movies are being made for three million dollars this is the mistake

15:58 And this is also a huge opportunity for non-union people to get together and do stuff. It's a huge opportunity! Well, there because this is gonna this will not be resolved. I don't see...I mean it started with DVD's and you know that was the first part of technology that really started to ruin this videotape to be honest about it yeah okay but DVD's made it so much easier and what happened with DVD's is the studios they got 75% off the top and that was you know I don't know if Fran Drescher or was the one who was part of those negotiations but that was where the mistake was made

16:37 So once you give 75% off the top, and 25%, is left to distribute to everybody else. I mean okay it's not going to be great and she has to recognize that Disney is not just Disney Plus That MGM is not, you know it's not just... It's Amazon. You know and Amazon is not just the movie arm Apple is not just Apple Plus so it's a little disingenuous to say these CEOs are making hundreds of millions of dollars And I don't want actors and writers to be mad at me but you have huge opportunities now bigger than ever get off your ass and go do something

17:14 I mean, no. I mean it! Get off of this... You sound like you're running Paramount. Well maybe I am! No but it's the market there people who think that that there's plenty of money in streaming don't know what they're talking about. It's not working. Streaming loses money They can't find a way to make money with streaming. It's always been that way anyone who's looked at the math and running these servers from their early days on Yeah, at some point it scales when you get to some billions and billions of users. Even then it's sketchy at best

CHAPTER 07 / 56 Discussion

Internet Distribution Models and BitTorrent Technology

The technical differences between one-to-one computer distribution and traditional broadcasting are discussed, noting that internet streaming costs increase with every new viewer. The hosts reminisce about the M-Bone (multicast backbone) and suggest that BitTorrent-style technology, as used by noagendatube.com, is a more efficient way to distribute content. They criticize the industry for being stuck in old models while refusing to adapt to decentralized distribution.

m-bone· multicast· bittorrent· noagendatube.com· value for value

17:51 And yeah, stock prices based on possible returns. You gave a speech once where you made the point of that the difference between the computer-based system is that it sends out a single copy to a single person and that's one-to-one as opposed to broadcasting like in radio where there's an antenna that can provide data thousands and thousands of people with you. Yeah, but with every extra customer there's extra cost it's not like broadcast where every extra customer decreases your cost

18:30 That's the point. Unless you use the M-Bone, which... When was the last time we talked about the M-Bone? I remember that! That was some scheme. The M-Bone was great. It was a broadcast over the internet kind of idea. Yes, multicast and it was over T1 lines. You could do it today. Anyway let's um There is also the BitTorrent idea where if you could broadcast using BitTorrent technology so everyone was like, everyone was serving everyone else. Well if I may point out noagendatube.com uses web torrent and you can upload to noagendatube.com in fact our friend Mark Hall has done so we've got a value for value model rocking and rolling on that and every person who's watching passes on bits to the next person and that's just one guy just you know Alice Gates runs that yeah he's not rich

19:26 Now he just runs that and it all kind of works. All of this can be done, all of this is possible but people are stuck in the old model and they're lazy! Hey man I just want my residuals well yeah that was okay in 1980... I know because I was part of MTV the non-union shop do you think I get a single residual from MTV for anything ever? No no way You're the future! Destroyer! Tonight, for the first time in 63 years both actors and writers will be on strike. Labor tensions now set to paralyze Hollywood. LA is a union town! SAG-AFTRA, the union representing actors voting to hit the picket lines after negotiations with the organization that represents studios and streamers broke down early this morning Actor Fran Drescher best known for her role in The Nanny now the president of SAG-AFTRA saying they were given no choice

CHAPTER 08 / 56 Discussion

Bob Iger and the Economic Impact of Hollywood Strikes

Disney CEO Bob Iger warns that the expectations of striking actors and writers are unrealistic and will cause significant collateral damage to the regional economy. The union counters that many members rely on residual payments to meet the $26,000 annual threshold required for health insurance. One host shares a personal anecdote about not receiving residuals from past work on Swamp Thing or MTV.

bob iger· disney· abc news· sag-aftra· health insurance

20:25 You share the wealth because you cannot exist without us. The more than 160,000 SAG-AFTRA members demanding better pay regulations for artificial intelligence and increased residuals which for many members provides access to crucial health care. 26 thousand bucks a year is what you have to make to get your health insurance and there are lot of people who's residual payments are what carry them across that threshold the Association of Studios and Streamer said they offer the actors historic pay and residual increases promises on protecting actors digital likenesses from AI. But the union says that offer was not enough. They came back with so little, that I began to feel like we were duped What's your biggest concern right now?

21:11 Well, I feel a big weight and responsibility that we had to strike. I hope that the opposition will come back to the table Bob Iger, the CEO of Disney, the parent company of ABC News today speaking on the side of the studios saying the union's expectations are not realistic and could impact thousands There's huge collateral damage in the industry to people who are, you know, support services. I could go on and on it will affect the economy of different regions even because there is sheer size of business It's a shame. It is really a shame Learn to code! Listen

21:56 Actors and writers, now that the summer is going to be the summer of even less crap than we usually have. This is your tremendous opportunity! Take that script you've been sitting on that no one wants to do anything with get some of your actors... You can do a non-union low budget, you can crowdfund it's being done all over. You're watching the future and not even seeing the future pass you by. You get a Mac And you can do this yourself. You can have success, people will support you if you could make an outstanding product which is the question! The opportunity is amazing to me If I had any skills I'd be doing it No This is what I do I don't have any writing or acting skill Although come on Swamp Thing By the way

22:51 I don't get any residuals from the Swamp Thing. You were okay in that story, that online thing with the detectives or whatever the hell it was you were good in that. Detectives? Oh no! That was Swamp Thing No What are you talking about online thing with detective's who are you confusing me with It was some Mevio production or something Who do you think I am I don't know. Online thing? You probably forgot it just like... An acting gig in video, me? Moi is the word! Was it The Amazing Adventures of Superhero Toretzo DJ Toretzo was that what you were shooting for? No thats a good one though let's do it! I don't recall anything like that but

Sound of Freedom Movie Review and Marketing

The film Sound of Freedom is reviewed as a successful example of a crowdfunded project that bypassed traditional Hollywood gatekeepers. The marketing strategy, which suggests "elites" do not want the public to see the film, is compared to the guerrilla marketing of The Blair Witch Project. The host notes that while the film is well-acted and based on the true story of Tim Ballard, it does not contain the QAnon-adjacent theories often attributed to it by critics.

sound of freedom· tim ballard· angel studios· crowdfunding· amc theaters

23:41 I'm just saying that this is a golden opportunity to create something that people will support you. People love stuff like... Okay, I went to see Sound of Freedom yesterday An excellent example, the movie was originally crowdfunded for I think they five million dollars not a lot particularly if you have John Paul DeGioia and Tony Robbins. You know people chucked in a million dollars each here and there and they got their money together because they had a good story, they had a good script that people had never...they attached a name to it um the lead actor

24:19 And, you know of course because Disney just didn't see any way to make any money off it. Didn't think it was going to be a hot ticket item they just shelved it which happens all kinds of movies I like the marketing angle of saying its because of the elites they don't want you to know! Of course, that's what you do Which is great marketing Having seen this movie by the way I'm now thinking that the AMC stories you know, pulling fire alarms. That to me is guerrilla marketing fantastic there's no better idea than to make everybody think that the elites don't want you to know about the story which was perfectly accentuated by... I'm reminded of the marketing for what was that black and white it was kind of a black-and-white film they're moving out in the woods with a camera and they were finding ghosts Blair Witch Story The Blair Witch Project Yes great great marketing

25:15 Great marketing, using the same style of guerrilla marketing. Yeah so I want to give a quick review and then explain what my feelings were after having seen this movie we went to just north of San Antonio to watch this not at an AMC Movie Theater so the air conditioning worked it was full which was nice to see in Indiana Mission Impossible I think was open in the same theater but this theater was full In general, 20 minutes too long. Very well done very well acted good story you know based on a true story and if you've seen the documentary then you'll know that it is based on a true story and this guy's real Tim Ballard really has saved children has put pedophiles in jail

26:01 At no point is any child traffic to the United States. There's no insinuation whatsoever of American elites other than some really, really messed up drunken pedo sex tourism in Tijuana. There's no QAnon adjacent crap to any degree whatsoever It would have been a great movie to watch at home on Netflix honestly Didn't necessarily have to see it in theater there's a very beautiful plea at the end to raise awareness of this and unless you are living under a rock, you know that sex trafficking is real. You don't really need to see this movie to believe that the trafficking of children is real

CHAPTER 10 / 56 Discussion

Media Backlash Against Child Trafficking Awareness

The mainstream media's negative response to Sound of Freedom is described as disturbing and politically motivated. Outlets like Rolling Stone and The Guardian are criticized for linking the film to QAnon rather than discussing the reality of child sex trafficking. The hosts argue that the media's refusal to treat the subject with compassion is a sign of a subversive agenda.

rolling stone· the guardian· cnn· child trafficking· adrenochrome

26:46 I've been aware of this going back to the 80s in Europe, the Dutroux affair. The Rolodex files Brussels is filled with all kinds of stories Of course that's where many elites are Haiti we know Hillary Clinton's buddy there who is now in charge of Amber Alert was illegally trafficking what 12 children across the border after the earthquake There's example after example after example So, walking out of the theater we looked at each other and went yeah it was a good movie but this movie is while to a degree as a parent traumatizing you know where you take your kid to what you think is a show business audition and you come back to collect your kids and the audition has gone. The sign on the door has gone or your kids are gone. The only thing that is disturbing is the mainstream's response to it

27:42 Very disturbing in fact. There is nothing that warrants what the Rolling Stone wrote, what The Guardian wrote... Nothing that warrants the responses from CNN and MSNBC other than A.) they never saw the movie and they're just all jacked up because child trafficking- They're the ones who have this QAnon thing in their head? Oh! Child trafficking! Adrenochrome! That they're so politically motivated that that's all they can think of, that THAT'S the angle? THAT'S the story?! They can't even say something compassionate about children. Even if it was a made-up story you could still say hey man this really makes you think about what might be going on in the world! That's the disturbing part of this The movie is not that disturbing, the concept is not eye opening

28:34 It is disturbing how the mainstream media responded to this. Purely political, trying to discredit anyone who even talks about it... That's the thing that is... I-I-It's hard for me to wrap my head around that than around the actual child trafficking itself. These people are sick! truly, truly sick that they can't even muster enough to say hey you know that's kind of a problem let's get some experts in who know about this. And that used to happen! Actually that's a good point besides I mean I agree obviously the show is about that in some ways that the mainstream media is dropping them not only dropping the ball but they're subversive

29:24 In a normal process, a movie like this would come out and you're right. The main... CNN or MSNBC would bring someone on to talk about the problem as an expert. Yes that's exactly what would happen What a crazy idea! But no because couple things one this movie did not follow the traditional Hollywood model of paying off, you know. premiums and junkets and everything for the news media. I think that's really the crux of it Of course, it must be a part of it there is no advertising on the mainstream There's nothing on entertainment tonight? There's nothing extra In addition, its crazy that these QAnon people are driving people to theaters to see this QAnon adjacent stupid movie while there's a perfectly good

30:24 AI movie about the danger of AI, our main story from Tom Cruise's Mission Impossible and Indiana Jones. How can this not be the blockbuster? This is wrong! QAnon Trump I mean that's really how these people think They're sick. As Voltaire says! They are sick... as Voltaire says! They're misled, they're- I don't know what they're- they're adult. I can't put my finger on it. Remember those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities that's who these people are. They will make you believe that this is a QAnon movie It makes you wonder if they actually saw it at all No, they didn't obviously see it Well, I think they did and I think they sit in the theater and they go

31:12 This is done by QAnon people. They're insinuating things that just aren't true! There's no such thing as a dream to Chrome, which I'm still pretty sketchy on by the way. Well everybody is... No, no, no! It's funny it's a punchline with ideas not really anything you take seriously That's how we use it obviously! It's like Jon Stewart, and I think this punchline should be brought back. Jon Stewart when he was running the Daily Show he would go on and on about some operation or other that he said... And they'd always end it with a punch line otherwise known as NAMBLA. Oh yeah! Well Nambla is real but Nambla is real

CNN Pronoun Apology Regarding Dylan Mulvaney

CNN issued an on-air apology for "misgendering" transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney during a segment about the Bud Light marketing controversy. The hosts mock the apology and the network's insistence on honoring individual identity preferences. They discuss the financial fallout for Anheuser-Busch following the partnership with Mulvaney.

cnn· dylan mulvaney· bud light· misgendering· pronouns

31:54 Yeah, but Nambla's been out of the picture with all this trans stuff and everything. You'd think Nambla would be brought back into play! No no no... Now since you brought us here we got a phenomenal email which I want to share boots on the ground and I have a couple of clips that go along with this because this does play into what the mainstream is really up too Don't look at child sex trafficking, don't look at any of that but let's make sure we don't offend anybody. Here is a very offensive bit on CNN. They're not going to serve it because they don't like the way Dilvan Mulvaney was treated after this whole controversy started He of course is the transgender person they were gonna sponsor and go along with Bud Light They didn't like how Bud Light didn't stand by him after all this

32:46 Now, did you catch the problem in this CNN clip? Play it again. OK. If you don't prompt me to look for a problem... I'm sorry! So they're talking about of course Budweiser as a sponsor there's a real problem. The Budweiser, Bud Light brand has very big financial troubles perhaps much more than Anheuser-Busch and CNN is discussing this and they are of course defending They're defending the brand, they're money masters and they're saying hey you know that people were pissed off about Dylan Mulvaney. They are not going to serve it because they don't like the way Dylan Mulvaney was treated after this whole controversy started he of course is a transgender person they were gonna sponsor and go along with Bud Light but they didn't like how Bud Light didn't stand by him after all this

33:40 Now did you find the problem here? Yeah, the hymn. Yes of course it's misgendering! Hello... It is misgendered. Hello CNN We do want to make an important note Yesterday in a segment about transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney who was featured in Bud Lights recent campaign she was mistakenly referred to by the wrong pronoun and CNN aims to honor her Be quiet your missus stepping on all the good stuff She was mistakenly referred to by the wrong pronoun and CNN aims to honor individuals ways of identifying themselves, and we apologize for that error. Yes, we apologize for that error. I thought that Dylan Movaini was a they-them

Misogyny and the Transgender Movement

A discussion ensues regarding the documentary "What Is A Woman? (Wrong Answers Only)," which the host claims illustrates how the transgender movement can be viewed as misogynistic. The argument is made that certain aspects of female identity, such as high heels and lipstick, were invented by men and are now being appropriated by men transitioning to women.

rachel levine· what is a woman· misogyny· gender identity· documentary

34:25 No, no, no. Dillon Mulvaney... Okay so I have learned a lot in the past few days and what I will not discuss here is the movie What Is A Woman? It's a short documentary about half an hour it is NOT the Matt Walsh documentary! It is What Is A Woman comma wrong answers only from this you will learn that really this is the biggest misogynistic movement ever witnessed in history. But we've been saying that on the show! Yeah but this really makes it come, it brings it home particularly people like Rachel Levine. This starts with young men who are missing a lot of things in their life and let's face it

35:15 What men find attractive in women is a lot of stuff men have made up. you know, the clothes that men perceive women to be sexy in. The lipstick I mean the high heels all of this pretty much invented by men so the ultimate turn on at some point for many young men in particular but a lot of older men as well is to become a woman to be that sexy woman it's weird wrap your head around but we got there is a perversion yes where certain men get excited by dressing as women? A lot of men, John. Not just certain... Oh I have a lot! Yes yes you have. I don't know one of them and i know more than 10 men Please watch that documentary and I'm going to play-I'm going to read this email then play two clips that kind of play into it how the system works

Online Fetish Culture and Forced Feminization

An email from a 25-year-old trans woman in Portland, Oregon, details the influence of "sissy hypno" and forced feminization porn on young men. The producer describes how platforms like Discord, Twitch, and TikTok serve as hubs for groomers and influencers who normalize these fetishes. The case of British streamer Finster is cited as an example of someone who gained fame and wealth by cross-dressing for an online audience.

portland· sissy hypno· discord· twitch· finster

36:11 because the internet is a very big part of this and Big Pharma medical community. So, this is one of our producers Anonymous writes in you received as well then I think beautiful email thank you for writing this. I'm a 25 year old trans woman male to female currently living in Portland Oregon I'd like to share information that you and John will hopefully find insightful I started transitioning three years ago after a life of depression and self-exploration. I knew when i was around the age of 12, but it felt that coming out would ruin my chances at living a normal life. I have by no means been brainwashed by what has been and is currently happening

36:51 I have always been crawling the net and have been interested in computers for most of my life. So, I found out about early forms of sissy hypno — we talked about this — this is the online porn that it's kind of an overreaching category but it's everywhere and it is about forced feminization men becoming women in pornographic settings and learned about early forms of sissy hypno from being in trans spaces all the way back to 2013. I'm happy you've been covering it on the show because it's a major problem now." So this is an important, this is coming from someone who has gone through some of this but is worried about what's happening now

37:31 Born out of the depths of fetishes like femdom, female domination over a man and forced feminization. A woman making a man wear makeup and women's clothing by the way go on Pornhub there are 15 of these categories about just this Sissy has turned into a new age and destructive rebirth of the term cross-dresser Remember that John? Cross dresser There was...a lot of men were cross dressing back in the day The porn... Not that many Yeah More than you think obviously the porn has permeated parts of reddit and all the major porn sites tik-tok Has a huge role in this because a lot of tick tock inspired Hypno videos have started to sweep The main sites that host this type of content. The main one I followed is hypnotube.com Don't go look at that created by a trans woman who goes by Mia Electra

38:27 Her and the people adjacent to her circles are trying to cover all the bases by having marketed online storefronts like HypnoFemme.club, even creating fake fantasy pages like Hypnouniversity.net Go look at that one! The thing that I'd really like to drive home is that Discord, Twitch, Anime, YouTube and gaming culture all collide with this. Discord is full of groomers soliciting nudes sending hormones to minors through the mail. Twitch is full of degenerates who play games for 12 hours a day that are slowly taking the roles of friends and parental figures to their viewers as a parasocial relationship

39:04 A lot of anime is porn adjacent. YouTube is the new TV for Gen Z acting as a hub that links to games, that link to Discord servers, the linked Twitch streamers that lead to being involved in ridiculous internet communities an example Finster a British twitch streamer that started out playing Minecraft and now has gained massive popularity For losing a bet to a friend where he had to jokingly dress up as a girl on go on Omegle, I don't know what that is. In 2018 he has now continued to be a girl for five years because of the money and notoriety he started receiving and has recently created an OnlyFans where he labels himself as a femboy. It's a lot like the Dylan Mulvaney like i'm a failed actor but if I pretend to be a girl I'm famous I'm making millions of dollars yeah these are the influences that are... You would do that? Yes! That makes sense yes but

39:57 These are the influences that are weighing on young kids now. It makes all of this seem very normal! Yes, I've been watching this slowly happen my whole life. Young men like my past self and friends around me being raised on a steady diet of video games porn fast food No real purpose in life no father figures or any hope for the future gives you exactly what you're seeing? I hope this sheds more light on the topic from an insider's perspective I will continue to be a mole in plain sight for all the dames and knights so This story really made me understand what is happening. And this is from male to female, the girls are a different story but here now we have The Witch Trials of J.K. Rowling which is a very interesting podcast. JK Rowling of course the Harry Potter author who was very much against the trans Maoist culture and movement and this podcast... And condemned by... By this podcast

The Witch Trials of J.K. Rowling and Youth Transitioning

The podcast "The Witch Trials of J.K. Rowling" is referenced in a discussion about how social media platforms like BuzzFeed and YouTube influence children to explore transgender identities. A clip features a person named Noah (now Natalie) describing how watching transition "journey" videos at age 11 provided a sense of hope and joy that was missing due to a lack of parental guidance.

j.k. rowling· harry potter· buzzfeed· gender dysphoria· top surgery

40:58 by a lot of people. Yeah, as a horrible turf. So when you have This going on in the internet, parental type figures who are very popular on Twitch and they're normalizing it. And oh it's great you have Dylan Mulvaney It's great to be a girl and I can be so successful I finally feel like myself You see people who are looking to be loved particularly young children Now all of sudden if I do this I'm like this! I can be loved and plays into already existing fetish which is just inside a lot men anyway

41:34 This is the story of Noah who became Natalie. And I pulled two clips at 14, Noah was not feeling very good in Noah's skin because that's what happens when you're 14! It is I went through it. You're 14 you're a do it your Gawky Derek dream Yeah, you don't you not writing your skin? You know be might get pestered for how you look or whatever's going on And this is when of course you need parents and parental figures the most But the internet was there to take Noah down a different path and it started with an unlikely Website and then when I was in middle school I

42:22 started discovering portions of the internet where people would talk about queer identity issues. Notice queer identity issues, okay? So this is these are the creeps out there pushing the queer ideology What specifically were you looking at my sort of gateway was BuzzFeed because they have a ton of viral content Dear Buzzfeed when I was four I just thought I was like any other boy as I grew a little older I started realizing I was different Jamie Dodger whose video it was titled dear BuzzFeed or something similar I tried to fit in as female during my early teens. I could never find clothes I liked, felt uncomfortable on anything I wore and disliked my hair being long. I must have watched that 20 times From Buzzfeed I started doing my own research when I was 11

43:13 I used to just rewatch videos over and over of trans men documenting their journeys online, and even before I understood why. I was fascinated with that content. That's just all I would do is just re-watch videos like that. None of it was you should be trans. It was just this is my journey. This is what I want to tell the world about my journey and about the community at large. Today I'm going to be going over my one month post op top surgery kind of a general overview and I took all of that information in and I came to the conclusion. I should allow myself to explore who I am, and try and use that as an avenue to find happiness And something that had a really really significant impact on me was people who portrayed A trans body in whatever forms it came in as beautiful or normal which

44:07 taught me that there is hope for me to be happy and that I can allow myself to feel joy or find some joy in how i look. This is so understandable! You could, you could if it was... Be a giraffe videos It might have made- Or be a furry or whatever When you are an unhappy child and your parents are not, you know... You don't have parents or you're missing a father figure in this case. Or whatever it is that you're allowed to be on screens all day long your parents don't understand it And then you have parental type figures coming in and saying hey I was like you! Now I feel good look at me and I'm beautiful and you get comments like slay queen

Medical Industrial Complex and Gender Dysphoria

A case study of a child with multiple mental health struggles, including anxiety and ADHD, illustrates how therapists may steer patients toward a diagnosis of gender dysphoria. The hosts characterize this as a "medical industrial complex" designed to generate revenue through lifelong pharmaceutical and surgical interventions. They compare the current state of gender medicine to a mass-scale MK Ultra experiment.

gender dysphoria· adhd· ocd· mk ultra· pharmaceutical industry

44:54 No wonder this 11-year old child is going to be very susceptible to that. Enter the medical community, because was this child really confused about his gender or wasn't perhaps some other things going on and how did the medical and pharmaceutical community play into it? And were you seeing a therapist or a counselor at that time like when all of this started I had a lot of mental issues. Maybe that's not the most delicate way to say that, but I was dealing with a lot of mental struggles once puberty began. You mean aside from your issues with gender? Yeah, and I couldn't really identify that I had issues with gender. I just had all of these abstract feelings that didn't coalesce into gender dysphoria until I understood what that term meant fully which was later on in my life and so i was dealing with very severe anxiety disorder a depressive disorder obsessive-compulsive disorder

45:53 attention deficit hyperactive disorder. And so my mom got me a therapist who I've been with ever since, and when she picked out that therapist she picked out someone who specialized in anxiety and gender issues in adolescents which I find interesting to look back on I had a psychiatrist as well, and around eighth grade I went into this really severe depressive episode. And I ended up telling my psychiatrist that I was debating suicide and so everyone decided we were gonna have to keep an eye on me. So I just kept going to therapy, and like I said the core issue which we couldn't figure out was never resolved.

46:33 Do you see what is happening here? Here's a child who is being diagnosed with anything but gender dysphoria, but get him the right therapist. Oh! You should be a girl that'll make you happy And I believe within a year It's an industrial complex it is a total industrial complex and it has a revenue model There's, you know... Well that's the key. Yes! There are websites that charge money there are OnlyFans, there are products lots and lots of them, there is masks, full body suits this is an entire industry that has been created in the media The same people who were not interested in child sex trafficking they're promoting this

47:18 And I believe within a year, I joined the support group for transgender youths and my therapist helped me identify that a lot of what I had been expressing to her for a really long time could be identified as feelings of gender dysphoria. After at least a year and half or two years of those issues being present, she referred me to a gender clinician. And talking to my parents was the first big step that was taken. We identified what I wanted from the gender clinic which was to go on testosterone and get top surgery but that couldn't happen partially because

48:01 Too young, I believe the limit was 16 for surgery and they just weren't comfortable at 14. And now don't even know if this is a boy or girl? I'm so confused about this story. Our task that we got was for me to discuss my gender with my parents and once or twice a week for a long time, at least a year. My parents would sit down with me and we would have a long talk about how I was feeling because it had to become very clear that not only was my gender dysphoria spawning all of the other mental issues I was having but... Okay now we get to the crux of it. All these other issues you had is because you have gender dysphoria? Man! You can convince people to shock somebody

48:44 You've seen the shock experiment. Oh, don't worry it's fine and people just shock someone, shock someone keep shocking them Give them a good jolt. This is MK Ultra at mass scale That this solution was medical intervention and that was seemingly the only thing that could help me because we had tried pretty much every other option at that point It's this is a very, very, very troubling time. We're in what is happening here is the medical industry is playing into this for money there all of these websites ever if the Internet has screwed up a lot This is bigger than I thought it was and the media should have been shut down years ago. I've always said that

China's Four-No Youth and Electric Wheelchair Trend

In China, a movement known as "Four-No Youth" (no dating, no marriage, no home, no children) is gaining traction among frustrated young people. To bypass local bans on electric scooters in cities like Guangzhou, youths have begun using high-speed electric wheelchairs for daily commuting. The CCP is reportedly concerned about this "lie flat" culture and its impact on social development.

china· guangzhou· four-no youth· incels· electric wheelchairs

49:34 The internet is the problem. It is, it is a... we still have tailbones where there's no reason we should be able to handle this and we can't and so when you see a parent with a kid in the stroller on a screen You know that that's probably not going to end well because there's a lot of ghouls out There just waiting to pick this kid up for something Whatever their agenda is and I think that we are in a mass MK ultra state and Kamala Harris is probably a victim with her crazy laugh so the rumor is now according to some people that it was hurt oh it was her coke yeah now since you brought this up

50:22 This is kind of a universal problem. It's showing up elsewhere, but in different ways and not quite the way it's showing up here But there's something going on as an undercurrent And of course the only commonality here again is the internet mm-hmm? And in this case I'm referring to the for no youth movement in China I'm not familiar with this yeah isn't it something I wasn't familiar with either four know No dating, no marriage. No children, no home. That's the four? Four nos! And it's a bunch of Chinese as JC I think correctly

51:07 asserted these are Chinese incels. And the whole incel thing has to be put into this giant problem, but in China and there's a very good YouTube video on this and you just go to wheelchairs in China and it's like the top video they show because in one of the provinces they've banned electric bikes And just pretty much electric anything, the scooters are illegal and they fine you a lot of money if you're driving around in any of these. They want you to be in cars or walking but it turns out there's a loophole. You can go around in a high-speed wheelchair and so now there's thousands of kids in wheelchairs

51:52 driving around the cities of these areas to go to work because some of these wheelchairs have a pretty decent speed and have a range about 25 kilometers. So this wheelchair story... And they're also certified by the FAA to fly, I think? This story morphed into a little discussion for no youth but this is The clip is for no use and wheelchairs. Think about it, if everyone chooses to travel by electric wheelchair it's not the young people who are sick but the whole society is sick

52:30 Won't it be a sad thing for society? Indeed, this is a helpless choice for young people in China. In Guangzhou, for example, a document has been circulating online entitled The Current Phenomena of Foreign Youth in Our City Has Risen and its recommended that multiple measures be taken to strengthen the construction of youth development-oriented city The document was allegedly issued by the Guangzhou Municipal Committee of the Communist Youth League of the CCP. The document claimed, Following involution and lie flat and other phrases that describe the frustration of youth due to a variety of social pressures in the emergence of a culture of emotional psychology and behavioral styles, the topic of foreign youth is gradually spreading online as become a new buzzword That is no dating No marriage No home No children

Decline of Youth Socialization and AI Voices

The hosts contrast the modern "Four-No" movement with their own childhood experiences of forced physical education, Boy Scouts, and community center dances. They argue that the removal of structured socialization for teenagers has led to the current state of neglect and isolation. A report on Chinese youth is scrutinized for potentially using an AI-generated voiceover.

53:20 The phrase, For No Youth gradually spread online and became a new buzzword. The Guangzhou Municipal Committee of the Communist Youth League carried out a special survey on the development of youth in Guangzhou and recovered 15501 valid questionnaires Among them more than 1200 were college students and working youths who conformed to the characteristics of the Four-No AI is going to kill this show I'll tell you that right now What's a white guys actually credited as a voiceover and I've heard that voice in China real dude, huh? Hmm. Yeah, I think so what what are those four nose again no dating no dating yeah No children, no home No marriage okay sounds like fun

54:09 Sounds like fun. They also, a part of this thing they said the lie flats and there was some other thing which is another kind of youth movement that was going on where they... Yeah these are all youth movements by children who have really been abused by neglect. Neglect. You know when I was a kid yes we besides the fact that we had long recesses and in a lot of sports and a lot of PE whether you liked it or not Forced, yeah forced physical education. And we had a community center where there were dances like all every Friday and Saturday. Yes! Dances, yeah like footloose. There's no dances anymore they used to be sock hops in the gym at least once every month or every couple weeks. I remember dance classes everyone would go to dance class When i was in the fifth grade they taught us all the dances cha-cha-chaa mambo you name it

55:09 I'll bet you can cut a rug, John C. Dvorak! Give me some scissors... So there are all these activities to keep kids busy and socializing but i don't know that they exist anymore in fact this little middle school over here where they had giant playground the playgrounds been turned into a parking lot and then did still have baseball field out We had but what happened to the basketball we had Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, and they were separate yeah I had boy. Yeah, I was in the Boy Scouts And there's also the Cub Scouts see something that girls headed. That wasn't brownies Brownie Brownies Brownies mm-hmm They've destroyed those by you know claiming. I've never I wasn't a boy scouts for quite a while I never ran into a pedophile

56:03 I wouldn't have known, if I had. But there was things to do and there were lots of events that were oriented for kids it was for the kids the dances at the community center weren't for adults it was a bunch of teenagers we also went out...I was one of the record spinners We went out and had rock fights! We throw rocks until someone gets hit in the head like oh crap this guy's bleeding alright end of rock fight We hit a ball around. Yeah. All right, let me hit link it could clip to here of this no for no youth the document emphasizes that the four no phenomena should be transformed into four wants ie want a date want to get married wanna buy a home and want to have children these four nose are also known as the four emptiness is on the Chinese Internet before emptinesses was originally a term from ancient cultivation culture in China referring to the need to eliminate the four attachments to fame profit anger and lust

57:03 Usually, it is a term to describe the life and mental state of monks and nuns in temples. Nowadays young Chinese people whether you like it or not have chosen to move closer to the state of The Four Emptinesses According to current trend Young people don't need to buy cars and electric bicycles Instead they can just buy electric wheelchairs The future looks great for young people who get into wheelchairs in advance. To borrow the title of a Chinese media report, Young People Driving Electric Wheelchairs Now is to save them 30 years of detours! The CCP may not have imagined that such a bizarre scenario would happen under its rule. I don't care what you say that's an AI voice That guy is...that's not a real guy There may be his voice maybe sampled or something but that's- I don't care whether it's an AI voice or not It's a report So

Loud Quitting Trend and Workplace Disengagement

A new trend called "loud quitting" is emerging, where employees openly express their unhappiness and actively disengage from their jobs. According to a Gallup poll, one in five workers is participating in this behavior, which includes bad-mouthing bosses on social media and undermining company goals. The hosts attribute this to a "broken generation" that lacks resilience and professional discipline.

57:52 So we have all of these behavioral issues including a generation which is very egotistic, the only think of themselves. Even our girls who are kind of you know they're not Z-ers but some of them are close. They're not what? Gen z-er's. They're close okay yeah zoomers. But he here in the United States. We may not have the four nos yet, but we have something new. Loud quitting that's the trend now working overtime with employees becoming openly unhappy on the job and Alexis Christopher is here with the details good morning again Alexis Good morning Gio forget about quiet quitting now frustrated employees are loud quitting instead of just doing the bare minimum silently checking out their jobs loud quitters actively disengaging in the workplace

58:47 And they're not afraid to show it. A new Gallup poll finds about one in five workers are loudly tossing in the towel, and it goes beyond being unhappy on the job. It's about being stressed out and fed up. Loud quitters are resentful that their needs aren't being met, and they're acting out doing things like sending disruptive emails making inappropriate outbursts at work undermining their company's goals and bad-mouthing their boss on social media. The poll finds loud quitting is not something management can afford to ignore Disengaged workers can be bad for company morale, and cost the global economy $8.8 trillion Employees revealing they value talking openly with their manager having more control over their daily responsibilities and having a fair shot at being promoted

59:32 Experts say leaders should check in with employees regularly, help them find purpose in their work and make them feel valued and connected to their team. As for workers experts say before you loud or quiet quit take a beat decide what you really want from that next opportunity and make sure you're running towards the next job instead of running away from the current one This is a broken generation There are a lot of TikTok videos of these loud quitters Yeah, I'm sorry. You need to bring them! I think i did a couple shows back but the...I'll get some more of them. I don't understand it. It's like mostly women and they scream and moan and groan about their company and they're making a big fuss on Twitter or I'm sorry on TikTok

1:00:24 And it's like, what are you... why are you doing this? I mean what is the point. What are you trying to accomplish? What does this prove? This can only be children who live with their parents or their parents are backstopping because that's another thing that my generation is doing a very poor job of. Hey! Sit on it. Remember I used to was that a 50s thing sit on it sit on it Fonzie You you created this you figure it out, it's your problem. I'm not gonna I'm not gonna help you out I'm not gonna pay your rent. I'm not going to while you figure out your life of being a douche at work our fault our fault

WHO Classification of Aspartame as a Carcinogen

The World Health Organization (WHO) has classified the artificial sweetener aspartame as a "possible carcinogen," though the FDA maintains that it is safe at current consumption levels. Media reports attempt to downplay the risk, suggesting a person would need to drink between 9 and 33 cans of diet soda daily to reach dangerous thresholds. The hosts revisit their long-standing criticism of Donald Rumsfeld's role in the original approval of aspartame.

1:01:07 And then let's just add, you know we already know all the drugs. All the drugs that the kids are on they're all on it because oh yo the science says ADHD ADD depression and now let's just add the food And we have been tracking on this show one ingredient in food for many years. It goes back to when the CEO of the company that made the product at the time entered government and the product had been rejected by the Food and Drug Administration, time after time after time but once that CEO Donald Rumsfeld got into government aspartame was approved

1:01:50 And we have discussed the drawbacks of aspartame on no agenda for years. In fact, we got tired of it after a while. Hey drink your aspartame! You're right. We burned that one out like decade ago I was so tired of talking about it Like yeah its cancerous but there's a lot of other things Aspartame can do to you and it's probably doing a lot to kids brains, but anyway It's hot in the news today So let's run the stories tonight The World Health Organization just out with a new report involving the popular artificial sweetener aspartame found in Diet Coke other diet drinks What is popular? Is there anyone who's like oh it has aspartame I'm gonna have this drink because I like aspartame. Is that what it means to be popular? What do you think

1:02:46 I think he's using the word popular correctly in that it is used a lot. Okay, near aspartame found in Diet Coke other diet drinks gum and other products Late today, the World Health Organization's International Agency for Cancer Research classifying aspartame as a possible carcinogen but saying evidence is limited and more research is needed. After reviewing the data, the FDA in this country saying it disagrees insisting FDA scientists do not have safety concerns. It's safe and effective! There is some concern that all of this data could confuse consumers so of course we'll stay on it medical experts do agree on one thing and that is more study is needed. This is the interesting commonality, it may confuse consumers so that's what the news is telling us this may confuse consumer FDA you know this World Health Organization you're confusing consumers not people who want to know about their health consumers

1:03:46 Don't confuse consumers, we need them to consume our product. Let's bring in Dr. Jen Ashton! Okay we are back now with our GMA cover story and a new report about the popular artificial... Popular there it is it's popular they're reading from a press release... Sweetener aspartame and cancer risk. Our chief medical correspondent, Dr Jennifer Ashton... I'd love to be a chief medical correspondent doesn't that sound? Our chief podcast correspondent! That makes it sound like such like she's real oh yeah she's probably official she may have a uniform- She should actually come to work in a uniform Cancer Risk our Chief Medical Correspondent Dr Jennifer Ashton is here with the reality check

1:04:26 Great to see you. This is getting so much attention, especially from diet soda drinkers. Can you break this down for us? So as you mentioned Aspartame it's been around since the 1980s it's in diet soda beverages chewing gum it's and a lot of things has an artificial sweetener bottom line based on this newly reported study that came out yesterday from the World Health Organization, for the average person consuming an average amount of this ingredient nothing needs to change. But take a look at this list because there are numerous professional organizations that have weighed in on this some finding different you know bottom lines than others. The IARC which is the research arm of the World Health Organization saying it might be

1:05:11 possible carcinogen causing cancer. That's their second lowest, by the way of designation By the way that's their second lowest? I mean it's just like climate change possibly could be might be you know it could kind of happen but its low...I hope it doesn't confuse consumers The FDA saying they do not have safety concerns The World Health Organization saying it safe so they all kinda need to get on the same page there is a lot of controversy there There are a lot qualifying remarks maybe potential possibility, needs more research will continue to be monitored but for right now nothing needs to change unless you are consuming massive amounts. Well how much? What are we talking about here? Well what they said is that they're giving a dose and calculation kind of for the average weight person 40 milligrams per kilogram bodyweight per day what does that translate into 9-14 cans 12 ounce cans of soda for the average size adult weighing 140 pounds

1:06:08 You guys, that's a lot of soda. That's a lot of soda and that's a lot of aspartame but it comes down to this basic premise and principle in toxicology which is dose and frequency anything can be toxic if you take in enough in higher dose. Oh thanks Dr. Jen I feel so much better about giving my child aspartame by the way nine cans of soda at day? I think there are a lot people who drink that much But that's not the definitive number. CNN has different data. A can of diet soda can typically have about 100 milligrams of aspartame. There we go, a can of diet soda with aspartame and under the WHO guidelines someone weighing 184 pounds could safely drink up to 33 cans of diet soda per day before breaking the safety threshold

1:07:14 Like a bad idea. You can count them, that's it. So CNN medical correspondent Meg Terrell is going to tell us should you be drinking thir- no Can we have a reality check here? Reality check! Do people need to be changing Listen people the sponsors have called We need to attack this head on We need to tell everybody that unless your crazy person and drinking so much of this stuff you have nothing to worry about out.

CHAPTER 20 / 56 Discussion

Cumulative Effects of Artificial Sweeteners

The discussion shifts to the cumulative intake of aspartame from various sources, including chewing gum, cough drops, and chewable vitamins. The hosts criticize medical correspondents for focusing only on soda consumption while ignoring the presence of the sweetener in numerous everyday products. They suggest the WHO's findings are being managed by the media to avoid "confusing consumers."

who· toxicology· cough drops· vitamins· toothpaste

1:07:58 Things like tabletop sweeteners, breakfast cereal, chewing gum. Even medicines like cough drops or chewable vitamins. This is a lot of different things and so the WHO took a look at this. This has been decades long sort of project that scientists have been looking at. Why is she laughing? WHO took a look at this. This has been a decades-long sort of project that scientists have been looking at, and what Dr. Francesco Branca the director of the Department of Nutrition and Food Safety at the WHO said about this review is that quote while safety is not a major concern at the doses which are commonly used potential effects have been described that need to be investigated by more and better studies

1:08:37 This is, I mean we've heard a lot of these types of scare stories that are meant to get you off eggs because they want you eating something else or get you off beef because the chicken industry wants you eat chicken. This is new this is clearly not a good product But only if you drink a lot of it, only if you consume a lot. Is it cumulative? If you take the cough drops and the vitamins and the Coca-Cola and the toothpaste and everything does it add up I mean Dr. Jen didn't tell me about that These people are ghouls Ghouls! And then... That's the theme for today show Yes, if that wasn't crazy enough

CHAPTER 21 / 56 Discussion

FDA Approval of O-Pill Over-the-Counter Birth Control

The FDA has approved O-Pill, the first over-the-counter birth control pill in the United States, which is expected to be available in early 2024. While marketed as a breakthrough for reproductive access following the overturning of Roe v. Wade, the hosts point out that the drug (Norgestrel) was actually developed in 1966. They question the long-term safety of making hormonal contraception available to teenagers without a doctor's consultation.

o-pill· fda· birth control· norgestrel· reproductive rights

1:09:19 Now we're marketing a product developed in 1966, in Germany. And we're just slapping a new name on it! It's generic as far as I know and it's the biggest news ever! FDA scientists do not have safety concerns there is some concern that all of this data could confuse consumers so of course will stay on it medical experts to agree on one thing and that is more study is needed That major change here in the U.S., and reproductive health care affecting millions of women in this country, the FDA approving O-Pill, the first over-the-counter birth control pill it will likely be available in drugstores convenience stores online without a doctor's prescription early next year The decision significantly expanding access to birth control for women of all ages

1:10:04 and comes amid heated debate about the availability of contraception and abortion rights following the Supreme Court's ruling overturning Roe. So you heard how they went from one into the other this is Norgestrel or Norgestrel however you pronounce it developed in 1966 has been approved in the United States for years and years and years now, of course its I guess the The birth control pill used to be something that was prescribed by your doctor in consultation with your parents. And you know, it's like I think little Tammy should be on the pill." Well yes she is going off to college and going into high school. You never know what could happen! So now it's just over the counter, but they're marketing it as something completely new. FDA approved! When the pill called O-Pill hits drugstore shelves women will be able to access hormonal contraception without needing to visit a doctor for prescription The FDA approval comes amid renewed legal fights over women reproductive rights specifically the agency authority to approve the common medication abortion pill Mifepristo

1:11:01 NBC News correspondent Anne Thompson has more on this news of the over-the-counter pill. And, and Anne I gotta ask first one pill does not fit all women here so this is one pill How soon before, you know because different... Do you think he's reading a script? One pill. It's one pill! It's just one pill. One pill. Different pills work better for women depending when will we start to see a variety of this on the shelves That's what advocates hope that we will see eventually. This is just the first contraceptive that we will see on an over-the-counter basis, Chuck but the key here really... The issue driving this is all about access

1:11:46 And the belief is that this pill called O-Pill, which is a mini pill. It's just one hormone progestin. Mini pill! Mini pill! It will it is approved for women of all reproductive ages that includes teenagers and the hope is is that this will help reduce the number of unintended pregnancies in this country there are 6.1 million pregnancies every year in this country about half of them are unintended And the belief is now that you can go to, you will be able to go the drug store or grocery store. Or order these pills online. That will help reduce that number. That should happen at the beginning of next year but the big question tonight is how much will these pills cost? The manufacturer has not put a price on it only to say they will be affordable. This really menopausal hormone therapy by the way

1:12:40 I love how they go so deep into aspartame, but you know is this okay? Is this okay for teenagers. You can buy it, oh its one pill its a mini pill It must be good could have any long term effects Didn't they bring an expert on no No of course not What you played was a native ad Thank you Of course Teen problem, okay. I have more this is part of it. I mean it's not like that by the way Do you have a buzz today for something? Not like a buzz like your buzzy my homeless Let me listen to you You have a like a ground loop or somethings I can hear change nothing no It's alright well that could be something laying on top of something that always happens. I don't happen if those magnets Wow Now now that I can hear it as really bad

CHAPTER 22 / 56 Discussion

Time Blindness and Workplace Accommodations

A viral TikTok video features a young woman complaining about being yelled at for asking for "time blindness" accommodations during a job application. She argues that the culture of requiring workers to be on time needs to be dismantled. The hosts mock the concept, viewing it as a symptom of entitlement and a refusal to adhere to basic professional standards.

tiktok· time blindness· neurodivergent· workplace culture· entitlement

1:13:37 Is there something, you must be something laying on top of something. I'll move things around Oh stop! It just went away What did you move? A power supply No way! Did you have it wrapped around the mic or something? No it was next to one of the filters Thank you...it's gone It's gone now Wooo that was good one So uh And I was gonna put this earlier, because it actually applies to... Mimi's listening to the show specifically for this presentation. Oh and does it come from our favorite source? You got it! So there are four clips but I don't know what order to play them in. I was thinking about, I'm going to play them in the worst order In other words, I'm going to play the best one first

1:14:34 Because that's the one that triggered the whole, the other collection of the other clips. Okay I've seen this and very happy you brought this to the show today And it has to do with a new term called time blind Yes! And the worst case example is this...I'm guessing she is younger millennial and she's bitching about the fact everyone should change their way of life for her which is very common on TikTok And this is the TikTok time blind, just a straight up clip. So I just got yelled at for asking you very reasonable question so i'm applying to go somewhere and I just wanted to know are there accommodations for people who struggle with time blindness and being on time? You know...and then the person I was with interrupted and acted like I was asking something else and then when we were done they actually started yelling at me saying that accommodations for time-blindness doesn't exist if you struggle with being on time you'll never be able to get a job

1:15:31 you know, provided you're trying your absolute best to be there. And then they're like your stupid generation wants to destroy the workplace and yeah I think that a culture where workers are just cut off because they struggle with being on time when there's other solutions that we can look too i think that just anybody who thinks it's okay to just treat people like that? Yeah! That culture needs to be dismantled And then I asked that person, how can you feel good about yourself upholding this kind of system? And then to think, I'm entitled. No if people think it's okay to treat others like this... That's entitlement! Now i watched this clip-I didn't see on TikTok of course because I refuse. Uh.. I watched this three times thinking is this a joke and I concluded after three views that she was serious Oh yeah

CHAPTER 23 / 56 Discussion

Mental Wellness Coaches and Time Perception

The hosts discuss the rise of "mental wellness coaches" who validate time blindness as a legitimate condition similar to color blindness. They speculate that the loss of analog clocks and the inability of younger generations to read them has contributed to a poor sense of time passage. One host mentions how they manage a staff member, Mimi, who struggles with punctuality.

mimi· analog clocks· mental wellness coach· adhd· time management

1:16:21 By the way, what happened to TikTok being kicked out of America? How come that hasn't happened huh? You keep bringing that up. I just want to remind everybody that was-that was the big news a month ago It's not even discussed for some reason Well no, of course not! it's great So this woman who talk about a privileged jerk really thinks that everyone should, because she can't be on time. Well why can she be accommodated? She's a victim John! She has...she's neurodivergent. Now Mimi could never be on time but what we do is we trick her and make her you know 30 minutes earlier. We do all those sorts of things and when she really has to be on time she is on time but that brings us to the people who are

1:17:12 discussing time blindness as though it is a thing. I'm sorry, I need to stop for a second only because you brought up Mimi and i know she's listening...I was not aware that she is time blind uh was not aware that y'all trick her into coming on time being places on time because when Mimi wants something from me on time she's a Nazi She will send me emails nag, nag subject. Nag, nag, nag, nag. Yeah yeah I've encouraged that. Wow okay well you know as it did being on time with documents to the government is a little different than showing up for a play on time when you miss the first act so

1:17:57 Okay, let's go to the book. Let's go to the time blind therapist Oh brother I take talk here are five signs that you are time-blind number one You're either way too early or way too late to something The idea of being on time is a completely foreign concept to you Number two you wildly underestimate the amount of things you can get done in a short amount of time But you wildly overestimate the amount of stuff you can get done in a long amount of time Number three, all of your stories start with the other day. It could have been yesterday it could have been 14 years ago doesn't matter the other day number four you struggle with emotional object permanence if you're not feeling it right now it's hard to tell when you felt it before and sometimes it just doesn't feel real at all

1:18:32 And number five, if you have a meeting or an appointment at some point later in the day you have trouble starting things because you don't want to get sucked into them and accidentally miss your appointment. Something that you've learned the hard way! If you relate to this hi my name is Megan I'm a mental wellness coach and i can't help you perceive time passing better because people who are time blind simply don't perceive the passage of time same way that colorblind people don't percieve color but it can help you find tools make your life a lot easier Okay, I've just changed my name from Adam Curry podcaster to Adam curry mental wellness coach. This is the new vocation I want I want to be a mental wellness coach now Is this not? Something that college supposed to definitely teach you how to do before you go to the workplace regular school You know how to organize your work how to get to get your reports done on time grammar school

CHAPTER 24 / 56 Discussion

ADHD Time Perception Experiments

An ADHD experiment created by author Tom Hartman is discussed, where participants are asked to point toward "the future" with their eyes closed. The theory suggests that neurotypical people point forward, while those with ADHD have a non-linear sense of time and may point elsewhere. This lack of linear perception is blamed for difficulties in paying bills and maintaining schedules.

adhd· tom hartman· neurotypical· linear time· future orientation

1:19:23 High school, college you don't need if you haven't learned by then. Well in college you learn how to get things done on time and get blindly drunk That's that's really cool as a socialization exercise okay? I'll take it yeah Let's go with the that's the therapist And then we have an ADHD girl who kind of incorporates time blindness into her problems brother Okay, let's do an adhd experiment close your eyes Now, with your dominant hand point to the future. Open your eyes and notice where your hand is pointing This is an exercise created by ADHD author Tom Hartman Okay I closed my eyes and pointed upwards forward and upward that was my future just want everyone know I did the experiment You didn't point forward? I said I pointed up-forward and upward

1:20:15 I think you're okay. You're neurotypical Are you sure? I'm worried. Let's find out. I pointed forward 45 degree angle with my hand flat is that okay ADHD have a different experience of time. It is pretty common for neurotypical people to point in front of them in reference to the future, whereas people with ADHD tend not to do this People with ADHD are very present-oriented and oftentimes when we have like life narratives they're very nonlinear

1:20:53 because our sense of time is really non-linear. And we're not just talking about like, time on your watch? Like it's hard for us to tell how long 15 minutes is but also it can be hard for us to tell if something happened like weeks ago or months ago or years ago which can contribute to difficulties in so many areas of life! Like miscredit card payments staying connected with friends and preparing for future needs Luckily there's a lot we can do for this My personal favorites that one of my friends does she keeps a log of how long it takes her to do everything So she has realistic time expectations for those simple tasks I think i know why this happened. Do you have a fourth clip or did we have them all? I think the fourth clips is the same clip play this the fourth clip, but it's the same clip that we just listened to Let's do an ADHD experiment Close your eyes Here's what I think is happening Yeah what is happening because when goes back again to Mimi and other people I've known all my life I've known women that can never be on time Misogynist! Women! Is this more of a women thing than men thing

CHAPTER 25 / 56 Discussion

Analog Clocks and Cursive Writing in Education

The hosts argue that wearing a wristwatch and learning to read analog clocks provides essential training in perceiving the "flow" of time. They link the decline in time management skills among "Zoomers" to the removal of analog clocks and cursive writing from school curricula. They suggest that digital numbers do not provide the same sense of completion as a circular clock face.

mickey mouse watch· analog clock· cursive writing· zoomers· time perception

1:21:48 To me it is. And yeah, if you want to call it misogyny I just say its observational. Okay well I can't speak for Mimi but I think I can speak for this younger generation the minute they gave up the analog clock Something that you wear on your wrist where you can get a feeling by up from time to time glancing at your wrist. You know, this is genius. Thank I'm gonna give you points for that yeah points good start over because I think you just may have something to do with it and now Yeah, I will also incorporate the fact that they can't write in longhand Or what they like to call a cursive. Because that's a continuum instead of a block, block, block letter, letter, letter it is a continuum just like an analog clock when the analog clock left so did the cursive When my grandmother...when I was five, I think four or five My grandmother gave me a Mickey Mouse watch

1:22:42 And I loved it because you had big hand, little hand and I would wear it all day long. And my mom would say like be home at this time used to be when the street lights were on or just because it's on your wrist and you could look at glance at it like okay? And then you get a sense over time, you get a sense of how long 15 minutes is because it's always there when it's your phone and It's just numbers. You lose the sense of the hour, of this circle that you're completing it's a completion of time and I think we know that many zoomers cannot even tell time from an analog clock they're just not taught anymore And i think that is part of the problem Is that inherent training you receive...and I say training

1:23:39 as a kid wearing a wristwatch just glance and now you know not everyone has a Has you know the Apple watch or some other version of it? And it's all digital I mean yeah, you can you can set them analog but I Most people don't when I had one for the short period of time. I had my head analog I enjoy analog It gives me a what do you call its sense of time? I think that's where the problem is. And by the way... Yeah, it doesn't explain older women that have this issue No again, I can't explain older women and the only one who has this problem But I think the phenomenon is exaggerated currently for young youth in China Does Mimi wear a watch?

1:24:23 I don't know. I don't think so well there you go maybe she has a clock in her on her cell phone like oh everyone they carry their phone around all the time and you just look at that boom, you know what time it is? Maybe give her Mickey Mouse watch to see if anything changes She won't wear it So that is probably what's going on here with these kids and this not something you can just solve You know learning Time, the completion of 15 minutes an hour half an hour. It's something that takes a little while for you to get into it You know you you get a sense of oh how many minutes passed probably about fifteen? Oh yeah 13 okay I was close! You get a sense of that Yeah because its flowing Yes...I don't know where to go from here

CHAPTER 26 / 56 Discussion

Social Deterioration and Universal Basic Income

The conversation explores the idea that society is deteriorating into a state where young men are increasingly isolated and "ne'er-do-wells." This trend is seen as a precursor to the implementation of Universal Basic Income (UBI), which is already being trialed in various U.S. states. The hosts reference the book "Snow Crash" to describe a future where most people live in a metaverse while working gig jobs for companies like Amazon and Uber.

universal basic income· snow crash· metaverse· incels· gig economy

1:25:12 Well, I would like to make one more comment about the four...about the kids here and they're being sterilized and the rest of them in the kids in China. And elsewhere there were...and incels inside and their lack of dances and a lack of socialization and everything else going on it's creating a group of people that I think the foreign knows are the best example no dating, no marriage that maybe, you know how we talk about how the coronavirus was kind of created in a lab and then it... Kind of. It was, okay. It was created in a lab and it would always kind of deteriorate into back to old-fashioned coronaviruses you know just kinda the common cold stuff but we're just is it possible that societies which are kind of created create situations that deteriorate back into what is more natural which is a bunch of you know ne'er do well males hanging out with each other I mean I've known these guys kinda guy's forever

1:26:15 they don't care about women and they don't, you know chase after them if they do it's for one night stands mostly that the original societies may this may be the reason for uh kind of planned marriages where you uh oh grab Someone so you have to marry this person because you're not gonna do anything anyway otherwise and So all these arranged marriages historically really stem back from the late natural laziness of humans not that even want to interact much hmm, and we're deteriorating Back toward that very possible. I like that where our deteriorate II think we've concluded that on this show well You know what? This all leads to this all leads to universal basic income

1:27:02 It does. Yeah, it does. It's already being trialed all over the world I think 30 states in America are already trialing universal basic income you know and then anybody can be a gig worker anybody can if you get it even get a driver's license you can drive for Uber Eats, you can drive for Uber not for Lyft they're almost broke yeah you can you can drive for Amazon It's it's going right back to To snow crash your rating. It's going right back to Snow Crash the book when all the only thing on the street is FedEx and Domino's pizza delivery everyone else is just in the metaverse although that didn't pan out

1:27:46 No, it is deteriorating. But I think there's a... and it may even be this is actually a Moe theory. Moe's theory is that the elites of the world who really run the show they're keeping an eye on people who are not buying into it. That's what they really want. They want their survivors. They want the people who are not going to buy into all this crap. It's the NO Agenda listener! Yes, it is. Our producers are all survivors That's right and with that I'd like to thank you for your courage to say in the morning to you the man who put The sea in the sock hops ladies and gentlemen please say hello to my friend on the other end the one-and-only mr. John C Well in the morning to you Mr Adam Curry also in the morning all ships of seaboots on the ground feet in the air subs in the water and all the day In the morning to all patrols in the troll

CHAPTER 27 / 56 Discussion

Value-for-Value Model and Podcast Statistics

The hosts discuss the "Value-for-Value" funding model, noting that while they have nearly one million monthly unique listeners according to OP3 statistics, the number of donors remains relatively low. They emphasize that the show relies on listener contributions of "time, talent, and treasure" rather than traditional advertising. They express disappointment in the low donation levels for the current episode despite high listener numbers.

op3· john spurlock· podcasting 2.0· value-for-value· donations

1:28:41 I think i got them all 2434 almost dead average well we got a note from Kendall yeah I know our our patrol car statistician and no agenda statistician and then he's actually the no agenda troll room statistician yes and he says Thursdays average 1876 Sundays average 2200 so were about 150 above average today, which is odd because we have below average donations.

1:29:19 We didn't get any donations. Well, we did get some but... We got no donations I don't understand exactly why could we have thousands? There's more people in the troll room not to mention the 10 thousand or 20 or 30 or 50 or a hundred or a million people that listen to this show that know about it and we get 19 total donations over $50 today That's ridiculous No i'm sorry make it 18 always forget the one is there's a bunch of doesn't have anything in it We have, according to the open source OP3 statistics run by John Spurlock which is part of the Podcasting 2.0 group 980 thousand monthly unique listeners and I think that's about right

1:30:10 And the way we've now, so we could actually do if if we had content that was brand friendly and brand suitable. We could actually do OK with advertising. I think we'd do better than what we're doing today. Oh yeah definitely But we chose for a different model. We chose for the value-for-value model, and a lot of people support us with value! I mean we're getting boots on the ground reports very valuable. We get artwork from artists very valuable. We get jingles end of show mixes meetup reports all very valuable but you can't... They got small patch today Very valuable great value we love that kind of value but if everybody else is just sitting back and saying well you know what

1:30:57 And I'm neurodivergent. I can't do anything of any value and you can't even spare a couple bucks for the show that you listen to six hours a week, which is almost half it's actually a full season of some Amazon shows. It is six shows were done and by the way we don't my royalties are not going on strike. You know, we don't and we work through holidays. We work on the weekend Two weeks of this show, which is 12 hours...

1:31:33 Pretty typical of a season of most TV nowadays. 12 shows, 13 shows 11-12-13 you see that a lot So I find it hard to believe that and you may only be able to donate once a year fine But not everybody's donating not everybody's doing their part A lot of you are hitting people in the mouth It's appreciated That's good but we also do need the treasure part but it's up to you It's your no agenda show. We just put it all together and create it and bring you our spice, everything else is up to you." So we appreciate the trolls listening. Oh yeah those are the trolls that were broke okay? All right sure you're broke You can't afford five dollars I mean that's hard to believe Hard to believe some people actually can't afford five dollars but you know what they do They go all out and do other things And they know because they tell us about them Yeah most of those people don't listen to this show

1:32:27 Who doesn't listen to the show? You can't afford five dollars, I doubt you're a listener. Yeah but you know people think oh my five dollars won't make a difference it makes a difference it really does Yeah, if we just had nothing but $5 for those 900 thousand. You know most people start a podcast and become very disillusioned because they don't get value back and they're thinking oh if I only can get 10 000 people listening then I can have enough for ads and they wind up with 40 dollars at the end of the month it's true! But getting value back from people who... And I'm talking about real contributions I mean, send this. Even your notes are part... It's an important part of the numerology you send along with these donations are important

CHAPTER 28 / 56 Discussion

Behind the Scenes of Podcast Production

A look into the daily labor required to produce the show reveals that the hosts work seven days a week, filtering hundreds of emails and evaluating news clips from global sources like DW and TRT. They credit "clip collectors" like Dave Ackerman and Neil Jones for their assistance. The hosts argue that the podcasting model fails when companies like Spotify try to treat it like traditional radio with large staffs.

clip custodian· dave ackerman· neil jones· podcast production· email filtering

1:33:12 And if you haven't donated in a while and you haven't contributed with your other time or talent, consider it being time to send some treasure. You don't have to do it every single show! It doesn't have to be hundreds of dollars whatever value you get out of it we want you to send that back that's all we've ever asked for is just this was a very disappointingly low show Is that purely the economy? In fact we're lucky we only had one lone executive producer which is a first Yeah, we haven't had that kind of showing for years Years memory would have we go it'd be like it's at my five or six years ago there Yeah one show a year would have no executive producer. We had to bump somebody up Yep, I know yeah, we haven't do that luckily could happen today if that check in they come in I know

1:34:00 But anyway, so far... We're going to stand here and complain bitterly. You know what? This show is more interesting than us complaining! So far your contributions have allowed us to do the job that we do which consists of continuous work day in day out. And we are always doing no agenda people say how many days do you work on your podcast said seven days a week What do you mean? Starts every morning. Every morning I go through all the emails and this is the ones that are already filtered out, if i'm on track and can keep it going I have about 60 or 70 that have been filtered and thats real stuff that I know is gonna be something interesting, I cant skip a single one Then I have a separate email box there's like 5 people who send me 15 emails a day

Closure of Anchor Brewing Company

Anchor Brewing, a 127-year-old San Francisco institution, is shutting down after being acquired and mismanaged by Sapporo. The hosts express surprise that none of the numerous Silicon Valley billionaires stepped in to save the historic brewery. They view the closure as a sign of the changing economic and cultural landscape in the Bay Area.

anchor brewing· sapporo· san francisco· silicon valley· boutique brewery

1:35:49 And people are like, hey do you answer your own email? Yeah who else. That's the only way you can make a podcast work You can't hire staff in a podcast that's why Spotify is going broke It hasn't they failed they spent two billion dollars on buying these... Yes this model is not radio No it's not and then radio was gonna go broke eventually too That model doesn't work either Anyway, and I'm very grateful. I'm very grateful that we can do this but i just want you to know there will be an end if... And if that's the economy then that's the economy then I'm gonna have to go drive a Uber. Which reminds me so these assholes are closing Anchor Brewing one of the great original kind of boutique brewery in the world or in United States or California at least

1:36:42 And Anchor Brewing's been around for 127 years, I believe. Bought by Sapporo a few years ago and Sapporo can't seem to run an American brewery and they're gonna shutter it. The thing is it's worth about $45 million dollars and there's not one Silicon Valley billionaire Yeah, I can't just pick this thing up and run it for you. Let it run itself or give it to the employees or do a million different things there's no Elon Musk or any number of Hyper wealthy in the Bay Area which there is tons of that can can pick up the slack on this And so it's gone No clearly no one found valuable enough or other things are more valuable to them like space exploration I don't know

Modern Podcast Apps and the Google PSA

Listeners are encouraged to switch to modern podcast apps via podcastapps.com to access features like transcripts, chapters, and live alerts. The hosts discuss a PSA song about the world's dependence on Google, noting that if Google ceased to exist, Microsoft would likely shutter Bing as well. They criticize the lack of true competition in the search engine market.

podcastapps.com· podverse· google· bing· duckduckgo

1:37:36 I don't know. So how's our art? Well, no before we do that I want to remind everybody that you too can become a troll for free. No charge! Go ahead you could all trollroom.io go ahead use whatever and i love the people in the troll room who are bitching and moaning about us bitching and moaning. I don't recognize any of these people as donors by the way they are their contribution is memes on Noah Jindal social great they're boners They're boners not donors. We forgot about that, boners not donors The best way to witness and experience No Agenda live stream is with a modern podcast app And even if you're not able to listen live you get 20 new features we have transcripts You can search on we have chapters. You can see all the images from the artists many many cool features that are included in those and there are

1:38:34 hundreds of thousands of podcasts that are already using this. If you're not using a modern podcast app, go to podcastapps.com in that if use Podverse, you'll get alerted when we go live the bat signal. You tap on that it's same place you get all your other podcast which you can import from your legacy app. Just get one already! It's good and then you can support the whole ecosystem. You can support the app developers too because if you just want to stick with Google and Apple good luck Great talent is contributed by the artists of the no agenda show they contribute that at no agenda art generator comm we find that to be a Fabulous contribution is I say something before you go into the art. Yeah, cuz she brought up Google We have a PSA there's a song I guess it's a classic coming up at the end of show about being and Google and how

1:39:30 Can't live without Google, yeah. Can't live without Google's name in the song and then Bing comes up in the conversation and I was thinking, I was listening to that song and I'm thinking you know what would happen if Google actually just stopped and ceased existence? You couldn't use Bing because Microsoft would cancel it they would shutter it overnight why there will be nothing this is what they do They had this project where they were scanning library books, you know along with Google when Google finally said we're sick of it because we're getting sued left and right. Microsoft continued for a while they looked left they look right Google wasn't doing it so they stopped! It's a terrible company Anyway I just thought to get that out of the way because I couldn't do it after the show. No no no thats uh... End of show

CHAPTER 31 / 56 Discussion

Episode Art Competition and Nico Seim

Nico Seim is announced as the winner of the episode's art competition for a piece depicting a "No Agenda Climate Turbulence Warning" sign styled after an illuminated 1980s aircraft seatbelt sign. The hosts also praise a piece by Sir Paul but ultimately chose Seim's for its clever "gag" and nostalgic aesthetic.

nico seim· noagendaartgenerator.com· 737· climate turbulence· sir paul

1:40:21 We want to thank Nico Seim. I have to say the contributions in art are off the chart. The arts off the chart, man! It is. The past couple of episodes have been dynamite and it's very hard for us to choose a winner. Nico Seim got the nod I thought he had a brilliant piece of art which was, and what i thought was brilliant about it basically was the fasten seat belt sign except that said no agenda climate turbulence warning and have the little buckle your seat by fastening your seat belt graphic but it was exactly like an illuminated sign

1:41:04 On the 737 from about 1985, somehow it was just perfect. Well you're the one that promoted this right? I did promote it! The piece by Sir Paul who did the very nice piece of art which is just below it I thought the art was superior. Then eco science that was kind of simplistic But at the same time when you brought up that it looked like the illuminated sign and it did have motion It showed in it got to point across and the gag was there What's the one what was the one you wanted? The one, Sir Paul Couture's Fly the Turbulent Skies with the stewardess all is an art piece. Actually art. I use it for the newsletter. Well, I had a different issue with that is that Curry Dvorak was very very tiny Yeah you didn't like that part of it and then when I started thinking about it...I think that the opportunity was missed

CHAPTER 32 / 56 Discussion

Wake Turbulence and Climate Change Lies

An air traffic controller provides "boots on the ground" insight, explaining that the FAA has tightened aircraft spacing from five miles to three and a half miles. This change causes modern planes to encounter more "wake turbulence" from preceding engines, which the media then incorrectly attributes to climate change. The hosts also mock German climate activists who glued their hands to an airport runway.

faa· wake turbulence· air traffic control· climate change· germany

1:42:03 to have the stewardess flying in the air or somehow look like she's tumbling, or something active, something moving. Because all of the stories that we played about the turbulent skies involve some stewardess flying around just bumping her head and flying through the air and I thought that would've been a nice thing nobody picked up on. May I add since this is the donation segment only people who listen get to hear the extra content AND the magic number We received a very beautiful email from Brandon, future Sir Homebound Separator of Baton Rouge Airspace. An air traffic controller. He's an air traffic guy. ATC guy and he said oh yeah oh first of all he confirmed I also have the link if you'd like to see the fuel saving arrival route which takes you right through the turbulence. He said there is also within the last decade

1:43:01 The FAA has tightened the spacing between aircraft because modern aircraft can handle wake turbulence better. Now, wake turbulence is really a spiraling flow of air that comes from turbine engines so it used to be five miles separation now it's three and half miles. The result of that is a pretty much consistent layer of wake turbulence because there's always... the wake never dissipates. Yeah, so everyone is getting a bump. Like it or not you're gonna bumpy right in what it's not is climate change It's not climate change that's a lie A lie, a lie, a lie but I do like that some stupid zoomers

1:43:51 in Germany, went on the runway and glued their hands to the runway. And they had to chop a piece of the runway out of the asphalt to get them from the runway because they use epoxy and some cement... There's these two girls, two dipshit girls with their hands glued to this piece of asphalt that they're now gonna have to have surgically removed And they're crying. Two dipshit girls, yes! Neurodivergent girls... So we looked at a lot of the paypigs but we really felt that unless you knew PayPig that it could be

1:44:41 Easily misunderstood what what the pay pig was I kind of in a weird way like comics for bloggers But fart that look like yeah, you did like there for some unknown reason which now just encourages him. Thanks for that comment I love the By the way, I did like Nico Symes paper but knee and also damn Kenny Ben's they did their competitive pay pigs using the same clip art And yes they did that which was interesting We didn't think the PayPig in the PayPal logo was a good idea. No, for obvious reasons I liked Baron of BNA's glide path although you know esoteric no but only pilots would understand what you were looking at Glide right into the turbulence that was funny for sure What else did we...I think that was kind of it wasn't it?

1:45:34 Yeah, but but everything is so it's I mean not everything hits the mark But everything is quality this quality art and we're very appreciative that we love our artists And then there was at least five to six pieces. We could have easily picked without regret and already for today show we have 12 14 pieces already uploaded I mean, this race is on man. This is good stuff! Thank you very much to our artists and of course thank you Nico Sime NoahGenderArtGenerator.com if you want to check it out in real time or use that modern podcast app from PodcastApps.com Dreb Scott does also a great provider value he does the chapters for us and adds a lot of the art from the artist from the current episode especially when we're talking about them which makes it actually there's 26 pieces on right now That's insane

Kamala Harris Vietnam Gaffe and John McCain Monument

Vice President Kamala Harris is criticized for laying flowers at a monument in Vietnam that honors the people who shot down John McCain's plane. A journalist in Beijing pointed out that the Vietnamese view McCain as a war criminal, making the tribute appear as an accidental honor to those who captured and tortured him. The hosts call it a "stunning ignorance" on the part of her scheduling team.

kamala harris· vietnam· john mccain· hanoi hilton· beijing

2:15:11 You to be where everybody feels the same. Like a party! Party, party, party! Before we get to the ISIL since you mentioned Vietnam Yes? I want to play a clip that came off of what was sent in by a producer came off of C-SPAN about Kamala's visit to Vietnam and kind of a gaffe Camo Vietnam, okay got it flowers at the site where John McCain was shot down in Vietnam What the know-nothing Millennials who set Kamala's schedule didn't know that have the site and she's laying those flowers out It's a celebration of those who shot McCain's plane out of the sky and then bashed him delivering him to the VC for his long stay and torture at the Hanoi Hilton

2:16:09 The stunning ignorance of Kamala Harris and her team was noted by Yawen Zhu, a journalist based in Beijing. She tweeted, does Harris know this monument honors the people who shot down John McCain's plane? Vietnamese people view him as a war criminal So in essence, Harris was paying tribute to those who shot down John McCain's plane. It'd be like Harris laying a wreath at Pearl Harbor honoring the brave Japanese pilots who sunk the USS Arizona Wow! Wow! Hold on a second I had no idea that that... That's a better gaffe than this stupid population thing This is a clip of the day John Clip of the Day

2:16:52 Now we might as well play the one that everyone's laughing about which is the population gaffe and I've got it right here. Think about the impact on something like public health when we invest in clean energy and electric vehicles, and reduce population more of our children can breathe clean air and drink clean water. Clean Water! Clean Water! MKUltra victim Well, you know what she was meant to say. Pollution.

CHAPTER 42 / 56 Discussion

Kamala Harris Population Reduction Gaffe

During a speech on clean energy, Kamala Harris mistakenly said "reduce population" instead of "reduce pollution." The hosts suggest this was a "Freudian slip" that reveals the true agenda of the climate movement. They play several "In Search Of" (ISO) audio clips, including one of Jen Psaki.

Federal Deficit and Janet Yellen's Mushroom Incident

The federal deficit has nearly tripled in nine months, partly due to bank bailouts in March, contradicting Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen's earlier promises that taxpayers would not be at risk. Meanwhile, reports from China suggest Yellen may have accidentally consumed hallucinogenic "jian shou qing" mushrooms during a visit to Yunnan province. The hosts joke that no one noticed a change in her behavior.

janet yellen· china· federal deficit· bank bailouts· hallucinogenic mushrooms

2:18:43 Well, well, well. Let's see... Oh! I had something just a brief one and then i'm sure you have some other stuff but I just wanted to play this clip Followed by a Redux clip. This is ABC. One day after getting some good news about the inflation rate, some troubling news about the federal deficit nearly tripled in the last nine months government spending on Medicare and Social Security went up while tax revenue went down The bank bailouts back in March also contributed The bank bailouts back in March contributed to the deficit... the deficit if I'm just so I understand Is the deficit, is that something that gets put on the taxpayers ultimately? Yeah I think... yeah sure why not. Who else are you gonna stick it to? You gotta get it from someone. Corporations all tax payers If you spend money you don't have so you have to borrow it That is a deficit

2:19:38 And that again... While tax revenue went down, the bank bailouts back in March also contributed. So the bank bailouts contributed to the deficit which is a burden for the taxpayers? Well they also mentioned that the tax went down in other words... But let me get my point The bank bailouts went into the deficit which gets put onto the taxpayers. Let's go back in time. This morning Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is expected to face some grilling over the banking system on Capitol Hill, according to prepared remarks Yellen will reassure that taxpayer money is not being used or put at risk in the fallout and that Americans can feel confident their deposits will be there when they need them And we were assured this would not be put on our shoulders!

2:20:29 Well, no she was specifically referring to the specific banks that they did FDIC picked up. They already had the taxpayer money Are you defending Janet Yellen? Yeah That's an outrage! For what she said there yeah because all she said was don't worry we got this covered We're not gonna stick it into the taxpayers because they've already been stuck So apparently Janet Yellen when she was in China consumed four servings of jiān shù guìng, a type of wild mushroom which Some say are hallucinogenic. Are you familiar with this? I not familiar with the story and she had four servings for servings They're probably tasty mushroom The media coverage was quite enthusiastic and even praised Yellen's chopstick skills however, these particular mushrooms are notorious in their native province of Yunnan for their unpredictable psychedelic effects

2:21:32 The Xinhua state news agency published a report about the mushrooms potent powers only after Yellen had left. Where one connoisseur shared, hmm you thought you were walking straight but you just fell sideways Dr Peter Mortimer professor of the Kunming Institute of Botany informed CNN he knew someone who mistakenly consumed these mushrooms and experienced hallucinations for three days I don't know that she'd notice. No one noticed from her behavior either, oddly! Stupid Janet Yellen... Wow! How about that huh? That's not a mainstay they should have been playing it on CBS. I got a lot of people warning me about my Kratom experiment like A LOT

CHAPTER 44 / 56 Discussion

Kratom Experiment and FDA Warnings

One host discusses their ongoing experiment with Kratom, noting that while the FDA warns of its dangers, many people use it to successfully transition off of harder opioids. They clarify that they are not "strung out" but enjoy the "groovy" feeling it provides while watching television. They distinguish between high-quality leaves and the "micro powder" found in head shops.

kratom· fda· opioids· addiction· friends

2:22:21 I want to hear about it. Well, but I got emails saying you know you shouldn't do that and no guys who are strung out there's highly addictive they had and they got boom said his mic and they got gastrointestinal issues and so Steven our our Kratom producer he says yeah okay sure people use the toss-and-wash micro powder flour yeah If you're using that that you buy at some head shop, yeah But he brews it from red and green kratom leaves. He says very different we're not talking about the same stuff and Most of the stories about by the way I haven't consumed any since I mean I will have a bottle he sends us six So it's not like I'm gonna get strung out on Kratom

2:23:06 That'd be a good one. But he says most people use kratom to try and get off of real opioids, and so you know when you get the FDA with the Kratom death list they don't actually test to see if anyone has any other addictions I'm not trying to say like...I'm not trying to defend my kratoming take because it does give you buzz! It's a nice little buzz for sure I doubt that it'll be... It doesn't give you energy. I thought that was the point No, no it does not give me energy No But it just makes me feel kind of groovy for a bit while watching Friends You know like... It's nice! You're always feeling groovy I'm feeling groovy da-da-la-da Feeling groovy Alright we've got... Want to do some climate change? Go ahead What? No go ahead, go ahead We could How about CokeGate? We need to do CokeGate

UCLA Student Geography Knowledge

A "man on the street" segment features UCLA students struggling to answer basic geography questions, such as identifying the ocean on the East Coast of the United States or the capital of the country. The hosts use this as evidence of the failure of the modern education system and jokingly call for California to "divorce" the rest of the country.

2:24:05 We don't have any I have no coke anything. Oh, I have nothing but Coke gate Okay, well let me play this little funny clip first your funny clip another tick-tock lip This is this is UCLA students Wait wait this man on the street UCLA students being asked questions two times two times one Which ocean is on the east side of the United States?

What is the capital of the United States?

2:24:55 I was gonna embarrass us. I know, do you wait? I didn't want to think because i don't want to sound dumb There's no capital of the United States Is there no capital? Correct Was that right?! No Oh f*** You guys are UCLA students? We literally go to UCLA, yeah Wow. Divorce California! I was just saying... Yeah, well just say it. Divorce California. Those are the girls we're looking for They sound neurodivergent at best. Oh no! Cokegate everybody!

White House Cocaine Investigation Closure

The Secret Service has closed its investigation into a "baggie" of cocaine found in a West Wing storage cubby without identifying a suspect. Despite forensic testing for DNA and fingerprints on the 0.2 grams of powder, officials claim there were no leads among the 500 people who had access to the area. The hosts mock the use of the term "baggie" across all major news networks.

secret service· cocaine· west wing· fbi· hunter biden

2:25:35 Tonight, the Secret Service coming up empty. After days of investigation and sophisticated forensic testing officials cannot identify who left a small baggie of cocaine. Okay, small baggy... What? Are these people regular coke users that they use terms like small baggie? Could you just say a bag of cocaine? A small bag but why small baggy Is that what you use when you're calling? She said baggy, which is an old term from the 60s 70s 80s. For a baggie of marijuana, so there's thank you smokers hot smokers and they're relating to pot smoking Weird weirs never been cocaine in a bad that I know Maggie a Baggy. It's like his bag is it sold an ounce? It's sold in ounces There's an ounce of cocaine 1⁄2 ounce 1⁄4 ounce a teeny beany bit of ounce But they all they're all using I thought it was in grams Well, I'm talking Europe. I don't know

2:26:38 I mean, hey we do everything big in Texas. That's a good point, good comeback. Officials cannot identify who left a small baggie of cocaine. It's kilos! Kilos! Keys baby keys! In a storage cubby used for electronic devices near this west wing entrance House Speaker Kevin McCarthy raising doubts. But if they can't tell us who brought it, what else is happening in the White House they can't tell us about? What else is coming into the White House they can't tell me about that even concerns me more now lab tests conducted at the FBI crime lab did not develop latent fingerprints and insufficient DNA was present for investigative comparisons officials said they used video and entrance logs

2:27:24 to compile a list of more than 500 individuals who had access to the entrance in the days before it was found July 2nd. But without physical or video evidence, officials could not connect the drug to any suspect. It's complete failure I mean this thing is ridiculous. The White House said it is reviewing the findings Democrats acknowledged despite law enforcement's efforts, the mystery remains. It's a mystery! Mystery let's listen to CBS if they have any more clues to this mystery now the other big story today the Secret Service said it has closed its investigation into that mysterious

2:28:04 bag of cocaine that was found in a White House work area earlier this month. We have, what's her name? Is this Nora? No, no this is Nicole. That's Nora! No it's Nicole. It's Nicole. This is Nicole Skanga. The person that's just reading that right there? I think so Play it again. No, we'll continue so why wasn't a suspect ever identified? We get answered from CBS and Nicole Skanga at the White House. Nicole Skanga's at the White House come on in Nicole after The Secret Service discovered cocaine in the West Wing of the White House Press Secretary Kareem Jean-Pierre said President Biden expected a thorough investigation

2:28:44 The president thinks it's very important to get to the bottom of this. But after just 10 days, the Secret Service closed its investigation unable to identify whose cocaine it was and how it got inside the White House. Baggy, small baggy. Why are they all using the term baggy? Roughly 0.2 grams of the drug was found July 2nd just inside the guest entryway to The West Wing in a cubby used by visitors to store cell phones steps away from the Situation Room FBI analysts examining the bag looked for traces of DNA and fingerprints but found no definitive results

2:29:22 The Secret Service, which briefed the House Oversight Committee this morning scoured video inside and outside the building and said no surveillance footage provided investigative leads. They don't know who it is and they...it's a complete failure Some Republicans left the briefing demanding answers How can in the White House, 24-7 security, they find cocaine but now they just close the investigation? In its statement, The Secret Service cited the difficulty in singling out a person among the hundreds of individuals who passed through the area where the cocaine was discovered.

2:30:00 The Secret Service has a canine unit that screens for explosive devices and biohazards, but not illegal drugs. And for some lawmakers this incident now raises questions about security protocols at the White House This is very disturbing! We cannot find... Who of these 500 people who passed through that entrance dropped their baggie, their baggie of cocaine? Let's go to PBS. The Secret Service has finished investigating how a baggie of cocaine got into... Even PBS is using Baggie! What is up with Baggie?! Come on I need answers. Why is this called a baggie? Because somebody, whoever sent out the press release used it? No that must be. And they're just parroting the press release. A baggie of cocaine got into the White House with no leads and no suspects

CHAPTER 47 / 56 Discussion

Media Terminology and Dime Bag Code

Chuck Todd is criticized for referring to the White House cocaine as a "dime bag," a term usually reserved for marijuana. The hosts speculate that the involvement of Fort Detrick suggests officials initially feared the substance was a biological agent like anthrax. They question why there was a "blind spot" in the security cameras at one of the most secure buildings in the world.

chuck todd· dime bag· fort detrick· anthrax· ziploc

2:30:50 The powdered drug turned up in a lobby area used by staff and tour groups alike. A Secret Service report says tests found no fingerprints and no DNA, and video of the lobby entrance was no help. So there were no fingerprints and no DNA on the baggie? Bull crap! Bull... Come on you wiped your baggie?! Let's listen to, um... let's see if Chuck Todd should chip Chuck. Chuck Toddcast is on the same tip of baggy meet the press. Welcome back! The investigation into that dime bag of cocaine. Dimebag?!

2:31:29 Did he say that? He said dime bag. There's no such thing, a dime bag is weed even I know that. Yeah it's a weed you're saying yeah you don't have a dime bag Why is he saying dinebag this is ridiculous Maybe they wait a minute did maybe there this is code how about that for an idea okay well what's the why is he using different code It's code for marijuana because they found Camelot stash And they're just making it clear to her that we need to be a little more careful. We know, we know it's you Kamala, we know its you! Welcome back the investigation into that dime bag of cocaine that was found at The White House earlier this month is over but there's no conclusion on who was responsible. The Secret Service announced this morning and no forensic... Two grams wouldn't be a dime bag anyway A dime is a price, it's $10. Yeah so it'd be ten bucks or hundred depending on

2:32:21 And what street art got him dealing with. I would know, because i can only afford nickel bags But there's no conclusion on who is responsible the secret service announced this morning that no forensic or video evidence was able to clearly identify anyone potentially responsible for bringing this dime-sized baggie of the drug into the house Dime sized baggie! Now he throws the baggie Wait a minute wait hold on a second It's the size of a dime A dime sized baggy? That's there you got you got your your your nailed one there. What is this dime-sized baggie? Well, that's just a little bitty bitty bitty bitty thing It's so it's the size of a dime well That's what he said even the way He described if this guy's this guy's got one foot out the door. He's not even being careful I've never seen cocaine in his life apparently

2:33:05 Warweed, no wonder he's getting fired. Now, the only person who has the right idea about this... Oh wait I'll play this next one. So what are they gonna do with these 500 people? Did they interview anybody? Not that we know of. And basically what we've been told is they looked at the surveillance video, they went through the visitor logs and I suspect they would have done interviews if they had had some sort of forensic evidence that they could try to match to someone but no one has talked about interviews in the time that i've been working on this over the last 10 days. I've been working for ten days on this dime-sized baggy gate! So the surprising thing as people would expect

2:34:01 Of course they can solve it. The FBI crime lab was involved, Fort Detrick which does very sophisticated testing... Fort Detrick? What?! Fort Detrick was called in! Call in the Detrick boys! Stop! It depresses! Detrick come on and help us find the owner of this time sized baggie!! So I have to assume that if they mentioned a Fort Detrick had to do with the fact that they thought it might be anthrax and we know where would've come from Oh, this is so good. I've got to think... Hold on a second, where's the reporting here? I've got to think all these people are due coke. Where is the reporting of whether it was a Ziploc bag or Glad Bag what kind of bag is it well they all know what it means because they're all using the baggie code hey you gotta baggy on yeah make me some give me some coke about to go on air except Chip Todd Chuck Todd he doesn't know anything

2:35:22 No, he never. Well that's far for the course of that show He's square! He doesn't do coke he doesn't do weeds like no get rid of that guy he's not partying He is an incel thing of things that could be anthrax or ricin or a biological agent in this case what they're saying is it was a very small plastic baggie they could not get fingerprints that were usable off of that They did some advanced testing expensive process Expensive process? Oh! No, that's the process where they do the sublimation processes. It is kind of expensive. Some advanced testing, expensive process and DNA didn't have enough material to do a comparison if they had found something then you would need to figure out well how do you compare it and if you're talking about visitors people who are coming in on a tour staff-led tour not a public tour I was just gonna say we should remind people this

2:36:14 This is why I'm a little skeptical of whether they could find it or not because this is not the most trafficked entrance and this is the VIP entrance. VIP? In some form or another, isn't it? VIPs go through there but there are a lot... These guys can't get their stories straight! At first it was carpenters only went through there It was by the parking lot It's Camelot, I'm sure of it.

2:36:52 Yes. It's not a press entry? It is not a press entry if I've been oh it's not the press we may know everything about baggies but it's not us you know, it's not our skanks, not our blow, not our powder, not our snow babies, certainly not chip togs. But those who are... That's basically what he just said. We're all coke heads here because we don't talk about baggies By the way, I love how fast you're talking. It's not a press entrance. It is not a press entrance but those who are... It's the drug dealers' entrance! We all know that's where the dealers come in. ...entrance. It is not a press entrance but those who are right now there is a lot of construction being done some remodeling being done so they want contractors military personnel

CHAPTER 48 / 56 Discussion

Theories on the White House Cocaine Drop

The leading theory discussed is that the cocaine was left at a "drop point" for a senior staffer or visitor. The hosts note that the location—the West Exec entrance—is used daily by Vice President Kamala Harris. They discuss the strict drug testing and security clearance requirements for White House employees, suggesting that a staffer would be taking a massive risk by bringing drugs onto the campus.

marjorie taylor greene· kamala harris· west exec entrance· drug testing· situation room

2:37:33 It's the damn carpenters. You're right John staff will go through there The president will go through they're going over to the EEOB but in terms of visitors it was a holiday weekend and there are a lot of staff led tours that happen after work hours and on the weekend And so some officials are saying the leading theory is as a visitor No. Marjorie Taylor Greene has the right idea This is why I'm a little skeptical of whether they could find it or not because this is not the most trafficked entrance and this is the VIP entrance But, this is not what I wanted Can I make a comment? Yeah, please just come to me. She wanted to drop a drop point. I think that was a secret That's why there is no fingerprints or anything on it because the guy literally did a wipe down and he dropped it There for someone else to pick up

2:38:22 possible I think it was the dealer's drop point he got somehow involved with the carpenters or whoever is going there, you got through? Got through their entrance dropped it there for someone Kamala or Hunter come to mind. To pick it up Well, they didn't pick it up. Who else doesn't pick stuff up? Well then there must be a Venmo ban somewhere. A laptop anybody? A little example of the past is not picking up a laptop not picking up your drugs I think this is a duplicate clip I think because Marjorie Taylor Greene let me see if it's here hold on second

2:38:57 We don't know. That's the Occam's razor, like the most likely thing is somebody that was... And there's a drug policy and drug testing requirements for employees of the White House They still do drug testing Yes they do It's randomized drugs tests Yes they do test all 500 of the names. Yes, well of course you need probable cause to do that massively test people who might have been visitors so it's an unsatisfying answer for a lot of people. You can't just massively test yes if you were in the White House I think you can be tested. We've tested millions of people for COVID. They know it's a waste of time well The View

2:39:35 had more interesting data than these jabrokes. Here's what I'd say, is this the most important story of our time? Yes it is! No does it matter yes so this entrance where it was found is the West Exec entrance into the west... I thought it was found in a library no everyone's lying that's why it's so funny wing which is not one that is used for more ceremonial events it's really where Senior staff who have blue badges that allow them access to the West Wing go in. Ooh, senior staff! You have to be escorted in if you're a guest by somebody who has a badge to go in It's literally 10 steps from the Situation Room which I believe is under renovation but just so you get a sense of like where it is in the building Maybe was one of the generals or the five-star generals all jacked on coke The VP and Vice President... I can see that. Ooh ooh ooh! The VP?

2:40:24 The VP, Vice President Harris walks in that entrance every day because her motorcade drops her off there. Every day! That's your drop point That's the rumor. Hey VP, hey VP I'll drop it when you come in tomorrow through this entrance as you do every day and just send me a Venmo It's foot traffic of senior staff and every person Visitors too and there are a lot of little cubbies because I've been in there You have to be escorted by seniors You don't need to be invited You have to be invited Have gone through the WAVES program And be escorted by someone The WAVES program? See everyone who goes in is part of the White House Access something restriction whatever the Obama put that in place everyone who went through is known But it's interesting because yeah Everyone who works on the White House campus has to get a drug test before they're ever eligible to work there And you're subject to random screenings I actually got one once after having kidney stones and then tested positive for the painkillers. I had gone and had to get medical records, but

2:41:21 Why were you going through that entrance? You know what, I think a lot of these people all know about this. They go through this entrance all the time to get their briefings not press briefing but actually from senior staffers saying this is what you're gonna say and you'll tell us from sources close to the matter People familiar with the president's thinking here's your coke go away long story short people in those positions cannot be doing drugs our Adversaries could exploit it. It's it's not a small deal I don't think that's the thing is like cocaine game We don't know who did this? I'm thinking maybe as a tourist a stupid tourists, I guess something

CHAPTER 49 / 56 Discussion

Discrediting Kamala Harris and Rumor Intel

The hosts suggest that the cocaine story and the "population" gaffe are being used to "besmirch" Kamala Harris to prevent her from running for president. They cite "RUMINT" (rumor intelligence) suggesting the drugs belonged to her, but they suspect it may be a setup by political rivals. They also mention that Gavin Newsom is likely being "cut off at the knees" by similar tactics.

anna navarro· ozempic· kamala harris· rument· gavin newsom

2:41:57 She doesn't have T's this woman. Tourists, a guest... That's what her name is? The Mexican chick. Supposedly a Republican. No no no! This is the lawyer. Anna, what's her name? No it's not Anna. This is the lawyer. That's Anna. No! Caingate we don't know who did this I'm thinking maybe as a tourist. Oh you're right it is Anna Navarro who's on Ozempic You don't know who did this. I'm thinking maybe it's a tourist, a stupid tourist, a guest somebody like that and you've got to put your phone there. You gotta put your bags there. You gotta put stuff there and so somebody just... Who brings the cocaine of the white people?

2:42:37 Notice notice the absence of the term baggy listen marks down everything you have to do to be in that part of The White House. I wonder why it seemed to be a blind spot for a security camera We can't go to a Broadway show You we can't go we can't fly without taking our shoes off yet? You have this very private part of The White House, and they don't have cameras on the cubbyhole surprise Because they don't have cameras, because they do have people there. January 6th when we talk about the security problems they had the breaches and warnings and then you look at the classified documents again people on both parties having them There's some stuff that needs to be tightened up ASAP You know like when your kids uh those cubbies where you put shoes That's what these cubbies look like right? So if you're taking your phone out of your pocket not that I've brought anything into

2:43:23 the White House. Like, on the Hunter Biden of it because of course it became memes and everyone's like, Of course its Hunters. I don't think there is any evidence that the Biden family wasn't there. I think it's a bigger deal if it was a White House staffer though They are the ones who were forbidden You're subject to random drug screenings Insecurity clearances you're not even eligible for top secret clearance If you've done drugs in the last 10 years Yeah alright, thats fair Well they know alot about it But they dont use the term baggy

2:44:04 Yeah, I'm now thinking when I listen to this clip in particular since that's a real conduit for false disinformation That show yeah. I'll say I am pretty sure you know first I was like hunter hunters You obviously it's hunter But they kept moving the baggy bag from the library to the East Wing or to the West wing Library which is okay start from the east wing went to the west wing then went to this entrance and And then all of a sudden it's where Harris parks her car and where Harris goes in and out every day. They brought that up in that clip. They're trying to... this was planted, this was done to besmirch Harris

2:44:43 Because they don't want her even thinking about running for president. They're gonna this is gonna happen We're gonna see more and more besmirching of her I think that that read of her saying the lower population probably read that on the right off to prompt her She didn't misread pollution it was written population Is to discredit her as a moron cokehead yep, oh I'm with you. That'll be used later Yeah, you're right and it then so we'll see more of this in other words. I think so I think will we all we all what they know there's only one news report that mentioned it that this is and that was the ladies Ladies are the you who have mentioned bats with a vice-president from one of our producers saying from I think he works there somewhere He says that the rumor

2:45:30 It's her. It's her coke, but I'm not thinking of this... He said the room int? I'm not thinking that rumor is part of the system to rumor her out She's not getting they're not gonna take any chances with this woman there They're afraid of her she's Please notice our producer said the room int R-U-M-I-N-T which is rumor intel Yeah a rumor Intel That mean and of course which is made up as far as I can tell But that someone who's in the know yeah, I agree And it probably is the room. Int is probably saying, It's her but that doesn't mean it's not her and she's not being set up where always have to be aware of this setup misdirection. And I think that's what we're dealing with. Thank you right? So she's a target. She's out. Gavin has got to be cut off at the knees too he's no good they can do they're going let him get in this RFK junior you watch you heard here first

CHAPTER 50 / 56 Discussion

RFK Jr. as a Potential Deep State Candidate

A theory is proposed that the CIA may be preparing Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as a "make-good" candidate to straighten out Big Pharma and the military-industrial complex. RFK Jr. faced backlash for comments about COVID-19 potentially being genetically targeted, which the hosts argue was misrepresented by the media. They discuss his popularity among "MAGA country" voters who are looking for an alternative to the current establishment.

rfk jr· cia· big pharma· bioweapons· ashkenazi jews

2:46:28 He is the nominee. Yes, and then it's amazing what he's saying and what he's getting away with that we actually We had a rare chat about this after the show Because I want to make sure everyone knows that is your idea That that RFK Bobby the K isn't up And if I'll paraphrase Your theory which I like The CIA is preparing to put him in and it's a it's a make-good And the make good goes like this, hey man we're sorry about your dad. Sorry about your uncle that really sucked I know i know We're gonna make good when they let you be president first thing you got to do is stop this annoying big pharma They killed our job to kill people not theirs so You're gonna get rid of them there's a couple deep state people we want out. We're going to straighten some stuff out But you'll be our boy

2:47:21 Did I paraphrase that correctly? This is part of it. Yeah, I think that summarizes things they need to get back on track and the pharma thing is out of control they got a pull those advertising thing Kennedy's all in on that And...and! They've got it The military-industrial complex is also a pain in their ass and I think this latest released video from Bobby Decay which The New York Post titled as RFK Jr. says COVID may have been ethnically targeted to spare Jews, which is not at all what he said! What? So this was a very noisy clip I pulled it through the Adobe AI. James a miracle worker Now it didn't do that great of a job interestingly It straightened out his speech

2:48:17 See if, see what you think. Oh that's interesting! If you don't think it's any good I'll stop it because it's still pretty noisy but it straightened out his speech to a certain degree. And we need to talk about bio-weapons now... Well I know a lot now about bioweapons because of the... Yeah you can't hear that at all can ya? It's terrible what and Adobe didn't get that noise out of there. Let me see if it got better here No, it doesn't work you know I'll bet you his speech is so is the problem Adobe looks for the, tries to find the vocal within the noise and he speaks with noise built into his voice. I think the problem is well there's one thing i could try hold on a second...I think the problem is because I'm pulling it through my compressor let me see if I turn the compressor off let me see what happens hold on a second uh compressor off let's

2:49:14 And we need to talk about bio weapons. I know a lot now about bioweapons because when it broke out in the past... No, it doesn't work at all. So he's talking about bioweapons which the CIA is all jacked up about? Yeah but what he's saying is there's evidence from research that the AC-2 receptors responded to white people and black people but spared Asians and Ashkenazi Jews And he says, everyone is making... China. He says the US were making genetically targeted bioweapons That's what he said Yeah! He didn't say ethnically targeted to spare Jews Which is funny but he didn't say that So your theory I like it and It's interesting because

CHAPTER 51 / 56 Discussion

Bubly Sparkling Water and Mask Mandates

The host expresses frustration with Bubly sparkling water for adding electrolytes like potassium chloride, preferring natural mineral water instead. The conversation shifts to the observation that many people in certain areas are still wearing masks in public, which the hosts find baffling and unnecessary.

michael buble· bubly· electrolytes· potassium chloride· masks

2:50:09 I'm listening to the, you know we got MAGA everywhere here. This is this is MAGA country what are you drinking? Oh well listen not gonna get this anymore This is Boublé. Michael Boublé? That's what you think, but it's B-U-B-L-Y with a bubble in the top with one... But he promotes that stuff! He does ads for Boublé. Here's why I'm not buying it anymore It says unfiltered sparkling water with electrolytes! Does have aspartame as well No just electrolytes. Check this out. It has calcium chloride and

2:50:45 potassium chloride which are two salts and put you know potassium chloride something that has people some some people have issues with and it supposedly adds some taste but I'd rather buy mineral water which is natural or just plain seltzer. i don't want electrolytes in my drink no, I agree it's no good um where was I oh Bobby the K so here in MAGA country We talk, we listen. We talk to people and that people are you know they DeSantis is out there's no quick question yes so I go to Costco I go to especially some place like Monterey Foods or some crunchy places and it's like Monterey foods maybe 30% people still wearing masks Costco at least one in ten

2:51:40 Like are they gonna go the rest of their lives wearing these stupid masks? I guess. What do you got there, you got anybody wearing these masks at the Costco? No we don't have Costco here and we have HEB if you see anything sometimes a Mexican person you might see them with a mask They're gonna rob the place. Wow! I'm sorry, that's just the first thing that comes to mind is a good gag. Set me up with it. They're casing the joint No we love our Mexicans here so no but this is this is MAGA country

CHAPTER 52 / 56 Discussion

RFK Jr. and the Republican Voter Base

The hosts discuss the political landscape where Ron DeSantis is losing support from major donors like Ken Griffin and the Murdoch family. They recount a story of Democratic voters being shocked to learn that RFK Jr. is a Democrat, as his rhetoric often appeals to the right. They suggest an "op" is underway to move MAGA voters toward Kennedy.

rfk jr· donald trump· ron desantis· ken griffin· murdoch

2:52:27 What do you call it? Moms for Liberty Country. This is people who don't mess around, they love Trump, Trump's getting a raw deal now. DeSantis no good! It was a little bit of DeSantis for a moment there that went away... You bring up Bobby Decay and they are taking note but right now the only thing- There's two things, there's two pushbacks one is he wants to jail all people who are anti climate change Yeah, but that's kind of been debunked now. It is debunkable there all the stuff is going to come out it's gonna be misinformation misdirection that can be debunked I had a here's an interesting one you want me if you don't mind my interrupting interject I'm at dinner and I've got

2:53:14 by yourself? Jay and Brennan are seated. And I bring up, they're all in on all the Democrats stuff it's unbelievable especially since they came from your loins and all the trans stuff there all in on No no disown them! So just material here you nuts? You're right so what am I thinking Bobby Kennedy and I said they go all in a guy's a crackpot did the whole thing just that all the stuff that you're supposed to say yeah, I said facts denier And they're gonna. They're gonna go no they don't say that but they say it besides that Trump's gonna get the nomination Oh, they think he's a Republican. I said what I said you think is a Republican RfK Yeah, they both in agreement yeah, oh yeah Wow

2:54:07 And then I said, are you two nuts? He's a Kennedy for one thing. He's a Democrat he's been born and raised that he is part of the Democrat monarchy! Are you kidding me?! He's Democrat royalty Yeah and so they both pull out their phones Both of them at the same time. They got their phones out and now they're looking it up. Google, google! Almost simultaneously their jaws dropped No way He is a democrat Wow That's a great story It was like holy mackerel this is an interesting op This is a great op So that's working very well

2:54:53 Yeah, it's working great. Who's ever run in this one? Good work buddy or gal! If Trump becomes president again Bobby the K for Attorney General Ah well yeah that'd be funny but that would not be... The op would be to have the Republicans vote for him Well, that's what the op is. Is to get the Republicans who like Trump like you're Fredericksburg people To take at least a look at Kennedy and then as time goes by it's gonna be... The way it works is that you very slowly change them when they mainstream When the mainstream turns the other way, which they will... Well hold on. So here's the news. DeSantis we're now having Ken Griffin he's the billionaire one of the backers He is quote reconsidering his support for de Santis Murdoch has is now on record as saying yeah Ronnie's not doing so well out in the field These guys if they start backing Bobby Decay op is on

2:55:58 So it would really only take a small percentage of the MAGA people to turn and go to Bobby. The K. But anyway, the other objection is if I were advising Kennedy he'd have to work on this... The only other objection I hear is yeah you know Kennedy he's a globalist Yes, this comes up in the conversation. Then I think he might be yeah of course he is Hello It's all kinds of problematic stuff with him Absolutely and I said problematic it's okay that word doesn't bother me as much as it bothers you. It's a good filler I just want to do

CHAPTER 53 / 56 Discussion

UPS Strike Threat and Inflation Reality

A "boots on the ground" report from a UPS driver suggests that supervisors are being sent to driving school in preparation for a potential strike that could cripple 15% of the U.S. GDP. The hosts argue that despite media claims of falling inflation, the economic reality for average people remains dire. They urge listeners to focus on local school boards and city councils rather than the "psyop" of the presidency.

ups· strike· inflation· gdp· local government

2:56:45 Two quick boots on the ground reports. We have a full-time driver for UPS, anonymous of course Been with the company for five years now UPS I think they deliver something like 15% of our entire GDP UPS is a big deal if they go on strike and we've been talking about this but the news has dropped it because you know coke baggie Yesterday, Friday our part-time supervisors on any shift and full time supervisors were told to get Department of Transportation cards. Any supervisor full or part time that hasn't driven before is getting orders to go to driving school they are planning says the rumor are if part and full time union employees strike the pilots and feeder drivers are striking too. Fantasies of strike are becoming a reality

2:57:33 There's a lot more to this note, but I did just want to point out that it seems like that could actually happen. That could cripple a lot! So that may be necessary to make sure Biden doesn't run again? It may actually be unnecessary evil we're all going to have to suffer through... Good one Yeah, good one. And then something that you know I've been because there has been talk I should mention there has been talked positive talk about all the inflation's rate is down to 3% which of course on top everything else 3%. And you know they did it one guy literally said on one of them I think it was on a PBS or an NPR show he said that is ruining the Republicans talking points

2:58:16 this inflation thing. So they're gonna have to do something, the fact that people are so broke they can't even donate to the show tells me inflation is real and there's a real problem with the economy but yeah if if the media goes away for the media you know decides to pull the rug on that oh everything's great because they'll make it real they'll make it truth And well, it's interesting. Meanwhile if you're in the United States of America may I humbly submit that you take a look at your school board your city council and focus on that because the president of the United States is not emperor is not king and doesn't control everything That's the real psyop here Your local government your governor these are things that are important Not the president which should just being psyoped into talking about for the next year-and-a-half Tired of it

CHAPTER 54 / 56 Discussion

National Heat Wave and NPR Coverage

NPR reports on extreme temperatures across the Southwest, with Death Valley potentially reaching 134 degrees. Public health officials warn of the dangers of elevated core temperatures and the impact on brain function. The hosts mock the constant "hounding" of climate change information and the warnings that even physically fit people are at risk during the heat wave.

death valley· npr· heat wave· california· fossil fuels

2:59:11 And I might have a heat report. Heat report? All right, let me see where's your heat report... Oh you have quite the report actually! You want to do all this? Yeah they're short though, short. Alright cool alright um What's what's the heat report NPR? Here we go. Temperatures in parts of the southwest are expected to top 120 degrees Fahrenheit this weekend There's even a chance if forecasts are accurate that Death Valley which currently holds the record for the hottest air temperature ever recorded on planet Earth at 134 degrees Could see that record matched or broken Wow I mean, just how dangerous is this? It's extremely dangerous for people and wildlife. A study published last week estimates that more than 61000 people died during heat waves in Europe last year and we're looking at similar temperatures there right now in the US. Public health officials are warning people to limit activity outdoors and a check up on neighbors especially elderly people folks with pre-existing conditions and people that live in low income areas who might not have access to AC or even shade

3:00:15 Here's the director of California Department of Public Health, Dr. Tomas Aragon at a press briefing yesterday. The symptoms that we become more concerned about is when your internal core temperature starts becoming elevated so you may develop a fever it could be impacting any organ but the organ that we become most concerned about is when it starts impacting your brain Oh my goodness, they're so happy in Holland. The kids are back and it's beautiful here! Nothing like Texas but it's nice. They got 85-90 degrees? Well they're alive their brain has not been affected yet. But they haven't been listening to NPR enough... Well no of course not I shield them from that unlike whatever you did your kids You let it seep in

3:01:07 peer groups. I can't do anything about it here we go with Heat Report 2 so that's when a person's judgment could be compromised so they might not even recognize that they're in a dangerous situation i'm confused take the steps they need to buy down i should add here too scott that public health officials warn this applies to everyone you know california looked at deaths associated with a heat wave in this state last year and found that many of the people who died were younger latinos who are working outdoors or even physically fit people who just did their regular exercise routines like going for hikes or runs. Do they warn anyone in California but with this type of heat that you probably shouldn't wear a mask outside because that could impair your breathing?

3:01:52 That has never cropped up in a conversation. I think it's an important point people should know this! I'm not gonna argue, you're right let's go with Heat Report 3 So average temperatures on the planet have already increased nearly 2 degrees Fahrenheit since we started the industrial revolution which is when we really started adding CO2 into the atmosphere and when average temperatures go up the highs become higher as were seeing right now The last 8 years were the hottest years on record for the planet This is pissing me off. How much can you get over and over they keep hounding us with this information? Let's go to part four Preliminary data shows that the first week of this month of July was the hottest the world has seen in thousands, if not tens of thousands of years. And all these records are expected to continue to be broken as we continue to release more fossil fuel emissions into the atmosphere." That's NPR's Nate Roth. Thanks! Yeah yeah no I got it. You have a kicker? I have a kicker. Oh brother you're gonna kick me in the ass with this stuff

3:02:54 By the way, 10 000 years hottest ever. Cal heat wave kicker! Much of the San Francisco Bay Area is under an excessive heat warning this weekend temperatures in some cities are forecast to reach 106 degrees for member station KQED Azul Dahlstrom Ekman has more county officials throughout the bay area are opening cooling centers and directing people to limit outdoor activities Dial Hong is a meteorologist with the National Weather Service. He says while many are accustomed to the heat, it's important to look out for the most vulnerable in these situations.

3:03:34 anyone else who might the masks have a elevated risk of heat related illness. The region is expected to see cooling by Wednesday, the heat wave is affecting much of California luckily the state's power grid says it has adequate reserves to keep the power on whether we ever have a power reserve report The last time that was, was when Gray Davis was the governor. I'm not going to let you get away with this Dvorak because if you're gonna do this i have to play my three clips My heat related clips and these are all of John Kerry watermelon head himself our climate czar former presidential candidate is he still a senator?

CHAPTER 55 / 56 Discussion

John Kerry Questioned on CO2 Levels

Climate Czar John Kerry is grilled by Representative Scott Perry regarding the "correct" amount of CO2 in the atmosphere. Perry points out that for millions of years, CO2 levels were significantly higher than they are today and that current temperatures have actually trended downward since 2015. Perry accuses Kerry and other world leaders of "grifting" off the climate movement.

john kerry· scott perry· co2· paris climate conference· net zero

3:04:26 He's nothing now, he's a nutnick. No no he's the Czar or something. Climate czar being ripped a new Orphus by Scott Perry representative Scott Perry then it was just enjoyable to see this douche knuckle squirm let's start off with um let me see what is number one here the clip number one is concerning the amount of CO2. Secretary in 2015 at the Paris climate conference you said that if all industrial nations go to zero emissions it wouldn't be enough and then at The White House's Climate Day in January of 21, you said almost 90% of the planet's emissions come from outside the US we could go to zero tomorrow and the problem isn't solved

3:05:17 21, you told the Washington Post that even the U.S and China going to zero emissions tomorrow won't solve the climate's problem Then in April of 21 You said that global net-zero is not enough and that CO2 must be removed from the atmosphere How much is the correct amount of CO2? Let me explain it if I can so you understand exactly what I said It's close, but it's not quite exactly what I was saying. Can you just tell me what the correct amount is? Let me tell you what I'm saying. Here's how it works... Because we have put-I forget the exact number of tons millions of tons of CO2 and other greenhouse gases are now in the atmosphere they're there and every day were adding more And so everyday the heat is going up and we have to figure out how we're gonna tame the monster here

3:06:10 The only way to do that is to reduce emissions on an ongoing basis. To get control on the current level of emissions that we have created but what is then But actually suck sir with all due respect you've been through this before. What is the correct amount? I don't want to spend a bunch of time about a history lesson about things Then people don't care about no, of course he had no correct amount this. I love this one What is the correct temperature for the earth's what does it correct amount of co2 there's no answer from these douches Let's blame it on the humans though. What changes every day? I don't, I can't tell you exactly what is- The correct amount change? Yes it does So Secretary you probably know that for approximately 200 million years What's the parts per million now about 400 right can we agree over four hundred all right so about 400 million years 2,000 parts per million did mother nature get it wrong for 200 million years here's the difference Congressman

3:07:07 The difference is, yes. There were periods which all scientists who deal with climate acknowledge that there have been moments on the planet which is billions of years old in which there were greater heat and there was greater... Tell me the difference quickly! I've got a limited amount of time. The difference is human beings are created. That's the difference. So human beings are all humans? We're 100 thousand years old but during these periods of time where it was 2 thousand parts-per-million Life existed. As a matter of fact, we're in one of the lowest periods... Not human beings walking around. No! We're in one of the lowest periods of carbon in the atmosphere and not only recorded history but in the history of life existing on the planet In December 2022 you told The Washington Post that we need to remove 1.6 trillion tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere via direct air capture The cost for that is about $1,000 per ton or

3:08:04 quadrillion dollars. Now, you said you didn't know but since 2015 since the last El Nino about 500 billion tons have been emitted into the atmosphere during that same period of time 2015 if you look at the temperature graph This is from NOAA. The temperature has gone down. Show the next slide, this is from NASA satellite data Temperature has gone down So he's just gonna hound them on the 1.6 quadrillion dollars You want to have the American taxpayers my constituents that are having a hard time afford their groceries pay for car buy a new home spend one point six quadrillion dollars

3:08:44 to fix a problem that A, doesn't exist and as a matter of fact U might be exacerbating because it's unknown. It is unknown at this time the low level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere that might actually destroy life Because plant life all depends As you know Secretary Plant life all depends on CO2 And when we kill it then were done too I yield the balance. Congressman, let me just say that uh... i don't agree with what you're saying out there for any number of reasons and i don't have time to go into all of them but i'll just tell you point blank that the difference between the periods your looking at in terms of heat etcetera and human input is night-and-day number one. Number two why do you think a hundred ninety five countries in the world

3:09:34 They're prime ministers, they're presidents. Because they are grifting like you are sir! Yeah! That's a pretty shocking statement that you believe all the scientists in the world... Who is this guy? This is Representative Scott Perry Let's hear that one again. They're prime ministers, they're presidents because their grifting like you are sir Oh, oh! Ooh fightin' words. You believe that all the scientists in the world are great scientists? All of them?! Not all scientists agree with you Mr. Secretary 98% of all the scientists in the world... 98% Science isn't about agreement it's not about consensus you know that. Chair now recognizes Mr. Phyllis McCormick Well that was an excellent clip That was a good guy right I liked him Yeah we have to follow him Get on his mailing list

3:12:12 And all my wasted life on DuckDuckGo I shunned YouTube and watched my stuff on Vimeo Yes, it's tomorrow Well if Faceback sank tomorrow You know i'd feel a little sorrow But we'd all be better off If It Would Go And now it's only fair that I should let you know what you should know. I can't live living without you, though. I can't be...I can't anymore!

3:13:23 Bing, by the way does work. You don't need Google necessarily The one you can't live without and I've written about this too is Amazon It's the night of December 2019, The IG report drops any minute. There is so much excitement! Unseal the indictments Can't wait to see Hillary in prison

3:14:14 Then the IG report dropped suddenly And I scrolled through to see what it shows It says Russiagate was all A-OK And I'm left here sucking a joke Bilbao, bar, bar, barber Bilbao, the return, yum yum String us along, Mr. QAnon man String us along forever String us along for eternity So we never rise up altogether

3:15:15 Now John Brennan may be above the law And Clapper may always run free But we still might give a cave and we'll all be good slaves Because QAnon will always be There to tell us it's all okay Just shut up and trust the plan One day the whole swamp will be drained Just trust Mr. QAnon, QAnon Nom nom nom The prize of just getting strung along

3:16:01 String us along, Mr. QAnon Man Just tell us who I'll trust to plan Because otherwise we might all resist And take things into our own hands The best podcast in the universe! Oh f- Dvorak dot org slash N A I think they're fantastic.
