About this episode

Mexico held its first public congressional hearing on unidentified anomalous phenomena this week, where researcher Jaime Maussan presented two alleged non-human mummified remains. The specimens, purportedly recovered in Peru and dated at over 700 years old, were unveiled just as NASA prepared its own UAP report. This spectacle coincides with a massive infrastructure failure in Libya, where the collapse of two dams in Derna resulted in nearly 20,000 deaths despite media attempts to pivot the narrative toward climate change.

In Washington, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer hosted tech titans Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Bill Gates for a private AI Insight Forum to discuss federal regulation and deepfake watermarking. Meanwhile, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the Biden administration likely coerced social media platforms into censorship, violating the First Amendment. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm faced scrutiny after her electric vehicle road trip was marred by charging shortages, and New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham sparked a constitutional debate by issuing an emergency order banning firearm carry in Albuquerque. Medical liability is also surfacing as a major trend, with detransitioners filing negligence lawsuits against hospitals in Canada and Minnesota.

From the sudden ubiquity of burrata cheese on Rachel Ray cooking shows to the "Mother Nature" skit at the iPhone 15 launch, the cultural landscape remains as curated as ever. Former Secret Service agent Paul Landis has come forward to challenge the JFK magic bullet theory, while SAG-AFTRA President Fran Drescher makes a surprising stand for body sovereignty against vaccine mandates. This 1600th episode milestone features a musical breakdown of the week's media deconstruction by Tommy Gufano and Sir TJ the Wrathful.

Burrata Cheese, Smoked Paprika, Rachel Ray Cooking Shows

A discussion regarding the sudden ubiquity of burrata cheese in culinary media leads to a comparison with the rise of smoked paprika. The popularity of these ingredients is attributed to television cooking shows, specifically those hosted by Rachel Ray. The conversation notes how media trends often originate in niche spaces before being adopted by mainstream outlets.

00:00 Grab her and throw her in the camp. Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak. It's Thursday September 14th 2023 this is your award-winning KIPPWA Nation Media Assassination Episode 1590 This is no agenda Fossilized mummified and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region number 6 In the morning everybody I'm Adam Curry And from Northern Silicon Valley where we're all wondering when did burrata cheese become a thing? It's Crackpot and Buzzkill! In the morning.

00:45 Yeah, Italy etc. Burrata cheese yeah! It's been everywhere... Italy and everywhere. Italy and Holland and France? Spain has always had burrata. I never heard of it until two years ago You'd never heard of burrata until two years ago you John C Dvorak wine connoisseur and foodie to the stars I mean, it may have passed my way but it never was a thing. Whether using it left and right on every cooking show on TV... Oh! I see you watch some television don't do that It's not good for your health You should not oh on cooking shows okay? I gotcha

01:37 You know another one that reminds me of another when they took off like a rocket. Yes smoked paprika No, no what's the other? No there's something No smoke paprika became a big thing and yeah I know exactly where it came from Okay that one I did catch the Genesis all right What's been around for smoked paprika is not a new invention but again it became a thing Rachel Ray Okay, cooking shows. Yeah, cooking shows. Should popularize that. Well it's like... Cooking shows like podcasts whatever we do on our podcast here shows up on Talker, it shows up all over the place I mean everyone- who else was telling me? Like they're always taking our stuff! That's how it goes Of course they are thats what you were leaders We are leaders! The distraction of the week On No Wood's agenda

Mexico UFO Hearing, Jaime Maussan, NASA UAP Report

Mexico held its first public congressional hearing on unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs) featuring the display of two alleged non-human mummified remains. Researcher Jaime Maussan presented the specimens, claiming they were recovered in Peru and are over 700 years old. Skepticism is expressed regarding the timing of the hearing, which coincides with an anticipated NASA report on UAPs and legislative efforts regarding aerial space protection laws.

mexico· ufo· uap· jaime maussan· nasa· extraterrestrial

02:31 That's right everybody, as if your world wasn't crazy enough. As if you weren't spun up in this nutty world! Of course we've got to distract you and get y'all jacked up about this! Well tomorrow NASA is set to release the findings of a heavily anticipated report on unidentified anomalous phenomena, also known as UAPs. Now it comes as Mexico holds its first ever hearing on UFO's with scientists putting on display what they claim are the remains of two extraterrestrials. News Nation's Joe Khalil joins us live with these developments. I just love that News Nation leads everything this is the same news nation that had the so-called whistleblower

03:14 you know, for an exclusive interview. News Nation has... they found their niche! Their niche is bullcrap stories about aliens. They really nailed it this time I have a clip. No you don't! It came from elsewhere, this actually came from NTD so i was giving him more credit Oh well not just credit we'll give him a jingle This is N T D This is the actual aliens Mexico story Mexico could become the first country to speak about the presence of aliens on earth in a government document Lawmakers considered evidence today including small corpses that one researcher calls non-human. According to organizers, these two mummified stuffed bodies were recovered in 2017 in Peru They are reportedly 700 and 1800 years old respectively with only three fingers on each hand and elongated heads The lead researchers said the DNA testing shows many differences from humans

04:13 He sees them as clear evidence of aliens, but has previously been refuted by other scientists for some of his related stances. This all happened at Mexico's first public congressional hearing on the proposed aerial space protection law. So they also have a military industrial complex that needs money? That's what this was about when we'd had the hearings couple weeks ago Oh, we need money in case the aliens come. So they have that too right at the end! They said it! That's what it is. You need money and the aliens are coming. Space Force. They came 17 thousand years ago to be here any minute. They should send a DNA to 23andMe see how many politicians are related to it because I'm sure... This all happened at Mexico's first public congressional hearing on the proposed Aerial Space Protection Law. Aerial Space Protection Law. Money!

05:05 You know, Ukraine is petering out. We haven't gotten Taiwan going yet." Yeah let's get some aliens in there we can get some space technology going people. Satellites! This is a... I mean does anyone believe this at this point? I mean I think the shark has been jumped with this one to coin a phrase Did you see the picture going around it? One of uh Diane Feinstein? I saw that. I couldn't stop laughing the other one is actually younger than Dianne Feinstein so it's too bad because well, maybe it was purposeful but it certainly covers up the Apple event man III can't believe I watched it But I did and I and I hope you didn't have to avoid it. I have a report I Have a quick boots on the ground report. I watched the Apple event of the new iPhone and then knew either boot I'm the boot yeah, I'm the boot. I watched it. I watch them watch the whole thing

CHAPTER 03 / 47 Discussion

Apple Event 2023, iPhone 15, Mother Nature Skit

The 2023 Apple product launch event featured the iPhone 15 and new Apple Watch models, emphasizing health-saving testimonials and "gorgeous" design. A significant portion of the presentation included a "Mother Nature" skit starring Octavia Spencer to highlight Apple's environmental and carbon-neutral goals. Observations are made regarding the physical mannerisms of Apple executives and the high price points of the new hardware.

06:06 So first of all, just so you know John everything every single thing is gorgeous. This is the key word you got to use with iPhone now it's gorgeous! Just an iPhone? It's gorgeous! It's a watch its gorgeous! So they start this thing off with the Apple Watch I mean I'm not gonna play any clips or anything but they started off with eight testimonials of people who almost died I almost died because of a heart attack, almost died because had AFib. Almost died because had low blood pressure. Almost died because uh... i was hiking and i was stuck almost died because i was in the crash and i was unconscious. Oh that's interesting! Almost died because my EV ran out of battery on the Texas highway but the Apple Watch saved me That's how they started the whole thing off. That's good bit Yeah it is like.. They're telling you without this you could be dead

07:07 Without the Apple Watch you might be dead. Not a single time! Well they've done a pretty good job of convincing people to have to carry a phone with them all the time. Well now if you get the cellular Apple watch, you don't need a phone it's got everything in there oh yeah you can just double tap with your fingers and you don't even have to touch the phone anymore because now it's tracking your body movements is fantastic I have had a non-charging watch for 34 years It's gorgeous Gorgeous! And it works just great. It has never saved my life that I know of, but... You may have. It could probably stop a bullet the Apple Watch probably can't. Something else i noticed 90% of all men that work at Apple are bowlegged this is very very interesting phenomena it starts with Tim Cook he's bow-legged half these guys no more than ninety percent these guys are bow legged

08:01 And the women, wow man very wearing very unattractive skirts with you know gym shoes. Runners. If we were producing this it would be very different Well I sure never noticed a bowlegged thing now that you point it out Yeah! I probably won't be able to take my eyes away from it They're all bow-legged Now location on your iPhone is even more precise You wonder what they're straddling so much that they got bowlegged Hey oh So now when you're looking for your friends in the farmer's market, which is hilarious. They are all there in the farmers market. Hey do they have any apples? Hold on let me turn on noise cancelling what?! Do they have any apples of course they have apples it's the farmers market here I'll drop a pin come find me! Precision finding now for even better drone targeting yeah and stalking and then they had this whole mother nature skit

08:56 But you did watch the whole thing. Oh yeah, did you see that thing? I didn't see any of it! I avoided it...I knew what the products were there's nothing new what's the point Yeah they had a Octavia Spencer not a cheap get for this played mother nature in the most woke thing I've ever seen where Apple is gonna get rid of all carbon everywhere everything we do there's no carbon And you know, it was... Shark Jump just like the aliens. So it's alright there is still a $1200 phone yay! It was very very exactly that's pretty much it blow your nose on it It was just nuts and a lot of interesting things happening in the world outside

CHAPTER 04 / 47 Discussion

Libya Dam Collapse, Derna Floods, Climate Change Narrative

Historic flooding in Libya caused two major dams to collapse, resulting in an estimated death toll of 18,000 to 20,000 people in the city of Derna. While media reports frequently attribute the disaster to climate change, the discussion focuses on the lack of dam maintenance as the primary cause. The tragedy is framed as an example of how infrastructure failure is often secondary to environmental narratives in modern reporting.

libya· derna· dam collapse· floods· climate change· infrastructure

09:54 you know, 10 000 people dying in Libya because of dams breaking. 20. Dam's breaking which means it'll be 30. I mean climate change That's here, I got a clip here from... Yeah two dams bust. No but it's climate change. The mayor of a flood ravaged city along the Mediterranean Sea in Libya said today 18 to 20 thousand people could be dead in the wake of Monday's historic floods drone video shows the widespread damage after 2 major dams collapsed when 16 inches of rain drenched parts of the region on Sunday entire neighborhoods were destroyed leaving tens of thousands without homes

10:35 Yeah, now this didn't include the climate change moniker because that did show up pretty much everywhere else. But it's dams and when we learn that dams need to be maintained... Dams? Dykes? You got to maintain them! It's like they're just doing it to get climate change I don't think anyone cares about people anymore their own energy secretary... That has been your theory for a while yeah my own... People are very expendable or as they would say fungible people are fungible Even though this happened in July, for some reason now our energy secretary Granholm with the saucers on the side of her head those huge ears she has and she's been on a road trip an EV road trip.

CHAPTER 05 / 47 Discussion

Jennifer Granholm EV Road Trip, Charging Station Shortage

Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm encountered logistical difficulties during an electric vehicle road trip from North Carolina to Tennessee. A staffer reportedly used a gasoline-powered vehicle to reserve a charging spot, leading a family with a baby to call the police. The incident highlights the current limitations of the U.S. electric vehicle charging infrastructure despite administration pushes for expansion.

jennifer granholm· electric vehicles· ev charging· department of energy· npr

11:20 and she ran into, it's like I don't know exactly what popped this story or why it happened but here is the gist of it. Alright get a load of this one energy secretary Jennifer Granholm electric vehicle road trip. New energy secretary she has been there for a bit! Running into trouble while trying to tout the administration's green push Fox Business' Grady Trimble joins us live so Grady this got so bad that they had to call the police. Is that right? That is right, Brian! A staffer apparently tried to hold the only available electric vehicle charger for the energy secretary by parking a gas-powered vehicle in the spot. That is according to NPR.

12:01 A couple with a baby wanted to use the same charger, so the reporter who was tagging along on the trip says that young family called the cops on the staffer. The staffer wasn't breaking any laws though, so nothing came of that call to police. But Secretary Granholm's road trip from North Carolina to Tennessee back in June highlights just how difficult it is to find electric vehicle charging stations and drive EVs long distance I think it's actually a planted story. You think? No, but I mean a planted story because someone is going to come up with some plans some bill has to be passed i think the alien story interrupted it you know that we need more charging infrastructure Biden may be due for...I said in the newsletter Biden is overdue for a speech where he's they jack him up because he hasn't been given the juice for probably a month maybe longer

12:55 And so he's staggering around the world, you know barely able to talk. And he keeps pushing the idea of a 500 thousand charging stations. Yeah and so maybe it's got something to do with that I did get a clip of somebody put together...I would like to make this a longer clip and i think i can do it of Biden when he is jacked up when they give him the juice Are you moving away from climate change all of a sudden? You're hijacking my segment No, it was... no that's a better word for than hijack. What was I used to? Usurp! No i forgot Clip crash It was something like that I'll get you to Biden in the moment The most uninteresting man on the world Not when he is jacked up

CHAPTER 06 / 47 Discussion

Ursula von der Leyen, European Green Deal, Clean Steel

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen delivered the State of the European Union address, emphasizing the "reality of a boiling planet" and the success of the European Green Deal. She claimed the EU has grown from zero to 38 "clean steel" factories. The technical validity of "clean steel" is questioned, suggesting it refers primarily to recycled scrap iron rather than a fundamental shift in smelting technology.

ursula von der leyen· european union· green deal· clean steel· hydrogen

13:43 I think Queen Ursula is more interesting. But back to climate change? Yes, back to climate change! We'll get back...I'l swing it to you and the most uninteresting man in the world after we get to the queen. I have no clips on climate change. I only have two. Here's Queen Ursula. She did the state of... Oh, that's how I should have transitioned. Speaking of Biden State Of The Union here is Queen Ursula's State Of The European Union a little clip about climate change Honorable members four years ago the European Green Deal was our answer to the call of history and this summer the hottest ever on record in Europe was a stark reminder of that

14:27 Greece and Spain were struck by ravaging wildfires, and were hit again only a few weeks later by devastating floods. And we saw the chaos and carnage of extreme weather from Slovenia to Bulgaria right across our Union This is the reality of a boiling planet. Oh, please! The reali... Shh! Don't you dare speak against Queen Ursula this is the reality She's more boring than Biden I will say A boiling planet! The European Green Deal was born out of this necessity to protect our planet but it was also designed as an opportunity

15:13 to preserve our future prosperity. We started this mandate by setting long-term perspective with the climate law and the 2050 goals, we shifted the climate agenda to being an economic one – and this has given clear sense of direction for investment and innovation And we have already seen this growth strategy delivering in the short term. Europe's industry is showing every single day that it is ready to power this transition. It's ready! Proving that modernisation and decarbonisation can go hand-in-hand In the last five years, the number of clean steel factories in the European Union has grown from zero

16:00 to 38. We're now attracting more investment in clean hydrogen than the United States and China together." Okay, so this is where I need your expertise because when she says we went from zero to thirty-eight clean steel factories... Clean Steel! And then right after that she says we're at more advanced with clean hydrogene than America and China put together? I ask you Are they making steel with hydrogen now? What is clean... I've never heard of such a thing. What is clean steel? Well, I have an answer! Well then why are you asking me?! To see if you had an answer because you've never heard of such a thing and correct because it's bull crap here's how clean steel was made You think somehow they've taken hydrogen I'm sorry clean hydrogene And they can make it all hot enough to produce steel No no

17:00 Producing clean steel begins in the scrapyard. Scrap with limited amounts of certain elements such as copper, tin, sulfur and phosphorus will yield cleaner steels! The alloys used in clean steel production also need tight quality controls regarding the chemistry and residual elements." So they're taking scrap steel and then putting it... melting it into new steel and calling it clean So this scrap is basically scrap iron recycled? Yes, recycled. Yes, recycled scrap iron. Yeah I don't think I want to go across a bridge that has made of this clean steel. It should be fine. Should be fine!

17:50 play it up that way. We're so, we've given up...we don't make steel anymore now this is an excuse? And what are the 38 facilities? Are they just people in their backyards with a smelter or I mean what's going on here? It's like China in the 40s. Yes exactly! The great leap forward exactly people making steel and there in their yards. It could be scrapyard scrap metal into clean steel yeah could be all right Here's where we're, where we are mistaken. There is so much money in climate change We're not mistaken! We've known this all along Well, we're mistaken by doing this podcast instead of... Oh yeah well we should do a climate change podcast Instead of producing wonderful 20-minute videos which I'm going to play a minute because here's where the big money is baby

IPCC Report, BetterHelp Podcast Advertising, Mental Health

A climate change video citing the latest IPCC report claims the planet has passed the point of no return for a 1.5-degree Celsius temperature rise. The video transitions into a paid partnership with BetterHelp, prompting a discussion on the massive scale of mental health service advertising in the podcast industry. BetterHelp reportedly spent nine million dollars on podcast ads in a single month.

ipcc· climate change· betterhelp· podcast advertising· mental health

18:43 According to the latest IPCC report, we are past the point of no return for 1.5 degrees Celsius and will need to make rapid fundamental changes to our society this decade to stop it going any further than that. Now just remember you and I could do a much better job producing this video but wait for it... This will be hard There's no way we as a species will be able to achieve this hard path unless we can agree on the facts that underpin it though. Without the broader context of agreed upon data, it will forever be perfectly possible to arrive at a wide range of conclusions and different paths we should take. That is why when it comes to any discussion, context is so important! By looking at the pattern of our planet's history, we see that the current uptick in global temperatures is an induced event that doesn't match already existing patterns

19:39 and it perfectly coincides with human activity. Debate what you want to do with that information, and the best path to take in light of it but these are the facts set in ice on the bones organisms long dead they will brook no argument Dealing with all the crises that the world seems to throw at your daily can get a little overwhelming sometimes is important to take care of yourself That's why todays video is in paid partnership with BetterHelp Mental health is a cause that is deeply important to me. It's corrupt. We can't bring ourselves to being that corrupt, that was just pure corruption Of course it is corruption! Better help The number one advertiser last month on podcasts I'll have you know No Yeah

CHAPTER 09 / 47 Discussion

Missouri v. Biden, Fifth Circuit Court, Social Media Censorship

The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld an injunction in the Missouri v. Biden case, ruling that the White House and federal agencies likely coerced social media platforms into censoring content. The court described the administration's actions as a "coordinated campaign" that jeopardized the First Amendment. The discussion touches on the migration of users to alternative platforms like Blue Sky, Threads, and Mastodon following changes at Twitter.

missouri v. biden· fifth circuit· first amendment· censorship· white house

31:29 He hasn't changed anything over there. I don't see my numbers changing any which way, but I see a lot of other people that are more or less on the right they don't see anything changing and I ran into a number of threads the other day that were so left-leaning in fact it was like the American Socialist Democrats have so many people on their end they're loading up with anti-American memes and everything in between It's like, this is unfounded. This hatred. You know one of our producers a lawyer in Texas sent me the Fifth Circuit opinion about how the Biden administration coerced and threatened social media which is exactly what the Twitter files were about not that this is going to be resolved anytime but he did highlight a few things for me

32:27 Which I think are in this is from the fifth. This is the Missouri case you're talking about? Yeah, yeah So this is the Fifth Circuit of Louisiana Missouri versus Biden I think it's a name of the case The Fifth Circuit on Friday largely upheld a Louisiana federal judge's order blocking White House staffers and some federal agencies from working with social media companies to combat disinformation, holding that some federal officials likely quote coerced social media platforms into censoring certain content in violation of the First Amendment. Specifically it said the White House working with the Office of the Surgeon General

33:04 coerced the platforms to make their moderation decisions by way of intimidating messages and threats of adverse consequences. The White House and Surgeon General also significantly encouraged the platform's decisions, by commandeering their decision-making process. The FBI and CDC appeared to have engaged in similar conduct." We do not take our decision lightly, but the U.S. Supreme Court has rarely been faced with a coordinated campaign of this magnitude orchestrated by federal officials that jeopardized a functional aspect of American life." Therefore the district court was correct in its assessment. But more importantly officials expressed and implicitly threatened to retaliate if the companies didn't take action

33:48 And that alone should be enough to find coercion. They made express threats, inflammatory accusations such as saying the platforms were poisoning the public and killing people." We know the poisoning part's true Yeah, right. The judge signed off on the injunction a rare and lengthy order issued on the 4th of July federal holiday in particular the judge said the federal government's attempt to suppress alleged different disinformation particularly about the pandemic and here it is arguably involves the most massive attack on free speech in United States history

34:31 This will go to the Supreme Court, it'll get kicked back. It'll go on for years. Ivermectin! You know, obviously this is not something that Savannah Guthrie will discuss. No no but it's your... But you know it's like disinformation! They don't have the back door anymore they're no longer being promoted being boosted on the platform they all left in a huff I'm going to Macedon sucks and then at Macedon they couldn't quote tweet it sucks And they went to... what's the other thing? Blue, blue bird. Come on! What's that other thing called? The new Twitter... Drupal X No no that's the other Dorsey thing

35:22 Blue Sky. I'm going to Blue Sky! Have you... Did i send you an invite to blue sky? You've gotta see it No, you didn't. I feel slighted It's the trans Maoist social network Oh god, I can imagine Amazing So and then Threads! I'm gonna be on threads This is the place to be so much better than X So social media is broken and that's called blue sky. Blue sky Yeah, I thought I would I thought they were going to gab or whatever happened to gab Hello 2010 There was another one it was another one besides gab that was a big getter get her get her get her get her and What else was there get her? There's a couple other ones compu serve It

36:09 Prodigy. Orcut, yeah. Parlor that's the one parlor. Parlay! That what I call it. Truth social this is the thing it's broken she's the M5M prostitutes know that ultimately social media is broken. Elon, he doesn't care... He's still now it's community notes and suppressing him you know Jacarino his CEO is like you can have freedom of speech but not freedom of reach! Yeah it's another word for shadow banning okay we got it and I get no traction on my tweet if someone doesn't retweet one of my tweets it goes nowhere with my 90 000 non-blue check followers

CHAPTER 11 / 47 Discussion

AI Insight Forum, Chuck Schumer, Tech CEO Meeting

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer hosted a closed-door "AI Insight Forum" featuring tech leaders including Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, and Elon Musk. The participants reportedly reached a unanimous agreement that government regulation of artificial intelligence is necessary. Critics, including Senator Elizabeth Warren, questioned why the meeting was held in private rather than as a public hearing.

chuck schumer· bill gates· mark zuckerberg· elon musk· ai regulation

38:36 He almost went broke with SolarCity. He had to fold it into Tesla. Yeah, you know SpaceX is all government money. It's all government money And I was going, you know we should probably move right into this because Elon was a part of the Titans. Elon Musk Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg were together today in one room to discuss the future of artificial intelligence both the dangers and benefits CBS's Jolynn Kent reports lawmakers are struggling to keep up with technology Oh whoa! Because it is a series of tubes that it complicated

39:16 Today, a rare show of force by tech tycoons on Capitol Hill. Tackling the growing threat of artificial intelligence to American jobs safety and according to Elon Musk our very existence. I think this meeting may go down in history as being very important for the future civilization. Musk Mark Zuckerberg Bill Gates and other top CEOs met behind closed doors with a bipartisan group of senators facing the reality that if no action is taken, AI is expected to eliminate or disrupt 300 million jobs worldwide. Musk, the richest man in the world says he told senators he's in favor of having a specific regulator for AI. It is important for us to have a referee but I think that consequences of AI going wrong are severe so we have to be proactive rather than reactive Congress is sufficiently ready to regulate AI?

40:10 No, the sequence of events will not be jumping at the deep end and making rules. Another top priority today was managing AI's rapid development Can Americans trust openAI to make AI safe? I think trust but verify. I think it is really important that government does put sensible policy in place Trust but verify Along with that safety Senators tell me another major focus was base against China. They want US tech companies to set the global standards before China does, but lawmakers also want the tech companies to develop their AI responsibly." I'm telling you that Elon Musk is going to build something he's gonna sell it to the government that'll be the regulator or will be the approved AI... This is all bull, bull, bull! Well a couple of things

41:04 One, why... I have three clips on this. This tech meeting on AI these are from a new Tang Dynasty so there's probably more objective but the thing is why was every quote from Elon Musk and the reason I asked that is because everybody was there it wasn't the way they like to say it was oh its Gates, Musk and Zuckerberg. I can answer that question Let me play a little bit of this TRT clip and it tells you why. America's technology titans were summoned to a forum with US lawmakers in Washington to discuss how to make AI safe at the meeting from which the media were excluded, the participants reached... It was no media meetings so Musk was the only one who talked to the press all the other guys are way too important that's why well I'm

CHAPTER 12 / 47 Discussion

AI Watermarking, Deepfakes, Election Integrity

During the AI forum in Washington, lawmakers discussed technical mitigations for AI risks, such as watermarking and deepfake detection. The focus of these regulations is purportedly to prevent AI from influencing future elections. The discussion expresses doubt that aging members of Congress possess the technical literacy to effectively regulate complex algorithms or "quantum watermarks."

deepfakes· watermarking· election integrity· algorithms· chuck schumer

42:04 back to the thesis, because Peshawar was there. Gates? Well no they already said they made a point of saying Zuckerberg, Gates and Musk but everybody was there. There was the Google guy who's there, head of Apple is there, everybody was there and any one of them could have been gone outside and talked to the press but they just glom onto Musk. Musk is like The Guy I think is and must throws himself into it. I think he seeks it He reminds me of Adam Osborne during the heyday of Osborne computers who take us back Osbourne once said

42:48 his staff that if anyone from the media calls me I'm taking the call. Stop everything he was so into being in front at the front guy is rushing front of you rush out there to be interviewed yes this is when Musk is doing this himself yeah well yes, he started anger thing. It came from him, he's the genesis when he got kicked out of his own organization OpenAI like this is dangerous we need to have Congress and because we gotta have rules you gotta have a referee we do trust but verify. Musk is wagging the dog so let's play tech meeting on AI one this is a little more elaborate

43:33 An unprecedented meeting on Capitol Hill today as tech tycoons like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg huddle with senators. NTD's Iris Tao joins us live from Washington, D.C.. Good evening, Iris. What did lawmakers tell us about this closed door meeting? Good evening to you. So today's meeting lasted a whole day behind closed doors and senators, including leading senators like Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer came out to talk to us right after it ended saying that they talked about variety of issues including how to increase transparency in the AI industry and how to mitigate risk associated with some AI techniques such as deep fake and what is known as watermarking and how such techniques could be used to influence things like elections

44:18 This is why Elon's talking because Elon runs elections. Don't you know that he's been the most important and most powerful man in the world? I just cut it off at that spot because she's just throwing terms out there and whatever Schumer, Schumer doesn't none of these congressmen have a clue. John, they don't know what an algorithm is so you barely can turn on a computer their secretaries do it if I may when it comes to technology reporting technology reporting the day you walked out of the Twitch studio for the last time. There's some truth to that! Yes, so she says watermarking... Watermarking okay. That's gonna influence elections. Wait that would be quantum watermarks mm-hmm oh yeah mm-hmm Yeah with a quantum dot and that way we can keep track of the ballots from space

45:18 Oh, here we go. And Schumer also told us that today the main theme is really how to through taking bipartisan actions on regulating AI have to ensure that American public can enjoy the benefits with associated with AI but also risks associated with this fast evolving technology. The benefits oh I can create a Drake song Of course, today's meeting was so significant because it really drew together all the biggest names in this industry including Elon Musk Mark Zuckerberg as well as Bill Gates and today Elon Musk in particular told the public that today's meeting was historic. He also warned about dangers of AI watch

CHAPTER 13 / 47 Discussion

AI Existential Risk, Digital Twins, Human Batteries

Elon Musk stated during his visit to Capitol Hill that there is a "above zero" chance that AI could destroy humanity. This leads to a discussion about public fears regarding "digital twins" and the concept of humans becoming "batteries" for AI systems, as popularized in science fiction. The narrative is framed as a potential distraction from more immediate economic or political issues.

elon musk· ai risk· digital twins· lara logan· existential threat

45:58 I think the consequences of AI going wrong are severe. So we have to be proactive rather than reactive. There is some chance that above zero, that AI will kill us all? I think it's low but there is some chance. Ugh! Okay... It's so bad and you know we should start our own mental health app Because the ladies and some gentlemen of Hill Country, MAGA country are so spun up over the idea that AI is already today built... Oh man you're mass bumping like crazy. I didn't bump it this time okay i'm gonna tell you what happens exactly since you keep bringing it up because we it sounds like this during the whole show!

46:47 No. Yes! And so I put my coffee cup down and then when I withdrew my arm, I have this long thing and I banged into the whole structure of the microphone Okay then you're forgiven So the ladies and gentlemen of MAGA Nation are so terrified of AI. They have been spun up to actually believe that they're already AI twins, of each individual in the world and these... Oh yeah! And there's even a documentary- Where did that one come from? There is some documentary coming out that I have to say it think is related to Laura Logan She's very good at spinning people up She also a good journalist but

47:34 The whole idea is... Oh, I like the idea of AI twins. AI twins and they already exist- Can I get them to do this show? That's it! And then eventually we'll just be their battery you know that that's how it all ends It's like you know the computer's going to take over and you hear Musk Well there's a better than zero chance that AI will destroy the world Come on! Kill us all. Come on, Musk. I'd like to know how that works. AI is more powerful than climate change Okay, well that's the question to ask him. That's what these people should do when they got him because he's out there answering questions Do you think that we're gonna get killed by climate change or AI first? Yeah who is going to win who is the first to the line Who is gonna kill us most? So several senators... Or the Chinese

48:30 You wanna, yeah well the Chinese clearly because you know there's that whole element. I think there's an element the other guys are coming in saying, well you know China, China, China, China, China, China, China, China, China, China! Give us some money. So several senators told us that they really appreciate this rare opportunity to directly listen to these leaders of the AI industry and learn more about this, but also there are some critics of today's meeting including Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren who told me that she did not understand why today's meeting was held behind closed doors. But still senators including Chuck Schumer told me that they think today's meeting was very productive and that it could help the US in its competition with China

49:14 Watch. And the fact that we can bring everybody together and come with legislation that would move things forward on both sides will help us significantly. There's not a world in which China could put their brain together, like the government of China is trying very hard on AI but the leadership in AI is in the United States of America I couldn't understand anything at the end there what was that? What were they saying? That's where I cut it off and kept going Couple of things Warren is right. Why was this a private closed-door meeting? Because it was they were divvying something up that's exactly right There's some scam going on Some money making scam and they didn't want the public to know about it This wasn't about AI as much as it was exactly what you said divvying up something yep

CHAPTER 14 / 47 Discussion

AI Regulation, China Competition, Industry Subsidies

The push for AI regulation is interpreted as a mechanism for established tech companies to secure government subsidies and protect their market share against Chinese competition. Lawmakers expressed concern that strict U.S. regulations could allow China to gain a competitive advantage. The "unanimous" call for regulation by CEOs is viewed as a request for a "referee" that favors domestic incumbents.

ai regulation· china· subsidies· nvidia· tech industry

50:10 There's no reason for this to be a closed hearing. It's not public, it's not national security there is nothing about it that says it should be a closed hearing. Elizabeth Warren nailed it! Let's listen to this TRT report and maybe find some more interesting tidbits in it. America's technology titans were summoned to a forum with US lawmakers in Washington to discuss how to make AI safe We need something like that. Technology Titans. How to make it profitable? Technology Titans, we need like podcast plebs technology titans. Podcast titans. What? Podcast titans! No it has to be something with a P

50:54 It has to be alliteration. That's why I said podcast plebs, but... Putzes! Podcast putzes! ...meeting from which the media were excluded, the participants reached a unanimous agreement that the development of artificial intelligence must be regulated. I asked everyone in the room is government needed to play a role in regulating AI and every single person raised their hands? This is very interesting what Schumer says He says, as everyone in the room this government needed and everyone's hand was raised. Does that mean they all said... That'll be the day! But does it mean they all said yes or did he just raise their hands? He didn't say if they all agreed. He says when you know what came to mind is there I've been listening to that clip

51:43 They want government regulation. Yeah, of course they do so they can... Yeah, TikTok! This is about TikTok somehow Is government needed to play a role in regulating AI and every single person raised their hands even though they had diverse views. So they weren't all in agreement, but they all raised their hands! Thanks Chuck. So that gives us a message here that we have to try and act as difficult as the process may be. Regulations are on the table... This is Dick Durbin. ...and I believe they're reality in this field it's brand new field and I think you need some guidance

52:23 Elon Musk described the meeting as historic and important for the future of civilization. This podcast is in fact important for the future of civilization Not just AI, but this podcast. And important for the future of civilization. Now the reason that I've been such an advocate for AI safety in advance of sort of anything terrible happening is that I think the consequences of AI going wrong are severe so we have to be proactive rather than reactive. The politicians now have to decide what regulation will mean in practice

53:04 But it's all very well lawmakers here agreeing that AI needs to be regulated. The problem is that other countries, most notably China are unlikely to fall into step with decisions made by the US Congress And there are fears that could mean U.S tech companies losing their competitive advantage without the world being made any safer. So this is, so I think that they threw in this China thing because obviously China's going to get state money government money and they're like oh you know it we'll call it regulation but uh yeah we need we need money! We need lots of money because it's very expensive these you know we got to buy all these chips from Nvidia and you know we need money we need money and China China China China you don't want to be behind China do you? No we need some money come to The Secret Meeting

CHAPTER 15 / 47 Discussion

IRS AI Crackdown, Millionaire Tax Debt, San Francisco Lidar Attack

The IRS is utilizing new funding to deploy AI tools aimed at identifying tax evasion patterns among high-income earners and large partnerships. While the agency claims to target 1,600 millionaires with significant debt, the discussion suggests the tools will eventually be used against small businesses and LLCs. Separately, a video from San Francisco shows a civilian attacking a Cruise self-driving taxi, specifically targeting its LiDAR sensors.

irs· tax enforcement· ai· san francisco· cruise· lidar

53:51 We're all going to tell you how much you're gonna get and we'll call it regulation. And here is my question to you, if AI is going to...if there's a larger than zero chance that AI will destroy the world? If this field is so new and is dangerous, that we need referees. We need government agencies. We need regulation." They can't even define it but continue... Explain to me why this is okay CNBC? The IRS has used its billions in new congressional funding in an interesting way they have a battery of new AI tools and they are launching a crackdown on the wealthiest tax invaders. Okay so what you're saying is AI is very very dangerous unleash it on the American

54:37 American people. Robert Frank is here to discuss those details. Yes, the new IRS commissioner his goal here was first let's use all this money to help the service part of our business help people who you know want help paying their taxes understanding what they need to do now we're at phase two which is go after wealthy tax cheats and what they're doing is putting a lot of that money number one to enforcers they're going to hire tens of thousands of auditors and enforces but number 2 is developed AI machine learning to figure out patterns they can find in tax returns, especially for these large partnerships that can help them identify where people are hiding their income. And that's where an agency not known for its technological prowess

55:19 is going to really make a step change. And I think this is the part where AI really can do some good because AI is great at these massive data questions and huge computing power, and applying that to finding the areas where humans didn't really see the patterns before but AI can. We just had a little con around there that said it was going to target 1500 millionaires with tax...I think it was tax debt of 250 That's right. So one of the parts of this is they're going after 1,600 people who have a million or more in income who have recognized tax debt. In other words we know... Known and acknowledged by the taxpayer that they owe at least $250,000. What? $250,000 excuse me. And this could raise hundreds of millions of dollars if they return all that. You know you would always say how can they get away with this already? The IRS just didn't have the staff to go after them legally and get this money back

56:15 I think someone misreported, I think they meant 250 million. But I think the truth came out here... No no! You have more than $250,000 in tax debt which i think a lot of people have that? More than 1,000?! Well with the tax rate being 40%, about 40% with the Biden tax rate uh $250,000 you'd have uh That would be five- that's less than a million in income Yeah, I think the truth was coming out there. Let's say 750 thousand in income people make and they would have a tax liability around that so that's... They're going after small business. Small businesses! LLCs! That's exactly what it is. You know AI we need regulation but unleash this monster on the American people you can't have it both ways

57:12 Meanwhile in San Francisco, the people are very happy with AI. This is a San Francisco civilian Taking a pickaxe to a cruise taxi. Smashing everything on this car! Is the taxi honking at him? Yeah, the taxi is honking and smashing the windshields, smashing those spinning things on top of it, the floor or whatever it is. The Lidar. LiDAR. Smashing the thing to bits, that's-that's the proper reaction to this! I think he should have stolen a LiDAR but okay But that is the proper response to this Yeah and he won't get caught because it's San Francisco if he gets caught they'll just let him go yeah Go smash another one

CHAPTER 16 / 47 Discussion

Dick Cheney Anti-Trump Ad, J6 Commission Context

A brief review of a political advertisement featuring Dick Cheney criticizing Donald Trump concludes that the footage is likely recycled from the period when Liz Cheney served on the January 6th Commission. The segment is dismissed to avoid presenting outdated political content as current news.

dick cheney· donald trump· liz cheney· j6 commission· political ads

57:57 But I mean, this is so stop with the oh they've got digital twins. No, they're coming after you for it's weird that coming after you for taxes. You tax invader? That's what she said. She actually called in attacks invade or at the beginning dummy dummy. Yeah. So I don't know none of it sounds happy days to me. All right well we got some funnier stuff We do we got funnier stuff First of all, let's start with the Dick Cheney anti-Trump Biden commercial. I think this is old...I'm just gonna have to say it right off the bat.. I think this is old too! I just found it though but we played it and you've seen it before? Yeah, yeah this goes back to

58:53 Let me see. Okay, then it's scrapped out scrap it because I don't want to play anything old. Because that goes back to when his daughter was on the J6 commission That's when that came out. Oh okay then get rid of it Go straight to Biden, go straight to the punchline. I only have one Biden clip and want to save it now. Okay all right all right Let's go to some a story that i think is little more pertinent something that kind of not being played up definitely Savannah Guthrie's no talking about it The situation at the libraries in Canada Oh this new to me! The libraries in Canada what happening?

CHAPTER 17 / 47 Discussion

Canada School Library Weeding, 2008 Publication Cutoff

The Peel District School Board in Ontario, Canada, implemented a "weeding" process that resulted in the removal of thousands of books published before 2008. Impacted titles reportedly included classics like "The Diary of Anne Frank" and "Harry Potter." The board stated the goal was to ensure library collections are "culturally responsive" and "inclusive," though the process led to many books being sent to landfills.

canada· peel district school board· library weeding· 2008· book removal

59:29 Check it out. Some school libraries just outside Toronto have half empty shelves, thousands of books their status in limbo that could be headed to the landfall it's all part of a weeding out process the Peel District School Board is going through and Angelina King reports this morning on how the process has led to inconsistencies and concern from students and parents. Harry Potter, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, The Diary of Anne Frank – those are all some of the books we've been told have been removed from some school libraries as part of this weeding process. Of course all very different books which speaks to the confusion and inconsistency parents and students are telling us that they're concerned about.

1:00:15 But first, I'll give you just a little bit of background on how all of this is supposed to work. Like most libraries in Canada the school libraries within the Peel District School Board are to weed out books that are damaged outdated or irrelevant but at Peel schools, there's a little bit more to it. Librarians and others have to read the books and ensure that they are inclusive and also ensure that they don't reinforce racist content or include stereotypes if they do, they have to go Okay Hello, Mark Twain. Goodbye Yeah, all right hello to killing Mockingbird All right, so they're taking and it turns out they're taking everything printed or published before 2008 And out it goes first thing to go in 1984 brave new world get it on yeah those books are gone Yeah out of here

1:01:08 Yeah, so the books now and this is a big deal in the Canadians are little bent out of shape about it but they haven't done anything about it yet. Let's go to part two Now I spoke with some who are concerned about how all of that is being handled including some students as well as a group that's against the process. I'm not comfortable giving anyone the power to be the arbiter on a huge basis of what's right and wrong from the library perspective about the totality of ideas that are available. As someone who is of Japanese descent, I think that people... authors who wrote about Japanese internment camps are going to be erased and the entire events that went on historically for Japanese Canadians are gonna be removed And to me that worries me alot

1:01:56 So staff are supposed to focus on books that were published in 2008 or prior, but that seems to have led to some confusion and half-empty shelves at some schools like the one you're looking at in Mississauga. Now we've been told that it appears some schools have simply removed nearly all of the books in the library published in 2008 or prior. What was 2008? What was it about 2000? I'm trying to find a reason for the 2008 cutoff point. I mean, Obama first got an office, I don't think. No, Obama and America but that doesn't make any sense what happened so there's going to be some rationale maybe some Canadian out there listening will tell us why of all the years

1:02:42 Why 2008? Which people have a big concern about. There also seems to be confusion about where these books are supposed to go Many have actually wound up in the landfill because staff believe that's what they were supposed to do with the books and we asked the school board about that It says that staff have been told to follow regional recycling guidelines. I spoke with the school board chair, he believes this process rolled out incorrectly He says trustees now have implemented changes to ensure transparency and accountability So now staff are supposed to track which books are removed and why. This is great! I mean this mirrors the United States of course but let's get any set up for the third clip in this series?

1:03:27 No, let's go for it. We want to make sure that as we move forward as a board not only that all students are feeling included, we want to make sure that the books or any materials that are in the school and in our library are relevant to today teaching We asked the board several questions like how many books are expected to be removed, how many are in landfills and how much it'll cost to replace them. But the board didn't answer those questions instead saying it's working to ensure that books are culturally responsive inclusive and diverse Oh my goodness is that 2008? Is that when White Privilege was published I mean there has got to be some reason people

1:04:10 Yeah, everything before 2008 is no good. Well I can tell you... This story by the way is outrageous and the Canadians going oh well I don't know what to do about it It's out of control this is ridiculous you can't do what they're doing and it's almost like just the opposite of what they're trying to do in Florida which is getting profane books out of the school libraries not Mark Twain Welcome to... It's very similar actually. You know, it's just a reverse world Canada is throwing stuff out they deem no good

CHAPTER 18 / 47 Discussion

Senate Hearing on Book Bans, John Kennedy, Mix Cameron

A Senate committee hearing on book bans featured Senator John Kennedy reading explicit passages from books found in school libraries, such as "All Boys Aren't Blue." The hearing included testimony from "Mix" Cameron, a librarian who advocated for collaboration between students and educators rather than parental control. The debate centered on whether removing sexually explicit material constitutes censorship or necessary age-appropriateness standards.

john kennedy· book bans· senate hearing· mix cameron· genderqueer

1:04:54 And in the United States, they just put stuff in that this is good for kids. We need to have it well yeah this is good for kids and boy was there an interesting hearing up on Capitol Hill. The debate over banning books got contentious on Capitol Hill yesterday. To all the parents out there who believe there's a bunch of stuff in our schools being pushed on your children that go over the line you're absolutely right. Thanks. Authoritarian regimes ban books not democracies. Illinois Secretary of State testified before a Senate committee to promote an Illinois law that prevents banning books. Our libraries have become targets by a movement that disingenuously claims to pursue freedom Some Republican-led states have restricted certain books where kids have access to them Most of the books include stories about racism, sexuality or gender identity Florida removed nearly 400 titles last year

1:05:48 The hearing turned racy at one point as Louisiana Senator John Kennedy read explicit scenes from two of the banned books. the worldview of every single manner on these issues. You're getting conceptual game, I'm not getting conceptual. Democrats and Republicans did agree some books are inappropriate for children but they were unable to agree on who has the responsibility to censor the books parents or the state

1:06:26 They should be removing these. Shame on them if they don't, and shame on those who want to groom children sexually." No one is advocating for sexually explicit content to be available in an elementary school library but no parent should have the right to tell another parents child what they can and cannot read in school or at home Okay so just the fact that we're talking about books and libraries means we are living in a dystopian world No matter what side you're on. It's all dystopian, it's all crazy... What? I thought you would- I didn't get it I thought you'd clip it for sure, which was Kennedy's reading from the books. I have both of those clips and i'm not going to play them. I'm leaving them in the show notes because... It's too much! But Kennedy reads from the books they're disgusting. I have more clips here let me play because there's- The core question is when it comes to school libraries this a difference

1:07:28 They're just saying, libraries they're burning books it's horrible the Nazis wow. Canada is the example of where this is really headed but I'm in agreement with you but they had this representative of the LGBTQ plus I2 spirit librarians Mix named Mix Cameron Oh, another mix. Mix is a popular name amongst the two spirits. Very popular name and we'll get to mix in a moment and I'm skipping the quotes from All Boys Aren't Blue and The Genderqueer Books. The links are...the clips are in the show notes you can listen to it but It's all meant for shock value and none of its good but this there was some actual stuff that was discussed that is worth listening to Mr. Secretary

1:08:21 What are you asking us to do? There you go. Are you suggesting that only librarians should decide whether the two books that I just referenced should be available to kids, is that what your saying? No. Okay tell me what your saying Well, first of all there's this... Don't give me a speech. Tell me what you're asking me to do With all due respect Senator the words you spoke are disturbing especially coming out of your mouth it is very disturbing but I would also tell you that Why is it especially coming out of your mouth Mr Kennedy? Why is it especially disturbing coming out his mouth? Oh thats a good catch! I don't understand why especially

1:09:09 Yeah, why especially said blowjob I mean why especially and we're not advocating for kids to report to Senator Booker's what are you? Advocating for we are advocating for parents, random parents not to have the ability under the guise of keeping kids safe. Random parents? To try and challenge... What kind of parent is a random parent? What is this? Random parents! The world view of every single manner on these issues You're getting conceptual again I'm not getting conceptual Yes you are yes you are because I want to know what your recommending it sounds to me like some of you are saying the librarians

1:09:51 should decide who gets to see that book. I'm saying when you're making, when individual parents are allowed to make a decision of where that line is and to kill a mockingbird which involves a rape scene should that book be pulled from our libraries? I think it becomes a slippery slope. Well i think you oughta think about it a little bit more before you come here- If your going to propose something y'oughta be able in 30 seconds to explain what theyre asking us to do. So needless to say Alexi had nothing so now we go to Mix! Mixx had a bow tie and... It was mix of what, what was the apparent gender if you were to guess? Well, Mixx looked like a dude with dude hair and a bow tie. And a pink jacket like salmon color really. And some kind of two-spirit suit. Sounds stylin'. Yeah it definitely is stylin' Let me skip you for second Mr. Cameron

1:10:51 Tell me what you're proposing. It's pronounced mix. Mix? How would you like to refer to it? Senator, your definition of sexual is synonymous with LGBTQ identity. I'm not asking that! You read those two excerpts. Are you asking that only librarians and not parents have any say in whether minors can read those books? Is that what you're saying? Genderqueer has never been in my school library, so it's never been banned. Well suppose if was should it be up just to the librarian or should parents have a say there should be facilitation of collaboration between students and educators. Parents should be working with students and educators to be making decisions because

1:11:38 students are. And who decides ultimately, the librarian or do you take a vote? Or who takes the vote? Book review committees in the community and my school district You want to committee? There are committees Okay well I'm asking you how do we decide whether the two books that i just referenced should be available in library what would you if you were running things what would you do All Boys Aren't Blue, the scene you mentioned is about sexual abuse. I know what it's about. It's not erotic What would you do in terms of making the books available? Would you say anybody can see them or they have to be in a special session Students who do not read books like all boys aren't blue cannot learn what is appropriate They cannot learn how to use... I understand that but none of you want answer my question You come here and you say censorship is bad and of course its bad

1:12:36 But the obvious response is, okay you heard the books we're talking about. Okay we're not talking about Ketcher and The Rye So tell me what's your want to get through decide? And all I've heard is the librarians and parents have nothing to do with it And if that's your response, what planet did you just parachute in from? Or what country more appropriately. This is not China! Canada! It's Canada! That's where he was coming from! We'll wrap it up with this one. My parents were immigrants, came to this country. We never checked out books without our parents seeing what books we're reading They encourage us to read books Mr Secretary I understand that this is good for your politics back home It's got nothing do with my politics Of course it does! My bill has passed But you came here with a problem and i'm trying to understand the solution And you don't have one Other than tell us that we don't agree with you You'll be on the wrong side of history

1:13:37 We fixed it because we... Well there are others you could work on. I'm out of time How about this? Government should have no say in the matter, how about that? How about Department of Education shouldn't be around even exist This is all, all is where we're going nuts and with taking it too far Good stuff But I didn't know that had spread to Canada That's pretty... No, Canada has taken a complete opposite approach Yeah, but there let's get rid of everything before 2008. Before we make sure all the books that we have are inclusive. That means there's going to be nothing in the library. There was an interesting case a girl who transitioned after two visits to her psychiatrist has successfully sued her psychiatrist for professional negligence. This is coming to an end now

CHAPTER 19 / 47 Discussion

Gender Transition Lawsuits, Professional Negligence, Medical Liability

A trend of lawsuits against psychiatrists and hospitals is emerging, filed by individuals who underwent gender transition procedures and later detransitioned. Cases in Canada and Minnesota involve allegations of professional negligence and lack of proper psychological screening. The discussion predicts that these cases will lead to massive legal settlements and force medical institutions to reconsider their protocols for gender-affirming care.

detransition· lawsuit· professional negligence· medical malpractice· minnesota

1:14:46 Well, there's also this big suit against I think it's a Minnesota hospital. Yeah the lawsuit yes by a girl who is detransitioned after they cut off her breasts. I don't know if they sterilized her or not, but there has to be some... The legal eagles in these large organizations have to consider the possibility of massive settlements because you can imagine what a jury's gonna do. You get one of these cases before a jury and you got some girl who's been

1:15:25 disfigured, let's say. Yeah. Specifically and life ruined especially if she has been sterilized and has a sob story to tell about how she was talked into it and didn't like the idea but they made her do it anyway and it cost all this money. The settlement amounts are going to be astronomical! Astronomical Yeah. These hospitals are right up against it for trying to pull this off and they better start backtracking as fast as they can because there's already, it's in the pipeline and I just don't see anything but some massive lawsuits against the hospitals, the doctors, the psychiatrists and everybody in between and they're not going to get past if that goes through a jury, there is no jury you can possibly select thats a normal jury

CHAPTER 20 / 47 Discussion

ADHD Medication Shortage, Adderall, Telehealth Prescribing

The United States is experiencing a significant shortage of ADHD medications like Adderall and Vyvanse, attributed to a 46% increase in prescriptions over the last decade. The surge is linked to the rise of telehealth platforms during the pandemic. Reports indicate some parents are resorting to giving their children caffeine drinks to compensate for the lack of available prescription stimulants.

adhd· adderall· vyvanse· telehealth· drug shortage

1:16:18 is not going to side with the patient. I can't imagine it ever happening." Meanwhile, with the new school year starting off in the United States parents are beside themselves with worry and outrage that they have to send their children to school without the allotted amount of ADHD medication they need to get through the day Yes. There is a drastic shortage of Adderall, Vyvanse and other such medications. Parents are sending their kids to school... What's this Vyvanse? Vyvanse is the same as Adderall only it has a delayed action so delayed release. Fancy Adderall Yeah kind of like I don't know what was the opioid that had the fancy release?

1:17:12 Yeah, yeah you know what I'm talking about. Time released! Time release that's it so why is this? Why has this happened is it because of China nope what happened well as it turns out use of prescription stimulants such as Adderall and Vyvanse which can mitigate ADHD symptoms I'm reading from Bloomberg rose 46% in the last 10 years, partly driven by the pandemic era surge of here it comes telehealth prescribing among adults. Telehealth prescribing among adults we are a drugged up nation. We love speed yes meth speed

1:18:01 And parents are sending their kids to school with caffeine drinks to supplement the Adderall because they don't have enough. At what point do people wake up and go, you know? You know maybe this doesn't make sense... We deserve it all I guess Well, there's always been an underground for this. It just moved it above ground and figured out why are the drug dealers making money on this stuff? We're talking seven-year olds John! Seven year old kids... Yeah like I said... No one used to drug their 7 year old with something. No of course you didn't. And it goes like this

CHAPTER 21 / 47 Discussion

Joe Biden Public Speaking, Energy Levels, Supercut

A supercut of President Joe Biden's recent public appearances highlights a contrast between his "mumbling" state and moments of high-energy shouting. The clips focus on his rhetoric regarding unions, the middle class, and American potential. The discussion suggests these high-energy moments are the result of strategic "juicing up" for major speeches.

David Ignatius Op-Ed, Biden Age Concerns, Democratic Strategy

Washington Post columnist David Ignatius published an op-ed arguing that President Biden and Vice President Harris should not run for re-election in 2024 due to Biden's age and Harris's low approval ratings. Ignatius appeared on "Morning Joe" to discuss his concerns, suggesting that while Biden has a strong team, his age remains a major liability. The op-ed is viewed as a signal from Democratic insiders that a change in leadership may be necessary.

david ignatius· washington post· joe biden· 2024 election· kamala harris

1:20:11 Go get him! His brain is gone. His brain is gone, Jim? Yes well there was an interesting article in the Washington Post by uber leftist supermench David Ignatius... yes I have a clip discussing this oh I have a couple too but happy to play yours first This is the media turning on Biden, woppo. And speaking of politicians age a columnist for The Washington Post is offering his thoughts in an op ed columnist David Ignatius argued that President Biden is too old to run again in 2024

1:20:57 Ignatius said he doesn't think Biden and Vice President Harris should run for re-election. He pointed to voters' concerns over Biden's age and Harris' low approval ratings. Biden is currently 80 years old, and would be 82 at the beginning of a second term. The columnist called Biden's age a big liability and said it has become the subject of dinner table conversations across America this summer As to Harris, the columnist said she quote failed to gain traction in the country or even within her own party. Ignatius touted what he considers Biden's achievements but said that Biden withdrawing from the 2024 race would be a wise choice for the country. Yes, woppo woppo woppo and David Ignatius showed up on The Morning Joe with Mika and Joe Scarborough and Mika well she had the only question that matters who would

1:21:49 an alternative right now who could do that on day one, a legitimate one. So Mika I can't name you that person the thing about the democratic process is that it yields answers to questions like that through this amazing phenomenon I still believe in. I believe that open discussion, nominating campaigns produce clarity, produce candidates, produce leaders. I couldn't agree more that Biden has been a strong leader in foreign policy and domestic policy as I wrote on the column he has passed some of the most significant domestic social legislation in decades

1:22:33 Foreign policy one of the things that I admire most about Biden is that he's gathered a team around him This is important this because this is coming straight from the Democratic insiders He now listen carefully because another clip that goes with this. He is saying well You'll hear what you say very solid people solid people teach equally he is the leader of that team But the team members themselves are strong have no doubt that this team of sensible, strategic people in the Democratic Party who are driving foreign policy forward in a good way will continue no matter who the Democrats choose. No matter who! On that score I'm less concerned than you are. I think it comes down to what we were talking about earlier is Joe Biden person who can stop

1:23:22 Donald Trump or somebody like Trump who gets the Republican nomination. That's what he's got to, he's gotta look in the mirror search his soul and make that decision and I wanted to raise that question i'd like him to think that through carefully because I have my concerns So that to me is an important thing that he said there The Democrats in America are looking for not for someone to run the country because he's got a great team He's got Blinken, he's got Newland He's got Sullivan. Those two, you just named the two reasons that that whole team should be ousted? Of course! But these people are dumb John because of diversity equity inclusion our entire political system has become dumb we've hired dummies so now they're looking for someone who can beat Trump they don't care as long as he can beat Trump...he or her I think

1:24:22 that Biden will bow out, I think we won't even get the big speech. Unless it's possible we get the big speech and he just goes nuts and he says something like... He is going to go nuts! And be great! ...and he says something like, I'm corrupt!! You know? That's what I pray for every day. Yeah you don't need these ideas. No, hey, you said it. He's a Catholic boy. All of sudden say, I gotta confess. I am corrupt. I took all my money. My sons' drug addict. I'm corrupt. What?! And so Kamala would have to step in for the time being. That'd be great, first black woman to be president of the United States it follows the Veep script to the T and Pelosi was on pooper

CHAPTER 23 / 47 Discussion

Nancy Pelosi on Kamala Harris, Political Astuteness

Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi defended Vice President Kamala Harris in a media appearance, describing her as "politically astute" and highlighting her rise from 6% in the polls to becoming California's Attorney General. The discussion critiques Harris's record as a prosecutor in San Francisco and suggests that her primary role is to remain a "stand-in" for the President.

nancy pelosi· kamala harris· attorney general· california· vice president

1:25:11 talking about Kamala and she said some just horrible things about her, but I think makes clear that she's gonna step in. She'll be fine to step in listen to this. He thinks so and that's what matters. And by the way, she is very politically astute I don't think people give her enough credit. She of course values base consistent with the presidents values and the rest People don't understand, she's politically astute. Why would she be vice president if she were not? But when she was running for attorney general in California, she had 6% in the polls and she politically astutely made her case about why she would be good did her politics and became attorney general. Okay so I just want to reiterate what you said here. You said she's politically astute

1:26:09 When she was running for Attorney General for the state of California, she had 6% and then she whispered, six percent. But she did her politics Can you tell me what those politics were at the time in California that she did? I was here. Yes, what did she do to go from 6%... I have no idea! Didn't she sleep with Willie Brown? Well, she did sleep with Willie Brown it's very well known it's kind of like a de facto facto facto She slept with Willie Brown or did something with Willie Brown Yeah That put a smile on his face let's say and She got she just got pushed into the job. I don't remember her even campaigning. I don't remember a speech from her I remember she was the DA in San Francisco and she did a crappy job there as she was condemned for some of this stuff She did she was nuts about just throwing every marijuana user in jail, and she had let a lot of bad guys Go she was like an early warning of them of them Chesea budan that they had to recall get him out of there

1:27:12 that guy in down in Los Angeles did the bad, bad DA's and yeah and then she ended up with the job. And the next thing you know she bounces into this job! She's definitely got a touch. She's politically astute. She's very astute. Yeah that's the word. Astute...and as we'll hear on the rest of this clip She just has to doesn't matter if she's dumb as a rock. She didn't have to say anything Just be a stand-in And she politically astutely made her case about why she would be good did her politics and became Attorney General So don't people shouldn't underestimate what? Kamala Harris brings to the table Do you think she is the best?

1:27:57 Running mate though? She's the vice president of the United States. People say to me, well why isn't she doing this or that I said because she's the vice president That's the job description Don't do anything just stand there and be ready when the old guy croaks or leaves or whatever you don't do that much You know You're a source of strength, inspiration intellectual resource and the rest. And you... I think she's represented our country very well at home and abroad. So you don't have to do anything that's the job! That's the job! The job is be like Selena Gomez Be as stupid as you want to be doesn't matter The team around you will take care of it Joe's out. The question is who is good enough to take on Donald Trump? I know only one

CHAPTER 24 / 47 Discussion

2024 Election Speculation, Michelle Obama, Gavin Newsom

Speculation regarding the 2024 Democratic ticket includes theories about Michelle Obama entering the race or Gavin Newsom replacing Biden. The discussion references Tucker Carlson's recent interview with Larry Sinclair regarding Barack Obama's personal history as a potential factor in future political maneuvers. The "Big Mike" theory is presented as a viable, albeit controversial, path for the Democratic Party.

michelle obama· gavin newsom· 2024 election· tucker carlson· barack obama

1:28:50 But Gavin Newsom? Big Mike 2024, baby. Oh please! Yep it's coming I can feel it in my water big mike 2024 bigmike2024.com everybody if you want to want to spread the word around. Somebody got the domain yeah we did believe me good move who else who else could take on Donald Trump Now Gavin Newsom, maybe Nancy Pelosi is lying herself. I don't think that... Gavin Newsom's got a baggage of the state itself which is a problem but even though he's good bullshitter and he's been promoted by the right in the form of Sean Hannity Let me tell you it makes so much sense It's all coming together now just bear with me

1:29:36 I'm telling you who's gonna get it still, unless I see a falter. Kennedy! Let's get to that in a second the way i would play this is i would get Tucker on our team so to speak, and I'd have him out Obama as gay with you know either the real Larry Sinclair or the fake Larry Sinclair. It doesn't matter The story is out and by the way Did you know that Carlson's have quite a history of outing gay and transgender people? Tell me more! did you know that it was Carlson's dad Richard Carlson who outed

1:30:18 the transsexual tennis player back in the 70s. Remember? I can almost remember the person's name. Yeah, a transexual tennis player... I thought everyone knew that was a transsexual tennis player. Renee Richards, Renee Richards. Yeah, Renee Richards, everyone knew that. No! But it was... here 19... from the wiki 1976 Richard's gender reassignment was outed by local TV anchor Richard Carlson who also wore a bow tie the father of Tucker Carlson. Subsequently, the United States Tennis Association, the Women's Tennis Association and the United States Open Committee required all female competitors to verify their sex with a bar body test of their chromosomes." So the Carlsons have a history of doing this they're the go-to guys Well that's one example give me more in so far as a history That's history who cares? Just one Yeah just two

1:31:20 Two. There's one was Renee and two is Obama, we have all this the whole Listen, the Democrat Party has primed their... It's no longer black people. It was black people before we have Black Lives Matter petered out everyone stole the money and we don't have the black you know if if you vote if you don't vote Democrat you ain't black so that's no longer in play You're trans Everyone's trans That's the thing 20% of cool school kids say I'm trans you might as well say I'm a democrat you wearing a mask your democrat it's all it's all tied in

1:31:56 to bringing in Obama's gay, I'm sorry you know it's right then here's Mike. That is an actual play i can see happening It's that crazy in the world The amount of time you spend on this thesis is ridiculous! I will just remind you Donald Trump called it early Pope nailed it. I have a history You can't refute my choices There's plenty of refutation This one is so off the wall. The problem is I get to sense even though I'm not completely convinced by the way that you're sincere, totally sincere as an option. I personally would enjoy Bobby the op a lot more and it's just that, you know, it's all rigged against him. There's no them. It's all, it's all uphill battle this year they're rigging the primary how does he do? It is, you can go third party

CHAPTER 25 / 47 Discussion

JFK Assassination, Paul Landis, Magic Bullet Theory

Former Secret Service agent Paul Landis, who was present during the JFK assassination, has come forward with new claims that challenge the "magic bullet" theory. Landis alleges he found a bullet in the back of the presidential limousine and placed it on a gurney at the hospital. This new account potentially discredits findings of the Warren Commission and is discussed in the context of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s presidential campaign.

jfk· paul landis· secret service· magic bullet· warren commission

1:33:00 That's not gonna work. No, third party is not going to work. That's not gonna work? No one is bringing him as an option how do you get from here to there I mean I just gave you a viable path for Michelle Obama okay yeah viable path where's your red book it's in there It's a viable path. There was big blue arrows pointing at it wow now okay so there's one All right, there's a possibility. We saw a New York Times article come out with all of a sudden we have one of the Secret Service guys who is now in his 80s who was there on the day of JFK assassination and he comes out and says oh no no I found the magic bullet discrediting the entire report what was it called? The Warren Commission

1:33:55 discrediting it. He said, no no no that it was stuck in between the seat of the car and I put it on the gurney and then it must have jumped over off that gurney and then onto Kennedy's gurney. Did you read this? He has a book coming out of course written by who knows yeah do you think that this would have something to do with Bobby the K? Big Mike? No Bobby the K Oh, uh... Somehow? I don't know. You know the thing is kind of eluded at the moment. I want to see it shake out a little bit more. The Bobby the K move Well you- there's no moves that's the problem! There's no moves. I see no action. I think analysis is being performed as we speak what to do next. Okay, I'm sorry. I think I have more in my Big Mike theory than you have on Bobby the K Yeah and Gavin Newsom will end up being the guy and he'll lose

CHAPTER 26 / 47 Discussion

Michelle Lujan Grisham, New Mexico Gun Ban, VP Bid

New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham issued an emergency order banning the open and concealed carry of firearms in Albuquerque for 30 days, citing a public health crisis. The move faced immediate pushback from law enforcement and the state's Attorney General, who deemed it unconstitutional. The governor's "bold action" is interpreted as a strategic move to position herself as a potential replacement for Kamala Harris on the 2024 ticket.

michelle lujan grisham· new mexico· gun control· albuquerque· second amendment

1:34:55 Well, that would probably be the best for America. I do think that we have a possible VP who has thrown her hat into the ring and that's the Grisham lady from New Mexico This whole thing that she did with the banning of concealed carry and open carry firearms in New Mexico smells to me of a VP bid. I had Grisham picked as the VP in the last election before they came out with Kamala. It's a good pick, but the problem with Grisham now is that she

1:35:37 She was kind of a perky, I wouldn't say necessarily cute but she had a lot of pizzazz back four years ago or two years. That was only two years ago now Now she looks like she's been, it looks like they've been drugging her so she looks bad. She's perfect! She's got a bad look I got to couple clips here that i think shows this whole move was nothing about the safety of the people in New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham last week declared a public health emergency and announced a 30-day ban on carrying firearms open or concealed in public areas in Albuquerque and its county The Democratic governor's move is facing pushback

1:36:17 pushback from law enforcement officials and gun rights groups. Joining us now for her first national televised interview since issuing this order is the governor of New Mexico, Michelle Lujan Grisham. Governor thank you for your time this morning and let's get to exactly that we just heard from the sheriff he joins the attorney general and others who say they won't enforce it it's unconstitutional why do it if it can't be enforced? Well, that's their opinion and they have no bold actions. They don't have any plans for reducing gun violence every single aspect in terms of preventing gun violence funds crime labs

1:36:56 more than $150 million for retention bonuses and recruitment of new police officers. I'm focused on one thing, we have the third highest gun-related injuries in the country 90% higher than the national average. We lost 143 children between 2017 and 2021 It is unacceptable, and it calls for immediate and swift and bold action. And frankly the evidence bears out over and over again fewer guns on the streets makes everyone safer and I'm focused on everyone's constitutional rights not just those the NRA says i should be focused on yeah it's not just the NRA here's one other concern from the sheriff here's what he told my colleague Caitlin Collins last night

1:37:43 In a couple of months or year down the road, we're the ones stuck in court and we're the ones getting sued over all these infringement rights and all these other court battles when I could be focusing so much more on crime. When she says bold action you know gun crimes she doesn't care about people New Mexico She cares about being the VP whose job will be to take away America's guns Has any law enforcement officer in Albuquerque or the county actually enforced this yet? Well, we haven't issued any civil penalties but that doesn't mean that we're not and that we don't have the ability to do that. But this is pushback I get from every single... well it's a no this minute but that doesn't mean that we aren't and it doesn't mean that we don't have additional police presence And if not this bold action making sure you're safe going to the grocery store You're safe going into a baseball game

1:38:39 hiking trail. There are individuals, including young people where it's illegal today to have a handgun openly carrying handguns my question to law enforcement is where are you? Where are you? In that young 11-year old, 17 rounds were fired into that gun. 35,000 rounds are fired at least annually in Albuquerque alone! You are not safe going to work getting your prescription drugs or going to a public park and it wasn't just about a cooling off period. It's about making sure that everyone is safer while we do bolder work, both the drug epidemic and the gun violence epidemic. And it's not for police to tell me what's constitutional or not they haven't supported one

1:39:30 Not one gun violence effort in the state of New Mexico. Anti-police? Domestic violence protections, universal background checks and I know you want to ask me a question so i'll take a breath but... No you're not! These are NRA talking points about their rights and not about anybody else's and it's not a ban It's a temporary pause so that we can make this community safer. Everyone knows that Kamala is like a weak link and nobody likes her. Yeah, and they got to get rid of her if they're gonna run again And Biden's not gonna give up the ghost and okay well whatever you guys can know Biden's gonna get jacked out You'll see it is going to be in the next few weeks. I can't wait. They're gonna Jack him up yes With his shot he's gonna give a big rousing speech bitching about everything and he's gonna talking about

1:40:31 You know, dignity! And so they're gonna move out of Harris and move this girl in. Oh yeah for the next run okay so you think Joe is still good to run for 2024? He's proven he can beat Trump Okay even though the Democrat insiders are saying he's too old which is code four he's too wasted No I think there's a schism in the party And the schism is being show. It's a WAPO is right on there or they're at the front of it They are saying no, you know You got to David Ignatius being the front guy of all the columnist you could have used You put him as the guy cuz I don't know why but there's a reason for that choice maybe nobody else wanted to do it To be the point man for this whole takedown

CHAPTER 27 / 47 Discussion

Election Integrity, Rigged Voting Systems, Political Skepticism

A cynical perspective on the American electoral process suggests that voting may be "completely bogus" and rigged by entrenched interests in Washington. The theory posits that Donald Trump's 2016 victory was an anomaly caused by the establishment "dropping the ball," and that such an event will not be allowed to happen again. This viewpoint dismisses the relevance of individual candidates in favor of a controlled system.

voting· election integrity· department of justice· fbi· washington

1:41:23 And so they chose him and he's okay, but he's not the greatest in terms of being a point man. And turning the whole party against Joe it's a salvo. So just to shot across the bottle let see what happens. Meanwhile Joe is not giving up and his team is not giving up and so they're looking for somebody new you probably identified her and its Michelle who I thought should have been the one in the first place The, um... Wait. So you're agreeing with me? Did you just agree with me? I said Biden's gonna run again is that agreeing with you? No, you said it should have been Michelle in the first place- You said Big Mike's gonna run again! That's Michelle. The big mic is Michelle. No, Michele Grisham Oh, I'm sorry. I was like whoa what are you talking about All right now the Bobby the op thing Kennedy I think he may be an OP but if anything he's an OP to get Trump elected

1:42:25 He can take votes away. He can actually degrade the Democrat votes. Well then you have to assume if that's true, then we have to make the assumption that Trump is sold out and is now okay to go? Is that what you're saying? I'll tell you my bottom line...I don't think anyone controls it but someone controls the voting and whoever runs the show determines who becomes president and they screwed up and somehow Trump eked through and he got it And they're never going to let that happen again, no matter come hell or high water. That's what I think. I don't think voting matters. I think your vote doesn't matter my vote doesn't matter i think it's completely completely bogus. I really do and it's hard to think of that but I think it just doesn't matter

1:43:16 It's rigged every which way. And they just took their eye off the ball because they thought, oh no Hillary Trump can't do it and somehow they forgot to do some stuff somebody took you know wasn't paying attention. Someone dropped the ball. Someone dropped the ball and then he now never happened again ever It's been determined, whatever they want it's all been set. And has nothing to do with the people in Washington. Has nothing to do with Department of Justice or the FBI or anything like that. It's rigged. It's screwball. That's what I really think. Well that's what you really think is fine and so i don't see how anything you just said makes any sense with bringing in Big Mike Okay we'll see You will repent?

CIA COVID Origin Whistleblower, Hush Money Allegations

Republican lawmakers sent a letter to CIA Director William Burns regarding a whistleblower's claim that six out of seven analysts on a COVID discovery team were offered "significant monetary incentives" to change their assessment of the virus's origins. The analysts reportedly favored the lab leak theory before being incentivized to support a more neutral or natural origin conclusion. The CIA has denied these allegations, maintaining their standards of analytic integrity.

cia· covid-19· whistleblower· wuhan lab· hush money

1:44:08 I'm not... Big Mike is no, Big Mike is out. Okay let's talk about one other thing that I need to get off my chest. Don't call it a comeback! It's back and just to confuse you even further into believing that the summer cold Is somehow COVID-XB3.225974 Let's bring out a whistleblower! This morning the CIA confirms it is looking into accusations that several members of an agency team tasked with Covid pandemic analysis were paid significant hush money to shift their position regarding the origins of the virus

1:44:49 Two Republican lawmakers have sent a letter to CIA Director William Burns claiming that a senior level current agency officer came forward alleging the payoff. They say, according to The Whistleblower seven officers were assigned to the CIA's COVID discovery team and six of the seven members of the team believed the intelligence and science were sufficient to make a low confidence assessment COVID-19 originated from a laboratory in Wuhan, China. The letter claims only one person on that team who was most senior believed that COVID could have been transmitted from animals to humans but that to come to the eventual public determination of uncertainty, the other six members were given a significant monetary incentive to change their position. The whistleblower did not explain the payments or who might've made them

1:45:40 The CIA tells ABC News, we are committed to the highest standards of analytic rigor integrity and objectivity. We do not pay analysts to reach specific conclusions. The origins of COVID have been the subject of several congressional hearings Former CDC director Dr. Robert Redfield earlier this year testified he was excluded from discussions because he believed the lab leak theory warranted investigation. I was told to me that they wanted a single narrative and that obviously had a different point of view. untrue. In June, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence said the CIA and another agency were unable to decide on where they think COVID's origins lie as both hypotheses rely on significant assumptions or face challenges with conflicting reporting This new letter is asking for documents related to the COVID discovery team's creation communications about COVID's origins

1:46:39 and records of any financial bonuses. The letter is asking for that information to be turned over by September 26th. So the timing of this is suspect, the minute the FDA authorizes the new vaccination booster you know there's even disagreement over what we're calling it bring in Redfield I think this is all bunk A whistleblower, particularly inside the government has whistleblower protections but you have to come forward and I'm reading from the

1:47:18 United States House Committee on Oversight Accountability press release. They say, staff on the select subcommittee of the Coronavirus Pandemic and Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence have heard testimony from a whistleblower alleging that the Central Intelligence Agency offered six analysts significant monetary incentives to change their position in COVID-19's origin. The whistleblower who presents as a highly credible senior level CIA officer. What does that mean? The whistleblower who presents, is this person the highly credible senior level CIA officer or do they just present that way?"

CHAPTER 29 / 47 Discussion

FDA Booster Authorization, Winter Wave Concerns

The FDA authorized new COVID-19 booster shots from Pfizer and Moderna to target the latest strains, including the BA.2.86 variant. While national cases are not currently in a "worrisome wave," health officials are warning of a potential "winter wave." The discussion notes that the federal government will no longer pay for the shots, with costs shifting to private insurance and Medicare at approximately $120 per dose.

fda· cdc· covid booster· pfizer· moderna· ba.2.86

1:47:58 What does that mean? It means that whoever wrote the press release was illiterate. The whistleblower who presents as a highly credible senior level... Let's assume the whistleblower was a high-level guy, this whole thing is bullcrap! Correct it's only to get you to believe that this is all a real thing right now and forget about the original Right now, no. This is just the flu it's just a cold that literally coronavirus literally is a cold but yep the timing is perfect believe its real because we've got another shot for you Tonight FDA authorization is a major step towards new booster shots after the CDC meets Tuesday vaccines from Moderna and Pfizer could go into arms by the end of the week Arms! Talk about a pitch into

1:48:48 arms or could go into arms by the end of the week. Drug makers say boosters should increase protective antibodies against the latest strains, including BA 286. The CDC says the mutation shows the ability to infect the protected and even those who've already had COVID but it doesn't appear to be more severe what this booster will do is protect us against severe disease hospitalization And the data so far indicate that the booster is well matched to those strains. Though national doesn't sound a lot like the same script they used to use for the flu, oh we've matched it! It's the right one! We figured it out! It's the right one for this strain of the flu

1:49:35 For this year's strain of the pandemic, of the COVID. Is well matched to those strains Though national COVID cases are no longer tracked some states are reporting a rise though not a worrisome wave in new infections. Worrisome wave oh man! Hospitalizations are up nearly 16% even though 97 percent of adults have some level of protective immunity I was extremely exhausted and and just like bad congestion. Congestion. College senior Luma Estrey just caught the virus as she returned to school, just like many adults have at work and at large venues. Last week a lot of my classes were empty because

1:50:16 because a lot of kids were reporting that they were sick. Reporting because they didn't want to go to school while the federal government will no longer pay for booster shots most Americans will be covered by private insurance or medicare local clinics are also expected to offer the roughly 120 shot for free while many new infections are mild, tonight there is concern a winter wave could be near if Americans don't take precautions or get protection. We went from a worrisome wave to a winter wave and we need to bring out as many people as we can onto the phony baloney M5M networks to sell this... To sell it to the American people Do you remember Dr. Ja? Remember that guy? Ja!

CHAPTER 30 / 47 Discussion

Dr. Ashish Jha, Annual COVID Shot, Vaccine Marketing

Former White House COVID response coordinator Dr. Ashish Jha appeared on the "Today Show" to promote the new COVID vaccine, suggesting it should be viewed as an "annual shot" similar to the flu vaccine. Jha stated it is safe to receive both the flu and COVID shots simultaneously. The segment is criticized as a marketing effort for pharmaceutical companies, noting the price hike from $20 to $120 per dose.

ashish jha· covid vaccine· flu shot· pfizer· moderna· marketing

1:50:59 Yeah, I remember Zha. Well they brought him on the Today Show. Zha let's sell it baby! Sell it home bring it! Joining us now Dr Ashish Jha the former White House COVID response coordinator and now once again the Dean of Brown University School of Public Health. Dr Jha you had your tour of duty in Washington but here we are talking about what some people are calling a COVID booster but this is a new shot tell us about this new one and what it responds to which is it for? Is it for a particular variant? Is it for the original COVID? Why do we need to get it Yeah, okay. Let's sell it! So first of all thrilled to be back It's good to be back you know it was good to be on the payroll Look every year we update our flu vaccine To match the flu strain that circulating And now were just doubling down with two shots for ya every year We're starting do the same thing with COVID shots Yes yes so there are new strains of COVID that are circulating and you need a new shot once a year I don't call it a booster because You know its just your annual COVID shot at this point and most people should go out and get their annual COVID shot

1:51:57 the way they get annual flu shot and it's matches the strains that are circulating out there right now. It matches! It's just like a flu shot, it's crazy! This is exactly what we used to do only wanted make more money $120 per shop don't worry your insurance will pay for doesn't cost anybody in the world anything else and Medicare will pay for I know where them magic money okay so we should be getting that shot Now you said with the flu shot, a lot of people are about to get their flu shot. Is it a good idea to get both of those shots together? Well for the... let's look at the balance sheet yes it's a great idea! Together? It is I got both of them last year together totally safe to do that Totally sue that guy That right what he said right there I think it's suable

1:52:42 Hey, Dr. Jha said it's totally safe! It works just as well to do that it's obviously much more convenient you can get them in the same arm you get them different arms it doesn't matter but you can definitely get them at the same time You make a good point we don't call it a flu booster shot We just call it our flu vaccine Don't call it a booster it's a shot baby it's new we don't say that about the flu it has to be new and fresh every single time Yeah your annual flu shot so it's time for your annual covid shot Get em together It makes the fall, the winter, the holidays just much safer. Much better for everybody. It's much better for everybody because you don't want to kill granny hospitalization numbers that we've seen tick up from the prior week doctor shot. To what do we attribute this? I heard an uptick. I heard a script uptake it's ticked off the hospitalization numbers that we've seen take out from the prior week. What do we attribute that is just like a return to now is just the numbers to work after Labor Day as more to it than that look

1:53:34 COVID is going to be with us, right? Forever. Just the way flu is with us... Wait a minute wait a minute wait a minute when did we hear that COVID's gonna be with us forever just like the flu was with us have you had was this a major scientific survey study or something Did you hear about any of this? Yeah, no. This was presented a couple...this was early on in the game they threw this at us. It's largely because coronavirus is the cold! It's always going to be with us. It's always gonna be with us. COVID it's gonna be with us right forever just the way flu has been forever He totally did. Forever! COVID is going to be with us, right? Forever just the way flu is with us and the question is how do you manage it? With COVID we're probably gonna see a couple of these little waves a year where it's gonna go up, it's gonna go down

1:54:27 They usually happen during the winter. We get one usually during this summer, this is just sort of that late summer COVID wave we've seen it each of the last couple summers. We're seeing it again I'm hoping it's going to turn around and it's gonna peak and start coming back down This is a reality And we can manage our way through it Just keeping up on the vaccines. You could manage it by stepping up on the vaccine? Do they do the right thing here in suggesting twice a year shot Even better even better than that They don't even hide it anymore. They say, look, Pfizer and Moderna are sponsoring this segment they're paying for everything on television right now could you just get to the... Could you close it? Can you pitch this thing and close it for me? Dr. John make your big pitch here okay I mean because a lot of folks if you're immunocompromised or elderly

1:55:17 I knew i'd get you with that one. Make your pitch! Come on man, we got 40 seconds left make your pitch Dr. Jha. Dr. Jha make your big pitch here okay? Because a lot of folks out there if you're immunocompromised or elderly and want to stay on top of your COVID shots other folks who are like I'm reasonably healthy young do I really need to do it or you know I've had COVID three times and I've had all the shots what's your pitch? At what point is that Savannah? I know, I'm not sure that's Savannah but whoever it is because she's not. I can't tell right there but the idea that you'd say I've been vaccinated double vax and boosted and boosted have had COVID three times why do we need another shot? It's just like does anyone notice how ludicrous this is thank you for pointing that out! This is...and we..I was dinner last night then young people talking about their family members who are doctors

1:56:14 Who are doctors? And you can literally say to them, do you remember when it was safe and effective at 95%? Yes. Do you remember it went to 85 and 75 and then they needed a booster and they need another booster and was safe and effective and then if you wouldn't go into the hospital and there would be no severe illness and there's no myocarditis is crazy and any of that. You remember all that yeah well then why do you think this is any different Well, I haven't you know. I'm not dead that's only unvaccinated people You know it isn't that what they call cognitive dissonance? Isn't that the exact perfect textbook example of cognitive dissidence like see that... Dissonance yeah. Dissonance am i saying it wrong? I thought you said dissident no dissonant

1:57:08 Which is a funnier term if you think about it. Let's finish as a pitch, his big pitch! What's your pitch? Yeah so couple things first of all if you get COVID after getting vaccinated it's going to be much milder You're less likely to miss work, you're less likely to miss school Second you're less likely to spread it to others So maybe you're not high risk Maybe grandma is if you've gotten the COVID shot, you're less likely to spread it to her. That makes a really big or grandma and then some people go on to develop long covid where they can have long term complications that gets reduced a lot by getting vaccinated too free widely available To me It's a no brainer Free Free Free Why well, you know what? I like that. He's charging of all things because the shot is we already know the cost of the shots 19 bucks max 120 bucks for the 20 120. Well was twenty bucks That was a Moderna one hundred and twenty it's 120 s I'm just gonna get to the point

1:58:00 So they've got to, we know what it costs. It's $10 to $20 the cost to make the thing and so they just spill this out for 30-40 bucks but by jacking the price way up to 120 and then saying it's free, it's a marketing trick Yes, thank you. So why don't they just say well this is what's coming? This has got to be coming because I would do this if I was the marketing guy at Pfizer that goes like this well this new... This will be next year The new variant, this was a tough one. This cost of R&D that went into getting this one done. This shot is going to be 300 bucks

1:58:45 300 bucks is good. That's what it's gonna cost but free if you know It's not three hundred So you jack the energy of phony baloney up some some vits and price in the sky charge the government for that course, you know They did do you still have to pay somebody has to pay the three hundred bucks? It's just a win-win. Maybe at the very end there, what he said was kind of cool. That gets reduced by getting vaccinated too. Free and widely available to me is no brainer. It's a no brainer! That's the payoff. What's wrong with you? You don't need your brain. In fact if you have no brain it's better that you get this shot

CHAPTER 31 / 47 Discussion

Dr. Anthony Fauci, Myocarditis Risk, Pharmaceutical Royalties

Dr. Anthony Fauci appeared on ABC's "This Week" to recommend the new booster for vulnerable populations while acknowledging a "very, very, very low risk" of myocarditis in young men. Fauci claimed the risk of myocarditis from the virus itself is greater than from the vaccine. The discussion questions why the retired official remains a frequent media presence, suggesting he continues to benefit from pharmaceutical royalties.

anthony fauci· myocarditis· mrna· nih· pharmaceutical royalties

1:59:23 But let's talk to, let's go over to NBC. Stay with NBC not the Today Show how about side effects? You know any issues and what about any side effects with this one yeah they're supposed to mirror previous versions of the COVID shot you might have a sore arm fatigue nausea headache even fever in some cases Some people have learned by now whether there is someone who should take the day off the next day because maybe more of a reaction to this shot it seems to be different for everyone right I do think i remember I was a little sick but not too bad after, you know? All right. Erica thank you so much appreciate it Thank You! Why don't we ask Dr Fauci about side effects let's just ask him on ABC this week So what's your sense of obviously those that are in high-risk categories but who should be taking that booster

2:00:07 You know, John I don't want to get ahead of the ACIP and their recommendation. My own personal feeling is that I believe certainly those who are vulnerable the elderly and those with underlying conditions... The elderly! But i believe we should give the choice to people who are not in the high-risk groups to have the vaccine available for them because again, we have experience with this type of vaccine in billions of people. It's a safe vaccine Of course with the mRNA there is very low risk particularly in young men of getting a myocarditis. Oh wait I don't remember that in the beginning and but there's a very, very, very low risk particularly in young men but it's very, very, very low risk. It's to say vaccine of course with the mRNA there is a very, very, very low risk

2:01:02 particularly in young men, of getting a myocarditis. But if you look at the risk of myocarditis from COVID itself is greater than the risk of the vaccine. And so from my own personal standpoint... I don't think so. Make it available for everyone, but certainly recommended for the high risk people. Yeah. Now you get a, you get myocarditis from COVID not from the vaccine from COVID from COVID this guy is a liar and now I thought he was retired by understanding was and I've said it before. Yes, he is. A few months back. He quit the job he's done. Why is he still on TV constantly?

2:01:46 Because he gets paid to do that. He's he is a full-fledged employee of the pharmaceutical industry He get he actually still gets royalties just because you no longer with NIH doesn't mean you don't get the royalties that goes on in perpetuity He's selling his own stuff. Yeah, but it doesn't have to be on TV Why don't you just go home and collect the royalties cash checks? Are you seriously asking me why he's on TV?! The man sells! Come on, he's America. He is the COVID patron saint we trust him. The mask though the Cochran study that's a bit of a problem and we're almost out of time but I want to ask you there was a new study out that suggested masks were actually not

CHAPTER 32 / 47 Discussion

Cochrane Mask Study, Dr. Tom Jefferson, Science vs Politics

Dr. Tom Jefferson, lead author of the Cochrane Review on physical interventions against respiratory viruses, appeared on CNN to clarify his study's findings that masks show no significant effect in stopping the spread of COVID-19. This contradicts Dr. Fauci's claims that the study was "misleading." Jefferson argued that the public has been "drunk with certainty" regarding masks, which he characterizes as a political rather than scientific stance.

cochrane review· masks· tom jefferson· anthony fauci· michael smerconish

2:02:25 effective at least in a global sense and- Remember that? Oh yeah, it's local level they're affected but not on a global level. In containing the pandemic what is your sense looking back at all this did masks prove to be less effective than you anticipated? You know, John if some of the studies that confusing the study that recently has been now quoted a lot and causing a lot of confusion Confusion is this Cochran study which even the people who run the Cochran Studies say? That that study can be misleading because people commented on that study saying absolutely mass don't work Which is absolutely not the case Because there are a number of studies

2:03:09 that show that masks actually do work. And there's a lot of confusion when you take a broad series of studies and you look at them in a meta-analysis, only a couple of those studies were specifically looking at COVID so I think we better be careful that study that people keep talking about can be very, very misleading. There's a lot of good data that masks work." Well okay so that's just waste water out the mouth because he said nothing. Wouldn't it be nice if we could hear from the man who actually ran that study who is behind this study Dr Jefferson? Because there is no confusion in his mind about the Cochran Study and I'll give to Shmirkonish

2:03:52 from CNN for bringing this guy on and saying, what's the deal with your study? Why is it so controversial which I don't think it is. But according to Dr Fauci, he said oh now could be misinterpreted as very confused even the people that ran the studies say it's confusing. The Cochran reports physical interventions to interrupt or reduce the spread of respiratory viruses was published earlier this year an aggregate analysis of scientific studies on the efficacy of masks. Dr. Lena Wen in The Washington Post has called Cochrane a highly reputable source, its systemic reviews are considered the gold standard of medical analysis." So I thought i would go to the source-the first author of the Cochrane study and hear his side of the controversy. Dr Tom Jefferson joins me now he's an epidemiologist

2:04:39 epidemiologist and senior associate tutor at the University of Oxford. Do masks work, in your opinion, in stopping the spread of COVID? We've got three SARS-CoV2...three trials on SARS-CoV-2 and none of them show an effect It is impossible to show that something doesn't work in this case. And science adopts a probabilistic approach, so it's a chance approach. Is it more likely than not? At the moment there is no evidence that that is the case and which mask against which pathogen – there are hundreds of pathogens

2:05:23 So that's the situation. I have to say this worries me when you bring in the Dvorak, there is no evidence? It's like... Don't know how to interpret that, but we can ask even more clearly. Can you say with certainty that masks don't work? So I'm hoping to bring clarity to viewers because it's very hard to follow as lay people It sounds to me Dr Jefferson As you are saying We don't know and by the way when I look at the authors conclusion And i'll put this on the screen The authors conclusion from the most recent of these flat-out says there is uncertainty about the effects of face masks. I don't want people to think that you're here saying they don't work, it sounds to me like you're here saying no i can't tell you if they do or they don't work but please speak for yourself You are correct! I can't tell you whether they work or don't work but its more likely than not that they don't work okay?

2:06:23 based on, but this is not just against SARS-CoV2, the COVID pathogens. We're looking at interventions over 78 trials over 50 years. The whole review is over half a million participants in these trials. Now the underlying problem that you've got there is that people are drunk with certainty they're told that something works end of story That's no science What science is about is likely or unlikely to work, or we can't find any evidence of it. Okay so what is it? If it's not science... It's politics. The hospitalization numbers that we've seen today- Sorry, that was- Well you know talking about politics and bringing in COVID into politics Are you familiar with what's going on in New York with the quarantine camps

CHAPTER 33 / 47 Discussion

New York Quarantine Camps, Rule 2.13, Kathy Hochul

New York Governor Kathy Hochul and Attorney General Letitia James are appealing a court ruling that blocked "Rule 2.13," which would allow the Department of Health to forcibly isolate individuals suspected of carrying communicable diseases. Critics argue the rule violates the separation of powers and lacks due process, as individuals could be detained without prior notice or legal counsel. The rule would apply to a wide range of conditions, including toxic shock syndrome.

kathy hochul· letitia james· quarantine camps· rule 2.13· new york

2:07:19 Oh goodness, do you have a clip of this? Tell me you have a clip. I have two. Thank you. Masks don't work by the way. Quarantine camps New York state is still fighting for the right to set up quarantine camps today The battle entered the next phase when the court heard oral arguments in the case. Quarantine camps in the state of New York Governor Kathy Hochul and Attorney General Letitia James want to implement Rule 2.13 It would give the state's Department of Health the power to forcibly isolate individuals suspected of carrying a transmittable disease This is truly about being able to control citizens for any reason New York State Senator George Borrello and Lead Attorney Bobby Hancock sued the state over the rule, and won the case last year

2:08:04 However, the state appealed and on Wednesday attorneys made their case before an appeals court. The rule says the commissioner of health can pick any place that the commissioner of health wants to put you. You have no say, as you can see in this clip hundreds of people showed up at the court protesting the idea of quarantine camps set up to stop the spread of communicable diseases. Senator, the COVID pandemic is over why does the state of New York still want to have the right to set up these camps? Well first and foremost we have to remember even though the governor and attorney general tried to make us about COVID The senator says the state's rule would apply to a long list of diseases, not just COVID. It goes everything from toxic shock syndrome to food poisoning and while food poisoning might be serious condition it is not communicable. Wait... Is Toxic Shock Syndrome communicable? No! That's that this who is this guy

2:09:03 He's telling you what this but this would Coco wants to do is take people off the streets grab them and throw them into a quarantine camp for any good reason. That's right, New York uber alice! The senator says New York's executive branch is overreaching by trying to implement this rule according to him the state's proposed rule is basically a copy of a previous proposal which didn't get any support from state lawmakers and thus didn't become law but what they have essentially said is if the legislature isn't going to make this law we will So it's a very clear violation of separation of powers. The lead attorney in the case points out a few things in the state's rule which she says are against the law According to their rule, you would not get an attorney until after your locked up or after your lockdown but you also wouldn't get notice Which means that the Department of Health could show up at your door Or they could send the police with an order that you need to isolate or quarantine And it could be no just for you It could be for your child

2:10:03 Meanwhile, the state argues that its proposed rule only clarifies existing law. Supporters of the rules say quarantine measures are being used in states around the US and have been used for centuries. Wow! I'm gonna give you a clip of the day for that sequence. Wow! That's borderline upsetting only because i have a stepdaughter in New York They could grab her and throw her in the camp. This is part of the international health regulations, I'm telling you this they want so much control just like this nut job in New Mexico under health regulations once bans guns... It's bad! Health regulation oh no we got to lock you up luckily there is one sane voice among the sea of horrible people

CHAPTER 34 / 47 Discussion

Fran Drescher, SAG-AFTRA, Vaccine Mandates

SAG-AFTRA President Fran Drescher released a statement defending members who lost their livelihoods due to vaccine mandates. While she is vaccinated herself, Drescher argued that "body sovereignty" and the Freedom of Religion Act must be protected, warning that fear should not turn into fascism. She applauded Disney for ending vaccine mandates on their sets and called for an end to "us versus them" discrimination.

fran drescher· sag-aftra· vaccine mandates· disney· body sovereignty

2:10:56 And that's Fran Drescher. And I knew I liked her, and I like her even more after seeing this on Instagram. As the president of SAG-AFTRA it has been my obligation to follow the board's decision to support the employers privilege to vaccine mandate productions as they so pleased As Fran Drescher, as well as the president of SAG-AFTRA I have been outspoken publicly. As well as with my board and executive director in defense of those members who are unvaccinated for a myriad of reasons and as a consequence has lost their livelihoods their representation and their health benefits

2:11:46 The reason that there are so many prescriptive drugs at the pharmacy is because there isn't one kind that works for everyone. Every human on the planet can take one vaccine is ludicrous. To make that one vaccine, the criteria for who is allowed to work travel dine go to theater etc., Is an infringement on the Disabilities Act, The Freedom of Religion Act and body sovereignty We as a nation must be very careful that fear does not turn into fascism.

2:12:30 When equal citizens stop being equal, when cards must be presented to identify whether you are included or excluded. We stand at a tipping point of an America I no longer recognize and even though I myself am vaccinated, I must applaud Disney for taking the position not to vaccine mandate their sets any longer The problem with discrimination is that there will always be good people who justify it because of an extreme condition. But it is those times especially when we must fight even harder to protect the sanctity of freedom for all, never succumbed to an us versus them mentality above all else

2:13:27 Freedom. Peace." I like that! No, she's always been against the mandatory vaccines Yeah but she brought in a lot of other stuff She brought in the cards and the others and that was good She got a target on her back now but that was good Oh she's gonna be... VOTER OUT! Now I think she just got re-elected I don't think she did this before her reelection That would be crazy No, I like that. A sane voice and she threw in a little nanny! That's ludicrous! She threw in a little nanny there! Yeah she did break it. And you know what else I like? Saying to you... In the morning The man who just put the sea into quarantine camps Ladies and gentlemen say hello to my friend on the other end The one and only Mr John C DeVore

Show Production, Troll Room, Modern Podcast Apps

The hosts discuss the interactive "Troll Room" and the use of modern podcasting apps like Podverse to receive live stream alerts. They emphasize their presence on the Fediverse via No Agenda Social and criticize mainstream social media platforms. The segment serves as a transition into the show's administrative and community participation section.

2:15:06 trolls and you too can be a part of that by going to trollroom.io we send out a bat signal before we actually when we're playing the fat lady before the show I know politically incorrect but she's fat she sings, we have her um and also you can get an alert on a modern podcast app dump all those old ones i'm telling you now they're all gonna be controlled eventually if they already are but it's just gonna get worse podcastapps.com we recommend today Podverse because it will give you an alert when we fire up that bad signal. So far, it's the only one that has done that but a lot of them have the live stream and of course you can jump into Troll Room as well And you can follow us on noagendasocial.com if you want which is still the outpost on the Fediverse, The Mastodon

2:15:55 Yeah, we used to be able to follow journalists on Macedon. They're all gone they all left their blue sky We're still the outposts the holdouts The holdouts of freeze peach at no agenda social comm followed John C Dvorak and origin the social calm Adam and what huh? What ha what ha ah what what that's I was just thinking about is noticing that the phone was disconnected in a way That is not but I expected Wow, okay. Huh indeed Thank you for listening to my rant there I appreciate that it was good rent yeah You notice we don't have any people coming on telling us to be you know To with big pitches on getting the Vax or any other kinds of corporate creepy corporate money that slides in no

CHAPTER 36 / 47 Discussion

Value-for-Value Model, Episode Artwork, Dame Kenny Ben

The hosts explain the "Value-for-Value" funding model, which eschews traditional advertising in favor of listener contributions. They review the artwork for the current and previous episodes, specifically praising Dame Kenny Ben for her "Bama pencil" drawing. The segment includes a review of the artist leaderboard and a call for new art submissions.

value-for-value· podcast art· kenny ben· bama pencil· leaderboard

2:16:50 No, in fact we haven't taken a break for over two hours. Whereas if you were listening to the radio you'd have heard at least 20 minutes times 40 minutes of commercials none of that We didn't ask you to go to a Patreon for some premium content all the premium is right here up front there's nothing that you can't get to for free We do think it's valuable and we appreciate that if you feel value has been received on your end, you send that back to us with time talent or treasure. Many ways you can do this! You can tell someone about the show. That's a... hitting people in the mouth is a big part of it. You can also create jingles get clips to us do boots on the ground so many ways you can participate

2:17:34 One of the things we love the most is very talented artists. These artists listen to the show live, they're one of those 1902 people today and they are trying to come up with outstanding artwork that will fit perfectly with this episode because The Mueller Report shows that a good piece of art gets people interested reminds them that we are the best podcast in the universe because we have the best podcast art in the universe And we'd like to thank the artist who brought us the artwork for episode 1589. Misidentified, I might point out in my opening of the last show as 1598 for some reason. Oh! Interesting blunder. Yeah, I'm from the future and... From the past? No, 1598. Oh, 1590. 98 yeah. It's from the future. I'm 10 episodes in the future. Dyslexic Future Exactly

2:18:29 The artwork came to us from Kenny Ben, Dame Kenny Ben. And she brought us... and exactly as you predicted John some people thought it was about the football match this was the Bama pencil very short stubby thin pencil with Bama on it. Yeah a lot of people- Bow crimson tied A lot of people thought it was about that many people realized there was about the donation segment on the last show of which one complained Only one complaint, I was surprised. You saw it? I wasn't! I thought there would be many more only one complaint and that... I think it's because there was only one guy listening It was a she The only one guy listening Oh yes, I got that note Yeah But she said she just turned off the donation segment and then she came back so That's good news I understand why that was harsh it was tough to listen too

2:19:25 There were a number of choices that we could make. We had to make one, of course So we thank all the artists let's see what we were looking at What do we have to work with this was your fave this one right off the bat? It was my fav Yes, no doubt There's a lot of Kennedy's playing tennis which is funny yeah a few cheesecake things here and there Obama big Mike The big mic thing. It's not gonna happen? No, it's not going to happen There really wasn't a lot of comp... I mean there wasn't anything that Really stuck out Wanted to use No That was going to work No

2:20:04 No. I did like correct a record who had a guy holding up a sign saying, Obama's dong is more interesting than clips about Africa that was funny message... That was just the message to you? Wasn't really your submission at all Was it meant as art Who else used to do that all the time? I don't know There was another artist that used to send us messages by turning in an art with a note somebody holding a note which was complaining about something Uh..I don't remember who that was but its okay Sir Net-Net did a Trans Maoist thing. I mean, it was... It's... I think that you want something like what I liked about Dame Kenny Benz is you didn't have to hear the show to know that something was up and it was mysterious because is it Obama as in Alabama? Is it Obama as an Obama? You know, it popped! Really popped! It was a hand drawn pencil. It wasn't a picture of it wasn't clip art

2:21:03 So it was, I thought it was a very good piece. I really loved it. Sir NetNet threw in a freeze peach but no one will get that and JconSketch did a sketch but nope... No, no, I like you doing sketches but that wasn't the one so clearly Dame Kenny Ben she for the win how are we on the leaderboard? Where's Dame Kenny Ben? She's number five Number five for the past year of the top ten. That's pretty good Nesswork still number one, Tantaniel number two Capless Agenda number three Nico Syme number four and there she is Dame Kenny Bemm number five Thank you to all of our artists for really giving it the yeomans try But only one can win and we're happy to credit that artist in our shown us which we do diligently Thank You again Dame Kenny Bemm now

Library Book Removal, Missouri, Textbook Comparison

A listener report from Grandview, Missouri, reveals that a local library removed all books published before 2005, mirroring the trend observed in Canada. The librarian reportedly stated that classics would only be kept if they were newer editions. The discussion highlights the loss of historical context, such as the ability to compare changes in textbooks over time.

Massachusetts Migrant Housing, Hotel Seizures, Wedding Disruptions

In Massachusetts, Governor Maura Healey reportedly seized hotel rooms to house migrants, leading to the cancellation of existing reservations for a wedding party over Columbus Day weekend. The "boots on the ground" report describes the situation as a nightmare for local residents and travelers. The incident is cited as an example of state overreach in managing the migrant crisis.

They'll sell your books for 50 cents or $1. The books are taken off the shelves But in the case of like the University of California, for example those books have all been scanned.

Governor Healey just seized the hotel to house migrants, so they have lost their reservations there's nowhere else to stay on top of it all the hotels that are housing migrants are having fires assaults etc It's a nightmare thank you for your courage Alex. A nightmare? You think?! Man, I... Well that sucks. It's an outrage. You're trying to do a wedding and then they did... It is an outrage actually. Update from one of our many mail carriers as we've learned throughout the years mail carriers who work for the USPS they love listening to podcasts because that's what you do when you're pushing around delivering mail now we know there have been problems with their new fangled systems for pay

CHAPTER 44 / 47 Discussion

USPS Pay Issues, Zero Dollar Paychecks, Strike Clause

Mail carriers for the United States Postal Service are reporting significant payroll errors, with some receiving "zero dollar" paychecks. Despite record revenue claims by management, carriers are prohibited from striking by a non-government strike clause. The discussion emphasizes the constitutional importance of the postal service and the financial hardship these errors cause for employees.

usps· mail carriers· payroll· strike· constitution

3:00:31 and this mail carrier sent me a copy of his pay stub that says zero dollars. Last pay period, 50% of carriers reported not being paid correctly many had problems with management's quick fix money orders weren't being recognized by banks and had delays or the wrong number values inputted banks thought they were fake This pay period there were at least 15 percent reporting that this check is missing It goes back to my email about the union being mad that the carriers wanted to do a new union, yet every day on the scanners we use the USPS brags of record revenue profit and there's a non-government strike clause which would send employees to jail if they strike over being paid zero dollars. But of course late fees rack up for mortgage and credit cards and no one cares our mail carriers are in trouble! They're trying to get rid of The United Postal Service

3:01:25 It's the backbone of the country. It is in the Constitution, one of the few things that is actually required to be in existence as opposed to the Department of Education, as you mentioned earlier and in fact I do have some Vivek going off-the-rails clips about him wanting to get rid of a bunch of employees and this is the most ludicrous commentary. This is not, I mean it's maybe you can get a vote or two but this is pipe dream but you have to listen to these Vivek Ramaswamy clips Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy is laying out his plan that cut the federal government and the laws to back him up he says hit start by cutting federal employees by 75% and shutting down several agencies

CHAPTER 45 / 47 Discussion

Vivek Ramaswamy, Federal Workforce Cuts, FBI Abolition

Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy proposed a plan to cut the federal workforce by 75% and abolish several agencies, including the FBI and the Department of Education. Ramaswamy cited the 1977 Reorganization Act as the legal basis for a president to consolidate or eliminate agencies. His rhetorical style is compared to that of a southern preacher as he campaigns on a platform of restoring the constitutional republic.

3:02:17 Oh, well. All right good hey I'm all in on Vivek now! Alright make that happen buddy! Come on! 75% That's millions Every one of these bullshit artists they come in They promise us that they don't cut it one person You can take that to the bank There you go let's play part two People who we elect to run the government ought to be The Ones who actually run the government. Speaking at the America First Policy Institute on Wednesday, Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy said the balance of power in America has changed over the years. Three-letter government agencies

3:02:58 that wield the most political power in the federal government despite having the least political accountability through unelected bureaucrats who have no backstop of actually being accountable to the public. And he laid forth his plans restore the Constitutional Republic taking aim at the size of the federal workforce as well as certain government agencies First, it will be a plan reduces the size of the federal employee headcount by over 75% if I'm the next president, by the end of my first term. 50 percent of which is implementable by the end of year one." Some would argue that the President doesn't have that power but Ramaswamy said that's only a myth

3:03:42 And he read from the 1977 Reorganization Act, which says the president does indeed have that authority. To reduce the number of agencies by consolidating those having similar functions under a single head and to abolish That's not my word. That is a word in the statute to abolish such agencies or functions thereof. Ramaswamy said he'd start with the FBI and he cited information about the bureau from the Pulitzer Prize winning book, G-Man The same one that used illegally collected tapes to threaten Martin Luther King Jr into committing suicide they tried to do is now being used to target political opponents of different persuasion

3:04:29 You know he's picked up the cadence of a southern preacher. Yes! Have you noticed this? Yes, good catch I agree He has got that very precise again I use the word precise pronunciation of certain words ending with hard sounds and it just sounds like a preacher and he is sounding more like a preacher than he has ever sounded before especially in these clips I think there is one left Yes, there is. And he explained what shutting down the bureau which has about 35 thousand employees would look like They're going to go home when we shut it down and find honest work in the private sector But 15 thousand of those employees are going to be reorganized into the US Marshals Into the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network at the U.S Treasury Into other parts, the DEA that are taking on

3:05:18 the drug enforcement, the drug enforcement problems that we have in this country. He also said he had shut down the Department of Education This is an agency that spends approximately an $80 billion budget per year telling local schools they can't get those federal funds unless they adopt racial and gender ideologies. Some of the other departments Ramaswamy said he had shut down are the ATF and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Well at least he's spicing things up! Boy, swinging for the fences with this one What does he remind you? He kind of reminds me in a way

3:06:02 He reminds me of somebody I can't quite figure. Well, he reminds me of a number number of southern preachers Well yeah there's that there's that that you know Fredericksburg is actually kind of interesting They have a tax increase that's being voted on Tuesday and man people are gonna go. They're gonna go to the council meeting because of property tax? Yeah, it's property tax. It's supposed to be Inflation plus increase in population is way above that. And people are, you know... because I think the main a big revenue source for people in Fredericksburg is B&Bs

3:06:47 You know, so they have a second home and you know they're being priced out of it. Of being able to provide that? Yes the... That's not just Fredericksburg believe me No no it's not but I live here and It's fun to watch because people are taking it to their city council And thats what has to happen everywhere! You gotta do local stuff You know, instead of going on X and complaining. Complaining on x. It's so fair I don't like it is not good all right well that was good i don't actually am out of clips? I mean anything worthwhile unless you got something that we can... Well I've got the clips about the White House pushing back on the impeachment which we didn't talk about at all yeah but I do have one clip that's good okay this because this is a galling clip

CHAPTER 46 / 47 Discussion

California Reparations Poll, Task Force Recommendations, Two-Spirit Voting

A UC Berkeley poll shows that 59% of California voters oppose cash reparations for descendants of enslaved people, despite the state's Reparations Task Force recommending $225 billion in payments. While voters acknowledge the legacy of slavery, there is little support for direct cash transfers. The discussion also touches on the potential for new voting blocs, such as "two-spirit" individuals, in future elections.

3:07:37 It turns out that Californians don't really want to pay reparations to every black ex-ADOS, you know one time slave. No of course not! When California wasn't even a slave state... But let's play the reparations clip. They all they went all in when it was you know virtue signaling but now it's like hey, let's have a vote! Most Californians are against cash reparations for residents who are descended from slaves A recent poll reveals that conservatives are pretty united in the opposition while liberals are mixed. NTT's Eileen Eng has more

3:08:14 According to a recent poll by UC Berkeley's Institute of Governmental Studies, or IGS the majority of California voters are opposed to cash reparations payments to black residents. 59% of voters oppose the State Reparation Task Force recommendation to make cash payments to the descendants of enslaved blacks currently living in California Of those who opposed, 44% are strongly against the idea. Democrats and liberals were divided while Republicans and conservatives were nearly unanimous in their opposition. However most voters agree that the legacy of slavery is affecting the position of black Californians

3:08:53 According to the IGS co-director, while many can empathize with the plight of Black Americans not all of these feelings will translate into support for policies that address longstanding racial harms. In 2020 Governor Gavin Newsom created the nation's first reparations task force to calculate the costs of slavery and racism and how to make up to black Californians In July, the task force proposed over a hundred recommendations in a 1,000-page document. It also recommends the state pay over $225 billion in reparations." Whoa! That's the problem. All virtue signaling... all dishonest. Totally and why don't the states that actually had slaves? I'm looking at you North Carolina

3:09:42 Cough up some dough. Why are we stuck with the bill? No, that ain't working. That's not flying. No no they're gonna start handing out money to LGBTQ2 spirits. That's the new voting bloc. That's the one go big Mike 2024! Hey does a two-spirit person get 2 checks? Not only that they get 2 votes. Seems likely... Now there's something Year 2 spirit, you get to vote twice. Mm-hmm. Of course in California they've always been voting twice Yes we know D's last with Matty J coming up along with Sir TJ the Wrathful on our end of show mixes great job boys Live next on noagendastream.com or in the troll room if your trollroom.io or a modern podcast app We've got Planet Rage Episode 94 make sure you stay tuned for that and
