About this episode

President Joe Biden and the White House issued a formal retraction after claiming to have seen photographic evidence of beheaded children in Israel, a narrative originally sparked by i24 News reporter Nicole Zedek. This debunked 'babies on bayonets' trope serves as a psychological anchor for what Ambassador Tzipi Hotovly and Admiral James Stavridis describe as a population-adjusted 9/11 event. The framing of the Hamas-Israel conflict as a struggle between democracy and barbarism is being utilized to manufacture consent for a massive regional reconfiguration.

Secondary narratives involve the suspension of U.S. Special Envoy Robert Malley amid an Iranian influence scandal and the deployment of a naval carrier strike group to the Mediterranean as a deterrent. National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby admitted that Ukraine funding is reaching the end of the rope, while NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg warned of Article 5 implications following damage to undersea infrastructure between Finland and Estonia. Meanwhile, EU Industry Chief Thierry Breton has leveraged the Digital Services Act to demand that Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg purge non-approved content, resulting in over 137,000 takedowns per hour. Domestically, Senator Bob Menendez faces new bribery allegations involving Egyptian officials, and the National Archives revealed 19,000 emails connecting Joe Biden’s vice-presidential office to Hunter Biden’s business associates.

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak deconstruct the 'liquidity event' of modern warfare while mocking the absurdity of John Kirby’s claim that climate change remains a greater threat than nuclear war. The duo examines the rise of 'techno-feudalism' with Yanis Varoufakis and dismisses Maria Ressa’s warnings of an AI-enabled Armageddon as a plea for more digital guardrails. Between knighting ceremonies and listener feedback on 'Zionist biases,' the hosts provide a cynical look at the military-industrial complex's latest spending justifications.

Robert O'Brien and Benjamin Netanyahu on Middle East Reconfiguration

Former National Security Advisor Robert O'Brien appears on Sean Hannity's program to discuss Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's response to recent attacks. O'Brien asserts that Netanyahu intends to fundamentally reconfigure the Middle East. The segment highlights the use of emotive language regarding civilian casualties to frame the conflict as a struggle against barbarism.

robert o'brien· benjamin netanyahu· sean hannity· middle east· israel

01:30 And here we go. This is, this starts with this clip which is a Hannity show he brings it some Trump stew John and he begins with this. Joining us now former National Security Advisor Robert O'Brien is with us when Bibi Netanyahu says that they will strike with the force that would be remembered for generations I've known Prime Minister Netanyahu now for almost three decades. Um, I'm pretty much 100% certain he means what he says when he says the Middle East will be reconfigured as a result of this evil attack on their homeland. I believe he means it. What are your thoughts? Well, I know Bibi well also Sean and I think he means what he says in look, he's got no choice. I mean if anyone who wants to know that whether evil exists in the world

02:21 Just need to look at the top of your monologue and hear about the babies being killed. I mean, what kind of person goes house-to-house and beheads babies? These aren't civilians who were killed collaterally in a military attack. These were civilians who are wantonly slaughtered. This isn't war this is barbarism." I think that's the new thing to be able to say now if you're on television it's like i know BB well I know BB well. I know BB. I met BB. You met BB? Yeah, Bibi Newharth the actress. Okay All right, next up in your disparate clips. Now we go to Cuomo calling out Hamas! Nobody wants to see pictures of mutilated children I promise you that Well yeah we actually would like to see it just know this real Yeah actually I'd like to see it too Because its only the news guy The real pictures are not photoshopped ones or AI However reality should not be shied away because is what's driving the understanding of this situation

CHAPTER 03 / 51 Discussion

Chris Cuomo Reports from Israel on Hamas and Captives

Journalist Chris Cuomo reports from the region, emphasizing the brutality of Hamas and the distinction between traditional hostages and those captured during the assault. The hosts contrast Cuomo's narrative with Al Jazeera footage showing the release of an Israeli woman and two children. They criticize Western media for failing to report Palestinian denials of specific atrocities.

chris cuomo· hamas· gaza· al jazeera· israel

03:22 People in America especially have a misguided connection between the plight of Palestinians, which is real. The suffering there which is real and going on right now people are dying in Gaza because of Israel's necessary retaliation I'm sure kids were involved there too Innocents were involved there to you should be seeing the pictures To drive the intensity of the purpose here and we have to remember that That our urgency is on those who were captured not hostages Not hostages. Hostages are people who are taken for security and they are negotiated These people were captured They're being mutilated They're being brutalized in ways that very few people have seen in this region in a long long time And remember it is on Hamas

04:15 to counteract what I just said. It is on Hamas to come forward and say, no we're holding them humanely because we want protection against what Israel is doing because we want to negotiate because we want to be taken seriously this is on Hamas. Hamas loves to talk they're putting out videos all over the internet of complete barbarism and savagery they have said not one word about treating these people as human beings And they have given us all the evidence and understanding that they are treating them worse than dogs. Okay, yes let's spin people up this is good Well you know it took me all of five minutes to find out that Hamas had said plenty

04:59 I guess he didn't have the time to do it because he's flying over there wants to hang out. Let's play this region Cuomo is in the region yes He went there because it's a in the region thing. It's called in the region Yeah, he's in the region B. Is in Israel but as northern Israel seems to me in the region It's a region. So here is Hamas Palestinian denials. Kazan Brigades has broadcasted video that shows the release of three captives, and the video shows an Israeli woman and two children near the Holot Kibbutz near Gaza They were said to have been released shortly after being captured by Hamas on Saturday. Hamas sources say the video refutes what they called false Israeli allegations that Hamas fighters killed women and children

05:44 The video follows an earlier statement by the group that said, Some Western media outlets continue to spread Zionist slander and lies about our Palestinian people and their resistance which falsely and slanderously promoted allegations that members of the Palestinian resistance beheaded children and assaulted women without any evidence to support their lies and claims. Hamas strongly condemns the baseless allegations. And that's on Al Jazeera, so that's more official than it would be on X which is probably all Cuomo was looking at which what everybody... I don't know what Cuomo was looking at took me five minutes to find that clip and this is and Hamas had made these statements earlier way before he came off into yaktin yak but this is the problem you have is that our media is just not good

06:38 You're right. Yes, you're right! And if you listen to the... I mean I didn't clip it because they got too many clips already on this and spread their cut and you know you can well let me jump into into some beheaded baby clips. I want to mention one thing To listen to Judge Jeanine and these others on the five, Judge Jeanine is back to her bomb them bomb them bomb them again. Oh really? It's fascinating I didn't clip it maybe i'll clip it for Sunday but she's just off the rails And but is she about bombing because back in the day that was um... Al Qaeda

CHAPTER 04 / 51 Discussion

Nicole Zedek and the Debunked Beheaded Babies Narrative

The viral report by i24 News journalist Nicole Zedek regarding 40 beheaded babies is examined and scrutinized for its lack of primary evidence. Zedek later clarified that her report was based on statements from Israeli soldiers rather than personal observation. The hosts compare this narrative to historical war propaganda, such as the "babies on bayonets" stories from World War I and the Viking era.

nicole zedek· i24 news· beheaded babies· journalism· propaganda

07:21 Yes. Bomb them, bomb them and bomb them again! Now she made the statement and again like I said i got too many clips already but i'll tell you what she says... She said they're coming here Oh yeah well okay let me that's- You're moving too fast First we gotta now that the beheaded baby story which has apparently already been debunked by the journalist who wrote about it, who said I didn't really write about it. I wanted to clarify...I did not tweet! Which is by the way what journalism are we performing here? What kind of journalism is this?! I did not tweet 40 babies had been beheaded. I tweeted that foreign media had been told women and children have been decapitated but we had not been shown bodies which was my response to reports which had gone viral about the forty babies

08:15 Also this number 40 is interesting. I realized the way my tweet was written...I don't know, 40 days? 40 nights? It's all biblical stuff. Oh yeah, Arabian Nights! Yeah which is...I realize the way my tweet was written was too short to explain the full context so I deleted it alright now but this went quite viral Of course, I mean we've seen this at the end of show mix you'll even hear some historical examples. No one of the end of show mixes is dynamite! We had the babies on bayonets, we had the babies in incubators that they threw on the floor and this is just a new twist... This is Nicole Zedek from... By the way, the babies on bayonet's actually go... You should mention this because I never mentioned it on the show before but when you study

09:01 world history, this was the same baby stories that were told during the Vikings' invasions of Northern Europe. It was the, they were told that the Vikings came in and grabbed the babies and then threw them in the air. And then caught them with their, with their spears. Their horns on there on their anus. No one heard about the horns but the spears, they speared him! The babies flying through the air so this is not a new complaint? No no it's a true-and-tried tactic which works incredibly well So here's the same Nicole Zetik who tweeted X'd she slashed

09:40 Soldiers told me they believe 40 babies slash children were killed. The exact death toll is still unknown as the military continues to go house-to-house and find more Israeli casualties, I24 News so here's her report David it's hard to even explain exactly just the mass casualties that happened right here in fact the Israeli military says they still don't have a clear number but i'm talking to some of the soldiers and they say what they've witnessed as they've been walking through these different houses these different communities babies, their heads cut off. That's what they said. Gunned down families completely gunned down in their beds

10:19 You can see some of these soldiers right now comforting each other. Many of them reserves who jumped into action, leaving their own families behind as well not knowing the sheer horror that they were about to come too. They say they've never experienced anything like this is nothing that anyone could have even imagined when you're walking through here baby cribs thrown to There you go, so she actually didn't say that she had seen it herself It's what soldiers told her but that was enough That was enough and you know it doesn't matter what Nicole said XS because our president saw evidence proof He saw with his own eyes. I just came to basically I really mean from the bottom my heart I give him my word as a Biden Thank You there you go thank you for the intensity of your support it matters

CHAPTER 05 / 51 Discussion

Joe Biden Retracts Claims of Seeing Atrocity Photos

President Joe Biden claimed during a roundtable with Jewish leaders to have seen confirmed pictures of terrorists beheading children. The White House later issued a formal clarification stating that neither the President nor administration officials had actually seen such images. The administration clarified that Biden was referring to public media reports and claims made by Israeli officials.

joe biden· white house· hamas· israel· misinformation

11:07 It matters that Americans see what's happening. I mean, I've been doing this a long time. I never really thought that I would see and have confirmed pictures of terrorists beheading children." Alright so he saw it with his own eyes! Confirmed! It's confirmed people! And then when he lies he always goes into this... Anyway, anyway. Now to get the actual report that you will probably maybe maybe the five we'll talk about it but the White House jumped into immediate

11:53 crisis mode because, oh no no he didn't quite mean that. Now we have some latest updates coming in from the US a White House spokesperson has given an official clarification as reported by U.S media that neither President Joe Biden nor the White House administration has seen any pictures or verified and reports of children beheaded by Hamas Earlier, during a roundtable with leaders from the Jewish community Biden had mentioned seeing the confirmed pictures of militants beheading children. The official clarified though that the president's remarks were quote unquote referring to public comments from media outlets and Israeli officials. Oh okay all right please he's an old man he's senile so don't you get it? And at this point I think the international press is like yeah we get it okay oh he made a mistake

CHAPTER 06 / 51 Discussion

Israel-Hamas Conflict as a Media Distraction and 9/11 Parallel

The hosts analyze the Israel-Hamas war as a "liquidity event" and a distraction from domestic issues like the Hunter Biden investigation. They observe the media's immediate framing of the event as "Israel's 9/11" to build public support for military action. This comparison is viewed as a psychological tactic to mirror the lead-up to the Iraq War.

hunter biden· 9/11· gaza· media spin· propaganda

12:42 Very, very bad. What kind of a mistake? I saw it with my own eyes! Confirmed. As predicted we got some emails and i just want to reiterate that we're not, I mean we don't really care one way or the other about this particular stuff. It's fun to debunk it and take a helicopter view but this is not about who did what to whom What we are trained to do is look at how everybody is being spun up and programmed against each other In fact arguing against each other is part of the point Distraction

13:31 Which is beautiful because we don't hear about Hunter, don't hear about him anymore. No! Hunter's out of the news Look at the Gaza border not your border uh-uh We got a war president now that's good for elections you never want to change a winning team You know we've been spun up to believe that tomorrow October 13th attacks in America attacks in America it's gonna happen everywhere this is where Judge Jeanine gets as she probably on the same hill country lady text text tree that I've been seeing, but really it's all recall. And even just saying 9-11! That it doesn't matter who you are even the crackpot and the buzzkill have oh we get images, you know where you were at that moment 9 11 9 11 9 11 this is Israel's 9 11 and so that means a plan what

14:22 Why is it January 6th? It's worse than 9-11. It was funny the last time, and now you're just spiking the ball. I repeat my material once in a while. Now you're just spiking the ball because it was genius! So the plan unfolds and there... A reminder After 9-11, on 9-11 Osama Bin Laden. Osama bin Laden. Osama bin Laden. Oh yes, Osama bin Laden Afghanistan I mean no Iraq Iraq aluminum tubes yellow cake the New York Times lied The government lied to get everyone agrees i think now that we were lied too to get us into Into iraq which is not where osama came from

CHAPTER 07 / 51 Discussion

Ambassador Tzipi Hotovly Compares Conflict to Ten Times 9/11

Israeli Ambassador to the UK, Tzipi Hotovly, describes the current conflict as a battle between good and evil, representing democracy against terror. She utilizes a population-adjusted statistic to claim the attack is equivalent to "ten times 9/11" for Israel. The hosts identify this as a coordinated meme designed to resonate with Western audiences.

tzipi hotovly· 9/11· israel· united kingdom· international community

15:06 But of course it was a genius liquidity event of some 20 trillion dollars I think over twenty years. It was a lot, wasn't it? 20 trillion by whistle. I think if you look it up it may even be more than 20 trillions. No. Okay, I'll consult the book of knowledge while we listen to the Israeli ambassador to the UK Because it's not just 9-11. Oh no. This is our obligation, our first obligation to fight back and to make sure Hamas will never have the ability to act against Israelis Ambassador Tzipi Hatovly how are you at responding to the fact that this is really creating a whole host of tensions around the world?

15:46 that have become sort of ethnically focused on both sides. It really has erupted debates and protests and anger on both sides. How would you like to angle the conversation to be able to foster something more productive? I think that this is time to fight, and to defend the people of Israel. And I think whoever saw the fact that a thousand Israelis were killed in cold blood I cannot speak now about both sides. There is one side here who's the side that wants freedom, democracy, cares about human rights, cares about people's life which is the Israeli side and there is the other side this is good versus evil we need to fight it It's a terror organization recognized in the US and in the UK And you know many people are comparing to 9-11

16:34 And I heard many people that are making the equivalent numbers with the proportion when you think about Israel as a tiny country just 9 million people. It's actually 10 times of 911 This is the time to support Israel, The international community should understand it's ten times 911 and then this comparison capita they're trying no but that came out right away sir Brian of London he immediately I mean it was put into his head and I'm not disputing That this isn't, you know that this is the same vibe because yeah in Israel everybody knows everybody. They're all related as by their own admission but the 9-11 meme? Ah that's a good one we gotta play that up let's bring in James Stavridis Admiral Joining us now with more former Supreme Allied Commander of NATO Supreme Allied Commander I'm sorry Admiral James Get his honorifics right Stavridis

CHAPTER 08 / 51 Discussion

Admiral James Stavridis and the Math of Population Adjustment

Admiral James Stavridis, former Supreme Allied Commander of NATO, joins the media narrative by performing "population math" to equate Israeli casualties to 35,000 Americans. The hosts criticize these analogies, arguing that the tactical nature of the events—raiding a dance party versus hijacking planes—makes the 9/11 comparison inaccurate. They suggest the Las Vegas shooting is a more apt tactical parallel.

james stavridis· nato· 9/11· population adjustment· terrorism

17:30 where to start here, Admiral? I mean... Oh yeah. You take hostages It's the same it's exactly the same tone as 9-11 they have they the news media flips right into it no problem and it's normal because they've been told ten times worse than 9 11 You bring them back to Gaza and you put them in civilian areas, and you surround yourself with civilians. And then you threaten Israelis if there's any bombing where civilians are injured, you start executing hostages. That is what Netanyahu is supposed to do when he hears something like that

18:09 Well, you start by calling all of this what it is which is terrorism. These are acts of terror. This is akin to the 9-11 attack and just a lot of people hear some of these numbers You know there have been hundreds of Israelis killed and there are 150 hostages To put that in context Joe for an American you have to do the math of population adjustment. So if you have, for example a thousand Israelis killed I think it'll be well north that ultimately that's like 35,000 Americans killed on an equivalent 9-11 day

18:47 And by the way, on 9-11 there weren't hostages. So let's say there are 100 hostages that would be 9-11 in the United States with 3500 hostages so you're right. Someone yesterday said it was like Nagasaki I think it was Jonathan Greenblatt on another network It wasn't like 9-11 It was almost like if you do the math Yeah, do the math Okay You know, I want to say a couple of things First of all, the 9-11 analogy is bad That was four guys. They took this stole some planes and blew up it pretty much took out a building, you know one-shot deal there weren't people in the streets they weren't raiding a dance party and shooting up that they did I mean it would there was that was a massacre where the 260 kids were killed It's it seems more like a extended version of you know The shooter in Las Vegas when they just started picking off poor

19:42 innocence that we're at a dance, the country and Western dance. The 9-11 thing just eludes me. No really? It eludes you seriously?! There's absolutely so little to do with 9-11 it's just the use of the term and if the whole thing bothers me is not as though number of people weren't killed and that's bad enough. John, why are we going through the massive trouble of equating it to this and that? And making stuff up and making it worse than it already is because... It's just beyond me! Oh what's not beyond me at all?! It's clear as day by the way Brown University says the cost of the 20-year war was eight trillion dollars okay

CHAPTER 09 / 51 Discussion

Mohammed Deif and the Hamas Military Mastermind Narrative

Media outlets like France 24 are profiling Mohammed Deif, the elusive leader of the Al Qassam Brigades, drawing parallels to Osama bin Laden. Reports emphasize his history of surviving assassination attempts and his current status as a "one-eyed, one-legged" mastermind living in hiding. The hosts predict he will eventually be linked to Iran to justify further escalation.

mohammed deif· hamas· al qassam brigades· osama bin laden· france 24

20:26 8 trillion. No, the whole point is playbook that's the whole point we got to do it all over again we know where it leads we know who leads Iran thats its obvious thats always been in play it'll probably go first to Hezbollah and which would be Lebanon and we have to get everyone into that mode 9-11 9-11 We need money! We need money! Money money money money We have an Osama bin Laden. It is so unbelievably close to the original 9-11 story, it's crazy This is one of the only known photos of Mohammed Daieff It dates from 1989 when he was 24 years old Years before he became Hamas' military mastermind

21:13 He lives in hiding in Gaza. His face hasn't been seen publicly in years, but according to Israeli reports he's being heard speaking about the weekend attacks on Israel. Remember when we only had cave audio from Osama bin Laden? Oh yes, we have audio from him in the cave giving the instructions which he had no idea what he was saying. We only have audio of Mohamed Dayef. He's been seen publicly in years but according to Israeli reports he has been heard speaking about the weekend attacks on Israel released by Hamas. Dayef has led Hamas' military wing, the Al Qassam Brigades for two decades

21:58 As seen in this 2003 report by French TV network France Télévision, he was already in hiding. We the fighters of the Al Qassam Brigades confirm there will be no negotiations with Israel or the US Even before he commanded the brigades, Dayef led a wave of suicide bombings that killed dozens of Israelis. Then under his leadership Hamas switched its primary tactic to cross-border rocket attacks from Gaza Now Dayef has escalated these indiscriminate attacks into a multi pronged assault directly targeting Israeli civilians in their own homes

22:39 They were at an impasse. They saw that their old methods weren't working and they also realized that by doing this, they succeed in creating terror, creating a huge psychological effect. Over the years, Daieff has survived multiple attempts on his life. in previous Israeli assassination attempts from 2001 onwards. There are reports that he has lost an eye, there are reports that he has lost at least one limb." Earlier this week Israeli airstrikes hit Mohamed Dayef's family home reportedly killing several of his immediate relatives. Dayef exact location is unknown

23:20 I'm gonna bet you he shows up in Iran. I'm just, I'm just gonna guess that that might be a good place for this guy his profile hasn't been spun up enough yet This is France 24 but a one-eyed one legged bandit like Osama bin Laden is a step above I mean this is really taking it all the way You watch this guy be played up It's exactly the same script as 9 11 and now we have to continue to create strife inside our own countries. We have to make sure that we're all yelling, if you're not for this group you're horrible if you're not for that group your horrible bring on the ADL on MSNBC what a match made in heaven! The thing that's so challenging and vexing about this is people are saying well could this escalate into a wider war? It

Jonathan Greenblatt and ADL Criticism of Campus Anti-Zionism

ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt appears on MSNBC to condemn the rise of anti-Zionism on college campuses, specifically referencing student groups at Harvard. Greenblatt frames the conflict as a failure of the West to confront Iranian proxies and compares current rhetoric to the poison of the Third Reich. He argues that blaming Israel for the attacks is disgraceful and disrupts regional peace efforts with Saudi Arabia.

jonathan greenblatt· adl· harvard· iran· anti-zionism

24:10 It is a war. This is Al-Qaeda from, from Al Qaeda to ISIS to Hamas. Is this what Islamic radicalism jihadism looks like? Again it doesn't seek a peaceful resolution of a conflict. This was not some inevitable outcome. This was a preplanned massacre and how did they send thousands of missiles into Israel because they were supplied by Iran and we'll ask those questions. We will wonder about how- This is Jonathan Greenblatt, the CEO of the Anti-Defamation League. How that failure happened but I saw David Ignatius whose journalism i so deeply respect and who's reporting I appreciate and he said you know they will look at was this an intelligence failure a military failure? Jonathan same playbook this was The West's failure this was our failure for decades to allow Iran

25:00 and its proxies to dehumanize the Zionists and Jews, to allow people to think on college campuses at Harvard. To allow anti-Zionism to flourish we say I'm sure you saw the reports that all these billionaires and business owners have said oh if you sign that note at Harvard when I were never gonna hire you You're not hireable, you're a horrible person. We saw this in the 30s. Legitimate professors students who came to believe the poison of the Third Reich who came to think that in the wake of World War I The Jews had literally abandoned Germany and remember what Hitler said it's the Jews who caused their own misfortune now we have Palestinian Hamas apologists

25:51 and their acolytes here in the West, their accomplices. Jonathan's saying Israel brought this on blaming the victim while we're still collecting the bodies is as disgraceful and as dishonorable a thing I could ever imagine The last thing I'll say-and i'm so sorry but uh...I don't ever remember feeling like this before Is that the idea the notion that somehow this peace, this rapprochement with Saudi Arabia they were trying to disrupt it. I think there's some truth to that but let's be clear that was a path to peace Working out a deal that could have given the Palestinians and the Israelis the confidence to make a deal with the Palestinians. Terror reinforces, terror reinforces the conflict because that's what these barbarians want we've got to stand up against them every time So you know it doesn't matter what you say You're going to have someone yell at you

Listener Feedback on Israel Coverage and Tribal Biases

The hosts read emails from listeners who accuse them of being "neocons" or having "Zionist biases" due to their coverage of the music festival massacre. One listener uses the term "Christ cuck" to describe the hosts' perspective. The hosts defend their "helicopter view," noting that they lost listeners during the Ukraine war for similar reasons of not adhering to a specific tribal narrative.

neocon· zionism· listener mail· ukraine war· media virus

26:48 You might as well just not say anything and even though I predicted these emails would come in, just two quick ones that'll just read. Your take on Israel and the massacre at the music festival being an op is disgusting! Long time listener, I think i'm done now. Here's my favorite. What was it first line? He said what you said was an op says your take on Israel and the massacre at the music festival being an op is disgusting. So we never said it was an op? No in fact, we said it no. We never said it was an op? It might have been an inside job but not an op! Well we fit well... In my- The way I see it is that this was allowed to take place for some alternative for some

27:39 for some reason or other, because there's no way that this could have been a surprise. That's all as far as I took it! Those people were genuinely killed it wasn't an op... Well you'll like this next one. I bet I will and by the way we don't need people like that in this audience No but it's important to show this that the strife is even within Noah Jenner Nation We had the same thing with Ukraine. We lost a lot of listeners to the Ukraine war, and I guess it turns out to be pretty spot-on about that one but doesn't matter... Of course! You sound like a neocon, that's the subject from It's Not A Real Country to The Nice Jews Were Just Going To Pray In The Temple you're neocons... What? Just let me read it your neocons

28:33 I'm gonna start over. It's so good. Is he listening to our show? Yeah, but this is what happens when people get infected by the media virus! When people throw at you 9-11 the first thing they think is dancing Israelis or whatever From it's not a real country to the nice Jews were just going to pray in the temple. Your neocon Zionist biases are becoming obvious and you sound like Dan Bongino or your buddy Glenn Beck playing Wesley Clark's clip and not connecting it to the Zionist project, and the ancillary projects like mass immigration pornography trans attacks on free speech that they do to us which they did to Germany until they rose up against Jewry and butthurt bankers thus rallied the world to destroy them. It is one tribal group doing all these things and you know it no matter how hard your Jewish wife John Henpecks

29:32 You, it's going to do your soul good to tell the truth and connect the dots! Or are you going to convert? To take part in the blood rituals that sicken-in-the-head Jews want to return to and desecrate whole Muslim holy sites. You are already halfway there as a Christ cuck. It's sad... So this is how, this is Christ Cuck. Yeah my Christ... Wow! It's a great show title. That's a great phrase. Christ Cuck. So a little historical background I like doing this because we don't get any of this in the United States and this of course is TRT Turkish radio and television

Biblical Origins of the Arab-Israeli Conflict

A historical and biblical overview traces the roots of the Arab-Israeli conflict back to the story of Isaac and Ishmael. The narrative explores the tension between Sarah and Hagar and how their descendants became the foundations of the Jewish and Arab peoples. The hosts share personal anecdotes about witnessing this deep-seated animosity in modern settings like Berkeley and Bangkok.

isaac· ishmael· abraham· sarah· hagar

30:19 And so they come at it from a perspective that, they start off by I think misnomer of Palestine. It used to be Syria-Palestina but okay they're going to give us the history of Britain's role and subsequently the League of Nations and the United Nations in this entire thing. You just don't get any of these perspectives forget about the obvious slant they're putting on it because you can refute a lot of what they're saying. But I think some of this is good to hear for people who just have no perspective, because as long as I've been alive and as long as you've been alive this crap has been going on ever since you were a boy! Yeah i'm sure you remember... Oh yeah, it's always been going on. I remember two quick stories one when I was at Berkeley

31:16 It was every day there was some Jewish guy and a Palestinian. guy yelling at each other in the on the sprawl Plaza that was every day and then I went to told them the story about this before which is a three-hour lecture. I heard for it Wheeler auditorium with Phil Spector and this wasn't very long ago and Phil Spector mentioned in his speech that when he was a kid, this has been going on This is never ending. And just for a biblical history, this goes back to Isaac and Ishmael briefly

31:57 Abraham and Sarah were told they were gonna have a son, the son would... all the tribes of Israel would come out of this. And Sarah—and they were like 70 or something like okay yeah sure God—and Sarah's like eh this is taking too long! So she brought her handmaiden Hagar and said hey Abraham why don't you lay with her as they say in biblical terms? And out of that came Ishmael but she usurped God And so then eventually she had Isaac, miracle. And this literally was the Jew and the Arab who hate each other This is literally where it comes from This is why when I was in Bangkok with my friend Ben Cohen Israeli who grew up or lived in Amsterdam

CHAPTER 13 / 51 Discussion

British Mandate and the History of the Balfour Declaration

A TRT World report details the role of Imperial Britain in the Palestinian conflict, starting with the collapse of the Ottoman Empire. The segment covers the 1917 Balfour Declaration, which promised a Jewish homeland while Britain simultaneously promised independence to Arab leaders. The narrative follows the 1920 League of Nations mandate and the subsequent decades of riots and failed partitions leading up to 1948.

balfour declaration· ottoman empire· imperial britain· league of nations· palestine

32:43 There were just two Arab guys who came into this restaurant, I think it was a McDonald's in Bangkok of all things. And they were just dressed in blue jeans you know wasn't anything and he said look at him look at them they hate me they look at how they hate me and meanwhile I could feel his hate! I'm like what what is your problem? It goes back this far so now we go down to the history of Israel... I mean this goes back to the Ottoman Empire. Do kids even learn about the Ottoman Empire in school anymore? Only a hundred years ago! Not that long ago... Nobody is taught any of this. No, and it's important When you think Palestine You may think violence land seizures and decades-long Israeli occupation But what you might not know is that another country plays a driving role in causing the region's conflict Imperial Britain

33:33 From 1516 to at least 1917, Palestine was under the control of the Ottoman Empire. A religiously diverse land where Christians, Muslims and Jews lived alongside one another at peace for the most part. Then in the early 1900s a small number of European Jews were trying to drum up support for Zionism and establishment of Jewish homeland Just 20 years before in 1897 The movement led by Theodor Herzl was initiated as conference in Switzerland They decided that they would advocate for a Jewish homeland in Palestine, but the movement at the time didn't have much support. And at that time only around 8% of the population of Palestine was Jewish At the same time Arab nationalism was on the rise and many Palestinians wanted an independent state Imperial Britain knew both ambitions of Zionists and Palestinians and used this situation to bolster their own interests

34:21 In 1914, amid World War I Britain went to war with the Ottoman Empire. And in 1915 Henry McMahon, Britain's representative in Cairo approached Arab leaders with a proposal. Britain would agree to Arab independence if they helped fight against the Ottomans Then in 1917 Britain's foreign secretary wrote a one-paragraph letter to Walter Rothschild figure in the British Jewish community. It read, His Majesty's government views with favor the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people and will use their best endeavors to facilitate the achievement of this object." This letter became known as The Balfour Declaration. This is important because I think even today's kids should at least learn about the Balfour Declaration. I mean it gives you a little more context than this drivel...

35:08 The absolute drivel that is being seeped out of television and people don't even watch television but all these clips get on to social media and some's even taken out of context. It's just horrible how over-socialized and under educated people are." And it was in stark contrast to a declaration of the British and French armies in 1918 which assured the people of Syria, Palestine and Mesopotamia of autonomy so what was So what was going on? Britain had promised independence to the Arabs that lived in Palestine, but then also promised a homeland for Jews on land that was already inhabited. Was Britain just transferring land that did not belong to them to whoever they liked? When the Ottoman Empire collapsed in 1918, The League of Nations gave Britain a mandate or administrative control over Palestine in 1920. It was a dual

35:54 mandates. On one hand, they were to act on behalf of Palestinians but on the other hand they were to act on behalf of the international community of Jews who wanted to establish a homeland Britain then drew up arbitrary borders transferring the eastern bank of the Jordan River to the Hirshemites It was under the British mandate that Jews from Europe began to immigrate to Palestine and buy-up land The Jewish population in Palestine grew tenfold from 60,000 to more than 600,000 between 1918 and 1947. Many Palestinians saw the mass influx of Jews as a European colonial movement. What's interesting is the video that goes along with this you literally see checkpoints with people on horses yeah it's the same thing it's been going on since

36:35 For a long time, the checkpoints... there were no cars. People on horses! So as one might expect it led to conflict In 1929 riots broke out at the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem Both Palestinians and Jews lost lives In 1936 after Jewish immigration increased even more More riots broke out This time the British were heavy-handed and killed between 2,000 and 5,000 Palestinians A Royal British Commission concluded that because Britain had allowed mass immigration, Palestine had two distinct societies that couldn't be reconciled. I love how Britain kind of... no one really talks about Britain being the actor behind the whole thing! That's the reason they're so guilt-ridden and yes and they're like jumping in oh we're going to do whatever we have to yeah Oh yeah it's 40 seconds left They recommended a partition of the land

37:26 The Arab Higher Committee rejected this saying it was all their land. Britain then banned the Arab Higher Commission They introduced the White Paper of 1939 It stated that Palestine should be a bi-national state inhabited by Jews and Palestinians but that Jewish immigration would be limited for five years But illegal immigration still went on. And violence continued to erupt. And when Britain couldn't handle the mess they had a part in creating, they handed their country back to the UN in 1948 The UN then decided to partition Palestine The story gets a lot more complicated after this but the British promising land which already belonged to Palestinians and other people has played a part in decades of conflict and bloodshed So the U.N., the U.N.'s like ah we should have a two-state

CHAPTER 14 / 51 Discussion

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on the Gaza Siege

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres expresses distress over Israel's complete siege of the Gaza Strip, which includes cutting off electricity, food, and fuel. He emphasizes that the violence does not occur in a vacuum and calls for a negotiated peace following a two-state solution. The hosts follow this with a biblical reference from Matthew 24 regarding "wars and rumors of wars."

antonio guterres· united nations· gaza strip· two-state solution· war crimes

38:07 state solution. Another thing I've been hearing all my life, and here is our current United Nations What is it? Is it director general, president chief whatever. The Guateras! This most recent violence does not come in a vacuum. Vacuum. The reality is that it grows out of long standing conflict with the 56 year long occupation and no political end in sight I am deeply distressed by today's announcement that Israel will initiate a complete siege of the Gaza Strip Nothing allowed in, no electricity food or fuel. Israel must see its legitimate needs for security materialized and Palestinians must see a clear perspective of the establishment of their own state realized only a negotiated peace that fulfills the legitimate national aspirations of Palestinians and Israelis together with their security alike

39:06 The long-held vision of a two state solution in line with the United Nations resolutions, international law and previous agreements can bring long term stability to the people of these lands and wider Middle East region. Thank you. Biblical reference, Matthew 24. This is Jesus on the mount he says you will hear of wars and rumors of wars but see to it that you are not alarmed such things must happen but the end is still to come nation will rise against nation and kingdom against Kingdom so you know as a Christian I'm like yeah okay I guess maybe we're there but then comes this

CHAPTER 15 / 51 Discussion

International Law and Potential War Crimes in Gaza

The discussion shifts to the legality of the total blockade of Gaza under the Geneva Convention. Al Jazeera reports that the U.S. is pushing for a humanitarian corridor to allow civilians and Americans to exit. The hosts play a 2022 clip of Ursula von der Leyen calling Russian attacks on civilian infrastructure "pure terror," highlighting the perceived double standard in international reactions to similar tactics in Gaza.

war crimes· geneva convention· ursula von der leyen· gaza· humanitarian corridor

39:51 There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. There is another major story developing overseas at least 2,000 people have died after twin earthquakes in Afghanistan near the border with Iran hundreds of people are believed to be trapped in the rubble a lack of modern equipment is hampering the rescue efforts no worries all these are the beginning of the birth pains actually it's 3,000 old report it says at least two hours old There's another issue here that is not being discussed in the West, and that is war crimes which are apparent on both sides. For me it just... I just want to say war crimes to me is the same as hate speech. It's like okay there

40:40 There are certain specific things and I want to play these three clips. You got it! This is war crimes lead in Al Jazeera. Well, Patty Cullahan joins me now from Washington DC for more on this and Blinken on his way now what is he actually hoping to achieve by going himself? Well, first and foremost it sends the message. It backs up with the president's words that the U.S is fully behind Israel but there are going to be discussions and one thing we've noticed in last 24 hours is that the US has really started a shift focus trying to get humanitarian corridor out of Gaza He said on the tarmac that he's been speaking to officials in Egypt and in Israel. He said it was complicated. He didn't explain exactly where the negotiations were being held up, he wouldn't answer that but it is very clear and we're hearing this from the White House from the Secretary of State that they are pushing to have some way to get civilians out of Gaza get Americans out, get civilians out They are working that undoubtedly That is going to be a huge part of the conversation

41:44 And that leads us to a problem that no one wants to talk about in our media. This is clip two. Joe Biden has just been holding a meeting with Jewish leaders at the White House, what did they have to talk about and did he make any announcements off the back of that? Well, he actually moved the needle a little bit. We watched his speech just the other day and it was the full-throated angry really emotional speech from U.S. President Joe Biden about this and some were critical of him because he didn't call for any sort of restraint from Israel it was a full throated endorsement we were speaking to this group he told them he had spoken to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and that he told them that even though people are very angry

42:29 They have to follow the rules of war. And so that seems to me to be putting a baseline on what they expect from the Israeli operation. One critical thing is, that would be the civilian corridor because it is against the laws of war not let civilians escape. And also might call into question that total blockade of Gaza, that is a war crime according to all rules of law and the Geneva Convention. So he's sending possibly a subtle message to Israel that there are things that the U.S will not condone

43:08 This is going to be a problem. You can't cordon off an entire area and just pummel them, uh...and not allowing them to escape that is a war crime by any standards as far as I'm concerned. I don't think it's like hate speech It's really you just can't put someone in the cage And then there's bomb the shit out of him because it's fun. I have a I have a fine There's a third one. No, but I want to give you 24 seconds Because this this is of course the problem This is from last year. This is van der Leyen talking about Russia. Yesterday we saw again, Russia's targeted attacks against civilian infrastructure. Targeted attacks on civilian infrastructure with a clear aim to cut off men women children of water electricity and heating with the winter coming these are acts of pure terror and we have to call it as such

CHAPTER 16 / 51 Discussion

US Military Aid and Potential Ground Invasion Challenges

Pentagon officials remain vague about the specific munitions being sent to Israel, though there are concerns about stockpiles due to the ongoing war in Ukraine. Speculation includes the provision of Iron Dome interceptors and potentially cluster munitions. Analysts warn that a ground invasion of the densely populated Gaza Strip would be exceptionally dangerous, requiring specialized equipment like night-vision goggles and body armor.

iron dome· cluster munitions· ground invasion· pentagon· antony blinken

44:04 Okay. Excellent clip to pull out of the hat! You get to call it that sometimes I guess, not always but sometimes. Yeah okay well here's the final for this war crime stuff. And Patti can you just give us a bit more of an idea about what sort of military aids the US is actually sending Israel? They are being incredibly vague, as you know I'm the defense correspondent so I've been speaking to people at the Pentagon and there was concern even before this happened in Israel that they were going to run out of ammunition. They've been giving incredible amounts of ammunition to Ukraine they've been trying to ramp up production but it obviously takes time This official has told me on background that basically yes we believe we can give Israel some what it needs because we have stockpiles all over the globe Hold on a second

44:51 All that we had left was cluster munitions. Is that what we're sending over now? They don't know in fact they only Al Jazeera's mentioned this because we talked about on the army is all or you're giving him a were sending some, you know Some ships down there to block the block of them Mediterranean were there but they don't say what your set when we're sending him LJ zero tried to dig into it and And they can't find out. We don't know if it's cluster munitions or bubble gum, there is no idea That said they've been very vague They said we want to give them munitions for the Iron Dome defense system obviously and other than that they haven't given very many details

45:34 Now, if Israel is going to launch a ground invasion it is by far the most challenging type of warfare in existence. It's exceptionally dangerous and deadly so if Israel has decided what they want to do likely with Secretary Blinken they're going over some those plans finding out where some of those shortfalls are If they are gonna do a ground incursion incredibly densely populated area with very narrow streets they'll need things like night-vision goggles, they'll need ammunition perhaps better body armor so really there I think trying to get a sense of where Israel is going to take this and what the US can do to help them. Okay thank you so much that is Petty Cullohan for us in Washington DC TRT had a report about what's being sent and the and what the U.S. is doing to support Israel here it is. U.S President Joe Biden called Hamas' attack on Israel

CHAPTER 17 / 51 Discussion

Joe Biden's Warning and the US Naval Flotilla

President Joe Biden issues a one-word warning—"Don't"—to any regional actors considering intervention in the conflict. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan confirms the deployment of a naval carrier strike group to the Mediterranean as a deterrent. Meanwhile, the administration negotiates with Egypt to establish safe passage for Palestinians, despite Egypt's historical reluctance to open the Gaza border.

joe biden· jake sullivan· aircraft carrier· flotilla· egypt

46:28 on an appalling scale, promised that the US has Israel's back and then issued a warning. Let me say again to any country, any organization anyone thinking of taking advantage this situation I have one word don't! Don't! That is actually contractions actually two words But even so, wait. Even so he said it twice I have one word don't don't hearts may be broken but our resolve is clear Biden tried to separate the Palestinian people from Hamas Hamas does not stand for the Palestinians by the way i'm sorry this is our president now

47:16 I have one word, don't. And our president then- I have two words for you predator drones. Come on that was cool Predator Drones two words! Don't. Our hearts may be broken but our resolve is clear Biden tried to separate the Palestinian people from Hamas Hamas does not stand for the Palestinians peoples right to dignity and self determination. Ah okay. It's stated purposes in of the state division on the murder of Jewish people. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan says that death toll of Americans killed in the Hamas attack has grown to more than a dozen, with nearly two dozen unaccounted for but it's not clear how many of those are being held hostage by Hamas. Sullivan said there are still no plans to put US forces into the conflict and that

48:11 For now, the US is only helping Israel beef up its Iron Dome defense shield and providing expertise and intelligence. And sending a flotilla of warships toward Israel as a deterrent. A flotilla? Isn't a flotilla a certain amount? I don't know. Let me check it out... Nobody uses the term flotilla they got there's this term for what they sent. Well let me see flotillas that like a bunch of rafts It's a flotilla. A deterrent! Look it up, small fleet of vessels commercial or otherwise okay he was asked how much...it's not a small fleet it's a big fleet they send an aircraft carrier and a bunch of destroyers that's not small No that's not a flotilla that's a fleet but he was asked how much of Israel's retaliation its destruction in Gaza is the US willing to tolerate I don't think of this in terms of retaliation this is about providing

49:07 support to Israel as it seeks to defend its territory and deal with an ongoing imminent threat from Hamas terrorists. Still, the Biden administration is talking to officials in Israel and Egypt about providing a safe passage to Palestinians perhaps through Egypt even though Egypt has been reluctant in the past to open up its Gaza border to them. And that is sure to be one of the topics when US Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrives in Israel later this week. Oh, that's all you need. You need Blinken. Send Nuland! That'll make it even more fun. Well they didn't send that report which you...

CHAPTER 18 / 51 Discussion

War as a Liquidity Event for the Military-Industrial Complex

The hosts characterize the conflict as a necessary "liquidity event" for the military-industrial complex and the global financial system. They note that the war provides a justification for massive money printing and government spending at a time when funding for Ukraine was facing congressional hurdles. They point out the convenience of the current lack of a statutory debt ceiling in the United States.

military-industrial complex· liquidity event· bond yields· federal reserve· debt ceiling

49:43 falsely Promoted oh, I had the fleet they didn't say what they said some parts for the no iron dome No, I said that they tried to get the answer to this so they also have no answer You can't get the answer except two parts. I wait Theon apparently Scott's send some stuff So you got parts of the further in there because nobody else is using this you know these Patriots This is So this is how I'm going to view this conflict and what happens for the next period of time. I mean, I do not think this is going to end swiftly it's going to expand just like COVID just like 9-11 really This is a liquidity event

50:28 And we're in more need of it than ever. I would say, I don't know much about the public markets but i see the issue with everyone you know going into bonds all of a sudden by on Friday everything reversed The dollar started to... this is before this attack happened The dollar reversed, the bond yields started to go down stocks were looking more attractive All the Fed presidents were coming out, hey economy's great! Everything's good Then this happens And for that we had a little blip there where, oh everyone's all, oh stocks are going to go up and I think today it's down again. So we need money the military industrial complex needs money right now we're in a shutdown situation so they couldn't get the 24 billion they wanted for Ukraine then i'm i mean it's so obvious

51:18 So so obvious that how much money is going to be created for this I don't think we have a war chest per se. I don't think we have anything I mean what would we have stuff for everybody? Well, like that one report said they got stockpiles all over the world. Yeah well we didn't have it for Ukraine but I think you know we're gonna go into money printing mode and the markets need it, the banks needed it. Oh! I'm so happy we don't have a cap on our national debt with... That's convenient that there is no statutory debt at the moment as you know no ceiling

CHAPTER 19 / 51 Discussion

John Kirby on the Limits of Ukraine Funding

Rear Admiral John Kirby clarifies that while the U.S. has near-term appropriations for both Israel and Ukraine, the funding for Ukraine is "coming near to the end of the rope." The hosts highlight how a 15-second clip of Kirby was used out of context on social media to suggest the U.S. was abandoning Ukraine. Kirby's full statement was actually a plea to Congress for more long-term funding.

john kirby· ukraine· israel· appropriations· national security council

51:56 And then of course, even though I truly believe... Here's some disinformation that came out but actually falls right it leads. It folds into this topic of money for the military-industrial complex so going around whenever you see a clip that is 12 or 15 seconds long there is an oh my god! I can't believe it! You shouldn't So the oh my god I can't believe it clip that's been going around is of Rear Admiral Kirby, of the National Security Council. Here's the headline on the tweet

52:35 We're leaving you, we're gonna step away from Ukraine. No more funding for Ukraine! Look here he said it! Crane funding? We're coming near to the end of the rope I mean today we announced 200 million dollars and will keep that aid going as long as we can but it's not gonna be indefinite so... It's not gonna be indefinite?! Oh no thats it!? We are ending support for Ukraine? NO! No, it is quite the opposite. He is pleading for more money for everything! Here's the full minute...

53:12 for congressional actions? We have existing authorities and appropriations to support Israel in the near term. And I got asked last time, what is near-term or what's a bit mean? I can't give you dates on the calendar because a lot of it is going to depend on their expenditure rate and what the replenishment ability is or what they need is and our ability to do this but in the near term we've got appropriations and authorities for both Ukraine and Israel. You don't want to be trying to bake in long-term support when you're at the end of the rope, and in Ukraine on the Ukraine funding we're coming nearer to the end of the rope I mean today we announced 200 million dollars

53:55 And we'll keep that aid going as long as we can, but it's not gonna be indefinite. So are we moving with a sense of alacrity? Absolutely! I couldn't give you a date certain on the calendar. Actually the point you made about if you see a 15 second clip going around I see these all the time and i'm always trying to find The original yeah Which is what we both do but when you see something like that going around? Yeah, it's taken out of context to fool. You yes And all you have to do is do a little digging and I don't know why nobody Nobody but this show seems to do that

CHAPTER 20 / 51 Discussion

Baltic Sea Pipeline Damage and NATO Article 5

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg addresses the damage to critical undersea infrastructure between Finland and Estonia. He warns that if the damage is proven to be a deliberate attack on NATO infrastructure, it will be met with a united response. The hosts speculate on whether the damage could be a provocation by Ukraine to draw NATO deeper into conflict, given Finland's new membership status.

jens stoltenberg· volodymyr zelensky· finland· nato· undersea infrastructure

54:36 So now let's... And it is really remarkable to me since we only have 41 people out of the almost million people that listen to this show that even bothered contribute over $50 for this particular show. You know, we could turn the cameras on both sit here with headphones and then talk about the outrage of the babies and we're going to bomb them! Oh yeah, we'd make twice as much money. We'll make twice as much money if not more So, two theaters we're going to add to this. We don't have to go too deep into it but you probably heard about the pipeline – the Finland gas pipeline. Well it looks like that was some terrorism someone blew up that pipeline of course Finland is a brand new NATO member what are the chances? so out comes Jens Stoltenberg

55:26 the head honcho of NATO with Zelensky literally standing next to him like a little boy and And here's what Jens says. We will also address the incident in the Baltic Sea with a damaged coast to critical undersea infrastructure I spoke with President Sauline Innesdø and Prime Minister Kayak Halas yesterday, and we are in close contact The important thing now is to establish what happened how this could happen. If it is proven to be a deliberate attack on NATO critical infrastructure, then this will be of course serious but it will also be met by united and determined response from NATO.

56:14 Because Finland is now a NATO country, so if someone did anything to that pipeline Putin if anyone did some of that pipeline Oh Article 5 response. So we have all this for an idea What if it was Zelensky's boys, the Ukrainians who did something to that pipeline just to stir things up and we find out that it was them? Does NATO attack them now? Dream on. Dream on! No, we want more wars. War is good for business It's good for business And now the final frontier besides sadly I think Lebanon There's not much to rubbleize in Lebanon anymore but

CHAPTER 21 / 51 Discussion

Hezbollah Border Skirmishes and the Threat of Regional Escalation

Tensions rise on the Israel-Lebanon border following reports of Hezbollah attacks and false alarms regarding aerial infiltrations by paragliders. Al Jazeera reports that the Israeli army has been firing flares and shelling border villages to prevent infiltration. The hosts suggest that these skirmishes are being used to slowly build a case for military action against Iran, which they view as the ultimate "prize" for the military-industrial complex.

hezbollah· lebanon· paragliders· israel· al jazeera

56:55 You know, it's on the West Clark 7 list so we'll just add it there. That wouldn't take much Well I do have actually a couple of clips regarding the Hezbollah attack from Lebanon Let's do that This is Hezbollah attack and this not what you hear from any of our media Again, I have to go to Al Jazeera English for this This is Hezbollah Attack 1 The Israeli army is trying to calm fears after false alarm sent people nationwide scrambling for shelter Warning sirens rang out across northern Israel and flares were fired at the border as people across the country were told to seek shelter over a possible aerial infiltration from Lebanon. The army now says the panic was caused by human error. Ali Hashim is in the town of Nakora, southern Lebanon near the border with Israel.

57:51 a very hectic day. It started with Hezbollah attack on Israeli troops on the borders, mainly in Dheira village on the borderline and according to the pictures we saw from Hezbollah it seems that there was a direct hit with guided missile Now, following that the Israelis started shelling the villages surrounding the borders and there were two people injured. Later on this alarm came and there were these reports about

58:26 planes, paragliders crossing towards the other side of the border. However there was no genuine reason to understand why this alarm is coming out because none of these paragliders were seen with eyes. Also at the same time these paragliders, the alleged paragliders did not engage in a battle or in fight on the ground so later on it was clarified that this is not right This is interesting, this paraglider thing. Paramotor, ultralights... everyone's using different words for it It's also a 9-11 throwback to these guys couldn't even fly a Cessna and they flew these planes into buildings Oh look! They're coming over with little paragliders and they're causing havoc! It's all just a different version of Cheers

59:23 Whatever the case is, the non-existent paragliders... Part clip 2 indicates that the Israelis are actually pounding the southern border of Lebanon as we speak. However, the Israeli army continued to launch flares in the skies of South Lebanon also burning the bushes around the borders in order to deny any fighters a kind of cover just in case they're trying to infiltrate the border. So, it was a hectic day for the Israeli troops on the Lebanese side and this clarified the situation whereas the tension is mounting day after day. In comparison with yesterday when rockets were launched and Hamas's

1:00:14 Al-Qassam Brigades claimed responsibility or the day before where a group from Islamic Jihad infiltrated the borders and engaged in battle with the Israelis. Today was a bigger day, and it seems that this tension is going to continue. It's not going to stop. And at least from what I understand this is going to continue as far as the campaign on Gaza is going to continue. Ah man peanuts! This is the peanuts part In the background, we need to slowly ramp up Iran. This is the prize this is the big one and would it be any better to have Israel attack Iran with our weapons? We win all around. That would have to be what that would have to be it And The Washington Post

Chuck Schumer's Meeting with Xi Jinping Regarding Iran

Senator Chuck Schumer met with Chinese President Xi Jinping to discuss bilateral ties and the situation in the Middle East. Schumer requested that China deliver a message to Iran to prevent further escalation. The hosts note that the Washington Post is increasingly focused on Iran, suggesting a shift in media priorities toward a broader regional conflict.

chuck schumer· xi jinping· china· iran· washington post

1:01:07 Pawapaw has Iran on their mind. So we had Chuck Schumer, Senator Schumer went to talk to President Xi as the representative of the United States. Our president can't get a meeting with him so send the next best thing And so here's a question from WAPO Journal. He asked the question about Xi, but he also asks...he slips in a question about Iran. The answer is somewhat surprising. Thank you very much just following up on what you just said how did they respond specifically on the point of Iran? How did President Xi respond to that and more broadly if I could ask a broader question Many analysts cite a lack of trust between the US and China as one of the biggest stumbling blocks to better ties between the countries. After your meeting with President Xi today, do you trust him more or less than you do in how he'll handle that? Let me just say this both sides The Chinese and us said unless we have sincere conversations about our differences And not pull any punches

1:02:04 that we would never solve these problems. And the thing that I think we respected is, the Chinese leadership from President Xi on down understood that we were going to be strong, understood that was gonna be tough but also understood that's a necessity if we're ever going to improve the relationship On the first question he listened Now listen to Schumer not having the answer but his handlers giving him the answer I don't recall him saying anything specific on it, but he listened several times. They said they would deliver the message to the Iranians. Yes okay? Okay. They said they would deliver the message to the Iranians

1:02:46 So WAPO has Iran in their sights. WAPO, I would say is compromised They just fired 10% of their workforce they fired 200 people for whatever reason There is a scandal brewing The special envoy to Iran from the US State Department Robert Malley has kind of disappeared He was supposed to show up in some hearings and he couldn't make it, and now he's gone away. And we don't know where he is." Uh-oh! Wapo has intercepted some emails and communications between him one of his fellow State Department or former State Department workers now at the Pentagon with Iran It turns out we had us an Iranian spy

CHAPTER 23 / 51 Discussion

Robert Malley and the Iranian Influence Network Scandal

A scandal involving the U.S. Special Envoy to Iran, Robert Malley, is unfolding following reports of his suspension for mishandling classified information. Investigations suggest Malley may have been part of an "Iranian Experts Initiative" designed to influence U.S. policy. The report also names Arianne Tabatabai, a high-level Pentagon official, as a member of this network who reportedly consulted with Iranian officials before policy events.

robert malley· arianne tabatabai· state department· pentagon· espionage

1:03:34 In the State Department, remember now there's all this noise about Donald Trump leaking the plans to attack Iran. You know that he had it and then someone else had it and who knows who had it but WAPO... And this has been going on for a few weeks no one is really talking about it This is Michael Christensen He's on bit shoot so you know its good And he gives us a brief overview of what's happening with the special envoy and the spies, the Iranian spies in the State Department. Iran is bad! Right about the same time Malley was under suspicion... Wow!

1:04:15 Sensitive US government documents started showing up in Iran's state media. So our top Iran guy disappears for mishandling classified information, and classified information starts showing up in Iranian government hands. It is not hard to deduce what happened here but this new report adds detail. Robert Malley wasn't really our top Iran guy – he was actually Iran's Top America Guy! According to the report and the emails it cites, Robert Malley was funding, supporting and directing an Iranian intelligence operation designed to influence the United States. This project was called The Iranian Experts Initiative so the experts strike again! Through it, the Iranian government was recruiting Western academics, meeting them abroad to receive their loyalty and issue directions for how to influence the U.S. Government."

1:05:08 Of course, eventually it wasn't just influence that Robert Malley achieved at the State Department. It was a job at the highest level crafting Iran policy and Robert Malley brought his Iranian experts initiative friends to the administration too so while Malley is now officially out on leave there's still at least one more in a high-level position who isn't. The emails in the report show a woman named Arianne Tabatabai is also part of this Iranian influence network, who is Tabadabai? Well she's a person Robert Malley personally brought into Biden's administration. She was first at the State Department, she was a diplomat on Malley's Iran nuclear negotiation team under Biden and now

1:05:50 She works at the Pentagon, where she's currently the Chief of Staff for the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special Operations. So not only did she negotiate with hostiles while being part of a propaganda network for those hostiles, she is now working with our spec ops who handle our most risky and difficult military operations should any heightened conflict arise. were covered by the Wall Street Journal reporter show Tabata by consulting with and seeking advice from Iran's foreign ministry before attending policy events. Before she gave congressional testimony in 2014, she asked an Iranian official for advice on how to deal with other witnesses who are Iran critics

1:06:32 She sent an Iran-sympathetic article she published in the Boston Globe to this Iranian official for praise and recognition. And also, in these emails the Iranian government was very pleased with the results of their project. So if you want something to crack open, do you call your friends at WAPO? It's coming up it's gonna bubble up we've got Mohammed Daif I guarantee you he'll show up in Iran oh yeah we found him we gotta smoke them out The whole lot of these people go back to the to the very Middle East centric Obama administration and Yeah, this spy network is quite funny. It was written up in a couple of different places Nobody knows quite what to make of it Don't worry. It'll be twisted into something I

1:07:29 Iran is bad. Iran, Iran, Iran, Iran... Let Israel do it! It all has to leave- everyone's saying it every report in the Anti-Defamation League Oh, it's Iran Hezbollah? Iran Hamas? Iran It's all Iran We've got to go out we gotta go at the root! Smoke them out The one eyed, one legged guy who planned it all he's an Iran you can just wait for it Well if that happens I'm gonna give you 10 points because that would be ideal Which also means the whole thing's a scam. Well, this is what I believe! It's a scam... The military-industrial complex it's for politics it's being used for getting all of the bad news off of the front even the bad news about you Ukraine conflict everything is just off the table don't worry about it. No, I was irked by this by the way as you can tell my clips yeah

EU Digital Services Act and Social Media Censorship

EU Industry Chief Thierry Breton sent letters to Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg demanding the removal of "harmful content" and disinformation related to the Israel-Hamas war under the Digital Services Act (DSA). Failure to comply could result in fines of up to 6% of global revenue. The hosts report that takedowns have surged to over 137,000 per hour, effectively creating an environment where only "approved narratives" are visible.

digital services act· thierry breton· elon musk· mark zuckerberg· disinformation

1:08:27 There was no way of getting any other news except this story clip custodian sent me his normal batch He's like it's all Israel Other stories, I mean a few of them here and there but they're all they're all minor well There's one others. There's one other story the thing about 200 Biden This is the real kicker to me is 100 Bidens All of a sudden completely off the course of course he's back to smoking crack and hookers is also good Good for him. So now this is also a perfect opportunity to enact and try out some of the new regulation in the European Union, the DSA, the Digital Services Agreement which well it's actually in this report but spoiler alert if you find...if you're a platform and you find hate speech or disinformation

1:09:26 You have to remove it immediately. Letters went out, letters went out to Elon Musk, letters went out to Mark Zuckerberg there's bad things on your platform that will not stand in the European Union As violence rages in Israel and Gaza so does fake news on social media The EU is making an urgent appeal to big tech In a letter addressed to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg on Wednesday Thierry Breton, the bloc's industry chief urged the platform to do more to curb disinformation or face penalties It comes a day after Breton made a similar call to ex-owner Elon Musk. Since the start of the war, social media networks have been awash with graphic images and misinformation linked to violence. Fact checkers at France 24 have been debunking some of the faucets. Under the EU's Digital Services Act large social media platforms like X are obliged to stop the spread of harmful content or face fines up to 6% of their annual global revenue

1:10:21 Instead, experts say that X's algorithm is actively promoting disinformation on the Israel-Hamas war. Favouring posts by accounts that pay for its blue check subscription service regardless of who runs them Users can receive payments under the scheme giving them more incentive to publish posts that are likely to elicit strong reactions and go viral. Well in a request for comment made by CNBC, a MEDEA spokesperson said we quickly established a special operations center staffed with experts including fluent Hebrew and Arabic speakers to closely monitor and respond to this rapidly evolving situation our teams are working around the clock to keep our platforms safe

1:11:02 take action on content that violates our policies or local law, and coordinate with third-party fact checkers in the region to limit spread of misinformation. And there was also a statement by ex-CEO Linda Iaccarino shortly, just a few minutes ago saying that shortly after the news broke about Hamas attack, ex assembled leadership—a leadership group to assess the situation since the terrorist attack on Israel. We've taken action to remove or label tens of thousands of pieces of content." So far, since the start of the conflict, X says it has identified and removed hundreds of Hamas-affiliated accounts from their platform. Oh, because only Hamas has disinformation! We go to our DSA dashboard... Last time we checked in with the DSA, the Digital Services Act, we had about 67 thousand takedowns an hour. Who cared to wager what it's up to now John?

1:12:02 Quarter of a million. No, not quite 137 thousand six hundred and thirty no one hundred thirty seven Thousand six hundred and thirty yes there we go per hour over five our per hour Over 5 million takedowns a day others taking everything down My point exactly so what you are seeing is only approved it's only approve narrative I think we can easily presume that. So you're not getting anything from social media? You're getting nothing from the sounds of it if you're taking down a hundred, well... It's not a quarter of a million but an eighth of a million per hour That's a lot of posts! That means every eight hours a million posts are taken down and its a million posts!

1:13:00 It's and that's in eight hours, and you get 24 hours. It's three That's you know it's 3 million a day. Yeah, it's ridiculous yeah I know so there too, so this has to be willy-nilly There's no way well No, it's if its complaint from the government take it down okay? Nothing has changed nothing has changed The I just I'd say the agents are still inside of X and everywhere else Platforms are no good Although I do like kind of the insinuation that X is the worst because they pay people with blue check marks for posts. That's the TwitterX payment system? Yeah, you pay eight bucks and then you get a blue check mark. But no but then you can join their monetization program

Amazon Alexa and 2020 Election Fraud Claims

Reports surfaced that Amazon's Alexa voice assistant was citing Rumble to claim the 2020 U.S. presidential election was stolen. Amazon attributed the responses to errors that occurred a small number of times and stated they have since been fixed. The hosts discuss this as a recurring theme in big tech's struggle with "misinformation" and automated responses.

amazon alexa· rumble· 2020 election· election fraud· big tech

1:13:57 And if you get people commenting on your post and they're able to sell ads, boom! You get some money. I'm doing it. Tell me this isn't an old story, just talking about big tech for a second. Somehow I feel like this story we've heard...I couldn't find the clip but we've heard it before Amazon's Alexa has apparently been claiming that 2020 presidential election was stolen The voice assistant cites various sources when answering questions about the election including from a video streaming service popular with conservatives called Rumble

1:14:37 Multiple investigations uncovered no evidence of election fraud and Amazon says for their part responses were errors delivered a small number of times and quickly fixed. Why do I think i've heard this story before? I never heard this story before I'm usually pretty good about it. It must be, must be. Yeah you have a memory for this and so you should've maybe floated around before... I was looking for a clip but I could not find the clip. Well, let's see. I've got the Hezbollah attack run down... Do you have anything from the region? Are we still stuck in the region? The region! West Bank killings. Oh this is kind of interesting here there's shooting people in the West Bank which has nothing to do with Gaza but okay Where is it? It's just war

CHAPTER 26 / 51 Discussion

European Protests and the Suppression of Palestinian Solidarity

French and German authorities have moved to ban pro-Palestinian demonstrations, citing concerns over public order and anti-Semitism. In Lyon and Paris, police used force to disperse gatherings, while in Berlin, waving the Palestinian flag has been framed as a sensitive issue due to Germany's history. The hosts argue these bans are intended to trigger historical trauma and control the public narrative.

emmanuel macron· berlin· lyon· palestine· anti-semitism

1:15:31 West Bank war Israeli settlers have killed at least four Palestinians in attacks on a village south of Nablus and the occupied West Bank. The Palestinian Health Ministry says Israeli forces have also killed a 16 year old boy near Hebron 29 Palestinians have been killed in the occupied West Bank since the war began on Saturday yeah that was kind of a screwball The other one, I want to play this. This is a protest for Palestinians and the EU and how it kind of contrasts with what we're doing here in the United States. French police in the city of Lyon used force to break up a demonstration in support of Palestinians on Wednesday It comes after decision by city officials to ban gatherings local activists had planned for later in the week Authorities in Paris have also imposed prohibitions on pro-Palestinian marches

1:16:23 French President Emmanuel Macron has condemned Hamas' attack on Israel but opposes stopping the European Union's humanitarian assistance to Palestinians. Pro-Palestinian demonstrations have also been taking place in the German capital Berlin with a large police presence. Melissa Chan has more Police have just told everyone in the area to disperse. They have banned all Palestinian solidarity protests over the next few days, particularly in Germany this is a touchy subject because of the history of the country, the history of World War II and the Nazis and Holocaust which means that the German government and the German people many of them consider something as simple as waving the Palestinian flag as anti-Semitic

1:17:09 This is just, you know this is always the red flag and old German arguments to denounce and actually persecute Palestinian voices for their rights in Palestine. Palestinians also have the right to do whatever they want so they have been paying for 75 years and that's not okay Now over the next few days emotions are going to run high there's also a big Israeli community here, and police say one reason why they're banning protests is to prevent the two sides from clashing. Melissa Chan, Al Jazeera, Berlin. It's all meant to trigger trauma And when they... Yeah, that was your basic thesis and I think you're right. One last clip for this kind of thing. This is the Democrats no support for Israel just from new Tang dynasty Some Democrats fear support for Israel among their party might be waning this comes as some lawmakers voice support for Palestine while others are distancing themselves

CHAPTER 27 / 51 Discussion

Shifting Democratic Party Sympathies Toward Palestine

A recent Gallup poll indicates that for the first time in 20 years, more Democrats sympathize with Palestinians (49%) than with Israelis (38%). This shift has caused concern among some Democratic lawmakers who fear the sentiment will "metastasize." Meanwhile, Republican Congressman Max Miller has proposed an amendment to ban foreign flags on Capitol Hill in response to Representative Rashida Tlaib flying the Palestinian flag.

rashida tlaib· max miller· politico· gallup poll· democratic party

1:18:04 Some Democrats reportedly fear that members of their party might stop supporting Israel. Sentiments in the US, in the past few days since the attacks were mostly pro-Israel however that might change one unnamed Democratic lawmaker told Politico for the last couple of days we've seen all the pictures of girls who were killed at this festival and the children The lawmaker says this will change now as the counter offensive begins Have you actually... I've been Honestly, it's part of research. I have looked have you seen a lot of people killed at the festival? I'm not disputing it but have we actually seen that I've seen there's once does one telegraph Telegram site that has all these pictures is pretty elaborate and this hundreds and hundreds of pictures But specifically from that festival no No, I've done seeing anything either because they just reported that they've that they've seen that

1:19:01 And I, you know it's like the babies. Yeah...I'm not disputing it but but I have not seen the pictures and you and the newsletter you sent out was on point But it was on point! It might be why I played up to bullshit pictures in them somebody said me that did get a note for somebody regarding that girl at they kept showing over and over again being taken out of the back of a Jeep and then being put in front of the Jeep which which which I saw MSNBC claiming She was raped and she was bleeding. Like you have no evidence of that? When I saw that first, and i'm sorry to bring up this is traumatic to see it To me it looked like someone who crapped their pants because they were so terrified That's what it looked like to me or any other many reasons but it presented as fact Well she could've been sitting in blood too for all we know It was presented as facts

1:19:55 No, and then they had this guy who seemed to be in blackface for some reason. He shoots a gun in the air pulls her out of the back yells at Akbar shoots the gun and then puts her in it in the seat in the comfy seat I mean what was the point of this? And somebody sent a note and saying this was a great news This is low-budget Filmmaking he says it only cost them one bullet You know, and a day's pay for that borrowed Jeep. I mean it just was really kind of crummy. Yeah... I can hear keyboards clicking don't send that email to us we're just looking at media and trying to understand what the messaging is not We're not here to bring you the truth of what actually happened. We don't have it Nobody does Exactly! That's the point but its being presented as fact

1:20:49 We'll continue with your clip here. The only images we're going to see for the next couple of weeks are dead Palestinians Earlier this year a Gallup poll found that Democrats opinions on Israel have changed significantly 49% of Democrats now say they sympathize more with Palestine while only 38 percent say they sympathize more with Israel That's the first time more Democrats have said their sympathies are more with Palestine than with Israel in the 20 years The poll has been conducted Another Democratic lawmaker told Politico, the key is making sure that this sentiment doesn't grow and metastasize. Meanwhile Democratic Representative Rashida Tlaib is still flying the Palestinian flag in front of her office Republican Congressman Max Miller commented on that saying The Palestinian flag should not have a place here That's why I sponsored an appropriations amendment to end this silliness

1:21:39 Under the amendment, foreign flags couldn't be displayed on Capitol Hill. Notice by anybody else which is this this idea that they've been polling Democrats and now the sympathy for the Israelis is down to 39% and the sympathy for the Palestinians up to 49%. This is a switcheroo And this may be part of them of the reason too. You were gonna bomb Iran we got to do it now Because this is not going to go there. It's it's not gonna reverse direction Yes, it's clear trend. Yeah hmm

CHAPTER 28 / 51 Discussion

Israeli Intelligence Whistleblower and Social Media Consistency

The hosts discuss a viral video featuring a former Israeli intelligence officer who claims the Hamas attack could not have happened without internal failure or complicity. They question why such content is allowed to remain on social media while other "disinformation" is aggressively purged under the DSA. They use this to illustrate the inconsistency and potential agenda behind platform moderation.

brett weinstein· intelligence· social media· disinformation· israel

1:22:27 That's a good point. You know what else is interesting with all these takedowns of misinformation? How is it that I'm sure you've seen her, there's the blonde Israeli woman about 35-40 now she must be over 40 who says 25 years ago she was in service, she was specifically of course all young people go into service in Israel and she was in the intelligence division. And she's just doing video after video after video about how this couldn't happen there's no way this was a setup this could never happen you know? She brought in the cat thing again like you can sense a cat uh...

1:23:11 Brett Weinstein interviewing her, but yet she's allowed to continue? Explain that. Is she not disinformation why is she still on the air? Just someone you would take off just because... So yeah and so that she just continues so you cannot trust your social media No that media! Social media Hell with that. All media! Yeah, but people often are still like oh I can still get all this on social media look i got the proof telegram well it's proof do you remember Giannis Varoufakis? Oh yeah whatever happened to him? Well

CHAPTER 29 / 51 Discussion

Yanis Varoufakis and the Concept of Techno-Feudalism

Former Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis has resurfaced with a new book titled "Techno-Feudalism." Varoufakis argues that traditional capitalism has been replaced by a system where "cloud capitalists" like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk extract rent from society through digital platforms. He posits that owning the "cloud" is the modern equivalent of owning land in the original feudal era.

yanis varoufakis· greece· techno-feudalism· cloud capital· marxism

1:24:00 Yes, good to tell you about bringing up an old name. Yes Yeah was one of the first guys who was pushed to the curb kicked her the curb So this is when Greece was taken down by The US banks was a Goldman and a couple others yeah, they think the guy in the motorcycle yes It's not too gay social media guy another guy disappeared You're thinking of, what was that guy's name? It wasn't Yannis. The gay conservative with the blonde hair social media guy who also kicked to the curb. That guy went away. This is the Russian tumble leather wearing bike riding American I think he ended up at the University of Texas. No no no he's Greek. He's Greek. Milo you're thinking of Milo.

1:24:50 Milo, but this Greek guy ended up at the University of Texas I think teaching economics didn't he? Well he's an economics economist, economics professor and when Greece was being thrust into austerity. And we covered all this 2010 I want to say so it was quite a while ago. What happened is the bank said hey you know we're calling in our loan Oh, you can't pay for it? Austerity for you! And all of the Northern Europe hated Greece. This was right after the Greeks decided to join the Eurozone, which is their biggest mistake. People would even go into Greek restaurants in like Holland and say I'm not paying because you screwed us! You stole our money it was horrible so then this guy and he's a Marxist he admits his I'm a socialist I'm a Marxist but he says in the traditional sense of the word whatever that means

1:25:47 whatever that means. And he became the minister of finance for six months and all he did is, he just said no more loans we're not taking any more loans which was probably a good thing for Greece and then his party got kicked out and he got kicked out and everyone get kicked out and now you know all the wealth is in the north and the south of Greece they're driving around in Lamborghinis and the rest of Greece is just crap It's what you get. That's how it works, they are the ugly stepchild so Yanis resurfaces with a very interesting book I've been reading called techno feudalism and it kind of folds into you know these platforms and He says that capitalism is in essence over Because capitalism is now slave to cloud capitalism

CHAPTER 30 / 51 Discussion

Cloud Rent and the Critique of Big Tech Platforms

The hosts debate Varoufakis's theory of "cloud rent," specifically how companies like Apple and Amazon take a 30-40% cut of transactions on their platforms. While Dvorak is skeptical of the "feudalism" label, Curry highlights how the "ragtag band" of RSS developers thwarted Spotify's attempt to capture the podcasting industry. They also briefly dismiss Sam Altman's recent claims about the timeline for AGI.

jeff bezos· amazon· apple· spotify· rss

1:26:41 And that is all Silicon Valley based. It does not exist anywhere else except China, China does have WeChat that is the big competitor to the cloud capitalists here in the US And he has a one minute, he's doing interviews all over YouTube. I've been fascinated by a lot of what you say and I don't agree with all of it, of course but this idea this concept was something we should think about as we see the world unfold certainly with secret meetings about AI and all that crap But what happened is if you're Jeff Bezos

1:27:17 If you are the owner of Google, of Apple or Elon Musk then you own this new form of cloud capital which allows you to extract from the rest of society from proletarians but from everyone else as well huge quantities of rents and surpluses in a manner that reconstitutes a form of feudalism. The difference is that instead The original feudalism which is a system based on private ownership of land, which produces rent. Now it's private ownership of the cloud, of cloud capital because the clouds are capital right? It's not some cloud up in the sky... Which yields again a form of rent every time you buy something from amazon.com 40% of what you pay doesn't go to the capitalist who is selling you that stuff. It goes to Jeff Bezos That's a cloud rent and he is a new form of feudal lord

1:28:15 I kind of agree with that. Yeah, well i sure don't You don't? No. It all goes to Jeff Bezos. Of course it's not the Bezos, but it is a public company. But Amazon... You know that people have a very hard time really making profit on Amazon. The same thing for Apple. Oh you want to sell an app? 30%. You want a subscription of something? 30% This is why you can't buy a Kindle through the app on Apple They are charging rents for their platforms. I'm not saying that that's not true. Forget about the beat, don't... That's just me. But it is like minor, i mean It's like a one element of this whole idea of what does he call kind of capitalism? Techno-feudalism. Techno-feudalism

1:29:09 harkens back to the book called Surveillance Capitalism, which kind of- It's a little different. A little different I think. I don't think it's that much different. It was the same kinda condemnation of tech from a perspective of like well these guys have made the money that I didn't get to make. It's just kind of a jealous mode thing. And not buying any of it. I think Spotify tried to do this with podcasting? And that's where they got see how far they got But that's because of one special thing the ragtag band of developers at podcast index We thwarted their plan single-handed how much effort did it take to thwart their plan not much? Compared to the billions that those guys dropped Google is not right and that's only well because of RSS Google is still trying

1:30:04 They're trying to suck everybody into YouTube music. This is another anti-capitalist screed, I've heard it before from a different angle Anyway just one quick My feeling in general is that this is what somebody wants to try and do with AI And I've listened to the whole interview with Sam Altman and Joe Rogan Sam Altman is full of crap. All he says is, yes AGI will probably be about three decades. Oh okay! What? Yeah it's just 30 years we might have autonomous generative AI you know we'll have... He's getting closer to the truth But even then I mean like no none of this is happening now It's all bull

Maria Ressa's AI Armageddon Warning on PBS

Nobel Peace Prize winner Maria Ressa appeared on PBS to warn of a "tech-enabled Armageddon" fueled by generative AI. Ressa, who was targeted by the Duterte regime in the Philippines, argues that AI spreads lies faster than facts and threatens shared reality. The hosts criticize Ressa for lacking technical expertise and for conflating political authoritarianism with artificial intelligence.

maria ressa· pbs· nobel peace prize· generative ai· armageddon

1:31:02 Well, let me bring us to a real bullshit artist. Please! You have to go into the last week's archives and get those three clips. Is it under bullshit? It should be... This is Maria Ressa Okay oh yes on PBS Oh you got a three-parter I'm excited Now if you want to hear somebody who doesn't know what they're talking about... Oh, this is PBS. This is great! I love that! ...going on with that black- the new black anchor that's there who just seems like a dummy. Is this the girl? The guy? Yeah yeah. That guy seems like a dumb gay guy to me and they're the worst John say it! They are the worst! Unlike smart gay guys

1:31:51 So, uh... This guy's lapping it up. And as you can see in his eyes he has this look of oh my god we're all gonna die. Here we go. or PBS. Veteran journalist and past Nobel Peace Prize winner Maria Ressa has a dire warning about the defense of truth in the digital age. She says we risk losing the information war to adversarial artificial intelligence, and to authoritarian governments who can weaponize that technology. And she's experienced it firsthand. In 2021 she won the Nobel prize for fighting to protect freedom of expression in the Philippines under attack

1:32:33 by the regime of then-President Rodrigo Duterte. Jeff Bennett spoke with Ressa this week at the inaugural summit of the newly launched Institute of Global Politics at Columbia University. Maria Ressa, thank you so much for speaking with us I appreciate it thanks for having me. You have said that world faces a tech enabled Armageddon turbocharged by generative artificial intelligence invoking Armageddon sort of the final battle between good and evil might strike some people as It's an overreach. It might strike some people as being hyperbolic, but why in your view is that a accurate characterization? I've lived through this. You know, I never thought I would get 10 arrest warrants in a little over a year right? I never thought I would have to go to jail. I never thought that we would tear apart our shared reality and doubt facts

1:33:20 and that lies could spread faster than facts. MIT's 2018 study shows lies spread six times faster, and that has turned everything upside down. Tech-enabled Armageddon and Rappler the organization I lead in the Philippines we've been fighting for our survival since 2016." Now wait a minute did she get arrested by an AI? She's like to make you believe that no she got arrested because she was a dissident in the territory under did Turkey when he was running things and he was like putting everyone in jail. And so she got arrested and fought the government or something, I guess ended up gone. So she Nobel Peace Prize for being do-gooder. Now she's an expert on AI with no tech background whatsoever. What she's doing is she's equating AI with this with a dictator

CHAPTER 32 / 51 Discussion

Micro-Targeting and the Motherlode Database Theory

During her PBS interview, Maria Ressa described how machine learning builds "clones" of users in a "motherlode database" to facilitate micro-targeting. She claimed this was used by Russia to impact 126 million Americans in 2016. The hosts mock her terminology, noting that "micro-targeting" is simply a modern term for targeted advertising that has existed for decades.

micro-targeting· machine learning· data brokers· russian interference· pbs

1:34:12 Yeah. Who makes unintelligent decisions? I guess. Hmm... The fact that we're still here- Stop it, stop it! Now that you brought THAT up Why is she on this show being interviewed by PBS breathlessly?! That's what I'd like to know! Oh come on! She's not an expert It doesn't matter who isn't a- Who IS the expert on AI Elon Musk? Well, she's not. They can't get Elon Musk! Sam Altman?! He's boring... he's BORING! Well this girl is kind of boring too. Oh yeah yeah here we go The fact that we're still here shows you that doing the right thing IS the right thing but it's going to get worse so the first time that you had I'm sorry the revelation of doing the right thing is the right thing

1:35:02 It is the right thing and it's gonna get worse. You bet! It's going to get worse so... So you're supposed to say, yep yep not you bad. Oh I cannot believe it The jury will disregard my bet. It's yep, yep. You had humanity con first contact with AI is really machine learning when everything that you post on social media this is social media right? Everything you post is pulled together by machine learning and then that used to build a model of you that knows you better than you know yourself replace the word model with clone so we're cloned then AI comes in and takes all of our clones

1:35:41 Puts it together in a mother load database. That's what used to my... Does Oracle make that? The Motherload Database is that... I think Motherlode Databases is great name for product You've heard of MSQL, uh-uh this is the Motherload Database! Puts it together in a mother load database. That's what used to micro target Micro-targeting is not the same as media advertising. She's literally describing data brokers, it already exists lady it's not AI. Media advertising you see the same things right but micro targeting sells your weakest moment to a message to someone who will pay for it and that could be a company or that could be a government right? Right! And that nudges you and when it becomes relentless

1:36:29 it becomes information operations. Those vulnerabilities in the tech platforms have been exploited by geopolitical power, America in 2016 126 million Americans were impacted or touched by Russian information warfare. Nice sound effect! Oh my goodness. All these platforms are going to suck! Everything's gonna suck! Mastodon... You know, the idea of micro-targeting which is targeted advertising Hello 1980s! Right hello 1970 for that matter I mean I first... I'm gonna get my milk it's gonna be ordered the minute it's out in my fridge It's gonna be so smart The world will be groovy Micro targeting

AI Guardrails and the Proliferation of Fake Imagery

The discussion continues regarding "guardrails" in AI development, with Ressa suggesting China has implemented them more effectively than the U.S. The hosts express skepticism about what these guardrails actually entail. They point to examples of AI-generated imagery, such as a fake Black Lives Matter protest photo with anatomical errors, as evidence that the technology is currently "not great" and often deceptive.

sam altman· guardrails· black lives matter· generative ai· associated press

1:37:21 So she's bringing this back to the 2022 era and it's just unbelievable to me that this is being played on. PBS should be ashamed of itself for letting this woman ramble like this, she's not saying anything that means anything and this is all bullshit! You know there are US officials there are tech leaders who have said that the future of this country looks fairly bleak if China finds a way to develop AI technology faster than we do. So how do we on the one hand continue to innovate, but on the other hand implement solutions that don't strangle the innovation that were trying to unleash?

1:38:02 Ironically, China which is far from democratic has put guardrails in place around that. Yes on their large language models right and while America says that... Just to say on their large language models right? It's like telling me we all agree China has large language models. They put it in there and they put guardrails around it in the mother Now a journalist would have been sitting there what is said? Well, what specifically are those guard rails and how do they work? But you don't think that that's gonna come out of PBS as a question to you

1:38:41 I think in some future world, maybe. Some past world perhaps? We need a list of all these AI bullcrap words that Sam Alban... guardrails! Guard rails yeah. I like the guard rails word. Yeah they're guard rails they really work. Yeah that's a good point what are the guard rails? What are they and how do they work because it doesn't make sense to even say that has put guardrails in place around that. Yes, on their large language models right? No! There's no evidence, no stories I don't know anything about this guard rails are on their large language models right in the mother load database While America says that remember these companies are driven by profit and surveillance capitalism was the first contact with AI Large language models will have the ability to mimic you

1:39:36 It mimics humanity. And when that happens, it also doesn't tell you it lies. It looks for patterns. It doesn't necessarily find meaning. That's what we've lost here and if you look at the two ways AI have touched us... The first time, it exploited our fear anger and hatred Yeah, I'm going to agree. It mimics humanity it lies yeah because we're all liars of course This is no this is not great man. You couldn't do lie without having AI? Yeah! I was looking at photos Where's it here? I put in the show Is that the end of that clip by the way? Yeah That is the end of the clip. It went on there was telling people you want to go look it up. Let me see if there was this

1:40:27 Associated press photo, and it was of a Black Lives Matter protest. And it's completely AI. There are people with six fingers, there is a guy in the background whose eye is like bulging and all blurred into his face... I love the bulging eyes! It's being... The six finger thing, it just not going away. AI is just not great. Show me a picture with four fingers and thumb but you know what I'm saying? It's not. It's just not great. But people are

1:41:05 People fall for it. I'm telling you, but I am going to save the world for 3% of the people will be saved by our systems that we create with RSS just three percent everyone else is gonna be a bluthering idiot. That's about what I think I can save Is that good enough for a Nobel Peace Prize? Well, we'll have to exaggerate. We'll have to lie just like AI does. We'll have to lie! But we can manage it Here's an example of a human being lying This is again Rear Admiral Kirby and he has asked the question about the President's thinking

CHAPTER 34 / 51 Discussion

John Kirby on Climate Change as an Existential Threat

National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby reaffirms President Biden's belief that climate change is a greater existential threat to humanity than nuclear war. Kirby asserts that this is "just science and fact," even as the U.S. engages in multiple global conflicts. The hosts award this statement "Clip of the Day" for its perceived absurdity in the current geopolitical climate.

john kirby· climate change· nuclear war· existential threat· science

1:41:48 But he's very clear in his obvious lie. I want to play this sound bite for you that is just last month in Vietnam and ask you if this still holds for the president, watch The only existential threat humanity faces even more frightening than a nuclear war Is global warming going above 1.5 degrees in the next 20-10 years Given all the nuclear players in these two areas where we are now engaged on, does the president stand by that comment? Absolutely he does. Climate change is an existential threat it can you know actually threatens and is capable of wiping out all human life on earth over time I mean that's... Wait a minute!

1:42:34 Global warming climate change is in competition with AI who's gonna kill us faster human life on earth over time I mean that's I don't know how more existential you can get to that but that doesn't mean we walk away from our obligations or national security interests in very dangerous parts of the world. frightening than a nuclear war. Is that it's more frightening than a nuclear war in this moment? The president believes wholeheartedly climate change is an existential threat to the all of human life on the planet, that's just science! That's fact Martha, but it doesn't mean that we can't roll back on the other challenges facing this country and our allies and partners around the world. That's just science in fact, Martha! Okay you get a clip of the day for that piece of shit It's just science in fact, Martha, that's all that is I don't like that you disparage my clip that way but I'll take the award thank you And the fact her name is Martha makes it better That's just science in fact, Martha

UAE Purchase of Zimbabwe Land for Carbon Credits

The United Arab Emirates has signed a deal to purchase 7.5 million hectares—approximately 20% of Zimbabwe's land—to be used for carbon offsets. This voluntary carbon market allows emitters to offset their pollution by funding forest conservation projects. The hosts describe the $2 billion market as a "scam" and compare the value of carbon credits to the speculative nature of Bitcoin.

united arab emirates· zimbabwe· carbon credits· forest conservation· climate finance

1:43:36 Just science and fact. It's just science and fact that we're all going to die from global warming! We're not because we are going to save the world... No, no! ...No, we are gonna save the world with carbon credits and right on cue as predicted on this... Wait wait! Carbon credits? Does that change the amount of carbon that is released?! Why you trying be difficult? Just sit back and relax and take the propaganda Do you remember, I had the clips from the big climate change conference in Africa and they were talking about land being carbon sink. So if you own a piece of land in Africa, you can turn that into a carbon credit. Yum! Well wouldn't you know?

1:44:23 The United Arab Emirates has inked a deal to buy 1 5th, that's 20% of Zimbabwe's land for carbon credits. This is great! 7.5 million hectares... There's one born every minute What is the seven point five million hectares? Isn't it is a hector about 14 acres? 14 million acres and like that. I think it's you but I think it's like more two acres approximately per hectare hmm So there it is now look it up the flurry so it's oh, it's okay the global 2 billion dollar voluntary carbon offset market

1:45:07 allows carbon emitters to offset emissions by purchasing credits from emission reducing projects primarily in forest conservation. So... Okay, hectares 2.47 acres so if I have three acres here could i turn that into a carbon credit? Yeah! How much? Not much but I could be 10 bucks it's like a bitcoin. I don't think it's worth the Bitcoin no but it's like a bitcoin You just say, well I got this stuff. Oh yeah you can make it whatever you can get for it And if I plant a tree? No they're carbon credits Man your gold We should have been doing this a long time ago we really should've Money in the bank So very sad, we should take a break but very sad for this next person This although boy timing is everything

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Announces Independent Presidential Run

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. officially left the Democratic Party to run for President as an independent candidate. His siblings issued a statement denouncing his candidacy as "perilous for our country." The hosts discuss the timing of the announcement and how the Democratic National Committee effectively locked him out of the primary process, forcing the independent bid.

1:46:08 This 9-11, 10 times worse than 9-11 which is almost as bad as January 6th could not have come at a worst time for this announcement. A new curveball in the race for president I'm here to declare myself an independent candidate Robert F Kennedy Jr leaving the Democratic Party to run as an independent What are you drinking? It's the polar, just a plain polar seltzer. I've got a few more cans of this left because I opened one earlier you didn't mention it? Oh! I'm drinking a source Perrier lime from the can. Lime ladies and gentlemen. You know if anyone can find the blue bottles of Perrier

1:46:54 Which is lightly carbonated, tastes just like low badois. My favorite sparkling beverage. Oh, low badois? Like boudoir? Like bidet? Badoit. Low Bidet! I don't know...I don't want to drink low bidet The Democrats are frightened that i'm going to spoil the election for President Biden and the Republicans are frightened that i'm gonna spoil it for President Trump The truth is, they're both right. Back in April he launched a long shot bid for the Democratic nomination but his position on vaccines and abortion were out of the party's mainstream. His own siblings denouncing his run as an independent saying Bobby might share the same name as our father but he does not share the same values vision or judgment we denounce his candidacy and believe it to be perilous for our country.

1:47:48 Denounce your own you know one of your own members or your own family. It's disgusting it was pretty bad But this is not good for I mean the timing so I'm he is horrible, but this has also done This like a week ago Or maybe a month from now and wouldn't it wouldn't have mattered by the way? I was gonna say that report indicates that he was thwarted in They did without going into any details. There hasn't even been a democratic convention yet, there hasn't been any primaries... Well he can't get in! He can't even get into the primary. They locked him out is what she should have said. That's what she should have said yes they locked him out

Steve Scalise and the House Speaker Race

The race for Speaker of the House continues with Steve Scalise emerging as a top contender despite his recent cancer diagnosis. Some Republicans, including Marjorie Taylor Greene, have expressed concern about his health. The hosts suggest that Scalise is favored by the establishment because of his support for continued military funding for Ukraine and Israel.

1:48:27 I mean, there's still a lot of time. A lot of things can happen but i see no reason why the military industrial complex...the financial which is the same as the financial complex maybe this is why Steve Scalise possibly can become the new speaker of the house That was my assertion two years ago It was your assertions But you know he has cancer We cant have that guy with cancer Well get rid of Raskin then too Yeah, come on. This is what kind of ex- What kind of? That's that's like the one of the most demoralizing things you can say Hey ma'am I'm sorry You can't run because you got cancer! I mean people survive People live with you know justice and Marjorie Taylor Greene Notice my voice going up when i say her name Marjorie Taylor Greene! But you do that all the time! Marjorie Taylor Greene why she doing it

1:49:26 Like, oh no. Oh no he's got cancer! No we can't have him! He might die before he can sign more money for Ukraine and Israel!" Well they had to put him in my thesis because he's all pro giving more money to Ukraine. So Marjorie... the Democrats should put him in I mean it just takes like 50 of them to say yeah and that the whole thing goes through How much do you think uh so I think the 24 billion for Ukraine, I mean the public money right this is just the stuff that they'll tell us. I think that will now have to move to 50 and Israel we go to 400 billion just for starters. That's too much they don't need that much money down there. For Iran!

1:50:12 Well, no. Iran's different if that happens then we have to start shoveling money down there Yeah! That's what it is for It'd be great And who do we actually need to take out? What do we need to do in Iran to fix it All you need are two low-flying jets Low flying jets and bombs There's a neighborhood where all the mullahs live as known fact They live in these mansions In some kind of walled garden neighborhood And you just go in there and bomb all their houses, then fly back and say I don't know what happened. You just got us fired as the Curry-Dvorak Consulting Group! This is not the right answer. How do we get some real money out of it? Some real money... Oh yeah there's that real money into well... Yeah good question good point. It's not cheap to send a aircraft carrier down there

Bob Menendez Corruption Indictment and Egyptian Bribes

Senator Bob Menendez faces a second corruption indictment, with prosecutors alleging his wife, Nadine Arslanian, acted as a conduit for bribes from Egyptian officials. The indictment claims the couple received hundreds of thousands of dollars and gold bars in exchange for Menendez using his influence on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to approve weapons sales and aid to Egypt.

bob menendez· nadine arslanian· egypt· gold bars· corruption

1:51:00 No, that's expensive. It's a very expensive and they're gonna send another group but I don't have the clip But somebody else came on one of the shows another X arm Of course guy of course And he says yeah, and they got his another group going in and the reporter jumped on him go what this is news Tell me more and then a guy with him That was pretty funny So the other scandal, what was the other scandal? Wiped from the front page. Just so many people benefit from this never let a crisis go to waste Menendez! Menendez! We don't even talk about him anymore Bob Menendez and his corruption scandal No he's a total criminal Well do you remember what I said

1:51:51 No, I do not. I said his wife is the problem Yes you did say that i remember that This is the second time he's been indicted in the last eight years and reports suggest that Menendez' wife played a major role in these murky deals Menendez met his Armenian-American wife, Nadine Arslanian at a restaurant in 2018 and got married in 2020. Prosecutors claim she played a key role in collecting hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of bribes from three New Jersey businessmen seeking help from the powerful lawmaker Her role was so vital that she was the one who introduced Menendez to parties connected to the Egyptian government, according to the indictment document. The filing also states that Nadine was unemployed before they met but the following year she incorporated a new consulting company Strategic International Business Consultants LLC

1:52:42 After their marriage in 2020, she came into possession of a large amount of gold. She later sold some of the bars for between $200,000 to 400,000 according to the senator's financial disclosure reports Now here's a bit of context. Menendez was the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee until the investigation became public, that post gave him a lot of influence in US foreign policy This is where Wael Hana comes in Nadine and Hana were friends for years before her marriage to Menendez According to the indictment, Hana helped arrange meetings and dinners between Menendez, Nadine and Egyptian military and intelligence officials

1:53:20 This was part of a covert initiative aimed at using the senator's influence to boost USAID to Egypt. After one of these meetings in 2018, Menendez texted his wife telling her to inform Hanna that he would sign off on a multi-million dollar weapons sale to Egypt. So Menendez should not be impeached for corruption but for being an idiot? This woman snookered him in! You know, I don't know that this is really what... This sounds to me like they're putting out a story that parallels the Biden story with his son. It's his fault and i think it's just what puts in my mind and I have a clip

National Archives Records on Biden Family Business Emails

Newly released records from the National Archives show that Joe Biden's vice-presidential office exchanged over 19,000 emails with Hunter Biden's firm, Rosemont Seneca, and thousands more with his brother James Biden. These findings contradict the President's previous claims that he was never involved in his family's business dealings. The House Oversight Committee describes this as "extensive commingling."

1:54:02 New bad stuff about Biden. Hey, screw the war in Israel we've got the Biden and Menendez stuff for you right here people. New records show that President Biden was involved in his son and brother's businesses as vice president America First Legal published the records from The National Archives following a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit National Archives records show that then Vice President Biden's office exchanged over 19,000 emails with Hunter Biden's investment firm Rosemont Seneca. Over 4,000 emails with Hunter Biden himself. Over 1700 emails with his brother James Biden and over 3700 emails was James Biden's Lionhole Group. Biden has previously claimed he was not involved in his son and brothers business dealings

1:54:49 America First Legal said on X Today, quote there was extensive commingling between them. The House Oversight Committee which has been investigating the Biden's family business dealings also commented saying Biden statement quote doesn't match his track record. Oh, yes. You know I don't think anyone can say that they don't feel much better after just listening to this hour and 15 minutes of the No Agenda show. I mean you're not all spun up, you're not all worried about tomorrow. Tomorrow oh it's gonna be attacks everywhere in America!

Charlie Kirk's Local Appearance and "Spun-Up" Rhetoric

The hosts discuss a recent local appearance by conservative activist Charlie Kirk. They note that while Kirk is a "sharp guy," his rhetoric tends to leave audiences "riled up" and "spun-up," which they contrast with their own goal of providing a "Xanax-like" deconstruction of media narratives. They briefly mention the "Christ cuck" label again before transitioning to show logistics.

And so I don't know, and I have nothing against Charlie Kirk personally he's probably... He is a very sharp guy but everybody came back so riled up! Yeah I've heard some of his stuff it's like he does it on purpose he gets people like you said spun-up yeah and this is not good we're like Xanax well no that bad

No Agenda Value-for-Value Model and Social Media Grumpiness

Adam and John discuss the "value-for-value" model of the show, which relies on listener contributions rather than traditional advertising. They touch on their experiences with Mastodon and the "signal-to-noise" ratio on social media. Dvorak jokes about his reputation for being "grumpy" with listeners, while Curry emphasizes the importance of RSS in maintaining independent media delivery.

Bingit.io Search and Massachusetts Migrant Housing in Hotels

Using the search tool Bingit.io, the hosts connect a "boots on the ground" report from a month ago to current news about Governor Maura Healey's administration. Hotels in Massachusetts are reportedly canceling reservations for veterans and wedding parties to accommodate migrants under government contracts. The hosts highlight the financial incentive for hotels to prioritize government-funded migrant housing over traditional guests.

bingit.io· maura healey· massachusetts· migrants· veterans

2:03:12 This bingit.io, can I just give an example of how cool since we're in the donation segment? How cool bingit.io is okay? Hold on a second yeah so i was looking for something about a new story and this goes back to September 14th so we're almost one month ago And it only took me, I want to say 37 seconds to get exactly what i wanted and that includes the editing of the harp at the beginning and end. Listen to this report from show 1590. I have a boots on the ground report that is troubling from Massachusetts in the morning boys quick update from the horrible state of Tach-sachusetts

2:03:56 My cousin is set to get married over Columbus Day weekend. The groom's family is from out of town and they rented two floors of a hotel so they could all be together for the weekend 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 Right! That was one month ago One month ago on your NO Agenda show and what pops up today? Early this year, travel agent Mark Mansback booked 400 rooms for clients to stay near Foxborough for the big Army-Navy game. Most of his clients are veterans and plan to stay at hotels like Comfort Inn in Best Western

2:04:41 Only recently being told up to 70 of those rooms were cancelled to make room for migrants now staying there. It was a done deal, I mean they'd already started taking in migrants. I was very concerned and troubled to hear that any veteran may have had their rooms canceled. Governor Maura Healey has directed her Secretary of Veteran Affairs to help those veterans but for many the damage is already done as I understand it those were decisions made by area hotels. The hotel management confirms they are providing shelter and support to refugees saying we consider it up privileged to offer a safe haven to those who have been forced to flee their homes due to challenging circumstances. We know that's code for man, the government gave us a lot more money than those stupid veterans. A lot more money than you vets are going to give us for these matters. Stupid veterans? That's no good! We don't care about them getting... No we get twice as much money from my from four housing and migrant we get it straight from the government checks cash And the governor is like oh Oh no what I can't believe that That's crazy I had no idea this was happening

The hosts review the artwork for recent episodes, focusing on the Fibonacci and "golden ratio" themes. They credit artists like Fo Diddly and Sir Shung for their contributions. Adam Curry announces a special three-week promotion that will lead up to the 1600th episode and the show's 16th anniversary, involving extra work from the show's producer, Jay.

And it's just like it was it's just a good-looking piece It actually probably wasn't a Fibonacci Golden ratio because of this square size of the art

2:07:28 So it felt it felt a little off. I don't know, I think it looks pretty legit to me But whatever the case it was dynamite and it just worked out Yeah as a pretty piece and then is a little different It was great what else did we look at there wasn't really much? There's a lot of stuff that could be used Biden kicking the dog but the Biden wasn't good yeah We didn't talk enough about biting kicking the dog anyway No Who else was there? But Biden kicks dogs, okay. Well good to know Yes No it really wasn't that much I mean in hindsight i think the lather rinse repeat by the spook was kind of nice uh two different versions but still

2:08:22 It just didn't compare to the film. No, it wasn't artistic enough Yeah a bit the the calendar ripping off the Ukrainian flag revealing the Israeli flag underneath it was just great concept It was the same guy he was competing against himself yeah You get that a lot when somebody's on a roll they got some good ideas in their head and they do a couple art pieces or three sometimes and They're all from the same guy there that once we look at yeah And I'm looking at what's come in so far We'll have to see Just step it up people.

Adobe AI Audio Fix and the Taylor Swift NFL PR Stunt

The hosts experiment with an Adobe AI tool designed to clean up audio, which mistakenly changed the word "win" to "wing." This leads to a discussion about Taylor Swift's recent appearances at NFL games. Curry asserts that the relationship is a calculated PR stunt managed by a sports management firm to boost NFL viewership numbers among younger demographics.

adobe· taylor swift· nfl· pr stunt· ai audio

2:31:16 Hold on a second, I gotta boost this next one. This is the winner hold on...this is the winner Let me just boost up the volume sometimes these aren't good okay here we go this is the winner There's just not enough of Taylor Swift Come on Come on, that's the winner right there. I like it! I may have a beater when it beats... Now I have a couple here that I thought I could fit but only actually one and the other ones are just an example of using the Adobe thing and having it come out cleaner but changing some word Now listen to, I've got two of them. ISO big win and then ISO big win fixed Play ISO Big Win and this is the clip i wanted to fix So... A BIG WIN

2:32:00 Okay, so a big win. Yeah So a big win this sounds like Bigwig almost it was so well he said but that's the problem I Adobe couldn't understand it either, but he's but it was big win okay? So here's the adobe product Fixed here we go so a big wheel be weaned A big what a big wien a big wing a big wing Thanks to Adobe change wind to wing wing yeah Thanks for nothing. That's AI for you, so now let's go to my other one which is fact check true fact-check true No no no this beats it I mean this there is just not enough of Taylor Swift come on That's just that step that wins so I did a little digging in this Taylor Swift story Why

2:32:59 Because this seems to me to be a play by one public relations firm, to get NFL as one of their clients because they have a bunch of players and Taylor Swift for some unknown reason is participating. I'll probably write this up in the newsletter she is managed publicity wise by a sports management company that manages athletes Yeah, and she's there among the athletes in this it makes nothing but sense that they set her up with is a phony Boyfriend story which is Hollywood does all the time. Yeah of course But let's do it for the NFL get their numbers up She didn't show up in the last game And we'll never hear from her again in the football era and she never was boyfriend girlfriend bullcrap But people lapped it up

Extinction Rebellion and Dutch Fossil Fuel Subsidies

Climate activists from Extinction Rebellion are celebrating a motion in the Dutch Parliament to phase out fossil fuel subsidies following a month of protests. Adam Curry, drawing on his knowledge of the Netherlands, dismisses the "win" as "cow crap," noting that the current cabinet has fallen and cannot pass new laws until after the November elections.

extinction rebellion· netherlands· fossil fuels· subsidies· climate activism

2:33:46 Do you have a clip to go along with this or no? I just brought it because you brought that clip and i had to say something just all your assertions All right, so um I got some. I have some offbeat clips before we do off beat let's end with that So I can just depress everybody well they're not off beating that way their news clips include this one which is Holland climate change. Oh here we go... In the Netherlands, climate activists are celebrating after lawmakers Tuesday approved a motion requiring the Dutch cabinet to come up with a plan to phase out fossil fuel subsidies This comes after sustained campaign by activist including nearly month-long blockade of major highway This is Lucas Vinips of Extinction Rebellion Netherlands

2:34:34 After a month long of daily protests and more than 9,000 arrests the Dutch Parliament asked the cabinet to come up with scenarios for phase-out of fossil fuel subsidies. During this campaign we achieved transformation I think of Dutch society with three quarters of people now wanting a phase out of fossil fuel subsidies and even one third of people want immediate stop on fossil fuel subsidies that is the Extinction Rebellion demand So a big win. Yes, let me tell you this is bullcrap from the different this Dutch guy and I tell you why okay? You ready for this? This cabinet fell awhile ago so they cannot make any laws or anything until there's a new cabinet after elections in November. He is full of what we call cow crap in Holland

2:35:31 Well the other thing about that clip is that they want to end fossil fuel subsidies. What what is that? It's not about ending fossil fuel! It doesn't matter we got those idiots off of the A12 it was annoying, we couldn't shoot them with water cannons because they were crying all the time about it so we just say okay you get something from us go away you children That's what was actually pretty good. I think, I think I could nail that guy's accent You nailed it! You nailed it you nailed it. You will get nasty notes from some of your Dutch compatriots No no they agree They think is all annoying Let's do something depressing for a moment and then we'll do something funny You recall the well actually you had the clips of the DNA

Dr. Karen DeVore on Post-Vaccine Dermatological Issues

Dermatologist Dr. Karen DeVore testifies about a surge in unusual symptoms among her vaccinated patients, including "itching from the bones out" and aggressive skin cancers. She reports that previously controlled conditions like psoriasis and eczema are becoming unmanageable. DeVore also notes a rise in rapid aging, neurological issues, and rare leukemias within her local community in Spartanburg.

karen devore· dermatology· covid-19 vaccine· autoimmune disease· shingles

2:36:22 Gene Jock from the South Carolina, what was it? It was a special hearing about COVID. About the vaccines about DNA being in the... Oh yeah! DNA being in the vaccines and going into your system as you know recombinant putting it into your your genetic material. Yes, none of this seems to be doing very well for a lot of people and the same ad hoc committee on the health department of health seems to be making a lot of people sick Well here is Dr Karen DeVore she's a dermatologist nice lady two-parter in last 2 1⁄2 years since the vaccine has been widely promoted

2:37:11 And many patients have taken it out of fear and isolation. The patients who took the vaccine still get COVID, and now I see patients and could not believe the attorney who spoke this morning said he had heard the same thing because in 30 years of practicing dermatology, I've never heard people describe their symptoms this way. I am itching from my bones out. I am on fire from the inside. I see the most unusual rashes and they don't respond well to treatment, and they last for months or years. I see previously well-controlled autoimmune diseases like psoriasis and eczema and lupus now totally out of control. I see aggressive severe shingles it is more painful it is lasting longer and this is even in those who've had the shingles vaccine

2:38:07 I see rapidly growing skin cancers, including basal cells that are just supposed to be traditionally very slow-growing. I see squamous cells, cutaneous squamous cells that are metastasizing much more often than they ever did before and melanomas have become so unusual and much harder to diagnose. They're much more advanced at presentation And I have to biopsy more and more things. It's all in vaccinated patients." So that is her professional, in her profession, in the medical field of medicine. Here she talks about some other ancillary things she has noticed.

2:38:46 Patients that I've seen regularly for six to twelve months, every 6-12 months for 30 years they're aging more rapidly. They've got unhealthy weight loss, their balance is bad, they are falling, they are black and blue, they can't get on an exam table And you see their medical updates since they were in and they have had atrial fibrillation, pacemakers heart attacks strokes blood clots DVTs pulmonary embolism Parkinson's ALS tremors nerve palsies miscarriages infertility Did I mention aggressive new-onset cancers, recurrent stage 4 cancers after 20 years of remission? I know four people in one small zip code in Spartanburg that have rare leukemias. Three or four of them are dead now.

2:39:30 In over 30 years of medical practice, I've probably only known one or two people who had Lou Gehrig's or ALS disease. And they were distant and not really third-of-fourth contacts. I now know three people in my immediate range of contact." You know what's to blame? Putin! Okay, well that you're right. That was a depressing clip but now now I'm gonna take you out of it and taking this lie I still have another news clip before you take us out with something No, cuz yeah, I want you to end with something light. I don't have something like I have what-what clip Okay, do we want? It's shouldn't that be the last clip the what-what clip okay? It's actually a good last clip because you go what oh go what what yep yep

Dr. Michael Osterholm on COVID-19 Heart Complications

Dr. Michael Osterholm discusses new research showing that SARS-CoV-2 can infect white blood cells, leading to an inflammatory response that increases the risk of heart attacks and strokes for up to a year post-infection. The hosts note that this "mechanistic link" confirms what they have been reporting for over a year regarding vascular problems associated with the virus.

michael osterholm· cardiovascular· covid-19· inflammation· long covid

2:40:22 Here is dr. Osterholm as you know he has long he has long Kovac yes on kovat Yeah, the guy with they got sick isn't yeah right sick as a dog He was he was the og we're all gonna die We need to get vaccinated met him at Joe Rogan first time I went on three million people gonna die OG He has a podcast and oh man, COVID is all COVID. The researchers found that SARS-CoV2 can infect and replicate in white blood cells leading to an inflammatory response that is known to increase the risk of heart attacks and stroke. And this elevated risk can last up to a year after infection.

2:40:59 In additional research that has been done, it has been demonstrated that individuals up to one year after their COVID case have an increased risk for cardiovascular events. Cardiovascular events? Specifically, that is at least seven times higher for COVID-related infections than for influenza. We have been observing an increase in heart attacks and stroke with COVID-19 infections throughout the pandemic, but until now there was no concrete biologic evidence linking COVID-19 to this increase as the authors of the paper explained their findings provide for the first time a direct mechanistic link between COVID-19 infection and the heart complications it provokes

2:41:42 Vascular problems. We knew this, we knew this a year- more than a year ago and we got it from these two women Do you know anything about COVID dick shrinkage? Yeah! Okay so... Remember that?! It's proof it's COVID Kovac over did shrink it was I think that shows off the rails at that mark. That's why I stopped it Yeah, all right What what give me some one? Yeah over there over dead guy over hold whatever they always host our home Oh sure oyster Hoyt he's making himself sick At this point yeah, I think you're right It's a very good. You know how you can just get yourself again using the term spun up yeah

French Troop Withdrawal and US Presence in Niger

French soldiers have begun withdrawing from Niger following orders from the military junta that took power in July. While the U.S. has formally designated the takeover as a coup and suspended aid, officials stated they have no plans to remove the 1,000 U.S. military personnel currently stationed in the country. The hosts highlight the irony of the U.S. remaining while the French are ousted.

niger· french army· military junta· coup· us military

2:42:25 He's just doing it to himself the poor guy. I feel sorry for him, okay? This is this is the update on Niger This our African story right at the end of this show so people can complain you know You can't is it Niger or New Year's showing we got their funny stuff coming up after this is it Niger or Niger? Niger So this is the Niger clip and it's just the update. And it's interesting because of the very ending, the little ending at the end makes you go what? Here we go. The first set of French soldiers have started to withdraw from the country after orders by Niger's military junta following their July takeover in the capital Niamey

2:43:07 Residents welcome the French soldiers' departure. Today, this batch of French soldiers who have arrived and who will God willing shortly be taking to the road to return home is only the culmination of a struggle that people have engaged in. The people are on their feet to demand the departure of the French soldiers from Niger soil because one thing is certain—Niger remains for the people of Niger This comes as the U.S. formally designated the ouster of President Mohamed Bazoum and military takeover as a coup, suspending aid to Niger. But U.S. officials say they do not plan to remove any of its 1,000 military personnel from Niger. What? That's what I said! What are we doing? We have... So the French were ousted and then we still have our troops there?

2:44:02 And we don't plan to move anything, yeah screw you. We got our place and then we're still... You know? We're a kick-ass country! It's unbelievable. Uh, you know they say that the empire is in decline and sometimes it kind of feels like that I see no evidence of this Well maybe for for you in California everything's all hunky dory I don't know. It's not feeling so great, but okay there's no you know what the real empire that EU they're in decline they're up shits Creek. The EU has a real... Thanks to us! Yeah, thanks to us. Was that it? was that your end? That's the final one? Yes, and yeah its an Africa clip so there ya go Good work well I don't think we have anything else but uh I think we've kind of covered it all

Show Outro and "Babies on Bayonets" Media Mix

The show concludes with a reminder of the Sunday broadcast and a promotion for the No Agenda stream. The final segment features an "end of show mix" that juxtaposes historical war propaganda—such as the "babies in incubators" story from the Gulf War—with current media reports about atrocities in Israel. The mix serves as a final deconstruction of how emotional narratives are used to drive public support for war.

As best we can as best we can well that's good news because We're going to end everything with oh man Some end of show mixes and we got these are beauties by the way for people out there don't hang up I'm gonna do the bomb them again mix those throw that in there since it was topical We got Maddie J miracle wolf It's a brand new ones up next on no agenda stream calm we have let me see Abs in a six-pack with Sir Seat Sitter and special guest Midnight Mike from OBDM.

2:45:40 From PodcastApps.com More deconstruction on Sunday coming to you from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region number six in the morning everybody I am Adam Curry and from Northern Silicon Valley where I think we've kind of got our summer finally, I'm John C. Dvorak We return on Sunday right here Please remember us at Dvorak.org slash NA Until then, adios mofos, a-hooey hooey and such! I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna bomb-bomb. I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna bomb-bomb the shit out of you. I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna bomb-bomb. I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna bomb-bomb. Now your talking about me.

2:46:42 Snake East, underhanded people. That's how you're talking about snake east. I'm gonna end it, be back Sweet dreams, good dreams I'm gonna end it, be back Sweet dreams, good dreams I'm gonna end it, be back How you talking about sweet dreams? I'm going to bomb this shit out of a fucking toilet We need to kill and bomb them Bomb them We need to kill and bomb them

2:47:31 30 to 50 percent of the population had relations back to Germany. So there had to be this very clever propaganda campaign, it's known today as babies on bayonets. I could not help but think of my nephew. Scattered in the mud, the bodies of lifeless children suspected of being poisoned in a chemical attack allegedly orchestrated by their own government We have all seen reports of terrible chemical weapons attacks in Syria They took babies out of incubators and left them to die on a cold floor

2:48:15 Kids in incubators and they were thrown out of the incubators so that Kuwait could be systematically dismantled. 40 babies and young children, babies being killed, they've been killed even beheaded. Babies and toddlers were found. Babies and young children with their heads cut off. Children with their heads decapitated. Babies found dead next to their cots. That has been confirmed. Civilized countries of this world to do everything within their power to remove this scourge from the face of our earth. Emotions drive wars, not facts! It is so evil that it's beyond comprehension and beyond belief. They took the babies out in incubators? This is a bomb, this is a fuse...this bomb has to be filled. Thomas is The Original Snack Theory

2:49:12 Pay attention please. It's a classic tale of an authoritarian and this little tale of extremism And sadly, so many of those extremists are determined to return to a place where people could be in charge of their lives feel empowered say what they want. So it is like a cult

2:49:55 in order to try to end our democracy. There needs to be a formal deprogramming of the cult members. Gun control and climate change, and the economy and taxes... What is it you want? Make America great again! And I don't say that lightly.
