About this episode

Eli Lilly secures FDA approval for Zepbound as pharmaceutical analysts project the chronic weight management market to become the largest in history. The drug, a rebranded version of the diabetes medication Mounjaro, enters a landscape where Dr. Payal Kohli and other medical professionals are already rebranding sugar addiction as food noise. This shift toward lifelong pharmaceutical intervention comes as marketing budgets for GLP-1 agonists reach record highs despite safety warnings regarding thyroid C-cell tumors found in rat studies.

In the political arena, the third Republican primary debate in Miami saw Vivek Ramaswamy call for the resignation of RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel while labeling Nikki Haley as scum during a heated exchange over TikTok and Chinese military investments. Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton appeared on The View to compare Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler, warning of a domestic military crackdown if he secures a second term. These domestic tensions mirror international escalations as the Pentagon launches airstrikes against Iranian-linked facilities in Syria following forty separate attacks on American troops in the region.

San Francisco officials conducted massive sweeps of homeless encampments to gussy up the city for the arrival of Chinese leader Xi Jinping at the APEC summit. On the ground in Pennsylvania, election officials in Northampton County confirmed that a clerical coding error by ES&S caused voting machines to flip yes and no votes on the ballot. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. also clarified his stance on vaccine safety trials during a rare NPR appearance while his own family continues to publicly oppose his presidential campaign.

Disney Corporate Governance, Nelson Peltz and Ike Perlmutter

A discussion regarding activist investor Nelson Peltz and former Marvel owner Ike Perlmutter attempting a leverage buyout or board takeover of Disney. The move is characterized as an effort to strip the company of "woke" influences following a period of financial decline.

Owned Marvel sold it to Disney and then got fired That they're trying to do a you know like a leverage buyout a buyback yeah Buy out the buy out all of Disney with now with that Nelson guy That would be pretty spectacular if they did that.

Get rid of all the woke people

CHAPTER 02 / 41 Discussion

FCC Broadband Equity, Biden Executive Order and Internet Control

Clarification regarding rumors that the U.S. government is taking over the internet. President Joe Biden issued an executive order utilizing the Infrastructure Act to instruct the FCC to enforce equity in broadband access, which critics view as a backdoor to Title II regulation without Congressional approval.

fcc· broadband equity· joe biden· infrastructure act· title ii

02:04 Well then the whole company would fall apart, the whole company's woke. There is nothing left! Nothing left it just bones Dry bones rattling Oh yeah oh yeah Let me just start off by saying everybody don't worry The US government is not going to be taking over the internet next week Holy crap Did you follow this? No, I didn't and i've avoided it. Oh! You might as well do it Yeah well there's not much... Here's what happened So the Hill Country Ladies text message group goes nuts. Tina texts me, she says hey they're saying that US government's taking over the internet next week! I'm like oh... Do they know that the U.S. government was the Internet for a while? This is my don't even go there of like okay you know and but yeah

02:58 The way that sounds is like, oh what are they going to do now? I immediately think net neutrality something like that because the FCC is working on that. Apparently it was Glenn Beck who said that like, yeah! The US government's taking over the internet next week And although it is wrong what's going on here, the FCC is trying to get kind of a backdoor into Title II without having Congress pass Title II. So Biden came out with an executive order that activates another little unknown fact in the Infrastructure Act—the Greeney Bill

03:37 which instructs the FCC to basically force with, you know, with a $56 billion budget which was assigned to them as part of that trillion dollar bill. To force equity into broadband access So what it'll do, now I look through all...I looked at the executive order. I looked through with the FCC's documents there is no traffic management or unlawful content anywhere in those documents yet but it does seem like they're going to force commercial companies to do stuff which is wrong by itself but its not quite the government taking over the internet

CHAPTER 03 / 41 Discussion

Mandatory Alcohol Detection, 2026 Vehicle Safety Regulations

A review of legislation requiring all new vehicles manufactured after 2026 to include passive alcohol detection technology. Representative Thomas Massie attempted to strike the mandate, but the provision remains, leading to concerns about the inability to disable such systems in future internal combustion and electric vehicles.

alcohol detection· thomas massie· madd· 2026 cars· internal combustion

04:22 Which is just one of those memes and people go crazy. They get all spun up over it, like calm down people. Lawsuits will ensue Oh of course! This'll- this'll go nowhere It's the same as... I love the disinformation Um they passed uh the... They passed a bill where where your car has to have some kind of an alcohol detection device, it won't start. I was like they passed that two years ago but no one's... Old news. No one you know Massey i guess tried to get an amendment which of course was struck down and like yeah of course that's gonna get struck down not a single one of these congress men or women want mothers against drunk drivers but you know

05:06 protesting outside your door you look like a douchebag and you get code pink and all those people. These people are spineless, they don't care! And it's coming 2026 any new car will have to blow into a tube before it starts Which is why I'm hanging on to my internal combustion engine. Gene, I am sure that can't be disabled and rejiggered? It's so bad! I had to take my car in because... ...I had three times that it didn't start and it was like some weird bug they don't-can't find, so You have a bug? Yeah, in the car somewhere. It's a glitch! Well they can't reproduce it so they needed my car for at least a week I said okay but give me give me a good replacement car you know and then there they say well what electric vehicle do you want like what I don't want an electric vehicle that's pretty much all we have What?!

Toyota Hilux Champ, $10,000 Basic Truck and Analog Skills

Toyota is releasing a stripped-down truck for approximately $10,000 in international markets, featuring manual windows and no radio. The discussion transitions into a tangent about the inability of younger generations to operate manual window cranks or read analog clocks.

06:06 I live in Fredericksburg, you're in Austin. I can't even make it back... You can't even make the drive! So I got this podunk piece of crap because the only one that has gas in it but this is bad so we know all our cars are electric why? I say oh if you think about it this is what I was told If you think about it they're much easier to maintain Oh is that the reason why This is, we're headed for a bad time with these EVs. It's a bad time. Hold on to your gasoline vehicles people. Yeah or buy used one now while you can. Oh and Toyota I love what Toyota did that it's not gonna be sold in America but they have a truck for $10,000 there'll be a brand new truck

06:55 You know, with a bed. A payload bed. Ten grand brand new because it has nothing! No electric windows no radio... It has you know mirror you adjust with your hand outside the window which have to roll down completely stripped down like that's beautiful I'd love to have that truck yeah and think only ten grand That's pretty cheap. Yeah, I mean any kind of moderate truck? I wonder how many people alive today amongst our audience in fact that would see the hand window crank and wonder what it was They'd think they're doing something lewd

07:38 What is this? Whoa! How does this thing work?! Hey, what is it supposed to do? People can't even tell time in an analog clock. Of course they'll have no idea... We've talked about that quite a bit and we get a lot of pushback. Oh yeah, well I can. No most people can't tell time from an analog clock. Young people new new people New people not most people. Which is the majority of people nowadays Ah, well. Since he's getting no press I feel really bad for him this is it he's out of the picture his exit stage left poor Volodymyr Zelensky can't get any more dough He went on meet the press

CHAPTER 05 / 41 Discussion

Volodymyr Zelensky, Russian Asset Seizure and U.S. Credit

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky appeared on Meet the Press with Kristen Welker to request further financial support. Zelensky proposed that the U.S. seize $300 billion in frozen Russian assets to fund the war or provide Ukraine with credit to be repaid after the conflict.

volodymyr zelensky· ukraine· russian assets· meet the press· military aid

08:20 with Kristen Welker and I just have a very short clip because most of it was he was doing in Ukrainian and then they had a voiceover translating in real time but then all sudden he switched to English You know, he had this whole thing like hey you know we got a 40 billion dollar hole in our budget. We need more money we need the money Hey just so you know EU has sent us 19 billion. They're not...you're not the only people but we need more money please America! We need more money! We need more money He's got this voice And then it came up with you know what? Just use the Russian money This is very important and its just if we will have interest from these

09:02 $300 billion of Russian assets. we will manage how to close the half of the gap of the budget. Why, why take money from Americans? Take the assets of Russia! We are okay with this. The second one if there is a question through society of United States about military and about something else okay let's co-produce it It will be win-win. The third one, if you can't give us some financial support... Okay! Okay please give us a credit!

09:47 Hey man, give us a credit man! And we will give you back money after the war. And the force... We can buy some ammunition. We will buy it and defend our jobs. We will have taxes and we'll buy from American companies just allow us and that's it Give me some credit man come on give us credit but it'll be okay we'll pay back after the war Oh my, he should open a GoFundMe. Do a telethon or something." It's getting pretty pathetic! He just—he's been dropped like a hot potato. He's learning what it's like now to be on the world stage as part of the douchebags. That's how it goes bro. You're done and it seems like there is now everyone looking for solutions stuff that Zelensky will have to say Did I lose you? No, I thought I lost you there. Were you just in thought Yeah well

10:47 But I missed that unfortunately. Uh, I'll catch it later He's quite the character at this point. Yeah, he'd be back home fighting and he was at home. He was actually home Oh what they were doing about a video? Yes zoom yeah doing a zoom with very little latency on my head doing zoom very little latency You never know where that guy is have you noticed those flags down the street just some flag maker Who has gotten really smart have you noted this that all flags are All countries are now using these cones. It's no longer really a flag, it's like... ...it's like a cone made of plastic or something so that the colors wrap nicely you know? It's not just a flag that's droopy on a pole everyone has them!

CHAPTER 06 / 41 Discussion

Yoder Law, Straight Pride Flag and Classroom Lawsuits

A lawyer on TikTok is promoting a "Straight Flag" packet designed to challenge the presence of Pride flags in public schools. The strategy involves citing viewpoint discrimination case law to force schools to either display the straight flag or face lawsuits for punitive damages ranging from $300,000 to $1.1 million.

yoder law· pride flag· viewpoint discrimination· public schools· lawsuits

11:36 You haven't noticed these? No, I have not. I don't know what you're talking about the cone now if you look at any like the cone of silence or a traffic cone Yeah like a traffic cone yeah The flag...the flags now before and you can just go online look at Biden anybody they all have these cones all of a sudden that's the new way of displaying your flag Cone flags it's a new thing Don't we have a funny clip uh of the lawyer with a cool idea. You know there is a straight flag now all of the sudden? A straight, oh as opposed to an LGBTQ flag? Yeah it's a straight flag and its basically black and white stripes with the symbols for male and female interlinked in the middle Oh no! How racist And so there's this strait flag and this lawyer I got this from TikTok

12:30 I think has one of the best ideas ever because it's called the prep. The clip is the pride flag lawyer Every classroom in America has a rainbow flag or progress pride flag, whatever they all look like barcodes to me at this point Point being is what about this flag? How many of you guys have ever seen one of these reason I'm asking is because Viewpoint discrimination is very clear. You can't censor one person's view on a topic if it's being spoken about at all, you're going to talk about gay stuff you could talk about straight stuff so let's say you go to school ask a teacher to hang up one of these in the classroom next to the pride flag they're gonna probably say no

13:07 But let's just say that they didn't know any better. So you need to educate them and you give them a packet full of case law that lays out very clearly their obligations under federal law and what is required of them as a government entity or in public schools, then you go back the next day and ask him hang the flag up again? Well at that point if they say no, that's intentional discrimination because you put them on notice of their obligations and that could give rise to punitive damages I've seen cases go for anywhere between 300 000 to 1.1 million And it just so happens I have a packet full of this information, case law laying it out very clearly on my website. So you can go to our website yoderlevalia.com or yoderesq.com both under the resource tab and get your packet downloaded for free go to school ask them hang up one of these see what they say if they say no give them the packet they say no again sell em

14:01 Pretty simple. Let's see what happens. Oh, yeah Yeah, we need more lawsuits in the classroom. That is great idea You just stoking up for yoder esq come now here so I went there to get the packet no Of course you did and so they you know So they're they have this form you fill out and the form doesn't work as one of these some Some bonehead I think it was done on purpose So the phone so when you try to put a phone number and no matter what number you put in there It refuses to take it. No, yeah, then it will get send you the packet and doesn't register So I think he's been sabotaged but luckily info at yoder esq comm just sent him a note And get the packet directly. You have your back tell me fix their website is your packet on its way? I don't know yet. Oh, I just did this yesterday. Well, I'm so proud of you

14:52 Yeah, well there's what we need is more lawsuits. You're right yeah more in the classroom while you're at it Get some get some cameras in that classroom John C. DeMora a lot of this wouldn't be taking place if they had put put cameras in the classroom Yes So I don't, I feel the need because there's a lot of things going on but we're big pharma is at it again and it's really so blatant now. And there's so much money coming into mainly the M5M networks but this is a global thing. This is global

Eli Lilly Zepbound, Obesity Opportunity and Pharma Marketing

The FDA approved Eli Lilly’s drug Zepbound for chronic weight management, which is a rebranded version of the diabetes drug Mounjaro. Financial analysts describe the "obesity opportunity" as potentially the largest pharmaceutical market in history, with marketing budgets expected to reach record highs.

eli lilly· zepbound· monjaro· fda· obesity

15:29 And I just need to point some of it out the way that this works. As you are being sold under the guise of, here's a doctor telling you on your morning television show what's good for you or what's not good for you and it's all marketing all of it. This is in regards to the fantastic news of a quote-unquote new, new weight loss drug called ZepBound. Well in tonight's Health Watch the FDA approves a new drug in the battle against obesity A new version of the diabetes drug Monjaro will now be marketed as ZepBound it's for chronic weight management In trials people who... Wait hold on stop stop I can't

16:14 Quite make it out. I couldn't make it out when you said out and maybe the volumes to name is the name of the product death-bound Death bound why would anyone take a drug named death? I agree that this you know, so well as we'll hear in a moment This is just a relaunch of an existing product ZEPP Zulu Echo Papa, Zepp Bound. Probably the worst name ever. It's for chronic weight management in trials people who took the highest dose lost on average 48 pounds The price of the weekly shot is over a thousand dollars a month Drug maker Eli Lilly says that cost will likely be lower if patients have insurance Okay so this is just the beginning of the marketing push before we go into

17:00 the true entertainment version. Let's go to CNBC and let's have one of these analysts, let's just explain what an analyst is? An analyst works for a company that typically makes market in a stock in this case it would be Eli Lilly... They don't have to necessarily make a market. I said typically Typically, they're with a company that makes a market typically or took a company public. It's not always the case but I think in this case it is Guggenheim okay? And so this analyst or his company has a vested interest in the stock how about that

17:43 Is that fair? Right, or well why would they be on the show is a bit of an overriding question. Exactly and but of course there's a Chinese wall between the trading desk in the analyst. The analyst just goes talk to the company gets all the information brings it back then also propagates it on CNBC. Joining us on the phone with his reaction is Seamus Fernandez pharma analysts at Guggenheim Partners he has a buy rating on Eli Lilly By rating, how coincident.

18:24 and the company to track the product much better when it's used for the treatment of obesity and it also is very helpful in terms of payer negotiations. Is this likely to be the biggest selling drug of all time? What he's saying is the name Deathbound is being used for tracking purposes only. I know, that is the silliest thing I've ever heard No no because they have new marketing dollars it's like a code It's like a... you know so now they know people Yeah it's like Ed Bongino Use code to your order

19:21 Use code Bongino. That's exactly right, it's a marketing tracking mechanism. It was very helpful in terms of payer negotiations Oh, I'm sorry. Thought that was you John Krapp. That was weird. Is this likely to be the biggest selling drug of all time? We think it has a very strong shot of being the biggest drug... Hold on a second

19:57 So more so than ibuprofen or aspirin? What they mean is they're going to get the most money in advertising of all time. That's what they're talking about, it's gonna be the best for our pockets. Selling drug of all time... We think it has a very very strong shot at being the biggest drug of all time obviously competing very closely with Novonordisk, Ozempec and Wegovy as well, but we think that this category for sure will be the largest pharmaceutical market of all time. Largest of all time? Now you have to know that Novo Nordisk which makes a markets Wegovy and Ozempic now is its market cap is bigger than the country it's from Denmark they

20:45 They spent $600 million in the first nine months alone in the US on advertising. So it was about time that we got a competitor to come in and boy they are flooding the market and how do you do what's, what do you want to do if you have a competing drug? I think you want to discredit your competitor isn't that kind of... Discrediting is good also getting Dr. Jen in Here's Dr. Payal Kohil. Dr. Kohli, talk to us about the so-called Ozempic Plateau which seems like a place in Utah you want to visit. Oh! Ozempic Plateau? Hold on a second there is something wrong with ozempic. Dr. Kohli talk to us about this so called Ozempic Plateau which seems like a place in Utah you want to visit Is it real and why do people stop losing weight? You know its absolutely real if you think about how our body is designed It's actually designed to fight weight loss

CHAPTER 08 / 41 Discussion

Ozempic Plateau, Tesla of Weight Loss and Dosage Escalation

Dr. Payal Kohli discusses the "Ozempic Plateau," where the body's metabolism fights back against weight loss. She suggests that patients who stop losing weight should increase their dosage or switch to Mounjaro, which she labels the "Tesla of weight loss medications."

ozempic· plateau· dr. payal kohli· weight loss· metabolism

19:57 So more so than ibuprofen or aspirin? What they mean is they're going to get the most money in advertising of all time. That's what they're talking about, it's gonna be the best for our pockets. Selling drug of all time... We think it has a very very strong shot at being the biggest drug of all time obviously competing very closely with Novonordisk, Ozempec and Wegovy as well, but we think that this category for sure will be the largest pharmaceutical market of all time. Largest of all time? Now you have to know that Novo Nordisk which makes a markets Wegovy and Ozempic now is its market cap is bigger than the country it's from Denmark they

20:45 They spent $600 million in the first nine months alone in the US on advertising. So it was about time that we got a competitor to come in and boy they are flooding the market and how do you do what's, what do you want to do if you have a competing drug? I think you want to discredit your competitor isn't that kind of... Discrediting is good also getting Dr. Jen in Here's Dr. Payal Kohil. Dr. Kohli, talk to us about the so-called Ozempic Plateau which seems like a place in Utah you want to visit. Oh! Ozempic Plateau? Hold on a second there is something wrong with ozempic. Dr. Kohli talk to us about this so called Ozempic Plateau which seems like a place in Utah you want to visit Is it real and why do people stop losing weight? You know its absolutely real if you think about how our body is designed It's actually designed to fight weight loss

21:36 Right because when we're losing weight our body goes into a catabolic straight state it starts going to a stress response So when we trick the body by giving it osempic and essentially sort of tricking our metabolism To get us to lose weight the metabolism kind of fights fights back And after a while you get into this sort of steady state pattern where you end up at your new set point. So I like to say it's sort of like turning your thermostat down, I like to keep mine at 72 because I run a little cold but if you turn it down to 68 and start living at 68 that will be your new set point so stop losing weight when you get to your ozempic plateau and its good thing cause imagine what would happen if people kept losing weight from this medication? You would actually start breaking down tissues getting nutritional deficiencies and really

22:20 doing more damage than benefit. Huh? Huh, huh. It'll do more damage than benefit. Well what is one way you can... Wait, wait, I'm just gonna predict the next term's gonna be called ozempic rebound. No no she this is even funnier! No it's funnier it's funnier than that what happens if you hit the plateau? Come on this is a this is right out of the playbook from... You drop dead or get really fat. No no no no You gotta get fat in these deals to make it work. No, remember the Sackler marketing strategy? What happens when you know it's not really helping the pain anymore what do we have to do? Get them addicted

23:03 So if you still need to lose more weight, is there anything you would do? Let's say I want to break through this plateau. Do I increase my dose or what do I do here? Yeah there are a lot of tricks that we can do so you can increase the dose. There are only up to certain doses that have been studied but people will call me and say Dr. Coley I've stopped losing weight and they're on a lower dose then I'll just go up to the next dose knowing that we can push that dose But if you're already at the highest dose, that's not really much of a problem. Now what you can do is switch to the Tesla of weight loss medication... Oh John! Hold on a second! You can- oh let's just stop for a second now if you reach the ozempic plateau

23:40 then you can just up the dose. But, you know a lot of my patients they're already maxed out so then I say just go to the Tesla of weight loss medication! Not really much of an option now what you can do is switch to the Tesla of weight loss medications which is the newer Ozempic excuse me Monjaro! Oh Monjaro! And there's another new one coming so the Ozempic is sort of... Which is death bound When did, this is interesting in more than one, I mean it's an obvious you're right the whole thing is just a scam but when did Tesla replace the Cadillac of or the Mercedes of or the Rolls Royce of weight loss?

CHAPTER 09 / 41 Discussion

Chronic Weight Management, FDA Terminology and Rat Studies

An examination of the FDA's use of the term "chronic weight management" for Zepbound. The drug's safety warnings include the risk of thyroid C-cell tumors observed in rat studies, though the implications for human health remain officially unknown.

fda· chronic weight management· thyroid cancer· eli lilly· clinical trials

24:26 Yeah, that's a very good question. I don't think Tesla is in the same league as what at least and so far as its impact is Cadillac of Rolls-Royce which is the one you'd want to use as the top creme de la creme maybe she's got a side hustle going There's something going on with using Tesla. It's pathetic is what it is. Manjaro! And then there's another new one coming so the Ozempic is sort of the first generation, okay? It hits one receptor... So we'll hold and stop again So the another new one coming which has already been admitted by the analyst to be the same drug only coded for marketing purposes. Yes, so you could do a numbers count for how to spend the next buy correct? It's that's not another new one is another it's just the same one with the old with the but the new name but does she and

25:21 unaware of this? Is that how competent, is she just an incompetent bonehead that we're listening to. Are you questioning the integrity of Dr. Coley I mean they're ABing the product here they're ABing the product names so now she's promoting Mongero and then she'll have the code Bongino I mean death bound and uh and they'll see which one she did better at which one performed it's her key metrics what do you call the KPIs her key performance indicators. This is all so cynical over the backs of people who are taking this stuff. Now, this is interesting. So when she talks about the receptors

26:03 I started looking into this stuff. The second generation, when Manjaro hits two different receptors and then there's actually a third generation one coming that hits three receptors and so if Ozempic made you lose about 15% on average of your body weight, Manjaro would be 20 and the third generation would be 25. So lot of docs are sort of getting people almost there with the first-generation and switching them to the newer and improved version This is made up! Yes yes This is a fantasy It's fantastic I love it. If it weren't necessarily, we don't know this is still off-label use except for maybe

26:40 I guess the, not Mongero but the death bound they've received use authorization as weight loss. Do we know that? You know that for a fact? I believe so yeah i believe so you believe so I don't know for a fact but I think so I mean I can check it because we have computers in front of us while we're guessing no mmm let me see... Deathbound what was it called again? ZeppDathBound. FDA approves Yes, FDA approves Lilly's Zep-Bound for chronic weight loss. So yes. Chronic? What weight? Chronic! What is chronic weight loss? What does that mean?! I don't know...I'm not a doctor Jim! Damn it! I am a doctor! Chronic obesity would be something but chronic weight loss? Hey they can't stop losing weight!! That's a good point. What is chronic weight loss? That doesn't even make any sense! Wait let me double check that link again hold on second

27:38 I keep pounding. Now you've got me typing in death bound, this is not good. Death bound FDA approval. Hold on a second let's see... Let me just look at this link. FDA approves new medication for chronic weight management which makes even less sense! Wait again that makes no sense? What's wrong with you?! I don't know I just have to deal with weight management and I'm weight management oriented. Oh you've got a chronic condition it It doesn't make that the usage doesn't make any sense. Let's chronic weight management is like a non sequitur I can't help it this is your FDA at work This is what let me see if I can find something here obesity and overweight are serious conditions that can be associated with some of the leading causes of death such as heart disease, stroke and diabetes division of diabetes lipid disorders Oh okay alright here we go

28:36 Heart disease, stroke and diabetes says John Sherratt MD director of the division of Diabetes Lipid Disorders and Obesity in the FDA Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. In light quote in light of increasing rates of both obesity and overweight that's interesting just using that term overweight as a what is that? Overweight! In the United States today's approval addresses an unmet medical need Wow, these guys are all on the take. Unmet need. How about Ozempic? Oh it's not good we need death bound. Alright let's... oh and then they do say zip-bound causes thyroid c cell tumors in rats but those are rats you're not a rat! You're human being don't worry about it Let's continue with Dr. Kola Causes what in the thyroid? C cell tumors

CHAPTER 10 / 41 Discussion

Antidepressant Weight Gain, Polypharmacy and Patient Anecdotes

Mainstream media outlets are reporting on the use of Ozempic to treat weight gain caused by antidepressants and antipsychotics. Critics argue this creates a cycle of polypharmacy where patients take additional drugs to manage the side effects of previous medications.

29:28 But only in rats. That's what everyone needs is a thyroid condition It is unknown whether zep bound causes such tumors including medullary thyroid cancer in humans Well that's interesting. Now let's go to the next piece here, this is fascinated by Dr. Coley Alright so doc I read that some psychiatrists are prescribing these weight loss drugs to counter side effects of certain antidepressants This is great news! You're taking anti-depressants you start to gain weight Yes it's medication upon on top of medication Like weight gain. What are your thoughts on this? It seems like a lot of medication I'm torn on this one Jeff and i think it's really complicated in medicine we do this all the time We mix our drugs to counteract the side effects of one drug with another drug, I give a person a statin, raises their blood sugar a little bit, I give them a medicine to lower the blood sugar

30:18 Those are sort of well-established mixes, but when we're talking about psychiatry right really tricky thing to do this for a couple of reasons one because We know that ozempic has been linked to some psychiatric problems such as suicidal ideation and you know depression feelings like you want to hurt yourself so if you're treating somebody with an antidepressant and they gain a little weight, and then you're giving them Ozempic which can actually make the depression problem worse. We don't yet know that could be counterproductive. Hold on. She specifically says we don't yet know. In other words she's making stuff up. And I have never heard of Ozempic causing suicidal thoughts. Oh yes! Where did that show? No no...I've heard this. It showed up in their ads.

31:04 Oh, it showed up in the marketing for Deathbound. Hello! So but this is part of the... and just so we can identify how they're marketing this is part of the marketing We go to Good Morning America Who do we have here? Well, this is part of the... This may be counter-programming. This morning a potential new use for the popular weight loss drugs like Ozempic. Oh! Wow, hit the jingle to remind people what they're talking about. Treating weight gain in patients who are taking antidepressants and antipsychotics

31:40 Some mental health medications may cause weight gain. One review reporting that patients gained 5% of their weight on certain antidepressants. Patients stop taking medicines for depression and other mood disorders is weight gain. Yet there's a debate among doctors, psychiatric departments at six major hospitals telling the New York Times they were recommending these weight loss drugs to patients while seven other health systems said they weren't citing concerns about the risks and side effects Dr Shabani Sethi prescribes them but carefully. Carefully!

32:20 I prescribe them, but carefully. They are a tool to help our patients with certain conditions and I don't believe that they should be blanket prescribed to everybody. Mom of three Kristen Eckhart started taking Ozimbic in March What is you know? You've got me Ant-fucking on this now what does blanket prescribe two patients what does that mean as a medical professional? I don't just blanket prescribe What do you think that means? That means you just give it to everybody for everything. It's like they used to blanket prescribe penicillin. Oh, okay. All right

32:56 All right, so you know oh you got a cold. Pierce some penicillin or you got the itchy skin. Penicillin. Okay fully there are tools to help our patients with certain conditions and I don't believe that they should be blanket prescribed to everybody mom of three Kristen Eckhart started taking Ozimbic in March after she gained 20 pounds and developed pre-diabetes while taking an antidepressant While her mood improved, she loathed the weight gain. I don't feel like my outside reflects how i feel inside right now and that's oh, I don't feel stable on the outside really hard she says she's now out of practice because what her fingernails are coming off or what's going on here? She gained 20 pounds because of the anti-depressant. Is skin sloughing off? I don't know The weight gain mentally I was feeling a lot more stable much less irritable with my kids and then I was like wow

33:59 Thanks, thanks Big Pharma. I'm much less irritable with my kids." Oh my God! Maybe you should be irritable with your kids so your kid can experience some irritability? Yes thank you. Okay kids whatever you're doing hey Jimmy oh you can play with those matches don't worry about it i'm good My outside reflects how I feel inside right now and that's really hard She says she's now at a plateau but down 10 pounds and sees an indefinite future on both meds to discontinue the Ozopic because I'm afraid of side effects there and i definitely don't want to discontinue either of the mental health medications. She's on two mental health medications, she's now on three! Oh my god this poor woman

34:45 because that's a really bad idea. We need more research into the effect of these medicines on people with mental health disorders I'm very optimistic that they will open up a new chapter in our ability to manage the weight gain associated with the use of these medicines So in other words, you're driving me nuts kids. Your mom crying all the time this is like okay so she's a mom who doesn't know how to control her kids and so let's just take pills? Unfortunately yeah we've jacked up everybody and instead of dealing with life and dealing with it in many different ways

35:29 We're just giving people pills and the pills don't work well enough, then we have to have... They screw them up. And they take more pills? More pills and then you get fat and then you're unhappy because your 20 pounds. Because your fat. Because your fat. You know, and then you get more so PBS had a doctor on Dr. Carla Lester And this, I believe is the true... This is the real marketing for all of these weight loss drugs. Let's just be honest about it. It's not for diabetes. It's being marketed for people who feel that they're fat or maybe they are fat but how does it actually work? What is actually going on with these and you're going to hear some terms here which are title worthy for the show

CHAPTER 11 / 41 Discussion

Food Noise, Sugar Addiction and PBS Medical Coverage

PBS featured Dr. Carla Lester discussing "food noise" and "food chatter," terms used to describe constant cravings. The discussion posits that these are marketing euphemisms for sugar addiction and that GLP-1 drugs work by disrupting neural pathways and slowing gastric emptying.

food noise· sugar addiction· pbs· glp-1· dr. carla lester

36:18 which I believe to be 100% marketing. Drugs like Wigovi and Ozempic are two medications that have become popular for their weight loss benefits, and their increased popularity has put a spotlight on terms like food chatter and food noise. It's the idea of being preoccupied with food or eating. And while the medications can come with a hefty price tag patients say the drastic change in their relationship to food is worth it And as a popular hashtag on social media, thousands have been sharing their own stories about food noise and these GLP-1 medications like Ozempic. Do you know what food noises? Food chatter, emotional chatter... I'm Dr. Carla. Dr. Carla Lester is a pediatrician and obesity physician. She's been looking at the relationship between food noise and these medications. Food noise, food chatter—these are people who—I'm going to spoiler alert

37:12 These are people who are severely addicted to sugar and we now call that food noise. Dr Lester, thank you so much for being here! Thank you! What are the, how are they defining? She said she used it as though it was some sort of a term that was in play. What does it mean? She's going to explain! I'd like to ask you if you could define what food noise is according to physicians and what causes it. Food noise or food chatter isn't a medical term per se... It's a marketing term! These are patients people who experience kind of constant noise in their brain so they have a constant craving mind for food. So it's despite hunger and it doesn't necessarily relate to their weight either, so their food cravings kind of rule the day they may have just eaten and they're looking forward or thinking about the next meal or the next snack and as patients are being started on medications like Ozembic like Wigobi like Monjago

38:10 for the first time in their lives they're experiencing a quiet mind. They're going throughout their day without this constant food noise, food chatter I was addicted to tobacco, which does have some addictive properties. You think? Yeah! And by the way, I quit cold turkey it's been almost a year not a problem and as quick as I don't smoke anything anymore but so you know to call an addiction noise is really if... As a doctor even well it's not really medical term its food noise because you keep hearing in your brain So what these drugs do

38:48 is they hit your receptors. Now, I believe that to be in your brain but supposedly you have receptors everywhere in your body and this woman is going to contort her way...contort her words in so many ways to avoid just saying that people are addicted to sugar Because that's what it is. But no, no you have food noise for some people the food noise is constant for some It's non-existent Is there some biological reason that some people experience different amounts of food noise? Well I believe different amounts of food It just such a dumb question now, it's great well this is this is modern journalism at its worst TBS PBS

39:34 The sophisticated PBS amounts of food noise. Well, I believe that there are a few reasons why we experience it number one is I believe our since our bodies are adapted to keep us basically exactly where we are the status quo so somebody who has insulin resistance a patient who's struggling with obesity will have more of those hunger cues less of the fullness cues and so they may have more food noise and food chatter throughout the day. So biologically, we need to give ourselves a massive break because it's physiologic, it's brain science. It's brain science! Whoa there you go...it's brain science well that sounds like you should use any old drug. Brain Science is great

40:21 Look at the antidepressants you've been taking. It didn't work, get another antidepressant. Didn't work? Well we'll get you some brain science to stop the food noise in your head. Massive break because it's physiologic, its brain science Our bodies were not meant to be exposed to high levels of insulin and for sure not persistently high levels of insulin so over time... When she says high levels of insulin doesn't she mean sugar is that what she saying here Is that the translation or my simplifying it too much. The insulin would be a result, the high levels of insulin would be the result of sugar intake so there's a connection but that's not what she is saying. Not persistently high levels of insulin so over time the body adapts and becomes resistant to it which creates higher

41:08 levels of insulin. So we know that we have this addictive trifecta refined sugars or processed carbohydrates with trans fats and salt, trans that create addictive pathways and cravings in our mind. And so humans are highly in tune with our senses. So just a visual cue smelling it with somebody cooking hearing it that will induce craving pathways in the brain that will create more food noise and food chatter throughout the day. that you're addicted to it and then all you need is just an image. Just an image, a flash on TV so look at that Cinnabon. You need the smell of a Cinnabon in the airport! Oh man it smells so good and oh I needed...I craved like the smell of a cigarette like anything that you can get addicted to we've addicted people now were selling them the antidote which could give your cancer

42:13 So then why do certain types of medications like GLP-1 medications affect how food noise is perceived in the body? Food noise perceived in the body, you mean your brain. The addictive quality... Okay, in the body fine. Well, the GLP-1 medications have a lot of effects in the body because we have GLP-1 receptors in many parts of our body. So how it works is, in different ways so works in the gut delays gastric emptying so patients feel a sense of fullness. Gastric emptying does that mean to make you constipated? It stops gastric... Well, what does that mean? It's gastric emptying. What is that?! That means you can't poop! The stuff in your stomach gets pushed down to the intestines. No it-it-it's hold on that's not what she said hold on a second what did she say? She said and so that helps in that way it also helps in the gut too

43:06 Wait, wait. Let me go back and I hear this now. Our body so how it works is in different ways So works in the gut it delays gastric emptying Delays gastric emptying? So it doesn't push it down It delays it so you're full of crap Am I to understand that, Dr. Dvorak? Well it wouldn't be crap the crap forms later but you'd be full of half digested food just lingering and going bad in the stomach. No wonder people have some great belches! Yeah, people are puking from this stuff no wonder okay because it promotes not pushing it down to the intestines okay so patients feel a sense of fullness wait I guess that would account for the frozen stomachs

43:54 Exactly, frozen stomach because it's one big ball of pre-poop. And so that helps in that way it also helps in the gut to restore how its supposed to work is how I explain it to my patients and I take care of teens. She takes care of teens Fat teens. Oh my god, this is these people are horrible This is what we're finding out is sometimes when you try a medication in medicine We find out oh there's all these other side effects that are beneficial and so a powerful one has been to decrease the Food noise the food chatter the constant cravings the patients experience

44:31 And so when we talk about food noise or these cravings, we're not necessarily talking about hunger. But what is the difference between hunger and food noise? Yeah that's a good question. So hunger would be the physiologic sensation that you need to eat and then the food noise and food chatter is more like the craving mind. That can be induced by so many different things You know, we're not taught how to check in with ourselves throughout the day. We're having a lot of stress or restricting ourselves of food and then will get more that chatter throughout the day You have to check in with ourselves. Hey, babe self. How you doing? I got a chicken soap. So this is clearly this is why they're saying things like oh it could also help against cocaine addiction and other things and it's so beneficial because it's doing something to your brain. It is disrupting the neural pathways that you've associated with sugar addiction which by itself sounds like pretty good but let's first of all just admit what it

CHAPTER 12 / 41 Discussion

Fast Food Industry, Sugar Companies and Market Speculation

A speculative debate on whether weight loss drugs will hurt the bottom line of candy and fast food companies. One host suggests the industry will fight back with negative studies, while the other argues that thin people may feel empowered to eat more sweets, potentially boosting sugar sales.

fast food· sugar industry· candy companies· market trends· short selling

45:34 and say, hey we're messing with your brain. But I don't think anyone really knows what the true side effects long term can be and how does that affect anything? I fully expect the fast food industry to start fighting this by telling you that you're going to die from these drugs We are gonna have studies that are going to show, oh if you take these things which severely impact our bottom line because people aren't eating sugary sweets. I like the thesis but i don't know that the fast food industry can think like that? I would think that well...I think if you worked there and you were presenting this even somebody presenting it like you just did

46:23 I wonder if they can think like that. There's got to be at least one look at Mars or any of the forget fast food, let's just think about sweets candy Cadbury Mars these guys their bottom lines getting hit because people aren't snacking Is there evidence of this? Not yet! But i have a feeling If this rolls out the way it is People will not be eating sweets as much. They may... Hold on, I'm going to keep arguing with this point of yours because i know what you're trying to say but I'm gonna argue against it

47:02 It's quite likely that if you can lose weight on all this with the stuff and you get real thin, you say well I can eat more sweets. Possibly? They may actually boost the bottom line of the sugar companies Well why don't you go long and i'll go short. I'm gonna take those Zempik and I can eat more sweets! I do not have to cut down on my...I dont have to worry about what I eat. Im going to go short You can go long I will go along. Now the next question is, does it behoove insurance companies to pay for this? Because you really want the insurance... The pharmaceutical industry wants people sick but of course they are in bed with the insurance companies where does this have to give? Do we want people getting healthy by allowing insurance to pay for it or not

CHAPTER 13 / 41 Discussion

Insurance Reimbursement, Semaglutide Costs and Drug Naming

Discussion of the $1,000 monthly list price for weight loss drugs and the struggle for insurance reimbursement. The segment highlights the disparity between manufacturing costs and retail prices, while mocking the branding of drugs like Zepbound.

insurance· reimbursement· semaglutide· eli lilly· novo nordisk

47:55 Maybe CNBC has an answer. And and who's gonna pay for it, and how because the list price is a thousand a month? Are going to cover it I assume but most insurers are probably not gonna want to Stop again Keep interrupting that why does he say that what is he so I want you to go back and play that again But I'm gonna ask them more simple question of their earlier questions or question. It should be asked They won't ask on CNBC ever What what What gives them the right, that's not a right you can do whatever you want but what gives them the impetus? Well the impetus is another thing. This drug doesn't cost that much to manufacture they're gouging the public why doesn't somebody do something about gouging this is probably a $10 drug not a thousand well it's the semaglutide Phoebe

48:51 The sumaglutide is generic, it's open source. Yeah it's free! It's free you can basically buy it and many different online you can buy it, you have to buy your own syringe and inject it then the marketing you know if you can't put on there just like Ozempic or no I can't believe it's not Wigovi. Phoebe It's okay! You can have your food noise later. This guy right off the bat says, I presume they don't want to pay for it? Why not if it's saving... The idea is that it's healthy We know its not but its healthy and it's saving people from dying from cardiac issues because they're severely obese or overweight

49:40 But I presume that they don't want to pay for it. And who's going to pay for it and how? Because the list price is $1,000 a month some insurers are gonna cover it I assume but most insurers are probably not gonna want to Correct yeah I mean this is probably the main challenge Is gaining reimbursement For The obesity opportunity over time That being said Obesity opportunity! What's your, what's your obesity opportunity index? This is good. Obesity opportunity. We do have some really important data coming this weekend from Novo Nordisk called the Select Study. Oh we've got new studies coming standby and marketing on the way! And that could really prove out that the benefits of this product

50:32 for patients who have high cardiovascular risk. So this may become more of a cardiovascular drug at the end of the day, also used broadly in the diabetes setting as well and there's a very compelling argument for both managing weight and blood sugar as driving material benefits in patient population diagnosed with diabetes and these products have been moving forward in the treatment regimen among physicians for the last decade, honestly. And now that they've got potent drugs like this there they're looking forward to using them earlier and earlier in the treatment paradigm so it always makes sense to pay attention...

51:17 It just makes up terms. I love it! They're looking forward to using them earlier and earlier in the treatment paradigm, so it always makes sense to pay for diabetes drugs for sure. It always makes sense to treat patients with high cardiovascular risk and then more broadly if it's just a weight loss drug you know, for patients who are trying to lose a little bit of weight or don't want to go to the gym as much. I think that's a little bit different dialogue. Hey! You don't want to go to the gym? Take a shot! It was fine. Don't worry about it. OK, I get it so they're going because they are approved for weight loss but what was it again? The great mid paradigm No no no no...the weight loss thing it was hold on second and get it

52:05 um, chronic weight management. So chronic weight management will be seen as good for your heart and maybe that way we can get uh I just i don't understand the insurance business isn't the point that you don't want to pay out more money so Wouldn't you want to get people on the obesity opportunity drugs, anti-obesity opportunity drugs so they... Not a thousand dollars a pop when they know it's not doesn't cost that much. They even come close to manufacturing price. Okay, So that's their problem? They're not going to be insurance companies not to defend them. No! They just don't want to be taken for suckers and that's what this sounds like and so your insurance company saying these are 1000 bucks

52:56 What wait it cost you ten cents to make this stuff and you're gonna gouge us for a thousand bucks because you can yeah, no Anyway Eli Lily stock jumped on The the approval of the drug so but I just none of this sounds good. It doesn't sound healthy You should just not eat them. Just don't each sugary snacks all day. That's simple They don't know what's going to... It only causes cancer in rats. Who cares? It's a rat! We want them dead anyway. Why even test it then on the rat? You're testing it on the rat for a reason Yeah, because the rat has similar... doesn't the rat have some genetics and what the rat gets you'll get but when the rat gets something then you say well I dunno screw it yeah stupid rat

53:56 Anyway, so we're being flooded with true mis- and disinformation for marketing purposes from competing drugs. Competing networks. Well PBS doesn't Eli Lilly aren't they an underwriter of PBS? Of all the drug companies are Yeah, that's true. They all compete and that's what you're being... It's just so disheartening and what do we say? We should not allow advertising sponsorship underwriting whatever you want to call it on television or any media. And how come they're not funny? It corrupts the system and the system is totally corrupted by it But you know what they should do only allow it on podcasts

54:45 Because you and I would switch in a heartbeat. Oh yeah, we'd be advertising-centric. Value for value! Screw that! We would slam Ozempic in a heartbeat for the competing food noise solution brought to you which is Deathbound. This is great name... who? That really bugs me Who came up with that name? What meeting... I'd like to be in that meeting. Alright, you know, Ozempic has O-O-O-Ozempic is dynamite, you know everybody, they're even doing ads of the guy from Pilot. Dap dap dap dap bound! No we need a new song We need a new version of a classic but then they come up with Zep Bound Why?! Why!? I don't understand

55:37 Zep-bound. So stupid! Probably has a different meaning in Denmark? No, no Eli Lilly is zep bound they're not in Denmark that's Novo Nordisk they're the Ozempik dude they're smart they are geniuses marketing genius right there but get Hollywood to use it so you know now the hashtag is food noise food noise food chatter means your brain is addicted addicted No, we have I don't have anything on this. No, I'm done. I'm done Don't take it people. It's not like a debate which were last night Yeah Yes Worst ever hold on I give Vivek high marks for being entertaining

CHAPTER 14 / 41 Discussion

Republican Primary Debate, TikTok Ban and China Policy

The third Republican primary debate on NBC featured candidates Chris Christie and Ron DeSantis calling for a ban on TikTok. Christie labeled the app Chinese spyware polluting American minds, while DeSantis articulated a China policy summarized as "we win, they lose."

republican debate· nbc· chris christie· ron desantis· tiktok

56:28 High marks, high marks to Vivek. She said something on these debates which is too much but I have a bunch of clips they're all short with the exception of one of them which was the fight they got into a fight...I just took it chunk I didn't, I mean i don't have the whole thing broken down. I just have a piece where they got into it to the point where they're starting to yell at each other and... Can we set the stage first? This is The Republican Debates on NBC. On NBC makes total sense with Kristen Welker, Welkin, Walken, Christopher Walken

57:06 moderating with the other dude, what's his name? What's that guys name who took over the... Lester Holt and then this podcaster radio guy. Who looks just like Stephen King and every time they put him on the screen I kind of jump back a little bit And so this didn't include Trump by far the forerunner who instead counter-programmed in Florida and had his thing going on there and it's really It's really just entertainment. I mean, none of these people have a shot at becoming the nominee. No So it's just purely for

57:44 for Megyn Kelly to be outraged over. Isn't that what this is for? It's just... I think so, and the thing though was Nikki... And Dan Bongino The best part yes, the best part was Nikki Haley Yes Under her breath calling Vivek scum Scum Alright get into these clips tell me what are we doing here? It starts off with a stupid question asked by Hal Holbrook whoever that guy was that third guy And it starts off with a dumb question about should we ban TikTok and the whole thing got into it. It got into heated screaming match, but it starts off with Chris Christie Gallagher who is chairman of the House Bipartisan Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party published a long essay on TikTok following the flooding of pro-Hamas propaganda onto TikTok

58:36 accounts across the United States. Chairman Gallagher called it shocking, he called the app predatory controlled by America's preeminent adversary one used to push propaganda and divide America its spyware he said in means of surveillance Governor Christie do you agree with chairman Gallagher? And if so would you ban or force the sale of TikTok Doc? I agree 100% with Chairman Gallagher but let me say this TikTok is not only spyware, it is polluting the minds of American young people all throughout this country. And they're doing it intentionally and when you saw what happened in the last few weeks

59:15 with all of this anti-Semitic, horrible stuff that their algorithms were pushing out. Algorithm? At a gargantuan rate. Gargantuan? This is China trying to further divide the United States of America and this is one of the big failings among many of the Trump administration. He talked tough about TikTok I heard him do it many times but But when it came down to it, he did not ban them when he could have and should have. And now since then we've had an additional nearly six years of this type of poison be put out throughout the United States, even putting aside the spying which we know is going on in the theft of American personal data and information. Okay I just have to make a few comments here first off i love the tough tick-tock talk that's very good you know that this part of this is because of a debate where Hawley

1:00:12 was on the floor saying, you know at the Senate saying we've got to ban TikTok and then Rand Paul got up and said are you nuts? Do you want Republicans to lose everything? He said this is the main platform young people are on. I don't know if that came up in the debate, but there's so much in here. TikTok is used by China to steal our data much more than any other app on your phone oh yeah! I'm sure oh yeah that's right it's spyware oh yeah sure Yeah it's more spyware than any of the SDKs that Meta or anyone else uses Oh yes much worse They don't even know what spyware is No they don't they're full of crap this guy's disqualified he should get on the Ozempic

1:00:54 Not only that, but he lied about the fact that Trump did try to ban TikTok and it was the courts that told him no and that was the end of it. Yes! Somebody later in the debate corrected him on this It's also a very bad precedent don't you think? Ugh! It's ridiculous Because who do they ban next? Who is next on the block? Well he brings up another point And then that point has to be slipped into question for the next guy But let's go to Christie 2 So in my first week as president, we would ban TikTok. They want to go ahead and sell it? Let them go ahead and sell it but I'll tell you another reason why we would do it Facebook's not in China X is not in China What?! They're not permitting a free flow of information To the Chinese people from our social media companies

1:01:47 Oh, Chris. So the question has to be restated with that in mind so we end up with a clip 3. He's a radio guy. Oh, why aren't you talking to me? Hugh Huett or whatever his name is. Oh, Hugh! I gotcha. I want to go to Governor DeSantis Would you ban or force the sale of TikTok regardless of whether or not China allowed American apps to operate in China Yes, I think that China is the top threat we face They've been very effective at infiltrating different parts of our society So my policy on China and the Chinese Communist Party is very simple We win they lose Wow That's some tough talk

1:02:38 I like it. What does that even mean? Here, I have a policy... Hey Adam, I have a policy! Yeah we win you lose. Heads I win tails you lose China Is that a policy or is that some sort of wishful thinking what is that really It's entertainment. It's a policy?! How is that a policy!? It's something that Tim the pool man can get very upset about because he has wrong boots You have lifts in your boots and you're talking dumb So, okay. So that was the stupidest thing in the whole debate I might add Did anyone say bomb China? Bomb them again! If she was there we would have had that

CHAPTER 15 / 41 Discussion

Nikki Haley, Chinese Military Planes and Florida Business

Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis clashed over their records regarding Chinese business investments. Haley accused DeSantis of allowing a manufacturer of Chinese military planes to expand training sites near Florida naval bases, while DeSantis defended his record of banning Chinese land acquisitions.

nikki haley· ron desantis· florida· china· military industrial complex

1:03:22 So here we go with DeSantis, uh, born and then they introduce Haley. Nikki comes into play. She loves war doesn't she? Oh she's a war monger! No no no...she loooves WAR just like war I like watching war videos I like watch anything John Wayne and War is good We win they lose And in order to do that, it's not just military. It's economic and it's cultural and as the dad of a six five and three year old I'm concerned about the data that they're getting from our young people and what do you have your kids on TikTok? You numbnut

1:03:58 You better not. That's what I'm thinking, he has a 6, 5 and 3 and he is concerned that the Chinese are stealing information from these kids? They shouldn't be on TikTok they're polluting their brains! They shouldn't have a phone what do you mean be on TikTok?! Thank you, thank you. I am concerned about the data that they are getting from our young people Oh they got data like Oracle has nothing The Data Brokers don't have anything No no it's TikTok grabbing spyware this is insulting to anyone who knows even the tiniest bit. You know, just before we get to this there was an actual hack of the... what do you call it? Atlassian software I'm trying to think what it's called now

1:04:53 And the contractors I know who work for the military are saying this is the worst, and China has everything. They have all information from any contractor who does any kind of technology work on anything in our US military. And they, and you know they've... They're kind of like, um, you know, you guys kinda plug that hole don't make this public-ish Don't tell anybody about it." And it's Atlassian. Atlassian is it? It is horrible! There's no attention paid to it. Zero. Instead Oh No China's... China's spying TikTok! TikTok is spying on your... Confluence! You've heard of confluece

1:05:37 The product confluence? No, I don't know the product confluence. Everyone uses it is where you put all your notes all the programming code It's like github on steroids It's been hacked for a few weeks now and they're not talking about it But it's really, really bad. And no TikTok with Ronda's five-year old. I'm concerned about the data that they're getting from our young people and what they're doing to pollute the minds of our young people. These kids get these devices and they have a mind of their own. And I know a lot of parents are looking at it. It's hard even keep it out. China is obviously the most extreme but this is happening with other things so we are going to do that

1:06:19 and we are going to make sure to protect the American people. It's a full spectrum approach, to be able to fend China off. Yes military deterrence yes economic decoupling but also their role in our culture if we don't ignore that we're not going to be able to win the fight. from 10 years ago. Yes, I brought a fiberglass company 10 years ago to South Carolina but Ron you are the chair of your economic development agency that as of last week said Florida is the ideal place for Chinese businesses not only that you have a company that is manufacturer of Chinese military planes You have it they're expanding two training sites at 2 of your airports now one which is 12

1:07:18 miles away from a naval base, then you have another company that's expanding and they were just invaded by the Department of Homeland Security. So now we have millionaires who are part of the military industrial complex comparing who has worse stuff in their states? Nikki Hale, you know and there's a lot of Republicans who really dig her. I don't know. I can't I don't get it either She seems like a horrible person. I don't get it. I just don't get it why she did well this gets worse so let's Know five this is doing you finish that one? Yeah, that's done. That's done. That was four okay, so

CHAPTER 16 / 41 Discussion

Vivek Ramaswamy vs. Nikki Haley, "Scum" Comment

Vivek Ramaswamy criticized Nikki Haley for her daughter's use of TikTok, leading Haley to call him "scum" on stage. The exchange highlighted the personal animosity between the two candidates during the NBC debate.

vivek ramaswamy· nikki haley· republican debate· tiktok· personal attacks

1:08:03 I didn't know that they were building Chinese military planes in Florida, but that's what she says. Yeah What happens with did they fly him back to China? Well, what's the deal? I don't know. Let's find out. So never heard of that so okay now we start getting into it because she opens the gate to bickering So here we go with the fight that starts. Mine was 10 years ago, yours was 6 months ago. You gave them stuff I didn't give them anything! What's your story? And I abolished that agency she is talking about Enterprise Florida We abolished it and of course we banned China from buying land He scrubbed the website last week Go check! I want to warn you You scrubbed the website last week Thank you Ambassador Haley of Florida You scrubbed your website last week

1:08:50 This is an embarrassment. Mr Ramaswamy, we've talked about this you campaign on TikTok how do you get to talk ban if you use it? Well, I want to laugh at why Nikki Haley didn't answer your question which is about looking at families in the eye. In the last debate she made fun of me for actually joining TikTok while her own daughter was actually using the app for a long time so you might want to take care of your family first before preaching to anybody else who has an adult daughter. The next generation of Americans are using it and that's actually the point. You have her supporters crapping her up that's fine here's the truth easy answers

1:09:29 Leave my daughter out of your voice! It was mouth and then you should have slapped him like Will did to Chris Rock. Yeah, that would've been good but if you hear carefully at the end there she calls him scum. No I know I heard it everyone heard it play it again right here You're just scum Here's the truth The easy answer You're just scum Well in a way he's scummy In a way, they're all scum. I think there's some more subtle thing... They're both Indian and I think that there is a Klan issue here. Oh! That's what we need in our politics. Yeah, that's exactly what we need. We didn't have Indian classicism yet? Oh well good. You know, I have one 21 second clip of Haley which i thought was on the level of Judge Jeanine

1:10:24 And it was about what she would say to Benjamin Netanyahu about Hamas. Yeah, play it because the last clip is going to wrap it. The first thing I said when it happened was finish them. Finish them! That's like end them... that is so creepy The way she says that? Yeah, she's a creep. Finish them! Finish them!! Alright... So here we go so this is the final clip of this debate it's all about this one topic I didn't go any further I could have clipped everything all night but this is the bickering stuff and here we go with the fight continued and this is just falls apart

CHAPTER 17 / 41 Discussion

Airbnb Data, North Korea Sanctions and Debate Theatrics

Vivek Ramaswamy claimed Airbnb shares user data with the CCP and criticized Haley’s past praise of China. Haley responded by citing her work as UN Ambassador in negotiating sanctions against North Korea and holding China accountable for human rights.

airbnb· ccp· north korea· nikki haley· vivek ramaswamy

1:11:07 Here's the truth. The easy answer is actually to say that we're just going to ban one app, but we've got to go further! We have to ban any US company transferring data from the US to Chinese. Here's a story most people don't know. Airbnb hands over U.S user data to CCP. Now that's an owned company so this is the problem when you have Republicans temporarily You know what he should have done? He said, you're just a dot head. He should've done that! You towelhead Nikki Haley!

1:11:46 temporarily go the way the winds blow and now it's popular to talk tough on China when she was UN ambassador, called them literally her words not mine our great friend. You can't be fair weather fans of the right policy get to the root cause even US companies in Silicon Valley are regularly doing it cut the virtue signaling The fact of the matter is Democrats are on TikTok today The only person one of the few people who is- Stop stop stop You know, this guy rattles off stuff so fast. He's a fast talker. He's like Ben Shapiro. Yes well... Sending data to China because you get paid money is not virtue signaling No that's called commerce But he makes it sound as though the whole thing's interrelated virtue signaling Stop virtue signalling by sending your data to China What? That doesn't make any sense! but he talks so fast he blathers this stuff out like a machine gun

1:12:38 And you know, it's just I don't like him either. Are you getting worked up over this? Yeah, go on the right policies get to get to the root cause even U S companies in Silicon Valley are regularly doing it cut the virtue signaling The fact of the matter is Democrats are on TikTok today The only person one of the few people who is putting up content the way they actual algorithms work speaking for pro Israel views or others more Republicans will join it but stop stop US companies from turning over data to Chinese companies. That's the real answer, not the virtue signal. Moderator is like, Kristen don't get to respond to personal attacks but you do. Thank you very much. You know when he talks about me praising China He doesn't know that fact that reason why China was praised was because I negotiated with China and Russia The largest set of sanctions against North Korea in a generation We are literally the reason North Korea stopped testing ballistic missiles So i said China did good on their part What?

1:13:34 Wait a minute, I thought it was Trump who said, I got a button here and mine go boom. Wasn't that what no it's really her. She's the one who did it all Nikki did well We should give her money because I negotiated with China and Russia the largest set of sanctions against North Korea in a generation we are the root That is literally the reason North Korea stopped testing ballistic missiles, so I said China did good on their part You said Nikki those are your words not mine, and so just own up to you would I have fought against China my entire career at the United Nations. Every day, I fought China and I did it by making sure no one could get any agency heads in UN.

1:14:21 called them out on human rights. I did it by making sure that we held them accountable on everything that they did, that's the reason we got out of Human Rights Council, that's the reason we called him out and there is nothing to say... 100% entertainment! It's great this is fantastic this is fun to watch This is why you watch debates. That's the only reason. Now I have a clip, one clip I thought debates yes okay the opening Vivek Ramaswamy and the first thing he does is he takes the chairwoman of the Republican Party isn't she a Romney?

CHAPTER 18 / 41 Discussion

Ronna McDaniel, Media Bias and Alternative Debate Hosts

Vivek Ramaswamy called for RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel to resign following Republican election losses. He further suggested that debates should be moderated by figures like Tucker Carlson, Joe Rogan, or Elon Musk rather than mainstream media journalists.

ronna mcdaniel· rnc· tucker carlson· joe rogan· elon musk

1:15:06 She's the Rom- I think she isn't even related. I think she is, yeah! Yeah, related to the Romneys and she's a big Romneyite. Ronna Romney? Ronna- Is her name- Let me see... Her name is uh... I don't know her name. Well, I'm gonna look it up for you. She's no good. Ronna Romney McDaniel There you go. And not just that, he takes the hosts to task! I thought this was the best of the entire entertainment show? Please make your case why would you... Why should YOU be the nominee and not the former president? I think there's something deeper going on in the Republican Party here and i am upset about what happened last night We've become a party of losers at the end of the day. It was cancer in the Republican establishment. Let's speak the truth, I mean since Ronald McDaniel took over as chairwoman to the RNC in 2017 we have lost 2018 2020 2022 no red wave that never came we got trounced last night in 2023 and I think that we have

1:16:02 accountability in our party. For that matter, Ron if you want to come on stage tonight and look the GOP voters in the eye and tell them you resign I will turn over my yield my time to you. And frankly look at people there cheering for losing in the Republican Party think about who's moderating this debate? This should be Tucker Carlson Joe Rogan Elon Musk we have ten times the viewership asking questions that GOP primary voters actually care about bringing more people into our party. Do you think Democrats... Do you think that Democrats would actually hire Greg Gutfeld to host a Democratic debate? They wouldn't do it. And so the fact of the matter is, I mean Christian i'm going to use this time because this is actually about You in the media and the corrupt media establishment ask you The Trump-Russia collusion hoax that you pushed on this network for years Was that real or was that Hillary Clinton made up disinformation Answer the question Go! Mr. Rosenberg

1:16:56 I love that by the way. Answer the question, go! I'm gonna use that. You should try that with your wife. Hey answer the question, go! Everybody out there listening to this show should think about using that technique. Yes it's very effective. Answer the question, go! Go! Yeah. Disinformation. Answer the question, go! Mr. Robertson... This is how we get our country back We need accountability because this media rigged the 2016 election. They rigged the 2020 election with a Hunter Biden laptop story and they're going to rig this election- Your time is up. Let me turn to Governor Christie

1:17:35 Oh, fabulous. I thought that was great! I really loved it. That has nothing to do with the presidential debate? No, it had nothing to do with anything. I love...I gotta call Joe because you know Joe he'll be like this is so weird He doesn't understand any of us It's just that's so weird that people think that I should be leading the debate With Elon and what was what was the other one? With Elon Musk, Greg Gutfeld and Tucker. Oh yeah! That'll be the... Megan Kelly get ready to talk about something! Dan Bongino! Well your background is absolutely right I think that's what... Code Bongino Use promo code Bongino Meanwhile there were some actual problems with this off-year vote

CHAPTER 19 / 41 Discussion

Pennsylvania Voting Glitches, Flipped Votes and Human Error

Reports of voting machine malfunctions in Northampton County, Pennsylvania, where "yes" and "no" votes were flipped on retention judges. Election officials and ES&S representatives attributed the issue to a clerical coding error on the printed summary cards.

voting machines· pennsylvania· kentucky· election glitches· es&s

1:18:25 which for some states, there are some people you know there's some positions and state legislate legislations that had to be voted on. Texas had a whole bunch of propositions but I think i said no to almost every single one of them should the state of Texas make money available to build pharmaceutical facilities? No! Should we make money available to build out broadband? No let them do it commercially stupid questions But this voting machine glitches, actual glitches. Let's not talk about what happened in Pennsylvania. Now headlines with words like voting machines malfunction, voting machine glitch flipped votes, issue at voting machines and counties face ballot marking machine issues. Headlines like these on the day of an election add to the distrust in America's democracy. By the way this is not some mainstream news this is

1:19:21 Straight Arrow News. Northampton County, Pennsylvania with a population of over 300 000 voters were asked to decide whether two judges should be retained for additional 10-year terms when voters received their printed voting summary the yes or no votes were switched election officials learned it was an issue on all 300 plus voting systems in the county Election officials say it was a clerical and coding error. And even though printed voting records showed a switch in votes, the voting machine's back-end system tabulated the votes accurately. Don't worry! The back end office, be the back end systems got you covered it's all fine

1:20:02 Meanwhile in Kentucky with a governor's race on the line voting machines in some counties were selecting the wrong options on touchscreens When a voter went to select a straight party vote election officials say sometimes it would highlight the wrong party Oh, yes. Yes that we've had issues This is not the way an election supposed to be conducted That all sounds horrible and it is yeah, but that's not the voting. That's a ballot marking device. No, okay Apparently the issue was a persistent one, starting days before during early voting. That's according to the election official So these flyers were hung at polling locations alerting a voter to select their candidate by clicking their name rather than the tiny box Alright so that was throughout the country then Pennsylvania people noticed that their votes were flipped

1:20:53 And this immediately became an issue. They hauled in the senior vice president of customer operations of election systems and software as the company responsible for the Pennsylvania votes, and she was asked how did this happen that people's votes were flipped? What went wrong? What happened here? That has been brought to my attention but yes I believe so Why would that be? Well, like I said it was a human error based on you know someone from our team that programmed the election and they. I love the term by the way someone on our team who programmed the election starting to sound like that's how it works these days well like I said it was a human error based on you know someone from our team that programed the election and they

1:21:47 made a mistake putting the printed text on the card as compared to the boat screen. Because the retention is lot of text to it, its got to be abbreviated on the printed card so someone in our team inadvertently put the wrong name. Inadvertently? When will we learn Well, you know the way to deal with this and to end it is when you catch somebody like this You call for another election and make that company pay for it. Elections cost millions of dollars to do Yeah Election a complete redo and you make them pay for it. Yes

CHAPTER 20 / 41 Discussion

RFK Jr. Interview, Vaccine Safety and Family Opposition

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. appeared on NPR to discuss his presidential candidacy and his family's public opposition. He clarified his stance on vaccines, stating he is not "anti-vax" but advocates for the same placebo-controlled safety trials required for other medications.

rfk jr· npr· vaccines· joe biden· autism

1:22:28 They should sign a document before they're given the contract that they'll be liable for all these issues. In terms of fully liable. What happened to liability in this country? Vaccines, who cares what happens to you! Okay since you bring that up let's go to Bobby The Op because Bobby The Op is also in the news talking about presidential hopefuls P.B.S. Mmm, there we are again everybody let's play it. Elitist Voices of America This is NPR Can I ask you another question about your candidacy? Because a number of your own family members have spoken out against it. Four of your siblings issued a statement denouncing your candidacy, saying it's dangerous for the country. They wrote in a statement Bobby might share the same name as our father he doesn't share the same values vision or judgment Your families are icons of the Democratic Party they do not typically speak out against their own but they are in this case why

1:23:30 Well, I have a hundred and five family members. Living family members. A lot of them are supporting me but let me ask you this Does your family always agree with everything that you do? They don't always agree with it But I think they'd vote for me if I ran for president Well, a lot of them are going to vote for me but not all of them Your siblings though who know you better My family has a long history with President Biden. There's five members of my family that are working for the administration and President Biden has a statue, a bust of my father behind him at the Oval Office. I've known President Biden virtually my entire life. All the people in my family or many of the people including all the people that you mentioned there, the four members of my family you mentioned there have strong long friendships with President Biden

1:24:21 And I understand that they're disappointed with the fact that I would run against them, but- They're more than disappointed sir. They're saying that it's dangerous for the country. Dangerous? Well you would have to ask them why don't you have them on this show and you could ask them what they said then. All right so now to the vaccine question because of course we have to roll out the anti vaxxer and i have to say I thought Bobby The Op did a really good job on this and maybe even scored a point or two. said previously that no vaccine is safe or effective, which is- I've never said that. You did say that in a podcast interview in July. No, I never said that. You did say that there are quotes and that recording is there. You are wrong and you're making something up. On Fox News, you said that you still believe in this idea that vaccines can cause autism which has long been debunked? But now your changing subject what you said was before... No sir, I'm asking about your view on vaccines. Well, that's why I am happy to say my views

1:25:32 are that vaccines should be tested like all other medications are tested. They should have placebo-controlled trials prior to licensure, it's the only medical product or medical device that is allowed to get a license without engaging in safety tests. So you do not believe the statement that no vaccine is safe and effective? I've never said that! According to these reports and recordings, we have in the podcast interview on July... That's the problem if you are reading reports about me in the mainstream media, including this network. They're almost all inaccurate I'm not anti-vax. I've never been anti-vax You just spoke before one of the largest anti vaccine groups in the country a few days ago That's not what they call themselves That's not what they call themselves but that's what they advocate for Well you know what? I speak to a lot of people and I don't agree And I don't pretend to agree with everything that everybody in the audience says

1:26:29 I can agree. You know, listen, I've fought against mercury and fish for 40 years nobody called me any fish. I like the idea that we have seatbelts in cars Nobody calls me any automobile. I want vaccines that are safe just like every other medicine and that are adequately tested It doesn't mean i'm anti-vaccine it just means that Go back to the booth, go back to the booth! I am sensible and have gotten sense of things Most Americans, if they understood my views, my real views rather than this distortions of my views and the mischaracterizations that they hear from the mainstream media including this network. That they would agree with me. I'll just say there's evidence of these statements on the record. Show me a statement not evidence of a statement. Let me ask you about... Show me a statement rather than an evidence what do you call it? Evidence of a statement

Kentucky Gubernatorial Election, Republican Split Ticket

An analysis of the Kentucky election results where the Democratic governor was re-elected despite Republicans winning other statewide offices. Data suggests over 120,000 Republicans voted for the Democratic incumbent rather than the Republican challenger.

kentucky· andy beshear· daniel cameron· election results· voting patterns

1:27:24 evidence of a statement. I like that people don't call me anti-fish! I like that, wow. That was a good one so then well going back to the election machines i do want to read this from one of our producers he said they uh thought it'd be interesting to mention he says the Kentucky election results according these are boots on the ground guy bring in New York Times 752 752,000 Republicans voted for the Attorney General. 784 voted for the Secretary of State. Both Republicans... but only 627 voted for the Republican governor what gives? That means between 120,000 and 130,000 Republicans have voted for a Democrat governor instead well doesn't make any sense oh that's like did the Democrat win in Kentucky yeah

1:28:16 Well, there you go. He's reelected. A lot of people get confused about what this means. Oh it's a blue wave! Mmm okay. It's a wave of nothing. It's the wave of nothing. Meanwhile we had to slam Trump and oh her I wasn't even prepared with my own setup. I'm surprised Yes, who do you bring out to the view if you want a slam Trump? There she is ladies and gentlemen She's flapping her wings she's flying around oh yes! Hillary Clinton on the view lovely lovely lovely You know this country has a lot of problems

CHAPTER 22 / 41 Discussion

Hillary Clinton on The View, Trump "Id" and Cult Mentality

Hillary Clinton appeared on The View to discuss the "danger" of a second Donald Trump term. She described Trump as a "walking id" and suggested his supporters are suffering from a "cult-like dementia," while Joy Behar promoted her new play.

hillary clinton· the view· donald trump· psychology· joy behar

1:28:57 And the main one is named Donald Trump. Okay, I can't personally believe that this loser has so many people who still think that he could make a decent president He's been criminally charged with 91 counts I mean he's practically got one foot in jail and no going on a banana peel this guy and they still say oh we Still like him what do you make of that? Oh, I don't know Joy. Didn't you just write a play about this? Did she just write a play? Has Joy Behar written a play? News to me! By the way, Mrs Clinton did win the popular vote. Yeah. Well done. Look, I think you're absolutely right to sound the alarm and what I think again we saw yesterday is that

1:29:46 a lot of people may not be telling pollsters they're reconsidering but they are reconsidering. I do, I think that the chaos that comes with him is just not attractive to a majority of people anymore but look there are people who still I'll support him, they say they're gonna vote for him. We just have to limit the number of those people and reach out to those who are having second thoughts who say well you know I thought he would have done better or how much longer is he going do this rigged election thing? Or look at all the problems he's got in the court system so i think we have to keep reaching out to the people who are open to looking at the damage that he would cause if you were ever anywhere near The White House again. But it costs a lot...I mean we should lock him up now

1:30:35 Bonkers in the Burroughs at the New York Comedy Festival. Five short plays by Joy Behar about New Yorkers and all five boroughs, so yes I guess you did write a play about it. Well betcha that's a good one too! Now we bring in the lawyer Sunny Hostin. Some of the polls reflect that voters That if he is convicted voters will change their opinion about him and won't vote for him. Even the ones who are supporting him now? Exactly, so I trust that our country is smart enough not to do that. Why do you think that's true just because he's convicted they don't believe anything now why would they believe there are some that will change their vote. That is exactly what these polls have shown Wait a minute So first people are lying to pollsters They really they're lying to them but this

1:31:25 the polls show. You know I think when you are, any kind of relationship when you're a hundred percent committed it's really hard to say you were wrong yeah yes people go oh yeah why are you still with this guy and you're like well you know I thought he would do this or I liked what he did there and it's hard for people to separate and I did say and I believe this in their lot of other people not just me saying that Liz Cheney said it recently that they're There's a kind of cult-like dementia here. He is like a walking id, you know in psychology you've got the ego and the super ego and the id This went way over everyone's head what is an id? Can you explain it because I'm sure that... Yeah there's this thing goes back to Freud where they divide

1:32:12 divides the brain into subconscious, the brain into the ego and the id and the superego. It's all is in these chunks as a kind of like college girls you know kind of remembrance and so it worked into... The id is like the animal And okay this one so this went over the crowds head the view yeah, but it did because it's like old-fashioned and it's on its you know It says so Tariq to say the least nowadays. Yeah a walking id You know in psychology you've got an ego and the super ego and the id and so a lot of people go Oh man Did you hear what he said? It's like watching a constant Entertainment show and yes

CHAPTER 23 / 41 Discussion

Trump-Hitler Comparisons, Electoral College and ABC Retraction

Hillary Clinton compared Donald Trump's potential re-election to the rise of Hitler, warning he would use the military against domestic opposition. Following a commercial break, she issued a scripted clarification regarding her acceptance of the 2016 results while reiterating her opposition to the Electoral College.

hillary clinton· adolf hitler· electoral college· abc news· election denial

1:32:56 Yes, into that and they don't want to give it up because it is you know kind of entertaining and interest wants the chaos. Yes It's not chaos. It's a comedy show But now we have to do something that always belongs in a conversation about Donald Trump We have to bring up Hitler I think that your loss in 2016 will go down in history as one of the most pivotal times in our country one of the most pivotal moments in our country And it's still reeling from You know, Trump's policies I think and the deep divisions that he sowed in this country. What in your view would happen if he were to be re-elected? Oh no! I can't even think of it because I think it would be the end of our country as we know it and I don't say that lightly you know I hated losing

1:33:47 And I especially hated losing to him because i had seen so many warning signals during the campaign. But, I immediately said look we have to give them a chance We've got to support you know the president that we have and I meant it and I tried really hard She said she's the resistance! Hey man, bring up Hitler. But I immediately said look we have to give him a chance we've got to support the president that we have and I meant it and I tried really hard literally from his inauguration on it was nothing but you know accusing people of things making up facts denying the size of the crowd at his own inauguration

1:34:30 Everything that I worried about, I saw unfolding. And so...I think that he'd be even worse now because he was somewhat restrained believe it or not in the first term by people who he hired because he thought they would go along with him and they stood up to him. And so now he is going to if you were ever near- Stop stop stop! Do you remember the narrative that nobody would stand up to him? Yes. Well, apparently that was not the narrative everyone was standing up to him and that's why he didn't destroy the country People moved to Canada! By people who he hired

1:35:12 because he thought they would go along with him and they stood up to him. And so now, if you were ever near the Oval Office again find people who have no principles, no conscience who are totally tied to his fortunes literally and therefore would do whatever he said. So the wreckage is almost unimaginable You know when I was Secretary of State i used to talk about one-and done what I meant by that People would get legitimately elected. And then they would try to do away with elections and do away with opposition and do away with a free press. Like Zelensky? She's talking about Zelensky, so right! Bring up Hitler Hilary! With elections and do away with opposition and do away with a free press. You could see it in countries where well Hitler was duly elected, right?

1:36:11 if That's his word. The man means to throw people in jail who disagree with him, shut down legitimate press outlets do what he can to literally undermine the rule of law He kept saying...the crowds in 2016 were chanting lock her up! Lock her up! He didn't even throw Hillary in jail And our country values He will use the military They never even indicted her for anything Even though she clearly violated the law Protestors He is not going to a whole bunch of stuff right now

1:36:58 Right now. Not right now, well not yet but we'll find out what more we think can go on when we come back. So what happened? Now something interesting happened I think legal at ABC called down to the studio and said, yeah we got a problem with what Joy was ad-libbing there. You know this is a tightly scripted program so we're not quite sure why she did that. We need a retraction on the air people. Let me get let me get a list and please correct something. Oh you do? Yeah, because I don't want the impression to be made that I didn't accept the results of they led the Trump administration to win But I don't like the Electoral College And that's the thing that needs to be addressed because it's not one person one based on slavery yeah, and I think it's un-american

1:37:54 It's un-American! I think the Electoral College is un-American. We've got to get rid of that, that's the problem we have to address and i don't want to sound like an election denier according to ABC Legal these people... Yeah you're right somebody made the call down totally yeah you're right in this show it was very scripted oh yeah she went off script Oh man it's just so tiring yeah and we still have a whole year to go It's gonna get worse. John, a whole year! I don't know if we can handle this. Yeah we're the best. We're the best yes. So i have some... We are the best at handling this. Yes take it easy people Don't worry we got another year to go before you have to have your vote changed by the machine

APEC Summit San Francisco, Xi Jinping and Homeless Sweeps

San Francisco is preparing for the APEC summit and a meeting between President Joe Biden and Chinese leader Xi Jinping. The city has conducted massive sweeps of homeless encampments and "gussied up" the streets to avoid international embarrassment during the high-security event.

Blaise G. and San Francisco part one from NTD 20 thousand attendees representing 21 member economies will be in the city of San Francisco but what are the highlights other than heightened security massive road closures and protests? I think it's particularly significant this year because United States and China, the opportunity to have President Xi meet with

1:39:30 The White House announced last week that U.S President Biden will meet with the Chinese leader Xi Jinping, making the first time the two leaders will speak in person since a year ago. Chairman is facing a lot of pressure from downturn economy in China he want American business to go to China to make more investment and he also want Americans to buy more products from China so that's why he's coming Both sides have been showing signs of easing up the tensions. As I've said since the beginning of my administration, we seek competition not conflict with China

1:40:09 We're not looking for a new Cold War. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is also scheduled to host Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng for two days for talks in San Francisco before the start of APEC summit This all comes on the heels of California Governor Newsom's recent week-long visit to China and meeting with Chinese President Xi Well, this is interesting Why didn't they talk about that at the debate last night? What a perfect opportunity So the Seoul city's been gonna be shut down basically you can't go over there a couple of bridge lanes are gonna be closed. Oh, oh do you mean the homeless can't move around? They- no they've already rousted them! They've rousted the homeless cleaned up the poop Where'd they put him?! I have no idea i'm trying to figure it out by the news reports but all I know is that the whole- I would like take a drive over there maybe I'll do it tomorrow No please To see what's going on because they have Threatened me

1:41:05 gussying up the city, they're spending all the money they can to gussy it up for... Because they know that Chinese media is going to be here and if they see one homeless guy pooping on the street there's gonna have to be all over Chinese news. It'll be a humiliation for us. Well hold on, hold on second because first of all Xi is coming here because he wants more business which is our dark deal you know everything manufactured in China we buy at dollars they go around they buy our debt I mean it's a system So this really detracts from the whole Republican debate. I mean someone should have said, I can't believe San Francisco's gonna have Xi over Biden is gonna meet with Xi he's our enemy they didn't do any of that because I don't understand it rap

1:41:49 It's all just crap. Scripted is right. When Biden comes into town it causes nothing but trouble because... You got to paint your roof blue, John, just so the direct energy weapon gets deployed to be careful So anyway, here's part two of this. And that's been a very important issue for us because we're very concerned about the transfer of technology to China, potentially for defense purposes. But others are skeptical of China's position in the economic sector. More than 90% of Americans have negative opinions about China so I don't think Xi is going to be very successful to attract a lot of investments into China While AIPACT is intended to be an economic forum

1:42:49 Political topics do come up during discussions among world leaders, especially when international tensions run high with the current Russia-Ukraine war and conflicts in the Middle East. Meanwhile San Francisco is aggressively clearing homeless encampments increasing drug related arrests to improve the city's image as delegations arrive. Hey hey that'll fool them yeah clean up the streets that'll trick him into thinking everything's great here The question you asked earlier is the question I still have, which is where are they putting them? Now this going to be at the Moscone Center or where are they gonna do it. Yeah! It's gonna be right in the Mosconi Center. There's actually two sections that're gonna be blockaded. It's gonna be the entire Mosconi area No way... no traffic and a Fairmont there I guess they're putting everybody up at the Fairmont on top of the hill Wait a minute, oh is not the Fairmont and Union Square

1:43:44 No, this is the Fairmont on the hill. There is no Fairmont on Union Square What's at Union Square? There was something with an F I thought there was a Fairmont there Oh, the Fairmount of Union Square Thought there was a Fairmont there Which is filled with homeless Remember Yeah Now maybe...I'm confused Maybe it IS the Union Square Hotel But that's still some distance away from But they had the homeless in Fairmont, I'm sure of it. I don't know if they put the homeless in there and I think that was because they tried to not do that but whatever the case is, that's all blockaded so this city is going to be a mess or nobody should go to San Francisco but again, I don't know what they've done with all these people and hundreds of them...I think there are like 6500. This is the time to initiate the shantytown

1:44:37 On the hill. Fairmont on the Hill? Somewhere, yeah. Or on the hill where they have a view. Yeah just like Brazil perfect No one cares about the American homeless no one cares about the drug addicts no we care about Hamas! Israel! Bleh! Who's side are you on?! It is time... Well talking about that I have a couple of clips Oh please can we not talk about that i'm so tired I want to talk about because I've got these clips okay this is Dershowitz All right, and Dershowitz went on the I think it's a little tv local TV show or something that That Huckabee does he can't get on any other network. No one will have So he's on tbd i think is called tbs on with huckabee huckabee has a show Yeah yeah, huckabee has a show and so dersh went on the show uh

CHAPTER 25 / 41 Discussion

Alan Dershowitz, Harvard Antisemitism and University Reckoning

Alan Dershowitz appeared on Mike Huckabee's show to lament the rise of antisemitism at Harvard and other elite universities. He called for a "reckoning" and urged donors to stop funding institutions that support anti-Israel petitions and Hamas.

alan dershowitz· harvard· antisemitism· mike huckabee· donors

1:45:32 in the last few weeks and he was doing a lamentation which I had to have to, I had to clip and play. What is it? Lamentation? Well it's kind of a Christian idea It's where you just lament your woes Oh, you know this? Oh. You know and the worst thing... And I think it's kind of a prayer in some ways but isn't that Catholic? Maybe it is Catholic maybe its not anything else but it's moaning and groaning No thats Jewish come on get your religion straight! There ya go So he comes up with the lamentation I have two clips here and the lamentations as I listen to it cause during..I've followed this guy since I was in college This guys old

1:46:16 And the lamentation that much of this is actually his fault. But the open... Jewish professors are all good people. I'm sorry, let me finish. It was way too big of a pause. I'm sorry. You're right you hit it but Jewish professors largely responsible for what's happened in the colleges and now they're doing lamentations about it and they blame everybody but themselves. Do you want to back that claim up? What are you saying, Jewish professors are responsible for wokeness? Yeah! Before we play these clips do explain I've been through the system I went to University of California Berkeley

1:47:06 And the Jewish liberal elite in this country is largely responsible for wokeness. Wow! I don't think i've heard this accusation yet anywhere. Well there it is. Off to check with Dan Bongino Take with Bongino, he'll tell you. But the ultimate victims are all good people All Americans Judeo-Christian values That's what's under attack This is a war between decency and barbarism I'm not talking about the Palestinian people They should be saved from Hamas And allowed to live in peace I'm talking about these people from Hamas that

1:47:48 raped and these people at Harvard who support the rapists? Can you imagine them supporting rapists in any other context I cannot. You taught there for many years, one of the most distinguished professors of law anywhere your career at Harvard was stellar. Paul, I have a question since when is rapist worse than killers He kind of positions raping above killing. Did I misunderstand? Well, he never mentions killings...I think that was just an oversight. Okay. I cannot! You taught there for many years one of the most distinguished professors of law anywhere Your career at Harvard was stellar

1:48:31 Are you shocked by what you're seeing at the campus? You know, it reminds me of... I remember reading about a Jewish professor in Berlin who loved to teach German students and then he was taken into the gas chambers by one of his own students ten years later. When i think of my students who I taught, I labored over them, I loved them! I wrote them recommendations And then they write a petition saying it's all Israel's fault. Imagine if I had students who were in the Ku Klux Klan and they said, oh those black people who were lynched it was their fault or those women who are raped It was their fault for the people who were shot in the street. It was there full That's what these students were saying and I said to myself I taught them for 50 years What has gone wrong?

1:49:23 TikTok? Hello! This is the lament. TikTok, what else could have gone wrong these are MKUltra trauma mind-controlled human beings hello well he did a shitty job of teaching him if they all if they turned on me and I would say the same thing to that The folklore-ish story about the Jewish professor was walked into the gas chambers by one of his students. I've never heard this story, but it's a good one It's a good one But you know and it probably happened at some level in some way yeah George Soros walked me. George Soros was the happiest time of my life! George Soros was the guy Happiest time of my life is Yes He said it And so

1:50:11 So this lament just goes on and it's really he's beside himself with this. And I think he should be because it's like what will, it's... He has to have some response but think that there's, he's got something to do with it. Yeah so let's go with part two second part of this clip. It must be a little comforting to see that many of the high dollar donors to schools like Harvard and Penn and others are saying we're not giving any more money unless you stand against this. Non-Jews as well as Jews, Huntsman and Mormon has said that many many other people they've said look We have a lot of places to give our money too. We've given it to Harvard and Yale and other schools

1:50:53 But look what they've turned out. There has to be a reckoning when George Floyd was killed and it was horrible, one man filled with drugs long history of crime one man is killed What happens? A major reckoning at every American not only university media company corporation admission standards change the curriculum changed We need a reckoning by universities about their attitude toward Jews Judeo-Christian values toward America, toward patriotism. We need a reckoning and until that reckoning comes we must stop supporting those schools financially. Yeah all right got a little applause there yeah

1:51:41 Well, I just found this to be funny. It's funny because is he just now figuring out that That's that's what's funny you Just do you isolated the humorous moment has he just after? He's like his 80 something now He just figured this out and then he's to blame and it he's to blame Oh goodness Well, since you broached the topic let's get a little update from our resident spook Richard Engel. Let's see what's going on. Let's see what's happening! The Israeli military says it's fighting inside Gaza City tonight

CHAPTER 26 / 41 Discussion

Gaza Conflict, Dumb Bombs and White Phosphorus

Reports on the escalating conflict in Gaza, with U.S. officials expressing concern over the use of "dumb bombs" and high civilian casualties. The Biden administration is reportedly unlikely to grant Israel's request for white phosphorus shells due to the horrific burns they cause.

gaza· israel· dumb bombs· white phosphorus· civilian casualties

1:52:20 Releasing this video of soldiers on the hunt for... And again, I have to give props because you know you don't even have to see the video. You hear all the explosions and death and destruction This is so bad for...this is war noise! War noise? You've heard a food noise. This is war noise for your brain The Israeli military says it's fighting inside Gaza City tonight Releasing this video of soldiers on the hunt for Hamas. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu says Israel will take overall security responsibility in Gaza for an unspecified period to prevent another Hamas attack

1:53:05 prompting this response from the White House. The president maintains his position that a reoccupation by Israeli forces is not the right thing to do Israel's air and ground offensive is turning cities into wastelands, and many Palestinians say Israel is carrying out its revenge against 2.3 million people who can't leave the Gaza Strip One month on, and this war still seems to be in it's early stages And Richard, I know there's also a new headline tonight about the war's impact on the people of Gaza. The UN said today 70% of Gazans have been displaced from their homes since the start of the war That's about 1 and half million people Lester We have... let see

1:53:56 We have Israel being very bad. CBS has this report. President Biden called Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu again this morning, telling him it is imperative to reduce civilian casualties in Gaza which by US count are skyrocketing Many thousands have been killed and many more injured and or wounded. U.S officials say the majority of bombs Israel has dropped on Gaza are unguided, so-called dumb bombs which are accurate but less precise than satellite guided weapons I can't believe they're using dumb bombs how about the smart bombs? The smart... But we've been using surgical strikes from smart bombs for decades now They're using dumb bombs

1:54:41 These officials say the primary cause of civilian casualties is not the misses, but Israel's willingness to strike targets Hamas located in civilian neighborhoods. This is tragic but we cannot allow Hamas immunity just because they hide behind civilians Israel claims it has killed more than 60 Hamas operatives, but US officials question whether the military value of the strikes is worth the civilian harm. Now listen to the horrible noises in the background people in sheer terror good job CBS! The Israelis have dropped leaflets warning civilians to flee northern Gaza even so said one us official civilian casualties are not a priority of theirs you know

1:55:26 If you look online right now, Ben it doesn't matter where you look. Wait hold stop! What? He said something interesting the way he pr- p- said it civilian casualties are not a priority. Let me listen again. What kind of sentence is that? What does that mean? Let's listen. Question whether the military value of the strikes is worth the civilian harm. The Israelis have dropped leaflets warning civilians to flee northern Gaza even so said one US official, civilian casualties are not a priority of theirs. Okay well

1:56:04 Does that mean you would prioritize, you want more civilian casualties or don't care? That's one way of looking at it. What does it mean to say that? Well now I have to finish the report. How Israel does this matters we will focus as well on steps that need to be taken to protect civilians who are in a crossfire of Hamas's making. The US is already shipping Israel precision-guided 250 pound bombs which have a much smaller blast radius compared to some other bunker busters that have been used to go after the Hamas tunnel system. Israel says it needs more white phosphorus shells, which can be used to create smoke screens but also cause horrific burns

1:56:46 A US official says the Biden administration is unlikely to grant that request. Oh, after we saw we just got those are all going to Ukraine? Yeah, we sent cluster bombs to Ukraine. All but white phosphorus on Ukraine. Yeah and We have evidence now. We also mentioned the tunnels you and I both got the clip where these both had it I saw you posted on knowledge in The Social so I have the clip just on the tunnels which has always been this, you know there's always a tunnel. Bin Laden had a tunnel it was so sophisticated bin laden's tunnel system it wasn't just tunnels it was entire headquarters layers and here is secretary of defense at the time Donald Rumsfeld with um thing was on meet the press

CHAPTER 27 / 41 Discussion

Rumsfeld Tunnel Map, Media Embeds and War Imagery

A look back at Donald Rumsfeld's 2001 description of sophisticated Al-Qaeda tunnels, comparing them to current Hamas tunnel systems. The segment also addresses allegations that journalists from AP and CNN were embedded with Hamas during the October 7th attacks.

donald rumsfeld· tunnels· hamas· associated press· war photography

1:57:32 with the dead guy now what's his name yeah you're right uh yeah him that guy and he's got the picture of this eight story tunnels deep with meeting rooms here it is here's the clip beds here's the clip there was constant discussion about him hiding out in caves and i think many times the american people have a perception that it's a little hole dug out of a side of a mountain oh no this is it this is a fortress A complex, multi-tiered bedrooms and offices on the top as you can see. Secret exits on the side and at the bottom cut deep to avoid thermal detection a ventilation system to allow people to breathe and carry on The entrance is large enough to drive trucks and even tanks Even computer systems and telephone systems

1:58:15 It's a very sophisticated operation. Oh you bet this is serious business, and there's not one of those There are many of those have we ever seen One of these caves yes on the James Bond third movie Blofeld had one That's where he got the idea from Good that's good I was gonna say oh That what we're seeing, some of it is obviously on mainstream television. But when you look on Twitter, when you look on Telegram... When you look on really anywhere I'm not in any other social networks The death and destruction and horrible pictures that we are being exposed to every single day And the algorithms pick it up! I mean-and I'm gonna date myself Back in the day

1:59:11 We had a video called Faces of Death. Oh yeah! And it was passed around, you had... I think there were like version two of that thing it was so popular and and you had a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy. It was good, Harry. Yeah, it was all fuzzy and you saw people dying in horrific ways And that was like, oh man you got faces of death and we'd have we go over to someone's house. My parents are in my parents aren't home. I mean watch that and it'll be disturbed by it, you know disturbed. Same thing but this is on a non-stop basis

1:59:53 It is severe, it's very very very destructive to everybody. Everybody you need to get off this stuff Get off the social media! Even off of your phone Yes be like JCD it is so destructive it is bad for you and I love these stories So now there's some evidence that Associated Press, CNN the New York Times and Reuters had journalists embedded with Hamas on the October 7th event. And they were following them and taking pictures... They were ready! They were there ready for this to take place. Photographers without borders. I don't believe this for a minute Well you know the mainstream itself is reporting on this

2:00:48 I would like to see some documentation. There is some documentation! Again, i'm very skeptical of this report...I think it's just a demean the media which is already in bad shape. If any of this is true people should be arrested Well they have pictures of known journalists taking pictures before they go through the gate So, you know. I'm not sure but if it's to demean the media...I'm good with that too! Well that always applies, but still And then the other thing... For the right reason. I'd like to debunk the, you know this isn't just about this is about The Canal! The Ben-Gurion Canal Project! No. Wow Yeah Like it was going right through Gaza! No look at the map please look at the map It's about the pipeline no no no It's so tiring Just tiring

CHAPTER 28 / 41 Discussion

Hamas Hostage Update, Capitol Hill Testimony

Families of Hamas hostages testified on Capitol Hill, urging the U.S. government to do more to secure the release of over 240 people. The discussion highlights the political divide over calls for a ceasefire that do not include the immediate return of hostages.

hamas· hostages· capitol hill· ceasefire· ntd

2:01:51 Anyway, I've got... what do i have? Do we even want to listen to Netanyahu, what he has to say? No. It's anybody but him. Okay well then let's... I do have a kind of an update that Hamas hostage update from NTD. Okay let's listen to that. You should play the NTD intro Oh! I thought you were sick of it now. This is MTD. A cry for help on Capitol Hill, families of Hamas hostages tell their stories and ask the US to do more to rescue their loved ones. NTD's Melina Weisskopf has the story. We don't have a list of the hostages we don't know their condition I don't have anything so i need your help. On October 7th my life stopped

2:02:47 when my two younger brothers, Galin and Ziv Berman were kidnapped. Hamas is believed to be holding hostage a total of around 240 people since their initial attack in Gaza one month ago Just four hostages have been released and one has been rescued but the vast majority remain with little details known Hamas took them the youngest said I'm too young, don't take me. There are over 30 kids. The youngest of them is only 10 months old and again we do not know the condition of any of them. The Biden administration has called for a pause in fighting to allow humanitarian aid to get through and for civilians to get out

2:03:28 While many support the idea of pauses, some Democrats are critical of calls even within their own party for a ceasefire before the hostages are released. And the fact that there are people advocating for a cease fire without discussing that the hostages must be returned makes no sense and runs completely counter to our American values Israel's Prime Minister is opposing a ceasefire until all the hostages are released. Yeah, they're trying to get a script together They're trying to get a hostage situation We love a good hostage situation story

CHAPTER 29 / 41 Discussion

Syria Airstrikes, Iranian Proxies and Naval Deterrence

The U.S. military launched airstrikes against Iranian-linked weapon storage facilities in Syria following 40 attacks on U.S. troops. The Pentagon has deployed a second aircraft carrier and a nuclear submarine to the region as a message of deterrence to Iran and its proxies.

syria· iran· airstrikes· uss eisenhower· houthi rebels

2:04:04 We love that and then when you know because it always has a great payoff when the hostages are released. Screw these people, screw the whole media on all of this! All of it is so disgusting let's look at Iran because that's the only thing that matters. We begin tonight with breaking news just learning from the Pentagon about air strikes in eastern Syria and to target a weapons storage facility linked to Iran and Iranian-backed troops. The Secretary of Defense revealing that the U.S. military is responding to more than 40 attacks on US forces in Iraq and Syria, these attacks have left dozens of our soldiers and troops with traumatic brain injuries

2:04:42 Let's get straight to the breaking news with CBS. Breaking News! Weijia Jiang at the White House, good evening, Weijia. Come on. What are you learning? Break, what are you learning?! Good evening to you Norah tonight at the direction of President Biden two F-15 fighter jets launched airstrikes in eastern Syria weapons facility that is used by Iran's Revolutionary Guard and proxy forces that are backed by Iran. They were in response to attacks by those groups on U.S. troops in both Syria and Iraq, over 40 in the last three weeks alone that have injured nearly 50 American service members. And just today US troops were attacked again in Syria

2:05:19 And in another sign of the increased tensions in the region, an American Reaper drone costing about $30 million was shot down in the Red Sea by Iranian-backed Houthi rebels. They had fired missiles last month toward Israel which were shot down by a U.S. naval ship President Biden has repeatedly warned Iran, a longtime adversary of Israel against getting involved in the war in the Middle East. Nora? And they are sending a message tonight no doubt. Yes! They're sending a message tonight we're all jacked because that's what the CIA does they start wars... and I'm still skeptical about these Houthi missiles. Of course. They got their own problems

2:05:59 sending random missiles across our fleets which are gonna shoot them down as they put it. CBS, the CIA broadcasting systems all they want is to get Iran a war with Iran going that's the next I don't think it's working actually I'm not sure I mean no time's running out yeah listen to this one Secretary of State Antony Blinken shuttled diplomacy in the Middle East isn't the Biden administration's only attempt at avoiding a wider war We learned that a second aircraft carrier, the USS Eisenhower just arrived in the Red Sea over the weekend. It is headed to the Persian Gulf. That is a clear message of deterrence and it is directed at Iran. And then just yesterday, The Pentagon revealing that an U.S nuclear submarine crossed through the Suez Canal. The fact that we can see these pictures is very rare but it is deliberate, a message

2:06:46 These vessels operate mostly in secret, even called the silent service. This submarine can carry 154 Tomahawk cruise missiles that is a major threat to any adversary. Yeah no well that makes sense good idea let's do that lets send something dangerous another aircraft carrier Let's go. This is great, this is fantastic! I thought that Eisenhower was positioned there already...I don't know if this is news? It doesn't matter these people the media the military-industrial complex 99% of all of our political representatives not leaders representatives are war mongers. Nikki Haley is the cheerleader

CHAPTER 30 / 41 Discussion

Antony Blinken, Indo-Pacific Diplomacy and Shen Yun

Secretary of State Antony Blinken shifted his focus to the Indo-Pacific, visiting Japan and South Korea. The State Department expressed concern over China's economic coercion, specifically efforts to block the American performing arts company Shen Yun from performing in South Korea.

antony blinken· south korea· japan· shen yun· china

2:07:27 in three years meanwhile of course you don't mention this is the center of how old that reporters his blink is not there anymore he's on the move he's on the move for a second where she was the off to Following a crisis visit to the Middle East, Secretary of State Antony Blinken is now shifting the focus of his intense diplomacy efforts from the Middle East now to the Indo-Pacific. For yesterday and today's meeting with counterparts from G7 democracies in Japan where in addition to ongoing wars in the Middle East and Ukraine topics such as China economic coercion toward other Asian countries are also at the top of their agenda. Here's what Secretary Blinken told his Japanese counterparts during a meeting today, watch. During support for Ukraine, the work that we're doing together to combat economic coercion in terms of trilateral cooperation with the Republic of Korea all of these are vital

2:08:21 Blinken is also visiting South Korea on both Wednesday and Thursday. And today I asked the State Department during its briefing about China's economic coercion specifically towards South Korea, in which ongoing efforts are being done by the Chinese embassy in South Korea to try to block an American performing arts company Shen Yun from performing in South Korea The classical Chinese stand show, which is widely popular around the world is banned in China due to its portrayal of some human rights persecutions in mainland China. And the State Department told me that they continue to be concerned about such practices by Beijing to use as economic leverage to try and pressure our democratic allies. Stupidity! Now this brings me to a question why doesn't he just come to San Francisco next week? Yeah just hang out with him there

2:09:09 And when he went to China, Xi wouldn't meet with him. That's almost as stupid as Buttigieg going to meet with Zelensky! What's that about? That's pretty stupid. Let's listen to part two of this and then we can talk about how stupid Buttigieg is. Meanwhile, President Biden is set to meet with China's Xi Jinping next week during the APEC summit in San Francisco. Of course remains to be seen how issues such as human rights abuses by China as well as China's increasingly aggressive actions toward other countries including espionage activities here in the US will be discussed. Yeah yeah okay

CHAPTER 31 / 41 Discussion

Chicago Sanctuary City Debate, Migrant Crisis and Protests

A Chicago City Council meeting devolved into chaos as protesters, primarily African-American residents, demanded a referendum on the city's sanctuary status. Residents expressed anger over the prioritization of migrants being dropped off in their neighborhoods.

chicago· sanctuary city· brandon johnson· migrants· referendum

2:09:47 But I need to talk about something else because this is just, I think everyone's tired of it. No? No they're not tired of it because everyone's all woo! I'm all jacked up but you're anti-this and pro-this. A lot people hate us for talking about it so calmly. Yeah exactly well then let me discuss something else because the very people in universities which Alan Dershowitz doesn't understand who are now protesting Israel for then waving Palestinian flags. They must have forgotten about Black Lives Matter I thought black lives mattered it doesn't matter anymore certainly not the black lives in Chicago

2:10:38 This was a meeting of the City Council Rules Committee which was about to take up debate over a proposal to let Chicagoans decide whether Chicago should remain a sanctuary city, welcoming to migrants. By putting that question onto a referendum on next spring's election ballot. But the meeting devolved into chaos after hundreds of protesters, mostly African-Americans packed the city council gallery and began shouting down the aldermen. They're angry after a special city council meeting on the migrant question was canceled last week when Mayor Brandon Johnson's floor leader Alderman Carlos Ramirez Rosa tried to prevent a quorum by discouraging aldermen from entering the chamber including a confrontation with longtime alderwoman Emma Mitz

2:11:20 Well, after about a half hour today's meeting was suspended and the crowd cleared. But not before some aldermen blamed the mayor and Sanctuary City supporters of causing the chaos by trying to block the referendum. Do you as a resident of Chicago believe that we should remain a sanctuary city? It is simple question. That's why you're seeing the chaos in this city. Because you're trying to silence a voice of certain people that just want to be heard. The debate on the sanctuary city referendum will continue on Thursday when the rules committee continues the meeting that was suspended today, no

2:12:01 yet on whether any special rules or security will be in place for that meeting. Now after the gallery was cleared today, the regular City Council meeting was held as scheduled and was peaceful." Yeah it's all the migrants being dropped off in predominantly black neighborhoods in Chicago yeah that's beautiful thing. I like the way he says trying to silence certain people when does he say trying to silent blacks of Chicago? Yeah why would they do that makes no sense can't be doing that This is a great time actually when the news media is just all about Israel and Hamas, Hamas-Israel. That's all that they can talk about it's a great time to have all kinds of other stuff happen

CHAPTER 32 / 41 Discussion

Massachusetts Brothel Ring, JP Morgan Epstein Settlement

Federal investigators busted a high-end brothel network in Massachusetts and Virginia catering to elected officials and executives. Separately, JP Morgan Chase settled with over 200 victims of Jeffrey Epstein to avoid testimony from CEO Jamie Dimon.

brothels· massachusetts· jp morgan· jeffrey epstein· jamie dimon

2:12:44 like this little ditty. Federal investigators say they busted a network of brothels in Massachusetts and Virginia that catered to well-connected clients, including elected officials and military officers. Authorities say potentially hundreds of people including doctors, lawyers, and pharmaceutical executives paid up to $600 an hour in cash for sex primarily with Asian women. Three people accused of operating the ring are in custody. Primarily with women? little gotcha. 600 primarily, but not exclusively with women these pharma execs you know what I'm saying? And politicians of course politician is notorious for whoring around that's nothing new that's how they get blackmailed and captured and then this

2:13:38 You know, remember when JP Morgan Chase got me up? They they basically paid off I think was 200 victims of Jeffrey Epstein. So so they had been Yeah, well yeah yes So that Jamie Dimon didn't have to go testify. Oh right, Jamie Dimon! Keep him out of it! Yeah they made a deal... They also spent a billion dollars on lawyers Wilmer Hale and so I think let me see it was must have been over 200

CHAPTER 33 / 41 Discussion

LAPD Suicides, Nashville Manifesto and Police Morale

Four Los Angeles Sheriff's Department employees died by suicide within a 24-hour period, bringing the yearly total to eight. The segment also touches on the leaked Nashville trans shooter manifesto and the media's focus on the leak rather than the content.

lapd· suicide· nashville shooter· manifesto· police morale

2:14:19 victims, because they want to set up a class action suit against Jamie Dimon and of course Chase Bank, JPMorgan Chase. Now 17 attorney generals have said it doesn't matter that you bought them off we can still take you to court over this and it looks like this is going to happen They're not getting out of this. Yeah? We'll see! Okay, good point and then we have in total eight four of which in the last 24 hours Los Angeles Sheriff's employees have killed themselves yeah this is now this is a weird story

2:15:08 Four Los Angeles Sheriff employees died by suicide within 24 hours. Another four sheriff department employees have died by suicide this year This is weird See they're either being murdered, which is what I'm thinking Which is what I would think Because the suicide, I mean you know maybe they did something that they're worried about and is a part of a scheme and they don't want to go to court or end up in jail where they get brutalized. But usually you'd give it a college try

2:15:47 Seems to me. I don't know something's miss with this story is unusual most most I know cops that have left They've just left law enforcement yeah, but that's for different does because it's not Rewarding too many more it's not because they didn't shoot themselves since this is a Since the pandemic many in law enforcement say police departments have been suffering from flagging morale and Thanks to a wave of anti-police sentiment that peaked with the police killing of George. Yeah, Black Lives Matter you can thank them! But as many police departments have seen a mass exodus of officers over the last several years along with difficulty hiring new officers but that doesn't mean they're killing themselves? Yeah no... No it's like... I know So and its Los Angeles

2:16:29 So, which is just questionable. It's questionable. You know LA is like the nexus of corruption in California Yeah and then you know I don't have any clips or anything but the news media seems more obsessed with how How the Nashville trans shooters manifesto got out than the actual manifesto itself That's that's very strange Oh, they sold it. I ended up in contact with the Nashville police guy. Yeah yeah what did you hear? Well he says that the thing that got out is real That's what he wanted to convey. Oh i'm sure it is and we heard it was something like that It was multiple notebooks...yeah oh i'm sure it's real but no one's how it got out No it doesn't seem to be uh at his nobody seems to know yet And but who cares how about what's in it

CHAPTER 34 / 41 Discussion

Copernicus Climate Report, COP 28 and Global Boiling

The Copernicus Climate Change Service declared 2023 the warmest year on record. Ahead of the COP 28 summit in the UAE, UN researchers warned that fossil fuel production is set to double the levels deemed consistent with global climate goals.

copernicus· climate change· cop 28· uae· fossil fuels

2:17:28 What's in it is what's crazy. Yeah, well you can kind of see that what's in it has more to... didn't fit the narrative they're trying to push. No kidding! Speaking of narratives, it is a very important time right now we have UN meeting about the poles and I don't mean from Poland but the North and South Pole because as you know, the ice is melting faster than any time ever before. We're all going to die. It always is and it always will! And we have COP 29 coming up in the number one gas nation

2:18:11 I love that. And so right on cue, we need to promote this, we have the Copernicus Climate Change Service which is a part of the EU, the European Space Agency and well what do you think their report is? They had an emergency briefing! What do you think they had to say? Oh, everything's getting worse. Hottest year on record exactly! Oh yeah hottest is always the hottest. Copernicus Climate Change Service said they were the largest wildfires recorded on European soil in years now the organization is warning of something even worse

2:18:47 we can say with almost complete certainty that 2023 is the warmest year on record and it now beats the previous warmest year by 0.1 degrees Celsius, and the previous warmest year was 2016 Copernicus, which is part of the European Space Agency says temperatures in October smashed records up 0.85 degrees above the long-term average for the month The huge rise follows four months of global temperature records being obliterated Amid extreme events like Storm Daniel which killed more than 11,000 people in Libya Oops hold on a second it wasn't the storm Daniel that killed eleven thousand people It was the crappy

2:19:31 dams that people went to jail over but okay let's just... That have been reported as lousy for years. Let's just call it Storm Daniel. Storm Daniel which killed more than 11,000 people in Libya. The reality is that the warmer our planet is the more extreme events we will have and so we'll not only get more extreme events but they'll be more intense as well I have a question about this so not only will get more extreme events all subjective words What does it mean that they will get, what is the term she used? Hold on a second. And so we'll not only get more extreme events but there'll be more intense as well. Intense. Is there an intensity scale of these storms or how do they measure intense? Well there's hurricanes one through five. Oh its intense

2:20:17 A report released Wednesday by the United Nations has warned things could yet get worse. Researchers at the UN said global fossil fuel production in 2030 is set to be more than double the levels deemed consistent with meeting global climate goals. Those were set under the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement. The warning comes as global experts met in Paris for the One Planet Polar Summit, the first international meeting dedicated to glaciers and poles Attention, however is focused squarely on the upcoming COP summit at the end of November in the UAE. Worrying growth and the use of fossil fuels failing renewable projects for wind farms in places like the UK and US And the growing abandonment of climate pledges have all cast shadows over the meeting The EU's Climate Commissioner Wapke Hoekstra warned last month if we don't do enough

2:21:08 The plant will be boiling According to Europe's climate scientists it already is that's the only that's the Dutch guy vodka If we don't do enough, the world will be boiling. You will be like frogs in a boiling pot you people is shit man! So they're gonna go to the UAE which is an incredibly warm area Yes yes and they're gonna blame that of course it's been that way forever but they're gonna blame it on climate change Oh so hot here... Yes yes yes of course And it's the two-year anniversary time once again to remind ourselves of that bastion of truth, the Ice Age farmer who always speaks the truth. To check in with his prognostication from 2 years ago Let's go back to that show shall we?

CHAPTER 35 / 41 Discussion

Ice Age Farmer, Carbon Pipelines and Food Shortages

A look back at a two-year-old prediction from the "Ice Age Farmer" regarding land confiscation for carbon capture pipelines and impending food shortages. The hosts evaluate the accuracy of these claims in the context of current food prices and availability.

ice age farmer· carbon capture· corn belt· food crisis· eminent domain

2:22:01 And I'll wrap it up with the latest report from the Ice Age Farmer, again showing you what the idea is. American farmers are having their land confiscated through the use of imminent domain—they will not be allowed to farm there going forward—in order to make room for a massive carbon capture and sequestration pipeline These pipelines, there are two such projects run thousands of miles through the very heart of the Corn Belt. The nation's most productive farmland There are letters going out now like the one on your screen by the thousands announcing to surprised farmers that we'll just be taking your land Land that you have owned and your family and worked in some cases for generations now

2:22:50 These announcements are particularly salient in light of the fact that even now there are warnings going out from major fertilizer CEOs saying we're gonna have a food crisis next year. There's not gonna be enough food to eat and indeed this is quote, a life or death issue. Don't listen to me! Don't listen to that guy. Now, I want you to put that clip... Can you mark it with something? Because i wanna play again one year from now when we're having these food shortages. Okay. And checking in on the second anniversary! Have we seen food shortages at any moment time yet? John have we seen the food shortages? Uh depends on who you are and where you live In The United States?! I don't think so. I don't think- now It's un- It's unaffordable

2:23:44 I'll give him that, but don't think that is because of the carbon sequestration pipeline. Well they never ran that pipe did they? Of course not! No they didn't...I didn't That's why you need to talk You just need to trust your no agenda show And with that i'd like to thank you for your courage say in the morning to you The man who put the seas in the Copernicus climate change service Say hello to my friend on the other end The one and only Mr John C Devorak Well, in the morning to you Mr. Adam Curry Also in the morning all ships at sea boots on the ground feet in the air subs in the water and all the games of nights out there Let's count the trolls! There they are! Hello Trolls! Oh no oh no

CHAPTER 36 / 41 Discussion

Value for Value, Social Media Toxicity and Rejection Dysphoria

The hosts discuss the "Value for Value" model and their decision to avoid toxic social media disputes. They also mock a new condition identified by the Cleveland Clinic called "Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria," linked to ADHD and emotional regulation.

value for value· social media· rejection sensitive dysphoria· adhd· podcasting

2:24:31 Earlier we had 1947 trolls, it has now dropped off to 1738. And I checked it, did a count, silent count before we started the Israel-Hamas clips and we lost 200 trolls That's how it rolls with the trolls It is not good for business because we are not all excited and blaming one side or another We're not doing it right. I would say that's true, we are not doing it right. Yeah we've got to take a page from Dan Bongino or Megyn Kelly because we're not doing it right. Any of them. Shapiro! Shapiro! Can't talk fast enough to him. No absolutely not

2:25:18 Trolls are in the troll room and they do hang out there quite a bit. And it's 24-7 this troll room because we have noagendastream.com which has the troll room or trollroam.io, it basically goes to the same place. How did you get there from the IRC? You go to trollroom.io and then it tells you how you can get there from the IRC if you want to but why do that when you have a web page that has everything all in one handy place It's perfect. There are all kinds of shows that you can listen to there and, of course on Thursdays and Sundays we do this show live and we love doing it live because WE DO IT LIVE! And when we do it live...you know? You get everything. You get everything you need in real time. You can sit there at the office Lord knows what almost 2,000 people are doing they don't have to work on Thursday but they're probably working from home I dunno They're not in their WeWork offices thats for sure

2:26:12 And, uh... I think they kept him going. I'm sorry? I think the WeWork office is still running. I mean, I know the company went bankrupt Yeah but Well bankruptcy means they can be bought out right? Yeah that means you could still be in business yeah all right But they're at the cappuccino bar In the WeWork office, with their earbuds in. IRC dot zero node dot net if you really need to know If you're really into the IRC thing It's been there for 15 years so you should know it by now I'm surprised you don't I don't You can also follow us on noagendasocial.com I've been blocking people Now i'm turning into you This is horrible! I don't like myself

2:26:53 It's the practical way to go, it's pragmatic. You don't like yourself because you hated the idea that I was doing it and then now having to kind of do-it yourself...you realize, you know, the wisdom of it and now you hate yourself because you're wise? I don't hate myself! I hate what social media has become. To me, I have a email inbox And I have a no agenda social inbox, which I look at once or twice a day. Just go to my notifications anything good? No okay done and then X same thing on X which usually Oh what are we drinking oh I have food noise well this is as a matter of fact if i can find the label

2:27:41 Jia duo bao herbal tea. Yeah, it's the origin of a Chinese herbal tea since the Chang dynasty It's herbal tea made from prime herbal ingredients and it's actually made in Malaysia And its carbon I have yet to try it is it carbonated because I heard a pshh Well, it's not as carbonated as I like. No because it's from the Qing dynasty or whatever. It is not carbonated at all and it's too sweet Why did they go pssst? That was probably fermented. It was just a pressure of the temperature. You shouldn't be drinking that! They might poison you. I wouldn't drink this. Food noise...that's what it is If I grow a second head I'll let you know Okay thank you

2:28:27 No, social media has just become unused. It's bad for my health because I get people like... I might get riled up over it and then I want to reply no no so I just walk away it's not good none of us any good Just listen to- This is all got to do with blocking people Well, because it's an inbox and I just want to have a high signal-to-noise. I don't want the noise of people tagging me in their personal disputes amongst each other. We had some guy quit the show because of it! Some guy? Jeez... Lots of guys then gals and donors and special interests all... And donors

2:29:11 No, we're just going to stay the course. We'll give you whatever we think is necessary but we're not gonna pick sides in any of this it's not worth it It's not worth it to you either particularly because it's a region...it's a conflict in the region and was not the worst thing in the world. It's bad but it's not the worst thing that is not the most people who are killed in any kind of scenario there's a lot more going on and maybe you could just when's the last time there wasn't happy news report Even like a wedding. But they experiment with that constantly and it ends up being on TMZ

2:29:50 No. That's where your weddings are. Well, bring me a... Courtney had a baby! Well bring me I want to happy report next show Sunday Bring me at least one mainstream happy report Okay? You'll find it? Consider that my goal in life Alright then expect one every show and i don't think you can do it Yeah, I get you one every so often You know you don't happy news is naked naked news. That's how they could make it whatever happened to that girl They're still around naked news this time. It doesn't get more publicity G and let's see naked news calm when we see if they still exist

2:30:30 Yes, welcome to Naked News. Oh they're still... Here we go! Same woman or is it somebody new? They got a whole bunch of women. Speaking of things we like We are looking for your feedback. Have something to say. Have an opinion. They're all sitting around like the view naked Meet the anchors. There you go Okay happy news does exist there you go We're value for value. We don't have any commercials, but that would only depress us even more although we're open to pharmaceutical ads if it's only on podcasts because we'd be the masters of it which first of all want to have meetings with you

2:31:13 I want to talk about your branding. Want to talk about the names you choose because really, you're messing it up people. There's a new Mayo at the Cleveland Clinic not the same as my clinic. The Cleveland... So i'm looking at this naked news page and some of these girls I doubt these are their real names Is there really, you think somebody named Madison Bones? I hope so. Veronica Fox XX Hey no she's known! Veronica Fox she was a... Veronica Fox and here she is What was the bones lady what was her name? Madison Bones or maybe it's Banes I think it's bones I like bones better There's a new disorder

2:31:55 that the Cleveland Clinic is identifying, which I think is important for everybody to know because since we'll be going all pharma all the time. RSD! RSD. RSZ? RSD. Romeo Sierra Delta. It's called rejection sensitive dysphoria What does that mean? it's when you experience severe emotional pain because of a failure or feeling rejected This condition is linked to ADHD and experts suspect it happens due to differences in brain structure. Those differences mean your brain can't regulate rejection-related emotions and behaviors, making them much more intense! Can you believe the gall of these people? Rejection is a part of life.

And it has been working for 16 years But you should look at yourself in the mirror

2:33:49 How long have you not supported the show? Now there are many ways you can do it. Time, talent treasure so we accept all... We love cost-cutting measures such as websites promotions of course we have our boots on the ground everyone's a producer whether you support us monetarily or not You send us some information that only you know about. This is very helpful." We have a lawyer who was following the Missouri versus Biden case, did you know? That Bobby the Op tried to get in on that lawsuit and he got thrown out! He got rejected... I did not know that Yeah, he got rejected. He filed a brief... No standing. Mmmmm....I'm not sure if they gave him a no-standing. It had to be it Well if you wait for second, I can tell ya

2:34:38 Because our lawyer who's coming to the meetup, by the way. I look forward to meeting him He sent me a note here. Of course. I can't find it well That's just one of the many notes we get I also got a note about Tom Swift and The Hardy Boys I Didn't know what would it say? Well, I did not know that Tom Swift The Hardy Boys and more were all published by the Stratemeyer syndicate And the Stratemeyer syndicate was this guy, Stratemeyer who just started publishing all these books and he used... so he said Victor Appleton is the guy that wrote Tom Swift but there were multiple writers. He was really smart! So there was no one author of The Hardy Boys, Tom Swift or any of this other stuff I didn't know that

2:35:32 Cartoonists do that too. Let me see, yes Scott Adams. Let me see... Oh no, Scott actually does his own material Nancy drew the Hardy Boys Tom Swift the Bobsy Twins The Rover Boys and many more! And I also learned something else Tom Swift and his electronic rifle Do you know what that was used for later? Killing Nazis No it's where the term laser came from A Taser, I'm sorry to say. Taser Tom Swift and his electronic rifle TSER. I don't believe that for a minute says it right here on the wiki but it doesn't mean anything must be true no the taser company is the taser is a brand is a company name they said that's where they got it from so I kind of believe that

2:36:27 Yeah, this is the kind of fan- see that's happy news right there. If we could only... There you go! You did it! If only naked news ladies could present this and say no agenda show, they'd be much better off So we accept all kinds of, all forms of time and talent. We love our artists. We appreciate what you guys do so much and it really is the cherry on top for us after every single show. We sit down and were doing the credits like let's choose something great for us. And grouse about art! Grouse about it! It makes us happy, it really does. So we want to thank Dame Kenny Benn Is this the second time in a row for her? No

2:37:04 No, but she knows she missed one. She would have been a kick for bagger I think Well Dame Kenny Ben brought us the artwork for episode 1605 we titled that techno douche And now I'm trying to get to the art generator our generators and seem to be responding Can you get to the art generate? Oh here it is yeah, I'm on the art generator came through it came through was slow for some reason oh Let's take a look at what other and this was her Her instant protest box which contains 33 items and out of it was little palace Palestine flag little scarf You know, I got people sending. I got the boys from Mercy Me They were texting me Oh we can't wait to hear this show that art just tells me it's gonna be a doozy Yeah, I agree That's that's part of what the artwork is supposed to do

2:37:56 So let's see what else we had. We had nothing now, Jim Cramer with a creepy look now the two slices of bread stop war which is also Kenny Ben. No that's not the Met both are overt war rules was it was the right idea but it just wasn't cool yeah The Book With War Rules yet didn't quite do I like to debunkable by day also Dame Kenny been the drink debunkable why don't we use that did we even discuss No, we didn't use it because neither one of us... You were like what is there and I said the only thing i like is the instant protest. And we just kind of decided that was the end It was a very short meeting. It was rather short meeting yes thats true

2:38:39 But I let you have that one, and also let you have the title. I mean, I had titles and you said, I like techno douche! And I was like okay... No no no, you liked techno douche too. You also liked the art. This is an agreement situation where we both have to agree It's not one guy lording it over the other one like he just tried to make it sound. It's usually like, I gotta go somewhere just use that Mm-hmm. Well, that does happen Congratulations has happened Congratulations Dame Kenny Ben we really appreciate the work that you do and all of our no agenda artists and unlike You know real jobs that pay cash money instead of a credit it will give you a true review We'll tell ya but if we say nothing was there then your art wasn't just it wasn't good enough So where we're honest were here for you And we love it that you're there for us and we really appreciate that

2:39:33 Now on to the treasure portion. We have some interesting notes to get to today and I got a couple of emails, people were concerned about Sir Anonymous of Dogpatch in Lower Slobovia knowing that he is of the Muslim persuasion like hey man! I hope that comes back after all the way you guys position the war What did we do? Nothing. Nothing, and in fact there he is, Sir Animus of Dogpatch and Loers Lobovia right on cue thank you could not have been a better time and he sent a longer than usual note but also 2356 as his donation amount We're always humbled by you Sir Animus of Dogpatch and Loers Lobovia So let's hear his wise words this is a wise man that's all we know about him is that he's wise

2:40:23 Thank you to all the producers that support this show with time, talent and treasure. Again we watch neglected human and political issues raging in extreme violence at a time other parts of the world are already in flames Palestine isn't the only example of disenfranchised regions giving rise to conflicts and demonstrating the ongoing failure of the United Nations in supporting justice over the might-make sense aphorism. Aphorism? What is aphorism? Aphorism. Aphorism, what is that? It's like an old saying... The attacks by both sides are terrible and the human slaughter of women children elderly and innocent civilians is wrong Thank you two for offering some balance in this political and not religious conflict Yes thank you

2:41:19 Seeing our respective faiths attacked hurts us all anti-semitic and Islamophobic reaction have quickly returned in the turn the other cheek Christian world Justifying killing on both sides Thank you m5m and politicians Nikki Haley for again making out religious groups terrorists and killing Jews and Muslims acceptable for those wondering about attitude in the region It has quickly turned hostile following the West's overt side-taking. Western political leaders can rest assured Russia and China will make inroads, Jordan is about as close to Russia as Venezuela is to the US

As all millennials would do You can't tell time either What's a Botabag John

2:56:18 A Bota bag is this kind of a leather bag, supposedly even though it's usually lined. And back in the 70s I guess you'd have a Bota bag at your party and it would be filled with wine and it had a spout on it that squirted the wine out into kind of stream. Yes! You get over somebody and she opened her mouth like... and then just squirts the wine into their mouth. Right before you do a shotgun And that was the end of that. That ended pretty quickly 20, 30 years ago. So no millennial knows what the hell you're talking about. Leather pouch with a leather string on it? Oh yeah! The Bodebag.

ESG Investments, Biden Pension Rules and Sign-off

A final news item regarding the House Ways and Means Committee investigation into ESG investments in retirement plans. The segment notes that Biden administration rule changes have led to lower returns for pension funds before the hosts sign off with a custom musical mix.

esg· pension funds· joe biden· retirement· inflation

3:16:53 Boy, did we get to everything? No I don't think we didn't get to everything. Probably not! No no I had to... Biden versus the... no screw Biden. This is kind of interesting ESG investments suck. I'll listen to that The goal of ESG is not better financial performance it is to force compliance to one view The House Ways and Means Committee on Tuesday investigating retirement plans being invested into ESG funds. ESG stands for Environmental, Social and Governance. In the past pension managers had to aim for maximum profit over everything else

3:17:33 However, in 2022 the Biden administration changed the rules saying they may consider climate change and other environmental social and governance factors in selecting retirement investments. Numbers now show such investments do bring less returns. They could have had 11 1⁄2 percent return but they've only had a 4 1⁄2 percent. Oh really? That's not keeping pace with inflation! This witness, Jason Isaac former Texas State Representative and Director of Life Powered says such investments do more damage besides hurting returns but it's still the hottest year in record so whatever you say we got to keep pouring money into all this stuff because it is good even if you lose money even if you lose money it's good you're doing it for the world companies investment people is good. Was there more to this

3:18:22 That's nothing more. Yeah, okay? Well you know what we're way over But it's because I love everybody that's why just because we love everybody We love you And we also love hog story we got them coming up next on no agenda stream and we got some end of show mixes which as You heard earlier. You should always listen to them after the sign off music yes You miss out on stuff if you just leave, you know. It's so sad when people do that We've got Pyramid King Ruben Sir Chris Wilson and Secret Agent Paul all in the end of show mixes And of course we will return on Sunday with another deconstruction Of what is going on in the media What's happening in your world With our usual humorous banter
