About this episode

Pro-Palestine activists paralyzed the San Francisco Bay Bridge during the APEC summit, abandoning approximately 50 vehicles and throwing keys into the water to obstruct law enforcement. The demonstration coincided with a high-stakes meeting between President Joe Biden and Xi Jinping, where the leaders reached tentative agreements on military communications and fentanyl precursor crackdowns. While the city underwent a massive cleanup for visiting dignitaries, the summit was overshadowed by domestic unrest and a viral TikTok campaign reviving Osama bin Laden’s 2002 Letter to America.

In the Middle East, a standoff at Al-Shifa Hospital continues as the IDF claims Hamas obstructed a 300-liter fuel delivery intended for newborn incubators. Meanwhile, the European Parliament heard testimony from Irish MEPs Claire Daly and Mick Wallace regarding civilian casualties in Gaza. Domestically, the Republican primary landscape shifted as Nikki Haley proposed mandatory social media verification to combat foreign bots, while Mark Esper labeled Donald Trump a threat to democracy on CBS News. In the medical sector, Yale University settled a landmark mental health lawsuit, and Novo Nordisk released a study claiming semaglutide reduces heart attack risks by 20 percent.

Barbra Streisand told Stephen Colbert she would move to England if the 2024 election goes poorly, a recurring promise from the singer. Comedian Jimmy Dore revisited the historical meeting between Adolf Hitler and the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem to deconstruct modern political narratives. Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak analyze the absurdity of media laughter and the rise of the Value for Value model in an era of increasing digital regulation.

San Francisco Bay Bridge Protests, Pro-Palestine Activists

Protesters shut down the San Francisco Bay Bridge, leading to multiple arrests by local law enforcement. KTVU coverage highlighted activists, many wearing masks and keffiyehs, who blocked traffic with approximately 50 vehicles. In a notable escalation, some protesters reportedly threw their car keys into the water to prevent the vehicles from being easily moved by authorities.

00:00 And now you change it! And from Northern Silicon Valley where the protesters have shut down the San Francisco Bay Bridge, I'm John C. DuBois. Oh, and all the networks are covering. And Channel I have to say KTVU kudos to them they have the best covers They got a woman on the bridge with where they're arresting all the protesters and she's there with her camera crew and she keeps then they had this cordoned off and She keeps breaking through the cordon to ask people what do they think? What are they protesting

01:05 Oh, they're just protesting our support of Israel. Oh well beautiful! Beautiful... I have to describe these people Yes please. Let me guess Go ahead I can already guess that they're pretty much the same as the Black Lives Matter people LGBTQ queers for Palestine except they have kivviyas on them They have the scarves A few of them do have the scarves, but half of them are masked up. Which makes it even funnier! I'm sorry... So here they are on the bridge, the windy bridge and it's like probably the most ventilated place in the world and there they are masked up And I would say its about at least half of the trans queers for Palestine people

01:54 And there's about a third black and some other ethnics in there, but they're masked up. Now here's the question because I've been tracking this at this moment as of this past week every single protest every single one is organized by a political party every single one and really only one political party but that'll be obvious are there any professional signs in the group? Yeah, all the signs are professional but most of it's just a big banner that they were using and they busted them up pretty quickly. But then fortunately what they've done is they drove a bunch of I don't know maybe 50 cars under the bridge blocked all the lanes and

02:35 in their wise, futuristic vision of the world. They threw their car keys into the water... Oh goodness gracious! No way? Their own way with their own car keys?! Yeah So they're cars are now stuck on the bridge and they can't move Well no, there pulling them off one by one and we've got most of them off now And this started I think at eight in the morning It's still blocked The bridge is still closed And it's actually quite humorous If you're not on the bridge. Yeah, if you don't have to get into work... Well then let me jump into this for a second I've been doing a bit of research looking at the signs there was a lot going on in DC and when you're protesting in Washington D.C., it's always politically motivated but it was just so much bizarre stuff It kind of like makes your

Washington D.C. Protests, Anti-Zionist Hasidic Jews

Demonstrations in Washington D.C. featured a confrontation between pro-Zionist and anti-Zionist Jewish groups. Hasidic Jews participated in the anti-Israel protests, a group historically known for being outliers within Israel due to their refusal to perform IDF military service. The presence of police was required to maintain a barrier between the opposing factions.

washington dc· hasidic jews· anti-zionist· idf· zionism

03:33 You know your brain just fries over and over again with which people are saying what I mean we had Two groups of Jews the pro and anti-zionist Yelling at each other And yeah, anyway so it was Jews versus Jews But you had the Hasidic Jews You know, the ones with the curly Q's and the strings. And the hats...and they're all anti-Israel which is like whoa I didn't expect that! Just listen a little bit to the language that they are using against each other literally with the cops in the middle. I

04:24 These are the Hasidic dudes with their megaphone over my face. They need a little lesson in protesting. You know, there's Hasidic Jews who were welcomed into Israel being Jewish and have settled there as well Nobody's ever liked them, but they've settled there and refused to do IDF service and refuse to do this or refuse to do that. They've always been outliers in the country itself are really fringe group that is I don't know how they

Rabbis for Ceasefire, Answer Coalition Organization

A group known as Rabbis for Ceasefire held a demonstration at the U.S. Capitol demanding a negotiated release of hostages and an immediate de-escalation in Gaza. The organizers criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for using the Torah to justify military violence. Investigation into the group's professional signage reveals ties to the Answer Coalition, an anti-war movement founded shortly after the September 11 attacks.

05:02 I'm sure the Israeli Jews, normal ones are beside themselves with these people. Well let's go back to the...this was in front of the Capitol there was the Jews for ceasefire also known as rabbis for ceasefire interestingly now every single one of these videos always has a shot of a professional sign which also has the URL of who has organized this particular this particular demonstration. This was a peaceful one, this is rabbis for ceasefire and all the rabbis are female rabbis! Our demands are a ceasefire now de-escalation now and the full negotiated release of all hostages now Prime Minister Netanyahu only looks to Torah it feels like to justify violence and to justify his own racist and blatantly sadistic intentions as a rabbi it's very upsetting

06:00 If they're watching, I want them to know that I and many other people care about you. You are important. Your lives matter and we have not forgotten you. Every life is precious and every death is a tragedy Israeli and Palestinian So that must be a controversial group, I would say to have female rabbis. And they all have those cute little mini hats on? You know what I mean? It's like with an elastic band it's a very teeny little mini hat! I know it's probably not a hat but looks like it

06:40 So they hold up a sign and that comes by on this report, and it's the Answer Coalition. It's not a yarmulke is it? No no no! It's like a little top hat. A little hat... Oh I know what you mean yeah, looks like a little bitty mini-hat. That's exactly what it is. Mini Hat. I'm sure I will be corrected about the mini hat assertion so the sign says that this is rabbis for ceasefire Jews for ceasefire by The Answer Coalition ANSWER is a World's Workers Party. Well, so I go in answer coalition founded just three days after September 11th 2001 attacks. ANSWER which is an acronym for Act Now to Stop War and End Racism initiated the massive US anti-war movement opposing the US invasion of Iraq in the months prior to March 19 2003

CHAPTER 04 / 54 Discussion

Progress Unity Fund, Peace and Freedom Party

The Answer Coalition is financially supported by the Progress Unity Fund, a San Francisco-based organization run by Susan Meisenberg. Meisenberg is also a leader in the Peace and Freedom Party, which explicitly identifies with socialism and features Karl Marx on its website. Critics argue that these Marxist and socialist organizations are leveraging emotional public responses to the Middle East conflict for domestic political recruitment.

progress unity fund· susan meisenberg· peace and freedom party· karl marx· socialism

07:30 But Answer Coalition is not its own 501c3. If you donate to them, in fact you are donating to the Progress Unity Fund which you should know because the Progress Unity Fund is... Its headquarters is in San Francisco It is the goal of the Progress Unity Fund to promote unity through diversity of peoples, respect for their histories cultures and experiences. With this respect a sense of solidarity and community can be fostered between peoples." And this is run by Susan Meisenberg who writes many articles for Liberation News just a couple of headlines

08:17 Santa Clara Hyatt Regency workers fight to unionize. Janitor take on high-tech firms, ACLU charges San Jose company with aiding and abetting torture so she's pretty politically involved in fact she is the head honcho of the Peace and Freedom Party and if you go to peaceandfreedom.us right there in the home page a picture of Karl Marx And the Peace and Freedom Party is committed to socialism, democracy ecology feminism and racial equality. We represent the working class those without capital in a capitalist society this is a political organization and all they want just like every other socialist organization nay Marxist organization all they want is for you to vote out anyone who's not a socialist

09:12 And I think most people who are jumping into this don't even realize how they're being abused for political means by these socialists and Marxists of the world. In the United Kingdom, here's SocialistWorkers.org They've given a green light to an extremist Israeli government to commit genocide in Gaza and extend their cruel policies in the West Bank. We're humans, we're all the same but the fact that some people are considered not on the same level as other people what kind of world are we going towards? I don't want to be known for that so i'm here today

CHAPTER 05 / 54 Discussion

European Parliament, Irish Socialists Claire Daly and Mick Wallace

Irish MEPs Claire Daly and Mick Wallace hosted a press event in the European Parliament featuring Palestinians living in Belgium. One speaker reported the loss of 55 family members due to Israeli military operations in the Jabalia camp. The event aimed to pressure the European Union into calling for an immediate ceasefire by highlighting the humanitarian toll on children and civilians in Gaza.

european parliament· claire daly· mick wallace· belgium· gaza

09:54 Every single MP in this country who doesn't vote for a ceasefire needs to be regarded as completely unacceptable from now on. These are people that we need to organise against, to make sure they don't hold these kind of offices again They're going to be on the wrong side of history and They will make sure that their children or grandchildren, that they have in the future will know what their grandparents did. That they were part of something that was horrendous. We haven't been doing anything so only stand in here to the man and cease fires at least like we can do and hopefully they can hear our voices and do something about it I can't wait to see what our MPs say then about what they did for Palestine if they protested for Palestine And what they did when Palestine was under apartheid

10:47 So, people's emotions are being played upon. It is being done by political party and the European Parliament is of course not immune to this we have our favorite Irish socialists Claire Daly and that Wallace fellow with the wild grey hair, they took a page out of the Best Play book. Let's throw some children in there! We have some Palestinians living in Belgium who have lost incredible numbers of their families back home in Palestine And we're going to listen to their words today. I have a question for the EU How many Palestinians need to die for the EU To call for ceasefire? Until a few days ago, I had lost 52

11:37 52 family members. Every day that number grows and now it's already at least 55. Yesterday, the Israeli occupation forces committed a massacre in Jabalia camp near my family's house and I can't know anything about them. I came today and I don't know anything about them." I fall asleep thinking about those images, there is no food there is no water. My mom said to me we wish to die because she can see my brothers hungry and she can make anything for them.

12:14 Stop the war against Gaza. It's enough with killing children, enough with killing innocent children. It really is such a difficult moment that we have people here who have to expose their personal grief to share the memories of their loved ones who are no more. You all know what it's like to lose one family member maybe in a natural death but have your entire family wiped out in a genocidal assault while the civilized world stands by in silence! There you go, way to use some children get some nine-year olds on that stage...you know what?

12:53 Let's go back to the UK. Let's let's have the Sun who apparently now do video reports? Let's have them up it up a little bit, but let's let's make this against the Hamas guys We got a counterbalance this bring in the incubators good morning from Jerusalem This is day 38 of Israel's war with Hamas on a morning where there are serious concerns for 36 newborn babies born inside the Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City. The Al-Shifa is Gaza's largest hospital, but at the moment it is not functioning because it has no power and without power they cannot operate the generators, the generators therefore cannot operate the incubators which are providing life saving oxygen to these very very small babies

CHAPTER 06 / 54 Discussion

Al-Shifa Hospital, Hamas Fuel Obstruction Claims

Reports from Jerusalem indicate a dire situation at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, where 36 newborn babies are at risk due to a lack of power for incubators. The Israeli Defense Force claimed they attempted to deliver 300 liters of fuel to the facility for emergency generators. However, the IDF alleges that Hamas prevented hospital staff from collecting the fuel, leading to a standoff over the life-saving energy supply.

It really is such a difficult moment that we have people here who have to expose their personal grief to share the memories of their loved ones who are no more. You all know what it's like to lose one family member maybe in a natural death but have your entire family wiped out in a genocidal assault while the civilized world stands by in silence!

13:39 The Israeli defence force have described the situation as dire. They agreed, having spoken to the hospital that they would leave 300 litres of fuel at an agreed drop-off point but in a devastating twist Hamas has blocked doctors from the hospital, from collecting that fuel so they can then start providing the electricity and energy that they desperately need to keep these babies alive. For the time being they are being swaddled in a cardiac room but time is of the essence and it is certainly running out." An excellent twist on an original very nice way to switcheroo there like good rewrite! It's a great rewrite now

CHAPTER 07 / 54 Discussion

French National Assembly, Hamas Atrocity Footage Screening

The France-Israel Friendship Group, led by Mathieu Lefebvre of President Macron’s Renaissance movement, organized a screening of 43 minutes of footage from the October 7 Hamas attacks for French MPs. The screening aimed to combat conspiracy theories and document the brutality of the event. While right-wing MPs called for the extermination of Hamas, far-left representatives condemned the attacks but maintained criticism of Israel's subsequent bombardment of Gaza.

france· national assembly· mathieu lefebvre· emmanuel macron· hamas

14:25 Of course we have to do something in France because we got way too many Muslims there. You know the French, we know that they hate the Jews so Israel needs to go in and we need to show them our new faces of death video yes The 43 minutes that was shown to the world press in Israel is now being shown to politicians Some MPs left this screening in tears, struggling to cope with the 43 minutes of footage showing killings of children and women by Hamas terrorists on October 7th. The screening was organized by the France-Israel Friendship Group in one of the rooms at the National Assembly. They say they want to show the truth and that they also wanted to prevent this spread

15:11 conspiracy theories. The president of this France-Israel friendship group is Mathieu Lefebvre, member of President Macron's Renaissance movement Let's take a listen to him after the screening It was extremely difficult I'm sorry our hearts are heavy after the screening it's an attack on our humanity all of humanity that we witnessed in that screening room I think it was very difficult but very necessary in the face of those who would try to relativize what happened as well as the risk or forgetting what happened. MPs all shocked by what they saw, but they don't all agree on how France should act and deal with this ongoing war in the Middle East far right

15:58 and right-wing MPs we spoke to said that Hamas terrorists were simply barbarians who needed to be exterminated. Barbarian? That means they fully support the way Israel is currently conducting its military operations on the other hand, we spoke to a far left MP who condemned the Hamas attack was shocked by the brutality of what they saw, but who said that at the same time Israel cannot continue acting the way it is killing civilians in the Gaza Strip with its bombardments. So before I take a breath, one more clip here because the problem now is for the mainstream media they all have to pick a side you've got to pick your side and you've got to pick it very very carefully And by the way notice how The New York Times will say this many Israelis died but this many Palestinians were killed You know its all these very subtle things that are taking place How do we choose our words? Because

Washington D.C. Grassroots Protests, Media Prosecution Threats

A protest group in Washington D.C. issued public threats against members of Congress and mainstream media outlets, comparing modern journalists to Joseph Goebbels. The speakers claimed they intend to prosecute media organizations in criminal courts for allegedly mobilizing genocide. Unlike other organized events, this group appeared to be a more aggressive, grassroots faction characterized by handmade "Genocide Joe" signage.

washington dc· mainstream media· joseph goebbels· nuremberg· zionism

16:58 It's about to get ugly. This is another group in DC, I believe this to be a true grassroots organization the lady with the megaphone was speaking Arabic there's a lot of aloakbars going on and listen to what they say about politicians and in particular the mainstream media. Peace and glory to the martyrs and freedom fighters who fight for our freedom! And there is nothing higher nor more glorious than a martyr. And so we say glory to all the martyrs wherever they may be! Allah hu Akbar! And the truth is, The Western world is alive To the members of Congress letting them know that they will be prosecuted in criminal courts all over the world

18:01 The days of just speaking have ended and we remind the mainstream media that Joseph Goebbels, the genocide propagandist was to face trial at Nuremberg before he shed himself. And we intend to prosecute every media outlet that has mobilized our genocide. We will dismantle every institution of Zionist violence in the world from New York So yes, M5M. Those kids who you encouraged? They're going to turn on you What makes you think that was grassroots? That woman sounded like a pro Uh what I mean is...I don't think that was in my mind not necessarily there were no professional signs this was the handmade genocide joke crowd

18:56 which is still the same people. But this, let me put it this way... It's not a socialist party who was running this one. It's a different party and I think that's the scariest one because i don't know! I don't know who this lady was absolute pro but there's uh This was a vicious group out for blood Out for blood I'm telling you Genocide Joe signs handmade I like the genocide Joe says, i would love to get a hold of one of those. But there's no official printed ones that's the thing! There are no officially printed genocide Joes. Yeah yeah I've been in couple protests and there'll be a sign maker nearby guy

CHAPTER 09 / 54 Discussion

TikTok Viral Campaign, Osama bin Laden Letter to America

A coordinated viral campaign on TikTok featured numerous influencers reacting to Osama bin Laden’s 2002 "Letter to America." The Guardian removed the transcript from its website after the letter began trending among young users who claimed it provided a new perspective on U.S. foreign policy. Analysts describe the trend as a professionally orchestrated propaganda effort designed to create an existential crisis among Western youth regarding their government's actions.

tiktok· osama bin laden· the guardian· letter to america· psyop

19:36 or a girl doing these signs. They have the same hand, they're not a printed sign I agree but that doesn't mean it's not organized. I looked all over and could not find any political party that was connected to this particular group This group is a little freaky Have you followed the TikTok psyop though? No, the ticket... everyone's complaining about it. Have you heard about it? The letter from... the letter to America? Which one? Ah! So the story goes like this

20:15 Osama bin Laden... Oh yes, I know. I'm very familiar with this now it's all been taken down! Osama bin Laden wrote a letter to the American people which was published in 2009 and we're supposed to believe this of course Which as far as we're concerned Osama bin Laden died way before them It's a handwritten scribbled note And this is being you and the Guardian had published it, and they took it down. Oh everybody took it down there was also here and it was here and it was there and it was there and it was here and it was here. Here's my favorite I'm looking at this one tweet about this

20:55 And it's zero and then take it down, taking down, taking out, taking down. But luckily I saved a copy here and you click on that is gone. This is bull crap. But the the psyop on Tik Tok is super viral and it all comes to me even if you read it, it's just like OK whatever it does end with Continue the war if you will. Justice is the strongest army, security is the best way of life but it slipped out of your grasp the day you made the Jews victorious in occupying our land and killing our brothers in Palestine! The path to security is for you to lift your oppression from us." So let's just say right off the bat that you and I do not believe this is anything remotely real

21:44 Without even asking me you're making assumptions. You assume my pronoun I sure do zem sir But this is a professionally orchestrated viral campaign and it's pretty much all BLM LGBTQ women and they have a script and Stop me when you've heard enough Wait, wait, there's wait wait. I want to say this There's always two sides to this. There are the people who put this together and the suckers who fell for it. So I'm just pointing a finger at a number of people... I am going to tell you that they're all falling for it!

22:31 I mean, this is so well done. And listen to the script when you hear the script you'll be like okay this is working This is class act top form propaganda. This morning I read Letter To America which is Osama Bin Laden's letter to America explaining why he attacked Americans and...I am ashamed to say that not only have never read this letter, but I didn't even know this letter existed. It's wild and everyone should read it if you haven't read it yet, read it! However be forewarned that this has left me very disillusioned and I feel the same exact way I felt when I was deconstructing Christianity

23:18 a little bit just confused like I have entered into another timeline what is this? Uh-huh. And yeah so go read it! Who is this?! These are these are these are you know filtered good looking young women but all, we've seen them these are the ones who were in protest. But they're nobody...this is just a nobody of some sort Yeah, right. I mean it's not a brand name no no none of these are brand name No These are as these have been cast these these actors have been cast and listen to the script over and over again And yeah so go read it So I just read A Letter To America and... I will never look at life the same. I will never look at

24:02 Wow very already a second Within two of these is no obvious at the solid and so you asked me when I wanted to cut it off Under some circumstance I should say now because it's obvious what's going on, but I want to hear four of these this country the same. I will never Please Read it and if you have read it let me know if you are also going through an existential crisis in this very moment Because in the last 20 minutes my entire viewpoint on the entire life I have believed And I have lived

24:38 has changed, please read that entire letter. I need everyone to stop what they're doing right now and go read it's literally two pages go read a letter to America and please come back here and just let me know what you think this is consistent come back and tell me what you think that's what they all say come back and tell me what you think go read it now stop what you're doing come back until which you think like I'm going through like an existential crisis right now a lot of people are so I just need someone else be feeling this too i need you to stop what you're doing and go read a letter to america it is literally the craziest thing I've read in awhile. And while I can't say that I'm that surprised, I am pretty shocked so go read it and tell me what you think because I really also need to talk to other people about this So this is fucking insane! I just read Osama Bin Laden's letter to America which I will be going through right here but It's actually SO

25:30 mind fucking to me that terrorism has been sold as this idea to the American people and honestly just so many Western inhabitants within certain nations. That this group of people, this random group of people just suddenly wakes up one day and just fucking hates you, just wants you dead once you gone. And this is all because they believe that they're better than like that is the root of terrorism it doesn't make sense I just hate your fucking nation but reading this letter It becomes apparent The actions of 9-11 and those acts committed against the USA and its people were all just a buildup of our government failing other nations in majority of these situations. And this letter was insanely eye opening, I really urge everybody to Google it and read it because I thought that... Okay okay you can stop now

26:17 Every single couple of by the way a couple of things is overnight sensation of the letter itself is of course a joke, but But there is there any remembrance of these terrorists going back in time a little bit It makes it sound like you just started yesterday. Do they remember from the 60's The Jackal? Or the Lockerbie shoot-down of the Pan American World Airlines jumbo jet that put the company out of airline hijacks that made them drive the planes to Cuba. Does anybody remember any of that? No, no this all started last night! Yes yes it's insane I'm living through an existential crisis right now This is very slick, this is very slick This is well done and they're all gonna fall for it And good luck politicians good luck to you Well here's a couple things come to mind

CHAPTER 10 / 54 Discussion

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Palestine Policy Backlash

A local organizer for the Robert F. Kennedy Jr. campaign in San Francisco publicly resigned and turned against the candidate following his appearance on Chris Cuomo's show. Kennedy defended Israel, arguing it is the only democracy in the region and rejecting the "apartheid state" label as anti-Semitic. The former supporter cited Kennedy's stance on Palestine and his views on mandatory vaccinations as reasons for the split.

robert f. kennedy jr· chris cuomo· israel· apartheid· anti-semitism

27:15 First of all, I want to go back to the earlier clips you played before we got to this tangent which was about the ceasefire complaints and the protests. Where is the asking for the ceasefire in the Ukraine war? What's wrong with you? I'm just asking where's the protests about the Ukraine war nothing. How about the Houthis and the Tutsi, how about Yemen? There is no Jew hate involved that's the deal well because now it is Jew hate because Zelensky has literally gotten rid of the Jews Yeah, and he's supposedly Jewish. With the Azov Brigade? Of course! So just how insane this has gotten... And this is the word of the day It's insane man! That's what somebody wrote in telling us to look for it I haven't heard it Well you just heard it from me You know that somehow I got on the San Francisco grassroots campaign mailing list for Robert Kennedy Jr

28:17 Oh good. And you know, so I'm getting stuff all the time and it's like you know we're gonna have a Zoom call! Is the frequency too high? No it's about one a week That's not bad. No, not bad at all and you know I've never responded but at one point they're even saying hey Curry and this other person calling out a couple people on the list join us we haven't heard from them like me I'm being quiet over here so now i get in email from from the local grassroots Kennedy campaign and it's in caps yeah the one the same one San Francisco just said that when I say I was just about to do it no no no it's another same one

28:56 I am not absurd. He is calling us absurd if we know the other story after spending $1,000 of my own money and countless hours on this campaign. The truth I heard about six months ago has come out in an ugly way. I have known for 30 years about the conditions of Palestine. It's a created state that made us in Britain that forced vaccinated their population for big pharma. I will actively work against Mr Kennedy and no longer support him! And it has a link. I'm sorry, but let me... Now you misinterpreted what you just said. I thought this letter came from the Kennedy campaign? This woman has turned!

29:37 But so the Kennedy, okay. So the Kennedy campaign woman that was running it was the Kennedy campaign there was a person in charge and maybe or maybe not affiliated with Kennedy and out of the blue she after she's got her mailing list built up yes she turned on Kennedy yeah and it's because of his appearance on The Cuomo Kid Show And she links to the video which I shall play a clip of so you can hear what outraged her so much. I mean, I think that there's just a tsunami of misinformation and kind of moral bankruptcy that we're seeing on the college campuses about this issue and you know the idea that Israel is a apartheid state because it's a Jewish state

30:27 Israel is the only nation in the region that does not have an official religion. All the other surrounding nations are Muslim, and there's 40 nations in the world 42 that have official religions There is not an Israel. Israel is a free nation, it's democracy. Palestinians in Israel can vote they can hold political office even the Prime Minister and the President of Israel if they win that vote They hold positions on the judiciary every court including the Supreme Court They serve in the Knesset A couple years ago a Palestinian judge, an Arab judge

31:08 convicted the Prime Minister of Israel for corruption. Israel has freedom for, in Gaza you get the death penalty for selling land to a Jew there are no Jews in Gaza oh you know look at this double standard that is being now applied to Israel's behavior compared to all the countries around it There's no other country that is a democracy in the region. If you're a Palestinian and you want to criticize your government, you better do it in Israel because if you do it in the West Bank, if you do it in Gaza, if you do it in Jordan, if you do it in Syria, if you do it in Lebanon... You're going either have your throat slit or go to jail and be tortured

32:00 Oh, you know the freedom that people have is calling Israel an apartheid state. is such a an absurd twist and perverted twist. And ultimately, you know if you're applying a double standard it reflects some bias and you'd have to call that bias anti-Semitism." This is such an upheaval for the political landscape It's phenomenal what's happening people are walking... Go ahead Up, up, up. A total op but people are running away! And I'm going to say that what you're witnessing with that...I'm glad she got on that emailing list Yes That is part of the OP

CHAPTER 11 / 54 Discussion

Candace Owens and Ben Shapiro, Middle East Feud

Media personalities Candace Owens and Ben Shapiro engaged in a public dispute on X regarding their differing views on the Israel-Hamas war. Owens appeared on Tucker Carlson's program to discuss the friction, which some observers characterize as a "show business feud" driven by narcissism. The conflict has highlighted divisions within the conservative media sphere, involving other figures like Jordan Peterson and Tim Pool.

candace owens· ben shapiro· tucker carlson· daily wire· x

32:42 The part of the op is being outraged that it's Kennedy being so damn reasonable. It's part of an op! And you know what I love on Twitter right now, and this funny because we were just talking about Candace Owens about her being really too smart for this dumb organization well now she and Ben Shapiro have successfully made the Middle East conflict about themselves This is fantastic oh I better go on Tucker and talk about me Me me me me quoting Bible scripture at each other on X. I was very... that, that, I watched that of course and I didn't get any clips from it because for one thing Candace is, she's, I don't know how much coffee she's drinking for a pregnant woman but she just her speed talking is all up there with Shapiro now yeah well that's milieu. It's the milieu. And so she's going on about one thing or another he Tucker can get a word in edgewise

33:41 But Roger Roundy, one of our great artists of the United States who's in the social he's going on about how what a great interview this is. It's not even an interview No it's just letting someone go off Yeah about how great she is And I think that this feud is bullcrap If it's not one of those phony baloney feuds, show business feuds you know where people get into a fake feud. It is totally a show business feud and she has been picking fights with Megyn Kelly and it's about them this is narcissism! Narcissism!! I'm you know I am little sick of the usual suspects and that includes Tucker, it includes her

34:20 It now includes Jordan Peterson. Hold on, there's more! It includes Crowder. Uh-huh? It includes Tim Poole. Yeah. And I would have to... Rogan is...I think he's an unwitting member of this clique. But they're all in it. They all promote each other, it's like a little blowjob log rolling thing. I hadn't heard about a log roll in a long time but a blow job log roll that is a new one! We should make that a... Well, we know in the media it's generally referred to as a blowjob. This is just the term and nothing to do with the sexual act but it's called a blow job when you write up somebody in a very, oh this guy's the best! Yeah well there's one more we can add to the mix of choosing sides to save his hides Jimmy Dore now he's in a... Is he Jewish? I think probably Jewish isn't

CHAPTER 12 / 54 Discussion

Jimmy Dore, Netanyahu and the Grand Mufti

Comedian Jimmy Dore revisited a controversial 2015 claim by Benjamin Netanyahu regarding the origins of the Holocaust. Netanyahu had suggested that the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al-Husseini, convinced Adolf Hitler to exterminate the Jews rather than just expel them. While Netanyahu later clarified that Hitler was responsible for the Final Solution, historical records confirm the Mufti met with Hitler in 1941 and supported Nazi efforts.

jimmy dore· benjamin netanyahu· adolf hitler· haj amin al-husseini· holocaust

35:20 Maybe he's not Jewish. I look him up well, he has the two live Jew crew because his Jewish probably as his Jewish friends So he does a very interesting thing and it caught my attention because I really didn't know much about The grand mufti during the Second World War who was the Grand Mufti of Palestine. Yeah, he's the guy who was calling the shots at that time Well... So he pulls out a clip from Netanyahu from eight years ago doesn't really say it was really, really old and in fact Netanyahu sounds the same. And here's how he rolled it out on his show and discussed it with his two live Jew crew. Here is the video I was talking about listen to what Benjamin Netanyahu had to say about Hitler and the Arabs and the Jews. Hitler didn't want to exterminate the Jews at that time He said Hitler didn't wanna exterminate the Jews at that time Yeah blame him yeah we blamed it on the Arabs Oh wow Wow

36:21 Hitler didn't want to exterminate the Jews at the time, he wanted to expel the Jews. And Khadzhimim al-Husseini went to him and said, if you expel them they'll all come here. So what should I do with them? He asked. He said burn them! Peace. So let me bring in my two live Jew crew that i have on today uh what do you have to say that is that that's kind of a head snapper right it takes a lot to shock me at this point i'm actually stumped Because, yes, Netanyahu is a fascist. But if there was a third rail or presumed third rail in Jewish politics it would be in any way to soften the rough edges of Adolf frickin' Hitler. So I go... First of all, I've never really learned much about the Grand Mufti. Yes?

37:18 Jimmy Dore's a Catholic. Yes, yes, the troll room told me that yes and the Grand Mufti was the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem not Palestine now so I go back and right away find a report from eight years ago i-24 is the station and here's a little deeper analysis of what Netanyahu said and what he then retracted, and more about this Haj Amin al-Husseini. Israel's prime minister like we said created a firestorm yesterday by suggesting that former Jerusalem Mufti Haj Amin al-Husseini and not Hitler was responsible for the murder of six million Jews during the Holocaust Netanyahu has since backtracked saying that he did not absolve the Nazi regime of its crimes I24 news correspondent Ayman Siksic has story

38:07 The baby absolves Hitler for the Holocaust, so reads the title of the lead story on The Daily Beast today following the Israeli Prime Minister's controversial comment. Hitler didn't want to exterminate Jews at that time he wanted to expel them Netanyahu said it was the former Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al-Husseini who encouraged Nazi dictator to kill Europe's Jews. And Haj Amin al-Husseini went to Hitler and said if you expel them they'll all come here so what should I do with them? Yes he said burn them

38:43 Reactions were quick to come in from all parties involved. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said that Netanyahu's comments exonerate Hitler while blaming the Mufti for genocide and accuse the Israeli leader of fabricating history, and the German government also denounced Netanyahu statement assuming full responsibility for the Jewish Holocaust But did the Israeli Prime Minister get his facts wrong? Not quite In November 1941, the Mufti met with Adolf Hitler in Germany. Hitler told Al-Husseini that the Nazi regime supported the Palestinian cause and rejected the idea of a Jewish national home Whether al Hussein directly asked for the extermination of Europe's Jews is unknown But just four years later in 1945 Yugoslavia sought to indict the Mufti as a war criminal

39:37 criminal for his role in recruiting 20,000 Muslim volunteers for the SS who participated in the killing of Jews in Croatia and Hungary. But the Mufti fled to Cairo and later to Beirut and passed away in 1974 So this Graham Mufti wasn't without fault. I think he did verbatim say that he had his support for the final solution, but this was all fleshed out eight years ago and this was a world-renowned event that took place and it's kind of crappy that Jimmy Dore feels he has to do this

CHAPTER 13 / 54 Discussion

Listener Criticism, Zionism vs Humans Claim

A listener identified as Dr. John Allen sent a critical email accusing the program of failing to show outrage over "Zio-terrorism." The email claimed the global conflict is a binary struggle of "Zionists versus humans," dating back to the Ottoman Empire. The hosts used the message to illustrate how individuals become "spun up" over distant geopolitical issues while ignoring domestic problems like homelessness.

zionism· john allen· media deconstruction· ottoman empire· listener feedback

40:18 Based upon I guess his audience look our audience is running away because we won't take a side. We're not we don't like war Here's the latest the latest email we do news deconstruction here's dr.. John Allen I'm glad i never contributed to your podcast after your lack of outrage over zio terrorism. Keep begging from those producer morons for your donations!

40:54 I know that you think people are taking sides, but it is time! It has always been Zionists versus humans. Dr John Allen. What? Zionists versus humans?! That's right yes that's right. Is that what he put? Zionists versus humans? Yeah, zionists versus humans. It's always been zionists versus humans even during the Ottoman Empire It's always been Zionists versus humans. It's politics, it's evil... No it is very corrupting and yes and everybody... It's really a shame somebody has to get themselves as you like to put it I think it's a great term all spun up over something that's pretty much on the other side of the globe. It's big globe! And meanwhile we have people sleeping on our streets who've been told they'll be great here

CHAPTER 14 / 54 Discussion

San Francisco APEC Summit, Homeless Relocation

In preparation for the APEC summit, San Francisco officials, including Governor Gavin Newsom and Mayor London Breed, cleared homeless encampments from the downtown area. Critics noted the sudden efficiency of the cleanup, suggesting the city prioritized its image for visiting world leaders over long-term solutions. Reports surfaced that some homeless individuals were offered bus tickets to Los Angeles or other jurisdictions to keep the summit area clear.

san francisco· gavin newsom· london breed· apec· homelessness

41:44 And then they get to the cities that said, yeah we welcome you and they're like I'm sleeping in the cold. Get out of my...get off my lawn! It's.... We don't even know what happened to the homeless in San Francisco Yeah that would be cool to know because it's just..I mean you know it was so fascinating to hear What's his face? Your mayor, your governor. Mayor... Governor The governor is Newsom the mayor Yeah, governor London breed No the governor to say yeah we just cleaned him up I know folks say oh they're just cleaning up this place because all those fancy leaders are coming into town That's true Because it's true It's true But its also true for months and months and months prior to APEC We've been having different conversations

42:34 It's true. That's what you mean? Yeah, we've had different conversations and it's true So we talked about whether we should just exterminate um or we hope maybe they'll just die of fentanyl overdoses on their own And then they had that's one of the conversations the other was hellalicious bus them out of town I think they bust him to LA it wouldn't be how about this your homeless yeah And somebody comes up and says, you know we have to clean up the city. We have to clean up the city because...we just have to clean up the city. We're offering you a bus ticket and let me show you the weather it's gonna be storming rain oh it's gonna be terrible by the way hasn't rained at all. It was all the whole week's gonna rain rain rain global climate change

43:23 We'll send you down to where it's warmer in Los Angeles. It's beautiful programs for you, there are all kinds of things you can do. Free pipes. Street bum fights the whole thing in LA and LA is much more hospitable than we are and right now you have gonna have to go someplace so you want the bus ticket or not? I, they probably gave him first class airfare. I'm not even sure it was a bus ticket. Uh yeah well maybe but they somehow got him out of town the bottom line is from from the public intellectuals to the alternative media to political parties this whole thing is being abused

44:04 And with it, abusing Israelis, Palestinians, white people, brown people, children, incubator babies. Abusing all of it for their own selfish means. And commuters! Poor hapless commuter... They just want to It's a beautiful thing. This is the thing that's being used! What happened to LGBTQ genocide? That genocide is gone. What happened to the Black Lives Matter genocide, oh that genocide is gone. What happened to the genocide of Ukraine, oh that one's gone. I mean it's so bad with...

CHAPTER 15 / 54 Discussion

Ukraine Ammunition Shortage, EU Defense Production

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned that Russian forces are suffering heavy losses in Avdiivka but noted that Ukraine is facing a critical ammunition shortage. The European Union admitted it may miss its target of supplying one million artillery shells by March 2024. EU defense ministers stated that the industry requires signed contracts and payments before production can be scaled to meet Ukraine's demands.

ukraine· volodymyr zelenskyy· european union· avdiivka· artillery shells

44:49 with Ukraine that, listen to this, Zelensky is begging for more ammo. He's begging for ammo and then listen to what the European Union is now responsible for the ammo but it's very telling what they say in this short report Russia is already losing soldiers and equipment in Avdiivka faster and on a larger scale than in Bakhmut Withstanding their pressure is extremely difficult The more Russian forces are destroyed in Erevdivka, the worse the overall situation will be for the enemy. For the rest of

45:36 at a meeting in Brussels, but warned that the bloc could miss its goal of supplying Ukraine with 1 million artillery shells by next March. It doesn't mean that we already have one million shots ready by March so maybe we will not have one million by March But it will depend on how quickly the orders come to the industry and how quickly the industry reacts. So that's the EU defence minister literally saying, hey man we don't have any orders yet! The defense industry needs orders you know like invoices signed payments made if you don't pay us we don't care about you Zelensky because no one wants to fund it anymore they're tired of it no one wants a pony up

CHAPTER 16 / 54 Discussion

Dnieper River Beachhead, Ukraine Crimea Strategy

Ukrainian officials claimed to have established a critical beachhead on the eastern bank of the Dnieper River near Kherson. This maneuver is intended to outflank Russian forces and create a path toward retaking Crimea. While Russian officials acknowledged the river crossing, they insisted the Ukrainian troops were taking heavy casualties, leading to conflicting reports on the success of the operation.

ukraine· dnieper river· kherson· crimea· military strategy

46:23 Yeah, but there's still we still have this and this need to get rid of spent uranium Well, yeah, there's always something but he's just saying hey we need two orders orders. We need orders now orders now Orders I have one Ukraine report might as well play sure This is interesting because the Ukraine has now claimed that they're making inroads on retaking... this is just like an eye roller. They're not doing any, what about the Donbass or any of these? No no no! They are going after Crimea which is really as far as I can- Again really?! Which is off limits Yeah, but let's hear it. In Ukraine officials in Kiev now say Ukrainian forces have established a critical beachhead in a bid to retake Russian-held Crimea They report troops have crossed the Dnieper River near Kherson and gained a foothold from there They could outflank Russian forces to the east

47:17 The frontline is fairly fluid as of today, and we cannot discuss every single measure our defense forces are undertaking. But the fact is obvious that these measures push the enemy back for now We will not give more details so that our plan can start working which would allow us to report later on great successes Russian officials acknowledged Ukrainians have crossed the river but insisted they're taking heavy casualties It's getting so bad with this, the lies that are just falling apart before our very eyes. Ceasefire! Yes... That the International... What is their name again? The International Coalition of Investigative Journalists Do you remember this outfit? Probably not I probably not Well they're supported by

CHAPTER 17 / 54 Discussion

Hubert Seipel, Kremlin Funding Allegations

The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) alleged that prominent German journalist Hubert Seipel received 600,000 euros from a company linked to Russian oligarch Alexei Mordashev. The payments were reportedly part of a sponsorship deal for Seipel's books about Vladimir Putin. Seipel's publisher has since stopped selling his work, and the ARD broadcaster is investigating the lack of transparency regarding these financial ties.

48:14 Adesium Foundation, Arnold Ventures Bay and Paul Foundations, Bertha Foundation, CAF American Donor Fund Creative Europe the Fred foundation The Golden Globe Foundation the John and Florence Newman Foundation the Open Society foundations National Endowment for Democracy They now are funding or they have always been funding this group And they're going after journalists And there's the German Seymour Hersh. Um, and he's just won...

48:49 And they're going after him now and they're gonna go after a lot more journalists because you know, they are not funded by National Endowment for Democracy or Open Society. A leading German journalist is facing allegations of being in the pay of the Kremlin according to new revelations by The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists. Seipel has long been regarded in Germany as an independent expert on Russia Nina what more can you tell us about Hubert Zypel and the allegations he's facing. Well, Hubert Zypel is very well known here in Germany as an influential voice has won awards for his reporting has been introduced to talk shows as the German journalist with a best access to Vladimir Putin has had sit-down interviews with him etc but there is an investigative group of journalists called Cyprus Confidential who are currently looking into big batches documents that they've got

49:46 where there is evidence that Russian oligarchs are trying to take influence on influential European voices here and they have found documents that prove for a book that Zypel wrote about Putin he received two payments from a company linked to Alexei Mordashev. That's of course an oligarch who is very close with Putin, since Russia's invasion of Ukraine he's on the EU sanctions list so Zypel got 200,000 euros and then another 400,000 euros as part of a sponsorship deal for the book. And what's very tricky here is that the publisher says they had not been aware of such a deal and they have now stopped selling Seipel's book. Seipel argues there was no influence by third parties regarding the content

50:32 book but he's also produced films for public broadcaster ARD and ARD also say that they were not aware of any such sponsorship deals so Zypel has seriously undermined his own journalistic credibility and this is probably not the last case that we're going to be seeing because these investigative journalists are continuing digging. Yes okay I have a couple comments here First of all, these pre-sale deals with publishers is not uncommon but in fact it's how you sell a lot of books. It's how you get on the list! How do we feel like publishing your book or we don't see any market for it? Is what the publisher will say and then you come back with well we've already presold and you can even name or not name doesn't usually tell who it is this

51:21 This guy has already contributed $200,000 whatever the amount is to buy this many copies of the book. So you have pre-sales immediate pre sales that means the publisher will go ahead and publish the book because they can it'll pay out very common practice I've seen it happened in America everywhere. It happens all the time My favorite, just to go into a small tale. Oh we love small tales but it might be long. I met MIT with Hearst Corporation. You gotta give up when I was at MIT you gotta do it right! I was at MIT with the Hearst corporation and going through the media lab and because I was with them as a fly on the wall

CHAPTER 18 / 54 Discussion

MIT Media Lab, Stewart Brand Book Deal Anecdote

A personal anecdote describes a visit to the MIT Media Lab with Will Hearst, where Nicholas Negroponte discussed a book deal with Stewart Brand. MIT had reportedly pre-purchased 50,000 copies of the book to secure its publication, a common industry practice. The story concludes with the narrator being removed from the meeting by Marvin Minsky after being identified as an un-vetted observer.

You gotta give up when I was at MIT you gotta do it right! I was at MIT with the Hearst corporation and going through the media lab and because I was with them as a fly on the wall

52:05 sign any NDAs, which everyone else all the journalists had to sign all these NDAs. You can't talk about anything. But I didn't have to... People you're going fast. You were with Hirsch, the Hurst? That was Will Hurst. He brought me along At MIT and you're just hanging out and your witnessing what's going on Yes, I'm watching and going through the Media Lab. I got a good tour and so we go up there and at the end Negroponte is talking about how they have done a deal with Stewart Brand to do a Media Lab book and you can look it up on Amazon. You'll see it in Media Lab or The Future's Invented or someplace, the name of it. He said, We've already bought 50 thousand copies

52:51 as an advance. That was how the book was sold! It was, MIT had purchased 50 thousand copies of the book before the book was even in print. Russian spy! And they were bragging about how they got to handle on this and handle that it's gonna be great publicity and of course purpose of the meetings were trying to gouge their cheap purse corporation out of some money for The Media Lab and a guy who was the CEO at that time Frank Benick He wasn't going, he was listening hard but he wasn't going for any of it. And but they were pitching as hard as they could and it was quite interesting to be there and I was there for most of the meeting until one moment where Marvin Minsky...I believe I've told this part of this story before. Marvin Minsky walks in and sees me and you know who's who am

53:46 And he gets all upset and they roused both Hurst and myself, we got kicked out. It was too late! Yeah so but it's so interesting to see that these journalists who know how these deals work because they're journalists They're probably just jealous that they don't have a book deal where someone pre-buys it. But, you know, he's funded by someone linked to that guy and they're linked to everybody! You know, journalists? Goodbye. And by the way if you have a problem with somebody as a journalist outright them find out what they're saying is wrong and write about it that's the way you normally do it you don't out the guy with a bunch of innuendo and smears kind of operation is that well when your funded by those big groups in your at the cocktail parties now its very uh... it's very enticing

San Francisco APEC Fireworks, Chinese Influence

During the APEC summit in San Francisco, a massive 15-minute fireworks display was held, which observers noted was significantly more elaborate than the city's standard Fourth of July celebrations. The city streets were lined with Chinese flags for the arrival of President Xi Jinping. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and other officials were seen engaging in high-level meetings as the city underwent a temporary transformation for the summit.

san francisco· apec· xi jinping· janet yellen· fireworks

54:46 Like, oh, sure they're gonna try to do this to Hirsch. They're going to do it to everybody anybody who's not on board with the message is going to get it that's just that's just the new way if you're a politician and are not on board then you're gonna get it If your journalist and your not onboard then you're going to get it The only thing left standing is podcasts If you want to call it standing, personally I'm sitting. I know your stand all that's left all this left Yeah That's gonna be there eventually they're gonna find a way to get the podcast too But no we get back to San Francisco and do a couple clips. They have a bina Biden China clip Yes This was an interesting meeting i'm glad i've expected you to come through because it is your Your front yard almost

55:37 You're looking out the window as we speak and you can see it taking place. And I will mention this, last night they decided to show off a fireworks display specifically for these Asian group and knowing that the Asians have fireworks displays...I've been in Asia when they've seen them. They are dynamite! Literally dynamite! that this is the best fireworks display I've seen on the bay for ever. It had shells I've never seen before and it was like, it was only 15 minutes long but it was like 15 minutes of pure finale! It was at least six shells going off every...for every second of the 15 minutes. Nice

56:24 Meanwhile, when they do our Fourth of July fireworks it's poof there is one. Poof there is another! It's pathetic by comparison but oh we have some Asians in the audience and Chinese communists... And the streets are by the way lined with Chinese communist flags. Yeah I saw that one American flag. One little American flag And what is Janet Yellen doing meeting? Meeting the she she's on the time I have my idea a little twerp little nerd little elf. She's an elf I think she isn't call it no, she might be a troll

CHAPTER 20 / 54 Discussion

Biden and Xi Jinping Summit, Military Communications

President Joe Biden met with Chinese President Xi Jinping in San Francisco to stabilize the bilateral relationship. The leaders reached agreements on military-to-military communication and a crackdown on Chinese chemicals used to manufacture fentanyl. A point of confusion arose during the summit regarding Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin's counterpart, as the Chinese defense minister position was currently vacant at the time of the announcement.

joe biden· xi jinping· fentanyl· lloyd austin· military communication

57:04 She looks kind of like one. Yeah, she does I mean hate to rag on someone's appearance by the way after the whole meeting was over you got this I'm gonna play the end first which is Biden yacking away with the...this is Biden literally and he says this in his speech which I think it's a great idea for a show title okay literally woke up dead By the way uh you know I won't I guess I shouldn't identify where it occurred but John, I know two people near where I live. Their kids literally as that's a strange experience they woke up dead somebody inserted in whether the young man did or not and certain in a drug he was taking fentanyl Literally woke up dead That's that ladies and gentlemen phone finger number one America that's your guy right there

57:59 That's your guy. So here we go with the report, this is Biden China SF1 Today in San Francisco President Biden met face to face with Chinese president Xi Jinping for the first time in a year The two leaders are announcing agreements on military communication and a crackdown on the Chinese chemicals used to make the lethal drug fentanyl But as Nick Schifrin reports from the summit site The goal was less about breakthroughs and more about stabilizing a troubled relationship Today, in a handshake... It's been great honor. ...and a four-hour summit the leaders of the world's largest economies most advanced militaries and most consequential competition said they wanted their relationship to be stable. It is paramount that you and I understand each other clearly leader to leader with no misconceptions or miscommunication we have to ensure that competition does not veer into conflict

58:56 I'm still of the view that major country competition is not to the pervading trend of current times and cannot solve the problems facing China and United States or the world at large. The two sides are agreeing to what a senior US official called a comprehensive set of military communications Secretary Defense Lloyd Austin with his Chinese counterpart, a job currently empty The top U.S Indo-Pacific military commander with his counterpart Do you hear what he said? Yes, point it out. He said Lloyd Austin was his counterpart yes Which is currently empty?

59:38 Yes, yes. He does not have a counterpart What does that mean? I'm gonna be meeting with my counterpart although there's nobody there it's just an empty room There's uh...I guess the desk I'll be talking to myself I got a hand puppet what is he talking-what is this mean? He's taught-he's with his counterpart and there is no counterpart So they're talking to a deputy I guess Nobody says anything about... No! No, he was talking to nobody. Well then that sounds about right for his position I guess the point is that they agree that we'll call each other before we send up a balloon. Yeah, it was a big deal. Fentanyl and balloons! That's what they discussed? You're right you summarized the whole thing. Here's part two... But US-China divisions remain most notably over Taiwan Taipei confirmed for the first time this week The U.S. was helping Taiwan train to defend the island

CHAPTER 21 / 54 Discussion

China Economic Dissatisfaction, Foreign Investment Outflow

International investors are increasingly withdrawing capital from China due to concerns over economic management and the targeting of Western firms. The real estate sector, exemplified by the Evergrande crisis, remains a significant drag on the economy, representing 25% of China's GDP. Analysts suggest Xi Jinping's "charm offensive" at the APEC summit was a response to these internal economic pressures and a need for continued U.S. consumer sales.

china· evergrande· foreign direct investment· xi jinping· taiwan

1:00:35 Beijing considers Taipei a breakaway province and has increased its military intimidation. Today, President Biden is warning China not to interfere with Taiwan's January presidential election. Beijing labels the frontrunner William Lai as separatist But senior US officials hope Beijing's aggression toward Taiwan could be quote inhibited by internal problems. Rare protests in 2021 and the offices of the real estate developer Evergrande revealed deep dissatisfaction with the Chinese economy today, more foreign direct investment is flowing out of the country than coming in It's a sign international investors are concerned by Beijing's economic management, targeting of Western firms and their employees and rising labor costs says lawyer John Remig who specializes in international business. A few years ago everyone believed that to be competitive you had to have a presence in China Today I haven't had anyone come to me honestly for three years asking could you help make an investment into China

1:01:38 That's actually a completely valid point. I mean, here is this scary Xi the dictator as our president called him later basically coming here saying hey man don't pull away bro let's pretend we'll do all that Taiwan jiggy jaggy ooh Taiwan okra but he's coming hat in hand Yes, there was a lot of people that interpreted this as hat in hand. There's absolutely no reason he should have come at all No why would he? And he's met with every jamoke already! He already met Gavin Newsom He had an old date with Gavin. Yeah, he had a Gavin date! I mean come on this is like... This is the big scary guy why don't we you know why didn't Biden go hey you dictator and punch him right in the face? Because it's bullcrap It's bullcrap We need China to sell us stuff And they need our dollars That's-it's a system Everybody knows this

1:02:40 Oh, and at least it cleaned up San Francisco. Yeah It's alarming actually suppose go to part three is a shorty U.S. officials believe that trend has helped lead to a Chinese charm offensive ahead of the summit, including in recent English-language article and state run Xinhua featuring Xi Jinping's decade old interest in quote friendship with America. She is expected to take that message to American CEOs tonight he will tell them China is still a good investment Man, it's really amazing to me. All the narrative about China just falls apart What is Xi really afraid of? Is he afraid of Putin? I mean... No, I think he's afraid of his own people Yes! That's exactly right This is a management nightmare Now the Chinese have been adept at it almost historically They're really talented

1:03:35 at managing hordes of people, which makes them somewhat dangerous. But it makes them very dangerous in industrial settings because they like Foxconn they can manage 100,000 people on an assembly line kind of or not all making Apple phones So here's the last clip in this group. pains

CHAPTER 22 / 54 Discussion

Mark Esper, Biden Dictator Comment Analysis

Former Secretary of Defense Mark Esper appeared on CBS News to discuss the Biden-Xi summit. Esper characterized Biden's off-the-cuff remark calling Xi Jinping a "dictator" as a truthful but diplomatically complicated statement. He emphasized that while communication is vital, the U.S. must "verify" China's actions, as the Chinese government has a history of failing to keep international commitments.

mark esper· joe biden· xi jinping· dictator· cbs news

1:04:28 focus in the Chinese system on the leader, on Xi Jinping. But Xi especially has consolidated control U.S officials believe that he really is making his own judgment and that makes this kind of high level diplomacy today this kind of summit all the more important and all the more reminiscent frankly of early Cold War diplomacy between United States and Soviet Union. He changed the subject right in the middle of that. He did, he did and ended in a farce. He's answering the question about does she see anything? And then goes on about how he is a dictator! Alright I have a report here from CBS which is always fun because it's CBS morning you know when we get Gale you know its going to be high level and they brought in Mark Esper wasn't he our defense secretary at one point Yes he was one of them yeah and I think he's a spook

1:05:19 Yesterday, just outside San Francisco President Biden sat down with China's Xi Jinping for their first face to face meeting in a year's time. The two leaders pledged to ease tensions between the two countries and President Biden says they made important progress with agreements to combat the fentanyl crisis and also reestablish communication between the two countries armed forces that's a biggie joining us now is former Secretary of Defense Mark Esper who served in the Trump administration Mr. Secretary thank you very much for being here former paratrooper uh... for west point grad over given his honorifics there in addition to being uh... secretary of defense you know this stuff i was so he knows it's tough enough and i think that the other side of a second off yeah this is cbs having to give the guy some

1:06:05 Bonafides because they mentioned Trump. Yeah, yeah he knows his stuff! He was with Trump but he knows his stuff! But besides that... Good catch. So don't ignore it. I'm rewinding so we can hear that. Forces, that's a biggie joining us now is former Secretary of Defense Mark Esper who served in the Trump administration Mr. Secretary thank you very much for being here former paratrooper West Point grad in addition to being Secretary of Defense, you know this stuff. I was gonna say so he knows his stuff. You know your stuff. Even though you're Trump, you know your stuff. What takeaways from this meeting and how damaging if you can put it in context was this dictator comment that President Biden said off the cuff near the end of things? Look, I think overall- Look! It's good that they're meeting the world's two biggest most powerful countries meeting is a good thing that we talk right

1:06:59 One guy's a wuss and the other guy is brain dead. Wow, what a top meeting that was! And the two agreements they're touting coming out of it is an agreement to have the militaries talk frequently which is important When I was Secretary of Defense I tried to meet with my counterpart at least every three months to talk keep lines of communication open build a report if you will so when times get tough You could open up that line and talk Hey man we got a balloon Yeah, you're balloon. Hey man I'm just calling to check on the bloom things The other one is the fentanyl agreement which is right because fentanyls killing a thousand Americans here being but she's She should ping made that same agreement to President Obama and he said made that same agreement to President Trump yeah Right so I think right

1:07:40 President made two things, two statements were important. One he did truthfully candidly say that Xi Jinping is a dictator which he is right? He controls the authoritarian state but secondly we're basically not going to trust them We gotta verify what they do because China rarely keeps a promise Keeps a commitment You think that'll put a halt on the progress? Those slanty eyed liars No, because China needs us right now more than we need them. Why? Because their economy is in the pits right? They need US investment... We don't know that! He's no he said this is what are you drinking? Now I heard you know we had some people send us some new stuff but not just I'm finishing off the polar another polar Okay, all right But we are Chinese oops sorry because their economy isn't a pits right they need U.S. Investment They need U.S. Consumer sales and purchase yeah, they do forth and so on

1:08:31 They have a real estate sector that's in crisis and that represents 25% of their GDP. They got some social unrest going on, China is not in a good state of affairs and Xi Jinping is rightfully concerned I think they all go together just to say how are we going to manage this crash that is coming when the entire system collapses upon itself We're gonna blame you a little bit And you can blame us a little bit And yeah I'll call you a dictator You call me a douche Whatever...I don't think there was anything else they did discuss And he said and by the way, I'm gonna get it going now. I'm gonna call you dictator But we are Chinese officials reacting to the dictator comment saying it's extremely wrong and irresponsible Sort of I don't want to say negate the goodwill that we made yesterday but doesn't that put a little bit of Tainted just a little bit sure it does That's right, but well they're cleaning up on aisle six

1:09:19 to Taiwan has important elections coming up in two months, in January. There's going to be a change of power and China is very...is watching this very closely Yeah okay It's a script! It's a script and they all had hookers on blow and blew off some fireworks

CHAPTER 23 / 54 Discussion

Mark Esper, Trump Threat to Democracy Claim

During his CBS interview, Mark Esper expressed concern about the possibility of a second Donald Trump administration. Esper labeled Trump a "threat to democracy," citing the former president's rhetoric regarding retribution against political enemies. He argued that Trump might weaponize government institutions to target opponents, a prospect he described as troubling for the future of the American republic.

mark esper· donald trump· white house· democracy· retribution

1:09:57 This was staged bullcrap. They probably had a lot of hookers. That's staged bullcrap, uh they did bring up Trump with Esper briefly. Mr Secretary you seem to have survived the Trump administration there are no mugshots of you that I've seen. Wow! Did he get it? He got out alive! He did! Mr Secretary you seem to have survived the Trump administration there are no mugshots of you that i've seen on the news Are you concerned about him possibly getting back into the White House? Absolutely. I've said on several occasions he's a threat to democracy. No! He is a threat to democracy

1:10:35 He's a threat to democracy. From him the last few months and certainly the last couple weeks is it's going to be about retribution, it's gonna about using- weaponizing the institutions of our government too. This is a script! Of course it is why else do you think he's on? But wait a minute this is yet another example of Trumps poor judgment in hiring this guy as a douchebag Well, he's an insider. He's a spook remember he's on CIA broadcast systems in the morning it's casual It's cavalier they said it's really and I you know so be able to use was a Trump guy with some men is Trump guy But he sees the real deal these I'm good guy but you know that Trump is danger to democracy from him the last few months and certainly last couple weeks his

1:11:21 It's going to be about retribution. It's going to be about weaponizing the institutions of our government, too, to go after his political enemies and I just really... Unlike what is happening to him? Okay! Troubles me it concerns me that a president might go after his political opponents. It concerns me but you know let's go after it. Troubles me, it concerns me what this may mean for our great republic in our country Mark we appreciate your joining us. Thank you for letting your knowledge be in the transparency. What could possibly mean for a great republic? Well yeah but do you know who else is back on the scene with the Trump hate where they're rerunning scripts all over the place

CHAPTER 24 / 54 Discussion

Barbra Streisand, Stephen Colbert Interview

Singer Barbra Streisand appeared on Stephen Colbert's show to praise President Joe Biden's compassion and leadership. During the segment, Streisand repeated her long-standing claim that she would leave the United States—potentially moving to England—if Donald Trump were re-elected. The hosts noted that Streisand has made similar threats during previous Republican administrations, including that of George W. Bush.

barbra streisand· stephen colbert· joe biden· donald trump· england

1:12:01 Colbert had Barbara Streisand on the show. Oh, is she gonna leave the country again? I like Biden. I think he's done a good job. I think he's compassionate He supports the right things How do you feel about the specter of a second Trump administration? I will move I can't live in this country if that's If he became president, where would you go? Where would you go probably to England? Yeah I like England. Yeah, it will welcome you with open arms How many times has she said this over the year she was gonna do it with George Bush if George W Bush had gotten reelected She was gonna leave the country

1:12:47 Yeah, no it's just all signs. And what is the need? Well I mean you don't bring a guest on to do this but you could say well you said this before! No he's not gonna do that now he went straight into how about anti-semitism yeah connect that to Trump. Yeah you want to make put him close even though Trump's daughter is a... Oh yeah you know what's interesting I've received a lot of different emails and correctly so about fentanyl, since that was on the docket with Xi to talk about fentanyl. And the main thing that people are pointing out to me is that it is a farce

CHAPTER 25 / 54 Discussion

Fentanyl Passive Exposure, Police Overdose Myths

Medical experts are debunking the myth that individuals can overdose on fentanyl through passive skin contact or casual inhalation. A viral video of a Florida police officer appearing to overdose was analyzed by doctors from Rutgers Medical School, who concluded she likely suffered a panic attack rather than an opioid reaction. Toxicology experts emphasize that it is safe for first responders to assist overdose victims without fear of accidental exposure.

fentanyl· narcan· florida· rutgers medical school· panic attack

1:13:33 that you can overdose from touching fentanyl, from handling fentanyl, from casually inhaling some fentanyl that's dusted around you and that this is a... So kind of following on with the how dangerous it is and its going to... It was all about that car that got confiscated. and then sold on auction. Well, there's a couple of things going on there was a case in this I have a clip here is Florida cop female cop they stopped somebody who are I guess had fentanyl or was on fentanyl and then all of a sudden she ODs on fentanyl

1:14:14 But it wasn't an OD on fentanyl and they brought in two doctors to say, no no this is... she just had a panic attack. They revived her with Narcan from the panic attack but they are very specific to point out that this whole idea of just one whiff or one touch I'm not trying to say fentanyl's great obviously But we have to be realistic because we need the truth. literally wrote the studies about this drug and its effects. They insist even after watching this video, it wasn't an overdose."There's just no practical way in an outdoor environment that could happen." Dr. Lewis Nelson of Rutgers Medical School co-published a prominent study saying passive fentanyl exposure is nearly impossible meaning you simply can't overdose by coming in contact with it he says a small dose wiped from his sleeve or inhaled wouldn't cause

1:15:21 an overdose. You've seen TV where they put out a line or that you, you know, you got to have a good amount to get in your body it's not gonna get a little powder on your hands and put in your nose dude you're not going to get sick from that toxicology experts use the body camera video released by Tavares Police Department to support their analysis while medical emergency is indeed happening, they say it's not consistent with that of an overdose. Officer Benik spoke with Fox 35 believing the Narcan is what saved her life. Narcan only works to reverse opiate overdoses. It does not work to get you out of anxiety attack. While both doctors say it was a good idea to use Narcan while assessing the situation they don't believe as what brought her back. Both

1:16:04 Both doctors believe Officer Bannick was having a reaction to what happened. They just don't think it was an overdose because it seems so real And I think these are all legitimate concerns. I don't think anybody's trying to pull a fast one here, I think these people really believe they're exposed because this is what they've been told happens. Now the doctors hope that this can be a teaching moment for many including law enforcement about fentanyl They want people to know it's safe to passively come in contact with fentanyl and jump into help someone who is overdosing Yeah yeah now you should bring this up

1:16:41 Although I haven't done my research on it. It makes nothing but sense that this is the power of suggestion Yes, yes and these people have been hypnotized well It's important because we're being psyoped at this very moment that terrorists are going to you know drop fentanyl in America It was gonna kill hundreds of thousands of people in cities You know this not necessarily true So it's a it's a fear tactic that you just doesn't have a basis in science science I don't want to change topics because i want to go back to what you're doing but, I want to play two clips which are kind of related to this idea of this power of suggestion. Okay and one is the second clip that really gets my attention but this about loneliness we've talked about yes! Yes the loneliness...I have thoughts about this wait a minute what's in it? What's name your report here these are Yale this has do with

CHAPTER 26 / 54 Discussion

Yale University, Student Mental Health Settlement

Yale University settled a lawsuit following the 2021 suicide of student Rachel Shaw Rosenbaum. The agreement requires the university to allow students more flexibility to take lighter course loads and maintain their health insurance while on medical leave. Previously, students who withdrew for mental health reasons lost access to campus resources, a policy that alumni and students argued discriminated against those in crisis.

yale university· suicide· mental health· health insurance· lawsuit

1:17:40 this is suicide in Yale. Oh, groovy it's I see it. Elitist Voices of America This is NPR or PBS Higher education is facing a student mental health crisis that's the focus tonight of our series Rethinking College and our reporting on early warnings America's youth mental health crisis We start with Yale University, which earlier this year settled a lawsuit following the death of a student by suicide in 2021. According to the agreement, the university will now allow students more flexibility to take lighter course loads and keep their health care while on medical leave. Yale agreed to the policy after a group of alumni and students sued the school arguing that policies discriminated against students with mental health issues Willow Sylvester is a Yale graduate who was part of that lawsuit She explained what things were like before the settlement

1:18:40 When I started at Yale, I had to stop seeing my therapist and I felt super isolated. Fast forward to my senior year, I was a first-year counselor. I was working directly with first year students and almost every single one reported these same feelings of feeling isolated on campus. Mental Health Justice at Yale was founded in the immediate aftermath of Rachel Shaw Rosenbaum's passing by suicide. She was a first year student The resources that she lacked and the policies that made her feel like she didn't have the help that she needed were very, very clear. She had spoken publicly about feeling this need to move down to a part-time course load and if she could just move down to part time courses, she would be able to get on top of her mental health but that was not an option at Yale. Another thing which was also related to why Rachel wanted to go part time is maintaining access to Yale's health insurance when you're on leave or withdrawal

1:19:35 If she had gone home and taken a leave for her mental health, she would lose access to her Yale Health resources and also her Yale Mental Health resources while she was home. Wow! And she knew that she needed those. Both of those as the result of the settlement are now something that students can do so students on leave maintain access to their Yale Health insurance and students can go down to a part-time course load We absolutely should not have had to lose a life to get these changes rolling. Mental health resources is the best name for antidepressants I've ever heard! Mental health resources... She would lose her access to mental health resources

CHAPTER 27 / 54 Discussion

University Suicide Prevention, Power of Suggestion

A discussion on university mental health policies explored whether faculty should be trained to identify suicidal ideation in students. While some administrators worry that talking about suicide might encourage it, psychiatrists argue there is no evidence that asking patients about self-harm implants the idea. Critics of this approach suggest that constant focus on mental health "experiences" may inadvertently use the power of suggestion on vulnerable youth.

suicide prevention· mental health· psychiatry· university faculty· power of suggestion

1:21:04 So the part two is the part that interests me in so far as what we talked about. So what more can universities and colleges do to address the academic pressure, the loneliness that students are feeling? Is this a structural thing that colleges have to address? There's definitely structural points to it. We talk about how is mental health included in everything we're working on in college campuses right so things like leave policies if someone's really struggling how do we make sure when they leave they feel comfortable asking for help that they feel comfortable coming back on campus That's really important. There is mental health in everything that we're doing, but it also how do students feel comfortable talking to faculty to begin with? To know that those faculty feel comfortable even talking to those students because I see faculty too and they don't. They haven't had training in mental health. They are not psychiatrists and their often the first people who come to students and their supposed to support them through their mental health experiences as coaches, as faculty members, as administrators

1:22:03 support to be able to do that too. So how do we make it easier for faculty to talk to students, for students to feel comfortable talking to faculty? For them to notice stuff so they get seen earlier so then they come to me and they can talk to each other earlier too." We've heard how students say they want more transparency school administrators obviously have to abide by health privacy and confidentiality laws there might be concerns about reputational damage to the colleges and universities Some administrators have a concern that the more they talk about suicide, that might in some ways encourage or lead to more deaths by suicide.

1:22:38 How should university and college leaders, how often should they talk about this? And how should they talk about it. So there's no evidence that the more we talk about things and the more we ask about things, the worse it is so as a psychiatrist were encouraged to always ask our patients about suicide It doesn't mean that we're going to make patients then think about it We don't implant those ideas In fact, we support people by asking about those things Well she pulled the Dvorak right there with the no evidence That was fishy So it goes like this. So have you ever thought about suicide? No, but now that you mention it... It's bullcrap! This is the power of suggestion. It's a mental health experience

CHAPTER 28 / 54 Discussion

Antidepressants and Weight Gain, Food Noise Concept

A listener shared a personal account of how psychiatric medications, specifically SSRIs, cause "food noise"—a persistent anxiety-related hunger that leads to overeating. This side effect is described as a panicky need to kill the sensation of hunger, regardless of whether the food is sugary. This phenomenon suggests that the pharmaceutical industry is now marketing weight-loss drugs like Ozempic to the same population already taking antidepressants.

ssris· antidepressants· ozempic· food noise· obesity

1:23:18 That's just what she said. Well, this fold... Okay this is very important and we do have a mental health crisis in the United States because of the advertisement of SSRIs, of antidepressants I know hey lot of you are on them and i'm not condemning you in any way But I got an interesting note from one of our producers, and that's in regards to Ozempic, Wigovi, Deathbound and all the others. And it relates to this... We have heard many times that people who are on antidepressants—I'm just going to say SSRIs but you know i think it's all under the same basic family—that these make you gain weight

1:24:05 And I always thought that these anti... because the antidepressants supposedly also make you lose libido, which is great because then we can prescribe ED drugs. Even for women though, for women especially they lose their libido But the weight gain, I never really realized what it was. And one of our producers wrote in and said you know yes we have an obesity epidemic but it's not just sugar addiction. Listen to this... Because this comes back to our topic food noise. I thought food noise was just people who are addicted to sugar, No! This comes from the psychiatric medication our producer writes for the last five years have been taking psychiatric medication unfortunately he didn't mention which one that causes weight gain as a side effect

1:24:59 The main point is for me the hunger is not related to sugar as Adam suggested. I don't want a chocolate bar any more than I want it chicken or a bowl of rice The best way, I can describe this sensation as a sort of anxiety relating to hunger This is the food noise if I'm even though even a little hungry I get very tense and panicky and feel in need to kill that sensation as quickly as possible In turn, that causes some fear that I don't even want to get a little bit hungry so I want to eat even more. So i'm not hungry in between eating! Are you with me on this? This is really messed up

1:25:42 As another consequence, when I do eat, I tend to overeat for that same fear. I strongly want to kill the hunger sensation so I better eat two pieces of toast rather than one and maybe a small bowl of cereal as well just to be safe! And at mealtime the drive to kill the hunger sensation and avoid having it pop up in the future causes me to eat larger portions as well As I said, it doesn't need to be anything sugary whatsoever. This particular medication has worked beautifully for my severe depression and it's really changed my life for the better. I don't want to stop taking but I also don't want to add another medication to offset the food noise so I had this wrong! This food noise is caused by the antidepressants which to me as a defective product you can call that... You call that a side effect? I call it a defective product but now luckily

GLP-1 Drug Rebates, Insurance Coverage Tactics

Pharmaceutical companies are using complex rebate structures to force insurance companies to cover weight-loss drugs. By rebranding diabetes medications like Mounjaro as Zepbound for weight loss, manufacturers can leverage portfolio requirements. If an insurer wants the rebate for the diabetes version, they are often pressured to also cover the more expensive weight-loss version, turning the obesity epidemic into a high-stakes financial game.

glp-1· ozempic· wegovy· zepbound· insurance rebates

1:26:34 And now I'm understanding the marketing of the food noise. They're marketing Wigovi and Ozempic to people who are already on antidepressants! That's what's going on here. That's a big market and the price yes And the problem they're having is the insurance companies don't want to jump on board yet So I know it's $1,000 of pop another producer writes in Any he's in the field? It's he says it's about the rebates Currently, employers are mostly not covering weight loss GLP-1 drugs. That's Ozempic, Wigovi etc., but they are forced to cover the same drug for diabetes, Ozempic by creating the separate branding remember we have Monjaro rebranding as ZepBound

1:27:23 Now we should have rebranded it Killamonjaro, but that's whatever. They will start to leverage rebates to force the coverage for the diabetes version of the drugs Ozempic Monjaro Zep Bound they will offer a nominal rebate to the insurance company say just $200 for example Because the insurers are resistant to cover the weight loss version of the drugs They will start to leverage portfolio requirements To say if you cover we'll go vz bound in addition to ozempic manjaro will increase your rebate to $400 for both products So this is this is a money game that they're playing and now and now and now they've added another

1:28:01 another dimension and luckily we have the study to show, the study comes from the very pharmaceutical company that makes the drug. That this does more than just help you with your weight gain thanks to SSRIs and antidepressants. Let's get to this first one, cardiovascular disease what is the studies showing? So two big medical headlines we're following Robin the first one using the drug semaglutide in a study funded by The Drug Maker We've known for some time that that drug is cardio protective reduces the risk of cardiovascular events in people with diabetes take a look at what this study did they studied people without diabetes who

Semaglutide Heart Health Study, Novo Nordisk Funding

A clinical trial funded by Novo Nordisk found that the drug semaglutide (Wegovy) reduced the risk of heart attacks and strokes by 20% in obese adults without diabetes. The study suggests the drug may have cardio-protective effects beyond simple weight loss, such as reducing inflammation and platelet clumping. Critics point out that the 20% reduction is a relative figure (from 8% to 6.5% in the study group) and note the potential bias in manufacturer-funded research.

1:27:23 Now we should have rebranded it Killamonjaro, but that's whatever.

1:28:41 were known to have a diagnosis of cardiovascular disease and who were already also diagnosed with overweight or obesity, and found an associated 20% reduced risk of fatal heart attack non-fatal heart attack and non-fatal stroke. So those are significant findings. Now is this just about weight loss? Or there other theories involved here? There are other theories! And that's what really interesting about this drug... It's not just because you're fat and you're dying from obesity. No, there are interesting little things, little tidbits we've learned from this study from the people who make the drug. The more it studied, the more we're finding possible other theories and data has shown in lab animals that semaglutide can reduce inflammation. Some mini med school here it can promote what's called plasma

1:29:24 stability in those arteries making the plaque less likely to break off and close off that artery. And then it almost works like a blood thinner in some lab animals, in terms of reducing platelet clumping so that when you combine that with weight loss significant cardio protective effects. Can really have an impact Wow that's great and everybody had this story, everybody is on the take. Everybody has a story. Here is NBC. They are the blockbuster drugs helping millions lose weight now a new study finds evidence that drugs like Wigovy and Ozempic may not just help people lose weight but could also help their heart health. Heart Health! Liz Fultz has the details

1:30:05 As the weight loss drug revolution explodes nationwide, new research shows that medications may not only help patients shed pounds but also improve heart health. A recent clinical trial shows semaglutide, the active ingredient in popular weight loss drugs Wagovi and Ozempic could reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes by 20%. So highly significant Dr. Michael Linkoff is the lead author of the trial, which followed 17,000 obese adults 45 and older who had pre-existing cardiovascular disease but were not diabetic Of the participants 8% who received a placebo had a heart attack or stroke

1:30:52 compared to 6.5% who took Wigovi. Up until now, no one has shown in any... So that's their 20%. The difference? Yeah, 20% is from 8-6 and all the rest died from the COVID shot. Took Wigovi Now wait! Wait there's more, there's more. I gotta stop it Okay How does a survey like this even come into being This is a diabetic drug and then it became a weight loss drug, but they've given it to just randos who have heart. I have an idea Bill what can we do? Let's give this random crowd of people that have heart conditions... Rando fatties! No, it was rando fatties. Let's give them this and see what happens. Who's behind this idea? What was the thesis behind it because there's no evidence that this drug had anything to do with heart.

Weight Loss Drug Marketing, Manjaro Success Stories

The FDA recently approved Zepbound, a new version of the diabetes drug Mounjaro, specifically for weight loss. Media reports have featured success stories, such as a 30-year-old woman who lost 125 pounds on the medication. While the drugs show promise for reducing inflammation and heart disease risk, experts warn they are not intended for casual weight loss and carry unknown long-term risks, especially given their high monthly cost of $1,300.

mounjaro· zepbound· obesity· inflammation· heart disease

1:31:44 very rigged. Are they taking the same drug and trying it against people that have eczema or whatever it's called? Or there are people with flatulence. I mean, what are they testing this stuff on? Or COVID vaccination! By the way this sounds like a binary solution like you know you got blood clots but maybe if you take this thing here you'll live a little longer. The clot shot won't get ya'. This is all so cynical. It's drug upon drug upon drug upon drug and if isn't the food noise

1:32:21 You know, then up then it's to stop you from dying. Well let's continue. Until now no one has shown in any group of patients with overweight and obesity that the risk of cardiovascular events could be reduced The findings of the study funded by Novo Nordisk, the maker of Wagovi come as the FDA approves a new version of diabetes drug Menjaro for weight loss called Zepi New research shows the active ingredient in that drug, terzapatide may help type 2 diabetes patients reduce inflammation which may lower the risk of heart disease. My drug changed my life 30 year old listen to that. Listen to that they just drop this is a psychological operation and they're just dropping non sequitur. Manjaro saved my life! Obesity patients reduce inflammation which may lower the risk of heart disease. Manjaro changed my life Wow

1:33:11 30 year old Alexis Mitchell has been taking Menjaro for just over a year now and says she's lost 125 pounds. I don't want to wait until i have a heart attack, I don't want to wait until I have a stroke but despite the promise of these drugs all the side effects are not fully known this is not meant for the person who sort of wants to casually lose 5-10 pounds you know before a big event we don't actually think it's worth taking some of the risks some which are known some which are unknown And these drugs aren't cheap, as much as $1300 a month. Most health care plans don't cover them but experts say these findings could push insurance companies to do so Okay this is really the point of this marketing campaign and the agency said listen guys

He argued that the findings should push insurance companies to cover the drug for patients with high BMIs and pre-existing heart conditions. LaPook emphasized that the medication is now proven to be more than just a "cosmetic" treatment, though he acknowledged the study's lack of diversity and its funding by the drug manufacturer.

1:33:57 I think our best shot at really getting a change here in the insurance companies is probably to go to CBS. Because CBS has Gail, Gail knows Oprah. Wait watch, Oprah yeah so we should probably have them do the story and that will probably get some earned marketing or earned advertising space that will show, you know, that will really move the needle on the insurance companies covering this once you get the rebates set up. So let's get Dr. LePouc from CBS to do it. Okay? So okay good we got the buy I'll call this I'll call the station New research on the popular weight loss drug, Wegovy could change the way doctors treat patients with heart related problems. The study from Novo Nordisk, the drug maker behind Wegovy found it can reduce the risk of heart attack stroke or heart related death by 20%. CBS News chief medical correspondent Dr John LaPook joins us now at Yo Doc what's up? Yo doc! What's up? This is an important study okay It's more than 17 thousand people 41 countries

1:34:59 I want to emphasize that these are people who were overweight or obese, so BMI of 27 or above. And they had some underlying heart-related issue almost 70% that had a heart attack now 20 percent decrease in heart related issues like heart attack stroke or death from some heart related issue it's interesting how they can measure twenty percent didn't have a heart attack all the rest had a heart attack Seriously, maybe I'm hearing that wrong but it sounds like you know we had all these people at heart issues and these people didn't have a heart attack. It had some underlying heart related issue almost 70% that had a heart attack now 20 percent decrease in heart-related issues like heart attack stroke or death from some heart related issue That's really important So this is an important study I want to point out that I didn't like the amount And I think other people talked about

1:35:49 that there wasn't enough representation. It was mostly white males." Oh, it wasn't diverse! It wasn't diverse... Okay that's a disclaimer now let's get into it come on Doc. Okay so there's a lot of people that hear about these weight loss drugs and they want to lose five seven maybe ten pounds do you recommend that they go in this direction? No, and I'm really glad that you mentioned that okay. Yeah, I have a lot of because the agency wanted me to bring this up Do internal medicine in GI? I have a lot of patients who come to me say I want to lose that You know six or seven eight pounds That's not the group of people who've been studied We don't know if the long-term side effects in those people are even the effects of it in those people Okay so I think we have to you know have to say there is a shortage of this drug and these kind of drugs because I think A lot of sure

1:36:34 who are not, you know in the group that it's been recommended for. I think it's important to just follow. Yeah yeah okay well good please there is a shortage so get in early now! It works for you if you want lose six or seven pounds but don't do that don't don't don't do that So these weight loss drugs are getting really popular and they're so effective but are they too good to be true? And then what happens when someone stops taking the medicine, they might gain weight back. And then what happens to now their heart health if they were depending on that? So I love these questions right because it's big picture stuff and because the agency again asked me to talk about it we have to look at the big picture there really hasn't been a good intervention for people to lose weight and we know that that it's important for people to lose weight for all sorts of reasons

1:37:19 So this is a tool in our toolbox, but it's not the only one. We do have diet and we do have exercise and I think that's important But you know it is something that for the first time we have something That's effective but again you have to use it judiciously So what he didn't answer the question. He said you could know you could use diet or exercise, but it's a tool I mean why use a screwdriver if you've got this hammer Use the hammer use the hammer and then finally the money shot so this is not only a study of will go be but by Will go be in the sense of them drug maker conducted the research should that make his extra skeptical? And do you think insurance yeah, they're gonna look at this and think okay?

1:37:58 Ah, no way. This is the insurance company question here we go this is not only a study of will go be but by will go be in the sense of them drug maker conducted research should that make us extra skeptical and you think insurance companies are going to look at this and think okay well cover it now I think all I always looked at who funded the study or who ran the study and I think your right it was the drug company who funded it on my thing that is something that you want always looked And so you want to look down and say, okay let me look I've got the study here. I've read it about 10 times. Let's see if there is anything that doesn't quite make sense. Oh yes! I did my own research but uh... What was this? Will insurance get involved in covering this? Right now i am in battles all the time with insurance companies not paying for this medication or this group of medications and people who absolutely should be on it. People with BMI over 30 they have diabetes they have heart disease and they won't pay it

1:38:52 this is a big battle going on. What's interesting here is now they can't say, well it's just cosmetic. They're showing that it actually decreases the risk of heart attack or stroke or death for the people who need it. There's optimism. Alright insurance companies your move Dr. John LaPook thank you very much appreciate it literally the script says now tell them it's their move It's their move. It's not just cosmetic. That is a three-pronged attack aimed at the insurance companies on behalf of the drug company that has got lots of money and this is the reason why drug money should not be mixing with media

CHAPTER 33 / 54 Discussion

Microsoft as Intelligence Agency, 2024 Election Interference

Senator Mark Warner, head of the Senate Intelligence Committee, referenced a Microsoft report claiming that Russia, Iran, and China will interfere in the 2024 U.S. presidential election. The discussion highlighted Microsoft's evolving role as a de facto intelligence agency due to its access to global user data and zero-day exploits. Critics question why a private software corporation is now issuing official-sounding national security warnings alongside government agencies.

1:39:29 And with these purchases of time, which is what that was a native ad as the others were. Yes and this should be illegal. We're the only country that allows this besides the idiots in New Zealand. And no agenda producers if you're on antidepressants and you're gaining weight I love you! I don't care how fat you are...I love you seriously Don't just doesn't sound like a good idea to add this to the mix it doesn't But to change topics here, I want to talk about our new intelligence agency. I love you! I love you just the size you are. Okay? That's important for me to say because I love our producers. I don't care how big they are. Well... You're calling them big. So we have a new-I didn't know this but we have an intelligence agency that is not really listed in the big what is 16 of them that was supposed to have 17 not sure. I thought it was 23

1:40:31 Well, whatever it is this is another one. And he's kind of slipped by everybody and I'm gonna see if you can pick it up in this conversation with Mark Warner on Face the Nation last Sunday And he's talking about all the crap that's going on. He's the head of the Senate Intelligence Committee, so he knows about everything that's got to do with intelligence? No, he knows everything! Yes, he knows everything. So I want to get just at the beginning of this here... This is kind of the first clip That just kind of introduced what they're chatting about. This is kind of meaningless, but here we go I also think the president needs to push President Xi on the continuing intellectual property theft that some years accounts for close to $500 million dollars of intellectual property being stolen and I firmly believe when we've seen no retreat

1:41:22 from China in terms of its level of technology investment. I absolutely believe that national security in the 21st century is more than tanks and guns, it's who wins the battle for artificial intelligence and quantum computing and advanced energy. The level of Chinese investment on rare earth minerals coming out of Africa is huge. And we need to be able to counter that with America and our friends OK. the new one and he never says anything one way or the other about it. I have a third clip just to back that up, to show that after this but we listen to it see if you can figure out which intel what who this is so are you want guardrails? I imagine set up with China on artificial intelligence and like but... Guard rails! You know there's three things we got look at One is

1:42:19 Insane, two is guardrails and the third is uptick. Uptick is everywhere now as well. Legislating around a lot of this is really hard. It's not moving very quickly. I did the bill that was terribly bipartisan 13 and 13 Democrats, Republicans about saying we need an approach that's not simply focused on TikTok but on all foreign technology that might pose a national security risk right from China or Russia or Iran. And suddenly when we had the extremes of both the left and the right come out against that legislation it needs to move

1:42:56 because particularly now as you see, literally 40% of young people get all their news from TikTok. So I hope those kind of issues will be we can get some energy behind them now coming after this summit but this technology competition military competitors like Russia. We've never had an economy that's making the investments the way China is in these new technology domains. So Microsoft this week came out with a report that said, Russia Iran and China will interfere in the 2024 presidential race not Not they were certain about this and other close presidential races worldwide. Oh you mean the guys who read everybody's outlook and have access to what word documents you open, any application you open? You mean those guys?

1:43:48 Since when did Microsoft, not only become an intelligence agency but do these reports about who's going to interfere with the election? They've been doing that for a while. I mean they know all of these zero-day exploits it's all Windows! Windows is the spyware for everybody Well, I would think that Mark Warner would say hey wait a minute. They're not an intelligence agency that can make these determinations Yeah they are there my guess what he should say don't you well you you're saying that but so your saying it's official if the government Agency if Bill Gates can be the doctor of vaccines why couldn't Microsoft be in charge of intelligence?

CHAPTER 34 / 54 Discussion

TikTok News Consumption, Mark Warner Legislation

Senator Mark Warner defended legislation aimed at regulating foreign technology like TikTok, citing concerns that 40% of young people now receive their news from the platform. Critics argue the push to ban or regulate TikTok is driven by established tech giants like Google and Microsoft, who are losing market share to the Chinese-owned app. The debate centers on whether TikTok serves as a propaganda channel or if the regulation is a protectionist move for U.S. tech firms.

tiktok· mark warner· google· propaganda· social media regulation

1:44:34 Well, I guess they are because here's what he says after this. Right immediately after she makes his accusation that Microsoft is telling us about the upcoming elections... He just sloughs it off! Yeah, Microsoft obviously one of our boys Is your legislation going to stop something like that? I think our legislation will take on an issue like TikTok which is, I'm afraid could be used as a propaganda channel TikTok? He wasn't even talking about TikTok. No, just shut up about Microsoft man! And by the way he made the assertion that 40% of America's youths have get their news from TikTok I go on TikTok as much as anybody for certain reasons to get my clips...I've never seen a news report on TikTok have you?!

1:45:29 Well, now you're just being a fuddy-duddy. Because no of course there's no news reports what they get is that all those chicks talking about the letter from Osama That's news to them! That's news News is a fight between Ben Shapiro and Candace Owens that's news There are no news reports that old school They also... Have I told you about the restaurant in Amsterdam? They don't go to Yelp anymore to get restaurant reviews. No, they go on TikTok and they say where can I get great, great stroopwafels in Amsterdam? And then they'll just look at videos and then they'll make a video because they were there when all the videos were made It's a plague

1:46:15 And the reason, Warner was the guy who wrote the legislation because Google et al are flipping out. They know they're losing market share that's the only reason I remain my stance remains firm No, I'm not gonna and it's a stance. I can't argue against I can argue against the few things you do but not that It's obviously Google and Google probably is big supporter of Mark Warner big-time all those guys are they hate it well They all of them And that's why the whole mention of Microsoft in this report as an intelligence agency telling us about the upcoming elections

1:46:54 It just went right off his back like water off a duck because it was like, yeah. Yeah Microsoft knows. This is bad by the way Microsoft should not know. Have you ever installed Windows and read what it says? Hey, we're going to track this. We're going to track that. We're going to check this don't worry about it's all good. It should not have my don't worry about it's all good but even Apple you start up an app on Apple below paying the apple HQ All of that is compromised and This is all set up too Some AI bullcrap stories and AI, oh! Oh, AI is so dangerous. And obviously the algos which is AI used by TikTok need to be... We need to get in there right away because it's not doing the right thing we don't have control over or maybe someone has control over that we don't like and so we need to regulate everything and Nikki Haley Is right on point I'm sure you've seen the clip She's-and this is going to happen

CHAPTER 35 / 54 Discussion

Nikki Haley, Social Media Verification Proposal

Presidential candidate Nikki Haley proposed that all social media users should be verified by their legal names to eliminate foreign bots and increase civility. She argued that anonymity on platforms like X and TikTok is a national security threat. Critics, including Elon Musk, have pushed back, while others suggest such a policy would effectively destroy the open internet and lead to a "digital gulag" where all speech is tracked and tied to financial accounts.

nikki haley· elon musk· social media· national security· verification

1:47:57 Because the big AI guy in America here is Elon Musk and he's already on this path. This is literally his talking points Nikki Haley is in the bag when I get into office The first thing we have to do social media accounts social media companies They have to show America their algorithms Let us see why they're pushing what they're pushing The second thing as every person on social media should be verified by their name That's first of all, it's a national security threat when you do that. All of a sudden people have to stand by what they say and it gets rid of the Russian bots, the Iranian bots and the Chinese bots. And then you're gonna get some civility when people know their name is next to what they say accountability and they know their pastor in our family members going to see it? It's going to help our kids and it's gonna help our country. Oh no not my pastor!

1:48:46 Wait, wait. You mean the names are going to have to be verified? So Namarata Rahawa which is Nikki Haley's real name is gonna have to switch her name to something realistic instead of the phony baloney Nikki Haley Yes! yes of course. Or Nimrata Nimarata Randhawa But everyone else can maybe it's okay for her to go with Nikki Haley. Okay, first of all I'm a proponent of this. I agree wholeheartedly let's destroy it all everybody has to register and be verified for all platforms i'm all in that's great and now just sit there with my little blog and the little RSS feed and I can be anonymous and I can call myself Nikki Haley if I want to. I am all-in! All platforms should be registered and you should be part of the system and the gulag

1:49:40 Totally. She's on the right path, go Nikki! What's her name? Nimrod? Uh...Nimrod. Yes Elon is going to do this because it'll be connected to your bank account This is what they want and I'm all for it Go please this is how we destroy the internet The open free internet If we got to register for YouTube, get a registered Google. If you want to use that stuff then you deserve to be tracked and punished when you go where you go astray. Meanwhile I'll sit here with my little Linux at my little start nine server and I'll just be happy as a clam and put my podcast on there through IPFS and you like it. All right. I'm Adam Curry

CHAPTER 36 / 54 Discussion

Podcast Licensing, Industry Award Shows

The hosts discussed the potential for future government regulation of podcasting, including licensing by the FCC. They also critiqued the rise of podcast award shows, which often require entry fees from creators. The conversation contrasted the "Value for Value" model with traditional media structures, noting that the "golden age" of independent podcasting may be threatened by increasing institutionalization and monetization schemes.

1:50:29 And I have a podcast. Yes, it's the only thing left that still is has not been compromised They even got Spotify to try it and they couldn't do it Couldn't do it! Couldn't do it It's always doable It's not The network Podcast licensing the FCC is gonna take care of it Good luck Good luck. I've been predicting this for years. It's not going to be the only people who can... The golden age right now, people! The only people who can issue... The golden age! To support NO Agenda is the golden age. The only people that can issue podcast licenses are your NO Agenda show. No one else has the right but us. Well, I think the NO Agenda show podcast license would be a good way of going in and we should also have an awards show.

1:51:18 The award shows are great because everyone has to pay to enter. That's my favorite part of the podcast award shows, you get paid a hundred bucks. I think the first two years is going to be free now but all of them are now for pay and it's like oh that's how you do it? How else do you expect to do these things? Well they...I mean do people pay to enter the Oscars Is there an entrance fee? No, but that's picked up by the... you have to be a member. By the studio oh yeah membership well there you go it's the same with the Emmys you have to be a member all right let's switch gears for a second because there is more propaganda and the reason is obvious the propaganda is COP 29

Christmas Tree Shortage, Drought and Wildfires

Christmas tree farms in multiple U.S. states, including Louisiana and New York, are facing shortages due to extreme heat and drought. Additionally, historic wildfires in Canada have disrupted the supply of Frazier firs. Some farms have been forced to close for the season or offer only partial stock, with media outlets attributing these agricultural challenges directly to the ongoing impacts of climate change.

christmas trees· drought· wildfires· canada· climate change

1:54:22 By the way, that 100 000 years there's even more coming up later. In America, we have to be you know this doesn't work for us like really I'm gonna die from the heat. I live in Texas you know what are you trying to do to me? Like i'm not going to die from heat related death here's how we do it in America on ABC Some Christmas tree farms are being forced to close in multiple states due to a shortage this year A Christmas tree farm outside New Orleans says it suffered extensive damage due to the drought and the heat this year And in New York, one farm says a major shipment of Frazier trees was cancelled due to the shortage forcing the farm to close for the season. We didn't want it open just partial and have people come in and be disappointed we thought the right decision was to close the farm this year let the field get a little bit bigger give us time to source some trees for next year Another factor in the tree shortage are historic wildfires in Canada this yea

1:55:19 Climate change, baby. Oh your Christmas tree! Oh no I need to emit less CO2. I'm a horrible person My favorite is what they're doing with Iceland Iceland is great. Iceland is, it's one hotbed of volcanic and seismic activity always has been Always has been And so its a little worse this year we have perpetual drone shot of highway that cracking up I wonder what could be from? What could this be from? Iceland hit once again by series earthquakes

Iceland Volcanic Activity, Deglaciation Claims

Authorities in Iceland declared a state of emergency following 24,000 tremors on the Reykjanes Peninsula, signaling a potential volcanic eruption. A controversial report from France 24 suggested that such eruptions could become more frequent as climate change melts glaciers, reducing pressure on magma bodies. Critics labeled this connection "disgusting" and a "lie," arguing that volcanic activity is being unfairly blamed on global warming to scare the public.

iceland· volcano· earthquake· glacier· climate change

1:55:56 The tremors have sparked fears of a volcanic eruption in the Requinas Peninsula, in the southwest of the island. Authorities have declared a state-of-emergency. According to the Icelandic Met Office, the IMO an eruption could take place in several days. According to the IMO some 24 000 tremors have been registered on the peninsula since late October as well as three eruptions since 2021. Eruptions which experts say could become larger and increasingly common as climate change melts glaciers. The current deglaciation that's occurring in Iceland is disgusting!

1:56:32 It's because of the deglaciation. Listen up! Climate change melts glaciers, but the current deglaciation that is occurring... Everybody knows volcanoes are caused by melting glaciers. Climate change melts glaciers, but the current deglaciation that is occuring in Iceland is affecting our volcanoes and magma bodies that are residing beneath these volcanoes. In future this could mean either more frequent or larger eruptions Iceland has around 30 active volcanic sites, the highest number in Europe. An unpredictable environment for its residents In 2010 an eruption in the south of the island led to the cancellation of tens of thousands of flights leaving some 10 million people stranded It's all climate change That was... Hold on a second I think that was France 24

UN Weather Agency, Methane Emission Deal

The UN weather agency reported that greenhouse gas concentrations reached record highs in 2022, with CO2 levels 50% above pre-industrial averages. Simultaneously, the European Union reached a deal to monitor and cut methane emissions in the energy sector. These reports are part of a broader media buildup ahead of the COP 28 summit, emphasizing the increasing frequency of heatwaves, flooding, and drought across the planet.

united nations· greenhouse gas· methane· european union· climate assessment

1:57:26 It doesn't sound like France 24. I had it written down, France 24...it's on the clip. But that's gross! Well PBS- That's a lie! They're just basically lying to scare people It's disgusting. That clip just irks me. I know, here is PBS. The UN weather agency warned today that greenhouse gases in the atmosphere reached a record high in 2022 with no end in sight. New data showed average concentrations of carbon dioxide were 50% above pre-industrial levels for the first time. Methane and nitrous oxide were also higher raising the odds of more extreme weather events

1:58:08 Practically the whole planet has seen an increase of heat waves. Heat waves! About half of the planet has been facing an increase of flooding events and... Flooding? One third of the planet has been facing an increase of drought events, and this negative trend will continue until 2060's Yeah, yeah. This is all set up to the big cop. Wait wait wait play this clip climate war CO2 Is this the same clip? Let me see the UN's weather agency warned today that green house you got it from PBS Yes, that's PBS if you shouldn't be there Yes also at just do the ad on there what a man shouldn't be there You shouldn't be there I can be at PBS all I want I don't go to NTD believe me That's your client

1:58:52 The kind of the adjunct to that clip is the methane report, which is I don't know why they have to do this. Yes. Because you can't do anything about methane? It's not like, it's cow farts. Meanwhile European Union negotiators agreed today on a deal to lower methane emissions. The bloc's energy sector would have to monitor report and take action on cutting emissions. The deal still needs approval by the European Parliament and Executive Council Yeah, but that means getting rid of more cows. Come on! CBS is in on the game. A new report released by the White House today shows that every corner of the country is being impacted by climate change. Every corner? Are you finding Fredericksburg Texas to be impacted by climate change? No because we're not a corner

National Climate Assessment, White House Warnings

The White House released the latest National Climate Assessment, warning that every region of the U.S. is currently experiencing the worsening effects of climate change. Climate scientist Kate Marvel stated that the current generation is the last one capable of making a meaningful difference. The report notes that billion-dollar weather disasters now occur every three weeks on average, and while U.S. emissions are falling, the transition to wind and solar is not happening fast enough.

white house· national climate assessment· fossil fuels· renewable energy· kate marvel

1:59:41 We're in the middle. I'm noticing, well i'm kind of a corner here in this San Francisco Bay Area but I'm not seeing it yeah all I'm seeing is lousy weather reports that are inaccurate you know if those guys...if those... If the IPCC and the COP 29 people If they only if they were smart, they'd be inviting us on the junket There's a problem when you're when you're not corruptible. You get on a list I'm corruptible give me a like it but yet do say your corruptible But the problem is you're on the list and nobody chase like, you know These blacklist we have for the website and other things you can't get you got to go find what the list is Where you're on that list? And there's not gonna give you the free money

2:00:22 Well that's lame. Yeah, it was too bad for you. CBS got in on this deal A new report released by the White House today shows that every corner of the country is being impacted by climate change That's just one of the findings in a new national climate assessment The first one in five years CBS' Ben Tracy reports on the dire warnings in our continuing series Protecting The Planet Stronger storms, devastating drought heat waves and wildfires. The new National Climate Assessment says the effects of climate change in the U.S are now far reaching and worsening. It's affecting Americans right now no matter where they live. Climate scientist Kate Marvel worked on the assessment Are we running out of time?

2:01:07 to avoid the worst impacts of climate change. We are the last generation that is really going to be able to make a meaningful difference in the world. In the US, there is now $1 billion weather disaster on average every three weeks compared to 3 per year in the 1980's costing 150 billion dollars The report says US greenhouse gas emissions, mainly from the burning of fossil fuels are falling but not quickly enough. Yet wind and solar power... Hold on stop! Yes? If they're falling They're not enough How come their CO2 numbers all of a sudden the highest in history and going up and not seeming to stop at all It's just not enough So in other words fossil fuels got nothing to do with the co2 is that what he's saying because that's contradicting what we just heard it's not enough

2:01:57 All you need to hear is it's not enough. You're not doing enough. You need carbon credits offset your being. It says US greenhouse gas emissions, mainly from the burning of fossil fuels are falling but not quickly enough yet wind and solar power are rapidly expanding now cheaper than burning coal. The future is very much in human hands and our choices are really going to determine how hot its gonna get in the future Now scientists say we just lived through the hottest 12 months in at least 125,000 years and nor they say that should give us a sense of urgency about cutting our planet warming emissions. Where did they get the extra 25 thousand years? It's The White House! And The White House is better it's better than the IPCC and they said no no... The IPCC said 100,000 years but this says 125,000 years These guys are better Do we have any documentation for the temperatures 50,000 years ago Yes look at this chart

Greta Thunberg, Amsterdam Climate Rally Incident

Climate activist Greta Thunberg faced a disruption during a rally in Amsterdam when she began speaking about the Palestinian conflict. A man interrupted her, stating he attended for a climate demonstration rather than her political views. Following the confrontation, Thunberg and the crowd began chanting "No climate justice on occupied lands," a slogan that critics found baffling and unrelated to environmental science.

2:02:51 Look at this graph. It's to the right and up, it's a hockey stick! What is wrong with you? What is wrong... You know, it's lucky you're on our podcast because we de-platform you if you were posting any of this nonsense on X. The funniest thing that happened—this is really the funniest—so Greta Thunberg who amazingly still looks 15 even though she's I think she's legal to drink I think she's like 23. Yeah, she's up there. Let me look it up now She's probably 20. She's in Amsterdam and And so this is a climate rally and she starts talking about Palestine Which is odd? No cheese because you know, she's a for hire 20. She's 20 She's a protester for higher So she by the way isn't gonna be forever a kid because she's 411

2:03:52 Really? Yep. Troll! So she's at this climate rally and... A little taller than Yellen You never see him in the same picture, do you? She is at the climate rally in Amsterdam and she's spouting off about Palestine And then some dude comes up and says hey I'm here for climate protest not for your political crap!! And then a whole bunch of kids in kiffy-es bum rushed the guy You know, he grabs the mic. He grabs the mic from Greta. She grabs it back. She's like calm down and then she goes into this slogan which is just baffling I will narrate. We have not been listening! The people in power have not been listening! I come here for a climate demonstration not to political view

2:04:41 Boo! Boo! Boo! Now she grabs the mic. They're bum-rushing in. Calm down, calm down. Now wait for the new slogan The crowd starts the slogan and Greta joins in No climate justice on occupied lands. Explain to me what that means? No climate justice on occupied lands

2:05:30 I have debt, that is a baffler. And they're chanting... But they're all chanting it so it must have some meaning to them Well so you can't have climate justice and its plural singular on occupied land So they are talking about Palestine No climate justice We hate all Jews is what could've been chanting We hate all Jews That's what they shoulda said It's the same cadence. No, you need more... no it's not the same cadence. It's not It's incredible what's going on in the world. It is outrageous! They really have no idea what they're talking about, they just throw stuff out there... And then she joins in No Climate Justice on Occupied Lands. It's fantastic! And by the way Gaza's not occupied I mean it's self-sufficient

Panama Copper Mine Protests, First Quantum Minerals

Massive protests have paralyzed Panama following the government's approval of a renegotiated contract with Canadian firm First Quantum Minerals for a massive open-pit copper mine. Citizens argue the deal is an attack on national sovereignty and the environment, benefiting foreign investors like BlackRock and the Chinese state. Despite President Cortizo's promise to use mining royalties to increase retiree pensions, roadblocks and strikes continue across the country.

2:06:32 Operation. Oh, it's so good and the last thing I'll have in the climate because it's kind of related to climate change in multiple ways is this protest that has been going on down in Panama You know, Sir Mark has a place there and he's half Panamanian. Avoid Zero? No no no...Mark Hall our film director. Oh Mark, our film guy! So he's been cluing me into this. He said these protests are pretty wild what is going on as the whole country is protesting And it's about a copper mine, which is interesting because we know that somethings up with copper in so far as that the copper mines are not opening. Some of them are closing there are estimates that will have nowhere near enough copper to satisfy the needs of the incredible electric vehicles that will be

2:07:26 mandated across the globe. Yeah, so you jacked the price up works well? Well it's gonna be Jack to high heaven and so I found a report which is a local report but at least it gives us some insight this is yeah it's the same and that kind of relates the climate because here in America we saw this guy shoot two protesters in cold blood killed them and they were deemed climate protesters, but they're not climate protesters. These are Panamanians who are sick and tired of their government selling them out like the Panama Canal and they don't want a repeat of what happened with that and with Noriega... They don't want that! They want their country to be controlled and the money to go to them And there's all kinds of shenanigans going on Listen to that horn

2:08:17 Panama is on fire. Massive protests are rippling across the country, roadblocks unions on strike school and university classes cancelled workers teachers indigenous groups are in the streets they're protesting the government's approval of a renegotiated contract with the Canadian mining firm for the operation of Central America's largest open pit copper mine it's a massive land concession almost the size of the city of Miami They say it's a handout to a foreign company, an attack on Panama's sovereignty and threat to the environment. The people in the streets say they will not back down. They have just one demand—revoke the new contract

2:09:01 The copper mine is run by Canada's first quantum minerals, with investors including the Chinese state, the US capital group Fidelity Vanguard and BlackRock among others. It has been in production since 2019 and extracting 300 thousand tons of copper a year but two years ago Panama Supreme Court ruled that the state contract with the mine was unconstitutional because it did not serve the public good The contract was renegotiated. This one, government officials said, was a huge improvement offering windfall profits for the state. Last week it was fast-tracked through Congress and signed into law by the president but not without resistance. The government has celebrated the new mining contract. They say it's a huge win for the country that will save 40 thousand direct

2:09:51 and indirect jobs, and provide sizable profits from mining royalties to the state. In an effort to appease the growing unrest President Laurentino Cortizo spoke to the country on Tuesday and announced that by next month his government would be using these funds to lift pensions for retirees to a minimum of $350 dollars per month – a 75 percent rise over the current minimum. But it only fueled the fire in the streets. Most Panamanians saw the proposed measure as an attempt to buy off retirees while ignoring the central demand of the protest. Roads and major portions of the Pan-American Highway remain blocked across the country,

2:10:31 This sentiment that the contract is an attack on Panamanian sovereignty runs deep. And it's an important reason why the protests have gained so much traction. Political analysts say that in order to truly understand why so much of the population is against this mining contract, you have to look to the past." Good! We've covered it and I don't know if we can do anything else about it Well, I like to look to the past. Well the past is that then they go into the Panama Canal and how that was you know...I don't think Panama owns a Panama Canal pretty sure they don't No it's called the canal zone as this separate entity Exactly It's not a matter of ownership is a matter of sovereignty They don't have any sovereignty over the Panama Canal The whole country is pretty pissed

Russian Diamond Trade, Global Market Control

A report revealed that Russian diamonds account for 70% of the global jewelry demand, a fact that has stunned Western markets. Major jewelers like Tiffany's and Cartier are attempting to distance themselves from Russian stones, but tracing the origin of individual gems remains a significant technical hurdle. A full Western ban on Russian gems could take over a year to implement and would be extremely costly for the global diamond industry.

2:11:20 They shut the country down. Well, it's a little late for that! They shut the whole country down. When they've been pissed earlier now all of sudden they're pissed? That means there are agitators that are making this happen and I would say Marxists. Oh probably. I'm working to kind of grossed out by the, i'm still befuddled in fact by the bread at Thunberg. It's horrible isn't it? No climate justice on occupied land! Nuke the polar bear. I mean, what are you gonna say? We got we gotta do something here I haven't asked Adam before we get to our break Oh well good. I'm excited about that It's a question is answered right at the beginning Let me play the new and updated ask Adam jingle Answer the question go

2:12:15 I like it. I like it, yes. Am I doing my answer to the question? Go! Mark Levin! All right so what is the question? So who controls 70% of the diamond trade industry that the trade in diamonds is controlled by one country but to the tune of 70%, if you don't know the answer to this question just offhand which I'd be surprised. You'll never guess it! I am going to think about this, who controls the diamond seven? Don't look it up! I'm not looking...I'm not doing that and in fact I have my eyes closed. I promise you I am going to say... Answer the question go! I'm gonna say The Netherlands with De Beers mining do I get to play the clip now

2:13:14 Go. Russian diamonds account for 70% of global diamond jewelry demand Did she say Russian? Yep. And major Western jewelers from Tiffany's to Cartier have been keen to distance themselves from Russia's lucrative diamond trades, but a big hurdle is how to trace the origin of the stones? Some companies will struggle says Tugendhaft We can do it because we've been working on traceability for the last two years You should know that people who have been working with big brands traceability is not something that comes out of the sky as of now.

2:13:52 All the new players in the industry who have not yet started with 3F stability are going to lag behind for sure. He said that not only would a full Western ban on Russian gems be costly for the industry, it could also take another year to fully implement. Oh man! How did Russia take over the business right beneath our noses? I don't know... And nobody knows about this. I was stunned by this I would have guessed Belgium, Holland. Yeah! Great Britain. India? And if they said China... I would not have been surprised. Wouldn't be surprised no no Wow well the more you know.

CHAPTER 45 / 54 Discussion

No Agenda Community, Troll Room and Social Media

The hosts discussed the unique community surrounding the show, specifically the "Troll Room" and the "No Agenda Social" Mastodon instance. They framed the Troll Room as a "good mental health experience" where users can express themselves anonymously without the pressures of traditional social media. The segment emphasized that the show does not take political sides, which occasionally leads to listener attrition during major news events like the Ukraine war.

2:16:18 Well, in the morning to you Mr. Adam Curry also in the morning to all ships and sea boots on the ground feet in the air subs in the water and all the dames and knights out there And in the morning to the trolls in the troll room Hello there trolls good to see ya!

Okay okay I'm gonna pick a side right now Alright I think spinach with the cream sauce would be good. That's a good side, I've always liked it. It is as good as steakhouse.

They don't care about anything else, they don't care about you We barely care about you...a little bit

CHAPTER 46 / 54 Discussion

Value for Value, Adam Curry Interview Path

Adam Curry detailed his recent media appearances, including an interview with Forbes about the "Value for Value" model and open-source technology. He also announced an upcoming interview with Mike Adams, the founder of Brighteon, for a new show called "Decentralized TV." The discussion touched on the challenges of promoting the show's model to mainstream journalists and the importance of maintaining independent infrastructure.

CHAPTER 47 / 54 Discussion

News Deconstruction, Media Laughter Criticism

The hosts addressed criticism that they "laugh at death" when discussing international conflicts. They clarified that their humor is directed at the absurdity of media reporting and the people who "lap up" propaganda, rather than the victims of war. The segment highlighted the difficulty of maintaining a deconstructive approach when audiences are emotionally charged and demanding that the show "pick a side."

news deconstruction· media criticism· ukraine· gaza· humor

2:24:57 I'm guessing 10. Hey man, I'm taking it all and just trying to help out the show we're losing people left and right. We are because we always lose people. We lost people during the COVID thing but curiously most of them are dead You're horrible. And then we lost people on the Ukraine war, I think we lost more than that. We lost a lot. Ukraine War because we didn't take sides on that Do you remember how furious people were? This is genocide of the Ukrainian people. You're carrying water for Putin, you're horrible! I can't believe that you just laughing about children and babies being killed... All we do is deconstruct news. What's to complain about?

2:25:51 Well, I think it's the laughing that people don't like. You know? People need to get it loosened up. Yeah we do laugh probably at things you know but we're not laughing at the dead Ukrainians We are laughing at the stupidity of the news media And the people who lap it up! and the people who lap it up like...and parrot it Lap-lap-lap and then they off they go Lap, lap, lap and off they go. OK? That's it! There is your slogan. Lap, lap, lap and off you go. So as a part of the value for value proposition which I guess we'll be talking to Mike Adams about... Hey man. I wonder if this is the same Mike Adams. I think it is. Right. I don't know that it is there's the problem with the name Mike Adams is there are- A lot of Mike Adams in the phone book It's like, you know, Adam Curry. There's too many of them

2:26:49 You know all the other Adam Curry's are black. Yeah, well that's the funny thing of it isn't it yeah? Yeah, and they get there's a lot of them How do you know is there an Adam curry convention I missed there probably should be Our artists are part of our time, talent and treasure value for value mechanism which we appreciate because these pieces of artwork do very well for the show. People like to comment on them people like to fight over them. People like to put it on t-shirts hats mugs cozies and other paraphernalia which is all run and organized by a non affiliated group called No Agenda Shop

2:27:33 Noahjennashop.com, they make a donation from time to time we love the whole idea of y'all just owning it all and doing it all All we want to do is just do the show We just want to do the show deconstruct the media and we don't even talk to each other outside of this show We have nothing left to say to each other Nothing Although Tina has always a little irked says after the show you guys are always laughing it up You're giggling. You're all giddy and giggling after the show, but that's usually because we're looking at... No this is women jealousy they don't like they don't like bros. Mimi says what was Mimi's comment?

2:28:11 You know you were too happy on the last show. What are you talking about? Because, you were just like oh your all jitty on the show like you know I said well maybe two cups of coffee because I don't know and she's good grouse about it She was unhappy because we're laughing about...we're happy about death is that what it is again No I just have no idea We're not happy about death By the way I think you nailed her voice That was so close to exactly what I'm not supposed to use that voice for her. I'm supposed to use Now you change it boy, you were too happy She agreed that I could do that voice for her i'd like the other one At least I have my opening clip

CHAPTER 48 / 54 Discussion

No Agenda Art, Veterans Day Submissions

The show reviewed recent artwork submissions, focusing on a Veterans Day piece by "Correct the Record" that was selected for the episode. The hosts discussed the increasing use of AI in listener art and the importance of chapter markers in modern podcast apps. They encouraged artists to continue submitting work via the No Agenda Art Generator to support the show's visual identity.

CHAPTER 49 / 54 Discussion

Executive Producer Donations, Knighting Ceremony

A significant portion of the show was dedicated to acknowledging high-value donations from "Executive Producers" and "Associate Executive Producers." Several individuals were knighted or granted "PhD" status in media deconstruction for their $1,000 contributions. Notable donors included Sir Scott Lonergan, Sir Joe Clemens, and the Mayor of Cypress, Texas, whose support helps sustain the show's ad-free model.

CHAPTER 50 / 54 Discussion

Small Boob Donations, Steubenville Bud Light Incident

The final donation segment featured "boob donations" (numerical patterns like 8008) and a report on a PBS NewsHour segment filmed in Steubenville, Ohio. The hosts noted a suspicious product placement where a resident and the reporter both ordered Bud Light at a local bar. They speculated that Anheuser-Busch might be paying for "earned media" to rehabilitate its image following recent brand controversies.

2:50:16 and also your LinkedIn profile, your resume. But I see here business cards. Yes. I see Forrest Tucker coming in with two donations. He gets bumped up to the executive producer. You want to read his note there? Yeah. I might as well read this note he came in at $172.30 and a hundred sixty dollars and seventy cents which rounds out to three forty So and 10 cents or something. Working to pay back some of the value I have received from the show over the years, two he says, two Jamestown donations in honor of Show 1607. He's got 172 30 and one six, it is 1607 okay?

2:51:00 And the town's 416th year, plus 11. 6 equals 333... One... Okay he's one of the numerologists. I think so! He wants a Reverend L and a climate gate And eventually he wants us to play the Neymar climate clip, but that's too long to play right now. But we will play it again shortly I have some climate not today show but keep an eye out because i got a some terrific stuff from the 80s that backs up the global cooling nonsense and he says Dr Spock was right

2:51:38 R-E-S-P-I-C-T. To the gate, to the gate, to the climate gates! Ah yes we've been at this game for a long time and it was Mr Spock for your information that's correct it was Dr...

New Hampshire meetup in Epping, New Hampshire 60?

2:53:04 Now, I also got a couple bottles of water with the $60. Now, I hope it was 60 because it was loose 20's in a box thrown in carelessly and that box had spaces where the money could escape him. Oh no! Yes. The money could have escaped... It could have been $1,000 dollars in there for all I know. Oh no. And it was very poorly done they could've put an envelope just a lot of things that could've and then taped to the inside so that was I consider that to be careless Christopher Dechter, 5678. Richard Futter in London UK 510 James Edmondson in South Plainfield New Jersey 5510 Anonymous Cop in Redwood City California 5150 Lisa Mikalski in Sarasota Florida
