This is such a scam Oh its going back to 1850 Well, if you look at... Was it last year when they went back 10,000 or 250 thousand years? Yeah. They decided not to do that because that was not verifiable but if you look at 1850 that's just around when the Little Ice Age ended back in the 900s The temperature was higher than it is now This is such a scam

CHAPTER 03 / 46 Discussion

CHAPTER 04 / 46 Discussion

Chris Christie Suspends Presidential Campaign and Hot Mic Incident

Chris Christie suspended his 2024 presidential campaign five days before the Iowa caucus, vowing to prevent Donald Trump from returning to office. Before his announcement, a hot mic captured Christie telling an aide that Nikki Haley is "going to get smoked" and is "not up to this." Media outlets, including NBC News, are scrutinized for their cautious framing of the recording despite the specific financial details Christie mentioned regarding Haley's campaign spending.

chris christie· nikki haley· donald trump· gop primary· nbc news· new hampshire

08:32 Is Chris Christie dropping out of the race and then the hot mic, hot mic incident. Hot mic The phony hot mic incident? Oh you think it's phony that's interesting. I know totally hold on tonight Chris Christie announcing the end of his long shot presidential bid just five days before the first contest of the Republican primary It is clear to me tonight that there isn't a path for me to win the nomination which is why I'm suspending my campaign tonight for President of the United States. The most vocal Trump critic in the GOP field, the former New Jersey governor had focused his campaign on New Hampshire but struggled to gain traction. I am going to make sure that in no way do I enable Donald Trump to ever be president of the United States again

09:23 And that's more important than my own personal ambition. And while Christie made no endorsement tonight, he already faces pressure to back Nikki Haley whom he has publicly defended in the past but as repeatedly criticized in recent days including for not taking on Trump more directly when you ask her the tough questions. Wow good mic she She doesn't answer. Christie appearing to criticize her on a hot mic before his event began tonight, and she's going to get smoked and you and I both know it. She thought up to this on social media Trump calling that a quote very truthful statement. Christie's exit could give Haley a boost in New Hampshire where polls show her closing the gap with Trump, where recent poll shows roughly half of Christie supporters listing Haley as their second choice

10:09 So this whole, the hot mic thing is not quite as interesting. I mean if you want to hear it, I have the whole thing but... That part you played is the best part. Yeah that's the best part but what I thought was interesting is because the general consensus is that Nikki Haley is being funded by big Democrat donors anything or anything to get rid of Trump because Nikki can do it And the way NBC categorized this hot mic was weird. But just moments before Chris Christie started giving this speech, there was a hot mic moment we talked about it a little bit ago in the show in which he was apparently talking presumably about Nikki Haley... Apparently? Presumably! Saying suggesting that saying suggesting again presumably her Wow I mean again presumably or not sure if it's about her We really don't know because you know she said she but could be any could be Vivick

11:03 in the show, in which he was apparently talking presumably about Nikki Haley saying suggesting that again presumably her could get smoked. Let me play a little bit of that hot mic moment now for people. We spent 16 million so far, 59 million by DeSantis and we spent 12. I mean who's punching above their weight? And who is getting a return on their investment you know and she is going to get smoked and you and I both know it she's up to this. She hasn't even been challenged. She has still 20 points behind Trump in the main chair right? Yeah oh yeah! He's still gonna carry Iowa right? Yes always...I talked to DeSantis called me who was petrified that he would lose. He's probably getting out of it after Iowa

11:44 Okay, there's a lot to unpack on that one John Allen Chris Christie of course is still speaking on stage We're gonna listen to see if he does in fact make an endorsement But there's two pieces to this one and we gotta be careful here. You can presume He's talking about Nikki Haley based on that conversation There's only you know one person who's 20 points behind I mean it's almost over but this is crazy Presumably he cites the exact amount of money she's collected Who else collected 65 million dollars as he pointed out? Besides her. NBC has no problem talking about sources say when it comes to Trump or a thing like that but here it is plain on its face and she's all like well you know presumably we're not sure could be I have to be very careful. We can presume he's talking

12:30 talking in the course of our conversation here in the last four minutes said I hear Chris Christie is dropping out of the race to say he was just caught on a hot mic saying she's gonna get smoked calling that a very truthful statement here John, this is already creating like a whole political thing now. The way she kept saying presumably maybe we're not sure couldn't be it could be tells me that somethings up

Donald Trump Fox News Town Hall and Retribution Claims

Donald Trump participated in a Fox News town hall where he addressed concerns regarding political retribution. Trump stated he would be too busy making the country successful to seek revenge against his opponents. Observers noted that Trump appeared energetic during the event, with some commentators from The Young Turks even finding his performance humorous.

donald trump· fox news· town hall· retribution· young turks· gop

13:09 But what? Well, they're disappointed. They wanted Nikki Haley to win and now she's gonna get smoked! Smoked I tell you smoked well I think the again I think this hot mic was a fake he really was hot he's gonna say so and what his complaint what he was complaining about Christie besides the fact that we all know they hate for some reason cuz Trump didn't give him a position he was looking for something he he's pissed and he's trying to get revenge is the fact that he says in that little commentary, in the hot mic. He says she picked up 65 million dollars in donations

13:52 Largely from Silicon Valley. No, no spent it on television that's what he was saying Spent all that money on TV Yeah well she got but the number is there and he had 12 million He's what he's trying to I think convey is that hey where's my money? If you'd only given me money I would have been Nikki yeah maybe Isn't he endorsing her now though? I don't know that he is I believe so Well then he's a hypocrite Chris Christie, hypocrite. Anyway that part of it doesn't matter I mean and of course the funniest thing was that I haven't looked at the ratings if they're even you can't even get ratings anymore oh no we can't do overnight rating says you know that would disappoint everybody and we all be waiting for the ratings so Trump did a Fox News town hall which i did not see but supposedly pretty good he was entertaining from what I understand even the Young Turks people were saying he was funny

14:53 Which is odd for them to say that. It's weird, very weird for them to say that Here's one small clip about his so-called revenge retribution on day one or day Day one. the 51 intelligence agents hoax, all of these different hoaxes that they did. I mean you know a lot of people would say that's probably quite normal. I'm not gonna have time for retribution we're gonna make this country so successful again i'm not going to have time for retribution." He sounds young do you hear that in his voice? Sounds younger someone's going on it could be the EQ hmm sound this out well may as little sped up just sounded younger yeah

NTD Report on Chris Christie Exit and Trump Boost

NTD News reports that Chris Christie's exit from the race may inadvertently boost Donald Trump's chances in the primary. The report highlights the contrast between Christie's public pledge to stop Trump and his private admission on a hot mic that Nikki Haley lacks the standing to win.

ntd news· chris christie· donald trump· nikki haley· iowa caucus

16:00 So you got anything from from these fabulous events? I was you know, I would again like you know, we get a jaded thing. I didn't watch either one of them either I do have I might have a Christie thing my version to Christy This Chris Christie weirdness from NTD is basically your report with it was something weird. Good evening to you as well, Tiff just moments ago former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie announced that he's dropping out of the 2024 presidential race and this comes just five days before the first caucus in the nation right here in Iowa meanwhile

16:36 Well, Chris Christie who's a vocal Trump critic even in announcing the suspension of his campaign promised to keep Trump out of office ever again. Meanwhile he actually might have helped boost Trump chances just now by getting caught on hot mic saying that Nikki Haley will get smoked watch because I want to promise you this I'm gonna make sure that in no way Do I enable Donald Trump to ever be president of the United States again? Wow. And she's gonna get smoked, and you and I both know it. She's not up to this. Wow! That's weird. So they say this is the hot mic bit then they play a bit from... Yeah, from... They did a clip in. That's weird. It was very different. Well since were doing Foreigners, do you remember Ian Bremmer

CHAPTER 07 / 46 Discussion

Eurasia Group Identifies 2024 Global Risks and Trump Threat

Ian Bremmer of the Eurasia Group released a report naming the U.S. presidential election as the top global risk for 2024. During an interview on France 24, a constitutional law professor suggested a Trump victory could lead to World War III through alliances with international dictators. Bremmer argued that the U.S. is the only G7 nation lacking a guaranteed legitimate transfer of power, citing Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

ian bremmer· eurasia group· donald trump· world war iii· france 24· g7

17:29 Remember that douchebag from, wasn't he from Iraq? But he was... Wasn't Bremer the guy handing out the big stacks of money to everybody. Maybe yeah I think they had in Iraq or the second Iraq war. He was handing out money so now he's a bigwig over there at the Eurasia Group which is just another think tank that'll write up any papers you want for money And they created the list of the biggest risks of 2024. The biggest risks! That's a good find Now, do you think climate change is at the top? Oh it has to be It's the number one threat to the world

18:09 It's a, it's a uh... what do you call it? Threat. You know, it's gonna kill everyone. Existential threat! Existential is the word I'm looking for Well no We begin the day going down the list of the biggest global risks in 2024 Every January we take stock on what threatened the world as we know it last year and what could do the same in this new year And this January is no different For 2024, some of the global risks are all too familiar. Some to be expected and that's according to the Eurasia Group in its annual Global Risk Report. Joining me now is Ian Bremmer president founder of Eurasia Group and GZERO Media. Let's talk first about the US presidential election being risk number one you are not alone here in putting it at the top of the list I'd like to get your reaction to what a constitutional law professor told me last night on this program

18:59 When I asked about a possible Trump victory come November. This is great, so before he gets into it they're gonna lead in with this constitutional law professor...I'm not sure who she is She's a DEI hire And she has her book behind her on the shot. This is just a phenomenal piece of orange man bad dimension B nuttiness. Take a listen Donald Trump becomes president again, he's already decided vengeance on anyone who opposes him, especially the so-called enemies he already has in the government and anybody who didn't vote for him before. But he's also going to join with other strongmen dictators around the country I mean around the world and create havoc around the globe it will not just rest within the borders of the United States there will be

19:55 I would say, perhaps World War III if he is allowed to join with other dictators and put in place the nationalist themes that he's already advocated in the United States. Now what constitutional law was discussed in that clip? This is just one crazy lady's opinion but it It kind of lines up with Eurasia group. What do you say to that? I mean, are we talking about a risk that is so acute and severe that we could be looking at another world war? Let me walk back... So this came from Deutsche Welle? No no France 24 Oh really because it sounds like one the Deutsche Welle guys. Let me double check Are you sure? No let me double check I'm pretty sure it was uh where is it

20:49 Because it makes more sense coming from... No, no. It's France 24 I wrote it down. France 24 Okay so this that then I know who okay is the other guy? It's interesting because it would seem more like it come from a propaganda outlet Oh France 24 is not a propaganda outlets Well no but they're not CIA control like Not yet Maybe they are already. They got Bremer in the house! Let me walk back from the brink a little bit, but I think that the United States democracy is in crisis If you look at our report, we look at American trust in institutions from Congress and the executive to the media and judiciary to the church. And they have all been going down, down, down nothing is stopping that

21:41 The US is the one democracy in the G7 that does not have the committed ability to have a free and fair transfer of power in a legitimate national election. That is a serious issue that we should not normalize, and in the next few months Donald Trump who had tried to overturn the outcome of the 2020 election is enormously likely to become the nominee of the Republican Party. And when he does, the Republicans will be loyal to him and he will become much more powerful overnight which means his policies not just domestically but also internationally. His willingness to go after Biden,

22:30 cut off the Ukrainians, his willingness to go after the Iranians. Trade decoupling with the Chinese those will become policies that the Republicans as a party will pursue and so this is not just about the coin flip of where we end up come this November but it's also about the entire year where we're gonna be in a much more divided much more problematic policy environment for the US and for its allies around the world than people are expecting Yeah, yes. He's going to do all these horrible things which sound good to me! What where's this list? They didn't even mean was that number one and they just stopped. Where is the top ten threats now? The climate change was number four the whole rest of the list was dumb This dumb who cares Number one is all they want to talk about but World War three Yes a Trump World War three he's gonna He's gonna get together with other leaders around the world and wreak havoc Okay, okay

CHAPTER 08 / 46 Discussion

Supreme Court Review of Trump 14th Amendment Ballot Eligibility

The U.S. Supreme Court is set to hear arguments regarding Donald Trump's eligibility for the ballot under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. Legal analysts from Law 360 suggest the justices have multiple "off-ramps" to overturn the Colorado Supreme Court's ruling. The discussion posits that a ruling against Trump would lead to retaliatory efforts to remove Joe Biden from ballots in states like Florida.

supreme court· 14th amendment· colorado· donald trump· law 360· biden

23:30 Because that's all they can think of. Let's make World War III, yeah great idea guys! By the way our constitutional lawyer Rob sent in some opinions from Law 360 about Trump and the 14th Amendment Section 3 Because you know he took that to the Supreme Court and man I mean the title of this article is wary justices have many off-ramps in Trump ballot dispute. Here's some of the opinions, just so you know See Covington & Burlington LLP says special counsel Matt Chepanka That they would take the case comes as no surprise how they choose to decide it will be

24:18 The court granted Trump's broad question of whether the Colorado Supreme Court erred in its decision, as opposed to specific questions about Section 3's applicability and enforcement posed by a branch of the state's Republican Party. Giving justice at least eight ways to overrule the state courts ruling this is a shoe-in. The Supreme Court is free to decide Trump's case in a myriad of ways This is going to be in his favor there's no doubt about it It has to be because if it's not in his favor, the first thing that is going to happen is Biden will get kicked off the Florida ballot. And that's a swing state, not Colorado! Exactly and this is like the season of reveal now we find out that Fannie Willis was the Georgia District Attorney? Oh yeah she stooped her, the guy she hired to prosecute Trump Who sent the White House invoices?! How stupid are these people!?

CHAPTER 09 / 46 Discussion

Fani Willis Subpoena and Nathan Wade Relationship Allegations

Fani Willis, the District Attorney of Fulton County, Georgia, faces allegations of an improper relationship with Nathan Wade, a special prosecutor she hired for the Trump election interference case. Reports indicate Wade met with White House officials and used campaign funds for personal travel with Willis. Willis has since been subpoenaed in Wade's divorce proceedings.

25:16 Do I have a clip on that? I don't have a clip. I was looking for it, but most of it was just you know Twitter outrage like what I did... That's a funny story Oh yeah well and also now she's been subpoenaed in that guy's divorce case Yes, she caused a divorce. Yes! She's a homewrecker I didn't get it clip Nancy Pelosi now claiming that she begged for the National Guard troops on January 6th which of course is emphatically not true She's the one who stopped it. That's a lie Yeah she stopped it I'm telling you this this is the season of reveal all shall be revealed

Pramila Jayapal Verbal Slip Regarding Trump and January 6

Representative Pramila Jayapal made a verbal gaffe during a session by stating that Donald Trump "incited an erection" instead of an insurrection. A montage of similar slips by other Democratic politicians is presented, highlighting the repetitive nature of the error when discussing the January 6 Capitol events.

pramila jayapal· the squad· donald trump· january 6· capitol riot

25:56 And a lot of people will pay attention. Not all, but many will. I think our show will. Yeah. It's crazy how things just keep circling back and people's heads are all filled with weirdness particularly Democrats in Congress You saw Jayapal member of the squad trying to discredit Trump During this special session, she did one. We're gonna talk about outrageous things that have happened or things that have never happened Let's talk about the fact that President Trump incited an erection and maybe that too

26:42 You can talk about that too, I guess. Which of course gives me the moment to play our mini cut of all Democrats thinking about erections. Into inciting an erection. They feel the president has incited an erection for inciting the erection. Incited the erection. Someone just incited an erection. Did incite an erection on the Capitol. For inciting that deadly erection. Former President Trump incited an erection. He worked to incite an erection There is no comparison to inciting an erection Into inciting and erection For inciting the erection Incited the erection It was hard to get it aroused, and it is hard to get it aroused but we got it aroused Alright there you go What are people thinking when they make a mistake like that? Well who do you think they're thinking I guess

CHAPTER 11 / 46 Discussion

Speculation Regarding Lloyd Austin Absence and Ukraine Visit

Theories circulate regarding the prolonged public absence of Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin. While the official narrative cites surgery complications, alternative reports suggest Austin may have been injured or killed during a Russian missile strike while on an unannounced visit to Kiev. The concept of "making a legend" is discussed as a method for NATO to cover up the deaths of high-ranking officers in conflict zones.

lloyd austin· ukraine· russia· nato· kiev· missile strike

27:31 They all have a hard-on for Trump. Oh, there you go! Very good excellent well okay so we might as well get all of the US news out of the way let me see... Let's skip to one thing that I you kind of touched on it was to have we seen Lloyd Austin yet? No, we still haven't. We've only seen a statement that he said oh I'm sorry I got to repent and think about this Yeah well then there's the rumor it's more than a rumor in some circles Yes That he has been killed in Ukraine This comes from raw news which said they got him from Russia

28:20 No, well raw news is a weird operation because it's really kind of Babylon B meets real news. Yeah yeah so it's kind of and so you don't know what's true and what's not true in there and that report has like got too many weird details but I got something which is a podcaster does military history or something something and he's Russia I think he's a Russian plant too but he has It kind of tries to explain some things and he brings in some new terms which call Which is called making a legend? which means when you are Illegally in some area and you get killed your people make a legend as to how you died. Oh I never heard this term That's a good way haven't heard it either But let's play the Lloyd Austin clips from this guy has got a deep kind of our kind of Eastern European accent You have to kind of

29:13 get into hearing. If somehow another NATO officer enters Ukraine and he was hit by the Russian missile, what happens next? You may find very interesting that if this officer is located in Ukraine or anyone else unofficially and if somehow he managed to get these or that Russian missiles

29:51 There is a special group that start creating legend. Start creating the legend and for example if this or that NATO officers died then we can may find another car accident or let's say, we may find another heart attack or we might find another accident somewhere on the holidays as a result of this accident, this or that officer died. So anyway the legend should be you need to explain why this or that general of NATO army died in these circumstances And so this is the situation. And now we're moving back to Lloyd Austin because according to information, he disappeared from TV on the 2nd of January. The second of January I'll remind you is when Russians ended their massive missile strikes over Ukraine including Kinzhal and Iskander and many other different types of missiles like H-series and so on. Furthermore, I will remind that Russian

30:53 According to their report, during those days managed to get another base and at least as I remember one deputy of general staff of Ukraine was died as a result of another strike. And few let's say bases with officers NATO officers also were destroyed Huh, do you know the name of this podcast? I want to subscribe to it. It's called military something yeah III posted it on no agenda social that entire his entire spiel goes on for about an hour video or is only our yes video huh and he's got a man right here that some brighter what isn't on bright Eon I Got off YouTube Oh Thunder it's on the real deal my camp I can't but I can't believe that they haven't taken that down yet This is horrible this speculation

31:43 Well, it's there sitting there anyway. No agenda social has a copy so here we go with the second part of this So very likely I'm not saying that this is like complete truth that we got disinformation somewhere from reliable sources or The Washington Post wrote about this no We don't have this but everything it's like a theory that very likely that Lloyd Austin during the, let's say a New Year holidays visited Ukraine and it was an official visit. Maybe they wanted to discuss something with Zelensky without some official documents and as a result of Russian missile strike as revenge for Belgrade bombings

32:23 when Ukrainians were bombing Belgrade with cluster rounds, Lloyd Austin may be wounded and he was transferred of course to United States of America. Maybe he's in a very poor condition because of his health and this is the reason why he was already dismissed by the Congress and very likely that he is going to have a lot of problems and very likely we're not going to see Lloyd Austin anymore." Once again, I hope that this all these talks are just provided is just wishful thinking or it's just a theory and from the other side We wish all the Western to recover as soon as possible All right. So the thinking here would be well we have to make legend out of him because we can't Actually well first of all who says he was killed by the Russians? I mean they've got guys popping off hand grenades all day long over there on their own guys

33:15 Remember that all these top brass military guys, like oh here's a hand grenade in your cake. Well, there yes. I'm sure that's going on too bad my understanding from reading the various things and a lot of it BS no doubt about you can't find anything on RT so that kind of makes you wonder but the Russians are always on the lookout for these NATO guys coming in to advise the Ukrainians and then they assassinate them left or right if they can by just pummeling where wherever they are whatever meeting and I guess say someone got Got to see Lloyd Austin comes through. They said well, this will be a good one Let's see how they explain this That's I'm laughing but of course is tragic But so why wouldn't they do anything unless it's all but what? Well, let's follow the logic still has not cropped up. Well, let's follow the logic for a minute though

34:13 So he's killed over there. Why wouldn't they just say, oh man he got killed let's go bomb Russia? Bomb Moscow? Clearly nobody wants that which just shows that this is not at all about Russia really Well there was no announcement of him going it was like a top secret mission Why was he there? Why is our Secretary of Defense hanging out in Ukraine. I mean this is like Brammer when he was in Ukraine, hanging out at the Maidan or whatever it was... I mean why is Sean Penn over there?! Everyone's over there! Everyone's in on this scam You know what, I have two clips here that may kind of show that we're getting really towards the end and I don't know what they're going to do with Lloyd Austin Actually let me play this

CHAPTER 12 / 46 Discussion

John Kirby Defends Lloyd Austin Amid Secrecy Controversy

Pentagon spokesperson John Kirby faced intense questioning from reporter Peter Doocy regarding the lack of transparency surrounding Secretary Lloyd Austin's hospitalization. Kirby maintained that Austin remains an exceptional leader with the President's full confidence, despite the fact that the White House was not informed of his condition for several days. Kirby's use of past tense when describing Austin's service sparked further speculation.

john kirby· lloyd austin· pentagon· peter doocy· white house

35:06 Kirby, who is in the Pentagon who should know much better what's going on. Doocy was grilling him And Kirby really kind of had a mini meltdown. He couldn't handle the questions I It's up to you and your colleagues, and it's up to the American people that determine You know how much they're going To ascribe what happened here to our credibility on every single issue but in in every way Secretary Austin has been an exceptional defense secretary, and he still has the full faith and confidence of the commander-in-chief Why didn't he say is? is an outstanding Secretary of Defense. Why do you say has been? You know what I mean, if I were Lloyd Austin and still alive i'd be pissed about this issue but in every way secretary Austin has been an exceptional defense secretary and he still has the full faith and confidence as a commander-in-chief He has led the department at incredibly dangerous time for our national security interests and those of our allies and partners

36:07 has led the post as opposed to is leading. that the administration would not go to the same lengths to keep secret problems with President Biden's health. If you could logically argue, and you can't but if you could logically argue that the admini- Wait a second just give me a second here bub I'll get there. Give me a second here bub

36:48 What is that all about? That's not very, that's not right. That's not very professional. Bubba. I wouldn't even call you bub. That's just not cool. Dude is bad enough. You can't. But if you could logically argue that the minute he's 81 years old, wait a second. Just give me a second here, Bob. I'll get there. If the administration made some sort of Machiavellian effort across this board to keep this from getting public then i think your question has merit and certainly is a fair one. I don't think it's a fair one because that's not what happened here Peter. What happened

37:29 There is the Secretary of Defense, for whatever reason I can't answer the question why that information wasn't shared. It wasn't shared widely in the department and it certainly wasn't shared with the interagency. You just didn't know? It's not good! It's certainly not good which is again we want to learn from this. We wanna make sure that it doesn't happen again. We wanna learn from this. We'll make sure it doesn't happen again but how many of these guys are gonna get killed I might as well play the two mainstream reports i have and then get into what i really want to play. This is, let's see we'll start with CBS Secretary Austin had surgery for prostate cancer more than two weeks ago but hid the diagnosis from his commander-in-chief

CHAPTER 13 / 46 Discussion

Medical Details of Lloyd Austin Prostate Cancer Treatment

Official reports from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center state that Secretary Lloyd Austin underwent surgery for prostate cancer on December 22. He was later readmitted on January 1 due to a urinary tract infection and abdominal complications. Deputy Secretary Kathleen Hicks was reportedly on vacation in Puerto Rico and unaware of Austin's ICU status for several days, leading to a Pentagon review of notification protocols.

lloyd austin· walter reed· prostate cancer· kathleen hicks· pentagon

38:09 until today. The president didn't know about the diagnosis until this morning. Austin underwent surgery on December 22nd CBS News chief medical correspondent Dr. John Lepook describes the operation which the Pentagon called an elective medical procedure when you take out the entire prostate it is a major operation On New Year's Day, Austin began to suffer complications. I also don't think that's really... If you're taking someone's whole prostate out That's not an elective surgery That's like emergency cancer surgery isn't it? Well, they also...that's interesting that the CBS would bring this in because my understanding was there was something lesser than that took place and they're not really giving us good explanations. And then there is the rumor again we don't know this one way or another but their not covering it because the reporting sucks. Why would we? Nobody at Walter Reed even saw the guy! He is a hard guy to miss

39:08 It's a hard guy to miss. A hard guy to miss! On New Year's Day, Austin began to suffer complications including nausea with severe abdominal hip and leg pain Initial evaluation revealed a urinary tract infection. Very rare for men, by the way, UTI This is an unusual complication usually these surgeries they are big operations but people recover very well generally without any kind of a complication like this Admitted to the ICU with a tube down his nose to drain his stomach Austin turned over his powers as Secretary of Defense to his deputy But waited three full days before telling The White House he was in the hospital

39:49 It is not optimal for a situation like this to go as long as it did without the commander in chief knowing about it. That's not the way this was supposed to happen. The White House ordered all cabinet secretaries to immediately report whenever they are not able to perform their duties, and the Pentagon began a review of what took so long NBC had one other detail about the assistant secretary or the yeah, the deputy secretary. Which kind of contradicts what we've been hearing supposedly she didn't know anything either? No she was on vacation Yeah she was on vacay Vacay! Tonight the mystery surrounds... If this had been going on while she was on a vacay wouldn't she fly back immediately You'd think so Hey if I were some second in command and like hey

40:41 I can be the top dog. I can take over, i'm coming back! You bet! Tonight the mystery surrounding Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin's secretive hospitalization revealed he was being treated for prostate cancer His doctors say he was diagnosed in early December but defense officials say he hid the illness from top Pentagon officials and even the president Nobody at the White House knew that Secretary Austin had prostate cancer until this morning. January, and now the procedure was on December 22nd. Prostate cancer until this morning A statement from Walter Reed saying his surgical procedure on December 22nd was to treat and cure prostate cancer They say he was under general anesthesia but released the next morning But on Monday January 1st Austin was rushed back to Walter Reed via ambulance with severe pain suffering from an infection and fluid buildup that was impairing his small intestine

41:54 On Tuesday, January 2nd Austin was admitted to the intensive care unit and transferred some authorities to his deputy Kathleen Hicks while she was on vacation in Puerto Rico. But Hicks and the White House were not told he was in the ICU until Thursday January 4th members of Congress senior Pentagon leaders and the public were not informed until the night of Friday January 5th this guy shouldn't be in charge of our military now well I'm going to continue I'm calling for a full hearing. The Pentagon now reviewing who knew what, when and why the White House wasn't told clearly we could have done better and we will do better Austin's chief of staff now ordering that these officials be told when Austin transfers authority to Hicks and why

42:43 Austin remains hospitalized tonight, having now spent all of 2024 in the hospital. Doctors there saying he's expected to make a full recovery but it can be a slow process Here is what I'm missing...I am missing Hicks Why isn't Hicks out there saying I know we're in two wars It's all good! I am here Steady hand on the helm It's all good and I wish Secretary Lloyd Austin All The Best In His Recovery Everything's good. I got you." That's what we're missing! Yeah, and you know what they're doing right now? Looking for a double.

43:28 Maybe that dad from Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is available. They're gonna have to find a tall... The problem with this guy, and they may be something to consider in the future you Democrats, don't hire a guy that's tough to do a job that is THAT big and THAT tall But even then you would have Hicks come out and say, don't worry everybody. I agree where's Hicks? No, I'm not arguing about what you just said we're getting the double. I'm just saying what they're more concerned about is finding it double or haven't come up with the reason for him to die Well, first of all Occam's razor says this happened and prostate cancer is of course horrible And men died from it Yeah You know this is not something that unfortunately

44:15 So, I wish him no ill but despite the mess ups they're just making it worse by not having the second in command come out while we're so-called at war in Ukraine. So called at war in the Middle East We've got the Red Sea situation. Got everything popping off and we don't have anybody saying Don't worry about nobody! Not even a standin You know, we got Kirby going all blahblahblahblahblahblahblah. Poor Kirby! You know he may have been a good friend with this guy and he's probably beside himself because if the Russian story is true and the guy is dead...

CHAPTER 14 / 46 Discussion

Mike Johnson and Chip Roy Debate Military Spending Bill

Speaker Mike Johnson is negotiating a $1.66 trillion spending bill with the White House that includes nearly $900 billion for the military. Representative Chip Roy criticized the deal, arguing it spends more than the previous "disastrous" Nancy Pelosi omnibus bill and fails to secure the U.S. border. Roy expressed frustration that Republicans are not using a continuing resolution to trigger automatic spending cuts.

mike johnson· chip roy· gop· border security· spending bill· nancy pelosi

44:52 or badly injured or wounded and whatever. And now we have House Democrats? This is obviously, what we're getting fed bullshit by the media and nobody cares to look into it So this backdrop here is that there's a proposal now that has I think been negotiated between Mike Johnson speaker of the house Republican Mike Johnson and The White House for the spending bill which includes over or almost 900 billion dollars for the military but lacks any specific budgets for Ukraine, Israel and the much discussed well we've got to change the border.

45:39 You know, that was supposed to be a fait accompli. It's like unless you change the policy at the border we're not going to sign off on any money for these two wars that were not involved in financing paying for and so the first clip I have is Chip Roy from Texas And he was on Glenn Beck and he's pissed about this. First of all, greetings from West Des Moines Iowa where it's I think a balmy 20 degrees outside but uh... and the snowstorm coming in but the real snow storm coming in is coming into D.C that's going to hammer the American people The Republicans doing exactly what they always do which would be party of excuses A party that will never find a way not to contingently spend more money than we don't have and rack up more debt

46:25 So what are we doing now under speaker Johnson right new speaker more the same garbage? We're gonna have a bill. It's one point six six trillion dollars that is almost I think it's about 58 billion dollars more than the disastrous Nancy Pelosi omnibus bill the Republicans opposed a year ago it is 100 billion dollars more and Then what we would get if Republicans have the spine to walk onto the House floor and send a simple year-long Continuing resolution over the Senate it would trigger The cuts all of the albeit a meager in the debt deal last summer It would trigger cut that. We could get 1 point 5 6 2 trillion in spending they won't do that

47:09 Because they're all in the hip pocket of all the lobbyists and they hide behind our military. And now, we're not going to get the border secure? We're gonna spend $100 billion more than we have to? We're gonna increase spending over the Nancy Pelosi spending deal? And Republicans are gonna go try to sell you and the American people that that's somehow a win! Don't believe them! This is what the American people are tired of?! Now look I'm gonna call balls-and-strikes I call balls and strikes on Kevin. I'm gonna call balls and strikes on Mike as speaker People should call balls and strikes on me. That's the way it works. Yeah, tough guy tough guy chip so Balls and strikes I'm calling balls and strikes but it appears that there's a gambit afoot

CHAPTER 15 / 46 Discussion

Proposal to Seize Russian Assets for Ukraine Reconstruction

Washington Post reporter Josh Rogin discussed a strategy for the G7 to seize $300 billion in frozen Russian assets to fund the long-term reconstruction of Ukraine. This plan is intended to provide political cover for Republicans hesitant to vote for more direct aid. Critics argue that seizing these assets opens a "Pandora's box" regarding international financial law and sovereign property.

josh rogin· ukraine· russia· g7· reconstruction· frozen assets

47:52 And this is one that I predicted and I think it may be happening because the information now comes from Washington Post reporter Josh Rogin. Wapo, wapo, wapo! Josh Rogen? Yes. The actor? No, r-o-g-i-n. Rogin He's from Wapo and he was on the John Batchelor show and he brought up a strategy which makes total sense In light of, you know... Both the Uniparty and Washington DC does not actually want to fix the border. We know this! That's why it hasn't happened They want it they need it the bankers want it we need people coming in we needed for a whole bunch of reasons but mainly to be able to print more money because there are people here who need money and then we printed money for everybody we need liquidity open the borders so what do we do with Ukraine?

48:47 Remember that $300 billion of Russian money? Presuming that this goes through at the G7 meeting in February, it has to make they're working on a presentation now. Is any of it to be used for armaments for what they need now to get through the winter or is it all going to be designated for rebuilding? Right, that's a key distinction. This would only be used for mid-to long term rebuilding and reconstruction. It would not be used to fund the war effort And so it does not replace the need for Congress to also pass billions of dollars in additional new military, economic and humanitarian assistance for Ukraine just to get through this year. What it can do is provide a political cover for Republicans who are scared of backlash from the GOP base

49:29 and also give Americans a reassurance that there's an end to this commitment, that when it comes time to rebuild Ukraine there'll be a pot of money that will be sitting there. Now how that gets done? There'll have to be a mechanism, it will have to be some sort of organization to distribute it make sure doesn't all go into corrupt coffers and all of that. That's a multi-year effort all by itself so this is a very complicated set policies that never really existed before. But first you have to have the political will to do it and that's been the problem is that the Biden administration didn't want to do it, they know that Europeans didn't want to do it but now they really have little choice because if this is the way to get some Republicans at least

50:10 those who want to support Ukraine but are scared of political backlash to vote for the Ukraine aid, then that's really the most important thing right now. So it was always a good idea in my view and now it is politically expedient one as well." It's at that level. First of all, I don't know who is clipping the John Bachelor show for you but that's pretty wild as someone would be that dedicated But am i getting this right they're gonna steal the Russian money? Yeah! That you said would never happen I said it would never happen because it's just, it's opening Pandora's box. Hello? If they take and steal this money, It is not your money! No... hello?! What do you think- look Would you rather that they steal it from you in taxes or inflation? Let them steal it from the Russians everyone will be happy. Eh damn Russians You're gonna have to pay the Russians back for this. Oh! They won't really be stealing anything But that'll be for Trump to do when he wins

CHAPTER 16 / 46 Discussion

Yvette Clarke Comments on Migrants and Redistricting

Representative Yvette Clarke of New York stated during a session that her district in Brooklyn needs more migrants to assist with redistricting purposes. Clarke argued that her community has a "diaspora" that can absorb a significant number of people, leading to criticism that the open-border policy is being used for partisan demographic shifts.

yvette clarke· brooklyn· migrants· redistricting· census

51:15 They don't care. At this point, they don't care but I think it's... Well this is you get right a continuation of the basic thesis that i think that we somewhat agree on which is they're going to screw up as much as they can knowing Trump's getting in no matter what you do and put him in there let him fix it yeah give it to him We'll see you in 2028 when Nikki's a Democrat or whatever, or Gavin Newsom. Or whoever! Yeah she's a Democrat already hello? Whoever... Did you see the fundraising in Silicon Valley I sent you one of them- I get these things Yes Draper! He's one of the big supporters Oh goodness gracious I did get this really funny clip that was on The X Of New York Congresswoman Clark She's a democrat and

52:09 She said, hey keep the border open. This is good for me. I'm from Brooklyn New York we have a diaspora that can absorb a significant number of these migrants and when i hear colleagues talk about the doors of the inn being closed No room in the inn. I'm saying, you know, I need more people in my district just for redistricting purposes and those members could clearly fit here." Wow! She just said it. Bring those bodies in. I can use them for redistricting. They have a clip about the school don't they? In New York? Yeah...

CHAPTER 17 / 46 Discussion

Michelle Obama Podcast Interview and Election Speculation

Michelle Obama participated in a high-profile podcast interview, fueling rumors that she may enter the 2024 presidential race. The Daily Caller published a provocative headline regarding her "big package" for Democrats, which the hosts critique for its juvenile innuendo. The discussion centers on the potential for the Obamas to influence the upcoming election cycle.

michelle obama· daily caller· 2024 election· barack obama· podcast

52:57 I don't know. These are very poorly organized today, and they've got a lot too many clips to problem What is what is going on here? It's something's wrong with you mayorka in the promise. They started clipping too early in the week Oh that's bad I know you have to clip at the last minute otherwise you end up with a mess. By the way, Michelle Obama just speaking of Democrats did this hour-long interview yeah and everyone saw it and everybody's saying she's running she is running! You were right Big Mike 2024 big mic 20 for 2024 dot com everybody She's running she's running And it was Daily Caller who had the best headline and opening graph

53:39 Quote, Michelle Obama has a big package for Democrats this election season. Oh brother! Former First Lady Michelle Obama revealed her huge package on a podcast Monday that could help Democrats hold onto the White House in 2024 She's ready to fill up Democrat strategy sessions with a new twist on the same old tactics as she and her husband prepare to double team America with more fear and division Who wrote that? You should be shameful. We're not even that juvenile! No, we're not... That is so bad. The clip is great New York City moves immigrants to schools. Gage Clipper. Gage Clipper wrote that

CHAPTER 18 / 46 Discussion

James Madison High School Used as Migrant Shelter

James Madison High School in Brooklyn was temporarily closed to students and converted into a shelter for 2,000 migrants during a severe storm. Students were forced into remote learning, sparking outrage among local parents. New York City Mayor Eric Adams has warned that the continued influx of over 160,000 migrants could "destroy" the city.

james madison high school· brooklyn· eric adams· migrants· remote learning

54:21 Yeah, oh Gage Clipper sure. What? His old buddy named Gage Clipper? That in itself has got some sexual innuendo. I loved it! It's like boy you guys are really going all out just go beyond anything the No Agenda guys would do and that's crazy But yeah, I don't want to switch topics if you have other things. No, you got the clip is great New York City school thing. Great is the word. Okay let's do that. Students out and illegal immigrants in New York City has decided to turn a high school into a temporary shelter for illegal immigrants and the decision is forcing students into remote learning entities Jason Perry reports from the high school

55:11 I'm here in front of James Madison High School in Brooklyn, New York. And last night on Tuesday night almost 2,000 illegal immigrants stayed in this high school overnight and because of that the students who usually attend school here won't be learning anything today on Wednesday they'll be taking their classes at home remotely The reason these illegal immigrants stayed the night here is because New York was facing a severe weather alert of heavy rain, potential flooding and winds around 70 miles per hour. And given that they were staying in tents 2,000 families with children moved to the high school out of an overabundance of caution

55:51 The city had heavy rains and high winds overnight on Tuesday, but it's been clearing up on Wednesday. Local elected officials are arguing that this problem was foreseeable due to vulnerabilities during severe weather and that the location at Floyd Bennett Field was not a good place to set up an immigrant shelter And how are the parents feeling about the move? The New York Post reported that at least one woman, said to be a local parent shouted at the illegal immigrants as they arrived at this high school. Moreover what about working parents who want their children to have adult supervision while they're at work

56:28 Many questions remain. Since mid-2022, over 160,000 illegal immigrants have entered New York City a so called sanctuary city and many of them have been bused from Texas. New York City Mayor Eric Adams said the increase could destroy New York City. Yeah! New York City? That's like saying destroyed democracy New York City will be destroyed. It's coming from Adams! It seems so obvious now, the way it unfolds and just presuming that you know politicians don't run they just do whatever they're told everything goes to crap Trump becomes president and signs a whopper of stimulus and then refinances the whole country would be perfect to refi

CHAPTER 19 / 46 Discussion

Taylor Swift and NATO Influence Operations Presentation

A 2019 presentation at a NATO cyber defense conference featured Taylor Swift as an example of a "social influencer" who could be used for influence operations (IO). The presenter, Alicia Marie Bargar of Johns Hopkins, discussed using celebrities to counter misinformation and promote behavior changes, specifically mentioning health and voting. The timing of the presentation is linked to Event 201 and subsequent pandemic-era public health campaigns.

taylor swift· nato· johns hopkins· influence operations· event 201· vaccination

57:24 You know, he's a refi guy. Yeah now you might go to international criminal court for overvaluing the United States but... So there was this other outrage which also squarely fell on our camp which was the Taylor Swift NATO op-op did you catch this? I caught part of it, but i didn't really pay much attention because i'm kind of sickened by the Taylor Swift op in the first place. So even Jesse Watters you know like oh Taylor Swift! You know they were NATO would want to use her as an Op and they play this very very short clip which to me is always like that stinks let me go look at the full thing

58:12 And it's actually, if they had taken three seconds to evaluate what is really going on in this clip. It is much better! So the idea here as a presentation at the NATO... Let me see I have the 11th International Conference on Cyber Conflict also known as CYCON organized by the NATO Cooperative Cyber Defense Center of Excellence. And so they have this young woman and she's presenting influence operations, IO, influence operations and how you can use them and she talks about utilizing famous people which duh! And they have a picture of Taylor Swift Now had these

59:07 Well, Jesse Waters is M5M but this was a lot of this was and of course everyone tagging me. You were right! No it's much worse than that. The woman who's presenting it's Alicia Marie Bargar or Bar-Gar and now listen carefully she is a research engineer at Johns Hopkins There we go Even more interesting This clip is from 2019 August 2019 We are now talking just a few months before the pandemic.

59:46 Now it becomes a little more interesting if you listen a little bit before that short clip and a little bit after here's the intro finally You wanted to came in here wanting to understand how you just go out there and countering that information what? He's got that same cadence then the you know, the advertising whatever you want to call it the Lisa Monaco She's part of the milieu of these douchebags. Oh, it's much worse remember August 2019 Finally, um Johns Hopkins You came in here wanting to understand how you just go out there and counter an information operation. Well, this is kind of the last step. The network interventions are actually developed within the public health domain. And so these are the ones I'm going to give you are going to provide examples from health. So the idea is that social influence can help encourage or

1:00:48 promotes behavior change. And the theory here is essentially that this sort of approach works as well with regards to misinformation. It's important to recognize that this could be, you know, this isn't ethically concerning thing to go out there and try and change hearts and minds but it's important to think about how would we actually do this in a way that would work with people so potentially as like a peaceful information operation So she's talking about information operations She's talking about health Well, that's interesting. Then from health remember 2020 election year from hell she goes to politics with Taylor Swift So the first one that's the most famous and the most Most common is working with famous people or main influencers to share information a particular message so I include Taylor Swift in here because she's You know, she's fairly influential online person. I don't know if you've heard of her but

1:01:49 But she's actually, this is a cropped image but she's standing next to you know go vote sign. And actually celebrities at least in the US regularly will post pictures of themselves with an encouragement to people to go vote and this has a measurable effect on voter turnout Now when it comes to countering an IO the particular message one needs to consider whether or not the you know opinion leader actually wants to share that message because it may or may not be popular and they may or May Not know how to share it without Accidentally increasing more in misinformation. However, this is one that's a relatively accessible and understandable approach very successful understandable because

1:02:29 information influence operations are normal fair, normal fair. And now she's talking about health in August of 2019 she's talking about voting in 2019 and And let's just bring it home, Johns Hopkins. Finally alteration changing individuals or relationships within a network this isn't necessarily as you know to make it more clear think of vaccination this is actually education or teaching people particularly those in prominent areas from which they could spread misinformation how to recognize and counter it themselves can help

1:03:12 and can help stop misinformation in its place. They were ready, they were ready for vaccination hesitancy they were ready for health issues they're ready for an election year this is rife! And you know I just used Taylor Swift probably don't they probably can afford Taylor Swift but this is... They were ready for this isn't it around the same time as event 201? Event 201 was the uh... This was 2019 August 2019. I was about to say, it's within a six month event which is also Johns Hopkins. Don't forget the map! August 25th 2019 was Event 201 and don't forget the map The map? Yeah remember the death map that Johns Hopkins released? And the numbers well they had the numbers every day. Big globes all over the place

1:04:15 The death map. So Johns Hopkins is bad news? Well, seems so. That's where our the guy that used to listen to our show for a long time even though he hated the fact that we were Trump haters. He was out of Johns Hopkins finally at the end. Speaking of economic hitmen influence operations Norman Lear influencer numero uno would you believe this He got saved one year before his death at when he was 100. And what did he say? Well, I mean...He got in under the wire! He won't go to hell! Yeah we don't know that. You haven't visited hell?! Where's the last time you went to Austin?

CHAPTER 20 / 46 Discussion

Bret Weinstein Discusses COVID-19 Narrative and Podcast Power

Bret Weinstein appeared on Tucker Carlson's program to discuss the failure of the COVID-19 vaccine narrative. Weinstein argued that a small group of dissidents used podcasts as a "countervailing force" to bypass mainstream media control. He warned that the World Health Organization is currently revising pandemic treaties to ensure they can silence such voices and mandate global health policies in the future.

bret weinstein· tucker carlson· covid-19· world health organization· podcasting

1:05:12 There you go. So I got some Brett Weinstein stuff that... Oh, I was hoping to stay away from that but you had to go with it. Believe me my clips are well chosen Let me ask you a question is that guy's forehead jacked with Botox or what? I don't know what his problem is It's not moving! I'm not a big fan of his No, I'm not either. Eric I can tolerate little more. I like Heather So Brett was on Tucker and Johnny references eluding me his wife Bret Weinstein's wife. Oh, yeah Well have mentions her in here, but I don't think she was on here with him where she no No But I like her

1:06:02 the podcast much more. Yes, yeah. Brett why is your forehead not moving? Peter Griffin after he falls on the ground okay um yeah this is Brett Weinstein on Tucker talking about the Vaxx now what irks me I mean his analysis is great but somehow Brett throws himself into the mix oh he loves doing that As though he had something to do with anything. Oh no, he's the one that debunked COVID He warned everybody for the vaxx, he did not No, he was like all in. He was provaxed Yeah I know it's very odd So i find these annoying these clips but I have them because I think he makes a couple of points maybe you know he's like maybe touching the truth here and there and this is worth listening to they're not that long except for the last one which is or no the second one which is kind of long but here we go Even if the thing had turned out to be harmless nobody could know that it was so it wasn't safe and for them to assure us that it was was a lie from the get-go

1:07:05 That's what caused Heather and me to start looking into it, and the deeper we dug the crazier the story got. Not safe and ineffective in fact harmful and shockingly ineffective at everything that you might want it to be effective at so The story is a...an odd one The fact that small number of dissidents was able to upend the narrative was able to bring people's awareness to the massive levels of harm and the ineffectiveness of the shots is in some ways, um, the most surprising element of this story. And I think it truly surprised Pharma and its partners in social media, in government, non-governmental organizations

1:07:51 I think they thought that they owned enough of the media, that they could sell us any narrative they wished. And I think surprising as it is, they didn't really understand that podcasts could possibly be a countervailing force of significance Wow, welcome to 20 years later Brett. Has he repented anywhere? He said hey you know I was wrong in the beginning... No no! He's just walking waltzing right- I mean it would be okay if we said even i thought in the beginning well vaccines you know this Well a lot of hot shots have done exactly that

1:08:36 And it's fine to do that. For some reason, he's kind of like one of those guys who can never say was wrong. He's just one of those professorial type that just can't say he was wrong and in fact goes just the opposite and says well you know I was probably right all along. Yeah exactly. Go podcasting! So go podcasting. So he goes on with a little more of an elaborate spiel here in this clip. Podcasts could possibly be the best invention ever, a countervailing force of significance if you own NBC News, it's enough, you would say. All righty. You know, it's failing to update from the buying by the barrel still forism.

1:09:20 So what happened was... Let's just stop. Yeah, I have to say something about this. Do you know what the buying by the barrel aphorism is? I have no idea what that is! Yeah, I figured The buying-by-the-barrel aphorism which I don't even know if Tucker knows what it means but it's an old saying that used to be Don't talk about getting into beef with a publisher Don't get into an argument by someone who buys ink by the barrel Oh, interesting. Gosh, thank you for that! That's good knowledge. That's an old journalism aphorism and so he just tosses it out there in kind of a lackluster way and I thought immediately that no one is going to know what he is talking about when he says so. So I felt obliged to explain it but the funny thing as I started thinking about that

1:10:12 the buying by the ink, buying ink by the barrel because on the internet there is no ink. So we all have the ability to buy ink by the barrel now because it's all just... Well, hold on a second. I mean now you're making a fallacy because people believe that their phone is the internet and that Facebook Twitter Instagram That's the Internet People have- We have an entire generation who don't know how to publish on the internet Other than well taken. Now let's go back and I would like to point out that it was right at the beginning of COVID that I started because it's not podcasts were owned by Apple, Apple started throwing people off around 2019 in concert with Facebook and Twitter and everyone is throwing these guys off. That's when I started podcasting 2.0 so Brett Weinstein

1:11:14 The reason people can hear your podcast is because of me. If it wasn't for me, no one would give you credit. That's right! Thank you. Where's my Nobel Peace Prize? Podcasts could possibly be a countervailing force of significance. If you own NBC News it's enough You would think... It's failing to update from the buying by the barrel aphorism So what happened was it turned out that a number of us were willing to make mistakes and correct them in real time, to talk about this in plain English with... Wow!

1:11:52 A number of us, us truth seekers. We were out there on the cutting edge. Can you imagine? Oh goodness gracious! I mean comparing what he did and how he did it to like Sherry Tenpenny and some other people... How about our show within two weeks we're at the absolute beginning of the whole thing but caught it early And that's okay because I don't need be on Tucker telling him how great we are I would, but if he asked me...I wouldn't do that. We just cared about our own people that's all we cared about and to do so you know in Joe Rogan's man cave and the fact is people listened because of course this was on everybody's mind and what they were supposed to do to protect you know they've been terrified and then what to do to protect your family's health was a question that everybody wanted to know the answer too

1:12:43 So, our ability to reach millions of people surprised those who thought they were just gonna shove this narrative down our throats. And this gets me to the WHO, the World Health Organization and its pandemic preparedness plan modifications What I believe is going on is the World Health Organization is now revising the structures that allowed the dissidents to upend the narrative, and they are looking for a rematch. I think what they want are the measures that would have allowed them to silence the podcasters, to mandate various things in

1:13:27 internationally in a way that would prevent the emergence of a control group that would allow us to see harms clearly. So, that's the reason that I think people as much as they want to move on from thinking about COVID Maybe stop thinking about COVID, but do start thinking about what has taken place with respect to medicine. With respect to public health with respect to pharma and ask yourself the question given what you now know would want to relive a pandemic like the COVID pandemic without the tools that allowed you to ultimately in the end see clearly that it didn't make sense to take another one of these shots or have your kids take them. You're national treasure, Brett! We want those tools and we need them and something is quietly moving just out-of-sight in order for us not to have access to them

CHAPTER 21 / 46 Discussion

Podcast Index and Decentralization Efforts

Adam Curry discusses the ongoing development of Podcasting 2.0 and the creation of a decentralized podcast index. This initiative was launched in response to platforms like Apple and Spotify removing content during the pandemic. Curry emphasizes that hundreds of developers are working to ensure the medium remains resistant to corporate and government censorship.

podcasting 2.0· adam curry· decentralization· apple· censorship

1:14:21 time we face a serious emergency. Wow I'm so happy you brought this clip bullcrap! But, I fixed that it's fixed no that's the point this is one of the reasons for the clip then it's not me it's all bunch people but I'm just saying... You may have been sensing this same thing he's discussing that actually happened after you sensed it And it probably took place during the weirdness around Alex Jones in particular. That's exactly why! It was a concerted, I mean it was a conspiracy... Literal conspiracy. They took off X-22 report by the way they... Oh right, I forgot all about x 22. The Spotify takes off at least two shows a day yeah

1:15:09 But now it's meaningless with the podcasting 2.0, I think... Yes! And I just thought that his way he sees it is pretty much a confirmation of what you already did Yeah Which is, I'm not here to just compliment Caesar but there you have it. No and what I want to say there are hundreds literal hundreds of software developers who have their own day jobs and they've been working on this for the past three-and-a-half years amongst other things for this very reason

1:15:49 That's why they joined up. It was like, this is bullcrap! Apple has taken stuff down. It is not reliable so we had to create a new index and were now in the process of decentralizing it So they can't come and take it away There you go. Let us get to part 3 Its almost impossible to exaggerate how troubling what is being discussed In fact I think its fair to say that we are in middle of a coup that we are actually facing the elimination of our national and our personal sovereignty, and that is the purpose of what is being constructed.

CHAPTER 22 / 46 Discussion

WHO Pandemic Treaty and Climate Change Health Emergencies

Critics of the proposed WHO pandemic preparedness treaty argue it would grant the Director-General the power to declare climate change a "public health emergency." Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus recently stated that food systems contribute to 30% of greenhouse gas emissions and advocated for a shift toward plant-based diets. Over 130 countries have signed the COP28 declaration linking climate and health.

world health organization· tedros adhanom ghebreyesus· climate change· pandemic treaty· cop28

1:16:33 written in such a way that your eyes are supposed to glaze over as you attempt to sort out what is under discussion. And if you do that, then come May of this year your nation is almost certain to sign on to an agreement that in some utterly vaguely described future circumstance, a public health emergency which the Director General of the World Health Organization has total liberty to define in any way that he sees fit. In other words, nothing prevents climate change from being declared a public health emergency that would trigger the provisions of these modifications and in the case that some emergency or some pretense of an emergency shows up, the provisions that would kick-in are beyond jaw dropping

1:17:31 So I hope he explained how it works because we've covered it extensively. It's the pandemic preparedness treaty, the World Health Organization treaty does goes on and on which was is already in place and the thinking is that they can update that without having to be ratified again like a EULA Yeah exactly you like a US or that said this would set this sort of idea in place within the document says we can change it And so once you agree to that, they just change it right from under you. Pull the rug out right from under ya! Now he has a point about the climate change I don't think we played this clip is from a couple shows ago This is Ted Ross who knows all about DEZ Our food systems are harming the health of people and planet Food systems contribute over 30% of greenhouse gas emissions and account for almost one third of the global burden off DEZ's

1:18:27 But forming food systems is therefore essential by shifting towards healthier, diversified and more plant-based diets. If food systems delivered healthy diets for all we could save 8 million lives per year Nordic countries have been trailblazers for many policy breakthroughs, including for linking climate and nutrition. WHO is committed to supporting countries to develop and implement policies to improve diets and fight climate change. Last year under the leadership of the Egyptian COP 27 presidency

1:19:10 WHO and our partners launched ICANN, the Initiative on Climate Action and Nutrition. The ICANN baseline report currently shows low integration of climate and nutrition in policies, in funding mechanisms and particularly in the private sector. I'm therefore very pleased that over 130 countries have signed the COP28 UAE declaration on Climate and Health. Together, we can protect and promote the health of both people and planet. I thank you." So you already nailed it. Stop eating beef go eat your bugs World Health Organization biggest donor has always been The Gates Foundation here's Bill Gates to back it up! I'm here in July and of course I flew in on my private jet very very important meeting the issue of you peasants eating bugs

CHAPTER 23 / 46 Discussion

David Icke on Food Scarcity and Global Control

David Icke discusses the targeting of farmers in the Netherlands, the world's second-largest food exporter. Icke argues that the government's efforts to reduce farming capacity are designed to create scarcity, which leads to dependency and greater state control over the population. He links these actions to broader global agendas targeting energy and food chains.

david icke· netherlands· farmers· food supply· control

1:20:09 We'll be discussed at length. That's never gotten the attention it deserves, the issue of COVID-19 not killing off enough poor people and my vaccines not weeding out the rest to you bastards which is a tragedy of course. We'll talk about using killer robots next on chat absolutely solve that problem This is okay. Now you're the one bitching about AI and now you're using it for this show? Well, this is the only good use of AI! Hello- I have... This is the only good use. The only good use of AI. Here's a to follow up on the Tedros clip here is David Icke

1:20:47 Ike, yes. Also on podcasting 2.0 these days. The Netherlands the second biggest exporter of food in the world is targeting farmers to destroy them and get them off the land which is where all these farming protests in the Netherlands have come from at a time of food shortages and supply chain problems you are targeting the second biggest exporter of food in the bloody world to destroy its farming base why are you doing that? If people depend on you for what's left of the food, you control them. Where food is abundant and cheap, you do not control it. Where energy is cheap and abundant, you do not control it. Scarcity equals dependency equals control. And that's why they're targeting the food chain, they're targeting energy supply, they're targeting everything."

1:21:41 Yeah, and this flows right into the big German protest which is now turning into a strike. A multi-country strike! Here's how Deutsche Welle characterized it just their intro alone tells you that... Pay no attention please! Farmers across Germany have begun a weeklong strike to protest at the government's plans to cut agricultural fuel subsidies Lawmakers have already rolled back that decision after weeks of angry demonstrations. Protests planned for the next seven days include rallies that will disrupt traffic in several regions, a procession of tractors is expected to block off a central road here in Berlin as farmers bring their frustrations to the government's doorstep. Okay blah blah blah blah meanwhile and I'll give her this...I've never been a big fan but I'm starting to like her more Eva Flardingerbruch

CHAPTER 24 / 46 Discussion

German Farmer Protests and European Trucker Strikes

Farmers across Germany have launched a week-long strike to protest the government's plan to cut agricultural fuel subsidies. The demonstrations have expanded to include truckers and workers from other sectors, with support coming from Dutch, Hungarian, and Polish farmers. Eva Vlaardingerbroek reported from the protests, stating that the movement is a reaction to politicians who are disconnected from the working class.

1:20:47 Ike, yes. Also on podcasting 2.0 these days. The Netherlands the second biggest exporter of food in the world is targeting farmers to destroy them and get them off the land which is where all these farming protests in the Netherlands have come from at a time of food shortages and supply chain problems you are targeting the second biggest exporter of food in the bloody world to destroy its farming base why are you doing that?

Okay blah blah blah blah meanwhile and I'll give her this...I've never been a big fan but I'm starting to like her more Eva Flardingerbruch

1:22:32 You know, she's the one that pops up everywhere. She is the darling of the alternative media and I even write just alternative media. I'll give it to her! She was out there in the snow on on the big highway talking to the farmers, truckers people waiting behind and I pulled the clip. And this is the most frequent highway in Germany, actually Europe to be honest. So it's not normal to stand here but no we are sick of lies and trying to get rid off our jobs. It's not only farmers it's the lorry drivers, it's the normal workers everybody

1:23:14 sick of politicians who have no idea what they're talking about, who have no education to tell us how our lifestyle should look like. And this is the result of four years trying talking to them on an equal level but they won't listen and now we have no other choice than to demonstrate. And it's our right, one of the highest rights especially in Germany. Demonstrate that we are not violent or friendly as you can see a small gap in people can drive through, police ambulances everybody can come through but this is only the tip of the iceberg to be honest because all over Germany we have... This is the west where Dutch farmers coming over to support us. We have Hungarian farmers

1:24:11 Polish farmers and we are all united in getting rid of politicians who are trying to get rid of us. So I'll give it to Brett Weinstein there, indeed. You only hear this on podcasts and the Polish... so it's not just the farmers now, it's the truckers, bakers and they're sick of it! And of course we have the rise of more conservative politicians in Netherlands just had Geert Wilders and you know immediately the media Brands that is far right. You're far, right in Germany Oh No We got to take it even for we can't have the alternative for Deutschland there I've day We can't have those guys starting to take over far-right Alternative for Germany has been surging in pre election polls riding a wave of anti immigrant sentiment officially the party calls for faster deportations of declined asylum seekers and illegal immigrants

AFD Party Investigation and Re-migration Controversy

The Alternative for Germany (AFD) party is under investigation after reports surfaced of a secret meeting where members discussed "re-migration," a plan to deport residents of foreign origin. Investigative outlet Corrective published footage of the meeting, leading to calls to declare the party extremist. The AFD claims the proposal is not part of its official platform, while the government continues to push for increased immigration to solve labor shortages.

afd· germany· immigration· re-migration· corrective· far-right

1:25:08 But this week, investigative media organization Corrective published hidden camera footage showing that AFD might be considering forcing out citizens as well. In November, AFD leaders secretly met in a hotel with donors and members of neo-Nazi movements to discuss what they called re-migration It involves a large-scale deportation project targeting German residents of foreign origin deemed insufficiently assimilated, even if they have citizenship. This shows that even high ranking AFD politicians have expressed radical right wing positions in a closed room – things they would never say publicly.

1:25:51 AFD said Wednesday that re-migration would not become part of its official platform. Nonetheless, the party remains fiercely opposed to immigration even as the German economy minister has called for increased immigration to solve a shortage of workers. The AFD faces risks for its far-right stances. The party is under investigation in several states and at risk of being declared extremist which would exclude it from elections Those are your Nazis! You're Nazis go away you can't be in the election you're Nazis You want to deport people. I'm sorry, re-immigrate whatever that means Yeah so the media is not good for your health people It really isn't and they do not care about you or themselves That's too dumb only the dumbest people get into these jobs now it seems Oh, we haven't even discussed that Can i go back to AI for one second?

Boeing 737 Max 9 Door Plug Blowout Investigation

An Alaska Airlines flight experienced a mid-air blowout of a door plug at 16,000 feet, leading to an emergency landing in Portland. The NTSB found the door plug in a teacher's backyard but revealed that the cockpit voice recorder data was overwritten. Investigations have since uncovered loose bolts on other Boeing aircraft, leading to a crisis of confidence in Boeing's quality control and a shift toward Airbus by some pilots.

boeing· alaska airlines· ntsb· 737 max 9· portland· quality control

1:32:38 Well, you're wrong. What do you mean? You're wrong about less seats versus more seats Oh yeah no that's right we have it just the opposite but I have a we do have a note from a guy they could bring it up several we haven't know from a guy and It was the idea was to have more legroom. It was just a no No, hold on this is what he said yep. I know but this is where I disagree You need to have one emergency exit every 50 passengers Every fifty seats right so The reason they didn't have that is because there were less seats. Right, but the reason for less seat was to get people more legroom? Up front maybe

1:33:17 You see, all seats count. Not just the seats in the back I think it's for the first or business class Believe me no airline in their right mind is saying oh, I want to give people more leg room Well, I'm not gonna argue that Okay I'm just saying this kind of what he implied but a lot of them implied that That's not what this clip's about okay This clips about something What was the... Now this plane took off do you remember? It took off, how long was it in the air before that thing blew out? Uh it was at 16 000 feet so um uh I don't know probably 20 minutes 15-20 minutes. And they flew right back yeah they turned around immediately and flew back which I understand was 18 minutes to get back Yeah that makes sense So

1:34:07 Tell me how it works with this particular report. This is the Alaska Air BS AC. This morning, the door plug that flew off an Alaska Airlines flight in midair leaving this gaping hole behind now found after a three-day search The NTSB locating it in the backyard of a Portland schoolteacher The discovery coming as authorities reveal no data can be pulled from the cockpit voice recorder because it was completely overwritten At two hours, it re-records over it. So we have nothing from the CVR? That's correct! It wasn't in flight for two hours! Oh... 20 minutes up 18 minutes back where is the 2 hours?! Very good well yeah someone messed up there This is a coverup

1:34:59 Well, I'm hearing maybe the cover of you may have suggested which is a pilot error. Well so here Here i'm getting more information and and i'm just this is all information i'm getting from people who are aviators And I trust them some people will I mean i'm gettin emails like you're discrediting the show i'm a pilot It's okay. He said same guy! No, it was just a different guy because... Blunk him! Because no no actually that guy ended with hey man I saw you on Rogan with your witness to God there god bless okay first he yells at me um it appears that this is so when it comes to the pressurization

1:35:43 There's two systems. Pressurization is automatic, but there was a failure notice and then there was a second failure when they switched to the second system which would kind of be hey can you breathe? I can breathe yeah i can breathe it's fine You feel okay because you know you'd be talking about hypoxia And they were 16 000 feet so at sixteen thousand feet year you have ample time to do something uh you're not out of oxygen at sixteen thousand feet It starts to get a little wonky after a while But it appears that these bolts, that they were either not properly installed after maintenance or from the factory for the door plug and that the door was probably leaking. And that's where the warnings came from so there was all kinds of issues

1:36:28 But what I'm hearing now from Air Force and Naval airmen is they're all giving up on Boeing. They're all training on Airbus because they want careers after their service, they want to be on Airbuses. There is a huge distrust of Boeing in the aviation community and we've always talked about it could be sabotage for all you know. We've always talked about Airbus versus Boeing and Boeing has had a couple of problems Well now they're inspectors are going out and finding these bolts are loose. Loose bolts, yeah! How does that happen?

1:37:04 There's no quality control, a control at Boeing makes no sense. Is it sabotage? Because you this is revisiting something from listeners years and years and producers. This was over a decade ago that you brought forth for this thesis because we stopped. We started to see planes dropping from the sky first of Boeing and then an Airbus in a Boeing than an airbus. That's right. It would be one for one. Would we keep in score Yeah, as if it was like okay you... It's like watching the mob. You know you killed Billy so Vinny has got to go So it was like that

iPhone Survives 16,000-Foot Fall from Alaska Airlines Flight

An iPhone sucked out of the Alaska Airlines flight during the door plug blowout was discovered on the ground in Oregon, completely intact and still functioning. The device was found by Sean Bates, who noted the screen was not cracked and it still displayed a baggage claim message. The hosts express skepticism regarding the lack of reporting on the owner of the phone or the passenger whose shirt was reportedly ripped off during the decompression.

iphone· alaska airlines· ntsb· portland· aviation

1:37:47 Well then there's this story. And for anyone who ever dropped their iPhone and had a crack, a head scratcher tonight. Sean Bates from Oregon out walking he found one of the iPhones sucked from that plane at 16 thousand feet. He called the NTSB the screen was not cracked in fact it had a message about the passengers baggage incredible. Incredible is right come on Okay, I believe it's possible. No, I believe it's possible but why not get the person whose iPhone it is? If it's unlocked you can see who it belongs to get that personal... this is the same as where's the kid whose T-shirt got ripped off his body Yeah, who was that? Where's that? That bothers me too although they're so lazy

1:38:35 Yeah, he found an iPhone. What? The guy... Why don't you get ahold of the guy?" It's too much work! And who knows all of this could be bull I mean I love how calm everybody was with that big gaping hole That was pretty amazing that was a very calm cabin and it was like oh well You seem to be saw at least one or two people shrieking We don't have any of that And supposedly, and this was another weird one. The decompression event was so severe that the cockpit door blew open! That's not supposed to happen! Yes that is right, it was reported. Reinforced you know? So people with box cutters can't get through. Oh boy we're getting real deep now all over and we can't trust anything because the reporting is so poor

Unsealed Jeffrey Epstein Documents and Prince Andrew Allegations

A final batch of unsealed documents from the Jeffrey Epstein case was released, containing depositions from Virginia Giuffre and Ghislaine Maxwell. The records detail allegations that Epstein paid Giuffre to have sex with Prince Andrew and other high-profile figures like Les Wexner. While Donald Trump was mentioned in the depositions, Giuffre stated she did not see him engage in improper behavior.

1:39:30 All will be revealed this year. This is the year of the big reveal! I'm telling you, it's all gonna happen...all this is gonna happen. Yeah. I got some uh, I got this report that Epstein last doxed. Oh goodness Another distraction of the week. It's a good one though! Yeah, I'm all in. The newest batch of unsealed Jeffrey Epstein documents released Tuesday show the high costs allegedly paid for sex with a teenager Virginia Dufresne an Epstein accuser said Epstein paid her $15,000 to have sex with Britain's Prince Andrew in 2011 She says she was 17 at the time

1:40:13 Prince Andrew has repeatedly denied they had sex. He has also denied that he ever met her the 1482 pages released are the last set to be made public They include several depositions from Ghislaine Maxwell one from Epstein one from Jouffre and another from Sarah Ransom an alleged adult victim of Epstein the records are part of a defamation lawsuit brought by Jouffre against Maxwell, Epstein's longtime companion. The case settled in 2017. Included in the heavily redacted documents are allegations Jouffre was directed to have sex with other high-profile men such as Glenn Dubin, a billionaire hedge fund manager and billionaire retail magnate Les Wexner

1:40:57 Both men have denied Dufresne's claims. Former President Trump was also identified in the depositions. Dufresne said she met the former president but didn't see him doing anything improper, but Ransom claimed in 2016 emails to a New York Post columnist that Trump was involved in Epstein sex trafficking. She later retracted the claim in a follow-up email The world is in so much peril in so many ways, but yet this is what occupies everybody. Yeah well the better part of this is what Jim Gaffigan said at the Globes Oh hold on a second So Gaffigan goes up to give some awards out and uh... And this is what he said I can't even believe that I'm in the entertainment industry! I can't You know it's so unlikely

CHAPTER 30 / 46 Discussion

Golden Globes Highlights and Mainstream Media Decline

The Golden Globes featured Jim Gaffigan making a joke about not being a pedophile, which drew comparisons to Ricky Gervais's past hosting performances. "Oppenheimer" and "Barbie" were the night's big winners, though the hosts argue that mainstream award shows are losing relevance. They also criticize the practice of giving podcasting awards to repurposed public radio shows.

golden globes· jim gaffigan· taylor swift· oppenheimer· barbie

1:41:51 I'm from a small town in Indiana. I'm not a pedophile You know, I just I don't know if that's a new category here But we decided we were not gonna watch that like this really but didn't want to watch it It just didn't and now I missed that that's pretty funny He's doing a Ricky Gervais there. That's pretty yeah, he pulled one off you got Rick got away with him There was some bells or did somebody also? Was up there insulting Taylor Swift. Oh, that was there that was the host Yeah, this was terrible I mean did you watch it you watched the golden you watched The Golden Globes? I watched all these awards show what I did is I had it taped now Okay So you sped through all the boring with any so I heard and I heard about the gaffigan thing So I went and got that and then the rest of it I talked to some people who watched the whole thing And they told me but to look for wasn't a good gaffigan thing was the main thing was anything else was any good

1:42:49 No, were there any with any movies that we had heard of? That's the main thing Yeah Oppenheimer won most of the awards and then Barbie went a couple yeah And then there's a couple other things in most of the same old same olds are all sitting there in the audience mm-hmm and you know Meanwhile wasn't that it wasn't really that much of a killer event now No one cares anymore the entertainment business in the mainstream. I think is dead I don't even know why Taylor Swift goes to that Why is she going she got suckered into going because they created a whole new category for her eros movie? She won Did you win, I don't know and be honest about him but whatever the case is yeah

1:43:36 I look at these things and say, well these guys are shooting themselves in the foot because for example the Emmys give out more of the awards go to cable shows. They don't broadcast TV is given a short end of whatever's short. The stick, they're given the short end of the stick and they give everything to cable. Cable have their own awards! I don't get why they're doing that? They should be on broadcast TV. They should be promoting broadcast TV with awards. Yeah but isn't it... streamers as well. Podcasts for example, the podcasting awards being given to people who are just repurposing old PBS shows that they shouldn't get any awards for that! That's why we should do podcasting award and do it right. So the Podcasts Hall of Fame Awards or induction ceremonies taking place in a couple of weeks in Florida at PodFest

Peregrine Lunar Lander Mission Failure

The first U.S. lunar landing mission in over 50 years, the Peregrine Lander developed by Astrobotic Technology, suffered a critical fuel leak shortly after launch. The failure prevents the craft from reaching the lunar surface as planned. NASA has subsequently announced delays to its Artemis program, pushing back the next crewed mission to orbit the moon until 2025.

1:44:37 Podfest. Yes, and our buddy Michael Butler being inducted into the Hall of Fame and rightly so I think rightly so did he ask what you've been doing that show forever? He asked you to induct him no well he asked me And I declined so I'm not gonna know he didn't ask me anything oh if he thinks I'm a schmuck I guess No, he loves you when are you talking about well? You could have asked me. I would have done it boy you go to Florida Yeah Puh-lease. And meanwhile, the firmament still impenetrable... The first U.S mission to land on the moon in more than 50 years is in jeopardy tonight just hours after this morning's launch Astrobotic Technology, the private company behind the mission said the unmanned spacecraft developed a critical fuel leak The issue could prevent the Peregrine Lander from touching down February 23rd as planned Yeah it's not gonna make it of course It's gonna crash land

1:45:37 Yeah, yeah whatever. They can't do it... But there's nobody in it so it could be launched? Well there is a DNA you know some company who does a burial on the moon for you So they had ashes and DNA of former presidents. Well he's gonna get buried deep It's not gonna crash into the moon You don't think its even on his way? No! You dont think its even launched? They cant get past the firmament no way And now, on the heels of that... A commercial robotic mission to the moon will not make it to the lunar surface. As NPR's Jeff Brumfield reports, the probe has suffered a critical failure The small probe was launched on Monday by the company Astrobotic Shortly after reaching space it ran into trouble The company quickly realized that the spacecrafts propulsion system had sprung a leak causing

1:46:32 tumble. They've regained control but have continued to lose propellant, they now say they only have enough fuel to operate for about another day and a half." The mission was the first of a series of NASA-backed commercial flights to the moon. NASA hopes that these companies will one day ferry equipment and experiments to astronauts on the lunar surface. Separately, the space agency announced it is pushing back its first mission to send astronauts to orbit the moon since the Apollo program. It will be delayed until 2025 Jeff Brumfield, NPR News. Driving around in the lunar rover. What was that what it's called? It was called the Rover? Yeah, the Rover! Yeah driving around and like a dune buggy bouncing on the moon it was great not a problem now the richest guys in the world can't make it happen The season of reveal is upon us Everything will everything's gonna come out

CHAPTER 32 / 46 Discussion

Media Comparison of Trump Presidential Immunity Hearing

A "3x3" comparison of ABC, NBC, and CBS coverage of Donald Trump's federal immunity hearing shows nearly identical framing. All three networks focused on a hypothetical question from Judge Florence Pan regarding whether a president could order SEAL Team 6 to assassinate a political rival without facing prosecution. The hosts note that the media avoids discussing Barack Obama's authorization of drone strikes against American citizens while focusing on Trump's legal arguments.

1:47:57 And quantum computing is going to be the next big thing. I know that you are now starting to see what i'm seeing No, I mean I saw something but i'm not still not in into the...I'm not all-in because it's such a laughable technology Let's do a 3x3. Oh, that's a good idea! The never-ending story. That's right, John has three clips from the big networks ABC NBC CBS and we're going to compare them do they come from one talking point are they from the White House is there collusion or is it just dumb dumb journalism? Well as we pointed out in not this last newsletter but the one before they will have a producer that is an ex major major

1:48:53 media network news director and retired yes and told us that basically they get all the stuff from one main same source the same clips they get it just here's your tape go put it together put your own guy or gal in there good to go Yes, and that's what we're seeing with these clips. What is the topic for today? This is about the judges at Trump federal judge story that it'll reveal itself with the ABC clip Today Donald Trump looking on in court as his attorney tried to convince a skeptical panel of judges That the former president should have complete immunity from prosecution For trying to overturn the election he had lost this was essential argument from Trump's lawyers

1:49:36 to authorize the prosecution of a president for his official acts. would open a Pandora's box from which this nation may never recover. Never! Judge Florence Pan immediately challenging that argument Could the president sell pardons or sell military secrets? Those are official acts, right it is an official act to grant a pardon It is an official act to communicate with the foreign government Trump's attorney claiming a president must be impeached and convicted by Congress before he can be charged with a crime. Could the president order SEAL Team 6 to assassinate a political rival? That's an official act in order to seal team six, he would have to be and would speedily be impeached and convicted before the criminal prosecution judge pen pressing again could a president who ordered SEAL Team Six to assassinate a political rival was not impeached. He'd be subject to criminal prosecution if you were impeached and convicted first answer is yes

1:50:33 The special counsel prosecutor pounced. I think that is extraordinarily frightening future. Trump sat there emotionless, often taking notes and passing them to his attorneys He did not appear to make eye contact with special counsel Jack Smith who was also in court But he nodded emphatically at times And when it was all over, he addressed reporters The president has to have immunity

1:51:16 And the other thing is I did nothing wrong. We did nothing wrong." in our country who are, who are psyoped by this. Who now think Trump might use SEAL Team 6 to kill his rivals? I love that one! How do you even come up with this theory? Oh, SEAL Team 6... You don't need to have the Chinook go down to assassinate someone with SEAL Team 6 That's crazy What's interesting is-I'm surprised nobody brought up the fact that Obama

1:52:04 had authorized the killing of two American citizens. Yeah, dad and his son. Dad and his son? And then also I think there was another guy killed in the process that was not... If Trump was found guilty of any of this stuff, I don't see why some Republican can get in office and then find Obama guilty of premeditated murder. They should have also mentioned that you know Obama killed SEAL Team 6 we all know that yeah there's that also that yeah minor point supposedly. So let's go to the same report NBC

1:52:41 Tonight, a ruling expected any time from the federal appeals court which appeared deeply skeptical today of Donald Trump's efforts to derail the case about his attempts to overturn the 2020 election. I did nothing wrong absolutely nothing wrong as president you have immunity so they reverse the report and put the ending at the beginning Yeah, okay. All right The Republican frontrunner watching on in court as his lawyer John Sauer urged the three-judge panel to break new legal ground and find the former president immune from prosecution Emphasizing everything he's been charged for took place when he was still in the White House We have the prosecution of the chief political opponent who is winning at every poll

1:53:29 and is being prosecuted by the administration that he's seeking to replace. While the Justice Department argues nothing in the Constitution supports shielding Mr Trump from prosecution now, never before has there been allegations that a sitting president has with private individuals and using the levers of power sought to fundamentally subvert the Democratic Republic and the electoral system? It would be awfully scary if there weren't some sort of mechanism by which to reach in criminally. Judge Florence Pan, a Biden appointee posing stark hypotheticals on what a future president could do if Mr Trump's view prevailed. Could the president order SEAL Team 6 to assassinate a political rival? The answer in Sowers' view yes so long as the president was impeached and convicted first pending much of his argument on the Senate acquitting Mr Trump

1:54:20 at his 2021 impeachment trial, a position DOJ cast as frightening. What kind of world are we living in? The president has the constitutional role but he is not above the law. Yeah, Ned same clips they just reverse the order it's pretty good I think honestly from an editing standpoint I think it was good to bring in the Trump thing first, get that out of the way and not leave it last. But the ABC...I liked The Seal Team 6 at the beginning better. I think that would have kept people watching if I was to edit this. Well they definitely scrambled these but those exact same clips just scrambled let's go to CBS which still maintains does the best job of creating a dramatic moment

1:55:11 After arriving in a motorcade through the rain, Donald Trump sat in the front row as his attorney argued the 2020 election conspiracy criminal case against the former president must be dismissed. To authorize the prosecution of a president for his official acts would open up Pandora's box from which this nation may never recover. A trial judge rejected his claim of presidential immunity last year, saying a former president doesn't enjoy a get-out-of-jail free card which the prosecutor echoed today The President has a unique constitutional role but he is not above the law The appeals court appeared skeptical too with one judge calling it paradoxical for a president to swear an oath to uphold the law yet be allowed to violate the law

1:55:56 Judge Florence Pan posed a pointed hypothetical to Trump's attorney. Could the president who ordered SEAL Team 6 to assassinate a political rival, who was not impeached... ...he be subject to criminal prosecution? If he were impeached and convicted first! The judges also pressed Trump's attorney when he acknowledged the former president could be charged if he had been convicted by the Senate at his 2021 impeachment. If Donald Trump could have been impeached and convicted, and therefore could be prosecuted then how can they argue immunity at the same time? It is a contradiction

1:56:34 Though he claimed he was forced from the campaign trail by the case, Trump appeared in court voluntarily and addressed cameras at his former DC hotel after. I feel that as a president you have to have immunity very simple. Same clips all the same it's all the same. You know they're making... Well it also brings up and I'll reiterate my comment about why hasn't Obama not been indicted for murder? Who cares I do. I don't want him murdering people! No, I understand that but we... That's old shows Here's the mistake they're all making The media in particular if the Curry-DeVore Act Consulting Group If they could afford us if they could hire us We would say they're using the wrong words They keep saying Donald Trump tried to overturn Overturn, overturn The word they want is overthrow They're making a mistake here Overturn is a legal process

Lauren Boebert Restaurant Altercation Reports

Reports surfaced regarding a physical altercation between Representative Lauren Boebert and her ex-husband at a Colorado restaurant. While Jason Boebert initially claimed he was a victim of domestic violence, Lauren Boebert's campaign denied she punched him, and no arrests were made. The hosts dismiss the story as tabloid gossip.

lauren boebert· colorado· domestic violence· daily beast

1:57:34 If it was violent, they should use the word overthrow. The first one to do that is smart because it's just... Well, if fits into what their real narrative is I agree with you that would be a much better use of the much better term to use if we were doing political consulting That's what we'd advise Because we know what we're doing Meanwhile, this is the drivel that your M5M shovels down your throat all day long. An investigation in underway in Colorado following reports that Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert got into a physical fight with her ex-husband at a restaurant. A source tells The Daily Beast that Jason Boebert called police claiming he was the victim of domestic violence. Police confirmed the investigation last night. A statement from Lauren Boebert's campaign said she did not punch her ex in the face and no one was arrested. So dumb!

Civil Unrest and TV Studio Raid in Ecuador

Ecuador's President Daniel Noboa declared a state of "internal armed conflict" after gang members stormed a live television broadcast and took staff hostage. The violence followed the prison escape of gang leader Adolfo Macias. Noboa has designated 22 criminal groups as terrorist organizations and plans to deport foreign prisoners to reduce overcrowding in the nation's prisons.

1:58:25 So dumb. You know, I believe this is all true but she seems like the type No, if that means...I don't want to generalize but she does seem like the type and I think reports are out today that didn't happen Why is this news? Who cares who cares? It's gossip it's TMZ Yes then well That's what has become now what should happen is this. I mean, i'd love to see this happen in American television studios. Tonight this is the chilling moment armed men stormed the set of a public TV channel in Ecuador firing off guns and waving apparent explosives during a live broadcast The studio crew taken hostage for at least 15 minutes on air as the country watched

1:59:14 Police later surrounding the station, arresting several suspects. And across Ecuador fiery blasts rocking multiple cities this one engulfing a police car The wave of violence beginning just hours after Ecuador's president declared a state of emergency following a prison escape by notorious Los Choneros gang leader Adolfo Macias The government battling with what they say are at least 22 different criminal groups angered by that state of emergency Tonight, authorities say at least seven police officers have been kidnapped. Ecuador once known as one of South America's most peaceful countries seeing an explosion in recent years of organized crime related violence linked to Mexican drug cartels

1:59:58 And David, that state of emergency will remain in place for at least 60 days which gives the country's military the right to enter some of the prisons there. Criminals inside of which responsible for so much of the violence we've seen recently The footage was really interesting So this gang breaks in and they shoot a couple shots in the air and they all got hoodies on They're throwing gang signs and then the audio guy is out there micing him He's like, hold on. Hold let me mic you up I want to get it all right. He's putting the lavalier on That's great. Now I have the same Ecuador report but it is kind of slanted differently. It is pretty much the same, but this is NTD so to be different. Put into context. This is NTD. Ecuador's president says the country is at war as drug gangs hold more than 130 prison staff hostage. Police have made dozens of arrests and confiscated weapons, molotov cocktails and ammunition

2:01:01 We are practically living in a state of war against terrorism. These are not organized crime groups, they are terrorists who are financed by drug trafficking, trafficking in people organs and arms on Tuesday armed gangs unleashed a wave of violence around the nation and the worst of these incidents gunmen with explosives stormed a TV station on air police arrested the men The violence prompted President Daniel Naboa to name 22 gangs as terrorist organizations, to be hunted by the military. The violence began after a major gang leader apparently escaped from prison over the weekend Ecuador is planning new high security prisons for gang leaders. The president plans to release two of the designs tomorrow

2:01:51 He also plans to begin to deport foreign prisoners, to reduce prison populations. The Biden administration is monitoring the situation. Oh! Send him here? Send them up north. That's about right, but Wow when did when did Ecuador go from becoming the darling country of John Perkins the economic hitman guy yeah and in a potential Landing point for Julian Assange or Snowden whoever would know Snowden I guess hmm To this, what changed? I don't know but right next door El Salvador they got rid of all of that. It's now become one of the safest countries. Well, El Salvador is nowhere near Ecuador. I thought it was near Ecuador No, El Salvador is in Central America Where's Ecuador? It's in South America They're not neighbors? No. Ecuador is on the west coast of central... of South America

Laura Ingalls Wilder Medal Name Change

The American Library Association stripped Laura Ingalls Wilder's name from a major children's literature award in 2018 due to perceived racism in her "Little House on the Prairie" books. The hosts discuss the ongoing trend of removing historical names from awards and speculate on future targets for similar actions.

laura ingalls wilder· little house on the prairie· racism· american library association

2:02:52 Peru. All right, well people you don't have to send me emails about how stupid I am. Hmm okay it's next to Honduras and Guatemala that's what i was thinking of Guatemala another fine country so I got that poster of me from the American Library Association which our anonymous librarians so kindly sent Yeah, that's great. It is very nice and from that somehow we were talking about Little House on the Prairie I don't know why well? I don't remember exactly why either but first of all there's a huge little house on the prairie Community there's a podcast The walnut grove cast oh yeah, but here's what she said little house on the prairie they had a There was an award

2:03:46 The Wilder Medal was stripped. Her name was stripped off of the award in 2018 because of racism in her books. Oh, please! How about that? When is the Mark Twain Award for humor going to be kicked off and changed into something else? You know what? That's a good idea. Yeah it's about time. We need to get rid of that. And who accepts the award must be a racist. Yep yep clearly I had an interesting continuing advertising war going on between the pharmaceutical companies. I'd like to play these two, as you know Eli Lilly has decided for their death-bound...I'm sorry Zepp bound product that they will go direct to consumer. I think they even purchased a telehealth outfit to do this? I'm not sure

CHAPTER 36 / 46 Discussion

Pharmaceutical Marketing War for Weight Loss Drugs

Eli Lilly has launched "Lilly Direct," a website allowing consumers to obtain prescriptions for the weight loss drug Zepbound via telehealth. In response, Novo Nordisk and other health advocates have warned about the dangers of buying "counterfeit" or "black market" versions of Ozempic online. Sharon Osbourne is cited as an example of the extreme weight loss results associated with these medications.

eli lilly· ozempic· zepbound· weight loss· telehealth· sharon osbourne

2:04:46 But it doesn't really matter because telehealth is, I mean we saw this the rise of telehealth during COVID and all you need is just for some dude to say you know some doctor dude. I think can just be a provider or whatever you can be an RN or You could just say yeah looks like that you just go through a couple of questions online And then they see will prescribe it to you So NBC had the pro Eli Lilly ad, which is couched as a news story. Both Ozempic and Manjaro are drugs for treating diabetes but also used off-label for weight loss. Wigovi and ZepMound are now the approved versions of the two drugs... There you go there's discrediting of the competitor that oh they're off label that you don't want to use then most popular drug everyone in the category is known as Ozempic

2:05:38 Yeah, this off-label. You really want to have the approved drugs bound you want deathbound approved the two drugs Specifically intended for fighting obesity but as Lynn discovered securing a prescription for any of these drugs Can be a challenge Eli Lilly CEO Dave Rick says his company is now trying to change that I think a lot of people think of obesity as an issue willpower. It's not, you know 40% of adult Americans have excess weight or obesity that's a big number from here the pharmaceutical giant today launching Lily Direct website where patients can find a doctor in person or via telehealth who can if appropriate prescribe certain medicines among them Zet bound which can then ship directly to the patients door obviously they're going to be questions from people about

2:06:28 safety, about oversight. Can you explain the role of physicians and just health care professionals in this? It's a critical part of how the site works and these drugs need to be used under the supervision of a physician and we're just offering more choice in that regard. Are these independent physicians will they get any kind of incentives for prescribing Zep-Bound or your drugs How does that relationship look? Yeah, key question. There is no financial relationship between us and the physicians or the online telehealth platforms In clinical trials patients taking ZepBound lost 21% of their body weight Approved by the FDA in November Wall Street analysts expected to bring in billions of dollars in sales this year Alright so we need to combat this as Novo Nordisk We can't have this these guys are weaseling it up...we pioneered this

2:07:18 This is bigger than the whole GDP of our country. Yeah, they're muscling in! Yes so if the Curry-Dvorak Consulting Group were asked to have a counter campaign and with focus on television and we need some online components what do you think that we should do? Find someone who died from the other product Well that would be great but we don't want to discredit the whole sector We want to make people afraid of online Online Oh, that's a good strategy. Yeah and I tell you why don't we get Sharon Osbourne because she had such success with our product let's have her do a slickly edited and produced mini show

2:08:04 where she can discredit everything that comes from online and just make sure you use Ozempic which is she would she use it look at her, she's as skinny as a rail. With so many people turn into Ozempic for weight loss its Danish manufacturer launched WeGoVie a near identical jab approved specifically specifically for weight loss. The NHS has recently approved its use here in the UK, but there's no strict rules on how doctors prescribe it including crucially ensuring patients make lifestyle changes too Generally if you have a BMI of 35 which is above being obese or you can have a BMI around 30 plus have a couple health related issues such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels

2:08:51 Whilst having this criteria is important, it does make Dr. Ince worried that people who really want to get their hands on it will seek to buy us MPIC or WeGovi without medical supervision on the black market. People will become frustrated they will find a way around and that has now developed the black markets for these unverified, untested compounds that are claimed to be semi-brutal. People have become malnourished and very sick. You need supervision by a qualified healthcare professional, a doctor The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency recently launched a campaign warning about the online sale of counterfeit medicines, including weight loss injections. Being able to get access to these weight loss drugs off prescription could have serious consequences not least for those with eating disorders So we know that people with eating disorders who are often obsessed about losing weight they'll try anything and will find it far too easy to find these jabs online

2:09:54 From the people I've spoken with today, you realize that these drugs can be very helpful to people who want to lose weight. But they can have very serious consequences if used in the wrong circumstances. They're easy to get hold of online and it's worrying that counterfeit jabs are available on the black market too." So, they've introduced black market online, counterfeit, get rid of the compounding... You need to do this officially! Do this the proper way people! Do it like Sharon who looks like death warmed over. I'm sorry she does not look good

2:10:32 I'm sure when she looks in the mirror, she disagrees with you. And I remember her as this roly-poly British housewife in 1988! Now it's unhealthy the way she looks really... Well that anorexics keep seeing themselves is too fat. Someday happens to your brain where you look at yourself and go, still too fat It's horrible. I mean this is a horrible disease. A mental disease So, anyway we do have a Hail Mary from the French. Macron is just not cutting the mustard and no one likes him he's making all the wrong moves

gabriel attal· emmanuel macron· france· prime minister

2:11:18 And so they need to bring in a fresh young face. France now has a new prime minister and a young one, that's 34 year old Gabriel Attal the former education minister is now the youngest Prime Minister in recent French history he's also the first one to be openly gay Attal it is going to replace Elizabeth Boehn who resigned Monday after almost two years in the job Now that cabinet reshuffle had been in the works for some time now. Macron's hoping to give new momentum to the last three years of his presidency that have been rocked by a series of controversial moves over pensions and immigration. There you go, he's 34 years old young guy handsome guy first one to be openly gay like we like that's important to know yeah

Screen Time Impact on Toddler Sensory Development

A study published in JAMA Pediatrics found an association between high levels of screen time in children ages one to three and increased odds of sensory processing differences. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends zero screen time for babies under 12 months. The hosts debate the severity of these findings and the challenges parents face when using screens as a "babysitter."

screen time· jama pediatrics· toddlers· sensory processing· autism

2:17:40 claim to be making? I think they're probably making close to whatever they're saying they are making. I'm not going to disagree, 52 million dollars in three years this one... where was it? Where was this? MC now has an AI version and the AI version will do anything! She can afford to buy an AI company This is better than hooking Yes but it's so destructive for young men It really I mean, we used to have to go out in the woods and hit our magazine. And put it in a plastic bag and put under leaves. I don't remember doing that! No... Go on what else you're going to confess? That's all we had but that was it. We shared one magazine. Oh look at this oh man that is great. Look at this now kids are blowing their lunch money on this stuff

2:18:38 Stop it. Yeah, especially the AI version Oh that's just dumb yeah but this is what it's become I mean And of course it starts because parents are putting their kids on the screens at an earlier and earlier age. In fact, America's most trusted and favorite doctor had a bit about this on ABC Good Morning America. All right let's talk to America's favorite doctor shall we? Of course! Alright let's talk about this new study that is taking a look at how screen time can impact the sensory development of toddlers what do we need... Yeah so this just published in the journal JAMA Pediatrics gonna get the attention of anyone with a small child or baby Let me take you through the findings

2:19:18 They did a review of sensory processing data, I'll go into what that means in a second from about 1500 children ages 1 through 3. What they found basically an association not cause and effect between the amount of screen time odds of having a sensory processing difference at 12 months, they had twice the odds of a sensory processing difference when they tested these children around four. At 18 months for each additional hour that odds rate went up by about 23%. By two years of age every hour increased the odds by about 20% according to The Academy of Pediatrics we have to be crystal clear zero screen time of any kind for babies

2:20:02 under the age of 12 months when you're talking about 18 to 24 months of age they're limiting it to one hour and it has to be quality as well as quantity. They are keeping an eye on so shared screen time and what they are watching makes a difference is how much? I'm not going to lie this sent me into a whole panic because have a two-year old at home and there's really I mean some days there's like nothing you can do except for correct here can we please have a right to do something keep you safe. You are right it should not be a guilt shaming issue because sometimes you don't have another choice no, you're on your own and you're stuck.

2:20:46 What is the... I missed the premise. The premise is stop using screens as a babysitter Yeah, no, I understand that's the goal The premise what is it doing to them that's negative They said something about It causes something and I don't know what they're talking about sensory processing issues. What does that mean? That's mean...that they can't, that they're so sucked into the screen that they don't understand how to process the real world with their senses I find that hard to believe Oh John it's so bad

2:21:24 It's so bad. These kids in school, they get... No I know the kids in school that are on the screen too much Yeah they get autism But then they can't walk? Or what? They can't really... their sense of balance is gone? Walking is not one of the five senses They have sensory processing. They can't smell? They have issues with comprehending speech, they've issues yeah with all kinds of stuff Of course this is bad! Look... Well I'm not saying it's good Okay?! I just wonder what the premise is I think I'm skeptical Of what? Of the premise that they can't walk, talk smell. They can't feel right. It probably would have been better if they said your kid will become retarded that would have been better well That makes more sense. That would have been the way to go and with that I'd like to thank you for your courage in the morning To you the man who put the C in Chris Christie's hot mic say hello to my friend on the other end The one only missing John C DeVore

2:22:21 Well, good morning to you Mr. Adam Curry in the morning all ships and sea boots on the ground feeding the air fish in the air subs in the water and babies are nights out there In the morning to the plugs falling out of the air hello there trolls good to have y'all aboard this company That was hard I saw a couple of really small ones scurrying away 1819 1819 for today's count how we on that? 1819 that's right on the money it's pretty good right Yeah. Do you know that 42% of the listeners of the No Agenda podcast listen to all of it? 62% listened to half of it, they're the ones that are going to be voted off the island first obviously. That's actually those numbers are not that bad actually for a three hour podcast this is where you have a response yeah

2:23:22 I think it's great. I did a test on No Agenda Social, had a poll...I used the polling feature and said how many people here on No Agenda Social listen to the show? And the poll was irrelevant because what did i have? Let me see where my poll was 4-8 times a month, about 2 times a month and sometimes. So sometimes had 7%, about two times a month had 4% and four to eight times a month 89%. But that's not why I did the poll! I wanted to see how many people would respond? Now we have 10,000 people on knowage in the social. How many people do you think responded with an answer at all?

2:24:22 Any old poll about a hundred maybe? No, please. Five hundred. In my mind that means we only have five percent of the people on no agenda social who actually care! Well, I don't think people... Look. I would say what you've got is 500 people that at that moment in that slice of time were online most of the people weren't just hanging there or just all the time 10 thousand people on line? No it's not gonna be that. I think that number is higher than I was... I guess 100 So do you think its a good number? I think it's a great number Oh man how can I discredit this if it's a good number What do you want to discredit it Just everybody

2:25:06 Everybody who's posting memes basically, I'm just trying to discredit meme posting. You're just a meme hater! Bad memes and that's what most of them are No not the ones i use. Oh yours are the worst No they're not what do you mean they're the worst? What it was my memes are picked They're selected from selected.

CHAPTER 40 / 46 Discussion

Episode 1623 Art Selection and Artist Awards

The hosts review the artwork for the previous episode, created by Francisco Scaramanga, which featured an alien at a Miami police car. They praise the piece for being hand-drawn rather than AI-generated. They also announce that Dame Kenny Benn has been awarded a "Master of Fine Arts" degree from the show for being the top artist of 2023.

francisco scaramanga· kenny benn· album art· ai art· mfa

2:30:37 Well, think of the show. Think of this show! Yes yes well we also want to thank what are those people called who make pretty pictures for the show? Artists. I got that. The artists who deliver us time and talent in return for the value they receive from the show some of them also give us treasure and donate which we love We always like to thank and highlight the artist that brought us the artwork for the previous episode. Now we had a new word, deputary – that was the title of the show in 1623 – and the art was from Francisco Scaramanga who we hadn't seen for a hot minute he's back! There were a lot of thematic pieces of art

2:31:20 But Francisco really brought it home with the with the huge alien at the Miami cop car Had the shopping bags with 33 on it and I can now go to the no agenda art generator, which is fast Thank you. Sir Paul couture he probably put like some cluster on it He was tired of us complaining about complaining if he's like How does it work now, boys? Yeah he was irked about the fact that he had to do this extra work. It's fast! I love it. It's beautifully fast. At least ten times faster just noticeably. It is great. Really, it's great. I love it

2:31:57 So we chose... Well, we picked this art. You should tell me why did we pick this art? Well I remember okay tell me i don't remember because it's Scaramanga does real art yeah It is not AI Everything else was AI you could see it all over the place pretty much and you in particular of course Yeah We agreed on on this piece because It's like real art. Just like he spent a few minutes doing throwing out these characters This wasn't done by AI from what we can tell if it was in this We don't think so no well and but everything else all the other aliens that we saw on here were all AI aliens And it's not so much that you know I'm not against tools like AI and being Photoshop is it has AI in it, but the stuff? It does you can you could arguably call that AI

2:32:49 But the AI art like you know comics or blogger we've chosen once or twice And he just goes off the road look at all these pretty swirly colors Well, he also had a competitor with scaramangas piece which is aliens in them all mm-hmm Which was clearly AI? Yeah, and it was it didn't have any do different thing that. We've discussed is that no there's no soul yeah soulless soulless oomphless appreciated what Schwatz, Schwattle had done which was some frightening drawing of some guy with a... Yeah you had thing for this piece. Spun up spinach is what it was called yeah well because it was clearly hand-drawn with crayons I don't know what it was done with. That's interesting! I'm seeing some other pieces that I didn't see before did we see? Oh I guess we didn't see the

2:33:45 You know, we had a lot of planes with doors and phones falling out. It's hard to do art that is humorous you know it's subtle I don't think AI just doesn't have humor you know that's not baked into it No, it's not possible Well...not according to Sam Altman But I haven't seen any AI that's hilarious Yeah yeah maybe that's it maybe AI doesn't understand the concept of humor And how could it because I can't understand or learn to understand? Implies a certain human trait so basically I Can't possibly have so it's even worse than a two-year old on the screen That's pretty much. Just don't know it is a two year old on the screens exactly well We liked it was titled et needs new vinyl

2:34:39 It was a good piece, Francisco Scaramanga. We liked it and we should mention that Dame Kenny Benn won the competition last year Oh she was the top artist for all of 2023? Yeah and we've decided... I got a mouse in my pocket Yes You and i largely decided before some time back This is why people should listen to the donation segment We are going to send her since we had the diploma template for the PhD We're going to send her a Master of Fine Arts degree. Wow! For album art design Exclusive, only one in existence Yeah I think... Exclusive? Yeah

2:35:20 Well, it's because we came late to the I mean whoever. I don't even know who won the year before or before or before But she gets the first one but if you did this will continue We'll do this as we go on and I'm wanting to give one also a master of fine arts for website design too To who? Don't say... Oh, this is interesting. How about we do degrees for podcasting? Instead of awards we give them masters, we give them PhDs in certain topics Now there's a time I'm gonna start giving we're giving these away to people who have contributed to the show to an extreme Dame Kenny Ben has Contributed to the show and so is Darren for that matter in some of these other people This is a this is just a reward for their contributions not because we think somebody's podcast is good. I just thought it'd be cool To have a PhD in pre-show dude Ness

2:36:22 Thank you very much. You know, PhD in douchebaggery is something we should consider. There you go! Are you going to give me that? Is it on the way? Is it in the mail? It's coming as a matter of fact now that you got... you figured it out. Thank you very much Francisco Scaramanga thank you to all of the artists who diligently are there during the live show doodling around I thought was gonna sneeze it didn't come I'm sorry. It sounds like you went off the air, dead air! That's what it felt like. Almost happened. This is a damn cedar. Thank you all Noah Artgenerator dot com thank you Sir Paul Couture for making it lickety split and nice and fast thank you Dame Kenny Ben for being the number one for 2023 we'll see how it goes for 2024 We appreciate all of you because that's how value for value works You listen to the show, you enjoy the show

Ah, yes! There's a term that showed up around 1964... Right when i was born. Skyrocketed and peaked around 1980 Wow

The hosts praise the story for its positive vibes and the charming Canadian accents of the rescuers.

3:01:56 One surefire winner, but you never know. Silence Podcaster! Silence the podcasters. Silence the podcasters. Okay well you don't like that one... then you'll like this one Wowow. Wow wow wow wow yeah that's the one. That's the one there's nothing wrong with that nothing at all good work and now it's time for That's right, we're always looking for a good story to keep you...to tide you over with good cheer and good vibes and good feelings until the next NO Agenda show. We don't want anyone to leave depressed at all! It's all just stories people, don't worry about it your life is not affected

3:02:43 You're good. You got your family, you got your friends and now you have a good new story What do we have today John? So I took your advice to make something that was less about someone almost dying Yeah But I couldn't find anything super banal which is what I think of what you are looking for but I found this This is a good new story and I love the accents This is about the moose that was saved Finally tonight A maritime couple is being celebrated For a keen eye And quick action That led to a most Canadian rescue CTV's Alana Pickrell picks up the story. Jolin Lavois spends most of her weekends in her side-by-side, exploring New Brunswick alongside her husband Claude. Typically she rides shotgun and keeps an eye on everything nature has to offer but even after a lifetime in the outdoors... This was the first for us! ...this Sunday brought a brand new experience when she spotted a moose out on the ice She wasn't making any noise or anything like that, she was very quiet A young moose so when we got it and looked down

3:03:43 We could tell that she was just sprawled out on the river, like on the ice and couldn't move. So we knew her legs were fine then at that point but again it was just to try to figure out what was the next step." A few minutes later two peace officers joined the couple as they worked to safely get the moose back onto the bank using a ratchet strap from their side-by-side. At first we were wondering about the ice thickness but then my husband said well you know that animal has to be at least 400 pounds so So he says, I can go on the ice. So yes that peace officer just basically hang onto the straps so that if something like if the ice was to break, he could pull him back." While the entire rescue mission only took about 30-40 minutes it's an experience that will surely last a lifetime

3:04:27 I grew up in the country so like i see those animals a lot and often enough but it was still surreal to see one stranded on the ice. But just to say that we were able to get it not to shore, but on this bank to kind of give it a little pet and you know she be on her way. It was good. Alana Pickrell, CTV News Rogersville New Brunswick I think any good news story that involves moose is always good. I am pro-moose and thank you for that It made me feel good. I think you're right, the accents really... that gave me the warm feeling. A good news story from JCD Happy vibes for you and me And we all feel better now he's done his bit
