About this episode

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson has introduced a standalone $17.4 billion aid package for Israel, effectively killing the bipartisan Senate border bill. The move comes as Texas Governor Greg Abbott and a convoy of Republican governors converge on Eagle Pass, where the Texas National Guard continues to defy federal orders by maintaining razor wire barriers against illegal crossings.

National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan and NSC spokesman John Kirby have confirmed retaliatory B-1 bomber strikes against 85 targets in Iraq and Syria following the Tower 22 drone attack. Meanwhile, Bret Weinstein reports from the Darien Gap on a surge of military-age Chinese nationals, while NATO launches the Steadfast Defender 24 exercise involving 90,000 troops. In the domestic sphere, the House Homeland Security Committee has approved impeachment articles against Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over the fentanyl crisis, and the January 6th Committee is revealed to have used former ABC News president James Goldston to produce their hearings as a scripted miniseries.

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak dissect the media's fixation on Taylor Swift as a potential Pentagon psychological operation ahead of the Super Bowl. The duo explores the "Value for Value" model while Dvorak recounts his experience at the Albany Mallard Club meetup, where he encountered microscopic MEMS speaker technology and rumors of a staged Kelce-Swift romance.

CHAPTER 01 / 41 Discussion

Gouda Cheese Pronunciation, Dutch Exports, Scandinavian Cooking

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak open the show discussing the correct Dutch pronunciation of Gouda cheese versus the Americanized version. Dvorak references a Scandinavian cooking show and notes that Gouda, Holland, is famous for exporting candles in addition to its namesake cheese. The hosts joke about Dutch names and the phonetic differences between European and American English.

gouda· holland· scandinavia· cheese· candles· wooden shoes· adam curry· john c. dvorak

00:00 Oh, right. Right? Right! That's exactly what it is. the Info Mavericks and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region number 6. In The Morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley where now i am wondering whether it's pronounced Gouda or Gowda? I'm John C. Dvorak It's Crackpot & Buzzkill! Well you came to the right show for that That's right Because it is officially Chow-dah Gowdah Ch...chow-dah

00:46 You gotta do the H-H-Howda. The what? The H-Gowda. Gowda? No, it's Howdah! Howdah?! I couldn't hear with all this windstorm going on... Also not just famous for cheese but also famous for...? The small town in Holland. No, no yeah the small town in Holland is Gouda it's famous for its cheese and one other export product can you name the product? Wooden shoes! No! Stropskoffel whatever that pancake is. Hey that's a good one that show title right there stropskoffel uh no candles

01:31 Uh, candles. Didn't you know that? No! Never heard of it Oh my god they export I bet you that Gouda exports more... That more candles come from Gouda than anywhere else in the world Well, the reason I brought this up is because i'm watching a cooking show that Of course you normally watch my watch it's pretty interesting. It's called the scandinavian cook Uh-huh And this guy floats all over the place in scandinavia and he tells stories about one thing or another like the big sausage strike anyway So he says, and he's making some food at the end. He says that I'm going to take any says Gouda. He's gonna put some gouted cheese. You can use a hard cheeser used Gouda. I think Gouda. I never heard that pronounced. I always thought it was good because that's where we pronounce in California when you buy it at the store. Yes. And now it turns out it's not even Goudas Gouda. How do? I would say in America most people say Gouda

02:30 But you say howdy, I'd like some howdy cheese. No, gouda if you don't put the... Howda! You gotta put the G in there otherwise it's not worth it Well, It's not gonna work anyway but no one know if you say gouda or you have to say gooda no one else will understand you in America you got to say gooda. You have to say gooda. Gotta say gooda. But where did the word gooda come from then? Who mispronounced it the first time I mean, come on. People pronounce things differently in different countries. What are you talking about? My name in Holland is Adam or alternatively Edem. Hello Edem! Come here then, Edem!

03:12 Yes. So, and boy did I hate it when people called me Adam! Hey Adam, would you ever eat Adam? Like autumn like a T-U-M-N No that's just the way you say Adam in Holland. Adam and Eva. Well it is obvious what's going down now In this political year of 2024 in the United States we have two teams We have... What is that feedback? What am I hearing You're hearing a storm. That's the storm? It sounds like nails on a chalkboard. It's bad! Here is the strategy, we have the Democrats on one side and their strategy is war kill war Iran war bomb them bomb them bomb them war and they got some Republicans to participate in that And then on the right in this corner over here We have the Republicans

Texas Border Convoy, God's Army, Eagle Pass Standoff

Texas Governor Greg Abbott and a convoy of Republican governors visit Eagle Pass to support the "Take Our Border Back" rally. Media coverage from CBS News characterizes the gathering as "God's Army" and a religious revival, while the hosts describe the event as a staged press opportunity. The Texas National Guard continues to block federal agents from patrolling sections of the U.S.-Mexico border fortified with razor wire.

04:12 Invasion at the border, illegal migrants! And they will do anything possible to keep both of these things going. And I would like to start in my backyard with caravan to take back our border That was caravan of God. Yes, it's Gods army which resulted in a hundred people going to the border this is one of the most exciting rallies we've ever seen. Today protesters from around the country flocked to a small Texas border town event frustration over illegal immigration CBS' Jason Allen is there for us tonight Jason

04:51 Nikki, good evening. This event has been peaceful here today with a lot of these people telling me that they felt called to be here hundreds of them caravan from- By the way notice all the God references how they were called to be here this is their laying it on thick over at CBS. Here today with a lot of these people telling you that they felt called to be here hundreds of them Caravan from Virginia here to this South Texas ranch to protest the Biden administration's handling of immigration issues here at the southern border A small but fervent group of people rallied to take the border back in South Texas. I think we all as a nation want this to end, both Democrats and Republicans. The gathering was part religious revival and part Trump rallying. Let me tell you, I've been watching this and getting some boots on the ground... This is not religious revival by any stretch of the imagination!

05:43 This is Satan, this is CBS trying to make everything out to be. Yeah it's the God's army! Democrats and Republicans The gathering was part religious revival and part Trump rally We need god to fix this because we can't fix this We don't know who these people are They could be are enemies. The rally happened near Eagle Pass where there's a standoff between federal and Texas authorities over border control CBS' Camilo Montoya Galvez is there, the Texas National Guard is blocking federal agents from patrolling this section of the U.S.-Mexico border near Eagle Pass as you can see it has been fortified with razor and concertina wire

06:19 The US Supreme Court has allowed the Biden administration to remove the wire, but Texas Governor Greg Abbott has vowed to keep it in place. Some Eagle Pass residents say they are not pleased with the national attention. I think the political fight is up in Washington and at the Capitol of Texas. It's not down here. At the rally people say they had to be here to send a message If we stay home and sit on our butts We're gonna get mowed over this country will be gone Tomorrow, Governor Abbott is going to be in Eagle Pass with about a dozen other Republican governors. CBS News has learned that there were threats that Border Protection learned about as a precaution moved some migrants out of a processing facility that was nearby. Oh yes so there you go it was as predicted a complete wet turd

07:09 There's nothing going on. Sir Gene is down there and he sent me a couple videos, and you know it was a press event that's all that is It's a small little park That is you know the area where they close it down locked it down Yeah we can't let the border patrol come in And then half a mile further up there's an open gate and three miles further up there isn't even a fence So the whole thing is a farce and today I was waiting for to happen I couldn't get any clips on time of Abbott showing up with a whole bunch of other Republican governors. Of course, yeah this is not political at all oh and the timing is perfect for Speaker of the House Mike Johnson

CHAPTER 03 / 41 Discussion

Speaker Mike Johnson, Israel Aid Package, Senate Border Bill

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson introduces a standalone $17.4 billion aid package for Israel, effectively signaling that the bipartisan Senate immigration reform bill is dead on arrival in the House. During an interview with Kristen Welker on Meet the Press, Johnson defends the move as a necessary response to escalating attacks by Hamas. Critics argue the standalone bill is a political maneuver to decouple Israel support from Ukraine aid and border security.

mike johnson· israel· senate· ukraine aid· kristen welker· hamas

07:48 Republican extraordinaire to pull this stunt. He has signaled that this bipartisan Senate immigration reform bill is dead on arrival in the House as you speak to him do you suspect there'll be anything that can change his mind on that? Well Willie it will be very interesting to hear his answer on that point because yesterday he made this surprise move, he introduced a stand-alone to been calling on Republicans to kill the deal. Basically, he thinks it would be a political gift to President Biden in the middle of this tough re-election campaign I spoke to a top Republican lawmaker overnight who said there is concern about not only what this means for the border deal but what this would mean for Ukraine aid What message does this send? Alright so...what he did here was he ripped apart instead of trying to go through this process

09:00 which everyone was pushing for, was one big aid package for Ukraine and Israel that had to have some border stuff. And they got some border stuff and instead he pulled what we'll now call a Johnson. He said oh no because of course the Speaker of the House introduces the bills Oh No I've got a new bill We're going to send $17.4 billion as if it's nothing That's 17 and half thousand million dollars To Israel Because which is not they're gonna send a big check like publishers clearinghouse and more bombs more pounds more cool stuff that we're making so they had Mike Show up on meet the press this morning with your pal there. What's her name again?

09:47 Kristen Welker. And she asked the obvious question Mr Speaker as you know that bill that you passed in the House would be dead on arrival in this Senate your Republican colleagues in the Senate have said as much so I guess my question is did you propose this standalone Israel aid package to kill this compromise deal in the Senate? No, we've made very clear what the requirements of the House were and that is to solve the problem at the border. Apparently the Senate has not been able to come to an agreement they've been suggesting text should be filed maybe today but we've been told the same thing for months now

10:27 we've been awaiting their action. We cannot wait any longer, the house is willing to lead and the reason we have to take care of this Israel situation right now is because that the situation has escalated of course I mean Hamas terrorists have not relented in their attacks on Israel uh... we're now having a course US personnel being fired upon there and then of course with retaliatory strikes are taking place The heat has been turned up there. Israel has never been in greater need of our support and the House is serious about that, I believe we'll pass this with a wide margin and take care of that responsibility. Oh yeah! So Mike he really relented on that one oh yeah they really need our...never needed more than ever There was a small moment of clarity when he said this.

CHAPTER 04 / 41 Discussion

International Office of Migration, Refugee Logistics, Military Age Men

Reports from travelers at Bush Intercontinental Airport describe groups of refugees being shuttled by the International Office of Migration (IOM) while carrying branded UN bags and wearing lanyards. The IOM, led by former State Department official Amy Pope, is reportedly raising $7.9 billion for these operations. The discussion focuses on the high percentage of military-age men among the migrants and the organized nature of their transport into the interior of the United States.

iom· united nations· bush intercontinental airport· amy pope· refugees

11:27 by your latest poll. The reason the presidency is imperiled, as your opening monologue stated is because this is an abject failure of leadership that the American people are done with this the border has to be secured and the president has the authority right now he doesn't need another act of Congress he could do it right now but he's unwilling to do it And that's the message you'll be hearing over and over again along with all the other great stories of migrants wreaking havoc inside our borders I think what happens now is a couple of things. First, all the immigration is not even through the border or on the ground and remember when you see these videos look at how clean their clothes are

12:11 Their shoes, sparkling clean. No suitcases nothing they're not carrying anything that gets shipped on a big lorry You don't have to carry anything besides the lorry when you have a credit card with a bunch of money in it Well there's that! It's not a credit card its debit cards let's be honest The money is already there its not even credit Its good to go Boots on the ground from one our producers was in the Bush Intercontinental Airport going to LA for business. Ten refugees on the flight all carrying bags from the IOM, The International Office of Migration from the United Nations. They put your logo on them? Yeah! No... Yes they took pictures and then... Oh you gotta put that in a newsletter That is so arrogant

13:00 And lanyards with IOM lanyards. Can you believe it? This is all being shuttled over through, it's all on purpose. It's all by design they're raising $7.9 billion the IOM is through Amy Pope former State Department aficionado. The whole thing and it's that's there's even one part that is even worse, these info mavericks that are just sticking in my craw and I put Brett Weinstein up there not a bad guy but people get directed and you get directed by

13:38 people who send you messages and, you know, you get insiders. We have them all the time they've sent me on wild goose chases before I'd like to mention things like quantum dots. You don't have to mention quantum dots. Quantum dots! But but i do have something else that you will have to mention but we'll do it later okay um So, along with this report from our boots on the ground. Our producer says 90% of the people I'm seeing are military age men and that is what the InfoMavericks are directing you towards The whole idea is to get you to think about this They just changed the battlefield Don't go looking at what's really happening Think about military-age men

14:33 And we've been hearing this over and over again. How did this start? All of a sudden, it's just all military-age men. Oh they're sending Chinese in! They're going to take us over from inside out! So Brett Weinstein was on Talker again to talk about his trip to the Darien Gap This was amazing all of a sudden he's the roving reporter and I pulled a little clip of him And Heather, talking about his thesis. I think Heather's always there! No this is the Dark Horse podcast. I didn't want to pull the Tucker clip. It's more interesting to pull it from the home podcast. So Brett what your thesis after going through the Darien gap? The hypothesis that I want to put forward... I mean hypothesis. Not a thesis! Sorry its a hypothesos. What's the difference between a thesis and a hypothesis?

CHAPTER 05 / 41 Discussion

Bret Weinstein, Darien Gap, Chinese Migrant Hypothesis

Bret Weinstein discusses his trip to the Darien Gap on the Dark Horse podcast, proposing a hypothesis about two distinct migrant flows. He describes a secondary, restricted camp filled with Chinese nationals who appear to be facilitated by the CCP rather than fleeing it. Weinstein suggests this migration of military-age Chinese men is being cloaked by the larger economic migration from South America.

13:38 people who send you messages and, you know, you get insiders. We have them all the time they've sent me on wild goose chases before I'd like to mention things like quantum dots. You don't have to mention quantum dots. Quantum dots! But but i do have something else that you will have to mention but we'll do it later okay um So, along with this report from our boots on the ground. Our producer says 90% of the people I'm seeing are military age men and that is what the InfoMavericks are directing you towards The whole idea is to get you to think about this They just changed the battlefield Don't go looking at what's really happening Think about military-age men

14:33 And we've been hearing this over and over again. How did this start? All of a sudden, it's just all military-age men. Oh they're sending Chinese in! They're going to take us over from inside out! So Brett Weinstein was on Talker again to talk about his trip to the Darien Gap This was amazing all of a sudden he's the roving reporter and I pulled a little clip of him And Heather, talking about his thesis. I think Heather's always there! No this is the Dark Horse podcast. I didn't want to pull the Tucker clip. It's more interesting to pull it from the home podcast. So Brett what your thesis after going through the Darien gap? The hypothesis that I want to put forward... I mean hypothesis. Not a thesis! Sorry its a hypothesos. What's the difference between a thesis and a hypothesis?

15:29 There is actually a slight difference. Hypothesis would be the word you'd use in academia for pretty much the same thing there, as far as I'm concerned they're synonymous but hypo was more and also thesis is something that's produced necessarily so in other words I wrote a thesis or someone have it this is probably more technically wrote it for him maybe mm-hmm well listen to his hypothesis my hypothesis that I want to put forward is that the economic migration that is so evident, that you saw at the first camp. Is actually cloaking this second migration which is traveling a different route which is housed separately and... So I have to add to this. He went to the Darién Gap and he saw two camps one was like South Americans people from Venezuela Ecuador

16:23 you know, hey we want a better life. They said it just like that too. But then there was this other camp where he was not allowed to film and it was filled with Chinese! Which is traveling in different route which is housed separately and which on the ground has absolutely distinct character and is treated in the inverse way by the authorities. They don't want it observed, they can't prevent you from seeing it from the edge of the camp but they do not want you getting any deeper into the thing, they don't want you photographing it and it's not obvious why they would have a different policy, in fact the opposite policy as they did in the main migration so anyway the hypothesis that I wanna put on the table and I'm not saying that

17:08 I necessarily believe that this is true, but i do believe it as plausible. Okay so that means he didn't write it. He's been given this hypothesis? I also want to say at this point...I'm going to change the definition of hypothesis because I can see this coming to conspiracy theory. There you go! The economic migration out of South America is cloaking a migration of largely military age Chinese migrants who are motivated by something distinct from, they're not fleeing the CCP. It's not obvious that they are concerned about the view of the CCP it appears that they're actually facilitated by it but they've left China with the knowledge

17:55 of the CCP and that they have joined this migration, which we now try to talk about as one thing. But if it's two things that will confuse things." So his hypothesis which he doesn't necessarily agree with is that the International Office of Migration is obfuscating These military-aged people, he had a picture of old women was what I saw but okay. These military aged people who have been sent by the CCP which i guess the international office of migration is bringing in to take over the United States from the inside out and all I could think of was the former New York banker who said Adam we always will beat China

CHAPTER 06 / 41 Discussion

China Demographics, US Military Conscription, Path to Citizenship

The discussion shifts to China's declining population and high youth unemployment rates, questioning the narrative that they are sending "the best" workers to the U.S. A counter-hypothesis is proposed that the U.S. is allowing mass migration to create a pool of mercenaries for the military. This theory suggests migrants will be offered a path to citizenship in exchange for service, as domestic recruitment fails and the public resists conscription.

china· h-1b· conscription· mercenaries· immigration policy

18:41 because their population is declining and we have an increasing population not by young people having children and starting families but by open borders. And I think this is a part of it, and I think they want these Chinese They're probably really smart Chinese you know the good ones Who got skills? Who got skills to do stuff?" Yeah, well we can get them those Chinese very easily through the H-1B program. They don't have to sneak into the country especially the skilled ones but how about this for some sort of a counter argument to all this

19:22 First of all, this bit about Chinese losing its population is a bunch of people that are on that bandwagon. But they don't explain the fact that oh yeah they're not going to have anybody working for the old people They can't explain away the fact that 30-40% of young people in China can't get work? There you go! And it's true How does that make any sense within the scheme of things if their population is declining and out of control Yeah Can't get workers I bet they're military aged. Well, they're young people. They're all military aged. The whole thing is we want them here but we have to remember that this was 20-25 years ago you could walk across the border there were corporations there going hey yeah come on over! We'll bring you back at the end of the day How about my hypothesis? Oh alright yours will be conspiracy theory

20:19 The United States has a similar situation to China. We have all these young people that will never put up with being conscripted, it's just not gonna happen. That boat is sailed we're gonna have a volunteer army for the rest of our days of mercenaries and whoever so we'll bring them in over the border hey you want to become an American citizen here's your path join the Army put in four years you can re-up if you want for two more And you'll become an American citizen after your two years duty. We're gonna put you in the army I'm with you and you're going to fight for America. I'm with you on this, and the reason why is because of steadfast Defender 24 state you are you familiar with steadfast defender?

CHAPTER 07 / 41 Discussion

NATO Steadfast Defender 24, European War Rhetoric, Boris Johnson

NATO launches Steadfast Defender 24, its largest military exercise since the Cold War, involving 90,000 troops and 31 member nations. European leaders in Sweden, Germany, and the UK are reportedly using psychological operations to prepare their citizens for potential war with Russia within the next decade. The hosts argue this rhetoric is designed to secure military funding and orders for defense contractors before a potential change in U.S. administration.

nato· steadfast defender 24· russia· sweden· boris johnson· military industrial complex

21:06 No. Steadfast Defender, here's a little backgrounder... NATO has kicked off its biggest military exercise in decades the alliance will carry out four months of drills. Let me play it up because I'm gonna prove your point here. That's the name and it aims to showcase NATO's ability to deploy forces from North America and elsewhere to reinforce Europe 31 NATO members and Sweden are taking part in the exercises which will involve around 90,000 troops. The drills include naval vessels dozens of aircraft and more than a thousand combat vehicles For more now I'm joined by Eileen Matleab She is the research fellow at the Center for Security and Defense of the German Council on Foreign Relations It's good to have you with us This is NATO's biggest exercise that we've seen in decades Why now?

21:58 I think it should be clear that NATO is not acting in a vacuum, but rather that NATO is reacting to what Russia has been doing since essentially 2014 violating the sovereignty of Ukraine. And obviously that has been reinforced by its by Russia's full-fledged invasion of Ukraine starting in February 2022 and that is why NATO is in the process of planning this big exercise, actually the biggest since the end of the Cold War. So this is now underway. This was just a few days before it started and what did we hear all over Europe? This is a psychological operation on the Europeans

22:42 It's Russia and then, oh conscription. Boris Johnson? Oh yes Lieutenant Johnson reporting for duty read my column in the Daily Mail everyone's go like I'm not gonna be conscripted I'm not gonna you can't try conscription is drafting...I'm not gonna do that Then we had Sweden Sweden, oh yeah well you know what the commander-in-chief over there Bidane General Michael Bidane urges fellow Swedes to quote prepare themselves mentally for war. The civil defense minister Karl Oscar Boland stressed that war could come to Sweden! The German Minister of Defense Boris Pistorius

23:23 shared his wild guess that a Russian attack on a NATO country could occur within less than 10 years. The Dutch Admiral Robauer? Oh yes, we need to be resilient! We have to have a whole of society approach They are doing everything they can... ...to get Cold War going And they need to do it now because they need money. See, France just ordered 1.1 billion euros of vehicles helicopters some other pew-pew stuff because they know the minute Trump comes in that gravy train is over This is their last hurrah. They're doing everything they can, they're trying to scare everybody into this and I think you're right! It's like Americans we've given up but no one wants to go into that woke bullcrap We're not going to the army or the air force No! Get some Chiners! I think you are absolutely right That's the deal

24:21 It's all, the military industrial complex is running roughshod on the whole world right now. No one is in control of them they just do whatever they want blow stuff up and then even get the Speaker of the House Johnson to alright you know here 17 billion so it's a tip for these guys but its enough for now just a tip people have to realize This this is what's going on. It's just all military everything we can do for war war war war That's a moneymaker and and it will be very interesting to see what Tucker comes up with who has been spotted in Moscow if he actually goes Why oh yeah, yeah interview Putin that's that's the big rumor Oh Yeah, yeah, well put no run circles around that guy well Putin will get exactly what he wants

CHAPTER 08 / 41 Discussion

Jake Sullivan, Middle East Retaliatory Strikes, Casualties Assessment

National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan confirms that the U.S. has begun a series of retaliatory strikes in Iraq and Syria following the deaths of three American service members in Jordan. Sullivan states the strikes are intended to degrade the capabilities of Iranian-backed militia groups and that further actions are planned. The administration is currently assessing casualties and damage while maintaining that they do not seek a wider regional conflict.

jake sullivan· biden· iraq· syria· militia· casualties

25:15 Yeah, no you will. That's what I meant this whole thing is it's really disgusting and then you know instead of Instead of Bobby just what with this 86? Oh my here Let me let me play this one clip And then I think you looks like you got enough stuff here to cover it But I just wanted to play this one Where is it? In the region here. Yes, this is from our last show just remember we had a huge huge gathering in Congress in the halls of the hallowed halls of Congress and this is what came out of it Mr Zuckerberg you and the companies before us I know you don't mean to get to be so but you have blood on your hands

26:00 No, no Lindsay. Actual blood is on the hands of dead people with 86 military strikes we're just bombing all kinds of- Lindsay has blood on his hands Yes! It's unbelievable. And so, let's get Jake Sullivan out and talking to everybody. Jake, Jake, Jake, how many did we kill? What do we get? What is going on? How'd we do? So the president has been very clear from the beginning which is that when American forces are attacked, we will respond and we've responded several times over the course of the past few months. Then when three Americans were tragically killed, the President ordered

26:39 and serious response which we are now, which is now underway. It began with the strikes on Friday night but that is not the end of it. Not the end! We intend to take additional strikes and additional action to continue to send a clear message that the United States will respond when our forces are attacked or people are killed I mean this message that they keep talking about yeah I think the message is clear You know, especially because you keep saying it but this is not over. At this point we are still assessing the question of how many casualties there were among the militia groups and our military will continue to provide the president with those assessments We do believe that the strikes had good effect in degrading the capabilities of these militia groups to attack us

27:29 And we do believe that as we continue, we will be able to continue to send a strong message about the United States' firm resolve to respond when our forces are attacked. Jake, do you know if any civilians were killed? Do you know if any militant leaders were killed? We do not have at this time confirmation of any civilian casualties our military is looking at that what we do know were absolutely valid targets from the point of view of containing the weaponry and the personnel that were attacking American forces so we are confident in the targets that we struck and I will defer to a final analysis, the question of who was taken out among militant leaders.

28:19 I gotta stop you from these clips. You've jumped from the Texas trucking to now we're overseas all of a sudden with a bunch of stuff in the middle that you just passed over It was kind of a work of genius, but the show's got to go on for three hours. Well my point was this is just two sides of a political coin that's being tossed up in the media and Republicans are all about the border and then you know personally I think You know the war stuff may be a little more important That's where all our money goes too yeah, but that's

CHAPTER 09 / 41 Discussion

Alejandro Mayorkas Impeachment, Fentanyl Crisis, Constitutional Process

The House Homeland Security Committee approves articles of impeachment against Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, accusing him of breaching public trust regarding the fentanyl crisis and border security. Speaker Mike Johnson argues that Mayorkas has failed his constitutional duty, while Democrats dismiss the move as a political stunt during an election year. The process marks the first time in 150 years that a cabinet member has faced impeachment proceedings.

alejandro mayorkas· mike johnson· fentanyl· impeachment· homeland security

28:59 Since we started domestically I wanted to stick with it because i got a bunch of domestic clips. I want to play all right as opposed to jumping into the war already which includes the three by three and over analysis so that attacks with the B1 bombers yes, God Yes And I should just as an aside, and I'll probably mention it but well as in the side. The B-1 bombers aren't even stationed over there they're stationed in the United States. Well are you going to do domestic or? I just have to put this point in okay a b-1 bomber cost $173 000 dollars an hour to operate

29:42 I just wanted to throw that in there if you want to talk about money wasting. Yes, I wanted to talk a little bit about Majorca because Majorca's gonna get impeached and there was another big issue on the Meet The Depressed show that you mentioned earlier because he was on there and she was hounding him about this saying it was political but the reason I would like to play some Majorca clips is because this is actually just for the benefit of the audience This is an amazing historic event to try to impeach a cabinet member. The last time it happened was 150 years ago." And who was that? I don't even know, but it was somebody in somebody's cabinet and there... It was just some, maybe the war guy but I want to start with a Majorca analysis from NTD on Wednesday morning. This is the one impeaching Majorca

30:37 Me, yeah. On Wednesday morning a House panel approved articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas He's accused of breaching the public trust No I see what you're saying that's why i asked You meant this clip Joining us now to explore the impeachment Of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas No you were playing the right clip This one says Mayorka analysis NTD This one says Mayorka analysis NTD? Yeah The other just says Impeaching Mayorka Oh, okay. Well why don't you skip the Mallorca analysis and go back to impeaching Mallorca? Okay, okay... And by the way I think it's Mallorcas. Mallorca is a seaside village in Spain

31:19 On Wednesday morning, a House panel approved articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. He's accused of breaching the public trust and refusing to comply with the law And just hours later House Speaker Mike Johnson accused Mayorkas of being partly responsible for the fentanyl crisis Moms and dads brothers and grandmothers all of us are losing loved ones to a drug that is being smuggled across the border in droves Where in the world is Secretary Mayorkas on all this? He is the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. It's his responsibility to prevent these harmful drugs from flowing into our country." The full house could vote on Mallorca impeachment as soon as next week. Who was that speaking in, uh...in the House? Who was that? I'm sorry couldn't hear you. Is-is the wind THAT bad?! It's that bad! Who was speaking in the House there?

32:14 Who was, who was saying... That was Johnson wasn't it? That's what I thought it was. This is also, they don't care about people dying in the streets They don't! This is all political politics. But they can leverage the fentanyl thing better than they can leverage bringing the soldiers over Yes, now they totally can leverage that and again its part of just let them die so we can talk about it Well, I do not think their that callous but Oh No It's something you can leverage to get some attention to the fact that you're trying to impeach this guy and they're gonna impeach him in the House but it's not going to go anywhere after that. Which, y'know begs the question why bother? Uh but- Hello election year! Hello! Exactly. Let's go to clip two And on the note of how this impeachment is unfolding Democrats are calling this a political stunt What's your understanding of the legality here

33:08 Of course, an impeachment is not strictly speaking a legal proceeding. It is as our founders in particular Alexander Hamilton one of the authors of the Federalist Papers told us that it is a political tool but it's very serious one and as one of the federal courts with regard to these cases involving Mr. Mayorkas has said, look if in fact you in the Congress disagree with what Mr. Mayorkas is doing don't come to us! You have a tool available to you that is the Congress and it is impeachment so

33:50 The courts have basically told the Republicans in the House of Representatives, you have a tool at your disposal. It's up to you to use it that tool is impeachment question Is this the same type of process with an impeachment over president where both houses have to impeach? No, they impeded technically once he or voted for impeachment did your exactly the same yeah house impeaches you and then he goes to the Senate for trial. Oh okay, all right so it's exactly the same according to Johnson when he was grilled by Kristen this morning in a show that you were referring to earlier she was yellowed up again by the way she was really yellowed up

34:39 Yeah, yeah. I saw the hands. They put a little... they try to lighten your hands a little bit too much. No! Not even trying. No no i don't think they're trying. No, I looked at the hands you now you've got me looking at people's hands. You can not look at their hands. You should sit on her hand it is no good So uh Johnson had made that he says, well it's not as political as it was with the Democrats going after Trump because they didn't do all the proceedings. Because you're supposed to go through a series of meetings and committees and blah blah blah about one thing after another before you even bring it to the House. You just don't bring it straight up the way Nancy Pelosi did. So there is so he claims because of procedure there...it's apolitical

35:24 Which is nonsense. Now hold on, let me ask you another question So if they impeach him in the house it means nothing Correct? It's just like you're impeached. That's an embarrassment Yeah but he doesn't get thrown out does he get thrown off the job No Okay Only if the Senate convicts him would he then be fired and maybe served... yeah he's fired yeah so this is not going to happen Exactly All right. Do you want to take the higher ground? You're right, this is all election posturing. Yes But it's historic because it's the fact and that's the only reason I wanted to play these clips because there's a lot of interesting little tidbits The guy that she's interviewing is the guy who was on the impeachment committee against Clinton

36:12 And he's got a lot of experience with this. So, he has some funny things to say that are interesting to note and the fact is if you do have it seems to me you have a guy who is head of Homeland Security a big deal that can't keep fentanyl from coming into the country. He's doing a shitty job and that's what I think the point they're trying to make, I never liked this Mayorkas guy anyway. But you're not House representatives it doesn't matter what we think! This is a fact Can I interject one clip just because we're talking about impeachment?

CHAPTER 10 / 41 Discussion

PBS Frontline, January 6th Committee, ABC News Storytelling

A PBS Frontline documentary reveals that the January 6th Committee hired former ABC News president James Goldston to produce their hearings as a "miniseries" for a mass audience. Goldston describes the effort to make the evidence "pop" for primetime television to ensure viewer engagement. The hosts critique this approach, arguing that overproduction and the use of professional storytellers reduced the legal credibility of the proceedings.

pbs frontline· january 6· abc news· james goldston· bennie thompson

36:52 Yeah. I don't know if you saw this, the PBS Frontline documentary about January 6th? Yeah, I did see it. I'd like to play a little clip here because this accentuates the point of all of these impeachments and hearings just being TV show. Is that okay? Yeah! Go for it. Thompson's committee had gathered a trove of information The challenge, what to do with it. The one thing that we knew was the information that we have is compelling. The thing we needed to do was tell that to the American people in a compelling way so that's why we brought in a former president of ABC News

37:37 Yeah I got a call pretty much out of the blue from the J6th committee. They wanted they wanted a storyteller and while they were brilliant, they were brilliant lawyers storytelling for a mass audience is not what they do To bring in a guy like this who would think outside the box really did prove to be fruitful And it was Goldston who really began to envision this as in a way a kind of miniseries that there would Be you know sort of nine episodes and that these episodes would tackle particular themes The first hearing was primetime television. This is an extraordinary moment

38:24 in American history. When it came to that first hearing, notice the parallel extraordinary moment in American history never impeached a cabinet member and 150 years extraordinary moments investigation this is an extraordinary moment in American history when it came to that first hearing we knew how high the stakes were about to hold its first primetime hearings We were either gonna you know make people realize that this was important You know, or once you've lost them for good. On the evening of June 9th 8 o'clock 1 p.m., the doors opened My heart was beating pretty fast on June 9th and it was a real question of... Can we do it? Is this gonna work or not? Come on team! Alright everybody here we go. Here we go I'm in this tiny control room right up the stairs from Cannon Caucus

39:20 And we count down to the start of the hearing. At that point, what can you do? The Select Committee to investigate the January 6th attack on the United States Capitol will be in order without objection. We wanted to make sure that this was a presentation that would grab the audience and hold onto them Chairman Thompson loved to say it's got a pop So we of course called this as it was taking place, we talked about them bringing in this ABC News guy, we talked about them doing this prime time they didn't even do a series, they did a couple of them primetime my question is

40:05 If this is out there, it's on PBS Frontline. If everyone knows that this happened if everyone saw it go down why don't the Republicans do this? They're not doing it right! Well I'm gonna disagree with this. Oh I think that when the Democrats decided to get an ABC producer in and put it on prime time, it had the veneer of a TV show. Yes! Which nobody really takes that seriously because they've seen so many of them... I'm with you, alright. I think the credibility went down not up because of the overproduction values created by the ABC guy

40:47 He was putting on a TV show, might as have been Law & Order. I watch Law and Order all the time and after this...I don't want to change my vote or anything afterwards It's just pure it becomes entertainment in my system My entertainment desiring system sees it as entertainment, treats it as entertainment. I'm out of there after that and can go off and do something else. This was a huge flop! But you're telling me the Taylor Swift won't change your vote from Trump to Biden? No, she won't. All right let's get back to your Majorca clips. I think i'm on clip three now on that note speaker Mike Johnson is saying it is Secretary Mayorkas' job to prevent harmful drugs from flowing into our country and secure our border how would a Mayorka impeachment help secure the border?

CHAPTER 11 / 41 Discussion

Senate Impeachment Trial, Political Posturing, Election Year Strategy

The likelihood of a Mayorkas conviction in the Senate is discussed as being nearly zero due to the Democratic majority. The hosts analyze the impeachment as a slow-walked political maneuver designed to force vulnerable Democrats to vote on the record regarding border policies before the 2024 election. This strategy mirrors the anticipated impeachment proceedings against President Biden.

senate· republicans· democrats· election 2024· political theater

41:42 Well, that's a very good question because even if Secretary Mayorkas were impeached and then removed which is highly unlikely given the fact you need two-thirds majority in the Senate to convict him and remove him. And the Republicans are in minority over there He would be replaced by presumably somebody else ready, willing and able to carry out Mr. Biden's policies so unfortunately it is probably not going to solve the issue but I think impeaching Mr. Mayorkas is called for and would send a very clear message at least to the American people

42:21 that a majority of the House of Representatives is doing everything that it can to correct the awful policies and failure to abide by the law on our southern border. Yeah, yeah... He's basically saying what you said. Now I have to ask the question why did they interrupt all this with that stupid blood-on-your-hands Zuckerberg bit? What was the point of that? It hasn't stopped anyone from using social media. Was that just a flare? Now you got me thinking about that, I haven't considered they... Well that was a Senate hearing if i'm not mistaken right? Yes and I looked at the bills that they were talking about and I went through them as I do like really through like the Kids Online Safety Act COSA

43:19 And all I find, yeah. Yeah, I see some stuff in there like some interesting terminology like addictive feeds okay but all the stuff is everything you'd expect you know in two years we'll implement this uh you have to... You gotta adhere to guide nothing spectacular. I mean it's complete performative nonsense. How about this? Johnson himself has said that the Senate is not going to do anything and As one of the reporters said he got feedback from the Senate Republicans that they're not gonna do anything to The Senate is so divorced from the house and so for the Republicans in the Senate are so divorced from the house They just don't Republicans. They're just doing stuff this may have been That Zuckerberg thing we made just a cover-up defective his other that this impeachment is going on So it doesn't draw any attention to it

44:13 Right, thinking people would care which they don't. Smokescreen. This is the last clip and then we can maybe figure it out On that note what do you see as the next steps in this case? Some are saying it could die in the House The Senate as you just pointed out or could we actually see a conviction What do you see next It will of course now that the committee with jurisdiction, Mr. Green's Homeland Security Committee has reported out two articles of impeachment to the full house it will be up to Speaker Johnson to schedule a vote Now whether or not the Republicans will be able to secure a majority for that is itself a question because of their very very slim majority they have

44:58 But hopefully they will have a majority, and if in fact a bare majority votes on either one or both of those articles of impeachment it will in fact go over to the Senate. And the Senate will have to conduct a trial and then vote on whether or not to convict and remove Mr. Mayorkas So, this as a political ploy. This is done just before the election so that the Republicans in the House... Well they got a little bit of runway before the election Yeah but if they get the impeachment to go through which will probably take you know month and then they have to send it to the Senate this thing will drag on close to the election because there's not going to be able to ram it through that fast

45:43 It's a slow process. And Johnson has made a point of making it a slow process by going through all these committees and beating the...and then there is the Biden impeachment coming up. Oh goodness gracious! So we have... It's just all political, it's just keep it going, keep it going. The reason for the political...it's okay I'm out campaigning Yeah against the Democrat or I'm a Dem. I'm already an incumbent Democrat And I got a Republican coming up against me and the Republican can say this person voted would refuse to vote for the impeachment of the man who's you know poisoning the country with fentanyl and he's Poisoning blood on his hands so

CHAPTER 12 / 41 Discussion

Taylor Swift Psyop, Pentagon Asset Claims, Jesse Watters

Media figures like Jesse Watters discuss theories that Taylor Swift is a Pentagon psychological operations asset intended to influence the 2024 election. The hosts argue that the "psyop" is actually the media's constant discussion of the theory itself, serving as a marketing campaign for the Super Bowl and the Democratic party. They suggest the narrative is a distraction from more substantive issues like foreign wars and border policy.

taylor swift· pentagon· jesse watters· psyop· nato

46:28 It's all, yeah it is totally political but what else is new with this House and Senate? Well then I might as well bring this up because I've determined now that the Taylor Swift op is actually people talking about the op. That's the op! By the way, I was at The Meetup. Went to the Albany Mallard Club meet up and that's what exactly exactly what they were talking about...the OP They were talking about Taylor Swift. Well it-I have a couple of clips just too uh just accentuate the point because that's all its Super Bowl marketing obviously yeah

47:09 But so first they won't need her after this. There's this fake clip that's going around which was sent to me several times by people saying look at this! Good morning Taylor Swift is not a psyop. So they took that video, the very famous video of all of the... What was that news outlet? That all had the same screen. Sinclair. Sinclair yeah and then just added these voices over it okay here's what actually is going on Have you ever wondered why or how she blew up like this

47:57 Well, around four years ago the Pentagon's Psychological Operations Unit floated turning Taylor Swift into an asset. That's during a NATO meeting. So is Swift a front for a covert political agenda? Primetime obviously has no evidence if we did we'd share it It's a coordinated marketing campaign by Democrats to leverage celebrities to excite their base into coming out and voting Why alienate your fans, the Swifties So you had, what's his name on there? Jesse Waters. At the beginning. Jesse Waters. And I thought you were going to play something else because I saw this clip where he actually did on his show...I don't know if that was his show or The Five

48:43 Well, this is a compilation. We played that clip we played the whole clip of that psychological art we played the whole thing Yeah with the woman yeah, and we play talking about you know Taylor Swift's a good idea. Yeah, we played the whole thing Yeah, so why is he kind of saying it doesn't debt doesn't exist? Where'd you get just seems at that? This is just a completely ungrueous. This is just a compilation of of idiots on television participating in the op, which is just to get people to watch television and go online. To watch football And for Megyn Kelly to talk about it and you know everyone's talking about it that's all point whatever you do don't look at the bombs Don't look at the bombs! Look at the border, look at Taylor Swift Primetime obviously has no evidence if we did we'd share

49:31 It's a coordinated marketing campaign by Democrats to leverage celebrities to excite their base into coming out and voting. Why alienate your fans, the Swifties? You know they come across from every political ideology. Why put yourself in one area? Don't get involved! Don't get involved in politics we don't want to see you there Let's not forget that Taylor Swift has made a career off of writing songs about picking the wrong man so I don't think we should take advice from her now CBS actually took it one step further and brought in an analyst Alright they're considered America's favorite couple

CHAPTER 13 / 41 Discussion

Super Bowl Marketing, Blackbird AI, Voter Registration

CBS News reports on "alt-right conspiracy theories" regarding Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, using AI analysis from Blackbird AI to track the spread of misinformation. Pollster Frank Luntz notes that Swift's influence on young voters is a genuine concern for the Trump campaign, citing 35,000 new voter registrations following her social media posts. The hosts point out that CBS is carrying the Super Bowl, making the coverage a form of corporate synergy and hype.

cbs· travis kelce· blackbird ai· frank luntz· voter registration

50:07 You know them pop star Taylor Swift. Is the Super Bowl airing on CBS? What station is it air on this year? Oh, I thought it was on Fox this year Okay That would make sense All right They're considered America's favorite couple you know them pop star Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chief Star Travis Kelsey but the attention on their relationship is also inspiring some truly bizarre conspiracy theories online Some on the far right are claiming that two are part of some kind of liberal plot to swing the election toward Joe Biden. So how did these made up theories quickly spread? JoLyn Kent has a story. A pop icon dating superstar athlete, mixing a trip to the Super Bowl and you have ingredients for an alt-right conspiracy built for age of internet. So is Swift affronted for covert political agenda

50:58 Right wing media outlets have spent weeks parroting the baseless claims that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey are at the center of a liberal plot against former President Donald Trump. Build them up, build them up, build them up and then if the moment of truth they're going to endorse Biden. But the bad blood between Taylor Swift and Team Trump goes back years. In 2018 she endorsed two Democrats in Tennessee. And during the 2020 election, she threw her support behind Joe Biden. Their meteoric rise in popularity in recent months has riled up some Trump diehards including former GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy leading many to speculate without evidence that the Super Bowl outcome is quote rigged to give Swift a bigger platform to endorse Biden again. So now we're bringing sports ball into it this whole thing

51:51 The whole thing is advertising for the Super Bowl and then- Yeah, oh absolutely. And they brought in some AI! How quickly did these conspiracy theories proliferate? These will typically start to simmer in the dark web and kind of the fringe. Dark web, John! Oh it's the dark web? You should have said podcast but it's the dark web this is where it simmers...in the dark web. These will typically start to simmer in the dark web and kind of the fringes and underbelly of the internet And then at some point they gain traction around Do you have a directions to the underbelly of the internet for me? I'd really like to check that out. Underbelly of the Internet. I would like to check that out from time to time. Other events, in this case it was Super Bowl. Wasim Khaled is the CEO of Blackbird AI, a company that monitors disinformation Here we can see all these individual little small conversations all starting to kick off

52:45 Connect. Khaled showed us how his company's AI driven platform has been tracking conspiracies about Swift and Kelsey for months So here we actually see that spread we see it snowballing and We can actually see a narrative evolve grow and become more harmful over time in fact harmful often when we color code something red they could be bot like activities this is proof that social media intake a a kernel of a lie and turn it into an entire coin on the cob. Longtime pollster Frank Luntz believes that Trump and his base may have turned on Swift because they worry about her influence on the younger electorate. Last year, more than 35000 new voters signed up in one day after Swift encouraged her Instagram followers to register to vote

53:33 And for groups looking to undermine Swift or anyone else's influence, Khaled says the disinformation playbook is abundantly clear. Whether financial motives or ideological that this tradecraft that has developed much like cyber attacks developed over the years it's designed to be an attack on human perception This whole...it's unbelievable! This is all just filling air time Yes, and I will say it is CBS you were right your first guess was correct. CBS is carrying the game so we have a lot of CBS bullcrap on here That's why! The other thing is she...I heard by the way 25 thousand but let's just say she got what? 35 thousand people to register to vote

54:17 Wow. I was questioning in the last show, the idea that she has 275 million followers... And if they are eligible to vote at all? Well let's assume that maybe half of them are but let's assume a third of them are which is almost 100 million people you can only get 35 000 out of that group it's worse than our getting people to donate to this show in terms of percentage. Wow! Taylor Swift can't even get us to get people to donate to our show. Can't even get our numbers? So that's like bogus It's all... and they should, what is the Grammys airing on tonight? It's an op. The op is talking. Weren't the Grammy's last Sunday? No they're this Sunday, their tonight. I thought there were- no they're tonight

CHAPTER 14 / 41 Discussion

No Agenda GPT, AI Hallucinations, Taylor Swift Deepfakes

A listener-created "No Agenda GPT" is highlighted for its humorous hallucinations, including a claim that Ryan Seacrest once managed the No Agenda social media platform. The conversation turns to the proliferation of AI-generated nude images of Taylor Swift and the subsequent media outcry. The hosts argue that these "vandals" expose the inherent flaws and exploitable nature of current AI technology.

no agenda gpt· ryan seacrest· ai nudes· duckduckgo· deepfakes

55:08 There too. I was reading on the just going from my news rundown, and looking at the winners various people win. No this has got to be tonight! Okay well i may be wrong now am I going crazy? Now you're wondering about yourself 66th Annual Grammy Awards 66 by the way should be filled with lots of devil stuff oh yeah that's always is that's gonna be good let me see 66 is this February 4th 2024 tonight. Okay and they will have a watching and they because thanks to COVID they will have a 16 minute dead segment oh they get it the dead segment is sixteen whole minutes yep that's how many people are dead and it says thanks to COVID no that's editorializing by yours truly

56:04 Just briefly on the AI thing. It's a lot of dead, you know, comic strip blogger has put together something called the no agenda GPT Yeah and There's a link in the show notes And so people tried it out and so there was a question about No agenda social and here's what the with the AI came back with The platform was created as an initiative to do the right thing for the community, but faced challenges in moderation and management. It was run by Adam Curry initially then managed by others including Ryan Seacrest at one point.

56:42 I love AI. It's a comedian's dream! It goes along, you know singing in his spine is just going along and doing its thing and then some bomb...some ludicrous bomb has dropped in there. This is the same thing with self-driving vehicles as it was turned out that vandals like at a stop sign yeah uh you know you could write put on their stop war and then the car won't see the sign correctly. And I mean, there's just all these little things you can do to a self-driving car to make it confuse it because it is crap. It's junk does the whole idea that if it wasn't for vandals and I actually thank the Vandals. There was a thing that happened recently about this though with the Taylor Swift nude pictures

57:32 There was somebody being interviewed about this on PBS. Again, talking about the op is the op! That's just what it is. It's part of the op and by the way if you want to take part at least your own little way in the up go to DuckDuckGo type in Taylor Swift AI nudes Oh brother And I didn't want to do it but after I watched this thing on PBS these things even out there anymore Yeah They're not millions of them, I mean some guys. It's unbelievable and so you holy mackerel and some of the lewd material is just beyond the pale but... So I'm listening to this woman in the guy asks her he says uh... so who's responsible who does this sort of thing? And then she doesn't know what to say. She's a tech expert she goes on yuck yuck yuck. What i would have said was vandals! We had it there are in our midst

58:30 They do their thing and it's a good thing they're there because it alerts us to the fact that these problems exist and can be exploited so easily by what amounts to just a bunch of punk kids. It's really nothing new. You know, they're just better. There is nothing new and you can't catch them. They are just better that's all. There is nothing new and you can't catch them unless they are dumb in most of the large. But I think we talked about it on our last show...I think that was set up just to uh…you know..it was two days before the Zuckerberg blood on your hands thing So I think they're just abusing Taylor Swift now. She should get out of the public eye! This is a very, very dumb idea this is going to backfire on her it will not end pretty... Yeah that's your basic thesis about media in general Yes you use it for- And every time you always say it and then about a year later it happens Boomerangs back yeah You spike the ball and we're done Thank The Vandals yes We shall thank The Vandals

CHAPTER 15 / 41 Discussion

B-1 Bomber Operations, Tower 22 Drone Attack, IFF Transponders

The U.S. deployment of B-1 bombers from the mainland to the Middle East is criticized for its high operational cost of $173,000 per hour. Questions are raised regarding the official account of the Tower 22 attack, specifically how an Iranian drone could be mistaken for a returning U.S. drone. The hosts express skepticism about the failure of Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) transponder systems during the incident.

b-1 lancer· tower 22· iff transponder· jordan· iranian drones

59:30 I just want to go back to, because i know you have a three by three. About this whole reason for launching B1 bombers and which is I think a lot more expensive than one intercontinental ballistic missile or what Trump did. You know let's target one dude let's get Soleimani he died like a dog You know, which gave... I was always thinking that the whole idea of these predators where you could pinpoint who you want to kill. I mean they could do with even American citizens but to send a $173,000 an hour bomber from the United States in the Middle East and back? It's not really targeting it's not surgical strikes. I mean its your carpet bombing with those things Yeah

1:00:19 It's a beautiful plane though. It all started with Tower 22 and what we were led to believe is that Tower 22 had one of its drones coming back, and they turned off whatever security systems they had, and then the Iranian drone snuck in a one-way drone which means it's more those lawnmower diddies Which really have a very limited range. So where that was launched from is interesting, but you know so there's been a lot of analysis about Tower 22 and I don't know if you've seen the satellite picture... Tower 22 doesn't have a runway

1:01:03 They have helicopters and they have a helipad, and they have helicopter taxiway. But if so what drone was coming back? It wasn't a Reaper drone that needs a proper runway to land. And... That's a good point! And every single American aircraft has what's known as an IFF If friend or foe transponder So you know if something is coming in You don't turn off the receiver This thing stinks. I'm not believing that this went down the way we've been told. Whenever we lose something, the first thing we want is either destroy or retrieve our transponder. Nobody wants anyone to...unless Iranians now maybe have an IFF transponder! I am getting this from boots on the ground and the idea of this Iranian lawnmower drone

1:02:02 coming in without a transponder, which has a limited range. I'm told two kilometers...I'll give it 20 kilometers doesn't matter where did it come from? It stinks stink stinks! It all stinks of let's just go and bomb something we don't even have no pictures do we even bomb anything?! I mean honestly Do you have any pictures when we did Iraq we did shock and awe that's what I was hoping for show me shock and awe No, we say we just had 86. We don't know if we killed anybody You know...We got some militants I'm even questioning that

CHAPTER 16 / 41 Discussion

John Kirby, Red Sea Shipping, Biden at Dover AFB

National Security Council spokesman John Kirby defends U.S. strikes against Houthi rebels, admitting they have yet to stop attacks on international shipping in the Red Sea. Kirby emphasizes the 20-nation coalition formed to protect the waterway. Meanwhile, President Biden attends the "dignified transfer" of fallen soldiers at Dover Air Force Base, an event the hosts scrutinize for its optics and the absence of visible grieving families in the footage.

john kirby· houthi· red sea· dover air force base· joe biden

1:02:42 Yeah, you are. Can I play a couple Kirby clips because he's always the most fun to listen to when it comes? Yeah, I just want to mention and before we play the three right through I do have a bunch of clips from Al Jazeera about this situation and I kind of concentrated on a Iranian professor at the University of Tehran To remind us a number of things that I forgot about in that it's gonna be as kind of a It's a very interesting series of clips. Do you want to play those first or do you want to do the Kirby? Well, what does Kirby say here in your clips? It's Kirby, it's always fun to listen to Kirby. He is a bonehead rear admiral. Joining us now to discuss more of this from Washington is National Security Council spokesman John Kirby. John good morning to you, it's great to have you back so we've heard from you and repeatedly from the administration that these strikes against the Houthis are intended to degrade their capabilities but so far it hasn't stopped them Is there any expectation that the result will be different or more definitive after this latest round?

1:03:46 Well, we'll see what happens. The Pentagon is doing an assessment right now to see what the effect was not only on the strikes in Iraq and Syria on Friday night but the strikes in Yemen yesterday We are continuing to go after their ability to hit us And in the case of the Houthis to hit international shipping, we are trying to take away their capability make it harder for them to throw these punches. Again what we think we've achieved good effects and in both rounds of these strikes both in Yemen and Iraq and Syria on Friday night but we're still doing the assessment on that you know I've always seen These videos and the video it shows the missile going

1:04:24 and then all of a sudden there's a big flash, and then the camera goes dead. And that assessment is clear but there's none of that! But John isn't that the criticism though? Like it is degrading their capabilities enough I mean what do you say to these shipping companies who've had to travel thousands of miles to avoid this area because they don't have safety and security in the Red Sea? I tell them that the president has put together a coalition of 20 some odd countries Doesn't he know the exact number is just twenty-some odd I'm telling you John, this stinks. Ships and aircrafts... It's a good catch. You would know exactly... These guys? Yeah. They know the number. Of course they know the number! It's none! Ships and aircrafts and other capabilities in the Red Sea to try to make that passage as safe as possible now we can't guarantee that there still won't be attacks on their ships but we are doing everything we can with the international community to protect that shipping We know how vital of waterway the Red Sea is

1:05:22 All right. If the Houthis captured a ship and they're using it as a tourist attraction, why don't we go recapture that ship? Because I didn't know they were big tourist country where they're always looking for tourist attractions because I understand now that the ship is tourist attraction number one and this Seattle fish market where you toss a fish is number two for the Houthis. They've been in Seattle for awhile there going to look at the fish. I mean, who are we kidding here? No instead let's remind our viewers of some important information. And it is important to remind our viewers there are multiple operations happening here because separately you noted earlier the US launched those retaliatory strikes against Iranian back groups in Syria and Iraq of course this is a response the three Americans who were killed in Jordan Is there more to come with that operation and how soon? You know I hate to be morbid about it but

1:06:19 We haven't, I don't think President Biden was at the caskets coming home which you should be certainly if you're playing it up this big. Oh he was there? Was he looking at his watch? In fact i took a photo of a screenshot of him and the look on his face was...I've never seen..it's the worst Biden look he could possibly have in his mouth. It's just that screwball look he has Yeah, he was standing there with his wife. I hate to be morbid but you know...I've seen three pictures Three black Americans Brownish-black One a woman which Kareem Jean Paul Pierre Cardew didn't even know because she couldn't say oh three of our folks or folks didn't even know Is this stock photography? I'm really starting to question this now

CHAPTER 17 / 41 Discussion

Military Strike Delays, Iran Direct Messaging, John Kirby Interview

John Kirby explains that the week-long delay in retaliatory strikes was due to target development and poor weather conditions for manned aircraft. He clarifies that while the U.S. has communicated with Iran in the past, there are currently no direct messaging channels being used to de-escalate the current conflict. The administration maintains that the strikes send a "strong signal" to the IRGC and its proxies.

john kirby· irgc· weather· military intelligence· diplomacy

1:07:11 I will now with AI you can just make faces. Make new faces, i'm questioning it. There is more to come what you saw Friday night was just the first round and it's not going to be the last one by any stretch. Now I won't get ahead of military operations one way or another what they're gonna look like when they're gonna come But the president has been clear, we are gonna respond in a forceful way. Three Americans were killed, dozens were wounded. We have got to respond in a strong and aggressive way and will continue to do that but there will be more response options as a result of that attack. And the obvious question is why were you just yapping and yapping and yapping for a week, telling everybody it's coming like you're doing again? Why did it take nearly a week though to carry out those strikes. Did that give the militants time to regroup hide and protect their resources

1:07:59 Oh, protect their resources. Well it takes time to develop the target sets to make sure you've got enough visibility on the targets that your going after so we can be sure... No wait for it! We're hitting what your aiming at and feel like we did. What? We have the most sophisticated weapons in the world You gotta make sure you're hitting what you're aiming at and we did. Where's the video? But that takes time to develop, there is also the weather factor in something like this I mean the strikes that we took on Friday night were using manned aircraft including bombers from the United States and of course you want to make sure your pilots are safe and secure as they conduct these vital missions

1:08:36 D-Day where we had to wait for the weather to clear up? Is that where were at now?" So, whether plays a factor in all of that. It wasn't an exorbitant amount of time here and we needed little time to prepare ourselves. You insist... And as for your other question, I'm sorry if i interrupted you but You also asked about whether the Iranian-backed groups, I'm sorry, the militia groups moved anything around. I can't speak to that specifically we do the best intelligence assessment that we can in terms of developing these targets So he knows nothing We know nothing The weather was not cooperating Did you call anybody over there? Did you pick up the phone and say hey stop killing our people

1:09:14 anything like that? I wanted to just pick up on something you said recently that the US is not speaking directly, no direct channels with Iran in the region. Why not some say that's exactly what should be happening to prevent further escalation yeah call somebody It's not like we haven't had direct communications with the Iranians before. What I said was, we haven't had any direct messaging... Oh they're DMing now! They were DMing and then slide into your DMs Mullah but we're not doing that anymore. Communications with the Iranians before what i said was we haven't had any direct messaging to the Iranians Are they using Facebook do you think or are they using WhatsApp to DM? Since the attacks

1:09:56 But isn't now that pivotal moment for that discussion, those direct talks? No we got to shoot more crap. We're sending a pretty strong signal with these strikes that we took on Friday night and I guarantee you that were going to be sending another strong signal to the Iranians and to the groups they are backing, the IRGC and the groups they are backing over coming days John Kirby thank you so much for your time this morning we do appreciate it To me this is outrageous. It's outrageous That brings me to some not different group eclipse, okay? There was this guy Joe Pachinko he said Colonel retired Boy who they brought on this is yesterday This is brought on the PBS and retired in air quotes

CHAPTER 18 / 41 Discussion

Joe Buccino, CENTCOM Investigation, Quds Force Control

Retired Colonel Joe Buccino, a former CENTCOM spokesman, provides analysis on PBS regarding the precision of the B-1 bomber strikes. It is noted that Buccino was previously under investigation for creating a "hostile command climate" at Central Command. He suggests that Iran may be struggling to control its various proxy groups following the 2020 assassination of Qasem Soleimani, leading to "loose" militant activity in the region.

joe buccino· centcom· quds force· ismail kaani· qasem soleimani

1:10:42 I think so, yeah. Because when you listen to him talk he talks as a group and the group he represents is the intelligence community it's never mentioned but when you read between the lines just listening to him he's getting information why does he have any of this information? He's retired colonel what does he do for a living they never say but he somehow an expert on that in on the topic and they brought him into first time ever seen this guy and he's actually pretty good as a spokes, you know as the spokeshold for whoever. But this is PBS Weekend 1. As we come on the air tonight The United States is carrying out a second wave of air strikes against dozens of Iran-backed Houthi targets in Yemen We gotta start using that! As we come on the podcast today here's what's going on... The two day assault was in response to last weekend drone strike in Jordan that killed three US troops and injured dozen more

1:11:37 Last night's air assault struck sites in Iraq and Syria used by Iran-backed militias. Pentagon officials said it took just 30 minutes Friday night for B1 bombers and other U.S. aircraft to hit more than 85 targets. Iraq and Syria said the attacks killed at least 34 people, both members of Iranian-backed militant groups and civilians Joe Baccino is a retired US Army colonel. He was the top spokesman at Central Command. Joe, talk about how you design an event like this, a retaliatory strike like this... Wait, is CENTCOM the guys who let all the planes come through on 9-11? Wasn't that CENTCOM? I have no idea if they let the planes come through or not.

1:12:37 It's Buccino. with a B, b-u-c-c-i-n-o and he is under inspector general investigation as of May 5th 2023. That's interesting. Good look yeah so they when they say B1 bombers bombers that implies there's more than one yes I agree so i just wanted let's say three it's like billions literally billions of dollars

1:13:37 Well millions anyway. Millions? No, billions. Oh it depends on... Probably a billion. It just seems expensive to me. There's markup there's mark up you know this you're talking wholesale we're looking at retail prices here yeah of course they're rampant the whole thing is I hate to say it because we have lots of military personnel but I think they know as well everything is corrupt And there was this young man, 18 years old at the church and he's going off. He's a Marine. He did his basic training now is going to California. It'll be in the region within six months. That's disgusting. Onward! What does the response from Iran and from these militant groups? What does it tell you? I'm cautiously optimistic right now

1:14:26 Iran has denounced the strikes, but they haven't said anything about a retaliation and There's signals here that Iran wants to hold back on on some of these Shia proxy groups, that maybe they've gotten a little bit out of control or out of the control of Ismail Kani. He is the senior commander of the Quds Force in Iran—in Tehran—and so maybe he wants to pull them back. So I'm optimistic about that. Does he have that control? Is he able to pull them back? What we're hearing is that, you know, you think about Qasem Soleimani. You know this powerful figure shadowy figure who really controlled these forces so tightly for so long when he was struck that really degraded Iran it really took away their capability but it also took away their ability to control these loose groups in Iraq and Syria and Jordan and Yemen And they've gotten a little bit out of control and now he's trying to pull them back So there's concern in Tehran

CHAPTER 19 / 41 Discussion

Mike Johnson on Iran Sanctions, Conflict Avoidance, Oil Exports

Speaker Mike Johnson criticizes the Biden administration's "appeasement strategy," calling for maximum pressure on Iran's oil exports and the decimation of the Iranian Central Bank. He argues that the current military strikes do not cause enough "pain" in Tehran to deter future attacks. Johnson advocates for a return to the Reagan doctrine of "peace through strength" and suggests that direct strikes on Iranian assets should remain on the table.

mike johnson· iran central bank· oil exports· appeasement· reagan doctrine

1:15:25 There's concern in DC. Nobody wants to escalate, so I'm optimistic about that." We don't want to escalate! But we're gonna do more! We're gonna do more!" I am reminded of the...we had a clip it was probably six months ago from someone who says that a lot of this is just was a scam between and when were still in close contact with Iran to make sure that they get their monies and some other and get stopped their nuke program to some extent or at least being in bed with them And all this is a cover for the fact that we're really working with Iran. I mean, I don't know if that's even a possibility but it... That's what this one guy claimed if you recall that clip

1:16:09 Trying to think I don't have that per se, but I did hear. I know if I clipped it this morning That what is being done here is seen as nothing they're doing nothing to Iran? I think it was probably Mike Johnson He said that you know we should be We should be cutting their money off doing stuff like that yeah, let me see hold on a second. I think I have it here Yeah, listen to this. What Jake Sullivan just said I listened to that interview it was interesting we need to make absolutely clear to Iran that nothing is off the table you know we maintain peace through strength that was the Reagan doctrine as President Trump bombed them again a continued and that's what we have to do right now We should not be appeasing Iran That's what the Biden administration has been doing for the last three years we are projecting weakness on the world stage

1:17:03 And frankly, Kristen that is why our adversaries are acting so provocatively. What we need to be doing right now is turning up the heat on Iran We need to act to decimate the Iran Central Bank The assets they've held there. We need to lean on international banks To seize the asset of Iranian proxies big-time pressure, maximum pressure on their oil exports. There's a lot that we could do to Iran to send a message instead of this appeasement strategy it's just simply not working. Including strikes Mr Speaker? including strikes just to be clear It should not be off the table. Let me give you just a quick example, you know... This is from this morning! In the Trump administration we used a drone and three missiles to take out Qasem Soleimani near Baghdad that sent a strong message and it quelled all of the activity there what what we're doing right now we're sending were using potentially hundreds of munitions to strike close to 100 targets so far

1:18:00 But we're not going right to the heart of the matter. I think that's a real problem So, I think you're right and I think Johnson is agreeing here by saying we're not really doing anything to Iran We're just shooting some stuff...We are just spending money and we should cut off their banking? Yeah, ain't gonna happen No, because well if we do then we just work with Russia. We just bring in pallets of dollars remember that? Yeah they send like four billion dollars in cash! Just drop it off in cash no problem by the way this Buccino guy he was suspended last year from command and a command climate survey

1:18:40 found that 97% of his staff reported a hostile command climate, two-thirds of them reported low morale. Roughly another quarter reported they witnessed sexual and or racial harassment This is an interesting guy to bring on PBS. Yeah, that's what you mentioned and good work! I think we're on clip three? Some Republicans in Congress have criticized the Biden administration for what they say waiting too long this strike was last weekend it took a full week What do you make of that? What do you say to that? Oh, I agree. Look if there is some intellectual thrust of the Biden foreign policy its conflict avoidance

1:19:20 and avoidance of escalation. And that's generally a good impulse for an American president, here it doesn't serve us well. And if you look at the history of Iran it doesn't serve us well here. For five days we've been talking about this, for five days we've been talking about what were not going to do. I think its signals to Iran that they can continue to kind of push us around, they can continue to strike at our bases and we're not going to make them feel pain. Because what we do to the Houthis here in Yemen, what we do to these Shia groups in Iraq and Syria it doesn't really manifest in pain in Iran. Yeah... So that goes right along with what Mike Johnson just said It's not really doing anything to Iran We're just spending money

CHAPTER 20 / 41 Discussion

B-1 Lancer Capabilities, Bunker Complexes, Future Strike Targets

Military analysts discuss the strategic use of B-1 Lancer bombers, noting their ability to fly supersonically and carry massive payloads while remaining under radar coverage. Future strikes are expected to target coastal battery sites in Yemen and extensive underground bunker complexes in eastern Syria. The goal remains to send a message to Tehran, though skeptics wonder if the current level of violence will change Iranian behavior.

b-1 lancer· syria· iraq· bunkers· military strategy

1:20:09 and getting everybody all riled up, and I guess the thinking there is hey i'm a war president. You better hurry up! Someone's got to declare war how much longer can President Biden be authorizing this stuff? Not much...I think half of it's illegal already but all of its legal work as a word that's the idea this old political idea that once you've got a war present you gotta keep them in office yeah don't change a warring team Yeah, no one's buying that. I mean they may have bought it in the 50s but no. I think i got one more. Flying bombers halfway around the world to do this obviously there are operational reasons for this they carry a tremendous amount of payload They can fly supersonically But was also a message being sent? This is all about a message

1:20:58 So the message here is more important than anything you've hit, anything you destroyed and any of these Shia groups that you killed. The B-1 bombers are important because they can fly under radar coverage and if we're going to hit inside Iran or inside Iran with a B-1 Lancer. What comes next? Well, I think what comes next is you're going to see more passes in Iraq and Syria like we did last night. You're going to see maybe more strikes on the coast of Yemen here tonight We hit the capital. I don't think will do that again. I think will hit coastal battery sites I think this will go into next week for a few days into next week

1:21:36 And then we'll see. Then we kind of wait, did Iran get the message? How is Iran going to respond? How are these Shia groups gonna respond that's what's next. It will be the same sort of targets or will the targeting change No you're gonna see the same kinds of targets The same level of violence and really you're gonna see these bunkers a lot more bunkers so these complexes You think about Dorazor in the east there in Syria, and Abu Kamal. These are complexes that have hundreds of bunkers within them and so you know you there's a lot more targets you can hit there we hit 85 that's really not very much there's a lot more we can do here. Joe Pacino retired US Army colonel thank you very much Retired

1:22:19 Do you still want to talk more war? Wait, maybe this guy was put on the PBS News Hour as punishment. A lot of these guys don't like to do these things. That's a good point. Give him punishment. It's like okay we need a spokesperson for this. You put him on because I've never seen it before and he's not bad! No, well he's kind of give away the fact that he's getting. He's got more information than you think he should have unless you have to work for him doesn't sound like such a cool dude to work for. Well maybe he'll straighten out no it does sound like a good guy is not a manager can I switch to something else for a minute because we're going to lose people might as well play Africa and China clips you get Africa? No!

CHAPTER 21 / 41 Discussion

Tech Industry Layoffs, Content as Software, Influencer Wealth Gap

A YouTube tech analyst posits that the recent wave of mass layoffs in Silicon Valley signals that "coding is dead" and the industry has reached a "local maximum." The theory suggests that value has shifted from building infrastructure to creating content, as evidenced by streamers like Pokimane leaving Twitch for massive deals while software engineers are let off. The discussion highlights the growing wealth gap between traditional 9-5 tech workers and top-tier influencers.

tech layoffs· jack dorsey· tiktok· twitch· pokimane

1:23:12 Have you ever seen this guy he does a YouTube channel. He used to be a tech lead at Google, he's an Asian guy and kind of like I know it all kind of dude but it was very popular YouTube YouTuber Okay, and he laid out a oh should I say a hypothesis? About what's happening is how many tech the I think the big question. I keep hearing is all these tech layoffs you know even Jack Dorsey laid off a whole bunch of people and it's been hundreds of thousands in the past couple years of technology people have been let go

1:23:52 Yeah. And I think as I was listening to Dvorak Horowitz unplugged, you know this consensus is it's not like there's some bad news coming something else is going on and it's not necessarily that we all were headed into some horrible recession and this guy had a kind of an interesting thesis I want to share because to me he was like yeah that makes a lot of sense and it kind of started with Elon Musk do you wanna hear Of course.

1:24:43 And there's a whole string of other layoffs in the tech industry here. We have a Tech Jobs chart showing a notable decline in tech roles, according to Indeed where jobs and software IT and information has just gone downhill. Coding may be dead. I mean we're talking massive fundamental changes underway here. Coding is dead! Apps are dead! Now amidst this backdrop of tech layoffs comes at an interesting time when so many YouTubers are quitting... retiring really? rich. So there's this wealth gap between nine to five employees and influencers, which is something I've talked about before where we have these two class of people right? Half of millennials are basically poor they can't afford anything and they're stuck in these dead end nine-to-five jobs than the other half. They're raking it in with Lamborghinis and Gucci and Rolexes living in these mansions traveling all the time. And isn't that funny we now have the social media trend that watch me lose my job on TikTok

1:25:39 And I think this may have something to do with the extreme dissatisfaction of younger generation of workers. Because it is. I mean, I'm seeing these trends a lot of the I'm quitting YouTube is you know just to get views and like oh I didn't quit no all you beg me to stay but there's a lot of money has been made we even just saw recent renewal by Joe Rogan although it's not quite the same as his initial deal same goes for

1:26:19 Call her daddy, you know their they're Upfront and revenue sharing deals. I think people are seeing this and then what used to be the big hero You know Oh with oh he's a ninja Ninja Coder remember that remember we were hiring ninjas Ninja coder and they were making two three four hundred grand I mean lots of money And this guy says, you know no we've We're done. We've built it all." So here's what I think is happening, we essentially reached a local maximum in technology where we invented basically digital drugs social media where everybody is now just addicted to this digital opioid and they're just vegetating in front of their screens watching short videos TikTok videos YouTube videos like this one and nobody really wants to do anything else people are just totally content people don't need to buy anything they don't need to download new apps or websites

1:27:11 building someone a TV and then asking them if they want anything more from you, any apps or websites or services. No they just want to watch their shows now and so in the way content became the new software where a lot of value creation shifted from the tech stack, the infrastructure of building that first tv now that's built we don't need the builders for that we just need someone to maintain this tv and then value shifts into these shows creation it's kind like the movie industry where The sound engineers, stage engineers and production designers don't get paid much but it's the show stars who get paid the most. Similarly at a time when Twitch is laying off 35% of its staff, software engineer managers, college educated 9-5 folks

1:27:53 It's top star and streamer Pokimane is leaving Twitch. Voluntarily, she is not being laid off here folks with rumors of her finding a potentially $75 million deal So it's just funny there was this divide where some people are leaving the company because they're fired And then some people are leaving because they're retiring basically they're done This rings true to me. Has there been any new exciting app, any new development? I mean we have really nothing! AI... Really?! Where's all the coders for that? Sure Buzzkill, there is definitely a market for them but not

CHAPTER 22 / 41 Discussion

Stagnant Tech Innovation, Apple Vision Pro, Hercules Graphics Card

The hosts discuss the lack of exciting new developments in technology, dismissing the Apple Vision Pro and the "GPT store" as underwhelming. Dvorak reminisces about the early days of microcomputing, the S-100 bus, and the Hercules graphics card, noting that early tech pioneers often cashed out and retired early. They suggest the current era is one of stagnation where big tech companies dominate through data and GPU ownership.

apple vision pro· web3· metaverse· s100 bus· hercules card

1:28:34 not the level that we had before of, oh we've got to build all this stuff out. And once Instagram created their version of TikTok and TikTok is TikTok... But still, with all of this quitting, whether voluntarily or not I think it reflects a low opportunity, low growth stagnant era that we're living through where there's just nothing really exciting going on. A lot of the technology that should have taken off like web3 and metaverse AI didn't really get too far. AI may have some potential, but it's also the playground mostly of big tech companies that have the data and GPUs to train on most normal people aren't going to be doing that. The chat GPT store was kind of a buzz. It was just rappers on chat GPT you've got Apple Vision Pro pretty expensive limited market and I should be clear by now apps and websites are long dead people stopped using those as soon as they began vegetating on short form videos

1:29:32 And so with everybody vegetating on digital drugs, the game industry is also suffering because it simply costs too much per minute of entertainment. We can see U.S consumer spending on gaming here which is down 14.5% in the past three years and this basically a stagnant industry in an area where there continues to be inflation and rising costs So a lot of companies are seeing weak consumer demand. All the meanwhile, YouTube ad sales soared $9.2 billion in the blowout quarter as they're firmly back in growth mode after quite your last year. I don't know to me it sounds sounds very plausible that this just they're done building we got nothing we got no other ideas except quantum computing but that's still on the that's still on the horizon It's an interesting hypothesis

1:30:26 I can't argue with it. There are people that... This has always been the case in high tech, but I remember going back into the late 70s when you first had the S100 bus come out. The S100 bus! Remember those days people? I don't. What was the S100 bus? I have no idea what that is. It was a bus, you know, back plane that had 100 pins on it and it was called the S-100 bus. And I think Altair is the first one they developed kind of a quasi version that got formalized and became standard. It wasn't in play until IBM PC came along with its own bus RS 232 Is that what replaced it?

1:31:12 RS-232 is an interface protocol. I don't know what you're talking about. I don't either, i'm just throwing stuff out So there was this guy... There was the early days of microcomputing which is what it was called there was all these graphic guys that come along and then one guy who came out with the thing called a Hercules card. I think it may have even been around here, Hercules maybe but Hercules made this graphics card that became kind of a quasi-standard because it was so good! The guy made a shit ton of money not by today's standards but by the standard back then yeah A shit ton of money

1:31:56 As soon as he cashed out, he just took his put on some sandals and moved to Mexico. And I knew the guy that was rich. I'm done smart man. He didn't see it wasn't a serial entrepreneur. Didn't fall for that scam like how to spend your own money dumbest thing I've ever used my home to make more money. So this type of personality in tech is not an unusual character that would just develop something, make enough money to get more than get by but you think you got a lot of money.

CHAPTER 23 / 41 Discussion

Elon Musk Efficiency, Meta Stock Bet, Bitcoin Trading Regrets

The "year of efficiency" in tech is attributed to Elon Musk's radical downsizing of Twitter, which provided a blueprint for other CEOs like Mark Zuckerberg to cut management layers. Adam Curry admits he lost a $500 bet to Dvorak regarding Meta's stock price hitting $400 and offers to pay in Bitcoin or cash. Dvorak shares a story about selling his Bitcoin at $900 and losing the proceeds through day trading.

elon musk· mark zuckerberg· meta· bitcoin· stock market

1:32:33 and you don't, I mean you do for like a year or two. And then they bail out and they go away. So maybe there is an element to that going on." There's one other thing that he said which is it which I think is something that is very DH unplugged uh...and it all started with Elon Musk and I think he has a point here. I think it was really Elon Musk who kicked off all of the firings when he fired 80% of Twitter's workforce saving the company massive amounts of money cutting bloat and so a lot of other tech CEOs probably saw that too and realized they wanted to cut through all of the management bloat as well. So Instagram here is also announcing they're cutting a level of management. The TPM role or technical program manager, is essentially being eliminated at Instagram in what Mark Zuckerberg called

1:33:17 the year of efficiency aimed at removing layers of management. The result was thousands of layoffs last year and reduction in management ranks, this effect probably compounded by overhiring during the pandemic as well as hopes that AI can possibly help improve some of the efficiency of current workers although general consensus seems that AI is not behind the current wave of layoffs. That is coming later on. The industry is changing. These days, everybody and their dog is coding immigrants are coding fresh college grads are coding chat GPT is coding it's becoming an oversaturated field where employers are realizing they don't have to pay you 300-500k and free cafeteria food for two hours of work a day So that so it's the R&D tax credit that Joe Biden overrode that with an executive order? Yeah

1:34:26 So no wonder. Yeah, that I didn't know. Yeah, I didn't know it either. But yeah you can see that becomes a big deal you have to change everything because it changes the way you do the books and which reminds me since Zuckerberg was mentioned this can you check the price of MetaStock? I think its probably way beyond the $400 dollars that I was willing to bet we would never reach Yeah, you weren't willing to bet. You made a $500 bet Oh I did? I thought you didn't take it No i didn't take the five thousand dollar bet you wanted to make Okay Well here's the clip calling names And we've got a whole panel of douchebags who are gonna narc on ya constantly They're dead! No they're not That... that's like Facebook Hows that four hundred dollar stock doing? Just kidding. You wait

1:35:20 I will bet you $500 right now that Facebook will never get back to $400. Unless they do some, yeah unless they... The bets on and with the same float. Can somebody record this please? With the same float! You're not allowed to manipulate by changing the float with a split or reverse split. That's bullcrap dude float is never the same there'll be some issuances there'll be some buybacks, there's a million reasons why the float won't stay the same. I said with a split or reverse split... Now you're adding a bunch of disclaimers never mind you don't want to do the bet! Oh i'm done five thousand dollars five thousand dollars? Five thousand dollars?! No i'm gonna tell you this... PUSSY! PUSSY! PUSSY! I'll do the 500 but the reason i won't do the 5 000 is because you can't afford it

1:36:11 I never get paid. Point made, point made you're afraid? You're afraid! I have no fear So yes i was alerted to this um...I honestly did not remember the way that went down it's about two years and four months ago episode 1492 and after having hearing that because of course people sent that to me I apologize. I was not only...I defaulted to my carnal mind, and I'm ashamed and embarrassed because i called you names and really, I repented for this! I am very sorry and I want to thank you for having grace on me for not taking my $5,000 dollars and I will gladly pay the 500 from the bet and I'm sorry. Well thank you very much for being sorry The five thousand dollar bet

1:37:10 Yeah, you're right. You should thank me for not taking the bet but in there I did say you wouldn't pay it because you're not going to pay a $5,000 bet nobody does and that's my tip to people out there who want to bet with people when somebody makes an outrageous bet don't do it cause your just gonna cause friction if even get the 500 dollars ill be surprised but I will take it and it will go to charity Can I send it to you in Bitcoin? Come on, I don't have a wallet. Calc, I'll set you up with the wallet if you never know. I mean it's like kind of doubling down for ya. If you rather have cash. Okay! I'll send a pallet of dollars Now we could... I am sorry that was very embarrassing i heard that and I was unhinged as I said I defaulted to my carnal mind It was not good That's-I don't like what I heard there

1:38:10 Yeah. So I will, if you want...I'll put the bet in abeyance if you wanna do double or nothing for Facebook hitting a thousand. No, I'm done! I will take my lashes. I'll take my lashes. I'm not gonna go there. Nope. I've never been good with stocks. I mean, I'm the guy that sold all of my Bitcoin at $900 thinking this is dynamite Hey, you still... I've said it before and i'll say it again. We're talking about this on DHM plug. If I had bought say $200 worth of Bitcoin at 25 cents

1:38:51 The likelihood of me keeping it past $400 a Bitcoin is probably nil. The best, the only way you can do that is you buy it for 25 cents and then somehow lose track of it and then suddenly years and years later find the key to the kingdom in your old wallet somewhere. That's kind of what happened but it gets worse...the story is actually worse Because I took the money from the Bitcoin. I sold and I day traded it Wow, why don't you go into commodities while you're at it?

1:39:28 All right, since we're doing old clips I want to play something that just aired. And I want to play a classic no agenda clip this showed up on Tucker Carlson some guy named Callie, Callie Edd I think his name is and he has like a healthy you know because he's a healthy medicine guy what do they call it these days there's a term for it I keep forgetting. Wellness! A functional medicine doctor Oh, I haven't heard this. Oh yeah functional medicine doctor and he promotes you know everything except pharmaceuticals and he's on with Tucker And he brings out a... This clip was sent to me by many people usually for the same reason He says oh Listen to that. I cut it down a little piece here But your saying that Pharma buys TV spots

CHAPTER 24 / 41 Discussion

Pharma Media Capture, Tucker Carlson, News Advertising

Tucker Carlson interviews a functional medicine doctor who claims pharmaceutical companies buy TV advertising not to sell drugs, but to "buy off" news networks and prevent investigative reporting. The hosts play a clip from 2011 where they made the same observation, noting that the U.S. is one of only two countries that allow direct-to-consumer prescription drug ads. They argue the media has been "captured" by the medical-industrial complex.

The best, the only way you can do that is you buy it for 25 cents and then somehow lose track of it and then suddenly years and years later find the key to the kingdom in your old wallet somewhere.

1:39:28 All right, since we're doing old clips I want to play something that just aired. And I want to play a classic no agenda clip this showed up on Tucker Carlson some guy named Callie, Callie Edd I think his name is and he has like a healthy you know because he's a healthy medicine guy what do they call it these days there's a term for it I keep forgetting. Wellness! A functional medicine doctor Oh, I haven't heard this. Oh yeah functional medicine doctor and he promotes you know everything except pharmaceuticals and he's on with Tucker And he brings out a... This clip was sent to me by many people usually for the same reason He says oh Listen to that. I cut it down a little piece here But your saying that Pharma buys TV spots

1:40:17 not to convince people to ask for specific drugs from their physicians, but to subvert the news business? This is an open secret working for Pharma. I never even thought of that! This is an open secret. The kind of silly ads you see between the news breaks...the points of that are largely to impact a customer But the pharma has already got that. They've already bought off the doctors, they're good on that. No no this is an open secret. The news ad spending from pharma is a public relation lobbying tactic essentially to buy off the news. They're not investigating pharma. Oh I noticed! The news has become basically a referee that you are terrible anti-science

1:41:06 Luddite for asking why, you know the shots that we require our kids to get that fundamentally by their own advertising change the immune system of that child for life. Why it's gone from 20 to 70? To even ask that question The News referees that and calls you anti-science when the two largest vaccine makers in the country are are literally criminal enterprises. GlaxoSmithKline and Merck in the past five years has settled two of the largest criminal penalties in American corporate history for bribing doctors and creating misleading research, who were the two largest vaccine makers. So you literally have the media playing referee that you can't even ask a question

1:41:47 So this was a big revelation for Tucker Carlson. You mean what we've been talking about for how many years? Well, I went into bingit.io and there's a new version coming by the way which will be killer And I was able to go back, we had other mentions of advertising but this was the most succinct No Agenda episode 343 from September 29th 2011. Here we go let's see what he said at the time What choice does he have? He is running a commercial show that has sponsors on a network that relies like everyone else on drug advertising What is he supposed to do? He can take the donation model

1:42:33 and make less money. I mean, i don't know what you expect the guy to do he has no choice in the matter He is like everybody else in the media everything that people watch out there is bought and paid for by big pharma Big Pharma right now probably one of the biggest advertisers they're making so much money on some of these sketchy drugs that you know, you can't say what and then you have the vested interest of the war on drugs. Yeah but it's important for people to know because Jon Stewart does come across as uh... the voice of reason. A tele-deleking is guy! But he's not. He too is beholden to the pharmaceutical industry in this case and its a six minute clip so I'm not going to play it but there's a link to the actual video

1:43:12 There you go. 13 years, 13 years. It was a theme and it's always been a theme with us. Yep And that has to be, and we always mention it. We're one of the two countries in the world that allow pharmaceuticals to advertise prescription drugs on TV. They've always advertised aspirin. Yeah but they control all the messaging. It's a mechanism of control so they own the media. The media has been co-opted captured. Remember the capture? They've been captured by big pharma so they can't say anything now

CHAPTER 25 / 41 Discussion

Canada MAID Program, Mental Illness Expansion, Dying with Dignity

The Canadian government delays the expansion of its Medically Assisted in Dying (MAID) program to include individuals suffering solely from mental illness. James Cowan of Dying with Dignity expresses disappointment, arguing that clinicians are ready to perform the service. The hosts criticize the "death industry" in Canada, questioning the ethics of assisting the suicide of depressed individuals.

canada· maid· mental illness· dying with dignity· james cowan

1:43:51 It is what this news What's going on in Canada right now? I I Pray, this does not come to the United States. What what is happening there that This is about made which is just a love the acronym made because you think of a man Yeah, yeah, I'm coming in here. I'm gonna sweep around it Oh, I'm gonna kill you which is medically assisted assistance in dying And Canada has put a pause on this, and this is very disappointing to the death industry in Canada. The federal government is defending its decision to delay the expansion of medically assisted death to include those suffering from mental illness It's the second time they've pressed pause on the legislation

1:44:41 James Cowan is a member of the board of directors for the advocacy group Dying with Dignity and he joins me now. James Cowan, it's good to speak with you Get ready for this ghoul So your organization says that work has been done to move forward now How do we reconcile that with reports and statements from various governments saying Canada is just not ready to do this? Well I think you have to go back and look at what was said postponed when the Sunset Clause was extended last year and Minister LeMette was very clear as to what the markers were. There needed to be a consideration of the report of the expert panel, there needed to be an educational program developed so that clinicians could be prepared for this, there needed to be better data collection, they needed...the regulators across the country needed to have time to prepare

1:45:31 regulations and guidelines, and all of those markers have been met. So there are obviously some people in this country who do believe that the system isn't ready, but many more and particularly those who are actually engaged in doing assessments and delivering made. They testified before the committee that they were ready. And so I'm personally disappointed that the government now intends to I want to kill! ...kick the ball down the road for some indefinite period of time. I don't know how long that is, but i'm more disappointed for the relatively few Canadians who meet the very strict criteria and were hoping and waiting for the day when they'd be able to apply for MADE and if they were successful to receive that service

1:46:30 It's a service. And what this was about, they didn't want to include mental disorders. People want to die because they are depressed I mean that's like one of the hallmarks of depression and this guy wants to kill people over it! It's baffling to me. You know what is kind of baffling about the whole thing? Is that The Canadians have got this M.A.I.D deal, they find somebody and then they put them through I don't know what they do to them but they die. And you know everybody's happy about it in the United States where we have executioners row We can't put anyone to death because oh you know that this doesn't work That doesn't work! We can't get any more of this drug

CHAPTER 26 / 41 Discussion

US Death Penalty, Nitrogen Gas Execution, Political Hypocrisy

The execution of a criminal in Alabama using nitrogen gas sparks a debate on the American attitude toward death. The hosts point out the political schism where Democrats oppose the death penalty but support abortion, while Republicans hold the opposite views. They discuss the difficulty the U.S. faces in obtaining lethal injection drugs compared to the ease of Canada's MAID program.

death penalty· alabama· nitrogen gas· abortion· capital punishment

1:47:22 I mean how can the Canadians so casually put to normal citizens to death and we can't put anyone to death who's on death row? We can't kill criminals. How does that work? Well, but there...I think we both had a clip about that about they were gonna suffocate some guy. Use nitrogen! Yes, suffocate some guy That was the latest one. Yeah, I think I had a clip of couple shows ago Alabama is set to execute a criminal with nitrogen gas tomorrow A method never used before The US Supreme Court just declined to block the state The man in question survived a different method of capital punishment two years ago I'm always surprised like oh don't kill him all you that's cruel You can't but killing babies nice cool. That's all good let's go protest for that

1:48:06 I'm always baffled by our attitude towards death in the United States. Well, I am baffled by the Republican and Democrat schism regarding this. The Democrats are okay with killing babies but they're not okay with death row! Oh no we can't have the death penalty! Yeah that's what i'm saying. The Republicans are just the opposite. They're not good at killing babies but kill these bastards in jail So I mean, it's just like the both sides seem to have a like you know maybe you should switch some views back and forth. The only person i kind of think is not a hypocrite is one that doesn't want to kill babies or death penalty either will kill everybody yeah and if we're going to kill everybody i want the prime time rights i've said this for many years yeah this is your goal in life this will be my exit strategy i want to produce oh then dad bb you'd be worth

1:49:00 Billions. I'd be able to pay off that $500 bet in a heartbeat, in the heartbeat. You never pay off the five thousand dollar bet that's for sure. I can do the three by three or we can go through the Iranian professor which I could also push off Well why don't I do two quick fun climate change clips and then and then we can do the 3x3 how does that sound? Alright, so the first one is very underreported and it is climate change related but the farmers in Europe are on the move everywhere.

CHAPTER 27 / 41 Discussion

European Farmer Protests, Ukraine Agriculture, Boeing in Kyiv

Farmers across Europe, including France, Belgium, and Germany, use tractors to block major roads and protest EU environmental regulations and cheap imports from Ukraine. The hosts highlight a report celebrating Boeing's 10th anniversary in Kyiv, noting that the company employs 1,200 engineers in Ukraine. They suggest that large corporations like Cargill and Boeing have deep vested interests in the region that are not being fully reported.

farmer protests· brussels· ukraine· boeing· kyiv· cargill

1:49:39 All countries. They're not very well covered by the way. At all! Tractors clogged Luxembourg Square in Brussels Thursday during an EU summit, their goal deliver their message of less bureaucracy and better prices a movement that started several weeks ago in the south of France has now erupted across Europe with farmers now blocking roads in Portugal Belgium Germany Poland, Romania, Italy and Spain. And in France the anger has moved from the provinces to Paris Earlier this week farmers blocked major arteries into Paris with their tractors and yesterday almost 80 people were arrested outside the international food market to the south of Paris after farmers descended on the area and were met by armored vehicles

1:50:18 Their anger is centered around the need to make more money. They generally say they need less red tape, less environmental restrictions and protection from cheap foreign imports France has proposed giving livestock farmers 150 million euros per year to ease their concerns The EU Commission has responded by suggesting they'll limit Ukrainian imports of sugar poultry and eggs They say it will also ease restrictions on use of land left fallow for environmental reasons But the plans still needs to be approved by 27-country member bloc in European Parliament By the way, not a mainstream clip. You cannot get a mainstream clip that overviews all of these protests on all of these roads... No! There's nothing we're not covering it

1:50:58 And especially with the farmers where they have their armored tanks and tractors on one side. It's unbelievable, this is going on all over the place and a lot of it does have to do with this Ukraine war because you just saw the little clip in there... Oh yeah no! All the Ukraine... Kargile owns Ukraine farms so let's move them into Europe You know what? I want to do the last climate change clip but i got a PDF from one of our producers And it's, you know I'm gonna open it up here. This is celebrating 10 years in Ukraine! Tenth anniversary of Boeing and Ukraine a decade of growth! I did not know this

1:51:40 In January 2014, that's the year of the Maidan putsch. That's when the United States primarily took over the entire country The very first engineers walked into the brand new Boeing Engineering and Technology Center in Kiev Ukraine A decade later Kiev is home to almost 1200 engineers Together they support engineering for almost all of Boeing's commercial platforms Initially the site started operations with no more than 50 engineers focusing on engineering products related to the second generation 737 and the Boeing 757. What are the chances that some of these things are coming out of Ukraine? And 10 years, ten years of Boeing in Ukraine did you know this?" No I didn't until you just said it right now i didn't know it

1:52:30 I mean that's really... Why are we sending them any jets? Why don't they just make some F-35s right there in Ukraine, as Boeing. They do the 777, the 777, the 777X, the 737, they did a 787 program, as well as payload design for 737 and 777 and the eco demonstrator whatever The local Boeing team made the courageous decision to continue their work during the war Boeing Global is providing unwavering support, ensuring the safety of employees. I mean come on! It's like that's the last thing you'd expect that Boeing has been there for they're celebrating 10 years We're not being told anything This is not news that you're watching people stop it and get off social media while you are out Of course they take and bomb the Antonov plant Yeah yeah which makes a better jet than Boeing mm-hmm. It's got more engines

CHAPTER 28 / 41 Discussion

Al Gore Climate Warnings, Carbon Credits, Inflation Reduction Act

Al Gore appears on CNN with Christiane Amanpour, using "Oppenheimer-era" atomic bomb analogies to describe global heat trapping. The discussion covers new IRS rules allowing small businesses to sell energy tax credits, a provision of the Inflation Reduction Act. The hosts remain skeptical of claims that inflation is cooling, arguing that interest rates should be raised rather than cut.

al gore· christiane amanpour· james hansen· carbon credits· irs

1:53:24 Alright, here's my final climate change clip. It's a classic because he brings back some super tropes that we love. It's Christiane Amanpour the globalist on CNN International with her fellow globalist Al Gore. So I just want to ask you, James Hansen the NASA expert who was one of the first on climate warnings has warned that unless there's some massively radical thing to happen very soon The magic 1.5 degrees number will be surpassed

1:54:03 And there seems to be a struggle over the experts over that. Where do you come down on that? I like how she talks about the magic 1.5 number, that's kind of a set up. It is a magic number! Yeah which is exactly right, she has got the right language there. Well it's a magic number! Well I have the deepest respect for Jim Hansen and also for his colleagues who have a slightly different view, but they agree on most things. You know half of the calendar days in 2023 were actually above 1.5 and in November there were two days above a 2 degree margin above the pre-industrial temperature so yes we're running out of time to solve this end time and we're running some unacceptably high risks with large global

1:54:52 systems that are important for the flourishing of humanity that are now being destabilized. So, the sooner the better! The issue you're referring to is over how sensitive the climate is to more and more greenhouse gas pollution Come on, Al. Ultimately they agree on far more than they disagree They're all saying the same thing We gotta switch away from fossil fuels as quickly as possible and stop using the sky As an open sewer That's the basic problem Well he's back to the sky as an open sewer! We're putting 162 million tons up there every day And the accumulated amount It stays on average each molecule for about 100 years And the accumulated amount today, Christian

1:55:39 is trapping as much extra heat as would be released by 750,000 Hiroshima-class Oppenheimer era atomic bombs exploding on the earth every single day. He's expanded it to Oppenheimer era! This is beautiful Al I love it Well, he gets a movie reference in. Yeah? Oh yeah! So for you dummies out there who don't know anything... About Hiroshima. ...about Hiroshima the old bomb and all the rest of it we have to bring in the movie reference so you dummies can understand what I'm trying to talk about here nobody's listening to me 750 thousand Hiroshima Oppenheimer era bombs A day?! I want that on a T-shirt It's beautiful

1:56:29 Al Gore. Al Gore, gotta love him. All we need is a price on carbon once we get that price on carbon were good to go then everybody can shut up did I tell you do we talk about the fact that the IRS has they've created some rules and they've stopped a lot of them but if you have a company it could also just be an LLC If you do something that creates carbon credits, you can sell those. So you don't have to be a big corporation. You can be a small LLC and plant some trees. We've talked about this strategy before. Yeah like 10 years ago? But now they are allowing it that you can sell your energy tax credits to any other company. What's the mechanism

1:57:26 I'm sure that they'll have some exchange. I don't know, but this is from the tax guys who are telling me this and it might be on the books but that doesn't mean you can do it Well... It says it right there and I'd have to look it up because it was a couple shows ago I guess we didn't talk about But yeah, this is part of the Inflation Reduction Act. You get half of anything that you do tax credit for so if you just buy a car like an EV...you don't even have to use the EV! You can write off half of it in tax credits. Don't even have to drive it. It says it

1:58:10 I don't think inflation is going to come down anytime soon. I think we're in for a, what were they talking about? Oh we'll be cutting interest rates! Now it will be March! Maybe it may...I don't think that's going to happen at all I don't think they should be cutting them. No, they should be raising them! If the economy is going to way Biden claims which is watching Welker on that show oh my god you know things are so going well we got no interest no inflation and there's no unemployment everything's the best economy ever I don't understand why people don't see this and vote for Joe? I got an angry message

CHAPTER 29 / 41 Discussion

3x3 Media Analysis, Fallen Soldiers Ceremony, Phony Theater Claims

The "3x3" segment compares coverage from ABC, CBS, and NBC regarding the U.S. retaliatory strikes and the return of fallen soldiers to Dover Air Force Base. The hosts analyze the scripted nature of the reporting, noting the identical language used across networks. They question the authenticity of the ceremony at Dover, suggesting it may be "theater" due to the specific camera angles and the way President Biden was portrayed.

3x3· mary bruce· abc news· dover afb· lloyd austin

1:58:51 about our millennial Gen Z. There's so many beautiful emails we receive from people... We get tons of good mail for the Gen Zs like to write! Yes, they're very long and some of them love their job and you know they just grind away in these things that they were hoping they would do I love my job and i love what i do the things they were hoping to get into now that you know, they're just doing it as a hobby and they have bought homes and they don't live in cities. And they watch Little House on the Prairie. But I got this one from this one person who was like

1:59:34 It was, you know, boots on the ground how bad the job market actually is. I work construction and had to leave the job my boss was violently attacked My mother got a job as a cashier. My boss ghosted me after I was hospitalized with like just horrible story And so I write back and I say well You know that's it's not really much I mean you've had some bad breaks but it's not like that doesn't happen to lots of people and I get the message back You and John are a couple of old pussies. You would have hung yourself a long time ago in my shoes! Okay, well that kind of ended that conversation Yeah yeah unless you got the wrong guy in dialogue That's right Alright let's hit it everybody Now it's time for 3x3 Experiment by Jesse D There we go everybody Comparing stories from ABC CBS and NBC

2:00:27 The never-ending 3x3. It's the never ending 3x3, which means we have a 3x3 and a plus and we're going to see just how programmed the news is of course this flows through to your social media it's all the clips you see Megyn Kelly will get all upset about it and remember code Bongino at checkout Let's start with Mary Bruce at ABC Oh nice! Tonight, the powerful retaliation the US had promised. Unleashing a major counter-strike on Iran backed militants in Iraq and Syria A direct response to the drone attack that killed three American soldiers And injured more than 40 on a remote U.S base in Jordan

2:01:06 The US saying the airstrikes began at 4 p.m., hitting 85 targets in seven locations inside Iraq and Syria, including command and control operation centers an intelligence hub taking out rockets missiles and attack drones belonging to militia groups and their Iranian sponsors who facilitated attacks against U.S. and coalition forces The US dropping more than 125 precision munitions from multiple aircraft, including B-1 bombers that flew from the US. President Biden tonight saying this is the first wave of a response that will continue at times and places of our choosing.

2:01:44 And warning, the United States does not seek conflict in the Middle East or anywhere else in the world. But let all those who might seek to do us harm know this if you harm an American we will respond. Notably none of today's strikes hit Iran directly The president remains concerned not wanting to start a wider war Just hours before, a powerful reminder of the weight of these decisions. The president performing one of his most solemn duties as commander in chief witnessing the dignified transfer of the three service members killed in Jordan one by one their flag draped cases carefully carried across the tarmac. The President placing his hand over his heart alongside the first lady and Defense Secretary Austin honoring the fallen

2:02:34 You know what gets me about this? It's like, if you hurt an American we're gonna come and get you with our B1 bombers. How about the fentanyl? We all recognize where it comes from! How about Gonzalo Lira? The guy who... Ukrainians killed him! It's so disingenuous! Yes because you're right the whole thing is a facade is bullcrap And by the way don't most of these ceremonies when they come over are draped right out of their things to have families there They didn't have I remember the families there because I remembered the time they did it wait. Wait, they didn't have families There no is just Biden and red flag at the phony Lloyd Austin in the red flag

2:03:17 and the wife. But you remember, because usually the families did it... Because I remember that one time there's a bunch of people who came over and Hillary was the Secretary of State And then the woman-I think we had a clip of it The woman was-she says, Hilary is so cold It was like hugging a lizard You know she went on and on about it Yes! yes, I remember that It's like where are the families? Which brings me, the reason I even bring that up is because you brought up this whole thing may be a phony. It's like a theater. I hate to think and of course if there's a family that is grieving over their service folk then that's horrible but if they weren't even there

2:04:06 That doesn't make it... We have military people. They'll tell me what's going on, you know? Isn't the family by definition flown in for this?" I always thought they were! I don't know. Most of the time i've seen this event which they don't like to show anymore they stopped doing after the Vietnam War but they did at this time as a photo op for Biden obviously even though he had such a look on his face that can use the photo up or anything It's just like he has a grimace on his face, like he doesn't like being there or something. He was very peculiar. Wow. All right well let's go back to...

CHAPTER 30 / 41 Discussion

Tower 22 Defense Failure, Media Narratives, Iranian Response

Media reports from Peter Alexander and Nancy Cordis detail the "dignified transfer" of Sergeants William Rivers, Kennedy Sanders, and Brianna Moffitt. The official explanation for the Tower 22 tragedy—that air defenses were offline to allow a U.S. drone to land—is met with heavy skepticism by the hosts. They also note the "Rocky-level" rhetoric coming from Iran's president regarding potential bullying by "cruel forces."

tower 22· nancy cordis· cbs news· iraq· syria· drones

2:04:42 The three by three and this move to NBC with Peter Alexander. Oh, I hope we have a launch sound. Yeah! Tonight the American retaliatory strikes have begun US Central Command saying late this evening US forces began striking more than 85 targets in Iraq and Syria using numerous aircraft including long-range bombers flown from the U.S.. The targets, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Quds Force and affiliated militia groups hitting their command and control operations centers and intelligence centers. Rockets and missiles and unmanned air vehicle storage among other sites President Biden tonight saying our response began today he will continue at times in places of our choosing adding let all those who might seek to do us harm know this if you harm an American we will respond

2:05:32 The US strikes come in response to that deadly drone attack by Iranian-backed militias that struck Tower 22, a desert outpost in Jordan killing three US service members. That attack among more than 160... I'm sorry, I gotta stop this have you in any of these reports or any report have you heard the names of these three service members? Yeah You have heard the names? Yeah, yeah. They read the names off on a couple of shows. Okay. Killing three US service members that attack among more than 160 against American targets by Iranian backed militias since October President Biden had previously authorized limited strikes in response that even he acknowledged had not deterred the militias and The president has been under pressure to respond more forcefully especially after American service members were killed

2:06:22 All of it just hours after the commander-in-chief performed one of his most solemn duties, attending the dignified transfer at Dover Air Force Base as the remains of those three US service members returned home. The president and first lady joining the grieving families of 46 year old Sergeant William Rivers... Oh! I bet you know that they say that they joined a family? I saw pictures of them standing there. He didn't see any family people but okay if he says so then maybe they were The president and first lady joining the grieving families of 46-year old Sergeant William Rivers, a soldier's soldier his cousin said. 24 year old Sergeant Kennedy Sanders whose family said she was always full of life and 23 year old sergeant Brianna Moffitt her parents remembering how she could light up a room the US today also launching preemptive strikes on the Iranian backed Houthis All I see is pictures of them with other service personnel

2:07:17 People in uniform. I don't see necessarily with families, but okay I mean I'd I don't want to harp on it too much But the way he also put if you parsed it could have been that Biden met with the families elsewhere They weren't on the tarmac Necessarily if you listen to the way he presented that yeah whatever and that was Peter Alexander now we're gonna move to Nancy Cordes One of the top rung of the uh reporters for CBS. Cbs pentagon officials say two oh come on cbs is that a nat pop they start off with like a like a little like a little fart I think they show all of them in this state there's just something i think they put the sound in differently but if i'm not mistaken most these reports always showed the b1 bomber taking off

2:08:08 Which is quite a pretty sight. I mean the B-1 bomber's just a beautiful product. It has no hands enough! Pentagon officials say two B-1 bombers were among the military aircraft used to strike more than 85 targets in Iraq and Syria Two. The targets included command and control centers, weapons depots and drone storage facilities all of them linked to Iran's Revolutionary Guard and affiliated militia groups. Oh they're affiliates? The strikes were approved by the president and launched just a few hours after he welcomed the bodies of three fallen service members back to US soil at 4pm. Welcomed?! Welcomeed?? This is...

2:08:49 This is disgusting. Welcome back boys, girl, boys welcome back! Come on... That usage is dubious. It's dubious indeed. It's cringy and gross. All three were stationed in Jordan at a US outpost known as Tower 22 that came under fire last Sunday. I can tell you right now there's going to be a movie titled Tower 22 it will be Amazon Prime or Netflix the basis well, you know did The title itself is there. Yeah, for the taking. It's a good title. This this is the lie. This is the lie with no that came under fire last Sunday

2:09:47 The base's air defense system had been temporarily taken offline to allow a US drone to return from a mission safely. Okay, so I just want to know what was this? A helicopter drone? I'd like to know a little bit more and why did you have to take your air defense systems offline This is very, this is very. I'm with you 100%. Okay and I said 100% I'll say it again. I'll take a hundred percent. I am with you 99.9%. An Iranian made drone struck sleeping quarters at the base wounding 40 and killing Army Reserve soldiers Will Rivers Brianna Moffett and Kennedy Sanders We know that you can definitely feel our pain President Biden called their anguished families this week

2:10:32 Look, I know. I really do know. I got one of those phone calls... This is all- oh my god! This is not how you do this? You don't air the phone calls?! Oh let's do a Zoom call and let's release it to CBS That's a good point. I've never seen those are private calls that should don't wouldn't go on the air that is less it was staged wrong US officials blamed the attack on the Islamic resistance in Iraq an umbrella group of Iran-backed militias, I don't think The adversaries are have a one and done mindset And so

2:11:16 They have a lot of capability. I have a lot more wary of setting off a wider war the US has avoided striking Iran directly despite at least 165 attacks on us forces in Iraq and Syria since the Israel Hamas conflict began last October Iran's president warned today we will not start a war but if a cruel force wants to bully us the Islamic Republic of Iran will give a strong response. This is some rocky level crap they're pulling in here, this is dumb I can't believe them I'm ashamed I'm ashamed

CBC Strike Coverage, Khashoggi Comparison, Military Industrial Complex

The CBC provides a summary of the 85 targets struck by the U.S. military, including logistics and intelligence centers. The hosts contrast the lack of outrage over the death of American journalist Gonzalo Lira in a Ukrainian prison with the years of coverage dedicated to Jamal Khashoggi. They conclude that the military-industrial complex is "out of control" and may be escalating conflicts before a potential Trump presidency.

cbc· lloyd austin· gonzalo lira· jamal khashoggi· trump

2:11:58 I am ashamed. Ashamed of this, ashamed of what they're doing, ashamed of the reporting, ashamed that people watch it, ashamed there's money in this... Bring back Taylor Swift! That's what we're gonna do. All right, here we go with the CBC this is like the bonus clip and this is Chris oh we didn't do CBS yet well that was CBS yeah that wasn't yes with a bad Nat pop yeah okay let's go to CBC and wrap this thing up at 4 p.m. Eastern Time US military forces struck more than 85 targets in Iraq and Syria These strikes were against Iranian Revolutionary Guard targets and other Iranian-backed militia. The facilities that were struck included command and control operation centers, intelligence centers, rockets and missiles in unmanned aerial vehicle storages and logistics and munitions supply chain facilities

2:12:50 Syrian state media says the strikes hit near the border between the two countries and several people are dead. Used in the attack, and again this is from U.S. Central Command aircraft including long-range bombers flown from the US as well as 125 smart weapons capable of precise target hits U.S President Joe Biden said then, Paul that the US will respond and today the president is in his home in Delaware after spending the afternoon at Dover Air Force Base at a ceremony for those fallen soldiers Well speaking of Biden then any word on this from The White House?

2:13:27 The president just issued a statement, Paul shortly after the strikes. He said in part and let me just read it to you exactly as it is written this afternoon at my direction US military forces struck targets at facilities in Iraq and Syria that the IRGC and affiliated militia used to attack us forces Our response began today, it will continue at times and places of our choosing. The United States does not seek conflict in the Middle East or anywhere else in the world but let all those who might seek to do us harm know this if you harm an American we will respond

2:14:03 Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin added to that in his own statement, Paul. He said the president and I will not tolerate attacks on American forces we will take all necessary actions to defend the United States our forces and our interests Which again brings up your point about what about that journalist guy character? That's been detained in Ukraine No he was killed! He died in prison Oh, I didn't know he died. Yeah oh yeah this is a weeks ago. So they don't care about him? What do we do about that? No nothing we don't care no but what you know what have to do we have to spend months and months and months crying about uh... was that guy the journalist The Washington Post journalist Khashoggi

2:14:52 He wasn't even an American. And we didn't go over and blow up... he wasn't American, well that's why we didn't go blow up Saudi Arabia There's probably other reasons we didn't blow up Saudi Arabia. I'm just gonna say this is all, this is all theater and you know the end...I don't know but I'm still reeling over the fact that Israel somehow let guys come over with motor gliders and then the fence was open The military-industrial complex writ large is out of control And they don't care I think, well the don't care part is like...I think they do care and they and i think your earlier thesis oh i'm sorry hypothesis yeah hypothesis yes was um

2:15:40 About once they know once Trump gets in this is the game might be over. Let's spend spend spend us have some fun Let's rack up the money fattened up to back account set up a Swiss account unless it's ready to party When Trump comes in with all over time, it's all ending people It's all ending And with that I'd like to thank you for your courage say in the morning to you The man who put the C in the cutting bloat ladies and gentlemen say hello to my friend on the other end The one only mr.. John Well in the morning to you Mr. Adam Curry also in the morning all ships and sea boots on the ground feet in the air Subs in the water and all the dames and knights out there And in the morning to the trolls in the troll room listening online they are our live studio audience I'd like y'all to stop don't move around hold on a second Stop moving! You can't get them to sit still not for a second, they're like cabbage patch kids

CHAPTER 32 / 41 Discussion

Value for Value, Modern Podcast Apps, No Agenda Community

Adam and John discuss the "Value for Value" model, encouraging listeners to use modern podcast apps like Fountain and Podverse. They emphasize that the show is supported entirely by the community rather than advertisers, which allows them to critique industries like Big Pharma. Adam mentions a recent dinner with producers Ashley and Ben in Fredericksburg as an example of the show's strong community ties.

value for value· podverse· fountain· podcasting 2.0· ashley and ben

2:16:34 2123 today on the total count. Short? Yes, you shouldn't make fun of their physical appearance. They're all very short. What was the word I missed it? I said midget. Midget?! Can't say midget. You can't say midget anymore? No, you can't be able to say midget unless you're my age for the last 25 years. They are short trolls indeed well those trolls are listening at noagendastream.com or probably logged in a trollroom.io where we have a chat room you can listen live

2:17:15 You can listen to all kinds of dynamite programming on noagendastream.com, no commercials it's all value for value everyone helping each other out it really is a beautiful community that we have there and you can also always listen to those in the modern podcast apps since they got so much grief for promoting Podverse today I'll promote Fountain. They have a new version of... It will give you grief You gave me grief. You accused me of taking money on the sly from the open source project! Well, you're going to need it if they can pay that $500 off I get it now. He's right. Hopefully I'll get 500 bucks from Oscar Mary over there at Fountain. He and his brother literally work on that together but they have a new version out and its very fast and has quick alerts The cool thing about all these apps which you can find at modernpodcastapps.com is as soon as we publish this show

2:18:09 90 seconds later you get an alert. You don't have to wait around like any of the other legacy apps We are value for value going all the way back to those clips that you heard early on and it makes sense because we clearly could not get any advertising ragging on the big pharma and medical industrial complex as early as episode 343. So we decided, you know what? We'll just have everybody support us and it caught on and people have been supporting us now in our 16th year. We appreciate it. We put the value out there without hurdles or paywalls or any other complications anybody can copy these shows put them on their own server back in the day people used to put them on CDs and distribute them that's kind of fallen out of vogue

2:19:01 For a while, people were putting on USB sticks and everyone got afraid of that because it's an attack vector. So now you just copy it onto social media throw it anywhere you want people like hey should put it on X why don't you put it on X? I don't care all we want is more people to hear more people be able to access it And send us some value back when you feel its appropriate time talent or treasure We accept all of it The time and the talent comes in so many different ways. People organizing meetups, actually we had dinner last night with producer Ashley and her husband Ben they were coming through Fredericksburg for her 40th anniversary they had organized I think one of the first Minneapolis Meetups in the middle of winter and had 30 people show up and were just blown away by the community that is comprised of No Agenda slaves and producers

2:19:55 We also love it when you send us treasure that does keep the lights on everywhere and we want to start by thanking our executive and associate executive producer. Oh wait, before we do that let's thank our artists almost passed over it! We need to thank the artist who brought us the artwork because this is a big piece of time in talent. We have multiple pieces to choose from every single show and we want to thank Nesworks I said 40th, and Tina's texting me. Did i not say 40th birthday? did I say 50th or 100th birthday? did I make her older than she is? What you got a back channel going on with Tina as your keeping you honest yeah of course hello she's a producer

CHAPTER 33 / 41 Discussion

Art Selection, Potty Mouth Parrots, No Agenda Art Generator

The hosts review the artwork submitted for the episode, ultimately choosing a piece by Nesworks featuring Mark Zuckerberg with "blood on his hands" and a Monopoly-style cane. They credit Paul Couture for maintaining the No Agenda Art Generator website. Other submissions discussed include "A Little Psyop on the Prairie" and various Taylor Swift-themed pieces.

nesworks· zuckerberg· go bag· paul couture· no agenda art

2:20:35 She does a lot for the show. Stuff you don't even... He's gonna be very happy about the $500. Yeah, rub it in! I know yeah, oh I know believe me trust me and i know what's going to happen there I said 40th anniversary is her 40th birthday. Yeah, i got a back channel She's the best man You should be happy where-where's your back channel with your family? Are they listening? Nobody cares Hey nestworks brought us the artwork for episode 1630 uh that was titled potty mouth parrots Uh which is a title you were just dying to get out there and There were a number of

2:21:18 candidates, I have to go look at the submitted art. The one we chose by Nesworks was Zuckerberg with blood on his hands with a Go bag that had a little transistor radio and a toothbrush in there and it would... Oh! I missed that. Oh you didn't see the transistor radio in the toothbrush? Well I mean looking at now I see its obvious and I don't get the cane though what was the cane referenced to? Well I think it's the Monopoly guy isn't it Oh, right. Right! That's exactly what it is. The guy should have the top hat and the whole thing perfect. Yeah, that's a nice idea. I missed that too.

2:21:57 Neswork's piece was dynamite. Yes, the more you look at it... It's like the Mona Lisa! The longer you look at it, the more you see. It's just beautiful. Perfect piece. But you did like that piece next to it? Yes Francisco Scaramanga had a go-bag submerged in water with fish I just liked the go bag idea so I was okay with...I think that the Nesworks' Go Bag was funnier Yeah, I didn't get to fish in the goldfish. Well it was because you were complaining about flooding It was your go bag because you know... You are flooding Sweet Cheeks submitted a... that looks like kind of designer Go Bag

2:22:42 Which I wasn't quite sure. That's not a Louis Vuitton, looks like a Gucci maybe? I'm not sure. It does look Louis Vuitton to me. No, I think it's Gucci that design is not...I think that's Louie. Number of people sending Taylor Swift. Too small! Taylor Swift which nah we're probably gonna do Taylor Swift. No. Taylor Swift's verboten don't do Taylor Swift There were two swearing parrots which didn't quite hit it A little sigh up on the prairie, funny but not great execution. I kind of liked Dame Kenny Bentz false flag it was just cute but you nixed that and was there anything else we liked or is that it? I didn't think the false flag indicated much of anything no this Nessworks piece was hard to beat yeah it was good We appreciate the work of all our artists of course

2:23:41 example of time and talent being put in there doing it live. You can look at it at Noah ArtGenerator dot com, another perfect example of time and talents are Paul Couture who puts that together for us and keeps that running And this upgrade is just phenomenal It's so beautiful the way everything set and artists have a beautiful profile pages now with more information than ever So This is the only way that podcasts really can survive, by support from the people who listen. We do not call listeners we call you producers and you have an obligation to produce it can be boots on the ground it can be a jingle we have lots of those got some tonne of good news jingles as requested

At 10 News photojournalist Greg Moore shows us the passion behind her unique rescue project So I've got these smushy apples to the chickens. They love almost any food! We have four chickens... Hi girls! This one is Fiona, hi investigator! And then the other white one over here is Featherfoot And that's a brownie in there. A lot of people think of chickens as egg or meat dispensers, but I see them as animals with personalities. This is Featherfoot! I want to adopt more. She was pretty fluffy chicky and investigator Even when she was itty-bitty she was out there playing with the chickens

3:00:09 She could barely even talk at the time, but she was herding chickens. It was pretty cute. They're really nice to just hang out with so sometimes I like to take my schoolwork out there and do it with them. She says that she wants to start her own chicken sanctuary. Look, is that yummy? Your chicken rescue center...so that's one of her dreams If you have a dog or cat that you really love and get lots of snuggles and treats toys. I do sort of the same thing for my chickens, i like to hold them and snuggle with them. Oh how cute! That's adorable yeah I mean chickens with personalities they're just her pets don't think of that so much.
