About this episode

Special Counsel Robert Hur released a 350-page report detailing President Joe Biden's unauthorized retention of classified materials at the Biden Penn Center and his private residence. The document describes Biden as a well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory, a characterization that prompted a defensive evening press conference where the president mistakenly referred to the leader of Egypt as the President of Mexico.

Mainstream media narratives have shifted toward questioning Biden's mental competency, with some analysts suggesting this serves as a precursor to invoking the 25th Amendment. Meanwhile, Tucker Carlson conducted a two-hour interview with Vladimir Putin in Moscow, where the Russian leader expressed a willingness to negotiate a settlement for the war in Ukraine. In domestic news, a 15-year-old migrant from Venezuela was arrested for a shooting in Times Square, and New York City Mayor Eric Adams cut $60 million from school food budgets to manage the rising costs of the migrant crisis.

Vice President Kamala Harris labeled the Special Counsel's findings as gratuitous and inaccurate while drawing on her background as a prosecutor to defend the administration. In a lighter segment, Reverend Al Sharpton repeatedly mispronounced the name of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas during a broadcast, and Sunny Hostin discovered her ancestors were Spanish slaveholders during an appearance on Finding Your Roots.

Taylor Swift Super Bowl Sunday Presence, NORAD Flight Tracking

Taylor Swift arrived in Los Angeles from Tokyo before traveling to Las Vegas for Super Bowl Sunday. Media outlets reportedly requested that NORAD track her private plane in a manner similar to Santa Claus, but the public affairs office declined the request. Speculation continues regarding her potential appearance during the halftime show featuring Usher.

00:00 What a great time to be doing And from Northern Silicon Valley, we finally realize it's Super Bowl Sunday. I'm John C. Dvorak. And I will for the last two weeks. Yeah, sports ball is all these Sportsball talk shows is only do that mean? I don't know how much you can talk about something to such an extreme Jack Jack Jack Jack Jack Jack Jack Jack never ends. Sorry before we continue. I want to warn everybody

01:02 several times during today's broadcast we will be switching away to cutaways of Taylor Swift. Oh, we all need to calm down and I'm not talking about the podcast! I'm talking about having Taylor Swift here... There you go just once in awhile we gotta cut to Taylor Swift so we all have seen that she is here. I think she is gonna come out on stage at the half time show. Did this... Okay, calm down She's not going to come out on... Do you think she's gonna come out on stage at the half time show with Usher? Naked. I wanted to give us a little props, so i got a note from our boots on the ground that M5M news quote-quote-quote news outlets were pitching NORAD to have Taylor Swift's plane tracked they called the public affairs office they really wanted this just like Santa Claus and they all said no but we were right that is it's the extent of peak swiftness

02:04 Well, the problem is of course... Is that she actually landed yesterday morning. Is this true? I thought she had a concert, just to jump on the plane from the country... Yeah but it's the day ahead and so it's like... So she already there... She came-she has already been back yesterday morning and she landed in LA in the morning and got the Florida yesterday. This is disappointing! That ruined it. That ruined the idea for NORAD. Yeah well thats disappointing. I thought we were going to get her track in you know have Her cutaways of her convoy coming from the airport. Will she make it in time? She make it in time, brother Yeah That's what you would that would be ideal if we were producing it We do fake that you know it could still happen and we'd do that we would do that right away They get fake at the way they did The last good news clip from last show I got a lot of flack from

Milwaukee Police News Clip Authenticity, NBC News Reporting

A previously aired news segment featuring a Milwaukee police officer was criticized for containing staged clips and sweetened audio. While the underlying story was verified as legitimate by local research, the production methods used by NBC News were highlighted as an example of poor journalistic standards.

milwaukee police· nbc news· news reporting· staged clips· media criticism

03:03 Oh, I even yes. Yes people were very disappointed by they felt like being disappointed but including him or what we have a Milwaukee police guy who did a lot of research on this and he said research found the city everything all the details it was it was a legit story but my commentary and I never said it wasn't a legit story I said that it was sweetened with a lot staged clips within it, which is what NBC does. I think they do some of the poorest news reporting... I don't think you covered your tracks very well either was no I didn't die for got to use these there's no evidence I mean if you did not do a great job

03:48 But the fact is that there's no way that some of those clips they could have even had them so. It's alright, everybody loves you Especially a little girl in the back seat going where's daddy? Where did they get that recording? John it's okay The thing that I was amazed by is that so many people listen all the way to the end of the show. Like, this is good! All the cops do for sure This is...this is good we love that You have cops in their car they're doing it on patrol Of course what else are you gonna do? Listen to the show of course. You know it Alright my assessment inside attack 25th amendment on deck Biden realizes he's in trouble

President Joe Biden Special Counsel Report, Mental Acuity Press Conference

Special Counsel Robert Hur released a report on President Joe Biden's handling of classified documents, describing the president as a sympathetic, well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory. Biden held a hastily called evening press conference to defend his mental faculties, during which he mistakenly referred to the President of Egypt as the President of Mexico.

joe biden· robert hur· classified documents· special counsel· memory

04:34 Biden doesn't realize anything. No, did you watch the whole press conference from beginning to end? Yes I watched the whole thing what the whole seven minutes 17 was 17 minutes Okay and The way the news cut this up they're in on it obviously Because yeah, he made a mistake about Sisi. Okay? I mean obviously that's not your top-level performance presidential material But the way they were cutting in well...I have some clips obviously The way they were cutting in some of his responses to make it look even worse Yeah! He came out he was ready to defend his stance He fumbled a few things but they turned this into he's a bumbling idiot

05:22 and his... Okay, let's start off. The main talking point angry and defiant! President Biden? Well hold on a second you're just going right into the story without giving any background for anyone who might be listening overseas or any place else about what we're talking about Oh but everybody understands Taylor Swift Biden came out well it's in the report the background is in there go on and describe A report came out. Yeah, but it's in this clip that explains- Okay well if this is all covered in the clip then play the clip first. Yes thank you for slowing the pace down President Biden angry and defiant My memory is fine In a hastily called evening news conference The president responding directly to special counsel Robert Herr's report on his handling of classified documents

06:16 the document. That included a blistering assessment of the 81 year old's age and what the report called his diminished faculties in advancing age, The president slamming her assessment that he did not remember when his son Bo died. How on hell dare he raise that? I don't need anyone. remind me when he passed away. The remarks coming hours after the special counsel said our investigation uncovered evidence that President Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency, but said no criminal charges are warranted in this matter adding to the jury would likely see the president as a sympathetic well meaning an elderly man with a poor memory.

07:01 I'm in a world meeting and i'm an elderly man, and I know what the hell i'm doing. All of the news reports all the packages had this where they say oh he's an elderly man with poor memory and they cut to him saying i'm an elderly man with poor memory but in context He was complaining about that one sentence for people and most people of course don't watch the full thing It really sounds like, oh my God the guy is toast. Not saying he isn't but it wasn't all that bad. Pathetic well-meaning and elderly man with a poor memory. I'm well meaning and i'm an old man and I know what the hell i'm doing. Moments later the president confusing Mexico and Egypt when talking about the crisis in Gaza

07:48 The president of Mexico, Osisi did not want to open up the gate to allow humanitarian material to get in. And I'm not defending Biden but i just want to point out that the news is in on this M5M because it wasn't moments later he'd actually walked off and they came back to answer some questions about Israel so was separated by many minutes I believe you have some clips about the documents themselves, which i'd like to give you uh some space to talk about and then I would like to go back to the M5M analysis and packages. Well, first of all I have a couple of clips here that I want to play That's what I just suggested The gaffe that i thought was the bad one which came right at the beginning when he is all upset about not remembering the day his son died Which I believe it probably true and probably documented

08:45 But is the gaffe that he made right there when he came out to deny it, which is this one. Which I still think was the big gaffe of the day not the Mexico one but this is Biden our lady of gaffe. I know there's some attention paid in some language and report about my recollection of events There's even reference that I don't remember when my son died How on hell dare he raise that? Frankly, when I was asked the question, I thought to myself it wasn't any of their damn business. Let me tell you something. Some of you have commented and I wear since the day he died every single day the rosary he got from Our Lady of... Yeah. This uh... Every Memorial Day we hold a service remembering him attending by friends and family and people who loved him

CHAPTER 04 / 50 Discussion

Middle East Negotiations, Saudi Arabia Israel Normalization

President Joe Biden discussed ongoing hostage negotiations and a potential ceasefire in Gaza, suggesting that Hamas may have attacked on October 7th to disrupt a normalization deal between Israel and Saudi Arabia. The administration was reportedly working on a deal involving US security commitments and ammunition for the Saudis in exchange for recognizing Israel.

gaza· saudi arabia· israel· hamas· abraham accords

09:36 Well, yeah. Our lady of and then he couldn't remember where it was. Now since you bring that up... Lady of Guadalupe by the way for anyone who doesn't know. Since you bring that up when he came back to respond to I guess a screaming reporter well they were all there were all screaming reporters He had said something under his breath and then he came with what i thought was quite the revelation He wants to talk about the hostage negotiation and he says something like, how do I say this without revealing anything? So there's some plans. And so that's what we're pushing around. I'm pushing very hard now to deal with this hostage ceasefire because as you know, I've been working tirelessly in this deal

10:26 How can I say this without revealing? How can i say this without revealing if I was if I wasn't using to go If I was a hostage, I'd be very worried about this guy To lead to a sustained pause in the fighting and the actions taking place in in the Gaza Strip And because I think if we could get the delay for that, an initial delay. I think that we would be able to extend that so that we could increase the prospect that this fighting in Gaza changes there's also negotiations." Now listen to what he says now. He talks about just before October 7th. You may recall

11:12 In the very beginning, right after... Right before Hamas attacked. Right after? Right before?! I was in contact with the Saudis and others to work out a deal where they would recognize Israel's right to exist let them make them part of the Middle East and recognize them fully in return for certain things that United States would commit to do equipment that we were proposed to do related to two items I'm not going to go in detail, but one of them was to deal with the protection against their arch enemy to the northwest and northeast I should say Who's the archenemy to the north east northwest northeast? Who is he talking about Saudi Arabia yeah second one by providing ammunition and material for them to defend themselves coincidentally

12:03 That's the time frame when this broke out. I have no proof what i'm about to say, but it's not unreasonable to suspect that Hamas understood what was about to take place and wanted to break it up before it happened." So he's responsible? No we-I think this was actually discussed before when the Hamas did their thing on the 7th Biden was in the process of closing out the Abraham Accords that were set up by Trump to normalize relationships between Israel and Saudi Arabia, which Iranians didn't want. But he mentioned ammunitions! He was going to give him munitions? That wasn't in the initial analysis...

Jen Psaki MSNBC Gaffe, Silent Generation vs Baby Boomers

MSNBC host Jen Psaki incorrectly identified Joe Biden as a Baby Boomer during a segment comparing his age to Donald Trump. Biden, born in 1942, belongs to the Silent Generation, while the oldest Baby Boomers were born in 1946. Critics noted the irony of a professional media staff allowing such a factual error during a segment about political gaffes.

jen psaki· msnbc· baby boomers· silent generation· joe biden

12:50 No, I don't remember that either. So clearly the guy's no good but you know is the focus on his memory is quite astounding so he...so today's bonus clip is coming up I was watching Saki this morning. So she's defending him and slamming a pen into the ground, and she made a big point by taking like five Trump clips showing well everybody makes mistakes! And she shows shows Klump saying Sioux City instead of Sioux Falls South Dakota has Trump saying Biden is going to start World War II

13:34 So, hey he's not the only crazy old coot. She's hardly at the same league as Biden, but she goes on to claim that they are. And then she says this and I'm thinking people make gaffes all the time but they usually don't have a staff of people directors producers writers people in the control room where she says the following 81 year old Joe Biden is running against 77 year old not a sprite Donald Trump

14:10 Whoever you may wish was running, it is time to settle into the fact that there will be two baby boomers competing for the White House in November. That is what's happening." Now what did she say? 87-year old Biden?! No she said 82 or 81 or 82 year old Biden. 77 years. She says a 71 year old Trump. Let me hear it again hold on. 81 year old Joe Biden is running against... 77 year old not a sprite Donald Trump! Not a sprite?? Not a sprite, well... No that's not the gaff. Whoever you may wish was running it is time to settle into the fact that there will be two baby boomers competing for the White House in November! That is what's happening! Baby Boomers? You didn't get any either but that's why you need a staff if you have a staff of people this wouldn't happen Biden is not a baby boomer

15:02 He's from the great generation? He is from the silent generation. The great generation was the ones that were in World War I. Two! The point is, Biden is the only silent-generation president we've ever had because there are a bunch of guys who weren't... their parents were probably not at war they're home having babies And he's not a baby boomer. The baby boomers get blamed for everything, all the silent generation screw-ups and there are tons of them like Biden are always pushed into the baby boomer group when they're not. They're not baby boomers! He is NOT a baby boomer! The oldest baby boomers are 77 max

15:52 After they were born in 1946, Biden was born in the 30s or something. I don't know when he was born. Well, I think they should fire the entire staff and Psaki! Get rid of him for this horrible gaffe! The point is if you're gonna go on and on about making gaffes and pointing out that Trump makes a gaffe and he makes a gaffe then you don't make a gaffe It's better formed that way. I'm in total agreement Let me lead into your document clips Because CBS, I think CBS was really they were cutting. They were cutting on the President. Let's start with President Biden having to defend his mental capabilities described in the report is sympathetic elderly man who is well meaning that is not how you want your president to be perceived no but he could that he leaned right into it last night and said I am a sympathetic elderly man who has a good memory and That'll be the that's not what he said He just repeated about the reports said thing he's got

CHAPTER 06 / 50 Discussion

Media Narrative Shift, 25th Amendment Discussion

Mainstream media coverage of the Special Counsel report has shifted toward questioning President Biden's mental competency for office. Some analysts suggest this narrative serves as a precursor to invoking the 25th Amendment, though such a move would require the initiation of Vice President Kamala Harris and a majority of the cabinet.

25th amendment· white house· mainstream media· impeachment· voter perception

16:52 convince and prove to voters over the next several months. I mean, yesterday in many ways encapsulated what so many voters tell us they're so worried about two guys one who has to spend a lot of time this year in a courtroom another who is perceived as a nice guy but perhaps too old and unable to do the job at this point they gotta figure out which one these guys prefer. To Gail's point perception is reality though when it comes to the voters This year is an important year And when he has these moments, I mean this is something that is glaring moving into this year. And if you're holding a press conference about your mental acuity and to mix up Egypt and Mexico, Mexico's not even in the conversation no questions about Mexico it's not the topic of the press conference exactly It's not a good look No! It was also about the southern border of Gaza so he went to Mexico who among us hasn't screwed those two countries before but we're

17:43 president. And that's the real concern that they have at the White House, and they're going to have to prove it." So my entire analysis here is that the media is not defending Biden at all! They're doubling down, they're cutting in bits where he was just repeating what was in the report and making it sound as if he said that last night...as an idiot. 25th Amendment on deck? This is to make him look impeachable. We only need a couple of people to jump in." No, no! As far as I know and you can correct me if you know i'm wrong

CHAPTER 07 / 50 Discussion

Kamala Harris Defense, Prosecutor Integrity Claims

Vice President Kamala Harris defended President Biden's mental sharpness, calling the Special Counsel's report "gratuitous, inaccurate, and inappropriate." Drawing on her background as a prosecutor, Harris criticized the integrity of the report while emphasizing her own presence in high-level military and intelligence meetings following the October 7th attacks.

kamala harris· robert hur· prosecutor· naval academy· commander-in-chief

18:22 The 25th amendment has to be initiated by the vice president who's all in with Biden. That's... okay, you want me- He came out and she made big statements about how sharp his attack is and blah blah blah No I disagree with you! I think this is an attack by Kamala or she's in on it She had a set up question She was doing a whole different spiel there the vice president I think is that the Naval Academy It was about something completely different. No, I'm talking about the sit down! I am talking about the immediate reaction which got most of the press. The immediate reaction that i saw that got most of the press is her sitting down saying facts are wrong Biden's sharp as a tack

19:09 I want you to listen to this and see if i can change your mind. Set up question by some rookie reporter who she thanks profusely in the beginning and at the end, And then she goes on to compare herself to the president as a wartime president. I'm glad you asked. I'm glad you ask as we agreed to beforehand. Listen, listen, I have been privileged and proud to serve as vice president of the United States with Joe Biden is President of the United States and what I saw that report last night? I believe is As a former prosecutor

19:58 The comments that were made by that prosecutor, gratuitous, inaccurate and inappropriate. October 7th Israel experienced a horrific attack and I will tell you we got the calls the president and myself in hours after that occurred It was an intense moment for the commander-in-chief of the United States of America, and I was in almost every meeting with the president. I can take over any time! I'm your war lady! In the hours and days that followed... countless hours with the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of State, the heads of our intelligence community—I was there!

20:56 was in front of and on top of it all. Asking questions, and requiring America's military and intelligence community, and diplomatic community would figure out how many people were dead. So she goes on and on to talk about how she was there She was in every single meeting with the heads of state, everyone from intelligence all the military guys Clearly politically motivated Gratuitous I'm a prosecutor And so i will say That when it comes to the role and responsibility of a prosecutor in a situation like that, we should expect

21:40 That there would be a higher level of integrity than what we saw. Thank you. Thank you for the question Telling you my spidey sense says she's in on this and she will be the first to say I'm sorry Joe, you just gotta go well that would be Entertaining yes, of course First I mean I like the fact that we got a lot of firsts coming up here We have You know, the first indictment for or the second ever in history of a cabinet member with Mayorkas. And then we have the first... It's only happened once before it was I think in the 1800s where you had a president

CHAPTER 08 / 50 Discussion

Constitutional History, Palace Coup Theories

Legal experts and commentators are debating the origins and application of the 25th Amendment, which was ratified in 1967 following the assassination of JFK. Theories circulate that the current focus on Biden's memory is a "palace coup" designed to replace him with another candidate like Gavin Newsom or Michelle Obama before the election.

25th amendment· alan dershowitz· woodrow wilson· gavin newsom· palace coup

22:20 that was president then voted out and then voted back in. That would be another one to be a first, and then you said the 25th Amendment I don't have the clip but i was quite disappointed...I should have gone back and scrounged up the clip but I was quite disappointed in Dershowitz going on about the 25th amendment saying the reason that the framers put the 25th amendment in place which is his quote And then he went on with an explanation for how it works. I was quite disappointed in that because it wasn't the framers who, you know George Washington of the Hamiltons, it wasn't those guys at any age or the 25th amendment. These are amendments. The 25th amendment showed up after Woodrow Wilson Yeah Hardly a framer's Well You know and let's so there's a couple things that a couple theories we've had It can also well first of all

23:20 By invoking the 25th Amendment, we can get him off the stage and then we can bring in other people to run. So it's not necessarily that Kamala is going to be president but she could be used to bring in Newsom or obviously there's Big Mike just to get him out of the way or to ensure—and this is our true theory—to ensure Trump is gonna win We want Trump to win so that he can take all the heat for all the crap that's gonna happen. Clean it up! Yeah, yeah. I can't get off that thesis completely. I also can't completely get off the thesis that we may be dealing with a Biden who's actually doing the bit of Vincent the Chin Gigante they've had one of the mob bosses who played himself as an idiot peeing in his pants walking around Greenwich Village... And i will tell you the way he conducted himself watching from beginning to end? He was more like that! He was more like Gigante

24:24 Knowing what he was doing, yeah he's fumbling a bit. But it felt more like that and like he was under attack from the inside Like holy crap I gotta get out there You know what is funny? So I watched this whole thing, but then I watched the after discussion with Peter Doocy on Fox who was immediately after the press conference. Doocy was talking to one of the...I forgot which one of the hosts on one of the shows when Biden came out and made that press

25:02 impromptu press conference. And Ducey's explanation of the scene was so alien to what the host and what I saw, and what you saw, what everybody saw. Ducey says it seemed like a cacophony because you had all these reporters screaming at him from all the networks. And Ducey says that when you were there Biden handled himself well. He thought that his nasty remark toward Ducey about his memory, remembering he wouldn't have talked to him... Yeah It was a kind of try to make it a joke and you couldn't do it. Ducey comes out and says no I wasn't like that at all! It was pretty calm and collected But this is what I'm saying! This is what I'm saying! It had to be miked funny Yeah the miking is always bad

25:55 And they're never really good with that. Because it sounded like a bunch of screaming reporters and they had close-ups of Biden looking left and right like he was confused, and Ducey says that he didn't feel that when he was actually there I'm agreeing with Ducey! It didn't feel like the way the packages have been put together And just, you know that a guy came out first who's the same height as Biden. He had paperwork guy comes back he's crossing some stuff off. Biden is opening up his...he sees what he's got. He knows what to read. He still an old guy so he flubbed some obvious things I'm not saying he is not worthy of being 25th amendmentized but he was a lot calmer like in the Gigante theory comes much more into play here

26:45 So I wish we had that clip from Ducey. I agree, he was being railroaded and i think he knew it! That's why I'm thinking Kamala has...that's the only way you have if you want to do the 25th amendment you have to go through Kamala and the majority of the cabinet but then they have a plan this there's there's a plan afoot Biden doesn't want to leave for sure no definitely not here's 40 seconds about the special investigators. Has come from a partisan or political background and was trying to come up with something they anticipated It would be a scathing report. I don't think they anticipated this personal of a call-out there in his behavior So much so that the special counsel's office went back to him said could you please remove that? You've overstepped here as a prosecutor, that is not fair. I mean this guy has spook written all over him

28:01 He was top aide to Rod Rosenstein. He was liaison the special counsel Mueller for the investigation of the Russia interference Yeah, Trump nominated him but Merrick Garland's in charge of him I mean Merrick Garland come on Merrick Garland let this guy do this None of that makes no sense No, that I think is a point on your favor in so far as this is a palace plot or whatever they used to call it. Yes! A palace coup! A palace coup? Palace coup... So here we got the Biden docs analysis. This is from NTD. I've got four clips but the

CHAPTER 09 / 50 Discussion

Biden Documents Case Analysis, CIA Asset Risks

The 350-page report from Special Counsel Robert Hur details Biden's unauthorized retention of classified materials at the Biden Penn Center and his private residence. Investigative journalists suggest the media's focus on Biden's memory serves to distract from the more serious allegations in the report, including the potential exposure of CIA assets.

biden pen center· classified documents· cia· merrick garland· ntd news

28:49 Two of the clips are about Russia. It's just changes, they changed the topic on me but it actually becomes more interesting. President Biden has addressed the special counsel report on his handling of classified documents joining us now to explore the report as well as Biden's response we have investigative journalist Jeff Carlson he is also the co-host of Truth Over News on Epic TV I want to start with Biden's documents case where hers 350 plus page report confirms that Biden on

29:48 And then there's the conclusion. And the report itself, I mean make no mistake it is very damning. It provides great detail as to what Biden did. It even covers a little known story that goes all the way back to 21 when documents were at the Biden Pen Center and it walks through the entirety of that. It makes very clear that you know, Biden should have been prosecuted except for the conclusion and that is that Biden was not mentally competent to be prosecuted and it's those statements that are causing a firestorm for everybody right now. On that note, following this report Biden gave a surprise address to the nation. Now one exchange that came up was this President Biden something the special counsel said in his report is that one of the reasons you were not charged is because In his description You are a well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory I'm well meaning and an elderly man And I know what the hell am doing I've been president and put this country back on its feet

30:51 How bad is your memory and can you continue as president? My memory is so bad I let you speak. Hold on, I just had another thought it is entirely possible that the M5M has been instructed to focus only on the memory and not on the report because the report is indeed very damning How about that? Oh, I like that one because because i'm thinking back on what was reported and they are concentrating on this and they're downplaying the report. The report itself which is 300 pages of incredible yeah he's got he's giving away CIA assets doing it after he was VP

31:37 Right. So it's possible that all of this is just a focus on that and as we know Fox News is run by Democrats, so here Doocy focus on this and the president had a punchline for him which I'm not thinking was on the fly. In the history of comedy one of the poorest delivered ever Well that's what I'm thinking It might have been written like you know That's what I'm thinking now all of a sudden That's very possible Yeah there...I think that actually might be the answer Well, you know if you don't mind me interrupting for a second your clip meet the press Kristen for some reason need to bring in chip Todd chug chuggary. What's his name? Chuckie Chuggery and

32:26 And I think he has in this clip, you know the only plan. The only thing that they can do Chuck let's talk about the politics of this Some of the language in this report is just damning You can't get around it an elderly man with a poor memory He's in the fight of his political life. I love this This may be what's going on John? The report is damming! He's an elderly man How about giving up CIA assets Well, and it's also when is it coming right? It's coming on the heels of just like more of these and there's he's accumulating This is sort of a narrative that is the classic death by a thousand cuts but you know with the coal and the Helmet Cole and the Francois Mitterrand And it's these these tiny little things in every moment Of course gets amplified by to the right-wing noise machine. And it certainly doesn't your seeing with this in this in this report There's an easy way though

33:20 for the White House to basically make this report pointless about his memory. Which is? Put him out there! Yeah, and will they? Let's see it! Put them out there all the time The easiest way to get rid of this storyline is to get him out there Oh yes! Get him out there This report...the report is only damning because he's a... You know what? It all comes together Put the- hey, this is Merrick Garland. Listen to her. Listen to me I see all these issues we've got going on here put something in there that makes him look like an old turd and will focus everybody on that There's nothing about the report itself you're s-

33:58 They're preoccupied with this, uh... with the insult. And Chip Chuck is even saying oh no the right-wing noise machine will focus on that like focus on that focus on that focus on that and I guarantee you The Info Mavericks will be focusing on that! Oh yes yes this is it let's go back to the document itself I'm glad you have these clips. What's your reaction to this exchange? Well, I mean first of all you have to consider the fact that they felt compelled that they had to do this press conference in the first place. In other words they recognized that this report was indeed bad on both sides of it both in terms of evidence and their conclusion but think about it this way Biden is either too senile to be prosecuted or he should be prosecuted

34:50 Biden is either not competent to stand trial, but conversely is he competent to be president? I mean these are the very real questions that the Democratic Party's facing right now. Well now NTD is falling into it It's hard not to, it's the best part. Yeah but it's more entertaining than finding out that this guy is a complete loser with all these documents that he had scattered all over they had the photos you know busted open boxes handwritten notes and then at his press conference and I'm sorry we don't have the whole thing yeah he denies it he says the report exonerates him

Tucker Carlson Vladimir Putin Interview, Ukraine War Negotiations

Tucker Carlson conducted a two-hour interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow, where Putin expressed a willingness to negotiate a settlement for the war in Ukraine. Putin claimed that former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson previously intervened to stop a peace deal, while Western media outlets continue to report that Russia refuses to negotiate.

tucker carlson· vladimir putin· russia· ukraine· boris johnson

35:29 No, and he everything was in lock locks and filing cabinets and nothing was in locked filing cabinet So they've done a good job twisting. He said I didn't my staff moved him as my staff. I can't you can't He's through his staff under the bus Wow it may maybe this is it The report is so bad And from what I've seen it is so bad they didn't want that to be the focus hmm Mm-hmm. Okay brings a new light. Well, you spike the ball later let's go now it happens now is they slightly change the subject and it actually becomes kind of more interesting as he talks about Russia. And now switching gears a little bit, Fox News former Fox News host Tucker Carlson has been making headlines with his interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin Now there's been mixed reactions especially in the media world with even the EU proposing sanctions on him What did you make up his interview but also the reactions around it?

36:27 But I found the reactions predictable. I think the media is terrified both at what Putin's demonstration of competence, his grasp of history but also during that interview he made it very clear that he was open to having a negotiated settlement to the war in Ukraine And yet, you know that's been an ongoing effort where there is a continual demand for funds to keep funding. A war in Ukraine that frankly unwinnable and has always in my estimation anyway has always been unwinnable. Now the Tucker Putin interview covered a range of topics including AI and even Elon Musk but what was most surprising to you? The length of it

37:06 The fact that he was willing to, there was such a breadth of topics that were covered. You know this meeting went, this interview went more than two hours in length Again though the first thing I gravitated to was Putin's throwing out there his own very forthright That he wanted a negotiated settlement with Ukraine That is probably the thing first and foremost that grabbed my attention As well as the fact this understanding of history and that Russia I think as a country is much more tied to their history than Unfortunately, we are here in the United States right now. I think it's correct that NTD switches to that because it was Also well timed to cover up massive coverage of The Tucker Putin interview there was very little time for anyone to do

37:53 cover any of the content of it. And by the way, he was very specific that Boris Johnson was the one that went into because I watched that whole... That was tedious to watch! The whole Tucker interview. But Putin very exactly as we predicted described specifically hey the documents were there Boris Johnson flew in said no no no you're not gonna sign out You're gonna fight They didn't say that in the NTD analysis But it was also just a great cover-up and when you're done with these clips I have some, I think some responses to the Tucker. Well i do want to mention something which is...I was reading various discussions where they kind of pass over this

38:36 interview with Putin and almost everybody in the mainstream media claims, and you start looking into it they all say well the thing about it is we have to stay on this work because Putin doesn't want to negotiate. Yeah which is exactly opposite of what he said. Which is a total lie! All he wants to do is negotiate Yeah, he said I don't want to invade Poland. I don't want to do it just let's negotiate this thing out Let's do it bro That's pretty much what I heard He goes on and on about the Minsk agreements where everybody was ready to negotiate and then that Was the Boris Johnson thing? Yes. I think he is the one who pulled a plug on Minsk

39:14 And so this is just like, we're just being scammed by the media in terms of their way they're presenting stuff to us. Well the focus is what's so amazing... ...is how the focus is put on certain things that again you know that you're getting the same clips on Twitter You are getting the same talking points and focus really focused from the alternative media What I call the info mavericks like oh let me talk about this I wonder how many people actually watched all two hours and seven minutes besides you and i or all 17 minutes of Biden. This is no longer done! I think people just sniffing each other's butts and getting each other's clips well they're there yeah it doesn't take a genius to watch

The Putin Binder, Espionage Act Speculation

During their interview, Vladimir Putin presented Tucker Carlson with a large binder of historical documents. Speculation has arisen regarding whether Carlson will be debriefed by the CIA upon his return or if he could face prosecution under the Espionage Act for handling the materials.

tucker carlson· vladimir putin· espionage act· cia· documents

40:01 17 minutes of Biden. Let's go to part two of this, and then there is one other aspect which is kind of the most interesting part of it I don't know what's going to come out of it. And one thing that seems to be standing out to some was the binder that Tucker was holding What did you make of that? Yes in many respects especially in light of the overshadowing events yesterday That was the thing that I thought was most interesting at the very end And Tucker made a point of showing it. For those that didn't see, Tucker was given a very large binder of documents from Putin to bring back and it's unknown what is in there but not only did you see that at the end of the interview and the handoff but Tucker made a very real point of posting that as a separate clip just he and the binder alone without telling us what's in there making very clear what it was and pointing out everybody so

40:54 A lot of curiosity surrounding what's exactly in all those documents. Oh, I know what's in the binder doesn't everybody know? I thought that was well known. What's in the binder pictures of Taylor Swift? And when are you gonna go with that? He's got this binder which means as soon as Tucker gets back on the airplane he'll be debriefed by a bunch of CIA guys, which is always wanted to be a CIA guy. As Putin even pointed out you want it to be a CIA guy they wouldn't have yet! Supposedly yeah and supposedly right supposedly and so

41:36 They're gonna go over the stuff with a fine-tooth comb. Now, the problem is that what's Tucker going to do with this? Is he gonna release it? You know if you release part of it of the binder and you don't release at all, you know Putin has got his second copy that he can come and say here's what they didn't release and this is what's important! It could be a setup for something like for a stunt like that It could be there's a who knows. I mean, this is what we're going to find out eventually. But the binder is going to have some swift thought comes into play like whatever it is. It'll be AI generated fake. Yeah, maybe. Oh yeah. That's what you could do so. Tucker Carlson might be prosecuted for under the Espionage Act and lawyer warrants. What does she commit? Just as just noise, just noise

CHAPTER 12 / 50 Discussion

Media Criticism of Tucker Carlson, Chris Wallace Commentary

Mainstream media figures, including Chris Wallace and Hillary Clinton, criticized Tucker Carlson's interview with Vladimir Putin, labeling him a "useful idiot" and a "puppy dog." Critics argued that Carlson failed to ask difficult questions about war crimes or the deaths of Putin's political opponents, while others defended the interview as a rare look at the Russian perspective.

chris wallace· tucker carlson· journalism· propaganda· vladimir putin

42:30 You know, the tech companies will be testing European Union law regulating lies. You can't put that on the internet you can't put that on your platform it's lies and most importantly I want y'all to know Tucker Carlson is not a journalist. He's not someone that you need to take seriously, in fact he is someone who there would be no reason to take him seriously so he cannot held liable for the things that he says So try to couch what he doing right now as supposedly being about journalism it absolutely ridiculous But Tucker Carlson will going to be there and be the journalist none of us are Actually Tucker you're not in journalism A long time ago sure but these days You've been in the propaganda business.

43:28 Not even close. Why he's doing this interview now, obviously for the Kremlin it makes sense if they want to talk It's a friendly voice but we will keep trying our best to actually commit journalism Some of us Tucker have already decided You are literally the worst media figure imaginable To be doing an interview with Russia's Vladimir Putin you have no journalistic credibility None! I mean he is like a puppy dog I find it gobsmacking terrifying too, Ali. And it's sort of like we talk about disinformation on social media well disinformation from people like Tucker Carlson? Tucker Carlson is lying from the streets of Russia no less So he's not a journalist... What does a journalist mean now do you have to go to journalism school to be considered a journalist? I just want to get this straight skinny on this

44:15 Well, it depends on your definition. Bloggers are considered journalists in some quarters you can define it a lot of different ways but anyone who keeps a journal would be a journalist. Anyone who's a reporter reports on something would be a journalist to be technically there is no licensing in the United States and some countries to be a journalist for example Brazil You have to have a license from the government to be an official journalist. And they would like that here too, but no! No you can just call yourself a journalist and I would use the term ipso facto a journalist

44:54 ipso facto. I think if you use the word ipso facto, you are in fact a journalist right there absolutely here's Chris Wallace Tucker Carlson showed up in Moscow this week to interview Vladimir Putin it turned out to be anything but an interview oh! Putin droned on for two hours and seven minutes wasn't an interview he let him drone on while Tucker sat there like an eager puppy He's a very eager puppy. Oh, where have I heard this before? I mean he is like a puppy dog because he is a useful idiot. Occasionally but rarely he got in the question like this one about the power of deep state in Washington It sounds like you're describing system that not run by people who are elected in your telling That's right

45:45 But more telling than what Tucker asked is what he didn't ask. Nothing about why Putin invaded a sovereign country, nothing about targeting civilians, nothing about Russian war crimes A reporter can ask Putin a tough question if he wants a real interview Listen to this. Why is it that so many of the people that oppose Vladimir Putin end up dead or close to it? So Chris Wallace says Tucker Carlson is no good, doesn't ask the right questions and then cuts to a clip of him asking Putin a tough question I mean whoa bro ego much

46:27 Why is it that so many of the people that oppose Vladimir Putin end up dead or close to it? But apparently, that's not why Tucker went to Moscow. During a Cold War gullible Westerners who spread Soviet propaganda were dismissed as useful idiots. Calling Tucker that is unfair! useful idiot. Whoa! No he's made a cynical decision to chase Maddow's affection for dictators and what better way to cash in than Putin's Kremlin? Oh yeah! Whoa you got butt-slapped! I wonder if Chris Wallace ever asked Hillary that exact same question There was one there is one piece that I didn't hear anyone talk about the question that

CHAPTER 13 / 50 Discussion

Putin on American Presidents, Elite Mindset

Vladimir Putin discussed his personal relationships with former Presidents George W. Bush and Donald Trump, stating that American policy is driven by an "elite mindset" rather than individual personalities. He criticized the 2008 decision to open NATO's doors to Ukraine as a fundamental mistake that ignored Russian security concerns.

vladimir putin· george w. bush· donald trump· nato· american elites

47:22 There wasn't even a question. It's something, I don't think it was even a question because you know Tugger is not journalist but Putin had something very interesting to say here You just asked me if another leader comes and changes something It is not about the leader. It is not about the personality of a particular person I had a very good relationship with say Bush I know that in the United States he was portrayed as some kind of a country boy who does not understand much. I assure you that this is not the case, and I think he made a lot of mistakes with regard to Russia too... I told you about 2008 and the decision in Bucharest to open NATO's doors for Ukraine and so on? That happened during his presidency… He actually exercised pressure on Europeans! But in general, on personal human level

48:12 I had a very good relationship with him. He was no worse than any other American or Russian or European politician, and I assure you he understood what he was doing as well as others. I had such personal relationships with Trump as well." It is not about the personality of the leader – it is about the elite's mindset. If the idea of domination at any cost based also on forceful actions dominates the American society nothing will change It will only get worse. Yeah, exactly he can take over the show if We cut out the pauses like I did on that clip He can easily take out take over the show now everything that we have deconstructed Putin said The half-hour background on Russia was interesting. I mean just from a historical standpoint

49:05 Now, but no play. No play. Yeah it was interesting if you wanted a lesson in Russian history... Which I didn't have but you know that little bit not all that But yeah so everything came at the right time You know we had Biden making all the noise I think that got the most noise from The Noise Machine I like that The Noise Machine And even them Even-I didn't even see Fox do very much on Tucker and Putin Did you? Actually, I don't recall anything. And there's two or three shows that I watch kind of routinely and I don't recall them bringing it up at all! No because he is persona non grata at the Democrat run Fox News They kicked him out! Hmm...I did want to go back briefly To the Biden thing because I would have wrapped this up if we hadn't gotten on a different track about covering up The Report Smirconish

CHAPTER 14 / 50 Discussion

Michelle Obama Candidacy Rumors, David Axelrod Denial

Former Obama advisor David Axelrod addressed rumors of a Michelle Obama presidential run, stating she has no interest in the "tone and tenor" of politics. Axelrod claimed he has as much chance of dancing in the Bolshoi Ballet as she does of running, though some observers noted he left a slight opening in his phrasing.

michelle obama· david axelrod· 2024 election· barack obama· michael smerconish

50:04 Where's that guy from, that Smirconish? Does he have a radio show, Smirconish. He must be...he sounds like a radio guy. I think he is a radio guy. He had Obama confidant extraordinaire David Axelrod on. Axelrod who Didn't he run Obama's first campaign? Yes, he ran Obama's campaigns and he hates Biden. And he is a podcaster. He has a podcast. And uh, Smerkonish asked him about Big Mike. There's like always a family member who says in my case it's my brother keep your eye on Michelle Obama and I say that is crazy! What should we be saying about Michelle Obama?

50:51 Well, here's what I know. Michelle Obama loves this country she is a brilliant person and a brilliant communicator but she was a conscript to politics She never was interested in political life even when Barack Obama was young politician She really didn't participate much in his campaigns I was with him in the senate campaign 2004 I think she showed up twice in the whole campaign on election nights. So, you know she's not someone who likes politics she doesn't like the tone and tenor of politics and I would be

51:32 floored if she would consent to that. They feel that they gave 10 years of their life to this and I'm sure she feels as Barbara Bush did when she said there has to be someone other than the Bushes and the Clintons who could be president for the United States my guess is that's her attitude, I always say Michael that i have as much chance of dancing in the Bolshoi Ballet next year then then that she would be President of the United States And so if you see me running around at the end of the year in a leotard, you'll know what happened. I was gonna say Bolshoi is hiring! I hear Bolshoi is hiring... David thank you Maybe once and for all David Axelrod just put it to rest unless Cindy Adams is not watching Thank You David Yeah, I think he still left that open

52:24 No. He might be in leotards! You know, the funnier line is a tutu Yeah I was waiting for him to...I agree i was waiting for him to say tutu and because he didn't say tutu I think you left it open Yes yes he left that open I'm just hedging my butts my butt yeah micro dot oh okay mouse man give me a break there's no evidence there weren't micro dots uh-huh so You're gonna bring that up? We have to talk about this. I think we're done with the... Yeah, no, I'm way done. I think we've handled Biden and Putin and we're good to go

Mail-In Ballot Fraud, Heartland Institute Study

A study by the Heartland Institute, based on a Rasmussen survey, claims that one in five mail-in voters admitted to potentially fraudulent actions during the 2020 election. The report suggests that if the majority of Americans had voted in person, the election outcome might have favored Donald Trump.

mail-in ballots· voter fraud· heartland institute· rasmussen reports· 2020 election

53:12 I got mail-in ballots are no good. Republicans and Democrats don't agree on mail in voting according to a Pew Research poll they disagree by a lot with Republicans largely opposed A different poll on mail in ballot fraud may explain why. NTD's Arlene Richards has the details Some Americans don't like mailing ballots that much while others like it a lot Nationally, 57% of poll respondents favor mail-in ballots. A recent Pew Research poll shows 84 percent of Democrats favor mail in ballots while only 28 percent of Republicans favor the practice According to the survey voters have changed their views on different voting measures in recent years particularly regarding voting by mail Four years ago 70 percent of American adults favored it but now only 57 percent do

54:04 Democrats' views on mail-in ballots have remained almost unchanged since 2020, while Republicans have become less fond of it dropping from 49% to 28%. One reason for the change in opinion may be due to an increased likelihood of fraud. Well how are we going to steal an election if if we don't have mail and ballots? That's exactly right! And then of course this part is pretty... I think this next clip which is part two is incredibly underreported by the mainstream. It's not reported at all." A study conducted by the Heartland Institute concludes that fraud influenced the 2020 presidential election results The study was based on data obtained from the Heartland Rasmussen Survey in December

54:47 According to the survey, about one in five mail-in voters admitted to potentially fraudulent actions in the 2020 presidential election. The researchers believed that fraud significantly impacted the results of the election in favor of Joe Biden. The report states that if the majority of Americans had cast their ballots in person Donald Trump would almost certainly have been reelected. So there was a poll which is Rasmussen which I think usually seen as a right wing Far right poll, where people actually admitted that they defrauded it? Yeah. You haven't heard this either have you? No of course not!

Supreme Court Colorado Ballot Case, Insurrection Definition

The U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments regarding Colorado's decision to remove Donald Trump from the presidential ballot. Chief Justice John Roberts expressed concern that upholding the disqualification could lead to a cycle of retaliatory ballot removals across various states, potentially leaving the election to be decided by only a handful of jurisdictions.

supreme court· colorado· donald trump· john roberts· insurrection

55:27 Of course not. What I did hear is some of the oral arguments of the Supreme Court regarding Trump being on the ballot in Colorado, so this is... Yeah this is entertaining Yes, the Supreme Court discussing now well hold on a second you guys had some mind reader who testified that Trump was intending to be an insurrectionist and on basis of that you said oh he committed an insurrection Now, I think a point we brought up is well if you can take someone off the ballot because they incited an erection. Ooh, I did it! You did it on purpose? No actually I didn't because that's easy to do I guess what's on my mind because they incited an insurrection you could also make that case against Nancy Pelosi for not having the Capitol Police or National Guard whatever was asked of her and what's good for the goose is good for the gander and Chief Justice Roberts

56:31 said exactly that. If Colorado's position is upheld, surely there will be disqualification proceedings on the other side and some of those will succeed Some of them will have different standards of proof some of them will have different rules about evidence maybe the Senate report won't be accepted in others because it's hearsay maybe it's beyond a reasonable doubt whatever In very quick order I would expect Although my predictions have never been correct. I would expect that a goodly number of states will say, whoever the Democratic candidate is you're off the ballot and others for the Republican candidate your off the ballot it'll come down to just a handful of states that are going to decide the presidential election That's pretty daunting consequence

57:23 Well certainly, your honor the fact that there are potential frivolous applications of a constitutional provision isn't a reason- Well no hold on. I mean you might think they're frivolous but probably the people who are bringing them may not think they're frivolous Insurrection is a broad term and if there's some debate about it i suppose that will go into the decision and then eventually what we would be deciding whether was an insurrection when one president did something as opposed to when somebody else did something else Wouldn't that be great if we only had like 10 states that have both on the ballot? Yeah, that's your... That's democracy for you. Exactly! We're trying to save democracy. Oh man this is great what a great time to be doing a podcast It's podcast time it is it is podcast time it's fantastic I'm loving it so well hi I mean these general consensus including from our constitutional lawyer is that the Supreme Court will reverse

58:23 the Colorado Supreme Court decision. Now, if they're... I should point out that most of the analysts who watched or listened to all of it, I listened quite a bit of it but it turned out to be the liberals who were really jumping all over this because they just thought it was ridiculous so it's gonna either going to 8-1 which we saw in Mayoral she did was the only one that seemed sympathetic Or nine to nothing it. This is not even gonna be close the our Our constitutional boots on the ground lawyer says he says the odds are good that Sotomayor will dissent She'll be the only one but then of course the question is on what grounds will they overturned? It could be multiple grounds to make it a little fuzzier You know not to just you know let's not get into the insurrection part Let's just say blah blah blah

1:01:09 But I'm not risking it. My symptoms are mild, you have a little flu, a little cough but i'm not risking it If its COVID, Paxlovid. Oh, it helps the virus from stops it from multiplying in your body Wow Taking Paxlovid with certain medicines can lead to serious or life-threatening side effects. Nice! Or affect how it or other medicines work including hormonal birth control It's critical to tell your doctor about all the medicines you take because certain tests are changes and their dosage may be needed Tell your doctors if kidney or liver problems HIV 1 R planned to become pregnant or breastfeed don't take

1:01:46 Paxlovid if you're allergic to Nirmatrolvir, Ritonavir or any of its ingredients. Serious side effects can include allergic reactions some severe like anaphylaxis and liver problems these are not all the possible side effects so talk to your doctor I love that this is new these are not all the possible side effects talk to your doctor they're not even disclaiming the death anymore Wow. Yeah, I like that idea That is new! Well they can get away with it then that's what they're gonna do And they also show the lady getting it through telemedicine They show her on a laptop talking to her doctor Talking to your doctor is now real thing It's not your doctor, its some dude in Vegas who was also a car valet and on the side takes $10 calls and prescribes you Pax Lovis

1:02:38 It's really bad. Not good products, the I got another answer on if you want to play one more or more this is Tedros so the pandemic treaty that everyone's up in arms about because it will give the World Health Organization all this control and which is basically turning your sovereignty over to one world government yes But the negotiations... We'll sign it, we'll sign it. Oh yeah! The negotiations are failing because of the patents so that's ha! So the big pharma companies like yeah I know we're all in a but no you would not gonna give it to just every country unless they pay yah but remember the patent was always the issue

1:03:31 Like, give it to the rest of the world. No we're not going to give it away I mean come on! We have patents on this stuff. We're not gonna let you produce it. We'll sell it to you so Tedros... and by the way It's no longer The Treaty there is a new word its it's The Pandemic Agreement. The pandemic agreement is mission critical for humanity. It's Mission Critical For Humanity Agreement. The pandemic agreement is mission critical for humanity If it had been in place before COVID-19 We would not have lost so much. We would not have suffered so much If only we had it in place before COVID, we wouldn't have lost so much! And the generation that lived through COVID-19...we have a collective responsibility to protect future generations from the suffering we endured as young people

1:04:20 you have the most to gain from a strong agreement. It's likely you will face another pandemic in your lifetime because it happens only once every 100 years we can't know how mild or severe it might be but, We can be prepared so if I may speak to the younger generations do not allow this thing to be signed Do Not Do not let these people control anything.

Global fertility rates have dropped from 2.7 births per woman in 2000 to 2.3 today, leading to concerns about shrinking populations. Singapore is encouraging citizens to have "little dragons" during the Lunar New Year, while France has proposed fertility checks for 25-year-olds to combat the slump.

1:06:25 And while you're at it, have some kids please. Before the end of this century the world population will shrink for the first time since the bubonic plague of the 1300s not because of an increase in deaths but because of a slump in births across the world fertility rate is collapsing In 2000 it stood 2.7 births per woman today its 2.3 and countries are worried including France France has asked 25 year olds to get fertility checks This has invited massive backlash. Meanwhile, Singapore wants people to celebrate the year of the dragon by having quote unquote little dragons of their own That's what they're calling babies to make the concept more interesting perhaps but when these tactics work Little dragons so you know we've been talking about

He doesn't have to raise taxes So it's working as intended you know because they work at or above the level of the people who are delivered which means cheaper

CHAPTER 21 / 50 Discussion

Immigration Economic Impact, CBO Budget Outlook

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released a report estimating that increased immigration will boost the US economy by $7 trillion but may also suppress real wages by 2034. In the UK, similar migration trends are being debated as the NHS faces record waiting times and a shortage of dental appointments.

immigration· cbo· wages· national debt· nhs

1:08:10 It's unbelievable. They're just saying it now, so I think the horse has left the stable Yeah, we'll explain this one. Here's my clip immigration results Immigration results here we go a new congressional report estimates that the influx of illegal immigrants will force down wages in the US This comes as lawmakers in one state advance a bill that would extend government-funded health insurance to illegal immigrants And he's Aryan pasta has an immigration update It's very difficult to know with precision who are the people and such as coming across the border now. The Congressional Budget Office or CBO released a budget outlook report for the next 10 years. They report estimates that America's population will increase over the next decade due to immigration, this will also take its toll on wages. Their report states that average real wages are expected to be slightly lower by 2034 than they would otherwise

1:09:10 Many say the report's most shocking projection is that it expects government debt will rise by $20 trillion in the next decade to $54 trillion. Now this new report comes just as state senators in Virginia advance a health care bill for immigrants, the cover all kids act would provide state funded healthcare to all low income immigrants under the age of 19 Now a Republican state senator who opposed the bill reportedly said it would cost Virginia taxpayers $100 million just in this decade. And an update on this attack on police officers near Times Square, in which a group of illegal immigrants punched two officers and kicked their heads as they were lying on the ground. Seven individuals allegedly involved in his incident have now been indicted. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg who doesn't often address the public held a press conference on Thursday

1:10:00 This assault, as it did to many of you, sickened me and outraged me. We all rely on members of the NYPD every day, as I said, to keep us safe and keep this the safest big city in America Brag also commented on speculation that the suspects had been caught in Arizona after fleeing New York He dismissed those reports saying they're not true. I'm gonna disregard the last bit of the report The first bit was super interesting because this seven trillion dollar number comes from the same CBO report And the health care part is fit is phenomenally interesting because the UK

1:10:41 There's a whole bunch of stories now because you're going to give away health care to visitors, newcomers. And in the UK they've been doing just that so here's the story headline sharp rise in people waiting over 12 hours at the emergency room and this is all the NHS it's the socialized healthcare but my favorite headline I couldn't get an NHS dentist appointment for six months I had to pull out my own tooth with pliers Yes, where I live many people don't even have teeth anymore. But there's a solution! Solution reports the Daily Mail millions will get fluoride added to their tap water in biggest expansion of controversial scheme since the 1980s yes no cavities but it'll make you nice and docile unbelievable Get out of the UK people run oh my

CHAPTER 22 / 50 Discussion

Times Square Shooting, Venezuelan Migrant Arrest

A 15-year-old migrant from Venezuela was arrested for a shooting in Times Square that injured a Brazilian tourist. The suspect, who arrived in the U.S. in September and was living in a temporary shelter, is also linked to an armed robbery in the Bronx.

times square· nypd· venezuela· migrant crisis· crime

1:11:42 I'm kind of happy. I'm old now, I don't have to witness all the mayhem that's coming. Yeah you can call me no coot this is horrible really is but of course... Well just to play just to continue that clip but not a continuation but just another thing doesn't get reported much in the mainstream. This one I didn't know until I heard it on NTD Play this one. This is the New York City news shooting a new shooting The NYPD has revealed the suspect in a shooting in Times Square last night A 15 year old was arrested after allegedly open firing at a tourist police identified the teen as an immigrant from Venezuela

1:12:27 And I gotta tell you, if one of those bullets hits our cop last night this is a whole different conversation we're having today. My concern, our concern the community's concern is to take this armed juvenile off the streets. Authorities say the suspect came to the U.S last September and was living in a temporary migrant shelter, according to the NYPD he shot a Brazilian tourist in the leg inside a retail store and began to shove clothing into a bag as he ran off He allegedly opened fire again just a few blocks away attempting to lose the police

1:13:07 Officials say he's also a suspect in an armed robbery in the Bronx last month. During the shooting, the 15-year old was accompanied by two other suspects. Well, since we're doing bummer news about New York City and regarding replacement migration let's add one more to the mix before I build everybody up. Cutting the fat that's a good thing when we want it but the city cut 60 million dollars out of the Education Department budget for school lunches and the cuts announced in November have started impacting school lunches across the city and is now being noticed including here at this Hell's Kitchen location home to five schools and thousands of students

CHAPTER 23 / 50 Discussion

New York City School Lunch Budget Cuts

New York City has cut $60 million from the Education Department's food budget, leading to the removal of popular items like chicken fingers from school menus. Mayor Eric Adams attributed the cuts to the rising costs of the migrant crisis, which has seen over 170,000 arrivals requiring city services.

eric adams· school lunches· budget cuts· migrant crisis· education

1:13:46 A lot of kids don't eat, so they're hungry and they're tired and they don't participate or perform well in their classes. It like really drains them out. If I'm hungry and stuff... And usually we get snacks but sometimes people don't eat or there's no snack at all when we don't get a snack you know we can't be doing all that The city school system serves close to 900 thousand meals a day while the city still provides meals secondary and alternative items are phased out like chicken fingers and french fries Mayor Adams announced the cuts, the result of the city's spending on the migrant crisis. Over the past year and a half over 170 thousand migrants have come to New York City requiring housing food education and other services The cause of the cuts is driving a wedge They're more tired they're less able to focus in class throughout the day

1:14:33 headaches or stomach aches, they have less energy and all of that affects learning and their ability to take advantage of being in school. So here's where it gets confusing the education department says despite the cut to the food budget all of that money is being replaced by incoming funds from the federal government parents say then it doesn't make sense why the food budget is being tinkered with and they say food for students should be the last thing that's touched Alright couple things first of all get out of the cities This is no longer a safe or healthy place to live. Second, they're feeding the kids chicken nuggets and french fries give your kid a sandwich baloney with mayonnaise for all I care oh we have no snacks of course not! Of course the kids are slow because you've got them addicted to sugar

CHAPTER 24 / 50 Discussion

European Farmer Protests, Beef Industry Challenges

Farmers across Poland, Italy, and Germany are blockading roads with tractors to protest EU climate policies and cheap agricultural imports from Ukraine. In the United States, concerns about the centralized beef processing industry have led to the "Beef Initiative," encouraging consumers to buy directly from local ranchers.

farmer protests· poland· italy· eu climate policy· beef initiative

1:15:23 Oh, we need a snack. I need a snack to get my sugar up! Ah! No! There's... right now there's a beef shortage in America? They're messing with our food. They really are and the farmer protests is a part of that all over Europe I hope that our farmers here eventually get in on the action, I don't know if they ever will frankly I'm surprised but we have to... You know it's they're not even letting us know about them before The farmers' protests in Europe, and in the media. Near the village of Dorohusk on Poland's Ukrainian border a bitter chill hangs in the air. Schools of furious farmers have been blockading checkpoints demanding urgent change from the governments in Warsaw and Brussels. The source of their ire is agricultural products being imported from Ukraine. Originally they were meant to support the Ukrainian economy during its war with Russia

1:16:20 But now government policies are sparking unrest at home. Our heads are under water, we don't have any more money to compensate for our losses in farming It's our passion but not our livelihood anymore Unfortunately it is still our only source of income Thousands of other Polish farmers were expected in the city of Poznan Anger there was supposed to focus on European Union climate change policies Poland's agriculture minister said on Thursday he understood the challenges farmers were facing. Once the scene of gladiatorial conflict, Italy's Colosseum on Friday saw tractors driving past Italian farmers say their battle is just as historic

1:16:59 We're not here to protest, we're here to make proposals. Yesterday we presented signed copies of these proposals through the government and we are confident they will receive us. Together we will see if Europe still wants their Italian farmer." The challenges they face are sizable and growing. The EU last week watered down climate commitments apparently bowing to farmer demands that had called them overly burdensome. So they're basically just chopping the farmers out, they're no longer giving them the subsidies they need because they don't want to feed their nations and it's cool to see tractors in front of the Colosseum in Rome... They do not want to feed their nations with healthy products and I consider beef to be a very healthy good product

1:17:39 However, even in Texas we've turned our ranchers into commodity cowboys and there's only three big processing plants. And you need to find a rancher and there are plenty of them beefinitiative.com which my buddy Texas Slim set up. There are plenty of them around the United States You need to go shake a rancher's hand and say hi I need to buy some your beef because right now what we eat in our supermarket here H-E-B That's from South America and they put USDA Prime on it. They drive that stuff up, they got a big cattle drive our Texas beef is being sold like caviar to China. And get out of the cities! Buy an RV for all I care Get out! Get into a small community You really need to do this because this is the problem It's immigration... none of its good

CHAPTER 25 / 50 Discussion

Germany AfD Popularity, PBS Nazi Comparisons

The Alternative for Germany (AfD) party is rising in polls, currently ranking as the second most popular party in the country. PBS and other media outlets have reported on mass protests against the AfD, following reports of a meeting where members allegedly discussed mass deportations, drawing comparisons to Germany's Nazi past.

afd· germany· pbs· populism· immigration

1:18:32 But small communities can survive and certainly, you know innovative young people can figure stuff out. You can work via remote. Well I'm glad you got that clip of the farm because the farmers because they're not playing any of that on PBS what they've decided to do cause they know people notice protests going on in Europe They've decided, PBS is from PBS. They've decided to bring a show protest the big European protests in Germany Far-right Nazis Germany AFD coverage, here's PBS. For weeks Germans have been flooding into streets squares and parks protesting the increasing influence of far-right parties it comes as Germany's leading far right party suffered a narrow defeat in regional elections in one of its strongholds Ali Rogin explores the impact of this increasingly tense political atmosphere

1:19:28 The catalyst for the protests came from a recent report by the media outlet Correctiv. It details a meeting between leaders of the far-right AFD, or the Alternative for Germany party and members of a separate extremist movement in that meeting they discussed a plan for re-migration involving mass deportations of immigrants including some with German citizenship The AFD has since distanced itself from the meeting, but that hasn't slowed the demonstrations. Some protesters are calling for an outright ban of the AFD which is seen as too aligned with Germany's Nazi past James Angelos is an editor for Politico based in Berlin. Thank you so much for being here, tell us about who the members of the AfD party are and how much influence do they have a Germany right now? The party had been rising in polls leading up to this report it is second right now polling second behind

1:20:20 the opposition conservatives. So right now, the party is more popular than any of the parties that are currently in the German government or three parties making up the ruling coalition and the AFD is more popular than all three of them So I don't know if it's in your other clips here, but there and this been unclipable because it's all in German. There are multiple investigations inquiries going on in German parliament against this collective outfit who were given money by the left wing parties to build this whole narrative that the AFD is a bunch of Nazis

1:20:59 You're but you're not in these clips not from this guy, but yes and that's obviously what's going on because this is a populist party just like what's going on everywhere else in the world cuz they're getting sick of these people that are pushing everyone around 40% of the world will be voting this year big election. It'll all be voting populists That includes Trump mm-hmm Builders in The Netherlands yeah and it includes this AFD operation. Yes, who are clearly affiliated with the Nazi past unlike you know people getting arrested and not being able to go to the supermarket during COVID remember that? They had separate lines oh you can't pass the fence you can't get-you can't go to the supermarket The Dutch! No but you've got curfews which they hadn't had since World War II come on

CHAPTER 26 / 50 Discussion

German Energy Crisis, EU Cash Payment Limits

Germany's economy is struggling with high energy prices following the shutdown of its nuclear power plants and the invasion of Ukraine. Meanwhile, the European Union is moving to limit cash payments as part of a broader transition toward Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and Universal Basic Income (UBI).

germany· energy prices· nuclear power· eu· cbdc

1:21:57 This is PBS that's doing this? This is PBS. Unbelievable So what is happening politically in Germany right now that is making them more popular? There has been a rise again recently of asylum seekers entering Germany from countries like Syria and Afghanistan, and they are an anti-migration party. Notice the new term asylum seekers this is what this is what the term has been in Europe for a long time we're getting that here to asylum seekers. Their sort core issue There are other issues that they're taking advantage of at the moment. Energy prices skyrocketed following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, inflation and... Hold on! ...the economy right now is... Sorry?

1:22:39 Energy prices have only gone up because of Russia's Ukraine invasion when in fact the Green parties and the greenies of Deutschland managed to turn nuclear all the nukes. Hold on, hold on! What happened to Putin? I thought it was Putin who did that Well, that's what he just said. Yeah! That's what I'm saying was Putin remember when Putin blew up his own pipeline? Yeah and then Putin blowing up his own pipe... Give me a break with this bullcrap invasion of Ukraine, inflation and the economy right now is not doing well. So there is a general unease in the population that's also helping the party and they are particularly strong in former East Germany where there is also more sympathy perhaps for taking on a friendlier stance toward Russia. Oh man! Alright... Hold on a second too before you say anything

1:23:38 The East Germans don't like Russians. No, they were locked behind the wall! They hate them! And so unlike Jen Psaki I'm sure they have a real good team of people at PBS don't they? Who can say hold on a second man you know that's kind out-of-order what you're saying there Well this guy is being interviewed he is from Politico So it should've been the hostess Yes who should've jumped in Or what's his name...the other guy who should have asked the question, wait a minute that doesn't make sense. The East Germans generally historically hate the Russians now all of a sudden they're in love with the Russians? Are you kidding me?" So two things one you're bumping your mic a lot so something is on your stand or something's loose too

1:24:25 Now that I'm officially an elder, we just need to rebrand. We're like listen kids we're telling you what to do and what not to do. Did this really bugged you? Yeah it did... well no it was just a realization. It's a slap in the face! No, no its just the truth A bucket of water! Im just an old guy im an elder. Youre not that old. You're not an elder. I want to be an elder! Let me be an elder? You will be eventually, but not until you're 60 at least. Oh so we have what seven more months everybody and of course the flip side of rising popularity is as we've been seeing rising opposition and more people speaking out against them So why are these protests happening now

1:25:10 Well, the catalyst really was this report and combined with the fact that the party has been rising in polls even as it has grown more extreme. I think this struck a nerve for multiple reasons, this gathering people saw echoes of the Nazi past And, you know some politicians even called it a Nazi party. These protests are ongoing they're large there's no sign that they're winding down and the people who are organizing them see themselves really as standing up for the survival of the Republic against a very acute and immediate threat. Are the Germans really this gullible? Do you think they'll fall for this nonsense

1:25:51 Yeah, why not? They've fallen for shutting down the nuclear power plants. I mean if you go along with that you have to be not only gullible but somewhat stupid! Yeah yeah i'm afraid you're right. You know when Germany runs into trouble as they say in the old country when Germany sneezes all of Europe gets a cold You know, without Germany Europe is in big trouble. But you know of course the EU is now limiting cash payments because of money laundering their CBDC is coming they'll everyone will get UBI they'll be the first ones we will be able to watch it from here It will be fun Well as a little aside even though this has got nothing do with Germany necessarily and has a little bit to do with the Gaza and Ukraine

CHAPTER 27 / 50 Discussion

Claire Daly EU Parliament Speeches, Gaza Genocide Claims

Irish MEP Claire Daly criticized the European Commission for "horse trading" with Hungary over Ukraine funding. In a separate speech, Daly accused the US and EU of ignoring genocide in Gaza, while criticizing Nancy Pelosi for suggesting that pro-Palestine protesters are linked to the Kremlin.

claire daly· eu parliament· hungary· gaza· nancy pelosi

1:26:43 I have two Claire Daly clips. Oh, oh it's always fun to hear from Claire our Irish firebrand Let's see first one You know we talked about the hung Hungarian situation and how the EU we went back and forth thinking of who is you know blackmailing who when it came to Hungary going along with the program allowing Sweden to join the NATO mm-hmm and Claire has a take on this which is kind of agrees with the two of us, both of us. We took different sides but she kinda says the same thing about both and I thought this was good. I abstained on this motion because it's the same old familiar dance hungry blackmails to commission Commission blackmails Hungary no doubt they'll cut another dirty deal at some stage and the Commission will trade away Hungarian minority rights and judicial independence

1:27:35 all for a few billion to backstop what they call their strategic interests in Ukraine. The rule of law is really just another weapon in the hands of this so-called geopolitical commission and this type of horse trading, of course there's problems in Hungary and many other areas as well but this type of horse trading certainly doesn't But for the EU's war zealots, the people who stake their political careers on deterring peace in Ukraine. Who cares? But reality is catching up with you The United States is rapidly losing interest in the proxy war it provoked and maintained just as it always does Europe will be left picking up this piece of

1:28:16 just like it always is. It's not too late for Europe to play a constructive role in what comes next for Ukraine, but as long as frowd genocide is at the helm constructiveness is the last thing we can hope for. Froud genocide? That's better than Queen Ursula! But I love frowd... Froud genocide, that sounds gem. Yeah that's a good one There is some... Now have another one where she goes off the rails but she's talking off topic and they cut her off. They literally kill her mic. So far, the EU and US response to Israeli genocide has been straight from the abusers handbook Darvo deny attack reverse victim on a fender And if that doesn't work or just change the subject so as the genocide in Gaza continues you want to talk about everything but Gaza You refuse to put the item on an agenda An agenda stacked

1:29:10 with every cliche imaginable from Venezuela to Iran, with pride of place given to the old reliable Russian interference. So across the pond Special Agent Nancy Pelosi gives the signal branding Palestine protesters as Kremlin operatives I like clockwork. The dark insinuations begin in Europe, everyone can see what you're doing it's tedious it's predictable you've been doing it since 2016 and it isn't going to work anymore the mass movement is focused like a laser on genocide everyone knows its happening and Europe is... I'm sorry this is debate with a title so you should stick to the issue thank you

1:29:56 Shut up slave! I'm surprised they didn't cut her off earlier. Okay so i have a couple clips here that fit right into this we'll start with with that last bit about the genocide Hillary Clinton is still out there speaking she was speaking in some event with our ambassador to the United Nations what's that lady's name? She looks like Donna Brazile, kind of in a way. Oh she looks like James Brown. Thank you very much. That's my name that's right. The people of Libya! The people of Iraq! The people of Syria! The people of Yemen! The people of Palestine and the world to be honored

Hungary President Resignation, Katalin Novak Scandal

Hungarian President Katalin Novak resigned following public outrage over her decision to pardon a man convicted of covering up sexual abuse in a children's home. Novak, a close ally of Prime Minister Viktor Orban, admitted the pardon was a mistake, ending her tenure as Hungary's first female president.

katalin novak· hungary· viktor orban· pardon scandal· fidesz

1:30:38 Okay, that's Hillary now. Okay. I encourage doing this to Hillary Clinton. I think it's great, and I love this And I'd love they brought in Libya a Hillary what the hell yeah the Libya thing is a Hilary What's her name? Hillary Daisy? What's her name you put in our middleman here? Thank you very much That's my name no he said something not Rodham said something else Donna it's like there's some other name in there

1:31:33 She has another name. For some reason they brought in another middle name, I'm not sure why Now going back to Hungary we have a development there that is quite interesting After 641 days Katalin Novak's reign as president of Hungary came to an end on Saturday after being caught up in an unprecedented political scandal she announced her resignation in a televised address As head of state, I'm addressing you for the last time today. I am resigning from the office of President of the Republic." The 46-year old had come under mounting pressure to quit after it emerged that last year she had issued a pardon to a man convicted of helping to cover up sexual abuse in a children's home – a decision that Novak described as a mistake.

1:32:19 Last April, I chose to grant a pardon believing that the convicted offender had not abused the vulnerability of the children in his care. I made a mistake." Novak's decision to quit comes after a week of public outrage with 1,000 demonstrators rallying outside the president's office on Friday demanding her resignation Novak is a key ally of Prime Minister Viktor Orban, serving as Vice President in the ruling Fidesz party between 2017 and 2021. And becoming the first woman to be elected president of Hungary in 2022. So I'm not quite sure how to interpret this but because

1:33:00 Orban, you know he just got a lot of what he wanted by agreeing to the 50 billion euro package for Ukraine. I'm thinking she might have been a stooge on the inside and he wanted her out so now he has full power unless he replaces her That that whole situation like yeah, she let a the she let a child abuser go and it was a mistake Yeah something up with that something very strange. Yes something's up with By the way its Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton there much There's a reason why they threw in the Diane which I'm not sure why? Is that extra insulting to her? I didn't know that by the way. I only knew Hillary Rotem is the how Hilary Diane is there something

Ukraine Military Aid, Artillery Shell Pricing

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy thanked the EU for a 50 billion euro aid package but warned of delays in artillery shell deliveries. Reports indicate a significant price discrepancy in munitions, with 155mm shells costing the US taxpayer up to $8,000 each, while similar shells are produced in Bulgaria for approximately $500.

volodymyr zelenskyy· artillery shells· bulgaria· military aid· eu

1:33:50 I never heard this. Insulting about that? There's a reason, i'm sure... Anyway, Zelensky is very happy with the package He has got a big package from Europe Well he's not entirely happy We need a little more! I am grateful for your decision on the financial instrument for us For our people in Ukraine Ukraine facilitated with 50 billion euros for a four-year period. This is a clear signal that Ukraine will withstand and that Europe will withstand it is also really important that this decision was taken

1:34:31 unanimously by all, all of you, all 27 member states and it is yet another clear sign of your strong unity and support for Ukraine. Intelligence confirmed that Russia will receive a million artillery shells from Pyongyang Meanwhile, unfortunately... Oh I'm sorry. Russia's getting missiles from North Korea. Okay. We receive a million artillery shells from Pyongyang. Meanwhile, unfortunately the implementation of the European plan to supply one million artillery shells to Ukraine is being delayed and this too is a signal of global competition in which Europe cannot afford to lose

1:35:17 And that's why today your unity is so needed in creating the Ukraine Assistance Fund within our European peace facility. So he wants to build up the European facility in Ukraine to build missiles? I mean, shells and ammunition? You know what those shells are? You know what the American taxpayer pays for one of those 155 millimeter shells that we keep sending over there. Let me guess, let me guess... For one? One I'm gonna say $30,000 No! But it's still not cheap they're between five and eight thousand dollars a shell hmm and... Let's just call it ten

1:36:07 So that's 10,000 million. Well they tend more toward the five, the eights come later but most of them are sold by middlemen and bought in Bulgaria for 500 bucks a piece! We're in the wrong business man that was good The Bulgarians make a lot of shells and they sell them for 500 bucks And we sell them for 5 000 to 8 000 dollars apiece Oh goodness gracious...and who are we selling him too? We're selling him to the American taxpayer. Yes, yes this is what we do! What are you talking about? This is good! This is good... You had a fun little thing in the newsletter about Sonny Austin. Oh yeah, Sonny Austin

Sunny Hostin Ancestry Reveal, Finding Your Roots

The View co-host Sunny Hostin appeared on the PBS show "Finding Your Roots," where she discovered her ancestors were Spanish slaveholders in Puerto Rico. Hostin, who identifies as Black and has advocated for reparations, expressed shock at her deep European roots and her family's involvement in the slave trade.

sunny hostin· finding your roots· pbs· slavery· puerto rico

1:36:55 And I, it's worth- Did you get some clips? I do have some clips. Oh, I'd love to hear them! The clips are funny...I didn't get any clips but Sonny just as a backgrounder, Sonny Haustin who purports to be a black woman slave descendant turns out to be the descendent of Spanish and she now should look at her say yeah she looks like a dark skinned Spanish woman mm-hmm She turns out to be the descendants of Spanish slave holders Well, so a little more background as we discussed what Mo said. All of these women—we'll just call them black women who were all pushed to the front DEI here you go President of Harvard Joy Reed at MSNBC Fannie Willis

1:37:45 But also Sonny Hostin, Mo Kaldroth specifically said now they have to show that they were the right choice. The meritocracy part is coming in now and this is just right on cue an amazing takedown of this woman by PBS here's a tip You should never go on the show finding my roots. This is a dumb idea, I wouldn't do it! Sunny's roots in Aguadilla were about to connect her to some painful history Our researchers discovered that her third great-grandfather Fermin was the son of a merchant who was likely involved in the slave trade and Fermin himself owned at least one human being

1:38:34 What's more, moving back on this line we found that it originates in Galicia Spain. Evidence of Sunny's deeper ancestry and her family ties to Spain's colonial past. What is like to learn about this tangible connection with Spain? I'm married a Spaniard! Half Spanish half Haitian. There you go. Wow Wow. I'm a little bit in shock, I just always thought of myself as Puerto Rican you know half Puerto Rican and I didn't think I was

1:39:12 My family was originally from Spain and slaveholders. So how are you feeling, my friend? I just... Like crap! I think it's actually pretty interesting that my husband and I have shared roots so I do appreciate that And i think its great for our children to know this information I guess it's a fact of life that this is how some people made their living on the backs of others. So, couple things to note...I love the term owned-a human! I love that not a slaveholder owned a human but wait we're not done yet you still got a mama we gotta pull apart

1:39:55 What's more, Sunny's own DNA testifies to an even greater connection. Almost a quarter of her admixture is from the Iberian Peninsula... Oh no! ...a fact that took Sunny by surprise I mean, I had no idea of the Spanish roots to this extent. Mm-hmm. I'm still sort of shocked about the depth of the ties, I guess? What do you think all these white people just came up out on the ground? They had to come from somewhere! I'm just kind of surprised... I mean, my mother's family does look white. So... What you got against space? Just the colonization of other people. Owning humans! But um... You know and I'm surprised that they were enslavers actually Yeah That is disappointing And that's a lot to deal with Has it changed anything about the way you think of your mother No

1:41:01 My mother certainly identifies as Puerto Rican. Right And non-white actually Identifies, identifies as Puerto Rican I hate this for her She's gonna see how deeply white she is Oh no! Your mama deeply white oh no so Of course, this doesn't make Sonny Hauston a slave owner or make her a bad person other than that she's always been calling for reparations. And I would say that she seems to have gotten some nice gigs, the whole production deal based on her black-oriented TV documentaries and projects so let's go to The View and let's talk it out shall we? Good morning! Welcome to The View!

The View Reparations Discussion, Ancestral Responsibility

Following her ancestry revelation, Sunny Hostin maintained her support for reparations on "The View," arguing that the country still needs racial justice regardless of her personal family history. The discussion touched on the concept of ancestral guilt and the distinction between identifying as a race versus biological admixture.

You know I was really reluctant I don't know how you felt when you did it whoopie, but I was really reluctant to do it because I just sensed that there could be something in my family set up history that would be disappointing. Disappointing? Oh, I'm so disappointed in my ancestors! I'm disappointed I am white! Negative yes... I thought I was going to have that kind of moment. I can't leverage my bullshit anymore! What did you say?!

1:42:39 What'd you say? I said, I'm so disappointed. I'm white because they can't leverage my bullshit anymore Disappointing Negative negative yes I thought I was gonna have that kind of moment and skip had asked me to do it for a long time And I finally just who is Skip And why are you friends with him? I decided to do it because i thought It'd be helpful for my children and my children's children To know what their real history was, but what I found out was that My mother's family while they are Puerto Rican They actually originate from Spain. The reason that they moved to Puerto Rico is Because the slave trade had been sort of cancelled in Spain and then Curacao

1:43:24 all of their slaves to Puerto Rico. And so the family business, I have been told that they were printers and journalists but they were in fact enslavers. Enslavers! Not slave owners, enslavers. My mother fell over the audience. It was deeply disappointing because my mother really identified as Puerto Rican she was part of the civil rights movement And she was deeply ingrained in black culture and identified herself as black for race. But what did she identify as Puerto Rican, Black? What was she Sonny? Hispanic for ethnicity

1:44:09 But her race is white. She's European I know it's weird because when you look at her my mother's blonde and she has light eyes And my whole family looks like that, but she can be black The thing is, okay so first of all this identifies as Sonny. It's okay! You didn't own humans it's okay! It's okay or as Whoopi calls it a bummer. The slave thing is a bummer. I'm sorry not Whoopi. Bayhart, it's a bummer. The slave thing is a bummer! It's a bummer. Your face is a bummer. She can't control us I still believe in reparations by the way so y'all can stop texting me and emailing me and saying that I'm a white girl And that I don't deserve reparations That's-I still believe Someone did that to him? Yeah I dunno who sent her a thing telling her she was a white girl Okay, its too much people

1:45:04 Clean off your television screen. Yeah, that's a lot so I still believe in reparations and this country has a lot to do in terms of racial justice but what I will say Sarah to your question is that I'm enriched by knowing that history. You one of us, girl! And I'm enriched by knowing that my family has come so far from being enslavers to my mother marrying my father in 1968 Oh, oh, I see As long as you marry someone black it's okay if your ancestors were slaveholders I feel enriched now

1:45:46 You're not responsible for what they did. Oh, you're not responsible for what they did she says! Well I'm... When i did it and was hoping they'd find out that I was related to Mussolini or something but nothing like that came up. My word Rachel Dolezal or whatever her name is comes to mind. I mean can't you just say hey okay it's all right, you know? It's alright you're not responsible for something that happened hundreds of years ago but you do have to pay now obviously Sonny yeah you gotta join in the payments and you can't take any payments because your white deeply

San Francisco Race-Based Guaranteed Income Lawsuit

A lawsuit has been filed against San Francisco for programs that provide guaranteed income exclusively to Black and trans residents. Critics argue the programs are unconstitutional for excluding individuals based on race, while Mayor London Breed's office defends the initiatives as necessary to address structural racism and health disparities.

1:46:26 Or move to San Francisco, maybe you can still get a good deal. Controversial Kaylee for two reasons One people receiving your tax dollars with no requirement they work and secondly should they be getting that money based solely on skin color? The lawsuit says San Francisco in California illegally give out millions each year to minorities and trans women based solely on race and gender identity through these three programs The Black Economic Equity Project hands out $500 a month exclusively to young black Bay Area residents. The Guaranteed Income project for trans people, that pays $1200 a month provided you're black indigenous Latino and transgender. And the Abundant Birth project gives $1000 a month solely

1:47:12 to pregnant black and Pacific Islander women. Each of these three programs qualifies and disqualifies individuals from participation and benefits based on their race that's what they do the birth project defends the aid saying black and Pacific Islander women have higher rates of premature birth this risk is primarily due to racism both structural racism and the racism that birthing people and mothers experience when they're interacting with physicians and other medical providers. Still critics say it's illegal to exclude white and Latino women especially those with higher risk of complication now Mayor London Breed supports all three programs though none require work example

1:47:56 The $1,200 stipend will be provided to participants so they may focus on their basic physical and mental health and wellness without worrying about income according to GIFT. So all three programs Kaylee declined interviews the mayor's office says the programs are legal and they look forward to going to court. Yeah, yeah then answer of course is not to take that money away but give it to all people California UBI incoming Yeah, we got nothing but money here. You guys are loaded! All aboard trains good planes bad. Oh such a controversy. Controversy oh my goodness we have to weigh the passengers.

Airline Passenger Weighing Surveys, Finnair Safety Protocols

Finnair and Air New Zealand have implemented voluntary programs to weigh passengers and their carry-on luggage. The airlines state the data is essential for calculating aircraft weight and balance to ensure flight safety, as average population weights change over time.

finnair· air new zealand· aircraft balance· aviation safety· passenger weight

1:48:43 We need weight and balance. Everybody's all up in arms about Finnair This morning the Scandinavian airline Finnair inviting passengers to be weighed in along with their carry-on baggage The airline says the goal is to collect anonymous data on average weight of passengers with their hand luggage for the purpose of aircraft balance and performance calculations that are needed for the safe operation of flights So far 600 passengers have volunteered for the survey Airlines use an average for male and female, summer and winter. You need to correct those every now and then especially if the population has gotten a bit more pudgy. It turns out the airline has been doing this since 2018 and it's completely voluntary! It is not uncommon for some international airlines to do wait surveys every few years required by their governing bodies

1:49:30 Every five years, you figure the population changes a little in weight and that's why these tests are needed. And Finnair is not alone Air New Zealand weighed more than 10,000 passengers last June air New Zealand calling the survey essential to the safe an efficient operation of the aircraft and that the pilot needs to know the weight and balance of a loaded plane before takeoff and Korean Air did it in the fall saying collecting this data was crucial for the safety of flight operations It is, it's just a survey. It's opt-in but of course you know this is just crazy we can't... This is 2024! You know the way I feel about it? Go People should be charged based on their weight

1:50:15 And again, this is completely voluntary. Nobody has been forced to step on a scale but when this happened it of course certainly triggers a lot of good questions maybe even some anxiety from a lot of people but Robin you had a good solution. Well just put the whole plane on a scale! If its voluntary that means your not getting the information that you need so when everybody's onboard isn't there some way technology? I mean you'd think in 2024 we could figure that out because as John said were getting punchy Yeah, so we put the whole plane on a scale. No weight and balance is incredibly important We understand your take on it now I'm gonna connect this to another story which is a day wrecker of the story

Nigerian Bank CEO Helicopter Crash, Eurocopter EC-120

Herbert Wigwe, CEO of Access Bank in Nigeria, was killed in a helicopter crash in San Bernardino County along with his wife and son. The Eurocopter EC-120 was reportedly flying in wintry conditions and may have been overweight, as it was carrying more passengers than its standard five-seat capacity.

herbert wigwe· nigeria· helicopter crash· ntsb· san bernardino

1:51:01 But weight and balance is very important people. The investigation is just getting started into a helicopter crash in San Bernardino County that killed six people the crash happened around 10 o'clock last night east of the 15 freeway near Hilarion Springs, the crash site is known for an abandoned gas station with the sign that says low gas and eat it's very close to the California Nevada border about 80 miles matter-of-fact from Las Vegas The Eurocopter EC-120 took off from Palm Springs Airport and was headed to Boulder City, Nevada. But it never made it. The CEO of one of Nigeria's largest banks was on board.

1:51:38 Herbert Wigway was killed along with his wife and son. Their identities were confirmed by an official with the World Trade Organization The National Transportation Safety Board is on scene to lead the investigation One thing they'll look at is the weather conditions It was reported by witnesses that there was rain with some wintry mix We currently have a meteorologist working on our team and we're working to analyze and get the exact weather conditions at that time. The helicopter was not equipped with either a flight data recorder or a cockpit voice recorder A preliminary report on the crash will be released in a couple of weeks, the final report could take anywhere from 12-24 months

1:52:21 So the banking CEO was on his way to the Super Bowl, or at least that's the report. This is interesting to me because in 2001 I owned a Eurocopter 120. I know a lot about it. I've flown it myself. No, this is relatively... It's a single-engine turbine helicopter. It's quiet because there's the patented Eurocopter enclosed fin for the tail rotor does not have a data recorder or cockpit recorder. It actually runs on Windows NT, which I never liked when you start the helicopter. You got to boot screen for NT 3.1 but this second report which is a report which is...I'm going to presume the reporter got the information from the charter company

1:53:09 tells me something was very wrong. Eyewitness News reporter Leanne Suter joins us live from Burbank with the latest on the investigation, Leanne? Tori, that helicopter was operated by Orbit Air based here at the Burbank airport. A pilot as well as a safety pilot were on board along with four passengers one of them the head of a major Nigerian bank Okay this is a five seat helicopter pilot co-pilot or she called safety pilot and three in the back if there were four passengers you are overweight So besides flying in wintry conditions, somebody did something very wrong here. We'll wait for the NTSB report or maybe they're just full of crap and they don't know but it makes... And also safety pilot? That's usually when an owner is flying himself

1:54:01 The whole thing is sketchy. Or they just wanted to kill a banker! Well, what's sketchy to me is there was a dead banker. Banker? That's why I said we just wanted to kill a banker. Yeah that's possible... And he's Nigerian?! Yeah it's a day wrecker. It's not good. So he has something to do with the Nigerian banking scheme? Could be Yeah, I think he's murdered. I think I got an email from him at some point. I got one too! Funny thing... Hey do you remember that report? Was it your report about the heads like some outfit where they just had heads on tables? You remember that? Heads on tables you're thinking of Futurama No no there was some report you had and we were laughing-I think it even became a show title

Phoenix Body Donation Scandal, Biological Resource Center

An FBI raid on the Biological Resource Center in Phoenix revealed a "chop shop" operation where human body parts were sold for profit. Agents reported finding buckets of heads and limbs, as well as a "Frankenstein" torso with a mismatched head sewn onto it, violating the consent agreements made by donating families.

phoenix· fbi· body donation· biological resource center· medical research

1:54:46 It was like the guy had heads every head's baby's heads cut off or something. Well, it's not one of my gruesome reports well then here's mine The biological resource center was essentially running a chop shop for human body parts mixing matching and selling them in ways we never heard of until tonight Described as unsettling but it sounds a whole lot worse One FBI agent revealing what it was really like inside the Phoenix body donation facility In 2014, he saw everything from buckets of heads arms and legs to coolers filled with severed penises when the FBI raided the building. Confused and angry we thought this was going to be doing some good He even spotted a smaller head sewn onto a larger torso in a quote Frankenstein manner. It wasn't your choice we made

1:55:38 It wasn't a choice any of the families made. Body parts piled on top of each other inside biological research center where families donated their loved ones What was the name of this restaurant again? In a quote, Frankenstein manner. It wasn't a choice we made it wasn't a choice any of the families made Body parts piled on top of each other inside biological resource center where families donated their loved ones for medical research Discoveries of sickness and disease maybe come up with a cure Some say the company violated everything they promised Tragedy that's never resolved

1:56:17 And it just keeps going on and deeper and deeper. The limbs, according to that agent with no apparent identification the company sued months after the FBI raided families claiming their loved ones weren't treated with dignity and respect a promise written on their own consent forms The company also accused of selling body parts for profit after saying they'd only use the parts they needed and would cremate the ones they didn't, and return them. A torso with a head apparently went for $2400 bucks. A bargain! A leg about $1100. They even sell knees and feet alone for under 500. Good news everyone

1:56:58 Man, what is going on in Phoenix? This is... What a weird story. I'll give you Clip of the Day for digging that one up Thank you this one deserves a lot more attention I think I want to know who was ordering a body with a smaller head sewn on top. Come on, what is going on? And a whole bucket of penises! That's a good one. We're worried about Jeffrey Epstein and Phoenix people... What is happening?! What is going on?? That's just... I think we need to go look at Taylor Swift. Oh, we all need to calm down and I'm not talking about the podcast, I'm talking about having Taylor Swift here

1:57:39 Yeah, my goodness. Hey I have a Super Bowl clip. A sports ball and then we can talk about the big game! In a metropolis once known as Sin City the biggest sin heading into Sunday evening's Super Bowl is not knowing that this guy number 87 is the boyfriend of Taylor Swift Number 87 has a name Travis Kelsey a star in American football terms for the Kansas City Chiefs and a star for answering repeated questions about his love life. Why do you think everyone's so fascinated with you two? I think the values that we stand for, and just who we are as people.

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift Media Frenzy

The relationship between Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift has brought significant international attention to the NFL, particularly from female fans in Japan and the UK. Media coverage has focused on Swift's travel from her Tokyo concert to Las Vegas, cementing her status as a prominent "WAG" (Wives and Girlfriends) in the sports world.

1:56:58 Man, what is going on in Phoenix? This is... What a weird story. I'll give you Clip of the Day for digging that one up Thank you this one deserves a lot more attention I think I want to know who was ordering a body with a smaller head sewn on top. Come on, what is going on? And a whole bucket of penises! That's a good one. We're worried about Jeffrey Epstein and Phoenix people... What is happening?! What is going on?? That's just... I think we need to go look at Taylor Swift. Oh, we all need to calm down and I'm not talking about the podcast, I'm talking about having Taylor Swift here

1:57:39 Yeah, my goodness. Hey I have a Super Bowl clip. A sports ball and then we can talk about the big game! In a metropolis once known as Sin City the biggest sin heading into Sunday evening's Super Bowl is not knowing that this guy number 87 is the boyfriend of Taylor Swift Number 87 has a name Travis Kelsey a star in American football terms for the Kansas City Chiefs and a star for answering repeated questions about his love life. Why do you think everyone's so fascinated with you two? I think the values that we stand for, and just who we are as people. Kelsey support extends to Taylor Swift fans, Swifties half-a world away Tokyo hosted the last of four sold out concerts Saturday evening

1:58:29 I hadn't really watched American football until now, but because Taylor's boyfriend plays, I finally watched it. The question on so many lips after this last gig in Tokyo will a private plane get her back in time to as she has in the past join other players' girlfriends wives and family for the game? She should make it And that's good news even for those who don't count themselves as Swifties. She will be in the house, in the building for the Super Bowl but I mean...I love it! I think her attending will bring a new eye to this sport and there will probably be women who shift their attention to football We should all be so lucky that we have a significant other wanting to support us in our job right? It would nice if our families listened to our show John right?!

1:59:20 Be honest about it. Yeah, well sometimes they do so I like um...I like that they brought the WAGS acronym to America although they said in reverse order you know in the UK It's always Wags wives and girlfriends She's now a wag. And I think we should We should perpetuate that meme wag So, yeah I think NFL benefits is a good very very good promise. It was done as a publicity stunt let's face reality Well should we get into the betting because uh i've learned a lot from CBS Evening News about prop bets and then... Oh prop bets only maniacs take those If this was the Super Bowl of news stories I'd bet anything that people would bet on anything

CHAPTER 38 / 50 Discussion

Peak Swift Theory, Media Boomerang Effect

Analysts discuss the "Peak Swift" theory, suggesting that the current level of media saturation regarding Taylor Swift and the NFL may lead to a public backlash. Potential future milestones include a visit to the White House if the Kansas City Chiefs win the Super Bowl, which could represent the apex of her cultural influence.

taylor swift· nfl· publicity stunt· white house· media cycle

2:03:43 I mean, what can you do? Hold on. What could there be after this? Well if they let's say the Chiefs win or lose the Super Bowl is this make Taylor more or less popular depending depending on the outcome of the game? I'm just looking at the laws of nature. Would it be set up for them to lose so they can have a sympathetic, oh poor Taylor? No no i'm looking at the laws of nature dictate if you use the media which is your assertion that they are using the media to promote themselves but to promote uh... the NFL that's a publicity stunt the law of nature

2:04:31 requires, particularly in America but also in the UK is very good at it that the boomerang comes around and chops your head off and they just excoriate you. And they just kick you down into the mud so of course you can then be to come back kid in a few years see OJ. But she doesn't need to be a comeback kid She will if she's bashed into the mud because she distracted Kelsey and he fumbles the ball, and the 49ers pick it up. I think even Mahomes' quarterback is going to pick it up He's gonna run all the way to the end zone... wins the game! Mahomes is with the Chiefs Oh shoot, wrong sports team Good God Always comes out My basic thesis remains

2:05:19 Do you think she's going to be on the half? And the quarterback of the other team wouldn't be picking it up. He would not be picking it up, he wouldn't be on the field I gotcha. We all know I'm not a sports ball guy but I am feeling a loss for the Chiefs and Taylor getting blamed for it that's just the law of nature now it could happen that we're not at peak swift yet And then, but what? Okay. Every time you say that I'm going to ask the same question how can well how if this isn't going to be peak swift yeah what will be i don't see any other opportunity this is right now Swift at the White House she just finished the Eros tour yes so it's like the white house at the white that would be peak swift chiefs win

2:06:06 Kelsey goes with her. The Chiefs win and she goes to the White House with Kelsey and the rest of the team? Yes, yes! And then they take pictures over in the Oval Office in the President's chair. Peaks lift We've got to hit it eventually. You've got to hit it eventually, nobody stays on top forever you just don't. No I understand that and I'm in total agreement with the thesis that people who overdo it with the media get chopped down to their normal, they get chopped down always and they always do. I mean I don't want it for her but I'm just calling reality as time. Oh I think we could want it for her, its not a big deal. Its not like she can't afford it

Chinese Cyberattack Warnings, Volt Typhoon Operation

FBI Director Christopher Wray warned that Chinese hackers, specifically the group "Volt Typhoon," are positioning themselves within American critical infrastructure to cause real-world harm. Local sheriffs in Ohio and elsewhere are ramping up training and ammunition supplies in response to fears of attacks on power grids and communication networks.

2:09:18 with China. So all the sheriffs were called to Washington DC earlier this week And they all came back with a similar report, including our sheriff here in Gillespie County. Remember I've told you this and i don't want to be... This is not our sheriff by the way this is Butler county He was at Chicken Little that says the sky's fallen and nobody believed him and I want to tell ya that it's gonna happen here Sheriff Richard Jones believes terrorists are living among us already This concern is being raised after he heard the FBI director speak to sheriffs from across the country last week

2:09:56 After hearing those remarks, he believes an attack is coming and he said some attacks have already started in the form of cyberattacks. And they're coming after his department daily. I was told today that five times a day China tries to hack our computer system but Butler County, Ohio. Just a county in the one of 3300 immediately upon his return from Washington DC The sheriff started making changes He's ordering more ammunition for his officers and he's also stocked each Sheriff's cruiser with an AR-15 on top of that He's ramping up these citizen police academy training sessions We want you to be concerned now You're a fool if you don't listen to the chatter And when the federal government says it's there here

2:10:42 and it's coming, we want to educate them. And we're going to increase our citizens on patrol and we're gonna be the police." The sheriff has concerns about hacking tampering with the Sheriff's Office, the Board of Elections, the power grid and cell towers. Hey don't have to believe me at all if you wanna hey... You don't have to be trained in firearms when we call you can go hide in your basement build a safe room good luck for you So what this is about is on the heels of the speech which I think actually this is to ten days ago, February 1st. Tonight the FBI director sounding the alarm about Chinese efforts to attack American power grids transportation systems and communications networks China's hackers are positioning on American infrastructure in preparation to wreak havoc

2:11:36 and cause real world harm to American citizens and communities. This is a very underreported testimony. And Christopher Wray announcing a major take down of a Chinese hacking operation on American soil dubbed Volt Typhoon Working with our partners, the FBI ran a court authorized on network operation to shut down Volt Typhoon and the access it enabled steps China was taking in other words to find and prepare to destroy or degrade the civilian critical infrastructure that keeps us safe. and prosperous.

2:12:34 Trains get derailed, air traffic control system port control systems are malfunctioning. This is truly an everything everywhere all at once scenario. Easterly said China believes that sort of cyber attack would crush any American will to defend Taiwan from a Chinese invasion in a statement to NBC News A Chinese government spokesman denied China hacks into foreign networks calling it irresponsible criticism Okay, what is this about? They are scaring people probably unnecessarily. Seems a little odd that they're gonna take down cell phone water plants air traffic control It's not like you drink polluted water somehow it's not like there's one switch you throw and everything goes down and then scaring these Lindsey Graham podunk sheriffs into believing that China is hacking your very own computer systems of course five times today That's nothing

Cybersecurity Realities, Lunar New Year Travel

Experts note that while government warnings about Chinese hacking are frequent, most "attacks" are automated pings that occur thousands of times daily across the internet. Meanwhile, the Lunar New Year has prompted massive global travel, reminiscent of the period just before the initial COVID-19 outbreak in 2020.

cybersecurity· ip addresses· china· lunar new year· hong kong

2:13:30 Five times a day is nothing we get 50,000 pings from all over the world every day Yeah at least and it's all just bought trust me remember that program that used to be sold. It was like a Shields up kind of the thing and they were used to bid in the corner would tell you how many people are trying To attack you Oh the pew-pew map No no not the pew-pew map as a product on your own computer And it would just show a laundry list of IP addresses coming in, hitting your machine. And it was just never ending! It was like one after another after another... By the end of the day there were people... A zone alarm is being... Was it a zone alarm? Yeah and they were constant because that's what goes on. That's not five times a day. But why are they doing this?

2:14:22 I mean it has a week cycle. There's something to do with, okay six weeks cycle and then you know they got vault typhoon Jeez, whatever that is and maybe it's to beef up military industrial complex purchasing for the Taiwan invasion or what I mean. I don't like it No the whole thing if I never even heard this this all news to me when they're doing a shit job That's what I'm saying this well this I think that's why they pulled all the sheriff's in because this was February 1st When we I didn't play this report at the time but we had it as NBC nightly news so because they can't get enough people worked up about it because I think but i think there's enough computer literate people that as soon as you say the Chinese are trying to attack us five times a day you have to roll your eyes yeah

2:15:10 If they're going to try to attack us, it's gonna be 10 thousand times an hour. What people really should do is just never watch any news at all listen to us twice a week just listen to us once a week you'll get all the news you find out what's going on buy people magazine curl up with a glass of Chardonnay by the way People Magazine is like only ten pages have you seen this thing in the supermarket No, I haven't. Oh it used to be the Bible and now it's just a little thing...little thin looks like 10 maybe 20 pages top and it's always got a celebrity with cancer on the front Wow! It is really bad. It's bad now I mean people don't worry about it this is all just meant to spin you up but you know what? I'm saying this as an elder

2:16:04 So you can rest, you can rest assured. Adam the Elder that's her show title. Here is something we should be worried about This is how Hong Kong rings in the year of the dragon Thousands of people flocked to this famous temple To offer their first incense at the altar at midnight the very beginning of Lunar New Year. It's lunar new year John that's how it started last time! As a traditional ritual, worshippers believe that the earlier they make their offerings the better luck they will have in the year ahead. So everyone is traveling around China and traveling around the world going to Italy remember? Wasn't everything wasn't the spread of COVID blamed on the lunar new year traffic no they cut it off

Meta AI Labeling Policies, Election Safeguards

Meta announced it will begin labeling AI-generated images on Facebook, Instagram, and Threads to combat misinformation during the 2024 election cycle. The White House also announced plans to cryptographically verify official communications to protect against deepfake technology.

2:16:52 They did cut it off. Well, how come they're letting them go this time because they the Chinese have this tradition of taking off on Lunar New Year there just like the number of travel miles they run through is unbelievable I Have one hope that door plugs are in yes, okay besides that Meta AI thing. Yeah, why don't you do that? I want you to do that! Alright let's play this is meta versus AI versus PBS Earlier this week as the 2024 election campaigns picked up steam Meta announced it would start labeling AI generated images that appear on Facebook Instagram and threads to help users better judge what they're seeing

2:17:35 In December, an advocacy group called Free Press said Meta, YouTube and X have rolled back a total of 17 policies intended to protect against hate speech and misinformation. So they finally have AI that can identify AI? Well hold on first of all how does this whole beginning in this whole premise for this report is non-sequitur He's talking about Meta helping the public by identifying AI images on its site and then it switches so they're not doing anything! The stock will be 800 before you know it the group also said layoffs at the three companies make it harder to enforce the safeguards that remain oh We need some government money Katie Harbath is the chief global affairs officer at Duco which is a technology consulting firm She's also a former public policy director at Facebook Katie this announcement from meta how big a deal? Is that how helpful is this going to be and isn't enough I

2:18:39 So I think that this is just one of many important steps that all online platforms have to take when thinking about safeguarding elections not only here in the United States but around the globe. And so we are facing new challenges with AI as well as existing challenges that have been around for a long time, such as misinformation and foreign interference transparency around political ads And I think one of the challenges as we go into this cycle is that question of whether or not these platforms are prepared, is we just don't know because they are also putting in a lot investment. They're making a lot of changes, as you mentioned but we also don't know the twists and turns that await for us over the course of this next year. The real proof of this will be how these companies act

2:19:25 as these different elections happen and as we see different forms of nefarious interference happen. You know, now that Zuckerberg got spanked maybe they're wisening up a little bit and it's like you know maybe we should be doing some AI for one of these teams or be labeling stuff that's real is fake I don't know. Well, that's gonna happen for sure yeah the other White House just announced they're going to cryptographically verify official communications as AI deepfake surge So there I guess they're putting their press releases on the blockchain this should see a surgeon or are they gonna use micro dots? Surgeon block chain Sam Altman

2:20:16 Raising I got part three of this. Oh, sorry This is one of the biggest open questions for me Many of the some of the platforms such as meta have actually announced things that they're doing for the upcoming Indonesian elections For the Mexico elections coming up But they're just not being as transparent about that and what that means around the globe traditionally we have seen just a lot more time money and effort put into the English language into elections in the US and the EU. And I am worried that so much attention is gonna get sucked into those elections, that we will forget about these elections all around the globe, that will have just as much impact on sort of the future of the global world order and how to handle issues on everything from climate change to other geopolitical issues?

2:21:00 Oh, climate change. Turn off your televisions people! Shut down your social media accounts don't look at it just look at the floor the spinning will go away it's okay it's okay Sam Altman is really smart though he is now raising quote trillions of dollars to build AI chips that that's where the money is In raising money not it. I don't think the No, that's you nailed it. Yeah, I'm great That's what a month of money is raised the money is in raising money and then the big news Google barf no longer known as Google bar if it's now Gemini They've they've rebranded to Gemini What was it before? Barf there wasn't more than that was bard Google Bard we dubbed at barf

Google Gemini Rebranding, AI Business Models

2:21:52 Oh, okay. But check it out so Gemini you can use Google Gemini but then if you really want to use it have no business model that oh you got to get Gemini Pro for $20 a month I mean there's no business model yeah they're doing like premium content if you want the real deal you gotta be gotta get on board you gotta buy it I don't think this is a very good idea these guys know how to do advertising that's their business still isn't Yeah, that's their whole job. I don't know how they're going to do it. Every time they venture off into something else they get all jacked up about it They make a little money like very low margin money and then they say this is no good we can't get by with this low-margin money Let's cancel it and screw everyone who adopted it And with that I'd like to thank you for your courage saying the morning to you The man who put the C in committing journalism Say hello to my friend on the other end of the world Mr John C Devorah

Super Bowl Production, Bud Light Advertising Strategy

The technical production of the Super Bowl and the NFL Honors awards are highlighted as the pinnacle of modern television broadcasting. Bud Light is reportedly returning to humorous advertising for the big game in an attempt to recover from recent brand controversies, supported by endorsements from the UFC.

super bowl· usher· bud light· nfl honors· advertising

2:22:51 In the morning you mr. Adam Curry in the morning all ships and seal boots on the ground feet in the air subs in The water dames and knights out there Let's see last Sunday we had 21 23 currently 2045 so we're down down a little bit down a little bit, but it's a Sunday did we talk about Africa? Oh my god, I had Africa clips. Well we did! Yes we talked about the Nigerian guy. Boom! Oh yeah that's why... If we talk about the Nigerian guy, uh there was an African guy killed in a helicopter. We're tuning out

2:23:35 Hello there, trolls. We love you being here in our troll room listening to the show live The Shive Love That's right I'm really confused today It is Super Bowl Sunday and I am all jacked up It is all crazy What's going on? Are you gonna watch this game? Yeah of course I'm gonna watch the game How could I not? And are you gonna watch those ads because every ad for this year's Super Bowl is $7 million dollars for 30 seconds Wow, that's a little bit more than most podcast ads. Hey where are the ads on Joe Rogan show? There is no ads! He is not brand safe I haven't heard... well it supposed to be 250 million dollars and I haven't heard an ad yet maybe on Spotify but I don't think you know he's in every podcast app now which is cool right now because I wasn't really a Spotify guy

2:24:28 Anyway, seven million dollars. No I'm more interested in the halftime show. I like the spectacle of the television event itself... I hate a half-time show! I always think it's lame and lip synced. It's garbage! I like the television production of the Super Bowl itself. I liked how the game is done. I liked the technical events they put in there. I'd like to camera shots they do. I am always very...it's really the pinnacle of television Well, I'll tell you the pinnacle of television for me recently and I have to say I don't necessarily Think you'd be ever interested in even watching but I caught most of it or not Most of a lot of it. Yeah, and it was called the NFL honors awards Oh, you're right. I would not watch that No It was so

2:25:17 Unbelievably produced it looks like I'd say if you were in the year 2500 and you're watching TV. This is what it would look like Oh now, I have to go back and look at it If you can find it, I mean it was spectacular And if it doesn't win some sort of an award It won't by the Emmys or something is an Emmy show so I mean it's on the Emmys category. I don't know what they're thinking, it was just amazing! It was so well done. I mean it's just...I've never seen anything as good. Are people still yakking about the Super Bowl commercials? Do they show them all ahead of time? I haven't looked at anything yeah not as much as they did 10 years ago. What's Bud Light doing? Bud Lights got to do something big, don't they? They got a couple humorous commercials there but they're going back to humor Yeah they need they should do some self-deprecating humor

2:26:09 And they're smart if they're smart. Well, they're not that smart and then there was an American brand Oh these are poor American brands being no no a bunch of Belgium No That's what Trump is saying Trump is saying don't go too hard on Anheuser-Busch because farmers you've not seen this Yeah yeah he posted that to Anheuser-Busch uses a lot of Actually it's interesting I think said a lot of barley I think Anheuser, isn't Budweiser made from rice? I think it's rice barley and well hops for sure. You have to have that. Yeah you gotta have hops. Oh yeah he was like don't be so harsh on Bud Light. UFC is promoting Bud Light. Yes they're using a lot of local products but it's still a Belgian company.

2:27:02 Well, he wasn't touting the American nature of the business. He was touting the American farmers that produce a lot of barley for the beer That's what he was saying All right. Anyway, trolls thank you for being here we appreciate you all 2000 of you it's a delight it truly is fun to see everyone trolling away in our troll room which you can find at Trollroom.io You can also get this podcast along with the Joe Rogan Show on a modern podcast app why would you want something from old-fashioned legacy media companies who are probably tracking you? No not probably they are tracking you

Value for Value Model, Podcast Art Feedback

The "Value for Value" funding model is discussed as an alternative to traditional advertising, emphasizing listener support through time, talent, and treasure. The hosts also provided feedback on listener-submitted artwork, noting that celebrity images like Taylor Swift cannot be used for official album art due to legal restrictions.

value for value· podcasting· digital art· fair use· bordeaux superior

2:27:43 There's no tracking with this. Go to podcastapps.com, grab a good new fresh open source app. We are based on value for value and boy does that make a difference? No $7 million ads here uh-uh! No Taylor Swift here except the occasional cutaway we got it cut away from time to time but that's about it. Um...no all we do is we just try to bring you the top notch entertainment that we can deliver We deliver it to you twice a week over three hours each time. There's no gimmicks, no tricks, no levels, no subscriptions, no ads, no creepy corporate money... No! Just pure value if you get that value and by the way the donation segment is always

2:28:27 good value people miss out on that often they miss out a lot of good content. Oh yeah, it reminds me I had to my value commentary today because i finally got ahold of the Bordeaux Superior 2021. Ah yes this is your Value for Value Commentary this is a wine tip from JCD so this wine comes out People have just been out for a few months, but it finally came to my Costco. And I was pooh-poohing the idea of that's going to be any good because 2020 was not a great year in Bordeaux. But I think they did a selection which is a term they use in the business for being very careful about what grapes you use to try and make a good wine from mediocre vintage. It's not as bad as I thought it would be. I don't think I'm gonna get a case of it but I can say that it's terrible. Okay. What's the price?

2:29:18 $7.98 Good price! I was talking with someone just about this the other day, they mentioned that hey you guys always have the Costco tips so yes right usually my you must be a donation segment listener why yes i am he said no that's value that's value Bordeaux Superior 2021 check it out is a little light in the mid palette but except for that its drinkable For all you mid palette drinkers out there Be warned. So there's many ways you can give value back time, talent treasure you can do things for the show you can promote the show You can I mean we have people running servers for the show all kinds of things doing meetups arranging meetups

2:30:05 Our artists are the ones who really go all out during the show. They listen live, create artwork right after we're done, right after we close down the show We immediately start doing credits and look for a piece of art And we want to thank... There he is! Comicstripblogger You know if you persevere eventually Eventually you'll get there. And he brought us the artwork for episode 1632 titled King For A Day and he had... There was some commentary on the dog but we liked the Pomeranian, and uh.. He had this simple Don't Eat Me Obama right since we know that Obama ate dogs as a kid Little known fact except here on The Best Podcast In The Universe and it truly was the best piece I'm gonna take a look and see what

2:30:50 But we had what choices we had you have the art generator up as well. Let's take a look at Thank You sir Paul couture for the arch and another great piece of value for value It was no GI Cho, but it was it made us laugh I mean We both just laughed we couldn't help but laugh looking at your piece is acute peace. What else is up there? There's nothing No, well we had the seal team 33 Universal Music Group behind the gate, no. Citizen Trot, a lot of citizen trump. A lot of seven-piece pizzas Yeah yeah which we looked at and it wasn't that the pieces weren't good is just if there was really no joke there you know Putin and Tucker eating pizza a lot of No Spotify's like why would he even show their logo

2:31:41 That's not happening. No, no. The comic strip blog... Taylor Swift, Peek Swift We're not going to put Taylor Swift on our album art that's just not gonna happen For more than one reason Why don't you name them? Well the main reason is you can't use celebrity pictures to advertise a product that you're doing no matter what you think and all the fair use rules don't necessarily apply You just can't do it Right So people are already putting Taylor Swift out there for this show. Yeah, it's not gonna happen! It's just not gonna happen Thank you very much Comics for Blogger we appreciate all of our artists who do this work

2:32:22 It's not easy. It's often thankless because we can only pick one and we do pick one, so the next best thing is to provide honest feedback which we find to be constructive for artists because this is the drill you go through when you're trying to create art for clients and most of them just won't even call you back.

CHAPTER 50 / 50 Discussion

End of Show Mix, St. Francis Coyote Rescue

The episode closes with a "good news" story about a coyote rescued after getting its head stuck in a statue of St. Francis of Assisi in Waukesha County. This is followed by a musical remix featuring clips of President Biden's recent press conference and the Special Counsel report.

2:54:38 Are you telling me you have no ISOs? I'm telling ya, i had an iso and forgot to move it to the file. I only have one! It's gonna be the winner by default and im not happy about it. Well play it There is NO evidence That's it? That's it. That's all I got! I was... I was pulling one from the archives But no, what's wrong with this one we've never used it Okay Let me see if there is a different one here We have NO evidence There's... I got lots of evidence ISO for some reason Wait What is this one? And is there any evidence that this has actually happened? Uh... I like that one Okay

2:55:37 Is there any evidence that this actually happened? Oh my goodness. I'm hoping you have a good news clip because we need to redeem yourself after the last show. So, I have the coyote story... This is a good one! In Waukesha County, a coyote nearly died after getting stuck in the most unlikeliest of places. 12 News' Erica Finkie shares how Wildlife Rescue Center gave the animal a second chance at life. An unusual discovery in the snowy backyard of a Mosquito homeowner A coyote with her head stuck in a statue Oh no! After chasing a rabbit

2:56:16 Not being able to free herself for more than 24 hours, the person ultimately called for help. Noting the creature was attached to a statue of St. Francis of Assisi. It's the patron saint of animals and you know we can't make that up I think there was some divine intervention there. Divine intervention says rescuer Kim Bannock because the coyote was desperate desperately in need of care. She was in shock and hypothermic so she didn't really have any fight left on her, she would've definitely died." The staff at the Wildlife and Need Center took to her quickly even naming her Franny after the saint while she recovered. All you could see was no broken bones which is a good thing

2:56:57 because that's a lot longer to fix. After more than two weeks in treatment, the Wildlife and Needs Center felt Frannie was ready to go back home and into the wild. Anytime it's a release is a best-case scenario That's our goal is to always release them back into the wild give them that second chance at life because they all deserve to live Oh my goodness! They all deserve to live I got good news I got good news, oh yeah! Yeah, it's a Valentine show. It's a Valentine's Day show so people should consider putting a Happy Valentines message out there Nothing says I love you like donating to No Agenda
