About this episode

The Crocus City Hall terrorist attack in Moscow has ignited a geopolitical firestorm as Vladimir Putin and Sergei Markov suggest Ukrainian involvement despite claims of responsibility from ISIS-K. While the U.S. State Department and former CIA Director John Brennan cite a duty-to-warn protocol, Russian officials have dismissed American intelligence as blackmail intended to destabilize the region. This tragedy at the Picnic rock concert now serves as a catalyst for potential military mobilization and a deepening of the hegemonic discourse surrounding the conflict.

Domestic politics shift as Speaker Mike Johnson faces a motion to vacate from Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene following the passage of a $1.2 trillion spending bill. In the corporate sphere, Truth Social prepares for its DJT stock listing after a merger with a shell company, potentially netting Donald Trump $3 billion. Meanwhile, Medicare expands coverage for the weight-loss drug Wegovy, sparking concerns about the long-term solvency of the healthcare system as Oprah Winfrey promotes GLP-1 medications. In the UK, Professor Matt Goodwin warns that net migration of 700,000 people annually will require infrastructure equivalent to five cities the size of Birmingham.

Cultural oddities emerge as a sperm whale off Western Australia deploys a fecal cloud, or poonami, to repel a pod of thirty orcas. Takerufuji makes history as the first rookie in 110 years to win the Grand Sumo Tournament, while a yellow lab named Daisy is rescued from a tire rim by the Franklinville Volunteer Fire Company. The episode also highlights the historical inaccuracies of NHK regarding the Toshiba T1100 laptop and the rise of Ozempic babies among women on birth control.

Takerufuji Wins Grand Sumo Tournament, Japanese Cultural Gratitude

Takerufuji became the first rookie in 110 years to win the Grand Sumo Tournament despite suffering an injury during the competition. Observations of the victory ceremony noted a distinct lack of verbal gratitude toward coaches or agents, which is attributed to Japanese cultural norms regarding duty and the potential insult of being thanked for doing one's job. This behavior contrasts with Western "obligatory gratitude" seen in events like the Academy Awards.

takerufuji· grand sumo tournament· nhk· japan· gratitude· tipping

00:00 I like aggressive turning. Running down replacements and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region No. 6 In The Morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry And from Northern Silicon Valley where we're all celebrating the first time in 110 years that a rookie won the Grand Sumo Tournament! I'm John C. DuBois It's Crackpot & Buzzkill In The Mornin' Takero Fuji Did I get that right? Kinda yeah

00:41 Take a key you Fuji Oh to cure of Fuji. He was he was Injured, he did he lost the match yesterday and we got injured It was up it was up in the air whether he'd win today because he had to win today when the whole thing Yeah And then I noticed something That was an I don't know why it takes me these years. People understand that this is the big sumo championship that you follow and update us on every six months, it seems people yeah people expected some but I noticed now I've been following Sumo for over 40 years easy yes and 16 of those right here on this show now the first time I've noticed this

01:26 The winners, and I think this may be endemic to Japan. The winner comes out and they ask him a lot of questions he never thanks anybody Really? What a douche! No, I've never seen any Japanese wrestler thank anybody over the years. Not even his agents? And I think it's because we have in this country we have a thing called obligatory gratitude so if you watch the Academy Awards they say, I thank my mom and dad, your agents... My director, my producer, my fellow actor they go on and on and on In fact there was some actress that forgot to thank her husband and then got divorced like within a month

02:06 You remember that? Vaguely. Yeah, well that's the kind of thing... And then if you have like Obama says nobody is a self-made man in the United States you gotta thank the government it's because we put roads on the streets We paved the roads as if was for paving road you wouldn't make any money That true, It's true I've tried to figure out why there are no thanks for the stable they're in There are no thanks from their coaches There's no thanks from anybody Oh, Phoebe. The dog doesn't even get any thanks. She gets no thanks! I'm guessing it's because the Japanese are... they have obligations They're a thankless bunch

02:49 No, I think they have obligations and duties. And they don't expect to be thanked! I'm just doing my job why are you thanking me? Well that's true. It may be an insult to be thanked. Tipping in Japan is in fact an insult Yeah If you tip they will come running after you out of the restaurant say oh no no no no I'm just doing my job You should not be tipping me That was the most amazing thing ever witnessed when that happened This may be because duty is accepted as a thing and to be thanking somebody is insulting them. I'm supposed to be doing this, why are you thanking me? That's the only way I can figure it out but they thank nobody! I think this is a good trend

03:36 I'm not gonna thank you for anything. It's not going to happen! We have, and i said it we have obligatory gratitude in this country you have to thank people or else you're a douche In fact you started it off by saying he's a douche yeah You yourself reacted immediately...I know what my comment is that he's a douche I feel bad now I feel bad I think he's right the only person who should be thanking his God That covers it all That's what I'm gonna do from now on. I'm not thanking you for anything. Well then, you're a douche! Yeah well there ya go. By the way so after this show there is a thing...I have to say this and I've been putting it off but you have a doppelganger on NHK

CHAPTER 02 / 50 Discussion

Josh Danielson and Stuart Copeland Doppelgängers

A presenter on NHK named Josh Danielson is identified as a doppelgänger for one of the hosts due to his square appearance and use of bowties. Additionally, the host mentions frequently being mistaken for Stuart Copeland, the drummer for the band The Police.

josh danielson· nhk· stuart copeland· doppelganger· the police

04:21 Right on NHK, on the Japanese television station? Yeah. There's a guy named Josh Danielson If your life had gone differently this would be you He is super square he wears a bow tie and he has got...and he is a presenter but he terrible And every time I look at it I'm always... Wait a minute! I don't like any of these things that are saying here I always look askance at it as, is this Adam doing this bit? Yeah. I'm looking for him now... You're gonna have trouble finding him but if you find him you'll see me be wearing a bowtie and he looks like you and it's like every once in awhile I think, Is this the second job that you do as a joke? Most people confuse me with with the drummer from The Police

05:14 Oh. Stuart Copeland, a lot of people confuse me with him. It's like hey that's your brother yeah it's your brother well this guy is kind of a doppelganger with the bowtie so... Well thanks John! Thanks! So, so on this show again I'm noticing now that I got this thing about the lack of gratitude. They're playing a bogus story about how the T100 T1100 Toshiba laptop was the first in the world when it wasn't by a long shot. Wow there's a twist and turn and did not expect

CHAPTER 03 / 50 Discussion

Toshiba T1100 Laptop Tech History Claims

A report on NHK regarding the Toshiba T1100 laptop is criticized for falsely claiming it was the world's first laptop. Historical records indicate that the Grid Compass preceded the Toshiba model, and the broadcast is noted for failing to name competing companies during the segment.

toshiba· t1100· laptop· tech history· grid compass

05:50 And they go on and on about it. I noticed that throughout the thing, they kept mentioning other companies but never mentioned their names. They said another company again showing no gratitude... Who is this? Who was not thanking? You missed me! How do we transition from the Sumo guy to the Toshiba laptop? They weren't thanking anybody either. Okay, wow! All right a little bit of tech history for you everybody remember those Toshiba laptops? Woo yeah well I always thought they made some of the best laptops but they didn't not make the first by any means that would go to grid now before we get into the news du jour and talk about what The Algo told us to be worried about today

CHAPTER 04 / 50 Discussion

Medicare Coverage Expansion for Wegovy and GLP-1 Drugs

Medicare has announced it will begin covering the weight-loss drug Wegovy for patients with heart disease or a high risk of stroke, bypassing a long-standing ban on covering weight-loss medications. Dr. Jen Ashton and Christine Romans discuss the safety data of GLP-1 drugs, noting that while the monthly cost is approximately $1,300, insurers are weighing these costs against the long-term medical risks of obesity.

medicare· wegovy· ozempic· fda· heart disease· obesity

06:37 Not even four days between our last show, even the show prep. So three days between the last show and today it's already happening I'm going to play a one minute redux clip of Dr. Jen, America's favorite doctor remember the reason you need to take Ozempic or any other GLP-1 drug is because the risks...I mean you've got to think for yourself is there risk of taking it? Less or more than the risk of not taking it. People often don't realize that these were first FDA approved in the United States for help in managing type 2 diabetes almost 20 years ago, so we have extensive safety and efficacy data they have a good track record however when you talk about risks I think you need to ask four questions what are the risks of taking these drugs

07:33 versus what are the risks of not taking these drugs, what are the benefits of taking these drugs and what are the benefits of not taking these drugs. We know conclusively that if you do not treat or manage the conditions of overweight or obesity the risks are significant, increased risk of heart attacks, strokes various types of cancer. That has to be part of this decision making analysis so take a very rare potential risk or side effect of this class of medication but if a risk is noted to occur one out of every hundred thousand times that's rare that's one case but if all of sudden a million people are on that drug you're going to see that rare risk or side effect

08:16 10 times. And to quote my favorite comedian, George Carlin... The fix is in! The game is rigged folks Because here we go! Millions of Americans may soon have more access to a popular and expensive drug for weight loss. Medicare says its plans can cover Wigovi, but only for certain patients NBC senior business correspondent is Christine Romans Of course Notice the business correspondent not a doctor He is here with more Christine good to see you Good morning How many Americans could this Morning Affect in the future? It's fair to say millions This could be millions of Americans You have 65 million Americans who are on Medicare

08:52 And for people who have heart disease, risk of stroke their doctors can now prescribe this important drug to help them reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke and other serious cardiovascular disease. So this is really a game changer for public health. Medicare is not allowed by law to cover weight loss because of the fen-fen scandal 20 years ago. But it can now cover it for heart disease, which of course goes along with obesity 70% Americans suffer from being overweight or obesity so this is a big big population people. So what if you do want to get covered for weight loss? Is that just out of the question? Is that on the table people are thinking about? It's still out of the question You have to talk your doctor about whether you are at higher risk for heart disease because

09:37 of your obesity. Right, right? So that's really important here but there is also the problem with how much it costs if you don't have this prescription I mean its $1300 for one package which lasts a month. Its $16000 for a year supply but these insurers now Mostly they mimic what Medicare does. So other insurers may start covering this as well, but here's the thing we know that being overweight is very expensive in terms of your lifetime of medical risks so insurers now have to start weighing whether it's really important to get more people these drugs or who can tolerate it so that they can prevent other kinds of health problems down the road. And potentially bring down costs, absolutely. The blunt impact is going to be huge for a lot of Americans. Thanks Christine! Great! Bring down costs yes, bring down costs. Stop. Yes it's already over. Oh, oh... So did you notice that little term in there? I noticed several which one did you want? Tolerate. Oh yeah because they're puking when you take this stuff

CHAPTER 05 / 50 Discussion

Economic Impact of Mass GLP-1 Drug Adoption

The potential financial burden of 65 million Medicare recipients accessing expensive GLP-1 drugs is estimated to reach hundreds of billions of dollars annually. Concerns are raised that these costs will bankrupt the healthcare system, especially following Oprah Winfrey's recent television special promoting the medications.

medicare· obesity· pharmaceutical costs· oprah winfrey· stock market

10:37 But here's, let's do some... you're bumping. Let's do the back of the envelope No I didn't actually, if i explain what that was then It's annoying. I've been trying to fix it. Let's agree on a code, I heard something went bump in the night John! I don't know what it was but it came from your end of the connection Yeah I wish you would see...I'm trying to make it happen again and won't. That's weird. let's do some back-of-the-envelope stuff here they said 65 million Americans are on Medicare let's just say the average amount of people who were obese therefore which

11:12 Can be all of them. Well now it's 60% is what they're saying Okay, so let's just take let's just do the math. Let's do 30 30 million times 16 thousand a year A year What is 35 times? 16 to 35 million well It's thirty five million time million 16 thousand yeah I said isn't the billions high billions hundreds of billions Yeah It's ridiculous. And let's stop for a second, who is paying that money? You and me brother the podcasters of the world are so if...and there's no mention of well if you go on if you can tolerate the drug then you actually have to learn how to control your intake

12:03 I.e., what you, I don't care if you have, if your brain set points as you gotta eat a lot, don't eat processed crap! This is going to bankrupt us! Good job Oprah and we only had one day, we should've bought stocks right away!" We knew it was gonna happen. I had no idea what's gonna happen two days after her special. Boom, there it is. Congratulations would go to you. That was the idea wasn't it? Yeah but two days! No one had time to even consider the stock buy But this is an outrage. It's an outrage! I could have sold calls, I don't know something like that You can still buy a call and probably win her These things don't shoot up like a rocket or sometimes they do There is an upside This is very interesting Women who are on birth control And then go on the Ozempics Or any other GLP-1 drug Apparently they are getting pregnant

CHAPTER 06 / 50 Discussion

Ozempic Babies and Birth Control Interference

Reports indicate that women using GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic are experiencing unexpected pregnancies, even while on birth control. The medication appears to counteract the effects of oral contraceptives, leading to a phenomenon dubbed "Ozempic babies."

ozempic· glp-1· birth control· pregnancy· fertility

13:05 Because this GLP-1 counteracts the effects of... Oh, I did not know this. Yeah it's a big story! It's a big story now so you might be able to see this as an upside Now of course the minute you get pregnant you should stop taking these drugs immediately For obvious reasons. Yeah, but you're supposed to take it for life! But you know... So is there a double-edged sword? To say the least? A catch 22 as they like to say? They had this regulation, this law that said the government couldn't pay for weight loss drugs because of fen-phen but I guess that doesn't matter now. Well yeah, Dave, I think that's been reversed engineered

CHAPTER 07 / 50 Discussion

Federal Spending Bill and Mike Johnson Ouster Threat

Speaker Mike Johnson faces a motion to vacate filed by Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene after passing a $1.2 trillion federal spending package with Democratic support. The bill, which exceeds 200,000 words, includes funding for 2,000 new Border Patrol agents and 8,000 detention beds, though critics argue the money is primarily directed toward processing migrants rather than securing the border.

mike johnson· marjorie taylor greene· spending bill· border patrol· congress

13:51 Well, it has been reverse engineered because this is not... No. I mean what I say as a reverse engineer is to fen-fen blame it on fen-fen. Well she said...I don't think that was the reason they never liked the idea Okay well that's a good point. I don't know exactly what the law was but um This isn't outrage this isn't because they're not saying uh yeah well The way they get around it or whatever the law was is not, oh you know you're fat. No! no it's because you're at risk of heart disease You are at risk for a stroke Well yeah

14:30 This is going to bankrupt us even further than these nutjobs in Congress who passed $1.2 trillion spending bill of which people are arguing over Marjorie Taylor Greene, oh I'm so mad! Dude it's 800 billion dollars for guns and stuff that blows up no one's even talking about that Oh its 300 million for Ukraine this is an outrage get rid of Mike Janssen Please! This is... We're out of control. We're out of control, I tell you. We're out of control

15:07 Let me play a clip. Tonight, with just hours to spare Speaker Mike Johnson resisting pressure from far right Republicans putting a bill on the House floor to avert a government shutdown The $1.2 trillion package passing... Democrats carrying it across the finish line The bill provides more funding for homeland security health and human services and labor It also included money for 2000 new Border Patrol agents and 8000 detention beds for migrants. Some Republicans demanding more on immigration, we've got to regroup after this and get serious about some real cuts in wasteful spending and securing the border

15:51 When House Republicans torpedoed a border bill, their own party negotiated. It could all now put Speaker Johnson's job in jeopardy Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene calling it a betrayal that Johnson worked with Democrats taking the first step to try to oust him You're calling this a pink slip? A warning sign? The bottom line you want speaker Johnson out Well, I wouldn't have filed a motion to vacate if I didn't. We need a new speaker this is not personal against Mike Johnson he's a very good man and i have respect for him as a person but he is not doing the job. Just months ago Kevin McCarthy was removed as Speaker after he turned to Democrats and Republicans to reach a deal to fund the government The House was paralyzed for 22 days. I don't see how she could possibly think this will benefit anyone or the American people

16:41 The Senate now preparing to work through the night to get that bill passed and avert a government shutdown. As for that push, to try to oust Mike Johnson yet another speaker it's unclear how Republicans plans move forward house is now out on recess for two weeks so everybody's doing their job Marjorie Taylor Greene doing her job let's argue about all of this new speakers meanwhile no one's read this thing I mean i of course downloaded let me start reading oh! It's 1000 pages Oh It's 216,000 words. That breaks down to 5 and a half million dollars per word! These people are crazy! They're spending money we don't have! And what I've found so far...

17:28 I mean the border exactly as we predicted. Oh no, we're just gonna get more people to process people! Yeah there you go... There's money in here i'm sure it's going to go to the international office of migrations oh yeah this billions upon oh 10 million for the task force dedicated to countering the flow of fentanyl well crap man we could get that give that 10 million us He's throwing it away. Just pissing money in the wind, 3.4 billion for custody operations? That's beds! It's all going to go to these bogus non-governmental organizations and it's gonna change nothing. Actually I'm sorry...I'm gonna go into it now and I'm gonna let you do Moscow but I gotta go into this now

CHAPTER 08 / 50 Discussion

El Paso Border Breach and Wage Inflation Strategy

Footage from El Paso shows migrants breaching razor wire and fencing to surrender to Border Patrol agents. An analysis suggests that central banks and bankers encourage mass immigration to suppress wage inflation, which protects bank solvency by allowing for lower interest rates while increasing asset values.

el paso· united nations· wage inflation· central banks· replacement migration

18:23 So, first let's just do a little bit of replacement migration. I said it because that's what the UN document says not the great replacement theory no replacement migration so United Nations document from 2000 it's happening all over the Western world. This happened at the border a couple days ago. Tonight, alarming video from the US-Mexico border. A group of migrants pulling down razor wire breaking through this fencing. A handful of Texas guardsmen pushing them away as they stormed toward the border wall. Sources tell ABC News a group of migrants had been staging in this area in El Paso waiting for Border Patrol agents to arrive

19:10 Within hours, about 500 turning themselves in to Border Patrol agents for processing. The real Red River is the international boundary divide... We don't even need to listen to it so we all heard about it you all saw the footage So now let's go to what's that now the messaging has to come in and before I even start I want to reiterate the note that we got from our insider banking professional advisor to the insiders I'm just going to reiterate this note. The goal is to get wage inflation in check. I heard you connect bankers and mass immigration, I think you're on to something the goal is to get wage inflation and checks so we can go back to irresponsible monetary policy Central banks do not control inflation because it's bad for society they control inflation because it's terrible for banks You can't lend money at an interest rate that is lower than inflation or you will go bankrupt

20:10 but interest rates also can't go up. Everyone is so indebted from 20 years of near zero interest rates, raising them will drive a wave of defaults and banking collapses. What kind of inflation is bad for banks? Well asset inflation is good for banks because it increases their investments and also strengthens the value of the collateral held against loans. Wage inflation is what banks worry about. So mass immigration Assets go up, wages go down. Bill Maher had two people from Texas on his show. Beto

20:46 Beto the globalist, loser and this woman Sarah Isgar a podcaster both. Oh no! I mean of all the podcasters in Texas. I pulled a couple clips because they both actually do a great job of explaining exactly what's going to happen and why but first let's gaslight everybody The Republicans are always saying well the Democrats just want open borders because they want more voters is that completely wrong? It's completely wrong. I mean, the people that they're talking about, the immigrants who are coming in by law cannot vote They're in asylum application purgatory for six years But their kids can Their kids can? That's 18 years down the road You think the Democratic Party is able to plan 18 years down the road on anything? I don't buy that

21:40 It really is. There's a real serious dynamic to this and really dangerous one, this replacement theory that is trafficked by those who are talking about Democrats bringing immigrants in right to take the state or the country over politically our governor traffic's in that or lieutenant governor And there was a guy in 2019 who came to El Paso and he posted before he walked into Walmart, I've come to repel the Hispanic invasion of Texas. Goes into that Walmart and slaughters 23 people because he believed what Donald Trump and Greg Abbott all these people were telling him. He was afraid that he was going to lose his power and this invasion was really gonna take over the state

22:19 Now Beto may be a douche, but he's not stupid. He is using very tricky words here Our governor traffics in this, traffics in these theories And let's all think that those guys are talking about the voter base Yeah it's all about the voter base and you know lets remind everybody who we really are. So I would love to see my party standing up and reminding this country who we are in the first place, where a country of immigrants asylum seekers and refugees that has made us the leading superpower in the world. And we won't be able to maintain that status without welcoming more remember Beto's in-law family is super rich. I'd say of the banker clique or people do get one quick question you by the way you're immigrant you

23:05 Am I an immigrant? Yeah. No, are you? Well no i'm not so is everyone who do how many people you know that are immigrants it's a nation of immigrants makes the implication that every single person's an immigrant if it's a nation of immigrants and asylum seekers So that's just a blatant lie. need to run drugs anymore. They run humans, $10,000 a pop and you get three tries at the border." Uh excuse me lady if you think that running people is more profitable than drugs... You are an idiot!

24:00 Drugs is way more profitable than trafficking people. So she's now, and she supposed to be the conservative here, she's now gaslighting everybody all know they've given up on drugs pay attention to the fentanyl addicts they've given up on drug just people don't need to run drugs anymore they were on humans $10,000 a pop and you get three tries at the border there running small children then leaving them in the desert when I get inconvenience And then some of those children, they're ending up in places for sex trafficking and child labor and agriculture. We are funding these cartels that are then corrupting the countries from where these people are trying to flee from. We set up the worst system that we could possibly have for immigration. It is a crisis to not actually have a border

CHAPTER 09 / 50 Discussion

Bill Maher, Beto O'Rourke, and the Cotton Gin

Beto O'Rourke and Sarah Isgar appeared on Bill Maher's program to discuss the 9 million unfilled jobs in the United States and the need for legal pathways for migrants. O'Rourke cited a Texas cotton gin owner who claimed no native-born citizens are willing to do the work regardless of pay, leading to accusations that the political class is seeking low-wage labor similar to historical slavery.

bill maher· beto o'rourke· sarah isgar· asylum· labor market

24:47 Okay, so what's happening here is they're both on the same team. You'd expect Bill Maher to have some opposing opinions but these two... Really? They're tag- just let me go. They're tag teaming and now Beto is gonna launch a couple of memes The one we already know is the legal pathways. We don't have a border problem, we have a legal pathway problem! So what's the fix? We need more legal pathways to come to this country and Sarah is 100% correct only Congress can do that. The president has done about almost everything that he can. This DHS appropriations bill that passed the house today

25:25 It now, over the course of Biden's presidency has doubled border patrol spending which is five times greater than what it was 20 years ago. He's added sections of wall he's deported more people than President Trump ever did that alone is not going to get it done you need ways for people to come here and work the nine million jobs they haven't filled to join family to flee persecution and do it legally. Here's the new meme. Listen for this, there are 9 million jobs we've got to fill. Nine million jobs! Which is very close to the 10 million people you're bringing in. Nine million jobs we've got to fill. Well what about those jobs Belle? Part of the problem here is the asylum system We have this giant magnet You know after World War II we were very understandably and

26:14 Correctly embarrassed by what we did about Jews seeking asylum from Germany. And this is interesting bring in the Jews This is how this is how it's because of the Jews that we have this asylum system now because were very embarrassed when We didn't let Anne Frank come in Europe up. And so we have this asylum law where if you get to the United States, we are going Only Congress can fix, the president cannot fix that. And as long as that's the rule to get here and you can stay, as long as you say the magic words I have a credible fear of returning to my country- Right. We're not gonna fix the border. Because it's the only way- Now here comes Beto!

27:02 There are people applying for asylum who should not, but it's because we've capped quotas from countries. We don't really have a guest worker program to speak of that there are people who want to come here to do jobs that nobody born in this country is willing to do 9 million of them unfilled I bet if we paid them more they'd be willing too It's possible and and we could try that but i've talked to cotton gin owners in Texas and they say So hold on a second She so he says no there's jobs 9 million jobs in this country that people don't want to do They don't want to do these nasty jobs. She pipes in and says I bet if we paid him higher wages oops That's the opposite of the idea is gar lady, and then he says oh

27:42 Oh no, I've talked to the cotton j- literally! We want slaves! that nobody born in this country is willing to do. Nine million of them unfilled- I bet if we paid them more, they'd be willing to? It's possible and we could try that but I've talked to cotton gin owners in Texas and they say it doesn't matter what I pay someone no one born in Roscoe Cotton Gin owner? Is willing to do this. Yeah! We're still using the cotton gin? We're still using cotton gin. We're still ginning cotton. Wow But you gotta create more legal pathways

CHAPTER 10 / 50 Discussion

Chicago Union Demands for Migrant Work Permits

Union activists and hospitality workers in Chicago held a rally demanding that President Joe Biden use executive action to grant work permits to all undocumented immigrants. Critics argue that unions supporting such measures are undermining their own members by facilitating a surplus of labor intended to lower national wages.

chicago· work permits· labor unions· joe biden· hospitality workers

28:23 So Beto is saying we need slaves to run the cotton gin, which of course is exactly what he's... Oh raise wages? Well that might work. We could try it but really we need slave for the cotton gin and then here's the kicker where Isgar just nails at home I hate political antics I really do. The busing was a political antic, but boy sure makes a big difference when all of the sudden Chicago and Boston and New York suddenly notice that we have a migrant problem? Right no shit! Yeah that's right and that's exactly what they did and the result is exactly what they wanted here are the union activists in Chicago over 100 people gathered at chicago's federal plaza hoping their chance reach the white house

29:10 So today we are demanding work permits for all. A mix of long-term undocumented workers, dreamers and allies of immigrants held a rally demanding President Joe Biden use executive action to grant work permits not just new arrivals but all undocumented people The narrative is not to take away resources from one another you know putting guns on another but we just feel like it's time and the president has the executive power Organizers say undocumented people in the country don't have a pathway to obtain a work permit. Most of the individuals that are here have been in the United States for over 20, 30 years. Undocumented workers share their stories of difficulties they face in the workplace due to lack of having one. Supporters representing hospitality workers say it's crucial the federal government address this issue. The immigration system is broken

29:57 There is no doubt and we need comprehensive immigration reform to fix it. That's the union lady. What other country do you know where people have to beg you for the right to work? Every single one! Say this is no longer an issue that can be pushed aside for votes if you don't deliver on the work permits and dignity for our community. The Associated Press reports the president also faces pressure from leaders in his own party over the issue of work permits. We urge President Biden, along with you to expand work permits for long term undocumented immigrants proving this will be an issue at the forefront of an election year. Hold on a second. Work permits. You're losing me because of the logic here

30:45 This is that last thing. That was a union person who said that? No, no, no, that wasn't an older person. This is what's happening and falling apart. Who was it? I don't know what her name is. But you heard work permits for all They're just saying, oh no there's all these und- but they're asking the president for an executive order on work permits for all. That's what the union people want and they're there with a sign. The Union is asking for work permits? Yes yes! What kind of a union is this?! Good paying jobs good paying union jobs this is a scam This is exactly what the bankers want If the union is asking

31:29 is in this clip, if the union a union is asking for that just to let every undocumented worker get a work permit. This is not a union that anyone should belong to it's not a union of the workers Union law It was local one Local that's what that's our union I'm sorry. Yeah, this is the hospitality workers of course not the cotton gin no they want them for Hospitality they wanted him for chicken plants They want him for pork plants though yet it definitely won't have been a meatpacking in me pack well It's not even gonna be beef anymore just gonna be repackaged you're just packing more pork from me China

32:12 It's an outrage. But they're doing it, it's gonna happen and the way you do is you send them to Chicago and then Chicago gets all mad! Oh yeah well... You can fix this Work Permits for All It's gonna happen. This it's a foregone conclusion Well, if it's based on the fact that we need to lower wages Yep By screwing the union workers by the way We have to lower wages just to keep inflation and everything in check and keep the machine working correctly Yeah obviously its going to happen because it is designed to happen And once you can work here I'm pretty sure the next step is you can vote here That will happen But

Matt Goodwin on UK Mass Migration Statistics

Professor Matt Goodwin addressed the immigration debate in Westminster, revealing that net migration in the UK has reached 700,000 people annually. He projected that 6.1 million more migrants will arrive over the next 12 years, requiring infrastructure equivalent to five cities the size of Birmingham, while noting that low-skill migration often takes more from the economy than it contributes.

32:53 podcasters, controlled opportunists stop for a second with the military-age men now that come in here to take your jobs you morons. Come in here and take your jobs! Your jobs that's why they're here and is it happening her? No it's happening everywhere this This is Matt Goodwin who spoke at the big immigration debate in Westminster in the United Kingdom. Most people out there who are not in this debate tonight think that net migration levels are 70,000 a year they have no idea what's going on Net migration is 700 000 a year over the next 12 years this country is going to change In ways that we can scarcely imagine between my daughter being two

33:37 14 years of age we are going to see another 6.5 million people arrive in Britain, 6.1 million of those because of migration. Immigration is going to represent 92% of all population growth in this country over the next decade We're going to need about five cities the size of Birmingham to accommodate that kind of growth. We're going to be 70 percent on the way to another London You were promised lower controlled, high skill, high wage highly selective migration. You've been given the opposite of that you've been given mass uncontrolled low-skill low wage non selective immigration

34:26 You were told that's going to strengthen our economy. Every single study that has been done on the kind of migration we now have, low-skill migration from outside of Europe shows the same thing It takes more out of the economy than it puts in So this is the same that is happening in The Netherlands and Belgium and Scandinavia In Germany and France Its all the same I mean, hey, I'd be the last guy to say I don't want a Haitian cooking for me and a guy for the garden for cheap. That would be great! Unfortunately this lowers all wages and you can't... Yeah if you're living with 10 people in one apartment which is what these people are forced to do yeah that works but if you're living by the standards that we hope our kids will live at it's not going to work because of the money printing see previous topic

Kara Swisher's Burn Book and Bill Maher Interview

Kara Swisher appeared on Bill Maher's show to promote her new memoir, "Burn Book," which features insults from tech figures like Elon Musk on its back cover. The interview was noted for Maher's ability to counter Swisher's typical conversational interruptions, specifically her habit of saying "but go ahead."

kara swisher· bill maher· burn book· elon musk· media

35:20 of money we don't have, 1.2 trillion dollars So there you go That's what it is And we just passed a huge package to process them To get more people at the border to process them More beds But oh no 300 million for Ukraine and Mike Johnson has gotta go Let's have that be the topic of discussion for the next two months On a lighter note, Kara Swisher was also on the show. Your protege. She's not my protege and she says so herself! Kara Swisher was on the show promoting her book which is about how people hate her I think? It's called Burn Book? Well you do for sure! No, no, I love her. I love all people

36:17 Well, you love her because she provides material which is money in the bank. I have respect for her. You do? But what's cool about this clip is she does the thing that I do not like about her where she says... She'll interrupt you and say but go ahead! The thing that I had to untrain you from. Well, you accused me of developing it in her Well, she still has it and what's interesting... What's fun about this clip is she's a little too slow for Bill Maher because he turns around and whoops her. It was good Who's gonna not like this? All of them But they like you No They respect you

37:08 No? None of them. Some of them, some of them I think they're scared a little bit I guess That's good Irritated for sure That's the job of media And you know in the back of the book instead of You know you do blurbs on the back of a book I put all the insults They had like Elon your an asshole My voice is so shrill Only dogs can hear me and that my heart is seething with hate So that what Elon thinks of me Which I'm like look in a mirror sir, but He's a complicated guy. Oh okay sure why not well? I mean how about he's just not a complicated guys Just a jerk but go ahead okay

37:55 But so are you. So am I okay well done now, you just debated with yourself and agreed with me Yes, but go ahead what an annoying habit that is cuz it's okay, but go ahead Exactly. Could you bump your mic when you do it? It just... That's okay, but go ahead and then bump your mic. Go ahead. There ya go now! You're not even doing it right now I don't even know how you do it I know what it is, not the mic at all. It's just... but there's the mic Anyway so that is in a nutshell what people should be worried about Is that we just agreed to print up a whole bunch of money we don't have for things that will make our lives worse and all these dildos are in on it Like oh yeah this great, that's good We'll get all of our donors

38:55 We'll get them all cheap labor and I can get a slave out of it myself for my cotton gin. Ridiculous. The cotton gin thing is too funny. He literally brings in slavery, its crazy! I mean, the messaging is all over that guy. He's not as dumb as i thought he was. He knows what he's doing. Beto? Yeah! He just looks dumb. The problem with Beto...he doesn't present well. Yes. He looks like an idiot. Satan's advocate is what he is. And when he was young, he was a juvenile delinquent Well we all have checkered pasts

CHAPTER 13 / 50 Discussion

Crocus City Hall Terrorist Attack in Moscow

A terrorist attack at the Crocus City Hall concert venue in Moscow resulted in at least 133 deaths and hundreds of injuries. While ISIS-K claimed responsibility, Russian President Vladimir Putin suggested the attackers were attempting to flee toward Ukraine, leading to conflicting theories involving the CIA, Ukrainian intelligence, or a potential Russian false flag operation.

moscow· crocus city hall· vladimir putin· isis-k· fsb

39:34 I'm gonna hold my tongue. Well, not your doppelganger. Who? Daryl Hall of Hall & Oates? Josh Danielson! Okay all right so let's now that we have that out of the way let's spin the cycle down and let's talk about the Moscow attacks i believe you have a package I do, I have four clips for the Moscow attacks and it's just they're kind of interesting. You know this is still up in the air what's going on because the latest is they caught you know the guys that they caught trying to escape to Ukraine one of them is a Ukrainian soldier and Putin says he's Ukrainian our CIA says not but our CIA also noticed that was gonna happen they predicted it and didn't know where

40:20 So this whole thing is messed up, but let's start with clip one. Russia is stepping up security after at least 133 people were killed and nearly 200 injured in an attack on a concert hall in Moscow on Friday. The attack, claimed by a group linked to ISIL was the worst in Russia in decades President Vladimir Putin has declared Sunday a national day of mourning Dawson Jabari reports from Moscow You know just this deposit for second what confuses the matter even more Is they just this is Al Jazeera? They said I sold which is an Islamic state in the Levant. They're sticking to it, whether anybody likes it or not! I heard a report that said Daesh which is another one of those names and then we have of course in the US we have ISIS-K... The branding is all over the place for these guys That's because they don't exist anymore this is bogus A scene the morning after one of the worst attacks by an armed group in Russia's recent history

41:22 Emotions are running high as Russians come to terms with what happened, including those who survived. They started to shoot in our direction. They shot people and threw petrol bombs, people were panicking and so scared only now I understand how lucky I am." It is so terrible what's happened here! I really can't comprehend this it is an ugly act of terror they're animals!" Heavy security and checkpoints now surround the suburban area about 20 kilometers northwest of the center of Moscow People have been coming here all day to pay tribute to those who lost their lives in what officials call a terrible tragedy. The task of recovering the dead is expected to continue for the next few days, as will the mourning of the families of victims along with the rest of the country

42:13 President Vladimir Putin has called the attack a bloody and barbaric act, and vowed revenge. We will identify and punish everyone who was behind the terrorist attack who prepared this strike against Russia and its people. Okay... Yeah so this then devolves over time into three theories One, a Ukrainian attack was in Russia. Right? Which I kind of subscribe to Also the other one is that the main operative was the CIA guy and this is a CIA operation... I'll go with the CIA Mossad for 300 Alex

42:55 And then the third option is a false flag that Putin organized. Just like he blew up Nord Stream, yeah that's my favorite! Well no more like when he blew up the apartment complex in the Chechnyan area Which... North Stream is not part of this theory. Let's go with Part 2 No one will be able to sow the poisonous seeds of discord and panic in our multinational society As a president addressed the nation, hundreds of people queued to donate blood at centers in Moscow The FSB security service said four suspects had been arrested while heading to the border with Ukraine and that they had contacts in that country. Ukrainian officials have denied involvement These pictures purportedly show stores of ammunition seized by officials inside the Caracas City Hall, suggesting the attack was planned in advance

43:48 ISIL in Afghanistan has claimed responsibility. Dorsa Jabari, Al Jazeera Moscow Here's a question that I don't think is really being asked to what end this attack? To what end for what reason? The only reason can really be to destabilize the Russian government, to destabilize Putin because he can't keep his people safe That has regime change written all over it a week after he's reelected President or as some would say dictator that they don't talk about who is into regime change? What international organization let me think Catholics in action maybe but let's go with this this analysis which blames the whole thing on Putin

CHAPTER 14 / 50 Discussion

Ukrainian Denial and False Flag Theories

Ukrainian officials, including President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, denied any involvement in the Moscow attack, calling Russian claims "nonsense." Some analysts in Kyiv suggested the event might be a Russian special forces operation intended to justify a new round of military mobilization, drawing parallels to the apartment bombings at the turn of the century used to justify the invasion of Chechnya.

kyiv· volodymyr zelenskyy· fsb· chechnya· false flag

44:41 Well, in his address to the nation President Putin said the alleged attackers were arrested whilst fleeing to Ukraine. Ukraine's president Vladimir Zelensky has accused Putin of trying to shift blame to Kiev for the attack. Instead of addressing Russian citizens Putin was silent for the whole day thinking about how to link it to Ukraine everything is completely predictable. Rob McBride sent us this update from Kyiv Ukrainian officials here have dismissed any claims of a Ukrainian connection to this attack. We've heard from Andriy Yusov, who's a senior representative with military intelligence here calling such claims nonsense that the alleged perpetrators were apprehended as they were approaching the border area

45:28 with Ukraine saying it's the kind of explanation put out by Russian security, the FSB for what he called a zombified Russian population. Making the point that after more than two years of full-scale war that border area on the Russian side is so saturated with roadblocks with soldiers with security that if you were trying to escape such an attack and to stay free then escape the law its' the one place that you would not beheading. We've also heard from the Center for Countering Disinformation, another government body here and other government agency which has gone further by suggesting but without any evidence that this may have been the work of Russian special forces as a so-called false flag operation intimating that Russia has been suspected of conducting such attacks before around about

46:22 the turn of the century. That was as a precursor, they say to the invasion of Chechnya and the reason that security forces of Russia may have orchestrated or be involved in this attack is as a justification for a new round of mobilization. Rob McBride Al Jazeera Keef Now the reason that I would suspect this is not the case at false flag Is that in the false flag in Chechnya The people killed were Chechens, not Russians. Yeah so there's no evidence that Putin and his folk kill their own to create a false flag There is also this... I'm sorry

47:05 I'm also leaning to Ukraine because some reports show that the route back to Ukraine was cleared for these guys to escape as opposed to the commentary made by the Ukrainians. You can't get through there, it's too many people, too many guards, too many robots... Again, I ask you then, what is the point of Ukraine doing this? Like, ha we gotcha don't bomb the crap out of Kiev I mean, what's the point? I don't know. Maybe in clip four we'll learn a little more and then we can discuss it. I think that this is a huge security failure also because of the audacity of the attack, the number of casualties which keeps growing and this big fire which engulfed the place. Also apparently there were not many policemen there it took them quite some time to get there sort of the security structures and that is also quite astonishing because this is a very big

48:15 place where people were gathering, so one would have expected some kind of police deployment if only for internal security reasons. So it is very embarrassing and what is very sad is that the Russians are using this to build a connection with Ukraine. So I fear, very much fear that Ukrainians are going to see massive attacks and massive sort of bombardments or something of that kind coming from Russia although i don't think they have any connection whatsoever but this insinuation that the Ukrainians are somehow behind you know helps Putin to sort of divert

CHAPTER 15 / 50 Discussion

US Intelligence Duty-to-Warn and Putin's Rejection

The U.S. State Department issued a public warning weeks before the Moscow attack regarding potential extremist targeting of large gatherings and concerts. Former CIA Director John Brennan explained the "duty-to-warn" protocol, while Vladimir Putin had previously dismissed the American warnings as "blackmail" intended to destabilize Russian society.

state department· john brennan· kremlin· duty-to-warn· concert security

48:57 attention, because where would he attack otherwise? I mean it's not going to start bombing Afghanistan. You know the problem I have and it's interesting because I remember a couple of weeks ago, I remember there was...I was just looking for it now and of course I didn't clip it cause I wasn't thinking about it that way. I remember a warning went out from the State Department that said American travelers, also embassy workers or whatever else it was. Be careful terrorist attacks being planned in Russia particularly large gatherings and concerts oops that that was a little irritating and then when you when you have MSNBC and before we start to discuss it I'll play two clips here We have MSNBC bringing on John Brennan

49:52 You've got to wonder. Putin had a warning, right? That even the United States said hey look this could potentially happen you're in danger etc etc By the way that warning was just the public State Department warning it wasn't like a secret phone call to the Kremlin it was a public warning Just for the uninformed and uninitiated, we are on the opposite side of Russia. We are defending Ukraine. The Russian Federation— Gee, thanks douche! I was so uninformed that they were like wow just for the uninformed? Just so you know, we're not with the Russians! We are on the opposite side of Russia. We are defending Ukraine. The Russian Federation is still considered a problem. There's no issue there's no question there unless you happen to be a certain kind of Republican

50:39 What is the incentive? What was the incentive of the United States to give warnings on terrorist attacks like this, to Putin's government and and the fact that this came true. Does it in any way thaw relations or are there any sort of undercover thank yous that are occurring or do the Russians just sort of ignore this and say well you warned us about something but that just makes you suspicious in our eyes? The US intelligence community takes very seriously its responsibility that's called duty-to-warn If the US intelligence gets information about planned terrorist attacks against targets around the world, and it's credible. It's reliable and specific, especially if it is specific which this was we will share that information with the foreign services to security and intelligence services

51:25 And clearly there was some significant specificity to this when there was reference to concert halls and incoming days. So, the timing of this warning I think was very much on target in terms of what happened here." Some could call it an incredible coincidence but we just... It was on target! Putin by the way doesn't take it that way. This is the BBC. A couple weeks ago there were warnings from the West, from the US that extremists could be planning attacks in Russia on large gatherings including concerts. Yes Vladimir Putin openly rejected that he dismissed it He called it blackmail which is an unusual choice of word I don't quite know what he meant

CHAPTER 16 / 50 Discussion

Sergei Markov and Russian Media Skepticism of ISIS

Sergei Markov, a former member of the Russian Parliament, dismissed the ISIS claim of responsibility as "fake news" organized by resources close to Ukraine. Despite the U.S. government labeling the ISIS-K claim as credible, Russian officials maintain that the attackers used flammable liquids and automatic weapons in a coordinated effort linked to Kyiv.

sergei markov· united russia party· fake news· telegram· isis

52:07 Didn't quite know what he meant. Yeah, you do! Come on I'm a podcaster even I can figure that out You're trying to...you're like hey if i don't do something that you want me to do are you gonna cause some event at a concert? It's that simple Then we have ISIS This is a good clip from the BBC. It's fake news! It wasn't the Islamic State, no! Sergei Markov is a former member of parliament for Vladimir Putin's United Russia Party and a supporter of the president Julian Warricker asked him for his reaction to the attack

52:45 I visited this Krokos city hall many times and it was a great, very big trade center. One of the biggest in Russia or Europe I think And also I visited few times this concert hall and of course there is very big tragedy Thank you, speaking in Russia here absolute majority of the people strongly believe that this terrorist attack had been organized by Ukrainian regime and also some rumors and information from American intelligence services saying it's Islamic State but it is very difficult to believe with this version. Well let me just go there for a moment if I may because the Islamic State group has claimed it carried out the attack but your saying... No no no!

53:32 Well, that's what they've claimed. No no no it is wrong information. It was fake news organized from the resources close to Ukraine that Islamic State claims that they take responsibility. No and their official resources this said but this also old formula had been used by Islamic state you know a few years ago have been used for these fake news I love it when he says, a fake news. And then he starts over modulating is really upset about this no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no

54:26 Maybe it's in this one. This is the CBC, Canadian avians We heard from the Russian investor to give committee and as well as giving an update on the number of those killed which we're told included three children It said the attackers used flammable liquid to set fire two sections of the concert hall last night that automatic weapons were used in the attack and that the ammunition left behind at the scene is now undergoing ballistic genetic and fingerprint examination. Now, ISIS has claimed responsibility for the attack. The United States says that claim is credible

55:06 And earlier this month, the White House said it had warned Russia of a potential attack in Moscow that extremists had imminent plans to target large gatherings in the city including concerts. And as a result, the U.S. State Department advised Americans there to stay away from large gatherings But those warnings appear to have been dismissed by Russian officials, with Putin even describing them as open blackmail and an attempt to scare and destabilise Russian society. Security in Russia has now been tightened in response to the attack – Russia's worst in 20 years. Tomorrow a day of mourning will be observed to remember the scores of people who were killed

CHAPTER 17 / 50 Discussion

Zelenskyy's Response to Putin's Allegations

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reacted to Vladimir Putin's televised address by accusing the Russian leader of predictably shifting blame to others instead of addressing his own citizens' security concerns. Zelenskyy argued that Putin remained silent for a full day after the attack specifically to craft a narrative linking the events to Ukraine.

volodymyr zelenskyy· vladimir putin· talking points· moscow attack· blame

55:54 Endangered I didn't label it which would have so many of these reports, but um. I can't go with Ukraine I've got to say that this is This is a typical destabilization operation and You know and if anything we've got to rekindle that Ukraine stuff a little bit We need Putin to get mad when he people there did not like him this has us written all over it I don't like saying it But I just don't see How, what you, Ukraine's no. I just don't see that." I can see you got a coked up guy running Ukraine, the guy is out of control, Zelensky and

56:38 Yeah, I can see him saying let's- could we do this? Yeah. I think so we can make a way for the get back We can do it and escape. You know just nutball cocaine dreamed He is not in control of anything he's an actor! He is just reading his lines Well I agree with that unfortunately but he does have some He definitely knows how to collect money. Well, let's see what he had to say. Ukraine's president has reacted angrily to Vladimir Putin claims that Kiev was involved in a deadly shooting and bomb attack at a concert hall near Moscow on Friday as we record this podcast the number of dead stands up 133 Russia says it's arrested all three gunmen who stormed the Krokus City Hall along with seven other people

57:23 In a televised address, Russia's president claimed the gunmen had help from Ukraine and were heading there when captured. Despite the Islamic State group saying it carried out the shooting in the past few hours Vladimir Zelensky has responded saying Moscow is predictably seeking to divert blame. What happened on Friday in Moscow, it's obvious that both Russian President Vladimir Putin and his gang are trying to shift responsibility onto someone else. They always use the same methods!

58:00 It's already happened. Instead of dealing with his Russian citizens and addressing their concerns, Putin was silent for the whole day thinking about how to link the events to Ukraine. Everything he does is completely predictable." That's completely US written talking points! Well, this idea of being silent for a whole day seems like a positive thing not a negative thing where you jump the gun and just start yammering. But but the whole point of Zelensky saying he's not, you know is calming his Russian people... This is a destabilization action clearly and I can only point towards douchebags who are running the show and it's probably be out-of-control intelligence community

CHAPTER 18 / 50 Discussion

EU Seizure of Russian Assets for Ukraine Aid

European Union leaders, led by Ursula von der Leyen, have agreed to use interest earned from frozen Russian central bank assets to purchase weapons for Ukraine. Additionally, the EU Commission proposed tariffs on Russian and Belarusian grain to reduce Moscow's revenues, despite these exports representing only one percent of the EU market.

ursula von der leyen· european union· g7· russian central bank· tariffs

58:48 And it also obfuscates one other little thing that took place. Coming into this summit EU leaders had to deliver additional support for Ukraine and more pain for Russia, so for Kiev they agreed to buy more weapons using interest earned from Russian central bank assets frozen in Europe But the Kremlin has been sending threats over this decision. The Commission and Council presidents were asked if they feared Russia's retaliation. So, now this is interesting because now we're going to hear all the nutjobs from the EU who are stealing the money, stealing it and then pretending that giving it to Ukraine but know there they're going to give it to us to our military industrial base as its now called

59:36 90% of it and uh... and that's just fine that's just that's just exactly what we should do queen ursula and uh... the other guy so we are not intimidated by a barbershop inside we are making decisions to support ukraine into work it would hold onto russia into sanctioned uh... rush hour if you can use this fact but uh... the revenues for this was a bit of those who said will be used unfairly Ukraine for the agreement was done as he seemed offices rule of aggression most men were launched by russia so its fair that we take Russia's money and give it to American defense companies. That's fair! It's fair!" We did the move because we are convinced that is the right way to go, Russia has to pay for what it is doing in Ukraine

1:00:22 Ukraine and it's fully aligned with the development of our G7 partners. Oh! To increase pressure on Moscow, the commission proposed tariffs... Notice she didn't say NATO she said our g7 partners I thought that was interesting Fully aligned with the development of our G7 partners To increase pressure on Moscow, the Commission proposed tariffs on its grain. It said Russia exported agri-products worth 1.3 billion euros to the EU last year – that's about one percent of the block's market. We do not want Russia to have any kind of revenues from the EU agrifood market for example the grain market so putting tariffs on Belarusian and Russian grain is

1:01:11 is taking away their competitiveness. Belarus is in between Russia and Ukraine. So now these people are getting screwed in this deal too! This move makes clear that we do not want Russian grain or Belorussian grain on the EU market, but transit is still possible... But traders say this is mostly symbolic because Russian and Belorussian exports to the EU are low especially compared to those from Ukraine which farmers in Europe have been protesting against for months

CHAPTER 19 / 50 Discussion

Polish Farmer Protests and Italian Wheat Market

Protests by 70,000 Polish farmers have pressured the EU to reconsider allowing Ukrainian grain into the bloc. Meanwhile, in Italy, the market has been flooded with Russian Durham wheat, which has collapsed local wheat prices but significantly lowered the cost of pasta for consumers.

poland· italy· durham wheat· pasta· farmer protests

1:01:55 is causing tensions and member states France and Poland want the EU to stop allowing Ukrainian grain into the block in order to appease angry farmers. Yeah, this is a beautiful little thing they've done here on the sideline you see it let's stop more grain from coming in so we can up the... Guys! We need Ukrainian grains sorry sorry 70 thousand protesting Polish farmers Sorry Sorry No It's just not gonna happen We won't know, of course what really happened here for a while. I do have Scott Ritter with Judge Knapp if you're interested. Before you go to Scott let me mention that there's been a lot of reports out of Italy

1:02:42 which has been the target of the Russian grain exports, which are not included in the other sanctions. And they've flooded at the Italian market with Durham wheat for pasta making. Oh and all the other locals in particular that's it's collapsed the price of wheat in Italy but made pasta really cheap. I guess that's kind of good. But nobody talks about that in this discussion, that's weird. Now is it though? Is it weird? No none of its weird because this is all

CHAPTER 20 / 50 Discussion

Scott Ritter on NATO Arms Race and Pentagon Audits

Military analyst Scott Ritter argues that NATO's attempt to engage Russia in an arms race is failing because Russia's defense industry is currently outproducing the West. Ritter highlights massive cost overruns in U.S. programs, such as the trillion-dollar replacement for the Minuteman III missile, and notes that the Pentagon has failed multiple audits involving over a trillion dollars in unaccounted assets.

scott ritter· nato· pentagon· minuteman iii· defense industry

1:03:21 This is all schemed and all we're doing is picking at the morsels. I'm gonna shoot you in the face with my noodle gun, you racist piece of shit! There we go, pasta glock. I got my pasta glock locked and loaded Let's go to Scott Ritter. He does know some things and let's see what he had to say there with Judge Knapp on judging freedom. We never thought the Russians could do what they're doing, right? We thought by sanctioning Russia that they would collapse So what's happened now is that we've sanctioned Russia and Russia hasn't collapsed. Russia has built this, you know, assembled this vibrant defense industry that's outproducing all of NATO and producing good weapons. The Russians are now

1:04:11 I love the people, you know. NATO is expanding we brought in Finland we brought in Sweden the Russians went that's all right we're going to create 14 new divisions dozens of new brigades and checkmate but see the Russians have a system they can do that now and so now what we're doing is to justify what we've done people are saying well we have a new strategy and then as we're gonna try and repeat What happened in the 1970s and 80's where we got into an arms race with the Russians, And we bankrupted them. We got them to spin themselves into oblivion But that is not happening You know what going to happen? Who is gonna spin himself into oblivion? United States and NATO Because Russia so far ahead of us right now, we have to play catch up I love Ritter man Yeah he funny I've got one more clip from him The European countries are talking about going to a war footing

1:05:01 to catch up. America is looking at a revitalized Russian strategic nuclear force and we go everything they got outclasses what we have so we have to get new submarines, new ICBMs you know new bombers Congress, just so people understand the replacement missile for the Minuteman III. The ground based deterrence system or whatever they call it. The United States Air Force is going to cost you a couple hundred billion dollars that's a lot of money by the way but it just got through its first funding review benchmarked by law and by law if

1:05:38 Early on in these programs, if you're already like 12 percent over Congress has to call a halt and review it. Otherwise you're heading down the path where what should have been 100 million dollar fighter becomes a twelve billion dollar fighter. Right? They were 22 percent over already I'm telling the American people right now this ballistic missile that we want to replace the Minuteman three with is going to cost over a trillion dollars. And here's the thing it isn't going to work The bomber that we're going to get to replace the B-2 is going to cost far more than they say it's gonna cost, and it isn't gonna work the way we want it to. What you've just described as an extraordinary monumental catastrophic waste

1:06:21 Judge, you know the Pentagon has run multiple audits and they've admitted themselves that you know There's a trillion. That's where the T dollars over a trillion dollars worth of stuff They just don't know what happened to it. Yeah. Oh yeah well okay so give them more give them more more More more more if you have kids who are out of school and looking for a job, they better be looking in the defense industry. That's our business now. Pharma or Defense? Let's go back to MSNBC because they're always fun to listen too. What do we know about this group it's called ISIS-K, ISIS Khorasan which has claimed responsibility

CHAPTER 21 / 50 Discussion

ISIS-K Origins and the Rock Band Picnic

ISIS-K, founded in 2015 by extremist former members of the Taliban, is identified as the group behind the Moscow attack and the 2021 Kabul airport bombing. The target of the Moscow attack was a concert by the veteran rock band Picnic, which had been banned in Ukraine since 2016 for performing in Crimea.

isis-k· taliban· kabul airport· picnic· crimea

1:07:04 Yeah, actually we know quite a bit Ali. They've left a trail of destruction over the past few years with huge attacks A little bit like what we saw yesterday in Moscow Now the group was founded back in 2015 In Afghanistan by former members of the Taliban for whom that group was not extreme enough They thought the Taliban was too moderate So this is the same group that attacked Afghans who were trying desperately to leave their country as American troops withdrew back in 2021 You remember that horrendous attack It killed as many as 170 civilians and 13 American servicemen at Kabul's international airport.

1:07:40 And just this year in January, they struck again. This time in Iran and they claimed credit for a huge bombing that killed 84 people at a memorial procession for an Iranian commander and intelligence chief who had been killed by the Americans by a drone A few years earlier. And just like we're seeing with this attack in Moscow there was a similar pattern The U S says that they had warned the Iranians That terrorists were planning something and their warnings were ignored And US intelligence has said that last night's attacks, as you mentioned, that they were indeed related to that warning two weeks ago. That apparently went unheeded. I like MSNBC because they're so obviously a megaphone for the intelligence community with Brennan

1:08:22 I mean, it's so obvious that oh well it's ISIS. It's ISIS-K. But there is skepticism Stephanie Rule favorite of the boys at the Goldman Sachs trading floor? Well what about skepticism around ISIS yes they've claimed responsibility but they did not prove any... They didn't provide any proof of this and the claim did come from an ISIS affiliated news agency on Telegram again not exactly a trusted source That's correct Stephanie. It's not exactly a trusted source they have Executed other tax that taking claim for him some of the accounts that I've seen are remarkably, you know credible in the sense that they do take claim and they do Annotate attacks that happen around the world and take responsibility for it so that's it. That's the source Some dude on telegram Oh Isis come on? I always wonder why telegram is still as an app

1:09:19 That's that's glad the op. That's the reason it said the Op app is what it is. I believe OK, one more from MSNBC. I looked up a little bit about the group that was performing. It was a rock band has been around since the late 70s called Picnic. They actually were banned from performing in the Ukraine since 2016 because they performed in Crimea. Do you think that there was any sort of symbolism to this? You think that not just the venue but band had anything to do with this? Or do you really think, again it's more likely to be ISIS because it doesn't fit the strategy of the Ukrainian army. They should have asked me to answer this question! I can tell you all about The Rock Band Picnic yes indeed... I don't know that's a great question and I don't know the answer. I mean I do know The Band by the way. Oh no I love The Band! Kind of a personal kind of hippie band from

1:10:08 You know, the late 70s early 80s is not a pro Putin kind of group that would be there if I were guesstimating. But I don't know of any particular reason why they would strike their other than the fact that the owner of this complex isn't close to Mr. Putin. So maybe that is one at why they targeted this particular place. Oh goodness gracious! Just filling up the airwaves people Wasting my time I'd like to reclaim some of my time from all this nonsense And in the meantime that was it was quite destructive man. The fire just there wasn't nice-looking building, too Yeah downtown Moscow is is modern looking well That's what's in downtown that thing's pretty much on you know But even when you see shots of Moscow, it's like wow they got some pretty cool buildings with Tucker says you know oh about that

CHAPTER 22 / 50 Discussion

Ola Tunander on Hegemonic Media Discourse

Professor Ola Tunander analyzes the genesis of media terms like "full-scale invasion" and "unprovoked attack," tracing them back to coordinated statements by Dmitry Kuleba, Boris Johnson, and Joe Biden on February 24, 2022. Tunander argues these terms were briefed to officials in advance to establish a specific "hegemonic discourse" from the earliest hours of the conflict.

ola tunander· norway· dmitry kuleba· boris johnson· media machine

1:11:04 Last time I was there it was very Soviet-ish. Oh, the hotel that I stayed in 1988 is closed! It doesn't even exist... I stayed at The Mirror. It's spelled MN backwards NR and that place was known as a place where all the diplomats stayed By the way Tucker was just there. Hmm coincidence? I did pick up a great little... Interesting point nobody has picked up on No of course not I got this clip, which was a nice one. It's from a professor his name is Ola Tunander He is I believe Norwegian and he was speaking at conference called the totalitarian media machine

1:11:59 Yeah, now he's not like that. Yeah well the I've put the of course the link to the full video in The Show notes He's not a great speaker. I had to cut out a lot Because it's not his native tongue But he gives us the genesis of two of our favorite terms one Putin's aggression and And that number one, full-scale invasion. He has the genesis of these two terms How could you succeed to get the media to think in these terms? What happened was that they spoke about a full scale invasion Putin's full scale invasion

1:12:41 That was said by Dmitry Kuleba in the early morning, the 24th of February exactly two years ago. Quoted him and you know if you listen to the news in Norway and probably In other countries that when they start to speak about Ukraine. They start with the full-scale invasion of Ukraine You couldn't mention the Ukraine or the war in Ukraine without saying is a full scale invasion And the same is about unprovoked attack. Where does it come from? Early in the morning, 24th of February

1:13:25 Boris Johnson spoke about Putin's unprovoked attack on Ukraine. And then later in the day, President Biden spoke about Russia's unprovoked attack on Ukraine. It is clear that if you will succeed, you have to create a truth from the very early hours – I mean so-called truth I mean, hegemonic discourse you could say. You have to create it from the very early hours of the event of the war and that was what was done. The day before or one day in a half before he was at the White House

1:14:11 So he met President Biden, he met Secretary Austin. But this means they have briefed him about more or less what to say. Yeah so we need to pay attention to these things that are put into the media at the beginning of the crisis of the event such as ISIS! Unprovoked attack. Well, we picked up on unprovoked attack and full-scale invasion pretty quickly because the unprovoked part is bogus. And I think we've developed that thesis pretty well as anybody. Yeah now that guy goes into it and he says you know this was obviously not true... Yeah well its been analyzed to death the unprovoking part.

CHAPTER 23 / 50 Discussion

Jack Posobiec on US Funding of Ukrainian Terrorism

Jack Posobiec suggests on InfoWars that the U.S. government is desperate to distance itself from the Moscow attack because a proven link to Ukraine would mean Congress is indirectly funding international terrorism. He compares the immediate dismissal of Ukrainian involvement to the rapid blaming of Russia for the Nord Stream pipeline sabotage.

jack posobiec· infowars· nord stream· terrorism· congressional funding

1:15:03 Oh, wow. This is interesting... You know that Jack Presobic guy? Yeah Naval intelligence? Yeah Always on Banyan's War Room? He's there Oh yeah! And can you ever- if your naval intelligence Can you ever not be naval intelligence after that? Well generally that where Woodward came from Oh another fine specimen And so Woodward was naval intelligence and he, who knows what he is working for now but somebody's writing his books because it's not possible to do the books that he does unless you have sources that are deep within the intelligence agencies. Well, he makes an interesting point about Ukraine's involvement in this Russian catastrophe at Crocus

1:15:55 Which is you know, you're your thinking right now that Ukraine was doing this and he has an interesting point about that Well, this is the exact. This is what they do Alex They'll tell you they're gonna attack Russia You've got the US Embassy again coming out two weeks ago And there were people had posted it at the time that this is a very straight usually when the u.s embassy puts out, you know specific responses, the State Department warnings guidance. They'll say situations are destabilizing be careful don't avoid these areas that kind of thing. No this was specific it was specific events it was a specific time frame 48 hours do not go to concerts. It specifically said concerts and specifically said extremists now we're also being told Alex right now that the White House itself is distancing itself

1:16:44 from the attack saying that there's no knowledge of Ukraine or any Ukrainians being involved. I said, wow! That's a very quick investigation that you were able to conduct amazing that you already know exactly what took place as it's currently happening. Just like they blame Russians for Nord Stream Day 1 But Alex, here's the key. The key to this is people need to understand that if the US government must absolutely must distance themselves from this attack because if there is a link to Ukraine in this then that means

1:17:19 The money that the Congress is currently spending going to send up to the Senate, send to the White House for their signature is going to fund attacks like this around the world. Attacks on civilians, attacks on women, attacks on people going to concerts. That means that if this is true, then guess what boys and girls? Then that would mean that the United States was funding terrorism and terrorist attacks around the world. That was InfoWars. Yes, yes You said War Room No I said he's been on War Room Oh I see okay Yeah no this is... Of course it's Info Wars It's where we get all our information from Rarely thank God So man you know there's a lot going on I mean basically...no I would extrapolate differently We used Russia's money that we stole from EuroClear

1:18:20 to fund Ukraine and so indirectly it's Russia's fault. They're funding terrorism, yeah! Well that would be some logic I would expect in one of the back rooms somewhere... It's also very sad you know like are we now what do you think? Are we now in a cold war? Putin hasn't, he says Ukraine but I don't know. It's all dependent on whether Trump gets elected, and I don't even know if that if I'm correct on that Trump could have been co-opted by now we have no idea the whole thing could nothing could change well you take that position generally this is a trump thing is great now because at the last hour at the last hour Hail Mary it's beautiful

Truth Social Merger and DJT Stock Listing

Shareholders approved a merger between Trump Media & Technology Group and a shell company, allowing Truth Social to go public via a SPAC (Special Purpose Acquisition Company). The deal could value Donald Trump's stake at over $3 billion, despite the company generating only $3 million in sales and losing $50 million in the first nine months of last year.

truth social· djt· spac· donald trump· reddit

1:19:18 He needs, you know half a billion dollars. Cash? Oh baby! Donald Trump's social media platform is seeking to merge with a little-known public company that companies shareholders are scheduled to vote on the merger later this morning It's a shell company it was specifically created to merge with Trumps company in markets its called backdoor listing its a way to go public in a different way from a traditional IPO And later this morning, shareholders need to actually approve the merger. The big question is if we're going to see enough shareholders show up to vote? If that goes through though, that would be fantastic news for President Trump. He would own over 50% of the new company. That will...that would be worth over $3 billion dollars. That's three with a B—a huge chunk of change. Okay so

1:20:09 $3 billion, like you said a huge chunk of change. Is Truth Social worth that much? No it is not I mean let's look at the numbers this is the company that only had over three million dollars in sales for the first nine months of last year That's 3 with an M this time and he lost nearly 50 million dollars Nonetheless, the value here is President Trump. Without Trump there is no truth to social. He has millions of supporters and right now a lot of the shareholders in the deal are believed to be Trump's supporters They are true believers they're people who want to support Trump no matter what And they will happily buy those shares How soon will those share start trading?

1:20:45 Well, if the shareholders do approve the deal today it would start trading as a new company by next week. It could be very volatile I'm told but hey it would now be officially called Trump Media and Technology Group with our new stock symbol DJT Donald J Trump This is beautiful! So of course you know this is these reports are really bogative Oh yeah, one thing. It's not called a backdoor listing it's a SPAC. It's a SPAC and nobody wants to use that because it's kind of discredited but it still works I have some more clips here And this idea that is worthless or like overvalued at three or six

CHAPTER 25 / 50 Discussion

Reddit IPO and AI Data Licensing

Reddit's recent IPO valued the company at $9.5 billion, with COO Jen Wong emphasizing the platform's "corpus" of 19 years of human conversation as a primary value proposition for training large language models. The company is now licensing this data to third parties for AI development.

reddit· ipo· jen wong· artificial intelligence· data licensing

1:21:27 It overlooks the fact that Reddit, which has never made a nickel even though True Social has made $1 million. Reddit hasn't made a nickel is worth 9.5 billion dollars as of today Let me play the reddit clip I love the artificial revolution not artificial intelligence Value proposition What? That's what she said. One of those buzzwords which I just detest, yes yeah but... Which is what your value proposition for the no agenda show? But wait then she says the artificial revolution She forgets that intelligence word Yeah she combined it with value proposition which makes no sense Chief Operating Officer Jen Wong says the artificial revolution is at the center of Reddit's value proposition Large language models need data

1:22:23 to train on and when you look at Reddit's corpus, 19 years of human experience organized by topic with well in moderation and relevance that's incredibly important to building both a chat capability and the freshness of information so that's an area where we see opportunity. And Reddit's Jen Wong tells Bloomberg the firm is also in the early stages of allowing third parties to license access to data on the platform. Yes, Reddit brings a fresh corpus to the table. A corpse! This is great wow how bad is AI gonna suck if it's built on reddit?

CHAPTER 27 / 50 Discussion

Jeffrey Yass, TikTok, and Trump's Policy Reversal

Billionaire investor Jeffrey Yass, who holds a $33 billion stake in TikTok's parent company ByteDance, is identified as a major donor influencing Republican politics. Following a meeting with Yass and the Club for Growth, Donald Trump reversed his long-standing position on banning TikTok, leading Steve Bannon to suggest the change was motivated by "the Yass coin."

jeffrey yass· tiktok· bytedance· steve bannon· club for growth

1:23:37 Cohen pleaded guilty in 2018 to campaign finance violations and tax evasion. I thought we knew this, but this was...I thought this was already an old story We did know it but hasn't been...we didn't play this clip Artificial intelligence. This is using AI to do legal briefs, it just makes stuff up! Yeah artificial intelligence is a direct insult to God there's no good all right let's go back to MSNBC let's talk about this SPAC that merger between Trump socials parent company and digital world acquisitions was two-and-a-half years in the making but there's a story to be told that provides some important context

1:24:16 to Trump's current situation. It involves TikTok, a conservative PAC and a really rich man named Jeffrey Yass. Yass is the Pennsylvania billionaire owner of the financial firm Sasquahanna International Group He is a conservative mega donor and major investor who has a $33 billion stake in ByteDance the Chinese parent company that owns TikTok keep that in mind Reuters identified Yass as the top donor of this election season, having donated quote more than $46 million to Republican causes so far in the 2024 election cycle. Data from political donations tracker OpenSea.

1:24:55 Secrets shows. Ah, things get deep here! Things get interesting! Yass is a part of this. Yass is also a major donor to the conservative non-profit group Club for Growth it was through club for growth that... By the way if we had a meeting you and I would recommend not using that name Club for growth, it just doesn't sound right. But sounds like you've got a club and you're gonna hit growth in the head with it Like he got a club foot and you need to grow out of this is no good Trump and Yass recently got acquainted

1:25:32 And this is where things began to catch the critics attention. Trump had a falling out with Club for Growth during the 2022 midterms, the two camps split on whom to support in some key races but earlier this year they mended fences with a little help from Yass who was one of the people who reached out to the former president about attending Club for Growth's retreat this year So on March 1st, Donald Trump accepted the invitation and attended the group's retreat in Palm Beach. He even gave a speech at the gathering during which he gave Yass a shout out calling the billionaire quote fantastic then six days later on March 7th Trump suddenly announced that he'd changed his mind about TikTok and came out against banning it

1:26:18 This was a significant reversal, especially considering that in 2020 while he was still president Donald Trump signed an executive order that stated quote the United States must take aggressive action against the owners of TikTok to protect our national security end quote. Steve Bannon who served in the Trump administration suggested that Trump changed his stance for quote the Yass coin. Oh so maybe Because of course, Trump will have a six-month lockup on this reverse IPO, this SPAC deal. If it's worth $3 billion... I mean, this is kind of fun. If it's worth 3 billion his stake so the company's worth 6 billion just the market cap based upon shares and price even if it goes down by half

1:27:08 You know, he can get a collar on that real easy. If I had the money... Here you go! Here's five hundred million. No no no, he could get a collar very easily and again that is what he would do. And this whole thing is a little suspicious Every single Trumper out there is going to start buying the stock? This will be like... What was it? Reddit Yeah, what was that group? The Apes The apes who buy, uh... who make AMC go through the roof. Oh you mean our GameStop? Yeah yeah those guys! Those guys? Yeah those guys. The Philadelphia Inquirer reports quote Jeffrey Yass's firm was the largest institutional shareholder as of December in the company that has merged with Truth Social

CHAPTER 28 / 50 Discussion

Letitia James and the Seizure of Trump Assets

New York Attorney General Letitia James has threatened to seize Donald Trump's properties, including his golf clubs and towers, if he fails to post a nearly half-billion-dollar bond for his civil fraud judgment. While Trump claims to have $500 million in cash, he has not provided proof, and his Truth Social windfall is subject to a six-month lockup period.

letitia james· donald trump· civil fraud· bond· asset seizure

1:27:58 Susquehanna has held the stock in Digital World Acquisitions Corp since the merger between Digital World Acquisition Corp and Trump Media was first announced in October of 2021. Alright, then... Well we know Trump's a negotiator. That's what he claims. This is a sneaky way to get out of everything But they all want him- They all want Letitia James to take his building! This is no fun He can't pull this off at the end All week his lawyers have insisted Donald Trump lacks the cash he needs To secure a bond to cover a nearly half billion dollar civil fraud judgment Tonight Trump is claiming he does He just wants to spend it elsewhere

1:28:38 I currently have almost 500 million dollars in cash, Trump wrote on social media. A substantial amount of which I intended to use in my campaign But Trump hasn't offered any proof he actually has $500 million in cash. He's broke, no evidence! And Trump hasn't put any of his own money into his campaign since 2016. Oh No! The former president has until Monday to post a bond or New York Attorney General Letitia James told us she'll take action If he does not have funds uh...to pay off the judgment then we will seek judgment enforcement mechanisms in court

1:29:20 And we will ask the judge to seize his assets. But tonight, a potentially new... She's so breathy isn't she? I will ask the court to take his assets. She is terrible and this is like... She's breathy! More and more inclined to like uh- I'm not- I've already bought into that idea that Moe brought up which is that this is a, these black women are an outrage and they're gonna be taken down one by one. Oh yeah! Everything they're doing with Trump they put a black person in front you stand there you do it

1:29:57 If it works, great. Yeah black woman in particular? Yeah mainly black women. They got Eric Adams kind of a black woman. To pay off the judgment then we will seek judgment enforcement mechanisms in court and we will ask the judge to seize his assets But tonight a potentially new source of income for Trump Investors voting today to take Trump's struggling social media company public His stake on paper roughly three billion dollars That may sound like a windfall, David. But unless Trump gets special permission from shareholders he cannot convert that stake into cash for six months. That's someone who doesn't know what they're talking about! No everybody doesn't know it. One person has mentioned the potential for buying a collar and that is a very common way that's been done over the last decade or more for these IPO people

CHAPTER 29 / 50 Discussion

David Brooks and Jonathan Capehart on Trump's Liability

On PBS NewsHour, David Brooks and Jonathan Capehart discussed the national security implications of a presidential candidate facing massive financial liabilities. Brooks noted that the Associated Press found no precedent for seizing assets in similar cases without a clear victim, while Capehart argued that seizing Trump's tower would be a tangible sign of accountability.

david brooks· jonathan capehart· pbs newshour· national security· civil fraud

1:30:47 Let's, uh... I hate to do this to you. I did not get these clips it's the Jones conglomerate. I do have a Brooks-Capehart duo. Well this takes a lot of nerve! Hey it's your boy! It's Steve who did this okay? It's your boy with the three... No Steve is playing both sides of the fence he's trying to up... He's trying to leapfrog his brother Here we go. This is Brooks, these are two opposite sides of the spectrum we're told. Brooks and Kay part on PBS News Hour. Meantime Donald Trump needs to find half a billion dollars and he has to find it fairly quickly. He has until Monday to post a bond covering the full amount of the 454 million dollar civil fraud judgment against him

1:31:39 as he appeals this ruling and if he can't somehow find the money, the New York AG Letitia James she might start seizing some of his assets to help cover that obligation. David for any candidate running for public office especially the presidency who is short on cash and who has to find $454 million. That is a serious liability and it also raises, in this case some national security questions. Yeah I mean he...I have a few problems with the seizure there Associated Press did a good survey they looked at 70 years of cases like this And in cases where there was no clear victim, they've never seized assets before. And so if the people who claim a lot of this is political witch hunt—I think that Associated Press— I found it kind of alarming that the Trump case is not being treated like the other cases. Nonetheless, it is what it is. So he's got to raise a lot of money really fast

1:32:32 And can he do it through Truth Social, his very weird online social media outlet? What's weird about it... It's on the market. Suddenly- It's weird! It's struggling! It's failing! It's no good! But Reddit is great with no money! How could it be?! I-it's actually got positive cash flow! My understanding Oh really? Yeah. It is what it is and so he's gotta raise a lot of money really fast And can he do it through Truth Social, his very weird online social media outlet is on the market. Suddenly it wouldn't boost his network $3 billion which is also troubling because in the first nine months of last year made 3.3 million dollars and its valued at three billion so it looks to me like another form a fundraising

1:33:21 disguised as investment and that is already crooked. And then you take what a desperate Donald Trump was likely to do... Wait, that's crooked? It's crooked! But Reddit and all these classic IPOs out of Silicon Valley aren't?! I'm glad we're here to set the record straight. So it looks to me like another form of fundraising Disguised as investment and that is already crooked And then you take what a desperate Donald Trump was likely to do Do what his son-in-law did go to the Saudis and get some money? It just opens up for a desperate Donald Trump all sorts of corrupt possibilities. This is new, the Desperate Donald. We haven't heard this one! It's nice alliteration... I want to mention that i watched this particular back and forth and found it unclipable but okay you may... But okay go ahead And I have to disagree with David

1:34:14 No, take the properties. If any of us at the table were in that situation we would be in serious trouble and you know it would be within the right of the Attorney General to say you know what? We're gonna take your golf club or we're gonna take your tower and quite honestly I would love to see the AG, the New York Attorney General do that because then it would be like the most tangible sign for the nation, the world and for Donald Trump that you have been held accountable. I love it okay I'd love to take your tower. This guy is the worst when he's an editor at The Washington Post he should be ashamed of himself! You took my tower! You sunk my battleship! Take my Tower

1:35:04 That's what they want. Oh man, what a show! What a show! Front row seat once again and how many more months do we have of this nonsense? And if Trump wins the presidency we have another four years We're gonna have to retire after that. That's it After Trump's first or second or whatever term it'll be...We're done Exit. We have to exit I don't think I can do it anymore The media is spinning out. It was easier with COVID and we got more income during COVID than this analysis of the political situation, which is horrible! COVID was better! COVID was better than this nonsense

CHAPTER 30 / 50 Discussion

Sperm Whale "Poonami" Defense Against Orcas

A sperm whale off the coast of Western Australia successfully repelled a pod of 30 orcas by releasing a massive cloud of fecal matter, a rare defense mechanism dubbed a "poonami." Marine biologist Jenna Tucker documented the event, noting that the orcas immediately scattered after the whale used its bowels to ward off the predators.

sperm whale· orcas· australia· jenna tucker· poonami

1:35:51 But to break up the scheme of things, I do have a couple of clips that have not been picked up by any media in the United States. It's from Australia. Oh okay good! And it will be because it is a great story and I guarantee it will be on Gutfeld. Oh boy... Because its such a classic Gutfeld style of something to analyze This is a story about a big sperm whale In Australia being tracked by 30 orcas in a pod as they call them. Orcas are in a pod and there these 30 orcas, and one of them was huge Was gonna get this whale And this is the whale clips let's play clip 1 Now a sperm whale off the coast of Western Australia has used to secret actually a stinky weapon to repel a pot of orcas

1:36:45 The whale released its massive bowels, triggering a poonami which washed over the unsuspecting orcas. Marine biologist Jenna Tucker witnessed the dramatic defense mechanism. I wonder how she's coping now and joins us now from Perth. Good morning! How are you coping? Yeah yeah still processing everything definitely So, is this... I mean how unusual was this? Let's describe it as a defence mechanism. Yeah so there definitely aren't very many recorded accounts of it around the world yeah definitely wasn't expecting to see that kind of thing happen Oh right but stinky but brutally effective right

1:37:35 Yeah, yeah. It actually did seem to work to ward off a group of about 30 killer whales so yes unusual but effective method Right! So this is obviously a cause for great excitement for people who study these mammals and obviously the whole whale world is talking about it Yeah, yeah. An extremely rare event to witness but also to be able to document the way that we could. We have some incredible wildlife photographers on board and yeah just a really significant thing to have been able to record in the detail that we did

1:38:22 Yes, now the she is so shy this woman and she's embarrassed to be talking about this. I have no idea why it's like we're childish. I mean there's 15 year olds in us but these guys like he just keeps going pun after pun after man but so this wraps here with the no more good puns but its Fascinating that the I guess a blast of poop in the faces of 30 orcas they couldn't stand it But they couldn't break rank. I guess because they stay in these pods and so they just scattered They could exist Oh, we're not putting up with this And I'm wondering whether it was just a frightening aspect to being tracked by these killers and maybe that's why you pooped oh

1:39:12 opposed to doing it on purpose but here we go the so-called tsunami last for long which is showing our viewers pictures of it of some whales now ordered it quickly how should we say dissipate it did dissipate reasonably quickly but we We didn't stick around for too long. The orca pretty much moved off straight after that and we followed them to try and get some more clues as to what had sort of gone on there Just looking at the size of sperm whales, I'm guessing the bowels of said sperm whales would be quite huge Yes

1:39:54 and a very strong defence mechanism as a result in terms of the amount of stuff that comes out. Yeah, definitely that and a combination They're really intense bonds and the way they grouped and huddled together just wouldn't break that formation. Fascinating stuff, Jenna and Take in Perth thank you so much for getting up very early to talk about it and we wish you all the best going through how this happened why this happened and perhaps it may happen again with other sperm whales

1:40:30 Yeah, yeah. Thank you so much. Okay I am now banning any more Poonami clips forever! This is this that way...I mean okay one clip sure two? Poonami. Two Poonami clips hmm all right i'm gonna go let's i'm gonna move it into Israel Gaza That should have gotten clip of the day by the way. No, no complaints my goodness this is not in American media at all yet but you watch oh wow yes of course because why do we talk about anything useful? Poonami there you go that's right yeah it's almost as useless as some of the stuff that they put into this spending bill There has been a lot of back and forth around Democrats would call them like culture war

CHAPTER 31 / 50 Discussion

Federal Spending Bill Culture War Provisions

The recently passed federal spending package includes a provision that prohibits the flying of unofficial flags, such as LGBTQ pride flags, at U.S. diplomatic sites and USAID locations. This was framed as a "culture war" victory for Republicans during the budget negotiations.

lgbtq· pride flags· usaid· spending bill· culture war

1:41:18 add-ins to some of these things related to whether it's LGBTQ issues or trans issues. How has that sorted itself out? I mean, what would you point to in this package that Americans should be paying attention too? Yeah, I think it's really interesting if you see the statements as she mentioned and she sees both sides are like this is a Democratic win, Republicans are like this is the Republican win. But no one got everything that they wanted and that's how these things work. I think Johnson has come to terms that you're not gonna get everything in it but what they did get is 24% increase of migrant beds while they're waiting their immigration proceedings or removal from the country. They were able to get the removal of any flags that are not official US flags- Snacks? Like LGBTQ pride flags from USAID

1:42:11 diplomatic sites so that was a win for the culture. So they're outlawing pride flags at US diplomatic sites? Yes, yes. Wait a minute hold on a second why would somebody be putting an LGBTQ whatever it is flag on him on a US Embassy where have you been they do that all the time oh yeah yeah they do it all the time what are we drinking now that you ask Yeah, Phoebe wants to know.

UN Ceasefire Resolution and Houthi Shipping Safety

U.S. Ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield defended a ceasefire resolution that was vetoed by Russia and China, arguing that real ceasefires only happen through negotiations like those occurring in Doha. Meanwhile, Houthi rebels in Yemen have reportedly assured China and Russia that their vessels can safely navigate the Red Sea while they continue to attack other international shipping.

linda thomas-greenfield· united nations· ceasefire· houthis· red sea

1:43:02 a resolution which was vetoed by China and Russia for a ceasefire. So, for once it's not us! In your reading of the resolution because I found it a little bit ambiguous would the cease fire under this resolution go you know be called for whether or not the hostages were at the same time released? Look, Andrea. This is the other black woman who will get blamed for everything she is our ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield What I've said to my colleagues here in the Security Council no ceasefire ever comes about because we call for a ceasefire. Ceasefires happen at

1:43:48 the negotiating table. Anytime, anywhere in the world ceasefires take place based on negotiations and those negotiations are happening right now in Doha where they're still at the table they're still working hard and we're the ones that are there on the ground really doing the hard work Russia is not there. China is not there. They're not providing any options for finding a solution to get us there, they're not providing humanitarian assistance we are still the largest contributor of humanitarian assistance and we have people on the ground working every day to ensure that assistance gets to the people in need this resolution was not ambiguous this resolution was clear it called for ceasefire

1:44:36 I love it. We provide the weapons and then we provide the assistance for the people to argue, it's great! It is a perfect system and oh yes again were paying for it China and Russia? They weren't there in Doha no They were making other deals in the region. Yemen's Houthi rebels have told China and Russia that their ships can pass through the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea safely. The Houthis have been attacking vessels off the Yemeni coast since November, The US and UK launched air strikes on Houthis targets in retaliation Several countries deployed naval forces to protect shipping in trade route

Trump's Rhetoric on Jewish Voters and Evangelicals

Analysts suggest Donald Trump's recent comments regarding Jewish voters are primarily aimed at his evangelical Christian base, who are staunchly pro-Israel for religious reasons. Critics argue that Trump's claim that Jewish Democrats "hate their religion" is anti-semitic and serves to signal his total alignment with Israel to his core supporters.

1:45:24 Earlier this month, three crew members were killed when their ship was hit in a Houthi strike. Well how about that? So if you're Chinese ship or Russian ship no problem! Yeah go right through That is from not from US News by the way of course I saw that story on US news Oh you did Yeah, it's been played. Back to MSNBC let's see we're back to Israel let's find out a way to bring in Trump but I wanted to say something else especially about Jewish voters what he said this week was not directed at them Jewish voters represent a very small percentage of the American electorate they vote heavily in favor of Democrats and they tend

1:46:11 live in heavy blue states. They are not going to swing the election for him, what he said today about this week about Jewish voters was directed at his base is evangelical Christian base who he also needs to bring out to vote in November in order to win and that base is both very very pro-Israel for reasons related to the Christian religion and what they believe will be the second coming of Christ in Israel but they They're also real... Bullshit! Thanks for letting me know. We were just praying about that this morning, let him come to Israel

1:46:48 strands of anti-semitism in that base. And what he said this week basically said you can't be Jewish and you can't be pro Israel if you don't vote for me, that's both anti-semitic and it very much signals to his base that he is all in on Israel and that's a win-win for him Oh goodness gracious. Wow what a roundabout way for saying win-win, didn't sound like it to me! I know so then we go to probably the best...I mean you know with Joe Scarborough from Morning Joe man when those guys get read in when they're told um you know like okay we're gonna pivot we're gonna do this we're gonna change or moving away from that they really go all in and so

CHAPTER 34 / 50 Discussion

Joe Scarborough's Criticism of Benjamin Netanyahu

Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough delivered a sharp critique of Benjamin Netanyahu, accusing him of propping up Hamas for years to prevent a two-state solution. Scarborough argued that Netanyahu's primary motivation for continuing the war in Gaza is to avoid facing his own criminal indictments and potential imprisonment once he leaves power.

joe scarborough· benjamin netanyahu· hamas· gaza· morning joe

1:47:40 Bibi Netanyahu is the worst thing ever. He's worse than a Poonami! Bibi Netanyahu is the problem in the world right now! There is just an extraordinary change of attitudes among Americans under 40, extraordinary And it is anti-Israel. And no, it's not just younger Americans on college campuses It's just about...it is a lot of Americans under 40 And my children have been very, very concerned for their Jewish friends. They've been very, very concerned at how intense it has become. So I'm concerned about that and also very concerned about civilians in Gaza.

1:48:38 This idea that yeah, you want the United States and the world community to do something? To stop an oncoming famine somehow makes you hate Israel There are two words I'd like to say that I can't say on the air. Nobody has been more, and we had Jonathan Greenblatt come up he'll tell you and Jonathan may disagree with me on this issue we'll see but one thing you won't disagree with me on is that yes i've been fighting against anti-semitism my entire adult life since world war II and my entire career in congress and on television crap

1:49:22 I've been really outspoken about it and I'm, at least I'm really concerned. How come we don't know this? Well wait! Wait wait he's now... He's that outspoken Now see now they plug him in turn up his spin cycle to 20. I'm concerned about this. I'm concerned about Benjamin Netanyahu. I'm concerned about the fact that he knew where Hamas was getting its money in 2018. He refused to cut it off. I'm concerned that he sent his government to Doha three weeks before the attacks and said give Hamas more money. I'm concerned that he continued to prop Hamas up, I'm concerned... Talking points are great! ...that Benjamin Netanyahu's government

1:50:02 had Hamas's terrorist plans a year before the terrorist attack. This is like Bibi Netanyahu, he is the worst thing! And they did nothing I'm concerned that Benjamin Netanyahu after the attacks did nothing for six seven eight ten hours. A hundred hours? Days?! They've never seen anything like it It shattered my belief and everything I ever thought about about Israel's ability to defend itself. And by the way, it is not that we have been wrong all these years It is Benjamin Netanyahu who was in charge and he led Israel to that point and I am very concerned that what he continues to do whatever he can do to stay in power because as soon as he is out of power He has got three indictments You might go to jail

1:50:56 Trollum had a good point. What he really wants to say, Bibi Netanyahu is Trump in a yarmulke. So it's very simple equation as long as the war continues Benjamin Netanyahu doesn't have to worry about going to jail. The second the war ends, Benjamin Netanyahu has to worry about going to jail! Are we really going to tie Israel's future up to this man and say if those of us who love Israel? Those of us who were taught in Sunday school when we were five years old that Jews are God's chosen people and Israel is where they need to be, to be protected? Because six million were slaughtered in the Holocaust. Are we not allowed to question Benjamin Netanyahu's motives because if not that's pretty sick and it's not in Israel's best interest.

1:52:00 What kid went to Sunday school at the age of five? He did apparently. There's a 30 second final clip here. But Mika, it is so offensive for Donald Trump to say you can't be a good Jew and vote for Democrats. It's offensive. It's not like saying if you don't vote for me, you're not black people to say You can't be a Zionist and a supporter of Israel And as a porter of Jews in a fighter and defender of Jews and their right to exist where they want to exist Guy sounds like a Jew. Hey Benjamin Netanyahu

UN Chief Guterres Visits Rafah Border Crossing

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres visited the Rafah border crossing, calling the blocked aid trucks and impending famine in Gaza a "moral outrage." In Tel Aviv, thousands of Israelis protested against Netanyahu's handling of the war and demanded a deal to release the remaining 130 hostages held by Hamas.

1:52:42 He does. This guy's full of crap, I got two clips about this. Oh my goodness! Not about that idiot. It is tiring it so tiring Let's go to France 24 and go to aid to Gaza where we have our UN guy in Egypt giving a big speech Time to truly flood Gaza with life-saving aid UN chief Antonio Guterres appeals for ceasefire calling the starvation inside the enclave A moral outrage, Guterres spoke from the Egyptian side of the Rafah border crossing with Gaza. He made his way to the crossing a day after the UN Security Council failed to reach consensus

1:53:21 Thousands of aid trucks are waiting in Egypt's north Sinai province to cross over to those living in desperately poor conditions. Nicholas Rushworth tells us more. The UN Secretary General, Antonio Guterres on a visit to the Egyptian side of the Rafah crossing said it was time to truly flood Gaza with life-saving aid He renewed a call for an immediate ceasefire and said he wanted an ironclad commitment by Israel for total access of humanitarian goods to Gaza. A long line of blocked red relief trucks on one side of the gates, the long shadow of starvation on the other. That is more than tragic it is immoral outrage

1:54:05 The UN's World Food Programme says Gazans are already starving to death, with famine projected by May in the northern part of the Gaza Strip. There are a number of obstacles that the Israeli authorities have maintained that make it very difficult to reach the level of delivery that is necessary. The problem is not how many trucks enter? The problem is how can we distribute Distribute! Get your boot out of my butt. There's a thing that keeps cropping up in all these international reports which is they're starving to death as we speak, but a famine will begin in May Oh is that when it says scheduled?

1:54:49 But this is what it must be because there's like they're starving to death right now. Yes, but a Famine is expected begin in May What was there's a timetable for this sort of thing? And yeah, what is that what's going on now? That's not a famine It's on the media calendar and see what do we have in may guys For me, we've got famine famine scheduled Okay Alright, that's good We got famine from a And then the other thing of course to continue with the anti-Netanyahu op, we have the Tel Aviv protests which I have a clip of. Get them out of hell! Banners and Israeli flags poured out on these streets of Tel Aviv as thousands of people gathered this Saturday demanding an immediate deal to release some 130 Israeli hostages in Gaza as well as new elections in the country

1:55:46 Demonstrators are criticizing the way Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is handling the war against Hamas and demands the government to take responsibility. Netanyahu has vowed to go ahead with the planned offensive in Rafa, dubbed a mistake by the US Secretary of State Antony Blinken. Oh they're all just playing big theater that's all set no one please no one buys this anymore So, you know they've blanketed us with so much Poonami that we don't even know what to care about. You know... Yeah I know, I know, I know There's a show title! I have a... oh sure Poonami and then let's put some cheesecake on the art That's great Umm..I have a supercut from Mayor Adams of New York I'm sure i would love to hear it Everyone knows that

United Airlines Safety Culture and FAA Oversight

The Airline Pilots Association (ALPA) issued a memo warning that United Airlines' safety culture is under attack due to rapid growth and management failures. Following a series of incidents, including a plane losing an external panel, the FAA has increased oversight and restricted United's ability to approve new line check pilots or add new aircraft.

united airlines· faa· airline pilots association· safety culture· boeing

1:56:43 New York City is the Athens of America, is the Istanbul of America. Is the keys of America, the soul of America We are the Tel Aviv of America! New York City is Islamabad of America, the Zabreb of America we are the Lima of America. New York City Mexico City of America. This is the Dublin of America, New York City. Somebody really put a lot of work into that one! Well he needs a new speechwriter. Oh well that's probably true... So United Airlines is under attack and rightfully so I don't know if you received this but I must have received five copies

1:57:29 From something called the United Council, the members of council 150. And it's a very long note. I put it in the show notes, so I'm not going to read the whole thing but I'll just start off here We your elected ALPA that's Airline Pilots Association representatives feel is our unfortunate responsibility It looks like a chat GPT job actually To draw attention to several very concerning items these issues have thus far been inadequately addressed They pertain to the very core nature of our chosen profession This is definitely chat GPT. Simply put, our safety culture is under attack and enough is enough!

1:58:08 We cannot in good conscience continue to wait for our flight operations management team to choose safety over anything else. While their words make for great PR, their actions have not matched those words and have directly led to the unfortunate circumstance in which we presently find ourselves. The United Next growth plan has seen a staggering 30% growth in just a few short years however that growth has come with strings attached it has come hand-in-hand with an orchestrated erosion of our safety culture into it. The FAA has similarly witnessed this and recently stepped in to take substantial action against United Airlines. Cue clip. Increasing oversight of United Airlines, the decision follows a series of incidents including a plane losing an external panel in another plane losing a tire during takeoff

1:58:58 United says the FAA will review work processes, manuals and facilities. The agency will then determine if any changes are needed. The FAA says it is routine for its safety assurance system to monitor an airline's operations We have lost the ability to approve new line check pilots issue type ratings and have regulator imposed restrictions on our ability to operate and grow our airlines this is actually quite bad Well, you can't do your own check rides. This is very bad So I think the dude in a dress might want to reconsider his strategy Well actually a day ago the United Airlines was halted by the FAA saying no new planes for you Yeah No soup for you That's right Where does this leave us? Well for starters it leaves us as pilots under more scrutiny than ever before

1:59:52 We all need to reinvest in our safety culture and do so with vigor. Encourage each other on the flight decks to stop when rushed, Do your best to limit distractions whatever it takes How about this? How about not flying on United anymore? This doesn't sound like a good product or service, I should say. I'd like to know where the board of directors is of the United Airlines to get rid of the CEO! It's obviously the CEO's problem. He's the one who sets the stage for all this stuff that's what you do when your CEO... You don't sit there and it's not- I mean maybe he spent too much time in the makeup room but I mean you don't have to spend all your time concerned about your next dress you wear

During Earth Hour individuals and businesses are encouraged to turn off non-essential lights for one hour from 8 30 p.m.. To 930 p.m.. Local time Climate activists gathered in Nicosia in Cyprus to express their concern about the climate emergency that

2:05:54 For the last 12 years we've turned off the lights on the last Saturday in March to send a message that in one symbolic hour, we can make a real difference to the environment and society for the benefit of people. Our message is that we need to take climate measures to reduce pollution to achieve the goals that Cyprus and the EU have set for the fight against climate change The World Wildlife Fund says giving one hour for the earth can help bring our world back to life. That's funny! Bring it back to life, the world is dead I was...I got that clip before Earth Hour and i went outside to see what would happen at 830 in the San Francisco Bay Area Yeah, the Libtard area of California Nothing No, of course not Who remembers the last Saturday in March?

Climate: The Movie and Global Government

A new documentary titled "Climate: The Movie" features scientists and the co-founder of Greenpeace arguing that climate change data is being manipulated for political control. The film suggests that the narrative of a global climate crisis is being used to justify the creation of a global government and the implementation of strict mandates, such as the EPA's new auto emissions rules.

2:06:53 What's this second clip? I have a five-second clip that says suggestions and i don't remember what this is. It says that that hour can be spent on a range of activities from giving a donation to giving a donation... Oh, it suggests giving a donation to the No Agenda show! Well before we go to that I'm glad you brought The Earth Hour Clip because there is a very good documentary on YouTube, which it makes it even better because is just out there. It's called Climate the Movie. It's about an hour and 15 minutes long I watched the whole thing There was for the for the longtime No Agenda producers nothing new some familiar faces like the co-founder of Greenpeace but what is good is that lays out in some good detail

2:07:47 but very accessible to all. And they have like Harvard guys, Nobel Prize winners, all these people going this is a hoax it's not true they're jacking the charts they're jacking the temperature they're lying that you know look at the geological studies we are actually in an ice age and it is by around 2030 it's gonna start getting cooler which of course shows you why there so crazy about getting it done now. And they all, they all of these intellectual scientists all laugh about the idea that we're going to die because it's two degrees warmer whereas you know the temperature varies five up or five down the median is around one in variance but what they do hammer home

2:08:40 is that this is it's about control and I'm just gonna have to keep hammering on this because, what I like what they all say universally as well if it's a global problem you need a global government to take care of it. And we haven't quite gotten there but we're getting very close and there's so much money involved They, they there's not going to stop. And it is all about control such as Biden's EPA well it's our EPA has just rolled out USA auto mandates forcing EVs to be part two thirds of all passenger vehicles

Tesla Safety Scores and EV Insurance

Tesla has updated its "Safety Score" system to include factors like late-night driving, aggressive turning, and hard braking, which critics view as a creepy form of surveillance. Reports suggest Tesla plans to use this data to launch its own insurance product, while major investment firms like BlackRock continue to push for mass EV adoption despite rising insurance costs and safety concerns.

tesla· elon musk· safety score· insurance· blackrock

2:09:22 Two-thirds, two thirds. They'll be made by China. BYD and NIO out of Mexico and they'll flood our country with them to take out all of our EV makers. Oh yeah! And guess who's the biggest investor in this scam? BlackRock. Yep or Blackstone. No it's BlackRock is what I have Someone's bumping something on your side. It's going to bump it tonight, I don't know why. No, I'm playing with it right now trying to get it to duplicate and that you did. You succeeded! And then here is an example of how this is going... Sir Gene sent this to me Tesla revises late night driving and its effect on safety score. And I was like wow thats interesting What? Yeah so Tesla

2:10:14 tracking your driving, pay attention Tesla drivers. Track your driving and they give you a safety score based upon you know whole bunch of factors like did you have short stops? You know like a slam on the brakes now they've adjusted it they've updated their late night driving to be risk weighted based on driving from 11 p.m. to 4 a.m., previously was 10 p.m.. to 4 a.m.. The impact of late night driving on your safety score will depend on the proportion of time spent driving in each hour between 11 p.m...

2:10:51 and 4 a.m., Tesla uses eight different factors to determine a safety score, forward collision warnings per 1 000 non-autopilot miles hard braking aggressive turning unsafe following excessive speed late night driving forced autopilot disengagement and unbuckled driving." And so I said wow that's really quite creepy I guess they're going to be selling this to the insurance companies who already don't want to insure EVs because, you know, they tend to burn down houses. And Gene informs me oh no! They're going to launch their own insurance. This is your future we need to stop this insanity that... I like aggressive turning

2:11:41 I'm with you on that. It's fun! It's great, doughnuts baby, doughnuts But this is all of this... This is just friendly little Elon. Yeah just Elon he's a good guy No He's not a good guy. He is a shill for this kind of stuff it's not good We cannot let government entities track all of our so-called climate based activities. In this case, it's still a climate based car based on some phony baloney calculation which we've been through I don't remember exactly... you had that at one point how they calculate the actual pollution made by these EVs

2:12:35 What was that again? It was like some something that they snuck. Yeah, it's based on how much waste of energy and resources to make the batteries in the car and the whole thing is complicated Right but its also its complicated for a reason because none if it's true None of its true. No the fact that it cost a lot of money to make an EV not untrue anyway We've got us, I had a rancher out here yesterday from Colorado. Colorado Kraft Beef and it's unbelievable what's happening. This is... we're losing our food supply and we really are!

Texas Panhandle Fires and Food Supply Control

Massive wildfires in the Texas Panhandle have devastated local beef producers, many of whom may not return to the industry due to high interest rates and lack of bank support. This is framed as part of a broader effort to control the food supply and restrict movement through "climate zones" and ULEZ (Ultra Low Emission Zone) policies.

2:13:19 You've got to start taking a look at where you're going to get your food from because it's not going to be beef in the future. One of our producers who is also a beef guy went up to the panhandler and he had some land up there, and he says that big fire that took place in Texas wiped out a bunch of beef producers. He says those people are not coming back! That was me on The Last Show I told you Texas Slim, Texas Slim. I had the note too. No! Texas Slim told me on the phone that he didn't have a note. Oh, I read a note from some guy who had a long... Yeah, it wouldn't surprise me. Not because they can't finance their herd anymore. The banks are of no help? No, interest rates are of no help so we have to keep hammering because it's just become a joke or punchline. Ah yeah whatever

2:14:11 Oh yeah, it's just climate change. No one believes in it." But they're not stopping! They're not stopping. They are going to go until they have total control of us That is what all those ULES zones were in the UK And God bless the Brits You know, the Londoners We are taking that down. We are ripping that stuff down we are not gonna let you force us into some kind of phony baloney climate change zone where we can't drive or can only drive 3 miles an hour It's total control and yet we have to resist. You must resist! Me much? We much this... No, you say that I still have some fight left in me. I still have some fight left in me. And then wow this is something that just came across the wire.

Vaping, Nicotine, and Anxiety Inhibition

A study published in Science Direct explores how nicotine delivery through vaping inhibits the amygdala and promotes dopamine pathways to reduce anxiety. The segment suggests that efforts to ban flavored vapes are intended to keep the youth "spun up" and anxious rather than allowing them a cheap method of stress regulation.

2:20:01 You can hear about us there, but if you get a modern podcast app I'm just saying this might be a great way to keep podcasting free and open because You know they're coming for ya They're coming for everybody. They are coming for everybody, but this is still within the independent open source podcast realm and you can listen to the live stream in these modern podcast apps which you can find at Podcasting2.org or PodcastApps.com if that's easier for you to remember and today I want to promote Podcast Addict which has been around for a long time

CHAPTER 44 / 50 Discussion

Streaming Wars and the Producer Model

A Wall Street Journal report highlights a trend of consumers canceling streaming subscriptions due to price hikes and inflation. The hosts contrast this failing subscription model with their "Value for Value" system, where listeners act as "producers" and contribute only what they feel the content is worth rather than paying for a forced subscription.

npr· wall street journal· streaming subscriptions· inflation· value for value

2:20:39 Podcast Addict was already an established app and they decided, you know what? We're not going to suck off that Apple database. We're coming to the free and open guys at Podcasting 2.0! And when we publish a show any show that's published on or any show that's worth its weight in gold, of course. Which is hundreds of thousands of shows that updates within 90 seconds on your app No longer do you have to wait for 45 minutes an hour even 15 minutes is annoying So go to podcasting2.org to find out more so back to value for value which You know it's a donation drive now for NPR man those guys are annoying how they do it

2:21:28 You know, they... Tell me more. Well this is like you know they sound so smug but first of all they have ads! They have ads! They run ads and then they tell you well you've got to support us but you're running ads I don't get it You're running ad, well but you know you're really the primary source of the funding. Well how about what? The AdMark is unlikely I don't believe it for a second they just want you to give them 50 bucks to get a dumb tote bag or a mug no and then how good is it

2:22:05 You know, people don't and they want you to subscribe. We wanted a subscription! This is the biggest mistake that they've made and the streaming guys they're falling apart right now in fact you know actually had The Wall Street Journal did a whole bid on this And, you know so we consider this to be value for value. Actually we pioneered it the whole idea is we give you all the value we've got everything we have where you know we're not holding back there's no special little bonus content or premium premium content that you can get somewhere else now beginning of the whole show You don't have to send us anything

2:22:40 And by the way, they're doing it. Most people don't know that's right That's what so great about it But if you listen to you know People who want you just subscribe To something or you know like the streamer this is falling apart this whole model because people can't afford it anymore Like you can't afford to subscribe to your five or ten favorite podcasts What's it gonna be 50 bucks a month, $200 dollars a month for your premium content? No we want you to send value when you feel it is appropriate and when you can afford it. And then please send what you think is the right value which also...we can't determine that!

2:23:22 That's not on us. We don't know how much that what about what's valuable to you, but listen to the individual. Yes Yeah Listen to this Wall Street about the streaming wars first I want to talk about a relatively new trend you reported on and that is consumers canceling their streaming subscriptions Does that have to do with the price hikes we've seen introduced by a number of streaming services? So you see customers starting to get to a point where their streaming budget, where they're realizing that it's approaching what cable used to be or just starting to feel really expensive and needy. And so they're saying what do I actually need? What am I actually spending my time on?" And because those streamers have raised prices, they have kept the simplicity of being able to easily turn them on and off. A lot more consumers have gotten savvier about saying you know what i'm going to binge this on Hulu and then i'm going to turn it off or i'm going to binge this next season on Netflix and then I won't need it again for two months until this next show comes out so

2:24:16 a much savvier consumer has emerged. And also with inflation and just the rising cost of living, households are saying how much am I actually spending on entertainment? And am I getting full value out of it? Oh, full value! There you go see people are getting smart they want value so if you get any value from our podcast And maybe you need five shows, maybe you need a month's worth of shows. Oh! You know what? That was valuable to me." Then you send something back. You can always give us value by promoting the show, by hitting people in the mouth, by organizing meetups... There are many ways you can contribute all the time to the entire group. Remember,

2:24:55 You're not listeners. You're not an audience who were saying, hey you subscribe to our app! No...you're producers. You're part of the product that's the postmodern avenue that we took and it's been working okay for 16 years but yes it says about two to three percent who actually support us financially so consider that. No tote bag, no mug nothing you know? You don't have to binge anything just listen to our show if this is valuable to use in the back to us Now before we thank our treasure donors, we have time and talent in the form of the artists. We believe that this is a very valuable addition to the show and we've been doing it almost as long as you've had this show only in the last year or two have a couple other podcasts started doing it why? Because they don't have these producers that we do

CHAPTER 45 / 50 Discussion

No Agenda Art and Episode 1644 Recap

The hosts review the artwork for the previous episode, "Shock Opera," praising Tantaniel's "Bloodbath 24" hat design. They explain the role of the "Clip Custodian" and Dreb Scott in managing chapter art and encourage artists to submit work to the No Agenda Art Generator, while noting a preference against "gruesome" imagery like bugs.

shock opera· tantaniel· bloodbath· cicada· dreb scott

2:25:50 There's no way because they haven't set it up. They're just like, you're a stupid listener! Listen to my ads! I'm gonna interrupt the show... Listen to my ads! Yeah click on the link smash the subscribe button Oh No, no So we want to thank the artist who we chose art from on the previous episode that was episode 1644 And, uh... That was... Blink. Uh we titled that one Shock Opera! Shock Opera! And again it was the art that made us laugh right off the bat

2:26:26 Tontineel comes flying back in with a total winner. A red hat, which we would say would be like a MAGA hat with Bloodbath24 logo on it! It was just... there was nothing that even came close I don't think. It was so good. Well you did- We did like the canned lobster, the canned cicada in a can by a correct record that was pretty funny And we went back and forth, and we said well... We both laughed the minute we saw that hat. That's always kind of a... That's usually the one we just go for Now there was a lot of bloodbath type stuff Also I like that Tantaniel did some other ones She did the lobster from the tree with the cicada Yes correct to record Cicada The lobster from the tree with the can Was very good Did you use it for the newsletter? You said you were going to use it for the newsletter

2:27:20 I know. I think I used some was a cheesecake, I can't remember. Don't be sad at all another correct director records coming in again with some stuff about time and also remember that most of these images are used by the clip custodian. Sorry by Dreb Scott who does our chapters? I said this because Clip Custodian is doing art now as well. Dreb Scott puts together chapters that when you use one of those modern podcast apps, you'll see the artwork change when we change a topic. And usually it's art that goes with the topic. It's really worth it because that way...it's funny! It's an addition to the show or you can go to noagendaartgenerator.com You can refresh live during the show and see what artists are uploading as they're speaking because we choose the art right after the show

2:28:08 But you can always submit something yourself if you want to be a part of the time and the talent. We love it! I'm going to provide another reminder, to the artists that if their art is in any way gruesome and I would consider a cicada a gruesome thing to put as artwork and its kind of repulsive It won't get picked. Why's a cicada gruesome? Well, look at the tree lobsters. The one from Scaramanga with a bunch of gruesome bugs coming out of what looks like a french fry bag No, it's not happening Wow! Well gee... You know about this rule Yeah but now we're into taste I mean i think the tree lobsters is not that gruesome

2:29:01 Yeah, I think the bloodbath with Trump in it that's kind of gruesome. Well that didn't get picked either did it? No! It wasn't even discussed. Thank you again Tantaniel we really appreciate everything you do now we go over to the treasure portion of the value for... You're still banging like mad I don't know what it is. Here's the problem It is the... Two hours and 30 minutes, and he's found the problem. No I know what the problem is! I've known what the problem for last couple weeks. At just at the end of this show I know how to fix it but then after this shows over I turn off the machine and go away and forget all about into the next show. So I have to... Earth Hour

2:29:46 You forget about Earth Hour every year. Yeah, Earth Hour? Well you're no better. Alright everybody... What do you mean I'm no better?! I don't have a bang- You haven't done anything about Earth Hour! No but I haven't... not banging my mic! I don't know that. Everybody email john at Dvorak dot org tonight. Do you know the kind of email I get about to banging the mic? Let me guess Adam needs to shut up about banging the mic No, keep banging the mic because it pisses off Adam. Very similar but no... I'm in charge of audio on this partnership here so when it sounds like crap you know? Here's- You know when something will say the website goes down we've had some intermittent issues

3:03:03 I have no ISOs, I dropped the ball. Good news of the day... Good news on NA What has Mimi given John to play today? That's your good news intro ladies and gentlemen at the end of every single Noah agenda show we'd like to give you a good new story to make You feel good so that you go into the intermittent time between shows feeling wonderful What do you have for us today John? Well, this is a story about Daisy the dog and I don't know. You'd have to like to put it Maybe I'll get a picture of this situation

3:03:43 with this dog, I don't want to say dumb dog but this dog stuck her head in a truck tire wheel that had the center missing and got stuck in it. They couldn't get her out oh no here's what happened. A dog in Franklin Township got herself into a bit of a pickle yesterday. A sweet little pup named Daisy found herself stuck inside of a tire rim at her owner's home first responders were called in and quickly got to work New Jersey correspondent Trish Hartman is live in Franklin Township. Well, Maggie you probably heard about firefighters rescuing a cat stuck in a tree but probably not a dog stuck in a wheel this poor dog got her head stuck in a tire rim yesterday while she was playing the owners the Delano family did the only thing that they could think of and called the fire department

3:04:30 Daisy, the 11-month old yellow lab gets in some trouble from time to time. Yesterday the pup was at home in Franklinville when she got her head wedged into the rim of a tire eventually they called the fire department The Franklinville Volunteer Fire Company responded We tried using some thorn dust detergent We tried some vegetable oil. We tried even slipping some plastic around her neck at that time, Daisy was kind of gasping for air eyes were red we knew he kind of had to move fast knowing time was short Lieutenant Brandon Volpe thought his plasma cutter a torch that's used to cut steel might do the trick and I said this would be perfect tool. I use it every day in my shop. I'm like this would be nice in a few minutes. Daisy was free

3:05:12 The Delano say now that it's over, they're laughing. Glad that Daisy is OK even afterwards all you guys ever did anything like this and they were like nope. Poor dog and Daisy was so nice we got to meet her today now. Daisy is doing just fine besides a few scratches on her neck Her owner says he'll be making sure that the yard is more dog proofed So she doesn't get her head stuck anywhere else reporting live in Franklin Township, New Jersey Trish Hartman Channel 6 Action News Maggie Rick Yeah well she's probably bit tired now Nooooo! Good news with a pun does it get any better than that?

We love bringing it to you And we'll do it all over again on Thursday because that's what we do. No premiums, no subscriptions, no ads, no creepy pharma money would be good for us but nope, not have any of that

3:06:32 Instead, we wind up with our good news and we have dynamite end of show mixes. We've got Nate S., Stefan Jacobson, Professor J Jones and no relation Neil Jones, clip custodian for the end-of-show mix How about that? That don't suck!

And from Northern Silicon Valley where I remain, I am John C. Dvorak We'll return on Thursday please join us here until then remember us at knowagenthedonations.com Adios mofos! Ahooy Hooy!

3:07:30 I've got a meme here that I put in my stack and I lost. But man does it say at all. It's almost too delicious to believe, my friend. Look at that juice! The juice that comes out... My hand is dripping wet here because i have nothing but juice. Beautiful! Yummmmmm Anyone gonna eat this meatloaf? Answer the question! I think that sounds pretty good. Wow, wow... That's a story that I can confidently say is an absolute joke. Hate to say it, don't you so but uh do you wanna get rid of regular gay and lesbian stuff? Some are even calling this spring and summer the Cicadapocalypse

3:08:21 They're talking about girls. Yeah, when they come out they have to be quick. Yay! What are hot girl pills? There's also silly girl pills there's Prozac pillows that's antidepressant. Trying cases. So you're no longer gay or a lesbian you are same-gender loving these are the new terms Gay people won't have everyone be trans now because you are no longer gay, you are also it's about to get real wet apparently because urination velocity. That's more than elephants and horses so... And you've got like kids putting their mental health medication diagnosis in their twitter bios

3:09:07 who identify as women complain that they're lesbians. How far can they actually take this? I think the Windy City's about to get real fun this summer! We're fat because of our severe sugar addiction. All unhappy looking, waiting for a Cinnabon. We're addicted but now we have this fix Ozempic, Wigovi the drug companies that are just flooding America any drug you want in the mail did you see the special? I peeled back some layers on Oprah one point of this special is to hammer into your brain it's a disease, it's not you. Dr W Scott Butch has been studying the disease of obesity. Please note its a disease! They're making this stuff up. The lying and

3:09:56 And they're shoving it down your throat with Oprah right at the helm. It's a spectrum, where else have we heard this? Whereby everybody can be on the spectrum these are the tricks they employ. By the way you're going to be on it for life You won't be on it for the rest of your life. Yeah, the data would support that. When these patients stop the medication, the disease comes back. You're now a drug pusher! Both of you are consultants They are paid consultants for the pharmaceutical companies that they're talking about It's called marketing. You're now a drug pusher That's our new philosophy is to help people live longer happier lives Monjaro and death bound I'm concerned about Benjamin Netanyahu

3:10:40 that he knew where Hamas was getting its money in 2018, he refused to cut it off. I'm concerned that he continued to prop Hamas up. I am concerned that Benjamin Netanyahu had Hamas' terrorist plans a year before the terrorist attacks and they did nothing after the attacks did nothing for 6 7 8 10 hours they were ill prepared then i've never seen anything like Are we really going to tie Israel's future up to this man and say if those of us who love Israel, those of us who were taught in Sunday school when we were five years old that Jews are God's chosen people?

3:11:34 Because six million were slaughtered in the Holocaust, are we not allowed to question Benjamin Netanyahu's motives? Because if not that is pretty sick and it is not in Israel's best interest. The best podcast in the universe! MopoDvorak.org Slash N-A Fantastic
