About this episode

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and E-Safety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant are spearheading a global push for internet censorship through aggressive takedown orders and fines. The Australian government is asserting a source of truth doctrine, demanding that platforms like X remove content deemed harmful while positioning local police as the only reliable information source. This regulatory expansion is being framed as a test bed for restrictive social policies that could soon migrate to other Western nations.

In the United States, the Supreme Court is weighing arguments on presidential immunity as Justice Brett Kavanaugh questions the legality of past executive actions, including drone strikes under the Obama administration. Simultaneously, President Biden has signed a $100 billion foreign aid package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, which critics characterize as a massive procurement bill for defense contractors like Lockheed Martin. The legislation includes the REPO Act, authorizing the seizure of $300 billion in Russian sovereign assets, and mandates the transfer of long-range ATACMS missiles to the Ukrainian front.

Domestic tensions continue to rise as Governor Greg Abbott deploys Texas DPS troopers to arrest protesters at UT Austin, while Speaker Mike Johnson faces boos at Columbia University. Amidst these political clashes, nine-year-old Cooper Wallace provides a rare moment of levity after winning the European Gull Screeching Competition in Belgium. Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak break down these developments alongside the collapse of the DEI-focused Women Who Code and the ongoing audience crisis at NPR under CEO Katherine Maher.

Influencer Rant Culture, First Car-Based Video Rants

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak open the session by discussing the cultural phenomenon of influencers recording rants from the front seats of their cars. They speculate on the origins of this trend, mentioning early online personality Jenna Marbles. Curry recalls his own early podcasting history, noting he recorded segments of "Daily Source Code" from his car as early as 2004.

00:00 Oh, everything is going to be electronic. Adam Curry, John C. DeVorah. It's Thursday April 25th 2024 this year award winning Kimo Nation Media Assassination episode 1654 This is no agenda Revealing Repos 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 wondering why people do weird rants while sitting in the front seat of their car...I'm John C. DuBois Well that is... Yes, that is the collapse of society of course. That's-that's all and we'll have that and electrolytes! That's-that's the future. Rancing your car and electrolyte in your belly. That's it. And you notice how everyone's always sitting on the left hand side because somehow their cameras always mirror them?

01:00 Yeah, isn't that weird? That's true. I don't understand why those cameras don't automatically just flip it around you can flip them shows a button You can push it. Do you think so but they know they don't care no there in their car Screaming their heads off and then posting it ranting Yes, that's uh, that is what influencers do John haven't you seven you heard all the kids are doing it Yeah, I wonder who the first person was this is something that has not been explored. This is very common Who was the first person who in their car? Produced an online rant well That's it under the driver seat and yacking away at the camera in the car And then posting it does have to be a number one JFK says the troll room no No JFK. It's not right You know honestly

02:00 One of my early daily source codes I did in the car There's even a picture of me in The New York Times doing a podcast from the car now it wasn't with you It was maybe you or are they Genesis? It wasn't video though. Oh That's not good. Yeah, that's not quite just same thing ranting randomly yeah, well and I was never video and has to be but I don't know That person deserves a Nobel Peace Prize just like maybe Jenna marbles I don't think so whatever happened to her. I don't know what who is Jenna Marbles? Forget who she is well, she was one of the early in for online influencers and she she At one point crack edge, I think she broke down and gave up on it and made a big scene

Twitter UI Shortcuts, Keyboard Navigation Hacks

A technical aside explains keyboard shortcuts on the X platform, specifically how the "T" key functions as a shortcut for reposting content. The hosts compare these navigation tools to classic text editors like Vim and WordStar. They suggest that these shortcuts are sometimes exploited by users looking to maximize engagement and "eyeballs" for their profiles.

x· twitter· keyboard shortcuts· vim· wordstar· user interface

04:28 No. Ah! You're keeping me up, I'm glad. Yeah so if you're on Twitter and it's between R and Y on your keyboard that's a T you hit the T then it brings up the menu to repost or retweet But it immediately, from what I understand... Just a plain T? Yeah. Oh no! They have... Don't you have to hit control or...? No, no didn't oh you didn't know that if if you go on Twitter You can even use your J and K keys for up and down And yeah so complete Linux. What do you call it? Vim VI. VI key mapping

05:06 Remapping to WordStar. Okay, remapping to WordStar... But what it does is it creates an interaction on that post so people get a hit for it or something I think that's what's taking place. Everyone scamming everything to get everything... Eyeballs! I need eyeballs! I'm an influencer and I need eyeballs pay attention to me Anyway, amidst all of this nuttiness that's going on which we obviously will discuss because there are four areas now. Ukraine, Russia Israel, Hamas Taiwan China TikTok

CHAPTER 04 / 55 Discussion

FCC Net Neutrality Vote, Internet Traffic Throttling

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is scheduled to vote on the return of net neutrality rules, which would prevent internet service providers from throttling or prioritizing specific web traffic. The hosts argue that while the policy is framed as consumer protection, it may allow ISPs to block "illegal" traffic such as Tor or BitTorrent protocols. They trace the history of the regulation from the Obama era through its repeal during the Trump administration.

fcc· net neutrality· obama administration· trump administration· tor· isp

05:49 But what's happened today just kind of got snuck in and there wasn't a lot of chatter about it. Net neutrality is making a comeback with an FCC vote today, and that means that internet providers will not be able to speed up or even slow down certain web traffic I love that they're bringing this old trope back Oh! It's so they won't be able to slow down your speed Slow down your speed? Who... Is there anybody raise your hand that has a slowed connection. This is an anachronism, this is the thing of 5-10 years ago But now they're still playing it off like, hey these idiots. They'll believe anything yeah man this slow down my compu serve. Certain web traffic now new FCC rules ban blocking throttling or even disadvantaging certain content apps or services they also bar prioritizing them in return for payment an FCC vote under the Obama administration is what put net neutrality in place to begin with

06:50 You would get AOL and CompuServe and services like that saying, this is Nilay Patel of course the lawyer. We provide email services and you can make websites no shopping so we're more than simple utilities And what's happened over time is that consumers don't want to get that stuff from their broadband provider So it has been gone since 2018 due to a later FCC decision under the Trump administration. But this time around, the FCC as you just heard is taking into account some modern uses of smartphones and other devices so the FCC says it could take a couple months before these rules get put into place. I want to get everybody's head on straight before you go...

07:30 Because this is all one thing and one thing only which we have explained over and over again And every single time we do it's very controversial people come out of the woodwork and go that's not just net neutrality is really important man It's really important, man. This is there will be so now your ISP will be forbidden listen carefully from blocking or throttling any legal traffic. Legal traffic! And there will be pro- and they're allowed to shape their traffic, and they will be able to throttle or block certain protocols that they do not deem to be legal I can think of a few how about TOR?

08:19 Tor, tor gets blocked everywhere. I think that's at the top of the list though. Yeah because you know you can set up a web server at home with tor you don't need anything just uh that's the dark web so that'll be on deck and then torrent they'll block that traffic And actually that will be at the top of the list. I think it'll be Tor first. The copyright paranoia, passing around stuff is really... Well that's what its always been for initially but now you know its dark webs, dark web man, all dark webs Dark Web! Dark Web! Yeah, Tor So go ahead everybody have another drink You thought everyone was like oh Tick Tock, tick tock, tick tock the clock has taken on Tick Tock

09:04 But meanwhile, they're just gonna be able to do anything they want. Well they hope... I mean the workarounds are just... There's not really a workaround at the ISP level for Tor. If you want to serve Tor from your home, I don't think that's going to work. Oh Phoebe it's okay. The dog thinks so? It's like Tor-tor! Tor-tor! It's okay good girl. Good job. You know by the way I should mention because you always get a little annoyed when the dog is in the background barking...I think that dog besides the fact she has a terrific bark

CHAPTER 06 / 55 Discussion

Donald Trump Trial, Courtroom Conduct Allegations

Media coverage of Donald Trump's ongoing legal proceedings in New York is scrutinized, specifically reports from Maggie Haberman and Rachel Maddow. The hosts mock sensationalist claims regarding Trump's physical state in the courtroom, including allegations of him falling asleep or emitting odors. They criticize the lack of cameras in the courtroom, which leads to a reliance on sketches and subjective reporter observations.

donald trump· maggie haberman· rachel maddow· midas touch· courtroom reporting

11:57 I mean, it's just too beautiful to believe. It really is! What? And then... Feebe! Good girl. That worked. So even on this podcast— hello we're a podcast —we give you some real information and how that might actually be interesting in today's legal landscape Other podcasts like the Midas Touch, well they're collaborating with The New York Times and they've got some outstanding reporting on Donald Trump. Turning to the court proceedings as well Maggie Haberman reports that Donald Trump continued to fall asleep during the proceedings as well. And you know what I'm hearing from my sources is that

12:49 I'm hearing from credible sources who know what's going on in the courtroom. Take it for what it's worth, but that Donald Trump is actually farting in the courtroom. Oh yeah! It's very stinky around him There you go I mean this wonderful... That is fabulous reporting This is the level that we get from Maggie Haberman no less He's farting and oh this has been top of the news everyone saw it Trumpies and it's not just farting John its putrid odor In the courtroom and that trumps lawyers are like repulsed by the scent and the smell. And I'm not just saying that to be like, oh funny. Yeah you are! That's exactly why he doing it. You should have said breaking breaking! You know we have good sources there and i'm hearing it from actual credible people that as he is kind of falling asleep he is actually passing gas

13:46 and that his lawyers are really struggling with the smell. I like the addition, that his lawyers are really struggling with this. Are their lawyers keeling over? Are they putting on gas masks? I mean, we need to add this to the Trump rotation. Long ties, insane. Tweets too much small hands, small penis big red button criminal

14:30 Mean, racist, immature, thin-skinned. Runs the mob Has no money Unstable Fatter than 239 pounds Bankrupt 25th Amendment should be instituted He hates women Misogynist Holds grudges forever Plays golf a lot Obstruction of justice Money laundering and Clown John! There you go. No wonder! And farting. We're making a miracle of what he did for you. Farts in court would be the one I also never put on that list, watches Gorilla TV. My all-time favorite. Farts in court... This is your media and alternative media together cooperating with sources reliable sources yeah I mean they literally were talking about it and he's scowling and he's looking angry and pursing his lips

15:26 Yeah, Rachel Maddow got somehow got in she was thankful that she got into the court and she was talking about how he's scowling but you wouldn't I don't know about You if you ever been to a court but generally speaking if you're in the audience. She don't get to see their faces No, no. You're behind them! How do you know the guy is scowling when you're sitting behind him which is where your seated? You're not seated anywhere else I think they're looking at the court uh...which is still always funny to me that they have someone who it's so if you can't have cameras in the court but you can have a guide drawing Yes there's a guy drawing Which is literally a caricature from someone who does that at Central Park

16:07 And it's Trump, you know with his scowl and his pushed lips. I think they're getting it from that. But Rachel Maddow was going on and on about how happy she was to be there and he was scowling...and he walks with a shuffle! I wish I recorded this. This sounds good. He walks with the shuffle, looks like an old man, taller than you think. It was just like what does this got to do anything? It is so high school-ish especially MSNBC that it's an embarrassment. And these people get paid? Rachel Maddow literally gets millions of dollars to work one day a week. That's always a cry in your head, you're always mad about that! So then this is affecting the general population here's one we didn't expect

CHAPTER 07 / 55 Discussion

Presidential Immunity Debate, Supreme Court Arguments

The U.S. Supreme Court is hearing arguments regarding presidential immunity, focusing on whether a former president can be prosecuted for official acts. Justice Brett Kavanaugh's questioning is highlighted, specifically regarding the Office of Legal Counsel's past determinations on the legality of drone strikes under the Obama administration. The discussion explores the hypothetical limits of executive power and the risk of political assassinations.

supreme court· presidential immunity· brett kavanaugh· barack obama· drone strikes

16:56 This is from C-SPAN. Now, there's a number of Trump trials so in this case we're talking about immunity and it's a little confusing because all the things he did on January 6th... He was still president so you know I presume that he has immunity from anything he said but he didn't go and bust down the doors at the Capitol himself but okay! And somehow that gets conflated with Stuff he's done after or wants to do, you know after the election I mean the whole thing is weird. But now it seeps into the brains of people Let's go to C-SPAN Democrat line. This is David independent good morning. Oh, I'm sorry independent Yeah if If the court rules that he is immune and the president is immune to anything You know actually

17:49 Then the president could do anything he wants to, including assassinating his political opponents. So in that case if the court rules for him President Biden could have him assassinate him and get away with it! This is exactly what Putin's doing in Russia! Yeah we're like Russia now! That was great I hadn't heard that one That's a good one. I like that and then we can put to rest once and for all our clearly incorrect assumption that Obama could be prosecuted for his drug... No!

18:29 No, no. I know where it can be put to rest because it was not addressed properly. Well let's listen... Let's listen to it. How about President Obama's drone strikes? This is Justice Kavanaugh asking the question So the Office of Legal Counsel looked at this very carefully and determined that number one The federal murder statute does apply To the executive branch That president wasn't personally carrying out the strike but the aiding and abetting laws are broad. And it determined that a public authority exception, that's built into statutes and that applied particularly to the murder statute because it talks about unlawful killing did not apply to the drone strike. So this is actually the way that the system should function. The Department of Justice takes criminal law very seriously. It learns through the analysis very carefully with established principles. It documents them. It explains them

19:22 and then the president can go forward in accordance with it. And there is no risk of prosecution for that course of activity Of course, you're right. And I think it's ignorance on the part of Justice Kavanaugh's part that he didn't frame the question correctly. Well not only that but he didn't do a follow-up that I can tell...I mean I didn't get...that little clip has been floating around and I don't have the beginning or end of it even though is being played today and the follow up would be with that so that even includes The assassination by drone of an American citizen. That is exactly what he should have followed up with and gotten it, and if they said yes to that great! That's good to know yeah but I don't think he asked that? I don't think Kavanaugh knows these people don't know that stuff well Kavanaugh has dropped the ball here is not his fault this is staff He was too busy boofing Phoebe...it's okay you know who they are

CHAPTER 08 / 55 Discussion

Trump Immunity Analysis, TRT World Report

A report from TRT World provides an international perspective on Donald Trump's four criminal trials and his claim of absolute immunity. The summary covers the federal indictment brought by Special Counsel Jack Smith regarding the 2020 election. The hosts note that the Supreme Court's decision to hear the case has already resulted in significant delays for the trial schedule.

trt world· donald trump· 2020 election· jack smith· federal indictment

20:23 Who's she barking at? Well the painters are still here. It's their last day. Oh, the painters... Where is Tina? Oh no! Important stuff outside the house. First she went to New York and now we're here with the painters and that's important stuff man She's running this town I do have a TRT report about the Supreme Court on former President Trump's immunity. While the US press is sniffing his farts, These guys are actually doing some analysis. Sitting in a courtroom day after day, this will be Donald Trump's life for the next few weeks and possibly for the next several months as well. Trump faces a total of four criminal trials The Hushmoney case concerns allegations before he became president

21:15 But the other cases center on his activities while in office. Most notably, the claim that he attempted to overturn the results of the 2020 election. Today an indictment was unsealed charging Donald J Trump with conspiring to defraud the United States This is the special prosecutor? He sounds out-of-breath! He sounds weird this jack dude Conspiring to disenfranchise voters Yeah you're right and conspiring in attempting to obstruct an official proceeding. But Trump's lawyers would argue that making a president liable for criminal charges would make the job impossible In their submission to the court, they say... And I feel that as a president you have to have immunity very simple

22:11 And if you don't, as an example of this case we're lost on immunity and I did nothing wrong. Absolutely nothing wrong. I'm working for the country." In one sense the court has already handed Trump a victory by agreeing to hear this case at all The former president had been due to appear in court here in Washington last month But the delay caused by this hearing means the chances of him appearing in another courtroom before November's election are getting slimmer by the day. There you go, delay! Delay, delay, delay... Our lawyer Rob is listening to everything today and he'll have a report for us so we'll know exactly what to think but that's better than- You know could it be jury intimidation if Trump is farting? Is intimidating the jury

Wesley Clark, Seven Countries in Five Years

An extended clip of General Wesley Clark from 2007 is played, detailing a 2001 Pentagon memo that outlined plans to "take out" seven countries in five years. Clark recounts a 1991 meeting with Paul Wolfowitz where the strategy for Middle East destabilization was discussed following the Soviet Union's collapse. The countries listed included Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Iran.

wesley clark· pentagon· paul wolfowitz· iraq war· middle east policy

23:00 There could be something to do with gas attacks. Chemical warfare? Yeah, that's it. I thought before we just... since there are so many...I mean there is a lot going on. We're like in a classic Maoist struggle session in America right now And it's spreading all over the world. All over the world, especially Australia I have Australia clips Before we do that Do you mind if i play the extended West Clark 7 clip just so we can remember where a lot of this is coming from? What's the extended version well It's longer than him Just naming the seven countries he gives the background and how long this has been going on and tells you who the people are doing This

23:46 Okay, we played it recently. We didn't play the extended one recently I don't think Well here it is A reminder for everybody It's good It's a backgrounder And then I came back to the Pentagon about six weeks later and saw this same officer and said Why haven't we attacked Iraq? Are we still going to attack Iraq He said oh sir he says its worse than that He pulled up a piece of paper off his desk He said just got this memo from the Secretary of Defense office That says were gonna attack and destroy the governments in seven countries In five years We're gonna start with Iraq and then we're going to move to Syria, Lebanon, Libya Somalia Sudan And Iran. I said in seven countries in five years. Is that a classified memo? He said yes sir! I said well don't show it to me he was about the short to me because I want talk about it and I couldn't believe it would really be true but that's actually what happened

24:36 These people took control of the policy in the United States. And I realized then, it came back to me a 1991 meeting I had with Paul Wolfowitz You know in 2001 he was Deputy Secretary of Defense but in 1991 He was the Undersecretary of Defense for Policy It's the number three position at the Pentagon So I called and up there he was available and he brought me in I said to Paul, and this is 1991. I said Mr Secretary you must be pretty happy with the performance of the troops in Desert Storm and he said Well, yeah he said but not really. He said because the truth is we should have gotten rid of Saddam Hussein and we didn't. And he said but one thing that we did learn he said We learned that we can use our military in the region in the Middle East and the Soviets won't stop us. He said and we've got about five or ten years to clean up those old Soviet client regimes Syria

25:34 Iran, Iraq before the next great superpower comes on to challenge us. It was a pretty stunning thing I mean the purpose of the military is that start wars and change governments it's not this sort deter conflict we're gonna invade countries and you know my mind was spinning This country was taken over by group people with a policy coup Wolfowitz and Cheney and Rumsfeld And you could name a half dozen other collaborators from the Project for New American Century. They wanted us to destabilize the Middle East, turn it upside down make it under our control

26:22 There you go. That's that's the full Wes Clark 7 well, that's actually a different clip it is it is It's not to owe the old classic clip. That's correct Yeah This is yeah because he said these brought this up into the he brought us into the conversation more than a few times and that clip is probably more interesting. I haven't heard that for a while, you're right. Yeah now i knew you'd like it and he's like because it kind of sets the stage It's a winner! It kind of sets the stage let's look at Australia... Australia's gone nuts. Oh, okay what do we have? Let me just say a few things because I notice our Australian donors are down so... They're dead! Dead Jim! We don't have them. A lot of them. They have this Prime Minister this guy but nobody knows who he is his Anthony Albanese

CHAPTER 10 / 55 Discussion

Australian Censorship, E-Safety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and E-Safety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant are leading a push for stricter internet censorship. The Australian government has issued takedown orders to platforms like X regarding posts deemed harmful or involving misgendering. Critics argue that these unelected bureaucrats are using vague powers to police political debate and silence dissent.

australia· anthony albanese· julie inman grant· e-safety· censorship· x

27:16 He looks like Elmer Fudd and acts like Elmer Fudd. He's the head of labor, and he is a censorship nut in the whole country both sides... Oh! Everybody in the entire political spectrum wants to censor everything? Yes And all information should come from the government and the police And I have a series of clips. Now this series of clips begins with one, these are all from Sky News and it's a collection of various...

27:55 Australian politicians all demanding censorship. And this guy Albanese thinks it should be illegal to make a meme that involves him." Well, to be fair I don't know if you have the clip but he was talking about superimposed...I don't know if it was a meme or not but memes would fall under his outrage yes Yeah, and he thinks it should be... memes literally should be illegal. He said memes? He said memes. Memes is his...he hates memes! He's like you! You should move to Australia! My bags are packed I'm ready to go

28:38 All right. I want to start this with a this clip is not part of the super clips, but this is a clip about the and there's this woman named Julie Inman Grant who is the E-Safety chief. He says he's in charge of safety. He say oh, I like e-safety and she is someone who is she's the lot of a lot of the genesis for this is from her And she's weird because she has a a California accent. It doesn't sound like an Australian at all, but she put the clamps, the kibosh on any... And she's the one really into misgendering and arresting people and throwing them in jail if they misgender is really important to her that this doesn't happen so I want to play that clip first which is just about the misgendering because some people got their tit in a ringer over this

29:37 And then I'll play the other one. This is e-safety Julie Inman Grant clip. Chris, we've had him on this program has submitted a notice of appeal against the E-Safety Commissioner in this country, Julie Inman Grant over her takedown order for his post where he supposedly misgendered a trans activist Tell me the latest with this case. It's a fascinating one, it is one that got international attention people were shocked that this was happening in Australia and you would think the East Safety Commissioner would have bigger priorities I don't know child exploitation for one then to bring down posts on X? Yeah that's right look there is a serious issue with the exposure of children to graphic an obscene content and it needs to be dealt with

30:27 you've got here with this e-safety commissioner, she's an activist. She will continue to expand her role to police the internet and censor debate in a way that is consistent with her own ideological views. We're just talking about the EPA – it's exactly the same problem. You have these unelected bureaucrats who have vague powers and they will fill it with their And you know, she has a track record of censorship and it only ever targets one side. And unfortunately we're seeing that happen again You know if I can just add some color to this expose of what's happening in Australia When i went up to Dallas for my buddy 60th birthday

Australian Social Climate, Personal Anecdote

A personal anecdote describes a conversation with an Australian travel agent from Perth regarding the changing social climate in the country. The speaker suggests that since the implementation of strict gun control and COVID-19 lockdowns, the Australian public has been "beaten down into submission." The interaction highlights a perceived defensiveness among citizens regarding their government's restrictive policies.

australia· perth· gun control· covid-19· travel agent

31:04 And up there was a travel agent. Now she is, she has her own travel agent business and she booked a lot of stuff for us and she did it for free you know this friends or the family and it's really good because she gets all kinds of benefits you know how travel agents work they get a piece at the back end somehow So I meet her and that, I knew that she was Australian. And we're chatting as a party and I say wow man you know...I was in Australia 1990 and she's from Perth. I said you know Perth is beautiful i really love that but man! That country has really changed. She goes what do you mean? I said well ever since you took the guns away Well dude I don't think she's ever gonna do anything for us. She got really mad about that. And then I was like well in COVID it was over

31:53 She was really defensive about it, which to me means she knows. She knows that something has gone really awry and maybe that's why we're not hearing from our Aussies anymore. Something is weird. Something is going on. That's an interesting anecdote. I think they've been beaten down into submission. It finally happened and they are the first to go. Like it happened here too. It can't happen here! Yes it can. Oh yes it can All you're talking about is Trump farting, it's the best you can do. We're lost! So let's go with eSafety2 and then this will be a roundup of the commentary from... unfortunately you don't see who their people are in there, you can't see the chyron but I can just tell you this is besides Albanese's in here people from both sides of all political parties are making these comments

CHAPTER 12 / 55 Discussion

Australian Police, Source of Truth Doctrine

Australian law enforcement and government officials are asserting that the police should be the "source of truth" for the public, rather than social media. New draft laws aim to hold tech companies like Meta and Google accountable for the "velocity and virality" of misinformation. The E-Safety Commissioner warns that the government is prepared to fine platforms or block search engine results to minimize content Australians can see.

australia· sydney· social media· misinformation· police· digital service act

32:48 The entire country is all in for harsh censorship. Legal notices have been issued to Google, Meta, X, Telegram, WhatsApp and Reddit amid a surge in reports of harmful content being spread on the platforms We are prepared to take whatever action is necessary to hold these companies into line So is there a case do you think for tougher action against social media companies? No question at all and I think there's a bipartisan position in relation to this. This is exactly as I'd expect from X or Twitter or whatever you want to call it, a disregard for the information that they pump into our communities lies and rumours spreading like wildfire and then when things go wrong

33:33 throwing their hands up in the air to say that they're not prepared to do anything about it. We know that the companies, and we've seen some of the comments from Elon Musk overnight so they see themselves above the law. We've had enough Sydney's had enough Media companies including social media companies have a responsibility to act It shouldn't need the eSafety Commissioner to intervene Hmm. And that was everybody, that's everybody from the political spectrum left to right... Well hold on doesn't doesn't that kind of fall in line with I just said because people on X, whatever you want to call it, but people on x are saying hey Australia is crap they went to crap they're lost maybe everybody's offended by that

34:16 It could be just thinking so let's go. Okay part two of this clip I think brings in Inman grant and she and you can hear her then listen to her accent because she She's introduced, and then as she's chatting right away And this is not an Australian accent I can say I can assure you I don't know what it is But it sounds like a California girl Julie Inman Grant is the eSafety Commissioner. Well we have a range of graduated powers, there could be civil proceedings and we could take them to court or we can fine them She has American Cali girl up talk. Fowers? Yeah she's totally. And she says ummm

34:53 Well, what an offense. Julie Inman Grant is the e-safety commissioner? Well we have a range of graduated powers there could be civil proceedings and we could take them to court or we can fine them Of course the quantum of the fine would depend on the gravity of noncompliance This is where we try and work with platforms either voluntarily raise this or use our codes mandatory standards to force compliance But we can use graduated tools like link to Alicia notices. So if they fail to remove the content, then we can go to the search engines such as Google or Bing to really minimize the amount of content that Australians can see." Since we'll work with the Commonwealth Government to pull down those pages but I can't emphasize enough how difficult it is

35:45 combustible situation when false and malicious rumors spread like wildfire in our community. We need to be in a position where we're dealing with truth. Information should be from police and law enforcement authorities, and if people have concerns they should check our websites our socials and any other direct news from law enforcement about current information. Act on advice and information that's provided by the government or the police so please be assured that police will be the source of truth and not social media and misinformation And then when it comes to the misinformation and disinformation, the government does have was working on draft laws to try and put in place some much tougher rules for the social media companies where are you at on this? Are you prepared to back such laws

36:33 Yeah, we are and happy to have a look at anything the government puts forward as we've said over the last week with horrendous things that we've seen. But if extra Commonwealth laws are required to take down web pages that are inciting violence and smashing cohesion in Australia's largest city then that's exactly what needs to happen The more this content is up there, the more it is re-shared, the more velocity and virality continues and we need to stem that Velocity and Virality? My favorite quote in that little commentary there was, the police is the source of truth. And that was a cop saying that some woman female police department chief... Shut up slave! The police are the source of truth I consulted the book of knowledge

Julie Inman Grant, CIA and Microsoft Background

Biographical details of Australian E-Safety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant reveal she was born in Seattle and worked for Microsoft before moving to Australia. The hosts highlight her past offer of a case agent position with the CIA, which she reportedly declined. Her career trajectory from U.S. congressional advisor to a high-level regulator in Australia is cited as evidence of deep-state influence in international censorship efforts.

julie inman grant· cia· microsoft· seattle· john miller

37:26 And allow me to share what we have learned from Wikipedia about Julie Inman Grant. She was born in 1968 in Seattle, Washington. Ah there you go! She's an American public servant who is currently serving as the e-safety commissioner a role which leads Australia's independent regulator for online safety after graduating from university in early 1990s grant was offered a position as a case agent with the CIA But declined the offer as it meant, quote, I won't be able to tell my friends and family what i was doing. She subsequently started working in the public sector as a policy advisor for United States Congressman John Miller and then from 95-2000 she worked as a government affairs manager for Microsoft

38:15 And then she moved to Australia, I guess she married her now husband and became the Asia-Pacific Director of Internet Safety Privacy and Security at Microsoft. So...she glows in the dark Yes, and the spooky thing is interesting because I think...I don't know if you can tell by seeing what's missing from that to say that she actually is working for the CIA. Oh yeah clearly! Which would end the cover would be oh I refuse that job because I wouldn't be able to tell my friends what I do and then all of a sudden she's running e-security in Australia somehow She only refused the case agent job didn't say she refused

39:00 CIA position just case agent. Ah good, good catch on the parsing yes that's how we do it that's how we do it so that's what's going on there so this CIA is huh yeah okay so let's go to this last clip of the group here we go The Online Safety Act has significant powers in and we passed when were in government and it needs to be enforced It's about time that we strengthen rules in relation to the E-Safety Commissioner There's a age verification which has been recommended by the E-Safety Commissioner from 2023. We think that's something the government should pick up straight away. We've just put some very strong mandatory codes in place to encourage companies to do more If the laws are inadequate and they need to be strengthened or added to, then we would support any effort from the government. We're prepared to take whatever action is necessary to haul these companies into line To really minimise the amount of content Australians can see

CHAPTER 14 / 55 Discussion

Australia as a Global Policy Test Bed

The hosts discuss the theory that Australia serves as a "test tube" or global test bed for restrictive social policies. They point to the country's extreme COVID-19 measures, such as city-wide cordons and travel passes, as a precursor to current censorship efforts. The discussion suggests that the ultimate goal is total control of a captive population through the military-industrial complex.

australia· test case· lockdowns· military-industrial complex· social control

39:58 They're gonna cut off their internet. They're gonna get kangaroo social media I'd like to know why What what's the big deal? She at the end is who I think was the kicker which says we have to make sure that we We control what Australians can see. Let me just hear that exact quote again because that is quite beautiful, let's hear it again here To hold these companies into law to really minimize the amount of content the Australians can see Minimize the amount... there goes the show This is where, yeah. There goes the show everybody We will be cut off this show which does nothing more than analyze news stories Will be cut off from Australia as well everyone because they're going to control the flow of information into Australia from outside sources

40:51 Why? I mean, what's the end game here besides just control of a captive population. Is there any other endgame that is the end game isn't it? Just control the population? The point would be...I guess because maybe we're going to set up bases there or discuss something with China There's an underlying reason for this that we don't understand, but it has to be... No. ...something to do with the military-industrial complex? Well perhaps but I think its simpler than that Australia was the first one to they were really the test case here is your jab shut up stay home we're cordoning off you need a pass to get out of your city

41:32 That's what happened. I think this is... They did have that little element we keep forgetting about with the pass to get out of the city Yeah, can we break a country? Can we break some...? So you're just thinking Australia is a giant test tube Yeah in a way sure Sure! I mean they broke Chris Wilson to a degree That's a broken man I talked to him frequently not really often but he's like oh I'm still overboard and you know He's just trying to get along They've broken people there. And that response I got from the travel agent... That's really an important story, yeah. Yeah, something broke

Fredericksburg School Board, SHAC and Library Books

In Fredericksburg, Texas, parents and members of "Moms for Liberty" are protesting the School Health Advisory Committee (SHAC) over the inclusion of sexually explicit books in school libraries. The local school board delayed a vote on the materials following a large turnout of concerned citizens. The hosts link this local struggle to the broader findings of the Cass Review regarding gender identity services for children.

fredericksburg· texas· shac· moms for liberty· school board· cass review

42:15 And they don't, and they have no... At least in America we think like oh yeah man we got guns. Okay sure. Woo let's go everybody! You first! I've got 2,000 rounds but you know so that may be actually quite genius because we just think that we could always take it back but iIdon't really see any evidence that there's anyone with enough chutzpah to do it en masse However, it's gonna get interesting. We have now in Fredericksburg, heart of the Texas Hill Country, Trump land, should have a little sign you know entering Trump land. Shaq has now entered our school system SHAC the School Health Advisory Committee this is so this is... Oh I thought you were talking about Shaquille O'Neal? If only! No no

43:13 This is the outfit, you know. The organization they came from Austin and they bring in health consultants and they put up QR codes in the school Hey kids! You feeling a little gay? Yeah yeah And...and the books They put the books in the library. And so, the ladies got together yesterday. Kudos to the ladies! These are books for nine-year olds about jerking off and wet dreams... This is a nine year old's! It's questionable whether schools should be teaching children about anything of this nature. When they can't add? No! What else you gonna do?! Two plus two what!? Might as well play with this thing

44:03 And so they, the women went en masse yesterday and so they're gaining some ground. They were supposed to approve all these books and they delayed this vote... It was calm but I have a feeling that that it's going. The whole idea that this is... Now, this is that Moms for Liberty operation right? Not just no. It's not just. Or more, it's an expansion. Moms for Liberty Plus Yes, it's Moms for Liberty Plus Well that's what needed everywhere but they'll beat them back somehow Well I'm not so sure and it was mainly the amount of women who showed up Good You know there was just so much

44:49 And one of the school board members said to someone we know, like hey you gotta keep control your group. She's like, I don't control anything. These are concerned parents. You know sadly because there are people on the pro side of this and it's not just you know this is a divided little city here with 11 and half thousand people and they believe they've been propagandized into believing that this is a health issue and that when your kid is feeling gay or trans or whatever that this will prevent them from killing themselves which if

45:23 Which of course we know that all of these measures from the CAS report, was it not? The CAS review. Yeah, CAS. CAS review I think it is. Yeah the review of everything ever printed on the topic. That all of it is just not well...not doing well and then there's a good fraud yes say it's a huge fraud now of course the CAS review gets zero attention because there's way too much money involved Anyway, so that's playing out here in Little Fredericksburg. It's fascinating! So this is a global push? Yeah, Fredericksburg would be a target because it has... Of course! Because of its normal politics and then the influence of nearby Austin which is the most influential city in the entire state Yes and of course

Women Who Code, DEI Organization Collapse

The non-profit organization "Women Who Code" has announced it is closing down after 13 years of operation. Founded in San Francisco in 2011, the group recently moved to Atlanta and hired a DEI specialist as CEO shortly before folding. Internal disputes over the remaining funds and the closure of individual chapters are currently unfolding on social media.

women who code· dei· atlanta· san francisco· non-profit

47:53 I don't know who it was. It started in San Francisco, in 2011 and then by 2018 they, I don't know why but they moved to Atlanta which is like you know if there are certain geographical areas that you want to be in because of certain... You know there's this, I wouldn't call it a vibe or milieu or whatever it is But Silicon Valley, or actually San Francisco which is not Silicon Valley technically is different than Atlanta when it comes to having the different types of people. And so they moved to Atlanta which I thought was a blunder and then they had just in January they hired a new woman who was a DEI specialist. Ah there it is yes! She had us this certificate

48:45 Well, she's actually a... She was actually kind of a chief technical officer type. I would even say maybe a bean counter type and she got a certificate which you could get from her, I guess the school she went to in DEI And she took over the operation in January and four months later folded it. They brought in some new board members to say, hey we're this no go, we're closing down and all the individual units were... they had they were trying to confiscate their money now there's a big battle going on Oh for the money? Because he was trying to get the money? Chapters! Oh brother And so and there's a couple of tough women that are involved you can tell because there's different threads You can follow said wow this girl means business. Yeah, and it is not over So okay so DEI there you go then we have another story This is Moe's prophecy by the way The DEI is unfolding now at the that women who code she wasn't she wasn't black She's a white woman

CHAPTER 18 / 55 Discussion

NPR Audience Crisis, DEI Initiatives Failure

An internal report published by The New York Times reveals that NPR's efforts to diversify its audience through DEI initiatives have largely failed. Despite launching specialized podcasts like "Louder Than A Riot," the share of Black and Hispanic listeners has remained stagnant since 2020. Data shows that 75% of NPR's political news audience is white, a demographic profile similar to Fox News.

npr· new york times· dei· podcasting· audience demographics

49:45 The new CEO? Yeah, the DEI. She's kind of a middle-aged white woman okay we do have the DEI official at UCLA School of Medicine turns out she massively plagiarized her dissertation on DEI. A lot of plagiarists are in DEI! I'm a DEI official I plagiarized my dissertation on DEI That's terrible. And then big story in the New York Times about the inside, the crisis at NPR and a lot of it is, You know, podcasting. Of course podcasting is a much more efficient way to distribute instead of having expensive radio stations and you need people to run the buildings and the transmitters with podcasting they also don't have to adhere to the underwriting they could just go straight on ads which is a big improvement for them

50:42 But also there was a lot of DEI stuff. I quote from the article, so it came as a disappointment to some people on NPR's board last fall when they were presented with new internal data showing their efforts hadn't moved the needle much with black and Hispanic listeners Black listeners made up roughly 11% of NPRs audience in the second quarter 2023 unchanged from the same period in 2020 according to the data The data further showed that the share of Hispanic listeners went up only two percentage points since 2020 to account for 16% of the total audience. One 2020 survey from Pew Research found that, of people who named NPR as their main source for political and election news 75 percent were white more than any other outlet except Fox News!

51:30 So they're literally number two in white supremacy. And here's the best, and this is the funny thing so this shows you how these people were thinking NPR's efforts to diversify itself and its audience didn't always live up to the expectations of the people who work there during a round of layoffs last year NPR cut Louder Than A Riot a hip-hop podcast that examined black and queer issues Okay, let's stop right there. Here's the meeting hey we need to do a little DEI and diversify I know black people like hip-hop yeah Let's get some find some black queer people and make a show Gee and it didn't work You're kidding right? I mean So play this clip which said what and then continue your rampant play this first skip from last show so you have To look it up as podcast add black stories This is the latest NPR attempt

NPR Leadership, Katherine Maher and Revenue Struggles

NPR's new CEO, Katherine Maher, faces significant challenges as the network's weekly audience has dropped from 60 million to 42 million since 2020. The hosts discuss the resignation of editor Uri Berliner and the poor performance of the "NPR Plus" subscription service, which has only 51,000 subscribers. They suggest that NPR's reported audience numbers may be inflated and that the organization's pivot to podcasting has not offset traditional radio losses.

npr· katherine maher· uri berliner· npr plus· podcast subscriptions

52:26 to make a podcast that appeals to blacks. In this country, some truths aren't self-evident in NPR's Black Stories, Black Truths collection of stories as wide ranging and real as the people who tell them we celebrate the black experience for all its soul and richness Search NPR, Black Stories, Black Truths wherever you get podcasts. Oh goodness yeah no wonder this fails guess it's it may come as a surprise to you NPR black people don't even want to be seen as black people they're just Americans they're interested in stuff but your pandering is so creepy! That's the word of the day. Pandering...yeah that's creepy

53:11 Just creepy, like duh. No wonder that didn't work and now just like this e-safety lady they're bringing in some spook here to run the NPR's? Oh yeah! What do you give her six months what do you think how long will the board... Deadpool, deadpool. Deadpool, NPR Deadpool. What are you giving her? I can't give her more than six months it just seems like because they do quarterly reporting its gonna suck It's all and you know that since 20, 2022 I think it was... Well by the way just to be before. I want you to continue but before

53:49 that guy Uri, that wrote that piece. That got fired basically because of this... He wrote a piece in between the two CEOs hoping that he would achieve favor with the newcomer coming in but once she came in she got rid of him because she's like any other you know some one oh that troublemaker get him out! Head chopper yes of course and so she got rid of him that I think is gonna come back to bite her in the ass so that will affect the timeline of her disappearance And I think it will negatively. So, so I think you... I think what's shortened to me is six months. I'm going to give her a year. Well she'll have a year contract at least and here's the here's the stat NPR still has an audience of about 42 million who listen every week many of them digitally which is down from an estimated 60 million in 2020! So even though they went all-in on podcasts they still lost

54:47 18 million listeners and then... Jeez, 18 million is a lot. And then okay so talk about your value for value these people such idiots hold on second they where is it? They put together a podcast subscription service here it is the adoption of NPR's podcast subscription bundle NPR Plus has also lagged behind competitors subscription business. According to internal documents obtained by the Times, nice hit job times 51 thousand people subscribed to NPR plus as of March early March this is since 2022 and they've done about 1.7 million in revenue

55:40 That's a failed product. If you've got 60, well okay let's say 42 million listeners and you do a subscription bundle and only 51 thousand people sign up for it that's a big fail Well either that... It was a big fail under any circumstances but it also indicates to me The podcast thing is broken No it indicates to me that their numbers are not accurate What do you mean? The big number. Oh, the big number? You're taking a percentage of the big number which is what 50 million? No! They don't have... That's bullcrap. If they only have 52 thousand people that are subscribing Yeah That fifty two- that fifty million is bogus. They probably have a few million maybe

56:32 And they're double counting, triple counting quadruple counting. They're fudging the number to make it look like there's more there but then they screw themselves because in any sort of situation where you are doing You're trying to get funds from eyeballs. So you have your eyeballs and you have the money coming from the eyeballs, the percentages are well known to everybody who does that kind of work and the numbers that you're expressing do not match... I'm with ya! I'm with ya! I'm with ya! ...so they're full of it They're lying. I want to get into some of the protests and then, and i'll just have one clip to start off with then you can take it away. I've seen a couple clips. Yeah yeah, I've seen you got clips. You always wanna play your clips. We got clips we got clips.

CHAPTER 20 / 55 Discussion

University Protests, Palestine Solidarity and Encampments

Pro-Palestinian protests and encampments are spreading across major U.S. universities, including NYU and Columbia. The hosts observe that many protesters use identical green tents and wear medical masks, suggesting a high level of organization. They play a clip of an NYU student who admits to being uneducated about the specific demands of the protest, highlighting a perceived lack of depth among the participants.

nyu· columbia university· palestine· bds· student protests

57:22 Something, not you not blaming you but something is knocking against your microphone. I don't know what it is? Oh No, I know exactly what it is okay It's not you and it's not knocking against the microphone. It's not you! I just have to tell you that I know I can fix it...I just haven't been able too And I'm not blaming you. It's coming from the heavenly realms... No, it can happen! It's a long story and sorry that it is bothering you If it was a mic bumper would sound like this Which by the way somebody said if I did that they'd say donate I just did it? Did it again? I need two donations thank you Listen, listen, it's more of this sound. It's more like that Yeah well I know what it is and I am sorry Okay and you know what we don't want to know

58:07 You don't want to know. We don't want to know what it is, I just want to point out. Okay so these kids who are protesting at all the universities and there's a couple things going on first some observations...I see a lot of the same green tents that's just an observation everybody! The same green tents so obviously its clearly organized There was, I got a short little clip you may have seen this one from NYU where there's couple of protesters and by the way what's with the masks? Are they afraid of COVID still? Yeah yeah. This is how smart they are. They're all wearing calendars. They're wearing paper medicals. Spanish flu! Something's going on and so this one girl

58:58 She's mildly cute, you know and she is enthusiastic. I love this clip! She has this nose ring which i just want to clip a dog leash too right away. You see that with my daughter if she came home without ringing like click okay come on And and and she and her compatriots there are clueless. What would say the main goal of tonight's protest? I think the goal is showing our support for Palestine demanding that NYU stop I honestly don't know all of what NYU is doing. Is there something that NYU's doing? I really don't know, I'm pretty sure they're... Do you know what NYU is doing about Israel? Why are we protesting here? Palestine will be free! I wish I was more educated.

59:38 Okay, so I should really...I'd like to be more educated. So they're undereducated and over socialized which is what we saw with the BLM riots and boy didn't that turn out to be a big farce, a big phony, a big money grab. A big write-off for hundreds of millions of dollars for corporate America But they're really not like, we hate Jews. We hate Jews! There's no anti-Semitism going on I've looked at you know the not ours but i've looked at a lot of footage No there's a couple of agent provocateurs particularly in New York that some dude is like watch me I've got a yarmulke and an Israel flag it's almost like remember Kentucky Fried Movie? There's this

1:00:31 Fint the heads is thrill seeker. I think was the Thrill Seeker guy for the Kentucky Fried movie if you haven't seen it It's almost required watching although, I'm sure very very dated and he would have yet a crash helmet on in a cape And there were a bunch of black guys playing craps on the street and he went right in the middle of them and then yells The n-word which back then you could still say And that was, you know... That's how dumb this is. Like oh well this guy is wearing his Israel flag! Well of course you're gonna get people yelling at you but in general there's all these tense and like Jews for Palestine we love Jews you know it's all about stuff there's no one who is being anti-semitic except

UT Austin Protests, Governor Greg Abbott Response

Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) troopers made 34 arrests at the University of Texas at Austin during a "Palestine Solidarity Committee" walkout. Governor Greg Abbott supported the crackdown, stating that "anti-Semitism will not be tolerated" and calling for the expulsion of participating students. The hosts criticize Abbott's rhetoric, arguing that the protests are focused on the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement rather than religious hatred.

ut austin· greg abbott· dps· arrests· anti-semitism

1:01:13 The politicians! Good morning, there is another demonstration expected here later today. The Texas State Employees Union had planned a demonstration for awhile in support of staff associated with DEI pro- Yeah this is kind of interesting as an aside and kind of a follow on, UT Austin just fired all of their DEI people. So on one hand they're like oh we better get rid of this this is not good, DEI is collapsing and they probably have a bunch I don't know, plagiarizers in there? Like this is a close the division. So it was already tense. His union had planned a demonstration for awhile in support of staff associated with DEI programs who are now losing their job here on campus but now student groups say that they will join them in another walkout and the first walk out that they called for yesterday ended up

1:02:04 being chaotic. The Student Palestine Solidarity Committee had planned this walkout, the university had told them the event would not be approved saying that there's a time and place for everything but that they couldn't disrupt campus with final exams next week. Well UT police and Texas DPS they were ready and they quickly issued orders for the crowd to disperse They started pushing groups back off the main lawn and when demonstrators would not leave, they started making arrests. This morning Texas DPS says law enforcement on campus made 34 arrests and there was immediately a public call for protesters to then call the jail and demand their release, and begin raising money for bail. Governor Greg Abbott immediately backed the strong response posting this on X as the demonstration was happening these protesters belong in jail anti-semitism will not be tolerated in Texas period students joining in hate filled anti semitic protests at any public college or university in Texas should be expelled. This is bullcrap

1:03:06 That's our governor saying, oh anti-Semitism. No! This is the BDS crowd. By the way I think people out there should be reminded that Greg Abbott is the governor of Texas. Yes, he's disliked by you He's a globalist because you think he's a big phony. He's a big phony globalists. He gets a pass because in wheelchair Yeah But we're not we're on to you Abbott No, he's a phoney does phony things at the border with a phoney little Eagle Pass You know, oh here's offense or we're gonna stop him it we got forward operating base Now you don't use a phone. He's a big phony

CHAPTER 22 / 55 Discussion

Mike Johnson at Columbia, Anti-Semitism Allegations

House Speaker Mike Johnson visited Columbia University to demand the resignation of its president and condemn what he termed "the virus of anti-Semitism." Johnson's visit was met with boos from protesters as he called for order to be restored for Jewish students. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also weighed in, describing the situation on American campuses as "horrific."

mike johnson· columbia university· benjamin netanyahu· joe biden· free speech

1:03:44 And now, and here he is ginning it up. Gin it! Oh, it's anti-Sem... Here's Deutsche Welle to add to it This is definitely a nationwide topic You just mentioned the White House We also had the Secretary of Education who weighed in here saying that what he has seen on campus Is a disgrace The White House, a press release that they send out saying that antisemitism has no space not only in any college across the country but also anywhere And as we hear also the concerns of Jewish students but also faculty members, Rabbi close to the university even told Jewish students to stay away. But there is important to make a difference between the protesters protesting inside the university but also outside when it came here earlier today what were hearing some chants and people who were here

1:04:29 saying and rejecting a two-state solution quite different to the chance that we're here inside. But we can imagine that this will still develop as we see more and more universities, more of these protests also happening across the country." Again they're just parroting whatever the CIA told them because this is a scam! They're setting it up and making it look like these kids hate Jews. It's not... This is not what... It's blatantly false because that's not what the chance are There's none of that. It's pro-Palestine BDS, you know? Boycott divest and sanction they want their universities to no longer invest in Israel whatever but stop the genocide but they're not saying we hate Jews they just not it and even Mike Johnson was doing do you have that on your clip I had the Mike Johnson clip let me see where is it

1:05:18 Under Mike Johnson. That would make sense here at Columbia House Speaker Mike Johnson in New York City today meeting with students as he calls for Columbia University's president to resign and DDS White House correspondent Iris Tao was at the speakers press conference After meeting with Columbia University's President Manusha Fikir on campus house speaker, Mike Johnson says she needs to step down As just too weak and protecting Jewish feeling is that they have not acted to restore order on the campus This is dangerous this is not Free expression, this is not First Amendment. They are threatening intimidating saying that they will take violence upon Jewish students we met with Jewish students who were in fear they can't come on campus

1:06:01 Meanwhile, Johnson was repeatedly booed by pro-Palestinian protesters during his press conference. Though he responded with a blunt message. It does not matter who shouts in our faces we're gonna do what is right by America my message to the students inside the encampment is get go back to class and stop the nonsense stop wasting your parents money. And Johnson says he also... Oh that's it? By the way just as I need to stop that for a second That was edited together because I saw the whole thing and he's up there, and some dude next to him—some Texas congressman said stop wasting your parents' money. And he said yeah! Stop wasting your parents' money that's what the congressman just said

1:06:40 They cut that out of this report. That's interesting go back to class and stop the nonsense Stop wasting your parents money Nice edit yeah, it's a good edit But but it's there so plans to call President Biden tell him what he's seen here And also demand him take executive action to address this president biden on monday is that he condemns anti-Semitic protests but also condemns those who don't understand what's going on with the Palestinians. Former President Trump says Biden does not know who he's backing all this as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday called the situation American college campuses horrific What's happening in America's college campuses?

CHAPTER 23 / 55 Discussion

Mike Johnson Rhetoric, Political Pressure and Blackmail

The hosts analyze Mike Johnson's speech at Columbia University, noting his use of biblical and historical references, such as Winston Churchill. They question why the Speaker of the House is involving himself in university affairs and speculate that he is being pressured or blackmailed by third parties. They argue that Johnson's claim that the protests are "not free speech" is a contradiction of First Amendment principles.

mike johnson· columbia university· winston churchill· free speech· blackmail

1:07:19 It's horrific. I cut it there because it was perfect. Alright, so interesting...I have a different clip of Mike Johnson and it's funny that he starts saying this is not free speech what is he talking about? That's the literal expression of free speech And here again... Well, when I saw the one- I saw another one. There's a million clips of him. Yeah But first of all let's start with the fact that he showboating. Totally! There is no reason for Mike Johnson to go to Columbia Yeah, really. There's no reason for Mike Johnson to go to... He is the Speaker of the House Why is he at Columbia? Just to show up The fact that Biden won't go or Biden can't figure out where it is Or whatever Because he has been blackmailed They got him! And now hey Hey little boy Go to New York and say something Talk anti-Jew stuff

1:08:19 I'm telling you. Well it's probably somebody, what you're saying is that there's a narrative that has been created by a third party and he is now astute. He's astute yes because of the... Remember he signed the bill out. Yeah but let me play this clip because there's some different stuff in here We are standing right now on the steps of The Lowe Library In this very building right behind us, Columbia University once awarded Winston Churchill an honorary degree and it was Churchill who said it is manifestly right that Jews should have a national home where they may be reunited. We believe in that principle! And today I'm here to proclaim to all those who gnash their teeth and demand to wipe the state of- Oh, ooh, ooh... Do you hear what he said there? To those who gnash their teeth? That's like a biblical thing

1:09:09 That's a virtue. You want to hear a virtue signal? That's a virtue of gnashing of teeth. Weak, weak Johnson. Yeah but that's weak. That's really weak! We believe in that principle and today I'm here to proclaim to all those who gnash their teeth and demand to wipe the state... Hey stop it again! Stop it Is the reference to panties in a bunch, is that biblical too? It is now. And today I'm here to proclaim To all those who gnash their teeth and demand to wipe the state of Israel off the map and attack our innocent Jewish students This simple truth Neither Israel

1:09:48 Nor these Jewish students on this campus will ever stand alone. Today Hamas issued an endorsement statement of the protesters on this campus, they called them the future leaders of America It is detestable All of this has to be said because the cherished traditions of this university are being overtaken right now by radical and extreme ideologies. They place a target on the backs of Jewish students in the United States, and here on this campus A growing number of students have chanted in support of terrorists They have chased down Jewish students. They have mocked them and reviled them, they've shouted racial epithets. I haven't seen that! They have screamed at those who bear the Star of David. Enjoy your free speech. They told Jewish students who wear the Star of David to leave the country and shamefully some professors in faculty joined the mobs

1:10:45 Things have gotten so out of control that the schools canceled in-person classes and now they've come up with this hybrid model where they will discriminate against Jewish students. They are not allowed to come to class anymore for fear of their lives, and it's detestable as Columbia has allowed these lawless agitators and radicals to take over The virus of anti-Semitism is spread across other campuses By some counts as many as 200 universities have a similar form of protest right now So, this guy has really lost the plot and I think that...I got this clip here. This is from NBC. The threatening of Johnson which he is responding to whatever they threatened him with

CHAPTER 24 / 55 Discussion

Foreign Aid Package, AIPAC and Defense Contractors

President Biden signed a $100 billion foreign aid package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan after Mike Johnson allowed the bill to reach the House floor. The hosts trace the flow of political donations from defense contractors like Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman through the American Israel Education Foundation (AIEF) to AIPAC. They characterize the aid package as a massive procurement bill designed to benefit the U.S. defense industrial base.

foreign aid· aipac· aeif· lockheed martin· northrop grumman

1:11:29 Whether it's like, if you don't bring this to the floor. If you don't vote for... You don't get this passed man then America is going to die or your gonna die Or no! We may reveal some photos. We may show some photos Yeah, you're still on that. I give it a 10% possibility but it's possible. Well you can give any possibility you want but seems the easiest way to do it yeah well listen this report from NBC Tonight with Ukraine struggling defend off Russia's relentless military assault new American weapons are finally on the way after President Biden signed that nearly 100 billion dollar foreign aid package It is good day for world peace By the way thats quote

1:12:11 $100 billion in weapons. It's a good day for peace. It's gonna make the world safer. The announcement comes after a six month long White House effort to approve more aid, the delay caused by conservative Republicans who threatened to oust House Speaker Mike Johnson if he supported it. Multiple officials tell NBC News the president broke the logjam by directing aides to court Johnson, privately making clear to him the consequences of inaction. Yeah, he had an Oval Meeting that's what happened. What was the... What? What was the vote when they did the final vote I think there was something like a hundred Republicans that voted for that thing. Oh, well that's part of the whole distraction that the Republicans are doing no listen Listen look! The whole point is focus on Mike Johnson focus on Mike Johnson Please don't look at your representatives who voted for it That's the point All Johnson was doing was keeping it from from the floor

1:13:12 doing these Republicans a favor and he was finally badgered into putting it to the vote. Yes, and the Republicans sold their own people out! If it wasn't for all the Republicans that voted for it wouldn't have passed has nothing to do with Mike Johnson No but that's why they're all focus on him focus on him not on us because...and I'm gonna go there These people did indeed receive a lot of money and I'm talking Rubio, McCall. These are not Jews by the way They all got money from AIPAC And I decided you know what? I'm gonna go look at this AIPAC outfit And AIPAC is a 501c4 which means they're a lobbying organization The end...I'm like well where does their money come from Of course no one has to disclose this and then I find it They get their money from the AIEF

1:14:06 Ever heard of them? No. No, no neither did I. AEIF at AEIFDN dot org is the America Israel Education Foundation The charitable and literal they have a one-page website one page uh the charitable organization affiliated with APAC so i and their 501c3 so when you donate to them This is what we call a cutout. When you donate to them, you get a tax write-off and they then ship all that money over to AIPAC And wouldn't ya know it? Lockheed Martin $1.9 million dollars north of Grumman

1:14:46 1.253 million dollars, General Atomics $1.229 million This is how it works The defense contractors donate to AEIF AEIF sent 35 million dollars and this 2019 numbers because very... cause you know they don't have to report either So I'm just getting stuff that has been reverse engineered on the internet you know, from open secrets type places. That's how the money flows and then you can always say, where is the juice? But no, it's not. Not unless the Jews are running Lockheed Martin I don't think so. It is some woman... Exactly! And if you look at the board of directors of AEIF it's three times as long as AIPAC. AIPAC that's all your Jewish names oh yes we're doing it here boy boy doing it for Israel but AEIF that's where all the contractors are on the board and so I did the unthinkable uh-oh I did the unthinkable

CHAPTER 25 / 55 Discussion

Supplemental Appropriations Act, Slush Funds and Migration

A detailed breakdown of the 270-page foreign aid bill reveals billions of dollars allocated for "other purposes," including $3.5 billion for migration and refugee assistance. The bill provides funding for FEMA, USAID, and the Department of State, which the hosts describe as a series of "slush funds." They highlight provisions for "humanitarian needs" that they claim facilitate illegal immigration at the U.S. southern border.

ukraine· israel· fema· department of state· migration· refugee assistance

1:15:48 I went and marked up all 270 pages of this bill. This is a procurement bill, that's what this is. What's interesting is that this bill is entitled as an act to amend title 38 US not United States Code to make certain improvements relating to the eligibility of veterans to receive reimbursements for emergency treatment furnished through the Veterans Community Care Program and for other purposes. It's always fun to see if they take a bill that's already on the floor, that's gone through the basic stuff And then they just rip it all out and replace it. This thing is amazing

1:16:34 It consists of a couple of divisions. Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, Ukraine Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, Indo-Pacific Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, the Century Peace Through Strength Act... Could it be more Orwellian? Century Peace... I'm sorry 21st century peace through strength. The FEND Act which is fend off fentanyl The Rebuilding Economic Prosperity and Opportunities for Ukrainians Act, that's a big slush fund. Then we have Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications, that's your TikTok act. Then we have the SHIP Act, the Fight Crime Act, the MASHA Act... There is a whole bunch of stuff in here but I just want to rattle off some numbers. I know how to read these things by now! So we start with Department of Defense Operations and Maintenance

1:17:33 $4.4 billion transferred to the accounts under the heading operation and maintenance procurement and revolving and management funds So that's not going to Ukraine But the Secretary of Defense will notify the Congressional Defense Committees at the details with such transfers so that a determination that all or part of the funds transferred from this appropriation are not necessarily for the purposes provided herein, so he can do whatever he wants with it No wonder they replaced him Then we have it divided. Procurement of ammunition for the army, $801 million to respond to the situation in Israel and other uses. Defense-wide, $5.2 billion dollars to respond to the situation in Israel and for related expenses

1:18:23 $4 billion given to the Secretary of Defense to provide for the government of Israel for procurement, i.e., buying from us for the Iron Dome, David's Sling, short-range rockets...$1.2 billion will be for the procurement of the iron beam defense so that's just being spent on us then they have some Defense Production Act stuff in there $198 million is not that interesting but then we go to Additional 2.4 for the Department of Defense, for transfer to military personnel accounts operation and maintenance and procurement. Defense working capital funds. It's nothing going anywhere it's not going to Ukraine or Israel anywhere Then we have title two department of homeland security We throw them 10 million dollars just for operations FEMA? FEMA do they operate in the Ukraine FEMA

1:19:16 FEMA $390 million and $230 million for non-profit security grant program to eligible nonprofit organizations to prevent, prepare for protect against and respond to acts of terrorism. To nonprofits! This is dynamite Then we got it. And then to the... If you're on the other end of the tit! Well, of course then the Department of State 150 million just a fly around 100 million for security worldwide security they will give 4 million to the office of the Inspector General to oversee everything. Then to the diplomatic and consular services 50 million for general stuff in case you need it. You know flier on jets I guess? Mostly jets

1:20:04 Bilateral economic assistance, $5.6 billion to address humanitarian needs, emergency food and shelter of vulnerable populations and communities." It doesn't specify just 5.6 billion. And then my favorite Department of State migration and refugee assistance 3.495 billion dollars for humanitarian needs of vulnerable populations to come in through the southern border Yeah, I mean this is literally what they're doing. That's why they're getting a $10,000 credit card Yes! Here you come on welcome here it's not easy There's the ten thousand dollar credit card yeah And there are guys that we know for a fact because they've said so have come in grabbed the credit card escaped out of the country and Come back in again

1:20:55 To get a second credit card. Even Phoebe knows this. Yeah, it's okay baby. It's okay Then in case someone has some issues we're gonna give away three and half billion dollars for foreign military financing You know hey you need financing? We can give you a lease on this stuff! We have financing available I mean literally with five mil- Hey Phoebe come here With 5 million for the sales department Expenses for general costs of administering military assistance and sales. They've even got the sales persons in there. Phoebe, come here. Let me skip ahead here. There's a couple other things because then we get into my... Pheebs, come here baby. Come here. USAID

CHAPTER 26 / 55 Discussion

Ukraine Military Funding, Research and "Science"

The aid bill allocates tens of billions of dollars to various branches of the U.S. military for "operations and maintenance" related to Ukraine. Specific line items include $4.8 billion for the Army and $3.2 billion for Air Force research and development. The hosts point out a curious $98 million allocation for "science" in the Department of Energy budget, suggesting it may be a coded entry for undisclosed activities.

ukraine· department of defense· air force· space force· department of energy

1:21:46 $3 million for monitoring of assistance made available for Gaza. So we give both sides some money Go make sure that the missiles hit right Here's three million dollars, go monitor Then we have... Okay now we go to Ukraine This is great. For military, Department of Defense for military personnel 207 million that's our people are paying them. Military per...for the Marine Corps 3.358 million dollars for our Marines 23 million for the Air Force 4 million for Space Force Phoebe? Space force! Operation and maintenance for the Army $4.8 billion to respond to the situation in Ukraine and for related expenses

1:22:34 provided that such amount is designated by Congress as for being for an emergency requirement pursuant to this section. So they're just gonna hold on to it we give... That slush money's called? Oh, it's all slush money! Operation and maintenance for the Navy are we sending the Navy to Ukraine 976 million the Marine Corps 69 million And they just get this is it just keeps on going but here's the I love this one general operational maintenance defense-wide $27.9 billion to respond to the situation in Ukraine and for related expenses so this is a huge procurement bill which means buying stuff and I go on but i want to get to the Navy because the Navy has weapons procurement 706 million to respond to the situation in Ukraine because you know, the Navy's gotta be there

1:23:33 Other procurement, 26 million just in case you need it. Let's get to the submarines... Oh wait for the Air Force 3.2 billion dollars. Research and development! We need some research and development 18 million for who was that? To remain available to respond to the situation in Ukraine That's for the army The Navy gets 13 million for research and development And for testing Air Force, 406 million. I mean this is bull crap! It's absolute bull crap but then they added the cool things down at the bottom here They got some nuclear stuff in there Oh here it is This-I love this title too Department of Energy Programs For an additional amount for science 98 million dollars It literally says science

1:24:27 In the bill, in quotes for an additional amount for science. What does that even mean? That's code! Science... If it's in quotes its code but what is code for something we don't know And then we go back to Department of Health and Human Services It could be hookers. No, I love it literally says science in quotes. Could be you're right could be hookers and blow Department of Health and Human Services, $481 million for refugee and entrant assistance activities. What? So a half-a-billion dollars to help more people come in?" Yeah that's the ones they're flying in." Yes! Yes precisely. All right we go down to... Oh then the president gets thirty nine million dollars to throw around for general expenses

CHAPTER 27 / 55 Discussion

ATACMS Missiles, Taiwan Submarines and NATO Allies

The legislation mandates the transfer of long-range ATACMS missiles to Ukraine, though the President retains the power to withhold them for national security reasons. Additionally, billions are earmarked for the procurement of Columbia-class and Virginia-class submarines to bolster defenses in Taiwan. The bill also expands the definition of allies to include "major non-NATO allies" in the Indo-Pacific region.

atacms· taiwan· submarines· nato· zelenskyy

1:25:19 Here, the economic support fund. This is the real money that is going to quote-unquote Ukraine 7.89 billion dollars But that is going into the Ukraine fund, you see. That's where everybody is gonna be sucking off of that money. The Freedom Support Act and CEED, the support for East European Democracy Act they put that money in there and then you go there with your little non-profit and that's where you get some money from And I'm sure Zelenskyi and all those guys get from that money Then they've got more loan guarantees that we put in there. This was fun, they changed some words around and so now money instead of going to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization NATO and its allies it now can go to North Atlantic Treaty Organization allies major non-NATO allies and the Indo Pacific region eight billion dollars

1:26:20 was 4 billion, they doubled it to 8 billion and now they can give it to anybody they want even a non-NATO ally. That's probably Taiwan I'm guessing Then on page 55 there was... I'm almost done here Page 55 there was something interesting where this is about the what do you call those? Attackums This is a big thing in the news the, that's the 300 mile army tactical missile systems. So yeah okay so this bill as soon as practical after the date of enactment of this division the president shall transfer long-range Army Tactical Missile Systems to the government of Ukraine that's the ATAKMS to assist the government of Ukraine in defending itself and achieving victory against the Russian Federation notification

1:27:22 If the president determines that executing the transfer of long-range army tactical missile systems to the government of Ukraine pursuant to subsection a would be detrimental to the national security interest of the United States, The President may withhold such transfer. So this is just they're just gonna hold this until you know because it's always going to be dangerous We'll see if they actually send them over and so then... They probably won't I don't think so either Okay, so then we go to the submarines. $1.9 billion to respond to the situation in Taiwan for operation and maintenance procurement of submarines We add to that 2.1 billion dollars for submarine bases

CHAPTER 28 / 55 Discussion

REPO Act, Seizing Russian Sovereign Assets

The "Rebuilding Economic Prosperity and Opportunities (REPO) for Ukrainians Act" authorizes the seizure of approximately $300 billion in frozen Russian sovereign assets. While most of these funds are held in Europe via Euroclear, the U.S. move signals a major shift in international finance. Russian officials have threatened retaliatory measures, including the confiscation of Western investments currently held in Russia.

repo act· russia· g7· euroclear· asset seizure

1:28:09 additional money, 1.9 billion for the Columbia class submarine and 200 million for the Virginia-class submarine so that's your pivot to the Indo Pacific and I'll skip everything else it's all marked up in the show notes but at the very bottom we have my favorite which is the Repo Act! The Repo Act this is Rebuilding Economic Prosperity and Opportunities for Ukraine Act. And this is where we get to take the Russian money, and so it's clearly spelled out there's 300 billion dollars of Russian money in the system 190 billion is in Belgium through Euroclear we have about I think 10 billion

1:29:03 Or 15 billion that is within within our purview and this authorizes the g7 countries We're good to go. We're taking the money we're stealing the Russian money Yeah, this is the end of our economic system I would agree it is the most insane thing I have ever seen and of course you know Putin Putin's like We also have prepared an answer, Speaker of Russian Upper House of Parliament says. We have a draft law which we are ready to consider immediately on retaliatory measures and the Europeans will lose more than we do." I bet you that's true! Yeah but what do you think they'll do?

1:29:48 Well, they can confiscate all the European and American investments in Russia. And there's definitely more than that minuscule amount for sure. That also cut out the oil guys who really... We are there. It could be it's a bad idea. You have your wars you're gonna have your kinetic wars and you can shoot at each other but Stealing money? Yes, surreptitiously stealing money where it's agreed upon that you don't do that because those systems are not based on just bull crap. They're solid they work for a reason and you mess with them this is no good this is the end of American hegemony this is gonna screw up everything if we go ahead with this stupid idea of stealing money in a system that secure

CHAPTER 29 / 55 Discussion

Industrial Base Investment, Mark Warner on Ukraine Aid

Senator Mark Warner emphasizes that 60% of the Ukraine aid package remains in the United States as an investment in the domestic industrial base. The funding is intended to ramp up production of artillery and missiles to replenish U.S. stockpiles. The hosts argue that this confirms the bill is primarily a domestic economic stimulus for war manufacturers rather than direct aid to the Ukrainian front lines.

mark warner· ukraine· defense industrial base· gdp· artillery

1:30:40 Here's two clips from CBS Face the Nation about these procurement bills, and they're even lying here. But it's okay. This Ukraine aid that finally has moved President Zelensky was on another network this morning and he said the U.S will send a signal with this that this will not be a second Afghanistan The US will stay with Ukraine As you know, I was a supporter of the defense supplemental. This is Senator Mark Warner and I think it's not just going to be important for Ukraine as you and I have talked about before It's gonna be really important for the industrial base of America which has atrophied dramatically 60% of this bill goes into building weapons everything from submarines too And many Republican districts too Which is surprising because it took so long to get through that

1:31:28 that of

1:32:04 delays, delays because they're scared of making Vladimir Putin mad. Yeah I think it'll make him real mad when they steal the money but that's why i think they put it in here that the president can still delay the attack-ems which is oh it's all about the attack-ems Let me see here. Senator, 61 billion in aid to Ukraine about 60% of that stays as an investment into the US industrial base as I understand it. The US industrial base? President Zelensky said this morning on another network It's important that they get crucial long-range artillery like attack comes Is that what this money will pay for and if so when will they actually get them These materials will be in transit

1:32:46 by the end of the week. And on that schedule, what it will do is it's clearly been the case that the Ukrainians morale has been great but it's undermined over the last couple months when they have literally given out rationed bullets eight to ten bullets a day and on artillery shells Russians 10-1 you can't underestimate that Ukrainians grit, determination. But if they don't have the materials- Yeah. They can't carry this fight to the Russians. Will they get those long range artillery? Yes. Not just ammunition. The ATACMs I believe the administration was prepared over the last couple of months to provide ATACMs it is written into this legislation

1:33:35 So, now I'll be the first to say that this is clearly supporting our GDP but we're not sending any of this to Ukraine. Now...I mean we have the stuff! We just didn't want to give it to them. What? Now we can send everything all at once? Oh now we got bullets! What because we made bullets overnight?! Nooo! The military, the defense industrial base which keeps our...what else do we make here? You make war stuff And a cyber truck, 4,000 cybertrucks. And jets! Well it's war stuff submarines these are big things you ever see that buildsubmarines.com on the sports fields? This is gonna be big business you want to get into business get into that business and what do the rest of the American people get we get Ukraine flags wave them wave them you idiots

CHAPTER 30 / 55 Discussion

Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Weapons Timeline and Victory

In an interview with NBC's Kristen Welker, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy discusses the urgent need for long-range weapons to turn the tide against Russia. Zelenskyy declines to provide a specific timeline for victory, stating that it depends entirely on the speed of weapon deliveries. He notes that Ukrainian forces have had to retreat in some areas due to a lack of equipment and a 10-to-1 disadvantage in artillery.

volodymyr zelenskyy· nbc news· kristen welker· artillery· military aid

1:34:23 Here's a Kristen Welker your buddy speaking with Zelensky Now is this it brother brother Volodymyr? Is this it you need more or can you win will this be it president Zelensky Can you give Americans a sense of the timeline will you still need as much aid This time next year, or do you think you can turn the corner on Russia. Yeah, what's the timeline I Well, it depends on how soon we get this aid. There are so many variables and factors. And sometimes when we protect the important line you retreat because you don't have enough forces and equipment and then retaking that line would take two or three times more. I'm not saying that this is

1:35:12 how it's going to end up but I would like us to be open and very very specific from the moment we get our hands on these weapons systems well from that moment we can talk about the timeline. We need three times more, that's what he's saying two or three time... hey! I just want to be open with you guys give me some credit I need 2-3 more There was an interesting little tidbit that came up on Face the Nation as they were talking about, you know this being a new Cold War. It's you know it's we're back now we have a cold war with Russia and with China these are short clips let's play these two because something interesting came up first here is who's David E Sanger? Who is this Jamoke

CHAPTER 31 / 55 Discussion

New Cold War, Microsoft and Amazon Intelligence

New York Times reporter David Sanger describes a "New Cold War" involving an "axis of resistance" between Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea. Sanger reveals that Microsoft engineers were the first to detect Russian malware in Ukrainian systems before the 2022 invasion. The hosts suggest that the integration of Microsoft, Amazon Cloud, and Starlink into Ukraine's defense demonstrates that these tech giants are effectively branches of the U.S. intelligence services.

david sanger· microsoft· amazon· starlink· cyber warfare

1:36:05 Sanger, that's the guy who was in New York Times. Oh, sweet. The New York Times guy. He is a reporter. Oh okay. The new Cold Wars are quite different Margaret we've got Russia and China coming together in periodic partnership I wouldn't say it's a full alliance We have other players like Iran and North Korea as you were discussing with our earlier guests supplying them, becoming sort of what the Iranians call an axis of resistance to the U.S., it is a far more volatile I think far more dangerous period than we had even then and yet as you point out our ability to discuss it as a nation has somewhat degraded You watch those Kennedy-Nixon debates

1:36:51 And put aside who was sweating and who looked young and vigorous, it was an incredibly sophisticated argument largely about nuclear deterrence. I'm afraid that we're not having that incredibly sophisticated argument today more than 60 years later If you believe that there is something of a new Iron Curtain coming down, a place where you're going to divide the US and NATO nations against China Russia Iran others. It's somewhere in that borderland between Ukraine and Russia. Demilitarized zone! There you go good job everybody you moved it up

1:37:30 into Ukraine, fantastic. But here's the kicker... The book opens with the days running up to the war in Ukraine and while there were certainly lots of indicators coming from American satellites and signals intelligence and so forth In the end, one of the key indicators that the Russians were getting ready to roll came from Microsoft. Whose engineers were noticing that malware had been placed by the Russians on Ukrainian government agencies were being activated and sent a notice through their channels, which ultimately went to the White House. At the end of the day what kept Ukraine running was some combination of Microsoft and Amazon moving all of their data to the cloud And then Elon Musk coming in providing Starlink so they could communicate to that cloud Incredible Something we never saw in the old Cold Wars

1:38:29 Yeah, I read that as Microsoft Amazon and Starlink are all part of the intelligence services and spying on everybody in everything They didn't the engineers notice some spyware was activated. Please yeah, I agree Totally but I agree with this Nonsense said all of a sudden I mean first one thing if the spywares there Get rid of it. Yeah, run that antivirus. Don't watch it and wait for to be activated. Oh look! It's just been activated by Hunter 5 people come on run it probably do it all the all it takes but wow this is such a this whole thing in meanwhile you know we're being spied on by our own intelligence services We got net neutrality to block any kind of private communications we want to have

CHAPTER 32 / 55 Discussion

TikTok Divestiture Bill, National Security Concerns

Congress has passed a bill requiring ByteDance to sell TikTok to an American owner within a year or face a ban in the United States. Lawmakers cite concerns that the Chinese government could use the app for propaganda or to access the private data of 170 million American users. Former Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin has expressed interest in forming an investor group to purchase the platform.

tiktok· bytedance· steve mnuchin· first amendment· china

1:39:26 It's I mean and obviously what are we all doing? I'm scrolling on tick-tock. Oh, I'm sorry tick tock tick tock click clock talks Tickin talk talk Scott McFarland has got the latest on that possible ban on tick-tocks Scott What do we know Tony tick-tock is now on the clock They have a year to be sold or digested by their China based owner or face the prospect of a bad in the United States within that year, shutting down access to 170 million American users and millions of small businesses. In a Congress that seemingly can't agree on anything this passed with overwhelming bipartisan support amid concerns China could use TikTok to exploit and access private Americans information

1:40:08 One lawmaker called it a spy balloon in your phone. Another said it's a possible tool for propaganda, A big issue as we enter an election season TikTok has indicated they will challenge this in the courts and file a lawsuit They argue this is an infringement of First Amendment rights But Tony President Biden is expected to sign this bill into law today It's great! Of course its not gonna go away It'll just be TikTok with USA inside Steve Mnuchin Speaking of tick-tock and I gonna let him get it. Oh someone's got you know, it's gonna be it'll be Google Yeah, he'll be something like that because if I'd already read that the Google and Microsoft is the best candidates ha although meta Their stock price took a dump yesterday even though they had reasonable earnings. I don't know That'll be back. That's just them. I Don't even know why they could occur in a glitch

CHAPTER 33 / 55 Discussion

Antony Blinken in China, Human Rights and Tech Bans

Secretary of State Antony Blinken is visiting China to discuss human rights and the potential TikTok ban. The State Department recently released a report documenting atrocities against the Uyghur population and the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners. Meanwhile, the "No Technology for Terror Act" is being introduced to further restrict the export of sensitive technology to foreign adversaries.

antony blinken· china· uyghurs· falun gong· technology for terror act

1:41:05 Did you say glitch? It's a glitch. Zuckerberg announced it, oh we're gonna invest in AI everyone went oh no! Dump that thing That may actually be the moment of the pivot The pivot to quantum So people stop paying attention to AI You don't have to say AI anymore I do have this clip about Blinkin is in China to talk about TikTok Yes yes I'm sure that's what he's talking about Here's your clip are stronger, and I want to make this current again and again. When our allies are stronger we are stronger." The package includes a separate measure that would force TikTok to divest from its Chinese parent company ByteDance or be banned on US app stores. TikTok has about a year to do so and that's because of data privacy concerns as the Chinese regime can access TikToks user data for any user that

1:41:55 uses TikTok in the world. At the same time, Antony Blinken, the Secretary of State is in China and among many other topics he'll be discussing with officials there are human rights. The state department released a human rights report documenting the atrocities and crimes against humanity still being committed by the Chinese regime today in China including those against Uyghurs and Falun Gong Falun Gong is a spiritual practice based on the principles of truthfulness, compassion and forbearance. Here's Vedant Patel, the Deputy Principal Spokesperson at the State Department. On the Secretary's visit to China he said that he would address human rights but on this report that came out Monday will you specifically address persecution of religious groups like Uyghurs and Falun Gong? And what have talks been like in the past?

1:42:40 So what I can say is that in every engagement that we have had with the People's Republic of China since the onset of this administration, human rights have always been on the agenda and they will continue to be so. And I've no doubt that human rights will be discussed this week while the secretary is there. There was some on the agenda. It just puts them on the agenda. There are some additional stuff that it wasn't just these so-called ticktock bill Which actually is 270 days for TikTok to bite dance, divest of TikTok to an American company. IE we're going to steal it from you the president can extend that three months after the enactment of this act

1:43:27 TikTok has to start making available all data, all video, all posts, all pictures in machine-readable format so that people can export that and download it. To import into Google and YouTube I presume but it also goes for any technology company the president deems I'm paraphrasing here, operated by a foreign and an adverse foreign entity if it has more than 1 million users. Except of course if you're a price comparison app or Amazon or ordering app or Airbnb that doesn't count but then they have this no technology for terror act

1:44:12 which is not discussed. I don't know if it's anything, but a foreign produced item shall be subject to the Export Administration regulations if the product... So I guess you can't import anything that is in general. A license shall be required to export re-export or in country transfer a foreign produced item from abroad that meets the product scope requirements described in subsection B Which is Bits and Bobs. I'm not, I don't understand that one yet but there's something coming You know Meta got kicked out of China So that would account for a stock drop Yeah That happened recently i think

EU TikTok Lite Probe, Gamified Attention

The European Commission has launched a probe into "TikTok Lite" under the Digital Services Act, comparing the app's reward system to cigarette addiction. The "Lite" version allows users to earn points for watching videos, which can be traded for gift cards. Brussels regulators have threatened to suspend the program in Europe unless ByteDance can prove it does not harm the mental health of children.

european union· tiktok lite· digital services act· addiction· brussels

1:45:07 Well, something's up. Nobody would... You know this whole idea the idealism of the internet is over Here here's a the EU not to be outdone hey hey we gotta get on that tick-tock bandwagon man I know, let's see if we can steal some money of our own. Grabbing your phone and scrolling through videos for hours on end it's a behavior that has become part of our daily lives and one which TikTok is seeking to encourage further through its new feature TikTok Lite The application reward program allows users to earn points for watching and interacting with content which they can then trade for gift cards on partner websites

1:45:48 A new way to gamify and monetize attention, which Brussels say could be as addictive as cigarettes. The European Commission on Monday launched a probe into TikTok Lite's impact on mental health especially for children in what it says could be a breach of the Digital Service Act It's given Chinese group ByteDance until Wednesday to argue its case or face being suspended from operating in Europe. Unless TikTok provides compelling proof of its safety, which it has failed to do until now we stand ready to trigger Digital Service Act interim measures including the suspension of the TikTok Lite Reward Programme

1:46:26 TikTok says it's already taken measures to limit addiction, including placing a cap on daily rewards and banning users under 18 from accessing the new feature. It remains to be seen whether these arguments will be enough to convince EU regulators that TikTok does enough to protect children I mean those guys are so genius those TikTok guys They actually did one of those things that everybody said you know well one day You'll get paid for your attention And they're doing it Hey, watch this ad. We'll give you some points, some TikTok points. This is not a new phenomenon. This has been tried and tried over the years since even beginning before our show which was long time ago

1:47:09 There were all these efforts to do this and do that, and you get points. And there's games, there was all kinds of games where you'd get a weapon if you followed through on some certain things. You can get an extra weapon. A weapon yes? Or you could buy the weapon on eBay. And it was all that nobody complained and now they've managed to do a better job. All they're doing is better... Better! Is better than what has been attempted so far. So they're punished for it. This reminds me of the early days of personal computer technology in the 70s, let's say. When oh everything is going to be electronic! All books will be available electronically and there'll be a giant library with all knowledge will be accumulated and you'll be able to look it up and find anything you want. And once they started doing that

Spotify Audiobook Loophole, Artist Royalties

Spotify has reportedly found a legal loophole by bundling audiobooks with its music streaming service. By reclassifying itself as a "bundle" provider, the company is able to pay music artists 25% less in royalties. This strategic move has led to a bump in Spotify's stock price as its content acquisition costs decrease at the expense of creators.

spotify· audiobooks· royalties· music industry· bundling

1:48:03 They're bitching and moaning about it. Oh no, copyright! No they copied my book you know old out of print book Nobody reads anymore nobody cares hey audio books the audiobooks I wanted to tell you because i was listening a bit of DH Unplugged which you can listen to on Tuesday's they do it live is at 9 Eastern And it goes out. Yes, it's six o'clock West Coast time. Coming up on episode 700! Help those guys out. The reason why Spotify got the bump this is a great story they you know they added audiobooks and because they have audio books there's some law or some I would call them loophole in the law

1:48:49 that they now are not just providing music, forget the podcast part for a moment. They're not just providing music but they're providing a bundle which means they can give the artists 25% less money That's why their cost just went down by 25 percent because each user that actually pays or there is money coming in from ads they have to give less to the artist because they are now a bundle company instead of just a music company That's why. What? Yeah! I missed that one It was beautiful, isn't it? Genius Those Swedes man And we're bitching about TikTok Yeah, yeah Spotify people should be the ones that are excoriated just stealing from the poor creators I refrain from comment Well speaking of guns you said something about you win a weapon

YouTube Ghost Gun Algorithm, Alvin Bragg Complaint

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has sent a letter to the CEO of YouTube regarding algorithms that allegedly promote "ghost gun" assembly videos to minors. Bragg claims that youth interested in gaming are being funneled toward instructional videos on building illegal firearms. The DA's office is calling for stricter enforcement of YouTube's existing policies against such content.

alvin bragg· youtube· ghost guns· algorithm· manhattan da

1:49:46 New York is now off their rocker, but apparently it's YouTube algorithm now under fire. Strong words tonight from the District Attorney of Manhattan aimed at YouTube for an algorithm that promotes video showing kids high to build an illegal fire. They're calling it games to guns and law enforcement believes YouTube isn't doing anything to stop it, even though its already against the company's policy. DA Alvin Bragg reached out to the CEO of YouTube about those guns on the streets in New York City. Talk about gun insanity. Here is Iowa News reporter Darla Miles. All you need is a computer

1:50:24 and an interest in gaming, you can go from games to guns in 15 minutes. Here we see investigators conducting a call of duty search on YouTube that with just a few clicks can lead to videos about how to assemble guns that in real life kill people This is an algorithm that is driving people, in particular our youth, with a few clicks from watching the video game to being able to build guns walking around with ghost guns in our street and then in our office because we've charged them for crime. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and senior leadership of city ghost gun enforcement calling out YouTube Wednesday afternoon the DA sending this letter to the CEO of YouTube about instructional videos on how to assemble a ghost gun being actively pushed by YouTube's algorithms to minors who begin watching clips of video games

1:51:16 Well, there you go. They've got a ghost gun department in New York. I like it! Yeah? But I don't like what New York's doing but I like the idea that they can go on YouTube and figure out how to put together a ghost gun. That's cool for YouTube. I have one clip I wanted to play which is one of those anything you see on C-SPAN anything that is done in Senate in these hearings It's all showboating. It's all like look at me look at me. I'm Representative Waltz And I'm holding the Air Force to account This bag of bushings stamped out by machinists don't need a high school diploma. It's not anything high tech about this, all of this bag is compliant with the FAA specifications how much do you think the Air Force

1:52:02 pays for this bag of bushings? I don't know, Congressman. $90,000. This is a $90,000 bag of bushing that you need for any jet turbine engine. just to operate. So the exorbitant cost due to DOD only buying commercial parts from the OEMs, which is essentially sole source, it's literally driving us out of business. I mean, the interest on our debt alone is now exceeding for the first time in American history The entire defense budget. We can't afford it anymore. Oh, oh, it costs a hundred bucks that bag of brushes and we're paying 90... Bushings, not brushes. And we're paying $90,000 for it! Yeah you know this is nothing new but if you want to talk about showboating I have two clips by the King John Kennedy

CHAPTER 37 / 55 Discussion

John Kennedy vs. Zorka Milin, Tax Cheat Allegations

Senator John Kennedy grilled Zorka Milin of the FACT Coalition during a hearing on corporate tax avoidance. Kennedy repeatedly pressed Milin to name specific American corporations she considers "tax cheats," leading to a circular exchange where she cited Apple and Microsoft but hesitated to use the word "cheat." The hosts mock the "showboating" nature of the hearing and note that Milin's own organization is behind on its tax filings.

john kennedy· zorka milin· fact coalition· irs· tax avoidance

1:53:01 who I realized is a ridiculous showboater. Yeah, he's funny though He's very funny and he should have his own channel on YouTube because there are probably 1000 videos of him badgering witnesses And he does the best job because what he does is first he gets you to admit that you're an expert... ...and then he starts asking questions that you can't answer And then he doesn't understand, well you can answer since you're an expert. Then he keeps asking the same question over and over to humiliate these people but I kind of admire who he humiliates because in this case it's this woman Zorkin Millon who is some sort of a consultant to the government

1:53:46 social truth justice warrior who happens to know something about tax law. And so he brings her on just to get her to answer a couple of simple questions and I take his side on this but at the same time realize that John Kennedy is more of a kind of a showman in the way he does this. But it's enjoyable, I think it's a good break for us especially after analyzing legislation so here we go. Ms Mellon is your expertise and area Mr Bunn made this distinction? Is your expertise an area

1:54:24 tax avoidance or tax evasion, or both? I would say both. There are situations where the lines might get blurry especially on the corporate side but in my... It's both? In short it's both Do you believe that there are major American corporations that are cheating on their taxes? I think yes, there are cases where the transfer pricing regulations are not being followed and Mr. Curry's testimony speaks to that. Who are they? Name the five American corporations that are the biggest tax cheats Maybe I should mention that she is from The Fact Coalition and I believe... And elsewhere

1:55:10 I believe these are the people who want a global tax. Am i correct in assuming that? You might be right but the bigger question is who names their daughter Zorkan? Well this, this is this is a question for the IRS it's their job to enforce the laws so... That's a pretty serious allegation you made there and I'm just asking you they are There are cases pending against a number of companies until those cases conclude. Who do you think they are? You're an expert in this area, I'm just asking you...You've talked a lot and have read some of your writings about American corporations cheating on their taxes. I'm just asking who they are! I wouldn't use the word cheating. I think that they are taking advantage of the gray zone.

1:55:57 I'm sorry. You used it in your testimony, I'm just not trying to trick you. I just want to know that you have been very vociferous and saying that American companies are cheating. Okay, America you're entitled to your opinion but you're an expert just tell me who they are? I stand by that i think there is evidence to suggest that some of these companies in the IRS has pursued cases against a number of companies Who are they though? That Mr Curtis has analyzed including Apple and Microsoft Is Apple tax cheat? I wouldn't say tax cheat I think thats putting it too strongly And I didn't use that word Then who are they

1:56:36 So she's Serbian by birth, so that's why her name is Zorka. Zorka the Serb surely you've heard of her And she, yeah. Zorka. So he just gets... He has her dangling and so I hate to play these clips because they're pretty long but it's just fun to watch because there is a style that anyone can adopt if you've ever done testimony or especially with the government It's just a hone in on some weakness and just keep hounding a person who refuses really. It is just to show a showboater herself because she can't name anybody here we go. I wouldn't say tax sheets, but I think they are

1:57:26 crossing the legal lines that have been set by Congress and by the IRS in their relevant regulations. And because the IRS is outgunned, they're not able to enforce them. Outgunned? They got 80 thousand more positions to fill and the money for it! Do you believe that there are major American corporations cheating on their taxes? Coming very close to crossing the line and it's difficult for IRS that is outgunned to enforce the line. Are they crossing the line or not? Well, it's up to the IRS to enforce a line if they don't have the resources. You're an expert! I think there's a good case to be made that yes They are crossing the line. Yes Who are they? That's up to the courts and the IRS to determine you You've made this allegation but she doesn't want to say who they are How do...I mean

1:58:18 You know who they are, you just don't want to tell us. I think that's been explained by Mr Curtis in his analysis No i'm asking you to explain it. You talk about tax cheats and i'm just asking who they are And you dont wanna tell us? It's it's again I think it's for the IRS to enforce. Humana humana. And we need to make sure that the IRS is properly... Well do you have a list of these tax sheets? No, no okay have you been to the IRS and said here are these companies and they're cheating on their taxes and I can show you how they're doing it No, I'm not. That's that's that's not a...I've never practiced in that area of law. All you've done is run around saying American companies are cheating on their taxes! I can't tell you who they are and haven't been to the IRS to show my data to the IRS

1:59:09 But I want you to believe me that they're cheating on their taxes. She should have said, but Mr Senator snitches get stitches don't you know that? Is that your testimony today? No senator no. Sure sounds like it. No i think that the case against some of these companies has been well documented in the public. Which companies? Let me ask you one because im going to run out of time tell me In the last 23 seconds here's your chance You believe they're major American corporations cheating on their tax. You just testified to that, I believe you told me yes? Tell me who they are. I think there are the companies that Mr Curtis discussed in his testimony. It includes some of the big tech companies. Who are the five worst? I don't have a ranking. I haven't looked into them. You understand it makes it hard to believe your allegations if he won't tell us who they are.

2:00:05 Talks cheap you ever heard that expression. Thank you, Mr Chairman That was good yeah I mean but this is this is schticky that's what he does Yeah the shtick here it gets old You can't listen to it all the time But every once in a while get some dummy up there who just swinging in the wind and he's just taking pot shots at her And it continues and it's just like they can't answer a question at all And it makes you wonder about the incompetence, basically of all these consultants and people that work within the government. She's a... this fact organization is a non-profit 5 1 C 3 they do about five million dollars a year and they have not filed their 2022 form 990. The tax cheat! So she's in default having done 2022 let alone 2023

CHAPTER 38 / 55 Discussion

Climate Emergency Powers, American Climate Corps

President Biden is reportedly considering declaring a "climate emergency," which would grant him executive powers to restrict fossil fuel exports and seize control of energy manufacturing. As part of this push, the administration has launched the "American Climate Corps," a program intended to train young people for green energy jobs. Critics compare the initiative to FDR-era programs and express concern over the potential for "COVID-like" emergency mandates.

joe biden· climate emergency· executive order· climate corps· fossil fuels

2:01:01 I'm going to move to climate change now the true biggest danger we have amongst us in our are crazy representative rented representatives who we have elected who are all all of them were all in on this. I doubt it's AIPAC funding it, but someone's funding this climate stuff and finally we have a little a little bit of it. We're going to turn up the corner and we're going to tell you what may be coming this is from CBS for some analysis, so we want to bring on Melissa Lott she's professor at Columbia University Climate School tell me what a climate emergency is and what that might entail? I don't know if you heard this but President Biden has alluded

2:01:43 to a climate emergency that he might be an executive order, a climate emergency. What that might entail? So we talk about the potential for the president to declare a climate emergency what it's saying is you know what there's a national emergency going on and I need extra powers to respond to it to protect the US This is a contentious decision. If it's made, this discussion has come up many times but if it is made then the president would have additional powers in the short term almost immediately and what might those powers look like and who would be the first to be nervous about new powers that President might have? In other words I mean would it be fossil fuel companies? How might that work out?

2:02:21 the American citizens should be worried about it. If Biden declares a climate emergency, we're in a state of emergency? That could be COVID-like powers! Could be anything he wants once you have emergency powers. It's just the beginning of the fun Yeah, so if the president does this he would have access to a lot of empowers I know what's being talked about is the ability to control how we're able to sell fossil fuels Are we able to actually send it different parts of the world now obviously? The countries their organizations that depend on those exports they would be concerned about it as with companies and But that's not all the president can do. The president could do a lot to bolster up the manufacturing, the production of clean energy technologies and combined with some other powers that he has or that it could take advantage of if he could move the needle when it comes to climate change an emissions so it's a mixed bag I will say when you talk to companies uncertainty is the worst

2:03:15 If I can plan around it, I'm happy. Even if it's maybe not the outcome that I wanted to be uncertain of is this going to happen? When might it happen and how might it be implemented as a stress point? Yeah, so stress point... Here's the best part! So yesterday he does an announcement and brings back Obama favorite because the first thing you do in emergency is get your brown shirts on the street Let me ask about the climate core How do you understand the Climate Corps and what it's supposed to do? It obviously echoes of FDR. Of Hitler... What are we getting from the Climate Corps, which the president discussed yesterday? Hello! We're from the Climate Corps! We're here to check your climate regulations in your house! How's your thermostat? What kind of car do you have? Yeah so the Climate Corps is trying to address or at least as an outsider, a professor at university when I'm studying it

2:04:06 trying to address a couple different things. One, we do not have the workforce that we need if we want to reduce emissions if you want to clean up pollution. We don't have people trained in different skills We don't have people to clean up pollution. What? What does that even mean, professor?" We don't have people trained in the different skill sets that we need and we need them very quickly if we're going to respond to climate change which is already happening and already affecting our health so as a result of that how do you train up those people at the same time show folks that there are opportunities for all different skill sets all different backgrounds to contribute positively in their communities in their states Everybody can join the Climate Corps. It's fun, kids! Join the Climate Corps and get a cool uniform with an armband! Yeah! These people are nuts. And this has got to be my favorite climate kook. This is a new climate kook. So...this is I think this could be spun into a new Y2K bonanza?

CHAPTER 39 / 55 Discussion

Y2K Retrospective, Economic Impact and Scams

The hosts reflect on the Y2K scare of the late 1990s, describing it as a massive scam that funneled billions of dollars to consultants. They recall the dire predictions of planes falling from the sky and the global banking system collapsing due to date-coding errors in COBOL and FORTRAN programs. They argue that the unnecessary spending on Y2K compliance contributed to the eventual dot-com market crash.

y2k· cobol· dot-com bubble· alex jones· computer programming

2:05:08 And of course we'll completely forget that Y2K. How about just for people who are too young to remember, you have to realize that in the year 2000 and leading up to the year 2000 we were told... Two-year ramp! Two-year ramp that it was over. The world was going to melt down. You want to summarize the Y2K issue for everybody? Yeah there was a Around, I think it was 97 but definitely by 98 someone had figured out that when the year 2000 comes around that old COBOL and other FORTRAN and other programs which are dominating some parts of businesses couldn't get the date right. When we flip to the year 2000 all of a sudden it would become 1900 or who knows what?

2:05:58 And because we go to 00 as opposed to 98, 99. Wouldn't it go like 1976 or something was going to reset some weird year? It was gonna reset the 1900's far as I remember but it was gonna reset to the wrong year and it was gonna screw up everything Because now nothing will work. Airplanes would fall out of the sky, banking wouldn't work. All the ATM machines are either just going dead or throwing money away. Money printing out of it. And the lights of the grid is gonna go down. By the way, Alex Jones was one of the top guys on this. Yeah and I still have some old clips from him going oh it's beginning! As you know their lights have gone out in Cleveland he was all over it Wait let me see do I have

2:06:50 Do we have something? I have Alex Jones on Joe Rogan wrong about Y2K. That's, that's... What is this Obama- So no, Alex was all he was major Y2K nut and but meanwhile what was going really happening was that the consultants were coming out of the woodwork They were printing! They worked! The money was- they were literally printing money and i knew a couple of them And I was, you know, skeptical from the beginning because it didn't make any sense to me that any of this stuff would happen because it just doesn't work that way. And I had a couple of greats...I used to give a lot of speeches and my Y2K speech was generally a mockery of all these predictions. Is this when your public speaking career ended around 2000? No actually it did drop off a bit because these speeches were quite popular

2:07:41 And, but it was like a big major deal and it ended up costing American businesses. billions of dollars in fees and fixes that weren't necessary, and everything in between. And auditing, and compliance auditing. And it contributed to the dot-com collapse and sunk the economy, and it really never recovered. When it finally recovered was 2007 2008 when you had a secondary situation where it was just folded. The economy just went under That was good times. It went down, so the economy was never the same based on the two

2:08:23 constructs of that, of the 99-2000 2001 era. That was the dot com collapse combined with the Y2K fiasco a scam and it we've never fully recovered from that down time. Wow! Things were much better in the 90's than they are today. Interesting and well...that's for sure And that was billions of dollars in 1999 dollars That's when a billion dollars meant something I mean, big difference in inflation. The Y2K is still an issue? Well we have a climate change related y2k issue on the horizon the guy who's pushing it in this clip is sketchy he's a professor but or I think he's a professor yeah he's a professor

CHAPTER 40 / 55 Discussion

Climate Change and Earth's Rotation, Leap Seconds

A study from the Scripps Institute of Oceanography suggests that melting polar ice is redistributing water weight and slowing the Earth's rotation. Researcher Duncan Agnew claims this may require the subtraction of a "leap second" from atomic clocks by 2029. The hosts dismiss the story as "climate kookery" designed to create a new Y2K-style panic regarding financial and satellite systems.

duncan agnew· scripps institute· global warming· leap second· atomic clocks

2:09:10 But he I think he's on to something. I think this could be played out People will actually buy this the more we see polar ice melt The more scientists tell us that climate change will have real-world effects on our lives melting glaciers likely mean rising sea levels threatening our coastlines But it also means less ice at the Earth's poles and more water weight spread around to other places, and that is leading to the Earth slowing down. Human activity has changed the rotation of the earth Not exactly like what happens when Superman flies around the Earth and reverses time in the movie, but enough to actually slow down the rotation of our planet. A rotation that's been speeding up slightly for decades. That trend slowed turned around and is now going in the other direction and that's all because of the effect of global warming

2:10:11 That's Duncan Agnew who runs a study out of San Diego Scripps Institute for Oceanography. His study says we may actually have to subtract the so-called leap second from our atomic clocks because of the slowing planet A move that would be painful for satellites, computers not to mention financial and energy systems that rely on precise timing. We've never had an 80 leap second before it's hard enough synchronizing computers when you add a second but nobody is prepared to do what's necessary when you have to have a negative second. Come on, man! I can see this one spinning out they could ramp this up They can ramp it up This is the one thing...I saw this and this guy he doesn't look right He looks like he's on the spectrum he's got some issues for sure It's okay that we have to add a leap second every few every so often i don't know what the frequency is

2:11:12 But now that it's gonna be subtracting one, this is going to cause nothing but havoc. Is what his theory is and its all because of global warming if we stopped at these problems wouldn't exist! Exactly And its like oh please How this became a news story these people on the networks they they really are giving us lousy Product this stinks. I mean we this is no good We keep saying four more years But we can't there may be no more news to deconstruct about that time because no one will want to hear it I mean, it's become so stupid. I mean what we got deconstruct Megyn Kelly What are we gonna do?

Peter McCullough vs. Brian Shapiro, Vaccine Safety Debate

Dr. Peter McCullough appeared on the "Occupy Democrats" podcast hosted by Brian Shapiro, leading to a contentious debate over COVID-19 vaccine safety. McCullough challenged Shapiro's claims that the vaccines saved millions of lives, citing data from the Cleveland Clinic and the UK's Norman Fenton regarding misclassification bias. The discussion covers the lack of reduction in transmission and the rising rates of myocarditis among vaccinated individuals.

peter mccullough· brian shapiro· covid-19 vaccine· myocarditis· cleveland clinic

2:11:56 I have a COVID stuff, COVID Vax. I thought it was funny. This is... Yeah okay, COVID Vax. Always funny because then i'll talk about heart failures always funny It's like this is McCullough on a podcast the Brian Shapiro Occupied Democrats Podcast and this is an example of some of the worst podcasting and types of questioning that anyone can imagine from any podcaster. It's as though we did the podcast as does, hey Adam would you agree with me that... Oh brother really is that what this is? You know what I mean? That style of leading the witness. Congressional testimony. Yeah leading the witness

2:12:43 All right, so I don't know why he's on this podcast or what he's got to do with it. But this guy is one of our top five McCullough is the man we trust. He's the man. He's the guy you listen to because and he doesn't put up with guffin So here we go Guff, talk about vaccines with you. Would you agree with me that the vaccines for COVID have done far more good for people in this country than not? There are so many people still that say COVID the vaccines have killed millions of people that all these professional athletes are dying of myocarditis when it's just not true. So would you agree with me that the vaccines have done far more good for people than bad? I have to be honest. I just did an interview the other day for a podcast

2:13:26 One of the unheard, uh, the union of the unwanted who by the way want you. They really want John C. LeMoyne... The union of the unwanted wants me! Go figure, and you know you get to like these long questions and like would you agree with me as I got this yeah this is very podcasty well what evidence it's bet wait it's bad podcasty and its stems from and I believe that it's it evolves from people listening in too many Senate hearings where the senator says, would you believe me? And they try to get beyond leading the witness. It's trying to pre-answer the question but I have this sense that this guy doesn't know who McCullough is because he's not going to get away with any of this. Well but the logical conclusion of what you just said there is that all of our elected representatives in Congress are in essence bad podcasters Exactly Far more good for people than bad Well what evidence do you have for that

2:14:26 What evidence do you have that all these people are dying of the vaccines? Well, let's just take safety first because we always discuss safety before efficacy. Would you agree with that? Sure sure yeah right so it doesn't matter how good a product is it has to be safe would you agree with that um I don't think there's any vaccination that's 100% foolproof safe you know that Okay, but it would have to have acceptable safety. Would you agree with that? It depends what your definition of acceptable safety is here. Oh brother! What's this guy a doctor?! What is he... Are you trying to torture us here? What are you doing with this? We're in a global pandemic where at one point we were losing 5,000 Americans per day so obviously these were extenuating circumstances but go ahead But what would be your definition of acceptable safety

2:15:15 Well, while I'm not a doctor and you are. These vaccinations are people are dropping dead left and right. And as you know, specifically on right wing media and right wing talk shows they claim that all these professional athletes are dying of myocarditis because of the vaccines when they don't even know if these people were vaccinated. They don't know their medical history frustrating for me, doctor because I believe the vaccine saved my life. I believe it saved my parents' life and in so many studies out there you know listen as you know this you can get COVID if your vaccinated it didn't give you a lesser chance of getting infected or giving to somebody else however you are in so many studies that I've seen and you could tell me if you disagree far less likely to get the effects of having to go into the ICU are possibly dying if you were vaccinated am I wrong? Yeah you're wrong

2:16:16 What is the name of this podcaster? It's the name... Yeah. Brian Shapiro? Yes, it's the Brian Shapiro Occupy Democrats podcast. I'm taking his license away! I'm removing his podcast license. So this is another example. This is a like the Kennedy stuff earlier an example of how to testify how to respond and how to deal with guys like this. This guy is so bigoted, and so now McCulloch just goes into it... We're gonna stick it to him! You're a doctor aren't you? Am I correct in assuming you're a doctor? And so um I just thought yeah

2:17:00 I just thought, actually had three of these. I thought there was only two but McCullough is...I don't know why he's on this podcast? I don't know what the point it is. He needs an agent like hey Pete Don't do podcasts like this but McCullough is irked and this guy is like a Tim Pool wannabe this podcaster. He's fast talker Tarra blah, blah, blah. But he's all I don't know where these podcasters come from. I don't get it personally and I be whatever you are. You listening to these things or how does how do you get? How do you acquire this? I acquire these things through sources. And here's the reason why the prospective randomized double blind placebo control clinical trials of the vaccines never showed a reduction in severity. They never showed a reduction in hospitalization and death

2:17:52 And what's come out over time is the virus has mutated to become a much milder virus. So as the vaccines were rolling out, we were being confronted with less mild virus. The other thing I mean, a less severe virus more mild. The other thing that happened is we learned how to treat the illness so we treated patients early And we avoided hospitalization and death. So the two major things that saved people's lives were having natural immunity from the first round of infection, and then early treatment. What happened with the vaccines? Remember, the vaccines came in late so we're already a year into pandemic. We've been treating people for a year. The vaccines come in late

2:18:36 And in a recent paper by Norman Fenton from the UK, he's shown that there was tremendous misclassification bias. So when they declared that there was a a epidemic of the unvaccinated. In fact, the hospitals weren't you know they had no idea who was vaccinated or not they didn't have connection to the CDC vaccine records they weren't going in the ICU and figuring out people on the ventilator who are vaccinated and who weren't in countries that actually did have the vaccine status like the UK They found far more vaccinated in the hospital on ventilators than dying than the unvaccinated

2:19:16 And in a paper by Shretha and colleagues from the Cleveland Clinic, the least the lowest risk workers that they have in 51000 workers are the unvaccinated. And with every single injection one is more and more likely to get COVID-19. So I presume this Tardcaster right away went Oh OK well guess I was wrong. Is that what happened? Not really. I mean he's upset with himself because he's convinced that the Vax saved him and his family Mm-hmm And no, I don't think anybody ever buys into the the McCullough narrative if they've already assigned I mean once in a while you see it on threads You'll see a bunch of people going up and down stop stop. You're on threads

CHAPTER 42 / 55 Discussion

VAERS Data, Excess Deaths and Vaccine Side Effects

Dr. McCullough cites CDC and VAERS data indicating over 18,000 reported deaths following COVID-19 vaccinations in the U.S., with an underreporting factor potentially as high as 30. The hosts discuss local reports of sudden deaths in Fredericksburg, Texas, and the growing public suspicion regarding vaccine-related heart failures. They argue that the unprecedented number of reports should have led to the vaccines being pulled from the market.

vaers· cdc· fda· excess deaths· fredericksburg

2:20:06 No, I meant threads. Oh! I didn't mean threads...I meant on-threads you in other words a bunch of you read some... On A thread yes Yeah, I got you. No, I'm sorry. You scared me! I don't even know how to get on threads But i don't know why you'd stop me anyway Well because you said-you read on threads and like what? You're on threads? Threads is a product. I thought you were on thread. No, a thread So you read it there every so often somebody goes out here. I got too many shots I get like set unit up the seven now right I think it's seven yeah Oh at least And it's the same useless shot, but they keep getting them. Yeah because they only last 60 days now according to the doctor. They didn't do anything with them a get go! You need to re-up? Get a boost! Alright should we just go into this last clip here from this guy? Now the deaths that have been reported after the vaccine are unprecedented

2:21:05 Our safety system for vaccines records on average, half the country takes vaccines in the United States before COVID. Records on average 150 deaths in a year on average. The COVID-19 vaccines roll out and as we sit here today Our CDC has verified 18,655 Americans dying after the vaccine. 1150 die on the same day they take the shot some die in a vaccine center 1200 died the next day Now, that's underreported by a factor in FDA testimony of about 30. We're looking as we sit here today at 550 thousand plus Americans have died after the vaccine. The same pattern is seen worldwide there are calls to pull these vaccines off the market they're so grossly unsafe because people die quickly after taking them

2:22:04 Yeah, we just had a young mom with three kids die here in Fredericksburg. Her husband finds her dead in the morning I mean this is happening at an unbel... and it's not everybody, thank God. No it's not! It's just a percentage but the numbers are high. And if you just stop taking the shot that might be a good idea. Of course no matter what happens when someone dies suddenly You can't help but think, Vax? And you don't want to ask Actually, that is becoming a problem. Because it's exactly right the first thing you think of

2:22:44 You know, because you hear somebody the guy's 33 is in perfect condition. She's in great shape. He was pumping iron drop dead from a you know just had whatever it was a lot of different things well let's just listen to some circumstantial evidence shall we? Circumstantial evidence from short little news report here I think from Chicago. Lourdes and Ben patients and their doctors are failing when it comes to heart care Heart failure rates are now on pace to wipe out prior gains. According to JAMA Cardiology, long-standing declines in heart failure are now reversing. Heart failure death rates declined from 1999 to 2005 then plateaued to 2012

U.S. Fertility Rates, Gig Economy and Immigration

CDC data shows that U.S. fertility rates have dropped to their lowest level in over a century, with fewer than 55 live births per 1,000 women in 2023. The hosts link this demographic shift to economic pressures and the Biden administration's border policies. They note that American gig workers are being displaced by illegal immigrants who use coordinated "phone cartels" to dominate delivery and ride-share apps.

cdc· fertility rate· birth rates· gig workers· immigration

2:24:20 that brought the fertility rate just below the previous low from 2020, which was 56 births for every thousand women. Well then there was another drop in births last year to less than 55 live births for every thousand women. Meanwhile, birds continue to shift also toe older mothers. So of course, the Biden administration's answer to this is open the borders let them all come in because we know that we need to suppress wages We need to keep those low, especially with interest rates so high as they are. It's a real problem for the financial institution and a lot of this is going on... You want to talk about, as we discussed in the opening, rants of people in their cars? You should look for Amazon drivers, Walmart drivers

2:25:09 They're ranting in their cars because they're not getting these jobs anymore, because it's Venezuelans and other illegal immigrants who have basically have cartels with phones. the ping and they answer it right away, and they got five other guys in a car. And they've got no licenses, they don't have insurance or anything like that. They don't have anything! They don't have anything to just drive around? Like the whole country's gypsy cabs... Yeah exactly. And you know they're taking away the gig workers gigs. So it's a real issue now of course you could call in the Curry Dvorak Consulting Group and say what can we do

CHAPTER 45 / 55 Discussion

Tennessee Parental Accountability Act, Juvenile Crime

The Tennessee legislature has passed the "Parental Accountability Act," which holds parents financially responsible for crimes committed by their children. After a first offense, parents can be fined $1,000 for each subsequent crime or be required to perform community service, such as picking up trash. Sheriff Floyd Bonner of Shelby County supports the measure as a way to curb the record-high rates of juvenile crime in Memphis.

2:26:49 Take it all the time. Take it every day! Actually, the ER doctor told me that there is some validity to this—that there are all kinds of other health benefits from the blood flow created by Viagra and I find that highly interesting. Take it every day. Got to do something with it. Hurry. What can you do? I have to pat myself on the back for early spotting of a trend And it's just beginning. This is gonna go on, this is the parents of criminals bill in Tennessee! Yeah you're right you did spot this early on and this is a thing. Parents might want to watch their children a little more closely tonight A bill passed in Tennessee will now hold parents partially responsible for crimes committed by their kids

2:27:42 Hello, I'm Greg Hurst. Hi, I'm Stephanie Scurlock. It comes as part of an effort to curb juvenile crime in Memphis and in the state. WRG's Ashley Paul joins us now live outside of 201 Poplar after speaking with Sheriff Floyd Bonner about this bill others that will soon become law. Ashley? Yeah, well it was just yesterday that Sheriff Bonner released a statement expressing concerns over the growing number of juveniles that are staying at the Youth Education and Prevention Center and tonight when we spoke with him he spoke with us about some of the efforts being made to curb that juvenile crime If we don't sound the alarm now, what's gonna happen this summer when the kids are out of school? 113 juveniles are spending the night at the Youth Education and Prevention Center tonight. A slight dip from the 118 that were there yesterday but uncomfortably close to the record high 125 since the center opened last summer is calling all parents to please please

2:28:40 Let's just take a look at our kids and what they're doing and who they're hanging out with. WREG sat down with Shelby County Sheriff Floyd Bonner today discussing these concerns, and the potential solution passed today in Nashville under the Parental Accountability Act after the first offense parents of juveniles who commit a crime will be required to pay $1,000 for each additional offense if they can't afford the fine they will be able to work it off through community service and I had to go along the interstate. Wow! And my friends, neighbors loved one saw me picking up trash because something that my son had done...I think i would pay a little bit more attention." Wow! Wait so what and the kid just sits back kicks back in is on TikTok? And the parents are now cleaning up the trash on the interstate?!

2:29:31 That would be the one of the issues. Yes, it was ultimate now this Bonner guy who sounds like this is southern dude is a big black man with a beautiful Southern Tennessee that's the Tennessee accent and issue sure absolute classic Tennessee accent and Except it's got a little more low notes Yeah But this is the beginning at the end for bad parents Wow. Well, and you think this will work? Yeah I think it will

2:30:08 And at what age is that stopped? The funny thing, it started with these white parents from the shooter. Right. I first saw it when... Yeah you said it! You said it's gonna be the black parents. But it wasn't from that. It was from a couple of years earlier and I said it then when there was a shooting, a student shooting in Lithuania or some foreign country and they arrested the parents And that was the, to me was the trigger. Did you? This is happening and it's gonna happen it's gonna take a while but it's gonna happen and the parents are going now finally have to be responsible for juvenile delinquency! It's their fault! Couple questions one will this only be up until age 18 I guess right? I think so yeah Can I just disown my child like... I don't know..I disowned this child not mine

Secret Service Altercation, Kamala Harris Detail

A female Secret Service agent on Vice President Kamala Harris's detail was removed from her post after acting erratically and assaulting a superior officer at a terminal. The agent reportedly threw menstrual pads at colleagues, mumbled to herself, and deleted apps from another agent's phone before being tackled and handcuffed. The hosts speculate on the underlying causes of the breakdown, including potential workplace fraternization.

kamala harris· secret service· terminal· mental lapse· assault

2:31:02 No. They can't do that? I don't think so, no. I don't know if you heard about this, but Secret Service agents on Vice President Kamala Harris' detail... They got into a fight! Yeah did you ever get- Did you research this and find out what the fight was about? Well yes. I did So this female Secret Service agent showed up at the terminal and was acting erratically grabbing another senior agent's personal phone And deleting applications on it

2:31:41 So she didn't like the apps for some reason. Oh, this involved a female agent? Oh it gets better! The other agent who was the shift leader was able to recover his phone and then acted as if nothing had happened but... ...the female agents bizarre behavior did not stop there she began mumbling to herself hiding behind curtains and then started throwing items at the other agents including menstrual pads telling him that he would need them later to save another agent and telling her peers that they were going to burn in hell and needed to listen to God. She then screamed at the special agent in charge, rattling off the names of female officers on the vice president's detail claiming they would show up and help her and allow her to continue working At that point other agents on the scene believed she was suffering from a mental lapse

2:32:30 And, if you think... and the senior officer approached to tell her she was relieved from the assignment. That's when she snapped entirely! She chest bumped and shoved her superior then tackled him and punched him The agents involved restraining her were especially concerned because she still had a gun in her holster They wrestled her to the ground took the gun cuffed her and removed her from the terminal This seems like there is more of story behind this one Yeah. What was, what apps were on his phone? Well obviously she was having an affair with someone This is what I'm thinking

2:33:06 And this is the patron or what is it? Fratner's a fret fraternization Freya fret. No, I can't get that one out fraternize You can't do that on the job But it happens anyway no matter whether you want to or not but you get this psychos. Yeah It's like remember than that was a NASA astronaut that did was kind of stalking some guy and she was sitting in her car, peeing in a bottle. No no she wore a diaper an adult diaper for 16 hours. That was the great story that was a good story ah the good old days yeah now you have these situations with unstable people so that was a great story hold on a second let me see psycho diaper

Bird Flu in Milk, PCR Testing Concerns

The FDA has detected fragments of the bird flu virus in samples of pasteurized grocery store milk, though officials maintain the supply is safe. The hosts express skepticism over the use of PCR testing to detect "remnants" of the virus, comparing it to the high-cycle testing used during the COVID-19 pandemic. They suggest the timing of the bird flu narrative may be a precursor to renewed pushes for mail-in voting.

bird flu· fda· pcr test· pasteurized milk· mail-in voting

2:33:55 The diaper lady. What? I don't think that's so old, they don't even have the story anymore Yeah, I guess Texas border clips Well hold on a second because i need to bring us up to speed on the bird flu and then we gotta take a break We're running late. Yeah, well bird flu because you know there's actually two clips is important because they are starting to scare us now all bird flu bird fluids in the milk it's in the mail this morning the FDA insists listen to the urgency of his voice the nation's milk supply is safe after fragments of the bird flu virus were found in some milk samples stopped have stopped a clip

2:34:37 Fragments. That's how do you get? How do you find fragments? Oh, I'm glad you asked according to the FDA remnants of bird flu were detected in symbols of pasteurized milk What we need is yeah Let me take you through this headline because for sure it's concerning and gonna get a lot of attention today part articles of the virus detected in grocery store milk is not really a surprise and I want to tell you why. Remember back in the COVID days with PCR testing people were testing positive weeks or even months after being infected? Why because that PCR detects particles of the virus, not the active live virus. Now you're okay you're full of crap Dr. Jen America's favorite doctor PCR test you can find anything you want as long as you spin up enough cycles that's what's going on here and just I'm just pointing this out because we have to be careful when they're using PCR which was never intended to be a test of anything according to the guy who invented the tests and died just before COVID kicked off

2:35:39 Yeah, this is... so this is why are they doing this? I don't know. I'm sure it has something to do with the bird flu. I don't like it! I don't like them bringing up this bird thing again. Well yeah, I got a note from one of our producers when our famous Duke producer says, oh I think they're just getting back to mail-in voting just before the election Why not?! Well, I think it's too late you can't pull this stunt now It's over. Well they may try... it was too late, there was a lead-in to mail in voting before There was a buildup it took awhile to propagandize the public The public is a little hardened against this They're not gonna go for this I hope not But you know look at all those kids on the college campus all wearing masks Oh bird flu

Tinfoil Hat Podcast, Value for Value Explanation

Sam Tripoli and his co-host on the "Tinfoil Hat" podcast are featured explaining the "Value for Value" model to their audience. They credit Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak for conceptualizing the system, which relies on "Time, Talent, and Treasure" instead of traditional advertising. The hosts express satisfaction that their model is being adopted by other independent creators to ensure self-sufficiency and avoid deplatforming.

sam tripoli· tinfoil hat· value for value· time talent treasure· podcasting

2:38:40 Now I want to talk about value for value, but i was actually surprised to hear the tinfoil hat podcast which you introduced us too. You introduced us to the tinfoil hat podcast so this you got Steve on here and Sam, Sam Tripoli the comedian who I called a sidekick Sam gets around, he's been on the Rogan Show a lot. He's got a special coming out and they discussed value for value and accredited us And would you like to hear them explain value for value? Yes, I'm all in. One of the things about being shadowbanned very early on and being demonetized on YouTube very early is that it forced me to figure out if i want to stick around here

2:39:30 you know, then I've got to have a model that is going to allow me to survive the obvious deplatformings that i'm going to face absolutely everywhere else. And so that's why do the value for value system So far so good right? This his experience of course we preempted all... We started to show... Oh yeah! We skipped middleman. You go through that bull crap. We don't want any of that stuff no. Explain that what is that So Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak, the guys from No Agenda... This is something that they conceptualized when they took the show full-time And it's based on recognition that the show you're watching or listening to has value

2:40:18 And that's gonna look different to absolutely everyone. And absolutely everyone is going to have a different level of value that they can contribute." I love, he really gets it! I mean i'm loving hearing this and I love the kind of stoner voice when he explains it So which of the two guys is this? This is Steve. Sam's in the background going, yeah! Explain it man. So what are things that you really need to make a show run? You need time, talent and treasure. Okay so that's the value for value system

2:40:54 There's some things that we need a hand with clips, promotion because I hate it. You know this requires time okay? Well if you have some time and you can do that please do that share the show throw clip whatever We've got to clip channel send it to us will put it on talent That's where making things overlaps too being able to book guests Being able to go out and have conversations that allow for other people to watch the show and stuff like that. Do you make music? We'd like to play it, that kind of thing. Talent, treasure... That's pretty obvious we have bills that we have to pay. We've got kids growing in life to eat all that kinda stuff so

2:41:35 If you don't have a lot of time, if there's things in the digital space that you're not great at but you do have some coin you're sitting on. Great! You know and whatever level of ability or comfortability you have participate because the only way this show happens is that way and what that ultimately means is I never work for an advertiser. I never worked for a sponsor and 100% self-sufficient. And if necessary, the show can go out in freaking USB drives and direct email and stuff like that.

2:42:19 I love it. Let's hope it doesn't come to that! No, we hope that doesn't come to that but well done boys over there tinfoil hat perfect explanation That is as good as anyone could do yes this Hits all the points It does makes everything clear and it's sincere That's a key Yes and after 17 years it's good to see someone else picking up on it It's been a while. With sincerity, the key... With sincerity yes. Which we said from the beginning I have at least that you need sincerity you're not asking for money insincerely No! We're not-no but it's the real deal I mean this is you want your show? Provide value back time talent treasure and since he was 24 years old

No Agenda Art, Dutch Artists and AI Critique

The hosts celebrate the 40th birthday of long-time producer Void Zero and review the latest artwork submissions for the show. They praise the "Dutch Masters" of the No Agenda community, such as Dame Kenny Ben, while critiquing the rise of "bland" AI-generated art. They emphasize that human creativity and "soul" are essential for the show's visual identity and encourage all producers to participate via the No Agenda Art Generator.

It's his birthday that's why he is on the list but he gets a special mention I mean Void Zero man just like it pawn him off like yeah it's Mark's birthday. Yeah, Void Zero. That guy! But first we need to thank one of our talented artists for bringing us the artwork for episode 1653 We titled that Twigs which is a new product formerly known as Vines That was a great bit by the way A lot of people thought that was very funny

2:43:57 It was a classic. Well, the twigs yeah is the classic Johnson's Warwick moment and Dame Kenny Ben comes in again with Uncle Joe Biden's uncle Finnegan with his leg sticking out of the cannibal pot Not everybody got it right away but if you know you know and it was well done And you actually remarked that between Dame Kenny Benn and Tonta Neal and of course Martin JJ and others, that the Dutch artists are really holding true to their legacy of being great artists. I mean these are the modern Van Gogh Rembrandts Vermeers... I don't know about that! What do you mean? This is Nightwatch level! Yeah, yeah, Quake, Milk Girl... With those people you just mentioned but it ended and there is a tradition in

2:44:56 in Holland of great artists. But doing cartoony show art for the No Agenda Show, it kind of demeans Vermeer I'd say a bit. What do you mean man? What do you mean? It's interesting that there is this...it's in the blood or something that allows us to weirdness especially on...I mean we're not at Dutch show! No no we're not And we do have three, at least three and maybe more Dutch artists that contribute winning art consistently. For years! For years and years

Yeah I think where I think your right but this is the pivot The pivot of AI There's nothing left, there's nothing left. It's not good it's not working and it's expensive and they're not saying anything about the amount of energy at cost to run these things. And there is none! No that's the key. And there's no model.

James Boyle in Champaign, Illinois. All he says is value for value and that's what he thinks the show is worth and we appreciate him. Yes thank you very much then we have something blue here which I shall open up that means we have a note this is from Sir Furr and Sir Furr donates $300 and oh I think he's going to change the title today let's see what he has to say note here Sir Furr

2:51:50 It's loading on my computer for some reason. Why is this taking so long? It's just a PDF, what's going- here we go. Uh... ITM John Adam! Switcheroo! Please credit Neil Jones Clip Custodian with this executive producership! Whoa hold on a second. Let me put that in clip Custodian Neil Jones. Wow, this is a very nice... A very nice gesture let's find out if he has any more to say I am suspending Oh! This is the switcheroo guy I'm suspending switcheroo donations from Mr Dana Brunetti Governor of El Dorado Sadly Mr Dana has hardened his heart so that John may never get a bit part hoping someday he might relent and at least let John have a free image and likeness scan

2:52:40 I'd go for that. Yeah, yeah he was really mad at me. Dana? Oh yeah you got into a beef! He's like you're all wrong Tesla cyber truck is great it's awesome you've fallen you've fallen for the M5M TikTok psyop It's not quite his voice, but yeah. Yeah and I said no he's a huge Tesla fan. I don't know why he lives out in the middle of nowhere but he is. He has a Cybertruck! When the apocalypse comes he's gonna be dead is the Cybertruck won't work, although he does it. He's got the right idea. I think he has like three or four Teslas. The way you do it is you hook them all together and you start to tow one Tesla, tow three Teslas and then you keep driving south and south until the Tesla drops dead and there's nothing you can do about it. You jump into next Tesla and drive some more until it drops dead then you have another Tesla. You jump into that. You can get across the country that way

2:53:39 He's smart that guy. Anyways he says, I became a bona fide Black Baron after Adams teeth fell out and he forgot to pronounce the title changes Wow! Black Baron is a rare title if not unique seems pretty cool i'm going to stick with this title while I continue to donate We have never approved... The peerage committee has never approved this title Are you not approving it now? Yeah, I'm just not approved. If you want to call yourself Black Baron that's fine but it's not official there are only black knights Well okay well i'm just looking at the official show prep information and uh... You're right he is no on there so he can't say that? He can't call himself that

2:54:26 He can, it's just not official? I mean he is a guy donating and he thinks that... You could put him on the list. No i'm not doing anything! I don't want to get my head chopped off by the peerage committee. The peerage committee does not have that power. Hey, he says I am going to stick with this title while I continue to donate. Good you stick with that. Okay well you can stick with the title all you want but your baron and actually what's gonna be a black earl Viscount he's gonna go on and up, up and up and be... I don't know. He says this leaves me free to bestow switcheroos on worthy producers? He says i'm looking at you Ashlyn Speed! How about that? That was cute. This is a good guy man.

CHAPTER 52 / 55 Discussion

Donor Roll Call, "Oen" and Fair Share Rhetoric

The hosts mock a clip of President Biden reading teleprompter cues aloud, calling him an "oen" (a Dutch term for a fool). They proceed to read the names of donors contributing at the $50 level and above, including Gaucho Woodworking and Brian Hummel. They reiterate that the show is produced by the listeners and thank the community for their continued support.

Good News, European Gull Screeching Champion

The show concludes with a "Good News" segment about nine-year-old Cooper Wallace from Chesterfield, who won the European Gull Screeching Competition in Belgium. Cooper, who began mimicking seagulls after one stole his sandwich, beat out adult competitors with a score of 92 out of 100. The hosts praise the boy for engaging in a creative hobby rather than "doom-scrolling" on social media.

Channeling the emotion of a hungry gull sealed the victory

3:15:10 No, you have not entered a parallel universe. This is the European Gull Screeching Competition and with the score of 92 out of 100, the now reigning junior champion Cooper Wallace from Chesterfield How you may ask did it all begin? Well cue our colleagues at this morning It was in Devon on Wollacombe Beach when one stole my ham sandwich and it went over my head and nipped my finger so we think its a spider-man effect that I'm Cooper beat off competition from many others, including from an adult group ensemble which entered as a colony. For Cooper's family it was an experience like no other.

3:16:01 day for me and like it was awesome. Sally Bedolf at TV News Well I love that these children are not scrolling on TikTok No, no they're not just doom-scrolling away They are getting out there doing something with their friends And I wonder how many dogs went nuts during that good news clip because that was quite interesting. Good news, always ends our broadcast day and we thank everybody in the troll room for being here once again We love you all trolls You're great Thank you to our artists Thank you everyone who sent us clips Boots on the ground

Dvorak We return on Sunday with another jam-packed episode to shrink your amygdala make you feel like you're in control of your world and remember

3:17:36 Just look at the ground if you feel dizzy it'll all go away Remember us at no agenda donations calm Dvorak org slash na until next time adios mofos a hui hui and such Well I see Ukraine's going far right And the Russians keep on bombing all night Biden isn't going nowhere Did you see him when he fell up the stairs?

3:18:12 Call me, steer the left of me. But to the right here I am stuck in the middle with Jews And I'm wondering what they're covering up Gates and patches, dams are covered in blood The fires that gave us Israel dead And then I'm Yeshua, but started waiting instead Come and steal the left of me Not to steal the right Here I am stuck in the middle with you Come and steal the left of me Not to steal the right Here I am stuck in the middle with you Come and steal the left of me Not to steal the right Here I am stuck in the middle with you

3:18:58 The U.S. Supreme Court today heard arguments in the most significant case on homelessness in decades A majority of the Supreme Court appeared to side with the local ordinances allowing cities to ban homeless people from sleeping or camping in public spaces These laws punish homeless people who have no other choice really but to sleep outside Your ordinance prohibits a single person who is homeless. And you don't have to have a tent, you don't have to have a camp These were people who had lived in Grants past their whole lives and went to high school there What a crisis homelessness has become in the state of California Your statute says that person cannot take himself can't take a blanket and sleep someplace Violating this ordinance means your homeless Homelessness is not something that you can do it's just something that you are We have nine times

3:19:46 more unsheltered homeless. In a tent on the Little League field, a dead body was found. Officials say they only cite or arrest homeless people when they refuse offers of shelter and only clear encampments if they are a public health issue. Sleeping in public is kind of like breathing in public. Crime increasing with the quality and condition of our cities deteriorating waste fires These laws help encourage people to accept available shelter People are dying on our streets Do the homeless have some constitutional protection from being criminalized? Unchecked growth of homeless encampments. The Biden administration who had filed an amicus brief in support of the homeless, that's why we see them all over on our parks and our sidewalks in front of businesses near schools. 650,000 nationwide isn't it a real issue here not moving people out of public spaces but actually dramatically increasing

3:20:43 the amount of housing that we have. I know a lot of people want to send blankets or water, just send your cash. Your statute says that person cannot take himself can't take a blanket and sleep someplace. I know a lot of people want to send blankets or water just send your cash That's right. TikTok. TikTok. TikTok. TikTok!

3:21:22 TikTok! TikTok! TikTok! TikTok! TikTok! TikTok! TikTok! That's right. TikTok! TikTok! TikTok! TikTok! Enjoy your free speech
