About this episode

The U.S. House of Representatives is advancing the Antisemitism Awareness Act, a move that critics like NYU professor Robert Cohen warn could criminalize political speech and campus protests. This legislative push coincides with a new international flotilla departing Istanbul to challenge the Israeli naval blockade of Gaza, fourteen years after the fatal Mavi Marmara incident. Meanwhile, student encampments at Columbia and George Washington University face increasing police intervention and suspensions as administrators struggle to manage escalating tensions.

Federal health officials report that H5N1 bird flu fragments have been detected in one-fifth of pasteurized milk samples across eight states, though the FDA maintains the commercial supply remains safe. In the tech sector, the FTC faces a legal challenge from the Chamber of Commerce over a new ban on non-compete agreements, a shift that could reshape trade secret protection for engineers at firms like Intel and AMD. Overseas, Ukraine has suspended consular services for military-aged men living abroad to bolster recruitment, while Secretary of State Antony Blinken met with Xi Jinping in Beijing to address China's support for the Russian defense industry.

Trillions of cicadas from two rare broods are emerging simultaneously across the American Midwest for the first time since 1803, creating noise levels comparable to a lawnmower. The amateur radio community mourns the closure of MFJ Enterprises after 52 years of production, marking a significant shift in hobbyist hardware. In a rare moment of levity, firefighters in Peachtree City, Georgia, successfully revived a 140-pound Newfoundland named Napoleon after rescuing him from a residential fire.

White House Correspondents' Dinner, Media Decline

The 2024 White House Correspondents' Dinner is characterized as a failing event for mainstream media and Hollywood elites. Comedian Colin Jost's performance is described as ineffective, while the presence of intelligence community figures like former CIA and FBI officials is noted. The gathering is framed as a "last gasp" for traditional media outlets that are losing public attention.

Fox News Leadership Changes, Brian Hoganson Memorial

Rupert Murdoch's departure from leadership at Fox News is highlighted alongside a joke about the New York Times' reliance on mobile games like Wordle for survival. A memorial tribute is paid to Brian Hoganson of Brownwood, Texas, a long-time supporter who passed away from spinal cord cancer shortly before receiving a ceremonial knighting ring.

fox news· rupert murdoch· brian hoganson· knighting· brownwood texas

05:18 It was kind of funny, but it didn't go over well. Which bombed too and it had either a lot to do with the fact that the Democrats don't have any writers that can write comedy or stand-up style comedy in this era but this is probably the funniest of the bits I thought because it brought in something you always like to bitch about and I thought it was at least moderately okay but this wasn't the tone of the whole event Fox News is here tonight. It's the end of an era Rupert Murdoch stepped down at Fox News, which is strange I didn't think there was a step down from Fox News Trump media is here Trump media Not at a table just screaming loudly in the corner to no one Wordle is here tonight

06:06 Sorry, sorry I meant the New York Times. I forgot they do stuff in addition to puzzles. I have to say it's not a great sign when the only thing keeping a print media company alive are games people play on their phones. Too chilling for you guys? Yeah that was the only smart... That even it was just embarrassing for everybody It's gotten so bad John that people don't even want to listen to our show anymore because we play mainstream media clips Yeah, I'm telling you. It's like a cancer! Yeah, I wonder what we're doing here? I saw the donations come in and I'm like okay short show Short show everybody! Short show today! Short sheet, short show yeah that's right short show And then when it's...I want to also throw out my condolences to Drew Kester her husband or no has her brother Brian Brian Hoganson

07:04 He was the guy who had spinal cord cancer, some weird cancer. Unfortunately that passed away just before he received his knighting ring on this sad day for the show and Brian was a great guy in Brownwood Texas you may have met him I think i probably did So there's that. That didn't brighten my spirits! No, he's not donating anymore that's for sure. Come on everybody come on it's supposed to lighten the mood a little bit but also I don't know about your email but we must be right over some kind of target because i'm getting flack from both sides um...

CHAPTER 03 / 60 Discussion

Campus Antisemitism Claims, Media Polarization

A debate emerges regarding the scale of antisemitism and the intimidation of Jewish students on American college campuses. Claims are made that right-wing media may be overstating certain incidents, while the hosts report receiving conflicting "flak" from both pro-Zionist and anti-Zionist listeners regarding their coverage of international control and influence.

antisemitism· campus protests· zionism· free speech· media bias

07:59 No anti-semitism? They're beating Jews up. They're doing this to the Jews. I mean, this one lady was so mad at me! then on the other side, clearly they are threatening you and your family that's why you're lying! You're purposely doing all this. You're purposely saying that America controls Israel and settled the other way around we all know we all know the Zionists control the world." And so I'm like okay... I got a couple of those. Yeah but there weren't- well you were the one who brought up

08:38 the concept that this Jewish, the intimidation of Jewish students on campus is overblown by mostly the right-wing media and so you would get that flak as I had didn't dive into that. Well I've got more coming. Let me just start with something that was amazing to me this morning We have a long memory for certain things. You skip over a period and you have way longer memory, but this one goes back to the days when we...

CHAPTER 04 / 60 Discussion

Gaza Freedom Flotilla, Mavi Marmara Anniversary

A new international coalition in Istanbul has organized a flotilla of three ships, including the Agdenis, to carry 5,000 metric tons of medical supplies and food to Gaza. This effort to break the Israeli naval blockade occurs 14 years after the Mavi Marmara incident, where an Israeli commando raid resulted in the deaths of 10 activists.

09:19 I mean people were still using BlackBerries, okay? The smartphones had been out for a couple of years. This is still from the Blackberry age which means that there was social media and Twitter was kind of there you know we had YouTube but it was very very early days and now it's like history repeating itself The flotilla is back. The Agdenis will lead the flotilla of three ships from Istanbul, carrying more than 5,000 metric tons of aid to Gaza including medical supplies and food. The flotilla is organized by a coalition of international and Turkish humanitarian groups They say it's not just about delivering aid but challenging what they describe as Israel's blockade on Gaza

10:07 They want Israel to allow aid to enter from Egypt. We hope to break the illegal naval blockade of Gaza that Israel has had on it for decades, we hope to certainly bring food medicines that are needed by the people of Gaza its a small drop in the bucket were calling for the border of Rafah to be opened where there's tons of food that's waiting. It has been 14 years since flotilla organizers last tried to break the blockade. The last time, Israeli commandos intercepted the Mavi Marmara – the vessel leading the flotilla. The raid led to deaths of 10 people.

10:48 Activists say they are aware of the dangers they face, but say the risk is worth taking considering the scale of humanitarian crisis. So right there 14 years ago this exact same thing happened they had the freedom flotilla now of course we didn't have Social media the way we have it now today. It was almost like a non of it was it was like Oh, it's shocking because the IDF they dropped people onto the on to the main ship And there were some gunfire and people got killed let's go back to episode 205 Nice so I got a couple more clips of you unless you have some funny well no I

CHAPTER 05 / 60 Discussion

Antisemitism Awareness Act, Free Speech Restrictions

The U.S. House of Representatives is moving toward legislation that would redefine antisemitic acts of harassment to include the denial of Jewish self-determination. Critics, including NYU professor Robert Cohen, argue that such measures and the pressure on university presidents threaten academic freedom and the First Amendment by equating certain protest chants with illegal acts.

antisemitism awareness act· house of representatives· free speech· mike johnson· first amendment

11:31 I don't want to get to the end of the show and not having at least discussed the flotilla incident. all right yeah we have to talk about that so let's do it right now yes so let's get out of the way okay so here's what i'm seeing I'm seeing that Turkey is getting a little bit too cozy with Iran mainly and so this seems to be like a pre-emptive type of strike. Uh, I was listening to the BBC The Turkish... Turkish... Turkish ship uh from people on board that I heard on the BBC admit that they set sail to break the blockade, to be provocative. So you know it's like they set out to be provocative and they got... They were! ...I guess what they were hoping to get. Exactly. Provocative

12:28 So we're witnessing the same thing all over again. If you listen to episode 205, it was all about pipelines, all about oil, all about gas offshore... It's the same thing but no! No, no. Oh no! It's anti-Semitism we've got to stop the anti-Semitism everywhere it's horrible and by the way when someone says I hate Zionists or I hate Jews fine call it anti-semitism it's also free speech And that's ending they've played both sides on this Played him because now we got the legislation coming first. Here's Robert Cohen professor of history at NYU you have The donors threatening them Congress threatening them So there's a lot of pressure they could lose their job if the president Harvard loses her job Because it would seen as an inadequately repressive, you know policing of these demonstrations then anybody could lose their job

13:25 And what's dangerous about that is who is going to protect free speech and academic freedom if the college and university presidents are under this pressure, and are afraid? Given Congress' hostility to these demonstrations which are equated with terrorism and Hamas sympathizers and anti-Semitism. That they want these demonstrations to be suppressed I didn't see any anti-Semitic incidents and I'm Jewish. I was on the, well...I was there for a while and it was kind of welcome so So..I only have two more clips i just want to get this out of my system. Now they're coming up with Anti-semitism legislation which is an inherent restriction on free speech And while everyone's fighting they're going to start passing stuff that's not Hello Australia! Hello EU! Hello UK America is close behind Just next week On The House Capitol

14:18 is is redefine what it means to be incorporated into anti-semitic acts of harassment. The definition would change to include denying Jewish self determination to their ancestral homeland of Israel and also holding Jews collectively responsible for actions of the government of Israel so in real terms what that means is certain protest chants that we're hearing across

15:06 to So here it comes, just as I said.

CHAPTER 06 / 60 Discussion

Federal Antisemitism Strategy, Global Speech Monitoring

Senator Jackie Rosen is leading a bipartisan effort to create a federal strategic advisor to the President focused on combating antisemitism across agencies and online platforms. Comparisons are drawn to strict speech enforcement in the UK and Canada, suggesting that similar monitoring of digital content is imminent in the United States.

15:55 So I think maybe one of the reasons donations is down because you and I both don't do this enough, which is that's clip of the day. Oh wow! Thank you. Oh wow donation shot up Oh wow, groovy. Now MSNBC went into a little bit of detail key words coming up Well this bill would do a lot and it really is a monumental piece of legislation from my bipartisan group in the House and the Senate led by Jackie Rosen she is one of the first Jewish women to serve in the Senate so certainly this has symbolic meaning for her but this bill would create a point person essentially a strategic advisor to the president of any administration that doesn't just tap

16:38 out with President Biden. It's supposed to be a role in which this person advises interagencies, has coordination not only with the federal government but also the Department of Education for example when it comes to anti-Semitism in higher education also coming out with a strategy and implementing that plan online as well. Chris nine in ten Jewish Americans feel like anti-semitism is the highest it's ever been. That's according to a new Pew Research poll from last week, this is something that of course has bubbled over after the October 7th Hamas attack on Israel and Israel's invasion of Gaza since that has claimed many lives." Okay so there it is... It was spun up by the mainstream media now it's worse than ever yeah! Yeah well here's the point online as well

17:29 I don't know if people have been watching what's happening in the UK, but if you go on Facebook or Instagram or X and you say oh your dumb tranny. Did you say x? You say hey you dumb tranny! You get arrested You get arrested. This is true, this is coming here in England and Canada's going to be this way if it isn't already in Australia for sure so while everybody's all upset about who's to blame and you know meanwhile Mike Johnson has been captured

18:06 And we're all fighting and they're dividing, and they're going to actually shut down your speech. And no one is standing up and going hold on a second... No! I have the right to say whatever i want about an Arab, Jew, Muslim or Christian. Whatever That's the right that we have inherent in this country, in our country. And we're letting it just... Oh! We're all arguing about other Zionists. Oh no! It is horrible and the Palestinians are so bad." Go ahead go ahead I'm... Hey listen look

18:45 Tina can take her Social Security in two months. I'm only two years away! I'm good, I'm good. I want to sit back and do something else but it's all gonna shut down if we don't pay attention. There you go. That was good. Yeah thanks let me see It's pathetic. No, it's super pathetic and meanwhile this is being used everywhere! And you know this is also what when you saw that correspondence dinner which I think you rightly point out was been taken over by spooks totally and so it's not funny because of all the things...I mean we have no qualms with the intelligence agencies as we try to figure out what they're up to

CHAPTER 07 / 60 Discussion

College Humor Magazines, Political Correctness

The decline of traditional college humor magazines, such as the California Pelican and Harvard Lampoon, is attributed to the rise of political correctness starting in the late 1970s. The current landscape of satire is described as limited, with outlets like The Onion struggling while the Babylon Bee remains one of the few active players in the space.

california pelican· harvard lampoon· the onion· babylon bee· satire

19:35 But they're largely humorless. And they're not good at humor, that's true They are not funny guys and so you see this correspondence dinner and there is nothing funny going on the material thats written for Biden was I would call it the only way to put it chicken shit It was weak! but it was also chicken shit he might as well be doing farting in court jokes And I was thinking about that, and I was going through some stuff. And I realized one of the things that's disappeared and it kind of disappeared in the...I guess during the Clinton administration when political correctness really started taking hold which is in the late 70s in fact. College humor magazines have all disappeared!

20:28 I used to be the joke editor for the California Pelican. And the California Pelican went out of business in 1980 something, and all the college humor magazines went out of business and one of things you did as a joke editor is you looked at all the other college magazines and stole their jokes and put it in yours. It was just basically stealing material. I can still remember number of jokes I stole But there's none left. I mean, the Harvard Lampoon, I think was the last one and it became kind of semi... No now we have not the Babylon Bee that's all that's left Yeah even The Onion can't perform Nope Now but listen to this 2010 We had this exact same argument

CHAPTER 08 / 60 Discussion

Anti-Bullying Laws, Historical Precedents for Censorship

A 2011 executive order by Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton forming a task force on bullying is cited as a precursor to modern speech restrictions. The argument is made that "emotional torture" and "harassment" were terms used to establish a framework for monitoring student behavior, which has now evolved into broader internet monitoring.

governor mark dayton· minnesota· bullying laws· censorship· social engineering

21:20 Even though it was really about defense industrial base, resources who controls energy in the world. That was 2010 what happened in 2011? I just looked it up bullying laws remember the bullying laws this is what started all off Bullying. Oh, we had to have a task force! Because Minnesota has one of the weakest bullying laws in the nation Governor Dayton today announced a task force to recommend changes You know witness that children in Minnesota are being subjected to A form of harassment, a form of emotional torture Emotional torture And people in authority are not responding and not preventing that and acting upon it

22:03 It's just something that is so un-Minnesotan, it's hard to fathom. The Governor's executive order forms a task force of no more than 15 people including the Commissioners of Education and Public Safety. Its to make its recommendations to the governor no later than next August 1st but one of the challenges is engaging kids themselves At the bullying hotline and website at the Pacers Center in Bloomington, counselors say one of the number one reasons kids don't report bullying is because they're afraid they'll be next. If you look at our clip list there's 50... that was from 2011 This is how they do it?

22:42 It's a repeat of history, a repeat. And as Churchill said those who do not learn from history are doomed and bound to repeat it and here we go. Here we go! So but now what's going to be a little more interesting particularly since the president can determine any app that is you know has foreign interest can be shut down illegal or Non-legal traffic can be shut down by your ISP thanks to the FCC vote. Everything is going to be monitored." Yes, I do in fact...I think I have a clip on the passage of this thing. We talked about it on the last show. They were voting on it last Thursday. Neutrality as back clip! Oh yeah here we go

CHAPTER 09 / 60 Discussion

FCC Net Neutrality Vote, Broadband Reclassification

The FCC has voted to restore net neutrality rules, reclassifying broadband as a public utility under Title II. While proponents argue this prevents ISPs from favoring specific content, skeptics suggest the "safe and fast" internet branding is a cover for increased government regulatory power and the potential blocking of decentralized content.

fcc· net neutrality· broadband· internet service providers· public utility

23:29 The FCC is promising a safe, fast and reliable internet for all after it voted to restore its regulatory power over Internet service providers. And here's Emma Bollman, Tasmore. This week the FCC passed a measure to reclassify broadband as a public utility like water or electricity deeming it an essential service this effectively restores the Obama era net neutrality rules that were rolled back under President Trump Net neutrality means broadband companies like Comcast and AT&T can't deliberately slow down internet speeds for customers. There's no pay to play for faster speeds, and no favoritism for certain content which could stifle competition from services such as Netflix or Spotify. Telecom companies are expected to sue the FCC they argue the rules are government overreach and try to solve a problem that doesn't exist. Oh yeah don't worry they're gonna solve problems again in block tour exit nodes

24:25 It's all coming. I want to... I like the use of the word safe, you get to safe and fast but not safe and effective but safe and fast We don't want safe What is safe? What does that mean? Safe means no pesky podcasts Actually we'll be the last to go because we've decentralized that enough But Rumble YouTube everything will be safe Like AOL AOL was safe It was safe and effective. TRT, Turkish Radio Television had a reasonable overview of what are effectively Black Lives Matter protests part two which are now worldwide of course being used for different means and they don't have to go after free speech in the UK anymore yeah they're already they already tamped that down with the Digital Services Act

CHAPTER 10 / 60 Discussion

University Encampments, George Washington University Protests

Student solidarity encampments for Gaza have spread to George Washington University and Columbia University, leading to suspensions and arrests. While some institutions like UC Berkeley have allowed protests to continue without police intervention, others have seen escalations that critics attribute to inexperienced university management and outside agitators.

george washington university· columbia university· uc berkeley· student protests· police intervention

25:23 So, you know you're already screwed if you want to say speak your mind in the UK. Here's an overview... The push for Palestinian freedom We want justice, you say huh? Student solidarity has grown at George Washington University despite police penning protesters in. Student Salina Al-Shehabi camped out since Tuesday has been part of negotiations with the university. GW's response administration responses I love these kids who've been chanting so much that their voices are shot all over the place Part of negotiations with the university

26:01 GW's response, administration responses they kind of just want us out. It is clear by their deployment of police trying to barricade us in They've already suspended seven students it is clear they don't want to listen to students they just want to kick us out shut us down and that is disgusting Professors like Barbara Wien have been joining student every day to show their support The students are the teachers Oh yeah oh yeah this here it is Get your pronouns ready lady, because the students are the teachers. Students are the teachers and they're the conscience of the country They're the moral compass. They're the moral barometer. The student-led protests have sped quickly in the last week with encampments springing up at dozens of universities Their demands follow a common theme for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza

26:54 and for institutions like this one to cut ties with firms supporting Israel that protesters say are complicit in the bloodshed. However, hundreds of arrests have turned some colleges into battlegrounds between police and protesters Other than saying I just saw police use unnecessary violence for peaceful protesters, I saw police knock students to the ground. For me personally, I'm planning to stay here until our demands are met or they're going to have to drag me out of here That guy you just heard there he's 30 years old these people are not all college students this is completely fabricated again you've got all the green tents even got lawyers walking around with green baseball caps

27:37 The green stuff, oh so green. There was a discussion I didn't...I thought about clipping it but i didn't It was on PBS and there were a couple of professors going back and forth about how people are handling this And it was noted that the old pros like University California at Berkeley Okay pitch your tents here just don't get in the way you can stay here as long as you want And they didn't bring any cops in or anything, so there's just a bunch of idiots sleeping in tents. Privileged idiots! Privileged idiots sleeping in tents. Very privileged. Hey I slept in the tent and...

28:18 Meanwhile, in Columbia and other places where they bring in the police it goes bad. It goes sour because but you know at Berkeley they've understood this from because they have experience that goes back on this so don't do that and when they have when it go south like it does a Columbia all these outsiders come in because that's where the action is and it just makes it worse but these are the inexperienced and they attributed it to middle management and upper management at schools that have no experience with student protests whatsoever, and they just...they will...they're bound to screw it up and make a mess. So here's what's going on. So here is the...so its Black Lives Matter, the same people, and this is the BDS crowd so Boycott Divest and Sanction

CHAPTER 11 / 60 Discussion

Angela Davis, Denver Campus Activism

Marxist activist Angela Davis appeared at a protest in Denver to support students demanding that universities divest from companies tied to Israel. The rhetoric at these events is scrutinized, particularly regarding calls for financial transparency and the potential for peaceful protests to escalate into property damage.

angela davis· denver· marxism· divestment· student activism

29:06 They all want the universities, of course. I mean they're not actually educating anybody. They're investing in companies apparently so you've got to divest from all your investments if it wasn't in oil companies now can be in I guess defense companies? I don't know what other industry does Israel have. And then, oh you know what let's bring out Angela Davis! Renowned civil rights activist professor and author Angela Davis surprising those staking out on Tivoli Kwan They say you shouldn't meet your heroes but like she lived up to it. Davis emphasizing what this means for history

29:41 You will be the historical actors who made it possible for a breakthrough in the struggle against Zionism. Despite the wet weather, protesters continue to occupy the lawn and plan to sleep here overnight I'm not a politician i don't have all the answers but i do have the passion and the will to try and get our politicians to do their job Demanding full transparency from CU about this... Oh stop! Where was this? Where'd Angela Davis show up? She's from the Bay Area as far as I know. Denver, Denver's... No she went to Denver. Oh yeah you know and let's remember Angela Davis is a out-and-out Marxist slash communist Yes of course but this is what it is Let's see what she says And then the cops are brought in and oh well you know there's all cops are bastards they're horrible It's where are the bricks

30:36 Pigs, where are the bricks? Bring out the bricks so we can throw some bricks. Demanding full transparency from CU about the school's financial investments Joining hundreds of other campus protests across the country demanding change Protest is a peaceful defiance of unjust rules and if we're being real this ain't in my script I love this lady and if were being real then she puts her phone down This isn't in my script Because she's an actress. And if we being real, this ain't in my script. They lucky you ain't burning the s*** down. They're lucky! Oh yeah they're lucky! Oh they're lucky when I burned out Now in London...

31:14 little different. The organizers there are all members of the Labour Party and they want to have elections! I have not seen anything like this, it's absolutely incredible on several fronts We've been coming out for seven months and we haven't seen the numbers dwindle And this has been spreading outside London Today marks the 13th national demonstration for Palestine where tens of thousands are back on the streets of the capital from all over the country. By the way, that guy you heard in the beginning and the next speaker all Labour Party members and they've got professional signs World Workers' Party Socialist Party it's this is a political move they're making here

CHAPTER 12 / 60 Discussion

London Protests, UK Labour Party Influence

Tens of thousands of protesters marched in London for the 13th national demonstration for Palestine, with significant involvement from UK Labour Party members. The movement is putting pressure on the British government regarding arms sales to Israel and potential breaches of international law, while internal Jewish groups within the march call for an immediate ceasefire.

I have not seen anything like this, it's absolutely incredible on several fronts We've been coming out for seven months and we haven't seen the numbers dwindle And this has been spreading outside London Today marks the 13th national demonstration for Palestine where tens of thousands are back on the streets of the capital from all over the country. By the way, that guy you heard in the beginning and the next speaker all Labour Party members and they've got professional signs World Workers' Party Socialist Party it's this is a political move they're making here

31:54 Political pressure is mounting from all sides. This movement is facing increasing propaganda against it, the British Zionist lobby say marches like this one are anti-Semitic however the British Jewish community leaders and individuals on these very marches say this isn't about religion its about humanity We're openly Jewish we're on the March we're calling for ceasefire now Jews are not under threat. People who defend genocide will be criticized, what's going on? In Gaza is a stain on humanity and we all must raise our voices to see it ended as soon as possible. As the death toll soars to more than 34,000 in Gaza its business as usual for arms sales from the UK to Israel The UK government is now facing a legal challenge as many point to possible breaches of international law There you go arm sales of course and then

CHAPTER 13 / 60 Discussion

Tel Aviv Hostage Protests, Benjamin Netanyahu

Thousands of Israelis gathered in Tel Aviv to demand that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government secure a hostage deal with Hamas. Protesters expressed fury over the prolonged war and called for immediate elections, fueled by a Hamas-released video showing two captives taken during the October 7th attacks.

tel aviv· benjamin netanyahu· hamas· hostages· israeli elections

32:51 More political strife, more protests. I don't know it's still in the red book...I'm on the fence again! A sea of white and blue flags on the streets of Tel Aviv Thousands of Israelis demanding that the government bring their compatriots home But after almost seven months of war and with no hostage deal in sight Many are turning their fury on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his right-wing government. Families of the hostages, we're gathered to call upon the cabinet members get out of government if you can't secure a hostage deal now This is job number one Of the Government of Israel Job number one and they failed dramatically They should go

33:38 the government, all the 64 members." This protest was further inflamed by a video released by Hamas that appeared to show two hostages taken during the October 7th terror attack. Netanyahu and his government insist that securing the release of all hostages is their top priority but many are losing faith that Israeli leaders are really doing all they can I want for elections to be held not in a year or two but right now as soon as possible. I want all the hostages back because i can see the government does not want them back they want to make this war go as long as possible

34:18 We've been terrorized by our government, by our leadership for more than six months. They haven't been doing whatever they needed to do." As Hamas considers Israel's latest proposal for a ceasefire in Gaza negotiators have hinted that a hostage deal might be close So that's Deutsche Welle, so our intelligence services. So you're like oh let's put BB under a little bit of pressure there. Oh baby, oh baby, better get something going on then. I'm gonna move along I guess... What's that? I said what I'm gonna move along and there are some things there by the way should mention this as you brought in the UK at my one of our

CHAPTER 14 / 60 Discussion

Ukraine Consular Services, Military Recruitment

Ukraine has suspended consular services for military-aged men (18 to 60) living abroad in an effort to encourage them to return home for service. Meanwhile, in the UK, Keir Starmer is positioned as the likely next Prime Minister as the Labour Party gains political momentum.

ukraine· keir starmer· military age· consular services· mobilization

34:56 by one of the friends of the show. Do we have friends left? Yes, he wants to make me let it be known that the labor is going to totally kick ass in the next elections. Oh I believe take over the country and the next prime minister for people who want to kind of keep or placing bets for you better out there this key your star more creep which is basically what he is it will be the next prime minister. What's his name? Kier, k-e-i-r Starmer s t a r m e r so they're going full on uh yeah he's a socialist communist basically yeah excellent

35:42 And they won't be able to say anything, you know because you can't post anything online. Now so now you and I are staunchly anti-war anti death we don't like any of that and it's like this horrible 34 000 people dead It's so unbelievable to me that we don't talk about the hundreds of thousands that are dead in Ukraine, our closest ally who we just sent. Don't even bring up Africa! No no then people will run away And then, and this is the latest barely gets any news but I love the terms. It's a very short clip and I love what's happening. As Russia steps up its attacks Ukraine says it will suspend consular services for military-aged men abroad. Authorities now want to ensure that men aged between 18 and 60 living abroad return home but many Ukrainians say they are being unfairly targeted

36:35 Military-aged men now is between 18 and 60. Can you imagine me getting a call? Right there! It's like, hey we can use you as cannon fodder for a couple of months... And these guys are all... He could last probably for awhile No no no no it's un... Who cares they're Ukrainians not the same thing They're not brown So Before we leave the Middle East, I do have this...I had this wow clip which is my rubble-ized clip. This is just one of these things that I picked up and pulled down from PBS NewsHour that to me was just like a head shaker go okay you know for one thing they make a big thing about the Israelis

CHAPTER 15 / 60 Discussion

Gaza Reconstruction Estimates, Debris Removal

UN officials estimate that 37 million tons of debris must be removed from Gaza, a task that could take 14 years using 100 trucks daily. As Egypt sends a delegation to Israel to revive ceasefire talks, warnings persist against an Israeli military assault on the southern city of Rafa.

gaza· rafa· united nations· debris removal· egypt

37:27 going to Rafa and no, don't do that. They already did it and here's the clip Egypt has sent a high-level delegation to Israel tonight hoping to revive talks for a hostage deal and ceasefire with Hamas but Cairo also warned against an Israeli assault on the southern Gaza City of Rafa along the border with Egypt Much of Gaza has already been reduced to a wasteland with UN officials estimating 37 million tons of debris to be removed. They said today that the cleanup operation will be a mammoth job With 100 trucks, we're talking about 14 years of work with 100 trucks so that's based on that figure 14 years to remove with approximately 750 thousand work days

38:13 person work days to remove the debris. Wow, wow! That's some rubbilization. Rubilized right there. And then just saying don't go in there for what you just stub your toe I mean there's no nothing there. Unbelievable but you know your heartless, you're heartless 14 years of cleanup and you're heartless Dvorak Anyway, right on cue. Right on cue! We pass the bill... The money's in... As you mentioned Ukraine is also asking for these Patriot batteries and its European allies seem to have those batteries but securing them won't be as easy as it seems

CHAPTER 16 / 60 Discussion

Patriot Missile Systems, European Defense Deterrence

Ukraine is requesting seven Patriot missile defense systems from European allies, who collectively hold approximately 100 batteries. Countries like Greece and Spain have expressed hesitation to provide the systems due to concerns over their own national defense deterrence, while the U.S. focuses on rushing interceptor missiles to the region.

patriot missiles· ukraine· greece· spain· nato

38:56 Yes, Ukraine says that their allies in Europe have 100 of these Patriot systems which are extremely effective and they're saying if we can get 7 systems you know that you have out of 100 that you have dear allies well this would be enough to block You know, the bulk of Russian attacks. That's what the Ukrainians are saying but it is not easy because European countries you know if they give away their defense systems well you know they're losing some deterrence countries like Greece and Spain have been asked to give away some of their missiles, not the missiles, the defense system some interceptors

39:37 And well, they've been saying that we don't really want to give them away even though we're allies with Ukraine. The U.S is saying that they're going to send a faster, going to rush in some patriots but not the systems themselves only the missiles that intercept you know the missiles coming in from Russia. This woman was so out of breath by the end of this report she was just beside herself. It was this French 24. They have a couple of these breathless reporters and that's just the way they are all the time, she is always like this she's just like she ran up a flight of steps and trying to catch her breath. So I have terrible reporters. I have boots on the ground report and then I want to show you how it works in practice

40:24 Because, you know we passed 96 billion dollars worth and you know Ukraine aid Israel aid And we all know that the well. We read the bill it's a procurement bill more reading bills It doesn't help the donations Oh, you're gonna blame that on the donations? I do. I have to blame somebody! Wow how about your newsletter was no good? Oh there he is... He can't take it People always say read legislation anymore and they run away You're right that's the end of it So boots on the ground I work in the belly of the... Wait, hold on a second. You see how you stopped me in my tracks? People have said to you, read more legislation! Oh yeah, oh yeah! What kind of nutty listeners do we have here out there that aren't donating?! Anyway if they should've coughed up some big bucks for that... No no not even an attaboy And another they should've done double because you marked it up and posted it Not even an attaboy

CHAPTER 17 / 60 Discussion

Lockheed Martin, Finland NATO Integration

Finland's entry into NATO is linked to the purchase of F-35 fighter jets from Lockheed Martin, with each unit costing approximately $90 million. Reports from "boots on the ground" suggest that defense funding is being prioritized for naval base relocation due to sea-level rise and a massive buildup to counter China's projected 2025 military capacity.

lockheed martin· f-35· finland· nato· china threat

41:27 Nothing. Crickets, I'm never doing it again! So it was 270 pages alright now listen to this... The first is that now Finland, as a member of NATO they will be purchasing F-35s ASAP. Yeah exactly good for our GDP Each of these in the neighborhood of 90 million dollars just to manufacture and that goes without mentioning whatever cost increase will happen for foreign military sale This doesn't even begin to get into what it will cost Finland to maintain these jets You see Lockheed Martin is real pain to work with

42:13 on this because the government let them keep all of the data rights so they, Lockheed Martin gets to decide how where and who performs the maintenance work. Of course since they own the data rights they will take a cut everywhere they can because they have to be involved in everything if you ask me Lockheed Martin is probably the one that convinced Finland to join NATO see what's going people it's all about I like it second The Air Force is being told that money for large projects will be scarce within the Department of Defense because the Navy needs it all to move naval bases due to the rise of sea level.

42:52 My best guess is that the leaders in the Navy know they aren't about to get flooded, but they see an opportunity to take advantage of a bunch of idiots and get a bunch of cash coming their way. It's the Navy! Who cares whether they're flooded? They got boats Our boots on the ground suggest maybe they should build a base on John's mudflats since they seem to be immune from the sea level rise. Yeah, I'm looking out there right now by the way. Yep nothing has changed. As an aside... It says 1890! ...as an aside this conversation came up because we are perpetually out of money for large projects it's wild to see one trillion dollars worth of funding go to the Department of Defense but basically none of it makes it down the change

43:36 chain due to so much fraud. And third, he says you are absolutely correct about ramping up for China we are sent briefings about the threat from China regularly and they're getting more frequent The latest one was all about how projecting out to 2025, China will have more planes more ships and missiles than all of the US Australia Japan and South Korea put together. The message was pretty clear we have to build more stuff and we can't let them steal our designs I'll also mention that i've never seen a briefing about the threat from Russia ISIS North Korea or anyone else it's all China all the time And so now we get to

CHAPTER 18 / 60 Discussion

Ukraine Aid Package, Pentagon Procurement

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin announced a $6 billion aid package for Ukraine, allowing the country to purchase new weapons directly from U.S. defense contractors. This follows an immediate $1 billion transfer of existing U.S. inventory, focusing heavily on air defense, artillery ammunition, and Patriot system missiles.

pentagon· lloyd austin· artillery· missiles· defense contractors

44:17 Oh, you know what? We have we got another hundred billion dollars. Well all right then here remember we had that 7.8 billion earmarked for Ukraine for actual money going to Ukraine which is now partially being released this was not a big news item and it's being released so they can buy our stuff let's bring in our Louis Martinez covers the Pentagon for us also Mick Mulroy our security and defense analyst Let's start with you, Louis and just talk about this aid package. Clearly this is a part of that massive foreign aid package that we announced or President Biden announced just days ago now getting into the nitty gritty of exactly what this means for Ukraine and Israel

45:04 No, you're right, Kerry. It's been a really busy week with regards to Ukraine and the funding levels — 95 billion of which 60 billion of it was intended for Ukraine — and immediately after that we saw the $1 billion in immediate aid. These are weapons in the U.S. inventory that are being provided immediately. So wait a minute so this 1 billion went immediately for Ukraine to spend on buying stuff from our contractors? Okay, that's one million. To Ukraine but there is another portion of that money which goes towards future weapons buys That's where the six billion dollars that... The Pentagon just announced an additional $6 billion, seven billion total. So about 800 million left. Secretary Austin announced it just came in this is 6 million dollars that the United States will provide so that Ukraine can purchase additional new weapons and of course... From home! He focus here is on air defense you heard him talking specifically about more artillery ammunition he heard us specifically talking about more missiles for those Patriot systems

46:02 He also heard Defense Secretary Austin talking about how the United States and other countries are going to, it seems like try to provide more Patriot systems those launchers that Ukraine is so desperately asking for as Russia keeps launching more attacks on Ukraine's cities. The question is when will they arrive given that they're in such dire need? Three days ago, attack thems! Attack them's! Attack them's! Which the President of the United States does not have to give. We read that in the legislation again I repent, I'm sorry I did that So and now it's all patriots we need missiles Patriot's Patriot's Patriot's All right here six billion dollars shut up buy it from those guys It's all a buy bill. It's insane Okay? We're being ripped off

CHAPTER 19 / 60 Discussion

Elon Musk, Global Energy Control Claims

A debate continues regarding the role of Elon Musk and X in protecting free speech, with suggestions that payment integration will lead to more identification. Claims are made that the U.S. maintains global dominance through energy control, drawing parallels between current Middle East conflicts and the historical justifications for the Iraq War.

elon musk· x· energy policy· iraq war· syria

46:53 Yeah, what? For being ripped off. For gambling? Ripped off! Unbelievable What a jip It's a jip What a jip Anyway that's my presentation That's your rant you've had enough You're fed up Well I'm not- I'm fed up I'm sad no I'm sad that people are falling into the same trap of arguing on social media, spurred on often by the king I should say the queen of social media Elon Musk which everyone thinks oh he's without him we wouldn't have free speech. You wait what's coming with X you wait! Oh you'll have your free speech when he has your payment details so it can find ya

47:49 You just wait. It's all coming down, but in the meantime let's... I'm gonna send this podcaster a piece of my mind! I think you get more than that. You probably got more. I got some targeted notes but you probably get more. But when people say why did you purposely lie? What are you talking about?! To what benefit I'm convinced you're either... What was the lie? I didn't get that. Oh, the lie is that I said based upon good evidence and historical comparisons which partially came from Hudson professor is that

48:38 The United States is running the energy all around the world. We've been doing it for a long time, the Project for New American Century which required to get us into war which when you know instead of going to Afghanistan we went to Iraq what okay aluminum tubes Then we killed a million Iraqis, we stole all the oil. Yellow cake! We're still in Syria but somehow the Jews are running us. Stop it! It's ridiculous on its face, but people are stuck in that. And then when you say hey it ain't all that bad then you get the pro-Palestinian people so we are right over the target because its coming from both sides this is like COVID... It's flak, it's just being in a B29. It's like COVID in the beginning remember Ukraine and Russia? You guys are on the wrong side of history!

49:36 Yeah, we lost the but he lost but then Tucker doesn't interview with Putin. Oh well you know hey It's pretty good now yeah, yeah He went to a grocery store even but people people We can't save them that's unsavable I'm glad I'm old you're allowed it can retire bill I don't think gonna make four more years. I got less. I'm gonna do something else podcast pastor there You go. I'll do something else podcast pastor But podcast past guests, and I have three clips about the protests. I want to get them out of the way. OK? Good to go is a student protest. A sort of student protest rap in PR. Here we go. Student protests in solidarity with Gaza have spread to campuses across the US demanding that universities disclose financial ties to Israel and divest

University Graduation Cancellations, Academic Calendar

The University of Southern California canceled its main graduation ceremony due to ongoing student protests and safety concerns. Observations are made regarding the early end of the academic year at some institutions, with negotiations continuing at Columbia University to clear encampments before mid-May.

usc· columbia university· graduation· student encampments· academic year

50:28 And here's Jasmin Garst has more. The protests have moved into schools not historically associated with activism like the University of Southern California Several schools have come under fire for allowing police to come onto campus Over 100 protesters were arrested at Columbia University last week The University of Texas in Austin and the University of Southern California also saw student activists arrested. At Emory, Georgia, the student newspaper reported that Atlanta police deployed tear gas into a crowd of protesters. With graduation nearing many universities are changing plans The University of Southern California has canceled its main ceremony. Columbia says it's negotiating with student protesters to have the campus cleared by May 15th for graduation. Graduation, yeah alright so there's that's the catch-up and then we have I had this WTF clip which is a clip I always put aside

51:26 Short, this is short. This is 7 seconds of something let's see what it is. To continue negotiating with the students and getting that encampment cleared in time for graduation on May 14th Okay Oh yes I'm glad we played that So what was weird about that clip you think? Let me listen to it again To continue negotiating with the students and getting that encampment cleared in time for graduation on May 14th Graduation on May 14th? Is that a... I don't know any, I didn't go to college so I don't know anything about it. Well you went to high school! In Holland?! Well wherever you went, may fourteenth!? I mean it seems to me you'd be graduating in June

52:10 It's been a long time. You know, at least mid June not May April May this is so we got what it had may 14th as school ends on may 14th and they what the teachers professors whatever they are call it what you want What they get five months off? I mean, what is that because they know they don't get back until October Well, then you did when did they tighten the year so why you might as well graduate him now because they're not gonna learn anything more You act like like these degrees are of any value that they mean in here. Well, yeah That's a make that point you can make that point Like the third clip is the Jews and protests at Columbia Yeah

CHAPTER 21 / 60 Discussion

Columbia University Tensions, Global Conflict Comparisons

Jewish students at Columbia University expressed conflicting views on safety, with some fearing antisemitic rhetoric and others criticizing the militarization of the campus by police. Comparisons are drawn between current protests and the Vietnam War era, while questioning why student activists focus on Gaza over high casualty rates in Ukraine or Africa.

columbia university· hillel· vietnam war· ukraine· africa

52:52 There have been charges of anti-Semitism at some of these protests. What did you find on campus? So yesterday, at a press conference hosted by Columbia, Barnard Hillel several pro Israel students expressed fear and anger here's Noah Faye No one is above the law Arrest the students on Butler Lawn and discipline those that continue to call for the death of my friends and family Look at me The Jew facing this I am not afraid anymore. So why should the administration be? She pointed out that one of the leaders of the Columbia encampment in a social media video called for the death of Zionists. He's since apologized and been barred from campus now, A few days ago I also had a chance to sit down with Sarah Boris she is one of the students who were arrested last week at Columbia she has been suspended she can't go back on campus She herself is Jewish And she says the only thing making her feel unsafe right now Is the heightened police presence

53:52 In my capacity as a Jewish student, I feel safe but not with all of the militarization of our campus. I don't think anyone feels safe on our campus because of the way that Manusha Feig and the administration have escalated this situation And what she told me is she feels protesting Israel's mass killings makes her a better Jew I'm sorry. That's funny, that's funny. Yes very funny. All right let me ask you some questions here so the comparisons are made between the protests and Kent State and who shot some students but this...and of course i wasn't really consciously aware of those things because it was

54:39 a little before my time, but weren't the protests at the time... because the comparisons are being made. Oh look! Look at these military aged men coming in with the police Wasn't that about the draft and Vietnam? Yeah it was about Vietnam period We should give these kids something to really protest about Well draft them I find this to be rather you know for example when we talk about on this show even though people don't appreciate it The number of dead Ukrainians is up through the roof. It's like, that's the genocide is almost a complete elimination of the Ukrainian from Ukraine's gene pool. Africa which we rarely talk about because that really kills us there are hundreds and thousands of dead because all these little skirmishes going on around here and there all throughout Africa

55:36 We were militarized Chad and we just left it. We haven't talked about that at all on the show because nobody cares, so if you're going to be that concerned about these sorts of conflagrations as a student why aren't you concerned about these other ones? You don't give a crap about anybody but Palestinians? Have you been to Palestine? Has any of these students ever been to Israel let alone Palestine I don't think so. No neither can they point to it on a map Probably not. No, this is Black Lives Matter activation it's what it gives everybody a chance to go out and do speeches write books meet chicks that's right meanwhile they got facial tattoos so kind of a drawback there are some interesting similarities between the EU and what's happening here in the United States

CHAPTER 22 / 60 Discussion

Youth Curfews, France and US Territories

Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin announced a nighttime curfew for minors in the French territory of Guadeloupe to curb rising violence. Similar measures are noted in various U.S. cities, where social workers are being used to re-engage children caught violating curfews, a practice some view as a return to forgotten historical norms.

guadeloupe· gérald darmanin· curfews· youth violence· biden

56:30 This seems to be a trend that is growing. It's a measure that is gaining traction, night time curfew for minors as means to allegedly curb youth violence The first of this most recent spate of curfews began when Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin announced on a visit to the French territory of Guadeloupe that a point-de-pied curfew for those under 18 would begin April 22nd. The measure, the government says is an attempt curb rising violence For police officers, the week began with I.D checks and phone calls home to parents OK so we have a curfew because i guess it's dangerous that kids are on the street

57:09 Kids. summer of hope. So unless they're in, they are involved in a city church or organization involved activity Children 17 and under cannot be out by themselves within 100 yards from their home. This expanded plan now has social workers who will make contact with those kids who were caught violating the curfew. They will first focus on trying to get the child back to an adult family member or the City

57:50 has a re-engagement center that those kids would be taken to or even the hospital until a relative is found and any family that seems to be in crisis where some intervention might lead to a happier, safer home. That too will now be available." Kind of flows into your observation that parents are going to blamed for everything? Yeah! So what is this? Since when do we have curfew for people under 18? What is this? This is troubling. I recall it from this, I think when i was a little kid What? They used to have curfews Really? All over the country yeah Okay what were the socio-economic circumstances at the time It was something that fell back...I think it stemmed from leftover ideas from the 30's or 40's No but what... When there were curfews during the war

58:49 Yeah, there were curfews. I remember distinctly as a little kid that there were curfews and people would talk about it was like a 10 o'clock curfew for every teenager. Really? Yeah. Well, I think that lasted until the...I don't know when it stopped. Until the roaring 20's? This is Biden joke! So no, it's not unusual. I think the history of curfews in this country is maybe just forgotten history Anyway, but you know just looking at France it doesn't really matter because President Macron has made very clear where they're headed. Europe could die!

CHAPTER 23 / 60 Discussion

Emmanuel Macron, European Cybersecurity Warnings

French President Emmanuel Macron delivered a speech at Sorbonne University warning that "Europe could die" if it fails to address challenges in cybersecurity and competition from global powers. The rhetoric is interpreted as an attempt to justify increased taxation for climate and military initiatives by instilling fear in the populace.

emmanuel macron· sorbonne· brexit· russia· cybersecurity

59:32 What Europe could die Europe could die that was one of Emmanuel Macron's key warnings on Thursday in a speech at the Sorbonne University in Paris The rallying cry involved a range of topics including Europe's cybersecurity relations with post brexit Britain Russia's continued invasion of Ukraine and Europe's challenges faced with major competitors who play by different rules Europe could die. Send your checks, Europe could die." What is the point of that? What is he trying to either elicit or... He's trying to scare people! But how does that scare him?!

1:00:17 Okay. What does that mean? What does it mean they're gonna, I mean the kids there are... Farmland's not going to go away and they're gonna be... So when they put all their... The earth When people are taxed for climate change and military purchases That they'll feel good about it because you know we could die You might die! Come on, if you might die By the way Craig Weinberg says that They've got a curfew for youth in their town He says how many curfews do we have in America This is interesting, I'd love to know Yeah, I think there's more than you think. Clearly! If we need a curfew it is going to be for the cicadas. Oh brother... Have you heard any reports? It is starting now. No, it can't be starting yet. This is two of the biggest broods as they like to call them. I think its number 13 and 8 or something like that. We have a lot of them in the United States crawling with cicadas

CHAPTER 24 / 60 Discussion

Cicada Brood Emergence, Biblical Proportions

For the first time since 1803, two major broods of cicadas (the 13-year and 17-year cycles) are emerging simultaneously across the U.S. Midwest and South. Residents in Georgia and South Carolina report noise levels reaching 100 decibels, comparable to a lawnmower, as trillions of insects surface for their mating cycle.

cicadas· brood xiii· brood xix· georgia· illinois

1:01:18 tomato, the uh this these two groups combined is going to be a nightmare. You want to hear this report from NBC? Yeah, I love that. Somebody suggested that we use it as a foundational story for donations...I don't know how! Well if a cicada lands on you and if you're in the area one of them is gonna land right on your shoulder and scare ya and would that means you should donate $500? Well I love this report how this is of biblical proportions

1:01:57 It's set to be the biggest invasion in hundreds of years. Not millions, not billions but likely trillions of these pesky incredibly loud cicadas and right here in Georgia the invasion has begun it is shocking to see this many and they're already coming out in South Carolina where they're taking over Sarah Weinbergs backyard when did you think he was gonna be this bad? No No, I really wasn't prepared because I've never seen this before. Yeah, This is my first invasion. They moved in and they have stayed stayed mostly under her gazebo clinging onto every corner and crevice. They think this is a safe spot. It's already getting so loud in Newberry County people are calling the sheriff to complain we had elite beer. We had eclipse

1:02:49 Now we've got cicadas everywhere. Why so many this year? One set of cicadas comes out every 17 years, another every 13 years this year there is an emergence of both broods that hasn't happened since 1803 they're coming out from Alabama to Missouri and where they may overlap the most Illinois They're talking, you know epic numbers biblical kind of numbers of them in that area. So something historic potentially is brewing into Midwest? It definitely is historic for sure. Augusta Georgia agriculture agent Campbell Vaughn says cicadas are harmless but very loud. The males are making the noise and it's a little bitty buzz. I wonder if they can hear that

1:03:37 So we have the sound level meter here, so let's pause and just see how loud they really are. About 60 decibels right here... But at their peak that could skyrocket to 100 decibels about the same as a lawnmower! Enjoy the noise it's pretty unique thing so don't get too creeped out by them. I was in Georgia 17 years ago During the previous brood. Yeah, the previous outbreak and It is noisy. And everywhere you go, and you walk down this... If I remember being in Buckhead, if you're anywhere near a tree they're all in the tree and they're just making nothing but this noise. And they're doing it combined. It's horrifyingly loud. And I can see it, well I don't know if it gets to 100 decibels which is pretty loud but it's possible

1:04:42 And they do land on your shoulder. You walk around and boom, one landed there. Oh yeah, and I have received several recipes for cicada. Oh, yummy! What else are you going to do with your time? We've got to fill our airtime people Let's do a cicada recipe Well, as you said we had an eclipse. It's a leap year. It is global proof of climate change according to Sonny Hoskins on The View Oh do you have the clip? No it was from awhile ago We talked about it already You're right I have two interesting clips

CHAPTER 25 / 60 Discussion

FTC Non-Compete Ban, Tech Industry Impact

The Federal Trade Commission is facing legal challenges from the Chamber of Commerce over its new ban on non-compete agreements. The tech industry is expected to be most affected, as companies like Intel and AMD have historically used these contracts to protect circuit designs and trade secrets from being carried to competitors by departing engineers.

ftc· non-compete agreements· chamber of commerce· intel· amd

1:05:24 I think it's from NTD because they have these discussions once in a while. And this is something, I think we should both listen to and I think the audience in general and the producers in general would find it insightful. It's about the government deciding that non-compete is illegal. Oh right yes! Is this aimed mainly at the technology industry? I don't know who it's aimed at but that's who it affects the most. And so they discussed a little bit and this is worth listening to." Federal Trade Commission is getting sued by the Chamber of Commerce and several business groups over banning non-compete agreements those prevent a person from working in the same industry or starting a competing business for some time after leaving a job, The FTC calls these agreements unfair but some say the contracts protect

1:06:15 trade secrets and encourage competition. NTT's David Lam spoke with Vance Ginn, president of Ginn Economic Consulting he is also a former chief economist for the White House Office of Management and Budget. Vance great to see you again thank you for joining us now tell us with the FTC banning non-compete agreements what's the impact on the job market? Well, it's a pleasure to be with you and I think that this will have a big impact on the job market. There are a lot of businesses out there where they negotiate these agreements, these work agreements with the worker to not share information or not have the same customers or clients

1:06:51 after they leave. That's kind of this non-compete agreements that they sign, and there are many of these across many sectors of the economy including a lot of those that are new innovations technology firms manufacturing firms those types and it's really across many sectors of the economy so this will have a big influence on the workforce in the future of work I really think at the end of day that should be overturned Now, so you did mention technology but if you have a non-compete and the company wants to hold you to a non compete is it not typical in an on compete agreement that you then are paid even though your you've left the company or you've been fired or whatever? Generally speaking as far as I know when you leave certain tech companies you sign off on

1:07:49 For money. Yeah a non disparagement clause well non-disparagement is different than not non-competing I'm just saying you sign off on that and and it in certain hot tech companies where there's actually technology involved where you learn something or if You're in sales, you have developed a Rolodex you sign off on a non-compete, that means you can't use your own Rolodex for X number of years. Wink wink nudge nudge Yeah that's not gonna work but it will work if you for example and this happens in the chip industry because I was involved in a couple lawsuits as an expert witness where you get to see how the sausage is made when you're an expert witness

1:08:36 Intel and AMD, for example were suing each other constantly over one thing or another. And what they would do is they would find a circuit design of some sort that was used in a competing chip and then they would track down an employee who happened to be working in engineering that would know that design and then they would sue because it's obviously the guy took the design from one company and took it to the other company. And so they have this, so the design of today's chips has been done ever since late 80s I'm pretty sure even before then these so-called clean room designs where to prevent this sort of lawsuit that companies would

1:09:25 make sure that nobody working on the design of this new chip worked for anybody else, except if you're pretty much fresh out of school or they came from Russia. Or who knows where? That's why a lot of the design work for Intel, for example is done in Haifa Israel. In fact we have a lot of chip designers that are scattered around the world. A lot of the chip designs for microprocessors is done by Indians Because the Indians, for some unknown reason have this natural ability to they have a knack for designing processors. So it becomes very complicated because these things are so valuable and because when you design something new in new circuit

CHAPTER 26 / 60 Discussion

Labor Market Competition, Trade Secret Protection

Economist Vance Ginn argues that banning non-competes could lead to lower wages and reduced hiring as employers worry about protecting intellectual property. Speculation arises that the timing of the FTC's move may be linked to the competitive AI chip market and the massive capital requirements of projects led by figures like Sam Altman.

vance ginn· labor market· wages· ai chips· sam altman

1:10:07 And you can sell it for half the price of somebody else's thing. You just get rich overnight Why do you think this is in play now? and what why is the Federal Trade Commission all of a sudden Jumping into this that this must there must be something brewing and someone's paid off some people I agree, and I don't think fishy about to me like this would be an AI chip design deal that someone maybe insists China China may be involved here Sam Altman With, you know he maybe got that seven trillion dollars he needs to make it work finally. Let's play clip tune and we'll figure it out Now Vance under these non-compete agreements how long did employees typically have to wait after they quit their job before moving to a new company in the same industry? Well it depends on the agreement that they signed sometimes it could be six months sometimes it could be a year

1:11:00 Other times these non-compete agreements can be more than a year. And so that can put some strain on individuals whenever they go and try to find another job, however they usually get paid more when they have a non compete agreement because as they go into these negotiations you either get a job that doesn't have an uncompeted agreement or you take a job that has one your going to want higher pay or more benefits Now, moving forward if businesses aren't allowed to have these specialized contracts how would they ensure that their trade secrets won't be revealed to other companies from their former employees? Well I think that's a great question and i think it's one that a lot of these employers are going to look at and say do we really want to hire as many workers if we're going to have to be concerned about

1:11:44 trade secrets, other things being released or clients and things of that nature being released because that will reduce their profitability over time. What we want really is a more competitive labor market not one that it's going to be based on what's the next rule put in place by the FTC, by the Biden administration or even by states We should be unleashing people to allow for them to negotiate whatever the agreements are going to be. And so I think this is going to hurt not only employment, but wages and fringe benefits for the future. This should really be something that's done with voluntary transactions." Well, I think that'll be unveiled soon enough we'll find out why this is taking place. There's something up with this and it's out of the blue

1:12:27 a couple of weeks ago, I guess out of the blue. Generally speaking, a lot of companies will do...will take care of some of these fears by keeping secret their employee roster. Yeah, I noticed this you see this on TV shows occasionally The Greg Gutfeld Show for example Never runs a credit roll ever so you don't know the writers are for the writers. Yeah, it's to protect the writers they do Bill Maher runs a credit role with that You find out there's 12 writers there and you can get their names And if you wanted to poach him you could but some of these shows I don't know why they do that

1:13:06 I don't know if they're paying extra so they don't get credit. I'm not sure, but this thing is a big deal that I think it's a fair idea in tech because these ideas some of these trade secrets are just little gimmicks and you don't want them out. Well how about this? I need to review our agreement because if i accept the offer to go do my own show on The Blaze, can you stop me from doing that with our non-compete? No. Excellent. They had to have been agreed to 10 years ago. Excellent! So you go, well, go work for the Blaze and end up like... Hello DJ Toretso! Toretso? They make a new video over there. Hey I'm Adam Curry. Blink blink. Yeah the Blaze rocks woo that's right

CHAPTER 27 / 60 Discussion

Media Career Shifts, The Blaze

The career trajectories of media personalities moving to The Blaze are discussed, with Jason Whitlock cited as an example of a figure who became less visible after leaving mainstream platforms. The hosts joke about potential roles at the Daily Wire following the departure of Candace Owens.

glenn beck· jason whitlock· ben shapiro· the blaze· candace owens

1:14:04 No, John. I'd never...I would never forsake you all for one. Where we go one where we go all. Oh my God Glenn Beck's calling. Glenn Beck is calling. I get it. Glenn Beck is on the line You know what? It would be better if Glenn Beck actually listened to the show. That would be a start. It will be surprising. It's like whatever happened to um What was that? The big black guy. What's his name The big black guy? Yeah, he used to be on Tucker all the time. He went to the Blaze and it's like a career ender. Oh yeah! That athlete that uses his report on sports... Yeah that guy

1:14:49 Oh, this is how it goes. Yeah! Don't even remember who he is? We can't even remember his name because we went over to the blaze and disappeared. Troll Room's trying to help. Shaquille O'Neal... No that wasn't him. No no no. Whitmore, Whitman, Whitlock, Jason Whitlock. There you go. Jason Whitlock Yeah, Jason Whitlock. Great material always good for a clip and now it's like what? Hey you know with all the protection of the Jews I'm doing how come Ben Shapiro hasn't called for me to fill in for Candace Owens? Yeah you could fit right in over there

CHAPTER 28 / 60 Discussion

mRNA Cancer Vaccine Trials, Melanoma Treatment

NHS patients in the UK have begun trials for a personalized mRNA vaccine designed to treat melanoma. The experimental treatment, which identifies proteins unique to an individual's tumor, is used in combination with other drugs and has shown a 49% reduction in the risk of death or recurrence over three years in early stages.

mrna· melanoma· nhs· cancer moonshot· immunotherapy

1:15:29 I don't think it talked fast enough. It could speed up, I could... You're old school you talk normal speeds? I can speed it up no problem like and I can do it well good news after the mRNA jab has reportedly been possibly responsible for turbo cancers Right when we expect it, it's back on the list everybody. We're going to use the mRNA technology! Skin cancer patients in the UK have begun taking part in a trial aimed at developing the first personalized vaccine for melanoma. The experimental treatment uses the same technology as some COVID-19 jabs. Results from an earlier stage of the trial suggest that using it in combination with another drug

1:16:21 reduces the risk of recurrence or death by 49% after three years. Our health correspondent, Sophie Hutchinson has the report I love the fact they keep saying in with another cancer drug which they never mentioned in the report and I have yet to find out what it is Steve Young, one of the first NHS patients to take part in the trial for what's hoped will be a game-changing treatment. It is for melanoma – the deadliest of all skin cancers and it aims to help those at highest risk of recurrence. Steve was given experimental treatment at University College Hospital in London He had a melanoma removed from his scalp last summer he told us that this trial is his best chance of keeping cancer free

1:17:07 I feel, okay someone told me that I've got survivor syndrome because actually feel guilty. I feel guilty that I'm completely fine and yet i'm getting all this attention and you know...I get to have a scan and MRI every three months when I know that people are waiting such a long time and I genuinely feel kind of awful about that but I just really hope that what's happening with the trial and the results they get are going to be good news, and it's going to go on to do amazing things. I mean this is exactly what we knew would happen particularly certainly in the US with President Biden's cancer moonshot

CHAPTER 29 / 60 Discussion

Therapeutic mRNA Technology, Immune System Priming

The shift in medical science toward mRNA-based therapeutic approaches is examined, specifically how these vaccines prime the immune system to attack cancer cells. Critics question the long-term efficacy and the definition of "vaccine" as the technology moves from preventative infectious disease measures to personalized cancer treatments.

mrna· spike protein· immunotherapy· medical science· covid-19

1:17:53 Here they come, mRNA. It's the solution to all your problems everything is going to be fixed with mRNA The personalized treatment works by identifying proteins unique to each person's cancer and then uses the same technology which created some COVID- Stop stop stop stop! Back it up So this vaccine only used on people who have melanoma? Please go away with your logic, okay. Stop being logical!

1:18:32 Yes, it's a vaccine that you... For people who already have cancer or had melanoma. But don't you understand that this is just the trial in conjunction with some other magical test? Yeah I understand that except for the little tidbit in there which is that the vaccine is based on your personal protein profile From the melanoma you had yeah, so yeah trial or no trial You got good with this do anyone who's never had melanoma none That's not the point it vaccine is now the definition has been changed. We saw this happen Well I know that I'm just it's just screwy see

1:19:19 The personalised treatment works by identifying proteins unique to each person's cancer and then uses the same technology which created some Covid vaccines called mRNA to prime the immune system, to attack the cells. It is being used in combination with another... Wait wait stop! So this is going to be like the spike protein. In other words, you have some proteins that are related to your cancer so we're gonna give you more of them? Yes! That's what I'm hearing. So you can be covered with melanoma? I'm not understanding again how this is supposed to work. It's being used in... Your immune system is supposed to kick it up a notch? Yeah and then attack your immune system which is in essence what cancer already is

1:20:08 I'm not sure. Combination with another cancer drug and previous results suggest together it almost halved the risk of recurrence or death after three years It's a very specific treatment highly personalized to each individual's tumor and it's a really exciting way of hopefully turning the patients own immune system against their cancer, and it looks like it could be really effective a therapeutic approach. This trial will really prove that's the case or not? Safe and effective, well there is a lot... it is really interesting how medical science took a huge corner turn with COVID and we knew this was going to happen and were not actually surprised that this great mRNA technology which you know should get a booster because they last 60 days

CHAPTER 30 / 60 Discussion

Bird Flu in Dairy Herds, PCR Testing

The FDA reports that one in five samples of pasteurized milk tested contains fragments of the H5N1 bird flu virus, which has been detected in 33 herds across eight states. While officials maintain that pasteurized milk is safe, the use of high-cycle PCR testing to find viral fragments is criticized as a potential psychological operation against the beef and dairy industries.

bird flu· h5n1· fda· pcr testing· dairy cows

1:20:59 was all going to happen. And so as a part of this, we talked about it... I have a couple of clips here. I need to play through these because I'm going to go back to what Texas Slim said, like they're coming for your cows. They're coming for your beef. It's going to be the summer of Chinese pork and we're gonna just look at all the fake food products that are being created with taste and texture chemicals so that it'll taste good. It doesn't matter what it is you're eating. It will taste like beef. You think its beef but you're eating cells that were grown in a lab.

1:21:43 And so what is happening here now is we have an attack on the ranching industry, on the beef industry. It's just starting it slowly and they've done a really good job... What are you doing? There was a spider running around the papers. I'm sorry! I had to kill it. Did you get him? I don't know. He was one of those fast little ones. Oh yeah, now you gotta nail those right away Because they creep into your ear at night and lay eggs. So we already know that they've been doing this testing in the milk because they can't get onto ranches to go on, you know... The ranchers are like no, you're not going to test my cows. They don't exactly what are you gonna do? You say my cow's got bird flu or you're gonna make me kill them all! So they're testing the milk with PCR

1:22:36 Which we know is you can detect anything. You want HIV in your milk? Just crank it up to 40 cycles and look for HIV, and you'll have HIV in your milk. Everything in the universe! And I wanna mention a complaint that Mimi had about the show... Well at least she listens Yeah she's been listening for last couple years It's weird to make sure you don't botch the meetups, I guess. But she said that we should note that the bad milk, the PCR where these fragments come from they've been feeding cows ground up chickens and many often may be part of a call of bird flu chickens so they grind up the chickens and feed the chicken shit in the chickens to some of these large herds

1:23:27 Texas Lim would know about this. And bingo, you get a little couple of fragments of bird flu in the milk that gosh what a surprise because they... Because our industrial food complex really doesn't care about anything except getting as much profit as they can Correct. So, but I think that this is a larger scheme that's at foot here and they parlay it all into well you know you don't want that to be transferring over to humans and just all the complete nonsense

1:24:04 But they're ramping it up, and I think they're ramping it up to get rid of cows. They'll start with milk cows and then... Well just listen to the reports because its ramped up a little bit we've seen this happen over the past couple weeks now we know from last week's clips that they are using PCR to test the milk well you can find anything in milk The FDA says one out every five samples of milk it recently tested contains traces of the bird flu experts say that suggests more cows may be infected than originally thought. Officials say pasteurized milk remains safe to drink so far bird flu has been detected in 33 herds across eight states now the concern is that the virus could mutate and potentially pose a larger risk for people. 33, so there's your magic number. There's your code number by the way. It could mutate everything can mutate so what?

1:24:54 Oh, well okay now we go to see... And by the way I also want to accuse the vegans of having something to do with this. Oh for sure just gonna blame the vegans on everything! Of course So that was ABC, now we go to CBS. America's dairy cows will be tested for bird flu more closely to stop the virus from spreading some new rules were put in place yesterday after the FDA reported finding fragments of the bird flu virus in pasteurized grocery store milk. Regulators though say there is little risk to humans Dr. Sling Gounder is a CBS News medical contributor and editor-at-large for Public Health

CHAPTER 31 / 60 Discussion

Public Health Response, Frankenstein Flu Concerns

Medical experts like Dr. Celine Gounder emphasize that viral fragments in milk do not indicate live infectious virus. However, public health officials are monitoring for potential transmission to pigs, which are considered "mixing vessels" that could lead to the mutation of a more dangerous "Frankenstein" flu strain capable of human-to-human spread.

1:24:04 But they're ramping it up, and I think they're ramping it up to get rid of cows. They'll start with milk cows and then...

Regulators though say there is little risk to humans Dr. Sling Gounder is a CBS News medical contributor and editor-at-large for Public Health

1:25:33 at KFF Health News. Good morning, Dr. Gounder. I love that bring in a doctor not a veterinarian bringing a doctor first i want to just ask you about the headline when I first read this yesterday of course you know alarm bells go off when you hear that it's founded on grocery store shelves and pasteurized milk you know that your right there's I have not found evidence of this yet but I'm pretty sure the nut sap industry has a hand in this as well Almond milk. Yeah, the nut sap industry that they could use the word milk on their products is criminal a and then by the way This is also the never-ending attack on on delicious raw milk done by providers who are super clean because you have to be You know run a really tight operation to sell raw milk in the first place But nobody likes it we'd rather have the milk boiled You know because these guys

1:26:29 Boil the milk, boil it. What concerns should we have? Should we have concerns? I think we should be very clear that the tests that came back positive are for the genetic material of the virus. This could just be virus fragments what's left over after pasteurization and so this by itself is not a reason for alarm there are additional test being done to see is this live infectious virus or is this just the dead virus we would expect to see So drinking it, would you get sick drinking that milk? Well presumably if this is simply the leftovers after a pasteurization process. You should not get sick from this. Now notice all the terms they're using dead virus you know it's all very COVID-y COVID related This is a psychological operation that is taking place and remember Texas Slim's words summer of Chinese pork

1:27:24 Let's see what's going on. We know that h5n1 the bird flu virus is prep it's out there It's in the animal population, but when it comes to human risk There has been only one confirmed case One or a farm worker in Texas who was the confirmed case so what can we? take what can we gather from that when it comes to human risk of transmission? Well, there are some tests still ongoing. So to see if there's any live infectious virus in the milk supply so what we do there is we try to grow up any virus what we call culture it's that kind of test we do those tests are still ongoing We anticipate those will come back negative pasteurization works for all the viruses that we've tried uh to test this on so far There's no reason to think it wouldn't but we want to confirm that that's the case

1:28:11 The other thing we're looking out for is do we see pigs infected? Pigs have traditionally been the mixing vessel for human and bird flu, and that's how you get these Frankenstein scary flus. That's what we have a bit of a blind spot on right now, so we need to be digging more into that." This is how you get the Frankenstein scary flu! It's a SCARY flu!" I like the scientific terminology. Yes, Frankenstein's scary flu. All right now we go into the final clip here of this doctor and she lays out the real problem. And is the government doing enough? And the FDA and farmers what are we hearing about how these cases are being reported or how they're taking care of this? Yeah yeah. In big picture i think there could be more transparency and cooperation

CHAPTER 32 / 60 Discussion

Scott Gottlieb, Agricultural Testing Conflicts

Former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb notes a tension between federal health agencies and state agricultural regulators, who have been reluctant to allow inspectors onto farms. Testing milk is described as a "backdoor" way for the CDC and FDA to identify outbreaks on farms where they lack direct access, similar to previous strategies used during E. coli outbreaks in romaine lettuce.

scott gottlieb· pfizer· usda· illumina· e. coli

1:28:56 whether it's USDA or farmers allowing the USDA and public health people onto farms to do the testing. Some of the workers are not trustful of the government, so don't want to come forward for testing. So everybody needs to be working better together So these are just the dumb TV doctors, but for me it got a little more serious when Scott Gottlieb former FDA... Is it commissioner? Yeah he was a former commissioner and he's now a board member of Pfizer. And he's got one of the best agents that money can buy Well I think he has...I think its United Artists who is his agent

1:29:38 But he's tied into not just Pfizer, he's on the board there. What's the other company that does also testing? I forget the name of it. It doesn't matter. I detest the fact that you get so much air time. Here he really lays it out because this is CNBC so this is meant to be for financial people and he has some additional details which I thought were at least interesting with a funny little kicker from that host, what's his name? The guy who was

1:30:14 Who doesn't care. Who's been there so long he just says... There are two or three of them Yeah, well you'll know what I'm talking about Charlie, I think whatever The reason why FDA and CDC did this testing of milk is that USDA and APHIS and state regulators wouldn't allow them on the farms to do more widespread testing because they didn't really want to turn over those cases And so this is a bad Illumina Thank you. Illumina, yeah they do the assays and all that for the testing They were also part of the whole COVID scam Okay here we go Because they didn't really want to turn over those cases And so this is a backdoor way to do on-farm testing Instead of testing the cows You test the milk and what we're finding is this virus Is much more pervasive on dairy farms right now than what we originally perceived So that's unfortunate Is it a scary thing? That could jump? It's unfortunate because

1:31:00 The more that we allow this to spread in mammals, the more we're tempting fate that this could evolve in ways it could threaten humans. And they're not letting people on because they don't want to cull the herds? This is a historical problem. The answer is yes! Yes and if they want to go too... K&C Cattle and I will stand there. I'll go and block the feds we do not want these people Testing your cows even though he doesn't have dairy cows it'll come they're all no beef cows Oh, it's everywhere. Oh oh It's the horrible bird flu well We got to call the cows this is a historical problem so when I had outbreaks of E coli in Romaine lettuce I was my inspectors weren't allowed on to the farms and I sent the inspector you what?

1:31:40 He said when I had outbreaks. Yeah, when he was FDA commissioner? Yeah but what...but okay it's just the way he said it. I know! This is a historical problem so when I had outbreaks of E. coli in romaine lettuce my inspectors weren't allowed onto the farms initially So I sent the inspectors to test the adjacent farms The water running off from the farms that I thought the E. coli was coming from, there's always been a tension between human health people who would want to swab everything and animal health people who are worried about some of the economic implications and don't want federal inspectors on their farms. We're seeing that play out here as well this is a very clever move by CDC and FDA to test the milk as a way to identify which farms have outbreaks hopefully it forces the hands of agricultural officials to allow more broad testing

1:32:26 For him, oh this is very clever of CDC to use PCR to find whatever they want. This is a hoax! This is a complete hoax they're coming for your beef. I believe this to be even more obvious. Yeah now here's the guy he makes it funny here Can I get any immunity from the milk, from the fragments of H1N1? How do you know? He says can i get immunity from drinking the milk. You're not going to get immunity from fragments of... Why? What if it was a spike protein? What if I got a spike protein from an h1n1? Because it would have to be transcribed into the protein itself would probably be inactivated. Actually what he said- hold on a second!

CHAPTER 33 / 60 Discussion

Bird Flu Vaccine Development, Industry Motives

Speculation arises that the bird flu narrative is being used to drive the development and sale of new mRNA vaccines for livestock. The hosts suggest that the ultimate goal may be the culling of herds or the forced vaccination of the food supply, rather than a genuine public health emergency.

h1n1· mrna· cattle· vaccines· food supply

1:33:06 There is some logic to what he's saying and Gottlieb is in denial. Yeah, Gottlieb is like hummina-hummina-humminah! Yeah, let me drink more milk and I'll never get bird flu. And then he says well you know it's just fragments because it is PCR. Actually an attenuated flu vaccine is fragments. Because this a lie! This is a big lie for nefarious reasons. Agricultural officials to allow more broad testing Can I get any immunity from the milk? From the fragments of H1N1? How do you know? You're not going to get immunity from fragments of tarn- What if I got a spike protein? What if I got a spike protein from an H1N1? Because it would have to be transcribed into the protein. The protein itself would probably be inactivated, maybe... I think I'm gonna keep eating frosted flakes. You know there's also antiviral drugs for this particular strain? Ohhhh! There is a vaccine. Don't worry there's a vaccine. They've got a vaccine ready

1:34:08 They got a vaccine ready. This is all about the vaccine, it's not about calling the cattle or Texas Slims fears or your fears about getting rid of all our animals and because the vegans are trying to take over this is about selling a vaccine that's going to be coming down the pike I'm with you spin people up about oh bird flu my wife by the way Mimi is one of these people that is fearful of bird flu show has been for 20 years And okay, let's go get it. It's going to be mRNA and people who take it are idiots. No, it's for the cows! Okay well they can... somehow that's not good. No of course not we don't want mRNA in the cattle but when he says there is a vaccine I'm thinking it's a vaccine for the cattle by the way

CHAPTER 34 / 60 Discussion

Salmonella Regulations, Raw Poultry Standards

The USDA is implementing new rules to declare Salmonella an "adulterant" in certain raw poultry products, such as frozen breaded chicken. Producers will be required to reduce bacteria levels to very low thresholds, leading to concerns that the industry will resort to chemical treatments like bleach dipping to meet the new standards.

salmonella· usda· chicken kiev· food safety· bleach dipping

1:34:59 We're not done there. This'll get Mimi spun up. The USDA is imposing a new rule on certain chicken products to prevent food poisoning. Makers of frozen, breaded and stuffed raw chicken products will have to reduce salmonella levels starting next year. Hold on, hold on. Reduce salmonella levels? How about zero salmonella? Is there salmonella in everything? I thought...I have it when you're done with that play my Salmonella clip Then we can discuss it. Okay, makers of frozen breaded and stuffed raw chicken products will have to reduce Salmonella levels starting next year That's when the bacteria will officially be declared an adulterant in raw poultry in the same way certain E coli Bacteria are regarded as contaminants that must be kept out of raw ground beef

1:35:51 The new rules will affect products like frozen chicken cart cordon bleu as well as chicken Kiev what? What she said chicken Kiev don't you know it's chicken Keeve hello? Gordon blue as well as chicken Kiev the that appears to be fully cooked, but isn't they've been linked to more than 200 illnesses since 1998 all right hold on a second mm-hmm two hundred Illnesses, not deaths. Well I don't know if she... yeah! 200 says 1998 Yeah So what is that? 8 a year 9? Doing pretty good. I'm gonna play your salmonella clip now U.S poultry producers will have to cut Salmonella bacteria in some chicken products It's the same lady

1:36:35 No, I don't think it is. Wow! It sounds to me like the same lady... Milieu, milieu Hold on hold on that was this is tripping me out hold a second I'm freaking out man. Let me play the last bit of my clip and then i'll go into yours. That appears to be fully cooked but isn't they've been linked to more than 200 illnesses since 1998 U.S poultry producers will have to cut salmonella bacteria different but same milieu in some chicken products to very low levels to prevent food poisoning A final Agriculture Department regulation issued today applies to frozen, breaded and stuffed raw chicken. It takes effect next year. Salmonella poisoning causes roughly 420 deaths and 1.3 million infections annually in the U.S.. Oh! Well there's a little different report there... Yep

1:37:28 That's interesting. So what does this all mean? It means that whoever has stock in Clorox, you should probably invest more. This is a... What are you going to do? How are you going to get the salmonella off? You dip the chicken, you got your chicken on the line there's hundreds of these chickens thousands, tens of thousands of these chickens. Bleach! Bleach! And you drop it into a vat of bleach And you pull it out of the bleach, rinse it off. It's gonna stink. It's also gonna create that... I don't know if some people will notice this when some vacuum packed stuff would get in some places, you cut the bag open and a stench of sulfurs comes out. This is largely due to the treatment that took place and affected the surface of the product

1:38:16 Yeah, they're gonna dip the chicken in bleach. That's what it is There's probably some company that makes a special dipping device How about this? How about we just get some you know What how about you get the book too many eggs from to many eggs calm too many days calm It's got all the perfect place to advertise Mimi's book TooManyEggs.com with many handy tips on how to not get salmonella from your eggs.

Texas Border Indictments, Governor Greg Abbott

A Texas grand jury indicted over 140 individuals on misdemeanor rioting charges following a mass attempt to breach the border in El Paso. This follows a county judge's initial dismissal of the case, while Governor Greg Abbott faces criticism for his handling of border security and his perceived "showboating" at Eagle Pass.

el paso· greg abbott· illegal immigration· grand jury· rioting charges

1:40:44 A Texas grand jury on Tuesday indicted more than 140 illegal immigrants on misdemeanor rioting charges. That's for an alleged mass attempt to breach the US-Mexico border earlier this month. This comes just a day after a county judge threw the case out, saying there was no probable cause for the arrests. Speaking on NTD News Today, retired ICE and Homeland Security officer Victor Avila says he doesn't understand why the county judge dismissed the case arguing officers always present at least some probable cause.

1:41:23 It never happened to me in my career when I arrested someone on probable cause and then presented them before a judge, and then the judge decided that there wasn't any. Goes to the bigger picture here that there's politics involved for some reason if you're illegal in this country, you seem to get additional protections. Yeah exactly! That Americans know this. Now wait... hold on a second This is in Texas. Yeah, you have a judge that's thrown out despite the evidence we all saw at them charging the border this group of people and now there's no probable cause let him go what is going on in your state? Because you're always condemning California what about this guy? No our state is run by a globalist shill who gets a pass because he's in a wheelchair

1:42:16 That's my, that's my stand. That's what's happening he is on the wrong side of all this and he is a showboater and goes down to that border, Eagle Pass where it's just a little bit of fence in this complete open border two miles on either side and he pretends like he doing something great He's no good. Part two, part... District Attorney Bill Hicks explained how he managed to secure the indictments. He told the El Paso Times that we presented the case as a whole. We presented videotape evidence of what happened. The grand jurors believed there was in fact probable cause

CHAPTER 36 / 60 Discussion

Border Wall Funding, GEO Group Contracts

A GAO report found that the Biden administration used funds allocated for the border wall to conduct environmental planning instead. Simultaneously, the Florida-based GEO Group secured a $25 million annual contract to provide air operations support for ICE, facilitating the transport of immigrants within the country.

dhs· gao· geo group· ice· immigration flights

1:42:56 And in other immigration-related news, the Government Accountability Office issued a new report. It found that the Biden administration spent funds allocated to the border wall partly to conduct standard environmental planning instead This is despite Congress approving the funds for Homeland Security to build a border barrier between 2018 and 2021. Republicans on the House Budget Committee commented on the new report saying DHS continues to play political games that stall contractors and prevent barriers from being built, effectively finding a way to dodge the law. Okay so I thank you for bringing this up

1:43:39 Because we'll also bring in Florida. Oh so, so tough on immigration We need to remind everybody that this is the mission This is the mission that comes from the true overlords of the world which is The Money People and we need to have immigration coming in. We're not making children enough here despite the Ozempig babies Which is a plus for everyone who's an Ozempic your birth control doesn't work So, you know that we got it. We're gonna have a little bit of a jump in newborns but we need to have replacements for people who are not working don't want to work or just too old to work and that's the only way we win is to keep and to keep wages low because the financial system has a real hard time with those 12 rate cuts were supposed to get this year

1:44:33 So we need to suppress wages. Everyone who's doing gig work, it's now done by Venezuelans or others who are quickly getting work permits this is that we're being robbed. It's a jip. We're being robbed. Now let's go to Florida because oh yeah well the border is so important thank you to our producer for catching this press release from March 12th just just a month ago Boca Raton company Geo Group We're on the New York Stock Exchange, ticker GEO. The GEO group announces five-year contract to provide air operations support services for US immigration and customs enforcement. What do you think that's for? It's to fly them in!

1:45:23 It's the fly-in. Why make them do all that work of actually walking in? Yes, $25 million a year five year contract And then you have to once they get in You fly him around and from that point no it's too much work just flying straight to Sioux City Right and that's a Florida company so there's your great governor in Florida Isn't the GEO Group the private prison operation? Let me see what else they do That's a good question I don't know if that's what they do. Geo group, I'm not sure. I can say okay environmental later yeah but it it so it's all a joke

AI Audio Scandal, Pikesville High School

An audio clip featuring racist and antisemitic comments allegedly made by Pikesville High School Principal Eric Eiswert has sparked outrage in Baltimore. While school officials and some experts suggest the clip might be an AI-generated deepfake, the hosts analyze the audio and speculate it may be a genuine recording being dismissed as AI to cover up a scandal.

pikesville high school· eric eiswert· ai audio· baltimore· deepfake

1:46:11 It's a joke and people don't appreciate that we develop these theses, and they come bring it forward. Nobody else is doing this! No no... And then we're condemned They were condemned because, oh you don't like Jews. Oh you like Jews! Oh you don't like Jews... You like Jews? What do we.. We don't like or dislike Jews and then we like people?! Alright so here's another thesis we had which I believe is coming true The Taylor Swift op. Now we called the Taylor Swift... Oh, Taylor Swift is Satanist Op! Well no but we called it the AI all of that and we were flooded with AI We were given the message that you know oh we can make AI I can do anything look at Taylor Swift is doing porn It's all AI and what was the thesis? We developed that this will be used probably when someone

1:47:08 does something wrong, they'll just say I was AI. Yeah, of course. That's what you do that's what I would do Let's go to Baltimore urban audio clips circulating in Pikesville has many parents concerned So the recording contains racist and anti-semitic comments allegedly made by the principal of Pikesville High School But there are a lot of concerns about the validity of the audio And if it could be fake WMAR 2 news is Cara Burnett joins us live from Pikesville this morning so Kara A lot of unanswered questions with the story What we know so far Yeah, absolutely. A lot of unanswered questions for sure now we do know that a lot of parents are outraged but the question remain is it real? Well we have yet to authenticate the clip so we will not be airing the audio but there is speculation that the clip may be AI generated to sound exactly like principal Eric Eiswert Now we also spoke with a UMBC cybersecurity professor who says AI generated clips are on the rise

1:48:06 We have to do is take a deep breath and stop and think and do some due diligence. Let the experts look at this recording and see, is this a real recording? Was this generated by someone some type of technology technical tool? OK, so they won't play the audio because it hasn't been authenticated. But we are The NOAH Agenda podcast. So I'm going to play the audio of this Pikesville High School principal in Baltimore And I want the troll room to pay attention. I want to take a little tally, what do we think? Is this real or is this AI generated? Here we go! You know...I seriously don't understand why I have to constantly put up with these dumbasses here every day Between these ungrateful black kids who can't test their way out of a paper bag Or these teachers who don't get it How hard it is to get students to meet grade level expectations

1:49:02 Lawrence and Ravenel should have never been hired. And don't let me get started on DJ, I'm gonna drag his black ass out of here one way or another! I'm gonna get something to stick...I'm just so sick of the inadequacies of these people. If i have to get one more complaint from one more Jew in this community, I'm going to join the other side." Alright, he's very polarizing He calls out the blacks and he calls out the Jews for complaining What do you think, John? Real or AI?" Well I didn't notice the... since i never heard the guy's voice his real voice and it just if I was presented that out of the blue. I would say it was real is just some guy in a back room grousing unless I was shown otherwise by some sort of a sonogram not well not a sonogram but that's sonar but a uh voicegram one of those

1:50:04 Somebody could show me that how is AI so I'd vote yes, it was real. I think it's real as well now There were these annoying drops but that was an edit of this I guess We can assume that it was cut down, the pauses were taken out. We can assume that because we do that and I'm informed that Pikesville is on the Jewish side of town predominantly Jewish side of town so that kind of adds to it So you guys could see complaining about your local black people Yeah, about your blacks and then saying the Jews are complaining Complaining? And guess what? Oh don't go there! Don't say it

1:50:49 Yeah, I think it's real and I think this is our first in the wild use of AI to cover up A boo-boo. Yeah, a gaffe! To cover up a boo-boo and say no man... It's a hot mic! And it sounds like you know someone under their coat recording it on their smartphone or something? Yeah I would buy it unless I was shown otherwise by an expert and there are experts out there in those guys by the way if you have kids You want to go through life and you don't want to have to really work your ass off? Get into discovering, the technology of finding problems with AI. I mean just as a countermeasure that is a lifetime... at least from this point the way i see it was a lifetime job finding fake photos finding AI art finding... I actually found an article.. I have an AI clip by the way Well I'm going to lead you into that

AI in Research and Film, Glitch Detection

A London librarian's analysis of 5 million scientific studies revealed a massive spike in words like "meticulously" and "intricate," suggesting widespread use of ChatGPT in academic writing. Similarly, Netflix's documentary "What Jennifer Did" faced criticism for allegedly using AI-generated photos of Jennifer Pan, identifiable by "glitches" in the rendering of human hands.

chatgpt· scientific studies· netflix· jennifer pan· generative ai

1:51:54 From a science. Oh yeah, you'll like this. El Pace? Excessive use of words like commendable and meticulous suggests chat GPT has been used in thousands of scientific studies. Well I can believe this! A London librarian has analyzed millions of articles in search of uncommon terms used by artificial intelligence programs And so the librarian Andrew Gray made a very surprising discovery. He analyzed five million scientific studies published last year and detected a sudden rise in the use of certain words such as meticulously, up 137%, intricate, commendable and meticulous I think he's onto something here! I agree He is totally on to something Isn't that interesting?

1:52:53 Yeah, I think this is the kind of... then this is the future. Kids get into it! There you go that now there's a librarian we can respect doing some good work. Most librarians actually are very respectful yeah but you should talk to the women here about the librarian in Fredericksburg school Uh, not so happy. Except for her? Yeah just or him I don't even know if it's a her or him. Don't even know Okay here we go this is what Jennifer did This is the AI scandal from about couple weeks ago What Jennifer did Here we go The new Netflix true crime documentary What Jennifer Did tells the story of a young Canadian woman involved in a 2010 murder-for-hire scheme targeting her parents It was a situation that...I could never have imagined

1:53:43 There's been some criticism, not because the movie is overly grisly or anything but because people suspect the filmmakers used generative AI in the doc. That's just one of a handful of stories about AI in movie making that popped up this week here with us to break them all down is NPR's Chloe Veltman Hey Chloe! Hi Andrew! So how did this documentary What Jennifer Did allegedly use AI and why are people so mad about it? Well, social media has gone bonkers about what looks like the use of AI-generated or manipulated photographs of a young woman at the centre of the film Jennifer Pan. She's currently serving life sentence for a kill for hire attack that killed her mother and severely injured her father so the images appear around the half hour mark in the movie when a high school friend Nam Nhien describes Pan's personality

1:54:30 Jennifer, you know was bubbly happy confident and very genuine His words are accompanied by series of images showing a young and a boolean pan But if you look closely there are these weird glitches for instance trans fingers They're all mangled and human hands can be assistive What have we heard from Netflix and the filmmakers? Well, NPR reached out to Netflix for comment and they didn't want to talk about it. But the film's executive producer Jeremy Grimaldi denied the use of AI in an interview he gave with Toronto Star published on Friday. Hmm... Okay! Yeah they claimed it was Photoshopped but it was just right you know beef up a name no you can tell any who you can tell I can tell almost I'd say 99% of the people that produce this show can tell an AI image

1:55:37 Not all of them, but you can tell the ones that are typically screwed up and you have somebody's hand she's doing a peace sign and she's got like just a mangled hand. It looks like something that went through a meat grinder. It was obviously AI and it's nothing if Photoshop doesn't create mangling or cross-eyed, or big giant boobs like you know typical on some of these AI generated pictures. Yeah it was AI and so they just didn't want to admit it because... And they slopped it together the way I see it because anyone with a keen eye would spot these images as fake. Such an outrage! Mom my true crime is fake! It's an outrage but it's getting into everything

Ham Radio Industry, MFJ Enterprises Closing

MFJ Enterprises, a staple of the amateur radio community for 52 years, announced it is ceasing production of its antennas and accessories. The closure marks the end of an era for marquee brands like Hy-Gain and Cushcraft, as the hobby shifts toward newer technologies like Meshtastic mesh networking.

1:56:29 No, everybody's heads are twisted. You know the title what Jennifer did made me makes me think of we were talking about on the last show about Jennifer Aniston people calling her Jennifer Maniston like every celebrity actress is now a dude online and I was at church this morning and someone came up to me and said oh you need to tell John about Victoria's Secret it's called Victoria's Secret for a reason They're all dudes just so you know.

Refurbished Intel NUC, Hardware Value

The value of refurbished Intel NUC 5 units is highlighted, with the hosts noting they can be purchased for around $68 including a Windows license. These units are compared favorably to Beelink mini-PCs for podcast production tasks, despite having lower base RAM that may require inexpensive upgrades.

intel nuc· beelink· refurbished hardware· windows· podcast production

1:58:59 And so it's basically small little radios and then you can create a mesh network amongst your buddies while you're all greasing up your AR-15s. You can send text messages, I think I'm fine with my 20 meter rig hooked up to a wire seems to be doing just fine. I reach all over the country with 12 watts. I'm fine with that So I ran into a deal. A deal? And it was just a fluke, and I don't think you can find this page if you wanted to but i'm going to put it in the newsletter because people are bailing out from the newsletter because there's nothing valuable in there...I don't know. There should be output of- I'm not gonna tell you the link or where it even comes from but I'm gonna put it in the newsletter so I ran and I got one of these things

1:59:57 I found a refurbished NUC 5 from Intel which is twice as fast as the Beelings that i have and I use a NUC to do the podcast and it happens to be a NUC5. It's the older ones, I think they're eight years old... What are the guts? What's the power? what's the frequency? It's got a, uh... I think it is an i5 of some sort. Oh! And as opposed to the Celeron? What's my B-Link? Is the B-Link Celeron? I guarantee you this is the Celeron. Okay, I run the entire production on a B-Link here Yeah and those are... You know this amazing product for $168 or $200 dollars you get that B-Link because it does everything This NUC 5 is twice as fast, its refurbished

2:00:49 but it's twice as fast, it's got more features and 68 bucks. And does that include Windows? And it includes Windows! Wow So you have a fresh version of Windows, 68 bucks It's twice as fast as your Beelink, its dynamite product and I stumbled on this by accident so I said well this is ridiculous, bought one, got it It's a little truck. I mean, if it this... How much on-board RAM? It's a little light in the loafers. It's got four gigs of RAM and 120... Four gigs of RAM! You need at least eight to run anything. You can go buy a little 8 for nothing. This is old. Yeah but then that's not up to the price. Maybe it's gonna cost you 80 bucks total. But no wonder your spreadsheet freezes

2:01:50 So no, I'm not using it now. Oh My little nuck is loaded at the gills with memory tell me what's your? Little nut got I'm just it's got 16 gigs plus a 256 SSD Which is fine for deferred podcasting but I'm just saying 68 bucks Wow, everybody. Aren't you glad you're listening to the best podcast in the universe? I'm just saying people want to subscribe to the newsletter then get the link there. I'm not going to talk about it anymore. That's probably the worst idea since me reading the legislation. People love this information they want to know about this what we do We go out and check things out. I got a lot of feedback on the E-Safety Commissioner

CHAPTER 41 / 60 Discussion

Australian eSafety Commissioner, X Content Removal

The Australian eSafety Commissioner, a former Twitter employee, is attempting to force X to remove footage of a knife attack on a priest in Sydney globally. Elon Musk has opposed the directive, leading to a debate over the reach of national legislation and the historical use of ISP-level blocking for sites like Zero Hedge and 8chan.

julie inman grant· australia· elon musk· x· online censorship

2:02:46 in the UK. Oh, the spook? Yeah here's one anonymous Adam and John I prefer to say no you got it. I thought to send a note regarding John's clips from show 1654 on the Australian East Safety Commissioner The East Safety Commission has been ticking along quietly in the background for a number of years by the way this is coming to America there's gonna be e-safety because you know to protect the Jews don't worry it's all coming The eSafety Commission has been ticking along quite in the background for a number of years. It is a component of a government department whose primary role has been dealing with email and phone scams as well as managing legitimate telemarketing company practices and advertising legislation, it's quite the organization there

2:03:27 Something not mentioned in your discussion is that our e-safety commissioner is also a former Twitter employee moving straight from Twitter to government in 2016. So we thought that she was, she came from Microsoft but apparently she was also at Twitter...in the old Twitter The primary focus of the current discussion in the country is whether certain clips can be shared online. In this case, specifically footage of the knife attack on an Assyrian Orthodox priest in Sydney while he was holding a service which I think happened with the knife sheathed, and so there's no blood drawn. The community became very agitated after the attack and small-scale public disturbances occurred which the police in government blamed on the distribution of this clip on X. It is unclear exactly how far the government's power extends in this case though they're attempting to push it by ordering the content removed

2:04:25 In a strange twist, they've even directed people in other countries to remove the clip from their X page. For instance Canada This has led to the conversation in the clips you played regarding clarifying legislation Historically the government has had limited success with multiple nationals abiding by these directives As a result most legislation targets ISPs to do the heavy lifting Example of this including the banning of zero hedge and 8chan in the aftermath of the Christchurch shooting which, of course was in New Zealand. Elon Musk has been the public target as he has been in vocal opposition though this sort of thing isn't a new story here last note John you've been mispronouncing the Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's name it's Alben-Easy

NPR CEO Catherine Maher, Institutional Trust

New NPR CEO Catherine Maher's background in government-funded NGOs and "color revolutions" is scrutinized following an interview on Reid Hoffman's podcast. Maher's comments on the internet's role in exposing "fissures" in institutions and the need for "human SLAs" (Service Level Agreements) are criticized as bureaucratic jargon.

catherine maher· npr· reid hoffman· color revolutions· slas

2:05:16 Albany's easy. Yeah, I've been saying albany's yes Albin easy albany's easy Yes, keep up the good fight Thank you for your courage that sorry well. I should pronounce his real name Elmer Fudd Just take a look at this picture and tell me I'm wrong Elmer fud there's been a lot of information coming out about our new NPR CEO Catherine Meyer? Another one. Yes, she was apparently quite involved in a number of color revolutions around the time of the Middle East and North African Color Revolutions Go figure! Isn't that interesting?!

2:05:56 Much of 2011, Maher worked for the National Democratic Institute a government-funded NGO with deep connections to US intelligence. This is from The City Journal I think they're pretty good actually The City Journal and the Democratic Party's foreign policy machine the organization was set up to do independently what CIA had done covertly worldwide says national security analyst J Michael Waller So she is definitely this agent of change. She was part of a revolutionary vanguard movement at NDI and my buddy Dave Jones over at Podcasting 2.0, he found an interview that she did which I think is

2:06:39 This was done in January. This was probably part of her audition process because it's with Reid Hoffman on Reid Hoffman's podcast, you know what I mean? It's like hey yeah you gotta go on Reid Hoffman's podcast and if you make it-if you pass the muster there we can bring ya'in so...you wanna hear these clips? Absolutely. Here she is I think the internet has been catastrophic for trust but perhaps not for all of the reasons we might think when i say catastrophic, I think that what has happened is not that the internet has destroyed trust it isn't the internet has surfaced

2:07:20 fissures within systems and allowed them to grow and grow publicly at an exponential rate. And so when, for example we think about trust in institutions which is something that I'm very interested in when it comes to sort of institutional governance institutions fit for purpose. And I mean, institutions in the abstract and in the literal sense. So the institution of universal suffrage is an institution although it doesn't have like a brand name. The issues that we've seen there are that many of these institutions were built around a

2:07:56 a sort of homogenous population that they were serving. They were not terribly responsive, both in terms of accountability to that population and then when we started to see increasingly heterogeneous populations due to immigration diversification civil rights movement etc., etc. We started to see how those institutions where we're not actually sort of fit for purpose What the internet has done is it has exposed those fissures in ways that are related to both. We now interface with all sorts of technologies, platforms and services that are hyper responsive to our needs and have created an anticipation of a much more frictionless, much more productive set of processes, services outcomes

2:08:50 SLA, functionally human SLAs. Human SLAs John! This is the newest gobbledygook. SLA is service level agreement so it's now human service level agreements she's nuts I would agree that she's nuts 100%. 100% you heard me say it. Unbelievable! What she is really saying is podcasts ruined our business, that what I hear her saying. Oh yeah, I can see you hearing that and maybe she's saying because she has tried and tried and tried, the NPR or not she

CHAPTER 43 / 60 Discussion

Podcast Networks, Streaming Service Churn

The traditional media "lineup" model is described as dead, with consumers increasingly using a "churn" strategy of subscribing to services like Netflix or Hulu to binge specific content before canceling. The "value for value" model is presented as the only sustainable path forward for independent creators as major networks like Paramount face financial collapse.

npr· netflix· hulu· paramount· value for value

2:09:29 But NPR has tried to do podcasting and it's just like basically NPR on a pot, you know. Repurpose is crappy! Here's what happened... You know they went in for all the, you know let's do black queer hosts doing a hip-hop show What they miss over there Is that the network isn't like you can't monetize the network It's like your podcast app is now your podcast network. You subscribe to the shows you want to hear and you play them when you want to hear them. You don't need this, uh... ...this shill for whatever intelligence or anybody for that matter! You don't need an NPR to try and create a lineup that's going to be perfect for you Nobody cares anymore It's like Disney! Lineups are dead! Exactly! Lineups are dead That's a good way of putting it. Lineups are dead

2:10:25 You know, people subscribe to Netflix to binge the new series and then they quit their subscription. Yeah! In fact there was one of the... I was reading on one of the forums somebody going on bitching and moaning saying you know what? I will subscribe to Netflix and then binge watch everything. I want to watch it in house cancel subscription now subscribe to Hulu And then I'll watch what you know is there and I'll binge watching then I'll unsubscribe me So you got my only paying $19 a month ever that's right That's why the only way forward the only way forward is value for value where you pay

2:11:07 for the program that you want to hear at the value you ascribe to it. It would be a much better argument if our donations were crap today, it would be a much better argument that way but that's really where it's going there is no other way people have the power And exactly right. So they, you know, people have 20 bucks a month for their media on the streaming because it's really not worth much more than that and they just hop around like okay I'll get Hulu 20 bucks cancelled next month is something else next month is something else

2:11:45 Yeah, and you can catch up with everything if you have the wherewithal. I mean Paramount is about to go out of business! They're trying to get rid of it. Larry Ellison's kid is gonna buy up some scrap metal which will be known formally known as Paramount...I wouldn't even think that what he's buying is any good Have you been following that? The Paramount saga? I've been following in the trades a bit but uh.. That thing basically just collapsed After Sumner Redstone's daughter took over. I'm not saying it was her fault. Oh, yeah well she hates the...I think she hated the old man and if you ever...and I met him once and I can see how that can be He seems to be that kind of guy that would instill hate And uh...And she wants to rid everything...she wants to destroy everything That he built up! He is very proud of his accomplishments

Catch and Kill, Media Suppression Tactics

The practice of "catch and kill"—buying the rights to a story specifically to prevent its publication—is discussed in the context of the National Enquirer. A host shares a personal anecdote about a Silicon Valley magazine paying for a "top ten" story that was never published, illustrating how the tactic is used beyond political scandals.

david pecker· national enquirer· catch and kill· silicon valley· journalism

2:12:43 You want to hear the second clip from Catherine Marr or is it too much to handle? I can do without unless there's something in there that's a gem. I really don't remember, but i'm not going to risk it. It does bring me to this since we were talking about lack of trust It brings me to, and I don't know why this is but it brings you to a three by three. Oh hold on. Thank you for recognizing my speed. That's right, we got the top three networks and the top three new shows. And here is where we compare all this stuff. So the point is that we've talked about this

2:13:30 probably in 20 years ago. 100 years ago and this was actually the 3x3 for the last show which I didn't run and then they kept harping on it on these networks, and this is like the revelation that the guy who runs Pecker or whatever his name is... National Enquirer. Wait a minute can I just say? It's very possible that the three by three is driving people away. I'm just saying! I'd never like to three by three. All right, so this is... But the fact that networks keep harping on this as though the public really wants to know this and the thinking is look there's this guy who bought off all these stories and then- By the way, I had this happen to me

2:14:29 If anyone who wants to talk about, you know a... What happened? You paid off a hooker? A porn star. No I wrote a story once and I think the magazine was called Focus and it was KQED it was a local publication they hired me to write an article on the top 10 this in the top ten that in the top ten this and the top ten that in Silicon Valley some years ago so I was paid they gave me the money they never published the story and I'll tell you why they didn't publish the story I had all these different, it wasn't like it was elaborately written or anything that you know this guy can write and we're gonna... No. They got paid for the story and then they killed it

2:15:09 because I had all these different, the top three restaurants. I think it was mostly top threes. Top three restaurants in Silicon Valley and the top three car washes is the top three of this top three that... And so I had all these top threes- Stop! What was the number one car wash in Silicon Valley? I don't remember. This was like 10 years ago or longer but here's the kicker that I had the top three charities of Silicon Valley One blank two blank three blank And that was the end of that story So this is not an unusual thing to kill stories. Yeah, so it's a explain briefly catch and kill

Donald Trump Trial, Gag Order Violations

Testimony from former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker detailed his efforts to protect Donald Trump's 2016 campaign by burying negative stories. Meanwhile, prosecutors are seeking to hold Trump in criminal contempt for violating a gag order that prevents him from attacking trial witnesses like Michael Cohen and Stormy Daniels.

donald trump· david pecker· stormy daniels· michael cohen· gag order

2:15:54 Catch and kill or whatever it's called. Let's start with ABC. Today as Donald Trump listened intently, the former publisher of The National Enquirer for the first time laying out the extraordinary relationship between candidate Trump and the sordid supermarket tabloid David Pecker grinning widely as he pointed out Trump in the courtroom. The former president smirking back. The two men had been friends for years Pecker told the jury he was convinced women would come forward with salacious stories to sell because Trump was the most eligible bachelor and dated the most beautiful woman. Trump perking up at that description, and then visibly perturbed, pursing his lips and crossing his arms as Pecker started to detail one example—the story of former Playboy model Karen McDougal who claims to have had a year-long affair with Trump which he denies

2:16:38 Finally, Pecker testified he and Trump got on the phone. He said he told Trump to buy the rights to McDougal's story. Trump's response? I don't buy stories! Anytime you do anything like this it always gets out Ultimately, Pecker's company paid Karen McDougall $150,000 for the rights to her story but never published it all to protect Trump Before today's testimony, prosecutors accused Trump of repeatedly violating the judge's gag order attacking witnesses even potential jurors. Defense attorneys insisted Trump is complying but the judge interjected you're losing credibility there was no immediate ruling from the judge but David prosecutor said it's almost as if

2:17:18 Trump is trying to force the judge to throw him in jail and tonight sources told ABC News The Secret Service is actually preparing for that possibility. It's really unbelievable how our national press is obsessed with, with porn farts I mean it's just amazing these people are sick I'm not going to argue that. Here we go with NBC Tonight, Mr Trump's longtime friend David Pecker the former publisher of The National Enquirer offering the jury a rare glimpse into the underworld tabloid tactics The day began with the judge taking the defense team to task over Mr Trump's posts on social media targeting Cohen and Stormy Daniels The state seeking to hold Mr Trump in criminal contempt

2:18:09 for violating the judge's gag order that bars him from attacking trial witnesses. So they can talk about me, they can say whatever they want, they can lie? But I'm not allowed to say anything. I'd love to say everything that's on my mind." In court, the defense arguing Mr Trump should be permitted to respond to political attacks and the gag order should not cover reposts of someone else The judge didn't rule today but seemed exasperated telling lead defense attorney Todd Blanche you are losing all credibility with the courts Minutes later during a break, Mr. Trump back on truth social falsely writing the judge had taken away his right to free speech this is a kangaroo court

2:18:50 You know, maybe I'm falsely writing. Maybe he wrote it! He didn't falsely write? Maybe i'm seeing this the wrong way...maybe this is really just a part of trying to get middle america to vote for trump they really want him in like wow this guy's just as broken as we are over here yeah well you know he just has bigger brokenness I'm telling you, they want him in so bad. Everyone knows that all these things will go to appeal. He's not going to be thrown in jail before the elections? Everyone knows this is just more get him in so we can collapse everything on his watch. Well...I mean that's kind of the point we've been making for some time. Yeah! So they spend all this time on THESE stories. Oh boy!

CHAPTER 46 / 60 Discussion

Trump Courtroom Observations, Media Access

Details from the Trump trial include allegations that the National Enquirer promoted fake stories about political opponents Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio. The media's ability to report on Trump's facial expressions is explained by the presence of a camera feed in the courtroom overflow room, which provides a direct view not available to those sitting behind the defense table.

ted cruz· marco rubio· rachel maddow· courtroom sketch· overflow room

2:19:46 Alright, so let's go to the final solution. CBS Former President Trump aired his frustration with being in court today. It is a very unfair situation After listening to former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker A man he has known for over three decades I mean even the fact that the guys name is Pecker Everybody knows the joke everybody is in on it Hey Martha Pecker explained the strategy he testified they agreed upon ahead of the 2016 election. The paper would bury any negative news about Trump while promoting fake stories about his political opponents, including Senators Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio. Pecker testified the plan was concocted at Trump Tower in 2015. Trump and former fixer Michael Cohen allegedly asked him how we could help the campaign

2:20:38 He told them, I would be your eyes and ears explaining the practice of catch-and-kill. The Inquirer would buy the rights to any damaging story about Trump and never publish it Prosecutors say that plan was the origin of Cohen's $130,000 payment to former adult film star Stormy Daniels to keep her quiet. Did he say film store? I think you said film store instead of star. They that plan was the origin of Cohen's one hundred and thirty thousand dollar payment two former adult film stars stormy daniels to keep her quiet. That's what he said. Film store about an alleged sexual encounter with Trump who denies it all

2:21:13 One example of catch and kill discussed in court today involved the Trump building doorman who was selling what turned out to be a fake story about Trump fathering his son. Pecker told the jury today he bought the story because of the potential embarrassment it would have to the campaign and Mr. Trump. In the gag order herein, the prosecution argued that Trump should be held in contempt for all of his scathing commentary about this case. Trump's lawyer Todd Blanch said his client is being careful with his words to that the judge said, that's just not credible. I have an answer here to your question one of our producers sent this from the BBC how they know about Trump's facial expressions in the courtroom? Yes

2:22:01 a quizzical regarding Rachel Maddow somehow seeing his face when she's got he's got his back to her. Yes, so Kayla your descriptions of everybody's body language and facial expressions and things that you can see from inside the courthouse are absolutely gripping? It's interesting because I when i'm in the courtroom I see him from the back and from the side at one point I was sitting literally right behind right behind him and could really like detect his body language, but I can't see his face. When i'm in the overflow room I can see all the expressions he's making because there's a camera pointed right at him that they're feeding into us so I've had both the views of reading his body and sort of his mood at the defense table and also just being able to see the expressions on his face." So they got a camera on his face in the overflow room...that's how they do it!

CHAPTER 47 / 60 Discussion

Supreme Court Immunity Hearing, Presidential Pardons

The Supreme Court heard arguments regarding presidential immunity, with Justices Alito and Gorsuch questioning the implications of a president's ability to pardon themselves. The discussion explored whether the threat of future prosecution would incentivize outgoing presidents to issue self-pardons to ensure "bold and fearless action" while in office.

supreme court· samuel alito· neil gorsuch· self-pardon· immunity

2:22:46 Well, how does that jive with Rachel being so happy to be in the courtroom herself? Oh maybe she's lying. Could it be possible you think? No! You think Rachel Maddow would be lying?! Our constitutional lawyer Rob made 14 clips for me of the discussion in the Supreme Court about immunity I'm gonna move those to Thursday Because no way can we play all of them. But some of them, we've already handled. I just like the fact that we have a lawyer that does stuff like that. But I could if you want to hear play the two clips about a president pardoning himself

2:23:36 Which was also discussed. I would be interested in that, yeah you wouldn't. I can tolerate two clips. We've heard the Supreme Court talk about it and they're very slow talking. Here's Alito talking to Drabin is the guys name and this is the first one about presidential pardoning himself On the question of whether a president has the authority to pardon himself, which came up earlier in the argument. What's the answer to that question? I don't believe that Department of Justice has taken a position – The only authority that I'm aware is a member of the Office of Legal Counsel wrote on a memorandum That there is no self-pardon authority As far as I know, the department has not addressed it further And of course this court had not

2:24:18 addressed it either. When you address that question before us, are you speaking in your capacity solely as a member of the special counsel's team or are you speaking on behalf of the Justice Department which has special institutional responsibilities? I am speaking on behalf for the Justice Department representing the United States Now how, don't you think we need to know the answer at least to the Justice Department's position on that issue in order to decide this case? Because if a president has the authority to pardon himself before leaving office

2:24:58 And the DC Circuit is right that there is no immunity from prosecution. Won't the predictable result be that presidents on the last couple of days of office are going to pardon themselves from anything they might have been conceivably charged with committing? I really doubt that, Justice Alito and it sort of presupposes a regime we've never had except for President Nixon and, as alleged in the indictment here. Presidents who are conscious of having engaged in wrongdoing and seeking to shield themselves I think the political consequences of a president who asserted a right of self-pardon that has never been recognized that seems to contradict a bedrock principle of our law that no person shall be the judge in their own case those are adequate deterrents so this kind of dystopian regime is not going to evolve

2:25:49 Okay, any comments before I go to Gorsuch on the same issue? None. What would happen if presidents were under fear that their successors would criminally prosecute them for their acts in office whether it's whether they're engaged in drone strike all the hypotheticals It seems to me like one of the incentives that might be created is for presidents to try to pardon themselves Do you have any thoughts about that? That is, I didn't think of that until- This. I forgot to mention this is Sauer who has the voice of...I don't know what this is

2:26:31 This has got to be a medical issue. It's very, it's only 40 seconds is hard to listen to this person that is didn't think of that until your honor asked if that is certainly one incentive that might be creative what we think is most important We've never answered whether president can do that happily it's never been presented to us and If the doctrine of immunity remains in place That's likely to remain the case For those very issues, as Fitzgerald I think very powerfully emphasized the real concern here is Is there going to be bold and fearless action? Is the president gonna have to make a controversial decision where his political opponents are gonna come after him The minute he leaves office. Is that gonna unduly deter or dampen the ardor of that president To do what our constitutional structure demands of him or her which is bold and fearless action in face of controversy

Antony Blinken in China, Xi Jinping Meeting

Secretary of State Antony Blinken met with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing to warn against China's support for Russia's military efforts in Ukraine. While Blinken emphasized maintaining lines of communication to avoid miscalculation, Xi called for "common ground" rather than "vicious competition" between the two superpowers.

antony blinken· xi jinping· beijing· russia· war materiel

2:27:20 And perhaps if he feels he has to, he'll pardon himself every four years from now on. AI or not AI? That's a crazy voice! Well that's interesting stuff... Yeah I mean yes i think it's interesting but you know To a point is You know it's not about Gaza so who knows we're not hair on fire So I guess Blinken just as the last one going into the interim He went to China Yeah, here's what PBS had to say about it. Let me see where- What did you title this? Blinken. Blinken! That makes sense. Meanwhile another member of the Biden cabinet Secretary of State Antony Blinken warned Chinese President Xi Jinping today against supporting Russia's war in Ukraine The two men met in Beijing. Blinken said he told Xi that China must stop supplying Russia with critical war materiel or the US will act. Nooooooo

2:28:19 He did not elaborate, but he did acknowledge progress in other areas. We are committed to maintaining and strengthening the lines of communication between us so that we avoid any miscommunications, any misperceptions, any miscalculations and we are committed to responsibly managing the relationship For his part, Xi said China and the U.S. must seek common ground rather than engage in what he called quote vicious competition I saw a video of Xi waiting for Blinken to come in and he was talking to his aids His aids And they—hot mic hot mic and let me give you the exact translation Let me see where is it here? It was something like

2:29:08 Is he here yet? And I was like, no. He has to leave in 45 minutes and she says good get him out of here. It's all AI it's all AI except we're not a I am with that I'd like to say in the morning to you the man who put these see in call the cows say hello to my friend on the other end Mr John C Devorah In the morning to you Mr. Adam Curry, in the morning to all ships at sea boots on the ground feet in the air and subs in the water that dames of the nights out there Hello trolls!

No Agenda Production, Listener Contributions

The hosts discuss the "value for value" production model, thanking listeners for providing time, talent, and treasure, including legal analysis and custom artwork. Artist Matt Boivere is credited for the episode's cover art, while the role of the dog Phoebe in the show's dynamic is debated among the audience.

2:29:53 By 8 trolls, 1855. And by the way these trolls have nice purple hair I like seeing you trolls very good You can become a troll join them at TrollRoom.io Which is really fun to do if you have time on Thursdays and Sundays because unlike most of those podcasts that are edited, and all the uh's and um's are taken out. And oh no they left a long pause of silence gotta edit that out got to make it exactly two hours we on the other hand doing we're doing a performance for you

2:30:29 Neither one of us knows what we're coming to the table with. John sends me clips I don't look at, actually I look at the titles and say okay I clearly don't have to clip anything about Blinken in China because John's got it but otherwise we put it together with the help of you The producers who produce this show, Time Talent and Treasure. We love it when you're in a deep state in the defense industrial base and you tell us that it's all about China we love it when people...we have our constitutional lawyer making clips! He sat there he listened to the most boring stuff in the universe And was able to make clips I mean this is a beautiful beautiful thing

2:31:10 That's how you can return value to the show because quite honestly, we're not like NPR. We don't have 25 people to work on Radio Labs. We don't have true crime where we'd do AI falsifications no it just two dudes two microphones a beelink and a nook that's what you got and then and that's why we're here! And we love our artists who always help with some fantastic value by making artwork that we can use, again something that you could not afford if you wanted to contract artists to make artwork for every single episode which has been going on for 15 years this episodic art. So they do it out of returning value to the show

2:31:56 And for that very reason, I want to thank Matt Boivere. This was by far the episode 1654 titled e-safety which made sense of course we talk about the E-Safety Commissioner this was the TikTok logo draped in the American flag it wasn't draped it was turned into yeah but it looks like it's draped It looks like it was wrapped around the TikTok logo. Don't you think so? Oh, okay you can do that Yeah I think it looked like it was wrapped around the logo It's just a dynamite piece It was a great piece Lots of people tried other things Like Negative Second What else did we have here? Lots of Phoebe Art Appreciate the Phoebe Art You actually were kind of pushing for

2:32:45 A weird piece which was Trump's lawyer with a gas mask, with the green cloud of I guess fart gas and Phoebe in the background. Oh yeah! You thought no i like that piece. The Scaramonga's piece. It was Phoebe in the background that was the funny part as the judge. Multiple Phoebe pieces of art uh comic strip blogger you used his piece for the newsletter Yes, I did. Yes and he was very upset that you didn't credit him with that so I'm doing it now. What would I credit him? He's people... You know the- I think- I never credited him with art with the art ever! I think that Art tanked donations. I think that's what did it. Could be could be but I know like we got a lot of complaints about Phoebe Well I got pluses and minuses

2:33:37 Some people... It could be Phoebe that killed the show. There you go, some people said oh no it sounded great she's awesome plus two for Phoebe and others were like your concentration was off you should listen to yourself! It's a different person from the anti-Semitism. It is all different people. It is the same guy! No, no it's all different people. You got to give them more variety Thank you Matt Boivare we appreciate your work and of course all the work that all of the artists do diligently and now it's good to see non AI art Now doesn't mean that we're gonna choose it because it doesn't always hit on the mark but in this case I mean this was great Matt really nailed us

Digital De-platforming, Historical Censorship

Concerns are raised about the potential for major platforms like Apple and Spotify to de-platform podcasts based on new federal laws regarding "illegal chants" or speech. The roots of modern self-censorship are traced back to the "politically correct" movement of the late 1970s, which evolved into today's hate speech and bullying regulations.

apple· spotify· first amendment· political correctness· speakers' corner

2:34:22 And thank you to Dreb Scott for using many of these pieces of art in the Modern Podcast apps, in the chapters. If you don't have one and your really missing out on some fun stuff go to podcastapps.com get yourself a Modern Podcast app You're going to need it because with the coming clampdown your going to see Apple and Spotify YouTube music podcasts, whatever that is. You're going to see them de-platforming you're going to see your podcast taken off again it's a foregone conclusion because you can't say from the river to the sea That is one of the chants that will be federal law. Illegal Chant! Yeah, no it's a good name for the show illegal chance I like that. Illegal Chance. Yeah, that is pretty good which is pathetic yeah

2:35:14 It's illegal speech, which as we noted all this started in 2011 with the bullying laws and hate speech And that's kind of where we lost our way I would take it back to the late 70s and early 80s when did the concept of political? Politically correct speech came into play that began the self-censorship process I'll give you that. Yeah, I'll give you that. And then after that it slowly evolved into well let's see how far we can push this and see how stupid the American public is to put up with us. It's amazing what's happened all over the world so far and we're like the last holdout

2:35:52 And now we're just like... Yes, because as yeah we've played clips. Lots of clips that to this effect well you know unlike the United States we haven't got a First Amendment to protect us and so these laws come into place and we really don't have any way to push back on them Yeah the only thing he got left in the UK is Speaker's Corner Have you ever been to that? Yeah, I reported on it. There's nobody there! I reported on it last time we were there and you're right there was nobody there although I have seen some videos recently of people because that's the only place you can still say stuff You can still say stuff on Speaker's Corner Is that the corner of Hyde Park I'm gonna say yeah It's in Hyde Park over at Mayfair

Coffee Brewing Techniques, Executive Resumes

A detailed discussion on coffee brewing explores the benefits of the Breville espresso machine and the transition from dark to light roasts. Additionally, Linda Lupatkin of Image Makers Inc. is recognized for her long-standing support and her professional executive resume services.

breville· french press· light roast· sumatra· linda lupatkin

2:48:07 And I was a dark roast nut. And then, I discovered some light roasts and with this the machine I use the Australian machine which I don't know it makes a great cup of coffee and it is like for some reason it just takes light roasts and says here try this! It's like beyond It's beyond compare. It's just so much better than the harsh dark red, and now I don't even like dark roast! Can I ask you a culinary question? How do you make your coffee? And I'll say up front...I am a French press guy

2:48:51 Oh, no I use a machine. I use the what's it Breslin? Brezler? Breville? Breville! I use a Breville. I have a Breville like that got it for Christmas about five years ago everyone pitched in and bought me a oh this is Breville has got the grinder and everything so thats basically automated That's an expensive machine It's a very expensive machine and they took like eight people to pay for it huh And ever since then I've been using it and I That's when I gravitated to light roasts. And, I realized that with the light roasts which are part of...

2:49:27 they just produce a different product, but that machine really makes the light roast killer. That's the coffee I had...I was in Indonesia one year for some meetup. Was it Obama family reunion? No no there used to be pre-Obama and i was having coffee at this hotel that was so good! It was like Sumatra or something But it was a light roast coffee that you could not stop drinking it. And then I realized with the... Sorry, just take it too long. No! It's okay. The Breville and a light roast espresso made with light roast

2:50:07 It's just that coffee is what I've always been looking for and it is a stunner. So now if I have anything medium light, I can tolerate light as better but its...I'm done with the dark roast and I don't...yeah haven't used the French press probably for three years. Well Since we don't have advertisements or creepy corporate money, I will vouch for the Breville product line. We just got rid of after more than 10 years of constant everyday use our Breville hot water heater it finally started and which was not only a water heater Tina also used it to kill crickets It's a kettle? Is a kettle yeah. I didn't know they even made one of those Yes smart kettles They don't okay since were on the topic

2:50:58 So I've gone through kettles for, I've had kettles probably since the first time we went to England in the 70s. Since tea was invented? And so these kettle are all made in China they last about two years, 2 and a half year before they crap out And so I've probably gone through 10 kettles. They just crap out, they don't stop boiling or they... Costco has them and they've been having them for a number of years now, Costco, and you get it for like $10-12 bucks. I'm sure the Breville's like 30 but yeah, Breville would make a product that lasts. No, the Breville is expensive. Remember it's a smart kettle

2:51:44 Well, it's basically the same thing I bought 10 years ago. It's just now a little different design. It's beyond... Well your last of ten years is five times longer than a Chinese Costco kettle will last so there's that. I'm gonna go take a look and see where it's manufactured. I wonder if- It was probably made in China but you have quality control issues things, you know? Yeah yeah now we have one last donation. Yes, yes go Another smart money donation from Linda Lupatkin, obviously from Lakewood Colorado who promotes herself with $200 donations and she wants some jobs karma.

Napoleon the Newfoundland, Peachtree City Rescue

In a "good news" segment, the story of Napoleon, a 140-pound Newfoundland dog, is shared. Firefighters in Peachtree City, Georgia, rescued the lifeless dog from a burning condo through a bedroom window and successfully revived him using life-saving measures, leading to a healthy reunion with his family.

newfoundland dog· peachtree city· fire rescue· napoleon· good news

3:08:49 This is about the saving of a Newfoundland dog, the giant Newfie that was in a fire and it's a terrible story but they saved the dog and now he's in good spirits. It's just a dog story let's go! Fox 5 has the dramatic photos of Peachtree City firefighters rescuing a family's dog from their burning home. Rescuers say it was touch-and-go and wait until you hear How big this dog is. Fox News Doug Evans talked with the family and first responders This is Napoleon, a 10 year old Newfoundland He's had a hard week Firefighters found his lifeless body on the bedroom floor of his family's Peachtree City condo Tuesday They say smoke was sealing to floor from the fire The only way out for Napoleon and his rescue team was through this window

3:09:33 The big fella weighs 140 pounds. After squeezing through that window, again the firefighters and the dog together they set to work on life-saving measures I think at least five people carry in the backboard so it was like carrying a human Firefighters then rushed him to an emergency vet for further life saving intervention It worked Napoleon was released three days later and in good health, and was at the destroyed condo for a reunion with his rescuers and family. It's awesome to be able to give back and everything and see that we had a positive outcome

3:10:09 They are amazing. This was a devastating loss for us and they kept it from being just a complete tragedy But they say for now Napoleon is enough, and they're grateful Everything that we lost is replaceable except for... Napoleon In Peachtree City, Doug Evans Fox 5 News. You heard about that? Didn't she put the dog down? Yeah, she just... The puppy! Was a puppy. Is that a good story?

He may have sharted himself And I did nothing wrong. Absolutely nothing wrong. Yeah, that's what happened. But it is better than... You know could it be a jury intimidation if Trump is farting?
