Texas Weather Anomalies, Caterpillar Invasion

The Texas Hill Country experienced unusual 70-degree weather and heavy rain during early May 2024. A massive invasion of thick black caterpillars occurred simultaneously, which notably transform into moths rather than butterflies despite the presence of cedar trees.

CHAPTER 02 / 41 Discussion

Kristi Noem, Puppy Execution Controversy

South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem faced bipartisan backlash after confessing in her book to shooting her 14-month-old puppy, Cricket, for being untrainable. Speculation suggests Noem may have included the story intentionally to disqualify herself from Donald Trump's vice-presidential shortlist without having to decline the offer directly.

01:57 I have the tuxedo collection and other rules. Since you brought it up, I'm amazed by the outrage over Christy Noom killing her dog Cricket Well, I think...I got an earful from Mimi. Oh really? Who owns a kennel you might add Yeah So she's a protector of dogs She is a dog person About how horrible this woman is and I said everybody's missing the point about this Everybody! And I think you probably too How about this? How bout' I play a clip and then uh You'll tell us what point we're missing and then I'll give you my opinion Both sides on the aisle do not agree on much right now

02:41 But they have been united in outrage over South Dakota's Governor Kirstie Noem's confession that she shot her 14-month old puppy dog because she couldn't train him. Give it back, bitch! Give it back! Why you gonna kill me? But, and she says it killed her neighbor's chickens. She defended herself though she claimed that it was tough decisions like this that happen on farms all the time And that she followed the law and was being a responsible parent Dog owner and neighbor Nah Which part was the parenting part?

03:23 I'm keeping this to myself. I'm gonna let y'all talk What is your opinion on such things? I start with you with the baby doll literally who's just over 14 months Yeah, this is a puppy if your dog isn't acting wrongly It's because you were incompetent at training that dog and I grew up we had big dogs You had a chicken, and the dog did once get a chicken. Whose fault was it? Mine for not having the dog somewhere where he couldn't get the chickens but then what do you do? You train them and by the way if you have a really challenging dog there are countless organizations to re-home them to somebody who loves the dog enough

03:59 I want justice for Cricket. This is terrible! It's a terrible thing. Justice for Cricket? Oh, Cricket's name was Cricket. You know sign of a sociopath is someone that kills animals. I'm not a clinician but she killed her animal. That's for sure. Alright so... What an idiot. I'd love to hear your view on this. Important news breaking breaking My view on this is that I'm not even sure this happened I think Kristi Noem has to do something because she does not want to be the vice presidential choice and she's at the top of the list. This did it! This took her off the list for good, without having to say no. Interesting why would she not want to further her career into the Oval?

04:50 I think she's got friends who said, look what happens to all these people that get associated with Trump at that level. It's trouble! I mean it may be great you know but then again if you're gonna be in the middle of this and that no get out of this any way you can we thought but she didn't want to get out of it by saying no and then being on Trump's bad side she's going to say I kill dogs, they shoot them. Oh okay well you can't pick her." Oh well that's a very no agenda take of you there. Totally! Well i personally think that she should just say this is puppy health care. That's what she should call it because you know...I love the outrage over some woman shooting her dog because whatever but hey just suck out those fetuses no problem that's healthcare

05:39 Please, the hypocrisy is crazy. It's crazy the hypocrisy give me a break Hey man that my favorite video of this week I don't know if you saw this where those... Oh, but I already you said pros. Okay? It's not gonna be what I'd guess What were you gonna guess the liberal filter have you seen that one no No, I've not seen the live Stop it. That's a video. That's how The last person to retweeted which would be the easiest defined is the libs of tick-tock has it somewhere okay What is it? It's hilarious? What is this oh

CHAPTER 03 / 41 Discussion

University Protests, Law Enforcement Clashes

Pro-Palestinian university protests featured students using makeshift shields and bicycle helmets in confrontations with police. At Ole Miss, counter-protesters sang the Star Spangled Banner, an event praised by Governor Tate Reeves but criticized by media figures like Joy Reid.

06:22 It turns your picture into a liberal. Oh, I have seen this yes! No that's not what i was going to say no...I love that protester the kid who has like a bike helmet on and he has a shoe. You're hurting me? Well, yeah he has a shield made out of half a garbage can and he runs towards the cops and the cop just clotheslines him. BAM! I feel bad watching it over and over again but it was so funny Just so funny. Well, you know this is for my when I saw the kids with a half garbage can running at the cops It's like LARPing as in what are you doing? Exactly what i was thinking! I was just gonna say that it's it's LARPing at its highest level

07:11 is amazing. I'm a knight in shining armor! What are they thinking? The derangement of some of these kids, and of course they're just kids what are you going to do all young people's...they're dumb sometimes but the derangement They've lost so much respect for law enforcement and police, they don't even think it's... What do you think it is? Like a cartoon? This cop is not gonna bust your head. Come on! You're charging the cop with that garbage can shield. And a bike helmet. There were two of them. And a bike helmet. That was the best. So then my second favorite video who would have ever expected The Frat Boys

08:01 to be protecting the flag. I mean, yeah that's a new trend. This is...I like it! Um i think this is interesting to see how we have within these in these camps and these of course are privileged boys they're all privileged kids this is Ole Miss Governor Tate Reeves also posted a video showing counter protesters singing The Star Spangled Banner in front of Palestinian protesters I need some more. Now listen to Joy. Woo! Play ball! Surprised they weren't singing Dixie instead? Well, because you know they must be racist. Governor Reeves praised the counter protest in writing... What a dick she is. It's unbelievable. You can't even have respect for the Star Spangled Banner anymore Not from her She's gotta go No well she will eventually The Moe prophecy will come true it'll happen

09:19 They're all gonna go, all the DEI hires. You're all stuffed up! I am. It's funny. It's not funny! Usually you've plowed through the worst case of the flu and be on the air sound fine. I'm still on the air it's just this whenever I project Then it just locks up. It's funny. I'm locking up, man! I don't know what to say. I'm locking up. I'm glad you think it's funny while I go through this incredible trial. Because I've never seen...you witnessed this before? Yes yes yes um let me see I have a stay on these protests because they are rather interesting here's something that kind of hit me this morning about the Google protest

CHAPTER 04 / 41 Discussion

Project Nimbus, Google and Amazon Israeli Military Contract

Google and Amazon are providing cloud computing support to the Israeli military through a $1.2 billion contract known as Project Nimbus. Reports indicate the technology supports weapon manufacturers and includes the use of Google Photos for facial recognition dragnets in Gaza, drawing comparisons to Google's previous work with the Chinese military.

project nimbus· google· amazon· israel· facial recognition

10:01 I have a feeling... Well, listen to this. This is from uh.. I don't usually play... But this is from awhile back isn't it? There's no new Google protests. Mah! It's still ongoing. Still ongoing and there-it's not over according to- I guess it'll continue until the ceasefire! We'll get to that too. They're rising A recent article in The Intercept reveals that Google and Amazon provide cloud computing support to the Israeli military under what is called Project Nimbus, a contract worth 1.2 billion dollars The Intercept reviewed a 63-page Israeli government procurement document which showed that Amazon and Google support two of the nation's leading weapon makers that manufacture drones, missiles and other weapons used in the war against Hamas. Stop stop stop stop! I want to take kind of look at the terminology being used here

10:54 Google's not supporting them. They're supporting Google It's the other way around there are they giving the services away for free is that in the documentation? No, they're getting paid So how is that support I don't get it Okay I'll tell you my first thought when I was about this far and the clip as well unlike This is coming from some other company making Google look bad Okay, you can play there. I'm sorry. I interrupted okay It's this terminology that they're supporting this when it's the other way around is annoying it says though because I went to Bought some groceries at a local store that the grocery stores supporting me if they're not supporting me and buying groceries from them Is possible that they have a value for value model of Google? Oh you rolled That's a real possibility

11:42 Hey, hey Israel. How about we just give you this Project Nimbus? If you feel like it donate something to us! Give us some time talent or treasure. It's possible. Accept other obligatory cloud customers includes the blank Bank of Israel, Israel Airport Authority and a quasi-governmental body tasked with expanding Israel settlements in the West Bank shocking. We don't kill people

12:22 Across Google, we've also been clear that we will not design or deploy AI applications as weapons or weapon systems. Yeah? Or for mass surveillance unquote Earlier intercept reported Israel's use of Google photos to implement a facial recognition dragnet across Gaza's strip To scan ordinary Palestinians as they attempt to flee the ongoing bombardment Okay, couple things about this one Wow First of I mean before you go to your couple of things what do they have cameras in? The middle of the rubble are you kidding me now well

13:01 I love the outrage over this while in America, the TSA has just started scanning everybody without any... Just like hey we're doing this now. We're just doing facial recognition and everyone's like okay but Israel Gaza. Second of all why? I want to see all these people divest from Google and Amazon no more shopping! No more Gmail, no more Google Docs. Where's that? Where is that come on? Back in 2019 there was noticeably a lot less outrage when it was reported that Google and its parent company Alphabet were working in ways that were benefiting the Chinese military

13:44 specifically for the purposes of them tracking the Uyghur population as well as the Hong Kong protesters who were protesting for their freedom. They were using... But they're yellow people, we don't care about them! ...similar services in order to crack down on protesters there and in order to track people who they wanted to put in concentration camps But yet at the same time, Google said that it was no longer going to buy for a $10 billion US government contract with its military saying that what the US military was doing was against its values. And so I'm very

14:21 confused about what exactly Google's values supposedly are when they seemingly have no problem benefiting foreign governments whether US allies or not but they won't even work with the US government. Why are they based here? Are they an American company do they consider themselves? Yeah we can stop this she's good No you can keep playing it I like it but I want to know what it is, I don't recall did Preface it with who is this rising? This is the rising the rise. Oh, no rise the rising Yeah I prefaced it you didn't hear but yes the right yeah I was probably zoning and this one she should be fired because she does a bad job The young black girl

15:03 I don't think so. So why are they based here? Are they an American young black girl doesn't sound like she just I don't think that's her I'm not sure I didn't clip this because I noticed that she can she's really poor it she drops She has some prompter issues as she's reading away and is a very and this woman has the same well, I'm done with her Okay black or white. She's no she's off the show Who should be off the show is whoopee. Well let's now look at the endowments because this is it's all fascinating, because it's not really about killing people, it's not about genocide... No! It's about money

CHAPTER 05 / 41 Discussion

University Endowments, Divestment Transparency Issues

Protesters are demanding that universities like Columbia disclose and divest from holdings tied to Israel, yet 99.5% of Columbia's $13.6 billion endowment remains opaque. Current SEC 13F filings only cover a small fraction of these multi-billion dollar funds, complicating the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement's goals.

university endowments· columbia university· bds movement· 13f filings· divestment

15:42 Money, money, money. Here's a Meet the Press. You hear a lot of these protesters demanding divestment but they also will often say disclose first and the reason why is because we just don't have a lot of transparency into what is in these school endowments so again part of this is the broader strategy among pro-Palestinian protesters to boycott divest and sanction businesses that have ties to Israel now divest is the big conversation on college campuses where you have these universities with in many cases multi-billion dollar endowments that they use to invest in companies. So how much of those investments... I'm so confused, that we just gloss over this? Why aren't they giving away free education?!

16:20 They got billions of dollars and they're investing it in the stock market, in bombs. You're talking to the wrong guy here. Yeah okay. ...are going into businesses that have ties to Israel well let's take a look at some... This is why Eisenhower said the military or he didn't say it but it was in his original speech yep I you right? The military industrial the military academic industrial complex yeah he had academic in there originally and uh someone took it out and said hey see this picture What's in your mouth? Those investments are going into businesses that have ties to Israel. Well, let's take a look at some of the requirements for how they have to disclose any sort of holdings as a form 990 with the IRS that's reported annually gives you the broad mix of stocks versus bonds that a university will be holding it an endowment but the detail on specific stocks are being held comes from a 13 F filed with the SEC The problem though is

17:12 that doesn't really cover the entire scope of the endowment, which in many cases as I mentioned can be in the billions of dollars. Which means it's largely up to universities on a voluntary basis to disclose in their annual reports what's actually in there. Well, I think we should crack this open! We should know what these universities are doing with all this money and how does it benefit the children? Well, it's not obviously because they're retarded. The stuff they do like billions of dollars in endowments trash can man come on this is crazy I got one more clip here. Trashcan man And Ryan i'll give you an example Of one university again Columbia University getting a lot of scrutiny over all this when you look at the endowment We're talking about a university that has 13.6 billion dollars in endowment funds and we talk about that I mean

18:01 How many children can you educate from that money? 13.6, that's a lot of billions! 13F, that discloses how many securities and how many types of companies they're investing in it covers only 68 million with an M which means at the number of stocks I know Columbia is invested in through their endowment its only about 0.5% so 99.5 percent of the endowment funds We don't know about. We don't know if they are or aren't in any sort of companies that have attachments to Israel, so that's what protesters asking for. They're asking for more disclosure of the nature of those investments before they then ask them to divest from those funds but the status quo there is not a lot of transparency into these endowments Ryan okay So their protests this whole BDS boycott divest and

18:49 sanction has been based on stuff they don't even know? We know it! We know you're hiding secret Jew payments. What is this?! They don't even know this, no one seems to know. No I find this highly irregular Suspicious And then so now when you think about it if its all about hey your giving money to these Israeli companies then isn't it interesting... Well you're not giving, okay first let's... Okay help me out. Help me out. I'm hurt about terms here. Alright help me out! You're not giving money to Israeli companies your investing in usually open markets stock market stuff Investing that is a good point. Investing. It's not giving its not like giveaway. Its not a gimmie No okay? Your investing Good point because that's what the school should do A school should be there to make money for itself

19:45 I am all for, I'm with you on this thesis. Harvard's numbers are unbelievable! All these big universities have these large endowments usually they by soaking the alumni they call the alumni up constantly...I used to get called all the time from Cal except Once I told him one thing and that was, I got put on the blacklist. I haven't been called for years What did you tell him? I said you know uh...I noticed that last year you guys gave Barack Obama campaign a million dollars of this sort of money Why am i giving you money so it can go to Barack Obama? I don't support the guy And then never got called again Call off the list

CHAPTER 06 / 41 Discussion

Billionaire Funding, Pro-Israel and Pro-Palestine Protests

Wealthy donors are funding both sides of the campus protest movement, with Bill Ackman and Jerry Seinfeld's wife supporting pro-Israel groups while the Soros and Rockefeller foundations fund Students for Justice in Palestine. Critics suggest these protests may be manipulated by investors looking to influence stock prices through shorting strategies.

george soros· bill ackman· jerry seinfeld· rockefeller brothers foundation· palestine legal group

20:24 Off the list. Did you get TP during Halloween? No, no, nothing bad happened. So when you think about it's about so clearly there's the protesters want to hurt the companies that are being invested in if I just draw the logical conclusion right yes okay So then, now we have to look at who's funding these things. Because they're clearly short on these stocks or something! Both sides of this are apparently being funded by quite wealthy people You have Jerry Seinfeld's wife apparently helping to organize a pro-Israel protest Is she still married to Shoshanna? Is he still married to her? Or has he gotten a new wife in the meantime

21:13 I have no idea. Yeah, that's got to be promotion for his movie. Bill Ackman and other celebrities or wealthy people have helped to donate to that party fund for the UNC fraternity that was seen protecting the American flag and then on the pro-Palestine side Students For Justice In Palestine of course receives funding from some Soros foundations from the Rockefeller Brothers Foundation from a Wall Street banker by the name of Felice Gelman. The protesters have been led by some people who are with the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights, which receives stipends from some of those same progressive billionaires to go onto campus and help these students organize their protests

21:57 They have received pro bono legal advice from the Palestine Legal Group. So across the board, I mean we can't just say that all of this is pure grassroots campaigning done by the students for the students there's outside influence both on the pro-Palestinian and the pro Israel side Yeah i think that's what broke all of this because no one's taking it seriously anymore everyone's like oh okay these investors on this side fighting those investors on the other side That's all I can see now. Billionaires, how do you become a billionaire? Well you make a lot of money and then you invest it in companies...I guess. Well if you could get everyone to divest and you were on the short side, you could make money yeah and then you could let it all

22:45 Go back to normal you can make money that way it this with Soros does exactly sorrows is he's made of shorting shorting currency shorter and he also plays Currencies, he's really made more money off currencies than anyone could possibly do especially the read his books He's got a lot of tips on how to do this and there's a lot of it has to it has to do with being completely manipulative. Yeah, he's always short on a country it's like America I'm gonna short America now there's time to take that down and of course he's really not doing this anymore its his boy its Huma Abedin's boyfriend yeah he's the new face well since I've got you on financial stuff Jonathan or something whatever no that's not his name

CHAPTER 07 / 41 Discussion

Jared Bernstein, Federal Reserve Monetary Policy

Jared Bernstein, Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, struggled to explain the mechanics of government borrowing and money printing in a viral video. The discussion highlights the role of the Federal Reserve in creating currency and the reliance on war and inflation to sustain the current Marxist-influenced economic cycle.

23:32 Jonathan Soros. No, it's not Jonathan. It's Alex. Alex Soros. So you probably saw this hilarious video of Jared Bernstein the chairman or the CEO of the Council of Economic Advisors for the President. You saw this video? I've passed through it a couple of times. I haven't really sat down and looked at it, if you haven't played... Of course I haven't! Because everyone's... You're talking about me? You should get a HEPA filter stick your head in that cedar closet. Everyone is laughing... Stick my head in what?! In the cedar closet maybe that'll help So everyone's laughing at this video and it is laughable because the guy cannot explain

24:23 how we print money and we borrow money but then why do we even, huh? Taxes what... And he gets so confused. I'm trying to track down the- What's his name again? Jared Bernstein He really is the guy and he talks a big game about inflation. He's on The White House lawn you know he's always brought in to give his commentary And this is like the season of reveal pinnacle when he can't explain how our financial system works, how we finance the government. But very few people have explained what's really going on and I have great hope

25:02 Great hope that we can, you can explain this so we understand. So we can put you up for chairman of the economic council of advisors for the president because this guy is a numbnut! The US government can't go bankrupt because we can print our own money It obviously begs the question why exactly are we borrowing in a currency that we print ourselves? I'm waiting for someone to stand up and say Why do we borrow our own currency in the first place Like you said, they print the dollars. So why does the government even borrow? Well... The uh... so the I mean again some of this stuff gets

25:46 Some of the language that the MN some of the language and concepts are just confusing I mean, the government definitely prints money And it definitely lends that money which is why the government definitely prints money and then it lends that money by By selling bonds. Is that what they do? They Yeah, they Sell bonds yeah, they sell bonds right since they sell bonds and people buy the bonds and lend them the money yeah so A lot of times, at least to my ear with MMT the language and the concepts can be kind of unnecessarily confusing but there is no question that the government prints money and then it uses that money to... So yeah I guess i'm just-I don't get it. I don't know what they're talking about because

26:44 The government clearly prints money, it does it all the time and it clearly borrows. Otherwise we wouldn't be having this debt and deficit conversation so I don't think there's anything confusing there. So this is hilarity for all, and I'm going to take a little guess here. I'm gonna guess that this guy doesn't understand which is amazing if you're the chairman and CEO of the Economic Council of Advisors to the president that he doesn't understand that the Federal Reserve who creates money with the banking system is not a government institution? No

27:22 So can you explain simply to us all? Just the simplest way is that you have credits and debits or should balance the budget. They have the same amount of money out there as if you had credits, debits for. And so you create a billion dollars worth of bonds and sell them. And that money goes into circulation. That's only simplest way looking at it where I see it. We sell a bond and then that bond, the Fed then prints that bond in dollars But people owe that money back. Oh yeah, well... Yeah the people! The people owe that money back. Mostly the people who buy the bonds I mean people say China you know then yeah a lot of foreigners buy the bonds too because they're good

28:08 It's a good bond and it has an interest, it pays interest. Yeah! And... Oh yeah! Which is supposed to be the inflation rate at the most but there never is so its higher. Of course! Which means you get inflation so that system builds inflation in So how why do we pay taxes? to help because there is missing money. Because somewhere along the line they didn't make this debit credit thing balance out, it's never balanced! They were supposed to be balanced if they put a constitutional amendment to balance it then you wouldn't have this issue probably wouldn't need to pay taxes but then we'd all be broke there wouldn't be any potholes fixed and they're not potholes anyway they send their money to Ukraine

28:55 Okay, I got the answer to why do we pay taxes. This is not a good system No it's a great system! We pay taxes to support the military-industrial complex There it is That's literally where our money goes and to pay off the rent The interest of the money we just rented And the interest for them to bond money mismatch Is this a sustainable system? Long term It has been going for a long time I'd say since 1913. Yes, that would be the correct date yes It's been sustainable with a couple of hiccups Yeah like that little hiccup where we had to confiscate everybody's gold That was one hiccup. 1971 The other hiccup is dropping gold altogether from the calculation

29:43 That was Nixon's hiccup. But the real hiccups were 1930 depression, 1970s depression, the crash of 2008-2009 and that comes and goes. It's a business cycle. And COVID! And COVID. Yeah it is a business cycle so...and what is the best way to get this keep this going? War. War is good Isn't that what they always do? That is Marxist economy. A Marxist economist, that's their basis for making these calculations yes. Oh so you're... oh hold on a second so the Marxists like war because it helps them with their system

30:26 I don't know if they like war or not, but it seems that they might. When they see capitalism they like to interpret it as needing wars to exist. It's a slam on capitalism but it is the Marxist economic theory that wars benefit capitalism I'm just getting this from other Marxists. You know, not one... At the meeting? Did you have the meeting? When we had the SEL meeting the other day they were bringing this up yet again! I loved watching some of Berkshire Hathaway

CHAPTER 08 / 41 Discussion

Warren Buffett, Berkshire Hathaway AI Skepticism

At the Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting in Omaha, Warren Buffett expressed concern regarding the potential for AI to facilitate sophisticated financial scams. Buffett compared the growth of AI-enabled fraud to a "growth industry," noting the technology's ability to perfectly replicate voices and images for malicious purposes.

31:06 a big meeting in Omaha. They have their annual meeting, of course this is sad meeting... Is Munger still alive? No he's dead! Oh he died finally okay at 99 and so here's Warren Buffett without I think even referenced someone as Charlie for a moment he forgot that he was dead and they have like 188 billion dollars in cash and Warren Buffett saying this is great we just leave it In money markets, you know we just leave it in treasuries for three months six months We're not investing any dumb companies but Warren but Warren but Warren what about AI? Warren What about AI when you think of the potential for scamming people? Reproduce

31:54 Images that I can't even tell to say, I need money. You know? As your daughter, I just had a car crash. I need $50,000 wired. I mean scamming has always been part of the American scene. This would make me If I was interested in investing and scamming, it's gonna be the growth industry of all time. And it's enabled... In a way, obviously AI has potential for good things too but based on the one I saw recently, I practically would send money to myself over some crazy country. So...

32:44 I don't have any advice on that. You know, I think he nails it. Rambling! Oh it went on for hours but I think he nails it though all of this is good for but he didn't quite nail it we said for scamming and for comedy so far we have seen no other actual use yes for AI spot art yes art you know 60 minutes did a huge thing oh Randy Travis be thanks to AI he can sing again Boy, I didn't know he could. Now he had some horrible illness or he had one of those throat issues. Yeah. Yes. Well, I think you may be summarizing and I think you might be on to something like that clip is almost a clip borderline borderline but not because you could because it's hard to hear him. Well, I can't help that the

AI Podcast Awards, Victoria Shi Digital Persona

A proposal for the "AI Podcast Awards" includes categories for best fake voice and best meme, following the debut of Victoria Shi, a digital person created by Ukraine's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The concept of AI celebrities is compared to the 1980s character Max Headroom and Japanese virtual idols.

ai awards· victoria shi· ukraine· max headroom· deepfakes

33:36 idea that AI is good for humor, definitely. Did you see the... God there's one thing, the Biden pooping thing? Oh the Biden pooping best use of AI this year! We need to do the No Agenda AI Awards! There ya go! Best category for fake video goes to Cat-turned. I'm in! Cat turned! You're already... since i've been pushing for some sort of awards tomorrow show There's our awards, there is our awards the AI podcast Awards we'll just throw podcasting there to give it some validity but it's not about podcasts at all

34:15 Just said the AI podcast awards because we do the awards on podcasts and we hand out the best Well, hey I am what and here's here's fake voice. Yeah best fake voice Best and of course we have to have an R rated category Best are rated picture of Taylor Swift Taylor Swift his own category altogether it Yeah, and we should say best AI spokeshole. Dear members of the media and the public I welcome you My name is Victoria Shii. I have been created by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Using artificial intelligence to provide you with timely and high quality information on consular affairs I am a digital person that means that the text you hear was not read by a real person It was generated by artificial intelligence

35:03 I will carry out a number of tasks. First and foremost, I will inform the public providing timely and verified information from Ukraine's consular service Wow, it's yeah. Have you seen catch? Have you seen her have you seen the video No I've not seen or I know but you know that do we have to remember that the Japanese had an AI girl Who is extremely famous in Japan somebody and one of our Japanese producers could tell it can remember the name of this woman Oh, I know what you're talking about Yeah And it was a face and she was a bit She was a celebrity but she was completely a computer-generated

35:39 But it was called back then when she came around this is five six seven eight years ago when she showed up This was called computer generated. Yes, oh yeah? Yeah like that it's the same thing max headroom Yes, like Max Headroom. He can be one of our celebrity judges. Max Headroom. Yeah, he'd have to have his head jerking around a lot. One of those guys... Hey! I think we're onto something here it's begging is the AI world is begging for an award show oh yes they need it They do and then they can we can tell everyone hey listen You know, but just in case you win wink-wink nudge. Nudge I think it was possibly you might have won could you please do a an acceptance speech for us really funny so because okay with the show create things about if you're gonna take it to the limit a couple of things that should be noted

36:30 One, yes you do that. You bribe people with awards to get them to speak. Lifetime achievement award? Not right away but I'd say within a couple of years probably within three... To get nominated you have to pay a fee Oh! Of course no this is how it works there's an entrance fee yeah that's how we make our money. It's a reasonable fee Yes $2,000 dollars That's how we make money Yeah, absolutely. And then we make money on the catering for the gala It has to be catering. There has to be a gala and red carpet. Well, I don't know about that. I maybe we're on some of the guys who do this stuff there are so you want to see them but there are so many companies now we were just doing it virtual with save money. There's so many companies who have a you know it'll be best. Oh yeah. Do a virtual We're going to have a real event Best Prompt Jockey

37:30 Think about that's gonna be hard to you. Here's the problem with that yeah, I would say not merch I'd say murder that we're gonna sell merch Yeah, merchant lots of somebody else could do the merch We don't have to just job it out But I would say I don't like the prompt jockey thing is gonna be tough because what you're doing is your exposing Probably somebodies employee took poaching yeah okay? You're not gonna go for that. But we can definitely get a whole bunch of comedians to judge the funniest memes, you know the funniest video memes the funniest panel and then you know best best faked leaked audio like that oh yeah We could sit down and do the categories okay good all right so it's done deal all right exit strategy beautiful now No I think we still do the show

CHAPTER 10 / 41 Discussion

Bill Gates, AI and Climate Action

Bill Gates discussed the "power of the AIs" on his podcast with data scientist Hannah Ritchie, focusing on using technology to model complex climate phenomena. Gates suggested AI could help identify low-methane cattle or facilitate the production of lab-grown meat to reduce environmental impact.

bill gates· hannah ritchie· climate change· methane· mrna

38:18 How disappointing now. Now let's go talk to somebody, let's listen to somebody who knows all about AI who is all in and actually calls it the AIs which I think we need to start adopting It's not AI its THE AIs And that's Bill Gates and he's back on the scene With the Hannah Richie, this is his Unconfuse Me podcast. And he's somethings really weird with Bill I mean okay something always weird though He has a neurological disorder

38:55 This is something with his right arm. There's something his left shoulder was up as right arm was he never moved really? His right arm Yeah, he's got yeah, so I'm some issue and he also has facts. I think that's Parkinson's problem Oh, no, I feel sorry about that But anyway, we're still gonna make fun of him my guest is dr. Hannah Ritchie data scientist and researcher at the University of Oxford, also head of research for our world in data. She's just coming out with a fantastic new book called Not The End Of The World. Welcome Hannah! It is a pleasure to be here. A pleasure to be here okay so now we're gonna get into it about the power of AI Is there something that you've changed your mind about recently?

39:39 I spent a lot of time in the technology world and i have to say, I was very stunned how the AIs went from basically not being able to read or write at all. To doing that in a very facile way still very imperfect but it kind of blew my mind. I had challenged people to pass a test and thought they might never least would take them years but within a few months They're able to do it. So now, you know I'm thinking about wow how do we use this in education and health and various environmental challenges so the power of these AIs...I mispredicted that and I'm reformed He's reformed! he believes in the power of the AIs Well this is very weird to say the AIs

40:34 It's like he's talking about the gods. The power of the AIs, I'm reformed! I believe in the power of the AIs our new God so what do you think Bill is thinking about really if we're using the power of the AIs? Any ideas? What could this... Yeah mRNA vaccines Now creepier think creepier Creepier yeah creepier. He wants to clone himself no idea close do you think AI will play a role in climate action? Well absolutely because her ability to model Complex phenomena wait hold on it say stop the podcast Just pulled the emergency brake Didn't bill introduce her and isn't this his podcast know if that's what so interesting I'm glad you picked up on that

41:25 So how did it turn around where he's being interviewed now? That's kind of a podcast host is that. This is this is the new format. I think it's revolutionary. Revolutionary, like what? I give him two thumbs up for this concept. I like it. I like it a lot. Let's go back to you. Think AI will play a role in climate action? Well, absolutely because our ability to model complex phenomena, they are helping a lot with that. So for example, looking at the genetics of cows and saying hey some cows emit a lot of methane and some emit very, very little. And some cows survive in hot weather very well and some do not. And then along with our ability to edit genes one of the most dramatic sources emissions that at one time I

42:17 I wasn't sure the path forward. Now we can see either making the cows better or various techniques where they create meat without the cow. There it is! We create meat without the cow! In The Netherlands, they're promoting farmerless meats. This is my favorite. Meat without the farmer that's the way to go So Bill is all in on the climate change, making meat without the cow and probably some more here. Let's see what else he has. Even the weather modeling piece

42:55 Now AI is being applied to that, both the long term which is kind of those climate models but say telling a farmer in Africa based on the weather should they go ahead and plant now or it's going to be so dry. They used always plant at the first rain but if you know that's anomalous then you shouldn't plant and so the AIs are really starting To help us with very practical problems. This is bull crap you say a eyes You keep saying it the AI I'm telling you the guy is looking at the AIs as the gods He's reformed remember the AIs they got this so that he's playing his clip I wish I had the mRNA clip that he just did to and for USA Today where he's like

43:43 Uh, going off the deep end. No don't worry lost it there's more because he has oh yeah wait there's more so remember that you're making cow mooing noises it's very inappropriate and remember that we just had this bird flu scare which is not over but oh it wasn't in the ground beef Thank God, it might be in the milk but isn't the ground beef? But when people you know people listen very poorly to the news and they hear breaking breaking breaking ground beef bird flu I Guarantee you that people are like yeah. Well maybe we should just have some chicken tonight Yeah, man sure want to have some grist. I heard on chicken. I heard something about ground beef I don't like it then bit and they're all jumping in on it

CHAPTER 11 / 41 Discussion

Lab-Grown Meat, Florida Legislative Debate

The head of global marketing for Good Meat debated Florida State Representative Dean Black regarding the future of cultivated meat. While the industry claims environmental benefits and efficiency, Florida legislators and cattle ranchers express skepticism regarding the safety and necessity of "assembled" meat products.

lab-grown meat· good meat· florida· fda· dean black

44:36 I would have to say if it wasn't planned, man they really picked up quick because the fake meat people are back. They're not going to give up! They're all in including Bill. For you what scenario where new data kind of changed your view of things? So I think my general framework for change on many of these technologies is that if you generate alternative technology which is as good as the original and it's cheaper than the original, then people will just adopt it. And I mean that's true for energy sources like I think people are not that bothered about what actually comes goes into the plug they just want reliable power. I think one area where I'm a bit more skeptical of that framework now is in food

45:21 Now, I'm a big fan of meat substitutes. So I love Impossible Burger or Beyond Meat burger like I'm a vegan so I eat this stuff all the time! I think I had this framework in my head that if they just got cheap enough and tasted good that people would just make that switch. I am now becoming much more skeptical that it will be as easy as that. I think there will just be this inherent resistance for many people that its not meat so I'm not going to make the switch. To me I'm leaning more towards I think if we're going to see this large scale change in dietary habits, it basically needs to generate meat which would be lab grown meat for example when it's not just a plant based substitute for that but the actual thing just without the cow or chicken. I'm telling you that this is no coincidence and Bill Gates he's clearly interested in anything modifying cows she's like nah we need to go to lab grown meat and its on the radar all over the place

46:19 Good luck tops. Well, I think there's a path for these nut jobs Here's Tom Lamas with the top story top story on NBC. I'm joined tonight by Tom Ross Meisel He's the head of global marketing at good meat one of just two cultivated me come Let's just bring in the guy who's the head of global marketing don't you think that's kind of suspicious? well It depends on what the story is about. Is it about global marketing or? Well, it's about... Or is it about this meat thing stuff or how does this even news? This isn't business. A native ad is what you're in about to play here Yes correct well it's because of a debate going on in Florida. We meet companies in the US that have been approved by the FDA to sell their products and representative Dean Black who was a Republican member of Florida State Legislature but

47:12 and an important but here, he's also a cattle rancher. We thank you both for joining Top Story tonight I'm looking forward to a spirited debate Tom i'm going to play a video for our viewers now that are great directors... Spirited Debate? Come on! We're looking forward to a spirited debate here on the TV show Walk our viewers through what we're looking at so the meat is built or assembled in these Where was it? He said assembled. First he says built and then assembled, both equally bad. Built or assembled I guess in these metal containers and then it comes out and looks just like a filet right? If I were to buy that at the grocery store would know the difference. And afterwards... Oh yeah if you're any idiot! Looks like a chicken filet my question to you is what does it taste like? It tastes like chicken

Bingit.io Search, Climate Change Archive

The bingit.io search tool has been upgraded to allow reverse chronological sorting of the entire No Agenda show archive. This tool enables producers to track nearly 17 years of discussions regarding global warming and climate change, dating back to the show's earliest episodes.

bingit.io· climate change· podcast archive· search engine

48:04 People are gonna fall for this, John. I can predict it right now! This global warming nonsense has been going on... In fact i have a call out for our producers we have a best of show coming up for the Sunday the 26th And Sir Deenonymous has upgraded bingit.io, I mean he has done a phenomenal job You can search every single episode of the NOA Agenda Show and you can also now sort those results in reverse chronological order I'm going to put together a global warming slash climate change special because... I did one already Yeah but you just did clips

48:48 Yeah, but now you can get us talking and there's a lot of stuff that is not clips. It's just conversations we were having. That would be a nice show I think it would be a great show and i'd like producers to go to bingit.io And search because it goes back to episode 3 We were talking about this nonsense and every single... it has been the same for almost 17 years Can I can I interrupt your pace and flow for a second, please? We have to do two donation segments today. Oh, I know about I was already thinking about that I just wanted the I think we're just back to two. I mean, I love it I thought it what I thought everyone felt very comfortable Yeah Here's what we need is we need the art generator a generator to come back online. Oh, is it dead? Let me check if it's some back online by now Nope, instead he said Jim

49:43 Noah Jenda, artgenerator.com is dead as a doornail. Getting that cloud flare thing... Okay so let's just continue for a little bit because I think i can tell you well how about let me see um So the theme of your little presentation here is fake meat Fake meat yes fake meat which was precipitated by the fake scare about the fake bird flu And so now the fake meat people are out all over the place. Tom, what do you say to that? What's your response? Hold on! So you're equating the bird flu bull crap that came and went with fake meat... The impetus for fake meat as part of a long arc A setup! A big setup Wow Bill Gates has an investment in the fake meat company Well good for him he spot time he lost on some of his investments

CHAPTER 13 / 41 Discussion

Government Subsidies, Fake Meat Market Strategy

Proponents of lab-grown meat argue that scaling technology will eventually lower costs, similar to the trajectory of electric vehicles. Critics predict the government will eventually offer subsidies to make synthetic meat cheaper than traditional ranching, mirroring the $5,000 tax credits used to incentivize EV adoption.

subsidies· electric vehicles· lab-grown meat· elon musk· protein

50:38 Yeah, I'm just going to take the other side of that. I think they're going to make it happen and I'm gonna tell you how. First let's get another one...I have a...I'm gonna skip around these clips. I don't want to bore you too much before we get to it. What culture in politics would be at play here? I mean, you should ask Representative Black. There are no credible safety concerns coming from the legislature about this. So if politicians want to say hey we don't like this meat That may play well with some consumers, but ultimately consumers should decide what meat they want to buy or not buy. OK so here's now we're going to get some of the reasons why we need lab grown meat. Tom is this does the country need this right now and would your meet be more affordable? I mean give me the top three reasons why America needs us right now

51:33 That's a good question. Yeah, so the number one reason is environmental. So we're growing just the meat that is consumed by consumer. We're not growing a beak or an intestine or fur or tendons or anything like that So we have the ability to grow meat much more efficiently than the conventional way. Yes, we grow meat better than cows okay? And that's going to be really important I mean the protein requirements of the planet are gonna double between now and 2050. Redefining protein as we suggested would happen... so adding another tool to be able to sustainably make proteins is gonna be really important it's

52:11 It's not going to replace conventional meat. We're not advocating for that, certainly that's not being expected from the Florida legislature but consumers should decide they should be able go to a grocery store and determine what type of safe and approved meat they want. Okay so it comes down to one thing... Sorry? Not to interrupt you but I wanted say that is the mistake they're making. Consumers will not decide in favor of lab-grown meat. Consumers are not so stupid that they think that lab grown meat's better and all they need is just a kind of kickoff, hey there's amino acids, there's all kinds of who knows what mystery elements and vitamins in real meat that body needs over it because evolutionary factors. That is not gonna be in lab grown anything!

53:05 You are correct about the quality of the products, that it will be very bad for humans. I believe you're incorrect about consumers being stupid A lot of consumers took a gene therapy that had no business injecting into their body Stupid? I don't know depends on how its positioned by the authorities and the science Millions of people have been psyoped into buying an electric vehicle because, oh it's gonna save the climate. It's gonna save the world. It's gonna change everything and these are the saps that are standing by the side of the road when it's too hot when it's too cold their car is worth 30% less the minute they drive it off a lot 50 percent within six months yes consumers are stupid when lied to

53:52 particularly by people of authority like, I don't know Elon Musk. So what is the ticket? Why did they... What is the ticket into getting to people to buy cheap meat listen to this last clip right now is it cheaper or more expensive than regular meat Yeah, right now it's more expensive. We've got a lot of steps in order to scale our technology It's going to take a lot of time to get there But that's true of all new industries You know when cars came out they're very expensive cell phones Electric vehicles you name it? There's always a process When you're scaling up the new technology and what was the solution for the electric vehicles $5,000 subsidy from the government is coming for fake meat

54:33 Guaranteed. If you buy the fake meat, it's going to be cheaper because of these subsidies to the supermarket, to the producers however they do it yes I think that is going to happen. I know you don't...you disagree clearly Well I'm gonna give you a little...I'll give you that. I'll give you the possibilities that they're gonna chicken shit their way into this by giving away money, American taxpayer money to make it so it looks more appealing. We print it! Who cares? We print it! But... but Even cheaper, it's gonna if it's cheaper. There's actually going to be a mistake because of the way that the mind works It's gonna be a cheap lab-grown substitute for real chicken which is cheap anyway But okay let's just say it's a cheap lab grown chicken meat and This is cheaper as we can save a little money here oh I don't know it looks cheap this is cheap It's gonna be seen as cheap junk

CHAPTER 14 / 41 Discussion

Consumer Behavior, Food Security Risks

Concerns regarding the centralization of protein production suggest that moving to large-scale meat factories creates a national security risk. Concentrating food sources in a few facilities makes the population vulnerable to missile strikes or industrial accidents, potentially leading to instant famine.

food security· china· factory farming· supermarkets· famine

55:36 I think there's a huge hurdle to get over if you're gonna pull this stunt where you think you're gonna sell the public lab-grown, some slush. It's not... They're never going to get this right. Have you walked through a regular old supermarket recently? I walk through regular old supermarkets all the time. It looks like Disneyland, it's nothing but colored packages with sugar and chemicals people are eating chemicals and sugar all day long. And you think oh I want some good quality chicken do you buy meat and chicken at the supermarket? I've bought meat and chicken at the supermarket normally I usually just buy giant slabs of stuff. Yeah where do you buy Costco

56:20 I buy Costco junk, yeah. Yeah, you are a discerning consumer who's smart! You're also from the silent generation you know good food... I am not from the silent generation i'm a baby boomer don't associate me with them! I'm sorry mistake mistake I meant the boomer of course you're smart but But the people who are eating junk, they're sugar addicts. They can be like hey have you tried this new chicken? It tastes great! Texture is fantastic! Tell that to the stock market and Beyond Meats. It's coming. Beyond Meats oh here it is our fake hamburger. They had electric vehicles in 1912 they just needed a reboot

57:04 They needed Elon. They didn't have Elon at the time You cannot tell me that the electric vehicle has been a great idea Can you? I don't think so. No, no. Well it would be if they had the one that they use the technology which i think they're using in some parts of China where you go to take your electric vehicle You drive into the recharging station They swap out your entire battery pack and put a new one in and you drive off 15 seconds All right fine fine find all of its sucks It's sucks

57:45 It's no good. All right, I just hope people go to beefinitiative.com everybody make sure you find a rancher because it's coming it's coming and you know this is my favorite so they had on Dean Black some house representatives probably from Florida and the end on the off chance that I'm right and about what? About lab meat about people going all in on the market. Oh, that people are gonna be lapping it up? Yes! On the off chance he brings up a really good point There is a lot of research and development still to be done And I'll agree that in order for it to be competitive It would have to be scaled-up and if you scale this up That brings up my second objection which pertains to China

58:34 Look, communist China and communist countries have a history of collectivizing agriculture and food production. And they use that to control their populations. And for this to make sense it will have to be concentrated in large factories And look, we are in a very tense geopolitical time with China and North Korea. Iran. And if you concentrate your protein production in a few major factories, you're a few missile strikes from an instant famine. Yeah.

CHAPTER 15 / 41 Discussion

Dutch Bug Burgers, Insect Protein Consumption

The Netherlands is promoting "farmerless meat" through products like the Buxberger, which consists of 50% ground insect larvae. While manufacturers claim mealworms are a sustainable, high-protein alternative to cattle, the high cost of 12 to 17 euros per burger remains a barrier to widespread adoption in Europe.

netherlands· mealworms· insect protein· buxberger· sustainability

59:10 I like that. Yeah, I like it a lot and then i'll just play this final clip because anything comes from the Netherlands is dynamite you know again we're redefining protein Of course, I'm all in with you that no lab-grown meat or anything can have any of the goodness that's inside actual animal protein. I don't eat much chicken at all. I don't trust any chicken from anywhere. I don't trust any chicken! You trust salmon? You just trust salmon from anywhere?! I don't think so... What happened to Dame Elise from uh she must have gone overboard remember she was Alaska she would send us salmon from time to time

59:55 At least Garling? The garland girl? Yeah, at least Garling. I thought it was Garling. Well whatever the case is they are still up in Port Angeles and I think they've bailed out there overboard we haven't got into more importantly we haven't received any Limoncello for the last five years! More than that her limoncello was off-the-hook it was so good Anyway, leave it to the farmerless meat country known as the Netherlands. This is really a marketing campaign. Farmerless meat! Can you believe it? Instead of saying it's not actual meat... No, its farmerless meat. Don't just forget about the cow we don't need this stupid farmer with his wooden shoes no and you want protein

1:00:43 Introducing the Dutch bugs burgers at first glance it looks like a normal hamburger But it's not just any old burger because half of the meat patty consists of ground up insect larvae the Bucks burger It has nice flavor and I would definitely recommend it. Listen, the Dutch, they have nice meat flavors so I'm going to eat them is very good I would recommend it to all my friends. It's dry but has a nice flavour and I would definitely recommend it to my friends The main ingredient in Vera's Bucks Burger is ground lesser mealworms, the larvae of the darkling beetle The production of insect burgers begins here In the Dutch town of Ermelo The manufacturers have been breeding insects here for about 40 years Mainly as animal feed

1:01:28 Give them cow feed! And for the cosmetics industry. But recently they've been producing more and more larvae for human consumption He performs regular checks on the quality of- What do you think the difference is between larvae for animal consumption and larvae for human consumption? Is there a different process? Suddenly, you're making me sick. Or larvae for human consumption he performs regular checks on the quality of his worms around 2 billion people around the world eat insects daily but it's still a big taboo in Europe within five years I think we all eats couple times a year insects

1:02:04 The worms are a sustainable source of energy containing 50% protein. They only need a fraction of the space, water and feed that breeding higher orders of animals require. Their CO2 emissions are minimal. The larvae live for three months in these boxes where they consume grain When they're large enough to be harvested, they are flash frozen and shipped to customers. Max Kramer and Baris Özil are the founders of Buxberger. The founders first encountered edible insects during a world trip seven years ago. That's how they got the idea to start their business. When we first told friends family and acquaintances about our idea most them said that we were crazy that there is no way it would work in the meantime everybody thinks what we're doing is cool and then next thing they say

1:02:47 Hey, when can we finally try it out? The ground mealworms are mixed with peas water and a secret spice mixture. Their burger will lead to less meat being eaten that will be good for the environment because less grain will be used for cattle feed And the insects are also climate friendly A few restaurants in Belgium and the Netherlands already have Bucks burgers on their menu The exotic hamburgers cost between 12 and 17 euros God they cost a fortune! They're gonna be subsidized Well, your subsidized theory I have to say is probably the only thing that's going to save this industry. Oh it's gonna make it short. But it's disgusting! I'll give you a clip of the day for that one. Oh thank you...I find them by accident. It's the most disgusting...that will be the disgusting clip of the day probably for a long time. In our future? Yes they've been promising they've been threatening us with this forever and

1:03:46 And all we do is laugh. All Carson shows I've been watching and they talk about it in the late 70s, it goes on forever. And all we do is laugh. Then one day you're gonna wake up... One day you're gonna wake up and still not going to eat a burger. ...and it's gonna be Mr. Dvorak, I'm sorry you can't buy any beef on your credit card because you drive a Lexus! An old one! A dirty, a dirty motorized Lexus Mr. Dvorak Do you know how much improvement we've made on the Lexus in the 25 years since you bought that vehicle? You are a dirty polluter Carbon criminal! Carbon criminal is another good show title I'm just rocking it today You're a carbon criminal! Carbon criminal and then...I'm sorry it won't work Well

1:04:37 I have the cars built before they put in the devices that could be remotely shut you down. I know, well they're coming for ya. They're coming for ya! They're coming for ya... Anyway it's just a little all i'm saying is get to know a rancher somewhere because when it comes down to it.... Yeah yeah here we go again Look there's no money in this for me No, we know this. You get free meat! No I do not! Well you should? What kind of deal is this?! Because I'm not like that... Ranchers can't give away food- Because they're not like that. No, I'm NOT. Well that's how you and I differ. Okay point made. But just want you to know there's there's no benefit to me and if there's no benefit to Texas Slim or anybody else

1:05:28 The ranchers are running at capacity, so you better get in while stocks last. Otherwise it's just going to be over." It's okay! I mean...I'm just here to help people. Didn't you hear that? First law of no agenda here to help people. Yeah i think that is the first law of no agenda. Here to help people all right Well, I got a bunch of different things. They've got Russia versus the Fallen Gong which i thought was funny. I got bank laundering another bank caught being money laundering operation oh that's good you like that yeah like yeah of course it's about why do these guys is that your exit strategy? Why did these guys launder when you can just print it and just make some for yourself and take it home

TD Bank helping China launder fentanyl money according to the Justice Department, The Wall Street Journal reports an operation was uncovered in New York and New Jersey which laundered hundreds of millions of dollars in illegal drug money via TD bank and other banks This is TD I knew I recognized it from my day trading days TD is from TD TD Ameritrade and I believe they've been purchased by Wells Fargo. And they had their headquarters in New Jersey, these guys. Let me see if they are owned by Wells Fargo? I think so... They're still in business there in Cherry Hill, New Jersey Not Wells Fargo It was the... They're owned by Toronto Dominion that's how DoorTD comes from

1:07:18 I thought that someone bought them. Okay, I could be wrong This is according to court files and people in the know Chinese Monday Charles Schwab Charles Schwab I know the Charles Schwab bought their trading operation I don't know if they bought the bank it's according to court files and people in the know Chinese money laundering organizations have gotten very good at shielding ill-gotten gains These organizations launder cartel cash quicker and cheaper than competitors, often with a money-back guarantee. During a hearing on Chinese Money Laundering Tuesday, Senator Sheldon Whitehouse said that Chinese money laundering organizations work with Mexican cartels to move fencinal profits

1:07:58 The Journal reports, according to court files in 2021 federal agents followed suspects through New York City streets as they carried giant bags of cash bank-to-bank. On one occasion they even caught suspects bribing TD employees. They can, you know make them look the other way when opening bank accounts using a fictitious high quality Chinese passports Federal investigator Ricardo Mayoral told lawmakers he's often seen these organizations engaging in bribery which bypasses traditional detection systems So these guys also they own the Nordstrom credit card

1:08:40 They own the Target credit card. This is quite the operation, I'm digging this! They have $450 billion in assets. And was this anywhere on the quote-unquote mainstream news? I've not heard of this at all! In the Justice Department probe, the Chinese laundering organization offered fifty seven thousand dollars in bribes to TD employees This included gift cards The organization moved at least six hundred fifty three million dollars To thousands of entities in the US and Hong Kong

1:09:16 according to court documents. The Justice Department is also investigating TD Bank for three other instances of money laundering, a Canadian regulator fined it nearly $7 million on Wednesday. TD Bank said Thursday it's cooperating with law enforcement and strengthening its anti-money laundering program. Yeah but people buying at three dollars of Bitcoin go arrest them please because you know that's how criminals operate Ignore the guys with the fake passports carrying bags of money down the street. The American dollar is still the best for corruption, it's still the best! It's the best! Criminal activity, we're the best! Well you've always had this thesis and I kind of agree with it and its very much proven true in the first

1:10:06 cocaine cowboys movie which people should see. Great movie! Which discussed the fact that half the banks in Florida were more or less supported as money laundering operations for the cocaine trade back in the 70s and 80s great, great, great movie yes it's a great, great, great movie It is a recommender, it's a recommender for sure The second version not so much I never even watched that Just original Yeah, good old days. Money laundering. Yes we're back! Major bank not a slouch but old school with bags of cash I mean you've got to hand it to them that's the best part That is very good i like it Good work boys what else you got? Well we have another

1:10:50 A congressman, did you talk about corruption? I think this is the congressman that was caught. TC it's under TC Yeah this is uh well it's one of ours one of our Texas homeboys Democratic Congressman Henry Cuellar of Texas and his wife have been indicted on conspiracy and bribery charges The Justice Department says the case involves the couple's ties to Mexico and Azerbaijan The indictment says Cuellar and his wife accepted nearly $600,000 in bribes from an Azerbaijan controlled energy company and a bank in Mexico from 2014 to 2021. In exchange, Cuellar allegedly agreed to help Azerbaijan and the Mexican bank by advancing their interests in Congress. Cuellar was at one time the co-chair of the Congressional Azerbaijan Caucus

1:11:33 The indictment says Cuellar agreed to influence bills favorable to Azerbaijan and deliver a pro-Azerbaijan speech on the House floor. Federal disclosures show that the congressman traveled to Azerbaijan... Wait, hold on a second! This is excellent this is excellent So there's a guy Cuellar who is Mexican American? Yeah Or just American, but he's closer to Mexico than... He's in Texas and he somehow is representing Azerbaijan and nobody's a little bit... What what what's going on with this guy? Because everyone in Congress is on the take somewhere. That's what it looks like. And and what I would hope is that people who just meme about this, and of course there are a lot of people who are not fans of the Democrat Party going look at that another one of them corrupt him! Why don't you go vote? Go and vote. The Republicans are in the same

1:12:27 The Republicans who voted for the big bill and all the rest of it. I want to talk about that too. Disclosures show that the congressman traveled to Azerbaijan in 2013, two years later, Cuellar's office announced an agreement between a Texas university and an organization called the Assembly of Friends of Azerbaijan. The Justice Department said the couple surrendered to authorities today and were taken into custody But see, this is actually a follow up. This is the whole thing it's like when someone is hanging out with the representatives from Azerbaijan I mean what how was this the people's business? The people of Texas

CHAPTER 19 / 41 Discussion

Anti-Semitism Awareness Act, Free Speech Concerns

The House passed the Anti-Semitism Awareness Act, which seeks to codify a specific definition of anti-Semitism for Department of Education enforcement. Legal experts debate whether the bill constitutes a content-based restriction on speech that could chill constitutionally protected criticism of Israel on college campuses.

anti-semitism awareness act· title vi· first amendment· mike lawler· free speech

1:18:45 So anyway, so the abridging of...so what this-the way I understand it and I have a couple clips too but i want to hear yours first. This resolution which really only resulted in boy do we need Chevron deference to come to the Supreme Court soon resulted in a proposal for the Department of Education to adapt Title VI, very similar to what they did with Title IX where they said hey you know what? It's gender. Whatever you identify as you can't be discriminated against so yeah dudes! You can go into the women's locker room and toilets and all that

1:19:25 And Title VI has now defined what anti-Semitism is, and then they bundle that all up including the illegal chants which we discussed because somehow saying from the river to the sea Palestine will be free is dangerous. Very dangerous And it could spark something horrible and it's like yelling fire in a crowded theater or its fighting words, or somehow they've determined that they can write regulations. It's not even a law but regulations against this type of speech and I don't think either one of us feel that is a good idea or constitutional. I would agree

1:20:08 So where did you get some clips from and what do I got these clips? This is one of those discussions that take place on NTD would they bring a guy in and the yak-yak about About this particular thing with some ideas. I only clipped these because there's points of interest in here Here we go This is MTD. Joining me now to discuss the act is Jonathan Houlahan, General Counsel and Director of Legal Operations at Citizens Defending Freedom. Jonathan thanks for joining us good to see you again now the House passed the Anti-Semitism Awareness Act in a bipartisan vote it's not waiting in the Senate. Now Congressman Mike Lawler who introduced the bill said on the house floor quote It is absurd to oppose this that it somehow limits free speech adding that

1:20:52 Calling for death to Jews isn't protected speech, it's anti-Semitic. What is your analysis of this bill? Well this is an interesting bill I mean you have conservatives and progressives that really band together in a lot of circumstances under the banner free speech which I agree on some circumstances and here's why if you look at the Constitution First Amendment, Congress shall make up no law bridging the freedom of the press or of freedom speech. So that's the first amendment. Some of the critics of this bill have said it is too broad free speech will be chilled and it really is outside the boundaries of the first amendment That being said this is really content based restriction and thats okay sometimes right? What?!

1:21:39 advocacy for breaking laws, convincing people to break laws commit mayhem. All of those things are exceptions to the First Amendment I'm sorry? Who is this? You have to back it up again! How is this an exception to the First Amendment He said that the exceptions to the First Amendment are things like threatening somebody, sending you know doing advocating riots. Yeah but those are all exceptions in the First Amendment. Then he went into a whole bunch of other things I thought they were all part of the...I think they're all exceptions to the First Amendment, which is an extension of yelling fire in a theater. But you can't threaten somebody's life. You can't threaten the president. These are all First Amendment issues. Right but listen here what he says. Content-based restriction and that's okay sometimes right? Whether it's obscenity... Obscenities?!

1:22:36 Obscenities. Obscenity used to be against the law and it's not, well you know that's a first... Obscenities! You're the biggest violator What? Advocacy for breaking laws, convincing people to break laws, commit mayhem. All of those things are exceptions to the First Amendment. Fighting words, so it kind of falls in that bucket now the issue is is this content-based restriction with this bill narrowly tailored to a compelling government interest that's kind of the case law where it falls

1:23:11 And I would say, I would agree that it is a little broad using this definition. And they should tailor it down a little more narrow to be very specific that these fighting words are calling for criminal activity what we've seen on these campuses is adherent. It's not free speech, it's violence. It's not letting Jewish students pass all of those things are not protected speech so I get the aim of the bill but we got to be very careful when the government is trying to compel some type of content-based restriction. Let's just let's just break this one down for one second from the river to the sea Palestine will be free Do you feel that that is a fighting word? That is a call to do I feel that way no, okay. Well, I'm not Jewish

CHAPTER 20 / 41 Discussion

Title VI Enforcement, University Leadership

Critics of the new anti-Semitism legislation, including Representative Jerry Nadler, argue that Title VI of the Civil Rights Act already provides sufficient tools to prevent discrimination. There is concern that delegating more authority to the Department of Education will lead to bureaucratic overreach similar to recent changes in Title IX regulations.

title vi· jerry nadler· department of education· civil rights act· campus safety

1:23:59 Yeah, doesn't that I can assume there's some Jew Jewish people might feel that way okay. They can feel bad about it, but I mean That's their feelings. Oh, oh, sorry. I misunderstood is about hurt feelings I got expanding on the critics side of congressman Jerry Nadler called the bill misguided adding that by effectively codifying those examples into Title VI, the measure threatens to chill constitutionally protected speech. Speech that is critical of Israel alone does not constitute wrongful discrimination. Help us understand the Title VI that's referenced here

1:24:35 Well, yeah I never thought I'd agree with Congressman Nadler on much. So but under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 that ensures university or college programs are activities that receive federal funding do not discriminate based on national origin ancestry characteristics those type things so Under Title VI, those schools are already supposed to be doing that. So for example if they have these groups that are calling for violence, they're calling for death to Israel all of these really horrible things then those groups shouldn't be allowed to exist on campus They should be investigated and expelled because they're trying further a criminal act of getting intimidating students Those types of things so that shouldn't be tolerated in the first place cause it goes beyond First Amendment rights

1:25:23 So I do agree that Title VI is a mechanism already, that already has mechanisms that can be enforced without adding to it. And I would be very concerned about giving the Department of Education more authority. Look we've already seen what the Department of Education has done with gender. They redefined gender so were going to give the Department of Education more authority to investigate students when they clearly can't even get biological sex correct Okay, all right. Well good he redeems himself a little bit here yeah so we have Abbott with his Paxton's Attorney General but not Paxton the Attorney General Yeah So he's suing over title 9 and saying now We're not gonna adhere to that we're just not gonna do that No, I don't know and then in the same breath is like May is Israel Awareness Month like

1:26:21 It's like, okay. Okay all right let me see what this guy winds up with on that note Congresswoman Harriet Hageman says the bill provides no actual relief for terrorized Jewish students and infringes on the First Amendment Washington Post is saying the bill would create a clear definition of anti-Semitism in US law and then enable the Education Department to cut off funding to academic institutions that are found to tolerate such behavior based Based on that definition, do you think the bill will effectively address anti-Semitism on campuses? Not particularly. I think what we'll address

1:26:59 Antisemitism is having chancellors and university presidents enforce the law, and not allow these things to get out of hand. By enabling the Department of Education to give them more authority—again Congress delegating their authority to unelected and unaccountable bureaucrats to conduct investigations is not the answer. I mean, the answer is the rule of law using the tools that are already in the toolkit It is not lawful to prevent students of Jewish ancestry to go to class. It is not lawful to threaten or intimidate, so there are laws on the books and these chancellors and presidents at these universities need to show leadership and show courage

1:27:37 And doing the right thing is not always easy, but they need to do the right thing here. I'm just very skeptical of giving the Department Education more authority, more deference especially when it comes to our constitutional rights. Yeah, I like that Okay. He's back in your good graces We turd we totally need to we need I was talking you know who came through town the other day? We had dinner some drinks for his birthday was the oil Baron Okay, and I'm saying so you know yeah We're talking about what's going on And you know he says no should by any weird first of all He said all the Democrats. He knows and he travels in Austin So lots of Democrat he says my friends are like there on the outside Yeah Gojo But they tell me they're all voting for Trump Because they don't want to be ousted from the group from their other Democrat friends who are probably also lying? And I'm gonna vote for Trump but he says

CHAPTER 21 / 41 Discussion

Oil Prices, Natural Gas Reserves

Industry insiders suggest that U.S. oil prices are being held down artificially and could double if current energy policies continue. Despite claims of "peak oil," the U.S. possesses enough natural gas and coal reserves to power the country for over a thousand years if regulatory barriers were removed.

oil prices· natural gas· coal· energy policy· peak oil

1:28:37 It's actually bad for us because if Trump gets in, then the oil prices will kind of stay where they are and they're going to start going down. He said that if Biden gets to go for another another go around he says the oil prices will skyrocket. He says it's been held down artificially by a whole bunch of means." Well I would have asked him... I can still ask him so yeah Well, the production of oil in this country is at the highest it's ever been despite what Biden says. But it's a fact and so I think he's just saying they're making a big fuss about petroleum because of the base of idiots and because of the high production going on here and there's then...I guess cutting off to Russian stuff maybe affected the whole scene.

1:29:32 The price of oil is too high now. It's not too low, it's not artificially low by any means that I can tell. No but he says it could double... He says its crazy! Well I can see it going up Yeah yeah I'm just telling what my boy in the oil business says you know? He's in the business after all. Basically just free gas that is just out there, that no one is building any plants for. He says we can't even give it away! Gas! Natural gas... We could power the country for a thousand years with all this gas that we're not allowed to do anything with

1:30:24 It's just there. We also have 350 years that known reserves of coal that we could power the country with for 350 years plus another thousand years again, we could just be going like crazy for the next you know 1500 years it seems and no one would blink an eye but no no no peak oil! Peak oil buy your electric vehicle people Bring the grid down. I'm driving around yesterday, local driver and we're seeing all of the cars that are parked on the street and everywhere else where they going to charge? You have to charge in electric car every night! Yep yep how about Los Angeles you imagine being on the 10 with like 30% battery

1:31:16 Yeah, I can imagine. Or the 405? It's no big deal because you're not moving and the electric car only uses energy when it is moving so you could sit there for hours on end How about your air conditioner Well that would be chewing up some gas Alright, I got a couple of clips here from the napster Judge Nap Now when it comes to freedom You want to be listening to Judge Napataleato? There's another is a third group. Oh no and Napolitano was part of this third group, and he keeps bringing these and Ritter Ritter He's bringing it or not Ritter I think McGregor yeah McGregor McGregors in this third group And there's enough there's a there's Larry white. I thinks his name is another ex-spoon. No Larry something

Judge Napolitano, New Testament Hate Speech Claims

Judge Andrew Napolitano warned that H.R. 6090 could lead to portions of the New Testament being classified as anti-Semitic hate speech. He argues that the bill violates the First Amendment and predicts that federal judges will immediately enjoin its enforcement if it passes the Senate and is signed into law.

judge napolitano· hr 6090· new testament· hate speech· first amendment

1:32:15 And there's a bunch of these guys and it's like, to me... because that group that you defined I think there is another group and I think that this group and the Palatano is right in the middle of it. Well, I like him! I don't like when he has those guy on because people will say this is great, it explains everything two hours of them. It doesn't explain anything But he nails this one down the way I see this. The House of Representatives voted by overwhelming numbers to define anti-Semitism in such a way that if you repeat certain phrases from the New Testament, you can be declared an anti-Semite. Okay let them say what they want about me. Ah! but if you're a college professor or college administrator or you're a student and the college lets you say this

1:33:01 the college can actually lose federal funds. Now this is not the law yet, the Senate hasn't voted on its version of this yet Joe Biden would probably sign up because he likes to curry favor with Prime Minister Netanyahu and his government but I would think that the first person harmed by this law would challenge it in a federal court and the first federal judge that sees this thing will invalidate it. Because Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech basically means that you decide what to say and what to listen to, and the government has no say in making those decisions because the whole purpose of the First Amendment—this is right out about two dozen Supreme Court opinions now

1:33:50 is to keep the government out of the business of speech. Yeah, he's a constitutional lawyer! He would know! Regarding the House of Representatives' anti-Semitism bill did all the members of Congress who voted for passage of the bill violate their oaths of office? Yes they did. Oh yeah this is where he's taking questions... Okay I want to say mention something here you called this a resolution it appears to be an act No its HR it's a house resolution It's a resolution that resolves... there is no extra law being written here. They're adapting Title VI, that's just saying hey we think you should change Title VI and the Department of Education goes overboard. Yeah, the Department of Education is involved yeah Chevron deference get these people out! Chevron deference has got to get into place sooner than later they knock this crap off Let me just say

1:34:40 Congress would impress me if they said we're writing a law, a bill that says you cannot say this. Then you would impress me with your big mouth but no what they're doing is... You should change the regulation because they don't have the balls because they know it's completely unconstitutional so it's a resolution that says Department of Education you should change that Great question. They violated their oaths of office because every one of them took the same oath I did when i became a state judge in New Jersey, the president did when he became president A school board janitor takes and that is fidelity to the constitution which includes the first amendment not the constitution as they want it to be but the constitution as the courts have interpreted great question

1:35:29 I'll do one more and then we're done with it under HR 6090. The New Testament is anti-semitic hate speech How can you swear on the Bible in court now? How can they swear on the Bible when they take their oaths of office great question and great observation great questions statements made in the New Testament Matthew Mark Luke, John the Acts of the Apostles and st Paul's letters to the Hebrews to the Romans to the Colossians to the Thessalonians all of that is hate speech under this despicable legislation that the House of Representatives passed yesterday. I don't think the Senate's going to pass it, and it is inconceivable to me that a judge would allow it to last. The first judge before whom its challenged will enjoin its enforcement immediately." So just help me here John-I'm reading H.R 6090 house resolution

1:36:23 It says at the top, an act. But it's an act, there is acting that doesn't mean its law Just help me understand make sure I'm saying this right and it says to provide for the consideration of a definition So consideration, not this is what we define it as. Consideration of a definition of anti-Semitism set forth by the International House of Pancakes, a Holocaust Remembrance Alliance for the enforcement of federal anti-discrimination laws concerning education programs or activities and for other purposes So they're asking for consideration of a definition. They're designing something to throw at the department, I think what he said was right... They are designing something to throw it out at the Department of Education to make them do a bunch of

1:37:09 deferences, you know, a bunch of rules and the rules are only applied that the rules are designed to apply to the colleges. They get federal funding so they can hold this sort of Damocle's over their heads exactly and let them do their own thing I mean I think everybody is right You're right he's right This is just chicken kind of approach, do not want to do anything but you know pass it here. You guys go do this for us so we don't have to do it. Exactly! So we can look good in the process by voting yes and I will just remind everybody Chevron Deference

CHAPTER 23 / 41 Discussion

Chevron Deference, Supreme Court Review

The Supreme Court is reviewing the Chevron deference doctrine, which currently allows federal agencies to interpret ambiguous laws. Overturning this 1984 precedent would return legislative power to Congress and prevent "kangaroo court" agency hearings from imposing massive fines without direct statutory authority.

chevron deference· supreme court· epa· ronald reagan· administrative law

1:37:55 It is under review, will come up at the Supreme Court and what that will force is a complete redo of how laws are written. So laws will have to be... By agencies? Yeah so the agencies will no longer be able to interpret the laws. The laws will be sent back to Congress and they will have to define exactly what the law is and not leave it up to the agencies which would save our country If, if, if. And of course the irony I'll remind because I think I wrote this up in a sub stack The irony is that it all began during the Reagan administration Yes During a case where the EPA was... Because Reagan told the EPA to back off! and so they started changing their rules They backed off and they got sued by

1:38:52 by a climate change, you know grew up some climate people. Climate critters? It was its lawsuit and it was against Chevron for not having to follow the older rules because the EPA backed off and they and the courts decided hey The EPA, it's up to them. They can do whatever they want and if they back off on the rules and make things easier on Chevron that's just too bad that's just the way it is became known as the Chevron deference but then no there became an issue once we went the other way this is the problem with Republicans and Democrats. The Democrats get in and they cranked the rules up in the other direction

1:39:35 And now everyone says, oh this is bad. Well it was fine during the Reagan administration but now it's bad okay? Exactly exactly that's kind of a basic rundown It would be healing for our country But in reality this should before that case which was in the 80s Congress had a little more responsibility and then handing everything off to these quasi-kangaroo court agencies. That was part of that system. Bloated, you were part of it?

1:40:10 Yeah, when I was in the air pollution district. It was a kangaroo court they had their own hearings and their hearing board and you had to stand up when the guys came into the hearing for the agency? For the guy's in the agency? No, they have their own court system. Oh wow! All these agencies do. They have their own little kangaroo court and bring people in And then next thing you know there are so-and-so the head of whatever it is called the board Everyone stand, they all stand like a real judge. All hail! And they all sit down and then they you know... You guys are fined $1 million for doing this and that the other thing okay well what we're gonna do about it nothing? And with that I'd like to thank you for your courage say in the morning to you the man who put the C's in the Carmen criminals ladies and gentlemen say hello my friend on the other end he won the only Mr John C Devorah

Value for Value, Podcast Support Model

The "Value for Value" model is presented as a superior alternative to the struggling NPR-style funding system. Listeners are encouraged to contribute back to the show based on the value they receive, with the goal of maintaining independence from corporate advertisers and political influence.

value for value· crowdfunding· npr· podcasting· donations

1:41:03 Well, 1986... 1986. First Sunday sucks Well, I like all 1986 trolls who are listening in. Some of them are in the troll room trolling away and they got lots of stuff to say especially the last couple of topics because it's amazing and I want to remind everybody

1:41:39 that we have, I don't know. No one really knows how many people listen and downloads and what... And no one really knows We've never played that game but it seems like there's probably hundreds of thousands of people more close to 900 thousand people on a monthly basis who listened to this podcast And we love celebrating our executive and associate executive producers. That balances out because really only a couple percentage points of people who support the show, if everybody I'm not pitching for this because that's what NPR does and they're about to fold if everybody just supported us once a month with five dollars. We mean can you imagine? Can you imagine? That's the myth. That's that's the myth. Yeah it is

1:42:21 So, but I want everyone to know that under the value for value system when you do that and people say I'm broke. Is there not one single thing if you find value in the show? If you're listening to the show is now one moment in the month where you can say I'm going to contribute some value back? One less cappuccino I mean, it's just priorities. I'm only asking... Yeah one less cappuccino if everybody okay let's say a cappuccino is four bucks at Starbucks five bucks unless you're with... It was probably more. Okay let's say its four bucks though we go easy. If everybody gave us for everybody of the let's say close to a million people gave us four bucks a month that would be $4 million dollars a month we'd making yeah

1:43:03 I can see where you think this is possible. Oh, no it's not. And wow we made 50 million dollars! Yeah. It's not gonna happen? We do exactly one month of a show and retire so it's not going to happen...it's not but that's actually...you could do that yeah That's okay just from time-to-time when when you hear us asking for support consider us do that. I mean I live by the same standard all the time people say oh You got some money for this? You got some GoFundMe over here?" I live by the same rule. And honestly, it's the giving that makes me feel good. Do you ever give money to anything online? The cash flow is so lousy! It's just horrible man

No Agenda Art, Menthol Joe Satire

The show's art community continues to produce satirical pieces, including "Menthol Joe," which critiques President Biden's policy shift on menthol cigarettes. Despite technical issues with the art generator website, producers emphasize the importance of humor and "hitting a nerve" in their visual deconstructions.

1:43:49 So to balance that out, people who clearly have more value to give and that's just because of their situation. We give their titles executive and associate executive producerships this stems from our roots from Hollywood because the producers you think they're like producing a movie like calling the shots no your funding the operation so we have producers who produce in many different ways A lot of ways We probably can't thank our art, well we can thank our artists. We can't do a review of... let me see. That's okay. But I mean we're also not gonna have any arts. 1656 Johnson Pivot, very funny name, our artist correct the record

1:44:38 who, correct the record hadn't had a win for maybe a couple of months. No, correct the record has been lagging yeah And correct the record came back in with a very confusing piece of art because yes we actually used a piece of art that had kind of President Biden's face on it and so Scaramanga you know the Dutch guy he's like what is going to be okay now? Is it okay now to use famous celebrities or not okay? Thinking something thats an exception is okay and it's going to happen over and over again, is faulty thinking. Well Kenny Benn in the same conversation she had a right she says another fine Dutch artist Kenny Benn says you know the only rule is... Is it funny? Does does it hit a nerve? And I would say we're always looking for something that makes us laugh Would you agree?

1:45:31 Absolutely, the stuff that makes it...unless it's lewd. Yes. Because sometimes some lewd art will make us laugh but then we go, you know, probably in bad taste. Congress is going to outlaw lewd art soon enough yeah Yeah and we also believe in more or less good taste Okay so It's true as a fact We had Menthol Joe Of course, we know that President Biden is pandering to the black community as he calls it. Because it's all just in one zip code and you know they were banning menthol cigarettes and so now this the most racist thing I've ever heard hey blacks don't worry we're gonna let you smoke them up your menthols

1:46:20 It's unbelievable. Don't lose the black vote! No, no and then we even had a little thought little cartoon balloon there you ain't black pointing out so the hypocrisy of menthol Joe made us chuckle was a good piece um a you know correct a record is one of those pros And just a great job. There were some other ones I know that we considered, but noagendaartgenerator.com is currently down So hopefully Sir Paul Couture's okay and he's working on it and hopefully it's not too bad that we can have it up by the next show We appreciate the work that all of our artists do We're sorry if it comes across as confusing But that's that's the art world man

Niger Drone Base, Russian Military Presence

Russian military personnel have entered an airbase in Niger that also houses U.S. troops, following the local junta's demand for American withdrawal. The U.S. operates a $100 million drone base in the region, and the shift in alliance toward Russia and China signals a broader expansion of BRICS influence in Africa.

niger· lloyd austin· drone base· russia· bricks

2:02:02 African news to scare everybody off? No, no please. Come on some Africa news come on it's a shorty real shorty 39 seconds don't worry won't hurt too much The Russians are in a separate compound and don't have access to US forces or access to our equipment US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin offering reassurances that U.S troops in Niger are safe His comments came after Reuters reported that Russian military personnel had entered an airbase in the capital Niami, which houses US troops Niger's junta has told the US to withdraw the nearly 1,000 military personnel the U.S. has in the country at the same time Russia is seeking to strengthen relations with Niger and other African countries until a coup last year Niger had been a key u.s partner in the fight against Islamic insurgents it's really what do we get out of Niger I mean we have a drone base there

2:02:56 Probably minerals of some sort. I'm sure we'd get something out of it. Listen to this, this is strategic. We have a drone base in Niger. Francophone West Africa has seen a series of raging changes and radical shifts in policy recently. French troops were expelled from Niger last year and now they're demanding US troops get out as well Get out! The US has long seen Niger as a regional ally in its fight against terror groups in the region and operates a military base and $100 million drone base in the sub-Saharan desert. There you go, hundred million dollar drone base... So Russia's moving in? Where is China in all of this? Is it just the BRICs taking over everything? They don't get much publicity for what they do. They do everything pretty

2:03:47 Much on the side, but I mean do you think that the Russians and the Chinese are now working together? To uh, you know to take over Africa and all those minerals. The minerals well the Chinese i think would maybe somebody is yeah We gotta be careful this bricks has taken over we're gonna be out of luck I think so. We're gonna be out of luck, stuff's gonna be bad. Well it could happen. Yeah? Let's go to uh... We'll just print some more of that money. I do have a 3x3 by the way and maybe the last one Why maybe the last one Because you know they're getting people don't like them there. Now it's time for 3x3 because y'all hate experiment but JCD is failing comparing stories from ABC CBS and NBC

Joe Biden, Campus Violence Condemnation

President Biden delivered a formal address condemning violence, vandalism, and trespassing at university protests, stating that "order must prevail." While Biden rejected calls to change his Israel policy, Donald Trump criticized the president for waiting too long to speak out and claimed protesters were being paid by outside agitators.

joe biden· campus protests· ucla· vandalism· donald trump

2:04:37 The never-ending 3x3! Alright, well the jury is out. But you know the next 3x3 could be a comparison in a prelude to our award show could be three by three of AI jokes made about a certain topic hmm? Or three by three of Joe Biden's voice Yes there you go that now you're talking Now we have... This is about Biden condemning the violence He finally came out and said something about what's going on the college campuses. It took him forever, and so we know it's got to be the big top of the news now, so they get to do three three networks pretty much producing the same story with a variation always from CBS but let's start with ABC. Tonight, the dramatic images of authorities moving in during the overnight hours cracking down on protesters at UCLA and driving them out continuing their effort to oust them as the sun came up

2:05:32 The university declaring this pro-Palestinian encampment an unlawful gathering, calling in outside help. Hundreds of officers arriving in riot gear firing flashbangs and nonlethal ammunition We were here before. As officers cleared a library where anti-war protesters had barricaded themselves inside, police releasing photos of ball bearings and DIY armor they say were homemade weapons. criminal charges. And tonight authorities revealing what they say has become all too common outside agitators of the 12 people arrested in Portland police a just four were actually students and tonight after days of protests across the country, President Biden now speaking out saying order must prevail destroying property is not a peaceful protest against it's against the law

2:06:29 vandalism, trespassing breaking windows shutting down campuses forcing the cancellation of classes and graduations. None of this is a peaceful protest. The president condemning anti-Semitism and threats of violence against Jewish students he also spoke out against discrimination against Arab Americans there is no place for hate speech or violence of any kind whether it's anti-semitism Islamophobia or discrimination against Arab Americans are Palestinian Americans It's simply wrong. But Whitey is okay, just so you know. Whitey is okay! No problem there. Whitey can take it. Whitey? Whitey?! Whitey can take it. So let's go with NBC's Whitey

2:07:20 With the clashes between college campus demonstrators and police reaching new heights, today President Biden condemning violent disruptive protests. Vandalism trespassing breaking windows shutting down. He sounds more like faster here? Yeah did they spin him up I think they, it would be probably appropriate to give a...to play him at 1.2 speed That's what they're doing here! They spun his voice up Well we'd have to do it side by side but could be Vandalism Trespassing Breaking windows Shutting down cabins I'm sorry, I'm gonna obsess over this if I don't just listen for a second

2:07:59 Where's, uh... let me get your ABC report. Tonight the drone is driving them out continuing their effort to oust them as the sun came up. It's against the law! Order must prevail. Destroying property is not a peaceful protest it's against the law vandalism, trespassing, breaking windows. No it's the same. Shutting down campuses forcing the cancellation of classes and graduations none of this is a peaceful protest threatening people intimidating people instilling fear in people is not peaceful protest I guess the better question is which Biden is it?

2:08:43 That's the question. It is against the law! Nationwide, more than 2100 arrests have been made connected with campus protests Today Portland State University campus closed down as police made 12 arrests and cleared the school library Overnight 4 arrested at Yale 90 removed from campus at Dartmouth And at the University of Wisconsin's Madison campus, defiant students reestablishing their tents just 24 hours after police disbanded the encampment there. We're going to be here indefinitely until they meet our demands Back at UCLA, cleanup is underway Professor Graham Blair who was arrested this morning in the encampment is defending the student's right to protest despite some of the tactics they've used

2:09:27 I think anyone who is worried about graffiti on buildings on a college campus needs to come visit a college campus. It's 18 year olds who are learning for the first time how to express themselves Oh you put him... because it... please If you put him through the leftist generator he stays the same Yeah that's for sure now these two reports are interesting because ABC concentrated solely on UCLA Yes And ABC is owned by Disney, which is where UCLA is. This Hollywood, you know, UCLA Westwood as opposed to NBC, which had a more kind of eclectic look at all bunch of different colleges. So that was kind of an interesting comparison. But let's see what the big boys do it. CBS, the CIA broadcast systems

2:10:16 White House officials say it was the sheer number of violent encounters on college campuses over the past two days that prompted President Biden to speak out. There's the right to protest but not the right to cause chaos. His comments came in the wake of nearly 2,000 arrests at more than 30 colleges and universities. Just today protesters were ejected from a library at Portland State University that they had occupied for three days inside police say they found ball bearings paint balloons spray bottles of ink and DIY armor

2:10:55 Vandalism, trespassing. The DIY armor that's the trash cans they're talking about? That's DIY armor? Actually there was a girl that was on one of these TikTok videos and had a bunch of... They were armored up now because they're worried about rubber bullets What do I smell?! That's my armor! Spray bottles of ink and DIY armor Vandalism, trespassing, breaking windows shutting down campuses forcing the cancellation of classes and graduations. None of this is a peaceful protest Palestine will be free! Like many protesters, President Biden has expressed concern about the plight of Palestinian civilians. More than 34 thousand killed according to the Hamas-run health ministry But when asked today if he would change his policies towards Israel as the protesters have been demanding, Biden said simply No The unrest is now threatening to become an election issue

2:11:53 Young people are a key Democratic voting bloc. First things first, stop funding Israel. In battleground Wisconsin Donald Trump argued Biden should have spoken out sooner There's a big fever in our country and he is not talking But Trump also made this unfounded claim about campus demonstrators They do come from other countries and they are paid Unfounded claim? Really This is what broke this whole thing as everyone sees it now

CHAPTER 30 / 41 Discussion

Gaza Ceasefire Negotiations, Egypt's Strategic Role

Ceasefire talks in Cairo remain stalled as Hamas demands a permanent end to the war while Israel insists on the return of hostages. Egypt is identified as a key player, reportedly receiving billions from the EU to build camps for potential Palestinian migrants who may eventually be moved to Europe or the United States.

hamas· benjamin netanyahu· egypt· cairo· ceasefire

2:12:31 Everybody sees that half these people graduated 10 years ago. We get Code Pink lady, Medea? She's running around... That woman is like she's in her 70s or something and she's posing as a student You can just hire her you can hire her and all her cronies to go anywhere yeah hold up this sign okay donate no problem. Meanwhile Looks like no deal yet. No deal! Hamas says what? No deal, no deal... Bibi says no deal?! I got a no-deal clip. It's no deal. Israel still has its sights on Rafa and we're no closer to a ceasefire. Hamas has poured cold water on the optimism surrounding the latest round of talks in Cairo between their delegation and Qatari Egyptian and American mediators

2:13:19 The AFP quoted a senior Hamas official as saying there will be no agreement without a complete cessation of the war and accusing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of personally hindering the deal. The proposal on the table would halt fighting for 40 days and exchange hostages for Palestinian prisoners according to details released by the UK. Negotiations are set to continue on Sunday, but Israel is yet to send a delegation to the Egyptian capital. Late on Friday US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said accepting a ceasefire deal should be a quote no-brainer for Hamas and the reality in this moment is the only thing standing between the people Gaza and a ceasefire is Hamas. Protesters kept up the pressure on Netanyahu on Saturday turning out in their thousands again in Tel Aviv

2:14:06 to demand the government accept a ceasefire deal and secure the release of the remaining hostages. Netanyahu has vowed not to stop the war until Hamas is destroyed, and faces pressure from nationalists in his coalition to go ahead with the offensive against the southern Gaza city of Rafa. You know what I think? I think the problem is Hamas doesn't have 33 hostages anymore Oh, I think they're all dead but where'd you get that clip? That's France 24 Because they could press they kind of left it out. They made it sound as though Blinken's at the negotiations He's not he wasn't even there was he in no, in fact I have a clip This is from Al Jazeera which kind of brings in an very interesting who's actually at these negotiations Let me guess CIA tell me the CIA is there you nailed that well what's what's the clip? What's the clip was ceasefire delegation AJ

2:15:01 Got it. We should mention these talks are taking place in Egypt and what neither of these outfits are saying is Egypt is very key to the resolution of all this because we know Egypt has received 7 billion euros from the European Union to build Camps, which will be you know like I'm sure it's like how did he camps holiday camps then they'll open up their border and

2:15:53 which is closed, shut tight and then some of them will be migrated into Europe. And I'm pretty sure that pier that we're building there for humanitarian aid... That's where people will be able to hop off and get onto a boat and go to America So Egypt is a big player in this and it's not really discussed. Unless you have something in this next clip... No, not about Egypt being the big player but it finishes off the thought about... This guy, that guy the other guy and this R-CIA guy which is like okay. Yeah yeah all right The group says it's studying the latest Israeli proposal in a positive manner but sticking points do remain Israel wants to return of the captives being held in Gaza and Hamas is insisting on a permanent end to the war

CHAPTER 31 / 41 Discussion

Cindy McCain, Gaza Famine Warning

Cindy McCain, Executive Director of the World Food Programme, warned of a "full-blown famine" in northern Gaza. Meanwhile, Houthi rebels in Yemen have threatened to expand their maritime operations if Israel proceeds with a ground offensive in Rafah, as Netanyahu vows to continue until Hamas is destroyed.

cindy mccain· world food programme· gaza· famine· houthis

2:16:45 Those talks come as the UN warns that northern Gaza is now experiencing a full-blown famine and moving towards the south. The head of the World Food Programme is urging negotiators to reach a ceasefire as soon as possible, to save lives." Ah! Do you know who the head of the World Food Programme is? I'm gonna find out... You'll be surprised. You're gonna tell me here comes here it comes I just want to be very clear because what you're saying is significant and i believe It's the first time we've heard it, you're saying there is full-blown famine yes in northern ghazi fbf

2:17:23 Yes, I am. And there has not been an official declaration that there is famine but you are saying that based on what you've seen? Yes it is based on what we've seen and what we've experienced from the ground yes Which is... It's horror You know, its so hard to look at and its so hard to hear also So I'm just, so hoping that we can get a ceasefire and begin to feed these people especially in the north in a much faster fashion but also including as I said water sanitation medicine. It's all part of the famine issue and it's also something that we need to make sure that if the world understands we can't let this happen

2:18:10 In this day and age, when the world has the ability to feed itself ten times over nobody should starve. Nobody should starve. That was Cindy McCain, widow of John McCain. She is the executive director of The World Food Programme. Interesting isn't it? Yeah, I have a kind of a side clip is similar that has something to do with this situation This is the Houthis new threat. Have you heard this? No Okay The crowd chanted the Red Sea is blocked The Iran-backed who the terrorist group in Yemen has been firing at ships and the Red Sea That it thinks are headed to Israel as a show of support for

2:18:55 for the Palestinian people. During the rally, a spokesman for the Houthis said that if Israel proceeds with ground operations in Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip then the Houthis would expand their operations but it remains unclear exactly how the Houthis would carry out the threat Despite that, Israel's Prime Minister says he remains undeterred in achieving Israel's main objectives in the war which are defeating Hamas ensuring Gaza will no longer be a threat to Israel and returning all the hostages. We are making great efforts we have already returned half and I can tell you that we are determined to return everyone the ones who are alive as well as the ones who are dead

2:19:38 Yeah, I got a bad feeling about this. They don't have the hostages! They don't have them and i think Benjamin Netanyahu is going to get blamed for dragging his heels? You took too long if he ever comes to a deal... I'm sticking with my thesis they're gonna do a ceasefire and then they're going to wait getting closer to the election and then break it. And then it'll be broken by the Hamas terrorists, something will happen and it'll go back into full-blown war and then the protesters can take down the Democrats at the convention. So we've got on the table 40 days of cessation which is not long enough for 33 hostages which is a magic number bringing out Sidney McCain that bugs me

Turkey has suspended all export and import transactions with Israel, covering 54 product groups, to pressure the Netanyahu administration into a ceasefire. This significant escalation is expected to impact Turkish tourism and aviation, as Turkish Airlines previously operated 15 daily flights to Israel.

2:20:36 Yeah, I guess so. When is she like... what credit does she have to become the executive director of the World Food Program? Well let's take a look at her bio and maybe we can determine which agency she is associated with. Consult me book of knowledge! Alright well you take a look at that and I'm gonna play this was encouraging to me because I thought when Turkey A but formerly known as turkey When they do this, I'm thinking they're close to a deal. The complete suspension of trade with Israel is a significant escalation of Turkey's diplomatic efforts to pressure Israel Ankara is demanding an immediate ceasefire and the free flow humanitarian aid into Gaza We have taken some commercial measures to force Israel to increase the amount of humanitarian aid to pass through and into Gaza

2:21:27 First, we imposed export restrictions on 54 product groups. And as of Thursday we have stopped export and import transactions with Israel covering all products We will manage the consequences of these steps together with our business world. We are not looking for enmity and fighting with any country in our region They tell me this may cause some troubles I say that we believe that God is the only power that can eliminate all troubles and we are doing the right thing When a ceasefire is declared and enough aid is allowed to enter Gaza, the goal will be achieved. I'm thinking Turkey wouldn't... they got enough problems already so now that we're stopping all trade? They have like they've a lot of problems. Yeah you have a little bit of an analysis of what you just played okay this is the turkey cutting off Israel this guy this is only part of a long uh it's again from Al Jazeera a long discussion

2:22:21 And this guy makes the claim that Turkey has taken it into shorts for doing this. That's why I'm thinking they got to be close to a deal, why else would Turkey do this? The talk he made there, he made it absolutely clear and its not against people who said of Israel, no certainly but he single outed especially the administration named Mr Netanyahu calling him as an impossible person to deal with so until drastic measures taken the ban will continue So now I'm sure the loss of revenues in tourism is obviously very important. But what would be quite upsetting is that, you know like a Muslim country against the Jewish state type of thing that will be very wrong because Israeli tourists were always welcomed in Turkey and they're kind of causing no danger to them so they loved coming 600 000 people as mentioned coming and going. So I think behind...you know I assume especially

2:23:18 tourism season is approaching the summer, there will be efforts to probably single out this particular point. But I'm sure it's going to be a major line of discussion or important part of this ban but again Turkey seems to bear all costs so decision is there and officially announced Wow, did barrel cost he also mentioned that Turkish Airways which by the way is a great carrier? Turkish airways it had 15 flights a day going in and out of Israel to various points And those all been cut off since the beginning of this thing and it's costing them but arm-in-the-leg That's a big deal. Yeah, so they're losing The Turks are losing out course It's not as though everyone has done much for the economy

Eurovision 2024, Malmö Security Concerns

The 2024 Eurovision Song Contest in Malmö, Sweden, faces high security risks due to protests against Israel's participation and authorized Quran burnings. Malmö's large immigrant population and the tense geopolitical climate have led to the deployment of police reinforcements from across Scandinavia and the use of surveillance drones.

eurovision· malmö· sweden· quran burning· israel

2:24:07 Hmm, well maybe we can solve some of this in the way that Europe likes to operate. Maybe we can solve this by taking the vote to the people with the Eurovision Song Contest! United By Music This year's Eurovision slogan couldn't be further from the truth The annual feel-good celebration is shrouded by controversy over Israel's participation amid the war in Gaza Direct threats have been made against the singer representing Israel and thousands are expected to gather in protest when the event starts. We count on 20,000-40,000 demonstrators coming to Malmö from all over Europe It will be a very big protest 100,000 visitors are expected in Sweden's south west coast city of Malmo for the event where police authorised a Quran burning demonstration on Friday

2:25:05 In this tense context, security is a top priority. There are lots of police on the ground throughout Malmö. We receive reinforcements from all over Sweden but also from Denmark and Norway. We also use drones so that we have good overview of the event." Another major world conflict is expected to be at the heart of the event. Ukrainian group Alena, Alena and Jerry Hill will be defending the blue and yellow flag. If you talk a lot about your situation people hear you so now I feel that people heard us.

2:25:44 now and we're here to talk yeah if they win the duo say they plan to sell their trophy and donate the proceeds to the war effort like their predecessors who raised 900,000 euros in an auction on Facebook I'm telling you this is gonna be an interesting show this year because Malmo is filled with immigrants and they're burning Mo is the ground was a ground ground zero from the Muslims in Sweden yes And they just authorized a Quran burning... smart move! What? Why?! That's what they just said. They had it in the beginning of the report I know, and then I'm thinking what are they thinking this is like not necessarily a good idea For ratings! Are you nuts!? Everyone's gonna tune in At least we got that idea down Everybody's gonna tune in this year. I can't wait Who's airing at this year

2:26:34 Well, nobody here. No no no we do! We air it here. I'm someone Paramount Plus or something Something that's going out of business. Did you find out about Cindy? You get any details on Cindy? Yeah, she is rich. What did she get rich from? Her dad owned the biggest Budweiser distributor down there so when he died she inherited all that money and she's been one of those rich liberal philanthropists even though she's a conservative technically philanthropist for years and she's I guess she's been involved in a number of operations that gave her the chops to go do this what she's doing. Money laundering, just guessing it was the funny thing is she was the junior Rodeo Queen in 1968 barrel barrel rider? Doesn't say. Hey got boots on the ground report from inside Lockheed Martin

CHAPTER 34 / 41 Discussion

Lockheed Martin, China Conflict Warnings

A "boots on the ground" report from a Lockheed Martin employee claims that military brass are now warning of an imminent global conflict with China. For the first time, upper command is reportedly questioning a guaranteed U.S. victory, leading to urgent demands for early deliveries of Blackhawk helicopters and other equipment.

lockheed martin· china· defense industrial base· blackhawks· indo-pacific

2:27:36 That's barrel racer by the way. Yeah, barrel racer thank you. Boots on the ground from inside Lockheed Martin this is the defense industrial base lots of money flowing in and always good to hear from our producers boots on the ground they are truly the courageous in Gitmo Nation We from time to time get walkthroughs by military brass. Yesterday was what I thought would be the same as usual, the major talk start is usual quote we are safe because of what you build Blackhawks yada yada yada end quote it then took a serious turn he went on to say that not only do they expect on-time deliveries too asking for them to be delivered early

2:28:19 He said that for the first time in his career, upper command was not saying the usual quote threat of global conflict existed. Now they're saying it's going to happen soon. Whoa whoa what? He went on to say that for the first time The USA is not the guaranteed victor hence the need for faster deliveries This is a concerning report After he was done with his talk, management asked if anyone had any questions. I could not let him down or the show—I kind of have a reputation for asking uncomfortable questions—I raised my hand and asked why our victory was being questioned! He rambled about rising powers destabilized Middle East and all that so i looked him in the eye and I simply said who?

2:29:09 He returned my gaze. Not looking for an Emmy here, but it was quite intense." He simply said China Yeah I thanked him for saying it out loud After this was over he approached me and thanked me for the question He said he isn't allowed to say China But he could answer that question. He thought that this information would be of interest to us Oh that's cute Yes That's cute He says I think this ties in with the latest Ukraine cash dump We have billions to spend now So, yeah. I think that's a very interesting boots on the ground. We'll see what happens Well there it's the pivot towards Indo-Pacific That well there's definitely that and that's no doubt about it. Mm-hmm will be building a lot of boats Quick little updates on the big pharma industry we've had a lot of You know heart issues ever since kovat is very baffling

CHAPTER 35 / 41 Discussion

Anger and Heart Health, NBC Medical Study

A study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association suggests that even a single episode of anger can constrict blood vessels and increase the risk of heart attack or stroke. NBC News medical contributors recommend calming techniques and breathing exercises to mitigate the cumulative cardiovascular impact of rage.

anger· heart attack· american heart association· blood vessels· breathing exercises

2:30:10 It's baffling to the medical industry. What could have changed during COVID? What could it be, it is so hard to understand what could it be that is causing heart attacks particularly in young people left and right we just don't understand but But luckily, NBC has some answers for us. There is more evidence that actual anger is in fact really bad for your health. Alright previous studies have shown there's a link between frequent anger and an increased risk of heart attack but now there's a new study out in the Journal of the American Heart Association that is helping explain why that is. Yeah so NBC News medical contributor Dr John Torres is here

2:30:50 to walk through it. He's very going to calmly walk us through this. So actually, if you have an outburst of anger it shows up in your heart? It does and what we've known is that anger over time these strong emotions can really have an effect on your heart increased risk of heart attack increased risk of stroke cardiovascular issues but what this study showed is even one episode and these episodes as they multiply over your life can cause impact even that one episode can cause similar type situations and can increase your risks with these types of things. What kind of episode like ragey or mild irritation? In the study they had the students looking in a study just reviewing something that happened in their past it made them anger so they were just reliving an angry episode. So, doesn't necessarily have to be that heavy of an episode. So if you're in traffic one day and your ragey and your yell at your kids later that week and you're ragey and all these things is this cumulative?

2:31:40 It is cumulative and what happens is when this is happening on the blood level stage here, think of it like a straw. Your blood vessels are like a straw that you want them to be wide so its easy to get that fluid through the blood to get to the organs When you have an anger episode those blood vessels constrict So its like a skinnier straw You're trying to get the same fluid through and it's not working. It's not getting into the organs, the heart and brain as well plus if you have atherosclerotic plaques inside there they'll break off and that can cause a heart attack or stroke. That's what happening on that level when you have that episode and those can build up over time I will say in October it will be 17 years we've done this podcast I do not think I can remember a single time that you were mad or ragey

2:32:25 as they say here at NBC. I'm hopping mad now! I don't think i've ever heard and this is why you're still with us It's clear. Yeah, yeah I think maybe not getting the vax is probably more responsible for this phenomenon? No no no! What are you saying?! Let's talk about how to handle your anger Well and could you rage yourself in one episode into a heart attack? You potentially could If you're young if you're healthy and you have these raging anger episodes it's probably not a big deal at that time if you're older and you have one that can cause an issue we've all seen the movies where somebody angry and all of sudden they're like ah I'm having a heart attack Over time these could accumulate and these could cause problems, and that's what the researchers are saying.

2:33:06 I'm sorry, that's how to handle your anger. This is a short clip this is how you do it. How do we get our anger out? What's the best way to... So how do you get anger out? Get it out of my heart! The best thing is just use these calming techniques and they sound cliche but the biggest one my wife taught me was breathing exercises in through nose out through mouth. I can't stand this breathing exercise. You know what about the heavy bag? It's so unbelievable. No, it is believable and then I'll just wind up with this. It is totally believable. I'll wind up with this now as far as we know the only countries where you can advertise direct-to-consumer for pharmaceutical products is the United States and New Zealand. I do not think Canada allows this

CHAPTER 36 / 41 Discussion

Wegovy Launch, Canadian Pharmaceutical Marketing

The weight-loss drug Wegovy is launching in Canada, though it contains the same semaglutide molecule as Ozempic. Critics describe the media coverage as a "native ad" for pharmaceutical giant Novo Nordisk, noting that the drug has been approved since 2021 but was delayed due to global supply shortages.

wegovy· ozempic· canada· obesity· novo nordisk

2:33:58 But the CBC, I mean everything is so corrupt. They had... someone sent me three different pieces all the same imagery, you know injecting into your leg and the same girl to the same story because fear not Canadians even though this is not a commercial. You now as well can get the weight loss shot! Canadians struggling with obesity will have a new treatment option next week. The makers of Ozempic say their weight-loss drug Wigovi will be available in Canada starting Monday. CTV's Alison Bamford has more on the risks and the rewards

2:34:35 A different... What happened to benefits? It's not just a risk, it's a reward now. Risk and rewards hey I got a reward for taking this medication And the rewards A different name with different packaging, but experts say Wigovi is essentially a drug Canadians already had access to. Wigovi is ozempic and nozempic is wigovi I love this! So just so you know it's the same product as the one you've been hearing about from The Kardashians so you can take this its Ozempic don't worry It says wigovi but it's ozempic

2:35:12 is that this is a native ad which should be illegal in Canada. Completely. Canadians already had access to. Wogovi is ozempic and ozonepic is wogovi. Wogovi is classified as an anti-obesity medication, ozempic is a type 2 diabetes drug both contain the molecule semaglutide It helps us with feeling fuller longer it helps our brain understand that we're good. Health Canada approved Wagovi for weight loss back in 2021, but ongoing supply shortages made it unavailable to Canadians which is why doctors commonly prescribed Ozempic as an off-label drug for obesity management Now with a drug labeled for obesity many hope it improves access for patients who really need it

2:36:01 Hopefully the bias around prescribing a medication for weight management changes. That's the marketing lady, she's literally saying hey hopefully the bias against prescribing this... So I'm going to stop you again? Yeah What you're doing is playing what appears to be a native ad for drugs in Canada which should be illegal. On the CBC! Doctors warn against using these types of drugs for cosmetic purposes but experts say the class of medication has been around for 20 years and shown to be safe for those taking it as a long-term obesity medication Novo Nordisk, the maker of the drugs plans to ramp up production

2:36:45 as Wigovi makes its way to Canada Monday. While there are other anti-obesity drugs out there, some doctors say this one opens the door for cheaper more effective treatments down the line. Alison Bamford CTV News Regina I always had to leave the Regina in it just just makes me laugh yeah rhymes with that always makes you laugh so yeah it's good you know this been of it's been approved in Canada for three years but it's coming It's coming, we got a new shipment. It's in! It's coming in it's good We're all good to go Well that was depressing I'm gonna show my support by donating to No Agenda Imagine all the people who could do that Oh yeah that'd be fun Yeah on No Agenda

Now the reason... this one was for last week's show and I liked the story so much but it was botched by the producers in the room there when they got into their little editing suite and they kind

2:56:12 Cut the kid off and they cut the end off and just a mess, but I'd liked it so much as a basic story It's this short and is super short. Yeah And I want to play this is about a little kid who was buying the school lunches for everybody else in the school that couldn't afford him because they didn't have The money or whatever justice A great story. Fifth grader in Missouri is raising money to pay off fellow students' lunch debts It's important for kids to eat, like I don't think they can make it through the day without eating school lunch 11 year old Dakin Kramer has raised close to a thousand dollars so far. The school doesn't deny any children lunch, but that has led to a lot of unpaid bills. Kramer's made it his mission to raise as much as he can before he heads off to middle school in less than two weeks. Ah! Where was this? Where did this good news take place? That's a good question. It was the Midwest somewhere... Of course not in the city

2:57:08 Of course she wasn't in it. Not in California! Here's the highlight good news today, this is a dog that somehow was just abandoned in the mountains and they found him and brought him back to health. And shot him like cricket. A classic dog story. In the pets new intent, a dog is lucky to be alive after being found stranded on lookout mountain in Phoenix The Arizona Humane Society says that back on April 24th, they got a call about a two-year old Sharpay Mix who was hiding in a small cutout on the side of the mountain. When rescue crews got there they say that the pup was dangerously dehydrated and may not have survived much longer if she wasn't found. Officials say that she was scared but was open to receiving help from rescue crews

2:57:57 Honestly, she was too weak. She just did not want to walk at all So we did kind of a funky crazy hold her like a baby sort of situation and she actually really just relaxed and seemed to enjoy being carried down the mountain. But it was a very teeny tiny rocky trail that was pretty slick, and so Tracy and I took turns carrying her down the mountain and she's just an absolute angel. She knew we were getting her to safety and then we got her into our trauma hospital at Arizona Humane Society She does look so sweet and calm. Well, the pup was treated by staff at the Humane Society and we're told that she is doing really well now. She earned the name Bright Eyes since the person who found her only happened to see her due to those amber eyes that were reflecting behind her hiding spot. Oh she's a gorgeous girl!

2:58:49 Oh, gorgeous. Yeah this is one of those... This is an abandoned COVID dog the way I see it. Yeah yeah bright eyes is not a good name for dog though because that reminds me of Watership Down where they shoot them off I don't know. You don't know Watership Down? Do you remember that Disney movie where they shoot the mom, kill... No! Oh well. I don't watch depressing films It was a kid movie is what traumatized millions of Gen Xers around the country round the world That's it for no agenda for today Thank you all very much in the troll room we've been into like to hang out with

CHAPTER 41 / 41 Discussion

End of Show Mix, Media Deconstruction Montage

The final segment features a sound collage blending historical audio from the 1970 Kent State shootings and Vietnam War protests with modern coverage of campus unrest and the Israel-Hamas conflict.

3:01:00 Last night saw a violent raid executed against anti-war protesters at UCLA. Framing the events of May 4th, 1970 we know the Vietnam War was going on it was very active spring.

Protesters also launched tear gas or film spraying chemical agents like skunk on protesters

3:01:41 For many students, this is about much more than Gaza. It's about policing too and so at a certain point the National Guard came in and cleared them out forcibly with bayonets and a number of the students were actually stabbed trespassing, breaking windows shutting down campuses forcing the cancellation of classes and graduations. None of this is a peaceful protest. And they all go up the hill and they all turn in unison and they're shooting at us and they shoot at the students that are like 300 feet away
