About this episode

President Joe Biden met with 25 Democratic governors at the White House this week to address growing concerns over his mental fitness following a widely panned debate performance. While Governor Kathy Hochul publicly reaffirmed her support, Representative Lloyd Doggett became the first sitting Democrat to call for the President to step aside. Polling now shows Biden trailing Donald Trump by six points as 80% of voters express serious concerns regarding the President's age and cognitive health.

Speculation intensifies around potential replacements including Gavin Newsom, Gretchen Whitmer, and Vice President Kamala Harris, who recently appeared in a scripted BET Awards segment with Taraji P. Henson. Meanwhile, the FDA approved Eli Lilly’s Alzheimer’s drug Kisunla as the Biden campaign launched a new advertisement addressing the President's age. Internationally, Nigel Farage and the Reform Party influenced a projected Labour landslide in the UK, while Jordan Bardella led the National Rally to victory in the first round of French elections. In the Middle East, Israel seized five square miles of West Bank land as tensions with Hezbollah escalated on the Lebanese border.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. addressed a Vanity Fair hit piece involving a controversial photo of a charred goat, clarifying the animal was not a dog. In San Francisco, viral footage of public nudity at Pride sparked a debate over city enforcement of indecency laws. The episode concludes with a travel warning from John C. Dvorak regarding airline food safety following a mold-contaminated Delta flight to Amsterdam.

Fourth of July Fireworks and Economic Indicators

The hosts observe a significant decrease in pre-holiday fireworks displays in both the Texas Hill Country and the California East Bay, interpreting this as a sign of a struggling economy. They discuss the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's exclusion of Ted Nugent and the logistical challenges of fog during San Francisco's Independence Day celebrations.

00:00 Putin endorses Trump. Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak. It's Thursday July 4th 2024 this year award winning Kibble Nation media assassination episode 1674 This is no agenda Yeah celebrating America and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region number six in the morning everybody I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley where we say happy Fourth of July Independence Day and why is Ted Nugent not in the Hall of Fame? I'm John C. DuBois acting. It's Crackpot & Buzzkill! That's because Ted Nugent refuses to be in the Hall of Fame he outright refuses to be with The Douchess you didn't know that

00:45 Well, I know that he was never invited early on. No and that's why you know once Abba got in...I mean why would Ted Nugent want to be in the rock-and-roll Hall of Fame? Let's be honest. It's not just stubborn. I don't blame him though no of course not hey I think we have a determining factor that the economy is not doing well also noticed by many other trolls this morning remarkably less pre fireworks going off this year Oh yeah, I say that's the case here too and i will say this. We have a 3rd of July... The best fireworks display at least where I am in the East Bay is the Richmond 3rd of July fireworks display which they wisely do the day before the 4th because on the fourth

01:38 I'd say nine times out of 10, the fog rolls in and ruins it. It's true! The two times that was out there for 4th of July it was completely socked in and yet... Didn't you when I go up to some building at one point we were above the cloud layer? You could see the fireworks kind of poking through or is that my imagination? Yeah but I have done stuff like that. So uh... I can remember Jay was there I think she was like 14 or 15 am I crazy?! Yeah, well that's beside the point. Okay thanks so uh they did the 3rd of July fireworks which is always a winner because there's no fog and it's usually a slight breeze so it's actually perfect day to do it yeah around here as you mentioned it's always fogged in on the 4th and it's always on the fourth you'll sit I don't think it's going to be today tonight but nine out of ten times it sucks in

02:34 So I noticed that there was, they didn't have like last year they had all these crazy fireworks. Giant hearts, triple hearts, happy faces and my favorite one which every time I saw it I said how did they do that? A giant cube! Boom a cube! It's the damnedest thing. Now there was no fancy, it was just big bombs or big Big you know the big blossoms and that was it boom boom boom boom. Boom yeah, I thought it was disappointing Yeah, well all I know is that

03:10 Last year and the year before both years we're out here in Hill Country. Hill Country, you can't drive from Austin to Fredericksburg on Route 290 without passing by eight or nine firework sheds that are selling fireworks. That would be normal in the South? Very normal very normal and I just haven't heard it there's been very...I think like maybe three days ago someone set something off which of course is where in the hill country play they get the game Fireworks or gunfire, we're never really sure. But there was nothing... Last night I heard one like lady finger ploop! Okay economy is bad people it's bad got no money to blow it up in the air. Well we'll see tonight. Yeah I don't know. Richmond itself when they have the San Francisco fireworks the whole town of Richmond and I'd say half of Oakland

CHAPTER 02 / 44 Discussion

Media Coverage of President Biden's Competency

Discussion focuses on the media's shifting narrative regarding President Joe Biden's mental fitness following his debate performance. The hosts criticize the White House's "cheap fakes" defense and note that CNN and other outlets are beginning to report on the President's visible struggles during international events like D-Day.

joe biden· jake tapper· cnn· cheap fakes· george stephanopoulos· media bias· d-day

04:02 become Homebrew fireworks. Oh, that's the best home brew fireworks are the best things are blowing up left and right usually they're usually done by the kind of these Block parties led by some guy named Lefty in Oakland Doesn't matter where no I know lefty yeah, I got you so I've been collecting a couple of clips about President Biden and, you know, I think the beautiful thing right now... And you cannot tell me we are not in the season of reveal. Now that everyone everybody... Whatever that means Well Joe Biden is not competent Everybody knows that! I hope

04:48 that people also see that the media has been lying all this time. Well, they're desperately trying to cover that up with all kinds of reporting about other things besides their lies! No one in the media has called out Jarin for lying about the cheap fakes—that was the most blatant obviously. In fact and I don't have clips of that but i even heard I think on CNN has been the best, especially Jake Tapper. You know he's just sitting there saying well you know we saw world leaders trying to kind of huddle themselves around the president at D-Day like that's what Jareen called a cheap fake and said the media coined that phrase it really is... We're in an unbelievable time right now i just don't know if anyone cares

05:39 I don't see how it's that different during the COVID era. Well, no it's not! It's not different but now we see the lies There are a couple of things to note for one they moved the George Stephanopoulos interview to tomorrow prime time Well, it's Sunday. It was supposed to be Sunday Oh I thought it was Friday Did they move from Friday to Sunday? Is that what they did? It always is a Sunday show, it's his Stephanopoulos weekend thing But they took and moved it to prime time so I don't know if its going to be primetime Sunday or when it's gonna be How much are you gonna bet it's gonna be edited

CHAPTER 03 / 44 Discussion

Council on Foreign Relations Member Roster Analysis

An examination of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) membership list reveals numerous high-profile media figures and tech executives. The hosts highlight names such as Sheryl Sandberg, Anthony Scaramucci, and Eric Schmidt, suggesting the organization functions as a globalist network that influences media sentiment against President Biden.

council on foreign relations· jeffrey sachs· anthony scaramucci· joe scarborough· eric schmidt· alex soros· george stephanopoulos

06:23 I'm not taking that bet, but it could be... But I was starting to think about this. And so I looked up—I hate to do this because and I tell people that you want to waste a lot of time, do the Google search Council on Foreign Relations roster." Yes So I went to the SS, and I just wanted to make sure. I think already knew that Stepanopoulos was a member of the Council on Foreign Relations so I went to the SS and I just want to read a few of their names as you go through here... And let's just explain. Council on Foreign Relations is a drinking club but not like Bilderberg. Bilderberg is truly a wine-and-cheese club at this point

07:07 The Council on Foreign Relations is a globalist cabal. If you're a member, you always have work and you're expected to perform a certain way and I started noticing this the Council on Foreign Relations it's all their journalists all of them from Tom Friedman who is in the Council on Foreign Relations with the rest of them at The New York Times all these New York Times guys that are turned they have turned on Biden yeah that's great They've all turned on Biden. I'm gonna read some names from the S's and just because that it's worth mentioning we got to start with Jeffrey Sachs you've heard of him then yeah go down and down here people like

07:46 Barbara Christie Samuels II, I don't know who that is. Who's that? Sheryl Sandberg Of course! Lean In... Oh yeah she's an obvious expert She was the COO of Facebook and so she's obviously an expert on foreign relations So she should be in the club David Sanger New York Times Yes David Saperstein Anthony Scaramucci I forgot he was on there The Mooch Now the Mooch was like, worked for Trump for a while and then we did an interview with him for this show. It's one of the few interviews we do. That's right yeah And he seemed normal and then all of sudden turned on Trump out of the blue for no good reason He was obviously told to. He got the call! He is like a hedge fund guy with a restaurant I mean why is he an expert? And Bitcoin

08:36 Bitcoin Joe Scarborough. Yeah, obviously is on the list Even though Brzezinski's not but he's on the list and he's turned on Biden yeah well He had to I mean he is really a puppet I mean we've seen that over and over again And then it ran into this I forgot that she's on the list Vivian Schiller ah the old NPR lady Yeah, advertising whatever you want to call it woman. Isn't she running? She's doing something...she's always got a job because the CFR people always get work Oh she is the CEO of the Aspen Institute No no that can't be hold on second what is she doing let me see What is she doing now so listen this she was former president and CEO of NPR former head of news at Twitter

09:26 former Senior Vice President at NBC News and indeed Executive Director of Aspen Digital. So she's really on the, she does the podcast for the Aspen Institute you're on the lowest rung Viv! Going down to list we have Eric Schmidt our buddy who used to be the COO or the CTO of Sun Microsystems became the CEO of Google obvious expert on foreign relations and that has to be him He is running the drone war, the miniature drone war in Ukraine

10:02 He's working. Megan J Smith Isn't that Kara Swisher's? Ex-wife ex wife yeah, or ex husband whatever you want to call her Google yes I found that would be weird mm-hmm because by the way just for your information Cara is not on the list no and neither is Galloway it probably irks them that they haven't been invited into the club. Yeah, probably does. How come I'm not on the list? Yeah it probably does irk him now that you mention it Andrew Ross Sorkin Oh yeah well hello He's on CNBC all the time Ex-New York Times guy typical George and Jonathan Soros right beneath them Yes Alex Soros not on the list No George and Jonathan

Hey go to the G see if Donald Gregg is still on there my uncle Let me finish this. Yeah, I'll do that right now. Stone Cypher then Lawrence Summers we know and then John Sununu Donald Gregg There's a lot of interesting group of people there is A lot in New York Times, a lot of media people, a few actors Lots of gay people. Yeah go look at my uncle Greg G-R-E double g

11:40 I wonder if he's still in. No, he is not. Good for Uncle Don! Well it doesn't mean that he is not wanted... Nahh well.. He wouldn't want to do it anymore. He's done. He's tired of them all. Well he probably can't you know? Anyway let's go to Stephanopoulos' uh... So lemme finish my thought which is that since the Council on Foreign Relations which includes these people we mentioned there are tons of others Chelsea Clinton for example. Oh, yeah cuz she knows they've all turned on Biden What's to make us think that this interview that they move to primetime isn't a setup? I think that is exactly what the point is I've been tracking ABC. I have two clips from them and They are starting to open the gap

CHAPTER 04 / 44 Discussion

Democratic Governors Meeting and Biden's Campaign Defiance

President Biden met with 25 Democratic governors at the White House to shore up support following his widely panned debate performance. While Governor Kathy Hochul expressed public support, the hosts note that Representative Lloyd Doggett has called for Biden to step aside, and they analyze Biden's physical gait and scripted radio interviews.

kathy hochul· lloyd doggett· chuck schumer· hakeem jeffries· democratic governors· white house· parkinson's

12:33 and open mind about his path forward, saying he knows he has to perform well on his upcoming campaign stops as well as his Friday interview with ABC's George Stephanopoulos. See they're just saying Friday so I have a feeling they're not going to wait until Sunday John they're gonna do it Friday prime time when everybody is not looking... Well the deal was this was for his Sunday show and they were gonna record it on Friday

13:19 which gives them the two days to edit it. Yes, and get the AI but if they're going in the opposite direction... No! They are gonna tank him it's obvious they're gonna tank him. George Stephanopoulos to change public perception separately The New York Times first reported that Biden is weighing whether to continue his re-election bid a claim the White House quickly rejected The president is clear eyed and he is staying in the race. The President's widely panned debate performance last week left his campaign scrambling to stave off mounting concerns about his mental fitness today Biden speaking to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer for the first time since the debate according to a top White House aide just one day after he spoke to House Democratic leader Hakim Jeffries

14:05 He has done this outreach, he's having these conversations. It is important to him to do so with just four months until Election Day many Democrats now torn between backing the president or rallying behind a new candidate Texas Democratic Representative Lloyd Doggett on CNN becoming the first to break rings I just feel that it's time for him to step aside if we were to be able, to protect what he allowed us to gain in 2020 which was a victory for democracy. Yeah! Sources say Vice President Harris cut her vacation short and flew back to Washington to attend lunch with the president and tonight Biden also meeting privately with Democratic governors as concerns reach a critical point. Yes so this was interesting that the governors all went into the White House

14:56 I think there were eight or nine of them. Only three came out! At the White House tonight, 25 Democratic governors met with President Biden. Three of them emerging including Governor Hochul with a message of support from the group. I'm here to tell you today President Joe Biden is in it to win it The president has always had our backs we're gonna have his back as well What we saw in there today was a guy who's the guy that all of us believed in the first time who could beat Donald Trump and did beat Donald Trump The Biden administration hastily called the meeting of Democratic governors. By the way, this was inside the White House and you hear the band playing and they do this long shot of Biden walking up the aisle it was so sad they did this because you know how he walks right? Yeah he walks with a bad gait He has like a gait of someone with Parkinson's

15:51 The Biden administration hastily called the meeting of Democratic governors as it struggles to contain the damage after the president's performance on the debate stage last Thursday. Today he appeared on two radio shows and explained his problem was that he had a cold, had jet lag and had been over prepared with statistics. Now listen to this so he did too really obscure well one was a network but Black, two black radio shows because that's you know if we can still trick the black people were good to go. Failing to connect with the American people CNN aired a part of one of those interviews tonight. Had a bad night and the fact of the matter is that uh

16:30 It was, I screwed up. I made a mistake." Now listen to this where he's reading the script because no one would say it this way but of course he is reading the script. That's 90 minutes on stage look at what i've done in 3.5 years You would have said three and half year don't you think? Instead of 3.5 you can just see the script there on paper 3.5 years. Oh yeah, that's a great catch! Nobody says three point five when he was talking about three and a half if you're just casually conversing you might write three point five which is what was there of your reading it you'd read three-point five but yes

17:07 That's 90 minutes on stage. Look at what I've done in 3.5 years." Still, sources tell ABC News the president has privately acknowledged the next few days will be critical telling an ally that while he still views himself as the best candidate to defeat Donald Trump He's keeping quote an open mind about the path forward These people are now being mean we look We know the top of his head was off twice But you don't have to like You know Point it out to everybody that his mind is open From his past secretary though, the official line is defiance. He is staying in the race I don't have anything else beyond that he's staying he's staying in the race Where does it say? It says the official lines using the word defiance But she didn't say that She just said you're staying in the race No she did! I'm talking about the media I know That's what I am saying The official line is defiance and there no official line that even includes the word or even sounds like defiance

18:06 Defiance is one of those negative words, a loaded word that the media loves to use when they're slanting a story. And so because it means something's wrong with you. You're defiant! I'm just defiant! Not making sense... That's a great clip. From his press secretary, though the official line is defiance. He is staying in the race I don't have anything else beyond that he is staying He's staying in the race It's notable that of the 25 Democratic governors who participated in tonight's meeting only three emerged to publicly back The President The most mentioned Biden replacements Gavin Newsom of California Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan JB Pritzker of Illinois All of them avoided the cameras tonigh

CHAPTER 05 / 44 Discussion

Potential Democratic Replacements and Post-Debate Polling

Speculation intensifies regarding potential replacements for President Biden, including Governors Gavin Newsom, Gretchen Whitmer, and JB Pritzker. Recent polling shows Biden trailing Donald Trump by six points, with 80% of surveyed voters expressing concerns about the President's age.

gavin newsom· gretchen whitmer· jb pritzker· kamala harris· kristen welker· trump· polling

18:51 Only two of them releasing written statements supporting Biden. It's going to either be Harris or nobody by the way. Yes, that is my point we need a horse race we need everybody engaged this is for television ratings nothing else How was Ed getting ratings using Pritzker? Because the guy is fun to look at with that big fat head they always do the big close up and the transsexual brother

19:34 Oh yeah, that's right. What's the... That's the main thing! Kelly Pritzker? What do you mean? Yeah. What's this? Right. Kelly Pritzker?! Anyway The pressure's on according to Kristen Welker of NBC Today. This is just an unprecedented moment with the president frankly facing more pressure by the day. Look, Democrats as you say they defended President Biden over concerns about his age but things clearly changed since the debate there has just been a wave of panic within the party based on my conversations and it And it is significant that those cracks are starting to emerge, we just saw Gabe map out. But the question is will the pressure be enough for the president to step aside? Here's what I'm looking for Craig, what happens to polling in the coming days and weeks do donors start to abandon the President and do more lawmakers start to air their concerns publicly if a top Democrat for example starts to come out and call for the President to drop out of the race. That's game changer that's when the floodgates really open

20:32 Oh, that will be a game. Let's see what the Biden administration... Wow! This is so good I mean pay attention to this because you're not going to hear this kind of stuff often in your life considering the four-year cycle but this is really particularly from a Democrat. The media are all left leaning borderline Marxist they're all authoritarian they love just Just getting mad at the right and the far-right, and the GOP, and the conservatives. And you know... Fascists! Yes, the Nazis This is something to behold this is really a beautiful moment I hope we have four more years of this Facing doubts from within his party and new polling that shows The President falling further behind former President Trump Today candidate Biden telling his team No one is pushing me out

21:29 The president and vice president held a conference call with campaign staff. Officials say he was direct, saying to aides... Let me say this as clearly as I possibly can, as simply and straightforward as I can. Say it! I am running. Nearly a week after the debate that the White House labels a bad night, The President called key congressional Democrats officials here acknowledging the strain That the last few days have been challenging With more troubling signs in new polling done after the debate President Biden now trailing former president Trump by six points Have you, let's go on LinkedIn and see if a Jareen Kabul Abdar. If her resume is out there yet she's got to be... Hey Linda Lu! It would be open for work

22:17 entertaining offers. 80% of those surveyed said they consider the president too old to run again The White House says the president is now feeling great after citing a cold on debate night The President told donors Tuesday evening that he had jet lag, too Though the debate was 12 days after his return from Europe The President said that this is not an excuse but an explanation So of course they went to the piggy bank turned it upside down Oh wait stop That's another fine piece of wordage. Oh yeah, it is not an excuse! It is an explanation. That is dynamite. It's quite good. Honey I did not cheat. I'm not making excuses, just making explanations. No that didn't quite come out right... No that was no good. But you could structure it that way?

CHAPTER 06 / 44 Discussion

Biden Campaign Ad Analysis and January 6 Claims

The hosts critique a new Biden campaign advertisement that addresses his age while attacking Donald Trump's record on the economy and the January 6 Capitol riot. They compare the ad's aggressive editing and rhetorical style to historical propaganda.

joe biden· donald trump· january 6· campaign advertisement· insurrection· truth· rhetoric

23:12 So they broke the piggy bank, took out the last pennies. Let's do one more ad everybody we can convince him! Did you see Trump last night? I mean it sincerely in most lies told in a single debate. He lied about the great economy he created. He lied about the pandemic he bought and then His biggest lie he lied about how he had nothing to do with the insurrection of January 6 We're gonna walk down To the Capitol and I'll be there with you. We saw police being attacked a capital being ransacked Not a single thing to stop it nothing

23:56 Folks, I know i'm not a young man. But I know how to do this job! I know right from wrong! No! I know how to tell the truth and I know like millions of Americans know when you get knocked down you get back up. I'm Joe Biden and I approve this message Yo, that's really amazing piece of editing. That ending there... You could just put Hitler in there. I know right from wrong! I know how to tell the truth! I know what millions of Americans know When you get knocked down, you get back up! I'm Joe Biden and I approve this message. You know? That really could have been a

CHAPTER 07 / 44 Discussion

Governor Jared Polis and the Biden Stutter Narrative

Colorado Governor Jared Polis defended President Biden by attributing his verbal stumbles to a lifelong stutter. The hosts reject this explanation, playing archival clips from 2014 to argue that Biden's current articulation issues are a recent cognitive decline rather than a speech disability.

jared polis· colorado· stuttering· bernie sanders· health· obesity· articulation

24:44 Hitler. A Hitler ad, yeah! So here's... I just want everybody to hear a big loser if you want to hear a loser now a guy who granted is trying to be do the right thing but he didn't read the tea leaves this is the biggest loser of the year This is the governor of Colorado. him stumbles during a speech, they listen to him mispronounce words from time to time. What do you say that voter who's saying well I hear what Governor Polis is saying but i also can see and hear myself? Well first of all I don't know if many American people know what the president himself was very open about that he has had a stuttering problem since he was young man so I mean if you look at him talking during his senate career decades ago

25:39 No. Let's go back to 2014 Biden, let's see if he was stuttering then I aspire for one of my grandchildren become wealthy so when they put me in the home i'll get a window with a view you know? Right now as I pointed out It was embarrassing Bernie Sanders net worth is more than mine I Have less money than a socialist. I don't know what the hell happened And I've been doing this for 44 years, so you think I'm kidding? I'm not kidding unfortunately no He had no stutter problem. That's a lie! The stutter thing is ridiculous. He has always had issues around articulation that he has dealt with... No, we just heard this one. On this show over the last 17 years we have done

26:29 Because it started during our show when he started to sound drunk. Yeah! And we even had a theme for it because we play a Biden clip when he was vice president and onward called Drunk or Not Drunk specifically for his clips Yes Part of his personal narrative he talks about how we overcame speech disability to become the leader. Speech disability! That he is today I also think it can't really be an election issue when the likely nominee on the other side is basically just as old and probably in worse health. Worse Health? How can this be an election issue when the comparable candidate, the likely nominee of the Republican Party not only is of the same age but also is obese and not as healthy doesn't exercise much. Alright loser! This guy wasn't read in No that's what I'm saying he's a loser He's out you know? He's not even going to be governor for Colorado for long There's no way Wrong script pal

CHAPTER 08 / 44 Discussion

Van Jones and Internal Democratic Party Panic

CNN commentator Van Jones reports "full-scale panic" behind the scenes of the Democratic Party, with officials exchanging legal memos via WhatsApp to explore replacement options. The discussion suggests that a transition to Vice President Kamala Harris is being actively planned despite public denials.

van jones· cnn· kamala harris· whatsapp· legal memos· democratic party· transition

27:30 So now we get into the pivot here that we all have heard. We need to start it off with Van Jones on CNN, Van Jones not a dummy you know Bezos gave him 100 million dollars to give away as he saw fit for his non-profit so I'm sure some of that went into the campaign but where is he going to put the money now? He even drops a little K-word in here. Look, I'm just going to be honest... Please! That's refreshing Van, be honest for once. Look, I'm just gonna be honest, everybody comes on the air and says all this great stuff but behind the scenes it is full scale panic

28:07 People are passing around legal memos, PDFs are flying back and forth on WhatsApp trying to figure out what are the options? How can you replace Biden? How do you get him to do it in a way where he feels respected as he should be respected. Who should Kamala Harris's vice president be? The conversation on air and the conversation off... Whoa! I mean he just drops that in like a lead balloon Like you know we got PDFs flying back and forth on whatsapp We got legal briefs who should Kamala's vice president be hello van air are completely different And so I the same thing with you saw what with it with the Trump situation where people would come on here and defend from Then you talk to people, and then we've got a crazy candidate. We don't have a crazy candidate. We have a great candidate We have a beautiful man. We have someone who loves this country. We have someone who has given his all

28:57 I mean, his all to the last drop for this country. But he may not be able to get across the finish line and a mature party has to take that into account and that is what's happening. And so look, I understand people want to defend him and protect me give him their space in the dignity to make his own choice but there is a big conversation happening right now about how this happens now whether You know, it's actually kind of interesting. He says something in here that you know it could have been code is not but I want to explain it let me see if he's passing around legal memos PDFs are flying back and forth on I didn't say never mind So that's Van Jones basically saying it's going to be Kamala, we're looking at all the legal ramifications. All different angles as a lot you know Van Jones has money so he is big man on campus now if you really want to know what's going to happen We need to go to the source To one of people with real big money It's not the biggest but probably The most visible who doesn't speak much and He was at the Aspen Ideas Festival

CHAPTER 10 / 44 Discussion

Kamala Harris Media Rebranding and Vogue Coverage

The hosts discuss the strategic media elevation of Vice President Kamala Harris, noting Jill Biden's recent Vogue cover as a signal of the administration's grip on power. They analyze Wall Street's perspective that Harris is underestimated and holds a significant advantage due to her access to the Biden-Harris campaign war chest.

kamala harris· jill biden· vogue· jerzy kosinski· being there· war chest· approval ratings

34:12 withdraws, drops out, drops dead. And I think you and I have seen... Wow! What a coincidence having that Vogue article come out You know, the day after the debate or two days after the debate with Jill Biden on the cover. They never had Melania on the cover by the way an actual supermodel no don't have her on the cover and she's talking about you want to see what power is like when you step off of the plane and you can whisk around town through that red light it's awesome in your $10,000 dress now fantastic Jill

34:50 So, they're not going to give up. That doesn't seem like it but something will give because there's just too much pressure Here is Wall Street take Do you think people are underestimating Kamala Harris? It has almost become a joke Oh, absolutely. Look, you know, Kamala Harris has three advantages one she'll be totally underestimated in politics having low expectations is one of the greatest advantage that you could have secondly she gets all the Biden-Harris money which is not able to be transferred to any other candidate so she gets the war chest she'll be very well funded Third, look at her approval rating with Democrats. 84%. She's much more popular than the president with young voters. She is very popular with black voters and she'll help drive women turnout by women. I think people will totally underestimate the vice president. I'd put my money on her

35:40 Yeah, put my money on her. So of course Kamala... This is like worse than a bad novel. I think that Kamala Harris the blowjob artist from the Bay Area has managed to get all the way to the presidency this is like that novel by Jerzy Kosinski I think it's his last name I can't remember anymore being there which became a movie about Chauncey Gardner who was a gardener who's, I don't know if you remember that story. This is what this looks like to me some woman who was just kind of a character to say the least and all of us said she's president United States really? How does that movie end? I don't remember how it ends What is Brunetti doing? Is he directing this? Is he producing this charade

CHAPTER 11 / 44 Discussion

Kamala Harris BET Awards Appearance and Pandering Allegations

38:53 And it's just annoying when she ran for president against the field, she was one of the first to drop out because no Democrats liked her at all. But now all of a sudden according to the clip you just played a couple clips ago 82% of all the Democrats love her! Love her? Please... Now okay we'll get this analysis in a moment I just want to play the rest of this code switch I'm doing a show with Mo pretty soon.

I talked to Mo for hours on end doing the podcast I don't start talking yo Mo like Dan like that man Like I don't talk like that Now if you want to hear someone who's really unhinged, I just...I love... You've really collected a good collection here. Yeah thank you! Well that helped the Jones Brothers are in there as well Here's Joy Reid

CHAPTER 12 / 44 Discussion

Joy Reid TikTok Rants and Project 2025 Rhetoric

MSNBC host Joy Reid released a series of informal TikTok videos urging Democrats to stop infighting and focus on defeating "Hitler" (Donald Trump). The hosts discuss the media's focus on the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 and compare it to previous political platforms like the Contract with America.

joy reid· msnbc· tiktok· project 2025· heritage foundation· hitler· 1619 project

41:49 Joy Reid on the street now because you know she didn't have a she seems to be on MSNBC 14 hours a day, but it wasn't enough No We've got to do a little we're gonna. Do alive y'all just tell me who the nominee is gonna be Let me know when you guys are finished fighting amongst yourselves Who I gotta vote for in November to keep Hitler out the White House That's all I want to know To keep Hitler out the White House y'all do your thing play in traffic all you want in front of these Republicans, acting a fool in front of these people instead of privately declaring your stuff. But don't text me no more because I'm not taking no more of these texts

42:24 Just let me know when you guys are finished figuring it out Democrats because I know y'all the freakout people go ahead and freak out Have your conversation and then let me know who I got a vote for to keep Hitler at the White House That's it. I'm done Oh, and by the way if its Biden in a coma imma vote for Biden in a coma I don't even really particularly like the guy A lot of his policies don't like him He's not Donald Trump right? Yeah, Hitler White House. We keeping them out keeping project 2025 out That's all I care about up and down the ballot from the root of to the tutor School board way up to white house and everything in between governors members of Congress I'm just gonna vote all the way down To keep these people out The Project 20 25 thing is the whole Republican Party at this point it's not about Biden It is not about him its above me now There's a Best Western next door it is about keeping Donald Trump

43:13 and his Project 2025 friends out of power. Hey, you know we've really got a weak economy. It looks strong but people are hungry We have problems with inflation You know Nvidia is propping up the whole stock market We have two wars going on Israel's about to pick a fight with Hezbollah When does it go to Iran? No None of that These people don't care

43:49 about America at all. All they care about is, rooter to the tutor! All they care about is not getting Trump in... that Trump does not become president. That's all they care about and the new talking point is back to that tired old Project 2025 which is from The Heritage Foundation we went through it It's not all that crazy. It's not like you know we're going to be lynching people Let's stop for a second and take it and take stock reflect on this joy reads she's on tik-tok doing these things Yeah, this is ruining her brand What brand? She has a brand. It's on CNN or CMS MSNBC I never remember which of the two was same thing

44:34 And she's scripted, she's made up to the tens. She looks good on that show and she has a good script to read and she has got a pitch that is not bad for that side of the argument. She comes on here and she's go no makeup on, she is bald as a billiard She's ugly. She's an ugly, ugly woman and she's lecturing you in a condescending manner that they would never allow on television. Her producers would call her out for that. She's condescending enough on television but not like these TikTok videos. And it's annoying... I think she's going to end up losing her job!

45:19 Oh, this is the stupidest thing I've ever seen anybody do. Is these videos? I will cry by the way way too close to the camera just like holy you scare the crap out of kids It's just terrible terrible Well we don't want that to happen John because we still have four more years to go We need Joy Reid for the comedic element of the show but the point being that the talking point is we don't want Trump in and And with the evil project 2025, which is just not all that evil. It's like okay so they're pro-life. Okay gee how incredibly evil it's not all that evil as you know it's a plan for America

46:07 And, you know we've discussed it on the show. But it doesn't mean anything this is just another one of those things like contract with America It's just a variation of that which was done by Newt Gingrich back in the olden days Yeah but I think because its project 2025 somehow it's contrasting the 1619 project that hoax which completely rewrote American history Like, we're just slave owners. Someone posted today and it was a retweet on podcastindex.social which I try to keep politics out of that group actually just blocked the person who who was re-tweeted and went away from the timeline It was like you know we declared these truths to be self evident unalienable inalienable rights now excuse me while i go and rape my slaves what are you people doing?

CHAPTER 13 / 44 Discussion

FDA Approval of Eli Lilly Alzheimer's Drug Kisunla

The FDA has approved Eli Lilly's new Alzheimer's medication, Kisunla (donanemab), designed to slow the progression of early-stage dementia. The hosts discuss the drug's $695-per-vial cost and speculate on its potential use for high-profile political figures showing signs of cognitive decline.

eli lilly· fda· alzheimer's· kisunla· donanemab· cognitive impairment· parkinson's

47:01 You know, it's disgusting. It really is! It pisses me off when people do that. Anyway there's only one thing that could spoil this all even though you and I and many people who have written us all agree that the evidence for Biden's ailment is more Parkinson's than anything Yes, which I got into back and forth with a number of people because he doesn't have the tremors. And you don't have to be corrected that it's not necessarily tremors right? You how you not all Parkinson's results in tremors. That's right but that gate is particular as Parkinson's his part and dementia so but in the uninformed electorate people say oh he's got Alzheimer's

47:52 So, let's just say that what people believe. It doesn't matter if they're correct or not. This could be the saving grace! in the brain. The Eli Lilly drug will be sold under the name Kosunla, about 7 million Americans 65 years and older live with Alzheimer's. Okay uh Eli Lilly... Wait before you I have a better version of that. Can i just say one thing about this? Eli Lilly hello you need to talk to the Curry Dvorak consulting group about your name! Oh the name is terrible it should be called Joe Zempick obviously

48:36 The Curry-Dvorak joke consultants. Now, they let that report not as good as the NTD one which is the Alzheimer's drug because there's a little phrase in there that they left in by having the doctor come on and talk about it. And that phrase just floored me." On Tuesday, the Food and Drug Administration approved Eli Lilly's Alzheimer's medication Dananamabdenobap. The new treatment is designed to slow the progression of early stages of Alzheimer's disease. Neurologist Richard Isaacson says this is good news. Good news! This drug shows us

49:14 is that the earlier we intervene, the better the patient will do. We can have slowing by 35%, and that buys a lot of time and that's very exciting." The drug will also be used to treat patients with mild cognitive impairment and the mild dementia stage of Alzheimer's disease In June, a panel of independent FDA advisors agreed Dounanat Manobab was safe and effective It'll be sold under the name Kisuna and cost $695 a vial before insurance. You're dead! Safe and effective. To wrap this segment up, someone alerted me to or pointed this little segment out from our show This is from episode... what was it? 1446 When was this? Let me see I think it's April

CHAPTER 14 / 44 Discussion

Biden Family Dynamics and Protective Dog Behavior

A discussion of the Biden family's German Shepherds and their history of biting Secret Service agents leads to a theory about the household's high-anxiety environment. The hosts suggest Jill Biden has assumed a dominant "Nurse Ratched" role as the President's health declines.

joe biden· jill biden· german shepherds· secret service· biting· domestic dynamics· nurse ratched

50:09 April 28th, 2022. I'm going to double down on this we have about five more months until the election a lot can happen in the stock market and a lot can happen in the economy A lot can happen on the global stage with wars I am particularly looking at what's happening now with Hezbollah you know they killed one of their top guys that is never something people take lightly Let's go back for second and listen to what my prediction was And I'm gonna make a prediction. It'll be very similar to my prediction that I made in 2015 by the time 2024 rolls around it is my belief and My sincere belief or I could say, I do believe that people even People on the left will be begging for Trump They'll be begging for him to come back and fix it That's my prediction you write it down help. Yeah, that's a pretty wild one I'm doubling down

51:09 And I don't see anybody begging him, but yeah. Yeah, I think they're getting a man there's no doubt about that No, I want to make a car you have to bring in something Mimi brought up and about Biden and that is and she it's two points She made one is about the dogs his dogs and of course being kennel owners We know about dog behavior He had two dogs, two German Shepherds that bit Secret Service guys and they were biters. Multiple times! Multiple times! Multiple biters She says that if you're in a household where you're protecting somebody because he's sick, like biting, you know, yeah You're overdoing it It creates an anxiety in the room

51:48 that the dogs sense and they pick up on, and they become extremely protective. Oh, that's good! And so they start biting people... just random people are supposed to be under you know... Yeah especially people who are close to the president trying to do their Secret Service duty So that is interesting point I liked but the other one which was a sicker point and it's more of a point that women can come to More like Mimi yeah yes We know if we really look back on it, Joe Biden throughout his career was a prick. He would shoot people out he poke them in the chest that he was an A-hole and we know this with that poor woman who accused him of sexual assault and then she had to move to Russia yeah who is on the staff

52:38 He has to be that, according to her. She has to be that way all the time. In other words was probably a mean-spirited A-hole husband that Jill married and stayed with and put up with a lot of crap. It's in... She is now on the... she has the upper hand now and she can torment and torture him by making him run more and letting him get humiliated constantly She's like a nurse ratchet. And she just turned into this woman who can now, the shoes on the other foot I'm the boss now and she loves it

RFK Jr. Dog Eating Allegations and Vanity Fair Hit Piece

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. faces a "hit piece" from Vanity Fair involving allegations of sexual misconduct with a babysitter in 1998 and a controversial photo involving a charred animal carcass. RFK Jr. clarified the animal was a goat (cabrito) from South America, while acknowledging he has "skeletons in his closet."

rfk jr· vanity fair· joe hagan· dog eating· sexual misconduct· babysitter· skeletons

53:21 Because it's after all these years of probable abuse and I would guess that's true She can now do the abusing and she knows where all the money is She's got the keys to the houses on the islands and everything. Yeah, she's in Easy Street And I mean let us keep the jet but she definitely is the one behind pushing him You gotta run again Joe don't let him push a down you can get a net Jets card no problem Speaking of dogs, the knives are out for Bobby the Op just to make sure he doesn't try and slip in. Newsweek reporting there's a picture and they show a picture of RFK Jr eating a dog! Yeah, he discussed this on one of the podcasts that was on. It was a Cabrito. It was a goat. And it wasn't actually eating it, it was holding up the carcass which is you know... That's South American thing isn't it? Pretending to bite it

54:14 It's a common thing in that where he was it wasn't in Korea. It was not so But then the second thing they have and this is from Vanity Fair I think as a vanity for you have any very fair did a hit piece on him out of the blue No, really? This piece was well while you want to hear or have a clip. I've equipped it Well, let me just finish it was orchestrated obviously way in advance two months because you don't these pieces You can't write overnight no A new report from Vanity Fair is leveling a range of new allegations about his conduct. The author of that article, Joe Hagan joins us now he's the special correspondent for Vanity Fair. Joe good to see you thanks so much for being here tell us about how well what you are learning about this what you found? Well I began this reporting about two months ago and

55:00 And I started to hear, you know, whispers of this kind of thing and reached this woman who had been through a long process of trying to decide whether she wanted to come forward. As you can imagine it requires a lot of guts to come on the record and talk about things like this in public against a figure like Bobby Kennedy, who's a powerful man from a powerful family. And today as you just pointed out those allegations came out she was a babysitter for him in 1999 1998 And he made some advances on her, unwanted advances on her. Groped her she says she recorded some of this in a diary that was concurrent with the times Now he's was asked about it point-blank today and he said he had no comment on it and also made some other comments that You know He's no church boy and what he did in his youth you know was he's got skeletons in his closet he said

55:59 Well, he was 45 at the time of these allegations which sort of post host youth as far as I can tell but So he's not said anything about him He hasn't expanded on it. He has a rebutted it remember one Vanity Fair was kind of like just the lower rent Vogue and they had fashion and you know some celebrity stuff And now they're doing hit pieces, political hit pieces. Well that entire operation which I think is now owned by Advanced includes Teen Vogue which is a socialist organ

CHAPTER 16 / 44 Discussion

Youth Political Apathy and the Kamala Train Meme

A text chain circulating among young people in Brooklyn uses drug-related emojis and "Xanax" references to mock the idea of a Kamala Harris presidency. The hosts interpret this as a sign of deep political apathy and cynicism among Gen Z voters who feel pandered to by the Democratic establishment.

brooklyn· gen z· kamala harris· ketamine· k-hole· xanax· voting

56:36 Teen Vogue has... Wait, wait. Vanity Fair and Vogue are owned by the same publisher? Yeah. Oh okay. And Teen Vogue is for all practical purposes a Marxist operation and they have articles in there trying to encourage teens to think more positively about socialism I mean it's just really terrible. Well you know Elyse is staying with us she's 27 And she runs in the circles in Brooklyn, New York. She knows about our show of course and she sent me...she forwarded me a text message that's going around on the text chain

57:18 And it's filled with emojis, but I'll just try and read the words because every word is an emoji. It's like you just got a ticket! Ticket emoji... To the Kamala train The bar car is open, the conductor is zanned up as in Xanax, and we've just hit a cow without even slowing down Fave heart and send to ten friends or you'll fall into a K-hole forever And none of them are voting. She says none of her friends are voting, they don't care, they've given up So I think there's nothing It is all gone All gone! It's a K-hole Oh when you take too much ketamine? Recreationally

58:00 And then you... So that note was laced with drug references. Yes, yes! Yeah well that's the general feeling is like we're not playing in this we don't care Kamala is gonna be president whatever We'll just continue our blue collar jobs That's the message Well it sounds like they wanted support for Kamala to me Yeah but they're all laughing about it They're all there. They think it's hilarious, like you know that yes this the idea is they're all being pandered to to support Kamala Harris and they're like no No Well, they're gonna have it You know This is interesting because you have two schools of thought people looking at this about Biden quitting and there's a lot of adamant No He's going to be on the ticket guys who are being pushed out and I think by the Council on Foreign Relations Stooges

59:00 And I think, and then the other group is that there's going to be replacing them. There are some people who say even Gavin Newsom could get in which is politically incorrect it's not gonna happen you can't move a black whatever you want to call her advertising out and put some white slick guy in instead of her. I mean you could almost just swap out the heads and leave Kamala as vice president but that's not gonna fly because Kamala is not going to put up with it. The only strategy that is left, assuming that Kamala becomes the president and then runs for re-election as president

59:41 to make her as viable as possible through Hollywood and, you know, smoke and mirrors. And then cheat their ass off! Then say well we always knew she could do it, ya know? I think that's... Well that's gotta be the strategy there is no other strategy than what you just said. Exactly There is NO other strategy then Phony baloney it up with her and you write use Hollywood people Do some great at some of those ads where you get the celebrity after celebrity? Yeah, and make her seem smarter than she is And then cheat yes, and then claim that oh yeah. I was all you know She's she's great, and then she's another puppet there who I don't know

CHAPTER 17 / 44 Discussion

UK General Election and the Rise of Nigel Farage

As the United Kingdom heads to the polls, bookmakers predict a landslide victory for Keir Starmer's Labour Party. The hosts discuss the collapse of the Conservative Party, the influence of Nigel Farage's Reform Party, and a conspiracy theory regarding Barack Obama's recent visit to 10 Downing Street.

keir starmer· rishi sunak· nigel farage· reform party· labour party· tories· brexit

1:00:26 So today is election day in the United Kingdom, which is a couple clips. Which is hilarious seeing as you know it's the day we whoop their butts. What was the point of doing the election on the 4th? Well to snap elections... well I want to hear..I have only one clip so I'd like to hear your clips first what you got. I do have a couple round up clips. Roundup Yeah, you take elections clip. Ah good! Bookmakers say Keir Starmer's central left opposition Labour Party is set to win a record majority in todays general election in the UK. Britain's Conservative party all but conceded defeat to Labour yesterday A day before polling stations even opened

1:01:08 and warned that the opposition party was on a course for record-breaking victory. Facing predictions of the worst results in the party's history, The Conservatives turned their focus to damage litigation They said they needed to hang onto enough seats to provide an effective opposition to a Labour government Damage litigation? I thought that was a good term They already gave up yesterday The conservative Tories came out and said, well we're okay. They conceded before one vote was cast so that's how bad it looks. Well there was a very interesting deconstruction on the Lotus Eaters podcast and I have a minute of that which i think was...

1:01:55 pulls back an event that happened in the last couple of months that we didn't really discuss and kind of didn't know what was going on but I like the analysis. One last thing if i could add to that which is a little bit conspiratorial because there's no proper proper... You know this is obviously why I liked it, it's conspiratorial okay! Full-blown evidence for it but it sort of almost inexplicable a lot of people have been saying like why you described as like a stroke? It's almost inexplicable why they're why the Tories are being so bad, trying to get themselves re-elected. Do you remember when Obama came and visited out of the blue? He came and visited Rishi. Yeah yeah what was he doing hanging around? It feels like...and again there's no proper evidence for this but it just feels like he sort of had a message from the party of Davos from the WEF overlords whoever it is saying it's time to call an election and throw it

1:02:47 We want Starmer in now. We see a window of opportunity where Starmer, our other puppet, our backup puppet can get a massive majority and that's better for us now so call an election and throw it! Yeah the Uni Party stays in power forever now which is why it's so imperative to vote reform frankly So we've gotta make sure Farage can get somewhere Nigel for PM this time round Exactly yeah Make it happen Very plausible Remember how weird that was, that Obama all of a sudden went into 10 Downing Street? That's just a couple months ago. It is an interesting idea there is some thought that Farage created this Reform Party to help destroy the Tories which he has some heart on about and so he did and he keeps trying to become an MP He's been trying to do that for I think 17 years

1:03:46 Never made it. No and whether he gets in this time or now It's another issue, and he'd be funny if he was great would be good for the show be great but for everybody But he always kind of backs off at the end, and there's some there's a scurrilous number of Scurrilous substag columns about him being gay And being blackmailed yeah you were all over that Well, I was my contact in England Andrew Olofsky is a writer fellow writer he's the one that turned me on to this what's going on because it turns out that Barrage kind of creates a problem and then all of a sudden out as blue just backs off and disappears Maybe maybe just makes his money by making problems. You need a problem

1:04:32 You need a problem? It'll be 100,000 quid. Give me a problem." But this is going to be a laughable situation because labor... just to summarize it the Tories ruined the country they didn't do anything they did that public services are down the tubes and this last year which is what Orlowski was I was talking to him on the phone He thought it was kind of baffling is that because of Brexit, the idea of Brexit was to keep immigration down. And this last 12 months immigration's the highest in England ever! You know I one of our friends in the UK and she was texting Tina he said you know I was on Oxford Street and its nothing other than Muslims

1:05:24 women in hijabs and more. She said it doesn't look like London at all anymore, and London was kind of a melting pot but now it's just she said I would hate to see that happen to any city anywhere It's just not London anymore. The whole street picture has just completely changed. Now, Amsterdam has some of that Rotterdam or some of that but not like that We got a boots on the ground from our Brahmin in the UK Sir Abs says hi guys want to give you a boots on the ground report the UK general elections I'm a brown Hindu guy John I'm a Brahmin

1:06:05 He says, a silent revolt is occurring. I'm getting WhatsApp messages after WhatsApp messages from black brown and white people urging each other to vote for Farage's reform party! I was not going to vote for anyone at all but i've been convinced. I'm voting reform this Thursday and so has my whole family everyone thinks labor will get the majority we'll wait and see he says I saw that note and then after that is when i talked to Orlowski who says the Farage thing was a psy-op. And then I thought back on that note and said well this sounds like a psy op note to me, to feed our podcast with dubious information. The Reform Party's not going... he's gonna get a few seats maybe. You're saying that a knight of the Noah General Roundtable is trying to psi-op us?

1:06:51 Do you think that's impossible? I think it's a high insult. Yeah, i'm not insulting anybody just saying It just seemed a little suspicious at the time. I'm not convinced that this whole thing anyway to continue with the analysis of the Tories having wrecked the country allowing immigration to completely take over and then public services to go down the tubes and the health service to drop dead The Labour Party is ran on the conditions they say, they're not going to change anything. They're not going to improve anything so most analysts if you watch Deutsche Welle and France 24 when they bring the Brits on, they say that's gonna just get worse

CHAPTER 18 / 44 Discussion

French Elections and the National Rally's Energy Policy

Jordan Bardella and the National Rally achieved a significant victory in the first round of the French legislative elections. The party's platform focuses on reducing energy taxes, ending wind power subsidies, and investing in nuclear reactors to combat inflation and "punitive ecology."

emmanuel macron· jordan bardella· national rally· marine le pen· nuclear energy· wind power· inflation

1:07:37 Boots on the ground from our producer Craig and he and his son were in London in March. He said there was a specific stop on the tube between Heathrow and downtown where every sign was both in English and Arabic It's crazy That's crazy! So then we have France where the, uh... Where of course the far right! The far right! The far right! Oh, the fascists. Oh no they're in they won oh no round one Tonight headlines across Europe declaring President Macron humiliated by a charismatic 28 year old with an impoverished childhood and no university degree

1:08:17 Jordan Bardella's far right, former fascist anti-immigration party winning third. I like that read! Former fascists... anti-immigration party. He'd agree, Jordan Bardella's far right former fascist anti immigration party winning 33% of the vote how do you how can you be fascists and then like you know I'm gonna give that up i don't want to be a fascist anymore let's just be former fascists this is interesting reporting from FGT. So when they say fascist does it mean he was a member of the Italian Fascisti Party? The group that formed in the late 20s or the mid-20s? It's just a dog whistle. In Italy and became an actual political party, is that what they're... Yeah back when vaccines actually meant injecting a dead virus you know words change get with it Far right former fascist anti immigration party winning 33% of the vote

1:09:13 We need a change, this supporter says. It's not the France I knew, says this woman reacting to the result At a polling station in Dijon, three hours from the capital we found huge numbers voting battling for the soul of a deeply divided country. The people outside of Paris feel forgotten by the government. Emmanuel Macron is a Parisian. He lives in an ivory tower says this rival candidate disconnected from reality Tonight, France winning a major soccer match in Germany. But their superstar captain his father an immigrant warning extremists are at the door fans of the European tournament last week telling us inflation and immigration are to blame for this unprecedented post-war right wing lurch. I can understand why people are angry do you think people are forgetting that history? Oh yeah, they sure over

1:10:12 kind of spinning it in a way that suits them. The French far-right has been negative on the European Union and positive towards Putin Europe's future rests on the second vote next Sunday I like the right wing lurch we just lurch to the right everybody because you know what is that was sick I do with communist Russia So I mean, if you're a fascist you're super right winger that is, you know... But Russia's not communist anymore. It's like communist Russia? No it's fascists and somehow turned fascists that's interesting Now to the actual program How does that work I wonder? Yeah this is no... The news is... People just need to listen to podcasts because the news is not serving you! It's no good

1:11:00 So now let's look at what these guys are actually doing when it comes to the coveted climate change. Oh no! Well, the party's manifesto does not mention climate change or net zero targets It does mention the environment but through the angle of environmental norms which they argue penalize economic growth and you find the same language of so-called punitive norms that they have used in the past And the National Rally, they pledged and I quote to defend the quality of life of French people by rejecting all punitive ecology. Now those what you see there on this screen are some key energy related proposals that the National Rally has put forward.

1:11:44 Some of them, environmentalists fear could weaken France's climate ambitions. At least two of them the first one being to lower VAT on all energy products from 20% to 5.5%. So that includes fuel energy electricity gas and heating oil which in a way could be used as a tool to promote fossil fuels They also plan to invest in hydrogen, geothermal energy and also nuclear reactors. Now when it comes to hydrogen and geothermal those are two things that are currently in development but there is I mean nothing shows they could be deployed on a large scale in France at the moment. And nuclear reactors before they actually built nuclear reactors going to take years before we have them

1:12:33 And they also, more importantly, they also plan to end subsidies for wind power projects and even cancel all projects bearing in mind that solar and wind power make up 15% of France's power generation. They also help avoid 22 million tons of carbon dioxide every single year. These guys are on the right track! Shut down those stupid windmills and the solar, and get some nuke in there. And pander a little bit to the hydrogen crowd whatever... ...and lower the taxes 22%-5%. Yeah that will make France prosper! It's obvious. The world is upside down everyone has gone crazy. Everyone has gone crazy. That's nuts. Noticeably. I have a couple of Tik Tok uh...

San Francisco Pride Nudity and Public Indecency Controversy

A TikToker's viral rant highlights instances of public nudity and sexual acts in front of children during San Francisco Pride. The hosts criticize the lack of police intervention and the city's failure to enforce age restrictions in "fetish zones," linking the cultural climate to broader political shifts.

san francisco pride· nudism· public indecency· fetish zone· police· cancel culture· new york times

1:13:24 Well clips I want to get out of here. Oh good, so happy we just had our pride event in San Francisco which became very scandalous oh man the world round they were showing pictures like people took their children to see this? So let's play that there is a TikToker bitching and this is a tick talking about SF Pride and she's a...I believe she's a reporter or somebody that covers the event and here she here she's not happy Is this The Pride or The Pride Rant I think it's about the same. Oh, okay. Yeah go with pride rant. I don't know what oh that's oh that's oh That's interesting okay? Yeah pride rant Okay, I feel physically ill after spending the day at San Francisco Pride now I've been to quite a few pride events But this one was by far the most disturbing and it was because they were nudists there that were fully erect in front of children

1:14:17 Oh man! I'm shocked and horrified after experiencing this. Keep in mind that this is an all ages event, there were children present the fetish zone was an 18 plus area but there were no IDs being checked And again they're adults essentially having sex in public I am shocked! I've never experienced such a vulgar display of

1:15:02 I mean, I don't even know what to say in terms of this. I'm shocked and horrified and I don't think I'm ever going to cover Pride ever again after what I witnessed today It was the worst of the worst. It was bad Yeah, I agree it's it was shameful what I saw was just like what are you kidding? I thought some of it was maybe kind of amplified by some no it was pretty uh...it was covered locally and everyone's kind of like didn't know what to make of it But they're all too afraid to go stand up and say, hey stop this idiocy aren't they? Everyone's afraid of being cancelled. They had no morals. They had the cops there, the cops were walking by... There was I don't have this clip but that'll tell you what happened is woman

1:15:48 two lesbian police officers are walking down the thing and say, is this legal? And they said well you know under certain... This all depends on the circumstance. And they were making all these excuses for these guys walking around with a hard-on in front of a bunch of kids and then there's one little zone of fetish zone they called it where there was just a guy in this rubberized swimming pools, Yeah, yeah. And they're in there and the guy's on his stomach or on his back and there's a bunch of guys peeing on him Wait a minute! That's a clear violation you're not supposed to urinate in the pool Clear violation Sodom and Gomorrah Francisco is what it was It was gross and like somebody pointed out The gay community has gone all their way to push and push gay marriage

1:16:43 And I always had this friend that said, they're just gonna want more. That's not the gay community... No it is not! It is a fetish weirdo community that unfortunately is not being held to account. To account? Yeah that's exactly right and the police aren't doing it-it's almost like they're doing it on purpose and allowing it on purpose, and the police are turning a blind eye to it. The whole thing seems like a setup. You need to revolt over there! You should lead that! I don't care, it's good for the show. And so it is like a setup to make sure that Trump gets elected. There's something fishy about the whole thing... And he makes a twist! Okay all right go we're a broken country Mr President come save us

1:17:35 It's I mean, I'm actually kind of speechless about what they were doing. I come from Amsterdam No way no way this is insane in front of children And of course this is the San Francisco government that allowed this but and I think they just naively a lot of understanding The mechanism say this once every couple months get out well not there. Let me do East Bay I'm not anywhere near their didn't have a great here it spreading It's not spreading. Those two New York Times readers across the street, they're gonna start walking around... No there are New York Times readers all over the place! That's what I'm saying

1:18:17 And the thing is, you can map them because they have... The New York Times is always wrapped in a blue piece of plastic. So if you drive down the street after the delivery, you can see all their stooges that read The New York Times almost exclusively. They don't even read the local paper. They just read The New York Times. It's so sad. You do want to know more? Do you want to do more TikTok clips? Yeah, I got some good. Yeah. These are not about the gay thing but hold on. Talk to talk.

CHAPTER 21 / 44 Discussion

Gaza Conflict Safe Zones and Post-War Governance

Israeli airstrikes in designated "safe zones" like Al-Mawassi and heavy fighting in Khan Yunis continue as the IDF claims to have destroyed Hamas's functional military structure. Analysts discuss the likelihood of a long-term Israeli security occupation and the potential for a "bottom-up" governing structure involving local clans.

gaza· khan yunis· al-mawassi· idf· hamas· netanyahu· palestinian authority

1:23:30 You wanna... let me start with my safe zone clips from Gaza. Here we go. An Israeli airstrike killed 12 Palestinians in al-Mawassi on Tuesday despite the fact that it has been designated as a safe zone by Israel These Palestinians have been fleeing from the eastern part of Khan Yunis in droves continuing overnight they've described there's been an intense bombardment around Khan Yunis some of the heaviest fighting the second biggest city in the Gaza Strip since Israeli troops withdrew there in early April. There's one hospital source that said shelling killed at least eight people and people have been really heading west, some to other parts of Khan Yunus

1:24:13 and many more to this area which the Israeli military has declared a safe zone along the coast, the Al-Mawasi area. It's about 14 kilometers long but of course people are struggling to find space there The reason that Khan Yunis had become so crowded after it was largely left in ruins following that months long Israeli military offensive there against what the Israeli military said was a stronghold of Hamas earlier in the war This is starting to bum me out man This is, there stop. And this is just the military industrial complex, let's just do more, lets keep more war going on Keep it in the news BBC good job everybody I'm sure you have some clips Well I have NTD because the BBC is terrible NTD is just

1:25:06 amateurish, but they got better analysis. This is just an... They brought an analyst on to talk about some of the Gaza stuff and I think it's at least giving us some insight although you know I don't even believe that last one you played, I don't even believe any of this these reports out of Gaza we can't trust any of it on either side It's all propaganda Earlier we spoke with David Wormser, Middle East Affairs Analyst at the Center for Security Policy about where things currently stand in the Israel-Hamas war. David Wormser thank you so much for joining us great to have you back on this show Now, the IDF says that over 1,000 terrorists have been killed in Rafa. These are ones that they know—this doesn't include ones that are buried in the rubble. Given that where do things currently stand in terms of the Israel-Hamas war? Yeah good question I think I think that Israel has essentially now destroyed the functional military structure of Hamas

1:26:04 Namely, they can't really operate as significant units against Israel. But what they can do is they break down into little squads that suddenly show up. They could do terrorist attacks. They may still be able to launch missiles here and there, very few but some. Mostly short range because they're smaller. They may have a very limited ability to continue to produce a few missiles here and there so the Israelis I think have more or less shut down this as a problem from October 7th levels what they still face though is that they need to keep Gaza quite restricted which means they need to keep the border area between Egypt

1:26:46 and Gaza under their control so that new... because Hamas still exists as an organization, it still has enough territory and enough people who would join it that they can reconstitute its force very rapidly within a few months or year. And the know-how is there. So, the Israelis really have to constrict what goes in and controls very carefully that it can't be used to build weapons, build new tunnels and they have to maintain security control over the area which means they have to able go anywhere in that territory at any time to arrest somebody, to take down a tunnel that's starting to built, missile factory that comes... so It's now small insurgency warfare that Israel faces

1:27:30 I think the story that's built around it, whether it's the BBC's version or NTD's version is kind of irrelevant. The idea is annihilate everything Egypt may even want to open the gate but now Israel is like no That's under our control. We're not gonna let anybody out They're just going to flatten it and everybody in it because there's no way if you have three insurgents, you got more tunnels They're gonna light up more more more stuff that's a never-ending Situation its pathetic It's really it's sad. It's just like this well You got two Pete this is the Hatfields and the McCoys

1:28:10 They hate each other. Isaac and Ishmael, I mean it goes back a long way! Yeah it keeps going back It's been around since I was kid I remember this going on. Yes, Isaac and Ishmael days yes When I was a kid during Ishmael's era Yeah, so it's almost ludicrous to cover it. But let's play part two of these. On that note Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has indicated privately that he could accept involvement by the Palestinian Authority in a post-war Gaza now this is according to a report Given that, what are the likely next steps for Israel here?

1:28:55 increasingly hostile. They never really had peace with the Palestinian Authority, which is mostly now in the West Bank and Judea and Samaria. So the Israelis I don't think trust that not to produce another threatening force that arises in Gaza so I don't think they can really let them in on that level The second thing is I don't think they really want to reward Hamas for doing this war by essentially creating a new Palestinian government But most importantly, I think the Israelis feel they need to maintain security control over the territory. So I don't believe that really the Palestinian Authority is in the cards. The Israelis much would prefer to work with local powers in the area – families, clans, tribes – more traditional structures and create a very bottom-up governing structure that eventually has more and more power

1:29:53 but at the beginning is really under their direct occupation. You know, when October 7th happened which of course has the moniker October 7 to make it sound like September 11 They were right. It was a false flag, Netanyahu and whoever else is involved in the military industrial complex that met the defense industrial base let it happen they knew that something could happen they knew there were teaming up they wanted this they want you know Jared Kushner wants his condos are his ocean view villas the golf course everything

CHAPTER 22 / 44 Discussion

Hezbollah Tensions and West Bank Land Seizures

Tensions escalate on the Israel-Lebanon border as Defense Minister Yoav Gallant warns of readiness for war with Hezbollah. Simultaneously, settlement tracking groups report the largest Israeli seizure of West Bank land in over three decades, totaling nearly five square miles.

hezbollah· lebanon· yoav gallant· west bank· land seizure· shejahiya· ceasefire

1:30:30 This was a setup. They want it, they want and they want war in the Middle East. They want war, war, war. That's why AIPAC is funded by the defense contractors. They just want more money with war and now let's go to Hezbollah please because those guys are different caliber than Hamas. It comes as Hezbollah and Israeli officials have traded threats of annihilation in recent weeks. But Israel, and US sources telling ABC News both Hezbollah and Israel have essentially agreed to broad parameters of a U.S.-brokered deal that would stave off a war. An agreement Hezbollah said it cannot sign until there's a ceasefire in Gaza

1:31:29 But in Gaza, no signs of a truce. Israel is in its sixth day of the raid in the north, fighting visible from nearby Israeli villages. We can hear the small arms fire now taking place in Shejahiya. There's a battle going on there. And in the southern part of the Gaza Strip, the IDF ordering mass evacuations in the eastern part of Khan Yunis. An estimated 250 thousand Gazans impacted women and children seem piled into carts many sleeping in the streets. Osmahan breaking down from the fear and uncertainty saying, I don't think it will remain safe. We have been displaced multiple times with the ceasefire talks are creaking ahead one of the main sticking points as we understand it is that Hamas wants a full withdrawal of Israeli troops but an Israeli official telling me today that they intend to hold parts of the Gaza Strip for months. Yeah just keep it going this good send more stuff over there here's the NTD version of his Bala report

1:32:29 In Lebanon, an Israeli strike killed a senior Hezbollah commander on Wednesday morning. Israel's defense minister says this about the escalating tensions in Lebanon. We are striking Hezbollah very hard every day and we will also reach a state of full readiness We prefer an arrangement, but if reality forces us we will know how to fight. And in the West Bank four Gazans have been laid to rest after they were killed in an Israeli strike on Tuesday The Israeli army says the strike hit terrorists hiding in the area Also in the West Bank a settlement tracking group on Wednesday said that Israel approved the largest seizure of land in over three decades almost five square miles That's bigger than 2,000 football fields combined

Sudan Famine and Iranian Presidential Runoff

The United Nations warns of imminent famine in Sudan affecting 25 million people. In Iran, moderate candidate Massoud Pezeshkian and hardliner Saeed Jalili head to a presidential runoff, with the hosts questioning the authenticity of news reports using potential AI-generated voices.

sudan· famine· united nations· iran· massoud pezeshkian· saeed jalili· ai voice

1:33:14 So once we have Lebanon, which is of course Hezbollah. Then we only have a couple more on the West Clark 7. Sudan was always on the list And there's news from Sudan. Here is my Africa clip. The UN also says starvation is being used as a weapon of war in Sudan. It's been warning of an imminent famine with 25 million people urgently needing humanitarian assistance A senior UN official told the BBC that hundreds of millions of dollars worth of aid had been lost Yes, same script as Gaza Whatever happened to them dying of hunger in Gaza? That left the scene Remember that

1:34:14 The famine. Yeah, they were starving to death that's gone and then Iran we don't really know much about the new public. Curiously it is going but also as the piers gone yeah that thing's totally gone and the pier was to keep the famine from happening supposedly. Yeah well famines over so it's all good how does that work? So Iran We got a new puppet incoming and there's a runoff so we'll see. You know, I'm... We don't know much about the- about the new guy." We'll find out. This is Reuters, tell me they're not using AI voices in this short clip? To Iran where after an election campaign dominated by hardliners moderate presidential hopeful Massoud Pazeshkian has made it into a runoff the 69 year old was up against candidates who more closely reflect the fiercely anti-western stance of supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei

1:35:14 Pazesh Kian narrowly beat hardliner Saeed Jalili for first place, and they now go to a runoff this Friday. I think that's AI! Well, the pronunciation of Hamenei was good. It was awfully good for AI. I mean she has a flat monotone style that sounds very much like AI. She should probably find some other work Then we have the final theater which is Ukraine Of course that continues Dead bodies everywhere which we never see Don't show that on the news You can't do that

CHAPTER 24 / 44 Discussion

Putin on Trump's Ukraine Peace Proposal

Russian President Vladimir Putin stated he takes Donald Trump's claims about stopping the war in Ukraine seriously and supports the sincerity of the proposal. The hosts note that mainstream media interpreted these comments as a formal endorsement of Trump.

vladimir putin· donald trump· ukraine· peace treaty· endorsement· russia· diplomacy

1:35:53 Putin made a statement about the possibility of Trump becoming president again. You know, the fact that Mr Trump as a presidential candidate says that he's ready and wants to stop the war in Ukraine we take that very seriously I haven't seen his ideas on how exactly is going to do that and that is the key question But I have no doubt that he says that sincerely and we support that. Yeah, Putin's open! He's open That was read by the mainstream media as PUTIN ENDORSES TRUMP Really? No, I didn't get that one Somehow now that means Putin is endorsing Trump The Russians... those damn Russians Makes nothing but sense

CHAPTER 25 / 44 Discussion

New York Times Podcast Paywall Strategy

The New York Times is moving its hit podcasts, including "The Daily" and "Serial," behind a subscriber paywall while continuing to run advertisements. The hosts argue this strategy will lead to a loss of cultural relevance, comparing it to Howard Stern's move to SiriusXM.

new york times· the daily· serial· paywall· podcasting· howard stern· joe rogan

1:36:44 And with that happy news, I'd like to thank you for your courage. Say in the morning to you the man who put the sea and Biden in a coma say hello to my friend on the other end D1 The Only Mr John C DeVorek! There we go Yeah in the morning to you Mr Adam Curry also in the morning to all ships of sea boots on the ground feet in the air subs in the water and all the dames and knights out there In the morning to the trolls and the troll... Yeah, it's not surprising that we're a little bit lower. It is of course 4th of July weekend happy birthday America still unbelievably We have 1655 trolls in the troll room let me see what we have when we have on the last reasonable for Thursday the last Thursday we had 1657 so were only two down Wow That's pretty good

1:37:39 Now I think about it. Well, i'm glad to see y'all here celebrating with us trolls! Thank you and thank you to Darren O'Neill for doing the pre-stream that was quite nice that he got everybody ready for the big show This is our value for value proposition You can listen to it like the trolls are doing and contribute by trolling along They are usually quite helpful they help us out with real-time fact checking which is usually ignored but you know one line there's all kinds of good stuff comes through. You can join them at trollroom.io, which is our brand new interface to the No Agenda stream which is on 24 hours a day or you can use a modern podcast app what you can find it podcastapps.com go and pick one up like Podcast Guru I've been using that as my daily driver for awhile I really like it and yeah you'll get no

1:38:33 People sometimes send me screenshots and they have like the Apple podcast app, and then somebody who's Podverse or Fountain or Podcast Guru. And you'll see that the modern podcast apps notify you within 90 seconds of us publishing it between 15 minutes and two to three hours before any of those legacy apps actually notify you And they could join in, by the way. They're just too arrogant like we're Apple We can't be a part of your system. Yeah No it's not invented here syndrome. NIMBY Exactly no that's not in my backyard yeah well same thing It's not their backyard yeah well if we are in their backyard were breathing down their neck podcastapps.com

1:39:23 You know, the New York Times is now... new strategy for their podcast. New strategy! We're going to keep the ads but we're now also going to put it behind a paywall But they are going to drop the podcast It's just gonna be ads No they've uh They are now putting serial and check it out The Daily That's their daily news podcast Yeah that's there big hit They are gonna put it behind the paywall Well, that's dumb. Yes! It's the stupid... They don't realize they don't get it. That just like Howard Stern and I would say to agree Joe Rogan when he went behind the Spotify paywall you do lose some relevance. Howard Stern really lost relevance altogether. I think Joe was good at losing money but okay fine but that just leaves us out here to entertain the plebs

1:40:16 Which is fine by me, we just pick up more because you can't have 20 subscriptions to all your favorite podcasts. They're just not going to work. People can't even buy fireworks this year to light off willy-nilly so they're not gonna do that I think it's a fundamental mistake They should use that as a loss leader to draw people in and give them special deals on Wordle It's not like people subscribe for the news. You're dead right if you were producing it, which you're not nope That's exactly what you'd do you would be would have it as a it's not even a loss leader? You can run ads in it they do they can make money

1:40:57 Kind of. They have an advertising department that sells ads at the newspaper, you can bundle it with a podcast ad so they wouldn't even be a loss leader. So the idea of putting it behind a paywall is idiotic! What's the point? And they're gonna keep running the ads behind the paywall can you believe it?! There ya go...so now your going to get less listenership and the advertisers are gonna say what- no I'm not- No. The meetings they're gonna have to have with the advertisers. Well, you're not quite getting the reach you used to when you were a boat before we went behind the paywall Yeah but these are qualified New York Times listeners Oh! The ones that urinate on each other in San Francisco in the pool? Yeah they're buyers They got money They got lots of money They got money to piss away I tell ya Oooooohhhhhh Yeah I know...I did it

CHAPTER 26 / 44 Discussion

Value for Value Model and Courtney Kocak Article

An article by Courtney Kocak in Descript explores the "Value for Value" monetization model, crediting Adam Curry but also suggesting Kevin Kelly's "1000 True Fans" as a catalyst. The hosts defend their role in pioneering the model and distinguish it from subscription platforms like Patreon.

courtney kocak· descript· value for value· adam curry· kevin kelly· 1000 true fans· patreon

1:41:53 Instead, we hate meetings. We don't meet with each other. There was a big article about Value for Value which is quite nice. Oh yeah? Where was this? It was... let me see.. it's one thing I didn't like about this article Let me see if i can find real quick for you Who wrote this thing? Did they call you and get some bad comment? Nope! No they called other people of course. They never called me Descript, well Descript is actually a very successful editing program. Descript they use AI you know and they had this whole article what is value for value podcast monetization and should you do it? And so the who wrote this article this was written by Courtney Kokak oh she's pretty successful podcaster

1:42:59 And talks about time, talent and treasure. Value for value as listeners to reciprocate the value they receive from a podcast with time, talent or treasure time that they even use are they use our catchphrases? So she obviously gave us a big plug in that thing didn't she? In their write up She did. She did. OK, well I'm not crediting Adam Curry. I can't it didn't say John C. Dvorak Podcasting's inventor. He has some crush on you with pioneering value for value through his show, his... His show. I'm not even in the picture anymore The show has thrived on direct audience support for over 15 years It's almost 17 without any advertising So Curry is a big proponent and success story for the audience support so what was this woman's name?

1:43:53 Uh, Courtney...Courtney Kocak. But- Courtney Kopack? Kokaks. K-O-K-A-K. C-O-C-A-K. But here's the part that I didn't like. Um... Let me see, I'm going down here. No, I must have skipped over it. The origins! Yeah okay the ori- Okay. BUT! BUT! Adam Curry isn't the sole mastermind behind Value for Value

1:44:29 This is obviously where they should have brought in John C. Dvorak, nope! Many people believe founding Wire editor Kevin Kelly's seminal blog post 1000 True Fans was the catalyst for Value For Value What? Let me go look at this blog post when was this posted This blog post was well it was posted in 2008 so it was around the same time Although we were earlier with our value for you probably lifted it from us. I know, I think... No no no, I didn't like that! I didn't like that just like and he was Kelly is named Courtney Courtney Kochak? Let's see what she's about there's a link here Courtney Kochak founder and host of podcast Bestie

1:45:22 Podcast what? Podcast bestie. You know, like she's my bestie. John you're my podcast bestie! Yes Los Angeles based writer podcaster and comedian Oh another comedian with a podcast She does do her podcasts value for value though I'll give her that Good good for her Yeah she's your John she's your podcast bestie You're underwhelmed I hate her. You don't actually hate anybody? I do, I hate her! She's a phony that's the way I see it Well i think its despicable because if anyone had spoken to me I would of course said we and our We pioneered created and developed the name certainly the name The idea also...we have a whole genesis for it It was an accidental discovery almost like dynamite

1:46:27 or nitroglycerin. And I would have said our podcast! I never, I never would let that dangle out there... That's just rude which also means she probably has never listened I'm guessing she's never listened to the podcast and she just, I don't know where she got you know the idea that it's a solo. She makes it sound like a solo podcast. Yeah, it's not right sometimes it is but generally speaking... It's not right! I mean the only thing that would have made only worse if she'd added Kara Swisher into the mix That would have made it worse? She didn't do that luckily So for those of you who have read that article and tuned in here, let's show you how it really works because we have actual true value for values. It is not Patreon. Patreon is not value for value. That's levels and subscriptions. No! We leave it up to people to send us whatever they think the show was worth and however they want to contribute back value

CDC Dengue Fever Warning and Mosquito Projects

The CDC issued a warning regarding a surge in dengue fever cases in the Americas and Florida. The hosts link the outbreak to the release of millions of genetically modified mosquitoes by the UK-based company Oxitec, a project funded by the Bill Gates Foundation.

cdc· dengue fever· florida· bill gates· oxitec· genetically modified mosquitoes· climate change

2:00:08 Noahjinthedonations.com This is kind of interesting Do you remember that I talked to my pals about the testing industrial complex? Health officials. Yeah, your testing buddies? Yeah my testing buddies and do you remember what I was like okay well is it bird flu is this all gonna be bird flu and they said no do you remember what they did say? No I don't remember what they did say What they did say is that the CDC was hyping dengue fever

2:01:00 But no, yes right and yes dengue was mentioned. And that's when I came up with my aspirin anecdote Yes don't take aspirin if you have dengue fever well Your anecdote is more relevant than ever. And a new warning from the CDC, there's been a surge of dengue fever around the world and that's increasing the risk of it spreading here in the US. Global cases of the mosquito-borne disease hit record numbers this year countries in the Americas are reporting twice as many cases then in all of 2023 and now health officials in Florida are urging the public... Twice as many twice is it go from one to two if you go from four to eight We don't know but what did it go for 1,000 2,000? I mean twice as many meaningless urging John didn't you hear the beginning its surging. It's surging I just love that this obvious setup was known to us two weeks ago and

2:02:00 Oh no, the CDC is going to come out with dengue fever and thank you CBS. Countries in the Americas are reporting twice as many cases than in all of 2023 and now health officials in Florida are urging the public to take extra precautions like wearing bug spray and dumping outstanding water That's interesting. I'll come back to that in a moment after we talked her to sit to dr Salene Gowder me now is the editor-at-large for public health at KFF and CBS News medical contributor, Dr. Saline gounder always great seeing you doctor So what do we know about how dengue fever is spreading? And what are some of the potential risks associated with this virus? Oh

2:02:41 Dengue fever spreads by mosquito bites and part of what we're seeing now is with climate change, with increasing areas that are hot humid which are friendly to mosquitoes where mosquitoes breed. We're seeing more transmission of dengue and so we've seen a huge outbreak in better homes, better housing where you have screened windows. You have air conditioning and so you have less exposure to mosquitoes in your home but this is not a benign illness people can develop very high fevers headaches vomiting shock where your blood pressure drops dramatically and without treatment about 15 percent of people who get dengue can die

2:03:37 Very interesting, it's blamed on of course climate change. We all knew that climate change will be responsible for the next pandemic...plan-demic But I just want to take us because they mentioned Florida the Gulf Coast Florida Florida Florida the Gulf Coast Florida Southern part of Texas, Florida Hmm my memory does go back at least two years 2022 Since 2021, UK-based biotech company Oxitec has released millions of genetically modified male Aedes aegypti mosquitoes in the Florida Keys. Remember that? Yeah! No one ever questions that. It's a Bill Gates project. It sure is no one ever questions that nonsense they did I thought that was supposed to stop mosquitoes from spreading things like dengue fever That was the idea wasn't it? Yep, how'd that work out Bill Gates?

Delta Flight Food Contamination Incident

A Delta flight from Detroit to Amsterdam was forced to divert to New York after a dozen passengers became ill from eating mold-contaminated chicken. The hosts express skepticism regarding the speed at which the food poisoning symptoms allegedly appeared.

2:04:33 subjected the entire Gulf Coast population to dengue fever. Don't take aspirin! How do you know when you have dengue and shouldn't take aspirin? You have to be tested Oh yeah I love it we got testing, testing Another thing you should never do, and I'd love to hear your input on this John. You should never eat the plane on the food... The food on the plane. No, you shouldn't eat the plane ever. You should definitely not eat the plane! Delta 136 can you confirm that none of the pilots ate any of their food? It was not a great start to the holiday for passengers on Delta Flight 136 from Detroit to Amsterdam they ended up in New York early this morning after at least a dozen people got sick from eating chicken apparently contaminated with mold

2:05:24 Delta says it sincerely apologizes for that incident. Dude, that could have been me! Could've been me I never eat chicken on the plane. I don't like it. 12 people got food poisoning and they had to go back. Oh well we better go back People are puking all over the place It's horrible Well that was pretty fast acting Oh, interesting. You don't think it would happen that fast? No! Fast acting is not caused by... Well a mold I don't know just very fast acting food poisoning usually takes awhile and the only time i really got sick in the last 20-30 years was from a flight back from Mexico City. I was eating fine in Mexico and then on the flight back I had some spoiled fruit

Boeing Starliner Delays and Astronaut Safety

The Boeing Starliner mission to the International Space Station has been extended indefinitely due to helium leaks and propulsion system issues. Astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams remain in orbit while NASA evaluates the spacecraft's battery autonomy and return safety.

boeing· starliner· nasa· iss· butch wilmore· suni williams· helium leak

2:06:18 Oh no. It was a mistake, yeah I always have some travel advice it could be a tip of the day. Save it! I know what it is and its great tip of the day and I think you should save it This is a very... I'll save it. That will be today's tip of the day, at the end of this show and it will be a travel tip. Traveler's Tip Of The Day exactly Now there was no word whether this united or this Delta flight was a Boeing or not doesn't matter we got plenty of Boeing problems Breaking news to tell you about the Federal Aviation Administration investigating after United Airlines flight returned to O'Hare shortly after takeoff today. United Flight 343 had been heading for San Francisco, but the Boeing 737 started experiencing issues with cabin pressure nobody got hurt. The plane landed safely back at O'Hare around noon

2:07:02 Of course, no actual news that the mask drop was a depressurization event. You know when they don't want to tell us anything but that doesn't really matter because the best Boeing news has got to be the astronauts in space have you been so have you been following? You're right this is yeah and I'm actually remiss for not having a clip of it You know what's gonna well The Starliner deed is a capsule that can dock with the International Space Station and said to become a sort of space taxi if you will to bring astronauts up there into the ISS now back in 2014 NASA actually ordered two of those vehicles both to Boeing and SpaceX And the idea was to be able to really alternate flights between both companies now SpaceX

2:07:49 as usual, delivered very quickly with the Crew Dragon. It's been operational for four years now but Boeing's program fell behind in a big way and finally on June 5th indeed the Starliner was able to take off from Florida The goal of this first mission was really to demonstrate that this vehicle created by Boeing was safe and capable of bringing astronauts up there On board you have two astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suri Williams The test was indeed supposed to last about a week and it has been extended due to a slow helium leak in the spacecraft propulsion system. Now, NASA and Boeing actually knew about this leak before takeoff but for some reason I don't know how but they initially believed it wouldn't affect the test mission and the astronaut safety. And we don't know actually when either of them are going be able to come back here to planet Earth? That's right! It sounds quite incredible since June 6th they've already changed twice the date of their return to Earth so at first

2:08:45 said they could return by the end of, by mid-July. But then later NASA's program boss Steve Stich said that he was verifying that Starliner batteries could have a little bit more autonomy and perhaps three months' autonomy and this is what prompted people to think that you know NASA wasn't ruling out their return by the end of August. And for now, NASA and Boeing says there's absolutely no issue here but during the press conference many journalists were quite skeptical of this and the reason why is because they say that you know the space division of Boeing can't be completely isolated from the rest of its commercial activities and mainly linked to all of the problems it has had with its airliner specifically very recently the loss of a door in mid-flight

2:09:28 This is an epic, epic fail for Boeing. That's really bad Your thoughts? They're gonna have to apologize and get the Russians to take these guys home Why not Musk why can't Musk... I think if Musk well for one thing Musk doesn't have just spare rockets sitting around that he could just launch up there The Russians do He might But I think must shouldn't do it. I think he should make him have the Russians do it to show The idiotic dependency that we have on Russia for the space program Let me ask you this so, you know Boeing is in such deep water or as my parents used to say Kim Shea Here's a quick clip just just bring us up to speed

DOJ Fraud Charges Against Boeing

The U.S. Justice Department is set to criminally charge Boeing with fraud related to two fatal 737 Max crashes. A potential guilty plea could jeopardize Boeing's ability to secure lucrative government and military contracts, leading to speculation about Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos acquiring parts of the company.

boeing· department of justice· fraud· 737 max· elon musk· spacex· government contracts

2:10:17 The US Justice Department will this week criminally charge Boeing with fraud over two fatal crashes. So US authorities are asking the planemaker to plead guilty or take the risk of going to trial. And Boeing has until the end of this week to decide, This comes at a particularly bad time for Boeing right? Absolutely! The plane makers already engulfed in crisis over its safety record and a guilty plea could affect its ability to enter into government contracts and business with the U S military makes up a significant chunk of its revenues. I can't help but think

2:10:56 You know, initially we're like hey you know these guys that haven't paid their representatives they haven't put enough money in the kitty. Like how much money you make man? You make 33 million dollars! Thirty three million dollars really?! You've only donated one million the whole company to our campaigns what if they just take this one step further why wouldn't they take the highly compromised likely one of the largest military contractors for the United States Elon Musk Give the space stuff to him, which he already has half of the business if not more and why not let Elon buy Spirit Aerosystems. Have him build planes take it away from Boeing they seem like they're just... Boeing can't win someone else should be building these planes and isn't spirit putting together the bodies in a lot of a lot of the important... Why don't you go one step further? Okay by Boeing

2:11:53 Give Boeing to Elon Musk! But that's, it may be so corrupted he could just buy the pieces out of it. What's the stock? Is it crap? No the stock is held up actually. Interesting... I mean it's not what it should be but its held up It's not like collapsed. But it seems to me that someone else has to- this isn't- it's too sick and no one trusts it And all these bad stories, anything that happens in aviation now is one of two things. Boeing or DEI? Both of which might not be true... Or both! But this might not even be true in every single case but thats beside the point I think we need something and Elon needs it he needs it Now if I were him I'd think differently than you I'll be like okay first we're going to take away all the Boeing space business

2:12:50 What's that thing called? What is his ISS shuttle rocket, what is that thing called? Whatever it is. I can't remember. He was also selling the mini Starlink now have you gotten...I've been getting ads from him for that The mini Starlink is a Starlink internet satellite that you could put in a backpack take anywhere You have to buy it for like... Yeah, that's a pretty phenomenal technology. I know where he stumbled onto it. 600? Well, it's all military! It's the military technology. Well first of all the government cannot have one vendor. No they'll throw someone else in there for the make- That's a single point of failure so they have to have an alternative and so Boeing is supposed to be the alternative if not Boeing who would it be? Well, okay how about Bezos? Where's Bezos in the mix? Someone's got to start building planes There's no

European Tariffs on Chinese E-Commerce Apps

European regulators are considering ending duty-free exemptions for low-cost goods from Chinese apps like Temu and AliExpress. The hosts discuss reports from Grizzly Research labeling these platforms as "cleverly hidden spyware" and a threat to Western economic interests.

temu· aliexpress· pdd holdings· grizzly research· spyware· tariffs· e-commerce

2:13:47 No faith, no trust in what Boeing's doing anymore. China definitely has them. That's why I'm thinking Musk. Speaking of China... Let me see if i can find it here. T-Mu is under attack No, Timu and the other operation. They're all in it and so is Aliexpress Yes And then Europe they're under attack in Europe because the Europeans are letting this stuff flow anything under 150 bucks Is flowing into Europe duty-free? And if Europeans are looking at this flood of crap that's coming in and by the way

2:14:33 I recommended AliExpress as a cool thing, but do not buy any computer-related products from them at all ever. So there's these reports out there from outfits like grizzlyreports.com that say... and this is basically the TikTok strategy We believe PDD is a dying fraudulent company It's shopping app TMEU is cleverly hidden spyware that poses an urgent security threat to US national interests Anything that China does that beats us, hello Amazon? They just say oh national security risk. Security threat. Yeah it's spying on you all these apps are spying on you You can't get into the Apple App Store if they're truly... Try to get more spying than Google does Right Or Microsoft for that matter And then I read this about statement from this grisly research

2:15:28 We use our research and on-the-ground due diligence capacities to consult on a range of M&A transactions and structured investments. Our ability to sniff out what others are trying to hide is valued by many who are risking their own capital. We serve institutional clients including family offices, hedge funds investment banks and operating companies." Please! That's not... you're not reporting? You're shorting. Ooh there you go Not reporting your shorting But I think something has to happen. Something has to happen with Boeing, and the trick is in the Spirit Airlines. Maybe Lockheed can end up owning them? Hmm. Lockheed used to have experience in... If you remember the L-1011 or some of their other jets they used to have? Yeah

Chinese Illegal Immigration and Telegram Scripts

An investigation by The Daily Caller revealed a Telegram group providing detailed instructions and asylum scripts for Chinese nationals crossing the U.S. southern border illegally. The discovery of a discarded smartphone near San Diego highlighted the organized nature of the migration, raising concerns about potential espionage.

2:16:17 They're pretty good products. The L-1011 was a great three engine jet with dynamite. Was it Trident? I don't remember that one. Yeah, it was a Trident. It's a 70s airplane? Don't really think 80s. Listen, what are you talking about China? I got an immigrant phone story that I want to get out of the way which i always thought was screwy never gotten into mainstream media but this kind of...kind of interesting. From finding gaps in the US border wall to explaining how to apply for asylum inside the U.S., an online network helping Chinese immigrants cross into the us illegally is coming to light all of this discovered through a single smartphone left behind at the border NTD's Juliet Song has details

2:17:00 a telegram group chat that contributes to the border crisis. It gives detailed instructions on how to cross the southern border and scripts for what to say when applying for asylum, its owner claims to be a cyber police officer in China. Philip Linzyki is an investigative reporter at The Daily Caller he broke this story. And it also acts as a hub for documents detailing specific Chinese illegal immigration paths to the United States. It also contains documents that show as many as 15 border wall crossing points into the U.S., 12 of which are in California." It started when he got a tip from a San Diego resident,

2:17:50 Who lives about 50 miles to the east of San Diego near Hukoumba Hot Springs. And he found a Chinese illegal immigrants cell phone that had been discarded on the US side of the border. Can you imagine? You're a Chinese immigrant, you get the cell phone which by the way is a Soros trick who use it for years getting people out of Turkey into Europe with everything you needed. With the maps... Everything was in it so it's not like some major league new thing. Your Chinese immigrant and you come in here like you're in California like oh man almost like hello Lin! Hello Lin this your cousin Yin

2:18:36 They're peeing on each other here, man. Get me out of here! This was a mistake! Oh goodness... What's in part two here? The owner of the phone had been getting information from a telegram group chat called the American Self-Guided Tour. Furthermore The documents contain information that we can think of as scripts or templates for Chinese illegal immigrants to use in order to answer questions from border patrol agents and obtain asylum. The discovery comes as illegal Chinese migrants continue to flood the southern border eight months into fiscal year 2024, over 80 thousand had crossed into the southern border

2:19:26 exceeding the total from last year. That's according to CBP data, a large number of them are military age adult men raising concerns among some US officials that they could engage in espionage activities for Beijing back to the telegram chat its owner Jack W claims to be a cyber police officer in China NTD can't independently confirm Jack W's identity. It is unclear if he is backed by the Chinese state, though he does appear to toe the Communist Party line. He bans and censors accounts that express opinions contrary to the Chinese Communist Party. After The Daily Caller article came out someone posted it in a group chat. The owner then penned a message banning future political discussions

2:20:15 Well, I'm a little disappointed in this of course daily call or they're just reporting on the report. But this is obviously...this is particularly when you bring in the military-aged men! This is a setup for Trump with his big beautiful ships and submarines and bases as we mount a phony baloney nonviolent war, nonkinetic war against China which of course will be tariffs and you know the stuff that he loves doing but this is just set up. This is just set up, we need evil China believe me these Chinese are smart they're not coming there what am I doing here in California? They think they've come to America no no no well maybe they can leave California go to Austin Well it's their difference! It's the same people

Japan's New Currency Design and Cashless Push

Japan has introduced its first new banknote designs in 20 years, featuring 3D holographic technology to prevent counterfeiting. Despite the government's push for 80% cashless payments, the rollout faces hurdles as only 20% of the country's ubiquitous vending machines can currently accept the new bills.

2:21:08 I want to stay in... Well, that's because Californians went to Austin. Correct! I'd like to stay in the region. Uh, Ewan Horowitz... Horwich? Horwitz. DH Unplugged on Wednesday nights Tuesday nights, I'm sorry. Tuesday nights? Yeah, Tuesday night. I always listen to it on Wednesdays that why. Tuesday nights. Uh, I try to listen almost every single week It's fun. It's a good show. If you wanted keep up with your finances without really You know, having to know much. It's good. Yes perfect for you. Yes it is! It's perfect for people like me dhunplugged.com

2:21:44 So you guys have been tracking the yen and this, uh... You know they banged it down to 150 and now it's well we can't have a go over 160. And I just looked at 161.50. Oh god! That means Toyotas are cheap! But this next report made me think is this something? Do they need to print money? Do they need to print money, to get themselves out of this? I mean what is the actual problem they have. Well play the report and maybe i can think of something. Well... The report is kind of a payoff depending on your answer! No, I don't think printing money would help that would make it worse. Well there making it worse

2:22:30 Japanese central bank officials breaking out the top hat and tails for a special occasion, the country's first new cash design in 20 years. The government has begun sending new 10,000, 5,000 and 1,000 yen bills into circulation with 7.5 billion new notes due out by next March. Featuring historical champions of Japanese capitalism female empowerment and scientific achievement, the bills have some state-of-the art science of their own 3D holographic portraits that turn their heads depending on the viewer's angle. They packed a lot of technology into this note to fight counterfeiting, it is quite amazing! The rollout though comes with complications Japan's retail economy is not only more cash-based than some of its developed peers It also highly automated

2:23:22 While 90% of ATMs, train ticket booths and retail registers can accept the new bills only about 20 percent of the country's ubiquitous vending machines can. Roughly half the country's restaurants will need to upgrade their automatic tills An extra headache for owners already struggling with inflation. My bills are already going up every month, upgrading the payment machine has no real impact on sales so it's only negative for us It is a very difficult situation As fancy as the new notes are the government would like them to take smaller role in the country economy

2:23:58 Aiming for 80% cashless payments to boost productivity While digital payments have nearly tripled in Japan over the past decade They still make up less than 40 percent of consumer spending. I don't know what the strategy is, but they literally printed money Yeah What is that about? Well, everybody has to get... it was obviously a reaction to counterfeiting. And I guess the money's plastic. I don't know nobody said in that report whether it was plastic or not but I'm guessing it's plastic. It looks plastic for sure. Yeah some new plastic money

2:24:36 Well, that's inflationary. Everywhere in the world but us is using plastic now including Canada But that's inflationary by definition right? They print more money. They're supposed to bring money off out of circulation and substitute with the new money That wasn't in the report There's a continual process in all countries of grabbing money from the banks and swapping it out for new money And it's not necessarily inflationary if they If you if the bank gives you a hundred and give them 100 back it doesn't seem to be inflationary that way. Yeah, but that wasn't in the report so I don't know...I don't know But that's what this is where usually works Meanwhile Bolivia is in a glut... What was missing from your analysis is the fact they're promoting this cashless stuff when Japanese like most Asians Don't like the idea

Bolivia Lifts Cryptocurrency Ban Amid Dollar Shortage

Bolivia has lifted its decade-old ban on cryptocurrency transactions to mitigate a severe shortage of U.S. dollars. President Luis Arce's administration aims to modernize the payment system as the country's foreign currency reserves have plummeted due to cratering gas exports.

bolivia· luis arce· bitcoin· cryptocurrency· dollar shortage· lithium· natural gas

2:25:26 Well, no that was in the report. I don't know how to analyze it That's why i asked you and set you up as one of the experts. I just don't think cashless is a great idea No! It's good for certain things So Bolivia has a problem They have a lot of climate change or unfriendly stuff for climate change they have gas and people can't give it away I don't know much about Bolivia, but because they have no one's buying their gas. They have a lack of dollars

2:26:05 And now the Bolivian government has taken an extraordinary step as reported by France 24. In the grip of economic crisis, fuel lines and spiraling prices the new normal. Bolivia is facing a severe shortage of US dollars needed to import petrol and diesel Foreign currency reserves have fallen from 15 billion dollars a decade ago to less than 2 billion in May They haven't disappeared entirely, but there are not many dollars. There is some activity obviously but not like before when it came we bought we sold but not anymore Desperate for solutions the government of president Luis Arce is looking to cryptocurrency to ease the pressure lifting a decade-old ban on transactions in digital money like Bitcoin

2:26:57 This is actually a global issue. Everyone is using that kind of payment, why? Because it's an international strategy to move away from using the dollar." The central bank says the move is aimed at modernizing Bolivia's payment system and putting its policies more in line with the rest of Latin America The region has seen a wider official acceptance of crypto in recent years, with its popularity growing in countries like Mexico and Brazil. El Salvador has even made Bitcoin legal tender requiring companies to accept it for payments

2:27:34 Bolivia, meanwhile is one of Latin America's poorest countries despite sitting on large reserves of natural gas and lithium. Gas exports abroad though have cratered in part due to a lack of investment in new exploration meaning fewer and fewer crucial US dollars coming in I just thought that was interesting Well that brings me to a clip. Alright! And it all has to do with like what's happening here, who is running this show that is allowing this to happen? This is all bad for us... Yes US Yes This is the WTF clip at the bottom, it's the Shanghai Club. I don't know anything... never heard of this? I don't know what's going on with it why it's even in business what was doing It's not BRICS! It's another group all together but seems like a lot of BRICS people are in it Is this the SCO? And its all designed to screw us over. Is this the SCO? A what? The S-C-O

2:28:31 Yeah, what is it? Shanghai Corporation. The Shanghai Corporation Club of some sort. Yeah! Shanghai Corporation Organization. I've heard about this. I'll play the clip. Russian President Vladimir Putin met with Chinese leader Xi Jinping today at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summit in Kazakhstan During the meeting, Putin said that ties between Moscow and Beijing are experiencing the best period in their history The club was founded by Russia, China and Central Asian powers in 2001. One of its goals is to counter the influence of the United States and its allies. The organization has since expanded to include India Iran and Pakistan Leaders from various nations are set to attend this week's meeting UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres will also be present. Whoa! The gathering is scheduled to end tomorrow Yeah all I know about this is...I hear the same thing

2:29:24 We don't want the BRICS and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization to join together because then we're real, then the dollar is screwed is what I'm hearing. The fact that this has India and Pakistan sworn enemies along with Russia and China, and then a bunch of Indo-Chinese operations all gathering in Kazakhstan or one of these... Kazakhstan. To plot it, and it says that right in the report to plot against the American dollar

2:30:05 And then when you play that Bolivian clip, this is not good. This is completely going off the rails thanks to our president Biden. Established by China and Russia in 2001, it's the world's largest regional organization in terms of geographic scope and population covering approximately 80% of the area of Eurasia 40 percent of the world population. As of 2021 its combined GDP was around 20 percent of global GDP this is a successor to the Shanghai Five from 1996

2:30:45 Yeah, this is definitely not good. This is why I say people be begging Trump please come in fix it! This is a real problem Not that we know. They're not doing anything about it from what I can tell and that's what's going to make the Stepanopoulos interview interesting. Do they want to take bets right now? Is he gonna tank Joe or is he gonna save him? They better! Stepanopoulos is in the Council on Foreign Relations as I mentioned at the beginning of this show, yeah he'll be out and there's a council on foreign relations which has a bunch of globalists

2:31:23 and none of us, none of them in favor of sovereignty of our country but that's okay. You can have your own opinion and they've all been against Biden since the debate and Stepanopoulos is not going to step out a line Is he? And then make Biden look good. No, even though that Biden will have the questions and everything no you know that's gonna be true in fact there may be a teleprompter behind Stepanopoulos' head that Biden is reading from for all we know This would be even better than debate It could be You got a Chevron deference clip I see

Texas Federal Judge Delays FTC Non-Compete Ban

A federal judge in Texas has issued a temporary stay on the Federal Trade Commission's nationwide ban on non-compete agreements. The ruling suggests the FTC lacked the statutory authority to implement such a broad regulation, reflecting the immediate impact of the Supreme Court's recent Chevron deference decision.

ftc· non-compete agreements· texas· federal judge· chevron deference· labor law

2:32:04 Well, it says after effect Chevron and Texas. This is what I think we're going to start seeing more and more of this is the bull crap after effect because Chevron deference as we talked about did to death you know, is a major change in the way that the government's going to operate. It's not going to be as abusive is what it really amounts to as it used to be, to require like that poor fishing boat guy to spend 170-700 bucks for some piece of specter... Per ship? Per vessel! Per day! ...per day which you can't afford if you're a fisherman. This is an after effect

2:32:47 And we're going to get, and this is in Texas. This is going to be a... We're going to hear more and more stories like this which are phonied up stories." Federal judge in Texas has delayed a ban on non-compete agreements for workers. Companies often ask workers to sign such agreements to promise they won't join the employers rivals or launch competing businesses The ban was approved by the Federal Trade Commission in April and set to take effect in early September. But now it's been delayed by a federal judge who says the FTC lacked the authority to adopt such broad rules. The judge says that the delay is temporary, and the court will rule on the merits of the ban before the end of August. Ha ha! Yes things are changing new sheriff in town and I have some Chevron deference clips

CHAPTER 39 / 44 Discussion

Scott Gottlieb on Chevron Deference and FDA Authority

Former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb discusses the implications of the Supreme Court overturning the Chevron doctrine. He suggests that while fact-based scientific decisions may remain stable, the agency will face increased litigation when attempting to regulate new technologies or flavored tobacco products without explicit Congressional mandates.

2:33:34 Coming from CNBC, which means they kind of have to be honest. But what was most interesting about this is the person who was being interviewed about it is Dr Scott Gottlieb Of course he used to run the FDA So there's some... And he is on the Pfizer board. He is on the Pfizer board, so there are some interesting little deets in this? Welcome back everybody! The Supreme Court has overturned a 1980s precedent known as the Chevron Doctrine that decision could actually undercut federal agencies including the FDA Joining us right now for more on this is former FDA commissioner and CNBC contributor Dr. Scott Gottlieb, and Dr. Gottlieb thank you for being here I wanted to talk to you about this not just in your role as the former FDA Commissioner but also as someone who used to work at the American Enterprise Institute which takes the view that big government's not always a great thing

2:34:27 I just wonder how you are looking at this decision that was originally brought by fishermen in the Atlantic who were unhappy with having to pay for monitors, who were watching over what they were hauling in. Why don't you talk through how you see all of this and what it means? Right, and I'm still at the American Enterprise Institute. Look... I love this! This guy's on both sides of it. This American Enterprise Institute who are against big government has this guy there who basically became a multi-millionaire because of big government? Yeah That's... that's.... The guy knows how to work it. He does, he does Right and I'm still at the American Enterprise Institute Look, I think a lot of conservatives viewed this as a way to constrain the administrative state that regulatory agencies had expanded the scope of their authority into new areas that Congress hadn't clearly delineated

2:35:19 agencies aren't going to be able to do that. When you were a regulator, so when I was at FDA if we issued rulemaking and we were interpreting the statute in areas of ambiguity to try to apply our regulatory oversight new areas of supervision, new product areas. We generally as long as we went through rulemaking we generally felt that the courts would defer to us under Chevron doctrine and that was a reason to go through the rulemaking process so that deference would attach now that presumption no longer exists and so you're going have to back to Congress in many cases get explicit authority if you want to extend the agency's jurisdiction into a new product area. Now with respect to FDA specifically, I would expect that the courts will still defer to FDA on fact-based decision making with respect to the drug approval process or medical product review. Courts and Congress has given the agency broad grants of authority in those areas to make fact based science based decisions so

2:36:15 What I'm hearing here is that the FDA is really, this is going to be a problem because the FDA by themselves could allow rules for new categories of drugs and of course you know the drug industry is second only to the military industry. And Gottlieb is no doubt one of the premier sales guys of this whole cabal. So, instead of talking about Pfizer or Moderna or Eli Lilly or any other big pharma company he gives his examples in a case that I understand which is the vape business particularly Juul. And my overall assessment is they completely screwed all the little guys

2:37:00 who built the industry and just by saying, oh you want to approve some vape juice? That's gonna be a million dollars per flavor per nicotine level. So put them all out of business once they were gone Oh Joule can just... you can come back now, it's okay. You can do your flavors again because you are the big guys and we'll just take your big money and then we'll all have jobs later on." So he uses this as an example and it's not looking pretty for the pharma industry Could you have gone after Juul the way you did in their marketing towards kids under this new ruling? It is quite possible

2:37:38 Right, so one of the rules that could very likely be challenged is the agency's efforts to try to regulate flavored vapes for example. A lot of what we did when we went after Juul was taking enforcement actions under the existing statute and regulations which I think was pretty ironclad. We were on firm ground and we were challenged in courts and we prevailed not under Chevron deference but i think there have been some rules... So, in other words what he's saying if you read between the lines is that Chevron difference made no difference in the whole thing.

2:38:14 But somehow it's bad. Is that what he is going to do? I think so! Not under Chevron deference, but there have been some rules promulgated in the intervening years particularly around flavored tobacco products where the agency could face a challenge That would be one of the more immediate places you'll see litigation now as result of this decision You know, you led at the top with politics It's interesting just go back to 1984 when this doctrine was first established, it was actually conservatives that were fighting for it because they felt that the courts were second-guessing regulatory agencies. Remember those regulatory agencies were under the control of a Republican president at the time and they felt that the regulatory agency should have more jurisdiction and not the court's so now you see the politics of this reversed

2:39:02 I love him like, it's really a Republican fault really. That is disingenuous and borderlines on lying by omission. In 1984 the Reagan administration decided that the EPA was being too harsh with its rulings and its determinations, and it told them to back off. Deregulate was the deregulation era. And so the EPA said okay well we'll back off we'll do what you tell us to do. As they backed off they got sued for backing off

2:39:42 They got sued for deregulating by one of these pressure groups, one of these many environmentalist groups. No no you can't go easy and that's when Chevron difference came up well the EPA should be able to do what it wants to do and government agencies should be able to determine the ambiguities that...and we don't need these court cases It was done for that reason. He leaves that out of his role, the conservatives were all for this! Let's wrap it up with this final clip I was just reading...I didn't even realize Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch was in the majority deciding this it was his mother who was the former EP administrator Ann Gorsuch who actually made the decision that the Supreme Court upheld back in the- Another bullshit thing

2:40:29 Neil Gorsuch's mom was off out of there two years before, I think it was two years before. She was not involved. They like to throw that in there as another moment of irony but she at the time of the Chevron deference in 1984 she was not involved at that time. She wasn't working there We continue. And Gorsuch who actually made the decision that the Supreme Court upheld back in 1984, which is describing your point exactly how it has changed flavors with them I guess my question is...I've had other people who are former FDA officials saying look this could be very bad because it could mean that Congress basically has to sign off on every decision that they're making Could really slow things down especially when you consider that Congress can't even do its own job on time which is coming up with a budget

2:41:18 Are you concerned on that level? And you mentioned yourself that Congress may have to rewrite some of these rules. Do you see that happening, how long would that take and how difficult a job would be for them to get through Congress Yeah, with respect to FDA I think that there is a general view in Washington that they go through very careful rulemaking. The agency issues a lot of regulations and if you look at a lot of FDA statute Congress gives the agency broad grants of discretion by directing it to develop guidance in specific areas so in areas where the Congress has explicitly said we want you to develop a guidance to delineate what your regulatory oversight's going to be in this general area

2:41:57 I think if you read the recent Supreme Court decision, those would be perceived as general grants of authority back to the agency. And so I think you're going to see more in statute. I wouldn't be worried about the agency's decision-making around scientific matters, product review decisions...I think it's going to be in areas where the agency has stepped into regulate new areas of technology where Congress didn't explicitly direct the agency to do that and so those aren't very common they do exist laboratory developed tests as I mentioned is one of the things that would expect to be challenged of

2:42:47 about what exclusivity periods different products are entitled to, those are already the subject of a lot of litigation. I think under this new recent Supreme Court ruling you're going to see more challenges there." through our scientific process. Well that has to do with the patents are limited in length and have money-making patent like Viagra for example however you pronounce it and some of these other real money makers, the cash cows of big pharma. There's patents that run out long ago but they somehow just say there are some generic companies who are allowed to make a copy and they sell it for the same price? I mean this whole thing is rigged. The idea was that after the patent expires you should be able to buy these drugs generically for 1 0th of the price and that was true for awhile

CHAPTER 40 / 44 Discussion

TikTok "Rubbery Fruit" Conspiracies and Apeel Coating

Viral TikTok videos claiming that grocery stores are selling "rubbery" watermelons and silicone-filled blueberries are debunked by the hosts as natural desiccation or hoaxes. They also discuss "Apeel," a controversial food coating used on produce like avocados to extend shelf life.

tiktok· watermelon· blueberries· avocados· apeel· costco· food safety

2:43:46 Until the generic drug companies were bought up by big pharma and then they jacked up the price on the generics And then they didn't allow other people in the market, and I think the FDA has something to do with that No no you guys can't make these videos It's all gotta be made by these guys or somebody in China which is what's going on now with a lot of drugs This is bad. Yeah I have one last clip. It's a TikTok clip, it's a big... Big clip? Yeah, I know! It's a TikTok clip. Talk. Talk. Tick-tock. I know! It's a TikTok club—a clip that has been going around. It's now on YouTube on the shorts there's many of them this has been going on for a number of months but it's really coming to a head and it's quite concerning since we have also received one of these products from Costco no less

2:44:35 And we need to discuss. And they're all bringing it right back saying they don't like the texture. I can't believe i got one, I got a rubbery watermelon." And again when this person bought avocados in Texas that felt like play-doh It's even been happening to bananas and this popular TikToker swears that there was a fake blueberry made out of silicone In the pack of real blueberries that she allegedly bought from Costco

2:45:17 Is there a rubber blueberry in my toddler's snack? And as a result, everyone in the comments is freaking out saying that the fruits are being pumped with growth hormones and others are saying that they will only be shopping at farmers markets from now on. As most of the time the labels aren't accurate and anytime you go to a different country in Europe or South America their produce tastes much more flavorful So this-this... This is a very weird one And I've been hearing about this mainly by avocados But you see watermelon. I mean, you can't even bend it You can't even break it when you bend you can yes, I researched this Oh Thank you This is why there's two of them and it's quite easy to make a watermelon that way

2:46:05 over, you refrigerate it for a long time and you let it kind of desiccates in the refrigerator. Refrigerators dry things out and I did it! I had about a watermelon that about two or three weeks ago... Or I had one dropped off actually. I had half of it was just a normal watermelon. Like I took a chunk of it left in the refrigerator long enough and it turned into exactly that same rubbery watermelon that woman has on the TikTok which is disingenuous bullcrap and the rubber blueberry, she said if you listen to her carefully she says she was grinding something away for some reason. No no it was in the garbage disposal that's what I'm saying She is grinding something in the garbage disposal

2:46:50 and the blueberry wouldn't grind up, and you got it out of there. I don't care what it was if you have a decent garbage disposal is going to beat the crap out of it and it's going to go down the drain that's fake The rubbery watermelons are fake. I haven't dealt with... I don't know what the avocado thing about this is bullcrap This whole report is bullcrap It's a TikTok video John not a report We threw avocados out that we got from Costco They were literally like rubber. I'm not kidding you, and Tina was aghast! She's like what is this? This is not... There are bad avocados that hit the market. They're usually not ripe. Okay. It's not unusual to find an avocado that's kind of rubbery because it looks fine inside but it has got the right color in everything but it's not ripe. You know, it doesn't have any softened characteristics. You should've just let them ripen a little longer. They wouldn't ripen

2:47:51 Well that's odd in itself but... There is the one other thing, is this Apeel? Have you heard of the Apeel? This is some kind of substance that... Oh yes, I had heard this spray. Yeah? That everyone's up against it. What are they putting it on? Avocados! Well, I've never seen an avocado with it on there so maybe there's something to that but I find that this whole thing seems to be very dubious and not sure what the point of it is Well, you get people to go to farmers markets I think which is a good idea. Yeah. I don't have a problem with that. Well... You heard it here first ladies and gentlemen John C. Dvorak says your watermelon is safe to eat Your blueberries are safe to eat And! Don't worry the chicken on United is safe to eat I didn't say that You're putting words in my mouth

3:13:53 Let's meet here again with a quick reminder about what is really important on this 4th of July. You see, a lot of people are proud to be Americans and that is wrong.

We are at war with Russia. We are already on the precipice of losing the freedom and independence Of the nation we are no longer a free people The CIA and FBI and Homeland Security who are beholden to scum They said something a man for whom the Russians interfered with our election Russian scum

3:15:39 Why does the West hate Russia? This is a reality. The nation and all of our freedoms hang by a thread! The fire hose of lies that is Donald Trump... tantamount to treason... were the most immoral decisions in the history of the free press, and it seems like Russia's in on it. The usurper has no validity. A man whom the Russians wanted to run our country for them... comes from Russia No authority under the Constitution. What is with this deep-seated hatred of Russia? They said something! The decision to not fact check by CNN were the most immoral decisions in the history of the free press. Tantamount to treason, act a war How dare you?! CNN should... Stay well!
