About this episode

The Department of Justice has unsealed an indictment alleging that Tenet Media, managed by Lauren Chen and Liam Donovan, operated as a $10 million Kremlin-funded influence front. High-profile media figures including Tim Pool, Benny Johnson, and Dave Rubin were reportedly paid to disseminate pro-Russian narratives, though the influencers maintain they were unwitting victims of the scheme. This development coincides with Tucker Carlson and Vivek Ramaswamy touring to frame such allegations as domestic operations laundered through foreign narratives ahead of the Philadelphia presidential debate.

Global tensions escalate as CIA and MI6 chiefs make a rare joint appearance to confirm Iran has supplied short-range ballistic missiles to Russia. In Ukraine, Senator Lindsey Graham highlights the strategic importance of $12 trillion in critical minerals, while President Volodymyr Zelensky lobbies the Rammstein Air Base meeting for long-range missile authorization. Meanwhile, the U.S. Commerce Department has joined the Netherlands and ASML in implementing strict export controls on quantum computing and semiconductor technology to limit Chinese military advancement. In Brazil, the ban on Elon Musk’s X platform continues as Justice Alexandre de Moraes targets Starlink assets, sparking mass protests led by Jair Bolsonaro supporters.

Domestic oddities and media critiques round out the report, from the NFL’s Friday night debut in Brazil to Vladimir Putin’s tongue-in-cheek endorsement of Kamala Harris’s infectious laugh. Alex Jones addresses the physical toll of his broadcast style, revealing that years of vocal strain have caused laryngeal polyps. The Boeing Starliner’s empty return to Earth leaves astronauts Butch Wilmore and Sonny Williams stranded on the International Space Station until 2025, while New York City Mayor Eric Adams faces a fresh wave of FBI raids targeting his inner circle.

NFL Season Opener, Brazil Game and Red Fingernail Polish

The NFL season began with the Kansas City Chiefs defeating the Baltimore Ravens on a Thursday night, followed by a Friday game held in Brazil. Observations were made regarding a quarterback wearing red fingernail polish, leading to a discussion about the league's changing culture and its potential impact on the core audience.

00:00 Wow, pre-crime. Adam Curry John C. Dvorak It's Sunday September 8th 2024 this is your award winning Gimbo Nation Media Assassination episode 1693 This is no agenda Countering Canadian disinformation and broadcasting live from the cruise ship capital of Mexico just north of Puerto Vallarta.

Wait a minute wasn't the first game in Brazil?

00:38 That was on Friday, yeah. Oh was that the first game of the season and why? Well the first game was a night before it was Thursday It was the Chiefs beating up on the Ravens You said it was more gay than ever Yeah one of the quarterbacks in one of the teams that they talk a lot about is wearing red fingernail polish I don't know what that means but it just seems a little unusual Well I can tell they are alienating their core audience Yeah, I don't think so.

Value for Value Model, Lex Friedman Trump Interview Ads

The podcast operates on a value-for-value model without paywalls or traditional advertisements, contrasting itself with mainstream media. A recent Lex Friedman interview with Donald Trump was criticized for featuring nine minutes of advertisements at the beginning, which is viewed as ineffective due to listener use of the fast-forward button.

value for value· lex friedman· donald trump· advertising· podcasting

01:30 It's all premium. No mugs for sale! Although I have started calling what we're doing Mug Club Media. Mug club media... It's mug club media everybody, um i'm looking for a word that's the opposite of mass media and you know it is value-for-value based and uh and the best thing to come up with is mug club media. I don't think it works. Yeah no good. Well unlike Lex Friedman You know, at the start of his interview with Trump he had nine minutes of ads. At the top of the show. You know if I was him i would do the same thing But if you were an advertiser you'd probably be upset

02:17 No one listens to that. Because they jammed them all together and it was just, they got weaker and weaker in terms of their impact? Is that what you're saying? No I'm saying that's what the fast forward button is for no one is going to listen to those ads everyone goes choop-choop-choop Yeah there's that, that's a fact yeah so...I don't know We also are not getting any tenant media money which by the way I've done a little bit of research Wait wait wait what? What? Tenant media Don't know it. Yes you do, that's the whole pool boy and Rubin and that whole outfit Oh the Russian money Yeah well I'm calling it Tenet media money

Tenet Media Russian Influence Indictment, Lauren Chen and Tim Pool

A Department of Justice indictment alleges that Tenet Media, run by Lauren Chen and Liam Donovan, served as a front for a $10 million Kremlin-funded influence operation. The scheme reportedly paid high-profile influencers like Tim Pool, Benny Johnson, and Dave Rubin to spread pro-Russian and anti-Ukraine narratives. While the influencers claim they were victims of the scheme, the discussion highlights the involvement of Canadian nationals in the operation.

tenet media· lauren chen· tim pool· department of justice· russia

02:58 Oh, okay. I'm confused. I've delved into this now. You know it's like... Oh yeah! Looking at our numbers you say you know maybe if we just said a little more things pro-Russian it might pay off. Hello comrade Dvorak how are you doing this morning? Aktoon or I'm sorry Nyet So I figured out what was happening and what a canard this was and I say canar with the reason So, what happened here is this Tenet Media, it's Lauren Chin or whatever her name is and her husband. Their plan... I figured out their plan was to build their own YouTube channel into a powerhouse

03:40 Exactly. Sorry, yeah building a powerhouse and of course they did this with the Russian money they knew exactly what they were doing and so they figured well we'll give these guys you know this team over here as far as we know only... I should stop you and mention that for people to get a background on this which we're not obviously giving at this point go to The Last Show and listen to it because rather elaborate discussion of this particular thing. So you may have to listen to that. I think most people kind of know what's going on, maybe. Geez! I'm just mentioning that. Okay, all right well stop now and go back and listen to the last episode... And how come you missed it? Anyway so the plan was because there are a lot of people out there saying oh pool boy taking it... There are some great memes

04:35 They've got Tim Pool instead of a beanie on his head. He's got one of those Russian hats, furry hats. They've got him... Yeah, they've got Putin with the bear chest on the horse. They've got little Tim there in front of him bare-chested on the horse! Really funny memes. You're asking for trouble. But it's... Who me? No, him. Oh yeah well... Or anybody who take a bunch of Russian money do some promotional Russian material even though you might not know it You're asking for trouble that's just the way it is I don't think he really knew Of course like alright I guess was some Belgian guy But the plan this this is where I'm getting to The plan was for them to license some hot content by the way

05:26 No agenda show anybody? They could have licensed it from us. And with that to build up this channel which really only had a couple thousand subscribers because you know little do they understand of how YouTube works. So it was... Yeah, you have to fake it! It was really this channel and You have to get some kid in there who knows what he's doing to jack-up the numbers Exactly I remember was that a Kony 1220 2012 or whatever it is? Yeah, Kony 2012 exactly Those numbers are fake So that failed, but as I look a little bit further into the story this whole thing it's Canadians who are doing this. This is Canadian disinformation!

06:10 from Russia, we should be putting sanctions in place against Canada. YouTube is also taking down four separate media channels owned by Chen. Chen is a right-wing commentator with posts supporting Donald Trump and siding with Russia over the war in Ukraine, and U.S Department of Justice indictment doesn't name Chen or her husband and they don't face charges but as the CBC's Evan Dyer tells us Tenet it is allegedly central to a Kremlin

06:52 scheme to use millions of dollars to influence American public opinion and the U.S. presidential election." A federal indictment says those opinions were bought and paid for by the Kremlin, which funneled $10 million in part through Roaming Millennial, a Quebec company belonging to Canadian influencer Lauren Chen and her husband Liam Donovan who then used her Tennessee company, Tenet Media to pay MAGA influencers like Dave Rubin, Benny Johnson Tim Pool and Canadian Lauren Southern to spread the Kremlin's pro-Trump anti Ukraine messages. We have not seen an adversary attempt to influence an American election, to this degree ever before. This former FBI director of counterintelligence says the Russian president will be infuriated to see this operation rolled up. The message the US government is sending with these indictments is we see you, were onto you and we're going to call this out! The charging documents make it quite clear that they knew

07:52 who they were dealing with. So far though, the FBI has charged only Russians not the Canadians and Americans Charge the Canadians! This is horse crap What Russians did they charge? And how would they know? Well that's... it's a very dubious situation The Russians they charge are the ones who were sending money to the Canadians This is Russia and Canada colluding To interfere with our elections I want a wall Stop these Canadians Well, I think you're correct in your being irked by the fact that the Canadians are seemingly getting off scot-free when it comes to who's really behind this. Whose idea was it? Was it the Canadians to begin with? It sounds like it. Sounds like it to me and I think there should be sanctions! Throw them off Swift

CHAPTER 04 / 47 Discussion

Tucker Carlson Live Tour, Vivek Ramaswamy and Election Interference Patterns

Tucker Carlson is currently on a live arena tour featuring guests like Vivek Ramaswamy to promote Donald Trump's candidacy. Ramaswamy argues that allegations of Russian interference in 2016 and 2020 were actually domestic operations laundered through a Russian narrative, suggesting the current DOJ allegations follow the same pattern. The upcoming presidential debate in Philadelphia is framed as a potential "trap" or turning point in the election cycle.

tucker carlson· vivek ramaswamy· merrick garland· 2016 election· 2020 election

08:44 Let's get rid of him. So Tucker is on the road with his show, which is quite entertaining I might say it's basically the vote for Donald Trump show but with interesting guests and he had Vivek Whoever he was, man I wish we could do it. He's got like thousands of people in these arenas and they just sit down with the guests and boom done buy some merch see you later what a gig is good. It's good. I'm happy for him so this comes up on this

09:21 I guess you call it a show with Yvick. But this idea of Russian election interference in particular, let's trace the history of that in each of the last two elections. Let's go to 2016. The allegation of Russian election interference to support Donald Trump when you double click on that look at what was the actual foreign election interference there? It was actually US election interference in the US election through the Steele dossier, but laundered through the narrative of actual Russian interference. And actually there was a Russian intermediary to perpetuate that attempt at election interference about Trump's Russia collusion hoax that's in 2016 now we get to 2020 again domestic election interference is the systematic suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story. That didn't happen by Russian companies it happened by the Russian government it happened by US social media companies

10:14 acting in the direction of deep state actors in the US government that suppressed probably a story whose suppression changed the outcome of the 2020 presidential election. But again, what did they say? They said no this was Russian disinformation. So now you're seeing a pattern and 2016 there's domestic attacks- Hold on a second. Yes Are you telling me people actually paid money to go into a big auditorium to listen to this Oh yeah they love it! You can hear it on TV for free People like live entertainment. Oh, I'm sorry you're categorizing this lecture as entertainment? Okay So now you're seeing a pattern in 2016 there's domestic attempts at election interference But they run it through a Russian smoke screen In 2020 there is domestic election interference but they run it through a Russian smokescreen

11:06 So this time around when I see Merrick Garland in the Department of Justice sitting under the Biden administration suddenly alleging election interference by the Russians, I don't have any facts other than to say my radar goes off and says. I want to know where that election interference is actually beginning Canada! Where's the big laughs? I'm not hearing anything funny You know you know i've watched a couple of these and here's the mistake he's making They do not have good crowd microphones. The crowd is not well-miked, I heard that. Not miked? Yeah this is common It's a shame because... I've seen it, I was in a situation once where the crowd wasn't miked properly

11:50 Yeah. And I was, I was hilarious by the way and then you watch it and I went to watch the thing as they streamed it and there's no reaction look like an idiot up there making jokes with no response whatsoever. No, you look like a dud. It's so typical for these because yeah, concerts that were for, you know, concerts with big audience and then it would also be broadcast on television back in Holland. And we would always focus the crew... It's not, you know, you're doing stuff yes make the house sound good but the lights are also TV lights and the sound is also TV sound! You have to focus on that they missed it on this anyway. I want to mention we did have a producer that went to one of these events RFK Jr showed up

12:36 as a special guest and he thought it was entertaining but it was only filled of 14,000 seat arena with 12 by 12 10 to 12 thousand so. Only? Only twelve thousand?! Well only twelve thousand yeah what they think ten bucks ahead that's what... It's good money! Uh yeah and then you get drinks You get merch parking, you get a piece of the parking. You can have VIP parking." So unfortunately and there's a second follow-up clip here they miss what we saw as obvious

13:13 A lot of those allegations that they were somehow helping Trump, I actually got curious. Actually you could make strong arguments that a lot of these posts or whatever actually weren't helping Trump at all but the fact that they called that Russian election interference again just suggests to me this may be part of a pattern we saw in 2016 and 2020. So I don't really buy what their selling on this. Wow! Yeah i think it's not super clever group right? I think that, the problem is they are actually a super clever group. Oh! I think this is just the beginning of a volley so this one's not going to land. The public fool me once and fool me twice. The reality is there will be some weird things that happen in the next two months depending on what happens in the debate. So I'm going into the debate next week in Philadelphia it'll be Tuesday.

14:03 Probably a Donald Trump demolition destruction of the other side. But don't cheer too much, right? Because I was at the last one and that's actually in some ways was a trap it was obviously a trap. They scheduled the earliest ever presidential debate in US history why did they do that It was obvious It was that they wanted to test Biden as a final trial balloon and they got a free option. Because if he did great, great they turned the race upside down but if Biden did it poorly as he did they swapped him out. It was something unthinkable that became obvious So I think if we have another debate smackdown on Tuesday, as if I was a betting man, I predict that's what we're about to have. I also would predict we're going to have some very strange things that happen on the back of that as well." See? I think they missed it! Our analysis was so clear to us this is about Ukraine or as we say Ukraine

Ukraine Pronunciation, Vivek Ramaswamy Ambassadorship Prediction

A linguistic tangent explores the varying pronunciations of "Ukraine" used by media figures and politicians. Additionally, a prediction is made that Vivek Ramaswamy is acting as an operative and will eventually be appointed as a U.S. Ambassador to India or another BRICS nation under a future Trump administration.

ukraine· vivek ramaswamy· india· brics· pronunciation

14:58 You know, it's like no I don't think you're getting this right. No, I would listen to all the analysis of this Russian stuff and they left out a lot... They always left something out we caught it all... It was about Ukraine! Wait wait wait! We can't be saying Ukraine? We have to say Ukraine Well you just said it But that's like saying Gaza You know, this is for some reason all the in crowd which is not us is saying Ukraine. Well you just said it I said Ukraine or U-crain and I said U-crain yeah but you got but we that I was accentuating a point that we don't say these things oh okay well yuh-crain um Yuk-crain? Yuck crane Yeah yes that's exactly right But that's not going to be picked up because that's not where the narrative is gonna head

15:54 And while all this is taking place... By the way, I think we should stop right here and I think it's time to create a pool. A betting pool on where is... because Vivek is obviously an operative. Where is he going to end up in the Trump administration? Ambassador. He's gonna get a job. Ambassador. He's getting an ambassadorship To India you think? Just ship him off That's probably the best thing to do is ship him off. Vivek, great job! Yeah you need to ship them off to one of the BRICS countries so India would be perfect let him go sit there I think that'd be good yeah and he can...yeah I think that's where i put my money in the pool India ambassadorship good to go So meanwhile while everyone is running around talking about Russian disinformation that came from Canada

Rammstein Air Base Meeting, Zelensky Long-Range Missile Requests

Defense ministers from allied nations met at Rammstein Air Base in Germany to discuss further military aid for Ukraine. President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed frustration over the lack of permission to use Western long-range missiles to strike targets inside Russian territory. U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin indicated that no single capability would turn the tide of the war, despite a new $250 million assistance package.

rammstein air base· volodymyr zelensky· lloyd austin· missiles· germany

16:47 All the military-industrial complex came together in Rammstein. The Rammstein Air Base. Rrrrrammstein! It's a rock group, isn't it? Yeah... yeah it's also an army base in Germany and everybody was there all the money was there everyone was good to go and we brought a big check. The arrival appeared awkward even if it was among friends. Vladimir Zelensky arriving at a meeting of defense ministers from allied countries including the US UK and hosts Germany He, like his country's soldiers once more on a mission to ensure Ukraine partners were following through on promises to help it win its war with Russia. The shortage of missiles and cooperation this applies even to our territory which is occupied by Russia including Crimea we think it is wrong that there are such steps

17:39 to have this long-range capability not only on the occupied territory of Ukraine but also on the Russian territory. Zelensky is frustrated that allies still haven't permitted Kiev to hit Russia inside its own borders using Western long range missiles, he believes this is a key way to put pressure on Moscow to end it's two and half year war in Ukraine But speaking after the meeting, US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin appeared to indicate that Washington did not believe long-range capabilities would turn the tide of the war. We had this discussion about other capabilities and each time we point out that

18:16 It's not just one thing, it is a combination of capabilities and how you integrate those capabilities to achieve objectives. Earlier on Friday the US said it would be providing an additional $250 million in assistance while the UK and Germany also said they were providing equipment including short-range missiles and howitzers Ukraine says it desperately needs to bolster its defenses. So of course we're not going to give him long-range weapons because that could potentially, could do one of two things... Could start World War III minor issue but it would possibly end something and they don't want that! Keep burning stuff on that border keep blowing stuff up you doing a good job and who else was there? Who else was in Rammstein

CHAPTER 07 / 47 Discussion

Lindsey Graham, Ukraine Mineral Wealth and Resource Interests

Senator Lindsey Graham stated that Ukraine is sitting on $10 to $12 trillion worth of critical minerals that should benefit the West rather than Russia or China. This economic interest is presented as a primary driver for continued U.S. support in the conflict. The discussion also touches on the control of Ukraine's agricultural "breadbasket" by major corporations like Cargill and Monsanto.

lindsey graham· ukraine· minerals· putin· china

19:04 Doing, I swear to God doing Instagram reels with Zelensky Lindsey Graham I'm here with President Zelensky. I am such an admirer of what you and your country have done, we're trying to stop the Russians so we don't have to fight them they don't want any American troops You're gonna stop the Russians so WE DON'T HAVE TO FIGHT THEM? Ya dope! Trying to stop the Russians so we don't have to fight them They don't want any American troops They just need weapons to free their country Yeah yeah yeah We don't want American troops on the ground Kill your own people of a terrible invasion. They're sitting on... I know that's what so funny Oh, it gets better! It gets better He does he does a classic here and it gets better ...of a terrible invasion they're sitting on trillion dollars worth of minerals that could be good to our economy So we keep helping our friends in Ukraine We can win this, they need our help

19:55 Yes, we need and we have already The biggest help is the support of American people in support of our friends. Thanks to Lindsay and his colleagues To congressmen and senators from the United States thanks for this support bipartisan support Thank you so much peace is coming Peace is coming right after week I don't know if Zelensky is, he must be in on the game because no way is he gonna get any of the 26 trillion dollars worth of minerals that are in Ukraine's land. No way! You said it again... I'm doing on purpose now

20:37 And this is, Lindsey Graham has been saying this but no one ever calls him out on it or says this is the real reason for this war. They're sitting on 10 to 12 trillion dollars of critical minerals in Utah. They could be the richest country and all of Europe I don't want to give that money and those assets to Putin, to share with China or to Ukraine. If we help Ukraine now they can become the best business partner we ever dreamed of. Sign here! That 10-12 trillion dollars in critical mineral assets could be used by Ukraine and the West not given to Putin and China this is a very

21:15 big deal how Ukraine ends. Let's help them win a war we can't afford to lose, let's find a solution to this war but they're sitting on a gold mine." Yeah and this was months ago that he said this so it's like it's so obvious what is going on they've already given away all of the breadbasket of Europe to the you know Monsanto and Cargill and not Mon-Cargill and who are the other guys who did the big ag Tyson probably, think Tyson. I don't think that Tyson's on this deal. Well but... Yeah yeah i'd rather have the Russians say you know we're not getting paid Russian money but I'm going to say it Not yet you're working on it! I can hear you, I see what your doing The Russians should have them let them do it because the one thing I've noticed about them is they're not gougers

22:06 When they're giving all the gas and they're pumping it all into Europe, and everyone's saying oh we're gonna depend on it. They never gouged anybody they just let take a look at it take a small profit and then they dump it out there And you know that gougers are looking for that wheat fields and the gougers are looking for the minerals The gougers are starving Africans With with the wheat and the grain yeah That is a that is would the bet the negative side of capitalism So this brings me to boots on the ground from one of our producers in Russia who says I love your show

CHAPTER 08 / 47 Discussion

American Student in Russia, Kursk Incursion and Sanction Workarounds

An American student currently living in Russia provides a "boots on the ground" report regarding the Ukrainian incursion into the Kursk region, suggesting the Russian military set a trap for Ukrainian forces. The report also describes how Western brands like McDonald's, KFC, and Coca-Cola continue to operate in Russia under new names or through middleman workarounds despite international sanctions.

russia· kursk· sanctions· mcdonalds· coke

22:48 I'm an American, currently studying in... He's an American in Russia. Yes. We need to get Russians to listen- You know what? I want to stop right here and mention the people that are listening to this show that are in Spain they listened to the show and I visited with a few of them once and they said well the great thing about this shows you guys speak clearly and it is good for us to practice our English All world listeners out there should pass it along to other people that are in the community, Russia and elsewhere. Listen to this show so you can practice your English. And we have transcripts in the Modern Podcast app so you can read along and learn how- Unbelievable! ...and learn how to spell Dvorak. Like a John C. A John C. Love your show on American Currently Studying In Russia because It's Cheap

23:38 Just wanted to tell you that I've observed what I have observed here in Russia regarding the Russo-Ukrainian War. I think and do believe that there will never be a demilitarized zone in Russia, at least maybe inside of Ukraine The Kursk region will not be part of a demilitarized zone John touched on something I think is true In 1943 the Germans attacked the Kursk salient and set up a trap I think the Russians set the same trap in the Kursk region this time as well, there was nothing but green conscripts guarding the border a little like October 7th.

24:16 The total number of troops crossing the border at first was 1,000. Once they got inside Russia the Ukrainians put another 11,000 troops into the region as of now the casualty numbers for the Ukrainians could be as high as 6,000 out of a total of 12,000 initial troop count but of course you know that's not reported Also, the Ukrainians gambled and lost that Russia would pull troops from the entire Eastern Front to stop this incursion. Which they didn't! Ukrainians had to redeploy some of their forces from Kursk to Pro-Kursk

24:53 Just to slow down the Russian advance. John, you had a clip from YouTube channel military summary channel I know you two are busy and blah blah blah Finally just let the dames knights and fellow producers know that Russians are really friendly caring And they have a great sense of dark humor They hold hands and hug That's for sure They hold hands and hug while drinking overpriced coffee talking about how crappy their pop music is and did You see that latest internet meme? They could be Americans of the Eastern Hemisphere, which is maybe why our governments are at each other's throats sometimes. Also I can still get Coke and Pepsi here McDonalds and KFC just renamed themselves to Tasty Period and Rustics Well...Tasty Period? Tasty period! What kind of franchise marketing is that?! I don't know but it doesn't sound right While Burger King hasn't even taken down their signs and are still open for business

25:46 In my city's biggest mall, I even found a can of AMW root beer from America. How do i know it was from America? Ingredients in English and second ingredient was high fructose corn syrup Well how about that? That should be... isn't that illegal aren't they breaking sanctions by still operating in Russia Well, they use middlemen in some sort of a legal way. Let's face it It does work it's called the work around and one of the things Americans are good at is Workarounds we are good at that you can find them we work them out reach her up. That's Different we're always mixing these things. I'm sorry. No wonder you keep screwing up into So there was so now we have reports. I think France 24 those maybe Deutsche Villa and they bring in

CHAPTER 09 / 47 Discussion

Iranian Missile Claims, CIA and MI6 Public Appearance

The chiefs of the CIA and MI6 made a rare joint public appearance to warn that Iran has supplied short-range ballistic missiles to Russia for use in Ukraine. Critics argue this narrative is a dramatic escalation intended to justify further military spending, noting that Iranian drones have already been documented in the conflict for over a year.

iran· russia· cia· mi6· ballistic missiles

26:35 a military industrial complex shield which the whole thing was all MIC. Ukraine says it is concerned by foreign media reports that Iran has delivered short-range ballistic missiles to Russia, Moscow... They hear the Iran meme coming in now. ...stepped up missile and drone attacks in recent days stretching Ukraine's air defenses. Kiev and its allies have previously accused Iran of supplying Shahed drones to Russia, but Tehran denies supplying any weapons used to attack Ukraine." Let's bring in the shell! Well so the story is... What?

27:14 What? Why are they making this assertion, what difference does it make. Well here comes the shield to tell us why And we are now joined by Mark Canstien a former colonel in the US military and now with the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington Colonel, why would Russia need Iranian missiles does it not have enough of its own Well, it does not have enough on its own. It has been producing ballistic missiles all along often with parts smuggled in from global sources but those haven't been enough

27:49 to accomplish the ends that they're trying to accomplish, for example attacking Ukrainian infrastructure electricity for example. So they brought in ballistic missiles from North Korea and now they're proposing to bring in ballistic missiles from Iran. It's important to keep in mind that Iran has been supplying Russia with missiles all along these Shaheed-136s we just heard about Iran has been sending for about a year and in fact they've set up a plant in the, uh, Russia to produce these missiles. These kamikaze drones, the ballistic missiles as a step up in support but not fundamentally change in policy. Okay so just bringing Iran into it for whatever reason we can kind of guess why?

28:37 And if you heard at the beginning of... Well, of course they want war with Iran. Anything! More military industrial complex financing please. I think yeah there's a bit of that but It does the whole story that makes no logical sense for one thing. The claim is basically the Russians are losers, they can't even make their own damn missiles Well where does it come from at the beginning of the report you heard according to reports? Well where did it come from it came from the chiefs of MI6 and CIA themselves who appeared at a Financial Times conference

29:16 Just before the Rammstein conference. Stepping out from the shadows for the first time together, a united front in an era of division and danger such as claims that Iran has supplied Russia with ballistic missiles for its war in Ukraine Should Iran ship ballistic missiles of whatever kind close range or other kinds It would be a dramatic escalation of the nature of that defense partnership. The assertion, there's interesting cross purposes of assertions. The first one was that oh no they're not doing anything but they're gonna start doing it which we've known since day one and we've seen pictures of the missiles I've shown pictures of the factories in a newsletter six months ago to longer maybe of the factory in Iran exactly the model numbers and everything for all these drones

30:24 We have all the data, all the information that missile lands and it doesn't blow up. And they can see... They take pictures of it and put those in the newsletter It's all been documented but now all of a sudden they haven't really been doing any of that but they're gonna start to Are you kidding me? They think that we're that stupid?! Well, please bear in mind for the first time ever in public together it's the chief of the CIA Burns and the chief of MI6 Moore who are telling us this so now we can believe it. ...of the nature of that defense partnership... No confirmation but Russia's invasion of Ukraine is a key focus for the spy chiefs.

Kursk Offensive Narrative, Putin Grip on Power

Intelligence officials describe the Ukrainian offensive in Kursk as a significant tactical achievement that boosted morale and exposed Russian vulnerabilities. However, MI6 Chief Richard Moore noted there is no evidence that Vladimir Putin's grip on power is weakening, citing his ability to repress domestic opposition effectively.

kursk· vladimir putin· mi6· ukraine· morale

31:05 They applaud a recent incursion by Kiev in the opposite direction, with Ukrainian troops snatching parts of Russian land. It's typically audacious and bold on the part of the Ukrainians... Oh so bold on the part of the Ukrainians! Audacious? To try and change the game in a way, and I think they have. Yes, you want to say something? No I was just saying. I was just listening to the man talk and continuing... He's ahead of MR6! To try and change the game in a way And i think they have to a degree changed the narrative around this The Kursk offensive is a significant tactical achievement Oh please

31:49 You know, boost in Ukrainian morale. It has exposed some of the vulnerabilities of Putin's Russia and his military. Despite the blow Vladimir Putin is still deemed to be looking strong for now I don't see any evidence today that Putin's grip on power is weakening. He does one thing really well and that's repress people at home. Yeah, just don't ever confuse a tight grip with a stable grip So all he does is oppress people at home with, I don't know, Burger King KFC McDonald's A&W root beer Pepsis and then what does he actually come out and say? It's an endorsement made in gist

Vladimir Putin Trolls Kamala Harris, Infectious Laugh Comments

During a forum in Vladivostok, Vladimir Putin jokingly endorsed Kamala Harris for the U.S. presidency, citing her "infectious laugh" as a sign of well-being. The U.S. National Security Council responded by telling Putin to stop interfering in American elections. The hosts debate whether Russian citizens are actually familiar with Harris's public persona or if the comments were purely for international trolling.

vladimir putin· kamala harris· donald trump· russia· election interference

32:35 Speaking as a guest at a forum in East Russia, Vladimir Putin candidly suggested that Kamala Harris was his preferred candidate for November's US presidential election. She has such an expressive and infectious laugh it shows she is doing well I mean Trump, he's imposed more restrictions and sanctions on Russia than any president has ever imposed before. And if Mrs Harris is doing well maybe she'll refrain from doing something like that? The comments were met with laughter by the audience adding to the mocking theme of the remarks a common trend whenever Putin has talked on social issues in the United States. The Russian president had earlier this year backed outgoing President Joe Biden over Trump claiming he was more predictable, but Trump for his part said he was left feeling split over Putin's latest comments I don't know exactly what to say about that. I don't know if i'm insulted or He did me a favor

33:33 The US National Security Council meanwhile called on Putin to stop talking about American elections and to stop interfering with them. Stop talking about us! This is great, it's like he's trolling While totally well, he's picked up a clue. Yeah He is trolling in fact I'd like to have somebody else translate what he said cuz they I'm sure skeptical I've got this clip came out some time back and then was skeptical about it said translation Well, that's a good point Although this translation with the one I heard was a woman translator and this one is a male slightly different Well The reason I pick this one as its France 24 and they had a much more coherent translated the translation was the same

34:16 the Russian translator that the clip and the thing the thing that made me suspicious about the clip was That when he talked about Camilla's infectious laugh or basically are cackling Yeah, the audience cracked up as if they'd heard it and I don't know why they would well They've heard her. Why why would they have heard? Camila cackling? Why would they have heard any of it is really this It's like some minor little Picadillo that saves some politician in Portugal might have and if you mention it to an American audience They'd all refer they'd all laugh about it when we would have no clue You just didn't make any sense to me that they've heard her. Oh, come on That a Russian national would have ever heard anything Kamala Harris ever said

35:07 I dispute that. I think that the Russians are all over listening to what's going on with us Why not? Look, I just don't see it. I don't see but good for one thing She's never said anything important. I mean, that's only listen. That's the only thing she's known for is that laugh The world over the Dutch are talking about it I seen in the Dutch press so I mean not quite Russia but not far off and So, I don't know. We'll look for a... I just said it made me skeptical. I mean, I didn't know that the Dutch were all aware of this stupid laugh but... Everyone's aware of the stupid laugh. See? I dispute that. Now you used the word disputed so I used it back. You can dispute it all you want! Now will they know she starts talking Southern and Black? No

Kamala Harris Campaign Style, Preaching and McDonald's Claims

Kamala Harris's recent campaign appearances are analyzed, focusing on her use of different accents and her claims of having worked at McDonald's. The discussion highlights her rhetoric regarding unions, "woke" culture, and her previous comments about listening to 2Pac, which are characterized as attempts to appeal to specific voter demographics.

kamala harris· mcdonalds· unions· 2pac· woke

36:06 No, that I think they wouldn't know. Until now! Without voter suppression, Stacey Abrams would be the governor of Georgia Andrew Gillum is the governor of Florida Let me get into some business now You all helped us win in 2020 and we're gonna do it again in 2024 Well what are you gonna do about it? He does not walk it like he talks it When we get this done together my friend Can I get a witness? You think you just fell out of a coconut tree. Best rapper alive. 2Pac. Are you kidding me, totally!

36:46 Part of that whole listening generation of music. Young men of color, black man is not it's not just a barbershop we got these brothers out there this one brother who was doing a lot of work on the space We have to stay woke Let's get a ceasefire There must be an immediate cease fire Like everybody needs to be woke Just say more woke than less woke Leave grandma's medical marijuana alone I didn't know he could preach like that. You better thank a union member! You better thank, thank a union member for sick leave! You better thank a union member for paid leave! Better thank a union member for vacation time! Weed em'! I also worked at McDonald's. There you go... See the Russians didn't know about THAT They do now Hello Russia

PBS and NPR Ukraine Coverage, Drone Attacks on Kiev

Media reports from PBS and NPR summarize a week of intense Russian drone attacks on Kiev and other Ukrainian cities, resulting in several casualties. President Zelensky traveled to Italy to meet with European leaders to secure more aid money, while U.S. media coverage is noted for its brevity as public interest in the war reportedly wanes.

pbs· npr· kiev· drones· volodymyr zelensky

37:38 Yeah, well the one or two Russians that listen to this show. They got to get more people listening Yes I agree hit some Russians in the mouth but not not a call for violence Okay, well i've opened the show Well, I do have my all my totality of ukraine clips Is from pbs it's a 22 second clip which summarized what was You didn't even touch upon but it did summarize the Ukraine war for the last week and you might as well play it. In Ukraine, Russian drone attacks are getting dangerously close to the country's capital. Ukraine's Air Force said that across the country overnight it shot down nearly 60 long-range drones. Debris and shrapnel fell onto streets in Kiev some of it narrowly missing the country's parliament building

38:27 President Volodymyr Zelensky is in Italy today. He's meeting with European leaders to try to shore up support and ask for more aid money Money looking for money, money, money Come on man give me some money That guy's gotta go. No, he's perfect! He's... I mean he's perfect for the whole- He's got to go. He's perfect for the whole system. I'm sick of this system being exploited that's our money it's your money my money everyone who listens in this show is their money they're just stealing money no i feel your dismay

39:05 I'm just pointing out the obvious. The guy's not gonna go, he's fantastic! Look when we send another 250 million dollars or if we make decisions about long-range missiles why is it only Lloyd Austin that talks about where's our president? Isn't he the one that should be telling us what we're doing? No, they just send over generals and contractors and they all sit at a long desk. And Zelensky's there like oh yeah good man keep it going brother! We want more stuff. Oh you did another clip of play this is the drone it says Dones

39:47 He hit Kiev. This is the counter clip, this is a longer clip NPR does a better job on weekends. They did 33 seconds! Oh nice. Here we go. Russia continued to bomb Ukraine today striking near the parliament in the country's capital Kiev during the early hours The country's Air Force said nearly 70 drones were used and most were shot down with air defenses. No deaths were reported in the capital, but elsewhere in Sumy, Kharkiv, Herson and Dnipro local officials say Russian attacks injured or killed at least four people This as funeral services were held for victims of an earlier Russian attack on Poltava that killed more than 50 people and injured hundreds

CHAPTER 14 / 47 Discussion

Media Strategy on Trump, Tariffs and Cognitive Health

A new media trend involves reporters claiming they must "translate" Donald Trump's speeches due to alleged cognitive decline, while Trump refers to his speaking style as "the weave." NPR coverage of a Trump rally in Wisconsin criticized his stance on tariffs, though the report eventually acknowledged that the Biden administration has kept many of those same tariffs in place.

donald trump· npr· tariffs· joe biden· cognitive health

40:30 You see that? No mention of money there. No, but the horrible... The reason why it's a 33 second report is because even NPR knows no one in America cares anymore about this we've were immune like I agree with that so they're trying to keep their audience So PBS, they gotta do more anti-Trump stuff and less stuff about these wars or anything else Yes yes! That's what you need Do more..you know the latest...I didn't clip any of it but the latest trend in, and I heard this on the media from NPR. The trend is to say, we're not reporting right on Trump. We're translating his incoherent blather because he's old and he can't speak. He's old and senile! And so we're translating it. We should be playing and saying exactly what he said cause no one understands it. This is the new move. You gotta make Trump sound stupid. Well the problem

41:31 that they don't have enough air time because his, what he calls the weave it takes too long. It takes way too long for him to get to a point And oh it takes forever. It's at that's this whole thing is he he's just a audience hog The story way you describe it yes, he goes up there and yaks yaks yaks Yes, any good tries to do material I had a clip here that actually discusses this mm-hmm Well, this is the trend so I'm glad I'm glad that you're on it because I didn't get anything Here's in B. This is says MPR put it emissive and N

42:13 Randomly ripping Trump on his tariffs and some others. This is just a random NPR rip Man, I wish i could find it. You confuse me well. M-P-R-M as in Mary P... I'm looking at M and oh M-P-R yes I got you Former President Donald Trump spoke at a rally in Mosonee Wisconsin this afternoon A speech that went on for more than an hour and half The rally was part of the swing state push both campaigns are doing with less than two months until election day NPR's Danielle Kurtzleben reports Trump made many of his usual arguments like railing against the quote fake news and casting undocumented immigrants as dangerous. See this is what they want, hey you can't do that anymore you have to verbatim report what he said because these he has cognitive issues! He also repeatedly... Well would stop before you finish or that thought

43:07 The way they begin the report as though he went on for an hour and a half like he's a rambling old man, as if... He does 145 once in awhile. Yeah! An hour-and-a-half in the modern era is short And you wonder why people pay money to go see Tucker & Vivek? They love it People love the live show Can't afford Oasis tickets So you might as well go to either the free Trump show, which is... Oh yeah, now that you mention it. What does a Taylor Swift ticket cost? Ah! If you can get one I've been just like 500 bucks and up. I've been hitting refresh for hours! Also repeatedly promoted tariffs We will charge other countries when their product is sent into our country, and why shouldn't we? That's exactly what they do that's what made China strong Foreign countries do not pay tariffs businesses importing goods to the US do Tariffs can be attempts to protect domestic industry but economists say many of tariffs costs are passed on to U.S consumers

44:09 As president, Trump imposed tariffs on hundreds of billions of dollars in Chinese goods. President Joe Biden kept tariffs on Chinese goods in place. Danielle Kurtzleben NPR News. Now okay this is an interesting report because they go on to condemn him for tariffs and then casually just kind of mentioned just the balance the report I'm not sure why they even did it well dimension that... Go ahead Well, I thought you had something to say there. No go ahead So what they did was they set it up with all this guy's terrible Oh by the way Biden did the same thing They only did that because it cuz they would be condemned By the media watchers for not saying hey wait a minute Why is it so bad when Trump does it but it's okay when Biden does it which is really? What the comeback so they slip it in at the end as though you won't notice so very poor so I've seen a couple things that make me question

Trump Force 47, PBS Reporter and Conspiracy Theories

A PBS reporter interviewed a woman involved with "Trump Force 47" who claimed Joe Biden died three years ago. The segment explores the wide array of supporters within the Trump movement and criticizes the reporter for not staying to observe the actual campaign training session, which was open to the press.

trump force 47· pbs· conspiracy theories· joe biden· voters

45:08 Well, I mean if you look at the headlines today neck and neck it's very close within the margin of error. It's a horse race everybody oh it's crazy! It's so close... Sooo close. But I don't know if they're trying to pull Trumps numbers up a little bit or... Money? Yes. I don't know what PBS was thinking with this this is so instead of playing Crazy Trump let's play something from the Crazy Trump voters And are they crazy? I spoke to another Trump supporter woman who really spouted... Why don't they say voters, they always say supporters. You ever notice that? Well that's a good...I'll have to start looking for that They call about...they say fans or supporters or anyway

45:53 I spoke to another Trump supporter woman who really spouted a series of conspiracy theories. She was someone being trained for this Trump force 47 potentially she was in that meeting... She's gonna be one of those people trying to persuade others? She was in that meeting, I didn't stay for the actual training but she was there for that event and she told me... Hold on! Trump Force 47? She said, wait why didn't she stay? Because it would rot her brain and she'd become a Trump supporter She didn't want the programming. I don't know this is Trump force 40s if you're reporting on something even if you didn't stay why would you say that it seems to me that you especially of your NPR or PBS whatever this is same thing? I think this was these are on YouTube these are like zoom calls, but you can sign up to become part of Trump Force 47 okay yes yeah I'd like a lot actually I liked the whole idea of Trump Force 47

46:52 Yeah, okay. Well you can just keep playing I'm sorry. I didn't stay for the actual training but she was there for that event and she told me you know i believe Joe Biden died three years ago You know what? I told her you know that sounds like a conspiracy theory you know that's hysteria. Well boy did she countered it! She said oh no that's a conspiracy theory you know that right?! And then I told her you know that sounds like a conspiracy theory you know that's a stereotype against Trump voters and she said I know that but this is true So I talked to the first woman, suburban woman. Trump voter said you know these are the other supporters of Donald Trump These are the same people in your party supporting him and she said

47:29 I think that's just crazy. You know, so they're really on different pages They're both behind Donald Trump But neither one are quite seeing the full picture of his support and what he stands for to everyone who supports him So what I like about this is they're saying there's such a wide array of people Who were all in on Trump They're baffled by it Yes! They're baffled exactly like that The crazy ones and the other ones say okay well she's crazy but its alright They cannot fathom that people just want an agenda or, you know they want a platform. Or they want something anything but what we have. They can't... Lockstep is the way they are and the thing that still fascinates me to go back to it this was agenda with Trump 47 I guess force whatever is called. Trump Force 47

48:22 Trump force 47 training and you had the opportunity to go to get in on it as a reporter And you so you could report on exactly what the training was and how it works. What kind of a reporter are you? There's I'm seeing all kind of asking you. I mean just yeah, we ask you to do I hear you that it's PBS reporters What she is would you like to come to our conspiracy theory meeting? Yeah, I know We don't usually let the press in but if you come in It's okay and be okay for you to come in and spy on us no problem And you don't do it I hereby invite you nuts I hereby invite any PBS reporter to come to my vape shop meetings

Christian Nationalism, Lance Wallnau and the Courage Tour

CBS News reporter Major Garrett profiled Lance Wallnau and his "Courage Tour" in Wisconsin, which aims to mobilize charismatic Christians to vote for Donald Trump. Wallnau frames the election as a spiritual battle against "demonic" forces and views Trump as a divinely chosen outsider. The report suggests this is the most tactical voter mobilization effort by Christian nationalists to date.

christian nationalism· lance wallnau· major garrett· cbs· wisconsin

49:05 Because you'd love them. You'd love to hear the ranchers! Unbelievable I know so now it's interesting how we kind of switched up beats, just looking at the titles of your clips So you brought in the Christian nationalism last time and CBS and that was I think NPR CBS did a series or you know little report And it sounded to me like they're actually trying to get the non-voting evangelicals out to vote, which makes no sense. Because that's the whole... you know as we've discussed, the whole problem is that the evangelicals—the Christians, the Christian nationalists—they don't vote

49:47 So they do a story where they say, hey these guys don't vote. Under a massive circus tent in Eau Claire Wisconsin Lance Wall now is the ringleader preaching Christian nationalism and political activism to a rapturous following. Rapturous! A rapturous... I missed that the first time i heard it. A rapturous following Unless you learn how to mobilize and how to move at a local level then you're letting the devil dominate your culture. Wallnau, 68 is a business consultant self-proclaimed profit and firebrand influencer in the growing charismatic Christian movement oh wow what I want that on my business card Firebrand just put it on firebrand he views Trump as a once in 1000 years figure flawed yet divinely chosen to navigate chaotic times

50:41 That I did in 2015 when i first met Trump. And I got a lot of pushback after he got elected because they were searching around for how could the evangelicals justify voting for some barbaric character like Trump and the hypocrites that they are. Wall now admits that Trump, twice divorced and roundly accused of other moral failings does not align with traditional evangelical expectations I said listen give the guy some time he doesn't know who we are but his values resonate with our community God's raising up an outsider Wall now headlines the so-called courage tour a religious roadshow that aims to mobilize Religious conservatives to vote and serve as election workers in key counties So that's just the setup, but then we get closer into it And I really think CBS or the reporter is major Garrett. Yes That's who that is and he is Kind of on the fence used to be with Fox

51:39 He's always been on the fence with Trump because Trump has called him out as a douchebag more than one good point. Good point So we should keep that in mind well, all right It doesn't matter it still has to go through the CIA broadcast systems or the editors Yeah and Trump evangelicals don't see an abrasive thrice married billionaire They do see an anti-establishment leader strong on abortion gender issues And Israel I want people to vote for because he stands for something. Jackie Brokaw lives in Wisconsin and attended the Courage Tour with her brother. The number of Christians that are in this area, if they would vote they could swing this county which would probably swing the rest to the state What we're seeing here today is the most targeted and tactical voter mobilization effort done by Christian nationalists ever

52:30 Matthew Taylor has written extensively about this new form of religious activism that fuses political outcomes with divine intervention. What is the political import possibly in a 2024 election of events like this? Well, if Trump wins... And that becomes a part of the impetus that Donald Trump can say, I don't just have a democratic mandate. I have a divine man to change the country in accordance with biblical values that these folks claim to have. Yeah, Trump's gonna be yeah, right God did it for me and here comes the final pitch from Major Garrett January 6 was not an insurrection It was an election fraud intervention

53:12 2020 election denialism is core to Walnau's worldview and the terminology at his revivals is apocalyptic. It's not us that's dangerous, it's them! Describing a spiritual battle between pious believers and demons who speak through Democrats or liberals Yes! It's not just the person... Demons! ...it's a spiritual force demonic or demonic yeah they can influence people with bodies he believes hyper-focused christian political energy can overcome those perceived obstacles the tendency to just look at elections pray about them eat popcorn watch the result and then go to bed is over christians as believers probably should be engaged in this process

53:53 shaping culture far more aggressively and intentionally from now on. As for their impact on the election, God only knows. For CBS Mornings I'm Major Garrett in Eau Claire Wisconsin So that is he literally is helping the message. It's better than Trump's message! Well maybe again, the CIA... We have talked about this on and off and on and off which is it possible they really want Trump to win? Yeah And the whole thing is just a smoke screen for like trying to get Trump to win somehow Well, this report felt like it. And I can tell you that churches around America are speaking like this. I don't know if you want to call them Christian nationalists or extremist but there's a big movement out there trying to do exactly this and CBS just helped! Very interesting

CHAPTER 17 / 47 Discussion

Paul Pelosi Attack, Fraternal Order of Police AI Calls

Anderson Cooper's reporting on the attack against Paul Pelosi is criticized for claiming a sledgehammer was used when video evidence showed a standard hammer. This leads to a discussion about the Fraternal Order of Police using interactive AI voices for telemarketing, which often struggle to respond when asked if they are robots.

paul pelosi· anderson cooper· fraternal order of police· ai· telemarketing

54:46 Meanwhile, back at the ranch Anderson Cooper brought out a whopper of lies. We begin tonight with former president campaign politics his legal troubles and lies He finished his day in Charlotte North Carolina where the Fraternal Order police endorsed him And he had this to say about a violent attack on Nancy Pelosi's husband You know that Nancy Pelosi is a big wall wrapped around her house Of course it didn't help too much with The problem she had did it. That's the former president speaking to members of law enforcement making light on, for the first time I should point out a violent attack against Paul Pelosi A home invader beat Mr. Pelosi with a sledgehammer and fractured his skull. Uh... Not a sledge hammer! What? A sledge hammer?! We saw the video he is holding a regular claw hammer Sledge hammer we all saw it

55:39 It's like, okay pooper. A sledgehammer no less gotcha Hey by the way the fraternal order of police are those the guys that always call me asking for money? Sometimes they call I mean nowadays. They have this new guy They have a new with the big heavy voice hey hi the guy with the big voice which is an AI voice Oh, and he's it's an AI character And what she's easy to hang up on because you don't make any excuse yeah You're right in yes, you're right It isn't a Ike it's an AI guys says hi how are you doing? You know there's a night cut Don't hanging out because ha ha he laughs about something and they but he has no voice He has that

56:21 Oh, he's got a beautiful voice. This is Sergeant Pete from the Fraternal Order of Police. Are you interested in protecting police? It's yeah, this guy has got a great voice and it comes up I get that call about once every couple months. Yeah, a couple of months. And is the same guy as the same voice and now it's an AI so it's not it interacts with interactive A.I., So you can say something to it except are you an AI voice and then you hear that thing going to a stall as it tries to dredge up in answer to that. They gotta fix this because if you're gonna do that, they got to come up with a quicker response

57:06 because every time you call it out as a robot or AI, it goes into a long loop and then it comes back with oh no I'm not AI. I am a real person! It's terrible, it is terrible and so easy to spot and very easy to hang up on. So I want to call out the press on all sides about this bull crap Dick Cheney endorsement. You'd think that Dick Cheney was out there with his heart in his shoulder bag, which he has... He has that battery-powered thing that keeps his heart going if he's still alive. Yeah, yeah, it is amazing how long this guy can live But it wasn't Dick Cheney! He didn't come out and say that

CHAPTER 18 / 47 Discussion

Dick Cheney Kamala Harris Endorsement, Liz Cheney Interview

During a Texas Tribune interview, Liz Cheney announced that her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, will be voting for Kamala Harris. The announcement is noted for its brevity and the irony of Democrats embracing a figure they previously criticized heavily during the Iraq War era.

dick cheney· liz cheney· kamala harris· texas tribune· endorsement

57:56 Oh, this happened in Texas at the... what was this? The Texas Tribune interview of his daughter. Dick Cheney your father a beloved figure among Democrats for many many years do you if you know who he will be supporting or who we'll be voting for would you care to share with us who he might be voting for? Dick Cheney will be voting for Kamala Harris That's the extent of the so-called Dick Cheney endorsement. I thought there was a press release that came out from Dick Cheney saying he would support Kamala. Well, I haven't seen it. I've only seen headlines and then... It was in tweet maybe? Yeah. You're on — people are calling for an intervention of your ex usage

58:47 They're very concerned. As long as my numbers go up and they have been going up, I'm keeping it up this is good for the show So you know we already come on there's funny stuff in there yeah there is funny stuff We just worried that you're too caught up in it people love you John that's why no just want to make sure you're okay blink twice I can handle it. Anyway... So we finished the whole series of Veep with Julia Louis-Dreyfus and i've been looking at all these parallels with Kamala Harris And there was near the end, she's doing this negotiation with the Chinese and it turns out the campaign manager she hired is working for the Chinese and they kill her ex-husband. So throughout the thread of the entire back end of the series, her PR guy stupid Mike who is stupid he's trying to adopt a kid from China

CHAPTER 19 / 47 Discussion

China Ends Foreign Adoptions, Retaliation Theories

The Chinese government announced it is ending most foreign adoptions of Chinese children, leaving hundreds of American families in limbo. While official reasons cite a falling domestic birth rate, the move is interpreted as potential diplomatic retaliation against U.S. policies.

china· adoption· state department· birth rate· diplomacy

59:48 And they're at Camp David when she's temporarily president and she pisses off the Chinese. Then all of a sudden, you know the Chinese say we've now stopped all adoptions of children from China! Well this story pops up today... China says it is ending most foreign adoptions of Chinese children. The announcement puts hundreds of American and other foreign families with pending application, their adoption in limbo. The only exceptions would be for foreigners adopting the children or stepchildren of blood relatives in China since the early 90s. The country has sent tens of thousands of adoptees overseas

1:00:27 With about half arriving in the US, for decades China only allowed couples to have one child. Forcing many families to put their children up for adoption but you slow down a falling birth rate the government reversed policy No I don't think so! I think that this is... This was a couple of days ago by the way Yeah i know It's retaliation Wait so today? Huh? Okay I'm just getting the timeline correct Thank You It's retaliation. They don't want whatever Kamala is doing with China, they don't like it which could be By the way you used kind of I think you may be light-hearted when you say that but I Two people are trying to adopt kids You might be right well Did he really upsets? I mean people who are into adopting kids because for one reason or another sometimes they can have kids they have to adopt Are there like kids no seriously yeah

Quantum Computing Export Controls, ASML and Samsung

The U.S. Commerce Department implemented new export restrictions on technology related to quantum computing and advanced microchips to prevent China from advancing its military capabilities. The Netherlands and its chip-equipment giant ASML have agreed to follow these guidelines, further tightening the global supply chain for high-end semiconductors.

quantum computing· export controls· asml· samsung· china

1:01:20 They will, this is cutting off one a stream of possible kids that they can raise. A stream of kids? Well it could be because of the export controls that were announced you heard about this I'm not sure. Well, it's from NTD so you know when it's about China... It must be true! Must be true and it also hits on another one of my favorite topics Washington has a new plan for stemming the flow of advanced microchips to Beijing The Commerce Department came out with new rules Thursday From now on companies looking to export technology and tools related to quantum computing have to apply for export licenses Oh, Quantum Computing? You don't say

1:02:02 Hey, are we pivoting? The new restrictions are meant to prevent Beijing from using that technology to advance its own military. Semiconductors are critical to military power as they're required for the most advanced weapons and equipment. The guidelines didn't name China but they expand similar restrictions that the US previously put in place The rules are effective immediately. The expert controls cover a number of things, quantum computing items advanced tools for making microchips and a piece of key technology used in chips for supercomputers Samsung has started using this technology to make one of the globe's most advanced chips

1:02:41 Though there are exemptions, friendly countries like Japan already have their own export controls. So entities in those countries are not subject to the new U.S. export controls. Washington's new action comes after China found new ways to get around restrictions So quantum computing no longer AI which I found interesting Now that Nvidia is crashing. Yeah, I know it's up a hundred percent over year-over-year but still bringing down the whole market and They've coerced they've coerced the Dutch into this like hey you ASML Dutch guys You're not gonna export right?

1:03:20 Because you know quantum computing is important for advanced weaponry. The US previously banned Chinese companies from getting their hands on certain powerful AI chips, but some Chinese firms have been able to utilize computing power generated from these chips with a workaround by using US cloud computing companies like Amazon Web Services the Commerce Department said it expects to see similar expert restrictions from friendly countries the Netherlands is following Washington's footsteps and The country is home to the world's leading supply of microchip producing equipment, ASML. The gear allows companies to mass produce advanced chip sets. On Friday that Dutch government said it would expand export licensing requirements for some of ASMLs chip making equipment. Yeah that's right shut up dutchies do what we say I just thought it was interesting that you know you banned the supply of kids from China

1:04:14 Right around the same time that you put export restrictions on quantum computing chips is quantum computing really one chip All I see is nobody knows what it is. How do these spaceship things that you see Google Quantum? You wish and she like wish it was one ship that worked yeah, of course It's not yeah that worked Exactly the work that worked the word worked. Yeah is the key here I love even though we've been bullshitted into thinking it does well, I'm extremely scared I mean you may be skeptical about AI Totally but the quantum computing is a non-starter just as skeptical of Quantum as I am of AI my question is who?

CrowdStrike Windows Update Theory, Pirate Software Podcast

A theory from the Pirate Software Podcast suggests the massive CrowdStrike outage may have been exacerbated by a secondary Windows update that changed system configurations after the initial CrowdStrike patch. This raises questions about legal liability between Microsoft and CrowdStrike regarding the global IT disruption that grounded flights and impacted hospitals.

crowdstrike· windows· microsoft· azure· pirate software

1:04:59 is our first. Who is making these so-called quantum chips? What company?" I have no idea, they kind of hinted Samsung's got something to do with this although that same assertion about Samsung could apply to AI chips the way they said it was vague... It's vague! I'm just gonna stick with the technology for a moment. We have a lot of dudes named Ben out there and do debts named Bernadette who maintain many systems of the Windows variety This goes back to the CrowdStrike bug that brought down the entire world for a little bit Stopped hospitals from operating stopped airlines from flying except for Southwest

1:05:45 The team over at the Pirate Software Podcast had an interesting deconstruction, which I'd like to know if you saw this happen and you can probably go back in the logs and check within your own IT infrastructure. So the interesting thing that I'm kind of waiting on right now is you have Windows and you've CrowdStrike, right? Initially, I believe that CrowdStrike is at fault for this. And the reason why it's because CrowdStrike pushed an update And then everything broke in Windows because this update was in place only for CrowdStrike related machines. But it's not that simple, Windows pushed an update and CrowdStrike pushed an update and everything was fine. Apparently Windows has then pushed another update and then everything broke. Now the interesting part about this is that the machines were fine initially under these configuration and windows changing their configuration caused this problem to occur

1:06:37 Which then leads into a really weird legal territory, which is whose fault is this? Is it Windows' fault because they changed that configuration should they have changed that configuration or is the CrowdStrike's fault because it caused the system to die under that configuration. That wasn't the initial one that they pushed that update on usually inside of the tech space we would blame the individualized program not the operating system The operating system would not be at fault here but legally speaking We don't know So I thought this was fascinating. It happened on a Friday, which is not typical for Windows update. No they always happen on Tuesdays and the thing is...I find it peculiar that he keeps saying Windows instead of Microsoft Yeah, I didn't like that either But Windows is not a company! But that could just be semantics so what what he's saying is that windows pushed an update

1:07:32 CrowdStrike pushed an update and everything was fine, but then Windows pushed another. And remember we had that Azure outage which was really odd? We don't quite understand the timing of that, which you would think is Windows machines. Who knows? It's probably all running Linux. Remember Hotmail was running on Linux? Remember that? Microsoft bought it and said oh my god we gotta recode the whole thing. Gotta put it on NT! So I'd like to know are dudes named Ben out there let me know if you have any evidence that happens because that would change some potential liability

PBS Family Planning Report, Kamala Harris Policy Promotion

A PBS series on family planning is characterized as a promotional piece for Kamala Harris's policy platform. Interviewees cited economic instability, lack of universal childcare, and climate change as reasons for not having children, aligning with Harris's campaign focus on government-subsidized care and environmental issues.

pbs· family planning· child care· climate change· kamala harris

1:08:11 Or not. It's EULAs, you know? Or not. Hmm I haven't heard that particular...I like the idea of it so what else are these guys talking about? I think we should listen to this podcast. Uh it's a little tedious um yeah because there's four guys and they're yucking it up and they're all talking together and they're drawing on white boards and um it's The Pirate Software Podcast. Yeah good guys! I like them. I like what they did there All right, let's see what we got here. Let's go with you just brought this up that you brought up the issue of the Chinese adoption so might as well go to the

1:08:52 A series that was done on PBS, actually an exposition on family planning that I thought was kind of interesting because it has a kicker. Last year the US birth rate hit our record low but data suggests that over the past 30 years the number of adults who want or wish they had children has remained relatively stable So why aren't they having children or expanding their families? Ali Rogin explores some of the complexities of today's family planning. Over the past few weeks, we've been speaking with Americans who say they want to have a child or grow their families about why they're hesitant to do so. Their answers were varied and complex just like the solutions they said would help them change their minds

1:09:34 Grow your family reminds. Oh, thanks I stopped it here thinking well this might be an interesting report then it turns out that you should listen and listen and listen It is just a pro as a Kamala Harris promotional piece of course I always wanted kids I love before you play this second part they cuts into interviews with just a random, they have a person then they say boy they don't like having kids and another person. There's one after the other after the other after the other and you can start to hear the Kamala Harris promotion within what these people are complaining about. None of them by the way look like they ever, I'm sorry none

1:10:15 None of them look like they want to have kids anyway, but okay. I always wanted kids and love kids but economically i don't really know anyone who can swing it anymore even parents that are working full time they can afford child care they dont have a village to help raise them Im grateful we are in like stable financial situation Still, it's difficult to raise a child. We don't have any family close by. We have friends who also have kids. Is she Chinese? Is this is this a Chinese lady? She was Spanish Oh So they are all so busy taking care of their families It's difficult we don't-we don't have anyone

1:10:53 Every year there comes out a new statistic of whether or not we've hit the turning point for climate change. And that's something that I take into consideration when it comes to starting a family, because I don't want to raise a child in a world that every year gets closer and closer to becoming uninhabitable. So Kamala Harris' climate change? OK, you better bring it home in The Kicker! Well, let's bring it home in the kicker. If universal child care was an option and we didn't have to worry about that if universal health care was an option and you know I wouldn't have to wonder if I can anticipate regular maternal care high quality maternal care while I was pregnant then yeah, we absolutely would've made a effort to expand our family for sure

1:11:43 Yes, because of course that's the $6000. That's exactly her two main things is you know having universal child care because you can't keep your own child so we have to have somebody else do you want the government to take care your child and you want the government to take over the medical system? So there you go there's that's the Camelot thing it went on and if I played the whole thing she'd start to hear it now It's all about Camelot. And you know Sir Brian Baron of the Connecticut River Valley He went searching for the 19 million new business applications, which I love because that's what Time Talent Treasure is all about. Yeah totally! We have the best producers in the universe he says ah i found it The so-called new business application In the $19 million claim Is filing a form SS4 to obtain an employer identification number from the IRS

Super Typhoon Yagi, Climate Change Narrative

Super Typhoon Yagi, the most powerful storm in Asia this year, battered southern China, the Philippines, and Vietnam with winds exceeding 230 km/h. Media reports attributed the storm's intensity to warmer ocean temperatures caused by climate change, a narrative the hosts view as a standard media template for all weather events.

1:12:42 Of which of course, you know 10 million will probably never do anything with it. So it's a little specious. That's a good catch! Yeah! Congratulations on that. Which I thought was a very good catch. More BS. And that's not exactly new business filing but okay we'll take it... We'll take it Brought up climate change. Do you mind if I... Yeah, good! I got some climate change clips. I'll start it off with the latest climate change. This is what Asia's most powerful storm so far this year looks like maximum sustained winds in excess of 230 kilometers per hour battered southern China

1:13:25 damaging everything in its path from buildings to trees. At least two people were killed and dozens injured in Hainan province. Hundreds of thousands of homes were left without power, transport links were suspended schools closed and millions of people were told to avoid going out. Yagi has doubled in strength from tropical storm to super typhoon since it hit the Philippines earlier this week killing more than a dozen people there. A super typhoon has the same damaging effects as a category 5 hurricane China, Vietnam and Laos are all in its path Scientists say typhoons are becoming stronger and more frequent as a result of warmer ocean temperatures due to climate change Due to climate change There it is! Due to climate change It's all climate change Everything is climate change It's all climate change You know

Arizona Heat Wave, 100 Days of Triple Digits

Phoenix, Arizona, recorded over 100 consecutive days with temperatures at or above 100 degrees Fahrenheit. The persistent heat dome over the Southwest has led to a record number of heat-related injuries and deaths, though the hosts argue that extreme summer heat in the desert is a historical norm rather than a new phenomenon.

phoenix· arizona· heat wave· heat dome· weather

1:14:18 Of course we have some kind of... They've never had a super typhoon before. You know, I was in Taiwan once during the typhoon And it was interesting. Oh, there you go! Okay... John's story time So I went to a department store to do some shopping as this thing was coming in before we get back to the hotel and now i've never had quite this experience before but it started raining so you couldn't- It was like the rain was like deep fog You couldn't see five feet in front of ya But you had to make a run for it to get to a taxi to get out of there

1:14:55 one step, I can still remember this one step into it to get out of the store soaked from head-to-foot in like 1 second. Shoes ruined just instantly and it's quite fascinating to get that wet that fast is like jumping into a pool. And did people point at you and say due to climate change? No everybody yes they all said climate change lot of broken umbrellas let's put it that way oh yeah well that'll happen So I guess the western part of, the southwestern part of the United States. We've got Arizona and we have Los Angeles. The heat dome moved over there also known as summer in Texas has been written how about that? We were, we're been to Mexico it's very humid but its

1:15:45 84 degrees, you know it's nice. It's beautiful weather. Hawaii weather yeah and a Texas 72 74 rain cold for Texas for the hill country the heart of Texas So I don't know how the averages work but she obviously got to know it's the hottest year on record. The hottest year on record. It is likely to hit 108 degrees today in Phoenix Arizona Which is tomorrow. And the next day! That's nothing! That's low for Phoenix, Arizona I have been to Phoenix in the summer like now and it's unbelievably hot You can't even get back into your car if you have to leave it outside. You can't get back into it. Try to open the door with a napkin or something because you'll burn your hand on the door handle

1:16:40 You get the door open, you reach in and turn your... put the key into the ignition. Anyone in Arizona knows this. Put the key in the ignition, start it up the car and turn on the air conditioner and wait five to ten minutes before getting in. And this is where us being somewhat older or as they say in Mexico, añejo It's also the name of an aged tequila. Well, that's why I brought it up. Añejo. We like fine-aged tequila. We know that this is nothing new. I've been to Arizona as a kid. It was hot! I've been to Nevada... It was really hot! As kids we went to—I remember our parents took us—we were in Vegas and I don't remember why but it must have been nine

1:17:28 So a good 51 years ago, and we literally did the old oh let's boil an egg. Let's fry an egg on the pavement! And it worked you know? It's... so anyway it's horrible. It's 108 in Phoenix Arizona This past Tuesday, Phoenix officially recorded a record-breaking 100 straight days of heat at or above 100 degrees Fahrenheit. And since the heat dome over the southwest has not budged that record is likely to continue to go up Today will be 104 days of 100 degree weather and more than half of those days have been higher than 110 degrees. Record-breaking heat in recent years has also caused a record number of heat related injuries, illnesses and deaths across the globe

Biological Effects of Extreme Heat, MSNBC Thermoregulation Segment

An MSNBC segment explaining the biological process of thermoregulation and the dangers of heat stroke is mocked for its simplistic tone. The report detailed how the body sweats and moves blood to the skin's surface, warning that core temperatures above 104 degrees can lead to organ failure and death.

msnbc· thermoregulation· heat stroke· biology· sweating

1:18:16 The World Health Organization estimates that half a million people worldwide die from heat-related causes each year. Here in the United States, hospitals have seen dramatic increases in heat injuries like severe burns from sunbaked pavement and metal, heat related delirium and heat stroke. So obviously dramatic increase is the same as saying 50% increase over what? We don't know we don't know what the baseline is And we know that people who burn themselves on the pavement are usually drug addicts who are passing out and burning on the pavements. But doesn't matter, you know. You're just walking around and you burn yourself on the pavement that's the impression they give us but you should know what happens to your body when it exposes itself to extreme heat What does your body do when it exposes itself? To extreme heat John well usually my body doesn't expose itself I have some control over it

1:19:15 And... and, uh... it usually sweats maybe. Or it decides to go inside or find some shade Does your body decide to do that? On its own. You've got a great body! In extreme heat, those temperature regulation systems are hard at work. First your body attempts thermoregulation by moving blood flow outward toward the surface of the skin

1:19:59 The heart rate quickens, blood vessels dilate to release heat. The skin becomes flushed. Then your body begins to sweat. Oh wow! He's explaining sweating this is great What kind of morons listen to this? MSNBC viewers who think everything is due to climate change By the way the same thing happens when you're in the sauna Flush then your body begins to sweat As sweat evaporates, it carries heat off the body in an attempt to cool it. But if its really hot especially if its hot and humid these thermoregulation systems that we've developed won't be enough Oh no! Go inside go inside quick The heart will continue to beat fast putting strain on cardiovascular systems The skin will continue to sweat depleting your body of water and essential electrolytes Ohhh I need electrolyte Electrolytes I need electrolytes quick

1:20:53 Dehydration will set in. Go have a drink of water! Maybe. Excessive sweating will cause an imbalance of fluids and salts in the human system, muscles will cramp they'll feel weak your heart will keep working harder the kidneys which help filter waste and manage fluid in your body become strained Wow this is so good I feel weak my kidneys... what should I do? As your body loses water, the volume of body in your water decreases. So does your blood pressure! Oh no... The blood thickens as it loses moisture. The heart then has to work- My blood is thickening I'm slowing down. I don't think i can make it inside for a drink of water. It's even harder to pump blood into the brain because less blood means less oxygen to the brain which causes lightheadedness confusion dizziness even fainting Like our president

1:21:46 When unable to regulate, your body's core temperature rises rapidly. If your body's core temperature nears 104 degrees, it reaches the threshold for heat stroke with that strain on the heart, on the brain, on the kidneys and the liver All that's happening now is that your risk of organ failure has increased. My organs are failing! If your body hits a core temperature of 107 degrees, your body's proteins begin to break down. There is irreversible damage to cells and vital organs...

Copernicus Institute, Biden Heat Plan and Project 2025

The European Union's Copernicus Climate Change Service reported that the summer of 2024 was the hottest on record. In response, the Biden administration announced a national heat plan to protect workers. Critics claim the "Project 2025" blueprint seeks to dismantle the EPA and NOAA, which would eliminate the primary agencies tracking climate data.

1:22:23 comes death. Death, oh no! So this is a very long lead-in to the Copernicus Institute which is this European... they've now become the official word on climate change and temperatures there in the EU funded by the EU But everyone believes in the Copernicus Institute. Extreme heat is even deadlier than hurricanes, tornadoes and floods combined! Really? I don't think that's entirely true... Everything combined would drop you from heat? Yeah, I have a feeling that more people die in hurricanes and stuff but okay... Is there a statistician out there listening to this show we can get some numbers

1:23:12 Last year was the hottest here on record globally and this summer broke last year's record. Just yesterday, the European Union's Copernicus Climate Change Service reported that Summer 2024 was the hottest most humid summer ever recorded on Earth! This summer, The Biden administration announced a heat plan an initiative to help protect workers from excessive heat as well as to fortify communities across the country to handle extreme heat as it becomes more common Their plan includes cooling infrastructure as well as heat information systems to help prepare and protect people from the growing threat of extreme heat. All supported by the National Weather Service, EPA and NOAA, The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Meanwhile, as Trump and some Republicans in Congress continue to deny the existence of human-caused climate change...

1:24:04 He all of a sudden changes from climate change to Trump at the very end when condemning Trump, to human caused climate change. Nowhere in the report so far has it been brought up that they believe it's human cause is just climate change because now this could be a natural phenomenon could because of the Sun could because of the 22 year sun cycle could be sunspots It could be a lot of things but now because you're gonna condemn Trump You slip it in as though that was the factor all along. Very tricky! I would say climate change is caused by Project 2025

1:24:43 That's what that's what's going on here Meanwhile as Trump and some Republicans in Congress continue to deny the existence of human-caused climate change The project 2025 blueprint for the next conservative administration wants to gut the EPA it wants to completely dismantle the Weather Service and NOAA Oh no, we won't know if there's climate change then. They want to gut it? They want to eliminate... they want to shut down the EPA completely I don't...I never heard this. It's in Project 2025! No its that stupid project 2025 thing that Trump never read Yes exactly That's what going on

Hurricane Season Calm, Atlantic Ocean Anomalies

Despite predictions of a record-breaking hurricane season, the Atlantic Ocean has remained unusually calm in early September. Forecasters are reportedly "flummoxed" by the lack of storm activity, with some theorizing that ocean temperatures have become so high they are actually inhibiting storm formation.

1:25:24 Oh, well I got a couple of things here. I want to play one is the course we have to play this This is a even it NTD or which seems to be your favorite channel now that you're stealing my material You're stealing my material uh? I just have two just a little bitty climate clip from NTD and this was the feels like oh Feels like temperature, they're even doing it. This week the nation is bracing for a severe heat wave with extreme temperatures anticipated to affect 32 major cities some areas are expected to exceed 105 degrees starting Wednesday A heat advisory has been issued for South Florida including Miami-Dade Broward and the Florida Keys where feels like temperatures could soar to 110 degrees Wednesday afternoon feels like temperatures

1:26:16 Feels like temperatures, you know I've been working with Horowitz for over a decade on the and he lives in Florida And I don't care any Floridian will tell you the same thing. The summers in Florida are miserable Yes So what else is new? Yeah And, CNN reports... It feels like temperature. CNN reports it's early September what should be the busiest stretch of hurricane season Forecasters predicted this was gonna be a bad one storm after storm The most bullish forecast on record Instead the Atlantic Ocean is enveloped in rare and strange calm that has flummoxed forecasters

1:27:00 And recently, here's the... I know if you're reading that. This is fascinating because what's happened and this was reported we didn't have any cutting getting clips of it but about two weeks ago they were wondering where all these damned hurricanes are supposed to have? And the water is warmer than usual now they come up with this bogus theory. They keep theorizing everything's done in a patience old armchair quarterbacking well must be this It's the temperatures have gotten so hot in the oceans that it is confusing. The oceans are confusing? It is confusing, the storms they can't form! I don't know what to do...I'm confused! I think we actually predicted this was gonna happen. Maybe a few months back, oh it's going be the worst September ever you watch climate change it's gonna kill so many people Florida beyond watch horrible

1:27:55 I think we even just out of principle said, no it's not going to happen. You got it right! Just out of principle. They're so full of it that it doesn't take a genius to say oh then that's not gonna happen As an aviator I can tell you that you can predict what's going to happen in a certain area, like an airport weather-wise. You know? Like you could do 24 hours but really 12 hours... ...you could predict that! But you can't predict anything further out than that So it is all horse crap It really is!

West Nile Virus and Bird Flu, Missouri Human Case

Health officials in New Jersey reported deaths from West Nile virus, while the CDC identified a human case of bird flu in Missouri with no known animal contact. The Missouri patient has recovered, and while the risk to the general public remains low, the media is accused of attempting to create a new health scare.

Eastern Equine Encephalitis. Yeah I think actually have a Yeah, I have a clip actually of this. West Nile virus spread by mosquitoes is now deadly in New Jersey. Deadly in New Jersey? The state health department says the deaths were older adults in Cumberland and Mercer counties. Of course! Old people die all the time from disease. He died. Please...

1:29:25 Oh, you're still going that way. No it's okay. You can... oh you have another clip? Play my bird flu. Here is another one same thing bird flu this time bird flu again you left bird flu out! Oh I'm sorry Health officials have identified a person in Missouri sick with bird flu despite having no known contact with animals. Any person?! It marks the first case of the virus in the United States this year not linked to farm work and appears Juliana Kim reports The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that a person in Missouri was hospitalized and treated for bird flu. Unlike other human cases, this patient has no known exposure to a sick animal. Bird flu has been spreading across farms in the United States since the spring So far there have been 14 human cases of the virus and nearly all patients had been linked to sick dairy cows or poultry The CDC says that Missouri patient has recovered and the virus did not appear to have spread to close contacts adding that risk for bird flu to general public remains low

1:30:25 Aside from Missouri, human cases have been reported in Texas Michigan and Colorado. So where do you get it from? Do you get it from another person or a monkey? Well the way I see it who cares! It's one guy out of the blue who got bird flu there are people getting sick or getting shot there is all kinds of news around this is a non-story. They're trying to make it a story well of course I'm gonna make your prediction The on deck for the next solution for climate change will be roundabouts. Roundabouts? Yes, okay you better explain that one! Roundabouts instead... Oh wait a minute let me guess can I guess? Yeah go for it

Roundabouts as Climate Change Solution

A prediction is made that traffic roundabouts will be promoted as a major climate change solution. The logic suggests that roundabouts reduce vehicle idling time compared to four-way stops or traffic lights, thereby lowering greenhouse gas emissions, despite being unpopular with many drivers.

roundabouts· climate change· idling· berkeley· traffic

1:31:11 You go roundabout, you know round about is the thing in the middle of it. They have these in Berkeley they put them in for no good reason as a four-way stop. Climate change! What are we gonna do? We got four way stops I don't know what to do so then they have their roundabouts which are more dangerous and very few people know how to use them correctly but they have many ways so they put one end that's That's because you go round and round around, it creates a vortex which will then change the weather patterns and cause hurricanes and tornadoes in areas where they no longer exist or they never have existed thus far. Well yeah? No first of all it doesn't surprise me that Berkeley has them and I bet if you look into it Berkeley probably had a study done that said people don't idle

1:31:57 at roundabouts, you see. You're not sitting there with your car idling and throwing greenhouse gases into the air waiting for either a four-way stop which is confusing or for a traffic light. Roundabouts will be that I'm telling you... write it down in the book! Roundabouts are going to be the next climate change solution roundabouts.

This seems on par, it seems pretty good particularly for... Low! For a vacation week? What was my...what was the cotton gin? What was the peak? What was the peak? I want to know what the peak was. We have One of our producers that's into it. Cotton gin does that yeah, he hasn't posted it yet. Yeah cotton gin hasn't posted it yet He's probably looking right now. He is doing a statistical analysis of the flow Of roundabouts? Yes! He has all these numbers and stuff like this. Here it is. He sent me an email condemning me for questioning his abilities Well cotton gin is the man 2215 he says was that was the high? No its low The whole thing is low It's low it's low And we had a newsletter fail what happened

1:33:46 I don't know, but i'm looking at alternative news. You blamed Linux! You said Linux did it There is...I got a long note for we have a bunch of guys out there that know what they're doing and he claims that the linux there's a couple of products that linux servers use consistently that are spam blockers and then we get our sites keep coming up in them That's because people report us that's what happens Douchebags you can get off for what being night before telling the truth We're getting to the bottom of things or for condemning Democrats. Yeah, there you go That must be a look at who maintains Linux and we understand

1:34:32 These trolls are listening in the troll room, which you can join at trollroom.io or you can use a modern podcast app You know the one that has transcriptions so you can read along if you're in a foreign country and want to learn some English And like oh what is this word? Oh it's good I get it because we speak clearly as John pointed out earlier By the way, there was some incompatibility with something with the fountain modern podcast app fountain for the live show. Because the way it works is when we send out the bat signal all these modern podcast apps give you an alert.

It's a moving target but you know that's why it's worth the Nobel Peace Prize I heard that this past week Spotify de-platformed an inordinate amount of episodes and podcasts And I'm getting a list What does inordinate mean to you? 10? 100? No, no, 100, 100, I'd say 100 A hundred podcasts?! That's a lot And from what I understand, most of these podcasts were political podcasts. Oh we'd be toast on that platform! You know we used to have a couple... We're not even really political, basically apolitical it just so turns out Yeah yes

1:36:06 that we condemn one side more than the other, although we condemn both sides. In this election, we certainly do. I mean they're demons! Yeah when you got some dipshit like Kamala Harris running for president and people are voting for you... You gotta be honest! What can you do? It's ridiculous! Borderline nuts! You have to be honest with the people that's just a fact We used to have a couple of guys would upload the podcast to YouTube, you remember that? And they'd put just an image in it.

1:36:43 Because someone would report or whatever reason they'd take down that episode and then whoever was doing that their account will get a strike. Yeah, I can see that! So that shows this is the only place we are, the only place we can be And we don't have video so were struggling over here people Linux is against our newsletter You gotta help us out here Doesn't hurt What was I reading here? So I already told you about the nine minutes of ads in front of the Lex Friedman. Oh, so would you consider OnlyFans to be kind of like value for value? Yeah, I would! Did you hear their numbers? You're gonna make me nauseous if you tell me their numbers. Dana Brunetti's wife... Is on OnlyFans?!

1:37:44 No, she's a entertainment lawyer. Oh! And she... She is an heiress to the Bijon fashion fortune. Can she get me a bag? You know, she can't even get me a sweater. Alex is her name I can just see you in a bijou sweater So she's It's Bijan, I think. Whatever! And she is an entertainment lawyer and she just in passing mentioned to me about one of her clients who was having you know an OnlyFans client person. Never mentioned who it was but it's one of our clients and she said that she'd made 10 million dollars last year

1:38:38 Only fans revenue this past year seven billion dollars Unbelievable, yeah Maybe we mean while people bitch about sending us five bucks. Maybe we should maybe you should turn on some cameras take off our shirts You know I don't might be off. You never know it can be in the troll room like flip your hair out of okay no problem Yeah, do anything at this point? No, and yeah. And I'm sure that the $10 million girl, I'm assuming it's a girl is not to top earner. Oh no! I should ask Alex about this but she probably because she's been into it enough She probably knows that the top earners are probably 50-60 million bucks who knows? Well maybe... This is a year Maybe we can get some tips on what to do because if we're doing something wrong

1:39:30 We're not doing anything wrong and we're not, it's just a different type of business. There are some people that have an allure That we lack. Yes, yes I think we like several pieces of allure was to in particular yes exactly two or allures that a lot of these girls have yes and I Think that accounts for a lot of it well We know where the donations are going they're going only fans stop spending your money there send something to the best podcast in the universe. You're not getting a date with those women, hello! John and Adam however will come to clean your house no problem whatsoever instead we have opted for a true value-for-value mug club media The future of media is small people that's how you know I really believe that

1700th Episode Milestone, Carnelian Anniversary Stone

The podcast is approaching its 1700th episode and 17th anniversary. Research into traditional anniversary gifts identifies the 17th-anniversary stone as carnelian, a semi-precious red stone found on beaches in Northern California. The hosts reflect on the longevity of the show and the dedication of their "producer" community.

1:40:26 You know, you'll have these just pockets little pockets of entertainment and people support them. And I'm happy with in general happy with the support we get. I know you're never happy but i'm happy with the support we get now. You can't be. I'm amazed that people support us at all yeah you're shocked sometimes I am like what? What this is actually still hey it will be when is um October right isn't coming up The end of October is our anniversary, but we have before the at the end of this month. We're having our show 1700 Wow and that

1:41:02 That'll be... Oh, that's right. It says seven episodes away! Oh that is the anniversary. Yeah it's coming right up. So we have 1700 and our 17 year anniversary Is that? What kind of stone? One-two punch We usually get some money during this period Not today necessarily but we get some money here and there Is seventeen a particular stone or is it a... A stone?! Yeah like a diamond ruby Or is it a... You know The Book Of Knowledge answered this question I don't have it with me. Somebody in the troll room, the few people that are there... One of them should know what the 17th anniversary stone is! I'd like to know. I am indeed quite interested. The 17th? Coal would be my guess. Kidney? No that doesn't sound right. Kidney Stone is not... That would be an interesting ring though. It's a prime number though. Seventeen is a prime number so there's something there. That's a big deal

1:42:01 Caroline what? Caroline. Carnelian, carnelia or carnelian carnelia yeah carnelian those are the little red stones they actually have met the beaches over here in San Francisco and off the peninsula not the peninsula but Marin County beaches have carnelians in the sand That you can pick up as you walk along so it's not a very valuable stone. That's what you're telling It's pretty though, it's oh the way it works And you've already heard some boots on the ground and we have people We can call upon who help us because if there's one thing about the best podcasting universe we have more and better producers than any other media outlet known to man that's why we can say in the universe and everywhere somebody

1:42:51 has some special knowledge about that one thing. And I think we've successfully trained people that they are producers, not listeners and they need to support us with their time with their talent or with their treasure. And part of that is, of course our Dutch masters who create artwork for every single new show there was a guy who was looking for some logo work on the podcasting 2.0 development group And he says, Adam I really love the artwork you guys do. Who do you use? Like, who do we use? Try listening to the show. You'll figure it out! Yeah really is a I sent him a link to knowagendaartgenerator.com which is where anyone who has talent or none at all can upload art and sometimes the no talents so just the prompt jockeys win and quite big actually although I was looking at them the Tina actually asked me you still have the stats yeah it's still Nick The Rat Martin JJ and then comes Darren O'Neill

1:43:49 And those guys are still at the top for all the episodes they did. Nick uploads something from time to time? Rarely He hasn't really hit it and Martin JJ, is he still alive? Is he stil around I don't see him anywhere anymore Yeah! He posts on Mastodon Oh he does? How do you know? You're not on Mastodon how do you know No this is a...I'm referring back to last time was on Mastodon which was about a year ago and he's posting quite a bit Okay Unless I have him confused with someone else, but I don't think so. I did hear from my birthday. I did hear from Pelsmacher So he's still around Oh good is owner if you listens to the show? I think so Well maybe not. I don't know. I don't know anyway Our fat finally found a new lady and she told them to stop listening as you think that was it That's possible. It's possible. Yeah, it's very common yeah guys would do anything that women tell them to yes see true fans seven billion dollars

Executive Producer Donations, Knighting Ceremony and 33s

A segment dedicated to acknowledging high-tier donors includes a discussion on the recurring appearance of the number 33 in media and the pandemic. A producer from California warns about state efforts to shut down compounding pharmacies, which provide essential treatments like Glutathione for firefighters. The segment concludes with the knighting of "Sir Cotton Gin."

CHAPTER 35 / 47 Discussion

France New Prime Minister, Michel Barnier and Protests

President Emmanuel Macron appointed Michel Barnier as the new Prime Minister of France, sparking protests from the Leftist Coalition. Barnier, a veteran politician and former EU Brexit negotiator, will need support from Marine Le Pen's National Rally party to govern. The situation is described as a potential win for the "far right" despite Macron's efforts to block them.

france· michel barnier· emmanuel macron· marine le pen· brexit

2:02:18 Order! Shut up! Shut up, Snake. Bent out of shape about this guy. Yes, is it France new PM protests? Is that the... That would be it yes. Angry demonstrators from the left turned out across France to protest President Emmanuel Macron's decision to appoint a conservative Prime Minister rather than a candidate from among their ranks and as Eleanor Beardsley reports while no party got a majority The Leftist Coalition got the most votes in snap legislative elections this summer

2:03:05 Voters on the left say they're the ones who kept the far right from taking power, yet their votes are not being respected in the choice of a new prime minister. They accuse Macron of stealing the election. Macron's choice was 70-year old Michel Barnier, a veteran politician who he sees as steady hand for the country after divisive elections. But protesters are demanding a prime minister from the left and that will begin with bringing the retirement age back down to 62. They say their protests will continue." Well this is, and actually I have a follow-on clip to this because i've been following this as well... This is bullcrap!

2:03:45 Because it was really the far right who got most of the votes, but the left—the entire left and center said oh no we're not gonna let you into govern. We're going to all be together even though we hate each other and can't decide on anything. We just don't want new far-right to run the country! And so then they go out in pro—which I think this is actually a kind of good choice for France. Yeah, the guy's pretty even-keeled I think it's a good choice too yeah i mean he but By the way, far right is bullcrap because this guy... Actually I have a Who Is Michel Barnier clip. Who is Michel Barnier? France's new prime minister. Michel Barnier is a member of the Republicans, a right-wing political party The 73 year old is set to be the oldest prime minister in modern France's fifth republic history replacing 34 year old Gabriel Attal who was the youngest

2:04:42 Bania is a seasoned politician with diverse background as foreign agriculture and environment minister in numerous governments. In the world of European politics, however he is better known for his former role as the EU's Brexit negotiator which earned him the nickname Monsieur Brexit. As Brussels top negotiator, Barnier made a name for himself as a strong defender of EU institutions against the UK's nationalist Brexit politicians like Boris Johnson. In 2021 however there came a shift when Barnier ran for the presidency against Macron transitioning from a pro-EU politician to embracing a French nationalist stance He advocated for the superiority of French sovereignty over the EU, offering to develop a non-EU immigration policy. He also opposed the powers of the European Court of Justice and the European Court of Human Rights over the French states. Bania's Republican Party only has 39 deputies out of 577 seats in the National Assembly and will need support from far right leader Marine Le Pen's national rally party. Le Pen has said she would wait for Bania's first policy speech in front of Parliament to decide whether to back him

2:05:46 If she does, it would be a far-right backed government under Macron who has long portrayed himself as the last defense against the rise of Le Pen. The question is... Has Macron handed the far right a major win? You know the French should be delighted. He's a French guy, he is French. Yes, he is for France. He's basically a French guy and they should be delighted with him. No! Globalists hate the French. They hate all these countries they want to be one giant you know Reich Exactly

2:06:26 And if Trump wins, you're going to see the same thing happen in the United States. You are going to see the left nut jobs, the globalists come out and go insane I can guarantee it! They were always like, oh if Trump doesn't win there's gonna be civil war No... If Trump wins they're all gonna go ape crap Or I should say apeshit really Ape crap. I'm so used to saying crap instead of shit that i said ape crap it doesn't sound right um don't you think Absolutely, there's no doubt about it. It is kind of a replay of 2016 although they're going to have to change some of their strategies because we're getting sick of the old arguments and the people that are coming out are the ones that I'm always retweeting or crazy looking people

CHAPTER 36 / 47 Discussion

Television Production Standards, Kristen Welker and Green Screens

A critique of modern television production focuses on Kristen Welker of "Meet the Press," specifically regarding the lack of makeup on her hands compared to her face. The hosts discuss the evolution of broadcast technology from blue screens to green screens and the use of spray-on makeup in contemporary studios.

kristen welker· meet the press· television production· makeup· green screen

2:07:20 look like women or guys, you don't even know what sex they are. And they got big nose rings right in the nostril thing right in the middle of a cow. How many of those people do you really think there are? I don't think there's that many now, but they've had day about there's not a lot, but they have a high profile and then their fundamonic. And there's a lot of teachers that fall into that category is really scary part. It's distressing Okay, I'm going to walk into your beat. I can't help it but this is...it is your beat and I'm taking it down to the depths you have not been able to go before because Kristen Welker who doesn't know her from Meet The Press?

2:08:06 I was watching her this morning and you did those hands of hers. You're like an old black laborer, they're huge in there! They're not made up at all you know? Are supposed to do hand makeup that lighten them up or something yeah it doesn't yellow are out and they don't do anything with their hands We're looking at this purely from a television production standpoint. Yeah, obviously I don't care! Well i'm just making sure everybody understands... But it is distressing to watch it! Either don't use your hands or yellow her up was what John just said okay Well, they yellow her up but they don't do anything with their hands. I know which you know i'm very pale so when they when i was doing tv yeah they would make me up your hands and did the same way always you always tell them that you have to tell the makeup artists to do it

2:08:56 Because I'd rather not, but you tell me. You got to do something with my hands because if you're made up and your darkened a little bit and then you lift your hand it looks like a skeletal hand that's super white. It doesn't work! And so you and they makeup artists always say, oh yes. Yes. Yes That's a good idea You know and by the way these days I mean this is a lot has changed since we were in television John In fact the biggest changes we used to have blue screen now it's green screen people that's how old we are I remember when it was blue screen Blue screen was the original key. Yeah, the original key color but nowadays they don't have pancake makeup they have spray it's a spray on and you just go and spray right on so they could easily spray their hands it'll take 30 seconds to spray the hands anyway

CHAPTER 37 / 47 Discussion

Georgia School Shooting, Parent Liability and Criminal Foreseeability

Colin Gray, the father of a Georgia school shooter, faces murder and involuntary manslaughter charges for allegedly gifting his son an AR-15 after being interviewed by the FBI. Legal analysts describe this as a "sea change" in American law toward "criminal foreseeability," where parents are held responsible for the reckless disregard of risks posed by their children.

georgia· school shooting· colin gray· fbi· criminal negligence

2:09:54 Yes, so I am diving into a trend which you identified months and months ago as something new. Something that is probably well that has always been the question is it even constitutional? And here's the opening salvo 54 year old father Colin Gray faces 14 charges including four counts of involuntary manslaughter two counts of second-degree murder and eight counts of cruelty to children of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation saying the father quote knowingly allowed his son to possess a weapon. Law enforcement sources telling NBC News he gifted his son an AR-15 style rifle after both of them were interviewed in May of 2023 by the FBI in connection with threats to carry out a school shooting. Colin Gray's arrest comes just months after James and Jennifer Crumbley became the first parents to be convicted for a school shooting committed by their child

2:10:48 Their son killed four students in Oxford, Michigan in 2021. So you identified this right away as a new trend which is lock the parents up for the things that the kids have done and we've seen... Right and I to go further I believe it to be a racist trend because I think their long-term target is the black family That's right, I'd forgotten about that. Yes and i believe this is just opening salvos so you can say well we did it to whites now we can do with the blacks and they're going when they go after the black family especially those single moms who raise a bunch of kids that aren't or not well

2:11:28 well-behaved, let's put it that way. It's going to cause issues but they're gonna back it up with doing it to the white families at least one or two more then you're gonna see it happen and this is gonna cause nothing but trouble so of course this was politicized I'm actually gonna skip that Joe Biden like oh there are guns in America! JD Vance fact of life gotta arm those teachers we got to make sure no one comes But more important and more interesting to myself, you and the show is how does this work? How does this work legally? Danny let me turn to you. The charges against the suspects father are unusual but not unprecedented what do you make of them and put them into context for us if you can

2:12:16 We're in a moment in American history where it seems like there is a sea change for all of American history we have not held parents criminally responsible For the crimes of their children unless they participate or facilitate the crime this is a a major change in that we are charging parents with murder, in this case not intentional murder. This is a version of reckless murder Not all murders statutes or crimes are intentional murder sometimes if you are reckless you can be charged with depraved heart style murder uh... reckless murder criminal negligence and that's exactly what's going on here the father is being charged

2:12:55 It's just like reckless murder, like when they killed Gary Weaver up there in this compound. Killed his wife with a sniper. Just a FBI sniper shot his wife who had nothing to do with anything. Killed her dad and the dog? That was law enforcement But stand by... It's different. It's lawfare to the highest degree, it's coming up. That's exactly what's going on here. The father is being charged with under Georgia law you can be charged with second-degree murder as a result of cruelty to children that's a separate criminal statute that requires criminal negligence and some kind of harm to a child and that

2:13:36 criminal negligence is defined as essentially recklessness, consciously disregarding a known risk. And that's where the FBI tape comes in because the government is going to use that to show he was aware of the risk well in advance and failed to act properly." So I love this because the FBI did nothing They failed to act properly, but the parent is now to blame because they failed to act properly even though law enforcement was called in and this morning I even read that the mother had sent or had called the school and said you like imminent threat. So Danny help us just

2:14:16 break down some of these charges. There are second degree murder charges, they're apparently based on the cruelty to children charges. Break that down with how they differ from the eight counts of cruelty to children charges? He's being separately charged with cruelty to children but that particular section of the murder statute, second-degree murder requires a predicate of cruelty to children. So while it's a freestanding charge by itself, it is also the predicate to second-degree murder works like this secondary murderer is defined as in this case cruelty to children plus a death resulting from that cruelty to children then you go to the cruelty statute and now requires some harm to a child as a result

2:15:00 of criminal negligence or recklessness. And then you go to the definition of recklessness and that's what it is, it's consciously disregarding a known risk. You're also going to need what's called proximate cause in other words foreseeability was the criminal negligence here not only the actual cause of death but was it foreseeable? That's very interesting concept in modern era because now appears that unlike most American history modern juries may be willing to accept that it is foreseeable if you have a troubled child and that child has access to a gun, that a horrific school shooting may result. We may be in a new era of criminal foreseeability. Criminal foreseeability?

2:15:44 Wow, pre-crime. Totally! Let's talk about this new era because of course the Crumblies in Michigan again their son charged with a school shooting as well put all of this into context and that sea change that we witnessed when the crumblies were convicted Yes, exactly. Even though it's not precedential in the sense that it is only a trial court in Michigan and of course this case is in Georgia It doesn't have legal precedent but it certainly has spiritual precedent in the sense that prosecutors now watch the Crumlin case they know they may have to deal with horrific school shooting in their jurisdiction and it is likely a form of inspiration

2:16:27 that you can use a recklessness theory against a parent and convict them. And it's important to note that not all states have the same laws when it comes to securing firearms or locking them up and keeping them away from children That isn't necessary. This is a straight criminal recklessness statute You could apply it to driving a car you could apply it to owning a firearm so prosecutors will not be limited So much by all these different statutes about keeping firearms locked up if they can show that there was recklessness That a risk was disregarded and resulted in the death They've got enough to go forward can this also applied to your spouse or?

2:17:07 Yeah, I was like... Well Adam always had a lot of guns around the house. You could go with this. I think this is a trend and it's going to happen and actually i'm surprised that mom has who was a fentanyl or crackhead. I don't know what something's wrong with her they should have been brought into the uh they're separated so I guess they can it's gonna be harder to prove But the mom should have been arrested too, it seems to me. This is just... My thoughts on this began with a number of years ago when it was announced that somebody who did a shooting, a similar kind of shooting in Latvia or Lithuania someplace like that and they immediately arrested the parents. It wasn't even second thought about it. I remember. And as soon as I heard all you know this has got it, this is obvious what you do

Boeing Starliner Return, Astronauts Stuck in Space

The Boeing Starliner returned to Earth empty after thruster issues and helium leaks were deemed too risky for the crew. Astronauts Butch Wilmore and Sonny Williams remain on the International Space Station and are scheduled to return on a SpaceX Dragon capsule in February 2025, extending their 10-day mission to eight months.

boeing· starliner· nasa· spacex· astronauts

2:17:57 It's an anti-crime idea. How will that also apply to podcast partners? If you just go eventually Eventually, but it's years away. That's I wouldn't worry about it We're getting there Okay, shooting any place that you're the one to be shooting some what plays something here What I'm saying is yarn do the teeth in Texas? You shouldn't worry about it as what you meant to say don't worry about it for now Yeah, I should worry about yet or more yes yet hang in there four more years um Boeing continues to be in the news, this time with the Starliner. It was just about midnight Eastern Time when Starliner's three main chutes lit up in the night sky over New Mexico. Touchdown! Starliner is back on Earth A ten-day mission that turned into a three month stay at the International Space Station coming to a partial conclusion

2:18:55 It's great to have the Starliner home. A safe and successful landing was exactly what we wanted." Staying behind on the station, astronauts Butch Wilmore and Sonny Williams who this week prepped their spaceship to return home empty. Of course it is bittersweet to be packing up Starliner. We want to do the best that we can make sure she is in good shape so we want her to have a nice soft landing in the desert Starliner launched June 5th on a 10-day test flight, but helium leaks and engine thruster problems have kept Williams and Wilmore on the space station for 93 days. Haunted by the Columbia disaster that killed seven astronauts NASA decided not to risk putting the crew back on Starliner. NASA has decided that Butch and Sonny will return with Crew 9

2:19:44 Next February. That SpaceX Crew 9 mission will launch later this month with two astronauts rather than four Williams and Wilmore will take the empty seats on return until then running science experiments and doing cardio and strength exercises during their extended stay on station, their 10-day mission now extended to eight months There's a lot of great theories out there in the conspiracy circles about this event My favorite house- I would like to hear a few. Oh, they're dead! I think that's a bit much. Yeah, from they're dead to they actually didn't go to space they were down in the oceans working on different project and their trapped and can get out there is lot of great theories out there That sounds like nothing but fun. Yeah i like it! I would like to know if... let assume these are all bull crap and not dead stuck up there come back with Elon Musk device

2:20:50 The question that nobody's, if I'm a journalist. I'm asking this question how much are they getting paid? Are they getting overtime for being stuck in this because they're supposed to go up and come back and their test pilots working for Boeing is Boeing paying them like a bonus or Because they don't seem to be complaining about it if they're up in the space station. They seem to be running, you know her hair is sticking out every which way and she's having a good time there. That's what you do in the fake space station. You make your hair look static If you were in this station and you were making hundreds of thousands of dollars in overtime because now I have to pay you 24-7 which means there's time and half double time triple time who knows what Yeah

2:21:37 I'd be happy to. They don't complain, but does anyone ask this question and why don't they ask this question? What compensation are they getting financially for being stuck up there? For the same reason you're getting compensated as a podcaster instead of a journalist with The Mainstream I probably make more money as a podcaster than I do as a journalist. Journalists don't make anything! It's just, it's a pathetic industry is a pathetic business and most of the journalists unless you're on network TV and you're making millions which is rare group most of the writers are just starving to death or they had side hustles as sub-sec writers... And this another thing that word side hustle bothers me to no end. I brought it up for you just to get you riled up I know that you hate that

2:22:28 It's like a hustle means you're scamming. To me, I'm a hustler. I'm scamming somebody so in other words you're working for a living and you've got to side hustle which means to me it means your criminal. If someone says I gotta side hustle do as a side hustled. This is a criminal activity that only thing that my definition of it a hustle. I mean, you don't have any pushback on me saying now you're foolish crap? No. As you would say... I'm with you! I think you're absolutely right side hustle is a bad term. I think so. Yeah do you okay what would you prefer it to be called so we can address this appropriately Second job? Second job! But it is! Weekend gig there you go um now Boeing has finally caught a break

Airbus A350 Engine Problems, Cathay Pacific Inspections

Cathay Pacific grounded its fleet of Airbus A350s for inspections after an engine component failed during a flight to Zurich. The issue was traced to a fuel nozzle in the Rolls-Royce engines. While not an Airbus design flaw, the incident provides a brief PR reprieve for Boeing amidst its own safety crises.

airbus· cathay pacific· rolls royce· engines· aviation

2:23:26 and not widely reported so they've got to step up the PR boys. The world's biggest airlines is cancelling dozens of flights over concerns about possible engine problems. Cathay Pacific is inspecting its entire fleet of Airbus A350s after part an engine failed on a flight from Hong Kong to Zurich. The plane was forced to return to Hong Kong and landed safely. Cathay Pacific says repair work is now underway across its entire fleet of A350s CNN's Hannah Ziadi is on the story for us, and Hannah Cathay Pacific now making repairs as it inspects these models. How concerned

2:24:08 should consumers and other airlines be at this point, that this could be a wider issue? Vicky it's unclear at this stage. I think the answer to that is there are some concerns and clearly several other airlines fly A350s and have engines that could have this issue. Qatar is among them, Etihad British Airways Virgin Atlantic, Rolls Royce which is the engine maker that makes the engines on these planes has said that it's keeping airlines fully informed of developments but hasn't yet told airlines to stop flying uh... the planes as far as we understand. Rolls-Royce hasn't commented on exactly what the issue is

2:24:44 with the engine Reuters citing people familiar with the matter said it relates to a fuel nozzle which experts say is generally less serious of a problem than the failure of a major rotating part of the plane such as a turbine blade but clearly this could be very disruptive for airlines and certainly, as you alluded in the beginning it has been very disruptive for Cathay Pacific which has had to cancel some 34 flights between Monday and Wednesday as it attends to this problem. So not exactly an Airbus issue, but if I was Boeing... Not at all! But if I was Boeing, I'd be out there saying see? Airbus no good

New York City Mayor Eric Adams, FBI Raids and Corruption

FBI agents raided the homes of several top deputies to New York City Mayor Eric Adams, seizing electronic devices from the police commissioner and schools chancellor. The investigation is reportedly separate from a long-running probe into illegal campaign donations from Turkish officials, pointing toward broader allegations of nepotism and corruption within the administration.

eric adams· fbi· new york city· corruption· turkey

2:25:23 At least for the public, at least for the public. The public you know there's no website... They don't want to draw attention to themselves. Well maybe they got enough problems with it with the dead astronauts I hear ya It's a real problem and then this news which is just not getting Not really getting the attention it deserves, here's the teaser. The FBI raided the homes of several New York City Mayor Eric Adams top deputies federal agencies electronic devices from the police commissioner the school's chancellor and two deputy mayors None of the officials have been charged with a crime. The raids come nearly a year after federal agents seized the mayor's electronic devices in a federal corruption investigation involving alleged donations made by Turkish officials to his campaign.

2:26:13 Saw this report come through. I thought it was old and like didn't that already happen, but this is a continuation and ABC This morning had Had more details which kind of helps us a little bit in understanding what's happening It seems like a lot of nepotism And all kinds of stuff going on here the Queen's home of the city's deputy mayor of of public safety. Philip B afternoon, shutters drawn a search early Wednesday m Heights home of the first right? Another one of New Y Adams closest aids and frie

2:26:51 also raided by the FBI. Wright shares a home with her partner, New York City Schools Chancellor David Banks, Deputy Mayor Banks' brother. Sources say the FBI seized evidence including electronics as part of an ongoing investigation Federal agents have previously raided the homes of several other associates of Mayor Adams who even turned over his own electronic devices to the FBI last fall and received his own subpoena last month. The fact that these subpoenas and documents have been seized, the homes raided of people very close to the mayor should give everyone pause but it's a long stretch between people around the mayor being subpoenaed and the mayor being in trouble In a statement, the Mayor's Chief Counsel said quote investigators have not indicated to us the mayor or his staff are targets of any investigation

2:27:38 As a former member of law enforcement, the mayor has repeatedly made clear that all members of the team need to follow the law. A source says the searches do not appear to be related to the long-running corruption investigation into whether Mayor Adams' campaign accepted donations from Turkey in exchange for favors. So this turkey thing is it keeps popping up and it's only really been the most recent reports that are talking about it I don't know what's going on. What is not mentioned, and I think your NOA agenda show should mention because it's unavoidable is that all of those implicated are so-called black people as Mo would say or people of color. That's what he wouldn't say No! He would say so called black people Yeah, he hates the term people of color But there's something to be said about that in this case

2:28:32 There seems like a lot of nepotism going on in New York, and I know from the New York... Wait a minute. Let's stop for a second. Let me step back and try to comprehend the notion that corruption exists in New York City! I know what's going on? I don't know what to make of it But with Turkey, I mean is that an heir to one thing is I mean this This is like this reminds me of the I don't have a clip but Kamala they were talking about how and she had collected 350 million dollars in small donations Last month as opposed to Trump's 140 million. Oh seems like a lot of money no matter who gets it now

Michael Shellenberger in Brazil, BRICS and Currency Status

Journalist Michael Shellenberger traveled to Brazil to protest for free speech, citing the Brazilian Constitution's guarantee of free thought. The discussion links the crackdown on X to broader geopolitical tensions involving the BRICS nations and potential threats to the U.S. dollar's status as the global reserve currency.

michael shellenberger· brazil· brics· reserve currency· free speech

2:34:47 And I just have a couple of clips. I couldn't get anything from the mainstream US media, so i had to go to an old favorite WION. Thank you for defending our freedom red banners in praise of X as hundreds of supporters former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro hit streets they demanded the dismissal of justice Alexandre de Moraes who last week ordered XP banned in Brazil after the platform fails to comply with orders to block some accounts accused of spreading fake news. This after Bolsonaro urged Brazilians to avoid official Independence Day parades and instead join him in Sao Paulo. Alright, so that doesn't really tell us anything but what was interesting is that Michael Schellenberger went to Brazil

2:35:36 to specifically make sure he protested the freedom of speech in Brazil. Now, Schellenberger... What? Oh yeah! Oh please Well you remember that Schellenberger was part of the Westminster Declaration Do you remember this? Oh yeah. That was that whole long list of Taibbi, Schellenberger, Jonathan Haidt, Steven Pinker... The usual suspects All the usual suspects and we found this to be very sketchy by itself in fact as I'm reading through it at least as iIm reading through it again the Westminster Declaration says the legislature in Germany and the Supreme Court in Brazil are criminalizing political speech

2:36:16 So, I'm still thinking that there's something going on with Brazil that a group of people wants to change. And Schellenberger actually gave me some information and then one of our outstanding producers came back with something that fits in with it. So there's a huge population in Brazil, I imagine there is a lot of strong feelings tell me about the protest tomorrow what to expect? Well so this is Brazil's Independence Day tomorrow There's going to be a huge protest demanding impeachment of this Supreme Court Justice named Alexandre de Moraes demanding that the president of the Brazilian Senate, Rodrigo Pacheco start impeachment proceedings. The number of senators supporting impeachment has been growing by the day and you're starting to now see people in newspapers that have been advocating for more censorship online say hey this is too much this is really outrageous this is the kind of censorship they saw during the dictatorship

2:37:12 in Brazil, so we're expecting to see hundreds of thousands of people on the streets tomorrow demanding free speech which is guaranteed in the Brazilian Constitution. Ah! It's guaranteed in the Brazilian Constitution yes and one of our producers Jose checked in and said Yes Brazil article 5 part 4 The expression of thought is free but there's a little extra part there And anonymity is forbidden Wouldn't that be interesting? If Elon Musk could have everybody say whatever they wanted on X, but you couldn't do it anonymously. This is something I've been tracking with him for a long time How many people have paid for their check mark? Once you pay, you're no longer anonymous. I think that this could come here as well. I've been saying this for a long time Well, lot of people have been advocating for it Yeah! Of course they are They want it

2:38:09 And this is just the final thought. Well, that's just so you can identify your enemy? Well yes! What came to mind is what group is probably the greatest risk to the US dollar? What group? Is the great... well people who use... The greatest threat. What group poses the greatest threat to the U.S. dollar? Well, I would say this is the BRICS for one. Exactly! The one that put at the top of the list. Exactly, exactly...the BRICS Brazil India Russia China We already have South Africa Well yes and then Saudi Arabia's in there and Egypt is in there Yeah but part of the BRICS nomenclature, the S stands for South Africa Yes But Brazil was right at the front

2:39:08 I think there's groups maybe within our US government and typical to use Elon because they use them for everything else who want to bring the bricks to heel. Well, that's I think we've come to that conclusion some time back. Right? But you can use this as a wedge. We can't have these guys out there doing what they're trying to do it's like ridiculous. You can put up with this! You can use this as a wedge issue bring in the Republican from Florida Let's get right to Congresswoman Maria Salazar of the Congresswoman serves on House Foreign Affairs House Foreign Affairs.

2:39:55 Oh, very worrisome. And you know, let me just tell you where else Twitter has been banned? In Iran and North Korea and China and Russia and Venezuela are now in Brazil this most important economy in the Western Hemisphere after the United States how embarrassing and how worrisome And why? Because Elon Musk is a freedom force that they don't need at this hour because they want to become socialist more and more. You have to remember that the president of Brazil, Lula was in jail for two years he was convicted to 12 years for corruption and money laundering. Freedom Force! Yep I have no conclusion to this but i'm just saying there's forces and it's not a freedom force is at work to do something with brazil just keeping my eye on it

2:40:46 Well, I'm not going to dissuade you from continuing this thread. Yes But I guess BRICS is an issue that has to be dealt with because we cannot afford to lose our reserve currency status. Otherwise, the country would be bankrupt and we'd be done. Yeah so you know it's one thing to have the NFL there it's another thing to have them messing with our currency And this guy's no good Lula's no good No, Lula is no good. Yeah so... Now he's a socialist. The Brazilians bring these guys back and forth it's ridiculous another I mean every country modern country has been doing this we saw it we see in France with the left wanting to take over the place and turn into an international operation and Spain is always voting communists in left-and-right Also no good? They have issues

2:41:44 And it just is a... Somebody I forget it was Kennedy or somebody who says you know why don't we just let the communists have their own party here in this country so we can at least identify Did Kennedy say that RFK Jr. It was one yeah, RFK jr.. That's funny uh it would it may have not been him but My voice is going because of you talking about him. Yeah, it was somebody Who who's important person that had this logical conclusion and III kind of agree with them? You should have a communist on the ticket, you know? He's a communist and if you vote for him then you're an idiot. But at least you can identify that they are there and see who voted for them Not that it used to be spying on the public but...

Alex Jones Vocal Health, Polyps and Screaming

Alex Jones addressed his deteriorating voice, explaining that years of screaming at demonstrations have caused polyps on his larynx. Despite doctors advising surgery and six weeks of silence, Jones intends to continue his signature vocal style, even demonstrating his "scream" for the audience.

2:42:29 I have a funny, since my voice is cracking. Yes? I do have to play this Alex Jones clip just as kind of an inside... Goodness! Okay. So Alex... Oh sorry yeah. Don't play it yet. Alex Jones was talking about this latest thing going on with the... Friend of the show. He is a friend of the show. I like Alex Jones material generally, but he does and he is very good about the last election and calling people out who thought there was micro dots on the ballots Thanks, pal. Remember? Yeah, remember it was Pachanik that was on his show that was making this decision and he's laughing at it. That's where it all started literally laughing at him on the show. So Alex has been picked up by Eric Weinstein latest thing and then he's got some background information

2:43:22 About the self-replicating nanobots that are in this shot and is killing your immune system It went on I have no clips of that. Yeah, because it was like this such a sketchy assertion Well, okay And just it came from a paper which was written by someone who was not schooled in this particular area as I think has been debunked by now Well, it's a good topic of conversation for Alex and his show. But meanwhile he does this segment where he takes letters to the editor and just reads them then follows up... And so somebody wrote into him about his scream and how come he is not using it much anymore when he screams?

2:44:06 He does scream for the guy, but there was a lot of background information which I think we can all anticipate before he does his scream. And this is nothing more than Alex explaining his lousy, crazy sounding voice and then to make it matters worse he does his scream into the microphone. Of course, I never took acting lessons or voice lessons. I've screamed and yelled a lot even without a bullhorn so I got stuff on my larynx, polyps I've been to an ear, nose and eye doctor a couple times. And they said well it'll take six weeks you can't really tell. Is it ear nose and throat doctor?

2:44:42 Yeah, yes it is. Yes it's not your... I'd like to be a nose and eye doctor. Oh poor Alex. I've been to an ear nose and eye doctor couple times they said well it'll take six weeks you can't really talk we could take those polyps off if you won't sound like you're an 80 year old man who smokes cigarettes drinks whiskey but I just haven't done it this kind of signature so I'm leaving it there I may have to do at some point about keep screaming because its getting worse but I used to scream so loud on demonstrations stuff that I cough up blood. No! A few times So, I like to do it. I usually do it when I actually feel like doing it but I'm excited about the country and the world waking up so let me fire it up and do it. There that's a little one for you. And you got great pleasure from this

2:45:28 I did. It's like he makes that scream and then you realize it just, uh...it's a shtick with him but he is blowing out his vocal of course there's no doubt about it and then he does the scream again? He should stop! I have two quick clips that'll be it for me for our broadcast day but of course we have great end-of-show mixes and we have the tip of the day coming up so you want to wait for that This is the M5M, the legacy media catching up to your No Agenda show which has been on this beat for I think at least six months. Rob a West suburban woman is talking to The Eye team about how she sent almost 1 million dollars to a scammer and she's not alone! The FBI estimates that scam known as pig butchering cost Americans nearly 4 billion dollars last year alone Think of all the money people could have saved if they were listening to the no agenda show

2:46:23 We have warned people for this, we have explained how it works. Even the name pig butchering and yet four billion dollars is gone. It's unbelievable! Yeah And the thing is the FBI... I mean where are... Where is Elizabeth Warren? Where's Warren? Elizabeth Warren or Rachel complain about Rachel And I still get calls, once I'm getting now mostly almost one after another is the oh you've been paying too much for your utility bill. You, you've overpaid. We want to give you a bunch of money and discount your utility bill by 35%. Press one for this offer." And of course I take it literally and press one and hang up because they're only asking me to press one they're not asking me to hang on the line. I have hung on the line a couple times there's some guy with a very thick Bombay accent trying to convince me that

2:47:19 local utility bill. I just had to give them my bank account information, and they'll give me money." Oh yeah! Then you cleared right up. But actually I got a call yesterday while here from a 512 area code which is Texas-Austin and the minute I heard it I was like oh because yes this is sheriff's office like oh okay And I hung up. You remember that scam they pulled me into? Tried to pull me into the sheriff's office and then... I told you about this! You don't remember? No. Yeah, well I don't remember it was very convincing they had police radio gone in the background or transferring you and then well there's a warrant out for your arrest because you didn't show up as a... what is the... as a witness, a specialist witness, what do you call it

2:48:11 You've been an expert witness. Expert witness, thank you. Expert witness and because you had signed that you would appear now you have to come down to the station and you have to pay a fine it's three-and-a-half thousand dollars And it was sophisticated Wow! They had me going for I've not heard this one Yeah they had me going for a bit and like yeah I think I'm gonna call my lawyer no you can't hang up we have another term Oh, there's your giveaway.

They will not pick up the phone The first time they actually left a message at 7 59 a.m And I didn't take it because walking the dog and I called them back and they picked up so I might get lucky Mike you might get lucky, but I've had very little luck with this Yeah The most recent one I did have one of these that this second time there's a second time it happened But I pick up the phone and the voice on the other end goes grandpa Yeah, grandpa. And I didn't... well i've had this call before and then this guy told me, I just told this guy off, I said what dummies believe anything you have to say? And hung up on him! I didn't have time for the call because I was doing clips. Oh man, but I've had the call before

2:49:53 I don't have the... Yes, I have to record these. Space! If i ever get one of these again, I'll try to record it but the..I did go through with what the first guy and he says, hey grandpa? And I said yeah who is this? It's Theodore! No they never get a name They don't have that tiny deep. It could be Theodore Yeah well Theodore is like 9 or 8 and you're like 50 Oh okay And so it does the voices are no good.

Location Sharing Trend, Find My Friends and Privacy

A viral TikTok trend highlights the common practice among younger generations of sharing their real-time GPS locations with friends. The hosts view this as a disturbing invasion of privacy and a "stalker's delight," noting that what began as a European social product has become a standard feature on modern smartphones.

Also some Meetup reports are put back up there... it is a great way to get to know the community and the producers known as Noahjendanation Go to noahjendameetups.com if you can't find one near you start one yourself! It's easy and always a party! Sometimes you wanna go hang out with all the nights and days Well, this is disturbing. As far as I can tell both of us have one ISO each. Hmm... which does not bode well

3:10:56 It bodes well to me. You got a killer? Then I'll go first! Here's my... I don't have a ki- No, just if i don't care. What do you mean you don't care?! I mean it's both of these are probably usable. Yeah, I don't like well here we go That's so freaking unsafe! See it's uh... What's that got to do with anything? Nothing let me try yours One day it all makes sense Wow they're both horrible Well, here's one of the backups from one of the previous shows. Last show for example had a bunch of good ones How about this one? Yeah it is big!

3:11:33 Okay, fine. You sound so mad bro! Hey everybody it's time for our end of show tip of the day It's John's Corner! Yeah! Tip of the Day Time We're all excited to hear what you've got lined up for us John What is your tip of the day? Alright, well these things cost about 12 bucks or so and this is a recommended dog walk if people with dogs would You have a dog that's medium-sized or a big dog We usually have a big dog in our family somewhere. I mean he's got a feel feel of Brasilio Which is a huge powerful dog? I got a big dog like a big dog hey Is that a big dog really Phoebe oh

3:12:22 Phoebe's, yeah I don't know what she weighed. She was 120 we got her down to 99. Oh that's a big dog. Big dog then you need this! Okay it's a tip i'm excited You want and you can look it up they have them at Amazon there are couple brands there but you look it up a bungee dog leash Bungee Dog Leash? The Bungee Dog Leash if you have a big dog or even a medium-sized dog If they lunge at something, it doesn't pull your arm out of your shoulder out of your socket. It absorbs the initial lurch that a dog will do

3:13:03 and brings it back to normal. The Bungie Dog Leash is one of the greatest products, if you have a dog walking leash get one of these things, you'll never regret it! It's a fabulous product. Now how far out does it extend? Well they have a six foot... well about a couple feet I mean its not like the dog can go into somebody's throat while your sitting there. Because I have one of those that has Like a real in it. So yeah, those are no good You want the bungee dog? Okay All right well you know this might be for Tina because when she's walking the dog our dog has some PTSD Cuz you know she's a rescue from her tree line Tina will thank me profusely for this recommendation of the Bungee-dodgy dog leash I like it either well and I will have her send you a personal note if she is that happy with the product

3:13:57 Yeah, and they're not expensive. So all right there it is everybody your tip of the day Holy handy ideas Batman. It's the tip of the day There you go, there's the guy there you go All right everybody thank you very much for being with us once again coming to you from the cruise ship capital of Mexico just north of Puerto Vallarta Are you are there cruise ships out there that you can see nope no well some capital? No, it's on the other side. Can't see it coming up next though we do have random thoughts ran dumb my thoughts The Clueless Collective and We have to end of show mixes David Kecker checks in as usual guys always checking him really appreciate that David

3:14:49 We could use more end of show mixes, so I rolled out a classic which is Sir Chris. Sir Chris Wilson with an Alessi Brothers spoof of O'Laurie and his O'Elonn So i'm sure you will enjoy that although John doesn't like the key that it's sung in Coming to you for the last time here from Mexico. I'll be back on Thursday from home base In the morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley which is the home base, I am John C. Dvorak We return on Thursday please join us for another three hours of media deconstruction and remember us at noagendadonations dot com until then adios mofos a hooey hooey and such! I certainly see a position where the world's going to have to come together and create some rules around social media platforms

3:15:40 I'm not sure, but I am sure there should be and there's got to be because you know hostility in it. But we can't carry on as we are and I think the impact on young people is huge. they got access to mobile phones very young and are reading a whole lot of stuff, and receiving a whole lot of stuff that I think is really messing with their minds in a big way. Brazilian government and Elon Musk have been in a feud it began when a Brazilian judge Alexandra de Moraes ordered regulators to ban access the social media platform X after must refuse to appoint illegal representatives in the country

3:16:24 I'd like to kill Check mark, it's a bummer If after all those years of patriarchy Oh Obama Look here is the thing Twitter shouldn't be just left wing

3:17:15 I like to hide my racist views from you with a handle that larps so i can remain anonymous and hound those snarky snarks posting peppy memes and playing both extremes. Wanna kill a live puppy on twitter spaces? Are we long? Your go to troll is truly on Ooh and those sphincters are reeling Are we long? Illuminati proto-champion of the future Which horseman are you?

3:18:06 Am I unbanned now? After tweeting big massive dumps to Don Jr. After all my old accounts are uncovered. Ooh, Elon all you wanna do is authenticate the room You can tell it's real because it looks so fake So fake So fake Oh, Elon! So fake. Your go to troll is truly on. Ooh and those sphincters are reeling. Oh, Elon! So fake. Illuminati proto-champion of the future which horse but I use?

3:18:56 When he has a vision for Mars, it's the right vision. And I think he can articulate something really compelling and I don't understand half of what he is saying when this guy knows what he is talking about. When he talks about moving equipment into the atmosphere for less money using reusable rockets...when he talks about electric vehicles He has absolutely no vision here other than First Amendment blather None of that makes any sense What does he want to kill a live puppy on Twitter Spaces? What is he talking about? And those fingers are real

3:19:33 Oh, Wheel on! Wanna kill a live puppy? Illuminati proto-champion of the future Which horseman are you? So fake. Oh, Wheel on! You can tell it's real Your go to troll is truly on Ooh and those sphincters are reeling Oh, Wheel On! So fake. The best podcast in the universe! Yeah, it is big.
