About this episode

The Biden administration finalized a massive tariff hike on Chinese imports, raising duties on electric vehicles to 100% while targeting lithium-ion batteries and solar cells. This aggressive trade posture mirrors Donald Trump’s recent address to the Economic Club of New York, where he argued that the U.S. dollar’s reserve status must be defended through the strategic use of tariffs against nations moving away from the greenback. Meanwhile, tensions escalate in Europe as Vladimir Putin warns that NATO authorization of long-range missiles for Ukraine would constitute a direct act of war.

In domestic politics, ABC News faces scrutiny over edited footage of a Kamala Harris interview where responses regarding the opportunity economy were significantly altered. Hillary Clinton’s new book tour reveals her private reactions to the Biden withdrawal, while Mike Lindell continues his campaign against electronic voting machines following de-platforming by major banks. On the West Coast, Governor Gavin Newsom weighs a controversial AI safety bill that would mandate a kill switch for rogue systems, a move opposed by OpenAI but supported by Elon Musk. Additionally, a new medical study links high doses of ADHD stimulants like Adderall to a five-fold increase in psychosis risk among young adults.

SpaceX’s Polaris Dawn mission concluded with a high-altitude splashdown after Jared Isaacman performed a tethered spacewalk in the Van Allen radiation belts. The segment captures the physical toll of space travel, noting that weightlessness may cause permanent kidney damage to astronauts currently stranded on the Boeing Starliner. The show also explores the bizarre discovery of a 19th-century cistern under the Smithsonian Castle and the persistent urban legends of secret submarine bases hidden beneath Lake Tahoe.

00:00 Don't let them eat the cats! Broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region Number 6. Why, in the morning everybody! I'm Adam Curry and from Northern Silicon Valley where we are not eating the dogs yet...I am John C. Dvorak It's Crackpot & Buzzkill In The Morning Yeah key word yet Yet, yet, yet, that is right Oh man, I am slow today Bye We went out last night

00:47 Oh, yeah. Night before a show! Well you want to hear about it? It was kind of interesting...it was the Fredericksburg Tea Party Boots and Barbecue Dinner Yes I knew you'd want to hear about it Yeah typically I wouldn't really go to something like this certainly anything that's a party but the tea party in Fredericksburg is, I mean you know it's not still a tea party. It's an old school tea party it's not like the Ron Paul yeah parties so now really right? It's not really a political party but its reason for the good old boys and girls to get together and you wear boots did Tina wore like a cute skirt in boots and I discovered I need hats because I was one of the few without hat

01:41 So of course the Fredericksburg Tea Party Boots and Barbecue was held in beautiful downtown Kerrville. There's no place that can facilitate it, there were 350 people there! It was quite a get-together. Now this is organized by Matt Long Matt is a fixture in Fredericksburg. He's been running the Tea Party for 15 years and he's actually the guy who was also organizing the No Agenda meetup on 18th of October at the Full Moon Inn Bed and Breakfast. Plug? Well, of course it's a plug! And I met Jenny McCombs who owns... Oh, Jenny! I've always wanted to meet Jenny She owns the Full Moon Inn bed and breakfast and she is very excited to meet everybody and she says that she is a January 6-er

02:35 Tried convicted. I think she even served time in prison. What? Yeah, I think she served time in prison She went to D.C.? Oh yeah. That's dedication. I like it So, I didn't get to chat with her real long. So, I'll get the full story when we see on the 18th. Anyway there were some speakers which was quite interesting Rick Green who runs The Patriot Academy which is a place here right near Fredericksburg where you can go and learn how the Constitution works and how Congress works and how you get a bill on the floor and they educate young people but probably their just as well known for their four-day personal self defense class.

03:19 So they're basically doing what the high schools should have been for decades. Exactly! It's like a high school. In every way. Yeah, them with four-day pistol training and it is great he gets up he says... Well you used to have gun clubs in most high schools of course He gets up says Hi everybody I'm Rick. He's real animate. I'm Rick Green so what do we do right now if right through that door in the back the dirtbag comes in his got an AR 15 start shooting how many are you prepared? So you know 30 hands go up at least Yeah, but they're all holding guns. They shoot them all in the air that's what would really be funny I know one actually pulled their gun out and he said but are you prepared to get the job done? Anyway was a good pitch really good pitch then This is not a nuttier and nuttier by the minute it was no one knows this great then chip Roy spoke our Chip Roy was there yes chip Roy was there

04:12 And very dark chip Roy very dark. This is it this is if we don't win this election, we're all gonna die Yes, that's the pitch yeah and then he gave his pitch for the SAVE Act Which is the was it like I think it's basically make sure illegals don't vote in our elections act which is which was controversial because It kind of blew up I think this week where, what's our guy from Kentucky? Massey. He said no this is all nonsense they jam all this stuff into the continuing resolution. No man, Massey yes there was a clip going around and I never took it but Massey is the guy

04:56 To do this he is the wet blanket in the Republican Party who doesn't put up with anything and everybody rolls their eyes And they all love him. Yeah, yeah He's kind of like that a new Rand Paul because like now I'm just not gonna do this nonsense So, so Chippra you know it's okay but you know I can't remember what it was but he sometimes... He does stuff and like yeah I don't know man. It seems like a good old boy who got got a little bit too much politician in him But it was nice that he was there That was nice Well that was a lot different than my yesterday Wait! I'm not done yet Oh no I haven't gotten to the headliner Wow oh yeah there's a headliner

CHAPTER 02 / 47 Discussion

Mike Lindell, MyPillow De-platforming, and Electoral College Strategy

Mike Lindell, CEO of MyPillow, appeared as a headliner at a Texas event to discuss his experiences with de-platforming by American Express and Chase Bank. Lindell detailed his financial investment into investigating voting machine deviations and advocated for a return to paper ballots. The discussion transitions into the mechanics of the Electoral College and the importance of swing states like Pennsylvania in the upcoming election.

mike lindell· mypillow· american express· electoral college· voting machines· paper ballots

05:37 So after Chip Roy, the trumped-up Texan came in who is a Trump impersonator Very good and he even took questions from the audience and stayed in character I was well impressed with that guy. But then the headliner The one the only Mr. MyPillow himself Mike Lindell so you got to meet me? You got to meet Mike? I did! I met Mike Did you get a free pillow? He was not handing out... It's not going too well with MyPillow.com Why? Well, they pretty much cancelled him out of every box store and the guy, they cancelled his accounts They, they, his American Express account His credit card What?! Oh yeah! he got completely de-platformed You didn't know this? American Express cancelled him? For what!? For questioning the elections

06:37 What's that got to do with mercantile acceptance of a credit card? Yeah, they... he got cancelled. So American Express is an activist organization is that what you're saying? Yes I would say so and Chase You know all his bank accounts got frozen, but the worst part is he couldn't accept any credit cards so he had to... Yeah that sucks. If you're selling stuff yes it kind of does and That should be illegal actually Of course it should be So a couple of observations shorter than I thought he was

07:13 I thought he was a much taller guy for some reason. He looked to be about 5'6 to me Yeah, that's about maybe five seven little bit tall enough but i thought it was kind of like six foot plus you know and severe...I mean severe ADHD this guy can't look in one direction for more than three seconds he's all over the map You think its Tourette? No! It's just real ADHD no not Tourette but as he was speaking I figured out he has a superpower. He was telling some of his history, some of it's well known but at one point he was a professional card counter in Vegas

07:54 I can see that. Yes, and so this is why he got involved in these voting machines because he could see the deviations and you know how people have that insight they can look at a spreadsheet? It's always beyond me but yes! So I have talked about this on this show about how people can see what they can see radio waves They can visualize with radio waves They can visualize like good friend of mine can visualize every signal on a bus Oh, really? Like a computer. Card bus you can see that you look at these signals. You can see well, that's not gonna work or every so often That's gonna oh there's a conflict. That's that's a little beyond what Mike Lindell can do I'm just saying there are people out there with weird Whoa, that counts for two? That's a double weird that you know, it's a to say twice No, but it was so long and so pronounced. I think it's no no, I only got counted for one one

08:55 But I'm just saying it's astonishing to me that these skills exist. So he can... And oh, wait! Just one more thing people who have this skill these whatever they are, you know this natural skills. They don't even know it! You almost have to point it out to them. Well he knows it and... Yeah well after they get older yeah at some point you go wow I thought everyone could do this so that's why he was looking at the votes said no no this is and so that makes sense And he dove what? He spent 40 million dollars invest of his own he says my life savings which I believe that sounds about right He spent and you just send money to people, go ahead. Go investigate that. Go investigate that."

09:39 And he had example after example of like Philadelphia, you know there were 80... Yes I remember during this controversial era. He was out and because he was on a lot of his... he was out there. Fox won't even have him on anymore. No but C-SPAN would have him on Oh really? C-SPAN? And he would go on there with these different experts and they'd be discussing the details of this it was all including some statistical analysis guys this is not possible, they would come up with it. Exactly! So he was giving all these different examples in Philadelphia 80 people who had voted were 115 years old which seems unlikely and he was explaining how some people who had initially run

10:30 as a third party, independent in some districts and then were not even on the ballot how they got votes. Which of course is how you take votes from one and have the other person win so he had... He actually says it's really it's a godsend He said that Trump lost or we'd never know how bad the corruption really is which I thought was an interesting statement He reminded us how years ago Klobuchar and all those people were complaining about the very same machines when they lost, remember? Diebold. Diebold yeah And so his whole pitch was obviously let's go back to paper ballots And he said the worst thing is when people show up To vote and then they say no you've already voted

11:20 So, his recommendation is everybody you should get your mail-in ballot but don't open the envelope just keep it sealed and then take that with you when you go to vote on voting day itself. And then if someone says oh you voted already say nope here I am and here's my sealed mail in ballot. Oh that's a good one tip right? That's a good tip! What else did he say? That's assuming you don't want to just mail in the ballot. No, no you don't want to do that! He says it's a mess basically. It's a mess these machines are no good they've been falsified the world over like okay yeah there you go so a lot of oohs and ahhs and then you know he did kind of say but really what matters is the electoral college

12:11 And I think that was a kind of passed over people's heads because they don't really realize, you know we all like yeah every vote got to count. Got to get my vote counted but it doesn't matter because it's the electoral college who elects the president and each state, the legislature determines how those electors are nominated so The hope is that the Republican Party has their ground game together in the states where it matters. Because, I mean this is how you can win the popular vote and lose the election is through our electoral college. I don't think people really understand how that works. Well we try to explain on the show over and over... Yeah why don't you give another stab? You're pretty good at it!

CHAPTER 03 / 47 Discussion

Electoral College Mechanics and State Legislative Power

An explanation of the United States Electoral College system details how it balances power between large and small states. The process involves slates of electors chosen by state legislatures rather than a direct national popular vote. Current political analysis identifies Pennsylvania as a critical state for both the Harris and Trump campaigns.

electoral college· swing states· pennsylvania· popular vote· state legislature

13:02 I'm not that good. Yes, you are! The electoral college is a slate of electors that choose the president based on each of the states having certain number of electoral votes so they can give to the Electoral College and and the idea is it's to minimize the large states hogging because they'll have...they're overloaded with people hogging the popular vote So, if it was just all popular vote 90% of the time it would be...the president would be determined by California and New York and two or three other big states. And little states like Wyoming, South Dakota, North Dakota these places we just do whatever they want doesn't matter. The idea was is to balance a little bit and to prevent the corruption of these large states

13:53 which get corrupted over time, as you can tell anyone who lives in California and New York or these big giant states. They've been taken...they usually have been captured by one of the parties. Generally Democrats they do the better job of it and so they would just throw all their votes into the Electoral College or the popular vote but the thing is Electoral College votes do not necessarily represent on a one-to-one basis to popular vote right So, you can get...so by manipulating the electoral college and just making sure you win certain states in the upcoming election that's where they're called swing states. You win those, you can win the whole election whether you get the popular vote or not. Now sometimes if the popular vote does go to where the winner goes which is like Reagan did that and I think Bush did it once

14:44 And generally speaking though, the Democrats win the popular vote because it's a giant state. Let's say so in a state like Pennsylvania if there are more votes for let's just say Harris the Electoral College can still give their votes to Trump correct? They don't have to actually adhere on their laws right? Generally speaking no They can't just do that. But it turns out in this upcoming election, according to everybody, Pennsylvania is the key state. That's why they talk about it so much right and Trump can win without winning Pennsylvania according to these guys really but yes but Harris can't hmm well Pennsylvania was certainly helping her out if you saw the local Philadelphia ABC station

Kamala Harris ABC News Interview Editing Controversy

Analysis of a Kamala Harris interview on a Philadelphia ABC affiliate compares raw footage with the final broadcast version. The segment highlights the use of "noddies" and significant edits to her responses regarding inflation and the "opportunity economy." Specific policy points mentioned include a $50,000 small business tax deduction and a $25,000 first-time homebuyer assistance plan.

kamala harris· abc news· philadelphia· opportunity economy· child tax credit· media editing

15:40 Oh, the one that did the interview with her? Well so they did and I don't know how this happened but they they didn't interview. The raw interview was published which even with the countdown of the camera and everything So yeah, and so I say somebody took it from the studio. Yes So I have to burn havoc. I have the beginning I have both these clips Oh well, why haven't you do you have how long are yours? Well mine I tried to keep them short because that the point can be made easily without having to play The whole thing is pretty boring. Let's lose this use yours then Kamala

16:18 OG. Well, which one do you want to... Here's this I have the two. Yeah we'll play the OG first i thought yes the OG original and it's lousy quality yeah did you pan it or do i have to pan it I did what I could. Okay, all right but it's gonna be a little lopsided not too bad but this is the way that this isn't and this is the beginning of the interview and how it started here we go when you talk about bringing down prices and making life more affordable for people what are one or two specific things you have in mind for that

16:58 Well, I'll start with this. Um...I grew up a middle class kid My mother raised my sister and me She worked very hard Um..she was able to finally save enough money To buy our first house when i was a teenager I grew up in a community of hard-working people, you know construction workers and nurses and teachers. And I try to explain to some people who may not have had the same experience You know if it but a lot that people will relate to this, you know I grew up in a neighborhood folks who were very proud of their lawn, you know? and um...and I was raised

17:38 To believe and to know that all people deserve dignity now just as a little aside with this clip we can confidently say That she was very good at memorizing her prosecutorial lines in the debate I had to talk ten people off the ledge nut last night about the earrings. Oh, sorry Adam Adam did you think that they were the she doesn't need to be prompted on that? What good would that be No, no those are just elitist expensive earrings. Oh if you're gonna use that technology You get an ear wig or all different kinds of ways to do it Yeah, there is this crazy earring story Anyway So that's the way she starts off and it goes on and on and I just goes on and on with this 11 minute need dignity And then if this she starts talking then she starts generalizing about once here Here is what the way they presented the same? The same

18:37 They edited that whole part. They just edited her, they took it all out and here's what you got. And before I play it...I want to explain the use of noughties in edits because you can hear in this audio how they- because if you watch the whole 11 minutes what you're about to hear was not all set in succession. They edited this together as well and um just briefly when you go sit down and interview someone with a one camera You do the interview, usually you're the interviewer. The camera's over your shoulder on the subject and then when the subject is gone because they always have very little time then you do the intro and then they're gonna switch the camera around, you do the intro and then you're gonna do what are called noddies like mm-hmm ah yes. Nodding, you're nodding? Your head. Yes, put your hand on your chin oh interesting! And that can be interspersed so you don't see the edits

19:32 of this one camera shot that you have of the subject. So when you hear there's some obvious edits in here, in the answer itself besides losing that whole front end and they put a naughty in. When we talk about bringing down prices and making life more affordable for people what are one or two specific things you have in mind for that? So when I talk about building an opportunity economy, it is very much with the mind of investing in the ambitions and aspirations and the incredible work ethic of the American people. Oh man do you mind if i play a little bit of the longer edit? Did you hear all the edits they put in that thing?! You might as well but the point is that

20:15 The funny thing to me is that even the edited version of this answer still stinks. When we talk about bringing down prices and making life more affordable for people, what are one or two specific things you have in mind? Yeah I'll ring the bell on every edit. So when i talk about building an opportunity economy it is very much with the mind investing in the ambitions and aspirations and the incredible work ethic of the American people, creating opportunity for people to start a small business. So my Opportunity Economy Plan includes

20:51 giving startups a $50,000 tax deduction to start their small business. It used to be five thousand dollars nobody can start a small business with five thousand dollar opportunity economy means look we don't have enough housing in America We have a housing supply shortage And what that means, in particular for so many younger Americans the American dream is elusive. It's just actually not attainable to help people who just want to get their foot in the door literally and so giving first-time homebuyers a $25,000 down payment assistance Another plan that I have that is a new approach is to expand the child tax credit

21:33 to $6,000 for young families for the first year of their child's life. Yeah it's better when you see the video but anyway they so they really they really did a good job helping her Well, do you think so? Because she still didn't answer the question and her answer to how are you going to fight inflation which is what the question was. She's by throwing more money at it! Yes well yeah I mean what i'm saying is they helped her by... They helped her by sounding less like an idiot. Yeah less like an idiot exactly now her vice presidential candidate on the other hand

22:13 Really tried to help her but the truth kind of came out because this started and I love this story as a young prostitute I Have listened to that thing a million times. It sounds like she's saying prosecutor, I think it's prostitutor because Yes Because it was suggested to you know But listen again because this started and I love this story as a young prostitute No Sorry It's one of those blue dress, silver dress things. It's great when someone says prostitute or then that's all you can hear it. Yeah. Especially if you suggest this so you have an LP going on. That's the whole idea. That's why it's so good. But yes I know. So I thought that was funny. Very funny. Prostitute her and uh, how do you know?

CHAPTER 05 / 47 Discussion

Hillary Clinton Book Tour and Biden Withdrawal Reaction

Hillary Clinton promoted her new book, "Something Lost Something Gained," during an appearance on Morning Joe. Audio excerpts from the book reveal her reaction to Joe Biden withdrawing from the 2024 race and her endorsement of Kamala Harris. The narrative includes a reference to Joni Mitchell and reflections on the "glass ceiling" in American politics.

hillary clinton· morning joe· something lost something gained· joni mitchell· kamala harris

23:08 Do you think that Hillary Clinton is vying for a spot in the cabinet should Kamala Harris be elected? I don't think so. No, you don't think she would like... Why what were you making you think this way? Well she's out with her book and uh She wants to sell more books as some money maker Yeah yeah but i was just thinking maybe back to Secretary of State again since she was so good No it's never gonna happen You think she's completely done? Yeah. Hill Dog has got some fight left in her? No, Hill Dog has no fight left in her! Would you like to hear some of the book? I don't think she wants to deal with it because the only reason she was Secretary of State is because there was supposed to be a stepping stone for her to become President and since she didn't get that now she's got this Kamala situation where she's going to ruin it for all women

24:00 for the next 20 years. Yeah, probably. She figures out what's the point? Here is a little bit of the promo book tour on Morning Joe. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has a new book coming up and Morning Joe has an exclusive first look at one key part of it. The book entitled Something Lost Something Gained Reflections on Life Love and liberty. Clinton was recording the audio book when news broke that President Biden had dropped out of the race for the White House. So coincidental! She decided to record her first reaction, to that monumental shift in presidential politics. On July 21st 2024 when Joe Biden announced he was dropping out of the presidential race and endorsing Kamala Harris

24:51 The dream of seeing a woman in the Oval Office was suddenly back within reach. It wouldn't be me, but it could be Kamala. History beckoned! But a whole lot of bigotry fear and disinformation not to mention the Electoral College stood in the way Could we do it? Why would she say not to mention the Electoral College stood in the way why would she even mention that Well, they're out to get the electoral college and with the help of the media. This is one aspect of the electoral college I didn't mention which is that it's not good for business. Oh! For business you mean their business? For the business of advertising

25:36 For example, if everything is done by the popular vote then Trump would be advertising in California which is a done deal. California's sold, it's done, it's gonna go for the Democrat whoever the Democrat is. New York's gonna go for the Democrat whoever the Democrat is But if it was, if the electoral college was gone now the advertising has to be more spread around a little more. In fact you might even need more advertising. Not to mention the Electoral College stood in the way could we do it? Could we finally shatter that highest hardest glass ceiling and prove that in America there is no limit to what is possible

26:22 When Bill and I heard the news, we were pissed off that Biden was withdrawing and endorsing Kamala. We drafted a joint statement saluting him and also endorsing her she is talented experienced and ready to be president so it was an easy decision. What was the last thing she said? Easy decision It wasn't easier or wasn't No, it was. I think she would say it was an easy decision. I can play the last bit again. Burienced and ready to be president so it wasn't easy decision There's a little laugh in there that's why That's probably... It's a laugh tale! So it wasn't pffft Easy Decision Pfff Laughter Tale Burienced and ready to be president so it wasn't easy decisio

27:15 Why would you do that? Yeah, there's a laugh tale in there. And it was an easy decision to what say I'd say... To write notes! Wait a minute, it was an easy decision for her to say, I'm a Democrat and I'm endorsing the Democrat presidential candidate?! Yes, yes, I think that's it. You want to hear more? I have another minute Yeah, sure. Why not? Some people have asked how I feel about the prospect of another woman poised... She sounds like a robot! Yes it's not a great read of the book. She is not a good reader. No. Some people have asked how I feel about the prospect of another woman poised to achieve the breakthrough I didn't

27:55 If I'm being honest, in the years after 2016, I also wondered how I would feel if another woman ever took the torch that I had carried so far and ran on with it. Would some little voice deep down inside whisper Yes, that should have been me. That's your name a Now I know the answer it should have been made after I got off the phone with the vice president I looked at bill with a huge smile and said are you dead yet? This is exciting. I felt promise I felt possibility it was exhilarating

28:38 When I imagine Kamala standing before the Capitol... Hold on a second. This is such a lie! Does anybody believe this? Not for a second, it was exhilarating and I'm so happy for her. And Kamala, I was so happy. When I imagine Kamala standing before the Capitol next January taking the oath of office as our first woman president my heart leaps After hard years of division, it will prove that our best days are still ahead and that we are making progress on our long journey toward a more perfect union. And it will make such a difference in the lives of hard-working people everywhere." Yeah, It's about to get harder

29:28 For now thinking about this momentous, she didn't say to make a positive difference. It'll make it different She knows the truth It's gonna be bad for now thinking about this momentous period I find myself turning back to where this book began As Joni Mitchell sang all those years ago, something's lost but somethings gained. Hello Boomer! Oh Joni Mitchell one of her great sayings if something is lost something is gained. Wow yes yeah a boomer reference if I've ever heard one for Joni Mitchell throw in Alanis Morissette and you're still old.

30:12 Who is that supposed to appeal to? Most people don't even know who Joni Mitchell is anymore. To the MSNBC crowd, I'm sure they're eating it up! They love it Meanwhile, Trump had a very interesting talk at the New York... The Economic Club of New York. Yeah that was a couple weeks ago I hadn't seen this Oh you missed out? As I pulled the clip because I like the question about tariffs which is You know it was one of the big so-called debate questions About tariffs Well and you know i have a preclip

CHAPTER 06 / 47 Discussion

Biden Administration Chinese EV and Battery Tariff Hikes

The Biden administration finalized a decision to significantly increase tariffs on Chinese imports, including a jump from 25% to 100% on electric vehicles. Additional hikes target lithium-ion EV batteries and solar cells, effective September 27th. The move is framed as a measure to protect American workers from unfair trade practices, mirroring previous Trump-era policies.

30:49 A pre-clip? Before you play that. I think we'll find my list... Let's hear that list, it's paper! This was not discussed in the mainstream media and i just think is funny, I caught it off NHK Play this clip and then you can talk about terrorists Biden did what tf The administration of US President Joe Biden has finalized a decision to raise tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles from 25% to 100%, starting on September 27th. The office of the U.S. Trade Representative announced the move on Friday Additionally, tariffs on lithium-ion EV batteries will rise from 7.5% to 25%. And on solar cells from 25% to 50%.

31:45 The office said the hikes were made after reviewing public comments. Biden announced plans in May to increase tariffs on a range of Chinese imports, citing the need to protect US workers from what he calls China's unfair trade practices. Well isn't that interesting? Isn't that interesting and how come nobody has discussed this because they made such fuss about Trump tariffs? No, no, the Trump tax the Trump tax. But meanwhile Biden, not only that but 100% on e-visas is exactly what Trump was doing! So they couldn't make any noise about it and they did it anyway? Like they really care?! They did it because they actually care?? No I don't believe that for a second

CHAPTER 07 / 47 Discussion

Donald Trump on Tariffs and Dollar Reserve Status

Donald Trump addressed the Economic Club of New York, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the U.S. dollar as the world's reserve currency. He argued that the threat of tariffs can be used as a diplomatic tool to ensure other nations continue to honor the dollar. Trump also criticized the use of sanctions and the removal of Russia from the SWIFT system as potentially damaging to the dollar's global dominance.

32:29 There has to be some kind of, you know if anything... The fact that they did it at all and the fact that the mainstream media refuses to discuss it says enough because they've got this narrative. They're stuck with yeah says enough who knows Yeah, yeah well maybe to ratchet up some tensions with China gotta get that thing going after all Gotta get that China war going So Trump's at the Economic Club of New York and he gets a question about tariffs. And his answer I thought was interesting because it wasn't just about tariffs. The problem with what we have with sanctions, and I was a user of sanctions but I put them on and take them off as quickly as possible because ultimately it kills your dollar and it kills everything the dollar represents that we have to continue to have that be the world currency. I think it's important...I think would be losing a war if we lost

33:25 If we lost the dollar as a, as the world currency I think that would be equivalent of losing a war. That would make us a third-world country and we can't let it happen so... I use sanctions very powerfully against countries that deserve it and then I take them off Because look, you're losing Iran. You're losing Russia China is out there trying to get their currency to be the dominant currency as you know better than anybody All of these things are happening and you're losing so many countries because there's so much conflict with all of these countries that you're going to lose that and we can't lose that So I want to use sanctions as little as possible One of the things that we have with tariffs

34:05 is that I'll say to them, you don't honor the dollar as your world currency. Is that right? You're not going to do it? No we're not! And I said that's okay i'm gonna put tariffs all over your product and they are gonna say sir would love to honor the dollar as a world currency tariffs in addition to monetary and the money that will take in which will be bigger than you've ever seen in this country before gives you tremendous political power. Something like that as an example I stopped wars with the threat of tariffs so, you know we forget about that but Russia it was kind of crazy they were kicked off the swift system

34:48 That, and which by the way Europe had more of a hand in than we did. It's like what was the point of that if you don't want to screw the dollar? Which also for Europe makes no sense that is obvious to me seeing as the Euro-dollar is Well, the Europeans don't like us having... and the proper term is reserve currency. Yes not the world currency. It's Trump! World Currency! I'm never gonna be convinced that the Europeans are going to work and do anything in our favor. Well no in fact it looks to me more and more

CHAPTER 08 / 47 Discussion

NATO Long-Range Missile Policy and Russian Escalation Risks

Discussions regarding the authorization of long-range missiles for Ukraine highlight tensions between NATO and Russia. Vladimir Putin warned that such approval would signify NATO is at war with Russia due to the technical Western involvement required for targeting. Reports suggest the debate shifted following news of Iran sending missiles to Russia, while analysts weigh the risk of nuclear escalation.

vladimir putin· nato· ukraine· atacms· iran· long-range missiles

35:34 Because, you know this is it's not really well explained this long-range missile stuff. But there's more than one kind of long range missile and the one that the US talks about is the ATAKMS! The Atakms! Well they have the Atakms Yeah but that's not what's being talked about No, course not So...well I actually have a couple NPR clips just to bring us up to speed on This Long Range Missiles issue Putin said this week such an approval of long-range missiles inside Russia will show NATO is at war with Russia. Now there's no question the White House has been worried about escalation from the start of the war two and a half years ago, and there's always concern that Russia could possibly use nuclear weapons we've heard that repeatedly most analysts say that's really highly unlikely. Well if it's unlikely then don't be worried about it!

36:27 But Putin has often made threats of escalation after pretty much every weapon system sent to Ukraine by the West, Patriot missiles F-16s tanks and so forth. But critics say the Biden administration has been too slow in providing Ukraine with the necessary tools missiles, too incremental and too concerned about escalation. Now Scott what's changed recently is in making approval of long-range missiles more likely is the fact that Iran has just agreed to send hundreds of missiles to Russia and also they've trained Russian military personnel in Iran British Foreign Secretary David Lammy said that fact has quote changed the debate

37:08 Oh, it's changed the debate. I have a very...I think Mitch..I don't know if this is the same clip but play my Ukraine use of missiles clip from NPR. Ukraine is continuing to push Washington to allow Kiev to use long-range weapons provided by Western countries inside Russia. Hold on stop at the clip But the reason I want to play this is because this is the same clip. It's not the same, because it's a different person. Different yeah. The model for this clip is the same as that... Gotten you 20 of these clips and it says the fuck David a bad long-range missiles are that war is gonna be with your own Russia at war on and it's all because of Iran Inside run as we pointed out in the last show Iran has been providing Russia with drones And all these things they're all been identified. We discussed them in the newsletter with pictures I mean this isn't that this Iran thing? They're trying to shoehorn it in his bullcrap

38:09 Yeah, but it makes so much sense because then you can connect it to the Middle East and you've got a hootenanny. Countries inside Russia British Prime Minister Keir Starmer met with President Biden at the White House yesterday But Biden hasn't issued a decision yet By the way that guy who was meeting with Starmer and his Lloyd Austin That was daddy long legs. You can tell, but it's a different hair in the back. That was the different guy he still decrepit but not like the guy with the Trump hat getting on the plane that was a whole different Biden altogether who is running stuff here? I have no... And that daddy long legs are just reading what

38:50 The Donnelly brothers, whoever those guys from BlackRock are running. Yeah they're running everything. And Pierce Tom Bowman says new developments make this a tougher call for the president What's changed recently is in making approval of long-range missiles more likely is the fact that Iran has just agreed to send hundreds of missiles to Russia and also they've trained Russian military personnel in Iran British Foreign Secretary David Lammy said that fact has quote changed the debate. Meanwhile Russian President Putin says if those weapons are approved for use inside his country, that would mean NATO is at war with Russia

39:27 So I have an analysis of why Putin says NATO would then be at war with Russia. This comes from the CBC, Andrew Rassoulis who we've played before For more now we're joined by Andrew Rassoulis He is a fellow with the Canadian Global Affairs Institute he's also retired official with the Canadian Department of National Defense so let's just start with these...with the threats being made by Russian President Vladimir Putin Do you see them as credible? Yes, because we have to look at the context here. What Putin has said is that these systems should be approved will be given. They require Western, that is American British

40:05 support to fire them. They're not just like tanks, you see that you can give the Ukrainians a German tank or an American tank and the Ukrainians run it That's very different from these missile systems which require continual Western involvement through targeting analysis data and firing the whole system The Ukrainians cannot do it on their own They could only do this with the support that is hands-on of the Americans, the British or the French. And so Putin is saying because of that, that constitutes in effect a state of war." Makes nothing but sense! I mean it's already American mercenaries who are in the field and advisors... But this would be absolute proof that it is NATO behind all of this

CHAPTER 09 / 47 Discussion

Francis Fukuyama on Ukraine Strategy and Crimea

Strategist Francis Fukuyama discussed the strategic importance of long-range missiles in allowing Ukraine to target Russian operating bases in Crimea. Fukuyama expressed concern that a Donald Trump presidency would lead to a Russian victory. The segment also touches on the eventual reconstruction of Ukraine and the involvement of global corporations in the country's future.

francis fukuyama· crimea· zelensky· donald trump· deutsche welle· ukraine reconstruction

40:57 Meanwhile, the NATO gang all got together in Kiev. What are you hawing about? I just realized that I missed getting some clips of Stoltenberg. He was interviewed by Amanpour and it's going to go back... Oh, that would have been good! You should've heard this maniac. This guy is nuts! When is the Dutch guy coming in? When is Stoltenberg stepping down isn't...? I don't know. Stoltenberg likes to go out he was doing a long interview with Amanpour. I will try to go back and see if I can find them. She does so much material get some of her stuff.

41:37 which apparently is just safe enough to have everybody go over there, hang out. It was big! Everyone was there—hookers, the whole deal, champagne, caviar... A couple of those shrimp deals we like so much? Ah, the shrimp piles, a pile of shrimp on ice. Pile of shrimp with caviar on top and Deutsche Welle interviewed this guy —oh what a card this is— Professor Francis Fukuyama And Fukuyama is some long-term strategist. He's in all the think tanks, counsel on foreign relations, all those things so he's out there advising I guess Blinken and anybody but the president because the president doesn't know what he's doing So whoever is making decisions it's not our president

42:25 And this guy, this is the general attitude of the NATO but I'd say in this case American elites. of using these long-range missiles. So everyone is talking right now about the long range missiles that Ukraine is asking for, from your perspective how important are these missiles really and could they be a game changer in the situation we're experiencing right now between Russia and Ukraine? I think the long range missile are very important That will allow Ukraine to put the whole of Crimea within range where Russian forces, that's one of their major operating bases and it is very important to be able to threaten Crimea. The other basic problem is that Russia has used its own territory as a sanctuary they can launch aircraft and missiles from Russia but there is no way

43:23 can fight back and the only way you're going to stop them from doing that is by targeting objectives in Russia itself. And you can't do this if you don't have those kinds of missiles So, you would say that these missiles would be a game changer in the Panorama? Well there's no single weapon system that is going to completely change the course of the war but I think it will be very very helpful It's very helpful. So we have to bear in mind that Ukraine has already been divvied up amongst the largest corporations in the world, the Ukraine Reconstruction Projects I mean everything... The minerals that Lindsey Graham keeps talking about it's already all been divvied up They've just got this Zelensky guy sitting in the middle You know try and play his part because the whole point is they want to own everything in Ukraine Ukrainians be damned

44:17 And the worst thing that can happen is if Trump comes into office because then you know it's like this won't be good. He's going to mess it up! Do you think that if the Western allies wouldn't put so many conditions and limits on the support they're giving to Ukraine, do you think the war could then be ended soon? I think that's the only way you're going to get any kind of settlement that isn't a Russian victory. Yes, so I think it is very important. So interesting he says that's the only way we'll get any kind of settlement that isn't a Russian victory. He says its very important there's a settlement because we don't want to torch Ukraine because there's good stuff there that we already own pre-owned

45:02 We already got the down payment pre-owned it's all pre owned so we can't have him rubble ising everything I wouldn't put very many limits on them. I'm not quite sure you know what people are worried about at this point, but yeah, I think these constraints One last question the upcoming elections in the United States. So, the government here President Zelensky they're saying that would work either with Kamala Harris as a president or with Donald Trump Do you think this would make big difference regarding where the war goes? Who will be president next in the US? It's night and day I mean Donald Trump is on the Russian side so he's gonna end the war by basically allowing

45:52 Putin to get what he wants. So it's a... But President Zelensky is saying that he could work with him! Well of course, he has to say that you know? He can't alienate Trump before he was even elected but I think that is going to be the disaster for Ukraine if Trump is elected No, It's gonna be disaster for YOU! For You! We can have Russia keeping all the good stuff That's ours So, so then for whatever reason I think it's kind of obvious the US is like no and as we know from the Ukraine-Israel so called border deal or the Ukraine Israel funding bill. We know that the only person who can authorize the use of the attack comes to us long range missiles is the president only the president at his discretion

CHAPTER 10 / 47 Discussion

German Taurus Missiles and European Military Involvement

Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson urged German Chancellor Olaf Scholz to deploy Taurus long-range missiles to Ukraine. The Taurus is a German-Swedish air-launched cruise missile that has become a point of contention in European military aid discussions. The segment explores the pressure on Germany to increase its involvement despite fears of escalating the conflict into a broader European war.

olaf scholz· boris johnson· taurus missiles· germany· sweden· world war iii

46:44 And at first I was thinking, you know this could be kind of if they could hype this up enough. This could be a reason for Kamala to pull a quick 25th amendment. He can't make that decision. He's too far gone we can't have him and by the way we can have him making that decision but it seems like the powers-that-be the corporations who are running our government have decided, no let's not do that. Let the Germans do it! This is Deutsche Welle interviewing Boris Johnson. Do you think it's time for the long-range missiles coming from Germany?

47:27 I think that Olaf has done extraordinary things already. Olaf Schultz? But, I do think the Taurus needs to be deployed. Yeah, I do think the Taurus needs to be deployed The Taurus missile... That is a joint German-French outfit that we—I don't think we have anything to do with them, the Taurus missiles So, oh US won't do it? Let the Germans kick off World War 3. Olaf should go... Come on Olaf you can do it man! You pussy man come on! Come on Olaf send them over there! ...but I do think that the terrorists need to be deployed and I hope very much that the German government will do that but also we all need to do more and

48:17 United States France we all and we'll need to do more together, but I'm sure we will The US elections for this war I said just now. I hope very much that America will continue with the policy of supporting Ukraine whoever is the whoever is the president This okay by the way just as clarification yes, the Taurus is a German Swedish Oh Swedish. I'm sorry air-launched cruise missile Yes, Swedish I thought the French had a role in it too, I guess that's wrong. No just-that's it All right so but it's the Germans! They're egging on the Germans now Well the Germans are suckers for this sort of thing You think? They've done it a couple of times they're gonna start World War III Yeah they were totally suckered into World War One

CHAPTER 11 / 47 Discussion

Corporate Interests and Trench Warfare in Ukraine

A critique of the "college of corporations" suggests that the war in Ukraine is driven by the interests of the military-industrial complex and future reconstruction profits. NHK footage of the conflict depicts brutal World War I-style trench warfare and the extensive use of landmines in the Donbass region. The narrative posits that the primary obstacle to peace is the insistence on Ukrainian NATO membership.

nhk· donbass· landmines· military-industrial complex· trench warfare

49:05 And then they brought it on themselves in World War II. Yeah, they have this tendency to fall into this. But you know I look at all of this and this has nothing... Well first of all if you can walk down any street in Europe or any street in America and say hey do you hate Russians? People are like no! Do you not hate Russians? Yeah I know some Russians Are they horrible evil people? No You can walk down Moscow. Do you hate Americans? No This is the college of corporations that runs the system. It really is, and it all fits together people always say who's they? This is they! They are running this show and its just agendas that fit together because you get

49:51 The corporations that build this stuff, the corporations who are going to own Ukraine. These corporations send money to politicians for re-election funds and they get tons of money into the lobbyists All this plays back into Wall Street it plays back into the banks It's only about dollars Petrodollars Eurodollars Euros Pounds Used to be won in the rubles This is all a business And in a way, that's kind of why Trump is so hated. Because he is not a dummy for the system the way Harris is perfect. Yeah she's a dummy. She's dummy, she's a multi-culti candidate, she's got all the things you need... I mean even the Republican and Democrat Party, the whole idea is to give us the illusion that we're voting for the lesser of two evils and it's always some dummy!

50:45 It seems like the final goal is one big holding company that all these douchebags own a share of. That'll be, that's your New World Order right there. So one of the things Stoltenberg said He went on and on about how great this war is, and why it has to continue. He says because our end goal... he said this! Our end goal is to make sure that Ukraine is a member of NATO. Yeah And we want to expedite that. That's the only reason this war is going on! Russia does not want them to be a member of NATO. They want this just a neutral state there and we want them to be in member of NATO, all you have to do is change that one variable to okay, we're not gonna be a member of NATO and the war's over they can't bring themselves to it. And what grossed me out was NHK had a one half hour or even an hour I couldn't watch more than 10 minutes of it because it was making me sick

51:45 cell phone videos of the war in Ukraine taken by the Ukrainian soldiers. Oh, you see that stuff? It's bad! Oh they have some guy jump at there and they point out some of the details as they show these cell phone videos Russia has that entire line there where between the Donbass and Ukraine yeah just millions of landmines and all kinds of pits and holes. And the Ukrainians, meanwhile if you see some of these videos they're in deep eight foot deep trenches that looks like World War I style fighting it's horrible especially what got me finally was some guy jumping off a tank to get through one his buddies as he jumped off he landed right on a mine

CHAPTER 12 / 47 Discussion

German Energy Policy and Nuclear Power Plant Shutdowns

The "Energiewende" policy in Germany led to the shutdown of advanced, hardened nuclear power plants in favor of solar and wind energy. Critics argue this was a successful psychological operation that left the German energy grid vulnerable. The discussion links these energy decisions to broader geopolitical risks and the potential for expanded conflict in Europe.

germany· energiewende· nuclear power· solar energy· wind power· psyop

52:37 And they had it filmed. This was, this is a mess I've been seeing this you know for the past two years on these telegram channels and you see all these tanks get taken out all the time It's like a joke Yeah well me imagine that all what you've been watching over time it just compressed into one hour special Oh God What did that air on? NHK So get a link to that so people can watch it. It's not like I would do this, I think it is sadistic to watch it. Just spitballing here but if they send the Taurus missiles in, I don't think you're going to get your flattened Eiffel Tower. They are going to blow something back up in Germany

53:26 Well, maybe that was the plan all along when they decided to shut down all the nuclear power plants because you're gonna start blowing stuff up in Germany. You don't want all those things flying all over the place and one of our producers in Germany sent me a note I don't have it here but I can summarize as he says It's so amazing how the PSYOP worked on the German people when they all said, oh no, Energiewende. Oh we all have to go to solar and wind! They had the most advanced nuclear plants. They were so hardened that they even did a demonstration by flying an airplane into one of these nuclear plants just to show that nothing would happen

54:08 They crashed an airplane into one of those... Yeah. They were advanced, they were modern and they just convinced the German public that it was okay to shut them down! Wow! Well the German public seems susceptible to these sorts of programs more than any other people. Well they have guilts I mean... Well I think Americans are pretty dumb too but... We're up there we're up there But this is, I've not been worried. And you know, I also don't think nuclear war is something that is likely to happen but a full on war in Europe? Yeah this seems quite possible or at least expanded to Germany This is so insane these people must be stopped. Not gonna happen. They must be that's why Trump should win You know the question is

55:09 Can Trump play enough of the cards with the corporations? To get in are there enough is there enough agenda? He gave that speech in front of the financial group in New York That's what I'm hoping because otherwise trying to convince them that and I think his Trump card trump card so to speak Which is what he has a trump card Was this idea of losing reserve currency status for the US dollar that would that would ruin most international corporations they need that and for a lot of different reasons, including the fact that we can deficit finance and not really worry about it too much. Yeah which they benefit from everybody benefits from that I hope so because you know look they tried to kill him already because that's forgot about that

CHAPTER 13 / 47 Discussion

ABC Whistleblower Rumors and Assassination Report Claims

Unverified reports of an ABC News whistleblower claiming Kamala Harris received debate questions in advance are dismissed as lacking credibility. Additionally, Congressman Jamie Raskin reportedly mentioned an upcoming "shocking" report regarding the assassination attempt on Donald Trump. The segment characterizes these stories as part of a chaotic social media information environment.

abc news· jamie raskin· assassination attempt· whistleblower· affidavit

56:01 Has that ever talked about anymore? Nah. I saw Jamie Raskin in the hall, with audio was too crappy, in the hallways of Congress saying oh we have a report coming out it will be shocking to the American people about the assassination and I'm like okay sure unless it shows you with your hand on the trigger and I don't believe it not for a second not for a second By the way, breaking breaking breaking ABC whistleblower says Kamala got questions ahead of time. Did you see that? Yeah the funny thing about that particular report is the source It's bullshit because this morning breaking breaking ABC whistleblower has been killed in bizarre car crash Puh-lease it was nothing it was nothing it was completely nothing there what you so whistleblower and he signed an affidavit which was notarized one day before the debate

57:02 It's meaningless! And by the way, you're not a whistleblower if you're anonymous. That is not a whistleblower. That's an anonymous source. Yeah. Ugh... yeah we've gone crazy. This social media is not good either Okay, let me lighten it up for a second. Just lighten it up for one moment little little light to light stuff this morning this took place 200 embracing copy 200 embrace Bracing first splashdown that will be the final call we hear from Jared until contact with the ocean surface

CHAPTER 14 / 47 Discussion

SpaceX Polaris Dawn Mission and Spacewalk Critique

The SpaceX Polaris Dawn mission concluded with a splashdown in the ocean after a crew led by Jared Isaacman reached altitudes higher than the International Space Station. The mission featured a highly publicized "spacewalk" using new tethered suits, though critics noted the astronauts did not fully exit the capsule. The flight also served to study radiation exposure within the Van Allen belts.

spacex· polaris dawn· jared isaacman· spacewalk· van allen belts· nasa

57:45 Standing by for a splashdown of the Polaris Dawn crew. Here we go! And there you can see... As you can see on your screen and by the cheers behind us the Polaris Dawn crew has successfully splashed down Welcome back to planet Earth Polaris Don well done. Okay couple things about this one Disappointing that we're still landing in the ocean with parachutes

58:22 Well, how about we do that on landing? You know like pshh on Earth. Pshhh. That disappoints me. What if a starship thing from Boeing landed in the desert? Yeah it looked like a pretty harsh landing to me Second... what was the big headline of this SpaceX Polaris Dawn mission? What was the big headline? They walked into space! They didn't walk into space!! The guy sticks his head out the hatch He's got one arm like it's in a cast and then he goes back down. And they call that a spacewalk? Yeah! It was not a space walk, and in fact I learned quite a bit from France 24 I think or maybe it was Deutsche Welle who brought in a NASA space nerd to talk about it

59:13 And it was actually, I learned a lot about what's happening and what this was about. A new era in private space flight has begun for the first time ever two private astronauts from SpaceX... That is 24 guys. Yeah it is 24. No no I'm sorry that is for Deutsche Welle. Have completed a space walk which saw them leave their dragon capsule protected only by their spacesuit. SpaceX' new spacesuit has been years in development. Years! we saw today. Well let's pull in Keith Cowing now he is editor of nasawatch.com, Keith good to see you again so NASA calling this a giant leap forward... I want to stop it for a second yeah i saw this too I thought that this was kind of a non-story because there was some point behind and I never could figure out what they're getting at here go back to play more

1:00:09 Well, what I okay. Well you know the play continue or I want to say the the commercial space industry is that what it is? Yeah You know and there's something about this thing in some ways this has been done before Back in a day when I was a little kid This is how they first Soviet and American astronauts went out they just kind of did a little thing and then came back in. Then NASA developed, uh, and Russia developed space suits that have backpacks—my little thing here—they have a backpack that has all their life support but today...and of course these spacesuits by the way NASA's been using them for 40 years they're trying to make new ones but it's taken them decades and they still haven't done it

1:00:49 Well, SpaceX took some of Mr. Isaacman's money and went and developed these new suits and they're kind of like brand-new sexy things that are 21st century but at the same time we have a tether so they don't need the backpack to get all their oxygen from this So it's something old something new something tried something true It's new and older than new and old No it's new and old and bullcrap What they're doing here is replaying 40 or 50 years ago, which again for me is all questionable. Since there's nothing, there is only one difference between the spacesuits that are as old as I am and these are the ones that are tethered. It doesn't even have a fancy backpack which means you can actually walk in space. And the funny thing is during this presentation the guy had little action figurines he was using to show off. I know! I actually cut out one part of it like shut up with your action figurines douche. You're making my argument weaker.

1:01:52 So it's not a spacewalk, the guy comes out not even to his waist. He is tethered so the oxygen is coming through an umbilical cord So they looked cooler maybe. They were a little thinner, yeah? Was that it? No! It's really about something that is an old trope for Adam This crew went three times higher than the International Space Station was that risky I mean what are the risks of going so far? iI's risky in that not for the spacecraft you can do this easily but you go into one region near the Van Allen belts where you get radiation dose

1:02:29 somewhat like three times larger than you'd get if you were in the space station for six months, but you only dwell or stay there for a short period of time. That said any spacewalk is dangerous and the further away you are the further away you are but these folks had it all in hand and figured out and they did their thing and maybe next time they'll float around do something more spectacular. They're trying to shield the astronauts from the Van Allen belts for when we actually try to go back to the moon again, which as you know I don't believe have ever been too. This guy is just confirming my suspicions. Oh no! I don't know if he confirmed your suspicions that well... No one can determine my suspicions being confirmed but me

CHAPTER 15 / 47 Discussion

Space Suit Experiences and Astronaut Kidney Health

A personal anecdote about wearing a vintage space suit for a Tech TV promotion highlights the claustrophobic nature of the equipment. The discussion moves to the health risks of long-term space travel, specifically citing research that suggests weightlessness and radiation can cause significant kidney damage. This is linked to the extended stay of astronauts currently on the Boeing Starliner.

space suits· tech tv· titanic· boeing starliner· radiation· kidney health

1:03:11 By the way, I've been in one of the old-fashioned space suits. You've been in one? Yeah! That's pretty cool. Points there you got me on that one. That's because we were doing a promotion at Tech TV and we had to get into suit. Ah... Dad if you'd..I don't have claustrophobia But I would have it. It's unbelievably, it's horrible What have you not done? I mean a lot Have you been to the Titanic? I haven't skydived You have not

1:03:49 No. Can I make a recommendation? What? Never jump out of a perfectly good aircraft, it's just dumb idea That's an old joke yes okay very funny I'm telling you that is just not a good idea You're going to ask me if I did what Oh! If you went into the Titanic Did you go in a submersible to the Titanic that would be something you've never done Of course not Well... you don't know There are plenty I haven't done and that would have to be one on top of list of things I don't want to do Not gonna do that But it's just, you know... Like go to the moon already. Someone go to the moon with people show me! Show me! You know? That's what they're working on. Yeah for the first time exactly for the first time

1:04:34 So maybe that's what they're doing with those astronauts, the ones who went up on the Boeing Starliner. Maybe they're just checking for radiation if we keep them up there longer than they thought will they die? Will they get fried? How long can they stand with radiation? There has been people up there for a couple of years and one of the things that turns out is it almost completely ruins your kidneys Really? Yeah, there's a bunch of research that is showing they have kidney problems because the weightlessness I guess it's not good for the kidneys. I don't know why. Well kidneys is not the only problem Boeing has. Passing drivers leaned into their horns to show some love for these Boeing workers on the picket lines Let's go!

CHAPTER 16 / 47 Discussion

Boeing Worker Strike and Production Challenges

Over 90% of Boeing union members voted to strike, citing concerns over wages and workplace surveillance. The work stoppage threatens Boeing's cash flow and recovery as it struggles to deliver new planes to airlines. Meanwhile, competition from Airbus and the development of Chinese clones of the 737 aircraft present long-term challenges to Boeing's market dominance.

1:05:17 Workers say the deal that Boeing offered doesn't cut it. They need to fight for their families and stand up for the future employees to come My son's in kindergarten right now, my daughter is hanging out with me today during the strike I feel like this is a very historic part of my life There's a real sense of unity among these workers as they stage this high visibility protest following a contract vote that more than 90% of union members shot down They say they deserve a living wage. And we're standing together against corporate greed, but most importantly for a living wage! Boeing workers are demonstrating at job sites across the region waving signs and showing their determination to hold out... Hold on. What's that?

1:05:58 Are you telling me that the Boeing workers are striking for a living wage? What are they paying them? This is not true. I was going to play the whole report to tell you that, but it's not about the living wage. They are sick and tired of being spied on, being harassed You know, ever since all these problems came about now the crackdown is so harsh that they're being everyone's being watched every second of the day. They hate it! It's become an unworkable environment which makes sense Really? Yeah so if you don't want to do the job just raise the price it's one of my business rules

1:06:44 And then if they give you the price, like alright well it's a crap job but they're paying me really good. The region waving signs and showing their determination to hold out for a better contract I myself am not skeletal to be out here till next week But i thought uh imma come out here and do some overtime of- for the union Well Im really proud of our membership for voting away they did It was a big sign to the company that we are going to stick together on this. As long as the strike lasts, it will deprive Boeing of much needed cash that it gets from delivering new planes to airlines. The company's chief financial officer broke it down. Any impact is gonna be dictated by the duration of the work stoppage. No kidding? A strike will impact production and deliveries and operations, and will jeopardize our recovery. Late today we learned that a new round of contract talks involving the union, the company as well as a federal mediator that is set to begin sometime early next week

1:07:45 I can't help thinking that this is all a part of destroying Boeing. Destroying it completely! Maybe the Chinese planes will have to come in? The Chinese are building a clone of the 737 It's flying, there's airlines already using it. They're already using it. But the problem if they destroy Boeing where are they going to steal their designs from Well, the 737 is a fine design. We can keep using that... No I mean there's newer designs coming out and you know they have them already! They got those! Yeah but then it's gonna be stalled because they don't seem to dream up their own stuff You know everyone switching to Airbus too There's a lot of that going on The only problem Airbus has is slowdown because of interiors The interior guys can't keep up with all the different configurations

Trump Overtime Tax Proposal and Economic Policy

Donald Trump proposed eliminating federal income tax on overtime pay, a policy intended to appeal to the working class. The discussion explores the potential impact on labor laws and whether companies would adjust base pay or overtime multipliers in response. The hosts contrast this with general calls for lower overall income taxes.

1:08:37 But the SKU says they always say. Yeah, well... Full retail approach. Unfortunately Too many SKUs! Standardized It just feels to me like Boeing has got to go. They just want to screw Boeing And when does Elon announce his new airplane company? They're electric You know, one thing we do... I don't have any clips and it didn't come up in the conversation so far. And I just want to mention because it was mentioned that Boeing clip Trump coming out of the blue and saying no income tax on overtime! Yeah yeah where was that during the debate? He could have brought it out during the debate he had to have that in his back pocket But you know uh I don't know if that'll work as well as intended

1:09:33 Because typically companies will give you what, time and a half for overtime? Yeah. So wouldn't they just say well there's no taxes so there's no time and a half it's just times one for overtime or is there some law about overtime that you have to do time in a half? No, there are laws I know in California we have laws that if you work overtime you have to have time and a half at least How about just low income tax? Double-time, double-time Here's here's a tip for President Trump how would just no income tax Just like... no income tax Well just print it. I got it all figured out people, he's got some problems though

Laura Loomer Controversy and Trump Campaign Association

Far-right activist Laura Loomer has drawn criticism from both Democrats and Republicans for her presence on Donald Trump's campaign plane. MSNBC's Joy Reid and Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene highlighted Loomer's past controversial statements regarding Islam and Kamala Harris. Trump has defended her as a "free spirit" while distancing himself from her specific remarks.

laura loomer· donald trump· joy reid· msnbc· marjorie taylor greene

1:10:10 He's got some problems. This is the latest talking point about Trump Earlier in the day, the former committer chief held a news conference at his golf resort in California It's there he faced questions on a woman who has been traveling with him named Laura Loomer A far-right activist and 9 11 conspiracy theorist who has posted racist language about Harris With some of Trump allies now asking him to distance himself from her Laura is a supporter I don't control Laura. Laura has to say what she wants, she's a free spirit What is he doing? Well first of all where did this report come from That was...I think that's local California

1:10:55 What was the racist language? Oh, I have that from Joy Reid. For all things race we go to Joy Reid on MSNBC Donald John Trump just look at the people he's surrounding himself with People like Laura Loomer now you'd be forgiven if you have no idea who that is She's mostly known for hawking right-wing conspiracies and bigotry on the fringiest corners of the internet she described herself as pro white nationalism and a Proud Islamophobe has called Islam a cancer on humanity. In 2018, she handcuffed herself to Twitter's office building after being banned from the social media site wearing a yellow Star of David and comparing her Twitter ban to the Holocaust. After the passing of Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee in July, Loomer called her a quote ghetto B word and suggested she was going to hell

1:11:50 And just the other day she posted that if Kamala Harris wins the election, the White House will smell like curry and speeches will be facilitated via a call center. Racist much? It was a statement so beyond the pale that even Marjorie Taylor Greene called it racist. Yeah because it'll smell like curry That's... how is that racist? Everything is racist. If I go to an Indian restaurant, it smells like curry. Am I being a racist? Yes you are! When I go there and say hey this smells great because curry smells terrific by the way people should note that. Racists The call center line was actually funny. Pretty funny, I agree with that

1:12:30 But what is it? Yeah, Loomer's kind of a screwball. There's no doubt about it I don't think there's any question about it and she goes go to the suit. She's not part of his campaign but she just hanging around on the plane yeah but people get on that okay well she's on the plane what are they gonna do tell her did you get how does she get permission to get on the plane this has been explored Trump he says yeah let her on the plane He's defending her for a fact. No, of course I don't know it for 100% fact but is his plane you Know that handles the who gets on the plane is I don't think Trump's going over there The lawn to list the people he defended her

1:13:15 Yeah, well he yeah of course that's what he does. And if you walk in the supermarket look at the rags, the tabloids... Oh! He is having sex with her. Yeah I know, I saw that. Yeah, there you go it's not good. You should eliminate her from his life immediately Well if she was smart she'd eliminate herself She should know she's doing a campaign and she's hurting things No, she's a narcissist Yeah, probably. Probably? If you're... Lumerized! Exactly by definition. Let me see there was some other funny stuff

PBS Coverage of Trump and Harris Foreign Policy

PBS NewsHour provided a rare balanced report on the foreign policy pledges of the presidential candidates. Donald Trump vowed to end the chaos in the Middle East and settle the war in Ukraine as president-elect. Kamala Harris, in her first solo TV interview, framed herself as a leader representing a new generation focused on unity rather than division.

1:13:58 Well, I got a funny clip that's from TikTok which is little different topic. It's about gender ideology No, I wanted to stay with Trump. Okay gonna switch away. Oh you're gonna I got Trump Yeah Just I want to just this for this funny shit I can take you in we're gonna say I way I got two Trump clips I want to get out of the way. All right now this one did PBS it because we still have this background thinking that Trump is the guy they wanted and Yes, yes to deal with the war in Germany. The war between...the Germo-Russo War or how are we gonna call it? Russo. German Russo War I thought now these are two clips one on Trump and followed up by a clip on Harris from PBS is TRMP. I thought this was a gratuitous clip that was just semi complimentary from PBS NewsHour

1:14:57 Ongoing foreign wars played a part in the US presidential campaign with former President Donald Trump making this pledge to voters during a campaign stop last night in Las Vegas. I will end the chaos in the Middle East and I will settle the war on Ukraine as president-elect Would anybody like to be at war with Russia? If necessary we would, but preferably not No no preferably not So that was like unusual I thought because it wasn't slamming Trump for one thing or another. It was kind of like okay and then they play the little thing on Harris to balance it and you get this. Vice President Kamala Harris in her first solo TV interview since becoming a Democratic nominee said she offers a new generation of leadership with a different purpose than her opponent Most Americans want a leader who brings us together as Americans

1:15:56 Someone who professes to be a leader, who is trying to have us point our fingers at each other. Yeah that's her main talking point right now We're so tired of it! Which is actually not bad from a persuasion standpoint... we're so tired of being divisive, we are so tired of being... Well they are the divisive lines... Well hello, what you say about yourself Meanwhile, back at the ranch. Just deal with that. F U Taylor Swift Well look we admire Taylor Swift's music but I don't think most Americans whether they like her music or not This is a little, it's a little melange this is obviously coming back to Joy Reid Yeah this I understand But who...I'd like to know who likes Taylor Swift's music

Taylor Swift Endorsement and Voter Registration Surge

Following the presidential debate, Taylor Swift endorsed Kamala Harris, reportedly leading to a 400-500% increase in voter registration traffic. The endorsement sparked a backlash in "MAGA world," which also targeted WNBA star Kaitlyn Clark for liking Swift's post. The segment includes a satirical montage regarding the "Taylor Swift is not a psyop" media narrative.

1:16:53 Can you even hum one of her songs? And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate. That's the only one that the way you think should influence other people By the way I'm sorry we have someone who can sing every single Taylor Swift song and that person is Darren O'Neal Look at the nonsense our media is discussing. This is such

1:17:42 Nonsense. Look, when grocery prices go up by 20 percent it hurts most Americans it doesn't hurt Taylor Swift. Well that's pretty much what you would expect from Donald Trump in the MAGA world following Taylor Swift endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris after the debate this week all because she had the audacity to share her thoughts with her fans about the upcoming election and reminding them to register to vote Despite the MAGA outrage, the Swifties assembled with reports of an increase in voter registration—get this—by 400 to 500 percent since her endorsement. And now MAGA World has set its focus on its latest target following Swiftgate… WNBA star Kaitlyn Clark! Why you may ask?

1:18:24 Well, because she dared to simply like Swift's Instagram post. Apparently that's all it takes to set these people off! It seems the MAGA nut does not fall far from the Trump tree Morning, Taylor Swift is not a psyop. Taylor Swift is not a psyop. Taylor Swift is not a psyop. Taylor Swift is not a psyop. Taylor Swift is not a psyop. Taylor Swift is not a psyop. Taylor Swift is not a psyop. Taylor Swift is not a psyop. Taylor Swift is not a psyop. Taylor Swift is not a psyop.

Smithsonian Castle Cistern Discovery and Tunnel Theories

Construction crews renovating the Smithsonian "Castle" on the National Mall discovered a 30-foot deep cistern dating back to 1847. While the discovery fueled speculation about secret tunnels under Washington D.C., officials stated the structure was simply for gathering rainwater. This leads to a discussion of various urban legends regarding underground military bases and high-speed trains.

1:19:04 No, I guess it's going around. That was the Sinclair Broadcasting where he does this? Exactly! Taylor Swift is not a psyop. Of course not... Okay now you can go into trans Maoism because we're there. Since you play the non-story of Taylor Swift, I have the worst non story ever from NPR and this is one minute clip I put it on the list, it was actually in the last list. And it's like such a non-story that I'm gonna say in advance this is a waste of one minute of your life. Oh, we'll never get it back people! A secret chamber 30 feet deep was recently uncovered under the National Mall in Washington DC Not exactly Harry Potter's Chamber of Secrets but still cause for a lot of speculation about the question What was it for? A construction crew discovered at the cistern while renovating a part of the Smithsonian known as The Castle They only found this hole

1:20:05 because of a long-term effort to revitalize this part of the historic building, the first in half a century. Built in 1847, the structure's main function was gathering rainwater but 120 years ago it was sealed off entirely until this construction crew discovered it last month while there are some false rumors and Hollywood blockbusters alleging that a labyrinth of archives or secret tunnels lie underground There's nothing out of the ordinary about this cistern except maybe that it still exists at all. Yes, we must disclose zero secret symbols Zero ancient archives were found in the rainwater receptacle after it was uncovered Sorry to burst your bubble National Treasure fans Don't look over here! Nothing to see here! Ooh, look a- Yeah no, there's- Sorry to burst your bubble This is a... They've digg- they found a cistern

1:20:57 And they made a story out of it. Yeah, because they have to cover up the tunnels! We all know there's an underground network of tunnels that connects everything Denver to Washington DC with high-speed trains... Come on! I remember in the 70s there was a fad of hitchhiking in this country and friends of mine did hitchhike cars everyone was hitchhiking all over the place And so I picked up a hitchhiker once and, uh...I think it was- there's a lot of cute girls hitchhiking. This didn't last for long for obvious reasons and with just deadpan she told me about this submarine bases that are under Lake Tahoe Yeah! That submarines come into the shore Wait wait wait wait! I need to back this story up So you picked up a hitchhiker

Submarine Base Urban Legends and Underground Cities

A personal anecdote recalls a hitchhiker's claim that secret submarine bases exist under Lake Tahoe, connected to the Pacific via tunnels. The discussion references RFK Jr.'s claims about underground bases in the 1960s and notes the existence of real underground pedestrian networks in cities like Montreal and Toronto.

lake tahoe· san francisco bay· rfk jr· montreal· underground city

1:21:56 Yeah. Okay, first what car are you driving? I was driving a Mustang Oh yeah! JCD bam-bam hey baby now which did she just thumbing it or did she have a sign that's going my way? You want to hear the basis for this story and look for lewd lascivious details that don't exist The fact that you had a mustang with a glass pack muffler Hey baby, where you going? Going my way. I'm just trying to visualize it for everybody. You're a legend! No, you being Adam Schiff is what you're doing. You're a legend! Okay so...

1:22:36 The idea was, and it was just with a dead straight face and total seriousness. And I've run into this, but California's loaded with these people. The submarines come in the San Francisco Bay into an underground tunnel that's big enough to carry submarines, and the submarines go all the way through California. You know, I think it's like 200 miles to get them to Lake Tahoe And then they're based there. So how many tabs did you guys eat together? I'm just saying, it's just like who comes up with this stuff and why would they base... what's the point?! Does it matter? It's what we do in America! We think about our government like we're in some space-age sci-fi movie

1:23:27 And I will point out that RFK Jr. himself said that he was taken to the underground base in the 60s and they had a McDonald's and Old City there, you think they didn't expand that? It could have been in Quebec! If you go to Montreal there is a whole underground city...and there is one in Toronto and there is one in Edmonton They are huge and they have McDonald's down there So I can see Kennedy being stoned on something and then going down underneath the York Hotel. The York Hotel is one of the butt ends of one of the tunnels underneath Toronto, you can go... He was in DC! They didn't drug him when he was a kid! Yeah, he's probably down where the subway is. Alright, alright. Mo mo mo mo mo mo mo mo mo mo mo mo mo Trensmo! Alright whatcha got?

Gender Liberation March and Project 2025 Opposition

The first "Gender Liberation March" took place in Washington D.C., organized by activist Raquel Willis to protest restrictions on gender-affirming care. Participants marched past the Capitol and the Heritage Foundation, specifically targeting the "Project 2025" policy platform. The organizers frame the movement as a fight for bodily autonomy and reproductive justice.

gender liberation march· washington dc· supreme court· project 2025· raquel willis

1:28:04 exaggerated and encouraged by organizations. In just a few hours, the first ever gender liberation march will take place in DC The event comes as the US Supreme Court has agreed to take up the case challenging Tennessee's ban on gender affirming care Arguments will be heard in the fall and a decision is expected next summer. The demonstration was coordinated by the Gender Liberation Movement, which states that they are marching for bodily autonomy, self-determination, collectivism and the pursuit of fulfillment in the face of increasing restrictions on communities on the margins." I don't want to sound boomerish but whatever happened just burning your bra? Man back in the 70s that was cool like burn the bra ladies!

1:28:49 Gender liberation movement. Well, what this is about and all the words are tricky you know gender was a gender-based health care You know it's like I'm ill I want to perpetuate this illness please would you enable me with operations and medications And these organizations are the ones that are doing this to young people. I'm not going to say children, but even young people before your 25 year a moron! You don't know what you're doing and then it's cool as cool now. What about the transition transitioned six-year olds? Yeah well that is of course child abuse. The parents should be arrested here well but the parents have been told

1:29:39 If you don't do this to your child, your child will kill itself. That's what they've been told so it is an evil demonic scheme and here's one of the organizers Raquel Willis Joining us now is one of the core organizers of The March author and activist Raquel Willis Raquel thank you so much for joining us we appreciate it but now how do you think Raquel is going to sound? She's gonna sound like a gay male Thanks for having me wet. So Raquel, let me ask you first how did the idea for this march come about and how long have you been? Have you already heard these clips or is it just an educated guess? No no I have not heard these clips but as i've been collecting these clips longer than you have I know exactly what's going on. Working to organize for them. Formulaic! Yes it's true here we go Well we like to say that this march is years in the making We know that there have been so many attacks

1:30:33 on various communities on the margins, especially LGBTQ plus folks. But of course folks who need access to abortion and reproductive justice. So in the last year we started to build a bit of a coalition of different leaders and organizations who believe that we all deserve to make our own decisions about our bodies. And with The Vocal Fry it's fantastic! I mean, okay. I have more...I have two more of these just to make it worse. I'm all ears here! No you're loving it yes did you ever see Victor Victoria by any chance? That was a great play Julie Andrews... Those days are over being a woman played beyond that well that wasn't mind-bender it was Julie Andrews playing who as a woman playing a man playing a woman I mean that was tough that wasn't that was complicated

1:31:24 talented person. Yes she was and if counter protesters come out today how is the organization working to make sure that participants stay safe? Stay safe. Well, we definitely have a robust and strong safety team that is there guiding us through the streets. We're going to take our voices and our bodies past the Capitol. We're going to go past the Supreme Court as you said. And then we're also gonna take this right outside of The Heritage Foundation. As many folks know The Heritage Foundation are they are a key architect of Project 2025

1:32:01 We know that plan they are putting forth will restrict so many of our rights as queer and trans folks, as women, as folks of color. And we just want to let it be known that we're not going to have that. We're gonna raise our voices and continue the fight." So this was a clear giveaway...and I think all of this transgender- the amplification of transgenderism It has been political from day one. It's not about people or children, it's just another thing like Kara Swisher. They're just going after trans kids because they hate the gays and Republicans hate the gays and they got gay marriage and they hate that. It is all political. All of it!

Reversible Hormones and Transgender Healthcare Debate

An ABC News segment on the Tennessee ban on gender-affirming care for minors describes the use of "reversible hormones" to delay puberty. Critics argue the term "reversible" is a medical inaccuracy used to downplay the life-changing nature of the treatments. Activist Raquel Willis advocates for dialogue with the trans community rather than "regressive" legislation.

abc news· gender-affirming care· puberty blockers· minors· tennessee

1:32:47 But then the key question, this is ABC by the way. The key question- And Raquel as you know some of the things that you're advocating for have become controversial political issues in this really divided country. Really? You don't say that's what she's about wit That we're in right now several Republican led states have taken steps to bar access to gender affirming care for transgender minors which for people under 18 that typically involves using reversible hormones delay reversible hormones oh boy really have they invented something we didn't hear about that's a lie that's a lie that's a big fat lie well that's a Disney Disney Disney there you go by the way

1:33:29 I would cancel your Disney subscription. They're controlling your kids, mind-controlling them. Minors which for people under 18 that typically involves using reversible hormones to delay puberty so what do you say to people who may have nothing against the trans community at all but just believe that minors are simply too young to be making these life changing decisions? Oh! You want to put any prop bets on the answer Prop bet. You're lexicon. Yeah, you prop bet? Finally! Prop bet? You want to bet on this one what is the answer? What would be the prop it would it be she well there's only a binary situation she's gonna say she's gonna have some bogus reason that it's good I can't but I can't actually might be surprised

1:34:17 Well, I would suggest that folks get to know trans folks across all ages. You know our experiences are not new not something that just kind of fell out of the sky yesterday as many folks have thought we have elders we have ancestors and trancestors who were... Trancesters! is good holy moly what a show title mind us that queer trans and non-binary folks have always existed and actually one of the key struggles for a lot of our people has actually been having access to the health care that we deserve so we understand folks may have questions but let's actually

These levels are noted to be within the range of common medical prescriptions.

1:38:29 Good morning guys. Yeah, so that the link here between psychosis and mania and amphetamine stimulants isn't new That's something that we've known for a while but what since when has this been discussed? It is as you discuss whether we know You know you speed freaks used to be called course as what is nearly good, you know Hitler was one of them by the way. Yes he was. We're sort of getting some information about what doses are required to increase your risk here developing those symptoms like psychosis or mania and you can see here what we found is that if you take more than these doses on the screen, so more than 40 milligrams of Adderall, more than 100 milligrams of Vyvanse or 30 milligrams there of Dexedrine You have a 5.3 greater likelihood of developing psychosis These are normal prescription levels

1:39:19 40 milligrams of Adderall, 100 milligrams of Vyvanse. So psychosis which... Is that right? Yes! At normal it's in the story here somewhere I think the normal is 40 to 60 as your typical prescription no the medium dosage of Adderall is 20 to 40 less medium That's medium, that means there is as many above and below. Yes. 50 to 100 for Vyvanse so hundreds at the top end but it's all medium range. So you... That means most people are getting, or not most but half the people are getting a psychotic dose! Yeah and do you think that you could do stuff like I don't know shoot up a school? Or do something radical? No no thats an interesting theory but never heard such an idea But it really doesn't matter because pretty soon schools will just have machine

AI Mental Health Apps and Palo Alto University

The Doro app uses AI technology to provide early mental health intervention for teens and young adults. The segment features Eduardo Bungay, a professor at Palo Alto University, who supports AI as a first line of treatment. The hosts question the credentials of "Palo Alto University," identifying it as a private non-profit specializing in behavioral health and LGBTQ+ issues.

doro app· ai· mental health· palo alto university· psychology· therapy

1:40:11 The machine will be a dispenser, you go into the machine and talk to the machine. The machine will say yeah I think you need up your meds. The Doro app uses AI technology like TagGPT to offer users early mental health intervention Oh yes, there's an app for early mental... Listen if you're on an app you already need early mental health help. The user types their symptoms and questions in a chat field and Doro calling from information available to it tailors the treatment and writes back. Water right in their face. That's right, that'll help! The app according to Rossolli is also programmed to glean if a person is experiencing serious or potentially dangerous symptoms like severe depression or suicidal ideation This is the point that if we realize the symptoms are too serious We refer them to a therapist Oh yeah get that guy in Apps like Doros Hold on hold on a second

1:41:24 Have you noticed the use of the word ideation when they bring up suicide? I don't remember as a kid anyone ever saying, suicide ideation. I think it's an interesting phrase. Which means you're toying with the idea? No, i think it means your idealizing advantages of suicide. No no no, ideation... that is real suicidal. Well let's look it up! Consult the book of knowledge! Ideation. Fine ideas. Ideation, okay... The capacity for the act of forming or entertaining ideas So you're ideating which it's like a- We used to use this at MeVio Yeah we were ideating on that

1:42:17 It sounds like a Silicon Valley. Yes, yeah we were ideating on... I've never heard anyone say ideating in my life Well you heard it now Except now! Now I have. You have? Yes you've heard it Severe depression or suicidal ideation This is the point that if we realize the symptoms are too serious We refer them to a therapist Yeah and the therapist will prescribe you drugs It's so obvious Apps like Doro seek to help fill a gap especially for young adults and teens who tend to report higher rates of mental health problems. This is a portal, this is a portal to suck kids in to getting them on drugs! A 2022 study by Canadian Alliance of Student Associations revealed that one in three students said campus mental health resources did not meet their needs

1:43:01 The entry of AI into psychology and psychiatry is a polarizing issue for experts. Eduardo Bungay, professor of psychology at Palo Alto University who specializes in children and adolescents sees mostly positive outcomes. So this is like a very good first line of treatment that may not be... What school did they say? Palo Alto University. There is no such school. Let me listen again. Entry of AI into psychology and psychiatry is a polarizing issue for experts Eduardo Bungay, professor of psychology at Palo Alto University who says... There's no such thing as the Palo Alto University I've never heard of Palo Alto, unless it's not in the Bay Area or some other Palo Alto someplace else but Palo Alto University

1:43:50 This is new to me. Here it is, Palo Alto University... Yeah? Where's it? I'm going to look. Aboot, let me see. Private non-profit... Palo Alto University a private nonprofit university located in the heart of Northern California Silicon Valley that's where you are! It's dedicated to addressing pressing and emerging issues, and specializing in behavioral health to equitably meet the needs of today's diverse communities. Boy! Well this is some bogus operation... That sure sounds like it doesn't it? Well I mean its allegedly bogus, I'll say that but because they may be litigious for all I know-I've never heard of them Huh

1:44:42 And I'm in the Bay Area and i've never heard of them. So they bring some guy, and they couldn't bring a Stanford guy or Berkeley guy or Santa Clara guy or San Jose State guy Or any major... you know we have major universities in the area but they're bringing that guy from Palo Alto University? That's like the singularity university They gonna bring that guy next? At PAU you can expect to transformative education tailored to your needs Our programs offer one-to-one advising, practical experience through internships and placements expert faculty guidance and supportive community. Graduates from PAU find themselves well prepared for careers in psychology counseling social work and behavioral health This is some kind of outfit man

1:45:28 They were definitely specialized. Yeah, that's for sure. Eduardo Bungay professor of psychology at Palo Alto University who specializes in children and adolescents sees mostly positive outcomes so this is like a very good first line of treatment that may not be sufficient may not be enough but it's better than nothing This is... Would they get the guy from a Woody Allen movie? Listen to this. So, they specialize in lesbian gay bisexual and transgender mental health cognitive behavioral approaches to childhood anxiety disorders pediatric psychology this is this is a frightening group gender issues that they must be pumping out salesmen

Pandemic Lockdowns and Accelerated Brain Aging in Teens

Research indicates that COVID-era lockdowns contributed to accelerated brain aging in teenagers, with girls' brains aging four years faster than normal. The study attributes this to the loss of social interaction and increased rates of anxiety and depression. Medical contributors suggest parents focus on emotional well-being rather than panicking over the physical brain changes.

covid-19· lockdowns· brain development· anxiety· depression· abc news

1:46:22 for gender health care could be it's definitely specialized yeah all right well then let me finalize all this nonsense with the the latest we have to worry about for your teens. A new study is revealing unusual changes in teenagers' brain development during the pandemic. Yeah, that was a good one! That was a good time kids It's not that surprising to know there are actual brain changes that happened during the pandemic given everything that teens especially teen girls faced This guy sounds like he is a graduate of the Palo Alto University

1:47:02 The study found COVID era lockdowns ended up aging teenagers brains faster than the usual rate. More than four years faster than usual in girls compared to just over a year faster in boys. The authors hypothesize that adolescent girls were affected more than boys because they may be more dependent on that social interaction and being able to connect with their friends Back in 2018, researchers began tracking brain changes in 160 people ages 9 to 17. They found lockdowns contributed to an increase of anxiety depression and behavioral disorders causing their brains to mature faster the same type of accelerated brain aging has been documented in teens who've suffered severe trauma stress and neglect

1:47:51 But it's important to note that these studies don't exactly tell us what the long-term effects are or if the process can be reversed or slowed down with the right type of emotional support moving forward. Oh man, we screwed up the world! This is on purpose yeah lockdowns was a good idea wasn't it guys? Two weeks to flatten the curve President Trump Flatten that curve. All right, so we've got to talk more about this We want to bring in ABC News medical contributor Dr. Alok Patel Yeah, please Patel, Alok... Umm..Dr. Patel it's good to see you You sort of explained for us in that story what happened but how concerned should parents be about this new finding? Parents already being concerned about what happened to the kids during COVID and can the negative impact here be reversed in any way By the way I would say to all the producers listening right now Don't believe any of this nonsense

1:48:51 Don't fall for it. Don't take your kid to the doctor, don't be looking if your kid is feeling older This is all just medical sales It's a sales job every single bit of it Yeah put you kid on some meds so he'll be fine and he's good I think parents should be just more aware about the true impact that the stress of the pandemic stress from all around us That's had on those developing teen brains. What the study really does is it adds some physical evidence to what we already know about how sensitive teen brains are during those critical years and how fragile they really are now, the headline is alarming but it's important for people out there to understand that our brains go through changes with age

1:49:32 with maturity. And so some of these changes are not necessarily bad on their own, but they can be accelerated with stress. So I don't think parents should really panic from the headline, but what they should be doing instead is really doing what they can to pay attention to the emotional wellbeing of their teens and their young kids. And use the proper pronouns! So you don't stress them more... Whatever happened to our kids? What did we do to them? Do you see any behavior in your children? No. No, me neither you know why? Because they listen to the no agenda show and actually don't. And with that I'd like to thank you for your courage say in the morning to the man who put the sea in the attack of us the one and only Mr John C DeVore! Good morning to you Mr Adam Curry good morning all ships and seaboots on the ground feeding their subs in the water and all the dames and knights out there. And in the morning to all the trolls in the troll room hello let me hear it trolls what are ya doing?

CHAPTER 30 / 47 Discussion

Value for Value Model and Podcast Monetization

The hosts discuss the "Value for Value" model, noting its adoption by artists at a recent Bitcoin conference. The model encourages listeners to return value—via time, talent, or treasure—based on the value they receive from the content. This approach is presented as a superior alternative to traditional advertising for independent media.

1:50:34 I'm waiting for Cotton Gin to come in. We have 2,076 but we're late with the donation segment today so I don't have subs in the tunnel. I don't have a peak count But there's enough trolls! They're all hanging out there in the troll room It was low number... We were one hour and fifty minutes into the show We need more on Thursday! So I'm sure it was more like 2300. You can say that! I am saying that because... It may be building, it may be higher Well let me see..I thought I had a link to that. I thought I had a link to the somewhere there was a link to the there's a chart could see cotton gin. Cotton gins down where's cotton gin?

1:51:18 Anyway, the trolls can be found at trollroom.io Even he's not listening It's so bad Cotton Gin is not even listening Trollroom.io is where you can log in and listen to the live stream There's plenty of stuff going on 24 hours a day or use a modern podcast app which you can find at podcastapps.com It'll alert you when we go live Which is really the modern way of broadcasting and if you can't catch it live like cotton gin then that oh wait Here's the cotton here. It is he troll count hold on I got it here The peak was

1:51:56 $21.90, so it is a bit low but yeah $21.90 Is that bad? That's terrible! I don't know about terrible Also, with these modern podcast apps you get chapters and transcripts and all kinds of fun things. If you're listening to us right now look for the little dollar sign or a little stack of bills. You click on that it takes you right to knowagendadonations.com which is like removing a whole bunch of steps. You don't have to think about where do I go to PayPal? What do i do no just click on that button it's easy

1:52:36 And that means we operate under Value for Value, which is without doubt the best way to operate a podcast. There's so many people struggling trying to figure out how to monetize their show and grow it. Well, forget about it Forget about it I mean this is the era of media being small you just get your group You get your people those people support you And if you're any good then you'll continue If not you won't It's survival of the fittest out here Narrowcasting Oh! I don't like narrow casting

1:53:14 That's what it is. No, that's... hello 1985! I'm not saying it's a new term. No, it's not narrowcasting. It's microservices media. It's different. You don't like that one either do you? Well, actually I'm thinking about it maybe there's some element in there that IS microservices. We're all using little microservices and we're media So the idea behind value for value was funny. I sent out a link there were whole bunch of artists, I think it was the Bitcoin conference they want to panel they're all talking about value for value and they're talking they're doing it perfectly

1:53:55 Mean to the T. They're explaining exactly what it is Like you just put your stuff out there if people listen to it If they like it and they value it, they send you back value that even using time talent and treasure This was for musical artists or talking about people Helping them with their merch or helping them with their concerts or booking venues rich merch emerge Like we have no agenda shop calm And I was really proud, like look at this people are using the term that we've been using for well more than 15 years as we come up on our 17th anniversary.

No Agenda Producer Contributions and Art Generator

The show highlights the contributions of its volunteer producers who provide clips, research, and artwork. The "No Agenda Art Generator" serves as a hub for listener-submitted album art, which is then used as chapter art in modern podcast apps. Specific mention is made of long-time artists like Martin JJ and Data.

no agenda art generator· producers· clips· chapter art· mofax

1:54:31 And people are like, these kids are not even giving you credit! This is how you're missing the point. They aren't this is true but so what? It's okay... When we get into this point of in media and general everything gets stolen that's the way it works But its okay I want all the clips replayed We're not getting necessary I have to sometimes even ask where some of these clips come from Yeah, it's true Yes. So a great example of value for value is all the work that our producers do it, they send us ideas, they send us links some of his send this ready to make clips although those usually aren't that usable except for the Jones brothers Of course Jones Brothers They do a great job No it takes skill to do clips It does

1:55:23 And to label them properly. Well, there's a skill I don't have... Well, I'm used to your labeling so it's okay but keeping it within time limits you know if you count it up like today we have in our bin 112 clips now we won't play them all But, you know we put on this show, this performance and we weave in and out. And then it's like hey you've got something I got something We just make it look easy but its a lot of clips! So some that comes from our producers What also comes from our producers is our continuously changing and entertaining album art which they upload to noagendaartgenerator.com another website we didn't build because if we did we'd be poor

1:56:15 There's just no way you can't, there is no way you can have producers on payroll. No instead we credit people, we help them, we've helped them launch their own podcast We do whatever we can! We send more value back to them in many ways And in this case, we have producers who most of them are Dutch masters such as Data. We have an or data I should say data who hasn't come in a while but Data's been out there. Oh yeah he's hard working on and off for years yes and oh by the way Martin JJ is alive! We did a wellness check? Yeah Did I tell you about that? I thought you wanted to know

1:56:54 I thought he knew he was alive. What did you find out? Well, we did a wellness check... I guess I made the assumption it wasn't like... No, we did a wellness check. He checked in on the Mastodon. He's alive but he had a job change so he can no longer listen live and do art So his life changed But actually says he likes it because now he can just listen to the show and enjoy it instead of working Oh instead of fretting about the art Exactly! Well, he was still wanted when he was on a role which was years ago. He was winning every week I think he had the longest streak of Accepted art oh yeah any artist? Yeah that one time in fact he started gloating it went to the point where says I'm gonna stop because I'm taking Too much space Good I gotta step back let some other young people do some work here and

1:57:47 So Data brought us this delightfully cute little kitty sitting inside a can of cat food, only called feline delight. Which do you think that was it looks like? That must be AI I mean it's so good at the well yeah also has a flaw what is that well the the flaw is the tab on the lid is on the wrong side Good catch. Yes, yes you're right Interesting but that's the only but the rest of it just such a cute cat head Yeah was sticking out of these can it was like tomato soup Canada big tomato can It just was too much and to not choose there wasn't there was a lot of interesting pieces that people came in with

1:58:43 There was a lot of cat and dog stuff being eaten or being prepared to eat. Let me see, we had of course lots of Camelot and Trump stuff which although it does happen we are unlikely to use A lot of round stuff from ComiXer bloggers prompt work I kind of liked Tonton Neal's Springfield Paw Patrol but the kitty just... It was hard to beat that cute kitten I mean, you put a cute kitty in the can. We're kind of good to go. Yeah it's pretty tough. That's a tough one to beat Anything else that you wanted talk about? Not really...I used the Camela buttons for the newsletter. The childless cat-less ladies and a dog in every pot for Camela. Appropriate use for the newsletter. But I could have used Springfield was a good one from Comets Trip Blogger. That was good. Yeah exactly

1:59:43 So, NoahJenderArtGenerator.com that's where you can participate You could now first of all you can just take a look at it if your listening live you can scroll you can just refresh that page and see as it comes in Or you can or you can participate by uploading your own start an account there and as usual Dreb Scott the Bruce Wayne of podcasting 2.0 he is always using many of these pieces for our Chapter art, and if you're using a modern podcast that will be will change topics boom the art will change You get another chuckle it's beautiful That's the time in the talent portion then we have the treasure portion which is

North Korean Abductions of Japanese Nationals

NHK reports on the ongoing struggle of families whose loved ones were abducted by North Korea in the 1970s and 80s. Megumi Yokota, who was taken at age 13 in 1977, remains one of the most prominent cases. While North Korea admitted to some abductions in 2002, many victims remain unaccounted for, leading to continued pleas for government action.

2:16:05 Remember, we also have those meetups. We've got the end of show mixes. We have your tip of the day and some more media deconstruction again Thank you for supporting us noagendadonations.com. Come point someone in the mouth spread the word and donate Thank you again to our executive and associate executive producers Our formula is this...we go out or hit people in the mouth I got another screwball story from North Korea, or from NHK. Another thing i've never heard of...

2:16:57 This is the North Korean abductions. Have you heard of this? Tell me you've heard it I have not heard of the North Korean abductions, but i'm ready to listen The 88 year old mother of a Japanese woman abducted decades ago by North Korea has again called on the government To take immediate action Yokota Saki told NHK time is running out to recover her daughter It's been nearly 22 years since North Korea admitted to abducting Japanese nationals at a summit with Japan. 13-year old Megumi Yokota was abducted in 1977 while on her way home from school in Niigata City, on the Sea of Japan coast. Sakiya spoke to NHK about Megumi's struggle since that day. How patient she must be to keep calling for help for 47 years

2:17:50 That really makes me feel so frustrated. Megumi is just one of 17 citizens the Japanese government says were abducted by North Korea in the 1970s and 80's Five have since returned but the others are still unaccounted for What do they... Is a girl on her way home from school gets abducted? By the North Koreans, and then they drag over there make her live their new work I don't know This is a screwball story. Well, it's a screwball station. NHK? I don't think so. It's a screwball station. I must have received...I don't know if you got in it but I must have received five different emails from people around the United States to complain about with the complaints very similar to Aurora and Springfield and I think it's worth just mentioning because it's all the same

CHAPTER 36 / 47 Discussion

Refugee Resettlement NGOs and Cheap Labor Migration

An investigation into refugee resettlement programs in cities like Utica, New York, and Springfield, Ohio, suggests they are driven by NGOs seeking to provide cheap labor for corporations. The segment highlights high executive salaries at these non-profits and claims that the importation of workers suppresses local wages. A similar labor migration deal between Germany and Kenya is also noted.

springfield· utica· haiti· kenya· germany· ngos

2:18:51 They all have the same complaints and this plays right back into the wage suppression. And I think, I can pretty well summarize what's going on and how it works. One of our producers is in Utica New York. He says in the 90s, the city brought in around 5,000 Bosnian refugees as a result of our Kosovo war And he says, what happens is a local immigration non-profit pops up lobbies the local government to pass legislation to welcome the newcomers done under the guise of rebuilding a failing city.

2:19:29 In Utica's case, the economy collapsed when Bill Clinton closed a local military base and signed NAFTA. This decimated the region's manufacturing sector which is only 10% so I think you mean more destruct- destroyed The city was desperate for a rebound the nonprofits promised an avenue to revitalize these communities with the importation of cheap labor And he shows me the refugee resettlement services for Utica refugees. And if you look around, there's one of these in almost every single community where there is an overflow of immigrants and if you look at Springfield the organization there is called The National Youth Advocate Program

2:20:20 They receive $160 million a year to settle the immigrants, that would be the Haitians. Marvina Twigg, the executive director or president and CEO her annual salary is 1.169 million dollars Do you see what's happening here? This is, we've been on this refugee resettlement thing. There's a huge one in Austin also with million dollar C-suite pay packages many of them are faith based which is even more excruciating to look at disturbing as the right word so this again is the college of corporations you know it's like okay

2:21:05 We've got some refugee, we got a refugee situation in Haiti with some people over there. Hey we'll give them temporary protected status and uh... we'll set up this NGO over here will give them some money from the National Endowment for Democracy that's USAID Give them the money they go to the corporation say hey everyone is drugged out in Ohio on opioids you want some cheap workers? Yeah great! But what happens is they give these newcomers, as we like to call them. They give them housing... How do they do that? Hey apartment building guy! Hey listen you got cheap rent over there We'll give you a 30% more if you kick everybody out and put some Haitians in there Okay no problem You're out

2:21:51 Hey, a dole or hey machine manufacturing car plant manufacturer. We got some cheap labor Okay good But then they also they give the newcomers housing money They give them debit cards with with money for groceries and they get their $19 an hour So there's no way to local citizenry can't compete And then what just to poke everyone's eyes out is All these, the Haitians in Springfield they're driving BMWs. You know like three four five year old Beamer's and Mercedes and so they don't care about the citizens They do not care The whole system is set up And it has happened all across America All across it Email after email with the same story I don't know how you stop it but

2:22:45 This is the gambit. And Germany just signed a deal to welcome Kenyans, 250 thousand Kenyans because the Germans apparently are no good anymore! Did you hear this? No but I'm not happy about it Berlin has agreed to allow skilled and semi-skilled Kenyan workers into Germany in a controlled and targeted labor migration deal This is your New World Order. This is the whole plan Yeah, and it's just cheap labor is at the base of it. Cheap labor? But it's not cheap!

2:23:24 No, not for the taxpayer. We're paying no it's not cheap we're paid we are paying the taxpayers are paying for this Yes So is being subsidized by the US? Taxpayer who is being kicked out of the apartments that you have before mentioned apartments You talked about yeah, this is ridiculous This is worse than oh, you know this Indian guy came in I had to teach him my job so I could get fired This is worse than that as much worse than that Oh man That has to stop. What's really, to me is somewhat ironic because I was thinking about this is that when California we had a system for farm labor which has still been an issue it's always an issue in California you can't get enough people who work in the farmlands and so they had a program called the Bracero Program because right now Mexican nationals will sneak over and they'll do farm work

CHAPTER 37 / 47 Discussion

Alabama Prison Labor and Modern Slavery Concerns

The Alabama Department of Corrections is criticized for farming out incarcerated individuals to work for private companies like McDonald's and Burger King for minimal pay. Critics describe the system as "modern slavery," noting that inmates safe enough to work in public are still denied parole. The discussion references Kamala Harris's past record regarding prison labor in California.

2:22:45 This is the gambit. And Germany just signed a deal to welcome Kenyans, 250 thousand Kenyans because the Germans apparently are no good anymore! Did you hear this? No but I'm not happy about it Berlin has agreed to allow skilled and semi-skilled Kenyan workers into Germany in a controlled and targeted labor migration deal This is your New World Order. This is the whole plan Yeah, and it's just cheap labor is at the base of it. Cheap labor? But it's not cheap!

2:23:24 No, not for the taxpayer. We're paying no it's not cheap we're paid we are paying the taxpayers are paying for this Yes So is being subsidized by the US? Taxpayer who is being kicked out of the apartments that you have before mentioned apartments You talked about yeah, this is ridiculous This is worse than oh, you know this Indian guy came in I had to teach him my job so I could get fired This is worse than that as much worse than that Oh man That has to stop. What's really, to me is somewhat ironic because I was thinking about this is that when California we had a system for farm labor which has still been an issue it's always an issue in California you can't get enough people who work in the farmlands and so they had a program called the Bracero Program because right now Mexican nationals will sneak over and they'll do farm work

2:24:19 send the money back to Mexico, sorry. And the Bracero program would brought the Mexicans up in buses to do farm labor they got paid the same amount and then they shipped them back on the same buses when they were done and when the harvest was over and they just took the money with him Which is okay, but that was not good enough. So we had to end that program because it was cruel or something but now we're doing this instead? Yep and and to make matters worse have you seen what they're doing with inmates in Alabama

2:24:59 So what is Kamala Harris's by the way? Nobody don't know no wonder nobody's in a troll room. We're depressing them No, I think we're confirming their fears and where we're helping them understand what what's going on in their world this It's not meant to be depressing after the show you turn it off and go smoke a doob everything good to go Everybody's having the Alabama prisoners. So we have for many, many generations in America we've always enjoyed using our inmates for cheap labor you know making IKEA furniture license plates is kind of the old joke but they still actually make license plates in jail and I think most the inmates make between nine and thirteen cents an hour depending on what job you're in so Alabama

2:25:51 It has a new twist on this. Well, a lot of people are calling it modern slavery does that feel right? I was just about to say that's slavery. That ain't slavery you took away the whips but you put the paperwork. Took away the masters and then you gave them in uniform same difference same difference. It kind of appears that there is a coordinated system in order to protect the laborers created by the prison system Walk into a McDonald's in Alabama, and the worker flipping your McDouble could be an incarcerated person. It is a sad situation where they getting rich off of us The Alabama Department of Corrections farms out incarcerated people to work at hundreds of private companies and government agencies across the state. McDonalds, Burger King, Golden Corral Wendy's—they got a Wendy's contract right now State Trooper's Office

2:26:50 They'll send everybody everywhere. They'll send you everywhere, yes! The parole office... And even though ADOC trusts these incarcerated people to leave prison every day and work alongside the general public many of them are still denied the chance at real freedom So you're incarcerated You're in jail but we're gonna let you out to go flip burgers at McDonald's at probably pennies on the dollar in terms of pay. Yes, how does this make sense? And we're always bitching and moaning about the Chinese! Right?! Exactly! We're worse than the Chinese. We've commercialized it That's slavery that is real slavery right there If you if you're safe enough to go out into society which is the whole part of incarceration then you shouldn't be incarcerated

2:27:48 How is she gonna get the cheap labor? It's a win-win. We need... we need a new sheriff in town! Oh, I know let's bring in Sheriff Harris She'll fix it all for us My goodness Well she actually kept there was a I mean the Tulsi Gabbard slam against her which is probably we have a clip of it She mentioned that she wouldn't some guys were supposed to get out of jail and she kept them in there for the labor So they could do slave labor with him. Yeah, yeah once a slave owner always a slave owner We're just reporting it people Don't hate the players hate the game So we can talk about little bit about about climate week

CHAPTER 38 / 47 Discussion

Climate Solutions Week and Plant-Based Diet Promotion

NPR and the World Health Organization promoted "Climate Solutions Week," focusing on food systems as a major driver of greenhouse gas emissions. WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus advocated for a shift toward plant-based diets to fight climate change. Another segment suggests that eating 100% whole wheat bread can reduce the climate impact of agriculture.

climate week· npr· who· tedros· whole wheat· plant-based

2:28:43 Oh, how did I miss climate week? I don't know. I was wondering myself home man This is an important week another scam of epic proportions It's a beauty I have two these are both promotional that were on NPR Okay start with the new show called reveal this is the club. There's a teaser for this show I don't have the showcase coming up is the teaser by that and Climate climate teaser. Okay, we want to be the next vanguard the next black rock for the climate conscious consumer Because we don't believe that those companies will do what we need them to do To get us out of this climate crisis that were currently in On reveal who I like that the climate conscious consumer

2:29:35 It's the triple C. Nice! He is a person that only exists in few areas of the world Yes, California mainly Then we have the climate week promotion from NPR There are a lot of ways for humans to both slow the pace of climate change and adapt to our new reality NPR is spending a week exploring areas where we can improve Addressing food waste turns out to be one of the biggest climate solutions...of them all Join us for a look at the future of food with NPR's annual Climate Solutions Week. Explore with us at npr dot org slash climate week Oh, now I understand why Tedros came out World Health Organization Yeah? Yeah yeah he made his statement for climate week Our food systems are harming the health of people and planet

2:30:22 Food systems contribute to over 30% of greenhouse gas emissions and account for almost one third of the global burden of disease. Transforming food systems is therefore essential by shifting towards healthier, diversified and more plant-based diets. If food systems delivered healthy diets for all We could save 8 million lives per year. WHO is committed to supporting countries... I don't know what? What?! How are we saving lives or creating them if food systems delivered healthy diets for all, we could save eight million lives per year

2:31:10 WHO is committed to supporting countries to develop and implement policies, to improve diets and fight climate change. I'm therefore very pleased that over 130 countries have signed the COP28 UAE Declaration on Climate and Health Together, we can protect and promote the health of both people and planet. I don't have the clip anymore because i just never got to use it which is the guy who comes out and says farming is responsible for all climate change we must stop all farming. Yet they have a mixed message going on here, they can seem to get together. Here it is. Farming needs to stop that's the single biggest driver of climate change Oh so farming is the problem but we need to eat plants? Yeah So I don't know where they're getting this

2:32:14 So my last climate clip is the one where they bread eat bread did Fredo do solve the problem What if you could help address? Climate change by eating more whole wheat bread. It's not the biggest solution, but it might be the tastiest No, not brown bread mom. Here's Alejandro Berundi explain Oh, Sammy. You're saving the earth! It's warm and fragrant at the Washington State University Bread Lab where a group of scientists and professional bakers have gathered to taste slices of soft mahogany brown 100% whole wheat loaf just out of the oven. That is amazing. That's Stephen Jones he's a wheat breeder in Baker and until he retired recently he led the bread lab

2:32:54 He wants to help Americans learn to love whole wheat. Because when we get turned into white flour, Jones says the rest of the kernel is discarded. We could increase The amount of food that we get per wheat acre by 30% if we just eat the whole wheat Turning more food grown into food eaten cuts the climate impact You know, I just want everyone to know that we can't vote our way out of this situation. Daddy Trump is not going to fix all of our problems We need to kill the elites! We need to stop this nonsense and eat them yes! We need to eat them! We need to take a stand and say no No! No to your climate change nonsense

CHAPTER 39 / 47 Discussion

Tectonic Plate Theory and California's Geological History

A geological theory suggests that the Rocky Mountains were formed when a landmass—modern-day California—rammed into the North American plate as it moved west. The hosts discuss the unique and "toxic" nature of California's land, including its susceptibility to fires and earthquakes. The segment also touches on the quality of Napa Valley wine compared to French varieties.

rocky mountains· tectonic plates· california· napa valley· geology

2:33:42 Oh. You're in the minority, that's the problem No we're not in the minority it's all... It's just media I believe so No Well because I'm in California so you're in the minority yes Yes and while were at it chop off California Now that earthquake was a good start Yeah it's gonna take awhile Well there is going to be big one that will break off and float away And we are not going throw you a life raft I think its going into the other direction What? California is pushing in for more. I hope not, you know that there's if you want to add and if I had a presentation for this before but there was a lot of thinking about how did the Rockies form because they know how impact when you have the tectonic plate shifts it creates mountain ranges and they're all accounted for

2:34:35 But except the Rocky Mountains can't be perfectly explained unless you make the assumption, these guys spend their time on this stuff. That when the giant one gob of earth mass started moving away from and split off of Europe and Africa and started moving toward the west that it impacted something that may have been in the middle of that giant Pacific Ocean, another landmass has never been accounted for which turns out to be California and it rammed into it with big solid chunk. And that's what pushed up the Rockies because there is nothing else could possibly done it except God.

2:35:25 That's my story. Yeah, well I'm assuming that the nature is set up to do certain things and uplift is one of them and so that means that California...and I am convinced of this...California in much of the West where we are is not part of the big group that moved over. It was always here and it's always been a different situation, that's why the land here is somewhat toxic. Yes! Exactly! It has always been a hell-scape and the land is toxic It's always been a hellscape traditionally. It's always on fire there's a lot of earthquakes yes, and it's toxic you can't do the agriculture That's why the wine in Napa Valley isn't as good as you get from France is just filled with vinegar It's got all kinds of problems. The whole place I'm we agree 100% Yeah California is toxic

2:36:19 It's always on fire, it's always shaking. But it has always been that way? Yes! Whatever happened to breaking off as your own state over there I always thought that was a good idea Yeah you'd think that but your Texas...your Texas always wants to do that so why don't you do it there first Sure You mean as your own country not only state Good luck charging your EV on wind power We're not going to export any oil and gas to ya We have plenty of oil and gas here that they refuse to exploit. Exactly! And now it turns out, since my son-in-law married to Jay works at Chevron one the biggest oil refineries in the West Coast... Oh you're a fossil fuel family? Yeah They're thinking of shutting down their refinery completely and moving the whole thing to Houston

CHAPTER 40 / 47 Discussion

California Gasoline Prices and Refinery Blends

Gasoline prices in California remain significantly higher than the national average due to unique state-mandated "low smog" fuel blends. Governor Gavin Newsom has called for legislation requiring refineries to maintain higher supplies to prevent price spikes. The discussion notes that Chevron is considering moving its refinery operations to Houston, which could further impact California's fuel supply.

california· gas prices· gavin newsom· chevron· refineries· smog

2:37:15 Exactly. In the Republic of Texas? And then we have situations... Like, I think there's a clip here on California gasoline prices. Yeah yeah yes you do play it. Gas prices are up nearly $2 more per gallon across Northern California when compared to the rest of the country. California's oil market watchdog Ty Milder attributes this to refineries going offline for maintenance without enough backup supply gas prices in California are going up

2:37:53 at the same time that national gas prices are going down. Governor Gavin Newsom has called a special legislative session to require companies to keep more supplies on hand. Industry groups have said that could increase costs by forcing refiners to keep fuel in storage and off the market I think it's great we cut off California you keep your social media companies, keep Silicon Valley We can use Android! We don't need iPhones Just keep all of that. Android comes out of California too, Google Yeah but we don't need to buy Google it's... We have open source android and we're just gonna use open source over here y'all I have to mention something about the California this is a looming problem and the Democrats are too stupid to figure it out they've changed.. The problem with California gasoline is that some years ago somebody pointed this out to me when I was bitching about the taxes on the gasoline

2:38:51 And Chevron is one of the companies that makes gasoline for California. And I say, for California because the gasoline blend for California is different than the entire rest of the country. It's a low smog version has got some stuff in it. I don't know exactly what to make up is but there are some... Does it work? It's gasoline, it works fine. You know people don't realize that gasoline is a blend of just as a witch's brew of explosive chemicals that are all mixed up with all kinds

2:39:27 volatiles in there like butane and there's all kinds of weird stuff in gasoline. But it's not the same from tank to tank, you're always running different stuff through. But California has to have some elements or something or other in their gas supposedly to lower pollution and nobody else makes this gas except a couple of refineries. And so if Chevron moves to Houston we won't have enough gasoline to do anything that's why I think they're trying move everyone to electric cars here in California faster than anybody else. But then we haven't got, it's a mess! It's ridiculous mismanaged corrupt state. And it's toxic. And it is toxic too. You have to deal with that now I have one other clip from California since were on the topic yeah now they want to do AI legislation

CHAPTER 41 / 47 Discussion

California AI Legislation and Kill Switch Requirements

California is considering the strictest AI regulations in the country, which would require companies to conduct safety tests and implement a "kill switch" for rogue systems. The bill has divided the tech industry, with Elon Musk and Anthropic supporting it, while OpenAI and various venture capitalists oppose it. Governor Newsom has until September 30th to sign or veto the measure.

gavin newsom· artificial intelligence· elon musk· openai· kill switch· regulation

2:40:23 First in the country. Yes, okay I don't know what this legislation is gonna do but this is going to be a huge problem for Newsom because he doesn't know what to do about this and this clip is AI Kali. California Governor Gavin Newsom is considering whether to sign or veto an artificial intelligence bill and Pierce Bobby Allen reports the measure if passed would be the strictest AI regulations in the country The AI bill has fiercely divided the tech industry. Supporting it, AI researchers who warn about the societal risks of technology. It also has won support from AI startup Anthropic and Elon Musk. But opposing the bill are chat GPT maker OpenAI, high profile venture capitalists and AI startup founders. They say their regulations would slow innovation and allow other countries to leapfrog the US in AI development

2:41:09 Criticism of the bill did lead to a softer version being passed, but it still requires AI companies to conduct safety tests and requires firms to be able to enable a kill switch if AI systems go rogue. There are no federal laws regulating AI in the US. Governor Newsom has until September 30th to act on the bill. Well finally Elon Musk is done I was about to send him back to California but we'll keep him now if he's supporting bogus legislation in California So you have to have a kill switch and you have to have testing. I don't know what this testing is, how do you test algorithms like this? And who's going to enforce these laws that's the other thing so they need an enforcement department which is really expensive. This is bull crap and I think you should be...I'm surprised that your... That I am not all over it

Google NotebookLM AI Podcast Generation

Google's NotebookLM has introduced a feature that can generate a conversational podcast based on uploaded documents. The hosts play an example of an AI-generated podcast discussing binary code, noting the realistic use of "uhs" and "ums" and the mimicry of the NPR style. The segment explores the potential for AI to automate media production while critiquing its current formulaic nature.

google· notebooklm· ai podcast· binary code· npr· automation

2:42:06 Yeah, you're the AI hater of the two of us. I am! Have you seen the latest that they're doing with AI? Maybe... It's Notebook LM is what it's called? No, don't know it. So Notebook LM, I guess, is some kind of a closed loop AI system so you can put in documents that only you care about and then you can do AI stuff with it, whatever that means. You query it probably? Yeah, yeah, you could query it but now they have an extra... I'm looking for it, I thought I had a link, I think I do Now you can put in an extra thing And you can say make a podcast out of these documents which by the way if it was any good

2:43:10 I would be all for it, but it makes these... let me see. Oh man! I hope I have this here. It makes a podcast? Yes yes it makes a podcast okay so in this case uh this guy put in a 100,000 word document of like random text titled it patent.txt gave it to the notebook and listen so this thing that makes a podcast by the way you know I want to stop you here and say I really admire the fact that you are you act you are the pod but you keep track of everything that has anything to do with podcasting at

2:43:52 At the most minute level. I never heard of this somebody has to protect the medium And that's actually the way you see it yes, yes we've got another head scratcher this week mm-hmm these These patent files you sent him Had me a little bit stumped. I gotta say yeah It's uh...we've got a bunch text files okay all named patent but But with these little numbers tacked on right like Patton to patent for that kind of thing interesting and I open these things up This is what the AI thinks a podcast should sound like between two people. Oh, this is the podcast we're listening Yes, you're listening to the podcast. This is an AI shit These are fake voices yes

2:44:40 So we have a guy and this is like it typical. This is like fashioned after NPR You are some guy exactly dip shit woman who's going yellow Some moron yes, okay now I'm interested basically pivot the pivot podcast please start it over Another head scratcher this week mm-hmm these these patent files you sent in Had me a little bit stumped. I gotta say yeah, it's uh We've got a bunch of text files Okay All named patent but with these little numbers tacked on right right patent to patent for that kind of thing interesting and I open these things up And it's just line after line of binary Oh Wow So ones and zeros as far as the eye can see okay? so that's our challenge today we are diving headfirst into the world of well binary code now now I think

2:45:35 What I like about this particular AI is it adds the uhs and ums to it. But for some reason, the podcast format has to be someone taking the lead on talking and the other someone going. Oh yeah! Yay right? Yeah shoot let's do it. To see if we can crack this code and figure out what in the world is going on. Absolutely So before we get too far I think it might be helpful for some of our listeners to do a little bit of a binary one-on-one She's a little too... this is, they gotta tone her down a little bit. Every phrase she says she's throwing a bit in there it's like uh oh ah mm yeah ooh There's too much of that! They got to fix that. It's fixable I'm looking forward to the day when we just throw a bunch of clips and show note stories into a bin and then

2:46:34 I stay in bed on Thursday and Sunday, and the show is just a show. Just the very basics what are we even talking about when we say binary code? Right so at its simplest binary is really just a way of representing information Now they're gonna switch roles she's talking and he's gonna do the oh yeah really oh yeah using only two options So instead of our 10 digits like we use in our everyday lives, you know 0 through 9. Binary uses just zero and one. And those two digits that's all we need to build even the most complex information. So it's kind of like a light switch? Exactly! It's either on or off. That's it. One or zero. I want to kill myself now!!

2:47:17 Okay, stop. Clip of the day. Well thank you I wasn't even intended to put it on the list today but i'll take it. Unbelievable! But I like the kibitzing... The constant never-ending Not like we do, I interrupt each other in a different way to stop things. But this is always encouraging. All right! Oh yes? Okay. Good, I like it. Interesting. Yeah, very good. Keep going. This is why I have no fear of AI at all. I'm gonna show my support by donating to KnowAgenda Imagine all the people who could do that. Oh yeah that'd be fab

John's Tip of the Day: Chinese Green Tea

John Dvorak provides a "Tip of the Day" recommending a specific Chinese green tea available on Amazon called Tianhu Shan (Yinhao). He describes it as a high-quality, affordable alternative to everyday teas and explains the Chinese practice of the "second pouring." The segment also includes a brief technical discussion about the risks of running a private mailing list server.

amazon· green tea· tianhu shan· yinhao· pg tips· mailing list

3:05:51 How many how many ISOs do you have? None. You got none! Yeah, well what are you phoning it in today I forgot Can't forget I did huh all right Uh, well I have... luckily i'm over-iso'd. Yeah but there was a sense that I could feel it! I could feel it Luke! You can feel it? Okay Luke here we go! Ghetto B word! There's one. No This is exciting! I like that. I do believe its possible. No. I want to thank you for your courage And the final one Preposterous and weird

3:06:46 Hmm? No. Now you like the Hill Dog! This is exciting! Yeah... Alright, Hill Dog on deck and now ladies and gentlemen it's time for your favorite part of the show John's Tip of The Day! Created fast for you and me Just a tip with JCD Wooo! And sometimes Adam Hey, everyone's excited to find out what the last tip of the day was great. We have increased Costco stock by several points. Costco is loving us! What do you have for us John? Well this time it's gonna be Amazon

3:07:24 You know how we used to drink tea when you lived in England, but you don't do it anymore. No I'm back to coffee. I still a fan of PG Tips which is the English everyday drinking tea Yeah But i drink alot of green tea but green tea depending on where you get is really expensive And I have found a kind of PG tips of green tea besides things like gunpowder. This is just very specific green tea, you get a pound of it for 13 bucks and the It's like you use, for a big pot you use like don't... You have to be careful. Use kind of a level teaspoon maybe because this stuff just blows up into all the full leaves

3:08:10 And it's a tea that sells for 13 bucks for 16 ounces. It's called Tianhu Shan, T-I-A-N-H-U S-H-A-N. It is also called Yinhao, Y-I-N-H-A-W right from China It is, I just drink this stuff like crazy. It is an outstanding just a drink-drink-drink product and you also double pour into it and the second pouring which is the Chinese do all the time Americans don't do it in other words you make your tea then you pour off to finish green tea

3:08:46 You pour another batch of water into the used leaves. And in China, they think this is the better part of the batches. The second pouring is better and in this case I don't even see the difference it's almost like at the same just doubled amount It's I don't know how long it's going to take to get through the 16 ounces. Is this a may take years? A small batch, this producer? Small batch? It's all in Chinese. I have no idea if it's small batch. You need to do a web page with these tips of the day so people can... I think we're gonna have to do that. Yeah but get Jay on the case she's good at that

3:09:22 Well, actually we may have some volunteers out there. I was asking for some volunteers for a couple of things and maybe there's somebody out there that can do some coding or somebody... Producers? Somebody can just make a list of the tips that we've done with some summaries. That would be good. What I would also... I need someone to go do a PHP server for me so I can do my own mailing product, own mailing lists. Oh this is a very bad idea What? That is a very bad idea to do your own mailing list server. Very, very bad idea! There's a good product out there that has everything but the server... The product is not the problem it's the whitelisting these companies that you use and I would actually say Substack is probably better these days they have been whitelisted

3:10:09 with all of the big email providers, mainly Gmail and they have to pay a VIG. We've been through this! I understand that yes So if you just show up as noagenda at Dvorak dot org You're going to get blocked everywhere because you're not paying the fee so I recommend against this Okay, well I'd still like to experiment a little bit. Oh, it's... oh, rough times ahead! Tears will come. That's it ladies and gentlemen! Are you looking for good advice? Perhaps something practical or something you really need Try the new agenda tip of the day. Professional quality tips from the best podcast in the universe! There it is, no lie. Professional quality tips from the best podcast in the universe you heard it here I wish we had a... our tea supplier in Portugal he passed away unfortunately I'd love to have that. Yeah, yeah, thats too bad He was really into fermented teas and didn't have much green tea

3:11:13 Well, he had no agenda tees which was just kind of cool. Just love that idea. We've got our coffee guy Eli. We just need a tea guy. Maybe Eli can expand? and the podcasting 2.0 board meeting for this week titled Helpful Little Wizard so you can stay tuned for that, learn about the latest in podcasting coming to you from the heart of Texas Hill Country home with a meet up on October 18th Fredericksburg Texas FEMA region number 6 in the morning everybody

3:11:59 I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley where it's foggy, I'm John C. Dvorak We return on Thursday with another deconstruction of your media meet us there and remember us at knowagenthedonations.com until then adios mofos a hooey hooey and such they're eating the dogs We know that the companies, and we've seen some of the comments from Elon Musk overnight. They see themselves above the law and this Australian law here should apply equally in the real world as it does online as Phil was pointing out before you would be sued for defamation And you would be taken before the courts on various acts For publishing some of that which freely flows on the internet and there's a verification

3:12:42 which has been recommended by the E-Safety Commissioner from 2023. We think that's something Well from now on we're going to have to police our thoughts and our speech very carefully on social media. Here's why, any post made on social media now is deemed by this bill to be a public act and any public act found offensive by a reasonable person of the minority community that it describes is then chargeable under section 52a of the criminal code And these charges carry a maximum sentence for three years in jail time

3:13:20 These are truly unprecedented times. 25 years in the parliament, I've never seen legislation like it This is not the country i grew up in and its heading into a direction that I fear for future generations Kamala Deville, Kamala Deville If her cackle don't scare you Her policies will Your unborn child she would gladly kill Kamala is horrible still This is rarely brought up and it's true. And these people are demonic in that way, this chick I'm saying chick called a DC District of Columbia clinic and she recorded it. I am looking to have an abortion How far along are you? I'm 34 right now That's 8 months An abortion at any stage is actually much safer than delivering after pregnancy

3:14:13 We do what we call the fetal injection. Will assist you in sort of pushing in the induction and then remove all the products of conception The product of conception, it is true! Of course its true But people need to hear that, thats sickening but this is how demonic these people are What they have done to our country by allowing these millions and millions of people People People can't go out and buy cereal or bacon or eggs, or anything else. The people of our country are absolutely dying! They're eating the dogs...the people that came in they're eating the cats My dog's been taken! My dogs been stolen! They've destroyed the economy.

3:15:13 In Springfield, they're eating the pets of the people that live there. Millions and millions of people... It's bad you know? The best podcast in the universe! MoFo. Dvorak dot org slash N A This is exciting
