On The Fritz

00:00 It's on the fritz. It's on the fritz, man! Jiggle the handles! That's better than glitch! Adam Curry John C. DeVorah This is your award-winning Cuban Asian Media Assassination Episode 1718! This is no agenda. Defend, depose, deny and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country right here in FEMA Region Number 6 In the morning everybody I'm Adam Curry and from northern Silicon Valley where they're shooting the CEOs in New York. I'm John C Dvorak Man, I gotta tell you it's New York is is bonkers It bunkers so you know what everyone in New York is posting online No this guy's a hero. Oh okay

00:51 Yeah, that's it. You know when this happened one of the first things I thought of was a thing I used to say back in the late 90s about some of these big shots should be careful because they could find their heads on a stick if the public ever revolted and shoot this guy And here we are! I'm thinking well... This will be interesting to see how this goes. They're literally like hey and he even went to Starbucks That guy is awesome It's like the new Batman. He took down the elite! Well, they have pictures of his face now... Mm-hmm he looks and oh by the way he's dreamy I'm just telling you what they're saying man this is this is what the kids are saying well it's got a nice I see there's one picture has got a nice smile yeah but that's what you want that's this is the perfect supervillain even though he's a hero it is bizarre but in some ways maybe not unexpected

01:52 I mean, the first. Well did you hear about this? Yeah those are the inscriptions on some of the bullets they found yeah here i got a short clip police are calling united healthcare ceo brian thompson's death brazen and targeted saying the killer shot Thompson in the back and the leg before fleeing on a bike and disappearing into Central Park Thompson's wife now says her husband had been receiving threats before this happened. News Nations Alex Capriello is live in New York City for us this morning following the latest, Alex police may have a clue based on the shell casings left at the scene what more do we know about that?

02:28 Yeah, when you take a look at that video you can see the suspect in this case firing that weapon multiple times. And when that happens cartridges are automatically ejected from that weapon itself and on those actual casings according to New York Police Department sources they had words that were actually etched into them specifically defend depose and deny. Those are clues potentially onto a possible motive that this shooter might have had, but at this point New York police are not saying exactly what that motive is they're still trying to work that out using these as an indication as well as the other evidence that was left behind specifically a cell phone in which these police officers have obtained a search warrant go through into try to piece together exactly why this 50 year old CEO was targeted

03:18 This is a very... all of the sudden, I mean first I heard this yesterday and like oh that sucks. This is no good Then it took these amazing turns of events The etchings on the bullet casings which I mean That's obviously a message We have a cell phone that has left The guy jumps on a complete trackable city bike He's hanging out at Starbucks smiling He's wearing a very obvious gray backpack. He has some kind of weapon that, at least he seemed semi-capable? I mean there are just a lot of things going on here and immediately I'm like okay shooter or whatever while everyone is getting all gaga eyes over the dreaminess of this guy

04:10 What is the motive? And I found one clip that gives us, I think four possible motives for for this hit. Well David, ABC News heard from Brian Thompson's wife a short while ago in a statement Paulette Thompson wrote we are shattered to hear about the senseless killing of our beloved Brian. Brian was an incredibly loving generous talented man who truly lived life to the fullest and touched so many lives most importantly Brian was an incredibly loving father to our two sons and will be greatly missed From our folks in Minnesota, producers on the ground. The word up there is crimpassionel Especially the statement where she doesn't say he was a great husband Huh? Sketchy you never know well that could be reporting too You don't know she didn't say that Well they had of course it could but they had the words on the screen John so it must be true But then there's more

05:11 The company's headquarters are based in Minnesota and right now flags are flying at half-staff outside the building in honor of Thompson. In fact, Tim Walz the governor of Minnesota and former vice presidential candidate addressed Thompson's killing on X writing this is horrifying news and a terrible loss for the business and health care community in Minnesota Minnesota is sending our prayers to Brian's family and the UnitedHealthcare team. And this is where my head went to, okay so this guy's a CEO and it's coming up in a minute. There was all kinds of DOJ investigations and also Medicaid related issues you know Medicaid has been overbilled by like nine billion dollars a year. Hell yeah of course but these guys their revenue is 450 billion dollars a year so a little bit that sticks

06:07 you know, that sticks to someone else's pocket could be a lot bigger than most other companies. And according to reports as I have here from the AP and number of Medicaid related programs have suffered from fraud and waste under Walz So just interesting that in this report we get that coming out and then we continue. As for Thompson's career with the company, he became CEO of the nation's largest health insurer UnitedHealthcare back in 2021 and before that he was CEO of UnitedHealthcare government programs including Medicare and retirement but has been with the company since 2004 when he was hired as a director of corporate development

06:49 UnitedHealth Group released a statement saying in part, Brian was a highly respected colleague and friend to all who work with him. We are working closely with the New York Police Department and ask for your patience and understanding during this difficult time." Now the Department of Justice has been investigating UnitedHealthcare for antitrust issues and SEC filings show Thompson and another UnitedHealthcare executive sold millions of dollars in UnitedHealthcare shares in the months before that DOJ investigation became known to investors or to the public. Of course, there is still no word from investigators on any possible motive for today's shooting

07:33 So there's the maybe this was other board members or other people The guy was after all in charge of that division before he became CEO and they didn't want you know dead man can talk Maybe that's what's going on. No, it's always possible Do you have any thoughts? Well, I don't think this was a professional hit based on what other people have said no not professional now So it's a yeah, I mean I think is somebody that got screwed by the company. And they blamed him and they went to him and this guy who was salary I think was around 10 million plus a year plus stock. It was better than podcasting? Better in podcasting! Unless you're Joe Rogan...

08:21 and he seemed callous of a sort, and I can see somebody—and this is something that's going to happen. This is not This is nothing, I think the entire medical establishment is up for grabs when it comes to this sort of thing which they have not been serving the public. They've been serving themselves. I agree and I think that the words defend, depose, deny relates directly to how they are accused often being very difficult to settle, being very difficult to pay out and I found a interesting video pulled two short clips from The Insurance

09:02 Watchdog coalition who explain UnitedHealthcare and how it works. This is the intro to all the different pieces because it's not just insurance. You might know United Health as an insurance company, but it's actually more than that. It's a multinational conglomerate of vertical monopoly UnitedHealth is the largest for-profit domestic health insurance company. It's gobbled up doctors offices 90,000 physicians now work directly for UnitedHealth the largest employer of doctors in the country UnitedHealth owns a dominant pharmacy benefit manager. They decide which medicine you can get and how much you pay for it. UnitedHealth operates a software and data company, which helps United Insurance decide how to deny your claims On top of all this, UnitedHealth also owns pharmacies primary care clinics surgery centers urgent care centers home health agencies hospice care agencies and mental health agencies When you need healthcare

10:01 There's a chance UnitedHealth makes money every step of the way. They even own a bank, which allows them to control when where and how their doctors get paid as one report put it United Health is pushing to control every piece of patient care outside of the hospital It's not by accident. Being a sole source single payer monopoly is UnitedHealths business model That's the business model and here's how it works, how you make up to 450 billion dollars- half of almost half a trillion dollars a year in revenue. United Health set up a company to expand its business from only providing insurance

10:37 They even gave it a different name so consumers won't know it's really just UnitedHealth. It's called Optum. Optum employs pharmacy benefit managers and doctors, and they own surgery care centers and urgent care clinics. Let's start with the pharmacy benefits manager Optum Rx which is the middleman controlled by big insurance that sets drug prices Across the country, independent pharmacies are closing up shop because Optum is underpaying medication reimbursement rates. Optum doesn't just pressure pharmacies to increase their bottom line they're gouging customers with high prices on life-saving drugs here's how it works Optum will tell you their job is to negotiate drug prices with pharmaceutical companies and work with insurance companies to decide which drugs are covered

11:25 But Optum is owned by an insurance company, UnitedHealth. It's negotiating with itself that sets the price it sets the profit total control Yeah that system is no good You think? A real problem with that system. And this also puts that Optum hack from, was it maybe six months ago? Puts that into a different light you remember when all these the whole like large portion of the medical system was just frozen from some kind of cyber security attack which we really never got the full, the full lowdown on it. It never will? No and it might have been ransomware I mean this is a mess! This is a mess and I'm surprised when his wife we don't know if she said it but she said there were other threats against his life so this guy thinks its good idea if there's threat against your life as CEO of a $450 billion revenue company to go toodling out in New York City at 7am without any security

12:29 Man, Joe Rogan's smarter than that. So yeah, that well at first you know somebody was I know some of the I've looked these comments to and so he said well a guy's an idiot didn't have security. And I mean you know it not everybody has to walk around is every CEO in the world doesn't need security that's for sure but if you look at it from the perspective of a company that is probably The basis and part and parcel of the entire medical system's corruption You might want to protect that guy You might, yes you might want to have more than a couple of guys looking around. Talking to their lapels

13:12 Occam's razor, if this is someone who just pissed off about the whole situation. Well this could be the beginning of... I mean seriously if you look on X and you look on Instagram people are just like wow! This guy is good these guys it's like the hero yeah the little guy and he went out there and killed one of the elites This could be just the beginning. Yeah, if I was... You know this is the good side of being a lowly podcaster. Yeah, whew! This is something you shouldn't have to worry about. No no and- But I can see it but I would say CEO overpay especially nowadays where the CEOs are I would say generally not all of them but lot of them are overpaid to an extreme yeah And they're leveraged and they are part of a corrupt system

14:05 gougers. Yeah and it ruins people's lives! That have ruined people's lives this is good, I'm surprised this hasn't happened or isn't happening as we speak for the last five six years And your other prediction that you know soon we'll get some of these kids who are transitioned and they're gonna wake up and go what? Where'd that go?! And they're going to start getting mad too and they're gonna go after doctors and maybe CEOs. The CEO is, that's a pretty big message! And that message is clear it's clear I mean how much more clear could you make it?

14:44 With your, what is the sequence again? Deny, depose, defy. Defend, depose, deny. Defend. So you defend... Yeah, defend the cases, deny payment and then give a deposition. Depose! No, it's defend, depose, deny. So defend is like oh no- There was no order there were just three random bullets they found on the street Oh I thought that the three..no I thought it was in order on each casing No, that's not my understanding. I understand the East casing had a word on it Really? Oh that's even more crazy! And i was wondering because professional hitman doesn't leave casings Well professional Hitmen doesn't do something in public like that either except in movies Yeah and what with this suppressor? It's New York The whole thing is bizarre but yeah could be the beginning of some

15:41 citizen revolt. There's also three unspent bullets because the gun jammed and so he is dicking around I guess, three shells fell on the deck too that's what i understand at least with some reports yeah there's all kinds of opinions. So there was a 3 spent cartridges and now it's possible then that would explain if it was all three words were on all the cartridges but that doesn't make sense its just to much work Well, and then what's up with getting on a city bike? I mean that this would be the city bike assassin. He just going around killing people on city bikes. It is horrible for him it is horrible for his family but its very interesting from a podcasting perspective. So from a sociological perspective this could be a big deal Yeah could be

16:30 So that was just one of the small things that happened. Yeah, there was another one I just said what the hell was it? It was so... Well, I don't know like Joe Biden pardoned his kid What?! After saying he wouldn't oh no! This was great this would put a whole everyone just I mean first of all... First it's on a show day thank you yeah thanks guys thanks Jill A lot of people immediately say this proves that the real Joe Biden's alive. I say no, it proves nothing. It doesn't prove anything one way or the other. No

17:06 And of course it made for some super cuts. Did you get any? I have some short ones. You've got, you've got it. Yeah yeah. I don't think I have any super cuts the super cuts are always well there's two or three of them floating around and they're all pretty similar. It's okay. There's two forms one of them to all these left-wing mostly MSNBC and CNN people defending Biden because he's gonna up uphold justice and never pardon Hunter. And they make fools of themselves, you know? He's a good guy yeah so and then there's the one of Kareem Jean-Paul Pierre Abdul Jabbar let me ask you will you accept the jury's outcome their verdict no matter what it is yes and have you ruled out a pardon for your son yes is there any possibility that the president would end up pardoning his son

17:55 Well, is there a- I just said no. I just answered it. Would the president pardon or commute his son if he's convicted? So I've answered this question before it was asked of me not too long ago couple weeks ago and I was very clear and I said now And uh...I am satisfied that I'm not gonna do anything like I said I abide by the jury decision I will do that and I will not pardon him. He has said several times that the President would not pardon nor commute sentences for his son Hunter I just want to make sure that is not going to change over the next six months. The president's saying- It still a no, it will be a no and it is a no and I don't have anything else to add. Will he pardon his son? No!

18:39 Hunter is also up for being sentenced next month. Does the president have any intention of pardoning him? We've been asked that question multiple times, our answer stands which is no. It's no it's no that's KJP and then we have another shorty from I think some media people let me ask you will you accept the jury's outcome their verdict no matter what it is yes And have you ruled out a pardon for your son? Yes. Is there any possibility- Wait, is this basically the same clip? Hold on one second. I said no. It's different That I'm not gonna do anything. I said, I said I abide by the jury decision and I will do that and I will not pardon him.

19:36 Actually, most of them were either nine minutes which was no good. The nine minute one is the one I had and said... No it's too much! It was 9 minutes of mostly media people saying oh yeah Joe is a great guy because he's gonna not pardon his son and there was all MSNBC and CNN people they're all the same usual suspects to dip shits that work for those stations spew Democrat propaganda points and they're promoting, you know, they were doing anything to keep Trump from getting elected which didn't help. They got no audience. I think one of the shows the audience has fallen to 38 thousand listeners viewers Wow! We have more trolls in The Troll Room It's pretty pathetic but here's a...

20:24 I was just saying it's just like they've just kept beating it up and the real issue that, I think that they had was they were gloating at how fine the president was because nobody was above the law. There is another thing... They had two things of nobody was above the law, nobody was above the law. But now they're switching their tune and now its well as clear that the Department Justice weaponized It's weaponized against everybody. Here is CBS on the pardon. Arriving in Angola today, President Biden ignored questions about the pardon of his son

21:07 The decision came after the president and his press secretary had spent more than a year claiming a pardon without the question. I said, I abide by the jury's decision... More supercuts! ...and will do that and not pardon him We've been asked that question multiple times our answer stands which is no Notice they don't put the media in their supercuts No heaven forbid! Can't do that! And clear as the President son of all crimes he has committed or may have committed over 10 years Well, it's unprecedented. No president has ever pardoned their child before. Pardon expert Jeffrey Crouch says its scope is similar to the clemency Gerald Ford gave Richard Nixon who resigned amid the Watergate scandal It's about as broad as any pardon that I'm aware of it includes pretty much any potential federal offense in the way that includes really anything that happens within That particular time range The pardon came just today after President-elect Trump chose Kash Patel to run the FBI A right wing operative

22:02 who's criticized Hunter Biden and vowed to go after Trump's political rivals. The president, in fact, suggested his son would remain a target of the incoming administration saying there is no reason to believe it will stop here. Enough is enough! But several Democrats today said Biden had gone too far, calling the pardon improper and unwise. The crimes are very serious and this isn't singling out one individual... Gary Shapley an IRS investigator who worked on the Hunter Biden tax evasion case took issue with the president's statement that his son faced prosecution only because he is my son And that is wrong

22:38 If the Department of Justice truly is fair and treats every individual the same, then there's no way they could have not charged Hunter Biden with committing these acts. It was quite striking to see several Democratic governors and lawmakers say today that while they understand a father's concern for his son, the president tarnished his legacy and put the interests of his family ahead of the country. They're also worried it could embolden Trump to abuse the same clemency powers once he takes office. That's amazing. Oh yeah, somehow they turn it on Trump Of course! Well no, they all turned it on Trump It's Trumps fault. NPR took it to the Nixon Watergate and the Nixon pardon, which I thought was an interesting angle. I've read that the only comparable pardon with language as sweeping as this was President Gerald Ford's pardon of Nixon do you agree with that assessment? Yeah, that's correct. You know similarly its about a instance where we might think about what might be

23:41 politically motivated or a politically concerned kind of prosecution and if you want to make it blanket to avoid, any possibility that person can still be prosecuted. That's the kind of language you need to use but what it means is we arrive at today with a really weak record on clemency on his part so very few people have received any kind of relief from him. And so it looks like he just singled out his own child, whereas I'm sure there's a lot of parents in America saying hey what about my kid? You know they have a meritorious case and there has been nothing and you know followed all the rules filed the petition but still no ruling. That i think is the problem when it looks like you don't have a functioning pardon system for regular people and its just people who know somebody A functioning pardon system

24:26 Hey, he pardoned those two turkeys. I mean he did that...that was nice. No it's three Three? Oh including Hunter Bing! Here is the second piece of that Wow! I think that is important to highlight because we often hear about pardons when they are high profile controversial individuals but thousands and thousands of other people who may be worthy of a pardon whose names most of us have never heard apply every year and you're saying in most cases under the Biden presidency have been rejected or ignored Exactly, and he has a very low grant rate historically speaking. It's really been mostly symbolic gestures on his part like the big announcement he had for marijuana people who had possessed marijuana you know that didn't release anybody currently incarcerated I mean he inherited a backlog of 18,000 petitions when he took office and really just hasn't made a dent

25:17 So it's a stark contrast to see the Hunter Biden pardon when you're looking at how the regular process has unfolded during his administration. Wow, that's NPR? Yeah. They won't have her on again. Oh I mean they've remembered just a few months ago Joe had put country over party by stepping down and now he's put family over country is just getting worse with him He's going to be he's going to leave in shame. Will they even give him the helicopter? Don't think so John John Stewart, of course had a funny bit about it Finally Democrats have a moral perch from which they can judge without shame hypocrisy or nuance President Biden has issued a pardon for his son Hunter by

26:18 We were so close! Yeah. I would recommend Jon Stewart's last two Monday shows, which was this last one this Monday... It was just the beginning because the bits are quite good and well-structured and then he skipped a week and then the week before that he also did another show opening that was, I thought, one of the best he's ever done. Yeah what was it? It was about loopholes and this one that you saw, this last one was actually part two of the original which is about rules, loopholes and norms. And it's extremely well written So now there are reports from Politico That's WAPO right? Politico

27:10 No, no. Who owns Politico? They're independent operations as far as I know Biden White House is weighing preemptive pardons for potential Trump targets such as Fauci Schiff and Cheney Yeah i don't believe this to be true Well only because Politico said it would I mention it when its in Daily Mail like yeah okay But everyone's afraid, you know because of Kash Patel. Kash Patel is going to weaponize this department. I can tell you why they're afraid of Kash Patel. There was a short clip and he said

27:48 Jeremy Ryan's podcast, I think it was Ryan what his name is. He's some former military guy has a podcast and cashes on there and this is why Washington is worried. It's pretty much what we said he would be doing that we need to decrease what I call government creep with personnel the FBI footprint has gotten so freaking big in the biggest problem The FBI had come out of its Intel shops. I'd break that component out of it. I shut down the FBI Hoover building on day one and reopening the next day as a museum of the deep state. And I take the 7,000 employees that work in that building and send them across America to chase down criminals go be cops your cops Go be cops, go chase down murderers and rapists and drug dealers and violent offenders

28:36 What do you need 7,000 people there for? Same thing with DOJ. What are all these people doing here looking for their next government promotion looking for their next fancy government title? There ya go. The funny thing about that particular clip is that if the mainstream media and I think CBS in particular Oh no, NBC. NBC's the worst right now. NBC in particular took that clip and only played... you know promoting the — I don't have the clip — but promoting the dangers of Kash Patel and they took that clip and took the part where he says The first thing I would do is shut down the J. Edgar Hoover building and they stop it right there They stop after before the punchline we have no punch lines know that they just deep state Which implies that he's shutting down the FBI? Oh, man How lame is that NBC has become you know they've freaked out about their problems with them as NBC They're gonna spin all this stuff off yeah

29:35 And, but it is the master NBC News. The operation at the top is bad. Yeah who runs that? Do we know? I don't know offhand. Of course Trump took a handy advantage of the situation and spun everything around. Breaking news this evening Donald Trump now asking a judge in New York to dismiss the verdict in his hush money case And he is citing the pardon of Hunter Biden this past weekend. Trump's attorneys formally made the request to Judge Juan Marchand, saying the prosecution disrupts the president-elect transition and threatens the function of the federal government. They also wrote quote as President Biden put it yesterday enough is enough this case which should never have been brought must now be dismissed

30:27 Trump was convicted in May on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records, but Judge Mershon decided last week to indefinitely postpone the sentencing. That's kind of interesting hey you know because that pardon I should my case should be dismissed i'm not quite sure exactly how he Well, that was based on the fact that within the pardon structure and what Biden said publicly it was a commentary about all of the Justice Department's corrupt which really irked the guy that Biden hand-picked to do the case.

31:07 So, regarding... It's just basically falling apart. Yeah. Regarding this Fifth Amendment I got some requests for the constitutional lawyer to weigh in you know does indeed the Fifth Amendment no longer apply? Can they have Hunter come into testify and he wouldn't need Fifth Amendment protection to which you of course astutely said well yeah he can still lie obviously And so yes, the constitutional lawyer says of course that's always been my understanding. Same thing happens when prosecutors grant immunity to a witness and then he actually if you're interested in the show notes he has all of these Supreme Court case numbers and files so you can look it up but then he says something very interesting for a constitutional lawyer He says there is one thing you have not considered

31:57 Hunter Biden did not kill himself. So that's the thing we need to be looking at next according to our constitutional lawyer. Well, I think that is a long shot. We talked about that before. Overdose! Yeah, we talked about that before and it would have happened already, I think but The point we had a nasty note that came in saying our constitutional lawyer was an idiot because he didn't point this out, which is that once you're given this kind of immunity you are now forced to testify. No I don't think that's true Are you? No, if you're given immunity You are forced to testify. They can subpoena and make you testify And you cannot say I have to plead the fifth That's being forced Being forced to testifying and lying is not the same thing! Exactly. I'm with you. Yeah no, I'm just saying that you can be forced to testify

32:59 So what? You can lie. That's my point! Yeah, I'm with you and the point is you can't prove perjury unless you have enough evidence that you don't need his testimony in the first place which is this catch-22 of the whole thing Well if they really roll out the evidence a lot of people are going down so I do not expect that to happen No course not because it's just way too many people They're not gonna shrink government either Wait, they're not going to close? Cash Patel's not going to close the Hoover building. I think that may be part of it... That could be part of a bigger plan because there are a lot of people There's two things going on in Washington DC right now. There are too many people working there, and then of course everybody is working from home and now they've codified that so everyone gets to work from home before Trump comes in so everyone is gonna be at home which you know I'd do the same thing if I had the time to pull something like that off working from home all the time If your a government worker Even Amazon has to come back into office

33:57 Everybody's all upset. So they have the two... Let's go over these nominations, I have a couple clips. I think there is the Trump nomination appointments, Trump appointments and play that to get a rundown President-elect Donald Trump announced several more picks for his administration today. NTD's Washington correspondent Jack Bradley joins us live from outside of Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence in Palm Beach, Florida Good evening Jack. President-elect Trump made quite a few picks this morning but who is the more notable nominee? Good evening, Tiffany. Well there's just rolling in as far as the most notable ones Peter Navarro is picked to serve as the senior counselor for trade and manufacturing. Navarro served as the senior trade advisor during Trump's first term he's a staunch advocate for tariffs especially when it comes to tariffs on China remember that was what Biden the Biden administration left in place when Trump left office

34:51 back in 2021. Trump said on Truth Social that the new role quote leverages Peter's broad range of White House experience while harnessing his extensive policy, analytic and media skills. Navarro served a four-month prison sentence that ended in July because he was convicted for refusing to appear before the house select committee on January 6th for the capital breach. We also have Paul Atkins who is nominated for the chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission here. Atkins formerly served as the SEC Commissioner, and he's expected to take a more crypto-friendly approach here and push fewer regulations under Trump than the previous SEC chair. Trump wrote quote Atkins believes in the promise of robust innovative capital markets and are responsive to the needs of investors

35:37 and that provide capital to make our economy the best in the world. Trump also tapped Jared Isaacman for the head of NASA, a $26 billion budget there. Isaacman is a billionaire CEO and astronaut he's flown into space twice He has accepted the nomination this morning posting on X quote Americans will walk on the moon and Mars, and in doing so we'll make life better here on Earth. And Justin former congressman Billy Long of Missouri has just been tapped to head the IRS Oh I love those! Let's get it let's get to Mars it'll make it better here why don't we fix here?

36:17 I have to play a clip from Billy Long in front of the testimony he gave. He was doing some...he's a congressman. So this is the new IRS guy? Yeah, mm-hmm. He's an auctioneer! Hey, biddy biddy biddy biddy biddy biddy biddy dollar bill! One of those guys? Billy Long play the clip. with a national debt. Dime and a trillion, two to the trillion now three you're able to buy them through trade are now four, four trillion dollars five, five trillions six thousand six trillion seven you can buy them seven trillion eight I love it eight trillion dollar nine nine ten eleven eleven trillion down here twelve twelve twenty thirteen you better buy em your out of here thirteen trillion fourteen fourteen trillion now fifteen I have sold at fourteen trillion thankfully Mr Speaker we also could say those numbers backwards so when get the spending under control here i'll be back

37:20 Well, that'll be entertaining. That's good. He apparently got into this shtick I love it when people were in some hearing they were protesting and he'd just go into it. You couldn't hear him. That's funny So he is a funny guy so that's the plus now the other guy they didn't talk about new guys because his name is Hexeth who they're just going after. Well, you know this to me is purely military industrial complex doesn't want any outsider in there and they're doing everything they can pulling out all the stops all every single shit every card they have this guy has not cannot get in and I have no

38:03 No doubt that there will be a lot of Republican senators who won't Affirm him because they're all on the take from the military-industrial complex. There's no way you really think so Holy mackerel! There's gambling going on? Are you cynical or what?! Yeah, I'm very cynical. Let's play this clip... This is attacking Hegseth and on NPR. Oh boy. President-elect Donald Trump's pick to lead the pandemic Wait a minute Is that NPR also sponsored by Archer Daniel Midlands and those guys? Is that NPR? It was sponsored by the military industrial complex in Burlington Northern. There ya go. President elect Donald Trump's pick

38:42 Pentagon is battling accusations of social misconduct and heavy drinking. A former colleague at Fox News... Isn't that a requirement for, A, show business and B, for politics? I mean heavy drinking... Well I would think especially in the Pentagon! Yeah come on people! And heavy drinking. A former colleague at Fox News tells NPR that Peek Hegseth made unwelcome physical advances while inebriated on multiple occasions That's how it works in television you show up JJ Oh, JJ at MTV. He would come rolling in around 730 in the morning still hungover had the company car out all night they called him to franchise he rolling with a couple of chicks like hey let's do some segments that's entertainment more from NPRs David Falkenflik The former colleague tells NPR that Hegseth once even groped her bottom at a Manhattan bar. No no! That is not to be identified for fear retribution

39:37 the Paulettori said that had been debunked by allies at Fox who have stepped forward to defend his name. In 2018, Hegseth's mother privately denounced her son's behavior this morning she appeared on Fox and Friends to try and help him save his nomination. That was a rotten thing to do publishing that mom's letter that was rotten! That was...that's really low

40:19 It was very low. How did they get the letter? Well, you don't know this was it just like my theory which I produced in the newsletter if people would just subscribe But people don't I don't know why boy why that newsletters shouldn't have twice as many subscribers It's good people. It's that good. Don't you think yeah, I love the newsletter if you know, I Just is a short little just because Not only, they love you. The newsletter, you everything I did the morning show Wednesday Matt Long our guy who loves you who reads the newsletter and he shows up in front of studio what does he have? He has a plastic bag with four persimmons

41:04 Oh, good man. Two that were completely ripe and ready to go which are so squishy and two I have to keep it keeping the bag for like three weeks or whatever people love your newsletter love your tips they love you John well I feel loved yeah he should well the point I was making was the newsletter had this point which is that had to be you know the DOD has access to NSA's computers Somebody went in there with, you know we talked about this was some years ago and there were there was a big scandal because these guys these FBI guys are just going to make these searches of all the databases which have all they had everybody's email is in there. Consultants! They weren't even FBI, they were consultants and we know from Edward Snowden All you need is the email address and pops it up the last five days or whatever You know five weeks Of your emails and everything else Yeah of course

41:59 So they go in there and they dig up this email from mom, and then slip it to the New York Times. The New York Times with no qualms publishes this personal email of somebody that was obviously stolen. And they make a big fuss the old lady's gotta go on one of the Fox shows to defend herself saying she was just irked by you know... I mean if they pull emails out between you and me they'd make it look like we're gonna kill each other Especially yours. There are lots of people who have emails like that from you, it's not just me everybody has those but unfortunately for some reason in politics

42:44 And in politics media, it's two sides of the same coin. It used to only be America now increasingly it's other countries. It always comes down to the penis! Oh this is a horrible man because he has a penis and he does stuff and he's an adulterer...and it was always never about policy never about capability never about experience and now they've added drinking to it It's just, it's sick. Heavy drinker! I love it. It's sick. It's so incredible and and it works you know people go oh well he's a drinker. You don't want to drunk there no way. And of course now we have this is

43:23 Who is this report from? This is about Hegseth. This is France 24, they add the latest twists to these nominations. There's widespread speculation here in the US that Donald Trump may be rethinking his nominee for his Secretary of Defense and his cabinet Pete Hegseth best known as the anchor for Fox News Weekends Is the man that Donald Trump has tipped two leaves the Department of Defense But there's been skepticism over his qualifications for the job and now allegations of sexual misconduct as well as excessive drinking and financial troubles are also claiming his candidacy. Financial troubles? Who doesn't have financial troubles?! We are told by numerous sources, and it has been widely reported in various media outlets in the United States that Donald Trump has been having conversations with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis

44:09 as recently as Tuesday about being in the role and also about the potential appointment of Lara Trump, Donald Trump's daughter-in-law to the vacant Senate seat vacated by Marco Rubio's nomination. Well, of course Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is a man who ran against Donald Trump in the primaries of this election that is something which has been held against him by some Republicans and Donald Trump has had a bit of a contestorous past with him. He's called him Meatball Ron in the past, but apparently the two men are getting on well and there is now belief that he could be in the running for the Secretary of Defence role As it stands Pete Hexeth is still not backing down saying that he believes he still has a path forward. He said to some reporters on The Hill on Wednesday I spoke to the President-elect this morning, he said keep going keep fighting I'm behind you all the way

45:00 Why would I back down? But of course, he needs to be confirmed by the Senate in order to get into that cabinet position. Whether Donald Trump is willing to expend the political capital getting there is the question that everybody is asking." No, oh I can hear it now everyone's talking about Pete Hegseth clenching a woman's butt and drinking before showtime and they're all like Oh please don't look at me I think he'd drink after a show, Tommy. He wasn't one of those guys who drank... The show that he did was a morning show and he didn't get to drink in it. Financial troubles! So I think they Trump has you know Hexhawth has to get to the hearings because he's got a lot to say well besides having a lot to say they have to see who this is who are the weak sisters are in the Senate and the Republican side yeah oh yeah they gotta smoke them out You have to identify him Gotta smoke him out

45:53 You gotta smoke them out and then you can go after them politically later or have the public do it, or whatever you want to do. But these senators had got to be smoked out because... Well it's not going to be too hard if you just look at the AIPAC donations which unlike the popular opinion online comes from the American-Israeli Education Fund which is where the military industrial complex donates to You know, it's not the Jews everybody. Simmer down! But yeah I mean just look at the donations... Look at the campaign finances you can see exactly who is going to vote against him but i think we could probably do a pool be easy to see but is DeSantis compromised enough to be Secretary of Defense? Do you think that he's a guy they could muster

46:50 I think they got the goods on him because he was at Gitmo during the torture period. Right, right... They got the goods on him! Yeah, Hegg Seth is too good of an American that's the problem a good soldier you know brave man He's too good for that corrupt outfit yeah DeSantis would be better fit for them yeah well that's ultimately what it's about He talks a big game. He's a good big-game talker, so he can make it look like something is happening but it's not going to happen More likely Kash Patel is the guy who can kick some ass if they get him and he's gonna be the tougher one on the system I was listening to NPR the other day on The Media...I didn't clip it but his whole rise, Patel's rise is quite interesting

47:46 where they, you know... it started really early and he was like just a lawyer. And he was defending some low-level case and, you know, he came into the court And he had to fly from Tajikistan or something and they didn't have a tie for him. And then the judge just reamed him for not having a tie, and then he got this whole thing the systems corrupts. Then he got in with Nunes and then Nunes promised them that when it when the time came we put on the National Security Council so you had this interesting rise really from nothing. Yeah, Nunes is his mentor

48:25 Yeah, so I like Ash Patel. I think he's gonna be fun but he- He is the wild card people are afraid of him and where is the dirt? Does he not have a drinking problem? Well not yet And then of course you know back to consumerism You know, Trump it's he's gonna do it man. It's going to be tariffs is going to be horrible you know what that means when tariffs are coming? It's time to buy now for Christmas! Holiday shoppers might be wondering what tech products they should buy in case President-elect Trump's proposed tariffs go into effect. A recent analysis from the Consumer Technology Association suggests smartphone prices could... How come you're not a member of the Consumer Technology Association that seems like I've never heard of it. I know there's this Consumer Electronics Association which

49:13 Major major operation. I've never heard of see of the consumer technology. I think they made a mistake Oh, I think we should be on it if if it exists beyond it Beyond Asian suggests smartphone prices could rise by 26 proposed tariffs on overprice smart phone is gonna go up in price manufacturers the majority of our smartphones You should also consider replacing your household appliance that may be on the fritz. According to the National Retail Federation- Hey, do you have any household appliances that maybe on the fritz? On the fritz! Well there's a phrase we need to bring back That's a good one I agree It's on the fritz! It's on the fritz man jiggle the handles That is better than glitch! ...that maybe on the fritz according to the national retail federation The tariffs could cause the price of the average appliance to go up by nearly 20%

50:05 Other products that will cost more include gaming consoles and laptops. And already this morning, breaking news just announced minutes ago that it's banning exports of high-tech materials to the U.S., that includes materials like gallium, germanium and antimony, materials used in several products like your cell phone battery. So it has begun in a lot of ways. It has begun. Most definitely by the upcoming administration. We're going to see the impact for sure. For sure By now, by now. But this is Biden! Biden put some more sanctions on didn't he? Wasn't this a Biden move that Trump was not going to have to...

50:44 Pick up I have no idea what you would put yeah. Yeah, there's some new I did something Yes, um well somebody did something almost a it's Biden Yeah Some new chip thing like new tariffs on chips or you can't can't sell certain chips to China There was something new and that's why they retaliated with the gallium which had never even heard of what is galley? Oh, yeah gallium In semiconductors especially specialty ones I think, if i'm not mistaken...I could be wrong on this but.. I think it's used in things that require high frequency. High frequencies. Gallium has got some characteristics that make it workable Well its all part of the China move They're really now we're really starting to move in on China And the reason Biden was in Africa Angola Didn't get....i don't think he go a lot of play

51:39 I only got one clip, but i didn't even know that this was taking place. But this is a pure anti-China move." U.S President Joe Biden on his first trip to Sub-Saharan Africa the visit this week is meant to solidify economic ties with the African nation even as the Biden administration prepares for a transition to Trump's presidency So this is the president's final trip, and with it he wants to kind of leave a legacy marker for improving relations with Africa at a time when China and Russia have deep ties across the continent. China especially has been incredibly strategic

52:19 in terms of developing these relationships, inviting the heads of state to China. And the image of the United States in some of these smaller and lower income countries has also taken a hit because of the close ties between the US and Israel. So one of Biden administration's big investments in four years abroad has been pumping millions of dollars into this new rail corridor that they hope by the end of the decade will stretch from one end of the continent to the other. And that will be a major way that some of the critical minerals that are produced in Africa are brought out to the United States and so Biden was here to take a look at part of that project

53:09 and optimism that even in a Trump administration, that project will continue because it muscles away some of the infrastructure investment that China wants to do in Africa. This is the Trans-Africa Corridor connecting Central Africa's Copper Belt to the Angolan coast! I hadn't heard about this... I haven't either actually. And it's so it's 600 billion dollars, oh that's new financing that's new money so I don't know how much was already there but yeah this is our and this is really I mean that's a real big middle finger to China they're the train guys hey what are you doing we do trains around here. We're the train guys! We do trains around here what are you doing Biden?

53:59 So I thought that was rather interesting. And they're just doing everything they can to... I wonder why that information, because the way it was presented first you had Biden bumbling around and calling Angola a city and they had all these ludicrous clips of him stumbling and mumbling even though even the mainstream couldn't play a good clip yeah and then their background was well he either went to Angola to avoid talking about hunters pardon Or he went there just to give him a billion dollars for no good reason because of climate. There's a climate change visit. Right, this angle to it yeah And they never mention anything about this rail which is actually a good story So why do you think that was suppressed over the climate change angle in so far as the mainstream media? Because there's no money for people in America

54:53 Maybe. And who knows? I think if you're a resentful American and you go over there, hear that they're throwing money at Africa because of climate worries as opposed to throwing money at Africa so they can make a train that drives a bunch of minerals out of the country over to us... I don't think there's a comparison there One is good one is bad It just depends where your money's coming from But if it's all coming from us, it doesn't matter. If the result is good as opposed to just throwing away because of climate change... That was the point they made over and over about this whole climate thing. I wonder by the way what do you think an African foamer sounds like when he sees that train go by?

55:48 I can't wait. Can't wait. Yeah, it's gotta be got to be there. I have a Well, so they're just throwing gold bars overboard at this point. It's like wherever we can throw some money out... Let us throw some money! So of course Ukraine we need to get as much out there or I think what is Jake Sullivan here called the National Security Advisor? The surge of weapons What are you telling your Ukrainian counterparts about American support in 51 days after Biden leaves office

56:30 Well, first what I'm saying is we are going to do everything in our power for these 50 days to get Ukraine all the tools we possibly can to strengthen their position on the battlefield so that they'll be stronger at the negotiating table. And President Biden directed me to oversee... This is a key talking point. Get them all that we can so they'll be stronger at the negotiating table. This thing is over! This thing is ending, everybody knows it. And it's just how do they do it? Who gets left over with the spoils this is where they're at and it's just throw that money at it we need... It doesn't even make sense!

57:07 Like, oh if we send 7 billion more dollars then he'll be stronger at the negotiating table? I don't see how it makes sense. But this is the talking point. The tools we possibly can to strengthen their position on the battlefield so that they'll be stronger at the negotiating table and President Biden directed me to oversee a massive surge in in the military equipment that we are delivering to Ukraine so that we have spent every dollar the Congress has appropriated to us by the time President Biden leaves office. So, that's first and foremost what were focused on And then I've encouraged the Ukrainian team to engage the incoming team as well as to engage all of our allies and partners because again on January 21st The war in Ukraine doesn't just go away

57:51 Obviously, the new team will have its own policy and approach. I can't speak to that but what i can do is make sure we put Ukraine in the best possible position when we hand off the baton. Okay... Is this paying everybody off? You got it! Don't make waves. We're going to pay everybody off. This is money laundering And that kind of fits in with our boy Mark Rutte. Mark Rutte going to tell you what we're doing, what he can and cannot do with NATO regarding Ukraine. Ukraine's foreign minister went to Brussels with two asks more air defenses and an invitation for his country to join NATO the latter he says is the only real guarantee of security in the face of Russian aggression Now is a time is a true time

58:40 geopolitical certainty and we need this certainty, we need strong decisions to strengthen us, to strengthen our capacities. But leading his first of these meetings as Secretary General Mark Rutte was quick to push the question of membership aside I would argue let's not have all these discussions step by step on what a peace process might look like make sure that Ukraine has what it needs to get to a position of strength when those peace talks start. Oh, the strengths when the peace talks start? So it's starting soon! Meaning it is a request which seems unlikely right now With the US awaiting a change in leadership come January and Germany facing elections a month later The pair fear such a request could drag NATO into war with Russia We share the concern that Mark expressed

59:31 for Ukraine in this ongoing aggression, but that only reinforces our determination to make sure that Ukraine has what it needs to deal with what is facing on the battlefield. The alliance says anything other than a strong Ukraine risks emboldening others contemplating a similar path of aggression Aside from Ukraine meetings in the building behind me will address other threats to NATO members cyber attacks infrastructure sabotage energy blackmail as well as threats from pro-russian political parties in countries like Georgia Romania and Bulgaria. Ah, Bulgaria next on the list we haven't had we even heard them kick up yet we have Romania and Georgia by the way how far is Ferndale from where you live? Ferndale yeah

1:00:18 Is it Ferndale in Southern California? No, it's supposed to be Humboldt County. Oh that's some... Humboldt County is nowhere near here Okay because everyone's texting me and I've got- I'd say its about 200 miles. Alright. You know what? At least 100 miles. I'm getting text messages Everyone's concerned they can't believe you're alive What's going on at Ferndale? A 7.0 magnitude earthquake has struck off the coast of Northern California Tsunami warning has been issued That's nowhere near here. Grab your floaties And if it was a 7.0, which is the pretty strong quake and I didn't feel it Yeah, that's why let him find it rather lies too far away questionable questionable Okay Well tsunami warning tsunami warning not expecting that either breaking news breaking news breaking news I'm just I'm glad you're safe stay safe So

1:01:18 You know, part of this is yeah it's money laundering. It's money to pay off the military-industrial complex okay boys we got a little period here we're all gonna chill out when they give some of these some of our contacts over in Ukraine some money or winding it down Trump is obviously gonna by the way did you see that Tucker Carlson is going to Russia again and now he's going to interview Sergei Lavrov? Yep. This is, this is I think this is a fantastic development Why? Because Lavrov speaks perfect English so it'll be a much more comfortable His english is good It will be a much more comfortable interview and you know Tucker's gonna go over there and Lavrov can put out whatever he wants and everybody's gonna watch it Ferndale's 293 miles away Stop waxing your surfboard no tsunami for you

1:02:12 That's a long way. Anyway, I think it's going to be very interesting to see what messages Lavrov is going to send to us Oh yeah! Well that will be good Yeah Because he definitely has things... He's one of those guys who likes to drop little tidbits that you can interpret one way or the other and he's got the ear...I mean he is Putin Yeah oh definitely And meanwhile the Palantir CEO? That guy is weird He ever looked at that guy? I'm glad you know. I like the use of your word though Yeah, well he is but he's actually capital W Have you not seen this guy with the curly hair the floppy hair that's flying all over the place No let me look him up You gotta look him up! He's a very odd duck hold on second Palantir What's his name? CEO Palantir The Alex Karp

1:03:09 Alex Karp, where does he come from? I mean... K-A-R-P. So what is his...? Oh, Stanford! Right?! Isn't this exactly the kind of guy who's got a mop head He's a goofy looking guy, never combs his hair It's grayish and CIA-ish but it's unkempt Yeah but this is a very big military contractor And for all intents and purposes, I don't like Palantir. They don't seem like a good company that who knows where they're in? They're in all kinds of systems and this by the way is part of the what's-the-name... The PayPal Mafia guy who got JD Vance

1:04:03 Into the senator seat suppose. Yeah, this is what's-his-name's buddy or his major investment is Peter Thiel yeah He's like oh no oh no No This war is not over it's very hard to know what's gonna happen But you have an adversary who was zero sum If Putin goes home and says, hey we lost. He will lose his life, his friends will lose their life they'll lose all their money and he'll go to his grave feeling that he lost which he does not want to do We in the West most of us in the West correctly believe if we allow these kind of things to happen if we allow people to violate the sovereignty of a land and rape pillage and destroy people who are innocent in that land That this will set a horrible precedent so we can't allow that to happen

1:04:45 Also, we've shown that we develop superior technology and would be combined with heroes on the ground. We can actually win And so this is just still a class of culture Really really mophead guy I mean he's like oh no it's still going on I'd be the heroes on the ground with our technology they can win they can beat Russia Is you not ready? This guy co-founded Palantir mm-hmm But he's the CEO. He is not as spook it looks like, but he looks... Spook adjacent! He looks like the data guy. I invented it all. I'm the database man. Karp is a critic of short sellers and said that he loves burning the shorts sellers because of his stock

1:05:31 He has compared them to cocaine addicts and says they just love pulling down great American companies. So far his stock is doing just fine. Karp has described himself as a socialist and a progressive, Oh! And says he voted for Hillary Clinton. No wonder he's not in the group. I don't know man... Well he must have the goods on everybody. I don't know it's odd So did you by any chance see... He's a warmonger if you look at his background. Look at Wiki, people should look him up on Wiki. He is progressive! Of course he is progressive. I had a thought the other day and watched the entire two and half hours of

1:06:16 Mike bends on Joe Rogan. Did you happen to see any of that? No, I did not Thank you But III knew you would and I'm now waiting to hear your analysis also and I did ask Tina I said could you just please listen to this episode and And she had because she was driving to San Antonio and she text me within 10 minutes says I can't Listen to this and she can listen almost anything say this guy is He's just like, he has diarrhea of the mouth. I don't know what he is talking about. He is jumping around and I have no clue! This was...I think Joe said if he said 50 words in this entire episode it was a lot

1:06:55 And it was just like the mic, it was so convoluted. I'll give you...I have a minute and half of just a needle drop, just a needle drop just so you kind of get the idea of how he jumps around this is something we know a little bit about but just listen to a needle drop of what this entire two-and-a-half hours was like. This is basically the month before the Bob Mueller investigation and they wanted to pre censor I mean, it's a lot of people.

1:07:33 Sear Morella, the CIA agent came from the Vindman brothers who were military. Basically Trump had a big beef with the existing brass of the Pentagon and the intelligence community over Russia policy, over Eurasia policy which is a whole thing that we can maybe talk about if you're interested but so The Atlanta Council was one of the very first movers in the censorship industry space I mentioned how this really started in 2014 25 years of free speech diplomacy sort of ended with the 2014 Ukraine fiasco because of this Jurassic Moff doctrine hybrid warfare thing and I mentioned that that's when NATO began setting down infrastructure just to censor the internet. And, that's what snowballed into what we now have and so The Atlantic Council effectively bills itself as NATO's think tank That's what it's known as in Washington you know there is

1:08:27 You know, the places like the Council on Foreign Relations are sort of more known for Chamber of Commerce and big business sort of working on government policy. The Atlantic Council is one of these that's for NATO and it's basically NATO's clandestine civilian sort of civil military arm. So you can understand that most mere mortals listen to this and go what is he talking about? You know, they probably got left behind at Trump's impeachment. Okay I'm there and then it's the 2014 Atlantic Council and the Council on Foreign Relations. He is all over the map And to most people just boring. I found it very interesting because he knows a lot and he's very well

1:09:09 He called, this is my North Star. But all he talks about is censorship, censorship, censorship... It's only about censorship and then how you know the all these different groups USAID and the State Department's Global Engagement Center and how they were making the tech company censor-censor and that's all it talks about is censorship And what I realized at the end of this and Joe Rogan literally said I have to go back and listen this episode two more times understand what you just said so i don't think many people got it but what he didn't talk about is propaganda and he never mentions, and this was telling to me never mentioned Smith-Muntz the Smith-Muntz Modernization Act which was 2012. Well I would at least suggest that perhaps

1:10:04 He assumes that everyone knows about this and he just overlooked it. No, no, no. It sounds like he was jamming everything he could into this. There's no reason for him to say oops I assumed you knew about this And by the way, most of these ex-military – and he's not military but he was State Department. Whatever! I don't care if he has a foundation for defending freedom online. There is no Form 990 you can donate to it. I don't know how that guy makes money. I don't care. But his job is to tell Joe Rogan about all this censorship And as I started to think about it, because all of his stories kind of start in 2012. This is exactly when the Smith Modernization Act of 2012 came into play... ...as part of the National Defense Authorization Act and maybe we just need to remind people what this was.

1:10:59 And it was specifically that, well here it is. Amends the United States Information Educational Exchange Act of 1984 which means you can't propagandize Americans to authorize the Secretary of State and the Broadcasting Board of Governors... That is Tucker Carlson's dad. To provide for the preparation and dissemination of information intended for foreign audiences abroad about the United States, including about its people, its history, the federal government policies through press publications radio motion pictures The Internet and other information media including social media and then through information centers and instructors, and it says basically you can now do this in America. And as I was thinking about it... So I'm already off Mike Benz right? So Mike Benz he's trying to focus everybody on censorship Do you remember one of the big social media experiments that took place in 2012 that we were shaking our head at like where is this coming from well not offhand Kony 2012

1:12:03 Oh yeah. Kony 2012 was the first one... 100 billion views! Overnight, overnight and everybody oh Kony 2012 it was about some African warlord who is using children and the guy who was running it later went nuts and was running around naked on top of parked cars at a motel I mean right From that, whatever that was. What was the stuff? Bath salts or whatever it was at the time, any other trend... Or whatever they did to him because I'm just realizing this wasn't an experiment This was one of the first, let's see if we can get a video to go via... We didn't have TikTok. You know? But this is well after- It was YouTube Yeah exactly but this and it was YouTube but this is another fine Google outfit This was well after social networks had already kind of come alive

1:12:57 And so what, and I'm just kind of associating free association. In my head I got oh, I remember John used to say that the internet just made their job easier to propagandize everybody which is true! You know they were doing it through magazines and newspapers and television you know? So now these military guys... Now that Smith-Munt is out of the way It was in the National Defense Authorization Act for a reason And now we can just do all kinds of propaganda. So the same day that I'm looking at this, Jonathan Haidt comes out with an article and Jonathan Haidt is the guy who wrote The Coddling of the American Mind about how we've turned out all these wussies. I'm paraphrasing his book

1:13:46 And he has this article and he says, they got this Pew research. They got all this data and the title of this article is why the mental health of liberal girls sank first and fastest? I thought that was kind of interesting because that's your TikToks right there! They're all liberal girls and women and they're going nuts and out of control. So i'm reading this and their conclusion There's three great untruths that these women have come to believe, and here they are. They're fragile and can be harmed by books, speakers' words...

1:14:28 which are forms of violence. They came to believe that their emotions, especially their anxieties were reliable guides to reality and they came to see society as comprised of victims and oppressors good people and bad people But their conclusion is that every single one of these girls, and it was much less prevalent on conservative boys and girls probably because they're doing Bible study whatever else but it still went up for them as well. Was that every single one of them when asked the question in the survey has a doctor or other health care provider ever told you that you may have a mental condition? A mental health condition all of them said yes

1:15:14 So, I'm thinking there's two things that may have been going on since 2012. One, that we may be under some big DARPA experiment and they've been noodling in our minds with a sewer pipe into our brains for years for over a decade just seeing what would happen well what if we tweak this? And you don't need the collaboration of the social media for that You can just get the data from ad buys information so you can target exactly who you want. All of these what I call number nicks, the people on X who are telling you that you're no good and you're a Zionist they all have a name with a long number This to me is not a real person or it's someone maybe in the global engagement center And then the second thought I had is if

1:16:10 If you are the pharmaceutical industry, and this really started on Tumblr. This is what you do! You go in there and make all these girls worried that they have mental health issues... And you confirm that continuously on Reddit and everywhere else they go And you just continuously confirm, affirm. And I think that we've been under several massive not... forget the censorship! We have been under attack by multiple organizations and that this is what has led to people like Leslie Jones talking like this on a podcast

1:16:55 with Gavin Newsom of all people. Because most white people are, they just don't understand that they have that microaggression. Y'all mostly are you don't even understand some of the racist shit you do and by accident just from being a white entitled motherfucker Seriously it's- and that shit starting to show now And its getting so bad like oh we dont want You to see your history and all I think people are just waking up to the shit that's been going on and now we're waking up.

1:17:46 current sort of more the extreme of what you're just saying and sort of distillation in the last few years, I sense in particular was a reaction to George Floyd. It was sort of a reaction right? Sort of in that sort of covid framework. This is a boomerang that really exposes it at a whole nother level. Yeah, I think that covid fucked us up I think that when we had that pandemic and was inside for a little while, I think that some of us lost our fucking mind. And again Gavin, I just think it's sadness. We're sad! We don't understand what is going on with our government Our goverment is supposed to be boring

1:18:26 You know what I'm saying? We're not supposed to turn on the TV every day and see child molesters and felons and shit in our government. We're supposed to be like, those are the most boring motherfuckers and we don't give a fuck! Like no one... everyone's frustrated because now this is happening and we never understood the system." So this is a very, very troubled, very broken and sad person And I think this is what happened. This is, you know during COVID everybody's online they struck they went out and they just collected souls man and you know what Blue Cry? I would say people have to be very very careful on that Blue Cry outfit

1:19:08 Because that's going to be the next target. They're going to make them nuts, all of them and then what's gonna happen on X? That's just gonna be... it's gonna be this way It's gonna be Tumblr will be Blue Cry and 4chan will be x And there's propaganda going on both sides and the end result is Oxfords Word Of The Year Brain rot! You have it I have it. It's the Oxford word-of-the-year for 2024 allow me to define it quotes Supposed deterioration of a person's mental or intellectual state especially viewed as result of over consumption of material now particularly online content considered to be trivial or on challenging You can use it in two ways. You could say, as you may say about this very video you're watching on your phone That's brain rot Or you can say that video gave me brain rot two ways. It's all very

1:19:59 relatable. I get it, yeah. So it's the word of the year? It's the word of the year first used by Waldo Emerson. No. Thoreau? The brain rot is getting me! It's killing me! The guy who wrote Walden's Pond or Walden he went to the pond... He first used it in reference- it would be Thoreau. Of course it would be Thoreau as I recall He first used it in the 1800s. It's back, it's the word of the year I clearly suffer from it. And it makes sense? Yeah. It does make a lot of sense! So everyone has got brain rot and the only people who are semi-normal are ones that just stay off of it or at least don't use it in an app formation like you do although you could easily be susceptible to it. I think we've been under attack for over a decade and we didn't even realize it and we all focused on no censorship

1:20:53 But meanwhile, they're just pushing messages all day long from the military from pharma and maybe from others. I think your analysis is good until you get to the brain war on. Yeah, I had to wrap it up. I didn't have anything else that tried to try to... I don't think you have a conclusion to this I don't have proof. This is, I'm throwing it out. I'm throwing it out that and so what I want... It's a thesis. Yes, it's a classic thesis in other words you suggest something is going on It could be, and the methodologies which would include Ben's and these people. There is a group of people that are all part of the experiment And the reason you make it... You emphasize censorship because you don't want them to stop doing it Yeah exactly! He doesn't want people to think about what's really going on

1:21:50 No, you don't want them to stop. I mean if you have censorship then somebody could put a stop to the experiment Oh that's another good point That's very good. How do you even consider that one and I look at this blue sky outfit? Where is where everyone's rushed over there and they have all these things like well You have to assume that the fact that they rushed over the way they did especially after the CNN report that showed that what happened to Twitter was it got balanced. It's not a bunch of right-wingers, there was a very carefully done report showing it used to be like 56% Democrats 40 something percent Republicans now it's like 48 Democrats 47 Republicans still more Democrats than Republicans but balanced and this seems to have people upset especially when its brought up even on CNN

1:22:41 Yeah, but this is also where I just can't help thinking about how the military has been feeding certain women who we know all this nonsense about the grids going down. There won't be an election that propagates out through their social media accounts it's just seems like one big experiment to me It could be. And the Kony 2012 is the giveaway that was... The Kony 2012 is definitely part of it, because that did trigger and show that something could make people... But then again, it had no fundamental shape, made no fundamental change all I do was got attention

1:23:23 And people would propagate the nonsense that this guy was some sort of a screwball African guy that was using kids to shoot people. And it was, and it was a big deal you had to stop him but there was no... It didn't make, it didn't change anybody's vote. It didn't make me want to do something. Didn't make you wanna buy something? The whole thing was just that It was almost like a wheel spinning experiment to see if you could get people to, you know, screech their tires. It didn't really accomplish anything that I can think of. I think it was just to see how a video going viral would get news...I just pulled this out of the hat, Kony 2012 CBS. The head of the US Africa command says the five-year hunt for warlord Joseph Kony is ending

1:24:11 Now, I'm looking for the... For like the big... Oh Clooney was involved in that. You remember that? Clooney got involved? I'd like indicted war criminals to enjoy the same level of celebrity as me. Yeah, and then we had Rihanna... And for- To get the youth involved with something like that. Angelina Jolie... I don't think I know anybody who doesn't hate Joseph Kony. And anybody who works in international fields has been aware and- Yeah yeah yeah, there was a whole group of them But it was- The whole point is to get attention for something that didn't matter So anyway Be on the lookout people

1:24:54 But Clooney is an interesting case. You know, Clooney is the executive producer of this new show The Agency Oh! Oh, I haven't seen that yet. Have you seen it? You'll want to see it It's a...I don't think everyone is going to like this show. It's a spookshow and it reveals some maybe it reveals some tradecraft thats interesting but Clooney is the guy behind it. Its actually a stolen show The show was taken from a show in France that went for five seasons called Le Bureau de l'Agent. And it, and that show I ended up watching the agency and then I watched the French show one episode it's almost a scene by scene lift every single scene except a couple of changes were made to The American Show for example they the spy who's

1:25:51 played by Michael Fassbender, who's quite good. The French version of it the guy was in Syria and he had to break off with his relationship so he could be moved back to Langley. The French one is for the French intelligence. And they got...the girl was a pretty Syrian girl White the American version the woman is a black girl's has to be an African of course, of course You had to make gotta do that. Those kinds of changes are throughout I'm surprised listening Jones wasn't up for the role she would have been perfect This so there's nomenclature Changes and some other things but this script is almost word-for-word in scene by scene. I called Brunetti da

1:26:39 About this saying this is like plagiarism as far as I'm concerned and he said in Hollywood He says you do you bring in the same team that did the original show as a just part of this? So they get paid so they get paid. So they get their money and they also they can't sue for plagiarism because they're suing themselves And he says and then I said to him, I said oh Well, you know, the dialogue is like... The writers just took the French and made it English. Everything's shot by shot!

1:27:15 And he says, yeah. He says writers are lazy If you can do that Yeah, that's what you do. Uh-huh. He says wife fix something is not broken You know, he perfects just a Hollywood guy. He also has some comments about our show He wants to make it change which we'll discuss at someone who would discuss after the show Which I really we're gonna do we're gonna take advice from Hollywood now When we took advice and one of the things that he wants. Yeah, we'll talk about it. Oh, yeah I'm surprised you already hasn't called you because he likes to back channel. Oh, yeah That's a Hollywood way man, but we know how those guys are right? Hey, so How you doing? So if you want to watch the bureau You can get that thing was on Netflix and I think is around here in there you can pick it up

1:28:02 And see what the show's about but did the American version is only released two and it's really I think it's a good spookshow It's creepy, and it's got all the elements you want. It's a little I think for the general public so little slow-moving But yeah anyway when it comes to Clooney is a spine. And, uh... I'm not implementing any of Brunetti's ideas until he gives you a bit part in something. He says he's never gonna do another film. Oh, okay alright can we write that down? Can we write that down December 5th 2024 Happy Sinterklaas by the way to our Dutch audience Is today the day yeah today is the day he comes and puts something in into little kids wooden shoes with his black peat There wasn't much I didn't hear much controversy this year about the black peat they probably have rainbow peats now so there's no more black peats

1:29:07 Well, you should look into that. Because every year for the last decade we've been bitching and moaning about this Black Pete character But they achieved the objective The objective was for the Dutch to admit that they're a bunch of racist slave holders and slave transporters And they gave all this money to Suriname and Indonesia and opened up a museum They buckled! So they got paid Then all of sudden it stops That was the whole point. Remember there was that United Nations lady who was leading that every year? I don't know if you remember that, but... No, I don't Yeah it was a pressure campaign and they buckled of course Yeah it's for money Yeah here is my bike whatever take my bike Take my bike There still a huge collection somewhere I guess somewhere I do have one other thing If you want to hear something about Trump Well first of all I'm sure you heard about

1:30:04 Trump's threat to BRICS, which I have a short clip here. Donald Trump is threatening to impose tariffs on so-called BRICS nations what he actually said there? Yeah over the weekend he said that those nations would face 100% tariffs if they pushed ahead with plans that have been flaunted that perhaps those nations should become less reliant in global trade on the US dollar. Now those nations include very strong trading partners with the U.S., it's Brazil, Russia India China and South Africa and Donald Trump saying he wants a commitment from the BRICS nations that they have no intention of launching their own currency or becoming less reliant on the US dollar

1:30:53 So Trump is obviously on the warpath and he wants everybody to use dollars. I've been trying to figure out when he said you know, Bitcoin is like the new oil and he said that at Bitcoin 2024. And you know it's all in on crypto and he was going to make the bitcoin strategic reserve. An of course he was out there going hey! You like your bitcoin now? As it broke $100 000 a bitcoin I found this interview from this guy Luke Grohman He has been on CNBC and he's around... financial guys, you know what he has a FFTT or whatever his outfit is called. And he had really quite an interesting take on why Trump said that and because I've been trying to figure out the stable coins how that works with the T-bills and everything and how... Because Trump is not just gonna say oh Bitcoin's great because arguably it would be bad for the dollar and it didn't make a lot of sense

1:31:50 But he's a macro guy and I think he might be on to something. Listen, this...I got this from Jupiter Broadcasting my buddy Chris over there who found this interview What I laid out for clients three weeks ago was sort of thought process is how I started thinking about it It changed the way that I was thinking about Bitcoin as the new oil comment from Trump which if we go back in time to late 73 early 74 Oil rose in price by 400% from October 73 to April 74. And there is an interview that was given on CNN International by the former Saudi oil minister, Sheikh Yamani in 2010 and which he said there was a meeting of Bilderberg Group at this Swedish island in late 73, October 73 Henry Kissinger attended and said look the price of oil's going up 400%, get onboard

1:32:49 And it happened. And again, these are not my words. These are the words of the former Saudi oil minister on CNN 14 years ago He highlighted that and the point of the US doing that was essentially to make the oil market big enough to back U.S. deficits, basically recycle flows back into U.S debt, basically fix the U.S fiscal problem post-Vietnam War and after we left the gold standard it basically put us on an oil standards sort. Does that sound right you? Because I don't know the history of that does that

1:33:25 Jive with what you know, I can't say it. I don't know for sure but it doesn't There's nothing he said that doesn't make sense So here's here's how he connects it to Bitcoin being the new oil With the stable coins remember Trump said I love your bitcoin and your stable coins and all the Bitcoin people like what are you talking about? You know those stable coins and when I thought back to that interview by shake Amani In light of the Treasury report, which was really the catalyst for the rethink and then Paul Ryan point. And then Trump's point in August where he said hey maybe we'll just pay off our debt with a little Bitcoin which was a really odd comment I started to wonder if Bitcoin is the new oil that it is not...that it is Bitcoin is going to be inflated like oil was so that

1:34:21 It will inflate stable coins so that stable coins will buy a lot more treasury. Basically, Bitcoin going much higher this Treasury report showed that stable coin demand for T-bills would soar. Because all those stable coins are backed by some bitcoin but mainly by treasuries? We need to wait a week in the dollar while strengthening the dollar system And you look at this and you go, gosh, this checks all the boxes. If we inflate the heck out of Bitcoin, you're going to increase stable coins, you can increase stable coin demand for T-bills what that will do because Bitcoin is a global asset it's it will draw in dollars from around the world into T-bills into stable coins

1:35:12 But at the same time, the dollar will be collapsing against Bitcoin. That's what I think Trump may have meant by bitcoin is the new oil." I just thought it was like hey someone hears my stablecoin argument! I don't know if this sounds right? Sounds like a huge bubble but... It does sound like a bubble but doesn't mean it's not something that would happen. Yeah, I just thought was really interesting Like, because you know... Well you know Trump is a you know he's got the he's got a bunch of screwy financial guys around like remember what was his name Munchkin? Oh yeah! Mnuchin. My fellow Tourette sufferer Mnuchin Yeah that guy and it's possible they've dreamed some scheme up to uh because our debt is ridiculous

1:36:02 Yeah. That's why we have the auctioneering officer. Hey, bidda-bidda-bidda-bidda! 34 trillion a minute... Yeah our debt seems to be bit of a problem and he's got to refi the country somehow with your stable coins I don't know but it'll be interesting to see what happens but everything is happening on January 21st January 21st Jan 21st everything is going down We both had the clip But I didn't even clip because I saw was in your list where is it? Yeah, HOTEP comes on the Nicole Wallace show and before we play that clip... Well actually I have a couple of clips to play if you're gonna bring him in. But first of all before we play it there's a clip from the last show i don't have it on this list but you can look at up real quick It's called Get Boosted

1:36:56 The NPR message. Here we go. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says few people have been vaccinated against flu or COVID-19 as the holiday season approaches. It appears Rob Stein has more. The CDC says only about one third of adults have gotten this year's flu shot, and less than 18% have gotten one of the new COVID boosters. As for the new RSV vaccine, only 40 percent of adults ages 75 and older have gotten that recommended shot There isn't a lot of flu or RSV right now and the COVID numbers are still falling from this summer's big surge. But all those viruses could pick up quickly as people start to travel and gather for Thanksgiving in the winter holidays. So it can pick up, can pick up an uptick? Get your shot! Get your shots get your shots! So if you didn't like that then you listen to Peter Hotez here on Nicole Wallace

1:37:50 Hold on a second. What's it? I'm looking for it now, now suddenly... That's the one you just... I know! But I can't find in your list. I'm looking for HOTEZ and I don't see him for some reason Yeah. Hold on a second. It all caps as HOTEZ. Yeah, I know. It's like it's in the pile 1 bottom of pile 1 Oh this is very interesting. How did I not get this? Hold on a second John something went very wrong here Did I miss some of your clips somehow hold on a second We'll have to cut this part out because this is very unprofessional. I set you up and then I screwed it over Where's Hotez? I'm looking in pile one no oh huh says Hotez in all caps, but it didn't download for some reason Well, I'm very sorry about this okay alright just when you thought it wouldn't happen here is

1:38:51 Here's the reason why we need to care about this stuff. Nicole, is that we have some big picture stuff coming down the pike starting on January 21st Mr Bloomberg mentioned H5N1 I want you to listen, everyone should listen to this carefully because there's no problem with any diseases whatsoever until Trump gets in office. No January 21st specifically he's pinpointing it January 21st! Yeah that's when the shit hits the fan here we go. We have some big picture stuff coming down the pike starting on January 21st Mr Bloomberg mentioned H5... What does he mean by big picture stuff? What does that even mean

1:39:36 Disease, famine, pestilence. On the pike starting on January 21st Mr Bloomberg mentioned H5N1 that I'm really worried about it's all over wild birds on the western part of the United States and going up in the north it's getting into the poultry we're seeing sporadic human cases no human to human transmission yet but that could happen its in the cattle it's in the milk And that's just the beginning. We have another major coronavirus likely brewing in Asia, we've had SARS in 2002, SARS-2 COVID 19 and 2019 and we know these viruses are jumping from bats to people thousands of times a year but that's... Hold on a second! I've not heard that this is jumping from bats to people thousands of times a year? Yeah

1:40:27 Yeah! This is new. 2019 and we know these viruses are jumping from bats to people thousands of times a year but that's there still more there we know There's more! We have a big problem with mosquito transmitted viruses all along the Gulf Coast where I am here in Texas or expecting dengue and probably possibly Zika virus coming back or a Pudge virus, maybe even yellow fever. And there's more than we have all the sharp rise in vaccine preventable diseases going up because of part the anti-vaccine activism that so prominent right now. We have a fivefold rise in pertussis cases whooping cough over the last year 15 measles outbreaks this year. We've got polio that's been in the wastewater in New York state. All that's gonna come crashing down on January 21st

1:41:16 the Trump administration we need a really really good team to be able to handle this. And a partridge in a pear tree... It all starts on January 21st! Not on the 20th, nope nope on the 21st is when it all goes down. What a lunatic this guy is yeah now I have to play that brings me do with the clips okay Dr. Christina Park oh where are she from? These clip were dug up These clips were dug up by one of our producers and it's from a, it was during a hearing in the Michigan uh Houser Center. Oh yes this is very good this is very good yes And she outlined she's a PhD at virology She's got all these I don't know if she's a virologist but she's This was classic C-SPAN material This is good stuff Yep and she and the reason this was sent to me and It's from 2021

1:42:08 It's during the lockdown thing and all this that was going on, and she was fighting against a lot of this stuff. And one of it...it was sent to me because of this constant commentary about pertussis. We brought it up, what is pertussis? Why are they making a fuss? The whooping cough you know thats what pertussis is right? Yes whooping cough. So she has an explanation on pertussis and she goes along with other stuff but the pertussis thing starts us off and this is like oh Okay, well now after hearing Hotez going on about pertussis you listen to this. So let's look at DTAP which the scientists and the CDC have known since 2014 that the acellular pertussis vaccine does not prevent people from getting infected with the pertussis bacteria and passing it to others in fact it was never designed to do that The vaccine was designed to neutralize the pertussis toxin

1:43:03 Cortosis, we know it as whooping cough. It can be fatal for children under six months so neutralizing this toxin saves lives all right I'm not going to debate that But what it doesn't do is neutralize the bacteria. So, what happens is fully vaccinated children go to daycare they pick up that bacteria and they come home and they give it to their newborn brother or sister They get deathly ill And they go to the hospital Hopefully our medical professionals are able to save them But who do they blame? Now the CDC is blaming anti-vaxxers for the limitations of this vaccine design. I suggest that they be transparent and tell parents that although it is preventing severe disease in their children, it is not preventing transmission because we have created a whole class asymptomatic pertussis carriers who are increasing the disease. The old DTP vaccine that many of you who are my age or older got

1:44:02 did prevent transmission. When we switched to the safer acellular virgin, they knew that it was never designed to prevent transmission. It was safer and had less adverse events but pertussis cases have gone through the roof there's a resurgence in pertussis because of the design of the vaccine and the vaccinologists know this they're trying to address it so we cannot mandate that something does not prevent transmission Oh, give her the hook. Take her out! Burn that witch!" I found this to be the most interesting thing that... So basically guys like Hotez they know this They all know this That they changed the vaccine because of the one i had when i was a kid was the old one which i guess Was more dangerous but it prevented spread and catching it and spreading it

1:44:54 They know that this is going on and they lie to the public and then they blame the anti-vaxxers. He is in fact a childhood vaccine expert, witnesses of childhood vaccines for children under 7. I think some kids don't get it right away? DTAP? They stick it in your heel or something? I dunno. Yeah, Hotez he would know! She goes on with some other little tidbits that are interesting and I'm gonna... might as well play a couple of them, at least play this one. This is Fluvax All right, what about the flu vaccine? Well they have shown that basically there's no difference. There is no statistical difference if you're vaccinated or unvaccinated whether you get the flu or not but it's even worse because although that first year is somewhat effective at preventing symptoms in you after that actually has negative efficacy and I want to address this because its very important

1:45:53 Vaccines are made to a specific variant and when that variant mutates, the vaccine no longer recognizes it. And so it's like you're seeing a completely new virus and because that's so, you actually get more severe symptoms when you're vaccinated against one variant and then it mutates and then your body sees the other variants. So there is a potential in the science shows that in fact with the flu if you get vaccinated in multiple years you are more likely to get severe disease, you are more likely have more viral replication and you're more likely be hospitalized both in adults and children. Ah there's money in the bank! This is a great idea bring me into the hospital perfect perfect Wow where is Dr. Christina Park? Is she still with us today? She's dead they shot her

1:46:43 I hope not. We should track her down because she probably has more things to say, she also had some negative commentary. Gee! I can't imagine why? Negative commentary about the COVID vaccine back in 2021 when it first came out We are seeing the same thing in COVID with the Delta variant. And so we're mandating that people get a vaccine that could actually make them more sick when they're exposed to the virus, in fact this week a paper came out and what it showed is that with this Delta variant when you're vaccinated your body makes antibodies that are supposed to neutralize the virus

1:47:20 But they were supposed to neutralize the old variant. When they see this new variant, what they're doing is actually the antibodies are taking the virus and helping it infect the cells. All right? That science was just published this week We need to be looking at the science and we need our policy To reflect the science and we also needed to reflect our rights Yeah, she has a rumble channel Oh good, that should be worth watching. She's still with us on Rumble this is good news. Yeah Rumble it's nobody listens to her. Okay so the last commentary I thought was pretty a little

1:47:59 I thought this was interesting too, and this is the end notes. And so as a PhD who knows the science, I'm in the category of the most vaccine hesitant group. Yes, PhD's are the most vaccine hesitant followed by people who have less than a high school degree because they know what they don't know and they don't trust their government. And many people, the other group that is very vaccine hesitant are African Americans 70% of African Americans have not taken this vaccine Why? Because they don't trust their government. Do they have reason not to trust their government? Between the years of 1930 and 1970, the CDC conducted the Tuskegee experiment where they took untreated males with syphilis and refused to treat them even after antibiotics became

1:48:50 available, they still did not treat them and they did not tell them that they had syphilis. They told those people that they were there to secure their health and they did not secure their health. They abused them." You say well that was in the past although I don't think 1970 was that long ago while in 2012 whistleblower William Thompson came forward and said we published a study that said MMR does not cause autism But we lied. In fact, we shredded data that showed that when black boys are vaccinated on time they have increased rates of autism diagnosis and we shredded it and left it out of the paper. Wow I didn't know about the Tuskegee experiment but I knew I didn't know about that. Of course not! Who's going to tell you?

1:49:37 Wow. Well, you know we've changed though We've changed...we've gotten smart in the vaccine industry We've wised up! We're like, we're not gonna do that on black Americans anymore Let's find some brown people to work on This is the Reid Hoffman podcast I'm sorry The Bill Gates podcast with Reid Hoffmann as his discussion partner But when India is an example of a country where there are plenty things that are difficult there. The health, nutrition education is improving and they're stable enough and generating their own government revenue enough that

1:50:25 it's very likely that 20 years from now, people will be dramatically better off. And it's kind of a laboratory to try things that then when you prove them out in India you can take other places and so our biggest non-US office for the foundation is in India and then most number pilot rollout things we're doing anywhere in the world are with partners India, you know if you go there and you've never been in my thing. Whoa this is a chaotic place And you know You're not used to so many levels of income all being on the street at the same time But you will get a sense of the vibrancy It's a lab he just says it yeah, that's our lab. That's where we got all our people working there. He's great ha

1:51:14 Of course, the Indians didn't like it so much. Billionaire Bill Gates' recent admission in a podcast hasn't gone down well with Indians The tech mogul called India a kind of laboratory to try things as he talked about health and nutrition on the podcast Now his remark has left many fuming with people calling him out for his comment People took to social media to slam Bill Gates for referring to Indians as guinea pigs Some even went to the extent of asking him to stay out of India Now, this backlash also revived the 2009 controversy which involved an NGO funded by The Gates Foundation. The clinical trials of the human papillomavirus or the HPV virus vaccine by NGO PATH on thousands of tribal girls in India had led to seven deaths

1:52:00 That time, the cause of the deaths was attributed to unknown reasons. Months later, investigations revealed that there was misrepresentation of facts lack of informed consent and exploitation. If I were Bill Gates, I'd stay away from any Starbucks anybody with a hoodie in a backpack Yeah, Bill has always been a... Ever since he got pied which was some years ago. He was pretty lax about his security. He wasn't around to take buses. Yeah, he never played fly coach. Well the coach thing is interesting that's what he always said

1:52:38 I caught him once. In first class? Yes, because he buys coach tickets and he says don't you know who i am He doesn't even have to do that they put him in first class so I grilled them about this... he knows me So I said what are you doing here? I thought you always fly for I thought you'd be back and coach with me He says, well you know they make me come up here. They put me in first class because of... But he's always in first class. As soon as Bill Gates buys a coach ticket so what he manages to do is get a coach ticket and end up in first class every time. The question on everybody's mind... Now he flies in his G4 or whatever he's got because when he got married to Melinda, Melissa Melinda. Belinda

1:53:29 He she insisted I did get a jet and so he relented and now he doesn't fly on commercial at all The question on everyone's mind is what were you doing in first class? I was into coach. I was walking down the aisle And there he was Hey, hey come back with me what are you doing and you were holding up the line oh Were you talking to Bill? I don't hold up lines. I'm a very good flyer about that sort of thing Did you have a backpack and turn it right into his face? Yeah, bang people around with the backpack!

I have a Breville cappuccino maker which makes single cups and i have used that device before because other people have them and I've used it so it makes a terrific cup of coffee far better than the cafe filtra and the stuff that you like

1:58:01 What? I don't use filter. I use the French press. The French press is much better, French press to me...I don't mind it with the right exact right beans but French press can produce a very bitter cup of coffee. Ah well this won't. My gigawatt tastes just perfect. That was from Sir Scovey, Sir Scovey at the Piedmont He sent a very nice long... What kind of paper is that? That's an interesting paper that he typed on. I've never seen this paper before. Yes, it is silver paper and it was like... I think it's some sort of old computer and is thick. Yeah, very thick. Very thick. Uh yeah it was very peculiar. I think it was some sort of old kind... paper that goes way back for some sort of special printer? Hmm that was kind of interesting and I also wanted to say hello to Daniel Walker Parker who is in McLennan County Gulag in Waco then he sent in a whole bunch of forever stamps He hopes that will be value for value So I will keep them for us

1:59:01 It seems like he might be there for a bit. He sends an interesting note, it's always interesting to get something from the penitentiary and then we need to send out prayers and karma to Dame Astrid I don't know if you saw that note this morning? Oh yeah! I heard about last night when i was talking to Jay she is in Japan they were gonna meet but can't now because Astrid broke her leg Yes she fell and managed to break the ball off of top of her femur Which just sounds horrible. Don't even discuss it! But she's in good hands... I know she had to have an operation and immediately thought it was a compound fracture, that's the kind of fracture where-I think is compound? That where the bone goes through the skin and sticks out? No, I hope not Anyway, uh, she already had a new joint fitted

1:59:51 Gotta love Japanese efficiency. All right, so precious is a Chinese efficiency in this case No, no day mark of date sir Mark is in She was in Hong Kong and she that's where she broke her leg I don't think so I think now I think he went to Hong Kong to receive another award You know, I gotta pick up another award at Hong Kong. So sorry Oh Can't be with you Astrid, I'm picking up an award. Yeah so we're all thinking of her and thank you to Jeremy and his daughter Taylor who came through Fredericksburg he's the guy that's sending you a computer and some community coffee yes yeah yes i'm looking forward to that yeah So it was very nice if you're in Fredericksburg let me know if I can work it out

2:16:59 We got a few things I think we should at least talk about the French government failing. Yes, massive fail. I had a...I'm sure you have clips? I think I had like a BBC clip that was pretty decent but let's just what do you have these are from I think well these either NPR or NTD French government fails one. France's parliament today voted on a no-confidence motion against the government I'm guessing NTD, it was just a guess According to the French constitution President Emmanuel Macron will need to appoint a new prime minister and form a new government

2:17:50 This is a situation not seen in 62 years in the country, and it marks the first time in history. The National Rally has joined the leftist coalition in a no-confidence vote against the government. For many members of parliament this is an historic day. The Prime Minister has over-dramatized, hoping to extend his mandate. I think that as the President of the National Assembly said we must also respect our institutions. Alternative ways exist it's not written in the Constitution for nothing. The program of the left wing coalition I support should be the basis for discussion As there is no majority in Parliament will have to make concessions so that the different political groups move towards each other

2:18:33 Prime Minister Michel Barnier, a member of Macron's group in Parliament warned that France could face significant instability. The government which began its mandate in September after snap elections in June has become the shortest serving administration in French history. There won't be a shutdown or any chaos. French President Emmanuel Macron said it And even if I'm not from his groups, I agree with him. According to national rally member Philippe Ballard, the sharp rise in planned taxes made the no-confidence vote unavoidable. The budget was 40 billion in subcommentary taxes so it's unacceptable and since the budget will be abandoned retirement pensions won't be decreased electricity taxes wont go up and some medicines will continue to be reimbursed that's why we voted to dismiss the government It was both sides everybody hated this guy

2:19:36 Yeah. Everybody's like, you're no good! You're no good... There's a second part to this? Yeah, I see what that is. Yeah, I think the BBC report is better because they get more into the weeds and it's a little clearer than NTD who've taken to putting a sock over their microphone for some reason.

2:20:19 Now what happened there? Here's BBC. French politicians have ousted the government in a no-confidence vote, leaving the prospect of months of turmoil in France. Michel Barnier is the first French Prime Minister to be dismissed this way since 1962. Opposition parties called the vote after Mr Barnier used special powers to force through controversial social security reforms In the no-confidence debate, the far right leader Marine Le Pen said the minority government had refused to make sufficient budget concessions to avoid a crisis. She said Mr Barnier's budget would impose suffering on the French people

2:20:59 This budget takes French people hostage and most especially the most vulnerable. The poorer pensioners, people with illness, impoverished workers... French people considered too rich to receive aid but not poor enough to escape a hammering from the taxman. The French Budget Minister Laurent Saint-Martin challenged those MPs who'd opposed the budget Do you want to deprive New Caledonia of a billion euros of credits? Do you want to prevent the financing of OPEX? Do you want to prevent support for Ukraine? Yes. Do you really want to prevent the payment of the disabled adult allowance, say it frankly and thank you to all people who are here who take their responsibilities seriously

2:21:49 The French president Emmanuel Macron is likely to keep Mr Barnier as a caretaker prime minister while he seeks a replacement acceptable to a deeply divided parliament. They're broke, that's basically it! They're broke they got no money and they want austerity I'm sure it was IMF related you gotta like screw the old people That's what you typically do. South Korea, we got a Boots on the Ground from South Korea? Did you see that come in? Yeah I did... I don't remember it up there. I have it here. Timeline of events this is very succinct and its very specific about what this was really about because... You want to play the clips first and then we can play the boots on the ground? You have clips?! Oh boy! How many do you have? Two Okay

2:22:42 Are they of that same... is it NTD? The court, well South Korea's gotta be. South Korea is reeling after its president declared martial law although the order was later lifted amid widespread condemnation the move plunged the country's political landscape into chaos. South Korean defense minister as well as Yoon senior policy advisors offered to resign following the unrest Six South Korean opposition parties submitted bills of impeachment for President Yoon Suk-hyo on Wednesday That came after Yun's sudden move imposing martial law the night before. In an address, he had claimed there were anti-state forces among his opponents but after Parliament unanimously rejected his decree hours later Yun backed down

2:23:25 A vote on his impeachment is expected within the coming days. It would pass in South Korea's National Assembly if two-thirds of lawmakers support the bill, and that would then lead to a trial held by South Korea's Constitutional Court. On Wednesday morning the country's National Assembly building bore scars of violence the night before boxes chairs piled up as barricades Security camera footage released Wednesday gave a better view of events the night before. Soldiers tasked with imposing martial law landing on the sports pitch near Parliament, before smashing the building's windows and clashing with parliamentary aides

2:24:01 It all marks South Korea's biggest political crisis in decades, and the first time martial law has been declared since 1980 before it became a democracy. Yoon, a career prosecutor had been very unpopular with the South Korean public He's faced discontent over his economic policy scandals and other controversies Should Yoon resign or be removed from office, Prime Minister Han Deok-su would fill in as leader until a new election is held. Well, actually you can read it now because I don't think the second clip adds anything. No probably won't so the timeline of events on December 3rd President Yun Now he's just the president but the parliament is opposition His opposition is the majority So he does... He's kind of a lame duck president I guess On December third Yun no? Lame duck specifically refers to somebody who has just been voted out and hasn't been voted out

2:25:02 Okay, he's ineffective. He got no power! He got no juice except for this... So December 3rd, Yoon gave a State of the Union speech on TV. He discussed the threats to democracy and accused the left of destroying the nation 1028 p.m he declares martial law at the end of his speech. 1030 the 707th special mission group about 300 in number raided the National Election Commission building they confiscated servers and phones and left after three hours 12 a.m., some soldiers go to the National Assembly building and they loiter around but don't even block any politicians from going into the assembly building, the opposition party voted to lift the martial law President Yoon lifted the martial law after only six hours it seems like the whole thing was just to raid the national election commission because there is talk of election fraud

2:26:01 So, the whole thing was a smoke screen according to our boots on the ground. Just to break in and get all the details and get the information everything else is window dressing. It's like Watergate! Yes only not secret so I would say the 707th Special Mission Group in Korea is elite special forces unit specializing in black ops counterterrorism special ops reconnaissance high-risk intelligence gathering etc The left has been accused of using fake, here it comes mail-in ballots and hacking voting machines to win elections similar to what happened in the US. Earlier this year in 2024 the left wing party surprised everybody with a huge victory and won the majority of seats okay well I wonder if its Dominion's?

2:26:53 We appreciate that good good report. That's a lot better than anyone else gave us Something interesting as opposed to there's no It it's at least something interesting as opposed to well this doesn't make any sense exactly Exactly which is the reports? Well, let's talk about the NDAA which has got get yeah I got these down as WTF clips so they just something fishy in these clips is about the reauthorization of the National Defense Authorization Act. The money! It's a trillion dollar boom boggle we do every single year, sometimes we slip something in like

2:27:32 The Smith Modernization Act, sometimes it's just money. The National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2025 is the bill that sets the spending priorities for the national defense programs of the Department of Defense and the nuclear weapons programs within the Department of Energy now the House of Representatives passed its version of the NDA back in June with only Republican support and the Senate Armed Services Committee also passed its version with broad bipartisan support back in June Our colleagues on the Armed Services Committee completed their work on the NDAA back in June and they did it with bipartisan support. Is this guy still alive, Mitch McConnell? Isn't he on the fritz? I saw him freeze up again the other day! He froze up three times in the last couple of weeks

2:28:22 But yet here he is, doing important work of helping us pass the trillion dollar budget. So nice! They handed the legislation off to the Donald Craig leader with months to spare The number one highlight of product is what the chairman mentioned Is the focus on quality of life for our service members and their families Oh I'm sure that's the number one priority in that thousand pages of bill. And certainly one of the biggest issues was pay for junior enlisted we upped that pay by 19.5 percent it is expected that later this week congressional leaders will unveil their agreement for the NDA for fiscal year 2025 and it's also expected that a slew of nearly 70 bills

2:29:03 that have already passed on the House floor and are meant to counter the malign influence of the Chinese Communist Party worldwide will be attached to the NDAA for fiscal year 2025. not realizing that there's concentration camps in China where they forcibly harvest. They take, they cut out the organs of the people that they're incarcerating. Yes we want to say something this is unacceptable you must stop it! You must be held accountable for these atrocities That was Republican Congressman Scott Perry from Pennsylvania discussing the Falun Gong Protection Act, a bill that is expected to be attached to this year's National Defense Authorization Act alongside the Biosecure Act and other bills designed to counter China in the realms of AI military capabilities and critical infrastructure. Ramping it up baby! Getting it ready! And what does WTF come from?

2:29:58 Falun Gong Protection Act? Yeah, we have to protect them because they're the good guys. They're against our mortal enemies! Our new enemy China! Where does Falun Gong hang out besides New York? Are they in Taiwan by any chance? I don't know them to be in Taiwan this mostly...I don't know what you will it's just a strange operation. So I'm watching this show, The Agency. And there was a show a few years ago called Berlin Station which was about CIA operation in the middle of Berlin and the agency is about a CIA station in the middle of London and they go in there's a million people working in there it's like oh geez what are they all doing? And so that I'm thinking when I'm watching this wait a minute

2:30:57 Don't we make a huge fuss about the quote-unquote Chinese police stations? Yes, that are in New York and elsewhere which are probably not police. I mean they're there the same thing what's the difference between us having a CIA station in the middle of Berlin or and all around the world And the Chinese doing the same thing I would like to know I don't know That's a good question You should do some research. I'm not going to do any research! I want somebody out there listening to this show who knows, you know that's the thing about this show is that you can do that. Listen to this The Falun Gong Protection Act This bill requires the President to impose visa and property blocking sanctions on foreign persons that are knowingly responsible for or complicit in or have engaged in the involuntary harvesting of organs in China

2:31:57 The sanction shall not apply to certain activities such as authorized U.S intelligence or law enforcement activities, so we can harvest no problem." I didn't read it that way but yeah i guess so! That's what I'm reading! All right part two... Well that sounds like some marketing July of this year the bipartisan commission on the national defense strategy published its final report Commission finds that in many ways China is outpacing United States and has largely negated the US military advantage in the Western Pacific through two decades of focused military investment behind National Defense Authorization Act of fiscal year 2025 will authorize the spending of nearly 1 trillion dollars in government spending from Washington DC. We sell a little Martinez

2:32:47 NTV News. Okay, I'm going to spend a couple of days looking through all the Chinese parts of that because this is going to come into play during Trump's first year This money is already set it's big beautiful ships It's going to be space stuff we're behind you just heard it We're behind people That's what we had to pass this quick Because we're behind were behind the Chinese and if that wasn't bad enough The Chinese are everywhere now New details tonight on what's being called one of the worst cyber hacks in history with federal officials revealing They've been investigating China for months after hackers compromised the networks of multiple US communications companies And may still be lurking in the systems of at least six

2:33:28 some of them. FBI and federal cybersecurity officials say these Chinese government affiliated hackers managed to steal records, intercept some voice calls even penetrate the wiretap system used by the Justice Department to investigate people suspected of crimes or spying. Officials say most of the private communication intercepted by the hackers involved people affiliated with the government or politics but the access to companies like Verizon and AT&T means that communications have nearly Every American are vulnerable and now a new warning. Here we go! Be careful what you communicate and use encrypted communication when you can think signal, whatsapp or iMessage Use the stuff that we have access to Those blue text bubbles sign what your saying is protected Oh oh oh he did a blue bubble green bubbles no good Is it working like that overkill in your view?

2:34:21 I think it's a good standard hygiene practice for operating in todays modern technology environment. You have to be really mindful again about the technology you're using, how it is secured. The culprits officials say a group called Salt typhoon allegedly behind the hacks of the Trump and Harris campaigns before the election. Officials even now still trying to understand the scale, scope and timeline of this hack. We have to understand that the digital connectivity that we all rely on, that we benefit from economically can also be used against us

2:34:56 Now, the coincidence of this in this next clip is not lost on me. We talked about this on the last show that I was having trouble with a new iPhones with my Android-based phone with text messaging. Text messages wouldn't show up And, you know I and it was reproducible sometimes which doesn't really kind of not the definition of reproducible but it would happen frequently only with people who use iMessage and the brand new iPhones with my S22 cat Android Go based bubble flip phone green bubble flip phone.

2:35:36 So then there's this warning which is a follow-on to that. Cross-platform texts can be intercepted by hackers. Apple's version of RCS, Rich Communication Services, a messaging upgrade doesn't have end to end encryption for these texts yet To keep your chats safe use encrypted apps like WhatsApp or Telegram These apps encrypt your messages, making them unreadable to hackers even if intercepted. WhatsApp uses end-to-end encryption by default ensuring only you and the recipient can read the messages. Telegram offers secret chats with added privacy features like self destructing messages

2:36:30 Both apps prioritize security making them harder for hackers to access compared to standard text messages between iOS and Android devices And if your friend refuses to switch just say do it for our safety or I'll stop texting you sometimes Security means tough love Sometimes security means tough love. Okay, Fed! What kind of tough lo- Well let me stop for a minute and give it one piece of thought here So I'm texting you about... We're gonna start the show at 11 o'clock because I have to go get... Just something like that

2:37:13 But I should you should say to me no, no Don't be texting me stuff like that. That's kind of Important information like I'll meet you at three Because of the tough love thing here What are they talking about is everybody'd like a bunch of spooks out there that they have to protect every stupid message and say oh Hi honey How you doing? Oh, I have missed you. Missed you, missed you, missed you. You better secure that! Okay here's what i think is going on So if you text between an Android phone and an iMessage it goes through the short messaging system cell phone based network That requires warrants It's a pain in the butt You gotta get into this system You gotta call the guy Gotta file some forms

2:38:03 If it's Telegram or WhatsApp, that's much easier. I'm pretty sure they're in those systems you know that's why they're recommending it now you heard RCS is the new standard that Europe forced Apple to comply so that We both have all the awesome features of iMessage, which is like, oh I can see when someone's typing. I can see if someone read the message. Yeah that's not new No but to do it between Android phones and iPhones The European Union forced Apple to move to this RCS standard

2:38:50 The RCS standard is something that is registered and goes through again your cell phone network. They don't want you using it Oh, that's insecure by the way you can totally encrypt on both sides. Oh, that's not good The Chinese might read about your 3 p.m appointment they want you to continue to use whatsapp and all these other systems That don't use this SMS text messaging system. It screams that to me These are the feds. I don't use any of these things, you know i use very simple stuff and it's what it sounds like to me too they yeah why is that they just promote from why are they promoting whatsapp to such an extreme unless it's compromised? It's facebook! It has to be compromised yes And telegram or if we know about that Pavel said all right well you know

2:39:42 We'll be on the lookout for people who are up to no good. We'll help you out there." They arrested the guy! Yeah, they did And Signal... well, the lady now at NPR used to run Signal so I'm sorry, I don't trust any of these systems Not for anything secure I use PGP encryption on my email Works with ProtonMail by the way Out-of-the box But yeah, yeah, I dunno man, I dunno Umm..I have one more thing here Yeah, actually two things. So this story about the stowaway who wanted to go to France... You heard about this? The lady who snuck onto a Delta flight? I think it was Delta flight. I have no knowledge of this. Oh and then she was

2:40:36 And then, you know they're gonna ship her back and she's screaming like I don't want to go back to America. I'm like what is this story just kept coming back kept coming back at coming back? And of course what's interesting is why does this Russian lady who has a US visa not want to be in America She snuck onto a flight I guess she has no money because she wanted to request asylum in France and France went, non! We have enough problems here. And they sent her back so finally the story starts unfolding like oh maybe this is what it's about listen to this report new video of a suspected stowaway on her way to france from New York's JFK International Airport

2:41:21 The footage showing a Delta crew member questioning the woman after she allegedly snuck onto the plane last week without a ticket. She took 10 minutes to just tumble her bags to find me boarding pass which she did not have at all. She allegedly went through security at JFK but never showed ID and boarded without a ticket. Passengers say she tried to avoid detection on the full flight by going from one bathroom The woman is a Russian national and legal resident of the US. According to French authorities, she was not admitted into French territory due to lack of valid travel document or visa and placed in waiting area for her release.

2:42:04 since she had a valid U.S. Days later, officials st to send her back to the flight. She got belligeren came in to try to restra when everything started t was removed from the fli in France. The big question is how did she allegedly go through security at JFK without showing ID and boarded without a ticket? TSA is preparing a civil case against the woman and Delta Airlines is investigating it is unclear if she will face any charges so it was that end bit where they say the big question, the big question is how does she get out of the airplane no

2:42:49 My question is, what is this woman about? Why didn't she just buy a ticket? Why does she want to request asylum?" But no. The big question is how did she get on and then I remembered that I had a report from November 22nd A bipartisan group of 12 senators has urged the TSA inspector general To investigate the agency's use of facial recognition which has been rampant every single airport in America that I've been to and have been to a few. But everyone I've spoken to, it's all facial recognition. And it says well you don't have to do this this is just a test but meanwhile everyone's like whatever I'm good I'm doing the facial recognition so there's this bipartisan group of 12 senators some heavy hitters in their crews of course but you know some Elizabeth Warren and they don't want it they want this to stop and I think that this is a setup for them to say well you know this lady snuck onto the plane he could have done anything we need facial recognition

2:43:50 I think that's what you see come out of this. That's an interesting thesis. That's what i think is coming out of this, and it really is such an invasion that they just throw this stuff up and you know they say oh you can opt out if you want to stand over here...that's how it goes now Oh! You don't want do facial recognition? Stand over here and they make you wait It's just like the naked body scanner same thing And in my final clip is from a compatriot, from a colleague of mine who was against the artificial intelligence hype. And he does the primetime podcast and he made such a good point on his podcast about artificial intelligence that I wanted to share it with the group. Here me out here!

2:44:39 These AIs were really that great. They're so great that they actually were a GI, they're able to learn and they're able to grow better as Sam Altman once said we're only a couple thousand days away from it bitch That's like 10 years anyways also That's a crazy way to say that who describes time windows in days like oh yeah It's just it's just like 3600 days away ten years you can just say ten years and no one's upset at you Samuel It's strange. But anyways, but even if these companies do produce something that actually can really produce good code you just got to understand something why would a company sell a product that can build anything? Why wouldn't they just harbor those trade secrets and build everything right like

2:45:25 Why would you sell the infinite intelligence tool? Think about it for a couple, it makes no sense. Like you would be able to compete with every product and start company after company after company after company over and over again having super AI would be the most valuable thing in the universe so why ever would they just simply sell it They wouldn't because they'd be able to make everything I love that I do too. Yeah, why wouldn't you just keep it if it's so good at coding and you can create every single product? Just just put in some stuff there. Give me a new give me news spreadsheet program it would be great yeah, yeah And you could tell not to copy any of the other code that that's already been used so they can't get sued What do you mean? It's all copies Well I mean there are certain what are you eating? I'm sorry. I'm having a lodgers night. We're gonna be at you want me to cough well you do it just asking

2:46:25 I didn't know, what are you eating? Now i have to snap. You made me snap! Okay boom, I was looking for that one good one No, I think your completely correct here this is or that guy is yeah new but this theory yes That's you know uh...I don't want to use a uh... I wanna use Facebook make me a facebook I love that guy. He's make me a you know, yeah, well it does art Yeah Really? Well to not God's art like you say oh there it is. No, I didn't

2:59:23 Yeah, baby like a big party all right John super today is coming up and by the way I mentioned something else brunetti had to say He said that you left out hookers in below and rent boys in Chardonnay on the last nighting and he Thinks that you'd got you're going to change it for good. No, I'm did I really miss that? Well he claims Hmm. He says what good is being a knight? I well ice I certainly wouldn't have left it out on purpose and I think I've been adding Cigars and prostitutes in fact as an addition since they hear that yeah, I've been doing that for the past couple of shows I will I will double check on this. That's

3:00:24 Any other notes? Any other notes from the producers? Any other notes from the suits? Can't eat, right?! I mean we do a podcast so we don't have to do that. Now he gets brunetti Donates twice in his life and now he thinks he can say something just because you let him drive the fire engine Yeah well... You know it was signed off on it Screw this Hollywood douche What's he trying to do us He is trying rip us apart He's turned into a suit. He is a suit! He's got a cyber truck and a suit, enough said

3:01:03 All right, Brunetti. Email me. How about a bonus clip? Oh you got a bonus clip okay yeah that's always fun it's under TPK but I should say talk this is this was TA... I talk yes i talk oh boy! This is lesbian Joe Pesci and the reason it's called this is because this woman is wearing a white shirt wait a minute did talking about brunetti make you come up with this No, I'm going over the list here. And they had them and saw it and I said well you should get this out of the way because people love these talk clips Yes, yes they encourage you miss they do this is the yesterday Encourage me that's exactly what they do yeah And you hate it so I know that you can't I can tell So this is a woman a woman who's at?

3:01:51 Who looks like Joe Pesci is the reason that was called that name and she's gonna rest. She's ranting against you, you maggot nuts! This is a message for any MAGA cultist that knows me That is in my family That used to be and I mean used to be my friend if you are MAGA Cultist If you follow and or support The orange shit turd. I want no part of you, i don't care if you are my niece My nephew, my cousin, my siblings, my parents, my kids...I dont care who you are If you support this clown we're not friends We're not family any longer

3:02:44 because you just supported someone against my rights and the rights of people that I love. If i work with you, I have to be professional and I have to speak with you professionally at work so that I don't lose my job however make no mistake if you support him I will never be your friend we would never be friends out of work And I will never respect you. That's all I have to say." Now, is... You play this because you think this is funny? I think it's pathetic! It makes me very sad But I'd like to know-it's always about me, me, me. It's like, you voted for him against ME and my rights

3:03:39 Where are they getting this? You had this earlier in the show you had this rundown of these complaints and I don't think it was emphasized enough about these people taking this personally as somehow their rights are being attacked. And if you voted for Trump, you voted against them personally. Our university system our entire education system and whoever has been meddling...our pharmaceutical system whoever's been meddling inside the brains of people through social media have created a massive group of people with narcissistic personality disorder because that's what this is. And to add to that, when you accuse someone of being a narcissist which these people have accused Trump of being then there's a pretty good chance that you're accusing someone of that of what you are yourself These are narcissists It is now a mental disease and these people need a hug they need to be loved

3:04:43 And not excoriated. Well, I think that's very magnanimous of you. Magnanimous? What does that mean in this context? It means you're a good guy! Yeah... I don't want to... Personally... I'm not hugging these people, that's for sure. Maybe if i'd seen the Joe Pesci look... ...I would have thought differently about it but this is why I don't like these clips because you can see these people! Ah, you admit it, you don't like the clips? You heard that people?!

3:05:20 Send him a note. Adamacurry.com We want more clips! I'm gonna have Brunetti send the note to you, John, um... I really don't think that these TikTok clips are any good because we can't see them so we don't get all the context after you've seen them anyway I can explain the context, I can explain. So what time did Brunetti send out the Zoom call invite so we all get on the call at the same time for us to berate us about how we're doing this show? For the meeting? Post-mortem meeting! Alright what are your ISO's? Okay, what do you got? I'll play mine. I have two these old guys who say something stupid. Uh huh, that's us and here like well it was in a podcast. I can't even understand that okay alright so i have two that are pretty clear i think okay all right start with free and it's free
