About this episode

A viral video claiming a loose Ukrainian nuclear weapon is behind recent drone sightings has triggered widespread hysteria across New Jersey and Pennsylvania. White House spokesperson John Kirby countered these rumors by identifying the lights as lawful manned aircraft, yet Senator Andy Kim and former Governor Larry Hogan maintain they witnessed dozens of large, unidentified craft. This public anxiety coincides with the House passing the $895 billion National Defense Authorization Act, which includes H.R. 8610 to ban DJI drones from United States airspace.

Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt is currently developing White Stork, a stealth military project focused on mass-producing five-hundred-dollar AI drones capable of destroying multi-million dollar tanks. In Syria, the fifty-year rule of the Assad family ended as Bashar al-Assad fled to Russia, leaving the transitional government in the hands of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham. Meanwhile, President Joe Biden granted clemency to three Chinese nationals, including two convicted spies, as part of a prisoner swap for Americans Mark Swyden, Kai Li, and John Leung. On the domestic front, Ontario Premier Doug Ford threatened to terminate energy exports to New York and Michigan in response to Donald Trump’s proposed trade tariffs.

ABC News and George Stephanopoulos reached a fifteen-million-dollar settlement with Donald Trump over false claims regarding the E. Jean Carroll verdict. In the medical world, Moderna halted its mRNA RSV vaccine trial for children after data showed vaccinated subjects were three times more likely to suffer severe illness than the placebo group. Archduchess Kim led the executive producer donations this week with a contribution of over twenty-seven hundred dollars, reminding everyone that cooking bacon while naked is a significant safety hazard.

Drone Sightings, Loose Nuke Rumors, Law of Large Numbers

A viral nine-minute video featuring a self-proclaimed drone expert has sparked rumors of a "loose nuke" from Ukraine being sought by military drones in the United States. This hysteria is attributed to the law of large numbers, where increased public observation leads to misinterpreting common aerial lights as covert military operations.

00:00 Don't cook bacon naked! Bells, blue beams and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region Number 6. In the morning everybody I'm Adam Curry. We're at the northern Silicon Valley where we've discovered that the drones are looking for dirty bombs! Dirty bombs! I'm John C. Dvorak. Oh man, did you see the video of that guy? The nine minute video. Yes I have standing. I am a domain expert. Domain expert! I make drones for the US military and some guy told me

00:52 I was gonna... Right! I have standing but some guy told me. Yes and he's high very high up, very high up and but he's been trying to get everyone to know that there's a loose nuke, a loose nuke it came from Ukraine it's in the US and they're looking forward at night And I'm like, you know the network... Looking for it at night because it glows in the dark. This is exactly what we were talking about on the last episode this is the law of large numbers that work! It works perfectly! You launch something in there, you just let it go maybe a fly, some military drone or two. Let's make sure they all have flashing lights so we know that they're covert and searching for something very secretively." And then all of America suddenly... They never look up to the sky! Now hey there's a lot going on in the sky I didn't know that oh my god it must be under attack in must be drones what's happening?

01:51 It's like people don't look up, they're always looking down on their phones. For the first time! America and New Jersey... my old state They're looking in the sky Oh man there is a lot going on there Yeah Including a whole bunch of whack jobs who are flying their drones to get on the local news This is great I love it And I want to finalize this today. Can we finalize it? Can I get a witness, can I finalize this? It won't happen Oh yeah no it's happening but first No they're gonna keep this bull crap up for another week He is using too many news cycles They are loving it Another week and I'll give you another week But let me just roll through a couple clips here then we will lock it all down I wanna make a point except for the one or two second half of show clip that I have

02:41 But I want you to note, if you look at my rundown. There's no drone clips whatsoever and I appreciate that And I did have the one I was thinking of using which is Mayorkas A real doofus coming out saying No everyone is imagining it! You should've gotten that one Oh yeah he goes...I'll tell ya what he says I don't have the Mayorkas one Mayorkas comes out and talks for 10 minutes and everything he says No, there's nothing going on. People are seeing like an airplane in there and five people reported it so it was five reports of different drones and its all imagined nobody...there is nothing to see here period! It's great this wasn't up and I'm going to explain it and then I'm just going to bring closure to what we talked about on the last episode everybody can calm down

CHAPTER 02 / 45 Discussion

John Kirby, Federal Response to New Jersey Drone Sightings

White House spokesperson John Kirby addressed reported drone sightings in New Jersey, stating that many are actually lawfully operated manned aircraft. Kirby emphasized that no foreign involvement or malicious activity has been confirmed and noted that no drones have entered restricted airspace.

john kirby· pentagon· new jersey· drones· restricted airspace

03:32 And then yeah, we'll give him another week of this nonsense and we'll be on to something else. You've already forgotten about hot Luigi Mean how disappointing is that a little weed or Luigi all right first There's nothing like getting a borough president from Staten Island all angry I mean, it's just funny now We've reported on these drone concerns in New Jersey some experts have said the sightings could very well be lawfully manned aircrafts today We're hearing from officials on Staten Island about the same topic take a listen You know, there's a saying that we had after 9-11. If you see something say something I think that's become if you see something don't worry about it. Don't worry about it! Because we saw it too. Forget about it and the people of Staten Island deserve answers The people this city and state region deserve answers on what the heck is going on? So we've heard from

04:26 So the best part of this operation is John Kirby. Who is, you know he's the rear admiral. He's a spokeshole for the White House Pentagon. He's a spokeshole for everything and this is the best because he just does this with a stone cold face it impressive I think you should win an Academy Award for this Upon review of available imagery It appears that many of their reported sightings are actually manned aircraft that are being operated lawfully

05:14 The United States Coast Guard is providing support to the state of New Jersey and has confirmed that there is no evidence of any foreign-based involvement. No evidence? From coastal vessels Exactly, no evidence! And importantly there are no reported or confirmed drone sightings in any restricted airspace That's it Well wait a minute Yes That was a tricky one He's good, I'm telling you he is good. He said there was no reported drone sightings in any restricted areas which is only a very limited number of places In other words there could be drones all over the place Yes but not in restricted places like over the presence But the way that does it passes as though they are over and there are no drones Oh this is carefully scripted oh he knows what he is doing Yeah an academy award you're right An Emmy at least Based involvement from coastal vessels

06:04 And importantly, there are no reported or confirmed drone sightings in any restricted airspace. That said we certainly take seriously the threat that can be posed by unmanned aircraft systems which is why law enforcement and other agencies continue to support New Jersey and investigate the reports even though they have uncovered no malicious activity or intent at this particular stage While there is no known malicious activity occurring, the reported sightings there do however highlight a gap in authorities. And so we urge Congress to pass important legislation that will extend and expand existing counter-drone authorities... By the way stop! Yes yes yes

06:44 It's almost word for word the same message from Majorca. Of course, because this is a script and let's just we'll get to it I have a sequence we're going to set it up hammer at home and then we can let the M5M drone on ha ha pun intended for the next week or so but its ending And so we urge Congress to pass important legislation that will extend and expand existing counter-drone authorities So that we are better prepared to identify mitigate any potential threats to airports or other critical infrastructure and so that state and local authorities are provided all the tools that they need to respond to such threats as well. There you go, okay! So he said everything perfectly, he hasn't lied about anything, he's done a little bit of a setup but we really needed legislation for this

CHAPTER 03 / 45 Discussion

Media Coverage, Politician Reactions to Drone Hysteria

Media outlets like Inside Edition and various politicians are fueling public concern over drone activity in New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. New Jersey Senator Andy Kim and former Maryland Governor Larry Hogan both reported witnessing dozens of large drones near their residences, comparing the atmosphere to the film War of the Worlds.

inside edition· andy kim· larry hogan· staten island· tiktok

07:31 I'm gonna give you inside edition with their report because it brings in a little bit of the hysteria which we actually saw back on the radio with War of The Worlds. You know there's some that going on here. Hello and thanks for joining us! There are increasing demands for the government to share what it knows and what it doesn't know about the mysterious drones that have been hovering over New Jersey this startling photo shows eight in the sky at one time. Studies are now spreading to other states including New York and Pennsylvania, politicians are calling for them to be shot out of the sky. Politicians? No there's a lot of politicians who were coming out and talking more politicians than FBI or law enforcement it's mainly politicians

08:18 There they are, drones. Drone hysteria is ratcheting up. Drone hysteria! Extraordinary new images are emerging today like this time-lapse video from New Jersey purportedly showing drone activity and now they're on the move towards New York City That's a drone A drone can't go that high bro This video posted on TikTok was apparently taken on Staten Island More drone sightings were reported just outside LaGuardia Airport I'm getting multiple calls for drones I have about five to ten zones covering LaGuardia. And still no one knows who launched them People of this city and state, region deserve answers of what the heck is going on? Local lawmakers today are demanding answers One congresswoman says she feels like she's in an alien movie There you go 20 years ago

09:06 They filmed War of the Worlds on Staten Island. And now we feel like we're characters in that movie. What is happening is outrageous." New Jersey Senator Andy Kim says he went out with the state police and personally observed five to seven lights in the sky. Maryland's former governor Larry Hogan says, I personally witnessed and videoed what appeared to be dozens of large drones in the sky above my residence in Davidsonville, Maryland 25 miles from our nation's capital. I observed the activity for approximately 45 minutes." Okay so that's just a little bit of the entertainment angle

CHAPTER 04 / 45 Discussion

Counter UAS Authority, Chinese Drone Ban Legislation

Congressman Chris Smith is drafting legislation to grant local agencies power to investigate drones, while the House passed the $895 billion National Defense Authorization Act. Included in the legislative push is H.R. 8610, the Counter UAS Authority Security, Safety, and Reauthorization Act, which aims to ban Chinese-manufactured drones, specifically DJI products, from U.S. use.

chris smith· dji· china· ndaa· h.r. 8610

09:46 No one ever, what they missed was you know someone should have done a Rudolph angle. They should have done the you know red blinking light it's got to be Santa and his sleigh no one pulled that one in I'm a little disappointed So here is the true setup and this is where the false prophets start to unveil themselves. New Jersey lawmakers and law enforcement agencies are demanding answers from the federal government as alleged drone sightings continue across the area The federal government who just shunned this away is unreasonable, quite frankly unacceptable. New Jersey Congressman Chris Smith says he's now drafting legislation that would give local and state agencies the power to investigate drone activity and also ask the federal government for technology to do so knowing that drone warfare has radically changed war fighting in Ukraine and Russia, the Middle East and elsewhere

10:41 This is not the time to trivialize or dismiss the threat. As the concerned calls of sightings continue, The Ocean County Sheriff's Department has been using its drone to investigate. The sheriff says the drone has captured several concerning encounters including one allegedly flying at what seems like 60 miles an hour. Super fast! Some traveling in groups of dozens She reports that she saw 50 drones coming from the ocean to the mainland transversing the airwaves over Island Beach State Park, going down towards the Portagot Light and coming to the seaside area. Meantime in New York, Stewart Airport in Orange County was closed for about an hour Friday night due to a drone sighting Governor Kathy Hochul is urging Congress to give power to state and local agencies She said quote until those powers are granted to state and local officials

11:32 The Biden administration must step in, in directing additional federal law enforcement to New York and the surrounding region to ensure the safety of our critical infrastructure and our people. Senior administration officials said Saturday there have been 5,000 tips reported to the FBI regarding drones. Of them less than 100 required further investigation. And while federal officials maintain there is no obvious threat they admit that there are unidentified drones overhead in New Jersey. You know the false profits buy their fruits. Here it is! Congress has just eight days until government funding is set to run out next Friday December 20th, is the deadline to get a spending measure passed meanwhile progress is being made on the annual defense bill Mike Gooding has the latest The House passed the 895 billion dollar National Defense Authorization Act on Wednesday on a bipartisan 281-140 vote

12:33 The NDAA includes a 14.5% pay raise for junior enlisted service members and 4.5% hike for all other members the most contentious provision was restriction on the use of TRICARE funds for gender affirming care for children 18 years and younger of service members local Democrats Bobby Scott and Jennifer McClellan opposed that part of the bill but still voted yes to the overall measure. Joining local Republicans Jen Kiggins and Rob Whitman. So this whole the whole transgender thing, that's what they had really thrown out there to make this not happen but in this was the very controversial H.R 8610 counter UAS authority security safety and reauthorization act

13:21 That's what this was about. This gives local law enforcement the power to police drones and most importantly as I read the bill, it just passed literally passed the bill where they will be able to outlaw drones from China. This was a very controversial bill because the drone lobby is not small and very vocal it includes police departments in includes film, it's every single aspect of society is using drones commercial drones and now they will have to buy drones from US manufacturers. Can I read the note from Joel? Yeah please do

CHAPTER 05 / 45 Discussion

DJI Drone Ban, Impact on Law Enforcement and Media

A commercial drone pilot and an anonymous police officer expressed concern over the potential FCC ban on DJI drones, noting that American alternatives are significantly more expensive and less capable. Critics argue the recent drone hysteria served as a psychological operation to provide political cover for banning Chinese technology under the guise of national security.

dji· fcc· drone pilots· law enforcement· china

14:03 In the morning, gentlemen I want to say something regarding the drone topic from Thursday. I work at a video production company in Tulsa as the only FAA commercially licensed drone pilot at my job. I've been flying drones for my job for some years now it's important to note that you don't need a license he goes on about the licensing issues but then he brings up this regarding the legislation i've been aware of this bill for a while I'm no bill diver, but it sounds like they're going to outlaw any and all drones that are manufactured in China specifically DJI products. This is disappointing as all the best camera drones are manufactured by DJI. I think a lot of people in this industry would be back to square one with camera drones because it seems like everyone uses DJI

14:56 and most don't build their own drones. I for one hope this bill doesn't pass, we're invested a lot of money in our drone fleet and would prefer to keep using them. I hope this helps." And it gets even worse because It looks like the FCC will ban these DJI drones from using frequencies because of well, you know They're clearly transmitting back all kinds of data. They're shucking up and you know back to China or whatever The nonsense is we got a note from the Baron anonymous cop quick boots on the ground

15:32 Just some background as a cop drone pilot. Did you know he was the drone pilot? Our anonymous bear I know, I know now. He's a ham we know that! He says I don't spend my time checking out girls like John says I do The drones tossed up when looking for dudes jumping fences from stolen cars or helping the fire department find hot spots at house fires That being said, the easiest no hassle and cheapest for public entities to purchase are the Chinese made drones. The typical American-made consumer drone costs one third to double their price. They are attempting to be more competitive but the price and capability of this Chinese product is not matched yet Some lawmakers during discussions about this bill were even going so far as calling it tit talk with wings

16:18 This was a very controversial piece of legislation. And what happened here, this complete psyop with very carefully worded statements from Kirby and Mayorkas was cover for the lawmakers so they wouldn't get heat Well, it's the government not telling us. It's the government! It's the military! These guys... I mean we've got to pass this stuff now because you know who knows? It could be aliens or Chinese that are launching from motherships. Bullcrap and the guy behind this happens to have a big hand in YouTube

Eric Schmidt, White Stork Military Drone Project

Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt is developing a stealth military drone project called White Stork, aimed at creating low-cost AI-driven robots for the battlefield. Schmidt, now a licensed arms dealer, cited the war in Ukraine as the inspiration for his shift toward defense technology and the goal of using $500 drones to destroy multi-million dollar tanks.

eric schmidt· google· white stork· ukraine· arms dealer

16:58 Maybe not directly anymore, but we were on this over a year ago. Today on Forbes Ex-Google CEO Eric Schmidt is working on a secret military drone project Ex Google CEO Eric Schmidt has been quietly plotting a new defense tech effort A stealth military drone project This according to four sources with knowledge of the effort The project's existence has not been previously reported and it has yet to publicly launch. The clandestine project intends to provide an American alternative the Chinese drones, And will develop unmanned aircraft systems specifically to be used on the battlefield two of the sources said three of the sources familiar with Schmitt engagements said the work is influenced by his recent visits to Ukraine

17:45 where the billionaire has made inroads with government officials and military leaders over the past year. Two of these individuals added that Sebastian Thrun, a co-founder of Google's Moonshot Lab is involved with the effort Forbes was unable to determine who other than Thrun is helping with this secretive project So it all comes back... you heard it in the previous... well drones are really important in warfare we saw it in Ukraine with Russia and here's an interview that Eric Schmidt former chairman of Google did, I think it was Stanford talking about his new project. The secret project is called White Stork and it's kind of out in the open now. Let's talk to you about a real war that's going on. I know that something you've been very involved in is the Ukraine War and particular, I don't know how much we can talk about White Stork

18:32 Your goal of having $500 drones destroy 5 million dollar tanks, how's that changing warfare? I worked for the Secretary of Defense for seven years and tried to change the way we run our military. I'm not a particularly big fan of the military but it is very expensive and I wanted to see if I could be helpful And I think in my view, I largely failed. They gave me a medal so they must give medals to failure or whatever. My self-criticism was nothing has really changed and the system in America is not going to lead to real innovation. So watching the Russians

19:11 use tanks to destroy apartment buildings with little old ladies and kids just drove me crazy. So I decided to work on a company with your friend, Sebastian Thrun as a former faculty member here and a whole bunch of Stanford people And the idea basically is to do two things Use AI in complicated powerful ways for these essentially robotic war and the second one is to lower the cost of the robot Now you sit there You go why would a good liberal like me do that? And the answer is that... The whole theory of armies is tanks, artilleries and mortar. and we can eliminate all of them.

20:09 This guy is a mover and shaker in Washington. He, and in fact he's more than that now he's well here he'll tell you himself because I've been doing this for the last year. I've learned a lot about war that I really did not want to know. And one of the things to know about war is that the offense always has the advantage because you can always overwhelm the defensive systems. And so you're better off as a strategy of national defense to have a very strong offense that you can use if you need to And the systems that I and others are building will do that. Because of the way the system works, I am now a licensed arms dealer. So computer scientist businessman arms dealer. Is that a progression? I don't know. I do not recommend this in your career path. Stick with AI. This was complete setup and it worked beautifully everybody jumped right into it because we're looking down at our phones not up in the sky

CHAPTER 07 / 45 Discussion

Local Law Enforcement, Drone Jurisdiction Debate

A debate persists regarding whether local police departments actually desire the authority to regulate drones in their jurisdictions. While some argue the legislation is primarily a move to eliminate Chinese competition like DJI, others suggest that sheriffs and police chiefs want territorial control over the airspace regardless of enforcement capacity.

faa· fcc· dji· local police· jurisdiction

21:07 This is all about Eric Schmidt getting his drones into the military. He is now a licensed arms dealer and okay, I'll give you one more week because it's kind of funny but it's going to end It's all gonna fade away We may get another huge distraction But it's done! It's over! It's past That's what they needed That's what they wanted And if you have a DJI drone You're gonna find yourself out of luck, I think I don't think so You don't modify the drone so there's no way of knowing. You're gonna have a licensed drone, it's gonna... I don't think you can... No! You need these drones for public safety. Anonymous cop said it for what is worth but

21:52 This is so disappointing because Eric Schmidt was, you know he was at Novell and then he was at Google. He's a douche! And he was pretty nice guy who used to be on Silicon Spin quite a few times I know him. A very nice liberal what happened? Yeah but he's a liberal gone rogue now he's basically a munitions maker yeah exactly and how do you go from A to B if your you go from being this borderline pacifist liberal to being an arms dealer. I mean, what makes you do that? Money! He's already a multi-billionaire he's got so many... you know, he is like up there in the top ten because of all the Google stuff You might as well say that about everybody every billionaire Well why would the billionaire want more money That's how it works What do you mean

22:42 I don't know if it's that. There is something, i think its more power than money Okay alright power then...I'll give you power But now you have local cops can say hey show me your papers Is this running on DJI stuff? You watch They're serious about this stuff. is legally supposed to register every drone with the FAA but the enforcement in my experience is nearly non-existent. Right, which is why they... Okay you can give it to local cops aren't going to do anything? No but this..you're missing it all the local cops have been they don't have that's always been FAA this bill now gives local law enforcement the power to go out and harass you with your drone

23:41 They're not gonna do it. We got other things to do, there's too much work! Oh please oh please they love harassing the citizens are you kidding me? I don't think so let's ask the Baron Anonymous cop again about how much How much cops would like the idea of harassing some kids that are flying a drone around the schoolyard? Well, you have a very idealistic view of the world my friend. No I don't! I have a very realistic view of the world people don't like to do extra work They'd like to do fun work they don't want to do actual work It's not fun to harass a bunch of kids over a drone Yeah when everyone is calling the drag kids flying a drone over my house yeah we'll come by and take care of it

24:23 Nobody likes that. These cops don't even like domestic violence reports. All right, well... You know they'll pull somebody over for speeding I think that's about as far as they really want to go a bank robbery Oh God what this is too much? They got it right reports give me a break This is no different from shutting down tik-tok It's all for competition of other technology firms It's the same thing. Well, with that I'm not arguing that point...I'm arguing the point that you think cops want to do more extra work? No! I didn't say that. I said local law enforcement for a long time has been asking for powers to police drones that are flying around in their jurisdictions. Where is the evidence of that statement?! It's in the bill!!

25:09 No, where's the evidence of what you said that local law like my local cops in Albany for example. I just played the clips where they said we the local law enforcement The guys were saying it local law enforcement wants jurisdiction over this it was in the clips I just played It wasn't but not from local law enforcement that wasn't government okay all right no Okay, there wasn't a logon You'd give me a local cop Give me a clip of a police chief saying he wants that. Okay, John alright fine, it's all going to be fine no change necessary this was only for military okay

25:46 That's fine. I didn't say that either, i'm just saying that you have this assumption that local police departments want more work. Local police departments want jurisdiction over drones. That is in the bill! It is a request... Because it's in the bill doesn't mean it's true. Okay all right fine okay Maybe they were just sniffing for nukes, man. It's in the bill people want it they've been calling for this. I think it just goes back to trying to cut off Chinese competition has got nothing to do with local law enforcement or anything else is about DJI and the fact that there that we have people in this country that don't like Chinese competition That's true but I have researched this enough to know that local on may not be the cop on the beat

26:42 But the local law enforcement, the sheriffs, the police chiefs they want whether they do something with it or not. They want to have the power, the territorial law enforcement of drones in their jurisdictions that's very clearly set out and all the arguments have always included this and every single politician was saying it because that's the only way that they could get everybody on board with it Yeah, yeah. So they can screw DJI? Yeah true but I think that there's a lot of drone stuff that cops deal with they would like to just be able and say knock it off shut it down It is a lot going on with drones in the country And so maybe not the cop on the beat I'm sure he doesn't want to deal with any of this nonsense But it's going to happen

27:37 And these sightings and everything is going to die down within a week. Well that I'm not gonna argue with, but this is really just about the Chinese. It's about Chinese competition for sure! For sure...and do you think- well here's the question for the Baron Anonymous cop if he is now forced to for his department to purchase an inferior product A US inferior product as he said in his note over a Chinese drone How do you think he's going to feel about the kids having better stuff? It's going to irk him. But, he'll let us know because he listens." I don't think it's gonna irk him. Oh man! You know a lot about cops. Well...I've worked with a lot of cops over the years Yeah yeah well..you have standing. You are domain expert No, I have worked with a lot-a lot of cops Mmhmm Yeah So

28:41 I'm just saying, I believe based upon what i have seen and my research and the reading that they're going to crack down on any and all people flying Chinese drones. It'll be in essence like you could... You can set up a pirate radio station but eventually they'll come and get you And it's not just FAA its FCC They don't want you transmitting with these very scary DJI drones So, it's gonna come down. Hey you want your funding? Get rid of those drones! Talking about non-drones let's talk about Syria Wow talk about a buzzkill alright

CHAPTER 08 / 45 Discussion

Syria Regime Change, Bashar al-Assad Flight to Russia

The Assad family's 50-year rule of Syria ended as rebels took Damascus and Bashar al-Assad fled to Russia. While media reports highlight celebrations and the release of political prisoners, skeptics point to the conflict's origins in Western interests regarding oil pipelines and the historical use of staged events like the White Helmets.

syria· damascus· bashar al-assad· russia· arab spring

29:29 Syria. Syria! We gotta get to Syria, Syria is the topic of more importance it seems to me than trying to screw the Chinese I know but i just want people to calm down we're not being invaded like Scott Adams like oh yeah there's gonna be drone warfare over America Yeah exactly yes that's what he just slashed that on the X But we have to get that clip It was a post- Drone warfare, well... Yeah. Over America. Could happen! Yep

30:06 It'll be the cop drones against the teenager drones. They're gonna be dogfighting. This goes Syria it has been a historic week in Syria, The first week and a half century that the Assad family did not rule the country as rebels took hold of Damascus and Bashar al-Assad fled to Russia thousands of political prisoners were released into freedom and Syrian people were dancing in the streets Morning Edition host Leila Fadal is in Damascus and she joins us on the line now. Hey, Leila Hi! What's Damascus like? I mean it's actually really hard to describe It's this place of extreme happiness people for the first time having a taste of freedom being able to tell their own children what they really think because this was a country

30:54 where people said the walls had ears, they were afraid even to speak freely at home in case something was said at school for example and that would put them in prison. Any type of criticism of the Assad regime and now people can speak freely they can chant, they can dance on the streets to songs that curse the Assad family And I want to talk to you about Friday prayers at this historic Umayyad Mosque in the Old City where there's a Salahuddin tomb. People just thronged inside, some who could never pray there because of security reasons scared that they would be taken and it was just thousands of people trying to get into the prayer room and we got ourselves in were sitting among these thousands of people praying and at the end of their first Friday prayer on what they're calling The Day Of Victory

31:38 The crowd burst into cheers. It still gives me chills, I've never heard anything like that but within this happiness there is grief because so many thousands and thousands and thousands of people disappeared during this 14 year civil war that started as peaceful demonstrations was met with violence and turned into civil war. And so they're searching for their loved ones, they're missing that went to prison and they don't know where they are some are finding bodies some are finding nothing and the really lucky ones are finding there people broken but alive Oh wait a minute let's just review this for second because we've been on the Syria beat since the beginning of this show Yep What I recall

32:19 is Syria didn't want to play nice with the West, with some pipelines mainly to France. They were okay we're just going to be on Russia's side and then Western influences created a civil war with all kinds of groups all kinds of military groups We had our guys in there were Russian people in there and then the Syrians who are in these regions They fled. They fled to Turkey and then Turkey went, oh this is great! I can do all kinds of fun stuff with these people. Ah, I'm going to give them maps on how to get to Sweden and how to get to the Netherlands and how to get to France. This was all political and all for resources it was not a civil war that i can recall

33:06 If you remember during the, and they said the show's been on for our shows almost 18 years. And this started 14 years ago so we followed it in thing from the beginning including the era of all the Hollywood celebrities going over there and Brad Pitt Angelina Jolie driving around among others yes and then we had remember Clooney had the eye in the sky keep my eye on these guys It was all Hollywood. Do you remember the early days when there were some, when the Civil War as it were... There was some skirmishes outside of the area and they would send reporters into Damascus? Yeah! And do you remember Damascus they actually invited me to come and do a podcast?! Do you remember this? No I don't remember that. They said hey we'd love for you to come in interview some people and do a podcast from Damascus. They're gonna send up tickets and everything

34:01 I decided against it. This was the Arab Spring, come on! This is this was a complete western setup over the pass-through of oil... It was the towns Aleppo and Homs we talked about them endlessly. Yes we did but yes Homes in particular but again you had the pipeline map and you were doing all this stuff But I didn't know that you had to, maybe you should have done that. But whatever the case... I chickened out obviously. Could have had the podcast myself! You had control over the feed man! If you remember back in the day, they would send camera crews into Damascus and it was business as usual. It looked like any Western city people roaming around and they were just having... You know it was normal. It was like normal and people were stunned by the fact that all this other action barrel bombs and all the rest is going on outside the city but now according to this report

35:01 It wasn't what was imagined. That never happened because people could now celebrate and dance in the streets, which they never could do before. They couldn't ever do that before! Ever! This is bullcrap this report! It's twisting history it's a complete rewrite. Complete rewrite and I think that as a service to humanity we're doing a pretty good job of reminding everybody what really went down And this woman, and then the thing that's a kicker here is this oh they were afraid to go to the mosque to pray because it would have been picked up. What? No no. I mean this isn't true. So remember so the barrel bombs which we never saw any evidence then it was the chemical weapons which wasn't admitted fake

35:43 Yeah, that was a fake. And then of course there was an admitted fake that was still rebuked and it's still brought to the fore as a real event. Then there were the actors in The White Hats I don't know if The White Hats are involved with this but they're the actors and kids spewing up because they were poisoned if you remember shaking. There was real skirmish and turmoil there because there were all kinds of funded terrorist groups running around, some of which the US funded. And most of it was to try and thwart Russia! Trump did that too didn't we? Oh Trump just sent some bombs in because he's upset about the poor kids. Yeah blew up the airfield yeah yeah Trump was irked

Richard Engel, Syria Victory Reporting Critique

Reporting from Damascus by Richard Engel is criticized for its theatrical nature, specifically his focus on the word "Hurriya" (freedom) and the use of celebratory gunfire as a backdrop. The segment characterizes the mainstream media's portrayal of the Syrian transition as "Hollywood-style" journalism.

richard engel· nbc news· damascus· celebratory gunfire

36:36 So he got into it too. Talking about the drone up, this one is better. in terms of... Oh, it's much more significant. Yes I agree It is more significant and it's just a better job and these guys at NPR are just Can I give you 21 seconds of Richard Engel? Just to give you an idea how Hollywood they've made this Listen to this There is one word that I'm hearing over again It is Hurriya You did that No!

37:19 And a lot of celebratory gunfire. That is hit, that's an honest to God report! No... Yes yes no sweetening You left it on that long? What 10 seconds of machine-gun fire? Yes yes that is that is a true report that is not not sweetened and edited There is one word I'm hearing over and over again It is Hurriya Arabic Wow And a lot of celebratory gunfire. Emmy award winning stuff, I tell you. He should get a Pulitzer or something for that incredibly in-depth important reporting at this hour

CHAPTER 10 / 45 Discussion

Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, Syrian Transitional Government

The opposition group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), formerly linked to Al-Qaeda, has established a transitional government in Damascus. Concerns remain regarding the group's ability to govern a united Syria and the potential for the country to transition into a state governed by strict Sharia law.

hayat tahrir al-sham· hts· idlib· damascus· sharia law

38:18 Well, let's continue with this. This is a Syria rundown two and it's also a city that's holding its breath about what may come next because the new authorities are unknown to them right? And then let's turn to that because so much emotion is being led out But there are a lot of questions about the future with Assad now gone who's in charge Yeah, I mean the opposition which is now the de facto government is being led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham an Islamist group that was once linked to Al Qaeda but broke ties years ago and have sort of rebranded. And now they've gone from ragtag fighters born in a brutal war against Assad's regime to the defacto government. Now they're working on governing securing the city They've got checkpoints looking for weapons among civilians because so many of the military bases just opened up and people took weapons

39:07 They're they've got a transitional government for three months and they say they want to focus on Syria and rebuilding And they want to be welcomed into the global community. Oh, yeah the global Energy community sure all in you know there was a story I was reading about Assad and Who was the French president at the time? Not Mitterrand? Aland. I can't remember who's him, I have to dig the story up but he was saying to Assad He was saying look we're gonna do this pipeline We'll take 70% will give you 30%. And then he said that to the translator Assad speaks fluent French and Assad said To the translator tell the guy to go F himself

40:01 And then the French president said, oh really? Really you're going to play that way and one year later the Arab Spring started. I have to figure out...I have to look and see which president it was but that's how it went down! That's what it was Yeah? Nonsense. Makes sense. Nonsense. Go to clip three. Have you met and talked to anyone from HDS during your time in Syria? Yeah, I mean I've talked to a lot of the rebel fighters and I don't even know if we call them rebels anymore because they're really the de facto authorities and they're at these checkpoints all through the city I was at the Air Force Intelligence Building in Damascus and I met this young rebel who goes by Abu Mustafa. He's from Idlib, which is in northwest Syria and he was a child—he was 11 years old when the uprising began against former President Bashar al-Assad's repressive government

40:50 And I just want you to hear what he says. So right there, he's telling me he was 11 when it started and three years later, he took up weapons without the permission of his parents. He ran away from home because he says he had to defend his family, his land that airstrikes were destroying his city killing his people And so he decided he needed to fight. So this young man, who's only 24 years old was fashioned under this kind of brutality and today these young people many of whom had really never been to Damascus are now in charge of securing

41:28 the capital city. I mean, Leila that just gets to the fact that this has been going on for so long now there the initial beginning of the end for the Assad regime began in Arab Spring more than a decade ago That is something you covered So closely yeah You look at some many other countries that change leadership in very different ways during that period of time you know Assad dug in and stayed in power but But you saw the different directions that those new governments win. It was a lot of struggle What do you think that says about what could come next for Syria? Hmm struggle well this story about the kid, you know defending is whatever his bullcrap So we can assume that it's just they ask her about what you know Arabs, you know Arabs Arab Spring was basically a flop and

42:16 Or maybe not, or maybe it wasn't a flop. It did what it was supposed to do which was be a flop and her reaction to that question is kind of interesting this is I think one the last clip maybe There hasn't been one true success story out of these wave uprisings at that time in 2011 Libya, they got freedom and lived with repression but turned into chaos and now are a divided state with all these militias. You look at Iraq invaded an occupied by the US and then had its own uprising again is still struggling There's been internal fighting among the Syrian opposition it isn't united if you look across the country that continues

42:57 There are issues with the security vacuum. Do foreign fighters, do ISIS take advantage of this moment? Are there counter-revolutionary forces so a lot could go wrong but Syrians hope that they are the exception that a lot could go right Good luck! That's basically telling us that... Could be fine, could be fine That it is going to become a Sharia country And the women are going to be wearing the full outfits and the whole thing. That's where I was gonna end up, because they all do that! That's where they all end up so why is this gonna be any different? No none none. Then there shooting a gun in here okay great. I have report about blinking cuz everyone's just hanging out now let's have a talk let's have a meeting I love that rebels take over

CHAPTER 11 / 45 Discussion

Antony Blinken, International Response to New Syria

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken met with Arab leaders in Jordan to discuss rebuilding Syria, while notably excluding Russia and Iran from the talks. Critics observe that Qatar's role in the conflict remains underreported and compare current media coverage to past instances of "staged" reporting by journalists like Clarissa Ward.

antony blinken· jordan· qatar· turkey· clarissa ward

43:50 We're just here for a transitional period. Okay? Joyous crowds gather outside a historic mosque in Damascus, just under a week since rebel factions ousted President Bashar al-Assad U.S Secretary of State Antony Blinken says Washington is in direct contact with the rebel group that has assumed power. Blinken was at a gathering of Arab leaders to help support Syria's rebuilding process. Syria has changed more in less than a week than in any week this last half century. No one has any illusions about how challenging this time will be, but there's also something incredibly powerful at work. A Syrian people determined to break with the past

44:31 and shape a better future. The meeting of top-level diplomats in Jordan is setting out its hopes and goals for the new Syria it includes foreign ministers from Arab countries, Turkey and representatives from the European Union and the UN notably absent are Russia and Iran that two main backers at the Assad regime Notably absent from all reporting is Qatar they're part of the bad actors here It's their gas that they want to send through. But you don't hear much about Qatar. That's a good point, no, that never mentioned No nothing about Qatar Well... Do you wanna- are you done with Syria? I think I'm done with Syria! The point of the clips is that this is just hogwash Yes

45:26 Oh, and the minute Clarissa Ward is walking around you know it's hogwash. Richard Engel with Nat Pops? Come on! Did you...Clarissa Ward somebody put this up on Twitter an old clip she was the one if you can almost remember this Where they was like at some phony baloneyed up report where she was in a ditch. Yeah, yeah Oh, she's lying down Lying down giving her report. Yeah that wasn't that long ago No Wasn't it long and so then she gets up and then when she gets something they survey the scene there's people wandering around walking around Riding the bike you know I mean this is like the guys that were port either their hurricane

46:12 The hurricanes are their knee deep. It looks like they're up to their waist in water, but they're actually on their knees and somebody walks by behind them We make light of it obviously it's not fun when you there You talk to Israelis like...you don't know what your talking about! Your making light of it He killed millions of people I'm sure millions of people were killed Millions of people get killed all over the place But I don't know if it was just the evil dictator Assad with his swanky bathroom that we heard about from Richard Engel said, yeah. But we have something new. You know the Israelis that are there's people that are mainstream media has propaganda propagandized the world as a mechanism and you had to say you'll get Israeli's will be bitching at us for kind of deconstructing this stuff the same is we will a lot

CHAPTER 12 / 45 Discussion

European War Mindset, NATO Peacekeeping in Ukraine

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte has called for Europe to adopt a "wartime mindset" and turbocharge defense production to prepare for potential conflict within five years. Meanwhile, European leaders including Emmanuel Macron and Donald Tusk are discussing the possibility of sending peacekeeping forces to Ukraine following a potential ceasefire with Russia.

mark rutte· nato· ukraine· emmanuel macron· poland

47:09 left wingers who occasionally listen to the show and then they complain that we're... Oh no, what are you talking about? It's not just it's right-wingers who were like you guys only have right wing oh yeah working for the Jews you Zionists. How many times I gotta hear that? Very coincidental you don't bring up Israel in these things mm-hmm I'm noticing That's what you have to say. Everyone is noticing, the noticing! The noticing is expanding yes the noticing... Well here's what I'm noticing it's coming to an end in Ukraine and everyone knows this has to end everyone knows that there's going to be

47:51 peace talks and the Europeans are positioning themselves immediately. It's a prospect that seems to have gained traction in some circles, European countries sending a peacekeeping force to Ukraine if the ceasefire is agreed with Russia but after meeting with Emmanuel Macron in Warsaw, the Polish Prime Minister insisted that his country was not planning such a move for the moment their meeting came as several European foreign ministers gathered in Berlin also discussing backing for Kiev In a joint declaration, the officials underlined their support for Ukraine on what they described as its irreversible path to joining NATO.

48:30 Now that Europe is in complete shambles, they've depleted themselves of energy. They've depleted themselves a wreck manufacturing base France's is literally broke They can't you know individual member states what used to be countries can't print their way out of any kind of situation because also go through the European Central Bank which run by the convicted convicted felon, I think. It was a felony... what's her face? Fifi Lagarde! Now she's in charge of the European Central Bank and it's a mess over there so when you need to kick-start the economy what do you do? That it's what we always do every nation throughout history We need to kick start the economy let's turn to war

49:24 The way you can manufacture stuff that gets blowed up. So who better to sell it? And then it cuts the population down Who better to sell it than our friend, our friend from the lowlands, Remarque Rutte is here to tell you what we must do Europe because it's not safe! It's not safe We must be very careful Our deterrence is good For now But there's tomorrow I'm worried about you. I am very worried about tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow! The sun will not come out tomorrow We are not ready for what is coming our way in four to five years. What could be coming in four to five years? I don't know! Danger is moving towards us at full speed. Danger, danger is moving towards us... If full speed rides along then... Full speed 5 years it's coming from a very far place away. He must not look the other way No! we must face it Face It! What was happening Ukraine could happen here too

50:26 It could happen here too, don't you understand? And regardless of the outcome of this war we will not be safe in the future unless we are prepared to deal with danger. You must be prepared for danger! We will not be safe what can we do about it how must we be thinking?! We can do that... ...we can prevent the next big war on NATO territory and preserve our way of life How do we do it? This requires us all to be faster and fiercer. It is time to shift to a wartime mindset!

51:02 and turbocharged our defense production. Wait, wait... the payoff is- What a fanatic! By the way give yourself clip of the day for pulling this one out. Oops hold on what happened there? Oh a million things went wrong at the same time I'm sorry Clip of the Day yeah no i'm taking it I'm taking it Alright listen to The Kicker Listen to The Kicker It's time to shift to a wartime mindset and Turbocharge, our defense production and defense spending. Remember when they said we won't even have a European army? Now we have a defence production, a defence military industrial complex and collectively we have a war mindset. I want everybody to have a war mindset! I have people in the Netherlands sending me article after article after articl about how to prepare

CHAPTER 13 / 45 Discussion

Germany NATO Exit Rumors, European Economic Decline

Reports suggest that Germany is internally discussing the possibility of withdrawing from NATO as its industrial base suffers from the loss of cheap Russian energy. The destruction of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline and the shift toward a green economy are viewed as self-inflicted wounds that have left the European Union in economic shambles.

germany· nato· nord stream 2· angela merkel· energy crisis

52:00 Preppers, literal prepper articles in mainstream magazines and newspapers in the Netherlands. How you need to have water? What kind of canned goods you need because with the Voor mindset it could happen It is coming our way They are psy-oping Europe Wow Big time! Its pathetic So, I was watching this morning the France 24 reporting on what's going on in Germany because their government is falling apart too. Of course it's... Yeah! Just like France and there was one mention that hasn't gotten too far yet

52:41 Germany of all countries is thinking, at least they're discussing dropping out of NATO. Oh I hadn't heard this! When i heard that I said holy mackerel! Wow! Because Germany if you think about it... They are Europe let's be honest. Besides they were Europe Yeah, good point. They were the industrial powerhouse and they were really in the catbird seat when they were getting free energy or free cheap energy from Russia with a drink When Merkel and Putin were buddies, and they both spoke German and they both spoke Russian. And there we're getting... Germans were getting pumped up with the cheap gas with the pipelines. Then they cut all that off and shut down their nukes and did all this stuff out of the blue. Germany just went into the tank the way I see it

53:35 And now they're thinking of getting out of NATO, which may be the smartest thing they could do. It was a total destruction and it was completely avoidable! I-I...it was on purpose, i'm not quite sure why other than let's just you know let Cargill and Monsanto, I guess that's Cargill and what's the other big ag company? I'm thinking of yeah Archer Midlands. Yeah these guys let them let them buy up all the farmland which is clearly happening all over You know, still continue to be... The Netherlands is just the accountant's office and mailboxes. They don't do anything. And of course they have chemicals, they have the taste and texture products of all the fake food. Right! Just what nobody wants. The fake food you're all going to be eating it's despicable. Makes the bugs out of me.

54:28 Wilders, you know. It was the big revolt! Oh yes Geert Wilders his party wins he brings in the ex-spook guy the ex CIA Dutch AFA day the spy agency and what now we hear nothing quiet everybody get just collect your water bottles for when the Russians come It's true. You know, you have to wonder who is really... Is it us that are behind the really destroying? I mean we're never bad. I don't think we've ever been fans of the EU at least as a culture and as an economy We don't like the EU Well, we did blow up the Nord Stream 2 People can talk about sailboats whenever they want Yeah so it's possible that the Europeans are so stupid

55:22 that they have been suckered into all this stuff and the German example is the best. And yeah, what are you gonna do? Well that was a worldwide phenomenon with climate change and the green economy... Well it's still going on hasn't stopped. No but they've tried to make that the new economy in Europe and that was the previous plan now just screw it let's just make it a war economy. Yeah good idea! It's easier we know how to do it Well, you know the Europeans have been historically it's just a fluke that since World War two there hasn't been like a conflagration in within the boundaries of the EU between countries because they've

North Dakota Oil Decline, Chevron Capping Scandal

The Oil Baron reports that capital efficiency in North Dakota's oil fields is falling, leading to a pause in drilling due to underperforming wells. Additionally, Chevron faces a potential scandal regarding hundreds of improperly capped "dead wells" in Texas that could lead to significant environmental liabilities and financial strain.

north dakota· fracking· chevron· oil baron· peak oil

56:06 A thousand years they've been having these wars and fights and battles. The Hundred Years War, the Prussian War, the Napoleonic Wars... There's just one after the other that never ends is what their specialty is so let it happen! There are all kinds of scandals now coming out about carbon credits People are starting to figure that out. I think there was a German company who was doing climate projects in China, and they basically just made nice PowerPoints and took all the money for the credits. The boondoggles fall... Oh by the way, I got a note from The Oil Baron. North Dakota is declining capital efficiency falling meaning the wells are underperforming due to lower production when drilling and fracking

56:57 Depletion of the geologic zones is substantial enough to cause us to pause drilling. We drilled a couple months ago, we just fracked them last week so far zero results." Well that's not what...we were told that North Dakota has got more reserves than the entire world! Well The Oil Baron says different. We may have been misled. Drill baby drill it's gonna be great Where, yeah? We'll see. It has to... we have to go Alaska I guess where else can we go? Yeah. I was surprised by that report as well and I said can I credit this to you he says yes absolutely it's the truth now maybe now I mean I can't think of any other reason than that is just true Is that the back in field at North Dakota? I think maybe

58:07 It's like half the state is supposedly rich with frackable reserves. Well, the thing that has really improved throughout the years is the actual... The fracking technology has improved, the sensors and the camera or not cameras but the way they can drill straight through in horizontal fashion and we've had more technology to get the compacted So it's stuff out of the sand basically there may be something else going on too. There was a report I was watching it Yeah, I was here at the house with Brennan Jay's husband and Brendan works for Chevron no idea so that's interesting okay? yeah, and so we have this come up broader because he's a chemist and I was a chemistry Union oil and

58:58 There was a report on the Chevron, all that... especially in Texas. Chevron has wells all over Texas that were never properly capped. Dead wells And when a well goes dead, they have to do certain things to the well to make sure it just doesn't leak leftover oil all over the place and make a huge mess. It's really a problem. And they did the calculation of hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of wells that are not properly capped for permanent reasons for permanent purposes and it to do to go back and do it right will according the calculations eventually bankrupt Chevron

59:45 Well, that's why they said... It's that bad. Yeah, they're cutting back by 10%. Remember what we heard is the investors don't want expansion, they want cash flow. They just want to throw money at us. We don't buy back stock, we want dividends, we don't want any more expansion. And so there are all kinds of problems going on and maybe what's going on in North Dakota has something to do with this problem with doing When the well is over, you have to close it properly and it's not being done right. And this is a scandal I don't know...I'd have to look into it more. Well in the meantime let's say that we have some issues with our oil with the drill baby drill not just with the quantities available or frackable or whatever

Doug Ford, Canada-US Trade War Threats

Ontario Premier Doug Ford warned that Canada is prepared to fight back against potential U.S. tariffs by cutting off energy exports to Michigan, New York, and Wisconsin. This escalation follows Donald Trump's threats of trade restrictions, signaling a potential trade war between the two North American neighbors.

doug ford· ontario· canada· tariffs· energy exports

1:00:37 but also with the lack of interest of drilling new wells, then there's this from Doug Ford up there in Candanavia. Let's make no mistake about it as I mentioned to the Prime Minister and the rest of the premiers we need to be ready We need to be ready to fight This fight is coming 100% on January 20th or January 21st We don't know what extent this fight's going to go to, but we need to line up everything that we're gonna tariff. We will go the full extent depending on how far this goes. We will go the extent of cutting off their energy Going down to Michigan, going down to New York State and over to Wisconsin I don't want this to happen

1:01:24 My number one job is to protect Ontario, Ontarians and Canadians as a whole since we are the largest province. If he comes out and mentions that he's going to tariff everything that is a big problem for Canadians but it will be a big problem for Americans But we will use every tool in our toolbox to fight back. We can't sit back and roll over, we just won as a country. It sounds like you're pretty confident these tariffs are coming? You don't think this is close to it? No. 100% these tariffs are coming. We're going have go war with Canada! Have to nuke Ottawa! We've done it before... Hey that's our oil

1:02:12 We're gonna bring you some democracy, Canada. You got a problem up there. They haven't even cranked up, I mean they've been... They've cut back on what they can do up there in Alberta which is an oil producing province It's just spitting out of the ground over there There are some issues that are going to have to be resolved in the next couple years and Trumps gonna be in the middle of it Probably the best guy to be in the middle of it compared to Biden So maybe all this windmills And solar panels is because they knew that the oil is... Wait, we've hit peak oil. It's finally here! Peak Oil? We finally hit it. Peak oil. Yes Alright well after that bad news Yeah sorry Sorry to be the bearer of but you know You know we have to keep an eye on this stuff and invest investors or we do have people that invest

Joe Biden, Record Presidential Pardons and Commutations

President Joe Biden issued a record-breaking 1,500 pardons and commutations in a single day, including controversial figures like Ohio politician Jimmy DeMora and "Kids for Cash" judge Michael Conahan. Critics, including Jesse Waters, highlighted the release of white-collar criminals and fraudsters alongside non-violent drug offenders.

joe biden· jesse waters· jimmy demora· kids for cash· pardons

1:03:08 We might as well go to some... Well, no I'm not going to do that. Let me do some foreplay. Let's go to Biden... I got Biden pardons. Oh yes this is good. Okay, Biden pardons. This is a... To get the best Biden pardon clips, I went to Jesse Waters Because he's the I brought a water sizes. I brought a waters clip today as well. No, you're kidding Yes, I did. We should ban these could be he's he's You know, I have to say that over watching with the Jesse Waters primetime show that they gave him that spot That was the prime creme de la creme spot on Fox. Yes And I have to say that he definitely has the best writers He puts together a dynamite show

1:03:51 It really works and he's pretty good at it. And then he's got this Johnny character as one of his producers who goes out on the street and does what he used to do. That's his stuttering John guy! And it's entertaining, yeah...it is. It's really a pretty good show I have to say but Waters is- He is not- As a presenter he kind of over dramatizes and does one too many asides just little too snide Yeah But at the same time the writers are doing their job so he does good work So he's gonna go on about I have two clips and this is the list of the best of the best of the best pardons that Biden gave out. Biden got so much flack for pardoning his felon son and lying about it, that he said screw it! I'm pardoning everyone The president dished out 1500 pardons in commutations He just broke the single day record, attaboy And Biden didn't just pardon dandelions who should've never been locked up in the first place He's letting out crack slingers drug traffickers some of the most notorious fraudsters in US history

1:04:48 One guy smuggled cocaine, heroin and ecstasy into our country. Another guy recruited drug dealers so he could pump cocaine through American cities Not a great look but a lot of presidents have pardoned non-violent drug offenders if you can call that non violent Where Biden really went off the rails was with white collar criminals who took bribes and robbed taxpayers. Now, that sounds familiar. Biden commuted the sentence of Jimmy DeMora a Democrat politician in Ohio who was just locked up for taking half $1 million in bribes and Jimmy didn't just take cash you could bribe him with trips to Vegas problem with prostitutes can even bribe them with stone fired pizza ovens

1:05:30 Jimmy was running pay-to-play schemes. If you lined his pockets, he'd give you a nice government contract or jobs it raises He even interfere with court cases Biden let the guy walk I know what it is But I know what it is. He's a podcaster in a suit That's what he is. He has a podcaster cadence. He has the bit of the snide Ness of Megan Kelly It just wears a suit It's a funny analogy. Yeah, there is a podcasting element to it. A podcaster in the suit, a suited podcaster. But here goes to the second part with some other guys and there are couple that you might remember especially the one that Judge

1:06:11 who sent poor juvenile delinquents to this private prison. Yeah, that guy was great. Biden also let off Paul Doggard us a sleazy lawyer who cooked up the tax scam that cost our government $1.6 billion. Prosecutors called Paul the most prolific pernicious and utterly unrepentant tax cheat in US history And a judge said this was the biggest tax fraud prosecution ever. And Biden heard that and said, let him free. Biden also let out Elaine Lovett who used an army of doctors to scam Medicare at millions of dollars. Then there's Rita Cronwell. She embezzled more than 50 million from a small town in Illinois. Biden is okay with that

1:07:00 And he let out Michael Conahan. It's a Pennsylvania judge that was involved in the kids for cash scandal, you ever heard of this? This dirty judge gave thousands of kids harsher sentences so they would be sent to for profit detention centers which would then send kickbacks to the judge. Why would Biden help this guy out? Here is the governor of PA. I do feel strongly that President Biden got it absolutely wrong and created a lot of pain here in Northeastern Pennsylvania. It also infected families in really deep and profound and sad ways Some children took their lives because of this Families were torn apart Look, everybody makes mistakes And some people deserve second chance But these people took advantage of the public's trust Why would we bail them out? He missed the most important pardons of all

US-China Prisoner Swap, Espionage Pardons

As part of a prisoner swap with China, President Biden granted clemency to three Chinese nationals, including two convicted spies and a man convicted of possessing child pornography. In exchange, China released Americans Mark Swyden, Kai Li, and John Leung, who had been held on various charges including drug offenses and espionage.

china· espionage· mark swyden· kai li· prisoner swap

1:07:58 That's bizarre. Which one? President Biden has granted clemency to three Chinese nationals, including two convicted spies and a man found guilty of possessing tens of thousands of child pornography images as part of the prisoner swap with China. The clemencies dated November 22nd secured the release of Americans Mark Swyden, Kai Li and John Leung who were imprisoned in China on charges ranging from espionage to drug related offenses. Among those pardoned were Yang Jun-chu, a career Chinese intelligence officer, and Ji Chao-kun A Chicago-based spy linked to China's Ministry of State Security, Chu, extradited to the U.S in 2018 was convicted of targeting American aviation firms including GE Aviation to steal trade secrets. Qi was sentenced last year for espionage and recruiting spies to obtain US aerospace technology

1:08:48 The third individual, Shanlin Jin a former doctoral student in Dallas was convicted in 2021 for possessing over 47 000 child pornography images. This exchange follows heightened tensions over Chinese espionage In October a congressional report criticized the Department of Justice for insufficiently enforcing laws against Chinese spying I mean not the Chinese they just killed our spies Just never heard from him again. He just let's him go? Yeah, he lost a lot of spies. And he just lets them go? That that's underplayed! Well, we did it. I have Joy Reid let's see what the uh with the let's see what 12 people who are watching hers have to heard this week. With just five weeks left in office President Biden took an historic step today commuting the federal sentences of roughly 1500 people and pardoning 39 others convicted of non-violent crimes it's the largest single at a day act of clemency by a president

1:09:47 It comes a little over week after the president pardoned his son Hunter and drew criticism for not doing enough for other Americans. The nearly 1,500 people are nonviolent offenders who were placed in home confinement under COVID Today's act of clemency also puts President Biden a little closer to the standard set by his former boss, President Barack Obama. On his last day in office in 2017, President Obama set the previous single-day record. He commuted the sentences of 330 nonviolent drug offenders. President Biden said he will be taking more steps in the weeks ahead and will continue to review petitions. Wow! There is more to come? More to come.

Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway, Pivot Podcast Valuation

Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway are reportedly seeking an eight-figure deal for their "Pivot" podcast as their contract with Vox Media nears expiration. Despite claims of $10 million in annual revenue, complications exist regarding Vox Media's ownership of the "Pivot" brand and feed.

kara swisher· scott galloway· pivot· vox media· bloomberg

1:10:29 It was pretty funny to hear my hate-listen, the uber liberals Schwisher and Galloway talking about this. Like, you know it's all kind of good and he was right to pardon his son. It's better...it's just a prison industrial complex. It's just the way for rich prison owners to make- You should have gotten a clip! Well I was going to get a clip but then I got distracted because this article that came from Bloomberg. Are you ready for this? Yeah. Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway seek 8 figure deal for Pivot

1:11:09 They figure their contract. So, yes. So that's at least 10 million there. Their contract with Vox is up this year and Scott Galloway is out there saying that they do ten million dollars a year in revenue but they want to sell the podcast I'm thinking if you really make ten million a year in revenue who needs Vox? Sell it yourself! Just take the money Something smells bad. So they're making, they claim to be making $10 million off that podcast? Yep! Twice a week

1:11:52 Oh, please. Yeah well I think that's probably trying to promote the you know someone or some...I think they want Amazon to buy it like 50 million dollars they take 25 each and then when Amazon finds out they can't... They're gonna soak if anybody okay I wish them is no but like I said the old saying goes there's no sweat off our balls but it's like if they can soak some suckers Yeah, okay. Good for them But do you think they really do 10 million on that show? No Seems like a lot... No And he says that... I don't know anybody except you that listens to that show. The Prof G Show, he says makes six million and is growing at 40% annually No it's not! Yeah and then he has a show with... Who would? Do you know anybody personally we know a lot of people. I know one person who makes a lot of money with this podcast One Joe Rogan That's the only one i know

1:12:51 Joe Rogan, yes. But Joe Rogan has big... is known to have big numbers He does works his ass off he works every day of the week doing this show basically I guess he takes a day off once in awhile but it's different and he's been doing it for a long time and he's got a personality that can handle this show like that He has entertainment shops. You know, he's got you know he's been on TV and hosting and acting these two people one of them is a there's just two stooges it makes no sense I Know but yeah, it's Bloomberg. Yeah, I'm sure they check their sources Obviously it checked any and here's and here's the complicating factor Vox Media owns the pivot feed and brand

1:13:44 So they think that together, they can walk. Wait wait... Are you telling me that to begin with they gave away sold or did some deal where they lost the rights of their own brand? Well, that's what it says! That shows how dumb you are! Nobody does that! This is like a dummy contract in publishing. Yeah. I'll sign it. The podcasters are still waiting on specific offers to come through Okay, you think you think this You think this is maybe a negotiating tactic with Vox? Probably we're gonna walk our 10 million dollar revenue. I'm gonna walk it It's us it's not it's not you vox its us well if box is bringing in ten million dollars from that podcast mmm which let's say Vox thinks they are what are they paying those two I don't know

1:14:44 They seem to have nice lifestyles. They do? Oh yeah, he has homes in England... Do they have private jets is that what you're saying? Galloway claims to fly private all the time I don't think he owns a jet but he flies private He has a home in Florida or two homes in England Home... He has two homes in England Yes one and one in London and one outside of London where I think near where Westerface moved The Cotswold The gods walls a Ellen. Yeah near Ellen Ellen or her wife yeah, and he's always flying off the guy I he made a lot of money with With some of his deals. I'm sure he's wealthy outside of podcasting I don't know about Swisher But but she got a lot that Google money from her first divorce didn't she? She must have gotten something yeah anyway

RFK Jr. HHS Nomination, Polio Vaccine Controversy

The nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the Department of Health and Human Services has faced intense backlash from both Democrats and Republicans like Mitch McConnell. Critics have dubbed him "Polio Bob" following reports that his legal advisor, Aaron Siri, previously petitioned to revoke the approval of the polio vaccine.

rfk jr· hhs· elizabeth warren· mitch mcconnell· polio vaccine

1:20:18 It's a member only subscription and then you can take the girls into the private room for dance. It's like an influencer slash OnlyFans Yeah, it's I got a mile-a-minute baby. I got ideas. Yeah, you're on a roll How much can be cups of coffee? How many how much gigawatt coffees you have this morning? Well, you know what it beats the gig that Chris Hayes has Because man, it must be rough to have to shill so hard for your big pharma overlords. There is growing unease even among conservatives over Donald Trump's nominee to head the Department of Health and Human Services Robert F Kennedy Jr Just yesterday an op-ed published in Rupert Murdoch's Wall Street Journal urged Republican senators to step up Hold on! It's not Rupert Murdoch

1:21:10 I mean he's retired. How could the guy is retired? He's not running News Corp anymore Well that's the same as everyone saying Soros was buying radio stations! Soros is dead, He's in the grave It's you know though George Soros George Soros owns a winery out here He probably does. So what? George is not there Exactly, it's not George he's not picking grapes or supervising anything exactly Just yesterday an op-ed published in Rupert Murdoch's Wall Street Journal urged Republican senators to step up and save Trump from his own Kennedy pick basically It was a bad political deal just get him out of it by dinging them

1:21:54 Now, there are a lot of reasons to oppose Kennedy's nomination. Maybe the most obvious is that for years he has been one of the most prominent anti-vaccine activists in the country and his activism has left people sicker and worse off. When COVID vaccines became available in 2021, Kennedy was a leading voice spreading misinformation and urging people not to vaccinate. This is such a rehash and rewrite of history It's amazing. Making ridiculous statements like that the coronavirus vaccine was the quote deadliest vaccine ever made multiple studies have found that he blew that line yeah hundreds of thousands of Americans do you hear what he said? Let me listen again. People not to vaccinate making ridiculous statements like that the corona virus vaccine was the quote deadliest vaccine ever made The Corona Virus was not a deadly vaccine

1:22:48 Making ridiculous statements like that the coronavirus vaccine was the quote deadliest vaccine. He said vaccines, okay I didn't hear it when he talks as he leaves the He downplayed certain words and it just then you just miss I missed it. Okay? Sorry well I have to say up front The targeting they're doing now, because and I know you have...I follow you now on BlueCry. I'm just gonna say BlueCry everyone understands is blue sky. I follow you there did you see that? I follow you now? I don't think i've posted one thing on BlueCry or BlueSky. Yeah! I searched for you and I followed you just in case You do not post anything but I wonder if you have been looking lately because I go on occasionally

1:23:32 And you know what they're doing now to target RFK Jr.? They have a new nickname for him. No. Polio Bob Oh, this is thanks...this is thanks to Warren Do you have Warren's clip? I don't have it. No but let me finish this one Elizabeth Warren comes out and says he wants polio back Well no this is the thing, polio But they're calling him Law of large numbers, they launched the polio Bob nickname. It's all over Blue Cry and the polio thing is what they're targeting him for. Multiple studies have found that hundreds of thousands of Americans could have lived had they been vaccinated against the virus could have lived but didn't

1:24:18 Prove a negative. Really? Prove a negative! It has been clear that Kennedy's confirmation to HHS would be dangerous to public health, wildly so. Dangerous. But I will admit...I learn something new every day. I hadn't realized just how bad it could get. Today in the New York Times we learned that Kennedy is interested in giving the top legal job at HHS to this guy Aaron Seary Syria's an attorney who has done millions of dollars in legal work for anti-vaccine organizations. He is also, according to both Times and Politico been helping Kennedy pick top federal health officials the new administration like that's the guy getting the resumes oh Oh And in 2022 he petitioned the government to revoke its approval of the polio vaccine. Oh no Yes The Polio Vaccine

1:25:04 The vaccine that for decades has protected millions and has virtually eliminated in this country a virus that can cause paralysis and death. The outrage over the news has been both widespread and bipartisan Republican Senator Mitch McConnell, a polio survivor issued a statement tonight reading in part the polio vaccine has saved millions of lives and held out the promise of eradicating a terrible disease efforts to undermine public confidence improving cures are not just uninformed they're dangerous Anyone seeking the Senate's consent to serve in the incoming administration would do well to steer clear of even the appearance or association with such efforts. It is unbelievable how these guys have to show for the pharma companies when if you look at the real evil

CHAPTER 21 / 45 Discussion

McKinsey & Company, Opioid Settlement

McKinsey & Company agreed to pay $650 million to settle federal investigations into its role in "turbocharging" OxyContin sales for Purdue Pharma. The consulting firm accepted responsibility for advising Purdue to target high-volume prescribers, contributing to the national opioid epidemic.

mckinsey· purdue pharma· oxycontin· opioids· fbi

1:25:44 The real evil is in this report. With the steel, McKinsey and company will pay $650 million to settle a federal investigation into their work tied to the opioid epidemic. McKinsey is an international consulting firm they were being investigated for their role in helping Purdue pharmacists sell Oxycontin and other painkillers fueling the drug crisis. The CDC has linked opioids to the deaths of more than 80 000 people just last year Federal investigators say McKinsey worked with Purdue Pharma to turbocharge their sales. At the time there was concern among doctors, OxyContin was being abused so Purdue's sales went down. Prosecutors say McKinsey advised Purdue to target sales to high volume prescribers including those who are prescribing the drugs for reasons that were unsafe and medically unnecessary that often led to drug abuse and addiction

1:26:32 The FBI says McKinsey would even do ride-alongs with Purdue so they could get even more scripts written. With this financial agreement, the $650 million dollars, McKinsey avoids prosecution in a criminal and civil investigation and McKinsey is accepting responsibility for their conduct In his statement the company says they are deeply sorry as part of the agreement they will not do any work related to marketing or selling controlled substances They should close that business down And then this just popped up today. That's a good clip to get by the way Yeah, it's not you're not gonna be many of them Yeah, you're not going to hear that on Chris Hayes' show. So we were talking about RSV for quite a bit about... when was that? Was it the beginning of this year when they really started rolling that out or was it last year around this time? It was last year. Last year. RSV and you said you never heard of RSV. That's what I'm... The first thing where I start cropping up is the first thing he said. I've never heard of this! I'm old! So Moderna has halted its RSV clinical trial

CHAPTER 22 / 45 Discussion

Moderna RSV Vaccine Trial Halt

Moderna abruptly halted its mRNA vaccine clinical trial for Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) in children after data indicated the vaccine might worsen the disease. The FDA disclosed that vaccinated children in the trial experienced severe RSV at rates up to three times higher than the placebo group.

moderna· rsv· fda· clinical trial· vaccine failure

1:27:32 In September 2024, Moderna announced that the clinical trial of its mRNA vaccine for respiratory syncytial virus RSV in children aged 5 to 24 months was halted abruptly. The clinical trial conducted in the UK and other countries ended after alarming data suggested that vaccine might not just fail to prevent severe RSV disease but could potentially worsen it. This week, the Food and Drug Administration disclosed that vaccinated children in the trial experienced higher rates of severe RSV compared to those in the placebo group up to three times as many

CHAPTER 23 / 45 Discussion

Peter McCullough, Childhood Vaccine Moratorium Call

Dr. Peter McCullough has called for a moratorium on childhood vaccines, citing a correlation between the increasing vaccine schedule and rising rates of autism and neuropsychiatric disorders. McCullough references studies of unvaccinated populations, such as the Amish, to argue that "going natural" leads to better health outcomes.

peter mccullough· autism· 1986 vaccine act· amish study· immune dysregulation

1:28:20 Yeah, oops is right. Oops! Well that brings us to the McCullough clip I have Okay You got a McCullough clip? Don't you like McCullough? The clip is called Vax and Autism It's a longer clip than usual But it's damn good It's McCullough And he's on some TV show Wait a minute This has been debunked Vaccination doesn't cause autism That's been debunked Dvorak Play the clip. a complete moratorium on childhood vaccines. First international organization to call for that, why? Because the vaccines are piling up one after another they're being given in multiple salvos there are safety events now that we learned in 1986 the US passed legislation that indemnified the manufacturers of vaccines In that legislation it says the vaccines have unavoidable harm

1:29:32 It says it. So what are the harms that we're seeing? It's clear when the vaccines are given in multiple rounds, there is probably no single vaccine and no single additive but it's the sum total of vaccines given at once We're seeing a strong signal towards neuropsychiatric disorders so attention deficit disorder Asperger's autism seizures, allergic diseases asthma atopic dermatitis. Need for termination sudden infant death syndrome and then the converse now this is the converse which is papers by Mawson hooker Miller Thomas and older Amish study all five studies show if children go natural

1:30:16 No vaccines whatsoever. They have the best outcomes Freedom from these things and you know when I was a kid the rate of autism was one in ten thousand Where was this before we continue where was this on? On bit shoot it was no This was on some TV show that was a local TV show that wow but your women Wow It was played someplace or other and it got picked up and got passed around. I wasn't a podcast, I don't think. And it was very...it was slick! Okay. It was like one of those morning shows in like Cleveland or something. Who do we get? We've got some anti-vax dude. Bring him on is fine. Whoa! What? Salvos of vaccinations?! Now it's 1 in 36

1:31:03 And there's about 200 published manuscripts showing it's an immune system dysregulation. One in 36? One in 36, one in 36. The immune system dysregulation that you know is a reactogenic phase of the vaccine sometimes with a febrile seizure The inflammatory factors go into the brain, probably permanently change it. And the vignettes of the mothers tell us that the child was fine up until they took multiple rounds of vaccines and then they developed autism Those vignettes are almost certainly correct We can't pin it down to any single vaccine, but I'm telling you in total it doesn't look good. This epidemic of autism is a tsunami and you know how many mothers now recent Kaiser Family Foundation survey shows about 1 third of mothers and young fathers going natural?

1:31:56 who was he says we're texting and a taxi driver quote or something come up, and he said you know I'm so sad about Bobby De Niro that they got him that he turned into such an idiot. And I said you know? I have hoped for Robert de Niro because he did that vaccine autism documentary That he got pressured into pulling from his own Tribeca Film Festival It was about his own kid. You remember that? Yeah, vaguely I have a feeling he will redeem himself and come back and say you know... ...I got screwed on this deal my kid got screwed on this deal And that documentary will come back In fact with Hot Luigi and everything people are starting to understand now about how the system works I think we can make a couple of predictions First of all as you rightly pointed out

CHAPTER 24 / 45 Discussion

Ozempic, Single-Payer Healthcare Pivot

There is a growing theory that the push for GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic is a precursor to a single-payer healthcare system managed by AI and major insurers like UnitedHealthcare. Proponents suggest these drugs can solve a wide array of chronic conditions, potentially reducing the need for traditional medical interventions.

ozempic· glp-1· medicare· single-payer· big pharma

1:32:52 They want, they want big pharma wants to just run everything. They want their own telemedicine which will all be driven by AI and it will be all ozempic GLP-1 it solves everything you got a broken leg here have some ozempic I think you have a couple of clips on this later. This thing is like GLP-1, oh no! It's better for your blood pressure it's better for your heart rate it's better for your kidneys...it solves diabetes everything's gonna be solved with Ozempic And a producer reminded me that this it's not going to be Medicare for all the term that you used to use a lot single payer health care. That's the target because that can be a UnitedHealthcare pivot, they could become single payer healthcare but I think

1:33:47 We will see that we will say at one point. Where were you during the health care riots of 2025? This has BLM stuff written all over it if they can now the drone stuff kind of interrupted it, but we may have some more interesting developments where people start to talk about how Bankruptcies are mainly caused a medical debt I mean there's all this stuff that people and it's now okay to talk about it even in the hallowed halls of Congress And in fact, here's another drug. Not on the Chris Hayes show? Well no one is watching! They lost all their viewers. This is a topic for podcasts. Podcasts are where it's at now. So wrap up this clip... Well this clip is from another sketchy vaccine that we just identified as sketchy because it made no sense what they were selling to us and that was the HPV

1:34:41 The HPV vaccine which launched during the show, we saw the marketing. They were going through freshman dormitories... Oh I'm sorry is my clip done? Your clip was done yeah! Oh i thought there was a little kicker at the end No he played the whole thing Huh okay sorry no no we played the whole it was two minutes and 38 seconds What did you think the kicker was? So, the kicker was he said that there were some studies that showed about the kids who didn't get any vaccines. Yeah no, he said... No! That was in there. The Amish... I thought he said it twice with a second with some studies. It's my fault.

CHAPTER 25 / 45 Discussion

HPV Vaccine, Cervical Cancer Death Statistics

A ten-year study from MUSC claims a 62% drop in cervical cancer mortality among women under 25 due to the HPV vaccine. However, skeptics point out that the absolute number of lives saved—approximately 15 per year—is statistically small compared to the aggressive marketing and potential side effects associated with the vaccine.

hpv vaccine· cervical cancer· musc· rick perry· gardasil

1:35:21 So we remember... You know, the HPV thing was a joke. They were hanging bags, goodie bags on doorknobs of freshman girls in colleges I mean it was so I don't want... people were very skeptical of it. But now we have finally, after 10 years... Wasn't some politician or wasn't it Rumsfeld or somebody? One of these creeps that was... No! Rick Perry! Rick Perry! He was all for it he was the one that was pushing it. No but wasn't one of them a big investor I don't remember that. Oh well, yeah But here we go finally after 10 years we have the results! The results are in of the HPV vaccine So researchers at MUSC have been studying cervical cancer for nearly ten years looking at cervical cancer cases and what can be done to improve the HPV vaccination rates in the community Now this study like you mentioned is groundbreaking for the public health community because it's the first time Researchers are seeing a decline in cervical cancer deaths

1:36:22 Wow, what do you think the decline is in these cervical cancer deaths? I have no idea. They'll give you absolute numbers, not just percentages. Oh good! Real numbers coming Now it's focused on women younger than 25 years old and is the first group to likely have benefited from the HPV vaccination i was able to speak with one of the co-leaders on this study he says each year in the US they identified nearly 12 500 cases of cervical cancer and 4 000 cervical cancer deaths He also shared the benefits, the direct benefits of the vaccination The most important benefit whether the vaccine has led to prevention of cancer and whether the vaccine has ultimately led to prevention of deaths caused by cervical cancer. So we estimated cervical cancer death rate in the US

1:37:08 among the first birth cohort who is likely to have benefited from HPV vaccination. And what was amazing is that in last six years, there was 62% drop in cervical cancer mortality. That's 15 percent per year decline. Fifteen people? What a success! I'm so glad. Remember the girls who were walking backwards and had tics, and all kinds of odd stuff happening to them? But hey we saved 15 girls from cervical cancer. Scam! How come these... Well not only that but that's probably statistically not even important No! But how could this even be put in the marketplace without knowing its success rate

1:37:59 Isn't that what's... no, well the answer is there's no downside. The answer is getting Kennedy in. Yeah. Polio Bob! Bring him in. Polio Bob has got to go in. I can't believe they're... Well good luck because I still think that Trump can always hold over you know because he wants to get these guys in cuz he got screwed the first time around by having his but you know Washington Elites tell him who to put in and get people like John Bolton working for you, right? Who's just there to stab me in the back. Yeah So he's gonna go out of his way to get these guys in it seems including Hegg says

White House Ozempic Debate, Elon Musk vs RFK Jr.

A potential policy conflict is brewing between Elon Musk, who advocates for making weight-loss drugs like Ozempic affordable for all, and RFK Jr., who emphasizes diet and exercise over pharmaceutical solutions. Meanwhile, platforms like ZocDoc report a 53% increase in consultations for semaglutide following media specials by figures like Oprah Winfrey.

elon musk· rfk jr· ozempic· whoopi goldberg· zocdoc

1:38:39 And he's gonna hang over, I know he can hang it over the heads of these drug companies and just say look Kennedy goes in or i'm going to do an executive order. And i'm going to pull the plug on advertising a prescription drugs which is the only country that does it. He can do that with an executive order and that is a huge threat There is an interesting little twist all this and came up in a strange way on The View Because Whoopi Goldberg was trying to say, you know Elon Musk is horrible person. But yet Elon Musk is all for Ozempic. There could be a White House drug war brewing over anti-obesity meds like Ozempic Health Secretary nominee RFK Jr has railed against that claiming Oh yeah, because she's so funny She's a comedian. nominee RFK jr

1:39:39 has railed against them, claiming America's addicted to drugs and weight loss should come from diet and exercise. No! No exercise!! But Elon Musk, nominee for the just-made up Department of Government Efficiency and the actual real VP wants to expand—yeah you heard me. Wants to expand access saying nothing would do more to improve the health lifespan and quality of life for Americans than making the drugs affordable for everyone. Oh this could be a White House showdown but wait

1:40:16 Whoopi, give us a native ad. Now most yeah most Americans agree with Elon Musk But you know the question is who's the boss gonna side with but I just want to throw this out? I'm gonna say you don't know You don't realize what you do to people when you say stuff like that because it doesn't work for everybody and I'm going to show you sir because I weighed close to 300 Less than two years ago. Yeah, and without the majoro mm-hmm this would not have happened Whatever. And I'm trying to tell everybody, listen this worked for me this may work for y'all it you cannot take it out of people's hands if we can help because if we can keep people healthy yes if we can get rid of diabetes if we can get rid of all the things cardiovascular what is wrong with trying to do that? Cardiovascular

1:41:21 Wow, wow. So they don't have to fire whoopie she'll drop dead from some horrible kidney disease if she keeps this up Well, she's definitely toeing the line now with that promotion I have a clip of those epic is kind of it just go it's from NPR called the dock dock clip Oh, okay. The popularity of obesity drugs is on the rise and a report from ZocDoc... They're really pushing to get this into Medicare aren't they? They're really pushing it! Yeah they are going all out! There's a lot riding on this NPR! The popularity of obesity drugs is on the rise and new reports from ZocDoc, the online platform for booking appointments shows patients are asking their doctors about them more and more. NPR's Sydney Lupkin has more

1:42:04 ZocDoc, an online scheduling platform says a lot more patients are booking consultation appointments with their doctors to ask about semaglutide. That's the active ingredient in blockbuster obesity drug Wagovi and type 2 diabetes drug Ozempic. ZocDoc says there were 53% more of these appointments in 2024 than 2023 The company's data showed some insights. For instance, ZocDoc says the day Oprah did a special about Ozempic it saw a bump in appointments. More weight loss consultations were also virtual compared with most other ZocDoc appointments which are in person. The report has its limitations however. ZocDoc doesn't show whether patients were able to get and fill their prescriptions for these drugs I tried to register docdocgo.com but was already taken what a great name

Med Bed Rumors, Hill Country Elites

At the Tannenbaum Ball in Fredericksburg, Texas, local elites were reportedly discussing "Med Beds," a fringe technology rumored to heal DNA and regrow limbs using frequencies. Despite the lack of scientific evidence, the concept has gained traction among certain affluent circles who believe the technology will soon be deployed in hospitals.

med bed· fredericksburg· texas· frequencies· dna healing

1:42:50 Would have been great. Doc, doc go what a great name Yeah, but this will be... This is the final solution. Everybody gets their go to doc.go and you get your GLP-1 you get your Ozempic or Monjaro whatever there'll be a whole You know if you can choose from which one you want Deathsbound And it'll solve everything It cures all! It cures single payer health care no doctors By the way So we, because Tina helps at the organization We went to the annual Tannenbaum Ball Here in Fredericksburg. This is the elites of the hill country The Hill Country has its elite so it has this oh, there are more who I should call tan and bomb Is that from their song yes because it's a German tanning balm Oh ten is that one? Yes It's a German town ah ton and ton and balm is yeah is the den you know the the Pine pine needles the pine tree

1:43:50 Yes, the Tannenbaum Ball which is for the Fredericksburg Historical Society. And so we were invited to go and Tina helped out with some of the committees, some of the women's. She's really she's very good at very good organized helping these organizations and uh... So the big talk! The big now I would say most of these people are a little bit older than we are Some a lot older, but you know I mean the kind of people like oil people patent attorneys You know the people who've got shots hot shots. Yes who have run away from Houston Dallas and have all come to live in Austin for sure They all live here on the hill country The Big Talk and I was baffled

1:44:38 The big talk, everyone's like yes. Oh President Trump is going to put one of these in every single hospital this is it's the cure-all have you heard of the med bed? What? Have you heard of the Med Bed? Med Ved? Med Bed! A Med Bed?! Mike Echo Delta Bravo Echo Delta No. It's... Everyone's talking about the Med Bed You lie down on the med bed, it heals your DNA. Your limbs grow back... your cancer goes away It's all done with frequencies. Yes! John I couldn't believe what i was hearing. Are you serious? Do you really believe in this? Now of course if you look at the med bed online apparently John F Kennedy is still alive he's being kept alive on a medbed

1:45:33 But this is, it's... Why does he need to be kept alive on one of these things if he's alive? It's bullcrap. The whole thing is bullcrap! Well obviously it's bull crap but I was just so surprised everyone's like oh yeah the med bed yeah President Trump is going to put one in every single hospital it's going to cure everything and like these are again patent attorneys hotshots Yeah they're all the elites The elites! I didn't know what to say I'm like, well this is the same you know you're in a crowd of people that they're gullible obviously a credulous and it's the same group that said there was what was it? The power going to go off on the day of election. No no yeah but that was a different group that you know that was Oh it was a different group. There are many groups we got there We've got lots of groups here

1:46:25 So this group... I'm telling you, I'm having the best years of my life. Yes correct! You need to come visit we have a guest bedroom it is the best place to be in the world it's amazing and I can sit there and say you're crazy and they'll go maybe They don't care. I know the type! They don't care, they love me and we love them for the same reason now then you know yes some of the grids going down that group is here too but this was an expanded group and i was just blown away by that like Polio Bob better bring in the med bed

1:47:04 You know, that's what's gonna... Whoopi! We can sell one to Whoopi. Lay on this every single night. He'll lose weight." Well this is based on the thesis that certain sound waves can have harmonics that will destroy certain cells which isn't you know it's just known yeah but there's no generalized Anything like that. Go online anything Oh, there's all kinds of clinics now that have med beds and you get frequency I'm sure there are you lay down another here you go And I give me give me here lay down don't do anything and give me money Once again we miss a fine exit strategy We are the biggest losers in yeah well what that's because we're not scammers

Hot Luigi, UnitedHealthcare CEO Shooting Reactions

The public reaction to the shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson has seen suspect Luigi Mangione characterized as a "hero" by some on social media. Media figures like Megyn Kelly and Piers Morgan have expressed shock at this sentiment, while others argue it reflects deep-seated public frustration with the American health insurance system.

luigi mangione· unitedhealthcare· brian thompson· megan kelly· tiktok

1:47:45 With that, I'd like to thank you for your courage. Say in the morning to the man who put the sea and kids for cash say hello to my friend on the other end, the one and only Mr John C. D- Well in the morning all ships and seaboots in the ground feeding the air subs in the water and all the dames and all the knights out there. In the morning to the trolls out there... Hello trolls! How are ya doing? Alright we have 2366 at the peak I say we're above average. No, Sunday! Oh that's right it is a Sunday This is down 100. Oh no oh no We're down 100 Yeah minimum yeah well I think still everyone wanted to tune in and make sure that they knew all about the drones Drones!! No one cares about hot Luigi poor guy he's over he's done by the way

1:48:41 I do have the bonus clip right now. We can play it now. You demanded, oh you're the gay clip! Where's the gay clips? Well about Luigi... It's the talk clip this is the guy this clip Wait a minute, I demanded the gay clips is that how your positioning this now Yeah, I've demanded TikTok clips. Well, I think you're right it did but the right kind let's see so this is about... This is and I have to set this up though okay? This is a guy who's better to view this clip you can do it around as always

1:49:17 But it's a guy dressed up in the McDonalds outfit with a microphone thing and he's like he's taking orders from the from the He's got the headset on and he's like any any act. He's very flamboyant gay, and he is Taking these orders And then he looks up and he sees its Luigi at the counter which is by the way is not the way this works But he's, Luigi is in front of him so he starts to make a pass at Luigi and it goes from there. Welcome to McDonalds what can I get for you? Excuse me one second ma'am yeah one second. Luigi! Oh my god you've created quite the stir online Yeah ya have everybody looking for you Including me Wow you are gorgeous Is it true your 6'2"?

1:50:04 I love that. Okay, well if you need a place to stay here's my address phone number and social security and of course my keys yes wow okay well um be safe out there and i will be showing you my happy meal later i will i will so get ready wow ma'am calm down no you calm down i just found my future husband yeah i know Oh man, it's kind of interesting how mainstream and with that I don't just mean Frau Ingraham but also Megyn Kelly and others. They're incense that people are making hot Luigi into a hero they're beside themselves

1:51:00 Because they I think somehow they want to put I wonder what the sincerity level is because they have to understand it now This is the point. They don't I don't think they understand. I think they are these people have health plans You know, we're on like some crowdsourcing thing Yeah, you are. I'm on Medicare so screw y'all! Tina is sad actually because in a couple years she gets kicked out of the crowd health and then she has to go on Medicare and so that you can't be on the crowd health anymore She's sad cause she loves it They're even giving her $300 for preventative for everybody

1:51:39 And it only pays $200 a month or something. It's amazing! Back to Megan and Frowl, yes I watched this too and they all... They're almost like... I don't believe that they are as sincere as... Or maybe in denial? I'm not sure what it is but if it does make a lot of sense to anyone who has a clue that this guy would be perceived as a hero. I find it very interesting, somewhat bizarre that a lot of these big podcasters are like, whoa! How can you say...I think their default is like they only think in left and right and liberal and conservative—that's their whole shtick—and they can't place this into a universal issue amongst people?

1:52:30 And that's just their default, is just to go for... liberal... they don't care. They want to kill people. There is something off about it but you've noticed it too good, not just me Yeah I've noticed and I find this kind of distressing because their inability to understand the mechanisms I mean, I'm not on the side of the people that extol this guy as some sort of great hero. But I can objectively understand where they're coming from. It doesn't...I'm sure not shocked by it. I'm not shocked by Taylor Lorenz or anybody else saying oh yeah this guy's great you know? Exactly! Pierce Morgan another one. Yeah another one exactly. He's another one

1:53:17 I can't believe it! Really? You can't believe it. You don't understand that you pay $1,500 a month and have an eight thousand dollar deductible. You do not understand that's the problem. And then you have to call and follow up in fax. He was a married man with kids and wife. Well yeah... I mean I don't condone killing. Okay well yeah that is true but there How many murders take place with it? Just new random murders every year in Oakland, for example. And these are family men that nobody... That's the main point. No one is complaining about that. Nobody complains about the poor black guy was shot dead in the street by some random drive-by. But this is like a big deal

CHAPTER 29 / 45 Discussion

Best of No Agenda, COVID Lies Retrospective

A special "Best of No Agenda" episode produced by Strokey Bill will document the history of COVID-19 "gaslighting" and government mandates. The retrospective features clips of officials like Bill de Blasio promoting vaccines with fast food and the eventual push for vaccine passports.

covid-19· bill de blasio· vaccine passports· gaslighting· strokey bill

1:54:03 By the way, I want to remind everybody that this Thursday we will have a special best of NOAHgender put together by Strokey Bill. I believe is his nickname and we debated about this because he put this together awhile back now I want to say six or eight months ago and it wasn't sure that I liked it as a concept because he put together, and he's pretty good at editing. He put together two parts of this. It's total probably about three hours and is sequential. It is all of the lies and the gaslighting of COVID

1:54:44 And I didn't think i would like it, and like...I'm kind of bored of it. Yeah you didn't want to run it? You wanted us to do something else? Yeah! I didn't want to run it and then I listened to it and with no agenda hindsight It's amazing You just sit there and go, oh my God. Listen to what they did. Listen to all the things... I mean when you hear the free fries and a hamburger again and all that stuff. Oh yeah especially with de Blasio eating a burger and munching on fries in front of a camera. And it evoked emotion. Yeah have one of these and get a shot! Have one of these It evoked emotion in me like I cannot believe-I know because we lived through it

1:55:25 I mean, we fought but we mocked it and we said this. We mocked it! This is nuts but now just hearing that all over again like... It is truly pathetic what they put us through. Truly pathetic So anyway, so we'll have a best of that's because I'm traveling going to No it was my brother-in-law's 60th birthday and we're staying in Italy and so we're staying Through Christmas. I will be doing the show The day after Christmas, I think. What? When is it? Christmas is on the 26th. Christmas is on a Wednesday. Wednesday. Yeah. Day after Christmas. Yes and I'll be doing the show on Sunday so Thursday will be best of that's the best I could do. You're traveling. I'm traveling just there's no other way to do because you lose today and we never miss this show We have never in almost 18 years

1:56:24 skipped or run a rerun or anything, we always produce something. We always produce something new yes. Somebody or...we or somebody else produces something that is valuable and this has been our policy And I believe this to be of value. That we haven't run into any situation where you've lost power that day or you know any screwy thing has ever happened Well we did have one time when you actually lost power and i played songs for about three hours and then you came on, I think we still did the show didn't we? That wasn't that long. A couple hours, it was a bit. Well whatever the case would do this show still done on that day? Yeah I still did it got still did a show so It'll be good to listen to you might get a little worked up over it and it's like there's horrible people and there's people that you've forgotten about who you need to remember passport vaccine passport people

Value for Value, No Agenda Art Generator

The No Agenda show continues its "Value for Value" model, relying on listener support rather than traditional advertising. Recent listener-submitted art from the No Agenda Art Generator, including Darren O'Neill's "flying school bus," was reviewed for its conceptual humor despite AI-generated flaws.

value for value· podcast index· darren o'neill· ai art· troll room

1:57:21 A lot of, a lot of bad actors. And also weak people who buckled right away for whatever... Oh that's everybody! Well I mean but leaders and elected representatives who buckled... Trump! Buckled. Anyway those trolls who are here with us they're in trollroom.io and they are on the Modern Podcast apps which you definitely want to get because you're going to see podcasts going away They are on the podcast index, which does not de-platform anybody and it has a whole bunch of extra features including immediate almost immediate notification within 90 seconds when we publish. And of course the live stuff! Which is new... We're working on a new thing where you can have with a live podcast You can have a playback of The Troll Room I thought that was kind of a cute idea

1:58:14 So if you're listening to the podcast after it's already been done, you can read along what the trolls are saying in the troll room in synchronized fashion. Okay! You're underwhelmed I can tell. It's like a studio audience that talks back. I mean you can see what I see and be fine We run everything here though on value for value, which means we put this out as we have been doing for over 17 years. It's a public service to you. We don't put any restrictions on how you access it why you access it there's no Apple Store tax, no Google Play tax none of that

1:58:56 No, we just let you have it and all we ask for in return is that you support us with your time your talent or your treasure. And one of the many ways that people support us is well boots on the ground I mean wow! We have some of the best producers in the business hands down who tell us exactly what's going on in their field of expertise they are true domain experts unlike a lot of what you'll get mainstream media or even on social media. You never know where those people are coming from, these people are pre-approved by us! And then we have the artists. And the artists come in many fashions, We have people who hand draw art, we have people who still use old school tablets, Wacom tablet maybe even? You think there are a few who use a Wacom tablet? Others use modern pad-tablet like things with electric pencils and then there's the prompt jockeys

1:59:55 It was an interesting conversation we had about the previous episode as we were looking through the art at noagendaartgenerator.com because there was a lot wrong with this art, but it proved to us that it's still about the concept. It doesn't have to be perfect. It's the concept that matters. Yeah, that piece had A lot, a lot wrong. So many AI flaws last night And a lot wrong with it It was a mess But it was attractive, it had good composition The idea was funny and it was a winner This was Darren O'Neill's flying school bus drone

2:00:35 I mean, he literally had some of the propellers weren't even attached to the school bus. They were just there! They were just floating in midair. He must have...I think you should have felt guilty about even submitting it but Well let's look at what we had to choose from Well, you like the one I used for the newsletter. Psy-Op Season? Psy-Op season...I thought it was a good piece of good newsletter piece Now why didn't we choose Psy-Op...well first of all I wanted to call the show Psy-Op Season that was that was That was the reason and the problem with Psy-Op season was the details which were amazing

2:01:11 Were way too small because if you blow it up, you see drones flying around You see McDonald's bags of course referring to hot Luigi the escape tunnel for Assad Had those serious Yeah a little sign escape tunnel this way. It had the Syrian flag Oh I see it yeah and it had all kinds of groovy stuff but it was way too small and You just couldn't see it. And remember, you only get... I mean you get max 256 by 256 on most platforms. It is correct to record species very good piece though Very good piece So i use it for the newsletter because it tends to be all blowed up when you do that Yeah, I actually used it for the bat signal this morning I liked it that much Double use A double use indeed and of course it showed up in the chapters as a lot of the art does In the modern podcast apps Get one at podcastapps.com Hot Luigi

2:02:06 There were some blue books. People put some blue books in there, Darren with a blue book and that was kind of it I'm not quite sure what the comic strip blogger was doing Scare Manga This is a perfect example of the right idea but The concept was wrong It wasn't funny Yes And it was too cartoonish AIE AIE if thats a word There was so he had a school bus but looked more like the Beatles yellow submarine flying in the sky, but with no drone stuff on it. So you know it was the stupidity of the flying school bus that really made it. Thank you very much Darren O'Neill thank you for your contribution thank you to all the artists we appreciate all the work that you do and

2:02:59 I'm pretty sure Correct-A-Record did a lot of hand work here. So he did get double dibs on other stuff though, so at least your work got out there man and i can tell you already there's nothing we want to choose for today's episode. I'm just seeing...I'm just looking yeah somebody needs to come up with something good Yeah this is pretty much nothing good here NoahJenderArtGenerator.com thank y'all very much Now we want to thank our producers who support us financially. We do this for everyone who sends us over $50 for each individual episode, we'd like to thank two groups of people

2:14:11 hour interview with a 38 year old mother from Alabama who accuses Sean Diddy Combs and Shawn Jay-Z Carter of raping her when she was 13 years old. She asked us not to reveal her identity. What made you want to come forward? Because I don't think that I've been quiet long enough. She says she went to the MTV Video Music Awards in 2000, but the woman says she spoke to Combs's limo driver who offered her a ride to an after party. She says at the party she spoke to musician Benji Madden and his brother. into Benji Madden about his tattoo. It's the last supper in a statement to NBC News, A representative for the Maddens confirmed that they did not attend the 2000 VMAs and that they were on tour in the Midwest at that time At the after party she says she had a drink that made her feel woozy then She says Combs and Carter both raped her

2:15:03 She says she ran to a gas station where she called her father who picked her up. We wrote home in silence, he didn't ask me what happened In an interview with NBC News Her father said He could not verify the claims I feel like i would remember that and I don't he said When we asked the woman about the contradictions in a phone interview on Friday She said she stands by her statements I have made some mistakes she said And remembering what happened 24 years ago Honestly What is the clearest Is what happened to me In a statement to NBC News, Sean Carter said this incident didn't happen. True justice is coming we fight from victory not for victory A representative for Combs called the suit a shameless money grab Is any part of you scared? Coming out against such powerful people I'm scared of what could happen but um...I am more afraid of letting it eat me alive From the inside out

Jesse Waters is good for second half Two new revelations from the Trump assassination task force According to their report, the Secret Service agent who spotted Ryan Ruth in the bushes outside Trump's golf course was only five feet away when he opened fire and missed him Not once not twice Six times He missed him six times from five feet How does a trained agent who passed the firearms test miss a target away, five feet away? That's not all. The report says the Secret Service found out at 2 30 in the morning that Trump would be golfing later that day but they didn't secure the course allowing Ruth to camp out for 12 hours before anyone saw him Meanwhile Ruth appeared in federal court this morning and his legal team signaling they're gonna go with the insanity defense

2:17:50 How convenient. Ruth's public defender said he has had multiple meetings with a mental health expert while in jail and the witnesses who saw him before the arrest say he was hallucinating and delusional, of course. Prosecutors also revealed that Ruth has been doing a lot more writing behind bars than initially reported. Ruth has written nearly 40 letters to news outlets in attempt to persuade them that he is an honorable guy but they were intercepted before they reached their targets We also know that only 17 of the 18 cell phones found in Ruth's possession belong to him. Why does he have 18 cell phones? And wait, he has 17 so who owns the last phone and why did Ruth have it?" I love the vapidness of what he does

2:18:39 Yeah, and the thing is I saw that one. That report didn't clip it but there would be interesting part was the cell phones though What what's this guy doing with so many cell phones? Whatever. I have a bunch of cellphones They're just laying around because they're just just I mean old cell phones I mean Is that what they're talking about cuz like you could very few people throw their cellphone out after they go to the next phone if they ever get me It's like and curry had 100 laptops And 27 cell phones, even a flip phone. Yeah and one of them is a mystery well who's that owned by and why has he got it? Yes yes yes we couldn't bring... Well I have a second half-a show clip here Uh oh uh oh uh oh Attention all human resources Now entering second half of show Second half of show everybody standby John C. Dvorak brings the heat

Cliff High, Elohim Worship Cult Theories

Cliff High, known for his work in predictive linguistics, discussed theories regarding an "Elohim worship cult" that allegedly manages humanity for space aliens. High claims that current global chaos is an attempt by this group to prevent Donald Trump from taking office before their "alien masters" return.

cliff high· elohim· trump· predictive linguistics· space aliens

2:19:33 So this is a guy named Cliff High and I recommend people go out and listen to his various reports. I've been on his show! You are on Cliff? He doesn't have a show. Cliff High, yeah. The funny looking guy who has all these theories? Yeah he's Yes, I'm pretty sure I've been on his podcast. Well he has of what did people should look for the melee the 39 days to May Lake show which is special but this is He's discussing it with some other guy Who's who's? He's on his show and they're talking about you know The aliens and a lot of this stuff going on has all been predicted because cliff high

2:20:13 Does mathematics on word usage and he can do predict the future? In some oddball way, he's part of the probably one of the He talks about that Elohim a lot which is some alien race. That's in contact with the humans know that yes That's the biblical Giants They come from the... yes. It's all very, very fun stuff and so yeah it's all it's F It's back. Here we go, and it starts really with your 39 days to melee video Can you just quickly maybe take the first four or five minutes there explain what you had way back when in the data in 2009 how that led to Trump? You and where we are today take that first five minutes close okay so in 2009 We had a forecast of a

2:21:07 Podcasts, podcasts weren't really well known at that point of an unknown president with a podcaster that was going to be a temporal marker for our entering into sci-fi world. It's a temporal marker it just marks things its not a precursor or doesn't mean that you had to happen in order this other stuff would happened. It was just shown in the data as highlighting it and sort of like a signpost on the way right? But anyway, so the temporal marker is a signpost on what was a Trump interview and in there in that data in 2009 was this thing about 39 days later we would have conditions for melee. Melee is when an organized contention breaks down into everybody fighting everybody else with whatever is at hand last man standing wins that kind of thing

2:21:56 It's not a good outcome, not a good situation. We now in that 39 days was after the temporal marker and so that would have been December 3rd and sure enough pretty much on schedule all of the organized contention around these drones and UFOs and all of that kind of stuff started rising up as well as the other organized contention within the humanity with, you know, the Elohim worship cult doing all of the color revolution in Georgia and getting everything head up in Korea and all this kind of stuff. Right? They're doing everything they can to create chaos in order to hopefully get enough chaos that Trump can't come in. That's my supposition. Okay, that's why I think they're doing it. There may be deeper issues there though.

2:22:47 I miss the grid going down and does he bring up project blue beam? No, he doesn't. Well maybe later in this but I don't have the clip of it but yeah this is all about Trump somehow that's his theory and so he can't get in because we've heard you know this goes right in there with the grid going down Yeah And all the rest of it and Jamie Raskin who has got rules that they know they can... Yeah We can get him, we can impeach him He will never get in We'll stop them from coming into office We're not gonna ratify him Yes Part two? Yeah, clip to it also be as above so below as we're having contention in space. Maybe that it's somehow translating What is the contention and space again? I guess they talk about this on some other podcast this guy There's a war going on in space and so if you know as above as below

2:23:43 that it's somehow translated into anything else? I don't see it that way. I could see as above, so below only in the sense that the Elohim worship cult believe themselves to be chosen by the Elohim their space gods to rule humanity This cult believes that they have the right to farm humanity. This cult also knows that they have to report to these space aliens, and if the space aliens come back... The cult in my opinion is afraid that if the space aliens come back and see their herd which is humanity in such disarray that they would take it out on the herd management guys, the Elohim worship cult

2:24:24 Okay, so it may be that at that level but its sort of a cover your ass kind of thing. Yeah bring back the gay TikTok clips! That's better. Okay do you have any analysis? So you were on this guys show? I'm pretty sure yeah Cliff High Talking about what the Elohim? No, about no agenda. It's you know same thing now I didn't talk about the Elohim. I'm pretty sure let me see it sir isn't the higher higher chats. I think this is as his podcast

Defamation Law, Libel vs Slander Explained

A guide on the differences between libel (written) and slander (spoken) highlights the legal risks of defamation on social media. The distinction between private and public figures is crucial, as public figures face a higher burden of proof when seeking damages for reputational harm.

defamation· libel· slander· public figures· forbes

2:25:02 I don't keep track of these things. Yeah, higher side chats. There you go the higher side chats. Higher side chats? I think so maybe it sounds like some chat where they spoke a lot about marijuana during the... yeah i think that was the context on my appearance on the show its been awhile at least couple years Anyway, you sent me an interesting article which I've put into the show notes. I think it's important particularly for people who are interested in doing local podcasts which I mentioned that and hundreds of people have requested my primer on how to do that hyperlocal.noagendanotes.com send me an email send it to if you probably forget

2:25:48 And he's the Forbes advisor on libel versus slander. And I thought that was really good that you sent that to me and also, I think it's good that people understand the difference and how they actually need to be careful themselves. I think even on social media you probably have to be careful with this. Yes, yes absolutely as it hasn't happened much yet but at some point as people get more people enter social media the likelihood of slandering somebody is higher. Now, explain the difference... You'll get sued. Explain the difference between libel and slander first? Well one is just this same thing that real problem here is not libel or slander. One is in print and one is verbal. Right. Libel I believe it's print and slander is verbal but the overall problem is called defamation

2:26:49 And that's where the lawsuits come in. So whether you libel somebody or slander them, it doesn't make any difference what you do. You can be sued for defamation and there's rationale for all that. It was in the show notes people should read this. People who are doing a lot of social media or who have big mouths and like to talk, they like to slander people literally They should read this and know that you're putting yourself up for targeting. I think the big important piece here is public versus private figures, that's really a key thing here

CHAPTER 36 / 45 Discussion

George Stephanopoulos, ABC News Defamation Settlement

ABC News and George Stephanopoulos reached a $15 million settlement with Donald Trump after the anchor repeatedly claimed Trump was found liable for "rape" during an interview with Nancy Mace. While a jury found Trump liable for sexual abuse in the E. Jean Carroll case, they did not find him liable for rape under New York law.

george stephanopoulos· abc news· donald trump· nancy mace· e. jean carroll

2:27:29 It's an element, yes. Yeah I mean it's a lot more leeway. Because even Trump... Okay so we can play this clip since you brought it up. I already had it lined up but okay You have your own version of it? I have Trump versus ABC Yes that's probably the same Oh! You've got a very short clip okay well we'll play your clip let's see here we go ABC News and anchor George Stephanopoulos settled a defamation lawsuit with Donald Trump for $15 million that will be paid to Trump's future presidential foundation and museum, plus a million dollars to his lawyer along with an apology.

2:28:06 Trump sued, claiming Stephanopoulos and the network defamed him when the anchor said a jury found Trump civilly liable for raping E. Jean Carroll The writer whose case is against Trump led to him being found liable for sexual assault and defamation but neither verdict involved a finding of rape as defined under New York law Trump is appealing both Carroll verdicts Yeah my clip I want to play because it's a little bit longer but its reported by Brian Seltzer-Water which I think is funny Oh, yes play it has some some clips of the actual slander. Yeah I'm sorry go ahead but before you play that I had didn't clip it But I have the clip I posted on Twitter anyone who follows me The entire interview with Nancy Mace which I thought she did a great job of like pushing back Actually have the the clip in the show notes if anyone wants to yes It's a good clip and I would say that

2:29:03 Stepanopoulos said that he raped, that Trump was a rapist. They said 10 times but I counted about 14 and he kept doing it over and over and over again then later Stepanopoulos found out they were being sued and went on the Colbert show and said it again! Yes! I mean Disney's...I don't understand how this guy has a job? I'm thinking didn't Joy Bayhard also say something about he's a rapist convicted rapists. There was there was something there also an ABC show Well, actually well first let's play this ABC is out of control

2:29:42 Breaking news into CNN. ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos has reached a settlement with President-elect Donald Trump in his defamation suit, the lawsuit stemming from an interview that Stephanopoulos did with Congresswoman Nancy Mace where he asserted Trump was found liable for rape in a civil case The network will pay out $16 million as part of that settlement and have to issue an apology. CNN chief media analyst Brian Stelter joining me, and Brian this is actually a lawsuit with ABC News the Network and Stephanopoulos what else can you tell us about this? That's right. It is not every day that you hear about a major network, a TV network paying millions of dollars and apologizing to the president-elect so this is a headline with real ramifications and as you said it stems from an episode of George Stephanopoulos' Sunday morning news program where he was talking with a lawmaker I think it was Nancy Mace they were talking about the Eugene Carroll case

2:30:42 And George Stephanopoulos repeatedly used the word rape, saying Trump was found guilty of rape. Liable for rape. Well in fact the accurate phrase he uses is sexual abuse that is what the New York court found but because Stephanopoulos kept using that R-word, rape Trump filed a lawsuit and filed a defamation suit. Why don't we count them? I have the clip here let's count it because it was really egregious It wasn't just once or twice Should we count them you want to ring the bell We can try. Who's been shamed for years now because of her rape you're trying to shame me again my ass You've repeated that again. I think it's offensive as a woman I find her I find it offensive My political choices, I have endorsed the man that I believe is best for our country It's not Joe Biden and he looked at the dueling rallies yesterday in Georgia Lake and Riley's family was with Donald Trump They weren't with Joe Biden The same guy yesterday that apologized for calling her killer and illegal who wasn't illegal? And here you are

2:31:56 are trying to shame a rape victim, I find it disgusting. You keep saying that you're shaming me... You are! It is. How is the question asking about a presidential candidate who's been... You're asking your rape victim. And there's no question about that? And you courageously talked about this. No, I'm questioning your political choices because you're supporting someone who has been found liable for rape. Actually, I am not trying to shame you. That's exactly what you're doing and I think it's disgusting Well, you're welcome to say that but you also have to answer the question. Why are supporting someone who's been found liable for rape? I just answered your question What is the answer He was not he was not found guilty in a civil and a criminal court of law It was sexual abuse it wasn't actually rape

2:32:39 way and Eugene Carroll joked about all the money she's going to get and made a mockery out of this case. I didn't hear that many, maybe it was more of the clip when he kept going on but i just remember... No they kept going on, I got five so far but at the end he kept saying it and then at the end when they changed the topic if you played the extended clip, he brought it up two more times. And then he brought it up on Colbert. I mean the lawsuit was... Now this is the reason we want to talk about this because as you mentioned there's a difference between private and public figures only to a point. You can't accuse people that... The funny thing kind of a kicker in there is you can't... It also

2:33:28 defamation to say someone has a disease. Yes, which is very... people just don't get that but to say somebody has it now can the TikTok guy at McDonald's because you said he was gay if he's not gay can he sue you for that? He's pretending to be gay. And he would take it as a compliment There was nothing defamatory about it and I don't use gay as a defamatory epithet. Descriptive, descriptive

Megyn Kelly, Caitlin Clark White Privilege Critique

Megyn Kelly criticized WNBA star Caitlin Clark for acknowledging "white privilege" after being named Time's Athlete of the Year. Kelly argued that Clark has been bullied and physically assaulted by other players in the league and should have remained above racial politics.

megyn kelly· caitlin clark· wnba· white privilege· indiana fever

2:34:04 Yeah, it's just descriptive in this regard. He was flamboyant and he was just being gay. Didn't have his husband to hook him on the whole thing but there are moments where there are certain kinds of things you have to be careful about and podcasters especially should be wary but social media people doing these short clips they can get in trouble So it's a good thing to read over at least so you have some familiarity with the problem. Well, Megan Kelly is kind of adjacent... The stuff she finds important She's all upset about Caitlin Clark Do you follow WNBA? Yeah You like it? No I think what..I follow it only because I watch sports shows and they bring it up

2:34:56 Not that I'm a bigot about it, but I find women's basketball to be boring. People like to watch it, but is it women's basketball? I don't know. Currently the NBA... In fact, I don't even like basketball as much anymore because of the anti-Trumpian nature of it. Right and China owns it Yes, China owns it. People kowtowed to China But this is an example of what Megyn Kelly is doing and I just find a bizarre people really What is she doing? Here you go we need to talk about Caitlin Clark no We don't that's like move on In fact you you mentioning her as the first time has ever been mentioned in the show in 18 years exactly so Caitlin Clarke

2:35:44 of Iowa, but now playing for Indiana in the WNBA gets honored in time as the athlete of the year. I don't know. I guess they need a lot of covers or something on it whatever I get that they just want people who are going to sell their shitty magazine so she gets elected as athlete of the year. And what does Caitlin Clark do? Like this woman who's a superstar, she's the Michael Jordan of the WNBA and she's become a phenom in part because the players at the WNBA can't fucking stand her. Why? Because she's white. She drops a lot of F-bombs too Megan. Yes this is recent that...she's gone just the opposite direction than most podcasters you know

2:36:30 Podcasters, generally speaking they get especially ones that came out of broadcasting. They first go into podcast and they cuss a lot people notice this Cus-cus-cuss guy and then they start to back off because they get people like hey My kids are listening in the show come on now exactly And so they start to cuss less and which is normal process she goes in the other direction She has never cussed before now she's cussing All the time? Like a trucker, I mean what is the point. It's abject absolute racism it's total racism

2:37:06 And one of the things that's been admirable about Caitlin is she just continues to play her game and put points on the board. And she does very well, and she wins games, and she puts butts in the seats, and she sells tickets, and she gets people tuning in on television. All really we want to hear from anybody about this is thank you. Thank you to Caitlin Clark for making our league relevant and so on. But instead, she's been bullied repeatedly by the players in this league. She's been assaulted physically. She's been scratched in the eye and I mean we've all of us is on camera. We've covered it repeatedly on the show. So she gets this honor and all she has to do is continue staying above it. Thank you. I'm grateful love being in the WNBA and I love my colleagues who I played with my teammates that's

2:37:54 Instead, she decides to go racial. And what she says is that she feels the need to acknowledge her white privilege. Basically, she's sorry she's white. That's what Megyn Kelly is doing It is kind of funny now there was a funny meme that I put into the last newsletter. I hope people saw it It was very it was a Caitlin Clark meme they would Babylon be phony headline It was very humorous, and I would hope people would subscribe to the newsletter so they can see some of these memes that I put up and

Time Magazine, Person of the Year Donald Trump

Time Magazine named Donald Trump its Person of the Year for 2024, a move criticized by Joy Reid, who compared the selection to past winners like Hitler and Stalin. The magazine, owned by Marc Benioff, featured an extensive profile of Trump that some critics found to be largely composed of journalistic speculation.

time magazine· donald trump· person of the year· marc benioff· joy reid

2:38:34 Yeah, that's the Caitlin Clarke story. The whole thing is dumb. Yeah it is I'm sorry brought it up actually. Did you read the Time Person of the Year article about Trump? I did not read the article Well let's ask Joy Reid about it But we begin tonight with a dream of a boy from Queens New York This boy wanted so desperately to impress those on the other side of the East River in Manhattan, to be accepted by its elites. One way to achieve that was to be featured on the covers of major magazines most especially to be Time Magazine's Person Of The Year Well, today Donald Trump celebrated securing that distinction for a second time. As Time Magazine describes it, For 97 years the editors of Time have been picking the person of the year –the individual who, for better or worse did most to shape the world and headlines over the past 12 months In many years that choice is difficult one in 2024 it was not

2:39:32 The key line, for better or for worse, is not much of a ringing endorsement. And we all know which one Trump falls under. And let's remember who else has been given this title in years past in the same category—Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Ayatollah Khomeini and Vladimir Putin? In fact, Stalin won the distinction twice just like Trump! But it seems Time magazine must have a real special place in Trump's heart because he wants not only made a fake time cover with his face on it He hung at a number of his golf clubs Oh, man. So this this Time Magazine? It was it was really interesting Now is Reed Hoffman owns time he and his wife owned Time Magazine they bought Time Magazine

2:40:17 And I actually heard a pretty interesting interview. He's kind of, strangely enough somewhat agnostic about Trump. He's like you know i'll work with trump, I work with the president... Of course he's got a lot of AI stuff going on so we can't go really too hard against him but this article was all was pretty much a bunch of journalists got together or writers and just wrote all the stuff that they said about Trump, and then kept saying you know you watch it's gonna happen. And he's a narcissist... They interviewed him but there was maybe three lines from Trump in the entire 25 minutes to read It was bizarre! You should really read it. Nah I probably won't.

Agentic AI, Salesforce Marketing Shift

Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff is pivoting the company's marketing toward "Agentic AI," focusing on autonomous agents that can handle emails and calls. This shift comes as the broader industry faces skepticism regarding the limitations of generative AI and the "bubble" surrounding quantum computing.

salesforce· marc benioff· agentic ai· quantum computing· google

2:41:06 You know, and Reid Hoffman. He's now leading the AI revolution John with a new term which I think this will be the only thing that AI will do for the business community you ready for it? I didn't know he was leading anything but okay Oh with Salesforce oh yes salesforce they're all about AIs But Salesforce isn't Reid Hoffman What am I thinking? Reid Hoffman is Netflix. Wrong guy, wrong guy! I'm sorry not Reid Hoffman the other guy with the other what's his name yeah they got run Salesforce that's who you were talking about all along and he owns time yes i forgot what's his name I think he sold time by no no no he knows why now that you brought read Hoffman a got him in my brain I can't get the other guys name I just had to cut it like they just send an email to recently

2:41:58 Mark Benioff. Oh, it's Jairam will get a Benioff. Mark Benioff. Yeah okay sorry Reid Hoffman what am I thinking? Mark Benioff but yes he... Mark Benioff is not completely agnostic he's a Democrat he supports the Democrat Party. I heard an interview with him and he was very positive about Trump Well, he could be because the valley is becoming positive. That's exactly what I said! Because of his AI and he even says Salesforce invented most of AI. I got to pull some clips from that interview. We've been doing AI for 18 years, he said. I gotta pull some clips from that interview but the term here's what salesforce is selling which is hilarious ready? Agentic AI

2:42:44 What does that mean? It's smart agents. Agentic. Oh, agentic as in agents. Yes so agents will chat with you, agents will call you, agents will email you and they're doing away with all the previous AI, the anonymous Indians now it's agentic AI So we've downgraded now from general intelligence to generated intelligent, generative intelligence to now agentic because it's not working and I see more and more articles about quantum. Google has stuck a little as stuck a wrench into the works

2:43:30 You know, there... The chip that doesn't work but is interdimensional? That chip. Yes! The chip that goes into outer space somehow and finds another dimension does the calculation there and brings it back? It's dynamite! It's dynamite! Right. Ah, the bubble is gonna pop! The bubble for quantum is gonna pop for sure. Oh well but first, the BBC was all upset with Apple this this is great They said, we don't like what your Apple intelligence has done. It has the emojis? No them so Apple Intelligence will pop up alerts news alerts from different organizations such as the BBC but then their Apple intelligence for your benefit will make a little summary of the headlines

She was transferred about two hours away to the medical center at Landstuhl Army Base to undergo hip replacement surgery Saturday morning. A Pelosi spokesman said she was well on the mend and she thanked the U.S military staff for their care. And where was that report from?

2:46:02 Uh, that report was some NPR. Oh man! They didn't have any audio of Nancy? No they just gave the straight up news. My report has audio of Nancy... Well play your report then I've fallen and i can get up! Alright, I fell right into it like an idiot. Man I had to wait for two hours and 45 minutes to do that gag. The big gag!

Libby App Critique, Corporate Library Contracts

A follow-up on the Libby app revealed that the service, owned by private equity firms like KKR, often charges libraries inflated prices for metered access to e-books. Critics argue that while convenient for users, the app funnels taxpayer dollars to corporations through restrictive subscription models for digital content.

libby app· overdrive· kkr· rakuten· library budgets

3:02:14 I feel obligated to read this because we care a lot about our producers and we have just amazing talent everywhere in every field. And, I have a note from the anonymous No Agenda librarian about the Libby app so this is not to detract from your tip of the day but when you mentioned it I remember she had sent a note in couple weeks back. I guess that Libby app came up on the show not as a tip-of-the-day and I'd like to share what she said The Libby app is a great way to shovel residents' tax dollars into corporations' coffers. The Libby app is paid for by your local library whose budget is paid for by taxes. Libraries pay at least three times the consumer price for e-books and audio books. Popular titles are metered access, meaning libraries have to pay that inflated price every two years to provide continued access to those books!

3:03:13 From the library patron side, Libby's parent company Overdrive used to be good. But then it was bought by a couple of VC firms including Rakuten and now KKR. Overdrive has been buying up and gutting competitors in the digital library market." So... Okay, well there's that. But the tip of the day was actually the Linked Plus program that you just led me to. Yes. So we can take the Libby app and throw it away? Yeah. KKR also bought... They're horrible! They bought Canvas LMS which is a very interesting product I talked about in the newsletter

3:04:00 Oh, yes. The Blue Book guys! No no no the anti-Blue Book guys. Yes sorry. Canvas LMS which is a learning management system turns out to be according to our contact at University of Pennsylvania it's used in all the universities it is an online learning system and as a system that they take notes like It really encompasses a lot of stuff that when I was a kid, it was never even something you could dream about. But it's fascinating what's going on and I sent you a link to the award-winning educational software... There are million companies in this business! We're completely missing

3:04:46 The missing the boat on this information. Huge exit strategy we've missed once again! Well I don't know what exit strategy we can do with this, it's like two guys...I think late to the game would be the theme No kidding? That'd be the name of the company But yes, there's a lot going on that we need to make everyone aware of. I'm just amazed how digital books were supposed to be great the whole world at your fingertips and now a library who used to just lend out a book and then you bring the book back and they can lend it out now they have to keep paying for the same book over and over again on a subscription basis The Internet has not improved things in my opinion Well allowed us to do this show

3:05:32 Well, well that's... there's that. Although we could have done it on ISDN Yeah we could've done it on ISDN and we could be pivoting We could pull in the big bucks 10 million dollars easily Your No Agenda Tip of the Day Created by Dana Brunetti That's it everybody go to tipoftheday.net or noagendafund.com Create a blast for you and me Just the tip with JCD And sometimes Adam I need your jingles, John. Maybe Dana will contact me when you do one of the jingles for his... I have a gem For his creation? I'm sure you do You'll hear it next Sunday

3:10:24 You will get nothing and be happy. Another tradition is the leaving of cookies and milk for Santa. These cookies must be 100% vegan, and the milk must be soy milk! Under ESG there will be no more cow milk, and of course no more meat. You may also leave for Santa cookies made with the cricket flour and a glass of cockroach milk but even I will not eat this you will eat this maybe not this year Maybe not next year, but we still have plenty of time to implement Agenda 2030. So now is the opportunity for giving the hugs, exchanging the gifts and eating the ham! Make the most of your unsustainable freedom while you still got it!
