About this episode

Vice President J.D. Vance and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky clashed at the Munich Security Conference over the future of NATO expansion and the control of Ukraine’s rare earth mineral reserves. Vance delivered a sharp rebuke of European immigration and speech policies while Zelensky blocked a strategic mineral deal, citing a lack of concrete security guarantees from the Trump administration. The standoff highlights a growing rift as European leaders like Mark Rutte and Kaja Kallas grapple with demands for increased defense spending and the potential formation of an independent European army.

Domestic tensions escalated as the Department of Justice dismissed corruption charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams, triggering the immediate resignation of acting U.S. Attorney Danielle Sassoon. In Chicago, protests erupted at Lurie Children’s Hospital following a presidential executive order halting gender-affirming surgeries for minors, while the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) claimed to have identified $2.7 trillion in improper Medicare payments. Meanwhile, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. used his swearing-in ceremony to announce RICO investigations into the pharmaceutical industry and medical boards that de-license dissenting physicians.

John C. Dvorak and Adam Curry break down the rhetorical power of hypophora as a tool for media manipulation and psychological control. The duo also explores the technical failures behind a Blackhawk helicopter collision and the discovery of ice-resistant grease in polar bear fur. The session concludes with a formal knighting ceremony for Maddie Hawk and Craig Cortese as the show maintains its independent, listener-supported production model.

San Francisco Sinking, NASA and NOAA Study

San Francisco and parts of Los Angeles are reportedly sinking at a rate of 0.4 inches per year according to a study led by NASA and NOAA. Media outlets like the Epoch Times have linked this subsidence to concerns over accelerating sea level rise and climate change. While some areas are sinking, others situated on solid rock in the East Bay remain stable.

Constitutional Crisis Media Narrative, 2017-2025 Compilation

Mainstream media outlets have consistently utilized the phrase "constitutional crisis" to describe political events involving Donald Trump from 2017 through early 2025. A compilation of news clips demonstrates the repetitive nature of this rhetoric used by pundits and politicians like Nancy Pelosi. Critics argue this persistent scripting across networks and podcasts serves to foment public anxiety rather than provide new analysis.

constitutional crisis· mainstream media· nancy pelosi· donald trump· impeachment

02:37 If you lived in Massachusetts, I've been to Massachusetts. You don't want to live there That's what I said and no offense but dude a lot of rainbow flags in Massachusetts It's out of control it is a bit out control yeah so I just wanted to Give everybody a little overview of the mainstream media from the past week. It's 30 seconds New warnings of a constitutional crisis just weeks into Trump second term and the stage is set for a Constitutional crisis could this signal the start of a constitutional crisis legal experts say our country could be headed toward a constitutional crisis

03:17 They're calling this a constitutional crisis. This is a constitutional crisis? I am unapologetic in suggesting we are in a constitutional crisis right now Are we already in a constitutional crisis? Those two words, right? Constitutional crisis So when people hear us say about four more years and we just say we're basically in our final four years... ...I want you to understand this is the reason This was today, 2025. This is 2020. Warnings of an impending constitutional crisis ripped through the nation's capital. There are experts who are saying this is a constitutional crisis. We are at a dangerous time in our history, a constitutional crisis that

03:58 That probably is the most severe moment since the Civil War. This is 2019! We're now like one subway stop from a real constitutional crisis. We are in, in effect, a constitutional crisis. Constitutional crisis we're hearing it over and over again Nancy Pelosi has already said that Donald Trump is unfit for office She said that he belongs in prison she says that were in a constitutional crisis If that's not enough to begin an impeachment inquiry, then what on earth is? Here's 2018. A constitutional crisis possibly The Constitutional Crisis alarm bells are ringing But is anybody listening? And 2017 might be on the path to a constitutional crisis. We will ask two experts about whether or not this is a constitutional crisis. We've never faced quite the constitutional crisis that we do right now They are fomenting a constitutional crisis Are we staring down the barrel of a constitutional crisis This is an existential constitutional crisis People, get a new script! We're bored already

04:58 These people. This is it! It's like, oh okay... They can't seem to come up with any new- I mean if they would just get the do a real job instead of just coming up with this and this is the whole mainstream media The whole thing has corrupted Well not just main- It's hopeless Not just mainstream media but its leaking through to podcasts Yes it does well everything yes because some podcast are nothing more than a wannabe extension of the mainstream media. I present you Jon Stewart in conversation with Jen Pisaki! But the overwhelming majority has been, we are sleepwalking into a constitutional crisis again taking the bait... By the way i realize why Jon Stewart's podcast sucks so bad and this is actually a funny bit without him actually knowing it

CHAPTER 03 / 40 Discussion

Jon Stewart Podcast, Jen Psaki Interview Critique

Jon Stewart's podcast performance is criticized for a perceived inability to ad-lib effectively compared to his scripted work. In a recent episode, Stewart interviewed Jen Psaki regarding the Trump administration's potential cuts to USAID and the State Department. Psaki argued that Democrats should focus their messaging on how these programs support early childhood education and Medicaid rather than defending government institutions generally.

jon stewart· jen psaki· usaid· state department· ad-libbing

05:47 John Stewart is great at delivering scripted lines. I mean, he does them so smooth... He's just perfect at it! Yeah, he's a pro. He's an incredible pro but when he just has to add lib, he can't do it He doesn't it's it doesn't come out right? It's all wrong and listen to this the larger thing and not defending the efficiency or value of The programs I would take it just one step farther as an eye. I worked at State Department I think USAID is a tremendous institution. I don't think you should be a front-and-center top messaging argument. Should people in Congress defend and use every lever of their power to prevent the Trump administration from gutting it? Yes, because they play a pivotal role around the world cracking down on corruption, defending a free press...a million things! But I guess when it comes to how the Democrats are communicating with the public

06:42 The things that the Trump administration are doing, that they should be talking about more in my view are getting access to people's personnel information. Their social security data. Anybody who has applied for a government job, that is millions of people halting programs, which a judge this week said they haven't actually put back in place all of the funding halts. Halting of the funding that they said they had. You know government's not popular as you well know Congress is not popular. Why would why would that be? I don't know. Institution's not popular, so if you're trying to reach people who are like government Washington then talk about how this program that's being cut off is helping your kids have early childhood education it's helping you get Medicaid access it's helping you farmers have subsidies wait for obvious gen why are they not doing

07:36 I wish i knew the answer to that question. That is the most painful sigh, I have ever heard! Self-realization all of a sudden because it's no good Why can't they why is it so hard for them to just say yeah? It's probably not no good They can't. They can't and by the way I wanted just not to change the subject but my clean tech uh clean tech Clean feed you're right the fonts have all changed now I got last on the list, I guess. It's kind of an odd font it says a little more no more bold don't you know Helvetica style? It's a European style yeah they're from the UK so Yeah, I'd say the big news the big news the big big big big big big news is everything's happening in in Munich It's all in me yes. I have a whole series of Munich clips are they from NTD and

CHAPTER 04 / 40 Discussion

Munich Security Conference, J.D. Vance and Zelensky Meeting

Vice President J.D. Vance attended the Munich Security Conference, where he met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and leaders of Germany’s AFD party. Vance delivered a speech scolding European allies for retreating from fundamental values and criticized their immigration policies. While European leaders expressed confusion over mixed messages regarding U.S. troop deployment and NATO membership for Ukraine, Vance maintained that NATO expansion remains a core issue of the conflict.

munich security conference· j.d. vance· volodymyr zelensky· nato· afd party

08:35 I think they're from PBS. Oh, well good because the NTD stuff is just a little harsh sometimes but yeah there's I got this four clips and then some anal clips Everyone has to understand that John titles his clips and he puts in their Munich Overview and then overview anal which I think stands for analysis. Analysis, yeah what else would it mean? Well you can just put in analysis it's kind of jarring... It's too long! You know because when I print it out I have the time over one side. It is just the way your mind works everyone knows everyone agrees it's okay

09:21 I'd like an overview because there's so much going on. What is happening? Are we are we going to war, is NATO involved... what's happening?! I think this is a pretty good overview. Today in Munich, Vice President J.D. Vance met with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky and with German political leaders including the head of the far-right AFD party. Oh f**k they forgot to say extreme right! Ah boy... That latter meeting came after Vance spoke at the Munich Security Conference It's usually focused on Western adversaries. Vance instead critiqued America's European allies Nick Schifrin is in Munich again for us tonight

10:00 In front of a mostly European audience anxious for reassurance, today Vice President Vance delivered a scolding. What I worry about is the threat from within. The retreat of Europe from some of its most fundamental values. World leaders were hoping for clarity on the administration's plans for Ukraine instead Vance expressed implicit support for right-wing parties including Germany's AFD whose leader he met this afternoon and who has been endorsed by Elon Musk That is kind of disingenuous what he really said was people don't like your immigration It wasn't just sitting there endorsing. He also complained about free speech Yes, but here the BBS is saying he endorsed far-right parties

10:47 It's not just let me just no I'm just saying that yeah this is no this This is slanted of course it's slanted. Of course, bbs of course including Germany's AFD Let's go back here Instead Vance expressed implicit support for right-wing parties including germany's afd Implicit support whose leader he met this afternoon and who's been endorsed by Elon Musk If American democracy can survive ten years of Greta Thunberg scolding, you guys can survive a few months of Elon Musk. It's too bad he flubbed that line because it was a good one Yeah... He knew it was good This happens to me, this happens to you Yes! Oh all the time

11:23 You have a, you know it's a good line. You know if you deliver it properly gonna get its gonna come home and then you blow it and this is I've seen that you see this all the time so he knew it was a good line. Yeah and it fell so flat because... He choked! Greta-Greta oh no If American democracy can survive 10 years of Greta Thunberg's holding you guys can survive a few months of Elon Musk By the way just on Greta Thunberg It's interesting how everyone is complaining about the teenage Doge team, but yet hundreds of billions of climate change dollars were all based on the 15-year old Greta Thunberg. Right, who uneducated and didn't even go to school because she was protesting all the time. Just saying! What no democracy American German or European will survive

12:14 is telling millions of voters that their thoughts and concerns, their aspirations, their pleas for relief are invalid or unworthy of even being considered. Yeah Bill that's right That is a very implicit endorsement of the far-right They're missing it because Europe is now saying extreme right they've changed that narrative Extreme They're freaked Of course they're freaked rightly so Onward, next. Vance portrayed Europe as silencing critical and conservative voices including by recently throwing out Romanian elections over Russian misinformation If you're running in fear of your own voters there is nothing America can do for you But in a new Wall Street Journal interview Vance embraced Europe's position on Ukraine that the West could increase sanctions on Moscow and even deploy US troops inside Ukraine to reach peace

13:11 Good afternoon, everybody. And hours later Vance met with Ukraine's delegation in a meeting that a senior Ukrainian official described to PBS NewsHour as quote very good. We want to achieve a durable lasting peace not the kind of peace that is going to have Eastern Europe in conflict just a couple years down the road. European leaders tell PBS NewsHour they're confused by what they consider mixed US messages on Ukraine, including those repeated today by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth during a visit to Poland. The reality that returning to 2014 borders as part of a negotiated settlement is unlikely. The reality of U.S. troops in Ukraine is unlikely.

13:57 membership in NATO as a part of the negotiated settlement, unlike German defense minister Boris Pistorius. I think this was careless and I think it was mistake by my view that would have been much better to talk about Ukraine's possible NATO membership and possibly territorial changes at the negotiating really first and then with Ukraine present not with them already having Putin's price hanging over them and European leaders continue to doubt that peace with Putin is possible. Peace with Putin is possible? President Putin says he's willing to meet, but on what terms? I had good conversation with the president Trump we had some phone calls and he had a call with Putin and he said to me I think that he wants to solve the war I said him that he's a liar It's amazing first of all this

14:50 Zelensky, man. It's like he's got a different story every 10 minutes and when did this NATO membership come back? Everyone knows that's a non-starter I have no idea why they keep pushing it That's the whole problem! It is the problem Yeah and Vance was very clear I mean i'm sure you had the clip Vance said it was more clear Like no... The solution does not lie with Ukraine being having NATO membership. That's it! And that was the problem since 2014, the whole thing started with the expansion of NATO. That's it and they're just... Do you think that they're sniffing their own farts? They really believe that this is possible? I have no idea what they're thinking because unless they kick United States out of NATO we can just veto it

CHAPTER 05 / 40 Discussion

European Army Proposal, Zelensky and Lisbon Treaty

President Volodymyr Zelensky has called for the creation of an independent European armed forces, signaling a shift in the long-standing security relationship between Europe and America. This proposal revives debates surrounding the Lisbon Treaty, which critics claim originally promised that a unified European army would never be formed. The discussion suggests that the European Central Bank and other technocratic structures are moving toward centralized military power.

european army· volodymyr zelensky· lisbon treaty· european union· mark rutte

15:45 You know the thing about NATO, you can't get in unless everybody says yes. Yeah right right so you can say whatever you want we're the boss of them there was an alternative that just to get off this track for just one second there's an alternative clip of Zelensky uh this is the talk Zelensky clip Oh, yes good. I asked President Trump Mr.. President Why did you talk to Russian? president Vladimir Putin before talking to me and doesn't sound like AI at all I'm so convinced looking to me and President Trump said he wanted to talk to the tallest one first And then the shortest I was not happy about this Then I told him that I want to create a European army And then he asked me if it was an army of short little midgets like me

16:33 And I did not like that either. All right, since you went down that track, I have to play a couple of clips before we get back to the overview because this is, I think what it's really all about and we should probably look at your anal clips based upon this. This is the true the real Zelensky or this 10-minute Zelensky about the European army. The Ukrainian president, though, characteristically blunt. Decades of the old relationship between Europe and America are ending from now on things will be different and Europe needs to adjust to that I really believe that time has come the armed forces of Europe must be created

17:20 The armed forces of Europe must be created. Now, we have talked about this since the beginning of the show I was in Europe and then later in the UK when the Lisbon Treaty was signed We all remember how that went Ireland you voted wrong do over vote again And so I think Holland did the same thing if not mistaken they voted wrong way first Was it Holland or France? I think it was one of the two. It was mainly Ireland. The point is that these countries, if they didn't vote right... Yeah then they re-voted. They kept making them do it over and over until they finally came to power. That's how democracy works! Do you not understand democracy?!

18:03 And there were three main promises for this Lisbon Treaty which was the so-called constitution of the European Union. One was no more passports, it's great everybody can walk to the borders you don't need to show your papers anymore and if someone comes in illegally from another country they can walk into your country too it's great! That second part they didn't actually promise, but it was implied. The second promise you'll all have the same money! It's fantastic no more Gilder, no more Deutschmark, no more francs... No, you'll have the euro it's great overnight 100% inflation coffee went from two gilders to four guilders in euros and the third was we will never have a good bit by the way yeah but it's true

18:51 I know, and Italy really hit it hard. Oh they got really bad! People couldn't afford their espresso in the morning And the third promise was we'll never have a European army no no... well there's actually there was another one which was will never have European central finance Noooo we'll never do that That's encroaching very quickly basically the European Central Bank already makes it a fact but we'll never have a European army I think that what is happening now, and I have a Redux clip from 2015. So it's 10 years ago and we've been following this and there are couple other clips but this is the best one.

CHAPTER 06 / 40 Discussion

NATO Burden Sharing, Mark Rutte and Nigel Farage

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte has urged European nations to stop complaining and present concrete proposals for increased defense spending. Historical footage of Nigel Farage from 2015 highlights long-standing warnings that the EU intended to use territorial expansion in Ukraine as a pretext for militarization. Analysts suggest the U.S. may support a separate EU army to reduce the American financial burden and address trade deficits.

nato· mark rutte· nigel farage· defense spending· military-industrial complex

19:35 complex, that's American weapons manufacturers in general. Germany has a little bit Sweden makes some planes not unimportant but really you know if you want things to go boom and pshhwoooshhh and pssshhhhh that comes from us So the NATO thing is kind of a non-starter because you know it's like these guys they don't want to pay. You know we've got our guy, definitely our guy Mark Rutte over there saying look you must have 5% otherwise if you do a European army it will be 8 or possibly 10 or more percents when they heard that which I think is the total setup

20:15 They're like, yeah let's goad those guys into it. And this has been on deck with people who have been paid off by big military contractors for over a decade This is Nigel Farage when he was still a member of European Parliament And this is right after the 2014 coup that Victoria Nuland, John Brennan, Lindsey Graham, John McCain all these suckers they all orchestrated this and there was a big setup to ultimately either result in more money being spent by the EU into NATO armaments or just get them to start their own army. That's fine with us too, as long as we get more money." I've been wondering why David Cameron has been slashing our armed forces won't commit to 2% is happy for us not to be able to defend our islands? I think Mr Juncker has given us the answer! We're going to do it at an EU level and have

21:11 European army. Now when I raised this last year with the Deputy Prime Minister, Liberal Democrat Nick Clegg he said it was a dangerous fantasy to even talk about an EU army. I hope every Liberal Democrat voter has heard Mr Behofstadt today the leader of the European Liberals crying out for militarisation at an EU level Of course the truth is it's already happening We already have a European Defence Agency. We already have EU battle groups on active service all over the world, we already have an EU Navy active against the Somali pirates and who can forget Eurocorps here in Strasbourg last year virtually goose-stepping that ghastly flag round the courtyard outside! And of course the Lisbon Treaty Article 28 provides for all this. Tony Blair was right

22:05 He said the European Union is not a project about peace, it's a project about power. And I think Mr Juncker is trying to seize on an opportunity We ourselves in the European Union provoked the conflict through our territorial expansionism in Ukraine we poked the Russian bear with a stick and unsurprisingly Putin reacted but this now has been used as an opportunity to build a European army and when? Then, you know they get into a big fight. You know, for Hofstadts interrupts but Nigel Farage saw it this is 10 years ago! This was the whole point this was the whole setup and then you had poor Mark Rutte now I understand why they chose him he was set up to fail! This guy, this wishy-washy former prime minister never married

23:02 unclear about any relationships, used to be in Unilever's human resource department with the other ladies. Now he is just a wishy-washy smooshy guy with a funny accent I like to mimic his whole job was to fail at getting them to pour more money into NATO And now all he sees is people are complaining now. What is this now? And here's what NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte had to say at the conference on Saturday about Europe's task now To my European friends I would say get into the debate not by complaining that you might yes or not be at the table but by coming up with concrete proposals, ideas. Ramp-up the spending make sure that training in weapon supply is complete but also come up with concrete ideas what for example security guarantees could look like and what Europe could... And I must say since one day of complaining

23:56 now be seeing on the European side of NATO is indeed that people are now getting into the concrete planning phase of what could that be. Stop complaining! You're all complaining, why you complaining all the time? They're gonna go for it they are going to go for it this guy was set up to fail... Hey Mark go ahead boy once you go try and get up from 2% to 5%. Good luck They already knew it. This was the whole plan and now Trump is like, yeah this is great you know what screw you guys why don't you go do something yourself take care of it we're gonna put NATO is done I think I think it's over

24:35 Because it makes no sense to have a European, EU army and NATO. It's what we call duplication of efforts. Yeah redundancy is the other term. Yes so let them come up with you know three four five hundred billion euros a year Hello Europe, it's gonna be fun. I wish I could get my daughter out. You know this is Europe the fact that we've had this era of peace for 70 years or more it's a fluke yeah if you know world history it's a total fluke

CHAPTER 07 / 40 Discussion

Russia-Europe Relations, Historical Conflict and Trade Deficits

The historical context of European-Russian relations is examined, noting Russia's long-standing fear of Western encroachment. The decision to remove Russia from the SWIFT banking system is characterized as an act of war that exacerbated tensions. Additionally, the U.S. trade deficit with the EU, currently estimated at $200 billion, is discussed as a factor in the Trump administration's push for Europe to fund its own military defense.

russia· world war ii· bretton woods· swift· trade deficit

25:14 There were things like the Hundred Years Wars. Good times, I remember... And they're constantly attacking Russia because of you know for one reason or another and Russia knows this and they're freaked out about that's why they are so adamant. They aren't idiots! Cloistered in the United States when it comes to world history, so we think everything is the way it is today It's always was a bull crap be fair after World War two which the Russians really they'd really get the Russians won The war but you know as usual. We came in we stormed the beach I mean, it's not to be discounted But then we flew no nothing or muddy thing that Eisenhower was a good guy real deal We flew the flag and we liberated we did liberate You know we like hey you're free

26:00 Not downplaying that at all, but the Russians they lost millions of people just because they're a military society. This is what they do and then we had the whole Bretton Woods thing and who jumped out? The Russians! They went nah now We're not gonna be your little son over here. We want to control Europe and that is true They have definitely wanted to control Europe. I think that dream may be gone by now and they just want to Be a part of the system But you know when when the EU, the EU really drove this decision to kick Russia off of Swift

26:39 Yeah, that's an act of war. Well they also got kicked out of the G8? Oh that was a good one! That was probably like... I hated those meetings anyway who cares about that i don't want to go there but optic wise it was not nice Who is the aggressor?! And then the whole Nord Stream debacle. Back to the analysis Well no, the overview? You want overview three or are we going to anal? Overview yeah, we're on three I believe. Zelensky added today that Ukraine would need real security guarantees in order to make any ceasefire durable He said that the US needed to be part of those security guarantees but Amna, today a State Department spokesman said quote We expect European partners to take the lead in establishing a durable security framework and look forward to their proposals

27:27 So Nick tell us about the mood in the room during Vice President Vance's speech and also what you're hearing was joyous attendees tonight, right? Well, President Trump this afternoon called Vance's speech quote brilliant but the speech landed like a lead balloon in the room because again Europeans have been dealing with mixed messages on Ukraine all week from the Trump administration and they're hoping that the Trump administration treats them treats your Ukraine as partners in trying to pursue peace rather than going above Europe in Ukraine's head and speaking directly to Moscow. That said, though Amna two senior European officials told me tonight that actually the speech was better than it could have been that they preferred a scolding over negative speech about Ukraine or even a speech in which the US was announcing some kind of troop withdrawal from Europe but its not just Europeans who are worried about Ukraine's policy apparently today the Senate Armed Services Committee chairman Roger Wicker who is here today called Hegseth's speech

28:27 in Brussels a quote rookie mistake the kind of thing Tucker Carlson could have written and Carlson is a quote fool. That's what Wicker said Wow these reports bring in Elon Musk, Tucker Carlson who's next Candace Owens are they going to talk about her on PBS? Now that you mention it I'm sure if I was in the edit room right now oh we left her out damnit easy target Megan Kelly put Megan and Bongino code Bongino throw it in there That's what I miss our people. You know, it wouldn't surprise me if we start to hear some talk of well you know maybe was just close some of those bases in Germany Well, you know talked about that in his first term he did yeah Come on about what are we doing with all these bases all over the place? It's costing us money. Yep

29:16 What's it doing? Some ill will is being derived from it. Well, this is an interesting way to... So we have a $200 billion trade deficit with the EU which interestingly I heard the numbers the way it works with the EU they have a 200 billion surplus from China And I mean, a deficit with China. A 200 billion surplus with the US so they kind of stay the same whereas the U.S has a 300 billion deficit with China So we have at least 500 billion deficit between EU and China. So we could change that by all right you know good buy this stuff from us then set up your own army That would be at least 200 billion maybe more

CHAPTER 08 / 40 Discussion

Kaja Kallas Interview, Ukraine Strategy and Minsk Accords

EU Foreign Minister Kaja Kallas addressed the Munich Security Conference regarding the strategy for Ukraine and the impact of potential U.S. tariffs. Kallas dismissed claims that Putin wants peace, citing the failure of the Minsk I and Minsk II accords as evidence of Russian bad faith. She argued that any trade war between the U.S. and Europe would only benefit China and insisted that Europe must project strength to deter further aggression.

kaja kallas· estonia· minsk accords· putin· trade war

30:05 Just looking at balance of payments. Well, when they set up their own army they're gonna buy our product for a while They have to! I mean everything's standardized on our stuff Yeah For awhile Yeah yeah for awhile and then you can do what you have to do get back to a normal economy that is not just built on militarism What's a European gun? What's the brand name of European gun? Ruger? No Ruger for sure Czechoslovakian There's probably a few. Let's go to clip four Glock Oh glock, that's a good point Yeah, look Ukraine's defenders continue to say Russia is not serious about peace and they have a case in point today That a Russian drone hit a radiation shield that protects the Chernobyl nuclear power plant now earlier today I talked about all of this Ukraine as well as Vance his speech with Europe's top diplomat kayak. Ah, yeah, that doesn't sound fishy at all Yeah i'm sure it was

31:04 There's a there is a boat. Well, the radiation shield is that literally the dome they put over? Yeah, this drone falls which and that thing is pretty Pretty it's built to last the whole point of it was like lock it down close it up So a drone drops into it okay radiation shield all right sounds very scary Radiation we moved to the We move to the analysis. the administration's focus on Ukraine. But this week we also heard from the Defense Secretary, Pete Hexeth questioning whether Ukraine could ever get back occupied territory and essentially taking NATO off the table What is the impact of mixed messages for United States? The new administration is starting and of course so we are building up our relationship with a new administration as well I mean have had good calls, good call with Marco Rubio who was also very

32:20 shooting on Ukraine. So of course we have to figure out the messages, what is right? But this conference is a good place and we have a lot of meetings with representatives to understand what are the ideas really of United States regarding Ukraine. Can Europe actually make plans for Ukraine can you and the United States work on a strategy for Ukraine when you're getting these mixed messages Well, we have the strategy in place. I mean for us it's very clear it is to put the pressure on Russia to really stop this war when President Trump says that I just want the killing to stop with CEC if Putin would stop

33:01 you know, bombing Ukraine. This night we heard that they were bombing the nuclear station so clearly Putin doesn't want peace so... I like how Chernobyl has become the nuclear station? Isn't that thing completely defunct and down and shut? Yeah! It's the nuclear station. President Trump said this woman is second to Ursula. She's the foreign secretary of the EU and she's just another blowhard, unelected... DEI hire unelected spokeshole. He says that I just want the killing to stop, it's easy if Putin would stop bombing Ukraine this night we heard that they were bombing the nuclear station so clearly Putin doesn't want peace so the pressure, the political economical pressure should be on him so he realizes that you know he can't win and

33:58 Realizes it's a mistake to be there, but president trump also said this yesterday in the oval office quote yes I do believe putin wants peace and quote. I trust him on this. Oh no. What's your response to his statement? Well, maybe he doesn't know Putin as well as we do so Well, Putin is not really keeping his promises if you think about we have had such quick fixes Deals like Minsk one Minsk two. Oh What? Putin broke Minsk 1 & 2 is that what she's claiming That's what she's claiming Wow

34:36 Let's forget the Boris Johnson episode and the fact that this was, that war would have been over if these agreements were put into play. And they weren't thanks to Zelensky largely Putin has specifically said why don't we just hold to the Minsk accord? This lady is where she from she from Germany Were her... she's from originally, I'd have to look it up. No that's okay It's not that important Well maybe, she is one of those Yeah one of those places One of those could be anywhere But she is just typical EU spokesperson or representative or phony you know unelected official that runs the thing The EU is just a mess, it's ridiculous A technocrat

35:24 That's right, that's the word. She is a technocrat here we go at six. And previous diplomacy between Russia and Ukraine? Yes previous ceasefire agreements that were only necessary for Putin and Russia to get their act together more an attack in a bigger scale so I think you know the history proves that then that's why they only understand the language of strength then we have to be really strong and firm but you can't win here because If the United States is worried about China, if we can't get Russia right we can't get China right either because they are carefully watching how this goes. One of the possibilities when it comes to a possible ceasefire in Ukraine if we were to get to that would be for European troops to deploy inside Ukraine In your conversations with European leaders are they willing to consider that even if as Hegse said this week that the United States wouldn't protect them under Article 5?

CHAPTER 09 / 40 Discussion

Domino Theory, Vietnam War and Budapest Memorandum

The modern rhetoric regarding Ukraine is compared to the Cold War-era "domino theory" used during the Vietnam and Korean wars. References are made to the 1994 Budapest Memorandum, in which Ukraine agreed to give up its nuclear weapons in exchange for security guarantees. Current Ukrainian leadership argues these promises have not been kept by the West, leading to a lack of trust in new ceasefire proposals.

domino theory· vietnam war· budapest memorandum· nuclear weapons· security guarantees

36:24 They're always like, this is a constant theme. Well if you give in to Putin everyone else is watching and oh now they're weak now we'll come and grab something! It's a domino theory modern-day. Yes, yes exactly Which is the very through the domino theory in the 60s and 70s? And that was bull crap very reason why no one else wanted to go into in In the armed forces because they all figured out we were fighting stupid wars in Vietnam and Korea And then then no one wanted to be a part of it until oh 9 11 get the towel heads everybody Because that was real

37:04 Well, that was the spirit. You know it's like hey the towel heads did this turns out maybe not Let's go into Iraq anyway who cares let's go in there I think we're on seven. We have to understand that there's no peace in order to have peacekeeping troops you need to have peace but again Putin doesn't want peace and that is a big problem that we need to address right now and of course if there is a piece then we need to discuss what are the security guarantees yesterday we heard the Defense Secretary of Ukraine saying that, you know US gave us promises in the Budapest memorandum give up your nuclear weapons

37:47 and we will defend you when Russia attacks. And where are you now? So he was really very vocal in saying that, you know, you have not kept the promises you gave us so... Right now if we talk about security guarantees, then they really need to be credible. What are the security guarantees that would really? deter Russia from attacking again She's the secretary of the interior what is her title again? I think she's a Foreign minister Oh foreign minister. I think the farm in Iraq she's the henchwoman of the Queen Queen Ursula and

European Free Speech, J.D. Vance "Threat From Within"

J.D. Vance's comments at Munich regarding the "threat from within" Europe sparked a media backlash, with MSNBC's Joy Reid suggesting his "shared values" rhetoric aligned with Nazi ideology. Vance specifically criticized European restrictions on speech and the suppression of conservative voices. European officials countered by distinguishing between "freedom of opinion" and "freedom of speech," asserting that their democratic processes remain robust despite the rise of the AFD party.

free speech· j.d. vance· msnbc· joy reid· afd party

38:28 The joke in that, by the way, in that little commentary was the promise is not kept. We always have to remember it was James Baker... That's the real promise yes! And the promises were made when the Soviet Union collapsed and they became Russia and other countries all got independence became independent including Ukraine from Russia and then we promised that we're gonna move NATO one inch eastward, and ever since then that's all we did. And that was a promise that Putin called us out on and didn't do anything about for long time until this latest thing with Ukraine. That was the end, that was the straw that broke the camel's back and it is his fault okay? You and von der Leyen, the president of European Commission have both said publicly in last couple days that any kind of tariffs

39:26 tariffs would essentially create conflict between the United States and Europe that is unnecessary. Do you think the United States imposing tariffs on Europe would prevent Europe from working with the United States on Ukraine? No, we have different cooperation points so it's clear that there are no winners in trade wars. The consumers are the biggest losers because you know, rise due to this. So I hope that these things are settled between the United States and Europe okay? If there is trade imbalance then of course we can see what we can do about this but starting a trade war...I don't think it's it's a good thing because who is laughing on the side is China. Yeah okay! You know this is not a...the terrorists are not a trade war No

40:18 It's not trade war, it is a little more extreme than just a couple of tariffs on some goods and services. It is the balance of payments! It's an equalization of trade seems to me... But okay? Yeah yeah well let's call that everything has to be a war by the way Everything has gotta be a war That's what Europeans think Is that clip 8? We always have to remember that World War I was and it starts with this is why the Ukraine thing so dangerous because World War 1 started with a lunatic assassinating the Archduke Ferdinand. It was some maniac, it had nothing to do with anything and it just... Escalated? It escalated into a full-blown world war and then it was being fought all over in literally all over the world South America and every in Middle East every place was on got involved including us I mean they can learn from us you know when we're angry at our neighbors we just fight it out on the ice We just do a hockey game we beat each other up

41:18 We beat you anyway, three to one. You can't even skate." That's how you do it. You don't go into the trenches and kill a million... Of course! No I saw clips believe me I did not see a hockey game. Hockey is great. It was a great spectator sport. I went to one hockey game in my life when i was at school in West Virginia. Edie her name was Edie. Edie took Mudman and me to Pennsylvania drove like six hours to go to a flyers game And I'm at the game, and like...I don't even see the puck. I have no idea what i am looking at! No it was not for me. But there was no fighting. I mean I liked the fighting. And the gloves are off! That's the best

42:07 You went to a hockey game and there was no fighting back in the day? And it might have even been against New Jersey, which you'd expect. I don't recall any fighting though... Oh you'd remember if you saw it! Yeah, yeah, there was no fighting. These guys, these guys.... But that ultimately is how you get some aggression out, just go beat each other on the ice. That's what soccer supposed to do Yes, not there's no have fighting in soccer. That's the problem You know what this is a good point Soccer would score big in America even with limited commercials if there was fighting I think you might be on to something. We need a stutter match! I don't like soccer, I think it's boring but... I would maybe watch it if I was super... But these guys are kind of wimpy these guys they're all with their feet you know and they're prancing around more head kicks. More head kicks? He's like, I'm sorry I kicked you in the head oh what can I say so where are we on this yeah your bonus anal

43:06 Okay, here we go. And finally we've been talking about this most of the security conferences focused on this but the vice president JD Vance gave a speech today in which he said that the greatest threat that Europe faces is from within and he said quote there is no security if you're afraid of the voices the opinions and the conscience that guide your own people If you're running in fear from your own voters There's nothing America can do for you Is Europe afraid of the voices opinions and conscience of its own people? Well, freedom of opinion and freedom of press is one of the fundamental values that the European Union stands for. And as you see we have a lot... I love it! You don't have freedom of speech, you have freedom of opinion. You can have an opinion as long as you keep it to yourself and don't post about it. Freedom of opinion, freedom of press is one of the fundamental... You see that? Freedom of opinion this this is the problem right here Europe

44:03 Yes, you have freedom of opinion. That right is secured for you You can have your opinions as long... Just shut up about it Freedom of opinion, freedom of press is one of the fundamental values that the European Union stands for and as you see we have a lot of elections going on all the time A lot of very different groups over very vocal and I don't really agree with that criticism. And, you know of course we deal with our domestic problems on our own but we need to cooperate on the big international worries that we have and this is for example the war in Ukraine. Oh man well you know what? This whole thing escalated and Vance got a new speech

CHAPTER 11 / 40 Discussion

Ukraine Rare Earth Minerals, Zelensky Investment Dispute

President Volodymyr Zelensky has reportedly blocked an agreement that would have given the United States access to Ukraine's vast rare earth mineral reserves. Zelensky argued the deal focused too heavily on U.S. interests without providing concrete security guarantees for Ukraine. The Trump administration sought these minerals to reduce dependence on China, but negotiations have stalled due to concerns over Ukrainian corruption and investment terms.

rare earth minerals· volodymyr zelensky· donald trump· corruption· aerospace

44:50 When Zelensky did this. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says he's directed his ministers not to sign off on a proposed agreement to give the United States access to Ukraine's rare earth minerals He said the document was too focused on US interests and didn't include security guarantees for Ukraine that would deter future Russian aggression There are not very concrete things about security guarantees in this document. For me it's a very important connection between some kind of security guarantees and some kind of investment. Ukraine has vast reserves of critical minerals that are used in aerospace, defense and nuclear industries. The Trump administration has indicated it is interested in accessing them to reduce dependence on China. I don't know why Euronews is up-talking all of a sudden! And by the way the ludicrous logic here is that we get the minerals

45:49 We would have to provide security because we want to protect the minerals of course But no, they don't want to give us that they don't want it. No Ukraine is a Corrupt operation it always has yes And nothing's changed. All that has changed is there is a bunch of money and the idea behind the minerals was to pay us back for all the freebies they got, and distribute it around the world for all we know... This is ridiculous! And for all the decades I grew up in Europe? We loved Ukraine! That's where you could do nasty! You want some crazy drugs?! Ukraine! You want the Ukraine girls?! Ukraine!!

46:31 You want a hitman? Ukraine! You wanna go party crazy, Ukraine. Everyone loved Ukraine it was all good there's no reason for this and I'm being a little flippant but it fit in well you're not being that flippant It is the truth everybody... That's what you..that's the whole yes unspoken part of it is exactly what you said. By the way, just going back to soccer for a moment... Here's your problem when someone's hurt on the field it's always fake! Oh my knee oh well that's enough there's a lot flopping its called yeah flopping like oh I'm so hurt if someone was really hurt you know the knee that leg is like bent you see that bone sticking out real sports yeah we're just trying to Americanize football

CHAPTER 12 / 40 Discussion

MSNBC Analysis, Michael Steele and Nazi Value Claims

MSNBC pundits, including Michael Steele, analyzed J.D. Vance's meeting with the German AFD party, characterizing the interaction as an export of "MAGA" and "Nazi values." The segment highlights the media's focus on the AFD's far-right status while ignoring the party's growing popularity among German voters. A listener report from Germany notes that AFD leader Alice Weidel's personal life contradicts the "Nazi" labels frequently applied by American media.

msnbc· michael steele· nazi values· j.d. vance· afd party

47:27 to make it successful. I'd like to go to MSNBC, to get some fantastic analysis from our mainstream here in the United States. Fundamentally the goal is as President Trump outlined it we want the war to come to a close We want the killing to stop but we want to achieve a durable lasting peace not the kind of peace that's going to have Eastern Europe and conflict just a couple years down the road At this table we want the American people to understand when what's being said and what it really means for them. So, when they hear the vice president speak this way and there is another sound that we can use too that sort of crystallizes that moment What should people understand it means for them potentially down the road? Not only is it isolation but its going to actually hurt you in your pocketbook at home When it comes to the United States now looking like

48:20 only cares about itself, which it doesn't. I get it feeling that we're overextending. I remember when I was growing up this idea of we should not be the policemen of the world. I get that part but working alongside people helping people with common values helps American values continue so what we're really seeing is an entire reframing by J.D. Vance and Trump of what America actually stands for right, this idea that an America that stands up for democratic values and America that stands up for pluralism. And it's now turning to an America that stands up for colonialism, land grabs real estate deals

48:56 none of that benefits. That only benefits the people who are making the real estate deals. Lady, we just bought a plot of land for you in the Donbass congratulations now this is now this is the best part by the way that guy there was there's Michael Steele yeah oh yeah Former head of the RNC jerk. Wow, alright this continues and gets better! I want to take a listen to the other sound we have of JD Vance talking about The Threat From Within and then we'll talk about on the other side. The threat from within like immigration

49:33 The threat that I worry the most about vis-a-vis Europe is not Russia, it's not China. It's not any other external actor and what I worry about is the threat from within. The retreat of Europe from some of its most fundamental values, values shared with the United States of America One of the things that strikes me about the first piece of sound we played and then that piece of sound is it sounds innocuous enough. Now, we know what the values are right? We know what they are. They cut it off but now so this is a very... This is psychological operation on their viewing audience all 15 thousand of them

50:13 It's like, oh well it's our values. Our shared values and now they're going to tell you what those values are One of the things that strikes me about- Well let Vance tell ya because he does Because it's psychological warfare. It's propaganda One of the things that strikes me about the first piece of sound we played and then not piece of sound is that it sounds Piece of sound! It was a piece of sound. What was that? It was a piece of sound POS innocuous enough if you do not dig into the details and if you're not looking at it, which values are we? Which shared values are we talking about. So let me pull up this from The Washington Post which was that Vance met with the leader of a far right German party- Not what he said! No something The Washington Post wrote exported the MAGA message when they say shared values which values pray tell I wish I was exaggerating when I say Nazi values

51:05 Nazi values! That's it, that's what Vance hears. What? Nazi values yes of course thank you MSNBC I wish i was exaggerating when i say nazi values Right, I mean this is the far-far right party in Germany which understands what this kind of extremeism can lead to. Far-far right? Mmhmm, far-far right! They are not in power right now and for JD Vance to say the will of the people apparently The Will Of The People is great when Trump wins at the United States But he refused to meet with the elected leader of Germany the German Chancellor And instead goes and meets with this far-right extremist party out of power saying they're the will of the people so

51:41 What he's really presenting for the United States internally and overseas is that the will of the people is white, Christian male and willing to fight for that identity. Let's just take a quick break. Let's take a quick break and listen to boots on the ground Frank from Germany, Frank. And he sent us a note and said Adam John if you ever need any information from Germany I'm here for you. For instance Alice Vidal She is the leader of the far, far right also known as extreme right Nazi values AFD party. She's not only a lesbian but she's married to a brown girl or refugee. I didn't know that. Cherry on top! Anyway... The whole point is

52:31 That this bullcrap... Yeah, it doesn't make sense. It's illogical! It's bull crap and they are headed AFD is headed for their strongest result ever in the elections because that the Germans I feel bad for them you know if you got to get some pirate radio going or something do some podcasts where are the German podcasts? I'm sure they're around But, yeah. Well you have your contact right there ask him Yeah I wonder if they're allowed to even... Why is he listening to us? Yeah good point! I wonder if they are even allowed to express their opinion or only allowed to have it Umm..I do have three relatively short BBC clips about

CHAPTER 13 / 40 Discussion

BBC Munich Coverage, Ursula von der Leyen and China

BBC reports from the Munich Security Conference focused on the potential for Donald Trump to broker a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen warned that a failed Ukraine would weaken both Europe and the U.S., emboldening authoritarians in China. There is speculation that the military-industrial complex is leveraging the conflict to force Europe into massive new defense spending contracts.

bbc· ursula von der leyen· munich conference· china· military-industrial complex

53:17 About the Munich conference, you want to hear those? Sure. The future of Ukraine took centre stage at the International Security Conference in the German city of Munich on Friday It came after several days of speculation about how President Trump's telephone conversation with Vladimir Putin on Wednesday might be the start of a process that will end the conflict On the sidelines of the conference, the US Vice President J.D. Vance told reporters that Washington could impose economic sanctions on Russia if it refuses to agree what he called a good peace deal that guarantees Kiev's long-term independence

53:56 There are economic tools of leverage, he said. And there are of course also military tools of leverage the US could use." Later, he addressed the delegates at the meeting. This is a security conference and I'm sure you all came here prepared to talk about how exactly you intend to increase defense spending over the next few years in line with some new target and that's great Because as President Trump has made abundantly clear, he believes that our European friends must play a bigger role in the future of this continent. We don't think you hear this term burden sharing but we think it's an important part of being in a shared alliance together that the Europeans step up while America focuses on areas of the world that are in great danger

54:42 Uh-huh. Shared burden? They want no part of that! Well, later in the day the Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky met the US Vice President at the Munich conference Mr. Zelensky said they'd had a good conversation and that it would not be their last He said they needed to prepare a plan on how to stop President Putin and finish the war with Russia And that President Trump was key to making that happen I hope...and we count That really, President Trump will help us. And I really count on him. He is the president and United States is the biggest denator during the war, comparable with other countries as I said Europe also but it's Europe totally continent yes? The United States gave a lot that why I count on him people voted and we really think...I see he has to be strong man if he will choose our side

55:42 And if he will not be in the middle, I think he will pressure and push Putin to stop the war. He can't do it! This is...He's backtracking on everything that has been discussed It is baffling The head of the European Commission is Ursula von der Leyen This is my favorite Here's Queen Ursula President Putin says he's willing to meet But on what terms? It is up to him to demonstrate that his interest is not to prolong this war. It is up to him to show that he has given up his ambition to destroy Ukraine, and let me be very clear... What? Yeah I know she's 4'9'' and acting like she's a giant She's got nothing! But throws this stuff out there it's baffling His ambition to destroy Ukraine And let me be very clear

56:36 A failed Ukraine would weaken Europe, but it would also weaken the United States. Because what we have seen is the authoritarians of this world are carefully watching whether there's any opportunity... It's their latest pitch. The other woman had it too, which is oh they're watching the Chinese in particular they're watching to see if we blow it Yeah exactly If we blow it with this deal then China's gonna take over the world The authoritarians of this world are carefully watching whether there's any impunity if you invade your neighbor and violate international borders or whether they are real deterrence

57:25 Yeah, they're gonna go for their own army. They're crazy and the Macron is having a big meeting tomorrow emergency meeting everybody Pierre's ready for your hair come on to Paris everybody we gotta have an emergency meeting this Trump is not gonna help us all we wanted was simple give us some rare earth minerals You send some money our way it was easy Someone got in the middle and I think it's the military-industrial complex. They've wanted this all along, they knew NATO was not working they needed a new way and And I think President Trump is keen to that like okay fine well We don't even need tariffs just buy 200 billion dollars a year worth of our stuff. I think it's obvious

CHAPTER 14 / 40 Discussion

Trump at Daytona 500, The Beast Pace Car

Donald Trump appeared at the Daytona 500, where his presidential limousine, known as "The Beast," served as the pace car. Trump communicated with drivers over the radio while circling the track, a move described as a significant public relations event. The appearance coincided with ongoing discussions regarding his administration's "High Noon" deadline for the release of hostages in the Middle East.

donald trump· daytona 500· the beast· nascar· pace car

58:21 Well, this is not so far. This is not going well for the that war and then We didn't even bring up to Middle East thing I mean Trump made a big fuss about high noon yesterday Yeah, what? I don't want to see these three people releasing two people released by the way I've been doing a ratio thing with a number of people that they release in another people Israelis release one 200 I think it started at 1 250 yeah There was 50 Palestinians are worth one Jewish hostage. Then it went 1 to 60, now it's about 110 people per released hostage. It is ridiculous! Yeah high noon came and went

59:09 And now President Trump is at Daytona 500. He's got the Beast on the... Did you see it? He was on the track and then he's talking on the radio from The Beast as he's going around the truck. Oh no, I did not notice this! The pace car, it was great. So The Beast was the pace car?! Yes! Wow. Yeah, that was fantastic. That'll give it a good workout Well while we're on that topic President Trump keeps talking about his plan, we're gonna own Magaza and all this stuff. And it was pointed out to me that this plan has been around probably since 2019 the plan is written up it's published its well-known and of course it's Bibi Netanyahu's godson you know remember Jared Kushner had to sleep on the couch he Google it yeah google it

1:00:04 The spy for Israel. He went on Lex Friedman's show a year ago after October 7th and he explained the plan and the reason for the plan This was something I took on, I was working on the political framework between Israelis and Palestinians trying to understand what were the issues? And the issues were not very many You had a land dispute, you know so you have to figure out where do you put borders ultimately. You had a security paradigm which I was much more favorable to Israel's perspective on and obviously the events of the past 48 hours fully justified that

CHAPTER 15 / 40 Discussion

Jared Kushner Gaza Business Plan, Abraham Accords Legacy

Jared Kushner's 181-page economic plan for Gaza and the West Bank, originally developed during the first Trump term, is being revisited as a potential framework for peace. Kushner argues that Palestinian leadership was historically disincentivized to make deals due to the flow of international aid. The plan proposes a $27 billion investment to rebuild infrastructure and create jobs, contingent on the removal of Hamas and the establishment of transparent governance.

jared kushner· gaza· west bank· hamas· abraham accords

59:09 And now President Trump is at Daytona 500. He's got the Beast on the... Did you see it? He was on the track and then he's talking on the radio from The Beast as he's going around the truck. Oh no, I did not notice this! The pace car, it was great. So The Beast was the pace car?! Yes! Wow. Yeah, that was fantastic. That'll give it a good workout Well while we're on that topic President Trump keeps talking about his plan, we're gonna own Magaza and all this stuff. And it was pointed out to me that this plan has been around probably since 2019 the plan is written up it's published its well-known and of course it's Bibi Netanyahu's godson you know remember Jared Kushner had to sleep on the couch he Google it yeah google it

1:00:04 The spy for Israel. He went on Lex Friedman's show a year ago after October 7th and he explained the plan and the reason for the plan This was something I took on, I was working on the political framework between Israelis and Palestinians trying to understand what were the issues? And the issues were not very many You had a land dispute, you know so you have to figure out where do you put borders ultimately. You had a security paradigm which I was much more favorable to Israel's perspective on and obviously the events of the past 48 hours fully justified that

1:00:41 that bias. And then in addition to that, you had to deal with the religious sites but I felt operationally that wasn't actually as complicated as people made it because you wanted to just leave it open for everybody. Then I went through and I felt that the Palestinian leadership was fairly disincentivized to make a deal because There was just this paradigm where for the billions of dollars coming in from the international community. And I think that they feared that if they made a deal, they would lose their relevancy internationally and the money would stop flowing into the country so So what I tried to do is to say, my approach when I would get into a hard problem and say how do I understand all the different escape hatches? How do I try to eliminate them and then build the golden bridge that becomes really- Golden bridge! The only but also the most desirable pathway for the decision makers to walk through. So that makes sense. Hamas didn't want to give up millions of dollars in payments they came in that would lose their relevancy. It's probably a fair assessment

1:01:44 Then I don't know about the escape hatches, but OK. Here's the business plan and the players in the plan. So we developed a business plan for Gaza at the West Bank. We threw in some improvements for Jordan and Egypt as well. I based it off of the vision 2030 that they did in Saudi Arabia, which I thought was a visionary document. I went back through this process and I studied basically every economic project in the post-World War II period so we looked at what they did in South Korea why it was successful with some strong industrial planning we looked at Japan, we looked at Singapore how we look to Poland why it was successful We spent a lot of time on the Ukraine plan for the country and why it wasn't successful And that was mostly because of governance and corruption

1:02:28 which actually resembles a lot of what's gone wrong with the Palestinians, where there is no property rights. There is no rule of law and what we did was build a plan to show that it isn't that hard in the sense between West Bank and Gaza you have 5 million people And, and we put together a plan I think it was about $27 billion. We got together a conference, I had the head of AT&T we had Steve Schwartzman from Blackstone came gracious them with all the leading Arabic businessmen, the leading builders, leading developers and the general consensus of that of that of that of that conference was that this is very doable you know? We think that for Gaza in particular would cost maybe maybe seven to eight billion dollars to rebuild the entire place

1:03:12 We felt we could reduce the poverty rate in half, we can create over a million jobs there. The only thing that people said was holding it back wasn't Israel what was holding him back was governance and people wouldn't have confidence investing there with the rule that Hamas was perpetuating So this sounds to me like a lot of the setup for the plan that the president is talking about literally mentioning Jordan and Egypt. And, uh, the plan was advanced. This plan has been going all along. I encourage people actually look at the plan it was very thoughtful as 181 pages we went project by project each project has costed out

1:03:51 It's a real plan that could be implemented, but you need the right governance. And all of the different Arabic countries are willing to fund it. The international community is willing to fund it because they've just been throwing so much money at the Palestinians for years that has never been outcomes-based or conditions based. It has just been entitlement money and unfortunately it hasn't really achieved any outcomes that have been successful. It's a great business plan. It just shows, too, rebuilding Gaza could be easy but like I said the problem that has held the Palestinian people back and that has made their lives terrible in Gaza has not been Israel it is really been Hamas' leadership or lack of leadership and their desire to focus on trying to kill Israelis and start war with Israel over improving the lives of the Palestinian people. I mean Hamas has been running it now for 16 years

1:04:41 And they don't have a lot to show for it. And, you know our posture with them was basically a very simple deal and if you think about what's the end state in Gaza? It's actually not that complicated. There are no territorial disputes right the border is the border there are no religious issues there as well You're not dealing with Jerusalem. You're basically just dealing with the fact that You know, Israel wants to make sure that there's no threat from Gaza. So it's a demilitarization or some kind of security guarantee from a credible source where Israel doesn't feel like Gaza can be used to stage attacks into Israel or to fire rockets into Israel but Hamas has not shown desire for that or capability for that and I don't think there is enough trust

1:05:22 to allow them to do that, which is why under the current circumstances if you want peace there Hamas has to be either eliminated or severely degraded in terms of their military capabilities. Checkmark checkmark this was over a year ago This is exactly what happened The plan has been underway for a long time This is why the president seems so confident and I'm pretty sure Jordan and Egypt are ready. I don't see it What do you see then? I see the same mess that's always been historically and then i don't see it changing at all. Let's look at the track record, I think he's right about the fact that you had bad governance for x number of years but also during that period of bad governance which we have in California You have a period brainwashing the public to make them think this is great what they're doing and they're all full of shit these people and Palestinians are troublemakers because of it

1:06:18 because of the brainwashing. Yeah, you can find the textbooks and all the rest about how the Jews are terrible and all the rest of it... And that doesn't just disappear overnight just because you put some new people in. The same thing like in California or in these schools where they promote gender studies or gender ideology as a Kids come home if the parents are in with it because they're dumb right, but there's a lousy parents They're all but they buy into it too. But they haven't blown up the leadership That's the difference The Hamas leadership is gone That's the difference If you blew up Gavin Newsom not not saying you should You know and got rid of these city councils and all the corruption Yeah It was just Fay would just reform hmm

1:07:05 It will reform. It's going to reform in Palestine too, it is just the way it is. Like an octopus tentacle that grows on again? Kind of, but if you have a population that's all into it and thinks everything is hunky-dory and they refuse to do this or they refuse to do that. No! This is bullcrap. This is going nowhere. Well I think this is the plan they're trying to implement... They can try all they want good luck with that I think it's just a waste of time and money but you know this idealistic yes They're, you know they think that everyone thinks like an American. This is not the way it is this just like but he did make a good point about the corruption of bad governance of Ukraine and Hamas yeah and the Ukraine's the same way And California put them all in the same boat! Or Massachusetts You're the Ukraine of America

CHAPTER 16 / 40 Discussion

Golden Dome Defense System, Space-Based Interceptors

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced plans to include funding for a "Golden Dome" or "Iron Dome" missile defense system in the FY26 budget. Rocket scientist Arie Satcher clarified that while "Iron Dome" is a metaphor, the U.S. version would likely involve space-based interceptors to counter ICBMs from Russia, China, and North Korea. The project is linked to the military-industrial complex, with major contractors like Raytheon and Boeing expected to lead development.

golden dome· iron dome· pete hegseth· space force· raytheon

1:07:57 It's getting there. Let's stick with the military-industrial complex and a little bit with Israel, the Iron Dome we heard President Trump promise the Iron Dome is coming although Is it going to be called the Iron Dome? Here is our Secretary of Defense with the money, honey. We need to update our nuclear triad on land and sea and air but that also includes the Iron Dome or Golden Dome whatever you want to call it. We have embraced the executive order of President Trump we're gonna ensure its included in reconciliation money in the FY 26 all our budgets going forward to invest in the ability Maria get this novel idea to defend

1:08:38 That's why we're focusing on our southern border and the invasion there, So, Golden Dome, Iron Dome Maria Money Honey Bartiromo dives in deeper. Joining me now is US Israel Education Association Senior Policy Advisor Okay I love this! This is the America-Israel Education Association Advisor Yes the funding arm for AIPAC. And this is what I've consistently said because I followed the money, you can look at the 990s and see that it's Raytheon and Boeing who put money into the education fund non-profit and the education fund funds AIPAC

1:09:26 Not for Israel to control everybody but for the military industrial complex to control everybody in which they do No doubt about it Yeah, we have that. We still have producers out there who listen to the show and think that you're a Zionist or even suggesting Excuse me. We are dominating this situation in the way things go Yes boomer Zionists Okay I mean Oh, you're a boomer's eye? I didn't see that. Boomer's eye is piece of crap! That's what it is. Yeah well yes...that's what one guy called you So why is this guy telling us about the Golden Dome because he's part of the military-industrial complex

1:10:07 And we're going to build this thing and it's interesting. It is not gonna do anything. Well listen... Joining me now is US Israel Education Association senior policy advisor and rocket scientist Arie Satcher. And he's a rocket scientist, not unimportant! President Trump told me he's probably going to call it something else, something like the Golden Sphere or Golden Dome. I think golden balls will be better. The Golden Sphere? The Golden Dome? We have to come up with a better name than that. He is probably going to call it something else, something like the Golden Sphere or Golden Dome. Tell me how this works and a little about the Iron Dome that is used right now in Israel sir

1:10:48 So, let me tell you at the outset... Which doesn't work. The golden condom, the golden egg I mean we've got they've gotta do something they got to start marketing this properly now let's listen to what it is so Let me tell you at the outset that the president is using the term Iron Dome as a metaphor and needs very much. United States has a small number of batteries of Iron Dome and that defends deployed forces, but to defend the U.S. homeland as the president wants to do you need something completely different. You're defending against rockets not launched from Canada or Mexico that I know of, but you're defending against rockets that are launched from North Korea from China

1:11:44 from Russia, possibly. And you need something far more complex than Iron Dome to shoot it down what the president is looking at is something that probably would be called space-based intercept. You bring up a whole bunch of interceptors into outer space and the whole intercept will take place outer space. So if you want to call it Iron Dome or you want to call it Fred, doesn't make a difference. It's not Iron Dome but the chances of us succeeding are excellent because US has tremendous amount of engineers and gumption Space Force! Yeah baby Let's call it The Orange Dome There ya go That's better Isn't there some treaty where we're not supposed to weaponize space? I mean its like... We haven't already done that The Chinese haven't already done that

1:12:29 But that should get I think there is a treaty. That gets it should get some pushback The whole thing is a boy this is just as the ass go no, I think that's what nuclear deterrence is all about Yeah, okay you can bomb us but then we're gonna just wipe out your entire so No, no, we zap your pure hypersonic missiles with sure We do with the golden dot with our Golden Stream I was wondering how long it would take for you to go there. It took me at least six minutes, come on give me some credit! Well... and Elon's gonna build it. I mean I was alive when Reagan was like yeah we're gonna put in more Star Wars whatever happened to that?

1:13:20 Didn't work it didn't well. They couldn't get they could know this stuff works them if you have a Multiple reentry product that's like you send up an ICBM and then breaks into 100 little pieces And I'm a little bombs and just go scattering around every which way It's pretty hard You can stop one or two then we have the upcoming drone warfare Which comes under the radar? That mean that's gonna be there, but I think gonna be the future of a lot of these battles these drones Just flying around. Yeah, this is a mess They gotta you know establish a peaceful world Yes while you do that through strength The war yeah exactly Let's talk a little bit about the situation with Eric Adams Yet can you do in these clips or can you tell me? Exactly what the charges were

CHAPTER 17 / 40 Discussion

Eric Adams Indictment Dismissal, DOJ Resignations

The Department of Justice's decision to drop corruption charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams led to a wave of resignations, including acting U.S. Attorney Danielle Sassoon. Sassoon, a Federalist Society member, alleged a "quid pro quo" where Adams would support Trump's immigration policies in exchange for the dismissal. The Trump administration defended the move as a policy shift, while critics labeled the event the "Thursday Afternoon Massacre."

eric adams· pam bondi· danielle sassoon· federalist society· southern district of new york

1:14:15 on him because as far as I can recall a couple of Turkish Airlines upgrades and because they said well, I want you to introduce me to somebody and I'm upgrading you from business first. Just a little bit of that it's all involves Turkey and also then there is charge that they were getting too which they didn't get to which was him lying to the FBI About what was going on? Yeah, the whole thing was you know that the Justice Department dropped it But the way this is a presentation on PBS again. Okay, and this is a pack of lies This I've traced us down. I believe there's a beef going on between the Federalist Society No and the Trump administration

1:14:55 And a new guy, because there's a change of leadership at the Federalist Society and there's this guy who is taking over called Leonard Leo. Can you tell me about the Federalist Society? Is this like... The Federalist Society is super conservative operation that's involved with the judicial picks. Gorsuch, Amy Comey Barrett and Kavanaugh were all chosen by the Federalist Society when Trump was first in office almost every judge that he appointed pre-picked by the Federalist Society. Can I ask you a question? So when I think Federalist Society, I think of the Federalist Party and the Anti-Federalist Party when we were getting the Constitution together and there was beef... Yeah no! It's not the same thing? No it is just a group of super conservatives that believe in very very conservative

1:15:48 no leeway whatsoever type of operation and they're mostly concentrating on the judicial. And they have people planted all over the place, and I believe this is a power play because when Trump put in Pam Bondi without consulting these guys... Oh that's the issue! These guys really think they're the tail wagging the dog especially this new guy Leonard Leo you should just look him up on Wikipedia He's an egomaniac who spends a lot of money at his seams and he is throwing his weight around. It's one of these guys who, he thinks he's the president kind of where you're the guy behind the scenes if anybody remembers old California politics from before I was born but in the 30s and 40s this guy

1:16:37 Arthur Samish. Okay, so he supported not only John Roberts, Sam Alito Neil Gorsuch Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett but also Clarence Thomas Yes, these guys really think they run the place. Because they kind of do when it comes to the judicial to this point but they weren't consulted on Bondi there may be some and Bondi's got some issues that irk these guys and So I think this was the whole Eric Adams thing the way it was handled because we go through these clips I'll tell you my complaints about each one of these clips The PBS guys are

1:17:12 having nothing but fun over this because the person who started this and I believe that Federalist Society's behind it the mass resignation oh yeah look that sounds right yeah when you have a mass resignation somebody is orchestrating it this doesn't I've been in enough operations to know this cuz I've done it myself have you ever mass resigned hey put together one story troublemaker are you I am a troublemaker and so This Danielle Sassoon is like, oh she was the acting top prosecutor US attorney la-la-la. And nobody mentions in any of these reports any of them you can look and look and look You won't find it The fact is she was in office as acting for three whole weeks

1:18:02 Three whole weeks. Yes, yeah exactly So she shows up next thing you know she quits in a huff over the Eric Adams things that we'll go through these clips and I can complain more but let's start with With the Eric Adams fiasco clip one A wave of resignations is shaking up the US Justice Department after the Trump administration gave orders to drop the corruption case against New York City Mayor Eric Adams. So far at least seven officials have quit and Adams is facing increasingly loud calls to step down The exodus began yesterday with one of New York's top federal prosecutors and it is already being dubbed the Thursday afternoon massacre. Recalling the famous Saturday night massacre during the Watergate scandal, William Brangham begins our coverage. Okay hold on. Sassoon a member of the deeply conservative Federalist Society is a rising star in legal circles In her resignation letter Sassoon name-checked her former mentor Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia

1:19:06 Okay, yes. All right you've picked up on something important here this is good She's in her credentials are impeccable and the guy who was the other guy that I think was important on this is this guy Hagen Scotton, Hagen Scotton who's one of the guys who was leading the investigation of Eric Adams. And the two of them she has one child and one on the way family woman married and this Scotton guys got three kids and you just don't up and quit a job like this with a big family like that unless you get guarantees so it goes don't worry about it you can quit but you're gonna land on your feet

1:19:46 When in fact if you quit the way these two did and the other five It's like no, you're never gonna get work again in this town is a way it should go But know they've been set up. This whole thing as a scam and it's being played, and the media loves it because you have these people are impeccable. This Scott, this Hagan character, this guy is double bronze star. He's got riddles up the ass. These are super conservatives that you can say well look these super conservatives they quit on the Trump administration because it's corrupt! Trump's corrupt and so was Pam Bondi

1:20:25 Let's finish these clips. Throughout this entire ordeal, which I think... Today New York City Mayor Eric Adams was playing defense. ...I had to endure for something I didn't do anything wrong. Including a PR blitz on Fox News all the while the US Department of Justice is in upheaval over the fate of the corruption case it brought against the mayor yet Yesterday, six DOJ officials resigned after refusing an order from the department in Washington to dismiss the case. Acting U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Danielle Sassoon — a Republican who clerked for late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia — started the exodus

1:21:08 Oh, she started the exodus. Okay. Yeah she was the initiator working there three weeks not taking orders from her boss so I just started the job i'm working there in three weeks my boss says you got to drop this case I have reasons or we have reasons that we don't think it's a good case over doesn't do doesn't make any difference why because your working their 3 week run probation and you oh I'm not gonna listen to you I quit And so then by the way people I expect you to say that one day on this show to me. I think it's not working for you I quit and So and they media just slaps it up because this is like a kind of a crack in the armor here It's a soap opera. They love it Yeah, and it's bull crap in it and this end the logic of it makes no sense This is total insubordination That was

1:22:02 orchestrated by somebody and I suspect a Federalist Society but on to clip 2. 3, 3. Oh that was that was two? Yeah yeah this is okay well then clip three kind of summarizes an interesting thought writing to Trump's new Attorney General Pam Bondi Sassoon accused Mayor Adams and officials in the DOJ of what amounted to a quid pro quo Oh yeah. That Adams would aid Trump's immigration enforcement if the DOJ dropped his case. Sassoon excoriated that alleged offer, writing quote it is a breathtaking and dangerous precedent to reward Adams opportunistic and shifting commitments on immigration and other policy matters with dismissal of a criminal indictment." Now was she the one that said that Adams lawyer

1:22:55 had said that in the meeting? I don't know who said that, but i just want to back into this concept. That the Justice Department... there's a couple of things the Justice Department for one thing did it deal with somebody gee that's never happened in the history of the justice system United States no one's ever done a deal with somebody to get them to cooperate from one way or another that's never happened before so this is a big shocker Then they keep bringing up this prosecutor tutorial misconduct. That's bullcrap because Prosecutorial misconduct always has to do with screwing over some guy not letting him go free

1:23:39 So this whole thing is orchestrated and it's phony and the PBS doesn't dig into it. Nobody mentions that this girl, this chick Sassoon Chick was there for three whole weeks and she's standing up against the DOJ in Pambandi? Give me a break! How old is she? Let me see. She's young, but she did some big... She was the Sam Bankman Freed prosecutor. The Sam Bankman Freed and she also did something else. No slouch! I'm not saying that. She's not a slouch but somethings corrupt about the whole thing Yeah what else does she do

1:24:29 He's done some racketeering cases, sex trafficking students. You know you just for three weeks you do what you're told! You'd think... Especially in this sort of situation I mean it's come on this happens all the time and so even if there was a pro quo which they keep talking about they can't prove but they keep saying it say there was This guy is going to help Trump clean up New York and make everything better? And this is a bad idea?! Come on!! Bad idea supply Do you want to hear the NPR clips on this or do you have one more Eric Adams clip I see?

CHAPTER 18 / 40 Discussion

Tom Homan and Eric Adams, New York Mayoral Race

Border Czar Tom Homan appeared on Fox News alongside Mayor Eric Adams, fueling speculation about their cooperation on immigration enforcement. Following the DOJ upheaval, potential mayoral candidates like Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa have begun mulling runs for the office. Cuomo released a campaign-style video addressing public safety, while Sliwa continues to advocate for his "Guardian Angels" approach to New York City governance.

tom homan· eric adams· andrew cuomo· curtis sliwa· fox news

1:25:08 You play the last one. Yesterday, Mayor Adams met with Trump's border czar Tom Homan and sat beside him on Fox News this morning as he denied Sassoon claims. That's quid pro quo that's a crime. It took her three weeks to report in front of her a criminal action? Come on this is silly! But then Homan implied that if Adams didn't help with immigration... He'd be in his office up his butt saying where the hell is the agreement we came to Acting U.S. Deputy Attorney General and former Trump lawyer Emil Bovee, who ordered the dismissal rejected the assertion that there was any quid pro quo

1:25:47 In a response to Sassoon, he wrote that she quote lost sight of her oath and should not quote interpret the Constitution in a manner inconsistent with the policies of a democratically elected president. Adams had pleaded not guilty last year to federal charges of accepting bribes and illegal campaign contributions from Turkish nationals now a flurry of Democrats are calling on Adams to step down and calling on New York Governor, Democrat Kathy Hochul to remove him from office which she'd have the authority to do. For DOJ officials this so-called Thursday afternoon massacre continued today Hagen Scotten the line prosecutor who handled the Adams case quit

1:26:33 with a defiant message to Bovee, refusing his motion to dismiss the case. Scotton wrote I expect you'll eventually find someone who is enough of a fool or enough have a coward to file your motion but it was never going to be me reportedly Bovee was able to find a DOJ lawyer willing to sign the motion this afternoon This is a good sequence she had here because Exactly what you talk about and of course the focus of Sassoon is only that, she's so awesome and she really led the charge. No one agrees because it's Trump and politicization he's going after his political enemy blah blah blah That's what sticking It's really sticking And this interview or this appearance he did on Fox with Holman

1:27:25 has just got everybody in a tizzy, as of course we must once again resort to MSNBC and the superstar Joy Reid. But we begin tonight with Donald Trump's take on law and order, as we now live in a country where the rule of law comes second to whatever Trump wants As of today, seven top federal prosecutors and officials including the acting U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, Daniel Sassoon saying that she witnessed Adams' attorney indicate that Adams would only be able to help push Trump's immigration enforcement policies if

1:28:01 The charges against him were dropped. And before I continue the clip, so apparently this happened three weeks ago when she just got there is when this horrible quid pro quo was suggested she held on to it! This morning Adams responded of course on Fox Of course, because that's the president's network. The only way Mayor Adams is going to assist in immigration, which I was calling for since 2022 is if you drop the charges. That's quid pro quo that's a crime! It took her three weeks to report in front of her a criminal action? Come on this is silly. Yeah it was okay but when you say it on Fox its not true Well first I should note that Adams attorney Alex Spiro who we just heard him mention also represents none other than

1:29:12 Who? Who? Can you guess who? You'll never guess. Jeffrey Epstein No, close! Close! I'll give you one more guess Weinstein. Oh man, so close! No Trump's co-president Elon Musk. I like the co president. Epstein would have been better interesting right? Interesting right is interesting right interesting and second it is hard not to find it ridiculous when Adams is seen sitting next to Trump's borders are Tom Tom Holman right there on Fox, who just minutes later all but confirms the quid pro quo with a threat to Adams on live TV. If he doesn't come through I'll be back in New York City and we may be sitting on the couch or being his office up is what same word of hell is it? We came to up as but nice. Tom Brokaw's rolling over in this grave

1:30:19 He's dead. That's what I said, he's rolling over in his grave Yeah you can't believe that news now... I can't believe they're using the term upper butt And of course everyone's quick to jump in because, hey there's gonna be a spot. There's gonna be a spot let's jump in! Let's bring in some familiar faces very familiar to me as a former New Yorker. I have to say Curtis Sliwa was such a badass back in the late 80s and the 90s in New York The Guardian Angels it was the people protecting the people

1:30:56 And he's still walking around with that silly beret on his head. The red beret! The beret is like, dude we get it. Sliwa is of course the founder of the Guardian Angels and was a Republican nominee for mayor in 2021 ultimately losing that election to Mayor Adams In a campaign post Sliwa has said he will prioritize public safety and quality-of-life issues In the meantime, former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has been mulling a run for mayor as well. Cuomo has not made things official but he did post a campaign style video on social media yesterday. It's frightening out there on the streets but we have been through this before as New Yorkers

1:31:38 We've seen the ups, we've seen the downs and we know how to make this city work and make this state safe for everyone. And that's exactly what we're going to do. This was from a Valentine's Day event at The Johnson Houses Community Center yesterday which was hosted by Assemblymember Eddie Gibbs Cuomo, quid pro cuomo not looking good. He looks frail his voice is frail The old man the governor? Yes very thin Looking kind of gauntish No it's not good It's not good Let me see

CHAPTER 19 / 40 Discussion

Camelot Castle Hotel, UK Migrant Housing Refusal

The proprietor of Camelot Castle in Cornwall, England, refused a lucrative offer from the British Home Office to house 300 illegal migrants. The government reportedly offered double the hotel's normal annual revenue on a rolling contract, requiring the dismissal of nearly all local staff. The owner argued that accepting the deal would have destroyed the local economy of Tintagel and contributed to "cultural degradation."

camelot castle· cornwall· home office· illegal migrants· tintagel

1:32:26 I think we're done with that, right? We have nothing else. I think we covered it So interesting little piece of video i caught you know where we've been talking about just staying in New York here with the 59 million dollars that was being spent on the Roosevelt Hotel for...I guess is does this Does The Noah Jindal Style Guide allow us to say illegal aliens again? I think that's back right? We can say that now No, I think we could always say it. Yeah well that's you can have your opinions but you know got to be careful about what you say In the UK and this was on GB news of course Camelot Castle a Camelot Castle famous hotel

1:33:08 that goes back to the time, you know supposedly that's where King Arthur had his round table of knights and so you know it's in a village and It said it's a castle and they got rooms in the castle. I thought King Arthur was out on the In the Western part of the country over in whatever that area is The western part? The Camelot Castle associated with King Arthur Well, that's just named Camelot. No but I'm reading from the... Have you ever got to London? Okay okay listen it's a castle... That is bullcrap anyway please continue! That's the marketing story okay it's the marketing story The proprietor of Camelot Castle explained what the British government wanted to do with him regarding illegal aliens in Great Britain

1:33:59 You refused a request from the Home Office to house migrants. What did they offer you and why did you turn it down? Well, it was a considerable amount of money Beverly It was probably double what we would normally make on on a good year because they offered full occupancy on a rolling contract for a year. So how does that work? Somebody literally just picks up the phone to you or do they send you a letter... They sent us a letter first and, to be honest with you I thought it was a joke because of the amount of money they were offering well i just couldn't believe that government wanted to put illegal migrants up in four poster beds at Camelot Castle! It's absolutely remarkable. We would have destroyed the village because one of the things they said is to lay off all staff

1:34:41 And all but two because they do meals on wheels you clean the rooms once a week You're probably a big employer in the village well a major employer in the village and locally and of course those jobs In a village like Tintagel, they wouldn't be replaced. No So but also that they would have stacked place up with about 300 people people and you know, you then have those people wandering around the village. I don't know whether they intended to contain them or whether they would be allowed out and about? I know in other areas certainly hotels in Newquay have had some serious problems because there were a few hotels that did take the migrants there. Presumably people who stay at your hotel then spend their money in the village? Well of course they do! They do spend their money there and it would have destroyed the local economy

1:35:29 You know, it's hard to say how many hundreds of thousands of pounds our guests spend in the village but certainly a fair amount. But it is also the cultural degradation that goes along with this. New York... What was it? We got memos from people who had weddings scheduled. Was it Pennsylvania? It's all over the place! The Netherlands... It was like some sort of a conspiracy That's the thing, it does seem like this was a coordinated move to destroy the world basically Bring it all down bring all societies as particularly in heartlands just bring it down bring it all down

1:36:14 Yeah, who needs that aggravation? No! But a lot of people took the deal of course. A lot of people took the deal. Well and when they offered twice as much as you'd normally get which is what the guy implied... Well we know the Dutch remember that family van der Valk they took the deal And then the family got into a big fight over it and, you know blew the family apart. Because half of them didn't want to do it and the other one was like look at the money! He was taking money for just presenting the deal to the family I think so... It's insanity. Insanity. And why? Why because- Oh! I learned something You know this new style we've picked up with someone saying Why because

Hypophora Rhetorical Device, Psychological Control

The rhetorical device "hypophora," in which a speaker poses a question and immediately answers it, is identified as a common tool for psychological control in media. This technique is used to transition discussions in a specific direction and suggest answers that the listener may not have considered. Analysts suggest it is a form of neuro-linguistic programming designed to manage the curiosity of the audience.

hypophora· neuro-linguistic programming· rhetoric· psychology· communication

1:37:03 It has a name. Asking themselves questions... It's called hypophora. Hypophora? Hypophora, figure of speech in which the speaker poses a question then answers the question and it is really a psychological trick And what does that trick accomplish besides annoy you and me That is the main reason they're doing it, of course To annoy you and me The rhetorical effectiveness lies in allowing the speaker to answer questions a listener may have.

1:37:44 So if you have this question, we're going to confirm your question and then give you the answer in a different direction. Hypophora is used as a transitional device to take the discussion in a new direction, a device to catch attention since a reader or listener's curiosity stimulated by hearing a question and to suggest the answers that the reader or listener may not have thought of So it's a good trick. It's a control trick. I guess neuro-linguistic programming, I guess? Now I like it more than before! Now we have to really pay attention who is doing this. Because people are just directing the conversation in the direction they want... so now there was no conversation No and why because then what? And why because they want to control your mind that's why! There you go

CHAPTER 21 / 40 Discussion

Gender Affirming Care Executive Order, Lurie Children's Hospital

Protests erupted outside Lurie Children's Hospital in Chicago after the facility paused gender-affirming surgeries for minors following a presidential executive order. The order restricts federal funding for such procedures, though a federal judge has temporarily blocked its implementation. Advocates argue that removing access to "top surgery" and hormones causes serious harm to transgender youth, while the hospital continues to monitor legal developments.

gender affirming care· donald trump· lurie children's hospital· executive order· chicago

1:38:38 I'm going to do it, have one clip of bio-Leninism which is also known as trans Maoism. As President Trump has now signed executive orders that the government funds may not be used for gender operations, which is also known as gender affirming care for children under 19. Which means it really only means that Medicare can't pay for it If you want to do it, and you want to pay for yourself. That's another thing So they're protesting this outside the Lurie Children's Hospital I think in Chicago. Trans rights are human rights! Hundreds of people protested outside Lurie Children's hospital. Not only one Only one was trans who is protesting everybody there does not look trans at all The people who were speaking on camera not trans except for one but that's a

1:39:40 Male to female trans, which I don't think there was much operating done that perhaps breast enhancements. Hospital Saturday. Trans rights are human rights! Over the hospital's decision to pause gender affirming surgeries for patients under the age of 19. Legislators have no business stepping into medical decisions The hospital says it will continue to provide some services for transgender youth We can receive gender-affirming hormones and puberty blockers, but if they're willing to take away top surgery which is such a pivotal part of people's transitions and people's... I just love top surgery. You mean a

1:40:24 The double mastectomy is now just known as top surgery. Lives, then what's next? The decision came shortly after President Trump signed an executive order stopping federal support for gender transitions. A federal judge temporarily blocked Trump's executive order on Thursday. Demonstrators say the move can cause serious harm to transgender people. As we know... Here it comes, now you always want to throw this in because as we know why? Because as we know... To transgender people. As we know many trans youth who can't get access to health care commit suicide unfortunately. It's so tired! The evidence is not conclusive on that at all but that's the psychological trick we've played over and over again if we don't give

1:41:14 Trans children. Healthcare! note the term health care, they will kill themselves. Demonstrators say the move can cause serious harm to transgender people As we know many trans youth who can't get access to healthcare commit suicide unfortunately At the rally we heard from transgender advocates I'm the product of a transition before the age of 19 years old And i just don't know if this man dressed and looking very feminine has had bottom surgery I was supported. I had access to care and because of that, i'm standing here today healthy thriving parents with children who are patients at the hospital all healthy and thriving they're choosing to live their true selves

1:42:07 Because not doing so hurts them more than anything the bullies can do. What do we do? Stand up like that! Many in the crowd fear that changes this hospital made are just the beginning. Lori's is a leader in this space, so if they back down other smaller companies and smaller organizations will follow In a statement, Lori Children's Hospital called the decision difficult and said they're monitoring further developments on this issue You know, in 1990 I did a documentary of Thailand And we did a whole bunch of crazy things, you know. Drank cobra blood, stayed with the hill tribe up near the Burmese border... So they do a snake alley in Taiwan and drink cobra blood? I thought it was- You know they killed- First they make the cobra angry and then they milk them and then they slit him open Yeah that's disgusting It was very disgusting. And you know we went to see- That sucks! Oh it was bad We went to see The Long Necks which turned out to be a tourist trap But also in Bangkok we went to a ladyboy show

Gender Season Identity, Trans Prepper Movement

A new micro-identity called "Gender Season" has emerged, where individuals link their gender expression to specific seasons of the year. Simultaneously, a "trans prepper" movement has gained traction on social media, with creators advising LGBTQ+ individuals to prepare "go bags" and stock up on medication in anticipation of government-run concentration camps. These survivalists recommend reverting legal documents to birth genders and keeping cash on hand for emergency relocation.

gender season· trans prepper· go bag· concentration camps· survivalism

1:45:57 Let's go to, there is a new gender. No! Yeah? No! It's unbelievable that we're 75 and now 78. It is the policy of this administration that are two genders Well here's the new one this is the gender season Did you know however there is a gender identity that is linked to the seasons This is called Gender Season And it's a gender identity I've only just learned about its micro-identity i have ever heard discussed before, it's a new one for me. gender season is an individual who explores their gender identity in relation to A season or all the seasons so this might be somebody whose gender expression and identity is linked to one season- so for example winter? Or this might be somebody whose gender identity and expression changes depending on the season! This is completely in line with what I've been saying for a year!

1:46:53 It's the gender season of reveal everybody! The gender season. That's why people are named autumn and summer, and winter... And fall. Okay so there's that and then we have this is a new movement that I caught early here this is the trans prepper Oh, this is good. With concentration camps looming in the United States here's what queer people are doing Yes I said concentration camps you can f*** off MAGA We are getting a go bag ready we are getting all of our documents ready so driver's license birth certificate social security card passport Now if you have to revert your passport and your documents to previously said gender identities that you were born with do so

1:47:47 I'm allowed to do so with my driver's license that says ex on it in the state that i'm in. I'm going Monday to revert that to My gender assigned at birth, so The next step, we're gonna have a go bag with shoes closed for seven days. Dehydrated food think astronaut food for seven days? We're gonna have $1,000 cash or prepaid credit card on hand and this is just for the emergency this isn't for permanency this is for a week of getting by off-the-grid We're going to have anything ready for the pets that we're taking with us. So put some cat litter in your trunk, put some cat food or dog food in your trunk. Make sure there's a leash there make sure you have everything ready for everything that you're taking with you. Some lattes! Make sure your medication is available and in extra stock. So stock up on it ask your doctor for three months supply at one time

You do not need a passport to get into Canada or Mexico you just need your documents but that doesn't mean you shouldn't have a passport ready to go Have a beautiful day and stay safe my transgender family Wow trans survivalist movement That is, that's interesting.

DOGE Healthcare Report, Medicare Improper Payments

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) released a report claiming that $2.7 trillion in Medicare and Medicaid funds have been improperly paid to individuals outside the United States. The report also alleges that major U.S. healthcare corporations spent 95% of their income on shareholder payouts rather than research or staffing. Elon Musk has utilized social media to amplify these findings as part of a broader effort to expose government waste.

doge· medicare· medicaid· elon musk· healthcare industry

1:49:41 concentration camps. Okay, let's see I'm googling it as per instructed the well they had them during the Nazi era apparently. Well same thing this is the Nazi era hello yes hmm I do not google anything and current of said concentration camps Well, you're not doing it right. I'm not googling right So I got a couple of clips about Doge Okay, and I just want to say I feel bad for these people that mean if it's horrible that our our fellow citizens are have been so psyoped into this insanity And I wish there was something I could do for them

1:50:29 You're doing what you can. I am, i'm doing what I can But it's not enough obviously and they don't you know they won't listen at some point At some point when you go over the cliff... ...You're in free fall there's not really any way There is no superman coming to stop you from hitting the bottom In your opinion, having a decade on me is there anything like this that has happened in the past with any group that felt so marginalized that they were prepping and fleeing for fear of their government? The regular preppers. Well yeah They've been around forever so this is just an offshoot I don't see the difference really

1:51:11 So I'm gonna start with this clip. This is Brooks, because Brooks and K-Part were on yacking about everything and so...I just took this little snippet from Brooks and then the guy, I feel bad about him he's delusional and this little lecture he gives here is Is, I'm just about a guy missing the point. where the social capital is low. Is this a, does Brooks have a TikTok account? Is that what he's doing this? This is not on PBS Yes, this is on PBS. Is he on Zoom? What is it? No, just the way it sounds... He's remote on this one Oh yeah, he's remote Donald Trump was elected by those people you'd think he'd care enough about them to do something on behalf of the people who elected him

1:52:12 Instead, he's going after USAID. He is going after any place where there might be liberal people with college degrees and so what we're seeing is not populism What were seeing as sort of Ivy League right wing nihilism And to me that is so disorienting and shocking and appalling That you can't even serve the legitimate needs of the people who put you in power They are totally off-the board this last month We need something to happen We need some kind of win that, you know like stopping a war or something that can just put everybody on different tracks. I don't know if i can handle another four more years of this

1:52:56 Well, the thing that bothers me is that he doesn't understand that what Doge is doing is exactly what these voters wanted. And showing the corruption and waste of their taxpayer money is exactly helping them I don't know what he's talking about! I do have two more clips...I want to play The Doge Report there's a woman who comes on every day Twitter and this is often released by Musk who does the Doge report. And here's the one she just did on the health care industry which is worth listening to because I may be bringing these in more often then I have that bonus clip I want to play. The doge report, healthcare edition so just found that the US Health Care Corporation spent

1:53:42 95% of their income to shareholder payouts. Not on more research, not on staffing issues, not on infrastructure but shareholder payouts that totaled about $2.6 trillion over the last 20 years. Fun fact the US taxpayers pay about 70 percent of those fees. Also just breaking, if that wasn't enough to make it too fit to be tied 2.7 trillion again $2.7 trillion has been improperly paid out in Medicare and Medicaid

1:54:33 to people outside of our country. I hope you heard me, i didn't say million, i didn't say billion, i said 2.7 trillion dollars of taxpayer money has been improperly paid in medicare and medicaid to people outside the United States Thank God for Doge, for exposing this. For showing you how they are robbing us blind like wasting our money and lining their pockets more to come I'm gonna tag on to this and yes i'd like you to keep on I saw that but I think it's your beat now as You definitely Keep tabs on her reports breaking

RFK Jr. Swearing-In, Medical Board Investigations

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. delivered an acceptance speech following his swearing-in, promising to challenge the "orthodoxy" of the medical establishment. Kennedy announced plans for the Justice Department to investigate collusion between the pharmaceutical industry and medical boards that de-license dissenting physicians. He also threatened criminal and civil RICO actions against medical journals that refuse to publish studies challenging commercial interests.

rfk jr· donald trump· nih· rico· pharmaceutical industry

1:55:16 She should do a little better job breaking, just breaking right now. She's kind of an amateur doing good work But when it comes to the voter base who wanted all this and the medical industrial complex for lack of a better term RFK Jr.'s acceptance speech when he was sworn in with the president there addressed exactly this President Trump has promised to restore the American dream in this country. A healthy person has a thousand dreams, a sick person only has one. 60% of our population has only one dream that they get better. President Trump has promised that he's gonna restore America strength but we can't be a strong nation if we have a weak citizenry. If people are sick, 60% of our people are sick 77%,

1:56:14 as President Trump mentioned, if our children cannot qualify for military service. And we need a man on a white horse now. We need somebody who is willing to come in and has the spine and the guts and the strength that challenge orthodoxies, to stand in the way of vested interests, and break institutions that have turned against our democracy President Trump has shown again and again that he is that hero. Yeah, sucking up a little bit but I love the basic premise healthy people have 1,000 dreams sick people have one. That's so right!

1:56:58 It's spot on. Before we get to the last clip, which is the one that the bonus clip I have a RFK clip too Which is this is one of these clips where it's like you know? I'd like to see this if he can do it This was and wanted the turning point meetings My initial inclination would be to use the Justice Department and the moral authority of the office, but also you know the Justice Department should immediately call in to begin an investigation on medical boards. And the collusion between pharmaceutical industry and medical boards that are de-licensing these physicians who actually try to heal patients and then try to treat them

1:57:47 The Justice Department will also call in the medical journals that are corrupted by the pharmaceutical industry and explain to them that they're all going to be subject to criminal and civil RICO actions if they don't show us a way that they're gonna stop revoking studies and refusing to publish studies that challenge the mercantile interests of pharmaceutical companies. We're going to change the way business is done at NIH." Now he does leave him, this is new now he's like I'm gonna leave them out if they show that they can change their ways yes but this is gonna be rough because they're gonna push back on so here's the bonus clip this was sent by our

Joe Rogan Interview Fallout, Bitcoin and Stablecoins

A recent appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience regarding the stablecoin system and Bitcoin has generated significant social media debate. While some high-profile figures like Bill Ackman and James O'Keefe shared clips of the technical explanation, others like Amazing Polly criticized the segment as being pro-control grid. The discussion emphasizes the difficulty of communicating complex economic strategies in a media environment prone to rapid, often decontextualized, reactions.

joe rogan· bitcoin· stablecoins· amazing polly· bill ackman

2:00:57 Biden, you know boasting about this. Boasting about how great this was gonna be and we're gonna take care of it and we're gonna solve everything but it's that last bit that has people so spun up even you know who was out there hammering on me? Amazing Polly! What did amazing Polly have to say? Well... I knew this already, but this time was different. When you go on Rogan... You're not on Rogan and you're not done when you walk out the studio No-no That's when it all starts Then people make clips. People make clips and just that there's a lot of stuff going on, and it was a lot you know just because of the things I discussed there were a lot of big accounts that tweeted these clips so Bill Ackman he was tweeting about what... because i basically laid out the stablecoin system.

2:01:58 What's his face? James O'Keefe. So, O'Keefe tweets out a piece... so we got a lot of leverage out of it but when I can tell you that when someone sends me a note in email about the Rogan show, I know immediately if they listened to it or if they watched it The people who watched it then people have lost the ability to listen Yeah well we've proven that on this show I mean, but if we take our clips and the two of us both of us do the same thing. We hear stuff that we wouldn't have heard if we watched it just gets so incredibly bad when its video

2:02:39 And particularly, you know a clip might not have a little bit of... this is the thing I've trained myself in. You know do you have to go and find the original listen to the context of the clip then so Rogan says what do you think are shit coins? I'm like there's only one it's Bitcoin and that's it and everything else is no good And I said, you know Bitcoin is it's there's a whole bunch of benefits to it. But I said the way it seems to be going and then I went into my whole spiel about stablecoin how its being put on top of treasuries And so my basic premise was, no I'm good with Bitcoin. But amazing Polly and oh and also said you know a lot...I said the same thing on this show A lot of people are pretty spun up thinking the PayPal mafia they're going to encapsulate us in this control grid and we're all gonna be forced cancer mRNA shots. And I said Joe these people have been on your show they seem pretty nice but a lot of people don't trust them

2:03:40 And so what I actually was saying was the opposite of what amazing Polly, like, oh yeah you're over these guys. Oh they were on his show so they must be good and I'm like did you actually listen to what i said? No, these people have lost the ability. And this is why we are the best podcast in the universe because if you don't have video, you kind of have to listen to the show and no one shares audio clips let's be honest about it. They don't? Why would they share an audio clip when they can see a waveform bouncing around? That's what people want on their

2:04:16 on their TikTok and on YouTube and on Twitter, I've got to share a video. Unless the video has big captions right on top of the video then people kind of understand what you're saying but at that point why are you even watching the video? You're reading the text! Yeah, so...I don't know. So you got grief Oh yeah, I mean there's a lot of people who like the thing. You can tell the people who listen to it but it was just surprising to me that people who... we respect Amazing Polly! No. Yeah, I've always thought she did good work though. No no all I did was lay out what is happening and what the strategy is with the US dollar and now all of a sudden I'm pro control grid so your money is controlled. Like hmmm

2:05:07 No, I actually said here's the... and then she responds to that is oh yeah! I'm for the little man. You're only for the billionaires. It's an example you can send $10 That's crazy. It's crazy people are obviously she got under your skin with her no interpretation of what you had to say No, I'm just sad. I'm sad that people are so spun up They're ready to pounce the minute they even hear something that fits with their Their thinking or bias or whatever? You want to call it they just bounce and so we have this contradicts their thinking yeah well But the thing is I wasn't contradicting her thinking

2:05:55 She didn't even know but is perceived yet perceived. Well, no not even perceived just Confirming that the minute I bring up what might happen or what you know What a strategy is then it's like I'm all for it. I'm just saying that people are Losing their minds they're losing their mind news to you. No gambling going well I didn't expect people like amazing Polly to lose her mind and Or other people who hear something we say like, you know that guy's been anti-war and Austrian economics has said that's what we are. We're anti war! You couldn't be more pro Austrian economics if your pro Bitcoin to be honest about it but the whole world is gone crazy

2:06:46 It's a little tiring. It's gone nuts! It's exactly what is happening, they're going nuts and so people who listen to the show take their time Listen while you're washing the dishes walking the dog driving in your car Which I think is going to increase now that everybody has to go back to work And you don't have time to be watching videos all day long. This is why The No Agenda Show is good for you because it calms you down because you get a little bit of insight into what is actually being said and not all this breaking, breaking, breaking. Oh my God! You're on fire! Alert. Yeah alert

I have to be reminded. I mean, I didn't even know it was President's Day weekend until we had some friends come over Last night we went out to dinner and like, what is it? It's busy in town. What is this craziness as people parked everywhere and I just seen the newsletter. I'm like, oh, it's President's Day weekend and it's kind of Valentine's day weekend And for us, it's just normal

2:08:58 You know, I'm prepping up until five o'clock because we're going out to dinner. It's like normal business for us and i would like to say regarding the newsletter alert alert alert breaking breaking for those of you who use apple of iphones ios They've redone their mail, Apple Mail client. You wouldn't know about this I wouldn't know about it but I learned it from Tina very similar to Gmail now they automatically separate your email into promotions so they've got four tabs at the top so if you haven't seen your newsletter It may be in a different tab now

2:09:43 And I don't know... I should also mention, as you brought that Apple up. Apple Pay works with Stripe. Google Wallet works with Stripe and so does Bitcoin. Bitcoin works with Stripe? If you look at the page noagendedonations.com and that takes you to the Stripe page And you'll see the little Bitcoin marker there. I haven't seen anyone get anything through using it, but people keep complaining about oh you should do this and that so we do it and nothing happens! I'm looking for the little bit...I don't see the bitcoin thing. There's no bitcoin thing there. There is no bitcoin thing? I see an Amex. Do I have to click on donate would that be it? Let me click on donate. Clicking on donuts. I'm clicking on crypto! You can donate crypto!!

2:10:37 Yeah, you have to click on donate to get the anything. Then you can click on crypto. I'll test it! And if you were doing this on an iPhone a little Apple iPhone IPay thing would crop up but it probably didn't because you're onto your computer Yes of course Same with Google Wallet Mm-hmm Oh sexy So it's now, it's even easier to support your No Agenda show. Is that what you're saying? Yeah! Well that... It's technically easier but it's going to be harder for the penny pinchers out there that don't like to listen and won't support the show. Talk a big game. Never gonna support this show. Talk a big game. Oh yeah I'd do if you did this okay But I was about to donate but then no you said uh you know you played a Jared Kushner clip so you're clearly a boomer Zionist piece of crap. I can't donate now

2:11:24 I don't always agree with you. It's all right, this is the beauty of our show The beauty of our show is that you don't have to You know it's called the value for value model And, you know if you get value out of the show, you send it back somehow. If you don't then... You're a douchebag! We try to make it easy. Yeah we try and make it very easy. But you can do that all kinds of different ways. You can support us with time and your talent which the artists always do. For the last show episode 1737 appropriately titled Swastikars, which I thought was kind of genius title

2:12:06 We got art from Pickle Surprise and Pickle Surprise won the Valentine's Day art which we now, we almost didn't pick Valentine's day art because John has no love in his life at all apparently and was like oh no I don't know if you should pick Valentine's day art why are we supporting that commercial crap? That's what I said, why are we supporting this commercial crap? We normally support national holidays. I do say that's true but there was nothing better than this piece. The piece wasn't as elaborate as some of the other Valentine's Day pieces which were really kind of busy but interesting with the simplicity and the execution itself

2:12:49 Yeah, it was well done. Now I have to say that I used a piece... Did you use the brown cheese? We both considered using the brown cheese heart which by the way turns out brown cheese comes from Norway not from Denmark sorry for misgendering your cheese everybody I use the like a wrecking ball piece by Douglas McCartsey. Mick Artsy. Yeah, with Doge Dog on it? The Doge Dog! Yep yep yep yep. I just thought that was dynamite. Now do you know what this wrecking ball refers to? Yeah yeah

I was like why would you call yourself Topeka if you're in Kansas? Here it is Robin says, I started listening in June 2023 and donating by November 2023 because the worker is worth his wages and you two are absolutely worth the value. This what I'm talking about I was within $50 of making Damehood and looking for an appropriate numbered donation. This is 51538, should have mentioned that...51538

2:17:45 Then I read about the Commodore Special, which i think this is the last week for the Commodore Special now. I'm gonna extend it. You're a pushover. And show people to give up on it! You're a pushover... I couldn't manage it last time but I'm flush with cash at the moment so it has to be named Commodore R.C Tolbert God's blessings on you and Gitmo Nation Thank-you Robin we appreciate that So Jay calls me Yeah Hey, what is this? Why are these people asking for Commodore ships?" I said. We reintroduced it like two newsletters ago. Does she not read the newsletter? I called her out on it. She didn't read the newsletter and she's not listening to the show so we can say anything we want about her now Oh really! And probably doesn't even show up because you know she's an iPhone user. She wouldn't be caught dead with a green bubble

2:18:37 No, she's not an iPhone user. Really? Respect my husband! But Brennan I think is... her husband Well that's disappointing very disappointing Mimi at least listens live sometimes She lives live but unfortunately she only listens live Too much work Sir Don by the way is in Owensboro Kentucky he's up next with 515 38 Sir Donovan, the Candianavian Nancy Nichols happy Valentine's Day Commodore Donald Bartholomew Adam reach out to Liberty Tree podcast. I'm sorry read it that way but this... No that's what is says. What is says? They would benefit from your value for value guidance

2:19:27 The Liberty Tree podcast could benefit from the value for value guidance. That would be, means they need to lecture. No Jingles No Karma NSDQ Blue Skies by 1538. I have no idea if he's a good comic. He got a Commodore ship and I don't know what else? It's very interesting people will actually email me or CC me on an email to a podcaster and say You know, I'm introducing you to Adam Curry. He has great sound. I'm sure he'll help you out Yeah Like no like okay Paul Fellner is in Mitchell South Dakota 515 38 that is another Commodore ship up I see No note for Paul Is there any note? I don't have a note from him either. I don't know what here's gonna have to come and leave Well, I'm gonna give him a double-up karma then just for good measure Scott

2:20:21 Karma. I like the fact that everyone who took the Commodore ship and there's three of them today We'll put an announcement together for all of them later, not in today's show necessarily. But they all coughed in the extra money for the cover the fees. That's beautiful because it's $500 right? They've put into 15th or whatever. Yeah that's 500 dollars for the comedy. Much appreciated people much appreciated. Ronnie Ross in Burns Tennessee ITM gents, my buddy Martin Carter hit me in the mouth on November 2018 and he's never donated. Please call him out as a douchebag! I have only recently donated $20 in the past and need to de-douching. You've been de-douched And I will mention that he came with 420 dollars so that is big dedouching for him

2:21:13 After this Dave Smith nonsense and another phenomenal appearance on Rogan, I felt compelled to donate. This is a Rogan donation. Is it a Rogan donation or Scott Horton donation? I think it's...it's a toss-up Oh, because Dave Smith was the one that was... Yeah. Who was angry at me about what you said. So it's a combo? It's a combo-doe. It's a combo-doe. Combo-doe. Adam I know you quit smoking but also know that the bong rip is recorded short jingle and i've noticed has been two years and counting since any producers have asked for the bong rip Do any producers smoke anymore?!

Oh really? Yeah he's been around for a long time. But I you know you caught me off guard after two and half hours of the podcast and there was someone raving or ranting about Trump being the gimp for Netanyahu And then of course I said throw that in the bin with The View which doesn't mean I equate anyone to The View but that clip certainly was

2:23:25 Anyway, Scott Horton donation! More of this please. I normally give $5 a month sustaining donation which is a pathetically small amount but...I figure hey if everyone did that we could listen to the show coming to us live from Adam's yacht in John's lavish underground bunker oh yeah that'll be the day First heard of you guys during a COVID anti-mask rally, some guy grabbed the microphone and yelled out... Is this really true? This is amazing. And yelled out everyone should listen to The No Agenda Show! Man I wish i had a clip of that. I wish we had that guy.

Associate Executive Producers, Global Listener Donations

A diverse group of international listeners, including producers from Abu Dhabi, the Netherlands, and Australia, are recognized for their financial support. Notable mentions include a "Sheikh" from Abu Dhabi requesting camel milk at the banquet table and a resume writer from Colorado. The segment concludes with a reminder of the show's reliance on listener "treasure" to maintain its independent production model.

He is from enilria.com, e-nilria dot com it's airline backwards I posted about rumors of a Southwest Airlines and JetBlue tie up! I don't think it's a merger as too many people are whispering probably interline as in joint boarding passes and bag transfer or code share if out the southwest IT can get their heads out of 1979

2:34:38 Of course it could all collapse if Southwest IT says no, they can't do any of it. It also requires Southwest pilot approval which is a maybe We have a lot of southwest pilots give us the dirt boys and girls Southwest barely exists north of Baltimore and that's where JetBlue was big this talk Trump will be laissez-faire on airline mergers But there were none on his prior watch I donated $200 this week just mentioned in E-Nil-Ria. It's so difficult, it's airline backwards. e-nilria dot com But my blog is freemium! free

2:35:35 Look at it later. Thank you very much brother he's actually given us a lot of good airline dirt in the past He's a he's a very good resource and decided to add some treasure to his time and talent this time around So we wrap it up with Linda Lupeck in our buddy, Lakewood Colorado who writes jobs car machine once and says for a winning resume and faster job search, go to imagemakersinc.com that's Image Makers Inc with a K and work with Linda Liu Duchess of Jobs and writer of resumes your go-to!

Manamana... manamana Hey did you hear about the new non-addictive painkiller the FDA approved right before RFK Jr came in?

CHAPTER 31 / 40 Discussion

Dronavix FDA Approval, Non-Addictive Painkiller Claims

The FDA has approved Dronavix, a new non-addictive alternative to opioids for treating acute pain. While clinical trials compared the drug to placebos and hydrocodone, critics point out that it was only tested on a few hundred people before being cleared for the general population. Medical professionals are being encouraged to monitor real-life data as the medication is introduced to patients with chronic conditions.

dronavix· fda· opioids· acute pain· clinical trials

2:37:22 No, but I'm sure it's addictive. It's funny you say that! Dronavix was just approved by the FDA as an alternative to opioids because makers say it is not addictive. Family doctor Nita Bajor is joining us now she's from Oakview Medical Association. Brand new lab coat, fresh out of the PR wardrobe closet. She's got her stethoscope on which is all... It's bejeweled? What do you call it? Bedazzled! She's got a name tag she got stuff like

2:37:58 Almost like metals. It's just completely decked out. Associates here in Greenville, thanks for joining us today Thank you for having me By the way wasn't it Greenville? Didn't we hear from someone that Greenville is where they test all these like new food and new medications Remember that? I don't recall that but there are places around the country where that is true I think it was Greenville yeah Dora is joining us now she's from Oakview Medical Associates here in Greenville Thanks for joining us today Thank you for having me How does it work So it's brand new. It inhibits the receptor for, there is a specific receptor in the pain pathway that it inhibits and thereby lowers the pain signal for the patient so its used mainly for acute pain Would you say it just as effective as an ibuprofen or like how does it compare to other pain medications? I think in studies they compared it to placebo and hydrocodone acetaminophen which is kind of one of the traditional pain medications

2:38:52 and they found that it was more efficacious, um... Wow. And pretty good in relieving acute pain More efficacious than placebo? Okay So it works I mean I think thats what people really want to know It works! Right Oh thats what people really wanna hear It works, it works Acute pain so.. Okay So it works I mean I think thats what people really wanna know Are there any side effects we need to know about it Side effects As with others, I mean i think the concern is because it's not an opioid. Is it going to also cause addictive or dependence potential and that let's see as the clinicians start using it more and more we need real life data what um to help us with that but supposed to be pretty well tolerated We'll just see how it pans out Wait a minute! The FDA has approved this

2:39:38 But we do. How many people did you test? Yeah, I think I read it up on the studies and have said it was tested on a couple hundred people. Right. But again, you really need to be given two millions of people. Oh yeah. Everybody will find out later. Lab rats that's what you are. People lab rats see what any side effects could mean because you know, we have patients with many multiple chronic conditions and so when we introduce a medication, we're always monitoring and educating our patients. So safety comes first. Safety comes first by testing it on you! Safety comes first. All right well we look forward to seeing how effective it is and having another option besides opioids Absolutely I think hopefully we're excited about it so thank you Dr. Bajor We are excited about it this RFK jr stop this immediately that is not okay

Philadelphia Mayor Gaffe, Censorship Comment

The Mayor of Philadelphia is criticized for a verbal slip in which she stated she was "serious about doing the work of censoring the American people." The hosts debate whether the comment was a simple gaffe or a "Freudian slip" revealing underlying political intentions. The clip has circulated widely online, with some observers labeling the mayor's performance as "NPC-like."

philadelphia· mayor· censorship· gaffe· npc

2:40:31 That is not okay. I have a couple of Truth Wanna Come, wants to come out very short clips we start with the mayor of Philadelphia you recall she's well known for her... Yeah she can't talk She can't catch your break Reminded us all through their excellence that nothing is possible when we work together as a team Nothing is possible when we work together. willing to work with anyone who's serious about doing the work of censoring the American people and advancing progress. Okay, censoring the American people and advancing progress? Yeah that makes sense It's amazing these people just say what they really mean What did she even intend to say

2:41:33 What word did she mean instead of censoring? Yeah, you know I heard that clip's a week old and I almost had it for the show but... And I was trying to decode it too and couldn't come up with anything. I have no idea what she might've been thinking. Censoring the American people I can't. It doesn't, I don't know... same reaction you have yeah somebody out in the mood somebody in the troll room should know it just takes a breakthrough and thinking to get them what she's trying to say they're flaying her right now. She's an NPC! They've got no other explanation for that she wasn't supposed to speak

CHAPTER 33 / 40 Discussion

Blackhawk Helicopter Crash, NTSB Preliminary Report

The NTSB released a preliminary report on the collision between a military Blackhawk helicopter and a regional jet. The investigation suggests that a 0.8-second microphone key-up by the helicopter crew may have "stepped on" a critical tower transmission. The hosts debate the technical limitations of legacy half-duplex radio systems in aviation and the risks of conducting military training exercises near busy commercial airports.

blackhawk· ntsb· aviation· half-duplex· night vision goggles

2:42:15 New details on the unfortunate crash between the Blackhawk helicopter and the regional jet, although this report kind of made me mad the way they characterized it. And I also don't know if this is actually what happened or this is the full reason for it, but there are two reasons that we're hearing now. One... Yeah! I didn't want to get any of this but since you brought it up after you play the clip I do have a question just kind of a rhetorical question. Okay all right good oh you can ask the questions and the pilot will answer This particular flight was a check ride for the pilot flying The Black Hawk

2:42:59 Generally, a checkride is a practical exam that a pilot must pass to be qualified to perform specific aircrew or mission duties. The Army does three types of checkrides... By the way you'll hear the term CVR that is cockpit voice recorder instrument, annual and night vision goggles. The helicopter crew was likely wearing night vision goggles throughout the flight." The NTSB says the helicopter pilots had an altitude discrepancy and weren't aware of how high they were this video shows a helicopter crashing into the passenger jet around 845 January 29th. The American Airlines flight from Wichita Kansas was cleared for landing after last minute but routine runway change

2:43:43 Audio from air traffic control reveals the military pilot acknowledged he saw the jet approaching the runway. Today investigators revealing a potential technical glitch. 17 seconds before impact, the radio transmission from the tower was audible on both CVRs directing the Blackhawk to pass behind the CRJ The portion of the transmission that stated past behind may not have been received by the black Hawk crew Transmission was stepped on by a 0.8 second mic key from the Blackhawk. And NTSB investigators say the preliminary report could take up to 30 days but the full report could take up to a year before it's released So, the only thing before you ask your question The only thing that really makes me mad is it was not a glitch When you key up the mic

2:44:43 then you don't hear anything but yourself speaking so they may have keyed up and stepped on the transmission. But that's not a glitch, that's just unfortunate in 0.8 second that someone just clicked on and then heard probably heard there was a message coming in and let go right away The appropriate response would've been say again but that didn't happen Your question? Couple of things Why Are these communication systems half duplex? What specific, in this day and age... what specific reason are they half-duplex because if they were full duplex it wouldn't matter whether you keyed up or not.

2:45:35 Well, it's legacy. There is also a separate issue... distance is another so the I believe the military uses amplitude modulation and everyone else uses frequency modulation AM FM they also use different bands which by itself is a problem because they don't the aircraft don't hear each other but they both hear what the tower says because the power of the tower broadcast on both frequencies It's legacy. It's pure legacy and full duplex would require digital, I think. I don't think you could... No it wouldn't!

2:46:13 Well, you'd be sending and receiving. You'd be sending on one frequency and receiving on the other. There's offsets? It's like going to a repeater? There are lots of ways of doing it but it is beside... But the question is legacy is not an excuse for this kind of technology. Half duplex? Are you kidding me?! Hold on a second. Repeaters aren't… If you're talking in a repeater, you're not able to have someone else speak at the same time Okay, well let's just ignore that what I said there the point is that there's no reason in the world You can't have full duplex communication in this day and age. I think there is I don't think it's very What how I can talk on the phone as full duplex a to an old-fashioned telephone with a carbon microphone Yeah Well if you want to have a very long string attached to your aircraft That would work I can do it with a wireless phone

2:47:14 If I'm on a wireless phone or if iIm on a cell phone, I can hear you talking and while I am talking. How is that different? I don't know why you're defending this." I'm defending it because I do not think its technically feasible. When you have a duplex phone call, you have a full-time connection so you cannot have everybody having a full time connection Technically, I don't think it's that feasible John. I really don't. Well, I'd like to hear from somebody out there who is a radio expert Even though you're a general Yes! I think it IS feasible and I don't understand why they have this whole idea that the thing clicked on for an eighth of a second When did you have a ham radio conversation with full duplex that wasn't digital? Never! I've had plenty of conversations on a telephone Yes but...

2:48:08 I'm not hearing anybody else's phone. They're all separate, they're on separate channels are all doing it using the cell system? I don't see how this can be done with airplanes. It is one call at a time you can have 20 calls open with everybody at the same time How many transmitters do you want? If so if the tower is transmitting I think it should go to...it does go to everybody after if they're not keyed up Well, you're now the new FAA administrator because you're asking for something which I don't think is technically feasible in the setting of aviation. I would like to hear from others It just doesn't make sense to me that we're... this is a technology that's so old it's ludicrous and you yourself defended it as legacy which indicates its old Its functional The legacy part is really the AM versus FM for distance

2:49:04 Upgrade. I just don't, well we have plenty of smart people who can tell us how it would be possible. I don't think it's possible in a multi-station setting you could have a full duplex with one person but you can't have a full duplex with 10 planes. I just don't see how that would then your all no I don't see that working what is your other question? that well, I, the other question was it seems to me that the whole thing is because of the bad altimeter. Yes. You know like they emphasize that who's the manufacturer? No no no no that's not how it works. The when you are flying in airspace

2:49:44 The tower, oh actually there's a you can tune to the ATIS so there's a special frequency and you can listen to the current weather conditions at the airfield. And they will give you an altitude pressure number standard is 29.9 And so if the air, if the pressure is higher or lower than you'll have maybe it'll be 30.1 or 30.2 and that's the only way you can determine your altitude from my understanding they both they had two different altitude indications which means they both either didn't listen to the current setting

2:50:27 or the current broadcast of the current barometric pressure was wrong, but that doesn't make a lot of sense. It's it's a big cock up is what it is and here's another one why are we having military training exercises in what in and around the most busy airport in the world? Well that I can't answer I don't think it's a good idea either, other than that they were flying a continuity of government mission which would require this. And then there is also the night vision goggles which reduces your field of view from 75% with your peripheral vision to 40%. But we may never know. That's what they said! We won't know for another year at least and then we'll all have forgotten about it as usually goes

African Union Summit, DRC and Sudan Conflicts

Leaders of the African Union met in Ethiopia to address ongoing conflicts in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Sudan. M23 rebels have reportedly seized Bukavu, a major city in eastern DRC, while fighting continues between the national army and paramilitary forces in Sudan. The summit also addressed the impact of the Trump administration's freeze on foreign aid for health and agriculture programs across the continent.

2:51:20 And we may never actually get the full details because the military doesn't like to talk about it. So, African news that you got to do this once in a while. What's Africa news? African leaders are meeting in Ethiopia this weekend for their annual summit with conflicts and the Democratic Republic of Congo and Sudan topping the agenda heavy fighting continues in both countries In the DRC rebels have seized another strategic city in the east Emmanuel Ngunza reports from Nairobi. African leaders arrived in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia as Rwanda backed M23 rebels have seized Bukavu the second largest city in Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo amid heavy fighting with the Congolese army In Sudan the National Army continues to gain ground against their paramilitary rapid support forces with both sides refusing peace talks

2:52:11 UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, who is at the African Union Summit has urged leaders to propose solutions to conflicts that have displaced millions. Several side meetings will discuss US President Trump's freeze on foreign aid which has severely impacted American funded programs for health water and agriculture across the continent For NPR News I'm Emmanuel Igunza in Nairobi Okay! I have a real problem with NPR I mean, they have no problem whatsoever using a British guy for something that's going on in America about our own news. But then the minute it's about Africa they have to bring an African guy in and you barely understand. It just isn't compelling to listen to its bad Africa news BAN Bad African News That's what is being called from now on. I don't understand why they do it

National Parks Access, MAGA Exclusion Rhetoric

A viral video features a creator threatening to confront MAGA supporters at National Parks, claiming they "don't deserve" access to federal lands. The rhetoric stems from the firing of probationary workers at the U.S. Forest Service as part of DOGE-led efficiency cuts. The speaker argues that those who support billionaire-led deregulation should stay indoors rather than enjoy protected environmental spaces.

2:53:07 I just don't understand. It's so wrong! It's wrong, it's very wrong. But she does look like a pig and sorry then she well. She's now she's gonna, and she's hates mega You're out here celebrating Elon Musk and his supposed Finding fraud which he's not I better not see you at a National Park this summer. I better not see you any Federal Preserve or national monument our National Park if you were one of those red hats get out

2:53:53 Get out. You know what they say the outdoors are for everyone not for you, babe It's not for you if your a MAGA fan The outdoors are not for you and national parks or not for you why because they just fired all She did it Hypophora, you know I can't believe in cash yeah for you if your MAGA fan The outdoors are not for you and national parks are not for you. Why? Because they just fired all probationary workers from the US Forest Service, good luck getting any bathrooms cleaned this summer. Good luck having rangers for programs. Good luck doing anything for our national parks because you just decided that that was fraud and that wasn't needed even though things like USAID or 1% of the budget because you don't know how to do research and you're so busy sucking up to billionaires and watching our

2:54:38 federal lands be opened up for oil drilling and for exploration when they should be protected. You think that they're going to do anything to protect the environment? They absolutely are not because you are so far off a billionaire that you have no idea what's going on. So here's the thing, if I see your camper or your ginormous truck at campground this summer at a national park campground, I might be confronting you. I hope it's your red hat anywhere on the trails because you don't deserve it The outdoors aren't for you stay inside What is a point of these threats? Throw at these people well and by the way, what does that call again when you say why would there's a phrase you use hypophora? Hypo hypo hypophora with a pH hypophora hypophora why

DOGE Impersonators, San Francisco City Hall Incident

Three men wearing MAGA hats and DOGE shirts reportedly attempted to enter San Francisco City Hall to demand digital information from employees. The Sheriff's Office confirmed the incident but stated the men were not actual representatives of the Department of Government Efficiency. Separately, a technical theory suggests that "150-year-old" Social Security recipients identified by DOGE may actually be data entry errors where missing dates default to 1875 in COBOL programming.

doge· san francisco· city hall· elon musk· social security

2:55:31 Because that's the name. I think it's a good show title is the reason why I asked. Yeah, it's a very reasonable show title Well on just on the doge front and I don't know this is true we have a lot of producers in the Virginia and Maryland and DC area I keep seeing these real estate app maps that are being posted with every home is for sale And all these new listings Is that true? is my question, then is that exceptional for all of these homes to be for sale suddenly? I would like to know from our... and are any of you guys selling your home. That'd be another question the second thing is I thought this was quite interesting I know you saw it as well about the 150 year old social security recipient

2:56:25 Which can mean several things. It could be someone who's receiving on behalf and there is a lot of different things that could be, but I like this one the most and I think I got this on X. I'm a coder experience coders no COBOL. No, no, no Coders with experience in COBOL know COBOL, right? You're being a little douchey here. Yeah you might as well throw Fortran in while you're at it. Young coders don't! Okay young coders... It's a legacy code When the Musk, when THE Musk claims Social Security is paying thousands of 150 year olds I think someone should let him know that in COBOL if a date is missing the program defaults to 1875 which is apparently when these COBOL programmers were born. So... If you have 2025 minus 1875 it's 150 lol you idiots

2:57:24 Interesting. We have a lot of COBOL people who listen to the show, I'd love to hear about that and of course I don't think any social security date field should be empty to start with if your birth year is not in there it doesn't make sense to me either but actually the Social Security number will trace back to your birthday how do you how do you figure that Every number is recorded and the birth date, to get your social security card you have to put your birth date down. It's encoded in the number. Yeah there is a linkage. Can you decode your birth date from the social security number? I've always believed that you could but I don't know that you can

2:58:10 That's interesting. What is your social security number? Hey, why don't you blow me! And by the way this thing about oh they got this and all that... I could find your social security number out if i really wanted to it's out there All right you find my social security number Okay I of course will confirm with you if correct Okay, I'll dig around. You already know where I live you got a map of my home with a picture And that's all out there thanks to you Thanks to you! I have gotten some nice gifts so I'll admit... You've got some gifts? No, I didn't get anything Sorry I got your your home address off the internet But here's a gift So now every package every box that comes if it doesn't say Amazon on it and let Phoebe sniff at first and then I poke It with a stick

2:59:01 I'm not gonna open anything that you send to me. I gotta get some kid in the neighborhood to open my packages. Hey, kid! Now you're talking. Give me these five bucks This is the funniest Doge thing i've heard of it's up in your neck of the woods Get a load of this San Francisco city officials are confirming three guys claiming to be from the department of government efficiency or doge Tried to enter their offices today and get info they were dressed in doge shirts wore the red MAGA hats, according to the Sheriff's Office. They went into these offices at City Hall around noon today and demanded employees turn over digital information The employees refused called the sheriff's office but these men left before deputies got there The sheriff's office doesn't think these people were actually representatives from DOJ

2:59:53 President Trump created Doge when he took office in January and he has put Elon Musk in charge of that. I think it's great! I like the idea, that's pretty clever Now a different reporter heard they had Elon Musk masks on which is you know would kind of be a giveaway I think but I like... I would say Even the MAGA hat, can we get like a doge badge? Maybe that's something. Is there a Doge badge? Well, it's not the way they're doing it but okay. They're not busting in like that they already...they're in there they're already working their I'm from The Doge! I'm here to check your records. I have two clips from NPR that I've been sitting on for awhile because I have a complaint. Oh, they must be warm This is the polar bear de-icing story

CHAPTER 37 / 40 Discussion

Polar Bear Fur Study, De-Icing Properties

Researchers at the University of Bergen in Norway discovered that polar bear fur remains ice-free due to a specific type of grease that lacks squalene. This natural "goop" performs as well as synthetic PFAS chemicals used in ski waxes and industrial lubricants. The study suggests that the chemical structure of polar bear hair grease could lead to the development of greener de-icing fluids for commercial aircraft.

3:00:48 showed up. First I heard it on NTD like a month ago and then it showed up on NPR a couple weeks ago." Polar bears spend their days jumping from ice into water, so if they get all wet why doesn't their fur freeze? NPR science correspondent Jonathan Lambert reports on a new study in the journal Science Advances Nanophysicist Bodil Holst got interested in studying polar bear fur while watching a German quiz show. In that quiz show, I learned that polar bears are invisible in infrared cameras That essentially means that they're so well insulated that their fur takes on the temperature of their frigid surroundings. That's the case on land and when they jump into icy water to hunt Because I had been working with anti-icing it just suddenly was very puzzled because I was thinking

3:01:36 Well, how do they manage that? When they get into the water they go out again. Why did they not get covered in ice?" Meaning, they stay cold but their fur is largely free of ice. Holst who's at the University of Bergen in Norway initially thought that the structure of the fur itself might have some kind of de-icing properties So her team used a high-powered microscope and zoomed in on some fur. But as she and her colleagues were handling the fur, they noticed that it was really greasy And when they washed the fur with soap, wet it and froze it...it got icy. And so we realized that this was down to polar bear hair grease effectively. Molecular analysis of the hair grease revealed that it was chock full of certain compounds which are resistant to ice and the fur lacked a compound called squalene which is found in other marine mammals Squalene it turns out has properties that make ice stick to it Well this is riveting I'm glad you sat on this

3:02:39 Here's my question. These polar bears have been around forever and we're just discovering in 2025 that they have some sort of goop that goes into the fur and makes it so it doesn't freeze, and has de-icing properties? It took the year 2025 to figure this out? Meanwhile, we can predict climate change?! Are you kidding me?? I'm with you on that, but that of course is it kind of ruins the whole climate change polar bear deal. That too! Because oh the poor polar bear he's standing on a rock of ice... Oh he has to swim

3:03:24 I just found this an insulting piece, even though you thought it was boring. I really got worked up about it because of this 2025 we're now discovering that polar bear grease has got some de-icing properties and it took us this long to figure this out? And we've been around polar bears for a long time! This is unbelievable to me! Objection! I never said it was boring But the second part wraps it up, but it's not important. We can say that this is what makes polar bear hair grease so efficient. In fact, the team found that the squalene-free fur grease performed about as well as certain kinds of PFAS chemicals that have been used in ski waxes. Holst hopes her research could eventually lead to things like greener ski waxes, lubricants and even new deicing fluid for airplanes all inspired by greasy polar bear fur! This is great!

3:04:16 This is perfect. We need to kill more polar bears to de-ice our aircraft! I'm all in You don't have to kill the polar bears, the chemical structures that's what they uncovered and they could just make this stuff at a refinery Squalling? Is it same as squaling? Squalling free Oh, squalling free Ah you know what, I am outraged with you as well. I think it's crazy How come we... Have we been afraid of polar bear by the way pretty dangerous They're not also.. They are not cute as they look No, they're nasty creatures but we do shoot them once in a while. And you can get the fur and do whatever you want with it but this seems to me ridiculous that in the year 2025 they finally discover that polar bears' fur doesn't freeze up like a mustache does on some dude?

Tip of the Day, Glencairn Whiskey Glass

John C. Dvorak provides a "Tip of the Day" regarding proper glassware for alcoholic beverages, specifically recommending the Glencairn scotch whiskey glass. The glass is described as having a unique tulip shape with a footed base, designed to enhance the experience of drinking scotch. Dvorak notes that while it is technically for scotch, it is often used for bourbon, though he plans to cover wine and champagne glasses in future segments.

No, I want you to go first a tradition up his butt nice Who was that? Up his butt nice

3:16:33 Up his butt, nice. No? They're doing a hell of a job It's an amazing job they're doing Well that's too bad it's one channel only so that one drops by default By default Now we go to John's ISOs which one goes first? I guess start with damn good These boys are damn good Wow wow this is... you've got some amazing- why do i even try? Shouldn't even try anymore Slick slick show? Slick? Oof oof The best. Another spectacular show by the best! This is so hard, I think Slick Show? Slick. I like that one These boys are damn good That's kind of the funniest I kinda like- I'd go with that one I think that's the best And now everybody in a sign from the moment you've really been waiting for For three hours John's tip of the day Creative lives for you and me Just a tip with JCB And sometimes Adam

3:17:38 Created by Dana Burnetti. So I think people should have the proper glassware when they serve alcoholic beverages. Oh, I'm happy to hear this because I could not agree more. Uh...I think we do not have good glassware here in the curry compound so i'm very interested in this particular tip of the day. I could probably do a whole number these but im gonna do this one in particular because this is like This is a good one to make it really look like you know what your doing. Now I will say that I understand there's been a burgundy glass, a Bordeaux glass

3:18:16 all these different varieties of sauternes glass, they're all slightly different. You can have different glasses that the old-fashioned brandy snifter for example is passe for the last 20 years and if you pull one of those out your a rube to start with that so you either want a cognac glass or something but in this case we're going to discuss the Glen Karn scotch whiskey glass Which is the glass you everyone should have a set of these. Oh, I have this one! I think i have this one You have a Glencarn glass? I think so it's a tiny glass Not that tiny Well and it has kind of like a bulb and then at the top Well here look it up just look up Glencarn but if you want to go to glencarnwhiskeyglass.com To find one of the vendors

3:19:09 Glen car is spelled g l e n c a i r and yes, this is the one I have. Yes. I have a set You have a set Well their design first It came with the bottle I believe it came with the bottle I've got this you have to do a glass for the next three shows. This is a great I can do a lot of glass blue I think this isn't going on in cornglass is ace is the scotch whiskey glass Yes, period yes But you can serve bourbon in and all these other things, but you're kind of violating the rules. This is really a scotch glass but it's a classy looking glass. It doesn't...it's not...It's kinda stemless. It's got kind of a foot. Yeah, yeah it has no stems just the foot. It's like a tulip with a foot. Yes And this excellent glass and for scotch drinkers I would recommend this get a set of these six they have them everywhere everyone sells em' Amazon has em'. You can go to this website he just cited

3:20:10 And they're here and there. They can get pretty fancy, but just the regular one is the one you want to. I feel so bad now because... And Tina's going to be—I don't know if she's listening—because I think there are some dudes and they have bourbon —and I know it's not Scotch whiskey—but they have a bourbon that has been aged in a sherry cask? Yeah, I comment on that. Get their name… They may be in Texas actually. And they sent me... Well, bourbon can't be in Texas. They sent me their bourbon and a set of these glasses. And I... These glasses? These scotch glasses with their bourbon? Yep, yep, yep Is it okay for bourbon too? Well it's not really but it's not a bad idea It's not a bad idea supply is just that it's a good... Bad Idea Supply! I'm happy that I have the right glasses I can't wait for the next tip of the day Tipoftheday.net Noagendafund.com

3:21:09 I created a glass for you and me, just the tip with JCB. And sometimes Adam. Created by Dana Burnetti Wow! Excellent tip John this is very important...I can't wait for the red wine glass then we have the white wine glass then we have the champagne glass i'd say this is your beat for the next three shows well I could do a lot of stuff on glasses but uh.. I can do two I think you could do a book TooManyGlasses.com There you go, somebody registered that right away Thank you all very much for being here with us thank you for supporting us at NoAgendaDonations.com it means a lot and end of show mixes we have the Clip Custodian Neil Jones who sent in a very nice mix and Professor Jay Jones no relation he's in China and David Kekta excellent drummer look for him on YouTube

If all of the hostages aren't returned by Saturday at 12 o'clock, and they get some appropriate time, I would say cancel it and all bets are off and let hell break out. Pick up the gun!

3:23:29 Return all of them. Return all of them, if they're not returned, all of them. Not in drips and drabs, not two and one and three and four or two You all saw him He had a gun Bye!

3:24:25 And I'll say to him, you guys are part of a racketeering syndicate. And so he made some promises with the stroke of the pen. Rico! People who care about health... Yeah? And so he made some promises We should hold them accountable and make sure that these promises are noted Open their databases big talker. Rrrrrico! And I'll say that you guys are part of a racketeering organization. That's the 97 more to go, I can't wait. This one is associated with ASD neurological ticks or whatever We should hold him accountable and make sure these promises are noted. It is going to do this it will do that everybody has jacked up about it so he made some promises The 97 more to go, I can't wait

3:25:33 The time has come for the UK and the EU to declare a state of war with the United States. Ever since the fascist takeover by Donald Trump, Doge, Elon Musk America now represents a serious threat to democracy across the world especially in the Western world Don't be a dick What kind of interviewer says don't be a dick? I don't believe him. I don't listen to him. Well, Cooper... I don't know if he answered more on that clip because Cooper... Yeah yeah is it 14 seconds or something? Don't be a dick. I can play it out again. I have a thought about how I want to hear the don't be a dick video.

3:26:18 Yes, I said concentration camps. You can f*** Magga. We need to talk about efficiency and think of everyone's interested in government efficiency this is not government efficiency this is actually just cutting programs cutting benefits there are actual ways of saving resources and saving money one of those ways is not to give billionaires a huge tax cut The best podcast in the universe!
