About this episode

The Department of Justice faces a firestorm as federal prosecutors resign following the dismissal of corruption charges against New York Mayor Eric Adams. Critics allege a political trade involving Attorney General Pam Bondi and Judge Dale Ho, while NPR reports on perceived leniency toward figures like Andy Ogles and Jeff Fortenberry. Meanwhile, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) led by Elon Musk proposes body cameras for federal employees to ensure transparency, a move Kara Swisher claims is a front for integrating government data into private AI ventures.

In international affairs, Keith Kellogg met with Ukrainian officials in Kyiv following high-stakes US-Russia talks in Saudi Arabia. Tensions remain high as President Zelensky faces criticism from Donald Trump over missing aid funds and a low domestic approval rating. In Europe, Finland and France are at odds over seizing $300 billion in frozen Russian assets held by Euroclear, with Germany warning that such a move could destabilize the Euro. Simultaneously, independent German journalists are fleeing to Switzerland to escape state censorship and police raids over political cartoons.

Technical segments explore the Majorana 1 chip from Microsoft as a potential pivot from AI to quantum computing, alongside a breakdown of FAA modernization needs. Kevin O'Leary targets the agency's reliance on 1960s COBOL code, while Delta's CEO defends staff cuts. The episode also features a deep dive into the 'Zizzian Cult' in California, the rise of 'rent-a-chicken' services in NYC due to soaring egg prices, and a critical look at Dr. Deborah Birx comparing Long COVID to HIV.

M-Bone, Web TV, and Early Internet Nostalgia

The discussion reflects on early internet technologies including the M-Bone protocol and the 1996 Rolling Stones concert broadcast. Historical consumer products like Web TV and AOL TV are reviewed alongside technical standards such as 56k frame relay and ISDN connections.

00:00 What's the problem? AI sucks. Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak It's Thursday February 20th 2025 this is your award-winning Give Our Nation Media Assassination episode 1740 This is no agenda With a I would give anything to bring back the M-Bone. Do you know the Rolling Stones did a concert over the M-Bone? Yes, I think it was 1996. Yeah, I remember it! All 15 people were able to watch and enjoy it. It was actually 50 thousand they say... The thing is that only universities who had T1's and Spark stations could really see it

01:07 I want a number of people writing in about it. They've talked about the six bone which came now, I don't remember the six bone It was the M bone on IPv6 Oh is that when they get it? Yeah when ipv TV was going to be the next best thing Well, I beat well IPTV is actually what's in play right now yeah, but they had it it was a specific protocol and a whole thing they developed that was IPTV and they had set-top boxes for IPTV and that went nowhere. Well, what about Internet 2? Remind me of that. What was Internet 2? I forgot! Internet 2 is going to be the next big thing and it was what the universities decided to move too Yeah now everyone knows And then everyone says oh the universities are using it's gonna ruin regular internet because everyones gonna use internet 2 Yes, I do remember that well of course many people who are listening now will not remember web TV

02:11 They will remember anything and we just lost half the listenership what believe it or not kids when I was a kid You could go to Sam Goody, and you could pick up a web TV box And it brought up a browser at, I think was 2400 baud speed. No it was faster. Okay maybe... That was the 9600 baud era. 9600 baud era okay and then you had a remote control that you controlled a little pointer with on the TV and be like and it was such an experience! It was great. And Microsoft ended up buying the operation?

02:50 Wasn't it Microsoft's? No, you're right. They bought it and of course... And they bought for next to nothing! Yeah well it wasn't worth that. It was the last cheap purchase Microsoft made. It wasn't worth anything so... Well not when Microsoft got... Okay let's take it to AOL TV remember that one? I sure do Oh man, we've been through a lot John. Yeah we got a couple of old farts here talking about the old days That's right baby that's right I remember my 56k frame relay Frame relay? I had frame relay man yeah you were rocking it I had ISDN Well that was the...ISDN was 64 kilobits i think wasn't it? Yeah but there is two channels oh that's right so you got 128

Joe Rogan, Air America, and Left-Wing Media Strategy

A prediction regarding the Democratic party's need for a "Joe Rogan of the left" is revisited following a recent appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience. The conversation compares current media trends to the late 90s era of Air America and analyzes the decline of mainstream networks like CNN in favor of independent podcasts.

joe rogan· air america· rush limbaugh· cnn· podcasting· media shift

03:38 Yeah. But it was super dedicated, so it was very... And it would never dial in? It still worked to this day all TV feeds were over ISDN back in the day I remember that if you dialed in on ISDN and it would disconnect and take forever to get the connection but once you connected it did yeah So we predicted... Yeah! I remember Johnny We predict many things on this show and you actually predicted something a while back. About the left wanting a Joe Rogan on the left and you compared that to The days of Air America when was that I was trying to reminisce with Tina Was that well air America? Was it did was a once Rush Limbaugh started hitting his stride all these clones came up Michael Savage and right and all these guys went on radio, they're alright wingers. And so air America came about as

04:36 Probably in the late 90s. I'd have to like and look it up I think is nice they came about as the counter programming to all the right-wing guys on a am radio And did Microsoft wind up buying that for next enough? No, they didn't I'm surprised Well, I took your prediction made it my own took full credit for it of course and And mentioned this to Joe on my recent appearance on the Joe Rogan experience podcast what I think we'll see You know the first thing after election is we need a Joe Rogan on the left. We needed Joe rug well you know guys you basically had a Joe Rogan on the left But you were so crazy that Joe started to think right they didn't want me

05:16 That was the thing like I want you, but it's that's all the psyop working against them because in the past They could take someone like me and demonize them And it would be effective and they could just remove You from the airwaves right? And then remove you as a problem cuz you're not playing by the rules But now people go, oh you know what? I think he's the one who is actually telling the truth. Let's stop listening to them and so then CNN crashes and then Faith in Mainstream Media crashes and Faith in Podcasts rises. I think what we'll see though is... And it may come from YouTube We'll probably see them try to hype someone up to become The Joe Rogan of the left Oh they're already definitely doing that Who do you think it is? I don't care! I don't know if Joe knew but

Midas Touch Podcast, MSNBC, and Democratic Ecosystem

MSNBC reports that the Midas Touch podcast has surpassed Joe Rogan in popularity rankings. Analysis suggests this signals a shift in the Democratic media ecosystem toward "fearless" messengers and YouTube-centric political evangelism.

midas touch· joe rogan· msnbc· stephanie ruhle· chapo trap house· democrats

05:59 Headlines, headlines! Midas Touch dethrones Joe Rogan as top podcast in the country. Wait hold on... What? I never even heard of this podcast how could it be the top podcast in the country? I will explain Yes please explain to everybody Well first let's play Of course its working The hype is working as intended And here's MSNBC Stephanie Rule you know You know her, all the boys on the Goldman. Yeah another one of the lipless wonders at MSNBC All the boys in the Goldman trading floor loved her Alright new topic Joel before we go The left leaning podcast Midas Touch has just done the unthinkable Dethroned... Stop stop Wait are you telling me that Midas Touch which is a podcast I've never heard of Has replaced Chappo Trap House? Oh Chappo Trap House is nowhere to be found

06:57 They're completely gone. What happened to them? They were kicking ass! That's a good question, that is a good question I know they were bringing at least two million dollars a year. I don't know what happened to them. They had them divided amongst 25 people but it was just like the police. Joe Rogan to become the country's most popular podcast. Do you see this as a sign of a bigger political shift? Because even these three guys specifically, they are not your touchy-feely progressives. They're like three bros from Long Island. Look I think that this does signal one Democrats and let's just call it the non conservative ecosystem catching up

07:36 to where the kind of Rogan right has been. Right, Rogan was a libertarian left winger. Rogan rights it has been and they're not policy guys there by the way you got to be careful with you know your calling libertarians left wing gets me in trouble so stop it. Kind of rogue and right has been and they're not policy guys their anti-trump guys crank it out all day every day. And I do think the fact that this is organic, this is not a part of- Organic! Oh yeah! Wait for it. Ecosystem that was just built up with heavy investment from millionaires and billionaires these are folks who've been grinding and working and my suspicion is they probably were going to get to this point anyway but it does I think signal where groups or organizations and candidates

08:24 on the Democratic side are going to focus a lot of their effort going forward. You've got to dominate this space, that's where conversation is, that's where a lot of people get their news is on YouTube online you have to be present there and you have to have messengers that are fearless and know how to talk comfortably in messy conversations that are often complicated People often say Democrats don't know how to hit These guys are hitters. They're hitters? Yeah, Democrats have the confidence to go anywhere and make a case We've got a fragmented media ecosystem So it's good to see a little more political diversity in that Democrats are gonna have to play offense and stop just preaching to their choir Right The essence of evangelism is winning conference so you gotta get out there with the confidence to make a case And not simply play to your base Alright, let's talk about the Midas touch for a moment

Midas Touch Download Metrics, PodScribe, and PAC Origins

An investigation into Midas Touch's reported 57 million monthly downloads reveals a high-frequency publishing strategy of 13 to 20 short episodes per day. The entity's origins as a 2020 anti-Trump Super PAC and its ties to wealthy political circles are highlighted as factors in its rapid growth.

midas touch· podscribe· download numbers· super pac· bot traffic· jim acosta

09:14 Yes, a podcast I've never heard of until this very minute. I had not heard of it either until Newsweek brought us the headline which everyone is repeating might as touch dethrones Joe Rogan. How can you dethrone anything? It just showed up! You don't dethrone an instant bestseller. Yeah exactly that would have been even better So I did a deep dive. Now, these numbers come from PodScribe and PodScribe they use a tracking pixel on downloads which is one of the more valid ways of getting download numbers and so the most recent PodScribe chart now that's just pod scribe which means you know everybody has to

10:04 has to participate, which they don't. We don't participate in any of that nonsense we have no tracking pixels. No reason? There's absolutely no reason to have that. Bragging rights! Exactly I think their measurement is correct they say 57 million downloads for the Midas Touch podcast versus Joe Rogan's 50...57 vs 50 million monthly downloads And let's just listen to a minute of the most recent episode of The Midas Touch. Just three bros, that's all they are and... Are you okay? I swallowed some tea. Oh well it was going in the right direction

10:49 down the throat. Here is the most recent episode of The Midas Touch, it's a dude sitting in a chair with a big mic in his face Look at these headlines from the United Kingdom this morning The Daily Express says shameful Trump attack stuns the world From the daily star Putin's Putin while there were devastating storms in Kentucky, Virginia, West Virginia. Donald Trump was circling around the Daytona 500 in his motorcade but then playing golf and then golfed over the weekend. He's golf every day since then on our taxpayer dime

11:49 And in between then, he's been attacking Zelensky. Yesterday he called Zelensky a dictator. He threatened Zelensky. He threatened our allies in NATO. We'll get to that in just a bit and while all of that is going on you have Elon Musk using his rage algorithm, his disinformation propaganda network known as X used to be Twitter making posts like this and making a mockery of the fact that he, and Doge, and Donald Trump are cutting essential services and destroying lives. So riveting content, riveting... And I can tell you how they got this number. Yeah, this numbers jacked up as bull crap! Well, uh, y'know You can jack-up numbers if you know what your doing Hold on hold on hold on I did the deep dive I'm notebook LM

12:42 These guys release 13 episodes a day. Between 13 and 20 episodes a day, and they're all short They're about 10 to 15 minutes Sometimes they include... And it's just as far as I could tell it's only one guy I don't know-I could not find one with the three brothers talking They have a network which is all counted with the same pixel as far as I can tell Who also released an extraordinary amount of episodes per day I think they have 10 podcasts. Some of them, they host themselves and some other people. So yeah if you get a hundred thousand per downloads per episode which is... we get more than that

13:27 And you do 15 of them a day, yeah. You can get to 50... You know? You can get to 57 million if maybe if you buy a little bit of bot traffic that'll help but these guys and I think that they have the money for bot traffic because these guys are not just some bros from Brooklyn These guys had a political action committee in 2020 which whose sole purpose was to stop the re-election of Donald Trump The Super PAC, aligned with the Democrat Party. So they had a PAC then the Super PAC it was the Democracy Defense in Action in 2023 These guys are no slouches

14:11 One's a lawyer, one is the... I think he's a partner with Colin Kaepernick. These guys have been around they are literally in millionaire and billionaire circles. Yeah? So they have plenty of money to buy some bot traffic and they just sit there and say Trump sucks 15 times a day it's like it's not even comparable But no, it's not you anyone can just say Trump sucks. Yeah, well we can do it yeah We get sex Trump sucks you could get 57 million downloads a day So this is it's just amazing that You you predicted this you said that they would go finding this and there it is and It's pathetic

14:59 I mean, it's really...it's no good. I tried! I'm like they had a great interview today with Jim Acosta That gotta be that's got to be stirring yeah so No, I don't put much into this Well the thing is they were supposed to do a Rogan Like show Rogan that was gonna be Rogan in terms of like the way the show is structured three hours of a long conversation with someone worthy where they persons drawn out and they discuss things in great detail you get to understand and know them yeah, nor in that sort of it in that sort of format which is not easy to do only a few people can do it yeah, and That's what there were supposed to find somebody could do that. They can't mmm

Pope Francis Health Update, Robert Sarah, and Papal Predictions

Pope Francis is recovering from pneumonia and asthmatic bronchitis at a hospital in the Vatican. Speculation regarding a potential successor focuses on Cardinal Robert Sarah of Guinea, reflecting a potential shift toward an African papacy.

pope francis· vatican· giorgio meloni· robert sarah· guinea· africa

15:52 I mean anyone can do a five ten minute podcast. Yeah, they'll be coming out of pot Angeles Pot Angela studios. Oh the pod Angeles Studios yes indeed indeed Well, and we may have to make a new prediction about something else very soon Pope Francis continues his recovery from pneumonia eating breakfast out of bed on Thursday morning after six peaceful night at the hospital The Vatican said the Holy See spokesman Matteo Bruni issued a new update after confirming late Wednesday that new blood tests showed a slight improvement in some of the inflammations. The pontiff was visited on Wednesday by Italian Prime Minister Giorgio Meloni, his first non-VIP visitor. How is she a non VIP visitor? What's this bocce gallupi guy doing there announcing for? Why does it have to be...

16:45 That's your own news for some reason. virus and fungi. He's taking several antibiotics, fungus! For what doctors diagnose as asthmatic bronchitis? I don't wish ill on anyone but you know at 88 this is not a good thing for the Pope and... No in fact it says pneumonia that kills most octogenarians. That's what kills most people. Damn, that's something that kills most people and of course I predicted he'd this guy would become the Pope and I based that on

17:34 geopolitical insights as we always do. It's the same as us predicting the Super Bowl Exactly and you will predict a next Pope too Yes, I'm absolutely convinced of it And that should beat this is not a prediction but i have my eye on Robert Serra Of Guinea of where? Guinea Guinea Guinea yes Guinea Guinea yeah, I think we need a black pope Oh, that's an interesting idea. We need to... The black pope? The black pope yes I'm thinking that..I'm not sure this is not my final prediction but i am liking this guy as a candidate You're leaning Because he's very conservative and I think Guinea it just interesting I think Guinea may be the place to be

18:28 The place to be. Well, I mean we need a Pope from Africa We had a pope from South America Now a pope from Africa That would... that seems on brand for the Vatican How about a Russian Pope? Yeah good luck with that! That's not gonna happen There is now there is a Filipino possibility But that would clash... I mean that will really clashing with China And then we have another guy from Ghana. Well, that might be not a bad idea to clash with China. Yeah it's possible we have a guy from Ghana so I'm still working on it but and I don't want to make any predictions until its time for new pope that just would not be appropriate. No, I'm not going do that but I am thinking about it. Alright let's talk about some things that are really going on. Our show is done! We just nailed it with everything what more do we need to do?

CHAPTER 06 / 54 Discussion

DOJ Leniency Allegations, NPR Report, and Andy Ogles

NPR reports on perceived leniency within the Justice Department toward allies of Donald Trump, citing dropped cases against Jeff Fortenberry and Andy Ogles. The report is criticized for failing to mention that Fortenberry's conviction was overturned on appeal before the DOJ dismissed the charges.

department of justice· npr· donald trump· jeff fortenberry· andy ogles· clemency

19:30 I think we should talk about the DOJ... let's try these clips, DOJ foil. I think supposed to be. Okay, I have four three two NPR love it We are now about one month into President Trump's term and Justice Department veterans are starting to notice a pattern They say the DOJ seems to be more lenient with people who appear loyal to the president And their justice correspondent Gary Johnson has been reporting on some of those cases hi there Hey there Hi there Hey there Hi there Hey there. Hi there. So we're talking obviously about politically sensitive cases, what exactly are you hearing from people both in and outside the Justice Department?

20:14 Steven Salzberg spent years at Justice under Presidents Reagan and George H.W. Bush He says alarm is actually an understatement about what's happening there Prosecutors seem to be backing away from cases against people with ties to Donald Trump There are patterns that we haven't really seen in the past None of the patterns inspire a lot of confidence that the department is being even handed in its approach to cases. Salzburg says this actually started on inauguration day with Trump's clemency for more than 1500 people who took part in the Capitol riot, he says it looks like Trump wanted to cut those people a break because they were acting on his behalf just as a wait wait before you go I said they just want to mention

20:59 What she just said about the clemency and the parts has nothing, absolutely nothing to do with the Justice Department. No that was Trump's pardon! Yeah okay now you were saying? Well I was going to say that the Department of Justice falls under the executive branch correct? Yep And who is in charge of the executive branch? Let me think let me look at my sheets Oh Trump yeah yeah the president Okay, all right. Well now it gets now the propaganda from these jokers gets worse I will inject a reminder here that Trump of course was himself investigated by the Justice Department Was charged twice by the Justice Department prosecutors dropped those charges against him after he won the election in November Is that experience echoing through the Justice Department? No It absolutely is after Trump returned to the White House prosecutors abandoned their obstruction case

21:56 against two of his aides at the Mar-a-Lago resort. While Nauta and Carlos de Oliveira allegedly helped Trump hide classified documents from the FBI, and Trump's spoken a lot lately about how the Justice Department went after him he says that gave him an appreciation for the plight of other politicians accused of wrongdoing That really showed in recent weeks DOJ dropped a case against former Nebraska Congressman Jeff Fortenberry Okay I stop it there They dropped the case. The case was overturned! It was still pending but it was overturned on appeal, it was overturned and so they've dropped a case that was overturned. Did they mention that? No This is NPR our national treasure Are you telling me that they are propagandizing and lying or just maybe spreading misinformation Well maybe there's another instance of this

22:50 Prosecutors in Nashville withdrew from an investigation against Republican Congressman Andy Ogle. Ogle, of course had introduced a bill that would clear the way for Trump to serve a third term in office. Okay, Ogle... What was the case against Ogle? I have no idea but they dropped the case! He failed to file his election some election paperwork two weeks late which was illegal. So it was a process, or a process of persecution I guess is the word I should use

CHAPTER 07 / 54 Discussion

Eric Adams Corruption Case, Dale Ho, and DOJ Resignations

The Department of Justice moved to dismiss corruption charges against New York Mayor Eric Adams, leading to the resignation of seven federal prosecutors. Judge Dale Ho ordered both parties to explain the dismissal, while critics allege the move was a political trade for Adams' cooperation on immigration enforcement.

eric adams· department of justice· dale ho· new york city· immigration· quid pro quo

23:26 It was bull crap. It was one of those minor things, it's paperwork and so they dropped the case against him oh my god what are we gonna do? And then they throw in a little not basically non sequitur he introduced and everybody does this for both sides of the aisle. Oh yeah all the time. Let them in for another season or whatever. So they threw that into to compound the bullcrap This is basically a report of lies. NPR... has turned into just a propagandistic tool for the Democrat Party. What do you mean, turned into? Okay... gambling! And then on Friday the DOJ moved to dismiss the case against New York Mayor Eric Adams. Let's stay with the mayor Adams case for a second because it is a big one and I know that fallout isn't. Hey by the way is she a disciple of the other guy who was talking about this? You know I knew you'd spot that. Yeah she talks like the same way as the other guy does.

24:25 Yes, you know how it's spotted. You have anything to say about it or is this just what it is? Yeah, that's just what it is Stay with the Mayor Adams case for a sec because that's a big one and I know the fallout is continuing What is the latest seven prosecutors quit rather than moved to drop that case They said it looked like an unlawful quid pro quo Adams And his lawyer have flatly denied that but the judge in the case Dale Ho has ordered both sides to court Wednesday in New York To explain why the prosecution's being dismissed And meanwhile, more than 900 former Justice Department prosecutors signed a letter to salute the people still at justice for responding to ethical challenges with courage and conviction. One of the people who signed is Peter Zydenberg He says senior lawyers at Justice did not seem to hide they were acting for political reasons To secure Eric Adams' cooperation with immigration agents

25:16 The politicization of the Department of Justice seems like it's complete. But the chief of staff to the current Attorney General says this DOJ wants to focus on its core function, of prosecuting dangerous criminals not pursuing politically motivated witch hunts. Hmmmm... That sounds wrong to me! Sure hmmm you know If you and I were running NPR, we would not allow her to continue on the air. She sounds so hoity-toity... she may be a very fine person on both sides but when she goes... Doesn't that miss the mark on your audience?

CHAPTER 08 / 54 Discussion

Pam Bondi, Weaponization, and the Sassoon Family

Attorney General Pam Bondi's focus on DOJ "weaponization" is analyzed alongside claims from legal experts about targeting political enemies. A brief biographical note mentions a former acting attorney general's connection to the Sassoon family and their historical involvement in the 19th-century opium trade.

pam bondi· jack goldsmith· emile bouvier· sassoon family· opium trade

26:00 I think so. Yeah, I really think so. They have a lot of people like that they also have the couple of screechers and some people that can barely enunciate it's pathetic. Yes. Hey hi hello how are you doing? And they get government money and i didn't cut this... Not much not much let's stop with that More than we get! Well that's true if we were trans we'd be rolling in dough We miss an obvious opportunity. True that, boy! That reminds me of something that current Attorney General Pam Bondi said which is she wants to go after weaponization. She does. Bondi seems to be focused on people who help bring cases against Donald Trump

26:46 Harvard Law Professor Jack Goldsmith wrote this week, This all seems to be doublespeak part of a playbook to weaponize DOJ law enforcement like never before against Trump's perceived enemies. And the fear of many in my sources is that the DOJ will on one hand move to help Trump's friends get out of trouble and on the other use its vast powers of investigation and prosecution against people who have criticized the president." And pure Kerry Johnson there. Thanks, Kerry. Thanks for having me. Does this help his friends get out of trouble? That includes Eric Adams the Democrat who never liked Trump and he's one of his friends is that the deal? Well... And these other two doofuses that just had some paperwork issues but that's it with us the best examples is the only examples they could come up with was some guy's case which has already overturned and another guy who failed to file

27:40 some election paperwork within the two week time limit. You're very mad at people who have no audience. NPR, NPR... They have an audience! People listen on the radio Here's an update on the Eric Adams case Embattled Mayor Eric Adams greeted like a villain when he arrived at federal court Villain! A villain! How is that greeting him like a villain? It's like greeting him like the opposing team Boo Walking out like a victorious hero. After Judge Dale Ho gave no indication he would deny DOJ's request to dismiss the corruption case against him, while calling it a very unusual situation, the judge conceding the court does have a limited role to play when asked by the judge if the mayor understood that charges could be reinstated Adams telling the court I have not committed a crime i don't see them bringing it back i'm not afraid of that acting

28:34 Acting Deputy Attorney General Emile Bouvier adding, I don't have any plans to bring back the case in the future. The acting US attorney and six other federal prosecutors resigned last week in protest claiming that Mayor cut a deal with the Trump administration to enforce immigration policies Monday for deputy mayor stepped down prompting Governor Hockel to hold meetings this week with key leaders on if she should remove the mayor from office. But Boe Vee says this is DOJ's straight prosecutorial discretion, there is no quid pro quo and even if it was there wouldn't be any issue with that. Boe Vee meanwhile was forced to put on the record that the reason for dismissing the case was because it interfered with the Mayor's ability to enforce the President's immigration agenda. So Eric Adams good to go!

29:16 I guess because this whole kicks him out which is a possibility have been discussing and are discussing One of our producers sent me a note about so soon the acting attorney general she looks 20 by the way She's pretty young very young youthful. Yeah The one who quit after three weeks on the job out of three. Which they keep failing to mention in all the reporting? Yes, and who is a member of the Sassoon family which I learned is one of the big banker families particularly notorious allegedly for making their fortune off of opium addicts in China in the 1900's How about that? Isn't that interesting So who's the billionaire now huh

CHAPTER 09 / 54 Discussion

DOGE Transparency, Body Cams, and Social Security Audits

A proposal for the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to use body cameras for transparency is discussed. The segment also addresses White House claims regarding Social Security fraud and disputes over aid shipments to Gaza versus Mozambique.

doge· elon musk· transparency· body cams· social security· gaza

30:02 Alright since you you threw those clips on me and made me sit through it. I'm going to bring you into the make-it do anything I'm going to bring you into the realm of pooper I mean if they really wanted to be transparent which they say they are being transparent But if they really wanted to I mean, they could have cameras with the Doge team Here's Body cams. This is, yeah body cams on the Doge team! That's exactly what he's talking about as they're you know running the wood chipper and dismantling you know putting agencies through... Wood chipper? He's putting everything into a wood chipper but give him body cams through The Wood Chipper I mean we've seen the president had cameras in the Oval Office should be live streaming on TikTok. As he signing executive order after executive order there are other things they could do to be more transparent aren't there

30:52 Certainly. And the question really has been, what is accurate about- I love how she just goes, certainly! But hold on a second... He's signing these executive orders in front of the press? Yeah How much more transparent and then he talked they talk about it and then they'll take questions on every one of them well how more transparent is he supposed to be naked maybe sitting there It's not about the president it's about the co-president we want a body cam on Elon you know because she should do that by the way that'd be pretty funny You'd get a lot of hits if you run the live stream. I think it's a great idea! I think you should take this to heart and make the Doge team wear body cams. Especially with all these various women. Certainly, and the question really has been what is accurate about what they are finding and what they're uncovering because we're seeing allegations from White House officials that tens of millions of people are receiving Social Security that are either dead or should not be receiving it obviously that would

31:47 third of people who get Social Security. When you actually look at audits that have been done, including one that was done I believe two years ago in 2023 this is something the government has been reviewing in the past it's not a new found idea but then sometimes there are claims that you've seen the administration make including when Elon Musk was confronted about one them about condoms going to Gaza in the Oval Office who said it was no true and he would correct things if they were wrong but often time it takes some work going on behind the scenes them about that. Wait, hold on! Stop! She goes on and talks about it wasn't true but they don't talk about what did happen which was the same condoms with the same amount of condoms went to Mozambique yes which he called him out on when they were said hey it never went to Gaza they went to Mozambique and he said yeah so that's good that's better what are you talking about? Hey man... So she just blows by that information

32:40 It's AC 360 man, I mean it's even lower than NPR. They're running us out of town! We won't have media to deconstruct if they keep this up. Well now we got the Midas touch. But often time it takes some work going on behind the scenes to ask them about that before they get there and so I think that has been a big part of the question here in terms of accountability and transparency, and what's actually accurate. And what is fraud? What is simply something this administration disagrees with?" Before I continue with this series, breaking news. Kash Patel has been confirmed. Good! Yes? That should be good for a laugh Yeah and now you're right every single one of his nominees went through Except for Matt Gaetz Well yeah he bailed early Now Anderson Brinkman...I mean this is how low CNN has come

CHAPTER 10 / 54 Discussion

Kash Patel Confirmation, Anderson Cooper, and DOGE Tactics

Kash Patel has been confirmed for his role, while CNN coverage compares DOGE's tactics to "shock and awe" operations. Critics argue Elon Musk's approach to government reform is designed to create chaos and discomfort rather than sustainable legislative change.

kash patel· doge· cnn· anderson cooper· elon musk· shock and awe

33:39 They're like, who can we bring in to talk about Doge? Come on John you know who. Uh... Hotep! You know, there were camera crews with the Marines and military on D-Day as they landed at the beach to show the American people. Oh did the Marines have body cams? Hey a D-Day they had camera crews so I mean we should have them at Doge Day! What kind of comparison is this?! This is off the wall... This is insane As they landed in the beach to show the American people what was happening

34:14 I don't understand why not be transparent. I think anybody from any political background... I've never heard this in the news media that they want body cams on, let's put body cams on Attorneys General! Let's put a bodycam on Anderson Cooper! How about this for an idea and i've written about this in my sub stack column dvorak.substack.com Let's put cams in the classroom. Now you're talking! Yeah, body cams on the teachers. Do that first! Would be happy with cutting waste and cutting inefficiencies and any kind of abuse and any kind of bloat in all that stuff why not? Be super transparent about it this group was fired because X Y & Z I mean we don't even know the decision-making process you know when you hear reports from people who've been fired they're like i had to go to present in front of some 20 something year old

35:11 who knows nothing about my agency, I had to justify my job in a minute or two. Here she comes. Right, that's what they want to do. They want to create chaos and confusion there. It's your protege because these decisions aren't very well made because they're not interested in reforming their interest in reforming they would pass congressional laws right? That's the way you do it but they're interested right now is shock and awe and we're coming in were just going to cut this a very common thing that Elon does at all his companies he comes in and upends Someone at one of his companies says he comes in, he upends a trash can and then runs out. And everyone's summarily scared and then they get back to work. In this case that is what he is doing. He is creating a situation of discomfort among these people to do that but they don't want you see it because either there is nothing to see or their are doing things perhaps not the most legal ways probably both those are true.

CHAPTER 11 / 54 Discussion

Kara Swisher, CNN, and AI Data Integration

Kara Swisher appears on CNN to discuss Elon Musk's influence on the Trump administration. She posits that the true goal of DOGE is to gain control of government data to integrate it with Musk's artificial intelligence ventures.

kara swisher· cnn· elon musk· data· artificial intelligence· xai

36:07 You know, I think actually played one out of order. This was this is where introduction much more now on Elon Musk and ocean who's running it among many other things joining us as Kara Swisher Who knows Elon Musk? Well and was often written about him she's an incurred his ire Of course She's host a podcast the podcast on with Kara Swisher co-host of pivot And we'll are happy to say CNN contributor so care who runs doge but we need to get a big When did she become a CNN contributor? Well, she's on that show. She was on the show with Chris, the guy who left who became a podcaster Cuomo no No The Fox guy Chris Hayes know The Fox guy What's his name Fox guy yeah the guy who left Fox for CNN then left CNN to become a Podcaster instead of the humiliation of being fired Chris Wallace

36:54 Oh, Chris Wallace. Yes, Chris Wallace and then she was on his panel show. This is not a Kumbaya group of people making decisions this is Elon Musk making decisions or presenting things to the president and the president just shakes his head I doubt he very much knows a lot of specifics about what they're doing but Diving into agencies like this, like they're a marine force attacking the beach. That's what they're doing. They are creating fear and creating a narrative about their coming to get you. What I think they are trying to do is get control of this data for purposes of uniting in some way. So the narrative they have created

37:35 that these media people have created is that they're storming the beaches. What I think they're trying to do is get control of this data for purposes of uniting it in some way, using AI probably Elon's AI company um...to do so So I'm always paying attention to what they are after which is data and thats to me- What is she even talking about? They are trying to get a hold of the data They gonna try to unite it What does she mean by They're trying to unite it. They're trying to use Elon's AI company to do it. Unite it? What is she talking about?! Yes, the beaches are back open! Woohoo!

CHAPTER 12 / 54 Discussion

Trump Derangement Syndrome, Social Security, and Political Polarization

Anecdotes describe increasing social friction and "divorces" between friends over political affiliations. The term "Christian nationalism" is dismissed as a manufactured label, while concerns about Trump cutting Social Security are contrasted with personal accounts of receiving benefits.

trump derangement syndrome· social security· christian nationalism· polarization· yoga

38:11 I have no idea. Much more now on- Oops, hold on let's move onto the next piece. You know what? Let's play just a bite of one other clip from this interview. I used to be adored by the left you know not anymore. This is the end everyone and oh they're playing this over and again I can't believe we had Elon and his co president they did an interview on Fox of course, on Fox of course. It was called like Trump derangement syndrome, and I don't you know You don't realize how real this is until like it's you can't reason with people so like I was at a friend's birthday party in LA just birthday dinner after dimension the president's name And it was like they got shot with a dart in the jugular that contained like methamphetamine and rabies Okay

39:05 I'm like, what is wrong? Guys you can't have normal conversation. And it's become completely irrational. Now i'm going to confirm this...I have received several emails in the past few days between shows of people saying my liberal friends basically divorced me. Like they won't talk. One of our friends is a yoga instructor I don't get it because i thought this was over. No, its accelerated! I've reacquainted myself with the Lib Joes Well just you wait... No, I think we're just ahead of the curve here in California. Okay One of our friends is a yoga instructor in Illinois and

39:54 And one of her long-term clients all of a sudden went, you're to blame for this. You voted for him! You Christian nationalist! I mean she was shocked. She was shocked. Christian nationalists? I know it's just parrot everything. What does that even mean? Well that's exactly...she called us and Tina says Adam could you tell her what Christian nationalism is? It's a bullcrap term that was made up Yes, I conspiracy theorist. I think the CIA dreamed it up Yeah But the whole idea is if you do not agree with them they call you unintelligent stupid Expected better from you sexist racist Nazi and then I can't talk with you anymore. I'm sorry I can't talk with any more Can't talk with you anymore and Trump is coming for your Social Security By the way, I will say Tina received her first Social Security check this month. This is Tina 62

40:51 She took early retirement. She didn't wait till she was 65? No, no...she's an early retirement. Oh she went and did the early...okay. Yeah yeah Well after the COVID shots I think yeah you want to take the earlier because your not going to make it that long. She didn't take a COVID shot! What are you talking about?! What is wrong with you!? I'm talking for in general. Oh, in general? Yes okay It's interesting to watch the dynamic between them and also how a lot of people in the company of Elon Musk like have this fake laugh Like what he is saying is super super funny Yeah every joke at Wealth Everything is Have you noticed this? The fake... we have to be on the lookout Who does the fake laugh I'm sorry, whatever she was saying. I didn't understand what she's talking about. No no, what Anderson Cooper says listen again It's interesting to watch the dynamic between them and also how a lot of people in the company of Elon Musk like have this fake laugh Like what he is saying is like super super funny Yeah, every joke at Wealth Everything is super funny when you're the world's richest man In case your interested if ever get that status

41:49 I think they're just trying to show, this is a show. What? Anderson it said the word show if you notice the president said that sure this is the buddy comedy and I think that's what they're going for and of all people Donald Trump understands the power of narrative and there's a narrative happening here but just don't bother us with the details This is not...this is a way to do shock-and-awe rather than actually do the hard task of reforming the government which everybody is behind but why do at way because it's interesting, because it's a show. Because it's entertaining. Because there is he a villain? Is the Iron Man or is he Thanos like that kind of thing and I think they don't mind if you think either thing of them they just want you to keep watching. Well I'm not even gonna play my last clip but she says it's too stupid to listen to

CHAPTER 13 / 54 Discussion

Kevin O'Leary, COBOL, and FAA Technology

Kevin O'Leary discusses applying private equity "slashing" tactics to government agencies. He specifically targets the FAA, claiming the agency relies on outdated COBOL code from the 1960s that requires significant capital expenditure for modernization.

kevin o'leary· faa· cobol· private equity· technology upgrade

42:34 What is he talking about the laughing? Apparently people around Musk have a fake laugh. I guess, i don't know! I haven't seen any evidence of this No that's why we need to pay attention to it Also on CNN...I know you saw this Don't blow the punchline This is an excellent example of the Mangelman amnesia effect And what that means is if you hear someone reads, originally if you read something in a newspaper that you really are an expert on the topic. Everybody's an expert on something and you read something factually incorrect You have to assume that everything else in that newspaper is probably factually incorrect

43:20 And in this case, they bring on Mr. Wonderful! Mr. Wonderful Kevin O'Leary He's also a shark in the shark tank and knows nothing They're not whacking enough There is this concept of private equity when you get a bankrupt company and you go in there You cut 20% more than your initial read And then you find like a pool of mercury, the organization gels back together again. Always cut deeper harder when there's fat and waste The FAA is not the people! The code is cobalt It's from the 60s! It's cobalt I tell you it's from the sixties its cobalt and then he goes on to say... It needs CapEx put into it for the technology we upgraded to make it safer

44:10 Facts like a chicken. Safer? Cobalt, I don't think it's unsafe It may be... No it is actually quite secure Yeah maybe arcane It just hard to hack Yeah you may have to use all uppercase but its not insecure Cobalt What a tool! Yeah I saw that too obviously Um... In fact they retweeted it Yeah I saw Staying with the doge, and I said right away that I found this very suspicious. And I wanted people who live in the DMV area DC Virginia Maryland to let me know if they saw that there was indeed a surge of people putting their houses up for sale because of the doge cuts

CHAPTER 14 / 54 Discussion

DMV Real Estate Rumors, Inflation, and Housing Prices

Reports of a mass sell-off of homes in the DC-Maryland-Virginia area due to DOGE cuts are debunked by the National Association of Realtors. Analysis suggests housing prices may eventually decrease due to changes in migrant housing policies and energy costs.

dmv· real estate· housing inventory· inflation· cpi· northern virginia

45:06 And turns out, no. The chief economist for the National Association of Realtors says this viral pic is bogus. Right now we're not seeing any major increase in inventory or any plunging in home prices Ashley Waymeier is a real estate agent in Northern Virginia and she says this bogus post has real estate agents across the area scrambling

45:45 to try to set the story straight. Some realtors have been posting because they've been getting calls from clients saying, what's going on? Is this true should I put my house on the market right now bottom line there is no sell off and housing inventory is actually still low in the DMV and the numbers prove it here's a breakdown of the housing inventory in northern Virginia for the first two weeks of this month compared to the same time last year This time period covers the fork in the road emails sent to federal workers And what we see here as well Not much other than in Loudoun County. Across the entire DC metro region, there were just nine more homes on the market compared to last year. That is not significant and like I said in Loudoun you are seeing that but you do have new construction but also people who have been ordered to return to work so they're looking maybe we should come back in an be a little bit closer now

46:37 Yeah, and that's confirmed by Tom Starkweather. End of show mixer, meetup organizer and producer of the show he says it's crazy traffic going into DC now is at a crawl in the morning because everybody has to go back to work so it's factually just untrue but you know oh no she's kicking butt here look at her wow these crazy all losing their houses yeah No I'm sure there will be an uptick eventually. By the way... Yeah, well there is an uptick of nine houses. Nine houses! I think when it comes to inflation which is you know of course President Trump he said right away prices are going to do in and put my hand on the Bible which he didn't do then prices everything's gonna come down life's gonna get cheaper I think it will in housing if they count that in the CPI did they count housing and CPI? They take that out right

47:33 I think as you know they keep changing the rules for it. Makes it more fun. It's like, oh that doesn't look good let's take that out. Yeah. I'm pretty sure that you'll see housing prices go down because the migrant issue is ending hotel prices may come down they have to come down And there's just going to be more housing available. I'm sure they won't count, I think housing and energy... Well that's core we don't want to report on that and we need to report on the hamburger helper. That's really exciting eggs is really expensive. There was another bogus video that i want to bring everyone's attention this was posted on social media as

CHAPTER 15 / 54 Discussion

JD Vance, Munich Security Conference, and Lindsey Graham

A viral video of the Munich Security Conference chairman crying is identified as an edited clip unrelated to JD Vance's speech. Senator Lindsey Graham's shifting stance on Ukraine and Russia since 2014 is criticized as inconsistent.

jd vance· munich security conference· volodymyr zelensky· lindsey graham· ukraine

48:23 JD Vance made the chairman of the Munich Security Conference cry. After the speech of Vice President Vance on Friday, we have to fear that our common value base is not that common anymore I'm very grateful to all those European politicians that spoke out and reaffirmed the values and principles that they are defending. No one did this better than President Zelensky. Let me conclude, and this becomes difficult. He was leaving his post after being there for I don't know how many years and they edited the end into that piece and posted it, and people went, oh look at this show good mega. Mega's making him cry

49:14 It's not true. It's not true. Media lies, gambling, gambling... Yeah and while we're on it let's play this little bit from Lindy Hop Lady G Graham who of course is you know whoa I'm all for the president yeah he can have a meeting without Zelensky could do whatever he wants because I love President Trump! I'm all in, I'm Lindy Hep G There will be no deal without Ukraine being consulted and on board, because it won't work. I talked to Zelensky today Nobody is going to do anything that you're not involved with but talking to the Russians separately? I'm actually okay with that

49:56 Then go back to Ukraine and see what they think, and keep working. Keep working at the end you got to get both parties into the room but those who are criticizing Trump where were you in 2014? To my democratic friends who are up in arms You had a chance to deter Russian invasion. You failed miserably. I think there's one person that Putin really is afraid of That's Trump If you ever get a good deal on Ukraine, it'll be because Trump created a sense of dread by Russia. You know Senator Graham

50:33 That's quite rich of you to be saying, to my democratic friends where were you in 2014? Where were you Lindsey Graham in 2014? Your fight is our fight. 2017 will be the year of offense All of us will go back to Washington and we will push the case against Russia. You remember this little bit of video? Enough of a Russian aggression! It is time for them to pay a heavier price. And it just goes on, you are two-faced

CHAPTER 16 / 54 Discussion

Keith Kellogg in Kyiv, Saudi Talks, and US-Russia Relations

Special envoy Keith Kellogg visited Kyiv to meet with Ukrainian officials following US-Russia talks in Saudi Arabia. President Zelensky expressed concern over being excluded from peace negotiations, while President Putin stated that both nations must participate in the process.

keith kellogg· kyiv· volodymyr zelensky· vladimir putin· saudi arabia· nato

51:17 What a he was gambling going on now, he's horrible. He's really horrible Listen I got some Ukraine clips let's go with this Let's go with the Ukraine peace rap one these special envoy to Ukraine and Russia is in Kiev today That says President Trump and Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky exchanged strong accusations entities international correspondent Aryan pasta has the Ukraine up star huh Pazdar's the guy, here is our guy. What is he? Our guy? He's the guy with a voice. Oh! The international correspondent Arion Pazdar has Ukraine update. The new Jeff Begays Special envoy to Ukraine and Russia Keith Kellogg is in Kiev this week. He already met with some high-ranking officials on Wednesday and scheduled to sit down with Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky as well General Kellog

52:10 General Kellogg is already in Kiev. He has met with Commander-in-Chief Sierski, our intelligence and special service heads and the head of my office Our meeting with General Kellogg is scheduled for tomorrow. Kellogg's visit to Kiev comes after he was part of a US delegation that held talks with Russian counterparts in Saudi Arabia Zelensky has repeatedly said the US and Russia can't agree on a peace deal without Ukraine being involved in the talks. Russian President Vladimir Putin said this on Wednesday. President Trump told me during our phone call that the U.S assumed that both Russia and Ukraine will take part in the negotiating process nobody is excluding Ukraine from this process. They took like 48 hours

52:53 Everyone moaning and groaning about us, America—forget who it is. It doesn't even matter who it is—talking to Russia separately outside of Ukraine, just our own little deals. You know what can we do here? And then everyone's all up in arms and Zelensky starts saying that Trump is falling for Russian disinformation Like what kind of an idiot is this guy? He's worried sick! So he cut out Well by... Cut out of the pay-off By the way I hear that The US has halted all weapons sales to Ukraine

CHAPTER 17 / 54 Discussion

Trump-Zelensky Conflict, Missing Funds, and Rare Earth Minerals

Donald Trump criticized President Zelensky on social media, labeling him a "dictator" and questioning the location of missing US aid funds. Tensions escalated over Zelensky's 4% approval rating claims and a failed meeting between Scott Bessent and Ukrainian leadership regarding mineral rights.

donald trump· volodymyr zelensky· disinformation· rare earth minerals· scott bessent

53:37 It's just coming from inside Ukraine. I mean that the ammo is a big problem Yeah, well it's what's gonna happen yes We just can't keep you know we're not gonna Just weaken ourselves to an extreme by just propping up Ukraine and when it seems to be like just part of a corrupt money laundering operation from the looks of it That's not true man because all that money went to US contractors Yeah, sure it did. So here we go with part two President Trump took to social media on Wednesday addressing Ukrainian president Vladimir Zelensky Trump wrote that a modestly successful comedian Vladimir Zelensky talked the United States of America into spending 350 billion dollars

54:22 On top of this, Zelensky admits that half of the money we sent him is missing. Trump also called Zelensky a dictator without elections. Zelensky better move fast or he's not going to have a country left! Man, he's channeling Schwarzenegger here He better move fast, otherwise he won't have listened to this. Zelensky better move fast or he's not going to have a country left! Fast? That's how Schwarzenegger would say it... I never thought of him sounding like Schwarzenegger. Now as you mentioned that i'm gonna be hearing that forever Yeah, you're welcome Because of the ongoing fighting in Ukraine the country skipped its presidential elections after Zelensky's term expired On Tuesday night a reporter asked Trump if Ukraine should hold presidential elections

55:06 Where the leader in Ukraine, I mean hate to say it but he's down at 4% approval rating. Wouldn't the people of Ukraine have to say like you know it's been a long time since we've had an election? On Wednesday Zelensky responded to Trumps comments Since were talking about four percent We have seen this disinformation. We understand that this is coming from Russia These numbers are being discussed between America and Russia Zelensky added that Trump is living quote in a Russian disinformation space but Trump says that the need for elections in Ukraine is not coming from Russia but rather from the people of Ukraine and other allied countries. That's really interesting how that was the next talking point Oh Bill is 50% according to some agency in Ukraine whatever

56:04 Did you hear Trump on Air Force One talking about, because he sent over Besant. He sent Besson over to collect the minerals with a big bag so our Treasury Secretary went with a big satchel like I'm here to collect the minerals let me see if you can hear this it was on Air Force One so the audio is not great Can you hear this okay? Yeah, not really it's easier for you to summarize So they sent Scott Besson to do the deal for the rare-earth minerals and they said now Zelensky can't meet with you he's sleeping

CHAPTER 18 / 54 Discussion

EU Funding for Ukraine, Frozen Russian Assets, and Euro Stability

European leaders are considering seizing $300 billion in frozen Russian assets held in Euroclear to fund Ukraine's war effort. While Finland supports the move to pressure Russia, France and Germany express concern that such a precedent could destabilize the Euro and destroy confidence in the European banking system.

european union· ukraine· frozen assets· euroclear· russia· finland

57:00 And then, and I want to get to your anal clips in a moment. Now now I keep hearing out of Europe, Europe is putting together a package of 735 billion dollars or euros almost the same these days to help Ukraine, to get them to be in a position of strength. And I'm like where is this money coming from? Who has 735 billion euros in Europe to give to Ukraine and how will the The EU citizens feel about that and of course then we got France 24 explaining it to me.

57:47 ending the war without input from Brussels or Kiev. As Trump is clearly looking to end US financing for Ukraine's war effort, Kiev has been pushing the idea of using frozen Russian assets to replace that funding. Roughly $300 billion worth of securities and cash have been frozen in the European asset clearinghouse Euroclear following Russia's 2022 invasion most of those assets belonging to Russia's central bank. Some $50 billion in profits and interest from that capital have already been seized and funneled to Ukraine in the form of loans, the US and UK had previously suggested seizing the entire pile outright

58:29 That idea though faced resistance at the time from European economic powers, notably France and Germany who feared that it would set a dangerous precedent that could eventually destabilize the euro currency. In the current context though EU leaders appear increasingly open to the idea Here's Finland president this weekend The first phase is the pre-negotiation And this isn't moment when we need rearm Ukraine and put maximum pressure on Russia, which means sanctions. Which means frozen assets so that Ukraine begins these negotiations from a position of strength. Oh Finland you're getting roped into something you don't want to be in!

59:14 This crazy idea, it was already sketchy. I'll say sketchy of them to take the 50 billion of interest as a loan don't worry by the way i think we were in the middle of that deal and now they want to take the three hundred 350 billion? Steal it! That's a bad idea supply It's a bad idea. You lose all confidence in the entire European banking system. The whole system, yeah you can't do that! And so it collapsed I mean somebody has already done the numbers on this and the Russian economy is not doing that bad effect is doing quite well compared to the EU which is doing poorly

CHAPTER 19 / 54 Discussion

European Migration Crisis, NATO Normalization, and Sergei Lavrov

A listener reflects on the 2015 European migration crisis and current fears of a looming war. Meanwhile, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov suggests that relations with the US are moving toward normalization as Trump acknowledges NATO expansion as a primary cause of the Ukraine conflict.

migration· nato· sergei lavrov· russia· biden administration· trade

59:54 Ever since the EU really started, you know getting cranked up in the early 2000s their economy has grown at half the rate of ours. Yes! They're in really big trouble like the EU is just screwed and this is not gonna help By the way I got a note from Rich he lives in the EU when he says Your show saved me back in 2015 during the big the first big European migration crisis at the time The media was showing awful images of dead kids being washed up on beaches. Remember this? Oh, yeah Hey Can you move that dead kid over a little bit to the left so I can get a better shot exactly He says now you guys really saved me but

1:00:37 On the last show, I've been feeling very depressed. You were talking about Europe going to hell and John was just casually talking about the Hundred Years War being the norm! Looming war is a mainstream media talking point? I was hoping for something a bit more reassuring from Noah Tjenda! I'm sorry... Well, I don't think there'll be a hundred years of war but... No. But that is kind of the Europeans have been having these fights they can't seem to stop and they just keep wanting to go over the abyss! There's just nothing we can do about it. We've got to cut them loose and i'm sorry to our rich you'll be okay now you may just be aware

1:01:26 You'll be okay. Just look at the ground, it will all go away. Walk slow! Don't look anybody in the eye. It will all go away. We love you Rich. Let's go to an analysis… well before we go into the analysis let's play a little NPR or not an NPR yeah an NPR clip this is the I thought it might fit in there. This is the Russian normalized NATO clip. As President Trump thaws U.S. diplomatic relations with Russia, he is trading blows with Ukraine. Nearly three years after his country was invaded by Russian forces, President Volodymyr Zelensky criticized Trump for falsely blaming the hostilities on Ukraine.

1:02:05 covering the Kremlin. NPR's Charles Mains reports, the Russian government says Moscow and Washington are on their way toward normalizing relations. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov briefing Russian lawmakers on the Saudi talks praised President Trump as the first Western leader to publicly acknowledge the prospect of NATO expansion into Ukraine is a major cause for the war. Lavrov said there was now a shared desire not only to end that conflict but possibly work with the US to develop new trade and geopolitical partnerships To do that, Lavrov said both sides first had to quote clean up Biden administration efforts to undermine relations. The Biden White House sought to isolate Russia over its invasion of its neighbor in contrast President Trump has said he wants to work with Russia to end the war unnerving Ukraine and traditional US allies in Europe. Okay all right

CHAPTER 20 / 54 Discussion

Foreign Policy Transactionalism, China Strategy, and Taiwan

An analyst on NTD discusses the transactional nature of Trump's foreign policy and its implications for the Pacific. The segment explores how the outcome of the Russia-Ukraine war will influence China's decision-making regarding Taiwan and the Philippines.

foreign policy· china· taiwan· vladimir putin· xi jinping· ntd

1:02:55 So that's a little different than the Biden approach. Yes, yes I have some analysis too so let's get your anal clips. Okay these are the analysis clips. How does President Trump... Well i'm sorry as you keep referring to them as ANAL Because they are literally titled ANAL in all caps because analysis is too tedious for you to write Oh, it's so many letters. Colonel, thank you so much for joining us. Good to see you again now lots of headlines and raised eyebrows about President Trump's way of negotiating to end the Russia-Ukraine war given Trump's business background is his foreign policy transactional or is there a diplomatic element here? Well I think every foreign policy is transactional the American does some Americans do something because they want the other side to do something for them

1:04:02 Wow, this is deep. It's called a negotiation. Oh very interesting it doesn't matter which president is it is Diplomacy is comes in different forms Sometimes it's very placid takes place behind closed doors Other times that can be more out in the open and that's what we're seeing right now With mr.. Trump so as I said, it's always transactional We want something in this case The administration wants the war to end so it can focus on, or the Pacific focus on China. In terms of how it's conducted well that every administration every president has their style

1:04:40 And I think we're seeing Mr. Trump's style on display. What do you make of the backlash President Trump is facing for calling Zelensky a dictator without elections as negotiations for the end of the war continue? It was not unusual for two sides, even allies or partners to have some pretty sort of raucous disputes. It is a little unusual to have them take place in public usually these things are hashed out behind closed doors. So we are seeing something that we usually don't see, but it is as I say it's not the usual way that such talks take place but maybe we shouldn't be too surprised. Well of course! Not the usual way... This is Doge body cam baby! Is there any difference?

1:05:29 No, I don't think so. This guy's one of those precise talkers Yes, I had noticed that and the little Little yes all right yeah, this is not the best analysis clips i've had no There's a couple of just minor points it's worth at least people should listen to And zooming out a bit here, what would the end of the Russia-Ukraine war mean for a country like China? Well China is watching very closely and if they think that Putin has come out of the Ukraine war ahead then we can do the same. That it's been worthwhile for him to have done it uh that they I think will be encouraged to make a move

1:06:14 And in their territory against Taiwan, Philippines elsewhere. But they are watching very closely so that is something that you do have to watch. Can Putin argue at the end of this? Look I got what I wanted the cost was high maybe but it was worth it and you just might have Xi Jinping say well if Putin could do it and he only had half a million casualties well I can handle that and Taiwan is just so juicy that he might be tempted to make a move. So you do have to watch this very closely and it would be nice if this ended with Mr Putin sort of being as humiliated as we were when we ran out of Afghanistan, but I'm not so sure how you would actually pull that off. But this is certainly important and whatever happens in Ukraine there's going

CHAPTER 21 / 54 Discussion

Trump's China Team, Marco Rubio, and Mike Waltz

The new administration's strategy toward China is expected to be confrontational, led by figures like Marco Rubio and Mike Waltz. The discussion weighs the possibility of a "detente" versus an all-out effort to challenge the Chinese Communist Party.

china· marco rubio· mike waltz· pete hegseth· cccp· detente

1:07:07 a direct result one way or the other in the Pacific, in Asia. Wow! This guy is running through the talking points Yeah yeah I'm not gonna argue with you Let's let him wrap Now when it comes to President Trump's China strategy for this term view it compared to his first? Is this a continuation, an expansion or something entirely different. It will be different but I think it'll generally be the same they're similar put it that way. His first administration had one of the best lineup

1:07:43 for dealing with China that any administration has ever had, with fellows like Matt Pottinger, Miles Yu, Mike Pompeo and Dave Stilwell. That was a rare alignment this time around remains to be seen it's only been 30 days or so since the administration has been in place so we don't quite know exactly who is going to be in it and also what the policy is going to be I think it is going to be confrontational towards China and in that sense will be a continuation of the first Trump administration. This guy is just vying for a job, so when something goes down with China he can come back on NTD and talk some more. Oh yeah it's gonna be China I told you so! Mr. Trump probably knows that he got burned several times by the Chinese. I don't think he'll plan to have that happen again and i would note

1:08:32 Marco Rubio, Secretary of State. Mike Waltz is National Security Advisor and even Pete Hegseth at the Department of Defense These people are very good on China They know the threat that comes from the CCP and want to do something about it And then you have other people who will fill out the administration's team and they will have different views Some of them thinking that there is actually accommodation to be made with the Chinese Communist Party That we can reach a certain detente I don't think that's possible, but there are some people who think that. And then there are others who just want an all-out effort to bring down the Chinese Communist Party and then there is others who are just surprisingly appeasers so you get a mix but it remains to be seen exactly how this turns out finally But i think Mr Trump learned some lessons in his first

1:09:23 the time around and he's not likely to make those mistakes again. So one can be cautiously optimistic. Yeah, this is whatever happened to Russia or our worst enemies! This is our true adversary Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, China, China, China... You're a little early on the pivot bro Alright, I have some...I think good analysis. I've played this- Uh oh! Yes stand by This comes from Canada. I mean even more uh oh This guy is good. I've played him before he's a retired national defense dude for Candanavia Andrew Rasulis I think is how you pronounce it and he gives a much more accurate picture First of all this whole

CHAPTER 22 / 54 Discussion

Minsk II Agreements, Territorial Concessions, and Security Guarantees

Retired defense official Andrew Rasiulis analyzes the failure of the Minsk II agreements and the likelihood of Ukraine ceding territory, including Crimea and the land bridge. The discussion focuses on the spectrum of security guarantees that might replace NATO membership for Ukraine.

minsk ii· ukraine· crimea· nato· security guarantees· andrew rasiulis

1:10:16 the whole background to it has to be put into proper context of how we even got here. And I think he does a good job. Let me make us start by asking you, if how things are playing out especially between United States Donald Trump and Ukraine Zelensky in sort of a war of words that's broken out between them? The latest war of words is about the fact that what Trump is suggesting If the Ukrainians had implemented the Minsk II agreements, which were signed in 2015 and had they implemented them, the suggestion is that Russians would have no reason to attack since they would've gotten a neutral Ukrainian buffer zone from that deal.

1:10:59 So he's blaming Ukrainians for not implementing that deal. On the popularity ratings, I mean that is a bit of an issue because he says they are at 4% and most figures say 50%. That is just off-the wall thing. Exactly! Yes, that exactly right Ukraine did no adhere to the agreement, the Minsk 2 accord And they were invited to Saudi Arabia, by the way. Let's talk about Ukraine actually being left out from the first round of talks itself between United States and Russia and of course we've seen how there was an emergency meeting held in Europe in regards with that and then Zelensky also meeting with Turkey your take on how this is playing out in terms of ending the war? Well the Americans really want to push this which is why they're trying to keep it

1:11:44 really to the combatants or the protagonists, Russia-Ukraine and the United States as a broker. And that's like key difference from Biden and where they were doing having Ukrainians push it. And then as Trump says would take three years he got nowhere. So that's a major change in how they're gonna make the deal on the Russian and Americans want to drive this home. The Americans are also looking at their bilateral relationship with Russia and not related necessarily just to Ukraine. Now, with the Ukrainians Trump is saying they're going to bring them in and they offer them depending what you read Ukrainians were offered to be at the table in Saudi Arabia but they refused to do that so take your story on that one but yes behind-the-scenes there's a lot going on fact today in public Kellogg

1:12:32 Trump's envoy is arriving in Kiev to talk to Zelensky. So that shows a continual dialogue that is actually taking place. Exactly, and then finally what is? What is this? This is... Ah yes. What's realistically on the table, what will actually go down I think this guy has it right Let's talk about the concessions here What's your understanding, the manner in which its playing out The fact that we're seeing how Ukraine will not be a part of NATO as we have heard A victory of sorts for Vladimir Putin. And then we have the regions of Luhansk and Donetsk, where you've had people from Trump administration saying that Ukraine should forget about returning to its original borders. Do you see a victory after victory coming in for Putin in that regard? Well I mean Putin's going to get something from this and Rubio says all options are on the table now these are early days negotiating process and I cautioned that so I personally don't take anything off the table as of now but

1:13:33 given the, let's say the trend line if you will. Yes the territorial side of equation in all probability Russia will walk away with most if not all what it holds and for Russia Crimea and the land bridge to Crimea from Russia proper is absolutely key and that will be I believe a victory for Putin in that sense Now, the other side of the equation which is the guarantees that NATO membership really that's we all know the official positions. The rhetoric no NATO for Ukraine in terms of the Russians and so on but I think we have to wait to see how things work out there is a spectrum of security guarantees that could be negotiated for Ukraine and at this point it's premature to really speculate on what those guarantees will be even I would suggest on NATO membership

CHAPTER 23 / 54 Discussion

Mar-a-Lago Accords, NATO Dissolution, and European Defense

Speculation regarding the "Mar-a-Lago Accords" suggests a plan to restructure the financial system by swapping treasury bonds for long-term security guarantees. The hosts argue that NATO has functioned as a "bribe" to keep Europeans from fighting, suggesting the US should withdraw and let Europe manage its own defense.

mar-a-lago accords· nato· treasury bonds· european army· extortion

1:14:23 Yeah, I get the feeling that Trump's ultimate plan is dissolve NATO and we'll just offer security guarantees in return for things like no tariffs on our products or build an America. We will protect you. You can trust us don't worry! There's also talk of the Mar-a-Lago Accords, which now... I don't know if i was the first one to say it but I hear it everywhere now. The Mar-a-Lago Accord! This is crazy that in order to rejigger the financial system America will offer security guarantees to countries who swap their current treasury bonds for

1:15:21 Long-term like hundred year no coupon so zero interest loans, which would be very interesting If that happened have you heard about this? No those are two separate issues. I want to get back to the security thing Well know it's connected is its connected That's why well I suppose if you could you could probably make it seem connected But we're not doing that We're not going to put do security for Ukraine, they're going to have... I think it's going to be the following. Okay? I think there may be some pullback on NATO. There is going to be a determination that Europe should be protecting

1:16:03 Ukraine, there'll be no NATO in Ukraine but there'll be a security force provided by the Europeans who want to create an army anyway and this could be their kind of prototype. And they can put their little soldiers in there that keep things in order. Their green Army men? They're little green Army men, gray. And we will be divorced from the whole thing. This is costing us too much money. In fact, the entire NATO experiment if you look at the chart how much money's being spent We have essentially since World War II, this is not a protection treaty. This is a bribe we have been... We have bought off the Europeans the way I see it. Bought off that we've just provided tens of hundreds of billions of dollars to Europe not to fight anymore

1:16:52 And we keep throwing money, don't fight anymore. Don't worry we'll support this and support that and we're getting sick of it I mean it's just draining our economy We have other things to deal with so all South America is kind of lost in the Chinese as is Africa because we're concentrating too much on bribing the Europeans not to fight And that's all our money has been for. It's all the money in Ukraine is the same thing, it's all just draining United States treasury to bribe the Europeans not to fight with each other I think it's got an end they're going either have to fight if there's nothing... The only reason we are no fighting because were giving them free money? It's ridiculous let them fight! Each other?!

1:17:39 They're gonna have to, because they just try to keep us out of it. I mean they keep dragging us and they dragged us into World War One because the bankers, they tricked us into getting involved with that then they dragged this in the World War Two but we kind of thanks to Roosevelt we kinda put ourselves in that one and there's still hating each other and then their blame and the Russians who stopped that war really were allies, they were part of the Allies even though they were communists trying to take over everything. It's ridiculous, this bribery... This is just extortion! Do you remember when we said where are all the German podcasts? Yes you've said that a number of times Well I got a reply from our man Frank on the ground and it's worse than i thought and it's related to this The biggest German podcast is called Kontrafunk

CHAPTER 24 / 54 Discussion

German Media Censorship, Kontrafunk, and USAID Firings

Independent German journalists are reportedly fleeing to Switzerland to avoid government censorship, forming outlets like Kontrafunk. Meanwhile, a 60 Minutes segment on USAID firings is criticized for featuring a "phony" victim who previously worked as a political flack for Samantha Power.

1:18:43 Contra Funk. They are a 24-7 streaming station with podcasts consisting mainly of former public radio journalists who had either had it were fed up or got fired for not playing ball and they've gone to Switzerland that all these podcasts like Noctis Niveau, Paul Brandenburg runs that also in Switzerland they all had to go to Switzerland and After seeing the 60 minutes piece on German...

1:19:19 Yeah, I have clips. I have clips too do you want to be? I'm happy to play your clips Well this eclipse said that they were done so well by Jesse waters even though he did had to do the normal cutting back Can we just play those? Okay, I think they're incorporated very well in this kind of series all right all right Then then you could you can you can Addendum if you think the eclipse are weak why just Jesse water is it just irksome Well, I'm sorry. This will be the last time...I am now banning him Instead of defending the taxpayers the media is defending the government Here's 60 Minutes People are really scared and i think that you know 12 days ago people knew where their next paycheck was coming from they knew how they were- Oh, I'm sorry that's wrong one You have more than- No no! That's the right one It leads into the German stuff it's a four parter Okay 60 minutes? You don't do a teenage sigh

1:20:18 I'll just have an apple in my room. People are really scared, and I think that you know 12 days ago people knew where their next paycheck was coming from they knew- Wait a minute, back off stop! What? Is that some reference to an apple in my room?! Okay this is Aunt Gigi. I've told you about Aunt Gigi. Aunt Gigi who was my mom's aunt she would whenever she was upset about something she would do the Gigi sigh it's a big thing in our family but yeah you'd do it Okay, I'll just have an apple in my room then. That's what Aunt Gigi would say when she was on the losing side of an argument!

1:21:01 They're going to pay for their kids' daycare, their medical bills and then all gone overnight. All gone overnight for Christina Dry and Adam DuBard fired this month in the chaotic shutdown of foreign aid. They are not looking for competency they aren't looking if you're good at your job they are looking for pure loyalty tests And if you don't give it, you will be punished. There was no process? No one explained to them why they were being relieved? To my knowledge they received an email and then if they didn't leave the building they were escorted out of the building These people got generous buyouts Eight months severance I'm sorry but did CVS interview the fired Keystone Pipeline workers The fired army officers who refused a needle or black Americans who lost their job to migrants?

1:21:50 That one lady was Samantha Powers' speechwriter. She's no random civil servant, she is the top flack for the USAID chief. Funny I had that clip too only it had the original and I could have been Jesse Watters but no why just add No agenda with John C Dvorak and Jesse Waters It's Jay & Jay everybody If i can make half his salary do it Okay, yes. Well this woman did show up before and I had to-I was trying to get the clip for the last show and he found it It's so poorly done that I ran it through Adobe and you can kind of understand it but this woman

1:22:32 Since then, it turns out she works for some PR agency. She's a phony but she was also spotted earlier. Walters brings this out in the next clip. Just last week this same lady told ABC she was pocketing her pride flags The networks are using the same victim over and over. We started, we took down our pride flags. I took out any books that would be incriminating No one was talking We heard they started taking transcripts automatically of all our Google Meets They unplugged the news in the little kitchen galleys It didn't feel good and then Saturday all of the websites went down And then I lost complete access to my computer 60 Minutes is CBS's premiere investigative unit

Free Speech in Germany, Nazi History, and Cartoon Raids

A debate over the history of free speech in Nazi Germany follows a report on modern German police raiding a home over a racist cartoon. The segment highlights the severity of German laws regarding online insults and the lack of media pushback against these enforcement actions.

1:23:19 And they never mentioned the 20 million for Iraqi Sesame Street, or sex changes in Guatemala or DEI operas. Or all the dough spent on failed coups, never mentioned it. We're 36 trillion in debt. We're cutting headcount just like media organizations do to balance their books just like Clinton and Gore did. He did it again. Yes, yeah On the clip I'm more interested in your analysis not Jesse waters You get there? I don't need to do sound like him Well you and you spent a lot of time editing him out so I will give you that last week Vance was in Germany and told the Chancellor to knock off the censorship and step up their NATO spending

1:24:05 and the American media sided with the Germans, and called Vance Hitler. He was standing in a country where free speech was weaponized to conduct genocide And he met with the head of a political party that has far-right views and some historic ties to extreme groups The context of that was changing the tone of it. And you know that, that the censorship- I have to disagree with you. Was specifically about the right. No, no, I have to disagree with you. Free speech was not used to conduct a genocide. The genocide was conducted by an authoritarian Nazi regime that happened also be genocidal because they hated Jews and they hated minorities and they hated those... They had a list of people they hated but primarily the Jews There was no free speech in Nazi Germany there was none It was illegal to criticize the Nazi government

1:24:56 It was against the law to tell a joke about Hitler and he had a dumb mustache and one testicle. Couldn't joke about it! Newspapers were shut down, books were burned radio stations were censored free speech didn't trigger the Holocaust Okay that was funny Yeah I knew that you'd get something out of it I forgot about Hitler's One Ball I forgot about that Oh yeah One Ball Hitler I have-I have the book... I Was Hitler's Doctor No which discusses the one ball. That has to be a noagendafund.com, another No Agenda book recommendation! I don't know if you can find it... It's a very collectible book and here is the final clip where they go... Yeah, collectible that's me you know? You're a collector, I know And so this is where he wraps up and brings in the clip that you wanted to hear On the same day CBS celebrated an armed raid in Germany because a guy posted a cartoon

1:25:52 It's 6.01 on a Tuesday morning and we were with state police as they raided this apartment in northwest Germany Inside, six armed officers searched the suspect's home then seized his laptop and cell phone Prosecutors say those electronics may have been used to commit a crime The crime, posting a racist cartoon online. And it's a crime to insult them online as well? Yes If somebody posts something that is not true And then somebody else reposts it or likes it. Are they committing a crime? In the case of reposting, it is a crime as well because the reader can't distinguish whether you just invented this or just reposted it. Germany's letting migrants into the country who are committing gang rape and they have cops kicking down doors over a cartoon CBS is defending Germany

1:26:49 Uh, yeah. I don't have to play the other clips people can listen to them in the show notes but yes i had no idea No idea that Germany was that crazy about it-I thought it was only the UK but the Germans are equally if not Just worse with oh if you offend somebody certainly if it's a politician you get a 3,000 euro fine They've knock on your door at 6 in the morning. What I was unaware of this I was too and I got a DM from one of our German producers who is when you copy the cartoon because I can't find it I built a dm what does that have to do with a cartoon?

Put it up to the mic that was here Hold on a second let me open it up here we go I'm sorry what no Joe Joe yeah okay He's working with yeah going put it closer What? Yeah but why what's your purpose of calling hold on

1:28:11 Oh, oh you're I owe your Social Security benefits. Okay send it away Thanks. I appreciate it You really need a phone patch man I do. That was a good one, it would have been great for the show He's gonna give me some free money. Ah! Can't believe it Adam you have no idea there is an election campaign in Germany sponsored by the Initiative der Deutsche Privatradios Podcasts und Streams which are all government approved tax funded podcasts So there are podcast but they're all government approved podcasts that's not why we invented podcasting people

1:28:55 Wow, that's bad. I had this is... This is actually kind of mind-blowing! I was actually surprised by it if wasn't for the 60 minutes but that other report where they busted in the guy's house and CBS played it straight so you think that's a crime yeah it's a crime okay oh that's a crime and they will didn't nobody push back and said this is crazy And one prosecutor she was kinda cute young No, CBS did not push back. Did not say this is crazy and as a small point of contention it's not free speech people have to stop saying that its freedom of speech Have you noticed this? That its coming into... Well, it's free speech! Well, speeches are free but it's freedom of speech I don't know why it irks me but it does It does, I don't know why it irks ya Wait wait No no

Microsoft Quantum Computing, Qubits, and the AI Pivot

Microsoft announces the Majorana 1 chip, claiming a breakthrough in error-resistant quantum computing. The hosts view this as a marketing "pivot" away from underperforming AI technologies, noting that while quantum computing promises to break Bitcoin encryption, commercial viability remains years away.

microsoft· quantum computing· qubits· ai· machine learning· bitcoin

1:29:58 You have to do a clicking sound. A click? I can't do clicking! Like that? Yeah, and then followed by... I'll just have an apple in my room. I'm telling you this is the silliest thing ever. It says on Gigi she was the best Well, another prediction comes true. The pivot is here I've been waiting for it and once again i am right the pivot from AI to quantum computing Microsoft has created a new chip that shows quantum computing is much closer than recently believed

1:30:34 Quantum computers hold the promise of carrying out calculations that would take today's systems millions of years. But the fundamental building block of quantum computers, called a qubit is extremely difficult to control and prone to errors. Microsoft says its Maya Rana 1 chip is less prone to those errors than rivals providing as proof for scientific papers set to be published in academic journal Nature The chip has been in the works for nearly two decades. It has a new type of material, this is Microsoft's Cheetah Nyack in a video provided by the company. and but no one had really reliably created this in the laboratory or been able to harness it for quantum information processing. Google last year showed off its own new quantum chip saying that commercial applications are only five years away IBM said large-scale quantum computers will be online by 2033 Microsoft did not give a timeline for when its chip would be scaled up to quantum computers that can outpace today's machines

1:31:40 But in a blog post, the company said it would be quote years not decades. And we go to our resident computer expert John C. Dvorak to tell us about the future of quantum computing. They can't get it to work. Why is Microsoft saying that it's only a few years away? They've picked up this strategy from, you're not in the news cycle anymore, you pick up the strategy from IBM and make some sort of statement because everyone was jacked about quantum computing. Quantum computing! I almost had a clip...I can't remember what the source was but there was something

1:32:16 It was either on Fox or one of these networks and someone said, well... Oh yeah it was Harrison Faulkner that black woman on the Outnumbered show. She says something like, well the things will be different when we get quantum computing. Yes! She says out of the blue she brings- she doesn't know quantum computing from a hole in the wall neither does anybody else why would you bring it up? Because it's the pivot because then we have a problem AI What is the problem? AI sucks It's not delivering. For what it does, it does a very fine job on both sides Yeah but its losing money! This is the problem! Well there is that! We're not talking about that! I put in the show notes and I'm not going to read them but one of our machine learning

1:33:07 I'm all in machine learning if you want to call that AI. Okay, machine learning is a real thing it's been around for a long time and before it was AI it was machine learning. Oh machine learning yes machine learning oh now it's called AI and as called AGI which is the general intelligence or generative intelligence we have superintelligences they're always coming with something new now oh well we put the quantum computing in there and Bitcoin will be broken This producer said, if it ever gets to artificial general intelligence he said it will probably be like data on Star Trek and completely autistic. And I think that's probably true that will be the level of

1:33:55 AI that we're going to get. And so this is just the new shiny toy and I think Microsoft, they did something... Yeah you're right! They saw a marketing opportunity And they jumped on it. And it's also cool because you know, you get to say well You know these things Bob they have to be so and you get to say the word cubits. Yes This is a good tip by the way Even this little early for the tip of the day if you want to look smart in the bar around the ladies just Say I'm working on that qubits in quantity quantum computer. Yeah, they'll flock to you these girls! The girls love it! They keep telling me more! The Qubit talk is very successful I guarantee it now and Microsoft has a pretty good how are they marketing wise do you think? Do you think they can pick this ball and make it run because you know... You will never hear another word really

1:34:50 You think this is just a one and done? They're not going to pick it. I mean, everyone on CNBC is like, oh, Microsoft! Oh, how's that going to affect the whole body? The qubits! Quantum computing... Everyone's come on. Well you know quantum computing is amazing what it can do. It gets all of those sub-zero temperatures and bizarre... It doesn't do ones or zeros does ones and zeroes at the same time times four. It's four times Bitcoin is gonna break!" It always ends with that. I saw Scott Adams post the other day. Okay Yeah, well and we have to... You're not doing it right. I don't get it! It's more of a release like let your whole body just go. But I'm trying to get working on it you're leaving out the last gasp you know that's almost dead and then That's my version of it is this. It's not good enough

Toronto Plane Crash, Flight Attendant Heroism, and DEI Pilots

An Endeavor Airlines flight crash-landed and flipped at Toronto's Pearson Airport, resulting in no fatalities. The discussion highlights the heroic actions of the flight attendants during the evacuation and pushes back against immediate speculation blaming DEI hiring practices for the accident.

toronto pearson airport· endeavor airlines· dei· flight attendants· crj· aviation safety

1:35:45 And this is, and I need to say something about this. Well let me set it up with a clip because we did have an interesting aviation incident. This video shows passengers evacuating from their plane after it crash landed and flipped upside down at Toronto's Pearson Airport. As we made our descent and they touched down It was just a very forceful event where all of the sudden everything just kind of went sideways And then the next thing I know is kind of a blink and I'm upside down still strapped in. Everyone on that plane suddenly became very close in terms of how to help one another, how to console one another and that was powerful." The aircraft came down fast

1:36:30 landing so hard that it lost its right wing, then burst into flames on the runway. By some miracle no one was killed while 21 were injured. It's really important to recognize how grateful we are that there was no loss of life or life-threatening injuries in yesterday's accident." The airport CEOs said their two longest runways remained closed as investigators examined the aircraft on site to try to determine what caused the accident. It's possible wintry weather conditions may have played a part, after days of record snowfall The airport was experiencing blowing snow and gusts of 65 kilometers an hour at the time of the crash Questions also remain as to why the plane is missing its right wing

1:37:17 So, I don't know...I don't think the pilot's identity has been released yet. Yes because Endeavor Airlines or Endeavor, the company that runs those particular series of planes supposedly is all DEI women Okay so that's exactly the point that i want to push back against They they have a marketing video and it's like we're unmanned We're all women and they got the hottest chicks who I doubt our pilots. Oh, yeah Have you seen the video? I saw the video is that hot well they trust me There's a fat guy in there at the end Okay so their market

1:37:59 You can't, this is you. I didn't realize that you just do this constantly every time anyone says anything you do that noise it's a curry thing and but you could follow up by saying I'll just have a persimmon in my room or something like that They are if they're mushy. Okay, so that was their marketing the pilot on the radio I don't know if that was the pilot in command was a guy who sounded very authoritative as they were coming for the landing But, you know not every crash is like our whole airlines are not staffed with only DEI. It's become a little annoying I have flown with many women. One of my instructors was a woman and... Some people believe that women are better pilots because they have a lighter touch and they don't try to force things

1:38:56 I don't know about that. I see no difference, I've been in very poor conditions flying with a female instructor. I was very impressed. There's no difference except... And by the way Abby was like 5'1", she had to sit on the cushion and she is a fantastic pilot. She's now actually at a regional airline. She got scooped away. Who's Abby? She was my instructor here when I'm flying the Cirrus planes. So, it's just bullcrap. Was there a problem for white straight men getting a job? Yes absolutely! That doesn't mean that all pilots suck and so before i get to the accident itself which everyone is just speculating based upon a video which is pretty decent video of the crash

1:39:50 The people who need to be celebrated in this case, at least one but probably two women are the flight attendants. This is what people are missing in this whole thing. This plane is upside down, you don't know if it's going to burst into flames These flight attendants are helping people get out of the plane They probably help people unbuckle who are hanging upside down These are the real heroes here that no one ever talks about and that's what they're trained to do they're not just there to serve your sprite or your coffee, they are there for your safety and I think they performed very well. That one video in the... Some guys like oh yeah i better film this while i'm getting out of the crashed airplane okay that tells you a lot about our society but there's the flight attendant standing right there helping everybody get out those people you must thank your flight attendants so we don't know exactly what happened breaking news nobody knows anything

1:40:54 It does look like the plane had a hard landing. We'll get all the details once we have the flight data recorder and the cockpit voice recorder, it could be that it was so hard that the landing gear collapsed because what ultimately happened is the right wing touched the ground, dug into the ground which was mainly snow covered. It could have also been that there was a bank of snow on the right these are pretty low wings on the CRJ and that hard landing you know the wings are flexible boom hit the ground and of course the reason why it turned over is because

1:41:32 that right wing got ripped off, which was good because all the explosion happened behind the plane as it's moving forward. The left wing still has lift flips it over and that was also good really because the fuselage didn't have time to break apart because the tail then becomes an anchor And I mean you walk away from a great landing So we don't know exactly what happened. It could be mechanical with the gear to everybody I know and myself, it looked like that was a hard landing there was no flare which is you know when you pull back just before you land Could it have been a wind gust that stopped all of a sudden? We don't know at this moment. We don't know You caught me flat-footed on the last show About what about the multiplex

1:42:22 of aviation communications. You really caught me off guard, I'm like wow! And we don't have to... Yeah, I got nothing but notes about this and the whole thing boils down to one letter that came in from one of our guys, one of our producers who said look Yeah, it's doable if you want to drop billions of dollars into rejiggering the whole system to an extreme. It's not worth it because and I had to agree and I said well these incidents these have duplex incidents are so as a problem once the last does that happen all the time? No, it happened this one time maybe and it was just like part of a larger complex of problems

1:43:07 Okay, I bail on the whole thing. There was just one other point that as I thought about it which no because I must have gotten 20 emails from...I mean I am always blown away by the level of expertise in every area It's pretty funny actually you know what's funny? Let me just interrupt you for a second here It's really amazing to me the kind of expertise and experiences we have as a general audience in so far as our producers are concerned. But yet I can't get a sweatshirt or hoodie from Ohio State, a fan of the football team that won the national championship instead I got a bib from

1:43:48 from one of the producers and sent a baby bib, Ohio State baby bib. That should tell you something! When I was over at TWIT, they would...I'd get plenty of sweatshirts from people but no all we have we have a lot of experts but nobody that seems to ever degree from Ohio State well there you go i'll call JD maybe JD Vance can help out The one thing I wanted to add to it is that in the current system, because it is half duplex and when you key up no one else can talk basically. Well they can but then no one hears anything

1:44:26 It has created a very strict protocol of waiting your turn. And because you're listening much better and it's not digital, it's analog so some guy is coming in like this... You know? You're really listening much better. You have even much better overall situational awareness I mean what your basically saying or what you questioned would be the equivalent of a party line If it was a party line anybody could just talk up whenever they wanted to it would be a complete mess there'd be no procedural discipline and also add to that that One frequency like this one frequency here at our airport in Gillespie That's used for three other airports around and so you know, you would be confused I said wait a minute if you're just coming in loud and clear and everybody's every

1:45:16 everybody's full duplex, it could be very- it could be much more dangerous. So... But you did it! You caught me flat footed I was like holy crap I had never thought about this No! It's your not doing it right By the way anonymous air traffic controller says I am so happy Doge is getting into the FAA he says thank goodness He says the union is the problem. The union boondogglers and union leadership officials in local and national positions are terrified of being forced back into their facility to actually work as controllers There's a whole layer of middle management that does nothing You know that...

Delta CEO on FAA Cuts, Radar Technology, and T-Cell Exhaustion

Delta's CEO dismisses concerns that FAA staff cuts will impact safety, noting the cuts targeted non-critical functions. Simultaneously, Yale scientists report findings of T-cell exhaustion and prolonged spike protein production in some COVID-19 vaccine recipients.

1:46:08 I don't have any, a lot of clips. There's a couple of superclips about this where they blame Trump for this wreck? Oh yeah, of course! Yeah and so i do have at least one thing that kind of incorporates what you just said which is the Gail King on it on The Morning Show she goes out she uses this thesis against and she's got the Delta CEO on who explains something to her And this is a clip Delta CEO versus Gail King I know the Trump administration recently fired many employees of the FAA administration. Do those cuts worry you and do you think that impacts safety? I know you just said it's the safest way to travel, but after looking at all these mishaps a lot of people are very nervous. Do these cuts affect you? The cuts do not affect us Gail. I've been in close communication with the Secretary of Transportation. I understand that the cuts

1:47:02 at this time are something that are raising questions. But the reality is there's over 50,000 people that work at the FAA and the cuts I understand were 300 people and they were in non-critical safety functions. The Trump administration has committed to investing deeply in terms of improving the overall technologies that are used in their traffic control systems and modernizing disguise it committed to hiring additional controllers and investigators and safety investigators. So no, I'm not concerned with that at all. Completely true! And what the anonymous controller said what would really improve the air traffic system is two things weather radar and communication lines these two systems are from the 60s weather radar is so delayed that what air traffic depicts as sometimes not even relatively close to what pilots see on their iPads

1:47:54 Then the systems go down, they have to call in. They have to dial in eight digit numbers to reconnect so they're actually working with very outdated radar technology that's something that could be easily upgraded So there was some interesting news that came out that Alex Berenson was all just going nuts about NUTS! Top Yale scientists have found T cell exhaustion and prolonged spike protein production in some COVID vaccine recipients, and they are saying that well it looks like these people have HIV virus.

CHAPTER 31 / 54 Discussion

Deborah Birx, Long COVID, and HIV Comparisons

Dr. Deborah Birx is criticized for a media tour comparing Long COVID to the asymptomatic phase of HIV. The hosts suggest this is a "setup" to reframe vaccine injuries as a chronic condition requiring lifelong pharmaceutical intervention, similar to modern HIV treatments.

deborah birx· long covid· hiv· aids· immune system· chris cuomo

1:48:43 which I'm pretty sure we talked about on the show was actually found in these vaccines. This was the French Nobel Prize guy that brought it up, so when he first looked at the breakdown of the genetics of this COVID itself, he saw it in there and he thought that maybe this was part of a system that was going to be used as a way of vaccinating against HIV, and that's why it was hanging in there. Well so now what's happening is very obvious Deborah Birx Rear Admiral Birx is out on a PR tour Yeah And her whole... the whole... As far as I can tell Her mission is one thing Is to say its long COVID

1:49:42 and to steer you away from noticing that long COVID may in fact be a vaccine injury, and may in fact be not the full-blown AIDS but your immune system is weakened by the insertion of HIV virus. Here she is with the Cuomo kid. Comparisons to HIV... You've done a ton of research on this He's read it in by the way There's no reason he starts off saying well comparisons to HIV What? Comparisons to HIV, you've done a ton of research in this. Do you believe this is a false flag? Is there something that contextually people need to understand about that comparison or is this much darker potential reality than we knew? The reason the comparison to HIV is important is because HIV was also asymptomatic

1:50:34 I mean, you couldn't see the virus through symptoms because people were infected for seven eight nine years before they developed symptoms. No no you killed them with your interferon rejected cancer drug that's what happened allegedly But HIV quietly destroyed our immune system and we learned a lot about immunology from HIV, and it's changed completely our cancer therapy. Thank you Klipka Soden, AZT yes? We're learning now about mitochondria and viral impact and brain fog and the changes in our neurons and the cells that nourish

1:51:13 are neurons that really allow us to think and move. And we're learning that because what a long COVID has done, and so there's two sides of this coin every time there's a lot of destruction that mild and moderate COVID can do that is on scene just like HIV was destroying our immune system but what came out of that is brilliant science that changed how we treated HIV and if you're diagnosed today, you can live a very normal lifespan and people not only survive but thrive. We need to get to the place where people with long COVID...we've done the research so that people with long COVID cannot only survive but thrive. I mean she's literally saying you've got HIV

1:51:57 Which, by the way, HIV there was no reason for it to kill people but with full development of AIDS in my opinion. I'm not a scientist but i saw a lot of people die after they went into the hospital after a PCR test or the equivalent with AIDS And it was staring us in the face the whole time. She and Fauci were the AIDS team together, and now she's out there... You're gonna see it! They're gonna say well, long COVID is kind of like HIV It's the same. It may be actual HIV does not mean you're going to die Does not have to mean that at all That was in my opinion one of the largest horrible scams before COVID and now here she is with a panel

CHAPTER 32 / 54 Discussion

Public Health Trust, Vaccine Hesitancy, and "Waste, Fraud, and Abuse"

Dr. Birx admits that public health officials failed to explain that COVID vaccines did not prevent infection, contributing to a doubling of vaccine hesitancy. The discussion notes the repetitive use of the phrase "waste, fraud, and abuse" as a political mantra in current discourse.

public health· deborah birx· vaccine hesitancy· mrna· science· piers morgan

1:52:42 although it's mainly her speaking in these clips, on Pierce Morgan doing the same thing. I got to travel the country for many months during COVID working at the state level and community level and what i witnessed was a lot of undiagnosed disease that could have been treated early but then resulted in COVID deaths And I saw a health system that had completely deteriorated in our rural areas Our rural areas really don't have access to health care anymore and the hub-and-spoke model that we had set up to get really sick people into their regional medical centers, they were overwhelmed themselves. So COVID pointed out a lot of our issues with chronic disease

1:53:27 Like with early HIV, when we started we were only treating those with symptoms. Well that was the tip of the iceberg! When we finally started working and finding asymptomatic individuals and getting them on treatment early before they had evidence of disease they could thrive." Do you hear what she's doing? This is a setup this is a huge setup to pivot to quantum computing to pivot and say well gee it's just like HIV but we'll give you this prep or whatever medicine they've got waiting in the wings, it's probably the same muck. And you'll be able to thrive don't worry about it will cure you of your long COVID and oh by the way here she is lying out

1:54:12 right lying. And what we've done wrong in public health is we didn't explain that COVID vaccines were nothing like the childhood vaccines and that the childhood vaccines, like many of the diseases you get it once you don't get it again. Laugh Tale! And this is getting the children to have that disease without getting the deadly consequences Wow Boy, I remember they may not have said it exactly like that but they sure made it sound like that. What is your recollection John? Well a couple of things first of all I don't subscribe necessarily to the fact that she's that this is vaccine damage JC who had original COVID had long COVID

1:54:55 and he never got a shot, so I'm not... And we know that HIV was part of the COVID-19 genome itself. So I think there's some elements there that aren't being discussed or ignored. So I'm not convinced that this thesis of yours is completely correct now. What I do remember though is yes they were totally on board with 100% effectiveness in fact they jacked it up from like 80% effective to 90%, then it was 100% safe and effective. They were injecting pregnant women! And they were injecting pregnant women, which should never have been done because it was an emergency use authorization It wasn't even a regular product

1:55:38 But now it was, no I'm not arguing that. That's for sure. I just don't know what this woman is up to. Well listen- That is not what the COVID vaccine was designed to do! It wasn't designed against infection and if you look at the vaccine hesitancy rates they've doubled since COVID. It wasn't designed to protect against infection? I'm sorry? Yeah, that's just a blatant lie. So we have to start addressing these things. You can't just ignore them! And Debra let me ask you, let me ask you Debra given that you were the face of COVID... Play back her own clips! Yeah exactly The Trump presidency at the time do you share this doctor who i was with do you share the concerns about the longer term negative impact of some of the covid vaccines

1:56:26 The messenger RMA vaccine should have been rolled out for the people that were at risk for severe disease because that's what the vaccine was developed for. Oh, pregnant mothers! But when we say that we're following the science and data... We need to follow the science and data. And the science in the data said people primarily over 65 or people with significant comorbidities were at risk for severe disease. It should have only...we only supposed to kill off old people? Got it Those are the individuals that should have been immunized first. And we should have put our science behind our immunization schedule. You kept telling us it was the science!

1:57:06 All I heard was follow the science. That's the science, the sciences in it's a science here get a burger Get your shot is follow the science and protected those most at risk It went to young people in hospitals before it went into our elderly and nursing homes that Is not following the science and the data so I am all for following the life of the data but it does actually a statement, it should be a reality. And when we don't match what we do in public health to the science and the data that is when we get into trouble and that's where you start to fracture trust with the American people.

1:57:42 I like the science and data, it's always the same. Science and data. You know this reminds me of safe and effective in that the current one on the right is waste fraud and abuse. It's not waste abuse and fraud or fraud or just waste. It's waste, fraud and abuse so they say it... If someone wants to put a super cut together you could have everybody on Fox and half the people on the other networks saying waste, fraud and abuse as though it was a mantra Yes, yes that's true. I'm just very disturbed by this campaign she's on and you're right why isn't Pierce playing a supercut of her saying safe and effective follow the signs it's all good you got to get it moms you gotta get it oh yeah everybody has said you gotta have a booster gotta have three boosters gotta four boosters gotta five six six boosters you've got to have all that people lost their jobs

Rising Cancer Rates, Heart Attacks, and Measles Outbreaks

Reports indicate a steady rise in cancer and heart attack deaths among adults under 50 since 2020, with some officials blaming marijuana consumption. Additionally, a measles outbreak in West Texas is linked to an under-vaccinated Mennonite community.

1:58:38 I can't believe she's... It's an apology tour. She is never without a mission, this woman. Well, maybe the mission is the apology tour because they want to keep mRNA in play No kidding! Because you know Stargate we're gonna solve cancer by the way while we're on it Hold on a second. Here we go. According to a new report on cancer, cancer is appearing more than ever before in women and younger adults as well for the first time in years men and women now have nearly the same cancer risk it's a shift driven by a rise in cancer cases among women under 50

1:59:21 According to the 2025 report from the American Cancer Society, cancer diagnosis in younger adults are increasing at a steady rate and overall people under 65. What could it be? Are seeing cancer rates climb between 1-3% compared to older adults And that's challenging the long-held belief that cancer is primarily a disease of aging. Okay, and then we have this report... Heart attacks are still rare for young people but lately the rates are rising. What? According to the Smith Heart Institute people 25 to 44 saw nearly 33% increase in heart attack deaths

1:59:56 since 2020. Since 2020? What could have changed since 2020 I'm trying to, I'm racking my brain and thanks for the people. Thanks for the 33. What happened in 2020? Chances are if you know 10 people or at least two of those people will have had a heart attack Dr. Zachariah Neely, a cardiologist with Riverside Health says there are several reasons behind this like lack of exercise, a rise in obesity and even marijuana consumption. That's what it is. Traditionally, it has been viewed as a safer alternative to tobacco. Marijuana and marijuana products actually seem to be just as if not more pro-inflammatory as well as putting you at risk for heart disease and developing heart attacks in the future." According to the CDC, heart disease is the leading cause of death in the U.S..

2:00:51 These lying people and the pharmaceutical industry, oh we better do something before RFK Jr. gets in. Get your flu shot! On the Medical Watch for you this afternoon it is the worst flu season to hit the US in 15 years The CDC reports there have been at least 29 million estimated cases so far this season There have been 16 thousand deaths though February. They've got morgue, refrigerated truck morgues! 68 kids have died there have been also a minimum of 370 thousand hospitalizations this season may be more severe due to falling vaccination rates in recent years for some groups including children I believe 16,000 is actually low it's typically it's more into 30 to 60 thousand those numbers are dubious okay

2:01:44 We had to be, during the COVID period we found these numbers were dubious. Zero! There was zero during COVID there were no flu deaths, zero it went away and flu was gone it's crazy but wait We have breaking news, we have an outbreak! The measles outbreak in rural West Texas has grown to 58 cases as of today. No wait until you hear the cause of this I can tell you... Can you guess? Mallards. No no! Experts believe it jumped the state line into eastern New Mexico with eight people now diagnosed With that highly contagious virus, public health officials in New Mexico have said they suspect some of the state's cases are linked to the Texas outbreak but have not confirmed it yet. In Texas 13 people are hospitalized State health officials say it is the largest outbreak in 30 years there

2:02:33 The cases in Texas are concentrated in a close-knit, undervaccinated Mennonite community where many children are homeschooled or taught in private religious schools. It's the religious freaks! It's their fault! Blame it on them! The Mennonites... What are Mennonites by the way? What is there...? It looks like an Amish. Oh... It's a spin off. It's a different group but I think it's similar. Ah, it's a subgroup. Okay And then finally... Or an overgroup, maybe they may be the progenitors. I'm not sure. I should know we should both know this. We're both Americans these are Americans we're talking about we should know what the deal is and we don't It just sounds like ooh Mennonites ooh they're there because of measles oh no

Ozempic for Alcoholism, Fox News Trust, and Talk Radio History

A new study suggests Ozempic may reduce alcohol cravings, while a legal battle continues over Rupert Murdoch's attempt to ensure Lachlan Murdoch maintains control of Fox News. The hosts reflect on the history of San Francisco talk radio stations KSFO and KGO.

ozempic· semaglutide· fox news· rupert murdoch· lachlan murdoch· talk radio

2:03:16 And then finally, ah yes let's just reiterate why we need Ozempic to be on Medicare. There may be yet another use for the drugs Ozempic and Lugovine beyond diabetes and weight loss A new study shows the active ingredient semi-glutide may also help reduce alcohol cravings in people with alcohol use disorder That's a condition where person can't stop drinking alcohol or has become dependent on it. In the study, people injected with semaglutide had reduced alcohol cravings in fewer heavy drinking days. Roughly 400 million people suffer with alcohol use disorder around the world." I have the data sheet here as to how that works? Why people stop drinking while on Ozempic

2:04:06 It's because... Probably because they're nauseous. No, they can't find the bottle because they go blind. Noooo! Yeah, I don't agree with that. That was a long way. It wasn't necessary. 11 second truth wants to come out? Truth wants to come out? Obviously. Sean Hannity promoting Laura Trump's new program. Alright, joining us now the host of the upcoming hit show My View with Laura Sh- Trump and by the way take that to the bank it will be a hit show. Laura shill? Laura shit! He says Laura Shit. Laura Shit?! Of the upcoming hit show my view with Laura shit...Trump and by the way take that to the bank it will be a hit show. Laura Shit what is what was in his mind

2:04:53 The show, probably. Laura Trump doesn't seem to have the personality to pull off a show. I don't know why she... Fox is gonna change which will be interesting as you know Rupert Murdoch has been trying to change his irrevocable trust which is kind of like huh isn't it irrevocable for the fact that its irrevocable? And he wanted to not have his liberal children to get control of Fox News and News Corp. He wanted to give it to Lachlan. Lachlan, the one that's more middle-of-the road? Yeah well it looks like that's not gonna happen so what will happen to Fox News

2:05:43 It'll be like CNN and MSNBC You're what will happen to God although I have to say I have to mention this because I had done radio work for KSFO and KGO you've done radio work. Have ya? Yes, I love mm-hmm And the guy who did it in the guy I can't remember his name I should remember his name with a station manager for cagey Oh which was very had a bunch of liberals on there yacking away about stuff, the talk radio in the old days. He also ran the most conservative station which was the other one, I guess it was KSFO but he... The same guy whose name will come to me, he could do... He himself was a rampant liberal

2:06:31 But he had no problem running a money-making organization that did nothing but conservative talk radio. In fact, it's where Rush Limbaugh ended up. So it is possible you don't have to... You know if you're a money maker, yeah maybe you can say well I'm not going with the MSNBC stuff because that just loses money. Well maybe his liberal children don't care about making money they've got their money They're gonna do it for America. What kind of a break? How were these kids raised they're gonna do it for America Well, he had eight wives I mean who knows who raised them you don't know You don't know if we were running the show We'd know what to do but I don't know we'd know what to do. We'd have only doing in what's-her-name Becky What's her name with that woman? He kept that did the sigh

2:07:26 Aunt Gigi? Aunt Gigi, yes. I gotta write that down on the free head. Welcome to Fox News! With Aunt Gigi... And with that i want to thank you for your courage saying good morning to you the man who put the C's in the topo conductor say hello to my friend on the other end his name is Mr John C Devorah Yes, I'm here without my echo box. In the morning to you Mr. Adam Crane. Oh no! Ship's sea boots on the ground feet in the air subs into water and all the dames and knights out there. Oh no, no echo box this is a problem. Let me count the trolls for a second. We have 2042...2042 in the troll room. Nico Seim by the way has put together a Troll Count Average webpage for me to consult

2:08:16 And so the last show... Then our numbers are gonna all be skewed. No, no! So they're all going to be in terms of our history? No he has everything He's got the whole countless examples Okay so the last show Thursday was 1844 so we're well above that We're 200 above almost Yeah and the average is about 14 so way over The last 10 shows on Thursday has been 2050 The last 100 shows has been 1892. That's the average See, this is good data For what? Well to fill up time obviously It's just to talk about stuff I like it He's got a good... he's working on it So when he's ready then I'll let everyone find and launch so they can count themselves Have yourself be counted Oh please Be a member Anyway I'm part of a big group

2:09:12 The trolls are in the troll room at trollroom.io and of course they're there to be our live studio audience, to assist in times of necessity and to troll which is really the best thing they do They're very very good at trolling And we appreciate that You can also listen to it on any of the modern podcast apps It'll be found at podcastapps.com Today I recommend Fountain There's a new version of Fountain They've got comments now and all kinds of stuff And of course the big feature is when you subscribe to the No Agenda podcast, you'll get it within 96 seconds of us posting the podcast.

2:10:08 I want to thank people who support us. As John rightly pointed out, we don't get any government money no USAID cash but it seems like in Germany we could make a killing and do a pretty good job there with the government podcast system which would be kind of fun Instead, we ask you to contribute value back to us. And so all of those people who sent us notes like the anonymous controller or like the many radio experts... It's just so much that everyone is an expert at something when you hear something come up it will probably be wrong

2:10:46 correct us. We're not wrong! Not always wrong, but sometimes we're wrong and people correct us. We've been wrong now and again. People call us out on it. They put us back on the center line. It's good, it's appreciated. It's time talent and treasure. We have artists who participate gladly in trying to get us the best possible album art for to use for each episode. Tonda Neal, man she did not like this one we chose for Episode 1739 which is titled Hypophora.

2:11:23 She was mad about it, kind of. Why? Well she said this is the most infantile piece of crap... I'm paraphrasing but she thought it was lame! She thought you know the other football art was better there was no blood You know she wanted blood people bludgeoning each other. She just thought it was lame someone just typed in some things into a prompt and there it is That's all they did. I think she just hurt he's hurt why what does she do that was so great? Well, it was she's done lots of great art What are you talking about? I'm talking about on that for that show in particular No She was just saying in general in general. Oh She was creaking okay. I have the solution

2:12:10 Start a blog. She was correct about the she thought the boxing soccer was very poorly placed It was a bad color, which we both agree is correct Oh yeah No I we both mean I said when we picked it I said the problem was but it's too small boxing soccer Was way too small yes But you agreed? Yes, but we picked him because we thought it was funny and It was funny. Yeah, it was definitely funny and there wasn't the one I liked them the most was they tan staffles Which I guess is some sort of cookie. No, it's an acronym we've been through that before Yes But he did a or he she did a Plate glass no thing as a free lunch Tom Stoffel is the acronym There there's no such thing as a free lunch

2:13:03 There ain't no such thing as a free lunch. Yes, exactly Which one did Tom Stoffel do? He did the stained glass window. Yeah, it was pretty! You used that for the newsletter I saw it. Used it for the newsletter...I liked a lot of it and picked as the winner but had nothing to do with the show really just was an evergreen. And so we both decided that boxing soccer guys coming out with their gloves on was the way to go. There was nothing else what else is there to pick? What did Tantino recommend?

2:13:39 No, she just said it was infantile. And I'm like yeah that's us in a nutshell. Yeah that's the way it is! So what? Find a better argument! I hope we don't scare her away for good now. She's sweet. She's a sweet girl. If she's an artist she puts up with guff. Guff exactly. She used to make scrapbooks about me She did? Yeah, remember? She had a crush on you. Oh yeah! And she gave the scrapbooks to me when I had the meetup in Amsterdam. They're...I cherish them. You still have them?! Yo, yeah! Does Tina know about this? First thing when I came home was like look at these scrapbooks but I was uh...I was in...uh...I was a teen heartthrob This is where you can do that... Thank you all of these artists many of these pieces show up in The Chapter Art

2:14:38 in the Modern Podcast app. So it's not like you're not throwing your art away if we don't pick it for the album art, I think most of these were used. Was there anything else that we talked about? You kind of liked the idea of the Bay Bridge underwater... Yeah, I did But it didn't quite... It wasn't that good. I mean, it was a good idea but it wasn't executed to the point where it should be done That was actually at Tonton Hill There ya go Maybe that's what she wanted. That was a good idea, it was outstanding but it wasn't... What was the problem? How could she improve on it? I think that she could improve on it by just not using it at all

Bitcoin Donations, Stripe, and Stablecoins

The hosts discover that the "crypto" donation option on their Stripe page currently supports USDC and Solana but excludes Bitcoin. This confirms a long-held thesis regarding the institutional push toward stablecoins over decentralized assets like Bitcoin.

2:15:25 Chasing away artists one episode at a time. Oh goodness gracious, all right well thank you very much to... was it Blue Acorn? I think it was Blue Acorn wasn't it Blue Acorn. Yeah, Blue Acorn who brought us the artwork for episode 1739 we appreciate that We also like to thank everybody who supports us financially it's a third leg of the time talent and treasure we thank everyone $50 and above never under $50 for reasons of anonymity there are people just don't want to be even risk being mentioned we understand that And of course at NoahJenTheDonations.com is where you can set up a recurring donation

2:16:03 Any amount, any frequency. I need to correct you though there is no Bitcoin donation via Stripe? I heard about this from Jay this morning when she called with an urgent call which is rare. Have you heard from Adam?! I said what? She says the Bitcoin button which is on the Stripe donation page... You saw it there! It says crypto not bitcoin Well, hold on what it says crypto not Bitcoin. So as you click on it, so wait Bitcoin is crypto if I'm not mistaken right? It is a crypto the OG cryptocurrency Yes, oh gee crypto yes and your choices are stable coin USDC which is the circle stable coin or you can use Solana

2:16:56 There is no Bitcoin. I never even heard of Solana. Oh, no it's very popular. What about Ethernet coin? You cannot use Ethernet coin either but you can see the move towards stablecoin which is... Yeah well that has been your thesis all along okay well you can't use bitcoin then we'll find something else somebody tested and I guess you were gonna donate to the show yes I was going this I was good you're right I was gonna test it and like okay let's hope I can do this anonymously And I click on the crypto. First, I had to enter some bogus information about myself like what's your name and your address? Mm-hmm okay John Holden here we go

2:17:40 Man, I had some other address saved in my browser. Someone else's...I have no idea who it was and then I click through and it says USDC a stablecoin! Because I was gonna donate $200 in Bitcoin and then talk about myself. Yeah that is what you say you would've donated the dollar No, no. I wanted to make sure it showed up so i could say look we can do Bitcoin. I'm gonna talk to Jay and think there's a solution because people want us their bitcoin. They do. And I know that Catherine in Thailand... She wants to send us the full bitcoin! Yeah she's yeah Bitcoin granny. I had John's attention. Full bitcoin? Yeah and she'll get more than a bag of weed out of it

CHAPTER 38 / 54 Discussion

Executive Producer Credits, Abacus vs Slide Rule, and LLM Theory

New executive producers are acknowledged, followed by a technical discussion on the educational benefits of the abacus over the slide rule. A producer's note explores the linguistic bedrock of Large Language Models (LLMs) and the potential for user-specific training to reduce "hallucinations."

executive producer· abacus· slide rule· llm· large language models· intel

2:18:33 So we'd like to start with our executive and associate executive producers. That means you have donated $200 or above, that you get an associate executive producer credit... an actual Hollywood credit. How do I, why? Because you can use this... Why?! Yes! I'm doing hypophora It's a real Hollywood credit Why because you can open up and IMDB account if you don't have one And list it as your credit there because it is valid and accepted by the show business community and we'll read your note And if you send us $300 or above to support the value you receive from the show, you will get an executive producer credit which again is just as valid as anything from Show Business Land and we will read your note. We started off with... Now it's that we didn't hear from him for a while and now he's back as a regular synonymous of Dogpatch in Lower Slobovia

2:19:29 comes in once again with $2,254. We have no idea what the number means it is some kind of codes who always you double counted it I hope make sure that we don't know yeah we always double can mess up some operation somewhere and he kicks off the wrong bridge got blown out oh no! And he kicks off a slew of notes that are just too long Well, the last yes all the notes are too long today and I want to discoriate people. His note is too long but it makes up for their very short note he wrote last time so i think it evens out from seronomous of dog patch and loris lobovia the producer value is immeasurable my thanks to all of you for your support and insight john given your background how could you discuss an abacus instead of the slide rule? Yes well here's the reason

2:20:21 The abacus, which is a great product. I have a grandson named Theo who's learning math and it turns out that using an abacus helps you do memorization math whereas the slide rule never does so by showing him how to use the abacus which i have done It will help him in his future mathematical within his own brain capabilities That's why! The kid's gonna be a genius Does he go around cursing like you do? Actually, he doesn't curse. Most kids don't curse until they meet you. Unless their parents do it too much. Until they meet grandpa! Now he says I would appreciate producers insights into LLMs and sorry if this is long large language models here we go

2:21:11 The evolution from human to electronic computers advanced using proven mathematical formula and with more data sets increasing levels of statistical certainty to predict the mathematical outcome and in time the next word or series of words. Unlike mathematical models, the underlying bedrock of LLMs is the highly dynamic English language. Sources include the most published reference books as different as The Holy Quran translated, many versions of The Bible translated, The Torah translated, Shakespeare, Dr. Seuss, Agatha Christie, J.K Rowling's Daniel Steele and J.R.R Tolkien

2:21:49 Tolkien, which as the most published would start with greater weighting. Sources like X Facebook TikTok SMS messages and email provide an ever-shifting source data on which LLMs rely evolving definitions and memes complicate these dynamic shifts he's setting us up here my question is Why could so-called hallucinations be the result of poor statistical outcomes based on divergent language styles in the reference data sets that because it can only predict probabilities of word order using English sentence rules assemble sentences that capture the most probable order?

2:22:26 Unlike quantitative models based on mathematics and statistics that are done generically, I expect LLM prediction error rate declines as the program identifies patterns from a specific user's language style suggesting successful LLMs will become user-specific rather than broad based solutions creating millions of unique LLMs so called training. I'm on board with that further quantitative models trace Precedents, permitting the use to uncover formula errors or flawed logic. LLMs because they are English language based lift from a broad array of word sources to develop its probability chain limiting user ability to trace sources and uncover what created the flawed outcome as already discussed on no agenda these programs can certainly pull data from copyright protected data without payment or attribution Can the publisher use blockchain to protect or allow the LLM to attribute?

2:23:23 Brother. Adam, as for future data sources over 1 million books are published in the US by large publishers and another 3 million per year are self-published books too many eggs to count Don't worry doge sizing hasn't found me I'm just busy no jingles No karma if you want to answer seronomous of dog patch and Lois Lobovia we will read your note if you donate $2254 I have no idea what to say to him Well, we have people out there that have heard this. They will probably re-listen to it and they can contribute to the discussion Yes I was thinking about something the other day though as they were talking about Intel being just a big coming turning into kind of

2:24:12 The progenitor of Intel is actually Shockley Semiconductors, which then evolved into Fairchild Semiconductors. Which then involved... Evolved into an Intel which then devolved into what it is today I have a chip in my collection the collection, THE collection Oh God! An Intel neural network chip that they brought out I believe it was in the 80s And this neural network chip, which is basically what kind of... I mean the neural networks are important to the use to large language models. It seems to me that Intel was onto this whole idea early in the game during the first iteration or not the first but last iteration we had in the 80's of artificial intelligence and then they dropped the ball completely and dropping the ball right there with those, that chip disappearing off the face of the earth except my collection had one

2:35:44 A question for Adam. After your recent appearance on Joe Rogan, I went back and listened to your episode from five years ago! One thing stood out to me which is also why I donated my husband struggles with several with severe tinnitus. Tinnitus actually is the correct pronunciation. Well everyone pronounces it tin-nitis. It's tinnitus but I'm just telling you well I am pronouncing a tin-nitis okay But tinnitus, tinnitus... it's harder to say actually. And like you mentioned with your wife often asks people to repeat themselves hello You talked highly about these advanced hearing aids and

2:36:23 that could be tuned into specific voices which sounded extremely helpful. As we're aware, it doesn't fix tinnitus... We're looking into the... as a laugh tale! We are looking to that option for him for better his hearing, too better his hearing but I couldn't find that brand on the show notes Not sure if you're allowed to share. What? But any info or suggestions even via email would be greatly appreciated also a shout out to our great friends Kristen and Nick while we are counting the days down to go to Alaska this summer please play their favorite jingle Trump they're eating the cats, they're eating the dogs that's actually they're eating the dogs no she said we have both We have there eating the cats are eating the dog yes we do

NYC Congestion Tolls, Kathy Hochul, and Sean Duffy

The Trump administration revoked approval for New York City's congestion toll plan, prompting a "sovereign identity" defense from Governor Kathy Hochul. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy stated the plan was a "slap in the face" to working-class Americans and small businesses.

congestion pricing· manhattan· kathy hochul· sean duffy· department of transportation· biden

2:47:20 So I have a WTF clip that, I'd like you to see if you can spot the anomaly in this NTD clip about the New York City tariffs. You know they have these tolls within the city as congestion rules? Yeah it's not at all but it's a congestion area yeah congestion fee I guess. Tell me if you can find discrepancy in this, like what's wrong with this picture NYC toll? Do you want me to stop it when I hear it or just let it roll and say afterwards. No, it's not that long The Transportation Department under President Trump has revoked its approval of New York City's congestion toll It charges drivers entering Manhattan below 60th Street Here is how New York Governor Kathy Hochul responded In case you don't know New Yorkers we're in a fight We do not back down Not now, not ever

2:48:11 I don't care if you love congestion pricing or hate it. This is an attack on our sovereign identity, our independence from Washington. The Department of Transportation gave approval to the program under the Biden administration in late 2024. The Trump administration says it's terminating the program for two reasons one, the congestion toll provides no toll free option for drivers And two, the toll aims to raise revenue for public transit rather than reduce congestion. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said in a statement quote New York State's congestion pricing plan is a slap in the face to working-class Americans and small business owners it impedes the flow of commerce into New York by increasing costs for trucks which in turn could make goods more expensive for consumers

2:49:00 Trump commented on the termination quote congestion pricing is dead Manhattan and all of New York is saved New York's transit and bridge authorities immediately filed a lawsuit challenging the decision They accused the Trump administration of targeting the congestion toll for quote blatantly political reasons okay so first of all, I would say that the that the sovereign identity from Washington, D.C., was kind of weird but I think the all entry into Manhattan below 60th Street isn't that all entry into Manhattan below 60th Street? Well a lot of it there's some up north you can get in The discrepancy in this report is the following Why did they send it to the Department of Transportation under Biden for approval in the first place

2:49:55 When Trump just reversed the approval, how come it wasn't a problem with their sovereignty back when they gave it to the Biden administration to approve in the first place? Now that is disapproved. Oh all of a sudden its'a big stink! Probably because they were getting some of that sweet green money for doing it Yeah there was something wrong That's what I'm thinking Two quickies for you The first one looks like It's the end of an era John Pig butchering is coming to an end. Thailand is cracking down on cyber scam networks run from labor camps across its border with Myanmar officials have arrested suspected ringleaders and tried cutting power to the compounds where thousands of people are made to work and live this video shows some of the foreigners being freed after having been trafficked to the facilities in

They arrested a 15 and 16 year old teenager girl now Spring Ranch ISD police chief Larry Bainbridge says it become aware of the threat yesterday thanks to a source. Bainbridge says he arrested a sixteen-year-old girl she has since been charged with third degree felony terroristic threat

We have also reached out to Spring Branch ISD, to the district.

2:53:16 A 15, 16 year old girl with a grand scheme to set up pipe bombs all over the place and start shooting kids? Yeah. That sounds logical. These damn 15-year olds are all that way! I wonder what SSRIs they were taking... Oh how about this How about the I got it one talk clip? Talk, talk. I knew it! I knew he was gonna come in with a talk. I knew it somehow I knew it Here's a woman is a woman who's divorcing her husband Now first of all this woman looks like she's 17 She might be 20 but she's married and she's divorcing her husband over an incident that happened at the Super Bowl

2:54:06 And she's fed up with this guy because he booed Taylor Swift. I'm divorcing my husband because he boo'd Taylor Swift at the Super Bowl and i still don't think he believes me to be honest but, He might want to start cause' I just filed my paperwork in the courthouse and you can see right here The date of separation is this year's super bowl. Im not just doing this Because of the action of booing im doing it because everything that it represents in our relationship. I have loved Taylor Allison Swift since i was 12 years old, my husband even likes her too like he'll put on her music when we're cooking together He has a favorite song It's Girl at Home but we were at the Super Bowl and me him and five of his buddies And when they put Taylor up on the Jumbotron all of his buddies started booing and my husband joined in

2:54:45 That just tells me everything I need to know about that man because he didn't care that that would hurt my feelings He just wanted to fit in with his boys. He didn't even care that's not even how we actually feel He just like wanted a look cool, I guess and and that's not a man That's a boy And when you see that You can't really unsee it. So I'm divorcing him thankfully have a prenup, I'll be retaining all my assets as well as the assets that I inherited with peace and love he probably will not be returning to the Super Bowl anytime soon so that's one less boomer for you Taylor! I love you He should divorce her for the up-talking...to be quite blunt about it Well he dodged a bullet the way I see it Yeah no kidding Midas Touch Network just released another episode

CHAPTER 47 / 54 Discussion

Bird Flu, Egg Prices, and Rent-a-Chicken

As egg prices soar due to bird flu outbreaks, some New York City stores have begun selling "Lucy eggs" in small bundles. The hosts discuss the concept of "rent-a-chicken" services as a potential solution for backyard egg production.

2:55:30 They probably released two during the show. Actually, yes they had released one two hours ago and three hours ago. Titles Bark Like a Dog Mike Morning Collapse and Take It to The Streets. The Midas touch man those guys are on fire! Yeah they're packing them in. They're on fire I tell you! The Everlasting Bird Flu Continues To Hurt Everybody And we are now resorting to... Lucy eggs. The White House is working on a plan to control the bird flu as egg prices soar to record levels, they expect to present it to President Trump in the coming days that average cost for a dozen of eggs has jumped to $4 and 95 cents that's 50% more than a year ago and prices are expected to increase by another 20%. A Trump official slammed the Biden administration response to the outbreak

2:56:29 The Biden plan was to just, you know kill chickens. And they spent billions of dollars just randomly killing chickens within a perimeter where they found a sick chicken Some New York City stores are selling eggs in bundles of three They're calling them Lucy Eggs similar to how they sell Lucy cigarettes Oh man! I wonder what 3 eggs cost in New York? I don't know probably $3 Probably 10 bucks Yeah ten bucks for the three Is Mimi not worried about her chickens catching the bird flu? She hasn't got any chickens. I thought she had chickens, but she wrote a whole book about having chickens with too many eggs! Yeah that's because she got fed up with chickens It's too bad she doesn't have chickens because after The Port Angeles Podcast studio she could have had Port Angeles rent-a-chicken Yes to rent the chicken is not a bad idea it's happening people are renting their chickens out I know They're doing virtually you don't even have to have the chicken at the house

2:57:30 Oh, that's interesting. Yes virtual rental so when the chicken lays an egg most chickens backyard chickens lay about one egg every day and a half That's how it works! That's a great idea Yeah And then you go pick up your go to the guys get the chickens You say what I'd what did old Lucy latest last week? Uh-huh It was raining in a lot like for example Jay has a bunch of chickens yeah Then when it rains a lot that chickens don't do anything they just sit around grousing Then they start laying again. And grousing! Do they go like this? Yeah, they lay exactly like that is what they do. Oh, I gotta lay another... That's a great idea if you have chickens You should be doing rent-a-chicken. You get a webcam or body cam A chicken cam, chicken cam

2:58:18 You can watch... Yeah, and the chicken. Every time it lays an egg that egg now belongs to you That's a great idea! American ingenuity! We're the best. We are. Never ceases to amaze Go Merica Alright, well I got a couple of the sad stories are the dead hostages. Oh that's not a way to end the show? We're not ending this show we were getting to the dead hostages Okay Well i could do the buyout, I've got a series of clips on the fed buy out but I think you're running out of time Alright, dead hostages here from NPR. Wait wait there's a couple different ones I got the first one is the NPR dead hostages and PR then I got the sad hostage story which will back it up Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warns that tomorrow will be a very difficult day for the state of Israel

CHAPTER 48 / 54 Discussion

Gaza Hostages, Oded Lifshitz, and Sheryl Crow

The bodies of four hostages, including peace activist Oded Lifshitz, are expected to be released from Gaza. In a separate story, singer Sheryl Crow is criticized for a video claiming she is donating her Tesla to NPR as a protest against Elon Musk.

2:59:10 Tomorrow is when the bodies of four hostages held by Hamas are expected to be released from Gaza. Netanyahu says their families have been notified six living hostages are expected to be released Saturday as part of Israel's ceasefire with Hamas All right, very very sad. Well that was you know it's just like a dumb this is why they haven't all hell hasn't broken loose because I think they're all rest of the hostages are all dead but here's The Sad Hostage story This is one of the dead hostages and if you listen carefully to this story This wasn't a person that was a dad now that with his wife they were

2:59:49 kind of Palestinian sympathizers. The whole story doesn't make any sense unless the Palestinians are just ogres. The Hamas terrorist group provided the name of one of the deceased hostages set to be released on Thursday his name is Oded Lifshitz He and his wife were peace activists, and regularly transported patients from Gaza to receive medical treatment in hospitals in Israel. However they were both taken hostage during the October 7th terrorist attack His wife was released during the first ceasefire in October 2023 She said this soon after she was released from Hamas captivity

3:00:26 I thank you for coming to hear my tragedy and that of all my friends. It was hard, and I hope we get through it." Their children previously shared their thoughts on the tragic situation before finding out that their father had died in Hamas captivity. My father and mother were kidnapped on 7th October. My mother released, but my father is still inside. All right, I said the baffling to me why these guys are back and forth and back and forth. They're known to the Palestinians Why would they be all of a sudden hostages? It's no sense. I don't know

3:01:06 All right, I'm gonna lighten the mood a little bit. Yeah bring it up a notch. Singer Sheryl Crow is getting rid of her Tesla The singer-songwriter posting a video to Instagram waving goodbye to her Tesla as it's taken away on flatbed In the post she says she's protesting against Elon Musk's recent work with the Trump administration The money that she's making by selling that Tesla She says she'll be donating it to NPR Crow has been a longtime advocate for environmental causes Donating it to NPR. Well, that's a waste! Analysts look at this picture and say that was the Tesla being taken in for service based on the fact that the tree was just turning autumn colors Oh really? So there wasn't old very old video It's an old video she decided to post as though she's given away the Tesla to give them money to NPR At least... That's one analysis You know I was looking at this Kennedy Center protest

CHAPTER 49 / 54 Discussion

Kennedy Center Board, Drag Protests, and LGBTQ Arts

Donald Trump dismissed the board of the Kennedy Center and banned drag shows at the venue, leading to protests in Washington, D.C. The hosts suggest that many protesters are professional performers concerned about their future employment opportunities.

kennedy center· donald trump· drag shows· lgbtq· washington dc· protests

3:02:00 You heard about this. So it's actually the president does have the right under actual law to dismiss the entire board of The Kennedy Center and then he put in a new board, and then the board of course selected him as chairman of the board And he said yeah okay that's great we're gonna make The Kennedy Center great again no more drag shows and no more LGBTQ. What I noticed you'll hear it in this clip is that a lot of, including the... was it Milwaukee that had all the trans people show up at the city council meeting? I think it was Milwaukee wasn't it. Oh you're talking about where they had the blue haired girl and all the rest of them? Yeah That was Worcester Massachusetts

3:02:51 I've noticed that a lot of the people complaining, including because I looked at that whole video went back and looked again. These are all drag performers! They're all performers And everyone who showed up at this half-mile walk protest, they're all drag show performers. So yeah no wonder they're upset about LGBTQ whatever because they have to find other lines of work The drag time story hour, all that was it was a good gig. Yes Phoebe I yes i know It's...I can't help but its blue hair Tonight this group walked half a mile from Washington Circle right here to the Kennedy Center Their message they're not going anywhere Armed with passion and bubbles

3:03:42 And a strong message for the president. Members and allies of the LGBTQ plus community made their way from Washington Circle Thursday night, pausing of course... For much needed dance breaks before arriving at the Kennedy Center loud and proud. We're here because Donald Trump In typical Trump fashion has done some shady maneuvering to get rid of the board at the Kennedy Center and essentially install himself as dictator of the arts. President Trump has said moving forward, drag shows will be a no-go at the Kennedy Center. We're not gonna let people steal our joy. Tara Hoot, a popular drag queen in the district believes she

3:04:19 should be board president. Why not me? I'm the people's princess, darlings and the Kennedy Center is a place for everyone Thursday night she and others voiced their frustrations with the way the President has portrayed this community. Any center has always been a home for everybody and now it won't be and I you know I hope there's somebody who will listen to us and try and stop it they say they wish the president would be more understanding. I wish he understood that we are more than what he tries to make us be. That at the end of the day, we are not any sexual beings that drag is for everyone and drag his love and that's what we're here to drive until then they're standing strong on their message We will survive him. That's what I would tell him that we're not going anywhere

3:05:03 and that we're not going back in the closet. It doesn't end here, this is just the beginning darling I mean it's not even been a month we're all just trying to get our sea legs and see what's up and where we're going And the vision is clear We are here to rise up and say No More! I truly believe that a lot of these people showing up at city council meetings and protesting everywhere they are worried about their vocation more than anything This was really eye opening because all you know The blue haired girl The one with the glitter for a beard, all performers. I don't know if they were all performers? Yeah! I think a lot of them are

CHAPTER 50 / 54 Discussion

Zizzian Cult, Trans Maoism, and Effective Altruism

A group known as the "Zizzian Cult," led by Jack LaSota, has been linked to murders in California and Vermont. The group, consisting largely of transgender tech workers, follows a philosophy of "radical veganism" and a fear of the AI singularity, stemming from the "effective altruism" movement.

zizzian· cult· jack lasota· effective altruism· ai· radical veganism

3:05:45 And then definitely more than one here's my final story. This is from the trans Maoism files I finally found a story short enough and concise enough, and it isn't bit of an eye-opener This is about the Zizian have you been tracking this story people keep emailing all the murderers yeah the zizion's Yeah Yeah, I have actually but haven't gotten any clips for it. Here it is finally we have a no agenda worthy Zizian's clip Jack LaSota who identifies as a woman Michelle Zico and Daniel Blank they face trespassing in handgun charges here Maryland all three were arrested Sunday in Frostburg now on Sunday a person reported to police that three suspicious people parked their box trucks at

3:06:28 on his property. They asked to camp there for a month, that's how deputies managed to arrest him. Now Lasoda whose middle name is Zizz is believed to be the leader of what you call their The Zizzian Cult today Lasoda told the judge that she quote has done nothing wrong and has to be released prosecutors say Lasoda has faked her own death in the past police and other states say that she may have been involved in the stabbing over landlord and the murder of her parents Today, the judge deemed her a flight risk and denied bail. Now the cult's believed to be connected to two California murders Most recently, the group is believed to behind the murder of a border patrol agent in Vermont And the cult is formed from followers of LaSota's blog It's consisting mostly transgender tech workers who subscribe to what's called radical veganism it's a philosophy of so-called

3:07:20 rationalism and a fear of quote singularity this is the idea that one day AI may advance to the point where it turns on humans. This is an outgrowth of all those those anti-AI people! That would include you? No, what was it called again... why can't I remember the name now yeah okay I don't remember it at all. That's where a lot of those open AI people came from initially Yeah, open AI guys they were part of the cult and still are yeah, and so clearly Somebody in the troll room should have come up with it by now They shouldn't no they haven't which is very disappointing Not altruism

3:08:13 Not the... effective altruism. Yeah, there you go thank you. Effective altruism I remember that. Thank You Max Maximilian yes effective also they've turned violent They've turned violent and we have to be careful about this it could be more of them hiding behind any bush Is that all you got? No, I got... no. Well for the purposes of this show, I get the stuff is not gonna carry over much. Uh... No, I think we're good! You're good? We're good everybody's good.

3:19:29 Okay, today's tip is RTV silicone. RTV silicone? Okay. RTV silicone it's an interesting product Mimi used... here's how it came about this discovery This RTV silicone Is a room temperature vulcanizing silicone It vulcanizes at room temperature You have to wait days and days and days for it to do it But it doesn't here's what happened Everybody in this family seems to use the Blendtec blenders. The Blendtec blenders are done by that guy- Very expensive, Will It Blend was their tagline? Yeah, Will It Blend guys. So these blenders which have like 20 or 30 horse... I don't know what the horsepower is but they'll grind up anything and Mimi has one she picked it up used from somebody

3:20:23 And the problem is with the way, the engineering on these things requires that the container, the grinding container has all of the mechanism inside and it has a gasket that went out. So she tried to vulcanizing silicone to fix it and it turns out to work! Then she used this vulcanizing silicone to patch some holes in various things and it works like a champ Now the brand she's using is, what's the name of this? So could you give me some other examples of uses besides a $900 blender. Say you have a leaky hose. A leaky hose!

3:21:14 Anything that you could use, vulcanized... You know the guy that comes on TV and he slaps them? He's like slap it on the boat. It's that kind of stuff. The trolls think I said leaky hose.

This won't work on them So American Sealance is the one that she's using ASI 502 high-performance 100% RTV silicone Whoa American sealants and yay they have it on Amazon Could you patch a hole in your boat with it do you think?

Outro, Mere Mortals, and Media Deconstruction Mix

The episode concludes with a preview of the "Mere Mortals" book review podcast and a high-energy audio mix deconstructing recent media narratives. The mix features clips regarding Elon Musk, political "fascism" rhetoric, and the "Hitler is back" media trope.

3:22:52 Value for value is how we survive, how we'll be on the air for another four more years. To be exact three years and ten months and a week or so Of course will be back Sunday with more of your media deconstruction We'll wade through it all for you It's what we do as a public service End of show mixes from Sir Michael Anthony, Mr. M and two from Professor Jay Jones from China And up next on No Agenda Stream or Troll Room dot IO if you want to hang around your modern podcast app We have from down under the mere mortals book reviews The question they pose is does Australia deserve its prosperity? Well there's a question of the week for ya

3:23:38 Coming to you from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in Fredericksburg, Texas. In the morning everybody I'm Adam Curry and from northern Silicon Valley where there's a wood chipper outside that stopped Luckily, otherwise I'd be nuts. I think Elon is the real Fouchiephile. He's my biggest fan apparently! But uh, where are those Fouchiefiles Elon? It's been like a month...I ain't getting any younger and i gotta tell ya, I'm not scared one bit. I'm rich, I'm powerful Not to mention I'm 82 years young Whatever you think I did, I already got away with it

3:24:34 I mean, uh...I can explain everything. I won't! But I can and that's what counts Anyway, i'm not really retired so i'll see yous around stay safe suckers What? Bro, what are you talking about man?

3:25:16 And I am fighting for you! And I will not stop. I will not stop today, and I will not stop tomorrow You are loved! YOU MATTER! YOU BELONG HERE!

3:25:58 Shut up! Beep, beep, beep. Allow me to sum up this week's news. Hitler is back! Hitler... Hitler is back everybody! How dare you? Let me take you back to 1939. Do you think Donald Trump did it? is a fascist. Yes, I do. Hitler is back! 21% of Gen Z Americans think Adolf Hitler had some good ideas. Actual American Nazis... It's a Nazi rally! How dare you? Donald Trump has said he would terminate the Constitution of the United States. praising Adolf Hitler saying Adolf Hitler did some good things. Certainly falls into the general definition of fascists. It's perfect to celebrate the rise of Nazism that Donald Trump would invoke Adolph Hitler

3:26:49 How is that casting aspersions? This is next level QAnon stuff. They'll say, you know Trump supporters have set off a dirty bomb in Philadelphia. They're counting on us to help him win! They're counting on us to propagate their clips! Vowed to be dictator on day one...
