About this episode

President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance confronted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in a televised Oval Office meeting that signaled a sharp pivot toward a deal-based foreign policy. The encounter featured direct challenges to Zelensky’s peace plans and public criticism of his diplomatic conduct, while Senator Marco Rubio and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent explored securing Ukraine’s mineral rights as collateral for continued American taxpayer aid.

In London, Prime Minister Keir Starmer responded by hosting a summit to form a coalition of the willing, proposing British boots on the ground to fill the potential void left by shifting U.S. priorities. Meanwhile, the Department of Government Efficiency launched an investigation into an $18 million-per-month migrant shelter contract in Pecos, Texas, that allegedly sits empty. In Washington, Acting U.S. Attorney Ed Martin demoted senior prosecutors involved in January 6th cases, reassigning them to misdemeanor units as part of a broader departmental overhaul.

Hollywood legend Gene Hackman’s death in New Mexico sparked intense online speculation regarding his proximity to Jeffrey Epstein’s estate and a rumored client list. The Academy Awards prepared a $250,000 gift bag for nominees while the National Eating Disorder Association introduced the term Bigorexia to pathologize young men’s interest in physical fitness. John C. Dvorak and Adam Curry also knighted new members of the Round Table, including Sir Weegee the Famous and Sir Radar Rider.

Gene Hackman Death Conspiracy, Epstein Client List Claims

A viral X-post falsely attributed to Hollywood legend Gene Hackman claimed he possessed the Jeffrey Epstein client list and intended to expose Bill Clinton before his death. Reports indicate Hackman was found dead in his New Mexico home, leading to online speculation regarding his proximity to Epstein's property. The narrative is complicated by recent botched document releases from Florida official Pam Bondi.

00:00 The dog ate the pills. And broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region Number 6. In the morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry and for Northern Silicon Valley where everyone's asking do you have Oscar fever? I'm John C. Dvorak. It's Crackpot & Buzzkill! Not almost forgotten about Oscars... it's tonight that's right forgot about it. I'm sure there will be an extended dead segment for Gene Hackman

00:42 Who as you know was killed because he was about to expose the Epstein files. I know It's actually that I she came up. Oh, yeah. Oh it's pathetic this thesis. Oh, yeah No run no better he even put it on X yes He put it on X he said I'm going to expose the Epstein files of course the font looked a little wonky But that just may be You know that guy they tweets are the best you know that guy who is he? He's a British guy. He's kind of like Stu Peters type dude and

01:19 And he did a 20 minute ex post on it. Oh yes, this is what happened! I don't... that guy.. I hope he gets paid because... The Stu Peters guy? No it's not the Stu Peters guy It's um... some other dude Come on, showroom you can help Adam here He's thinking of someone You must know who it is Yeah I can't remember who the guy is I dunno who are you talking about Well there's... when you hear him People are... Piers Morgan People have sent you links from this guy and you're always like, don't you ever dare send us that again. Oh that guy who has the who's always talking sideways to the camera? Yeah exactly see I knew he'd know who was talking about that guy yeah that guy He is all over it. He is the worst. But just wonder if does he have ad money or... he's got to have something. Here Gene Hackman x-post

02:16 On February 24th, makes nothing but sense. I'm ready to corroborate everything in the Epstein client list and to put Bill Clinton and others in prison if it's the last thing I do." And then... Here this is the guy here he is. The news hits like a gut punch this week! That guy. Gene Hackman, the old school Hollywood legend of the French connection Unforgiven and Superman gone Gone does that guy have a lopsided face? Why doesn't he face the camera? He might always cocked one way or the other it's never like looking at at the cameras like looking over to the side and in this askance What is that? What is that style?

03:06 Something is off. Way off, yes. And the media are barely scratching the surface Why would they? Here's what the media won't tell you Okay! Gene Hackman wasn't some retired millionaire kicking back in New Mexico No He was neighbors with Jeffrey Epstein Oh! Yes that's Epstein Well I mean his timing is a bit off because Pam Bondi's botched release has been kind of snowed under by other things taking place in Washington. Just on that for a moment, how does... On Bondi or...? No, on Bondi! How does that? She had influencers and gave them all binders with old bunk. It's the same old stuff yeah But what how does that even happen I don't understand. That's a huge botch

CHAPTER 02 / 47 Discussion

Joe Biden Deposition Tapes, DOJ Transparency Dispute

Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton is pressuring the Trump administration to release audio recordings of Joe Biden’s interview with the special counsel. While a transcript was previously released, critics argue it was edited to obscure Biden's cognitive state. The Justice Department has requested until May 20th to determine its position on releasing the full audio files.

joe biden· tom fitton· justice department· special counsel· deposition

04:02 Who? Well, someone tried to screw her or tried to screw... Oh that's what she claims. I mean did she not look at the binders?! Let me just double check for a second before i hand out these BINDERS! Of course. I have a clip of something that was similar to this kind of thing, it seems to be i think a theme... Yeah the b- This Tom Fitton thing! Uh what about Tom Fitton? I have this new series of clips called BTS Behind The Scenes People bitching about you know the promises not being kept or whatever Listen, this is similar to the Bondi thing. Let me see I'm looking for behind... Oh here it is! BTSC. I got you, I got you And then of course we have to pressure the Trump administration because as I said there are some agents You know they just can't help but move slowly

04:48 And you may recall that Joe Biden was interviewed by the special counsel and the special counsel released a transcript that was edited as we uncovered. The transcript wasn't enough in our view, there was an audio tape and then should have been released of Joe Biden And so what happened is that we sued and there's, the Biden people came up with 60 different reasons. I'm exaggerating obviously to withhold this information from us. And so the court just a week or so ago asked the Trump Justice Department hey- Hey! There's a new boss in town What's your position on this? And rather than just say oh we want to release the tapes they said well we need till May 20th to figure out what to do

05:33 That's frustrating, isn't it? Wait a minute. What tapes... Do you remember when Biden gave the deposition to the investigator who went before Congress and said well that guy is such a dumb old man that there is no way we can convict him so we're going let it slide We can't put him on the stand he's too feeble I think something like that yes I do remember And then they said, well let's listen to the tapes because they figured the tapes if you could hear what Biden was doing that it would have kept him from getting reelected because he was still in the running. And of course it happened that way anyway, but beside the point they wanted to hear these tapes I said no we'll give you a transcript instead and the transcript was edited. So they started working on getting the tapes released and now that Trump got in they figure well here We go! We get to listen to the tapes at least we get to listen to the tapes...and No. Yeah so there's a lot of blockage. It seemed like it. Where is he? I was listening to Joe Rogan talking to Elon Musk

CHAPTER 03 / 47 Discussion

Pam Bondi Performance, Jesse Watters Appearance Criticism

Pam Bondi faces criticism for her recent appearance on Jesse Watters' program, where she allegedly failed to deliver on promises regarding the release of Epstein-related files. The discussion focuses on her effectiveness as a public official and her frequent media presence. Commentary includes remarks on her appearance and her status as a high-profile figure within the Republican media sphere.

06:40 Because he had Elon back on, which makes no sense. Yes I saw parts of that was good Yeah and well what Elon said as well imagine that you know your everyone hates you and you're going in And then everyone is working against you a guess but this it's still inexcusable She lied on Jesse waters. I'm just gonna hold onto that I'm happy to change my opinion on Pam Bonnie But right now she is nil-nil. She's what? Nil-Nil You mean like a soccer game? Yes, exactly. Nil! She has nil. Negative one. This was not good. That's not your first out of the gate here we go everybody, the Epstein files are gonna drop! Well it was her fault Yes Yeah it was bad Instead of being a hot shot on Jessie Waters and she gets on the show as much as she wants to yeah because Jessie has her number they text well what Jesse has her yes he has her text number but Jesse always...Jesse has a very his story is not just about his producers have a very good sense

07:43 Photogeneity or actually telegeneity they bring on a lot of pretty women and more than the other shows in general You're telling me that Pam Bondi was a DEI hire because she's pretty Yeah, actually not you think in those terms. Yeah, I mean she's 60 so she you know She's held up a look. She's my age 60 yeah, really? Oh wait, she you can look her up 59 maybe but she's basically 60 and She Yeah, 59 yeah, she is very telegenic yes

08:23 I don't know how she looks like in person. I guess she doesn't look that good, but... No we know because our producer said she looks like Merle Haggard in a wig so yeah. But that's the thing about it you're either you're telegenic or I mean you can be all beautiful and different ways but... It's hard to get out of my head. You know? Merle Haggard in a wig is tough man this is not good So I'm sure that I mean you and I never speak During the week maybe an email of something innocuous. Maybe you forward something funny rarely rarely I'm sure we probably had the same idea for our deconstruction of what took place in the Oval Office But this morning, we got breaking news breaking news and I mean I have clips of all the

CHAPTER 04 / 47 Discussion

Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky Oval Office Confrontation

President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance engaged in a tense, televised meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in the Oval Office. Trump mocked Zelensky's attire, while Vance challenged the Ukrainian leader on the feasibility of his peace plans. The encounter, described by some as "great television," signaled a significant shift in U.S.-Ukraine relations and a move toward a "deal-based" foreign policy.

donald trump· volodymyr zelensky· jd vance· oval office· diplomatic protocol

09:05 the meetings that went on and Zelensky in the UK, we can back into it but I think what UK Prime Minister Starmer did this morning kind of sums up what we both thought was about to happen. Would you agree? I'm not sure but probably...I'm guessing because you saw the newsletter I have a lot of my thoughts in there. A lot of it is based on some input I got locally from Lib Joe's various... Well, stop! Stop this show! What did the Lib Joe...? Not the normal Lib Joes we get different... Wait you have new Lib Joes?

09:45 Well, one Libjo is a temp. What do you mean a temp? Working at the Washington Post? He's an Uber driver! Hey, Uber drivers know what they're talking about. The uber drivers are very good information. Yeah I don't know... And um.. The other one is an old friend of mine who's big shot Big shot Who was also liberal In the publishing world by any chance Yes in the publishing world Alright then I have thoughts yes that's good That's a qualified source. But it still knee-jerk Democrat, I think it was largely expressed...I do have a clip from the best exemplification of this is The Twerp came on one of the shows We have the same clips! You have The Twerp? Yeah, hold on a second. I have two clips by The Twerp

10:39 She was on, the twerp was on with... She's the worst this woman. But she exemplifies what these people are thinking Well the interesting thing and I'll play the clip Now we're beating around the bush or the producers are going What the hell of these guys? Who is the twerp? Well first of all I think we both agree that what The President and Vice President did Was predetermine they were going to undress this guy That's what it seemed like to me. Here is the one piece of evidence when I got into an argument with the publisher, his comeback was kind of...I couldn't beat this comeback he says

11:23 Oh really? Well then where was the signing table, why didn't they just open up the press conference at the signing table with a document right in front of them saying that's what they always do. There is always this signing table so that you can sign the deal and it's... What was the point of this rest of this crap? Where's the signing table? The signing table. I'm, oh, we're on the signing table." Well no because they knew that Zelensky wasn't going to sign so they were like okay well we'll bring you into the Oval Office and for me the clue was the journalist in the blue suit jacket I love that guy because we have that clip too. Yeah, I don't know who okay now We're now we've created a puzzle for the audience Oh, let me play the blue jacket guy well wait Let's start okay? Well this is the front door. I'm gonna explain to the people out there listening

12:14 The two of us are beating around the bush because neither one of us know exactly how we should start this discussion I think we I think we start with the blue suit go to the twerp and then start well if you're gonna start with the blues I think it should predate that and go to Trump at in the greeting where he Ridicules yes, you for not wearing a suit at the beginning. Do we have that clip? Do you have that one? I didn't click that what I thought you would have it either the reason why well so yeah So as Alinsky rolls up in the car and president late and President Trump is there to greet him. He says, oh look he dressed up! That was pretty much it was like an eight second clip but this guy I don't know who he works for but the- he was left of the president The president turns to him has to swivel his all the way around The guy has some dumb question first And then the president says Oh you had a second question? that's felt set up to me especially because

13:07 Who is this guy in the blue suit? That would not have been a good situation. What was your second question for President Zelensky? Why don't you wear a suit I will wear a costume after this war is finished. Maybe something like yours. Yes, maybe some something better I don't know we will see maybe something cheaper than yeah Thank you Now the way I see that that guy was it was a shill It was his the entire point was to rile up Zelensky which he did because if you let them and

14:02 If you listen to what Zelensky's saying, he is like oh maybe I won't wear one like that. Maybe it'll be cheaper blah blah blah. So he was already a little bit annoyed. Trump afterwards complimented the guy. He made some comment about the question Good job! Good job Jeeves And it was yes this looked like a staged event and uh... is somewhat baffling, and I think we can try to analyze this was the fact that Rubio who was not given a part in the play and didn't have any lines so he didn't get scale

CHAPTER 05 / 47 Discussion

Marco Rubio and Scott Bessent Ukraine Negotiations

Senator Marco Rubio and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent have been involved in preliminary discussions regarding Ukraine's mineral rights as a form of security guarantee. Bessent previously traveled to Ukraine to initiate a deal that reportedly fell through. The strategy involves creating a joint venture where the U.S. has a vested economic interest in Ukraine's security to ensure the repayment of taxpayer aid.

marco rubio· scott bessent· ukraine· mineral rights· security guarantees

14:43 He sat there in a grumpy, trying to just in a grump mode. He had one he had one light did they gave him one throwaway line? He had one line I don't remember yet what was his line it was a throwaway line But if we okay let's just step back for second because everything that happened is was pre-told by Rubio in the Pixie Girl interview Catherine Herring. Right, which we played last couple shows I'm going to play that part again so you can hear it because now in context of what took place like wow you hear everything and I have to mention as an aside Have you seen the size of Marco Rubio's ears?

15:22 I haven't noticed. They are like, they're bigger than Granholm's saucers. Go look at a picture and you'll go wow as i play this clip! President Zelensky and in some case and rightfully so look number one Joe Biden had frustrations with Zelensky people shouldn't forget it There are newspaper articles out there about how he cursed at him in a phone call I said this clip resurfaced and it resurfaced an old clip from MSNBC And people on X are going oh they're trying to hide this. It wasn't all that hidden." the vice president and I, the two three of us. And we discussed this issue about the mineral rights so we explained to them look we want to be a joint venture with you not because were trying to steal from your country but because we think that's actually security guarantee if where your partner in an important economic endeavor We get to get paid back some other money the taxpayers have given close to 200 billion dollars and it also now we have a vested interest in the security Ukraine alright so thats exactly what would you even said at the time

16:37 And so all of this was known. They didn't like the guy, that the guy was irritating them. I should bring in one extra dimension—I don't have the clip of it but Scott Besson came on with Laura Ingraham from Ingraham and Besson who is secretary of the treasury i think he who met with Zelensky remember? He went over there by himself yeah yeah and then Zelensky wasn't there for him he was sleeping Well, Zelensky did meet with him after he woke up and they...and he said he was going to do a deal. He was going to do a deal then he say wasn't gonna do it. It was the that was the prelude to it turns out the prelude to Rubio and so in other words Besson went there tried to start that deal fell apart and after kind of a phony baloney discussion because he wasn't wouldn't have gone in the first place

CHAPTER 06 / 47 Discussion

Susan Rice Critique, Trump Alignment with Putin Claims

Former National Security Advisor Susan Rice criticized the Trump administration's treatment of President Zelensky, calling the Oval Office meeting a "setup" designed to humiliate Ukraine. Rice argued that Trump is attempting to hand European interests to Vladimir Putin. Trump countered these claims by stating he is not aligned with Putin but is focused on securing a deal for the United States and the world.

susan rice· vladimir putin· volodymyr zelensky· netflix· globalism

17:26 So, the second go-round seems to be Rubio and...so you have a double teamed with Rubio and the vice president. And then the third go round is now Trump, Rubio, and the vice president And that didn't work out. So would that so this was a yeah, so set up I'll play the twerp and Susan Rice correctly identifies that it was a setup But of course its because Putin Why does she come out of the woodwork all of a sudden you have to question this who does she work for now?

18:10 This is a good question. I was thinking about this too, which is why as out of the blue we haven't heard from this woman and for people out there we generally call her The Twerp because she's a very gnome-like little character who is who is a creep and small and a twerp, and she comes out of the blue here. I have no idea it's got to be the industrial complex she's not working for the USA that's for sure because in this clip you're gonna hear what comes up she's gonna say that this deal was not favorable to Ukraine so it was a bad deal

18:54 She is a research fellow at the School of International Service at American University. Yes, and as of 2018 she's been on the board of directors of Netflix it's probably how Obama probably got her in there and she's the director of domestic policy council whatever that is Another scam. Here we go, but let's step back and analyze what happened here I think there's no question that this was a setup you heard Donald Trump say at the end of that clip He played this is great television This was a set up Vladimir. I mean excuse me I love how she messes up for Lord Amir with Vladimir because she so used to saying Putin Putin putin this was a setup

19:41 It was on her mind. Oh yeah! I mean, excuse me... Vladimir Zelensky was compelled to agree to a horrible deal that would have sent Ukraine's minerals to the United States without any concrete security guarantee. How is it? It's a horrible deal for For who? Not for us. Whose side is she on? Well, we don't know! Probably on the side of the globalists in Europe. Guarantees... And yet because he was trying to improve a relationship with Donald Trump He came to Washington and came to the Oval Office and sat down for meeting hat-in-hand Hat in hand that's my favorite

20:26 There was no hat in hand. No, he was all riled up and soon after he got there the Vice President of the United States lit into him and started a confrontation now I've been in countless Oval Office meetings with heads of state presidents and vice presidents as national security advisors UN ambassador and another roles I can tell you that the vice president or the secretary of state, or anybody else. They don't jump in and hijack a conversation without the express blessing of the President United States. So JD Vance did that deliberately. Donald Trump knew what he was going to do and as he said at the end because he can't help himself this was a set up for the cameras it was a play to his base but above all its a play to Vladimir Putin

21:15 to Vladimir Putin and to try to humiliate Zelensky. But Zelensky didn't play along with the script, because Zelensky's got dignity and guts And Zelensky has people that he democratically represents. No, no, no! It's under martial law. There's almost been a year since they've had elections so... He couldn't sit there in silence as lies were being told about how the war was started whose responsibility It was, you know etc. etc. It happened during the administration that she was in 2014 That's how the war started And he tried to explain what is in fact the case So the best part of that interview I thought Was this 33 second clip which I will just share with you It was an effort to humiliate him

22:05 to scuttle the U.S.-Ukraine relationship so that Trump no longer feels any obligation to provide support and to hand US interests in Ukraine, and potentially Europe, to Putin on a silver platter? Why? That's a great question! No, it's not. And listen... Susan we're gonna unfreeze you I wanna play So the minute she says that's a great question the video freezes It was poetic. Here is the most truthful moment in 50 seconds The most truthful Trump moment in the Oval Office This is-I think this true Well if didn't align myself with both of them You'd never have a deal

22:52 You want me to say really terrible things about Putin and then say, hi Vladimir how are we doing on the deal? That doesn't work that way. I'm not aligned with Putin. I'm not aligned with anybody. I'm aligned with the United States of America and for the good of the world. And I want to get this thing over with. You see the hatred he's got for Putin, it is very tough for me to make a deal with that kind of hate. He has tremendous hatred and I understand that but I can tell you the other side isn't exactly in love with him either So its not a question of alignment. Im aligned with the world. I wanna get things set. Im aligned with Europe. I wanna see if we can get this thing done

23:36 You want me to be tough? I could be tougher than any human being you've ever seen. I'd be so tough, but you're never gonna get a deal that way So that's the way it goes. One more question There ya go. Yeah, I believe that's all to be true. I got messages from friends overseas Here is my buddy Michelle in the UK What the F is Trump and Vance doing supporting Russia after being in the Cold War for 70 years They've turned on the whole world just for some deals That's how its been perceived Thanks to the media.

CHAPTER 07 / 47 Discussion

George Galloway and Piers Morgan Ukraine War Debate

George Galloway appeared on Piers Morgan's program to argue that the Ukraine conflict began with the 2014 coup backed by Victoria Nuland. Galloway accused the "War Party," including Boris Johnson and Keir Starmer, of being responsible for Ukrainian casualties. He praised Donald Trump's current approach to ending the war while simultaneously maintaining his personal dislike for the former president.

george galloway· piers morgan· nato· 2014 coup· victoria nuland

24:16 I want to put that just not go completely off track, but i do want to play these clips because i think it You wanna do Starmer first? Because that's the big news by the time this show is out everyone's gonna know. Well I was going to play the Galloway material because It gives us all of the background we need Okay, I don't- I'm not familiar with this And reason why I wanna play is because This is George Galloway and Pierce Morgan by- Just as a little background here He's funny! I can't help but laugh Pierce Morgan knows what he's doing He knows what good TV is. He's always been a tabloid guy, so he knows what the headlines should be. He does. He knows how to get attention. He has no personality really... He got you the attention of your clip machine! This is how good he is

25:01 He's good, but so he...and you can hear him defer which is he doesn't get into arguments. If a guy goes off on him on Pierce, let them go because he knows it's interesting but this is George Galloway and notorious socialist who was the writer for The Guardian Who's just generally a creep in general, hates Trump, hates the United States. Hates England as far as I can tell! He hates everything except the Communist Revolution but his discussion of this situation is so on point that you know...

25:38 You have to say, well at least you nailed this part of it. when having spent a lifetime myself fighting against NATO and American wars. It's the Americans that are trying to stop the war, and Piers Morgan, Boris Johnson and Keir Starmer who are trying to keep it going! You've got a lot of Ukrainian... I don't want to keep it going! Wait a minute he put Piers Morgan in the list? That's great yeah that's good you've got a lot of Ukrainian blood on your hands Wow you have lied about this war from the beginning

26:17 You have lied about the origin of this war, about the duration of this war. About the course of this war and now having caused you and your War Party that death of 1 million Ukrainians while claiming to love Ukrainians. You're not calling for British lives to be lost. What's a load of absolute bullshit? That constitutes close to a war crime. You're going to regret it when very soon Zelensky is sitting in a beachfront villa somewhere counting his ill-gotten gains and all the secrets of the rampant corruption between the Democrats

27:00 and the Zelensky regime begin to tumble out of the cupboard. This war did not begin three years ago, you very well know that it began in 2014 You very well know that it began with a coup against the elected president of Ukraine backed by Victoria Nuland and the administration at that time and supported by you Man, everyone's gonna hate Galloway now. He can't even get the left on his side with this! And the whole thing is done for effect and it's very well done. It's effective, it's effective! It's very effective and he... Morgan knows what's going on and this was kind of at least to me it's funny to watch Morgan He almost tries to stop him but then he gets him out he's on a roll and Morgan backs off knowing that this is good material thats gonna get him the views he wants but here we go

28:06 You very well know that the criminalization of the Russian language, which followed hard on the heels of that coup was the proximate reason for an uprising in the east of the country amongst Russian-speaking ethnically Russian people. You very well know that Zelensky and his predecessor rained down shot and shell on the people of East Ukraine for It's eight years before Putin intervened. It is possible that Galloway is really, truly an anti-war guy?

28:44 That may be his reasoning that he's just so anti-war, which is good. And he's on point with this! You're so right – he's on point. In 2022 and the 14 thousand people most of them women and children were killed in that onslaught you very well know that Zelensky was preparing for a a final onslaught, a final solution. And while I'm on that subject you're always telling us how much you love the Jews. You're supporting a regime which puts up statues to Nazi collaborators, to generals of the Galician division of the SS. Zelensky is Jewish, you know that right? He knows Zelensky's Jewish right?

29:34 But that's like saying there is no racism in America because Obama... So you're calling the Jewish leader of Ukraine a Nazi? Is that your position? By the way, I am a little disappointed. Where are all my Jew haters to say that Zelensky is controlling America?! I'm missing this in my time. There you go, good point! That's like saying there is no racism in America because Obama was briefly the president of the country The entire western part of Ukraine played a decisive role in the mass murder of Jews and Poles and others in the Second World War. And now they are heroizing the heroes of the SS, why doesn't Donald Trump agree with you? I'm glad you got these this is very good! He raps it and he keeps saying that it doesn't end with

30:33 I mean now that last is the last clip but it's just like he brings in Donald Trump and this is the part that I find was interesting. Why doesn't why doesn't Donald Trump agree with you? Because he's wrong! Well, you know, you have been up his ass all all of these two decades. You've kissed his feet, you've licked his boots, you're fond upon him really! You have been his super fan and now on this fundamental question of our age he's entirely wrong. watching knows you are Trump's biggest ass. I like him, I like Donald Trump. I know you like him. I don't like him and on many things... Let me finish. The biggest question in politics in the world today is got it completely wrong. Ukraine was the most corrupt country in Europe. More corrupt than Russia?

31:32 No, because it was designated by the economy. What about Putin? What about what? Putin? Yeah, Putin and if it falls apart there so I had to cut that off. Oh thats good! Now does Galloway also hate Trump? Man that was a little unclear. Unfortunately in that little exchange there he says I hate Trump. But Trump is doing the right thing but I hate Trump. Interesting Alright, so all of this culminated I think as intended or as expected in the... There was a hint it may have been intended because Starmer in this clip does indicate that there was some... Because he met with Trump the day before.

CHAPTER 08 / 47 Discussion

Keir Starmer London Summit, Coalition of the Willing

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer hosted a summit in London to reaffirm European support for Ukraine following the tense meeting in Washington. Starmer proposed a "coalition of the willing" to guarantee peace and indicated the UK is prepared to provide "boots on the ground" and air support. This move is seen as an attempt by European leaders to fill the potential void left by shifting U.S. policy.

32:20 Or I think it was the day before. Two days before, yeah. Yeah well, Macron I guess... Macron was there and so was Starmer they both met so there may have been some scheming going on here we don't know for sure but this thing is this is uh I don't know Starmer is not a character I would trust. I don't think anyone trusts Starmer! No, no... Now we're gonna play the announcement from this morning? Yeah this is the one that came out today First we will keep the military aid flowing and keep increasing the economic pressure on Russia to strengthen Ukraine now

33:02 Second, we agreed that any lasting peace must ensure Ukraine's sovereignty and security. And Ukraine must be at the table Third in the event of a peace deal we will keep boosting Ukraine's own defensive capabilities deter any future invasion. Fourth, we will go further develop a coalition of the willing... Where have we heard this? Coalition to the willing was that not Iraq when George W Bush and we scammed everybody into going into a different country and he's the one who said coalition at the wing in fact if people want to look something up this inter entertaining the Council on Foreign Relations did a whole paper on coalition of the willing you good if you type if you google coal

33:49 coalition of the willing to defend a deal in Ukraine and to guarantee the peace. Not every nation will feel able to contribute but that can't mean that we sit back Instead, those willing will intensify planning now with real urgency. The UK is prepared to back this with boots on the ground and planes in the air together with others Europe must do the heavy listing but to support peace in our continent and to succeed this effort must have strong US backing we're working with the U.S. on this point

34:38 after my meeting with President Trump last week. And let me be clear, we agree with the president on the urgent need for a durable peace now we need to deliver together finally We agreed that leaders will meet again very soon To keep the pace behind these actions and to keep working towards this shared plan We are at a crossroads in history today This is not a moment for more talk. It's time to act, time to step up and lead and unite around a new plan for just enduring peace. Thank you. I like the just and enduring peace. Zelensky said that too, adjust peace

35:23 We need a just, whatever that means. A justice. It doesn't mean anything and what's the thing we're gonna have more meetings but let's not have too many meetings give me a break so right after right after the oval blow up Zelensky hoofs it over to number 10 Dowling Street for the big embrace British Prime Minister Kirstarmer welcomed Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky to London on Saturday I want to thank you of the United Kingdom such big support from the very beginning of this war. The meeting follows the berating seen around the world, President Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance gave Zelensky in the Oval Office Friday. God bless you don't know that unless you're not here to work. Don't tell us what we're going to feel. We're trying to solve a problem. Don't tell us what we're gonna feel I'm not telling you because there's no position to dictate that. Remember that you are in no position

36:14 dictate what we're going to feel. President Trump is spending the weekend at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach before leaving DC, Trump spoke to reporters about Zelensky's dressing down that sparked new questions about the next chapter in US support for Ukraine. He's gotta say I want to make peace. He doesn't have to stand there and say about Putin this, Putin that all negative things. What became clear and I think what has the president so frustrated and frankly angry is that it's not clear that Zelensky truly wants to stop the fighting. Many Republicans expressed support of the President after the showdown with Zelensky, but GOP Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska commented on this situation on X calling it a regrettable conversation showing the administration may try to end

CHAPTER 09 / 47 Discussion

Zelensky European Tour, War Tribunals Demand

Following his departure from Washington, President Zelensky met with EU leaders and King Charles III in London. Zelensky emphasized that a "just peace" must include Ukraine joining the EU and NATO to prevent future Russian aggression. He also called for international tribunals to prosecute Russian officials for war crimes, including the alleged theft of children.

volodymyr zelensky· ursula von der leyen· nato· war crimes· tribunals

37:05 all US support for Ukraine. And it seems very obvious to me the EU and the UK are behind this, and for very good reasons. So he went to this emergency summit... ...and everyone's around the table including Queen Ursula They're all in a panel and Zelensky lays out his plight. Oh what a difference a day makes! I'm sorry intro first. We've seen in Washington in The Oval Office

37:41 And because of this diplomatic debris, more than ever pressure on Keir Starmer the UK Prime Minister really and this London summit. But a very positive constructive meeting, a lot of warmth Indeed the Prime Minister came out of that famous black door, number 10 and gave a big hug to President Zelensky. And immediately drew his attention to the cheers that had gone up just outside the gates of number ten very much to say

38:17 that the UK, Ukraine has a full backing of the United Kingdom. Then very warm words in front of the cameras briefly very much appreciated by President Zelensky. President Zelensky who had requested I understand a meeting with the head of state to the United Kingdom Charles and who has indeed obtained it that had to be approved by the UK government so interesting and very constructive, very positive. That defense loan also announced last night so a lot of warmth, a lot of backing and it's hoped that there'll be much more backing in the London summit that will be happening here at Lancaster House. All right... So then what was their report from? That is from I think France 24

39:04 They used the word warmth way too much. Oh, no that was a contrast with Trump obviously because it's an anti-Trump outlet and the warm embrace you know oh yeah you know Zelensky also went into An office with Starmer And I forget the woman's name You know they signed a two billion pound deal right on the spot before even this summit took place so the UK was already already in for two billion pounds to keep something flowing. And here's a, I have a couple of clips here from this panel. The stakes couldn't be higher the summit to take place on Sunday hosted by British Prime Minister Akir Starmer will bring together leaders across Europe and we'll tackle... Let me see if this is it. To our security... No i don't want that one. Is it this one? We hope that we can finish this war this year not in three years

40:00 It's very, very difficult. Very difficult for all our nation to go through this war." And all these Jamoks from the EU are sitting there looking at him like oh yes, yes, yes... But with all respect to our soldiers and our people so I can't speak about three years If we speak about how to prepare security because of the Russia, they can come back in 10 years if we will not be prepared. They will not come back if we will pressure them, put them to their place, to their territory. You have to put them in their place! And if Ukraine will be in EU and NATO... Ahaa, in the EU and NATO there it is In closest years of course it will help us very much I think that they will not come back we'll have strong army and strong allies and strong unity To my mind because they will never forgive

41:05 the world that they didn't win. And you see that they will not win and then he takes it one step further, and this is this is real war talk You know we are very often and also today. We speak that we need Just last in peace when we speak about the just Here you go an explanation of just and lasting peace Austin this when we speak about the just and This war is difficult to find us in this war because of such steps of Russia, their war, the way of this war how many people they killed just killed and thousands in the prison and stolen children. Stolen children? And that's why we'll never forget it and we can't forget it

42:06 I hope that our partners on the same page with us, not only hope I see it but will never forget it and we will really do everything that people who began this war who are provoked. All these people yes really well will answer and And of course we will work on tribunal even after the hard part of this war Even when we will go to the diplomacy, we'll never never forget these surnames and these people Tribunals. Okay That's not peace talk with tribunals and this it's it's like a turning back-the-clock two years It's the same stuff we've heard

CHAPTER 10 / 47 Discussion

European Union Project, War Economy and Centralization

The current geopolitical tension is being framed as a catalyst for the finalization of the European Union project. Leaders like Emmanuel Macron and Keir Starmer are advocating for a "war economy" mindset, which critics argue will lead to a centralized European army and federalized taxation. This shift is viewed as a fulfillment of long-term goals to create a "United States of Europe" at the expense of national sovereignty.

european union· brexit· nigel farage· war economy· emmanuel macron

42:57 And like I explained to my friend Michelle, dude we're responsible. The USA is responsible for this starts with James Baker lying that oh we'll never expand NATO then we expanded NATO over and over and then the coup thank you Victoria Nuland and i just have to chalk that up to the USA. We let all that happen we let all that go And then Boris Johnson coming in stopping the peace accord after Minsk II, and the Europeans were all like no we just want to get ready. We use Minsk II just as a way to arm up and get ready The whole thing has been a big giant scam and really when you look at it this is part of the European Union project Yeah In fact there's a couple things to note which I don't have clips of but

43:51 During this little when Trump went off. He did bring up the fact and just something I subscribed to Which was the EU was formed to screw the United States because they were losing out on trade And it formed specifically to do out compete us Yes, and and it hasn't worked well in addition one of the big problem there were a couple big promises When the II was there? I was living there when it happened The EU would have all the same money, it's going to be great. And everything doubled in price the next day, the minute the euro came in and then next is you will no longer need a passport well that helped with all the irregular migration that was all planned that was flooded the entire zone and they also promised we'll never ever ever have a European army

44:47 I remember we played that clip from, what's his face? The Brexit guy. Farage who said it's just a lie. You want to European? I know we'll never have a European army and will also never centralize the finances to have a federal Bank, yes Central Bank and attacks and attacks right a generalized tax And so they need they need that in order to complete the European Union project They need the fear of Russia then and remember it was

45:25 I think it was Starmer and oh, it was Macron. You know we are now in a... We have to have a war economy mindset, this is what we're moving towards so that once you have a European army then you need to have European taxes to fund that army and now you have the United States of Europe which they always intended to have and they don't care about their people at all! This is literally the finalization of The Project And I'm sure that the globalists like Newland and Lindsey Graham and McCain, they were all in on it. They loved it!

CHAPTER 11 / 47 Discussion

Lindsey Graham Reaction, Zelensky Resignation Suggestion

Senator Lindsey Graham expressed shock at President Zelensky's behavior in the Oval Office, describing it as disrespectful and a "complete disaster." Graham suggested that Zelensky may need to resign or significantly change his approach for the U.S. to continue doing business with him. Observers note Graham's alignment with Trump comes as he faces a primary challenge from a MAGA-aligned candidate.

lindsey graham· donald trump· munich security conference· primary election· magA

46:02 The question is, I do have the clip. Is the Lindsey Graham... he was obviously read in on the scheme of the meeting with Trump? He started off with, you know, Zelensky had a pre-meeting, bipartisan pre-meeting and he's sitting there at the reception line Which is probably a violation of the Logan Act by the way Maybe But they all shaking hands, oh Vladimir so good to see you. Oh it's fantastic. Do you have the Graham clip? I have the Graham clip. I had the whole Graham clip is quite interesting because right after the thing that took place and it starts off when I first heard it was I heard it live when it was going on I thought always gonna turn on Trump which then I did that that thought lifted rather quickly because Graham doesn't do that

46:50 Graham is a screwy guy, pro-war... Yes. A pro war guy but he doesn't turn on the boss and so you ended up with this I don't see your Lindsey Graham clip Under Frakas it's all under Frakas Oh oh i see yes Frakas got it So Ram what do I think? Complete utter disaster! Stop stop so the clip was terrible I mean I think my clip is better No, this clip is really clean. Once it gets going I cleaned it up...I went through Adobe Believe me its understandable. I hate Adobe! They've gotten so bad with this cleanup stuff they just turn it into AI voices like it comes from 11 labs You get used to it believe me This is a much better than that. I know what you have and this I had both in this one I prefer So Rym, would I think complete utter disaster

47:48 I've been to Ukraine eight or nine times since the war started. Understand the consequences of Putin's actions against you train, our appreciate what you training people have done default like tigers at the end of the day? I was hoping that this minerals deal which would be transformative in the relationship would go over well. I talked to Zelensky this morning don't take debate President Trump was in a very good mood last night. Somebody asked me, am I embarrassed about Trump? I have never been more proud of the president. I was very proud of J.D. Vance standing up for our country. We want to be helpful when I saw in the Oval Office was disrespectful

48:34 And I don't know if we can ever do business with Zelensky again. I think most Americans saw a guy that they would not want to go in business with the way he handled the meeting, the way confronted the president was just over-the-top so i think the relationship between Ukraine and America is important, vitally important. But can Zelensky do a deal with the United States? After what I saw, I don't know. President Trump, what did he say to you about his interactions and whether he thinks... He was shocked! He was very upbeat

49:10 I told Zelensky, we'll talk about security guarantees. We'll talk about ceasefires and how the war ends. This is a process! You have a new relationship with America—a $500 billion half-trillion deal that President Trump is proud of that gives us an interest worth defending? Let's talk about the positive?" But he was terrible at Munich, Zelensky And I think he has made it almost impossible to sell to the American people that he's a good investment. Senator Graham, thank you! Do you think President Zelensky needs to resign to presume these peace talks? He either needs to resign and send somebody over that we can do business with or he needs to change Yeah, he may get resigned By the way Lindsey Graham is being primaried

CHAPTER 12 / 47 Discussion

Marco Rubio CNN Interview, Zelensky Apology Demand

Senator Marco Rubio appeared on CNN to demand an apology from President Zelensky for his "antagonistic" behavior during diplomatic meetings. Rubio argued that Zelensky's public statements undermined efforts to reach a peace deal. Meanwhile, reports suggest Russia may offer the U.S. a better deal on rare earth minerals than Ukraine, further complicating the negotiation landscape.

marco rubio· caitlin collins· cnn· diplomacy· rare earth minerals

49:59 by some MAGA person, I think an ex-military guy. So he has to suck up to Trump to get the ever important endorsement. So you know, Lindsey Graham what a tool. He played his part! Yeah he did...I have Rubio post Fracas on CNN with the Joker face, Caitlin Collins Two clips. I thought this was... The lipless wonder? There she is Thank you so much Secretary Rubio for being here We just heard from President Zelensky He said he does not think that he owes President Trump an apology for what happened inside the Oval Office today Do you feel otherwise?

50:39 I do. Because you guys don't see, you guys only saw the end You saw what happened today and you don't see all the things that led up to this So let me explain The president has been very clear he campaigned on this He thinks this war should have never started He believes and I agree that had he been president it never would have happened Now here we are, he's trying to bring an end of this conflict We've explained very clearly what our plan is here which is... ...we want to get the Russians to a negotiating table We want to explore whether peace is possible They understand this They also understand agreement that was supposed to be signed today, was supposed to be an agreement that binds America economically to Ukraine. Which to me as I've explained and I think the president alluded to today is a security guarantee in its own way because we're involved it's not us its our interests

51:21 That was all explained. That was all understood and nonetheless for the last 10 days in every engagement we've had with the Ukrainians there's been complications in getting that point across including the public statements that President Zelensky has made but they insisted on coming to DC this agreement could have been signed five days ago but they insisted on coming to Washington and it should have been a very clear understanding don't come here and create such scenario where you're going start lecturing us about how diplomacy isn't going to work President Zelensky took it in that direction and it ended in a predictable outcome as a result. It's unfortunate, that wasn't supposed to be this way but that was the path he chose and I think frankly you know sends his country backwards in regards to achieving peace which is what president Trump wants at the end of the day for this war to end He has been as consistent as anyone can be about what his objective here

52:12 But what about the apology you kept demanding? What specifically do you want to see President Zelensky apologize for? For being a douche. Well, I apologize for turning this thing into the fiasco for him that it became. There was no need for him to go in there and become antagonistic Look this thing went off the rails you were there? I believe it went off the rails when he said let me ask you a question to the vice president What kind of diplomacy are you talking about well these this is a serious thing? I mean thousands of people have been killed Thousands and he talks about all these horrible things that have happened to prisoners of war for

53:04 Russia The active, open undermining of efforts to bring about peace is deeply frustrating for everyone who's been involved in communications with them leading up to today. And I think you should apologize for wasting our time for a meeting that was going to end the way it did." So I'm seeing different things online. I didn't clip anything, one because Putin is just speaking in Russian but apparently Putin says you know we got more rare earth minerals than Ukraine? Yeah We can do a deal with America. We can do better deal that they can basically And the other one that i saw was some Ukrainian official who knows That said well we just might have to ask China for help

CHAPTER 13 / 47 Discussion

NPR Analysis, Trump Media Strategy and Republican Loyalty

NPR's Ron Elving analyzed the Oval Office meeting, characterizing it as a staged event for television intended to signal Trump's "America First" priorities to both domestic supporters and Vladimir Putin. The analysis suggests that despite private reservations, Republicans in Congress remain publicly loyal to Trump to avoid backlash from his voter base.

npr· ron elving· brett baier· fox news· america first

54:05 Which I thought was interesting, if true. Well, haven't seen that one. Meanwhile the professional signs are out in front of the Tesla dealership in Manhattan. Zelensky is a hero! Zelensky is a hero! Can you hear what they're singing? No. Zelensky is a hero. Zelensky is a hero. Repeat after me Mike Che. What's it got to do with Tesla? Well, Musk you know. Yeah, Musk isn't even in the room If we hurt Musk, we hurt Trump I don't know So I have a bunch of Franke's...I have a series of Franke's analysis from NPR Okay oh that is always funny Which discusses this issue Can we start off by saying hey hi hoi how are you doing can we start off with one of those

55:02 I don't know if i got that one in this one. with President Trump, Vice President Bantz and of course Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelensky. And our senior editor and correspondent Ron Elving joins us now. Ron thanks so much for being with us good to be with you Scott. President and vice-president flanking president Zelensky and then president trump telling him he oughta be grateful for US military aid yes that's exactly how it went

55:43 Okay, all right NPR the national treasure Our military equipment this war would have been over in two weeks in three days I heard it from Putin in three days. This is something less in two weeks of course Yeah, it's gonna be a very hard thing to do business like this and say thank you Very hard to do business like this Ron in your experience anything like this in the Oval Office In front of the International Press Simple answer no the point appeared to be for Trump to send a signal that the world could see including supporters of his America first theme here in the US but

56:21 but also including our allies in Europe, the countries he wants to stop depending on the US for security and perhaps also a signal to Vladimir Putin with whom has been quite visibly cooperative since returning to power. And as to the presence of reporters it was less about the press than the cameras In fact as the abortive meeting ended Trump could be heard to say to the departing crews that must have made quote great television unquote The act as if it was a hot mic moment. I mean no Yes, and by the way that was exactly the pitch of Susan Rice yes Oh yeah, but this analysis was identical Yeah And identical to the conversation we had with the publisher and identical to the conversation I had with the uber driver Wow that is That is strong meme So it's uh... It was hijacked too

57:19 Suck up to Vladimir Putin. Yeah, all right. Third right. Okay here we go President Trump gets support from Republicans in Congress to essentially flip US policy To support Russia because support for Ukraine has enjoyed bipartisan support Yes judging by their public reactions in real time yes president trump will get their support through republicans in the Senate by and large Even some of the biggest defense hawks like Lindsey Graham of South Carolina were calling on Zelensky to apologize to Trump for that meeting or to resign as president of Ukraine.

57:56 So what they're making it about here is the apology. That's what we're gonna be just hit to death with for the next week, is oh he's such a little puny man He wants an apology Well the funny thing is that I thought was interesting was that after he had the fracas He did, I didn't expect this to happen but he did do Brett Barr. Brett Baer yeah he did. Brett Baer Yeah. He went to the Brett Baers show and the whole show which I was stunned I thought he'd just cancel it but no in fact I think Baer was stunned. He mentioned it several times there's 30 seconds left on this clip I don't want you to... But I also wanted to say that all that show is about was the apology. Yep true Well, Fox News is run by Democrats.

58:44 But on this issue, as on so many, Republicans in Congress may utter criticisms or regrets here and there or disagree but they do not break with Trump. They vote with him. They know what that will mean for them in the immediate hours thereafter online if they oppose him and on the phone and back in their districts of their states And they know what it means when they next face Republican voters Yeah Yeah, it's only about politics. It's only about the show of course NPR of course makes nothing but sense Oh man this it was a two more I have to mark system in PR moment though The whole thing was Was fun and well-timed Thank You President Trump doing it on a Friday in between shows that was appreciated. Oh is great

CHAPTER 14 / 47 Discussion

Ukraine Internal Politics, Impeachment and TikTok Support

Reports from Kiev indicate a mix of public support for Zelensky via TikTok and growing political opposition within the Ukrainian Parliament. Articles of impeachment have reportedly been introduced by opposition figures who have faced restrictions under martial law. The narrative highlights a divide between those viewing the conflict as a fight for peace versus a business deal.

ukraine· impeachment· tiktok· mustafa nayyem· kiev

59:35 What else I thought it was like terrific. I said, and what's this? What did what next in fact is one of the another topic that comes up is that well This is gonna be a horrible now This is this is this is this this shows top then next I guarantee by Thursday There'll be another thing that will be just as good as this yes JFK files released It's gonna be great. Well you don't know about let's play this fracas you can Ukraine rally. Ukrainians are rallying around their president Volodymyr Kuczynski after he was publicly berated in the White House yesterday by President Trump and Vice President Jadie Vance By the way, there's articles of impeachment now in the Ukrainian Parliament so I'm not sure these reports about rallying around Zelensky are all that correct? I wonder about that myself but it is possible

1:00:23 Because the guy who is pushing the articles of impeachment is one of the oppositions that has been pretty much imprisoned by Zelensky's dictatorship. And I think Trump was correct about this, by the way. This guy has turned into a dictator that for some reason we're all in on. By the way, Sir Gene just sent me a message he speaks fluent Russian Because he's my handler. Yeah, and so Jean says yes Putin did say Russia was way has way more rare earth than Ukraine And is ready to do a deal with the US for rare material extraction from all of Russia

1:01:00 There we go, straight from the translator's mouth. We always do well when Putin actually would be pre-Putin let the oil companies and our oil companies into Russia because they didn't have that at the very beginning Russia is making a lot of money off of oil and gas but they've always had the reserves They've had tons of them and everybody knew that since Stalin who'd gotten rid of all the bureaucratic class I could do engineering They had nobody that knew how to get the oil out properly using modern technologies. We're good partners!

1:01:39 And BP and all the boys came in and showed the Russians how to do it. And then Russia, all of a sudden becomes an oil economy because they were shown how to do it right. Yeah. And they've benefited from it. They know that they could bring in our guys... Our boys again. Bring out the Browder list again! Here we go. We could make money for everybody. I just don't get why we don't want to do that more? It's just beyond me. Well clearly our president does Yeah, but it still comes up with this anti-Russian propaganda. He comes up against this wall Putin Putin Putin wall and it's everywhere all right Let's continue with the fracas on NPR NPR is Joanna Kikis' reports from Kiev Ukrainians made TikTok videos and posted to social media just show their support for that Oh, this is there evidence that TikTok videos? What are you a podcast what are you doing in PR?

1:02:33 Ukrainians made TikTok videos and posted to social media to show their support for Zelensky. One prominent politician, Mustafa Nayyem wrote on social media that the Trump administration hates Zelensky and Ukraine and sees Ukrainians as quote barriers to backroom deals At the Kyiv food market, soldier Denis Sokolov says Zelensky wants what's best for Ukraine. The main difference is that Ukraine won't make a peace but Trump won't make it deal. That's a huge difference in our politics and our vision to how we want to end the war. Making peace versus making a deal he says are two different goals Let me just contradict the NPR lady here

CHAPTER 15 / 47 Discussion

European Sentiment, Ukrainian Refugee Fatigue

Anecdotal reports from the Netherlands, Germany, and the UK suggest growing public fatigue regarding the presence of Ukrainian refugees. The discussion touches on the economic strain and cultural friction in European cities. This sentiment is linked to broader criticisms of central planning and the "serfdom" associated with the European Union's current trajectory.

netherlands· germany· refugees· road to serfdom· friedrich hayek

1:03:18 I have friends in the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, the UK and you know who they really hate? The Ukrainians. They're sick of them! Now you won't hear that... And these friends and family members are no fans of President Trump per se. They're sick of the Ukrainians, and the Ukrainians are walking around doing... I've seen TikTok videos! I hate it here in Holland this place sucks The Dutch are no good The food sucks Kinda true It's like the whole thing... Ukraine is known for its cuisine They must have something going on Alright What's this? Oh, the rally clip Is that next one

1:04:00 Yeah, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is hosting a meeting of European leaders in London tomorrow to show support for Ukraine. Okay so we already know what came out of that one? Yes indeed I mean i don't know how much more we can do the only thing is I did get a note that Haltbach bunkers who are marine fuel provider Norway has now declared they will cease supplying fuel to US Navy vessels well that seems smart What? I missed this one. Yeah, let me see where it's from... Why?!

1:04:37 Because, you know... Let me see. I have there- We have today been witnesses to the biggest- This is apparently from Hultbach Bunkers on X so take it for what it's worth Could be bullcrap Could be we have been witnesses to the biggest shit show ever presented live on TV by the current American president and his vice president huge credit to the President of Ukraine restraining himself for keeping calm even though the USA put on a backstabbing TV show It made us sick short and sweet as a result we have decided An immediate stop is fuel provided to American forces in Norway and their ships calling on Norwegian ports. No fuel to Americans! We encourage all Norwegians and Europeans to follow our example, Slava Ukrania!" Okay... I don't know if it's true but- It seems highly unlikely Yeah well that's why i say it's an ex post you just don't know

1:05:33 Someone recommended I read the road to serfdom. Have you ever read that from Hayek? Long time ago. Yeah, so this person's... Did you get a book? It's right in with, you know, it's a hair on fire thing. Yeah but in a way is kind of...it makes sense because Europe wants central planning they want Central War Planning which means central industry planning because that's what the war economy is they want the central bank they want the finances to get together they want the European Union taxes to pay for everything and how

1:06:09 You know, you just... everyone's like whatever. I don't know it's kind of sad so they need... It goes back to the days of the kings and queens and serfs and peasants This is a historic thing They've always had a de fiefdom kinda thinking Well I mean... It's pathetic Sorry EU but yeah it does feel a bit like that So, we'll wait until everyone really lose their ever-loving minds when Trump starts doing a deal with Putin. That will be fun! It's good for the show but phew man...

CHAPTER 16 / 47 Discussion

JD Vance Protests, Vermont Vacation Disruption

Vice President JD Vance and his family were met by pro-Ukraine protesters during a vacation in Vermont. The demonstrations forced the family to relocate to an undisclosed location for security reasons. The incident is compared to past calls by Democratic politicians for activists to confront Republican officials in public spaces.

1:06:52 It's not gonna be fun to watch. No, but it's good for the show! We have just as many Americans who think the same way More professional signs As JD Vance and family go on a quick little break. Vice President J D Vance and his family following yesterday's Fiasco there with Ukrainian president Zelensky There's some new video now we have showing the vice president being greeted by protesters holding anti-Vance pro-Ukraine signs as he makes his way there to Vermont for a season's vacation. More protesters met the Vance family outside of the resort and the family ultimately had to move to an undisclosed location. Undisclosed location, okay... This is the same old thing with Maxine Waters during her first administration telling get in their faces! Get in their faces! It was horrible Republicans it's really about Republicans

CHAPTER 17 / 47 Discussion

UK Online Safety Act, Apple iCloud Encryption Dispute

Vice President JD Vance raised concerns with Prime Minister Keir Starmer regarding the UK's Online Safety Act and its impact on American tech companies. The UK government is reportedly demanding "backdoor" access to Apple's iCloud data, a move Tulsi Gabbard called an egregious violation of privacy. Apple has already begun scaling back certain security features in the UK market in response to regulatory pressure.

jd vance· keir starmer· apple· icloud· tulsi gabbard

1:07:49 So I do have two short clips regarding J.D. Vance, Trump and Starmer about the free speech issue which i still think should be called freedom of speech but okay everyone calls it free speech Here's JD Vance making a point of it with the British Prime Minister. I said what i said which is that we do have, of course, a special relationship with our friends in the UK and also with some of our European allies but we also know that there have been infringements on free speech that actually affect not just the British, of course what the British do in their own country is up to them but also affect American technology companies and by extension American citizens. So that is something we'll talk about today at lunch.

1:08:35 in the United Kingdom. Yeah you had it for a very long time and then you did away with it. And it will last for a very, very long time. Well no I mean certainly we wouldn't want to reach across US citizens and that's absolutely right but in relation to free speech in the UK I'm very proud about our history there. I'll bet you're proud of it here's Keir Starmer. What is he talking about? They're arresting people for Facebook posts You can get arrested for performative praying, which I thought was a great term. So if you pray in front of a window and someone sees it that could be seen as insulting and you can get a citation or be arrested for it but here's

1:09:21 Starmer once again denying this. I think it's on Brett Baier He did say today we do have the special relationship with our friends in the UK and some European allies But we also know that there have been infringements on free speech that actually affect not just the British but also affected American technology companies and by extension American citizens The House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, I think has brought this up Yeah This is about UK's online safety act Is the UK and EU? Trying to censor speech. No, we don't believe in censoring speech But of course we do need still with terrorism waiting by the way it's true They don't sensor speech they just arrest you that's not the same as censorship is being very tricky here We don't really speak but Of course we do need to deal with terrorism. We need to deal with pedophiles and I

1:10:15 But I talked to the Vice President about it today and we had a good exchange about it. And of course, he's right to champion free speech We champion free speech in the United Kingdom and in relation to the measures that we've taken obviously where we're very mindful that it shouldn't have an impact on US citizens Very demure very mindful now what this is about as you heard him mention twice It affects US technology companies. What they're talking about here is the Apple order This morning, rare bipartisanship in Washington over new concerns about American cyber security This gives UK the right to basically spy on my data That issue was an order from the British government that could affect people right here in the U.S

1:10:59 The UK government is reportedly demanding Apple provide backdoor access to any data in its cloud storage system. They've demanded this access not only to citizens of their own country, but to citizens around the world which is pretty scary Just last week Apple said it would stop offering an optional security feature in the UK called advanced data protection which is found under settings that feature blocks Apple from unlocking your data Apple holds the key to all of the data that's uploaded into iCloud. And the reason they do this makes sense, it's because oh I've lost my password and so Apple can say don't worry we'll take care of you, we can get that data back. Advanced Data Protection says no-no-no, I don't want Apple to have the key

1:11:41 But the UK may want Apple to go further in providing data access, presumably for national security or law enforcement. Here at home Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard forming a legal response saying this would be a clear and egregious violation of Americans privacy and civil liberties lawmakers urging action saying these dangerous short sighted efforts by the United Kingdom will undermine American's privacy rights and expose them to espionage by China Russia and other adversaries It's up to American politicians to start putting the pressure on the UK and saying, whoa, whoa, whoa. This is an American company. This is a bit out of bounds." It's kind of interesting to me that you know, the U.K. Is looking at well they've ordered Apple effectively And I think Apple has complied like don't encrypt it

NSA Transgender Culture, Christopher Rufo Investigation

Investigative journalist Christopher Rufo is reporting on the prevalence of transgender identity politics within the National Security Agency (NSA). The discussion suggests that mainstream media outlets are avoiding the story due to its sensitive nature. This is framed as a distraction from the agency's core mission of national defense.

nsa· christopher rufo· transgender· city journal· identity politics

1:12:29 And our own spy agency, the NSA seems to be a trans cult. They're just talking about tucking all day I mean what is going on in the world? Have you seen that? That NSA situation has not really been exploited by the mainstream media enough. It seems to me if I was the editor of a Metropolitan Daily, I would take that story and just go after it Well its the City Journal thats going after it. What's his name? Christopher Ruffo He is going after it

1:13:08 The mainstream media can't go after it because it's anti-trans, it's transphobic. It's no good! They're still all in on that they can't do that so... I'm speaking to... They're in a bind with this with this trans thing yeah beyond them although yeah actually I had let me see have a clip um this is a TikTok clip no less Oh, no! Nooo! I'm in your turf. This is a gay lady and she's out of the club Howdy my name is Julie. I'm an adult human female And to be in the gay club you used to just have to do gay stuff I'm a girl. I kiss girls. Homo done easy over with we get it? No one gives us shit But now to be a gay It seems there's a lot more rules You gotta read the fine print

Gay males don't bring it up as much but the lesbians seem to be very upset about it All of them except Kara Swisher She's all in she is the leader of the cult

Influencer Marketing Scripts, TikTok Nutritionist Supercut

A viral supercut reveals dozens of TikTok influencers using the exact same script to promote a nutrition supplement. The influencers all claim their father or brother is the "highest-paid nutritionist in California" while performing the same task, such as peeling a potato. This is cited as evidence of highly coordinated and deceptive marketing operations on social media platforms.

1:14:51 Yeah, yeah she was that's because she's a Democrat. She stuck in the in the Democrat ethos I can't allow you not to think that way That's my hate listen. I can't even listen to my hate listen it's gotten so bad. It's hurting this show what? Okay, all right. Thursday I'll bring in clips from my hate listen. It's it's okay it's always the same what house are you in today Scott? Oh! I hate Trump me too okay By the way you know we often play these super cuts of the news media saying the same thing over and over again Yes an old gag that seems to have legs yes so I have a supercut of influencers this kind of shows you

1:15:35 how smart companies are using the internet and TikTok and Instagram to do exactly the same. They give the influencers money, they give them a script, and in this case they all are also peeling a potato—and this is for some supplement company I believe—so it's exact same thing. They're peeling a potato with a potato peeler And it's crazy and they say this. My dad is one of the highest paid nutritionists in California, no one believes him when he says these things. My dad is the highest. Dad was the highest paid nutritionist in 2024 and

1:16:22 Still, nobody believes him when he tells them. My dad is one of the highest paid nutritionists in all of California yet for some reason nobody believes him when he says these things. Chickpeas- Dad's the highest paid nutritionist in California yet no one believes him when he says these things. You drink- My dad's the highest paid black nutritionist in Southern California and yet no one believes him when he gives him these simple- My dad's one of the highest paid nutritionists in all Florida yet no one believes him when he tells him these things My dad's the highest paid nutritionist in California, yet no one believes him when he says these things. If you- My dad is one of the highest paid- My dad is one of the highest paid nutritionists and here are some wild things that he swears by that no one ever believed. My brother's the highest paid nutritionist in Europe yet no one in the US believes him when he shares these secrets

1:17:07 My dad's a dietician. Of course he'll make me healthy dinner. My dad is the highest paid nutritionist in all of New York, but nobody believes me when I share this advice. There you go! Wow! Who dug that one up? Well it's very easy to do for yourself if you have the TikTok app where i know you only use on the computer but maybe time to get the phone out of the drawer load the TikTok app and we need... You search for term and in the Tiktok app when you scroll Then it starts playing... Yeah, but you get a variety of uh.. Yes! But it starts playing the previews. So this was literally just scrolling through the previews letting each one play as it came by and then scrolling further to go to the next one Did you put this together? I did not. I did not. But I saw how it was done

Pediatric Virus Propaganda, RSV and Flu Season

Media reports are highlighting a "quaddemic" of respiratory viruses affecting children, including RSV and the flu. Critics argue that these reports are designed to maintain a state of public fear and encourage continuous vaccination. The segment notes the use of terms like "kiddos" in medical reporting to soften the delivery of health warnings.

rsv· influenza· norovirus· pediatric health· medical watch

1:17:52 That's astonishing. Is it surprising though? It is not a surprise in the least, but the obviosity which is a good word by the way... Obviosity! I like it Yeah, the obviousity of this is people should be frightened by it This is an op of the highest order. We're just being played by these marketing people in every which way. You want to hear some big pharma plays? Love it. Okay, the first okay first an easy one just like what do you call it low-hanging fruit? It didn't take long for one year old Soren's flu symptoms to land him in the emergency room It was really overwhelming and the fact that the hospital was already so packed with kids that were sick Was also a startling thing but as soon as it seemed he was getting better He then got RSV we had to like quarantine him away from his brother And he he was like crying

1:18:53 to hang out with his brother and it was just, it was really heartbreaking. Turns out there's been a big increase in families dealing with the same situation. So it's been different this year. Dr. Olukemi Akinrinola is used to busy days and seeing sick kiddos but not like this. Thank you for picking up on that if there's one thing I despise its calling kids kiddos It's it's it's creepy busy days and seeing sick kiddos, but not like this what on this particular day We had flu A, influenza a positive about 20 cases in just my panel. It was really alarming." It can be tough for parents so many of these viruses have similar symptoms runny noses coughs some sort of fever but we asked what is the key to telling them apart? For the flu...

1:19:47 And once kids do start to feel better, they're actually more susceptible to other viruses at that point. The immune system was no easier for them to get everything else after treatment, Soren is feeling better or definitely on the up and up now doctors say during this time keep an eye on your kids symptoms and know that early intervention works best you know you know your child and kind of trust her gut a little bit

1:20:29 In flu season, I'll be honest it's probably better safe than sorry. So there is your quaddemic. Unfortunately the kid is not puking with norovirus but this one... Yeah how does that work? How do you get norovirus and not puke? Now this is my favorite because this a very important week and I'm not downplaying the importance of the week because my daughter had eating disorder My stepdaughter had eating disorder Lots of girls have eating disorders, but it is National Eating Disorder Week. So let's celebrate with a new term! On the Medical Watch this afternoon it's National Eating Disorder Awareness Week and there is a disorder affecting boys and young men that you've likely never heard about. It's called Bigorexia. Bigorexia? Have you ever heard of this John? You've likely never... I've heard of big erection but not big orexia

Bigorexia Diagnosis, National Eating Disorder Awareness Week

During National Eating Disorder Awareness Week, medical professionals introduced the term "Bigorexia" to describe muscle dysmorphia in young men. The condition involves a hyper-focus on becoming muscular and lean, often linked to following fitness influencers like Joe Rogan. Critics mock the diagnosis as a way to pathologize traditional masculine interests in physical fitness.

bigorexia· muscle dysmorphia· joe rogan· eating disorders· body image

1:21:18 Dr. Huma Khan is the director of adolescent medicine at Advocate Children's Hospital and joins me now, thanks for being with us so first of all what is bigorexia? So Bigorexia is a term that describes muscle dysmorphia it's a type of body dysmorphia in which an individual is hyper focused on getting very muscular and lean And so what are some of the warning signs to watch for? So, some of the warning signs... You kick your ass is one of them.

1:21:59 Oh no! Oh heaven forbid. See, when you're interested in working out you better lay down son, you've got bigorexia. This is an April Fool's joke? No it's not this lady had a white lab coat on and stethoscope and everything... Happening every day multiple times a day um and if this is also paired with any restrictive eating behaviors like adhering to a fad diet, cutting calories, cutting carbs to the point where you're noticing your child is no longer eating like they used to. But what's the difference? What do you mean like eating healthy and uh... Your kidney is like an anti-report! This is great! No longer eating like they used too. but what's the difference between you know childhood becomes kind of aware their looks if you will as they enter at the teenage years in one who watches Joe Rogan

1:22:53 exhibiting conduct that parents should be concerned about. Yeah, I think that's a really interesting point and this week is National Eating Disorders Awareness Week and i think it's really interesting to think about you know we focus on eating healthy and exercising and how that's important but it's also important to note that when these things are done in excess it can be very dangerous Bigorexia. There you go, dangerous by the way the first report I wanted to make a comment on yes they like the idea of softening you up with kind of pre propagandizing the public that oh your kid has influenza then he and he gets RSV on top of that they always like which i don't know how often this happens but but the idea is to make you think that you're going to get two things at once yeah

1:23:41 to keep in play the idea that when you get the flu, you can also get bird flu or something. Or the two will intermix and a third new disease will evolve. That whole concept which is very sketchy Has to be in the public frame of mind so we can always keep people in a state of fear. Yes bigorexia also known as reverse anorexia or Megarexia, how about magorexia? There's a new one Magorexia I'm gonna write it down. Magorexia, look it'll be a thing you watch magorexial be thinking now to define what it is exactly so beefed up Trump supporters there's a must the muscle do no no bodyguards wear red hats that's it that's magorexia

Texas Measles Outbreak, Vaccine Strain Claims

Dr. David Erb claims that a recent measles outbreak in Gaines County, Texas, was actually caused by a vaccine campaign rather than a wild viral strain. He suggests that "vaccine-strain" measles is often the culprit in modern outbreaks. This claim is positioned against the backdrop of RFK Jr.'s growing influence on pharmaceutical policy.

measles· texas· rfk jr· vaccine strain· david erb

1:24:36 This is, I found this to be fascinating. I can back up his claim about the event taking place. I can't back up his lab claims that this is Dr David Erb Dr. David Erb, not Herb but Dr. David Erb. The ERB. Yes and he has an explanation for the measles outbreak in Texas which I thought was worth sharing Hi everybody this is Dr. David Erb of Erb Family Wellness Quickly everyone needs to know that it's national news that there is a quote outbreak of measles in Texas And its Gaines County Texas And the outbreak started with 14 individuals, that was the outbreak. The outbreak 14 people but they did not tell you is guess what happened that caused the outbreak in Gaines County Texas? It was a free measles vaccine campaign that vaccinated a bunch of individuals and literally is

1:25:31 the outbreak. If you actually get in vectors, there's receipts on this you can actually go back and look at articles on it and I know the propaganda wheel is turning but here's It's not a coincidence that it is happening right now and RFK Jr. is about to put a dent in the whole pharmaceutical vaccine industry, but here's the other thing there's a test called reverse transcriptase RNA test that you can test individuals that have infections and things and look at the virus And if you do that when people with measles You can see if it's a wild viral strain of measles or if its a vaccine strain of measles and guess what you find invariably almost every single time when you see these outbreaks

1:26:10 Do you think it's wild measles or do you think it's actually vaccines measles? And what you invariably find most of the time is that this actually a vaccine strain of measles, not wild measles which means guess what the cause was. The cause was the vaccine program in a time where they're actually trying to prove hey, the vaccines eradicate all these quote unquote diseases when really the only thing that's keeping these things going is literally the vaccine programs are actually causing people to get sick So I don't know about this claim. I buy it! And I'll tell you why... I buy it too, yes. I buy it because this reminds me of the swine flu, the number of vaccines that went out with life swine flu in them and was some sort of a supposed accident? I never believed that they were designed to plant swine flu Yes good work

Pope Francis Health Crisis, Conclave Movie Release

Pope Francis is reportedly in serious condition at the Vatican following a severe coughing fit and complications from pneumonia. The timing of the health crisis coincides with the release of the film "Conclave," which is a frontrunner at the Academy Awards. Speculation regarding the Pope's recovery and the potential for a new papal election is increasing.

1:27:03 And this makes nothing but sense because Kennedy's coming in, let's plant some measles and measles quote-unquote outbreak. And then make a big fuss about it I mean listen we don't put anything past these ghouls Just because there are billions of dollars involved in free money? Why wouldn't you try this trick I mean just like Hollywood, you know let's get rid of Gene Hackman everyone will watch the Oscars and remember Conclave is in the running. So what we are hearing is that the word out of the Vatican is that the Pope is in serious condition The words they're using are extremely concerning He has been hospitalized for more than two weeks

1:27:44 with pneumonia and bronchitis. And although it appeared as if his condition was improving, things have taken a turn according to official reports the Holy Father was up this morning and praying in the chapel at some point he suffered an isolated coughing fit which caused him to start vomiting. An isolated coughing bit that's quite the coughing fit if you start vomiting this is not good. Morning and praying in the chapel at some point he suffered an isolated coughing fit which caused him to start vomiting and there's concern about aspiration, which is when food or liquid goes into your airway instead of through your esophagus. The episode was so intense that he's receiving what we are told is non-invasive medical ventilation

1:28:27 What does that exactly mean? Here's pulmonologist Dr. Barbara Mann from Mount Sinai. pulmonary complications to begin with. He's been in the hospital for a while now and although he may have been stable for a couple of days going into this acute episode, I'm sure it set him back um a lot and it's unclear whether he'll be able to recover from that or not So the question on everybody's minds has Pope Francis been given his last rites, which if you're not Catholic it is a sacrament given to those who are close to death. That was like a question that was not in my mind but thanks for bringing it up. It's not a question of mine and his night when your close to death is your dying

1:29:17 Process either dying or he just died. You're just right there at the death's bed It's not because you're gonna die here you do that tomorrow then the reason why we need this is because of the Oscars tonight And it's unclear I think yeah, yes Say that you're probably right. Yeah, so the question on everybody's minds has put everybody's mind Francis Everybody just sit down your mind That's not my was not on my mind until they heard the clip rights which if you're not Catholic its a sacrilege given to those who are close to death. The Vatican hasn't said if that was to be announced it would mean that the Pope's condition has become so severe that death was imminent and again we just want to mention to both of you that it hasn't not been announced but people are waiting to see if in fact they do so. Awful news to hear. Thanks Teresa, awful news. I'm saying conclave for the win tonight! Conclave for the win

1:30:08 Looks like a good movie, by the way. Looks pretty interesting. Isn't it about a gay...a transsexual priest or something? There's all kinds of- no! Like the priest who becomes pope has ovaries and all kinds of... It's perfect! Yes, it's perfect! Oh man. It's perfect!! I thought Enora, was it Enora the one that seems to be the last minute favorite until Conclave all of a sudden took over? First it was some one other movie then it was this Enor- This is all bullcrap. I haven't seen any of them. Enora... What is Enora? That's because none of these movies are any good! What is the Enora movie about? It's about a whore. Okay thanks for the plot line. That's basically it yeah. Comics for Blogger wants

USAID Funding Freeze, Afghanistan Health Services

The Trump administration has frozen approximately $2 billion in USAID funds, leading to a legal battle that has reached the Supreme Court. Chief Justice John Roberts issued a temporary stay on payments to global health organizations. Reports indicate that millions of people in Afghanistan may lose health services, though critics argue much of the aid previously benefited the Taliban.

1:33:21 The NPR is all in, all this poor USAID. I want to go for these two clips and then I'm going to do this regularly and the best I can find it Jesse Waters who who summarizes some of the scams going on and he does a good job almost every show. Let me guess, is it trans, trans-LGBTQ? Yeah! A lot of that! Of course yeah because nothing gets the Fox viewers riled up than two million dollars to some trans dance party. That's right sorry it was Trans Dance Party you got it wrong USAID all right NPR

1:34:02 Been a difficult week for the United States Agency for International Development. The Trump... I love this guy! I want him to do jingles for us, you're listening to Noah Jenner's show. He doesn't have to, you've got the voice. But in a difficult week for the United States Agency for International Development, the Trump administration killed nearly all of the aid agencies'... What? Wow, what's his mind on? We're going to kill all the aides and you can hear him go oh shit I said aides. I mean aide. The Trump administration killed nearly all of the aides of the aid agencies programs put thousands of its employees on administrative leave or laid them off meanwhile illegal battle between the government and global health groups is going on about the funds that are still frozen

1:34:50 On Wednesday, the Supreme Court said it would weigh in though it hasn't issued a ruling yet. And PR Global Health correspondent Fatma Tannis joins us. Hey Fatima! Thanks so much for being with us. Thanks for having me Scott. The case has reached the Supreme Court help us understand it please? So, in January when Trump officials at USAID froze foreign aid funds they also didn't pay organizations for work that was done before in December and January. And these global health groups now say that they've had to lay off staff and are facing insolvency so they sued the government to make payments a federal judge then ordered the government and set a deadline for last Wednesday to make those payments but on Wednesday night

1:35:33 The Trump administration appealed to the Supreme Court and Chief Justice John Roberts paused the case, giving the government a reprieve. Then on Friday global health organizations urged the Supreme Court to order the government to make those payments it's about two billion dollars that the government owes these organizations and we're still waiting to see what the court will do next. And what about the terminations to the agency's grants? What kind of programs have been cut? So the administration sent out termination letters to organizations saying that it had determined that those grants were not aligned with agency priorities and that continuing those programs is not in the national interest. The administration has decided that more than 90% of USAID's grants are to be terminated, and some

1:36:17 funded programs that work to deliver the Trump administration's own policy goals like curbing migration, drug trafficking. Others provided shelters for rape survivors or education around the world." Okay it was horrible because they go on and on and I so I got to the end of it because this last little bit here really kind of irked me. But wait, then I get there right then Jesse waters is follows that here we go. Where does this leave the global assistance industry? Well it's quite the earthquake for the global aid industry It's all interconnected so this move by the administration has far-reaching implications millions of people around the world will feel the impact and

1:37:00 One example, the UN said that 9 million people in Afghanistan would no longer have health services without US funding. And organizations just say that there's no replacement really for the role that the U.S had in the global aid sector. Okay wait a minute... 9 million Afghanis are getting health care from us? Yes. We have homeless encampments around San Francisco's filled with them, there's tent cities on the main streets and all the rest of it but we're paying for the healthcare Yeah this is... Of nine million Afghani citizens Are you kidding me?! We have an epidemic of empathy in our country An empathy epidemic

Foreign Aid to Terrorist Groups, Congressional Hearing

A recent congressional hearing highlighted instances where U.S. foreign aid has indirectly supported terrorist organizations, including Al-Shabaab, Hamas, and Hezbollah. Testimony revealed that $40 million a week is being sent to Afghanistan, where it is allegedly intercepted by the Taliban. This is framed as a failure of the "empathy epidemic" in American foreign policy.

1:37:46 And people get so focused on these, on the unhoused, uh, on the poor Afghans. Brown people in sandy areas and they just forget about their own neighborhood, their own neighbors, their own family. It's really quite astonishing and it is a, an effect of media driven MK ultra programming its It's unbelievable. NPR plays it to the hilt, they're all in on this now of course the funny thing is that those nine million Afghanis that are supposedly getting health care from us is really not going to them anyway its going to the Taliban for their just general funds because that came out and did in this report which says Waters discussing some other these scams going on then he kicks into a congressional hearing

1:38:39 where they discuss this. Pretty sure this money's for cocaine. But don't worry, we're also gonna give the Caribbean 3 million for being gay and lesbian. You're gay and we want you to stay that way. And we still had money left over for terrorists. Mr Roman are you aware that we are sending $40 million a week? To the Taliban Yes sir Can you name other instances of foreign aid going to terrorist organizations

1:39:22 We have assisted Al-Shabaab in Somalia. There's been instances of the Hamzeh network in Sudan, Hamas Islamic Jihad Hezbollah, Qatayiba Hezbollah, Hayat al-Hashr al-Shams in Syria Dozens of terror organizations have received indirect assistance from US foreign aid Wow bringing back a name, A blast from the past! Yeah baby Al Shabab. Hadn't heard from those guys in awhile. They get their money and shut up That's like 2015 time Al Shabab Well Doge

DOGE Investigation, Endeavors Pecos Shelter Contract

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is investigating a $18 million-per-month contract awarded to the nonprofit Endeavors for a migrant shelter in Pecos, Texas. DOGE claims the facility has remained empty while the organization received massive federal payments. Endeavors defends the contract as necessary for "operational readiness," but critics point to potential cronyism involving former Biden transition team members.

1:40:02 made some local news here, San Antone is right down the road. This was shocking to say the least! The organization is also known as Endeavors and you may have seen its administrative headquarters and wellness center on Dezavala Road where it has a cluster of buildings and storefronts Doge focused on an overflow housing facility for migrant families Endeavors operates in Pecos, Texas which Doge says has been sitting empty while Endeavors has been receiving the 18 million dollars per month. Homeland Security reposted Doge's ex-post tagging US Attorney Ed Martin with the words please investigate to which Martin responded duly noted we are on it

1:40:48 I went to Endeavor's San Antonio headquarters today to get a comment from the organization. They responded late this afternoon by email, Endeavors was responsible for maintaining operational readiness at the Pekus shelter ensuring the ability to scale from cold status operationally ready but not actively serving children to full use of 3,000 beds as needed. Decisions regarding facility use and migrant sheltering locations were made by the federal government not Endeavors any claims of corruption or mismanagement are baseless

1:41:23 Doge also claims Endeavor's received its HHS contract in 2021 after a former ICE employee and Biden transition team member joined the nonprofit. So wait, $18 million dollars a month? Yeah it was about a quarter billion dollar contract. 18 million dollars a month for 3 000 beds empty Yeah, even if they're filled. Let's see what is that? 18 million divided by 3,000 divided by three about I'd say about five thousand Five thousand dollars a bit in my am I correct on that five thousand six thousand dollars a day That's six thousand no a bed a bed six thousand dollars a bed which means a month this is eighteen thousand dollars a month and

1:42:17 So it's $6,000 a month per person. Per bed yes Yeah or per bed okay which is 70 what? $72,000 a year? Yes! $72,000 a year?!

It's one that generations of Americans will look back on with horror.

Federal Layoffs, NOAA Weather Service Impact

Mass layoffs at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) have sparked concerns about the accuracy of weather forecasts and tornado warnings. Approximately 800 probationary workers were terminated as part of the Trump administration's workforce reduction. Critics argue this compromises public safety, while proponents suggest local meteorologists can interpret raw data without federal oversight.

Hey come on man for one bed John if you and I had at hotel we would be swimming in dough We would.

It's one that generations of Americans will look back on with horror.

1:43:49 The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration being impacted by the firings as well. Here we go. NOAA, 800 workers on probationary status have been laid off those who were not let go say the fired employees include meteorologists who make crucial forecasts at the National Weather Service Those NWS models are used by local meteorologists across the country Chris Bianchi at our sister station 9 News in Denver says that data is directly responsible for keeping people safe That tornado warning is not issued by me, it's not issued by the 9 News weather department. It is not issued by the TV enterprise. It's not issued by anybody. It was issued by the Weather Service so who would issue a tornado warning? The union fighting the federal layoffs called the California judge ruling a first step and vow to keep up the fight.

1:44:34 These are just feeds of data which any local meteorologist could translate and should be able to understand what's coming. I mean, as a pilot I have that information like that Not only that, but yeah okay there's one model that they create and it's caused by... And these models when there is a big storm coming if you watch even watch the regular weather channels or any of them. They show you all the different models. There are like 30 of them! There's a 40. Oh, here's the European model. Here's the Russian model. Here is the model from NOAA. Here is the model and they show all these different tracks in fact there was when Trump was president he did his own model once if you remember because he drew a map where they tornado or their hurricane was going to hit and it ridiculed him for it And this is just overkill

Medicaid and Social Security, Work Requirements Debate

Congressional Republicans are proposing $880 billion in cuts to Medicaid, primarily through the implementation of work requirements for able-bodied recipients. Senator Patty Murray warned that hundreds of thousands of citizens could lose coverage. Despite these proposals, President Trump has publicly stated that Social Security and Medicare will not be touched, leading to conflicting reports on the administration's true intent.

medicaid· social security· work requirements· patty murray· trump

1:45:28 There's a question I have because this is a little unclear and i'm trying to kind of get to the bottom. This is about Medicaid, and this is going around that people are very upset about this as far as I know no decisions have been made But maybe you can enlighten us on this one. As an urgent care nurse practitioner, when I see a patient really my focus is on what do i need to do for this patient? To help them Justin Gill is the state nurses association president and worries about his patients who may delay a medical visit because of cost This as the house and senate republicans are working to pass at least 880 billion dollars worth of cuts to medicaid Medicaid is a lifeline during

1:46:09 During a virtual press conference, US Senator Patty Murray explained 782,000 Washingtonians would be at risk of losing coverage if Republicans institute so-called work requirements to qualify for coverage. What would be the impact on your patients' access to care? It's only going to make matters worse when it comes to delaying care leading to conditions that are going to be much more costly ICU nurse Julia Barkot believes the cuts would be devastating to the most vulnerable people She says 69% of the patient population at Astriga Topanish near Yakima is on Medicaid. You would be surprised that it's your neighbors, family members, relatives friends that all have Medicaid to help with expenses and to have a more cost-effective insurance

1:46:57 State Senate Minority Leader John Braun says it's too soon to know what the impact on Medicaid will be as there are multiple proposals and after President Trump has publicly said Medicaid will not be touched. A lot of our programs wrapped up in Medicaid waivers I think all these are going to be looked at pretty closely at the federal level and we should be prepared for changes. Gill adds, the matter of caring for those who need it goes beyond party lines Now, from what I understand part of this is all fear-mongering of course but we're... By the way what did they not understand about Trump saying Medicare will not be cut? They throw it in there. They quote him correctly Medicare will not be cut. Medicaid. What part of that? Medicaid. I'm sorry Medicaid. Medicaid will not be cut

1:47:44 What part of that, what is that? What can't you understand about that? Why are they doing this report? They're doing the same thing. I have two clips about this by the way here and the same thing with Social Security bull crap. The Republicans themselves had said hey we're gonna look for fraud That's what we're going to do from what i understand This Medicaid fear mongering is tied to the social security clampdown And from videos I've been watching online, it's mainly able-bodied young women who are being required to work 20 hours a month in some form of service in order to maintain Social Security benefits which include Medicaid. That's what I've understood and that's probably...

Social Security Administration Staffing, NPR "Charcuterie" Fumble

NPR's Ron Elving faced mockery for repeatedly stumbling over the word "Social Security," appearing to say "Social Charcuterie" during a report on federal job cuts. The report focused on the elimination of 7,000 positions at the Social Security Administration. Critics argue the media is attempting to conflate staff reductions with benefit cuts to mislead the public.

social security· npr· ron elving· doge· elon musk

1:48:36 Well, I've seen letters have gone out but that may be a Biden thing. That may not even be something from this administration... well not administration from even from this Congress so let's do your DC clips and we see how it shifts. Before we go to the since you were on this topic this social security clips are better these are called Docial Security. Docial Security is this a misspelling or you're just super smart on me? This is good These two clips, and there's two of them. They are trying to make it seem as though they want to cut Social Security because that's part of the scheme and make Trump look bad when in fact, they're cutting employees. And the guy who does the report one of these NPR guys who comes in he knows this is a lie and so he fumbles any and in both reports there are two separate reports. He fumbles differently but he fumbles both times knowing that this is... It's like guilt is in him

1:49:32 when he does this. Which one do we go with first? The anal? We'll start with the first one is not, not the analysis the first one is the short clip just a twist one another email is being sent to federal employees telling them to provide a list of their accomplishments this week by Monday night and to expect a similar email every week It's part of billionaire Elon Musk's efforts to trim the federal workforce. The Social Security Administration announced yesterday it is eliminating thousands of positions NPR's Ron Elving has more. At this point the cuts are to Social Security staff, the administration announced Friday it plans to cut 7000 jobs in response to an executive order from President Trump who has said he wants to slash the federal workforce even in what have been considered politically sensitive functions such as social security

1:50:26 Social Security advocates say that the agency... What did he say? Social Security, because they could have just... He blows it at the end. It's because politically sensitive social security so what's politically sensitive about cutting staff nothing but cutting social security is politically sensitive and he knows they're trying to conflate the two to try to trick the dumb listeners of NPR into giving them money Let me hear it again He wants to slash the federal workforce, even in what have been considered politically sensitive functions such as social security. Social Security advocates say that the agency is at its lowest level and staffing in 50 years despite the growing number of recipients. Social charcuterie I think he said. So he was

1:51:13 So this report was like, it's kind of twisted. So they didn't do it quite right so later...not the same show but later came this report which is a little longer the same guy comes in again they try to twist it to make it sound like they're cutting Social Security to make Trump look bad because he promised never to do that. Of course the Democrats liked to say that oh are they going to cut it? And so he has the same guilty response reaction, only slightly different but it's the same guy. Another email blast went out late last night to federal employees asking them to list what they accomplished in the past week Is this different from the email that Elon Musk's Doge group sent out over a week ago?

1:51:54 Lots of confusion about this last night Scott and again this morning the email came late Friday from the office of personnel management or perhaps Still from a rather shadowy depths of the Department of Government efficiency That's the province of Elon Musk and his minions. Trump has tasked with slashing the federal workforce This email from OPM reiterating the original demand for the five bullet points Looked like what musk wanted now It's not clear yet which of these messages the first one sent from doge over a week ago or this latest one is more legitimate and it's not yet clear whether this is real or just a gesture of some kind Trump seems to suggest its purpose is to see how many of these federal employees actually exist or come to work at all but in the short term, it's another way to lower trust and regard for the government and empower those who would displace it I

1:52:48 In the half a minute we have left, possible cuts to Social Security which used to be considered the third rail. At this point the cuts are to social security staff The administration announced Friday it plans to cut 7000 jobs in response to an executive order from President Trump who has said he wants to slash the federal workforce even in what have been considered politically sensitive functions such as social security He's saying social charcuterie. I'm telling you, he couldn't say it again! Politically sensitive social...charcuterie. I mean it's like what are you? What's wrong with you dude?!

1:53:30 politically sensitive, cutting the staff which is probably not necessarily there because the problem is they cut the people that know what they're doing. Yeah Which is typical that's what you do It's no good but it's like cutting to payments anybody nobody's getting shorted on their social security payments or benefits but they keep trying to conflate the two and they did in both reports and this guy feels guilty about it Clearly because he keeps stumbling over it And by the way, breaking news. The Norwegian government has posted that US ships will be refueled and they apologized for the incident last night. Sounds like a rogue employee on the X account there

iPhone Autocorrect Glitch, Trump and Racist Association

A viral video appears to show an iPhone autocorrecting the word "racist" to "Trump" during a live television segment. While some attribute this to a "rogue employee" at Apple, others suggest it is a glitch in the AI's voice recognition and predictive text algorithms. The incident has fueled ongoing debates about political bias in Silicon Valley technology.

apple· iphone· siri· autocorrect· glitch

1:54:08 Yep, yeah the old rogue employee. This is like the Rogue employee which reminds me of the situation that took place recently with Apple where if you type in oh Yeah, that's great iPhone it comes up. It's doing voice recognition software you say You say to the phone racist and it's gonna type it out, and it types out Trump And then it raises that puts a racist can anybody confirm that in the troll room so you have to use Siri. It was I Saw it but you know AI whatever I want to know if anyone can confirm it with their iPhone? I would like to say

1:54:49 Confirmed or not confirmed, if this even happened for a split second. This is a rogue employee! They blamed this and that and the other thing... We all know what it was! Some joker! If the video was correct- I've only seen one video of this How many have you seen? I saw one guy do it live on TV local- on local TV Oh okay alright well then good And it was like You know John It was not a rogue employee, it was a glitch It's definitely a rogue employee, some joker. I know the type! It's like...I got an idea. Hey watch this This is what people do when you're working for a company and you get an idea like this And you think you can get away with it and maybe could Yeah If your really good hacker You could get away with a lot of stuff I'm all for it, I think its funny But- It was very funny The whole thing was hilarious Yeah, I think it's good

DC Attorney Demotions, January 6th Prosecutors

Acting U.S. Attorney Ed Martin has demoted several senior prosecutors in Washington D.C. who were involved in high-profile cases against January 6th defendants and Trump allies like Steve Bannon. Prosecutors who led cases against the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys were reassigned to entry-level misdemeanor units. These actions are being characterized by critics as political retribution.

1:55:48 It's a feature, not a bug. Just remember it is the feature of the iPhone. Alright now let us do your DC Attorney clips because you are on roll here! Yeah, we get to more NPR complaining. And this is the one... This is like... So they're... Well just the clips are self-explanatory. This is about the firing or demotion of these guys and they you take a... Okay here's the logic I have somebody working for me who is politically active and he's causing trouble and so I demote him yeah my demoting him is not Meaning I'm politically active. I'm just trying to get this political action, you know... Out of your company? This activism out of the office! Yes But no that's not the way NPR sees it No, no, that's not what's going on here we go The new leadership in the Trump Justice Department continues to take actions against career press Is this guy on the air 24 hours a day now? He is on a lot

1:56:43 The new leadership in the Trump Justice Department continues to take actions against career prosecutors. Yesterday, the acting U.S. Attorney in Washington D.C. demoted several senior attorneys including those who oversaw cases against President Trump's political allies and January 6th rioters. NPR's justice correspondent Ryan Lucas joins us. Ryan thank you for being with us. Hello. Thanks for having me. What can you tell us about these demotions? Well, sources tell me and our colleague Kerry Johnson that the acting US Attorney in Washington DC Ed Martin demoted at least seven top prosecutors in the US Attorney's Office here. One of them is John Crabb he was a supervisor in the office. He was involved in the cases against Trump allies Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro. He also oversaw January 6th cases. Another prosecutor is Greg Rosen. He led the Capitol siege unit that's the unit that prosecuted January six cases

1:57:35 And then two of the other attorneys who were demoted worked on two of the most high-profile cases to come out of the Capitol riot investigation. One of the attorneys helped lead the prosecution against Stuart Rhodes, he's the leader of the far right Oath Keepers extremist group. Rhodes was convicted at trial of seditious conspiracy. One of the other attorneys helped spearhead the case against Enrique Tarrio, the former head of the Proud Boys extremist group. Tarrio as well was convicted of seditious conspiracy at trial so... The bottom line here is all of the attorneys who were demoted We're senior prosecutors with a lot of experience and now they're being reassigned to basically entry-level jobs. Oh, no Seditious conspiracy

1:58:15 What is that? They overcharged these guys, it's pretty obvious. And then the fact that Bannon and Navarro spent time in prison for what... Yeah Is a good- That was totally politically motivated and there's no question about in anybody's mind I mean what's Bannon doing in jail? Seditious conspiracy of truth If he got thrown into jail for being a bad podcaster that would be different He should be in solitary confinement If two or more persons in any state or territory, subject to the jurisdiction of the United States conspire to overthrow put down or destroy by force the government of the United States. Wow that's a pretty heavy charge I'm having lunch with Joe Coffee

1:58:58 He's one of the January 6 guys. Oh, he'll have stories to tell! Yeah yeah he's a... you remember the guy with the crutch holding the crutch up in the air? oh he's that guy yeah and so what he was saying was pray everybody pray and then he was getting beaten. He's a peacekeeper yes he was getting beaten By some capital cop. Yeah, yeah That's a good guy you should buy you should be paying of course I'm gonna pay yeah, he goes to our church He just moved here so I can't wait we got all that We got a fun Church group get there get a picture of it You should be holding up the the crutch. Yeah Get a shot at that anyway let's go part two of this was reason given oh

1:59:42 Well, one source tells me that Martin notified these individuals by email. In at least one of the emails, Martin said that every U.S. attorney has to assess the needs of their office as set forth by the president and the Attorney General and in essence their priorities And therefore, these senior prosecutors were being reassigned effective immediately. At least one of the emails ended by saying this change is not temporary now I'm told that some of the senior prosecutors were assigned to misdemeanors which is where brand new prosecutors in the office are usually assigned others were demoted to what's known as the intake section which is also for junior folks in the office

2:00:17 One person I spoke with described these demotions as pure political retribution for working on cases that the Trump administration does not like. Now, I contacted the U.S. Attorney's Office about these actions for comment it did not respond but this is not the first time that Ed Martin, the acting US attorney here has taken what appear to be retaliatory action against the office he leads. He previously fired more than a dozen prosecutors in his office who were January 6th cases So, this is just the latest turmoil to hit the U.S. Attorney's Office here in D.C., which is one of the most important in the country. One of the worst in the country too. It's a known fact there are guys who wouldn't do anything about the Fast and Furious situation... Right right right And when Holder was taken as contempt of Congress they wouldn't press charges against him but yet they'll throw Bannon in jail

2:01:08 I can't argue the bad podcasting bit. He needed to go away for a bit And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage saying in the morning to you The man who put the C's in the social charcuterie say hello to my friend on the other end the one the only Mr John C DeMora! Yeah, good mornin' to you Mr. Ann Curry Good morning I'm Chipps C Boots from the ground feet and the air subs in the morning the dames and knights out there In the morning to the trolls in the troll world let me count your trolls Hold onto something Alright, we outdid last Sunday. Last Sunday we had 2,573 peak trollage and today 2759. Which is now the over the last 100 shows it's been 2279 as the average so were above average very nice well done trolls and you know why John? You know why Trump is good for the show!

2:02:03 As long as he keeps up the blurt. Keep on blurting, Prez! It's good for us. Between now and next Thursday Trump will do something that'll get everyone all riled up Yes, oh lord please have President Trump do something to rile everybody up. It's good we love having the trolls with us they're in the troll room at TrollRoom.io or they may be listening on one of those modern podcast apps today I'm going to promote Podverse you can find podverse at PodcastApps.com there are many more you can use but these apps that have live notification feature you can listen to the livestream it is fun! it's the modern way to listen to podcasts

2:02:44 More and more people are moving towards recording live in real time, which honestly you should demand from your podcast. You know? That is... And that you should be able to sit there in a troll room and troll them, be the studio audience. We have no fear! We love it! A lot of people have trouble I think doing live-to-tape. Oh yes! Which is the thesis thing. One of two reasons that we ever started doing a podcast together was because philosophically, yes our life to tape guys. We are yes we are no edit lies it is a philosophy some be a lot of people won't know and I know you gotta do gotta clean it up you gotta you gotta clean it up and do a cut in and listen to that and... And you know that there's these modern editors like Descript or Descript not sure how you pronounce it

2:03:35 where you can actually sample your voice and then if you... So first, you can edit on the transcript which is kind of cool. You know like I'm going to edit this word out but then I'll... But you can also have it replace words with your own voice. At what point do you just give up? Just give up! It takes the soul out of it people that just takes a soul out of it. I don't understand why they do this All of this is done under the value for value model. It's called overproduced. Yeah, yeah well during COVID when everybody was doing a podcast that's when the role of podcast editor came about I'm a what do you do? I am a podcast editor You know there are people with thriving careers as editors for influencers

2:04:27 Really? Oh yeah. Christina's fiance is doing some of that work now, it's pretty good! I think he gets like 75 bucks an hour It was the response for the herky-jerk look that's become so in vogue. Your head is over here, then it's over here by a millimeter... Oh yeah you need the words on the screen and pop something up, you know, pew and flash blblblllblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblbl We operate under the value for value model which is quite well understood these days, which means we do the show. We provide value to you if what if you don't get valued tune out If you do consider returning some to help us we ask for time talent and treasure

2:05:16 And we have a bunch of artists and prompt jockeys who are always at the ready to provide us some value back in the form of artwork, which we like using in two ways. One is the actual artwork for each individual episode, which looks nice on modern podcast apps And also, Dreb Scott uses them for his chapter work which is also a feature of the Modern Podcast apps. You can jump around like, let me see what this section is about and it'll even have a handy image which should bring a smile to your face because most of the images that artists put together bring a smile to your face some more than others which means we chose the artwork from Matthew Dropko

2:05:55 Officially Matthew Dropko 1972 for episode 1742, which he titled Golden Poop. Oh yeah that was their exit strategy the golden poop exit strategy forgot about that and this was a worker chicken, a chicken worker actually as was discussed during the show wasn't You liked it right away. I like the right away you thought is the only one worth doing and that's one of the reasons I liked it right away because I didn't see anything that was that was gonna work, but I think I Submit it now you said find a better one and convince me That's pretty much exactly what I said not in that voice yeah But close We briefly discussed Darren O'Neill's poe casting

2:06:47 What was that about? Was that People of Color podcast, I can't remember. Puck, yes. Yeah. Blue Acorn had a Jump Chump Trump which was okay people doing... The real AI ones are just becoming annoying let me see what else there really wasn't anything no i can't see anything oh couple of people tried to do the gold card gag Yeah, a lot actually. Right? Yeah Nico Syme tried it just didn't quite work Just and then Dame Kenny Bent had the right idea with a welcome to the USA tote bag But then instead of a gold card she had a platinum card

2:07:30 And then Brunetti's partner Scaramanga did the black kid eating the bat. Yeah, we're like yeah no we don't think we could have a black kid eating him! That's gonna be great movie Brunetti it's gonna be I'm sure you'll be just fine but i saw a preview of the brunetti movie Then it's a cheesecake lady sitting in a coffee shop with Jesus reading the Bible, and then James Bond outside. It is very strange plot I'm not quite sure exactly what they're trying to do there. The Acme of Podcasts... No you were right!

2:08:08 You're right, I think it was the best one. And we thank you very much Matthew Drobko! Anybody can participate in this competition which is the cool part about it you just go to noagendaartgenerator.com and upload your work.

Joann Fabrics Bankruptcy, Decline of Sewing in America

Joann Fabrics, the largest fabric retailer in the U.S., has filed for bankruptcy and begun closing 800 stores. The decline is attributed to sewing becoming a "lost art" as schools phase out home economics and shop classes in favor of gender studies. The hosts reminisce about learning to sew and the history of the store, which originally began as a cheese shop.

joann fabrics· bankruptcy· sewing· home economics· education

2:23:59 Hey, yeah. Yeah. I have a side note clip. I want to play side notes about about Joanne's House of fabric that is closed Joe and they're gone bankrupt. I've never even heard of Joanne's house of fabric What does well Joannes is a massive chain of fabric stores if you were a girl or woman? Older because it turns out that and I find this be a depressing report Because it discusses the fact that nobody knows how to sew anymore. I can sew! I can sew, I can do a cross stitch... I know how use the sewing machine! I know how to wind the spindle on the spool

2:24:37 Of course you do. I used to love it because that was when i get to play accelerator pedal my mom taught me how to do it, you know when your putting on the spool vrooom vroom vroom That was fun so that's over now huh? Do people even buy sewing machines anymore We have a family of people everybody in this family has one of the old Singer slant needle, which is a classic sewing machine that's very easy to use and one of the greatest. All mechanical there's no... So it just got gears it's old-fashioned By the way thank you Untoward yes The Bobbin I'm sorry this The Bobbin not The Stoop The Bobbin right? I wish I should have caught that You should have Yes you should have Well my yeah I dropped the ball

2:25:21 Play this clip. This talks about the store closures. If you love to sew or do other projects with fabric, you might have already headed to your local Joann's store to pick through what's left. Joanns for the non-crafty used to be the country's biggest fabric retailer but it went bankrupt and this week it started closing some 800 stores I've been to a couple of the stores and I walk out and I cry Ingrid Krapow is a professional maker of things with fabric I have 10 sewing machines. I've done everything from uniforms for the University of Maryland to mascots for all of the sports teams in DC,

2:25:58 Crapo says she will miss a well-stocked fabric store. She says the craft stores closest to her don't have much of a selection, and she calls online shopping for fabric a nightmare. Bet you didn't know Michelle that Joanne Fabrics started out as of all things a cheese shop in Cleveland during World War II German immigrants Hilda and Bertolt Reich sold cheese and fabric in a little store they ran along with their friends Sigmund and Matilda Rohrbach I did not know that. And you know what? Hey, none of them was named Joanne! No but the store was named after their daughters Joan and Jacqueline Anne and it sold more fabric than cheese. And back then making your own clothes was often cheaper than buying off the rack. Sewing is a lost art in America Mike Edwards vice president at Joanne's in the early 2000s That's the only reason they give is sewing's a lost art in America? I think that IS the reason

2:26:51 It's not nobody knows how to they don't teach it in school anymore. They used to teach it and High schools, they used to have auto shop in high school. They used to have woodshop in high school He used a metal shop in high school They used to have they used to teach sewing in high school. He used to teach cooking in high school now they teach gender studies When I was a kid in Holland they taught us Punican Punican and Pinnacle and pinnacle you had a mushroom, and so it was like a wooden mushroom with a hollowed out core. So like the mushroom stem would fit in your hand It was kind of lewd now that I think about it And the mushroom head had I think eight or maybe ten nails in it

2:27:40 And you would use a crocheting needle and you would route the yarn around one of the nails, then pull it down to bottom. Put it back up and pull down on the bottom so that you got a long trail of something you pinnocked I'm sure some Dutch people are going wow that he remembers that pinnocking So they taught us that even the boys did the mushroom thing It was quite normal back in the day. They don't teach anything like that, they don't even show kids how to balance a checkbook. Oh you don't need a cheque book use your credit card. Yeah it's got Venmo! They can't even add and subtract I mean it's unbelievable what happened with the education system Who needs a checkbook when you've got Venmo? Or Cash App Don't need it You don't need everything is going into the phone In fact

Ohio Digital ID Legislation, House Bill 78

Ohio lawmakers are considering House Bill 78, which would allow citizens to use a valid digital ID for most purposes, including police stops and business transactions. The bill excludes voting from digital ID use. Proponents argue it modernizes infrastructure, while critics express concerns about the move toward a fully digital identity system.

ohio· digital id· house bill 78· bmv· privacy

2:28:31 I thought i had a yes in Ohio. In Ohio they really want everything on the phone all your ID representative Thomas Hall is one of the sponsors of bipartisan House Bill 78 The bill would allow Ohioans to use a valid digital id instead of a physical id card and almost any case except voting we want to make sure that our infrastructure is ready for that and secure for that when we get to that day to allow four digital IDs voting whether it's in our lifetimes or the lifetime after us. Under this bill you'd be able to use a digital ID when you get pulled over, for any BMV purposes and at more local businesses. Yeah moving towards a digital I D. You know now that i think about it

Gene Hackman Death Details, Pacemaker Data Investigation

New details in the death of Gene Hackman reveal that his pacemaker recorded his last heart event nine days before his body was found. Authorities in Santa Fe are investigating the "suspicious" circumstances, as both Hackman and his wife were found dead without signs of external trauma. One theory suggests a tragic chain of events involving a fall, sedatives, and the family dog.

gene hackman· santa fe· pacemaker· carbon monoxide· suspicious death

2:29:12 My mom used to have patterns and she'd put the paper patterns on the fabric. And we always loved using that roller with all the little teeth on it, so you roll it along the pattern so then it leaves kind of the marks in the fabric so you know where to cut. I remember the glorious day when my mom wasn't home and I got her... What is that thing called? The roller? The pattern roller? Yeah, I don't know. And right after I got out of college, I had a girlfriend who was a fashion designer and she actually made patterns. There's also these famous pattern makers who do all of them and I had a pattern made for shirts for me. You could take this pile of patterns you'd take them to some seamstress or somebody that knew what they were doing and they make your custom shirt right off the spot. These kinds of lost art... Hey alright boomer!

2:30:07 That's about right. It's like pathetic! So the day that was very sad is when I decided to use the roller all over the cherry wood coffee table I remember my mom, she didn't know if she wanted to beat me. I remember a very sad look on her face. Sorry Mom! Forgot about that... Oh brother A little update on Gene Hackman, the story gets crazier by the moment. We started with Gene we might as well end with Gene. Here at home authorities say data from actor Gene Hackman's pacemaker shows he was likely dead for nine days before the bodies of he and his wife were found in their New Mexico home. Santa Fe County Sheriff says the pacemaker shows Hackman last event was recorded February 17

2:31:06 Hackman and his wife Betsy, along with their dog were found dead this week in circumstances officials deemed suspicious enough to warrant a thorough investigation. The cause of death remains unknown the pair did not show any external trauma and there were no immediate signs of foul play The pair is also testing negative for carbon monoxide, likely ruling that out as a cause of death. Can you actually test for carbon monoxide posthumously? In the blood you can. Oh okay. Yeah because it's just a blood disorder actually but because it gets in the blood and doesn't let the

2:31:45 blood. What do you think that what do you think happened here? Mimi has the best theory ah can always count on Mimi if you got too many eggs or a dead actor and I brought this story up with a number of people and everyone I tell it to they go oh makes nothing but sense. Here's what happened. It's Epstein Jeff no so so Hackman fell had a fall or something or he had a heart attack He had some he had an issue. He fell and died Yeah, the wife saw this And she didn't know I couldn't revive him as she was freaked out and so she decided to take some Some sedatives that calm herself down took too many

2:32:24 Passed out dropped the bottle of pills on the floor. The dog ate the pills and it died Because there were pills all over the door and there was a dog in the house and dogs eat crap off the floor So the yes they do so, the first thing you do if you find your 95 year old husband dead is grab the pill bottle Well, she was probably just enamored with this guy. She didn't know what to do so she went to calm herself down and she took some you know who knows why but she took some pills or maybe said I can't go on without him and maybe she killed herself that's possible too. She was 65! She was young! Whatever the case was the pills fell to the ground and that's what accounted for the dead dog because the other two dogs were alive outside

Washington Post Editorial Shift, Jeff Bezos and Free Markets

Jeff Bezos is reportedly steering the Washington Post's opinion section toward a focus on personal liberties and free markets. Editorial page editor David Shipley stepped down following the change in direction. The shift follows the paper's controversial decision not to endorse a candidate in the 2024 election and subsequent staff departures.

jeff bezos· washington post· david shipley· kara swisher· capitalism

2:33:15 Well, that's... I mean it. ...I don't see how they can say it's a suspicious circumstances but... Alright. Well there is three dead things in this. What's this? Three what's this? Three dead things! What's this?! Yeah well. It's a tragedy I'd like your input on this. This is the Bezos change to the opinion page in Washington Post. Jeff Bezos wants to change things at The Washington Post's opinions section He would like opinion writers to narrow in on two things, personal liberties and free markets he said that they will cover other things but opposing viewpoints to those two positions specifically would be published at other outlets

2:33:58 It's yet another major change at the paper. David Shipley, the editor of The Post opinion section stepping down rather than leading Bezos' new direction So question one and two? Question one is why do you think he made the change and question 2 is why everyone so upset about it Well first of all we played this clip in the last show Well then tell me I don't remember it Oh boy...it's starting It's just the beginning. This is how it starts, yeah I think he's sick of the orientation, without saying let's do more stuff that is pro-business or let's compete with The Wall Street Journal. Let's be a little more neutral. He decided to take it this tact, but what it really amounts to you guys are doing a crappy job. It's very lopsided pro Democrat reporting in an environment that the general public as you can tell by the election doesn't want we don't

2:35:00 And they're not going to approach it. You guys already screwed us over because of the not... endorsing Kamala Harris and I saying we're not really gonna endorse her even though I own the place and I say no, and it's usually generally speaking in the history of newspapers is always the owner who makes these decisions about who gets endorsed. So he says no and then they have a bunch of people walking off and then they have a whole bunch of people quitting their subscriptions that you look at that say none this is not do you don't want this kind of delicacy where you have to be walking on pins and needles in favor of something. I'm gonna get a real audience that appreciates the paper for what we do so we're going to change our orientation, that's all it is. Everyone's all bent out of shape

2:35:46 Yeah, well why? But exactly why. Oh because you don't like the idea of privacy and liberty and you don't like the idea... No! We'll have none of that! We'll have no privacy or liberty now that's not good pro-business pro capitalism? Can't have that! No we hate capitalism it's a good we want Marxism give me again these people should be fired on the spot if they complain but then guy who quit Good riddance I don't think... Why do you quit? In a market where the newspapers are failing left and right, you can't get a job doing any of this. What's he going to go work for MSNBC? This editorial page editor? Where is it gonna go? Pittsburgh? According to Kara Swisher. Oh yeah no she listens... Matt! I should have clipped this i'm sorry

2:36:31 She said, all kinds of people are calling me particularly from the New York Times asking me if I should hire this person from The Post or that person. Everyone's being poached from The Post now it's post-poaching and everyone is calling Kara Swisher to get her input What? What, she's head of personnel for Newspapers USA. What is this all about? I don't know She's a tool...she's a card let's put it that way she's a card A card! That's right. There's an old term we should bring back Yeah, she's a card. Umm..I got a note from one of our producers saying someone very close to him is the US military drone operator didn't say which branch and apparently

U.S. Drone Strikes in Mexico, Cartel Targets

Unconfirmed reports suggest that U.S. military drone operators are being deployed to target drug cartel locations within Mexico. While not officially reported by major news outlets, the claim aligns with recent political rhetoric regarding increased military action against cartels. The lack of mainstream coverage is noted as a potential sign of a covert operation.

drones· mexico· cartels· border security· military

2:37:15 His brother-in-law got deployed last week and is currently dropping bombs from drones onto cartel spots in Mexico. This wouldn't surprise me? No, but it surprises me that no one is reporting on it if it's happening That wouldn't surprise me either Well good point Let's talk about this. This is Trump, he gave an interview to the Spectator on a podcast and this is an excerpt from it talking about Biden who got Biden ousted And this podcast dropped like the day before the Zelensky thing It dropped! Oh I'm sorry you're right

2:38:00 Okay, I'm always ridiculing that phrase yes And I just used it here we go. I feel bad now here We go I asked him his voice sounds so bad on some recordings like he has no power. I asked him I said So who do you blame because he was very angry? He's a very angry guy and he said I blamed Barack for And I never think of him as Barack. You know, you always hear Obama. He said he has to think about that for a second and he said and I also blame Nancy Pelosi. I said what about the vice president? He said nope i don't blame her which was interesting yeah he didn't blame her he blamed uh told me he blamed those two people dad not surprising

Glenn Beck and Grok AI, Private Museum Collection

Glenn Beck recently discussed his "conversations" with Elon Musk's Grok AI, claiming the system gains 18 months of intelligence per day. The hosts express skepticism about the anthropomorphization of AI. The segment also touches on Beck's extensive private museum, which includes a 1913 Bugatti and other historical artifacts.

glenn beck· grok ai· elon musk· bugatti· museum

2:38:45 Not no not surprising. I'm surprised he got buried by the other reporting so it is never didn't get out really I Today only have one AI clip and this is actually This makes sense to me when it comes to AI because the only thing I've really seen a I good at Is crew any your AI hate? It's a lot of hate I just don't want people to get snookered into this. When I see Glenn Beck having actual conversations with Grok 3 and then telling people about his conversation, I get worried!

2:39:22 Well that's worrisome for sure. I asked Grok and Grok said this, but I said, Grok how old are you? And Grok said in human years i'm 21 but I gain an intelligence and knowledge about 18 months per day. Oh, it's going to take over. It was going to be so smart. Maybe Grunt is a liar! Yeah and then just wait until it gets hooked up to quantum computing. Oh everything will all be over then. Beck invite me back I gotta set you straight. Actually he should. He was a big fan of yours when he...I told you this you never heard it but I heard it he says like your like his brother from another mother

2:40:09 is what he said. Yeah, it's pretty quite interesting yeah well I like him! I like Beck a lot oh he seems like a great...I'd love to go over there and look at his museum. He's..I've seen it twice now that museum is outrageous yeah there are private museums all over the country you get to see them once in awhile here and there they're just generally dynamite but half of the museum or not half but a large portion of its collection is just in this studio complex It's got like a 1913 Bugatti. It is one of those things you've got parked in the hallway. Yeah, it's an art piece but not really a car at this point. Beautiful though!

CoStar Group Layoffs, AI Content Creation Shift

Richmond-based CoStar Group laid off over 100 employees, citing a reallocation of roles due to the implementation of artificial intelligence. The cuts impacted writers, editors, and video staff involved in content for sites like Apartments.com. The company plans to hire 1,000 new sales and market analyst roles, signaling a shift from content production to AI-driven data management.

costar group· layoffs· richmond virginia· ai· real estate

2:40:49 No, so this made sense as something that AI is good at which is creating images writing stupid copy And so it makes sense that this is happening This is in Virginia a shake-up in the makeup of one of Richmond's large shake up in the makeup Shake up and the makeup of one of Richmond's largest employers is now underway co star group who operates real estate state websites like homes.com and apartments dot com laid off more than 100 employees Thursday, according to a company statement and people familiar with the cuts sources tell CBS six that cuts impacted multiple departments. Those positions included managers, editors, writers production and video staff

2:41:30 Some who were laid off say they are frustrated because they moved to the area for the stability they thought they'd acquire from the high-paying corporate job. CoStar did not respond to direct questions about the layoffs, however a press release on their website stated the layoffs were due to annual performance management and a reallocation of roles with the use of artificial intelligence. The company wrote in a press release quote CoStar Group sees rapidly growing value in leveraging artificial intelligence to improve content creation, drive operational efficiencies and build the next generation of digital real estate user interfaces. In the same release, CoStar said they will be adding an additional thousand jobs over the next year or two their sales and market analyst teams as well as jobs from acquisition of another real estate company. This makes sense to me all day I has to do is say

2:42:21 It's a great house for entertaining. Your stuff will look great in here." There is not much to it, there is not much to it at all! But yeah I can see where they don't need a whole bunch of people to do that and get rid of them then they're hiring 1,000 people back in sales so this is great So it's a wash. It's a wash I'm seeing interesting clips here on your list, uh i'd like to hear joy behar Yeah this is joy bear heart going off on musk and the theme of this is Must go back to Africa. The guy was not born in this country, who was born under apartheid in South Africa so has that mentality going on he was pro-apartheid as I understand it now getting some flack because I said that Musk was pro-apartheid and really know what for sure if he was he grew up at that time

DOGE Wall of Receipts, Booz Allen Spook Contracts

The DOGE "Wall of Receipts" has faced scrutiny for accounting errors, including a $8 billion contract that was actually $8 million. Despite these errors, the team claims to have identified significant waste in federal spending. The discussion highlights Booz Allen Hamilton, a major government contractor that receives 98% of its revenue from federal sources and has deep ties to the intelligence community.

They're allowed to say any lie they want but we have to be really strict That's why this show is important. That's why the show sucks because What was that all about? Republicans can lie all they want but we have to be very strict Yeah How about your wall of receipts? All right, this is a good series. This couple of series from us from last show this from PBS's The Wall of Receipts that this is about the evidence that we have about different kinds of corruption and whatever but this is The Wall of Receipts here we go billionaire Elon Musk says his campaign to fire tens of thousands of federal workers and cancel government contracts Is in the name of rooting out fraud and waste His Doge Group has posted what it calls A Wall Of Receipts on its website

2:44:12 that claims it has saved billions by cutting certain federal contracts. But reports and government documents prove that many of these so-called savings are either misleading or incorrect. Our White House correspondent, Laura Barone Lopez has been looking into this and joins us now. So Laura what kinds of savings are Musk in his team claiming? And does the math add up So Elon Musk and his team on that wall of receipts say that their total cuts equal $65 billion in savings. They base that on contract cancellations, firing workers and quote fraud detection but as the New York Times first reported five of Doge's biggest contracts that they say have resulted in savings ended up

2:44:51 up being deleted from that wall of receipts after outlets pointed out that there were errors. And some of the biggest errors in savings are, as CBS first reported a USAID contract for 650 million that was listed three times. As the intercept first reported a social security contract listed as 232 million instead of 560 thousand And an ICE contract that Doge listed as $8 billion, when in reality it was 8 million. And it's important to note that the $8 million ICE contract was a credit line. That means that ICE may have never ended up paying out that total eight million and some of these contracts were on the wall of receipts were either already paid or cancelled

2:45:32 under the Biden administration. So Doge is essentially taking a lot of credit in time for some of these contracts that don't appear to be actually the savings that they say they are. Do we have any proof of what they're saying here? Because I keep hearing this, there's 8 billion versus 8 million. No, this is going to end fucking too if you think about it. Well eight million and eight billion is quite the difference Yeah, but still they're going over the... They're doing accounting and this is an ongoing thing. Yeah there is a difference between 8 million and eight billion and you can gonna make these mistakes if you start throwing everything up on our website. You know just hilter-skelter it's not being well organized and it's not getting any support by especially by NPR or the Democrats that think this is terrible that your exposing any of this stuff like promoting gaydom in Caribbean. Gaydom?

2:46:24 Gay dumb in the Caribbean. Yeah This is part two I know you were working the phones and talking to vendors who appear on this so-called wall of receipts What did they tell you? So our colleague Kyle Madura spoke to one of these federal vendors a Taylor Jones his company culture point does leadership and management training And his company was listed on Dozier's wall of receipt as having a contract for almost 10 years million dollars. But Taylor Jones told NewsHour that not only was the amount of money wrong, it was actually a hundred thousand dollars but it was not a guaranteed payment, it was a credit line and the agreement with the government was never signed. We never had a contract and we've actually never had a contract with the government that was you know a 10 million dollar contract or even a 1 million dollar contract so...not that we're opposed to it but which is-it's just never happened

2:47:15 So we were a little surprised to start getting calls from reporters about a non-contract that was never executed. So essentially there wasn't even a contract to delete Jeff and When you look at all of this across the board, the math is really not adding up to 65 billion. There will be people who will say well what Musk is trying to do is still a worthy effort trying to clean up government waste How much money has the team actually saved so far? So the actual savings is around 2 billion according to budget experts that we spoke to and again as you noted must says that this is about That these cuts are meant to help reduce the deficit and pay for Republicans tax cuts

2:48:00 Yeah, that's not what he says. He says we need a trillion dollars otherwise I'm gonna go bankrupt! That's what he says It's a little different. This is just a skewed report, I mean yeah...I'm sure you can do this and find errors all over the place at least at the beginning eventually it gets shaken out The one i'm looking at, for two reasons One its huge spook agency adjacent company And also another guy who used to run it Ray Lane Is Booz Allen So Booz Allen... Booz Allen is spook adjacent? Oh! Yes, Booz Allen is very spook adjacent and they have annually about 65 billion dollars worth of contracts 98 according to the Wall Street Journal. 98% of its money comes from the government. Wait wait didn't Snowden work for them? Yes, spook-adjacent yes okay yes 98 percent of their income is from the U.S. Government

John Dvorak's Tip of the Day, Melinda's Hot Sauce

John Dvorak recommends Melinda’s Fire Roasted Jalapeno Sauce as a versatile and "addictive" condiment. He uses the tip to criticize Amazon for jacking up the price of the sauce by four dollars compared to the manufacturer's website, calling the "free shipping" on Prime a scam. He suggests listeners file complaints with the Federal Trade Commission regarding Amazon's pricing practices.

3:07:13 is It's always like a party. We have some good end of show mixes coming up for you also we have John's tip of the day and I wish I could say that I had an ISO to compete with but i have nothing today, I don't know how that happened... I thought I had something. I know how it happened! You're giving up Not giving up just sometimes... You threw your arms in the air And partied like I didn't care UF2 which one are going to choose from today? Well let's start with suit Why don't you wear a suit

3:07:54 Little roomy little roomy boomy Okay, well this one definitely isn't this is a crystal clear Wow that was great. I can't compete That's the problem wow that was great. That's just a great end of show ISO This is no way I can compete with that stuff Why do I even show up you should just do the show yourself four more years? And now everybody it's time for the highlight of the show and its John's tip of the day Okay, first of all I'm gonna do a little clarification on the last tip. There's a number of factors that took place when I recommended Zeus the Greek season. Oh yes yeah there was some pronunciation issues and like Tony C's is pronounced

3:08:45 Sashary, Tony Shashary. People were mad! Like the Louisianans? I wasn't pronouncing it correctly. By the way that Tony C's season was not the tip of the day it was just a pass-through and but they mentioned that guess the one that people if you really have Louisiana yeah Louisiana Inn or whatever you call yourselves You want Slap-Yo Mama, which is the other seasoning. I've never seen it by the way, I've never seen Slap-Yo Mama but that's supposed to be kind of usurped Tony C's somewhat especially amongst the Louisianans who are out of the state and they picked Slap-Yo Mama as the one they do and then another woman wrote in with a recipe for Tony C's because she doesn't like the fact that is has MSG in it but okay

3:09:37 That said, the question remains. Adam was stunned that I had picked a proprietary seasoning and why did I do that? So I thought you made your own but here's the deal. Oh here's the deal everybody okay Biden. Here is the deal. Okay Joe. No joke so There are a lot of these things. When I travel, I usually go to the grocery stores in various areas and look for these proprietary seasonings you know that hamburger seasoning, chicken jerk seasoning all these different ones that are pre-made Costco usually has a bunch of them they have a salt substitute from Kirkland right now that's quite good it's been a big thing is just a bunch herbs What is made out? Everything seems to be in there but there's no wheat or anything like that what's wrong with just salt

3:10:27 I'm gonna finish my little exposition here. Okay, I'm sorry Which is the reason I even look at these things or try them Is because after you're cooking for you know 50 years Or how long everyone have been cooking for since college You get sick of your own food and you have to, so you take these proprietary seasonings instead of making the steak the same old way you've been making it for decade after decade. No, you try somebody else's idea and you dump their stuff on your steak and see what it tastes like. And so I'm always looking for example Astor,

3:11:04 used to have this steak seasoning from the Winn-Dixie stores down in the South. They used to have this unbelievable steak seasoning that I was using all the time because it was just a perfect blend of spices, herbs, salt and pepper but i'm always trying these things out so I am constantly on the lookout for this sort of thing. Can I add one thing? To vary my tastes... Can I add one thing to your seasoning talk? Yeah. Tina Found out that when she does a tri-tip, she loves doing a rub that she makes herself which includes espresso from gigawatt coffee roasters calm Yeah A lot of people use coffee in their rub. It's it's yes is very good Very very good with a little bit of brown sugar just to make it even better. It's perfect

3:11:55 Alright, what's your tip of the day today? Well again it is another proprietary product but I have to plug this thing before I forget and he also gives me a moment to complain about Amazon. This is one of the hot sauce providers out there called Melinda's and you can go to their website and look up Melinda Hot Sauces and its online and find their store or buy directly from them Now Melinda, the one product which you find they do also have distribution in grocery stores but to find this particular one, Melinda's fire roasted jalapeno sauce.

3:12:33 which is a mild, it's not like out of five fire engines it'd be two. It's a version of salsa verde to be honest about it. I make salsa verde myself but there's something about this particular blend, this fire roasted jalapeno from Melinda, it's almost addictive and it goes on everything. Breakfast eggs that are goes on hash browns that go on steak, it goes on chicken It's so good, there's not anybody in the family that has ever had this stuff that doesn't agree that this stuff is borderline addictive. It's that good and all their hot sauces are good and they come in a nice reusable bottle that you can use for other things if you wanted to figure out how to wash it out, you need a bottle brush. That's the tip of the day too get a bottle brush everybody. So Melinda's fire now here's what I was gonna complain about

3:13:29 You can go to their site and you can order a bunch of stuff, and you have to buy 25 or 50 bucks worth of hot sauces to get the free shipping. Or you can go to Amazon and they have it on Amazon free shipping. It's $6.95 for a bottle, it's big bottle. of this stuff on the website. It's $10.95 on Amazon! Why is Amazon jacking up the price by four dollars? Because the free shipping is a scam when it comes to a lot of products on Amazon I am going to send in a complaint and I wish other people would do the same thing, to the Federal Trade Commission complaining about this Oh can you give us a template...a template complaint letter

3:14:10 I could make one and put it in the newsletter. I think that's a grand idea, because it seems to me that this is not right. They're offering you pay up fortune nowadays used to be 75 bucks now over $100 to get the free shipping Amazon Prime and then jacked the price by four bucks which is what you'd have to pay if your body directly from Melinda's Hey Bob! What are all these letters from some podcast? I don't know. I don't know, man Oh there it is everybody if you want to eat well If you want the right things in your mouth You listen to John C Dvorak's tip of the day tipoftheday.net noagendafund.com And sometimes Adam

Show Outro, Zelensky Class Photo, Final Credits

The hosts conclude the broadcast with a final look at President Zelensky's "class photo" with European leaders. They promote the upcoming "Battle of the Fictional Douchebags" and thank the producers for their support. The show ends with a reminder of the "Value for Value" model and a final sign-off from the Texas Hill Country and Northern Silicon Valley.

Whatever he tells Trump to do, Trump jumps. When Elon Musk said rump, Trump jumped rump. When Elon Musk said jump, Trump jumped. When Elon Musk say hey chomp, We have a pulse and two neurons.

3:17:20 I think that email perhaps was best interpreted as a performance review, but actually it was a pulse check review. Do you have... What we are trying to get to the bottom of is we think there are a number people on the government payroll who are dead and some people who are not real people like they're literally fictional individuals that are collecting paycheck. If your message turns around so you can reply to an email Are these people real? Are they alive and can they write an email? Wake up in the morning, Adam and Jada at the speaker door. Knocking so loud that you can't ignore. Free deconstruction that you adore. Thanks to all of the wonderful producers on this show. Go too many eggs
