About this episode

The Trump administration released thousands of unredacted JFK assassination files from the National Archives, fulfilling a campaign promise while sparking a family divide between RFK Jr. and Jack Schlossberg. The documents detail Lee Harvey Oswald's movements in Mexico City and CIA surveillance of Cuban facilities, though reports suggest one-third of the original record remains missing. This transparency move coincides with a new executive order offering U.S. citizenship to South African farmers facing domestic discrimination.

In Brussels, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen unveiled an 800 billion euro defense roadmap and the SAFE fund to transition Europe toward a war economy. Meanwhile, President Trump brokered a 30-day energy ceasefire between Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky, proposing U.S. protection for Ukrainian nuclear plants. In Turkey, the detention of Istanbul Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu on PKK-related charges triggered a 15% collapse of the lira. Domestically, Treasury Secretary nominee Scott Bessent outlined a reciprocal tariff plan set for April, as the FBI investigates a string of arson attacks against Tesla facilities involving suspects Daniel Clark Pounder and activist Alex Winter.

Dr. Peter Hotez characterized the Texas measles outbreak as a hurricane-level epidemic while defending NIH funding for mRNA cancer research. The program also deconstructs the sudden ubiquity of the phrase in this moment among Democratic leadership as a potential NLP anchoring technique. NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams finally returned to Earth via SpaceX after a 286-day mission extension caused by Boeing Starliner thruster failures.

Trump Administration Releases Unredacted JFK Assassination Files

The Trump administration released thousands of unredacted documents related to the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy, fulfilling a campaign promise. The files, hosted on the National Archives website, include details on Lee Harvey Oswald's movements in Mexico City and the Soviet Union, as well as CIA surveillance of Soviet and Cuban diplomatic facilities. Some documents also reveal covert activities targeting Fidel Castro and a disputed 1994 letter allegedly from JFK Jr. to then-Senator Joe Biden.

00:00 Yeah, I saw the fly. I'm not buying it. Adam Curry John C Devorah It's Thursday March 20th 2025 This is your award-winning Kimmel Nation Media Assassination Episode 1748! This is no agenda Suffering a constitutional crisis 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 from Northern Silicon Valley where we discovered that the Aussie intelligence agencies were behind the cover-up of JFK's assassination, I'm John C. DeVore. I'm sorry, I crashed you! You were out of runway... I was? Yeah. You're out of runway man. Sorry about it. Just say I am John C. DeVore and I'll edit it in no one will know the difference Right now?

00:53 I'm John C. DeVorehouse. I have to be honest with you, i really don't care. There's nothing earth shattering...I mean half the people say the Russians knew it they told CIA the CIA didn't know they covered it up The Jews did! It is everything out there Yeah it depends on who you want it Well no of course it depends on what you look at but

01:47 It's like there is no conclusive evidence. Do you mind if I just play the one clip that I have which is from the CIA broadcast systems? Which would be the only ones you'd be interested in, their report for this particular matter. After more than six decades of waiting several thousand new pieces of history now in America's hands They've been waiting for this for decades And I said during the campaign, I do it and I'm a man of my word. On Tuesday the Trump administration released thousands of unredacted files related to the assassination of President John F Kennedy in 1963 in Dallas most of the files are now posted on The National Archives website sharing important details about Lee Harvey Oswald who investigators say was JFK's assassin

02:31 even ones detailing Oswald's movements in Mexico and the Soviet Union months before the assassination. What could be major but won't be what public is expecting, is information that the CIA knew more about what an unhinged character Lee Harvey Oswald was only six weeks before the assassination. Author Gerald Posner wrote the book Case Closed, one of the first publications to state Oswald alone killed the president. He says these files are not a smoking gun but still important I think that it became part of Dallas's DNA It was associated with Dallas in a way that other assassinations have not been According to FBI expert and JFK historian Ferris Rookstool he says quote

03:16 The records paint a much broader picture of intelligence involvement in monitoring, downplaying and concealing critical information about Oswald and the JFK assassination. The FBI and CIA had pre-assasination intelligence on Oswald's activities but chose not to act... ...and later engaged in deliberate efforts to mislead official investigations." Now the CIA is leading us down their path I guess? Of course! That's what you do. I have two clips Okay JFK, this is from NTD. Ah well that is quality guaranteed! The Trump administration releases the JFK files making good on the president's campaign promise and to do correspondent Jason Blair gives us a snapshot of the release I think it's the same guy who I just had in my clip that Jason Blair guy...I could be wrong

04:05 The Trump administration released the files on Tuesday that contain about roughly 60 to 80,000 pages. And some of these files have been released before however there was a lot of information redacted and this batch appears to have much of that redacted information and this is something that President Trump said he wanted. So people had been waiting for decades for this I don't believe we're gonna redact anything just don't redact you can't redact it and you'll make your own determination The files have been released on the US National Archives website, and it could possibly be weeks before we know for sure if there are any bombshell revelations in the JFK case. So far there are new details coming out with a lot of stuff still being discovered. For example, there is information detailing how the CIA went about tapping

04:55 tapping telephones in Mexico City to monitor communications between the Soviets and Cubans at their diplomatic facilities, which these facilities are where Kennedy assassin Lee Harvey Oswald visited in the months leading up to the assassination. There's also instructions detailing CIA operatives on how to wiretap, and there is new info on covert activities in Cuba targeting revolutionary leader Fidel Castro. And there has been some buzz on a previously released note going around again on social media. allegedly was written by JFK's son, JFK Jr., in 1994 to then-Senator Biden. In the letter he called Biden a traitor. Reportedly the FBI did investigate this and wasn't able to confirm that the letter was really written by JFK Jr." I think that was the Easter egg they put in there

05:49 Let's just put a little fun thing in here, shall we? I'm sure there is more than one. A lot of statecraft... CIA wanted Israel redacted! It really is the biggest ever in all show history. The distraction of the week on the woods and the over there We bring out the Epstein files. Oh, no we can't do that Let's play part two of this a court has blocked that part of Trumps order for now still camera Della says the problem is Nobody really understands what illegal te I mean he says nothing about federal anti-discrimination law has changed Yes, oh, I'm sorry it's completely the wrong clip

CHAPTER 02 / 45 Discussion

Jack Schlossberg and RFK Jr. React to JFK Document Release

Kennedy family members expressed conflicting views on the release of the JFK assassination files. Jack Schlossberg, JFK's grandson, criticized media coverage of the documents as "fake news" and defended President Biden against claims made in the released files. Conversely, RFK Jr., the Secretary of Health and Human Services, supported the release while reports on Jesse Watters' program suggested that one-third of the original files remain missing.

06:44 I don't know how that happened. I'm sorry JFK's grandson Jack Schlossberg reacted to the... I was wondering why DEI was in this JFK files release criticizing networks for covering it he wrote on social media quote you don't need to cover the fake and JFK documents story especially when there is so much real news. No, there ya go. And JFK nephew RFK Jr who is the current secretary of health and human services has frequently been a supporter of the release of these files. He has previously said, quote, So you're telling me that there's another tranche yet to be released or will never be released? According to a guy that showed up on Jesse Waters, he says one third of the files are missing. And by the way this Schlossberg character who condemned the JFK Jr commentary where he called Biden and he's a Kennedy I guess, where he called Biden a traitor... Who cares?!

07:52 Well, it's... Why is Schleier... what is he so somebody why is he defending Biden in any situation like this anyway? I mean that just beyond me. The whole thing is kind of dumb. But yeah, it's a distraction but at the same time it's good. It's fun! Oh yeah, there's these threads all over Twitter that go on forever. My favorite is... And there are redactions all over the place! Who are we kidding here? I love it when people throw it into Grok. Come on Grok tell me who killed JFK! He has done nothing. Grok can't even draw a clock face. No but Grok is a front for the CIA. People have asked Grok though

08:34 The documents prove that Oswald was the lone assassin, is what it comes up with. Yeah it's actually I've been noticing this more and more people I respect will say well I looked it up on GROK or I looked it up on chat GPT like I can't talk to you Like, you looked it up on chat GPT. That means it's right? What do you think this is? It's like... Did you look at the sources? Did you just take that for whatever chat GPT said as true? It's concerning I have used these systems a lot and I get the biggest kick out of the fact that if you use more than one in other words You don't ask Grocky, you ask Grock Oh, different answers

CHAPTER 03 / 45 Discussion

Democratic Messaging Supercut and NLP "In This Moment" Analysis

A supercut of Democratic politicians and media figures reveals the repetitive use of the phrase "in this moment" across various political discussions. Analysis suggests this may be a Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) technique designed to anchor listeners in a specific emotional state or signal group cohesion. AI tools like ChatGPT describe the phrase as a tool for state management and mindfulness, though its sudden ubiquity in political rhetoric remains a subject of skepticism.

09:21 You get different answers. And if that doesn't tell you that, well I don't know here why is it giving me a different answer? The question is what are you doing in this moment? What? What are you doing in this moment? Oh, the in this moment. Yes I had that did i get to end this? I got it for you The strength that we have is in this moment Listen to your constituents Center them In this moment But I can tell you there are a lot of people watching his leadership um...in this moment This is THE MOMENT No I think about what's happening uh...you know in this moment What's important is that we meet this moment

10:05 So are these current Democrats the ones to meet the moment? What do you want to see us doing right now in this moment and which Democrats are actually going to stand up against Elon Musk and Donald Trump in this moment. The fight that y'all are exhibiting is not just what the base wants but it's what this moment requires In This Moment Okay, well let's- You got that I have had the same clip You do. That's a super cut of in this moment, what let's try to figure out why? What is this all about? It's about this moment. It is very moment in history, this time it's kind of like in the morning What is the op here? What are they trying to accomplish with by dropping this in this moment into every conversation I mean what is supposed to do... I think its an NLP trick Yeah but what? I don't really know just noticeable In this very noticeable but when I first ran into it as I'm thinking

11:08 What are you trying to do? Are you guys that lost or is it code to show that you're all on the same team maybe. I mean, it baffles me Okay hold on a second...I'm gonna ask chat GPT and they will tell me Ask chat GPT The phrase in this moment can be relevant to NLP Neuro Linguistic Programming in a couple of ways Yes, my what was the question? Oh my question is how is in this moment an NLP of course I had to promise. I just want to make sure we know yeah Coming out of the blue with that mindfulness and presence NLP often emphasizes the power of being fully present language patterns and patterns and reframing They're just throwing that in state management a lot like that

12:01 The concept of state refers to one's mental, emotional and physiological condition. Practitioners often use phrases like in this moment to guide individuals into a more resourceful state by directing attention to their current feelings and the... I think that is true! That is probably what it is That's probably straight from the NLP guidebook. It's like in this moment, so when you're watching anything... Oh my god! What's happening in this moment? Let me feel inside myself I don't feel good in this moment How do you feel in this moment? Maybe Well, in this... I can't figure out what these guys are up to at all Yeah well in this moment, I think the real In This Moment is what's happening in Europe

European Union Proposes 800 Billion Euro Defense Rearmament Plan

European Union commissioners in Brussels unveiled an 800 billion euro roadmap to establish Europe as an independent defense power. The plan includes the 150 billion euro Security Action for Europe (SAFE) fund, allowing the EU to take out loans for joint military equipment purchases. The initiative aims to stimulate homegrown industries, with proposals already surfacing to convert a closed Audi factory in Belgium into a weapons manufacturing facility.

12:51 They have gone collectively nuts. I mean like really all-out warmonger, let's just not pussyfoot around it Let's go let's go let's go. Let's spend the money. Let's go into debt We need the war machine. A road map to rearmament, on Wednesday in Brussels European commissioners laid out their 800 billion euro plan to make Europe an independent defense power 450 million European Union citizens should not have to depend on 340 million Americans. Okay, that's fine! To defend ourselves against 140 million Russians who cannot defeat 38 million Ukrainians. Ideas already tutored by commissioners... How arrogant is that? What did he say?! He said

13:39 420 million Europeans should not have to rely on 340 million Americans to defeat 140 million Russians who can't even defeat 8 million Ukrainians. That's because they haven't used their 20,000 nuclear weapons yet you tool. Ideas already tutored by Commission President von der Leyen in recent weeks the commission believes 650 billion euros could be raised block wide if member states are given more latitude in their budgetary rules and laid out on Wednesday plans for the 150 billion euro security action for Europe or SAFE fund

14:19 The EU would take out loans in its own name and issue loans to member states making joint purchases of defence equipment, an approach aimed at promoting interoperability between member states' militaries. The instrument also hopes to stimulate homegrown defence industries with 65% of funds ring-fenced to be spent in the EU, Norway and Ukraine Companies in third countries like the US, UK and Turkey could benefit too but subject to conditions. Other partner countries entities and products can be eligible for common procurement subject to an agreement with the Union on financial conditions and security of supply. Alright so we get 40% of that roughly 300 billion euros will take it and meanwhile

15:06 Where we heard on the last show that Volkswagen is retooling one of their closed factories to make bums. The Belgians and other car manufacturers, they're like this is a great idea! 57,000 square meters of industrial space here in Brussels is currently at a standstill. But what if this huge Audi factory became a weapons factory? That's the idea put forward by the Belgian defense minister in the wake of European plans to rearm Europe. There's a factory that is no longer in use with an industrial base that is super easy to convert to the defense industry. For example, for light armored vehicles and for other possibilities including drone production many Belgian companies are interested." I bet they are since nobody is buying the cars apparently. They're shutting down but the worst John...the worst came from Queen Ursula

Ursula von der Leyen Promotes "Steel Porcupine" Strategy for Ukraine

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen addressed military cadets in Denmark, arguing that Europe must prepare for war to avoid it. She characterized Russia as being on an irreversible path toward a "pure war economy" and advocated for the "Steel Porcupine" strategy to make Ukraine indigestible to invaders. The strategy involves massive investment in unmanned systems, cyber defense, and military AI to ensure Ukraine's eventual accession to the European Union.

ursula von der leyen· denmark· ukraine· nato· war economy· steel porcupine

16:06 who traveled to Denmark, very strategic of course because what do we know about Denmark? They still think they own Greenland. So she went to Denmark she goes to a military academy and talks to the cadets... She doesn't say cadets, she says cadets And she starts off by saying, what is the best way to avoid war? If you were to give a recommendation. If the Curry-Dvorak Consulting Group were to give a recommendation how do you avoid war? It's not a trick question. I think if you negotiate and try to avoid war...

16:46 open communications between various possible war advocates or not advocates but people that you might have a beef with. Boy, you couldn't have been more off base! That is not how you avoid war. And this historic academy is one of the reasons I chose Denmark to speak about security and to make the case that If Europe wants to avoid war, Europe must get ready for war. You want to avoid war by getting ready for it? Yes! Not quite the way I would have done it but... This is insanity! And Denmark is acutely aware of its own security risks. Poor Denmark. Oh yeah and these poor kids sitting there. Yeah, because Denmark's a small country that you know just gets caught up in this stuff they don't really have any

17:40 At this point in history, they should be like smart money Switzerland which just stays out of these conflicts completely. No instead... Hey we'll hold your beer while you two guys fight! The cannon fodder kids over there Not least because of its unique strategic geography but also because of recent events I'm of course talking about the ongoing war in Ukraine and conflicts in other theaters, but also the repeated and continued attacks on critical infrastructure in the Baltic Sea. And of course, the ongoing competition for influence in the Arctic region including Greenland." Yeah okay so yeah that's why she's there including Greenland...and the war economy is coming back! Of course Russia

18:33 They can't even turn back if they wanted to no way and and we are we just deserting them the security architecture that We relied on Can no longer be taken for granted the age of spheres of influence? And power competition is well, and truly back. Just take Russia We already know its determination to deny other countries their right to choose their own path and now Russia is on an irreversible path to creating a pure war economy. It has massively expanded its military industrial production capacity 40%

19:16 of the federal budget is spent on defense, 9% of its GDP and this investment fuels its war for aggression in Ukraine while preparing it for future confrontation with European democracies. There's no evidence of this! She's making this up as she goes along... And just as these threats increase We see our oldest partner, the United States move their focus to the Indo-Pacific. Well yeah there's that. We're building big beautiful ships. She got that part right! So what exactly does this war economy entail? What are you going to spend all of this money on Ursula? That means

20:00 large-scale pan European cooperation to address gaps in priority areas. That starts with fundamentals like infrastructure, and military mobility. By 2030 we need a functioning EU wide network of land corridors, airports and seaports to facilitate the fast transport of troops and military equipment at the same time we need to invest in air and missile defense artillery systems ammunition and missiles And we have to learn the lessons from the battlefield and the changing nature of modern warfare. We have seen the importance of drones and counter-drone systems in Ukraine, and Europe needs to develop all types of unmanned systems and the advanced software and sensors behind them. The same goes for cyber and using military artificial intelligence or quantum computing.

21:01 You need to put that in your shaggy dog story now. Quantum computing! Oh yeah, that's where your money is going people quantum computing but then the final clip... The final clip is really what this comes down to because it's all just about Getting Ukraine and just making Ukraine European or NATO whatever we want to make it and this strategy Has a name ladies and gentlemen the third priority for European defense is perhaps the most strategic And that is increasing support for you crane. This is what we call the steel porcupine strategy there baby seal Porcupine

21:45 The steel porcupine strategy. Yes, it's the steel porcupine strategy and she will explain. This is what we call the steel porcupine strategy because we may need to make Ukraine strong enough to be absolutely indigestible for any potential invader. You see, if someone wants to eat the steel porcupine then the steel spikes will stick out of your throat and your stomach this is it's indigestible Ukraine will be a steal porcupines so we need to invest in Ukraine strength indeed turns through denial We have done a lot already. We have supported you there in denial all right deterrence through denial

22:28 Oh, man. In deterrence through denial We have done a lot already we have supported Ukraine with about 50 billion euros in military support alone and trained more than 73 thousand Ukrainian troops and our support for Ukraine's accession to the European Union remains as strong as ever But there is a lot more that we can do oh yeah so much more they're crazy John they're completely nuts She wants war. She just wants war! I don't see any other way to look at it. Yeah, that's what she wants. Who... What is the...? How do you get that way? Adrenochrome? Meanwhile let's play this clip before we continue which is the Ukraine energy

CHAPTER 06 / 45 Discussion

Trump Negotiates Temporary Energy Ceasefire Between Russia and Ukraine

President Trump facilitated a 30-day temporary energy ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine following separate calls with Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky. The deal includes a proposal for the United States to assist in running and protecting Ukrainian power plants and nuclear facilities. Media outlets like NPR reported on the development with skepticism, suggesting European leaders fear Putin is using the negotiations to stall for time.

donald trump· volodymyr zelensky· vladimir putin· energy infrastructure· nuclear power· npr

23:19 Fiasco. NTD? Yeah Ukraine now agrees to a partial ceasefire with Russia after President Trump speaks with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky But as Trump says the two countries are on track for a ceasefire overnight strikes raised questions about enforcement of a truce Joining us now live is NTD's White House correspondent Iris Tao. Good evening, Iris. What are the biggest takeaways from Trump's call with Zelensky today? Good evening to you, Tiff. So our long call between President Trump and Zelensky today yielded a few major things. One, Zelensky now agrees to a temporary energy ceasefire after Trump just yesterday got Putin to agree to one also over a long phone call. And two, it might be

24:04 be seeing a new deal coming out between the US and Ukraine. The White House says President Trump today in the call suggested to Zelensky that the U.S can help Ukraine run some of its power plants, and that is to give them some protection of their energy infrastructure. President Trump also discussed Ukraine's electrical supply and nuclear power plants. He said that the United States could be very helpful in running those plans with his electricity and utility expertise American ownership of those plants would be the best protection for that infrastructure and support for Ukrainian energy infrastructure. Here's what I don't understand, the M5M is emphatic about pronouncing Turkey as Turkey-ay Kiev as Keev

24:45 But when it comes to Putin, it's Poo-tin. Poo-in! I'm just pooing... Or as Mark Levin calls him, Putyn. Oh, Putyn yeah that's... I've heard putyn by more than a few people which of course I believe is just a subconscious way of implying its Rasputin, Putyn I have a funny NPR foreign clip which just... Like, it made no sense when I heard this one. Listen to this... Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Korva Coleman Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says he plans to talk with President Trump today by phone This comes after Trump spoke yesterday with Russian president Vladimir Putin

25:39 The Russian leader says his country will agree to stop targeting Ukrainian energy facilities for 30 days. But Ukrainian officials say Russia is still firing drones at them, even hitting two hospitals overnight. NPR's Eleanor Beardsley says that the conversation between Trump and Putin has gotten Europe's attention This is deeply shaking the continent. There's a view that Putin is stalling so he can continue the war and that he's playing with Trump, who Europeans believe is naive has no experience with Putin and wants to peace deal so badly he'll do anything Wait a minute wait a minute you can't have it both ways NPR You can say that he's a puppet of Putin That there's Russian collusion And then say he has no experience with Putin? What... They're contradicting themselves now They don't know what to do

Historical Analysis of 1994 NATO Expansion Debates

Archival footage from a 1994 PBS NewsHour segment features a debate between Henry Kissinger and former Ambassador Jack Matlock regarding the expansion of NATO into Central Europe. The discussion highlights early Russian opposition from President Boris Yeltsin and reveals that Germany was a primary advocate for rapid expansion at the time. Matlock noted that categorical assurances were previously given to Mikhail Gorbachev that NATO would not move eastward if Germany remained unified.

26:29 They're warmongers too. Who is the host of PBS NewsHour these days? What is the format of the news hour? The format is they bring, there's a woman with kind of a multi-culti woman and various guys. Usually the black gay guy. Is it Kpart? No no no no Kpart is a commentator. Oh...is the manhands lady on the news hour? No, the Manhansa lady that's Kirsten Welker. She is on NBC Media Press I found a News Hour bit from 1994 about... now this is about NATO expansion and it was a debate well he calls it a debate wasn't really a debate and the so-called debate is between former ambassador to Russia Matlock and Henry Kissinger

27:32 And listen to the difference in PBS NewsHour from what we know it today and what it was in 1994. First tonight, the debate over expanding the North Atlantic Treaty Alliance to several countries in Central Europe. The debate flared today at the European Security and Cooperation Summit in speeches by President Clinton and Russian President Yeltsin. Since the collapse of communism in Central Europe there have been proposals and debates over whether and how to expand NATO which now guarantees mutual protection for 16 Western nations in Europe and the US and Canada to such countries as Poland

28:14 Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Today at the so-called CSCE summit in Budapest President Yeltsin repeated his country's opposition to that idea he warned of a cold peace and said the world could not be run from one capital A reference to Washington in the US But the issue of NATO expansion has also divided American officials and analysts We take up the story with two of them former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and Jack Matlock, former US ambassador to the Soviet Union and Czechoslovakia now a professor at Columbia University. I found this to be fascinating because it's not even that long ago was it 30 years? 1994? Yeah And these countries hadn't come into NATO yet and already the Russian president was saying hey no no no

29:02 And, uh... but no. That doesn't matter we don't care Starting with you Ambassador Matt Locke The Russians are clearly very unhappy about the prospect of expanding NATO Let's start with this Actually what is the US policy right now? How quickly is the Clinton administration pushing to expand NATO from what you can read? Clinton My understanding is that their position is that the East Europeans should be prepared for NATO and though no date has been set, that the question is not if but when. And NATO itself recently just for background here recently voted

29:37 to come up within a year with the list of sort of conditions for membership or potential members. So, the issue is moving forward as you understand it? Is that correct? The issue's moving forward but we have to be careful not to trap ourselves in an endless waffle when we say the issue is not if but when. The responsibility of national leaders is not to ask rhetorical questions but to answer them So we have an obligation to give some sort of an answer, and the Russians are not unhappy about the timing. They're unhappy about the fact. And therefore we ought to face that as early as possible."

30:17 So, the Russians were unhappy about the fact at all while we collectively were already talking about doing it. But who was really pushing it? This answer was surprising. Well where is the pressure as you understand that Jack Matlock... Where is the pressure coming from for quick expansion inside NATO inside? We know that Certain Eastern European or Central European countries like Poland would love to be a member quickly But where is it coming from with inside NATO? Well, my understanding is that the Germans have been sort of the principal advocates within their ranks. They're joined by certain others and

30:54 I'm one who feels that we should leave the possibility open, that we should make clear that we would back expansion only if there is a threat which needs to be met. In other words, we should use it to pressure the Russians to ease off on the rhetoric and behave in a manner which does not threaten them. Another problem here is that I think it's much more important for the Poles, Czechs and other East Europeans to get into the European Union. This is important economically they need markets and I suspect some Europeans look at NATO as almost a surrogate for doing what would be a more difficult matter for them and that is opening their markets to them

31:37 I thought that to be interesting. That was interesting, in fact well this goes back to this period that was Robert McNeil Yes That was the host there and he...that was during the era when it was called before it was News Hour It was called The McNeill-Lehrer Report Yeah And those are two guys who came from mainstream media over to PBS just set up shops because they felt that the half hour news shows on network TV, which is no good with this and you know good an hour with a little more thoughtful discussion would be better not knowing that giving an hour away like that or creating this our show would after they left both McNeil and crap It turned except during this short period when when I fell was there she kept it in play And then it just became a left-wing bunch of stooges so

32:31 So I thought it was interesting that Europe was cobbling together what they're now completing, the European Union project. And that they really saw NATO, a war machine as a way to get that going. And luckily last clip former ambassador Matlock reminds us that we made some promises about NATO expansion. There is one other factor here that we seem to be forgetting and we did though it was not illegally binding assurance We gave categorical assurances to Gorbachev back when the Soviet Union existed That if a united Germany was able to stay in NATO, NATO would not be moved eastward

33:10 You know I think that the current Russian government is very clear so we would be but but that that assurance was given to the Soviet Union That's their their Their loophole well, we gave that assurance to the Soviet Union not to Russia you see it's a very different thing But it was might say a geopolitical deal and if we simply ignore it Then I certainly if i were a russian it would be hard for me to interpret this even though It may not be intended that way and it is not. And now you can hear Kissinger talking about those pesky Russians they're stopping the American war machine from doing important work As anything less than an attempt to shut Russia off from Eastern Europe That was that was a line that

33:54 that Yeltsin used today, that it would isolate Russia and sow the seeds of discord. But here's a country that has 20,000 nuclear weapons. The possibility that Poland would start marching into Russia is zero And I repeat, this is not in terms of political architecture conceived as a Cold War situation because Russia can participate in the European security conflict. In all the political issues but one has to keep in mind what a weak Russia has done in the last few months when we were assembling forces against Iraq a few weeks ago. When we were assembling forces in Iraq, a few weeks ago? Really back in 1994 already huh yeah of course Russia said no! The Russian foreign minister appeared in Baghdad uh...in a political demonstration that certainly tracked and practiced discouraged any American military move

34:48 on Serbia they have clearly taken traditional Russian positions. Understandably so, but Russia thinks of itself as a major geopolitical player which it has every right to do and I think was two years later that we bombed Serbia yeah, Clinton Was that Madeleine Albright who was then the Secretary of State? It could be. I don't think so, that's the moment where we accidentally hit the Chinese embassy and blew it to smithereens. Oops! Yeah, so this has always been a horrible system and I don't think President Trump is going to get us out of it. I think he wants to keep it. And I don't think you can get us out of it. No

Geopolitical Implications of US-Russia Relations and Globalism

The BBC World Service reports on growing trust between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, fueling speculation that the U.S. may prioritize deal-making over traditional Ukrainian peace terms. Analysis suggests that globalist interests in the U.S. and EU have historically sought to capture territories like Ukraine to prevent them from falling back into the Russian sphere of influence. This tension dates back to the 2014 Maidan revolution and the shift in Ukrainian leadership's trade allegiances.

35:34 And with all this JFK stuff coming out, RFJFK, RFKJFK... The K's. All the Ks. It looks like Bobby Kennedy still sticks by the guns where it's you know He says, JFK pulled us out of Vietnam more or said let's get out of Vietnam completely because there were 75 dead soldiers that were over there and they shouldn't have been fighting but they were. And he was dead a month later. Yeah his commentary... But I don't think there is anything about Vietnam in the JFK drop is there?

36:12 I don't know. I haven't heard anything about it, you said... Let's ask Grok! Ask Grok? Lee Harvey Oswald Yeah yeah that's the guy Alright where do you want to go from here? I have a lot Well Whoa Since your- I'm sorry Whoa You're falling for it I've changed my position in the chair and banged the mic with my fist Oh no So there's that. How about going to, since we're down, let's do the Ukraine peace talks and get that out of the way from the World Service of the BBC short wave. Ladies and gentlemen, the BBC World Service!

36:51 The US has confirmed further peace talks will be held in Saudi Arabia on Sunday but it's not yet known whether a delegation from Ukraine or Russia will be involved. In his call with Donald Trump on Wednesday, President Putin agreed to continue the talks. Our Russia editor Steve Rosenberg says it is sign of growing relationship between the two countries The Kremlin is saying the kind of things we haven't heard the Kremlin say about an American president for years. Today, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov claimed that Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump trust each other and understand each other well. There is another thing that President Trump understands because the Russians have dropped plenty of hints – and that is there are lots of lucrative deals

37:42 potentially for America to do in Russia. Lucrative deals, oh no! But Trump is a... It wasn't covered by NPR says that Trump's a bonehead. He doesn't know how he has no experience with Putin. Putin. Putin. Putin. Part two. Which is fueling suspicion that Mr Trump may prioritize deal-making with Moscow over ensuring a just peace for Ukraine. Oh the just word, a just peace which means... Just. Taking stuff. A just peace. How about just piece not a just piece? It's a just piece which means we take your 300 billion euros

38:23 and uh... we take this side off find you one deal the donald trump has so far failed to convince that it may be able to sign up to is a comprehensive ceasefire the criminal leader has laid down a string of conditions for that including an end to western arms shipments to kiev anti-western intelligence sharing with ukraine Still, the Kremlin continues to praise Donald Trump. On the streets of Moscow though people are more cautious. Tatyana tells me she doesn't like how Donald Trump keeps changing what he says and does. One minute he's giving you something she says, the next he is taking it. Vladimir tells me that he still waiting for proof that Trump will improve relations with Russia. We've been promised things before, he says

39:13 It's almost as if Russians cannot believe what they're seeing. That it is too good to be true! An American president who says he wants better relations with Russia. Yeah, heaven forbid we want good you know decent relationships with somebody with 20,000 nuclear warheads. This is against the entire globalist... I mean when you look at it on the map and you really start to see what the expansion of NATO was and You know you kind of understand that yeah? You know that the globalists on our side and when I say are US EU

39:53 They wanted to make sure that they captured everything that could fall into a vacuum or there could be sucked it back into Russia. And they do and they do that by saying, well Putin wants that which may be true I mean you know he maybe true He clearly wants to do business with them yeah and then Ukraine is just it's like the pearl It's like the perfect little, well not little huge piece of land that they just can't allow him to influence. And that was really the genesis of the whole problem is when Poroshenko decided, you know... He was the president of Ukraine. Said, I think I'm gonna do a deal with Russia instead of with the EU That was the start of it all Yeah and that's where they brought in Newland and John Brennan was over there The My Don thing, the whole thing Had to get everybody out? The doughnuts Were they doughnuts cookies or were they pretzels? I can't really remember

CHAPTER 09 / 45 Discussion

Turkey Political Crisis and Detention of Istanbul Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu

Turkish authorities detained Istanbul Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu and over 100 other individuals on charges of corruption and aiding the outlawed PKK. The move is widely viewed by the opposition as a political maneuver by President Erdoğan to disqualify his strongest rival from the next presidential election, especially following the revocation of İmamoğlu's university diploma. The Turkish lira plummeted 15% against the dollar following the arrests, signaling significant economic instability.

recep tayyip erdogan· ekrem imamoğlu· istanbul· turkey· bbc world service· pkk

40:54 So meanwhile, just we're gonna stay in Europe for another couple of clips. Turkey! There's a turkey mess going on that nobody's done. The mainstream media is not talking about this whatsoever at all. Turkey yay. Turkey yay. How does the BBC World Service pronounce it? Well, we'll find out won't we. In Turkey? Oh no! TV's outside Istanbul University were packed... How is that?! That's a violation of standards I think that's not right. It's the BBC they said Turkey. That's incorrect The following report incorrectly identifies Turkey A as Turkey In Turkey, students outside Istanbul University were pepper sprayed by riot police as they protested against the detention of one of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's biggest rivals. The mayor of Istanbul Ekrem İmamoğlu in a rare display of public anger crowds chanted anti-government slogans while the main opposition called his arrest a coup against our next president

41:53 These locals in Istanbul voiced their outrage. I think these are all political decisions and i'm sure that a large part of the country thinks so there is no justice, there's no law There is always a judiciary that only enforces the decisions taken by the government There is no other explanation for this I am furious That's all I have to say Our situation is not getting any better The reasons are already obvious but of course there must be a cover for this But at a news conference, Turkey's Justice Minister Yilmaz Tunç defended the arrests. I would like to underscore that the Republic of Turkey is a state governed by the rule of law. Everyone is equal before the law no individual or group is granted special privileges

42:40 The Turkish lira plummeted to its lowest level following Mr. Emeloglu's detention, falling by almost 15% against the dollar. Well, Emery Temel from the BBC's Turkish service joins us now. Emery, Mr. Emeloglu and a hundred politicians journalists and businessmen were detained what are they accused of? The Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office described Ekrem Imamoglu as a suspected criminal organization leader He was accused of corruption in tender processes. Prosecutors also accused Mr Imamoglu of aiding the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party, PKK as well and Turkish Justice Minister Yilmaz Tunç said that a total of 106 individuals have been detained into two investigations into terrorism and corruption The wild card here is I think the Gulen network who of course lost their leader

43:37 Fethullah Gulen, he died what? Last year late last year. Yeah I wonder if these people are part of the network No this whole thing is very suspicious that we don't We'll never have any clue as it because the reporting is so They can't even get the name of the country right how can we trust anything Turkey ladies He added investigations will remain confidential Mr. Imamoglu denies all the charges, his wife Dilek Imamoglu dismissed the accusations as ridiculous and manufactured And the opposition says Mr. Umemolu is being targeted to stop him running against President Erdogan in the next presidential elections How much of a threat is he to Mr. Erdogan?

44:23 Ekrem İmamoğlu is seen as the strongest rival to the Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in a future election. As president, Erdogan himself, Mr. İmamoğlu seemed ready to use Istanbul mayorship as the launchpad for the ultimate prize presidency. He's a very popular politician won the mayoral race twice in 2019 and was resoundingly re-elected last year and his Mr. Imamoglu is expected to be named as main opposition Republican People Party's presidential candidate in a primary vote on Sunday, however yesterday his university diploma was revoked this move was largely seen by the opposition

45:05 aim to eliminate him from the Turkish politics because a college degree is a constitutional requirement for a candidacy in Turkey. And Mr. Imamoglu was preparing to appeal this decision, but what happened this morning left him in an uncharted territory if he will be arrested The government may appoint a trustee to the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality To replace Imamoglu and as it stands now, Ekrem Imamoglu will not be able to run in Turkey's next presidential election. I'm surprised that no one... I'm sorry? I was gonna say the giveaway that this is a scam Is the fact they took his diploma away

45:46 The university was told that the guy got a degree. He needed a degree, I guess to run for office in Turkey Yeah yeah, he's had this degree it felt like somebody at University of California called me and said we're revoking your bachelor's degree What? How do you do that? Let that be a warning to you trolls if you troll too hard We're revoking your no agenda PhD and maybe even your Commodore ship Take it away! Oh man. You'd expect a lot more reporting on this from the media because it is a NATO country that's in disarray right now

46:29 It's always kind of in disarray. I'm actually surprised that, like...I never heard this from any other source including NTD. Nobody is covering this except the BBC World Service Yeah well they got to fill the air time somehow You know now there is a vacuum with The Voice of America being gone Oh! Now everyone is going to switch us on Longwave I was gonna clip something, but it's so dumb. It's like oh the Voice of America has 360 million listeners in their audience and I'm like no they don't. That's bullcrap! No they don't you know President Trump is right getting rid of that because they're propagandizing the Americans with a lot nonsense So i think we can't

Trump Executive Order Offers Citizenship to South African Farmers

President Trump issued an executive order offering U.S. resettlement and citizenship to South African farmers who feel discriminated against by the government in Pretoria. The South African Chamber of Commerce in the USA reported that approximately 70,000 individuals, mostly aged 25 to 45, have expressed interest in the program. While President Cyril Ramaphosa has denied allegations of discrimination against white Afrikaner farmers, the U.S. initiative aims to bolster American agriculture with experienced personnel.

47:18 go around... Yes? Well, yeah I don't know where you're headed but i do have one more kind of obscure clip. Sure! Of information that's not being played anywhere else and that's followed by a couple of very strange clips but this is the untold the unreported South Africa news There's another blurt that nobody picked up on. I didn't hear this anymore, you know about this? Is this about the ambassador that we kicked out of? No no not about the ambassador Oh once again President Trump manga making Africa news great again. Manga? Yes manga making Africa news great again. Oh oh manga

47:57 70,000 South Africans have expressed interest in resettling to the United States following an executive order by President Donald Trump offering citizenship to farmers from the country. The South African Chamber of Commerce in the USA says it's handed over the details of those interested to the US Embassy in Pretoria From Johannesburg here is our Africa correspondent Mayani Jones Now, this is the first time that we're getting an indication of the level of interest in South Africa to Mr Trump's offer to resettle South African farmers to the US. For some context on 7 February President Trump issued an executive order accusing the South African government of discriminating against white Afrikaner farmers these are descendants or Dutch and French settlers here in South Africa This is something that president Siruho Ramaphosa has repeatedly denied nonetheless a month later

48:51 President Trump extended his invitation to any South African farmer who felt discriminated against and also offered them citizenship. Following this, the South African Chamber of Commerce in the US says it launched a platform on its website inviting people who were interested in resettling to fill-in a few basic details. We don't know the professions of these people so we do not know if they qualify for resettlement or if they are farmers and this is just an expression of interest These are not people who have applied for resettlement yet but they say that they're interested in this And according to SACUSA around 67 thousand people filled in this form and have expressed an interest in resettling to the United States. Most of them were aged between 25 and 45, and a majority of them had dependents that would be coming to the US." That's a great idea! I didn't know about that. Nobody knows about it. That's a good idea. Those guys know how to farm. Yeah they do. And you know a lot of our young people don't want to farm anymore. They just want to sell their farm

49:53 Yeah, no this is a but again not being could this is unreported I stunned how The mainstream, well I'm stunned there's gambling going on. Yeah but they could use the M5M could use that to say well Trump wants to bring in South Africans... Whitey's! Yeah whiteys yeah he only likes white people. Yes yes Nazis! I don't understand yeah I agree with you that it's a missed opportunity by the mainstream media now then there's this other story which is.. If i can just say the reason why they're not doing it is they understand like we do that Africa News is automatic tune out so... Yeah, so this is going to be the real tune-out door. It's this story okay? This is the uh it's under Cape Town but Cape Town yeah yeah Cape Town So the South Africans have a contingent of people that they sent to a

Physical Assault Scandal at South African Antarctic Research Station

The South African Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment is managing a crisis at the SANE 5 research station in Antarctica following a physical altercation between team members. Minister Dion George confirmed that a verbal dispute escalated into a physical assault, though he denied rumors of sexual assault. Due to the closing of the seasonal weather window, the team remains at the station with support from psychologists as they cannot be immediately evacuated by the Cape Agulhas vessel.

50:48 Antarctic site where they they stay right up and yeah, this is a shit. They were mad didn't they fight break out one? No guy There's one guy there that's apparently gone nuts and he's a psycho and they can't get this if they can't get him out So this is a report from South African radio station and they brought in one of the ministers who does nothing but make excuses for, no we've got it under control. And the guy says it's like totally full of crap. This went on for a long time I only have two short clips of it but you could just goes on and on with this guy apologizing for this whole situation I thought it was amusing. Here we go.

51:41 Dion George, thank you for joining us. Your department is in the middle of a rapidly exploding story that has developed in the last few days but really caught hold in the media literally this morning about SANE 5 our Antarctica research station that South Africa is the custodian and manages and about allegations that one member of our research team down there has been accused of physical assault, potentially even sexual assault. That has – well it depends on which kind of statement and press release or which journalist you read but is potentially expressed remorse underwent further evaluation but potentially also has a sexual assault allegation outstanding we've also heard suggestions from the media that

52:25 members of the rest of our research team felt unsafe and wanted to be evacuated, and then they weren't. Can you just clear up exactly what is going on for all of us who are swimming in too much journalism right now? Yes, good afternoon. Thanks for having me on this afternoon and I think yes we must stick to the facts and also I think that we really do need to avoid sensationalizing the situation. There is in fact a situation that we are dealing with it very successfully what happened was one of the members of the team at Antarctica had an altercation verbal altercation with another member

53:06 regarding a task that needed to be done and that did escalate and there was a physical assault. Not serious injuries, the doctor attended to them and that was okay. Everything's good nothing to worry about nothing to see here yeah Okay, oh this guy that is guy who sounds like a kind of a mr. Peepers character continues What are they doing at that Antarctic base? Are they looking for the flying saucers or they look? They're looking for the ice wall where the rest of those continents of the flat earth is located during this era in this period of time In when it's the worst conditions there usually most these bases are abandoned and

53:54 But they keep a team at this one and the South Africans keep a team. Are they running the earthquake machine? What is happening what is happening down there? That's never explained in the entire report when you mean physical assault was it a punch-up, what was it? I do not know the whole detail of it but it was a physical altercation and There were no serious injuries Okay And that did happen There was no sexual assault, that is not correct. Okay. And there was an allegation of sexual harassment against the same individual and what we've done is we've immediately had our team of psychologists and experts

54:35 on the situation right at the very outset because obviously it's a very harsh circumstances down there and you know, their window has now closed because for returns etc. Although I am considering every... Yes, sorry. Can you just unpack that? Yes exactly because some of our listeners have already said well the Cape of Gallis only goes down at this time it's only in December it's a boat but I know people who've been flown down and I know that the weather changes is there no way to get people out who want to get out because I imagine even if this has been resolved and even if there are psychologists and doctors on the ground or online they are now potentially people in that research team we feel very unsafe working in a small station in a small environment in a small community of people

Roku CEO Strategy and Streaming Industry Shift to Weekly Releases

Roku is testing autoplay video ads with audio on its home screen, a move consistent with CEO Anthony Wood's history of maximizing ad exposure dating back to his time at Replay TV. Simultaneously, major streaming platforms are moving away from the "binge" model in favor of weekly episode releases for shows like White Lotus. This strategic shift is intended to reduce subscriber churn by forcing viewers to maintain paid accounts over several months to finish a series.

roku· anthony wood· replay tv· streaming services· white lotus· binge watching

55:21 Working with our psychologists, it's very clear that there is headway getting made. That's a good story! Headway getting made... That's the story for a Netflix miniseries limited series. Exactly what Mimi said By the way if I may just for a moment I think that the streamers are making big mistakes You know we've been trying to follow a couple of shows And first of all, Roku is now testing autoplay ads on the home screen. Do you have a Roku? You don't have a Roku do you? I do have a Roku. I have couple Rokus but I don't use them because my smart LG TV which was recommended during the tips of the day some time ago has a bunch of stuff built in so I don't use it. Yeah but if you have a Roku box now all of sudden you bring up the home screen where you select your icon for the streaming service of your choice and they got ads auto playing

56:21 With audio. That's interesting, which brings me back... Okay the guy who... This is interesting but I don't know if it's that interesting. It's a little inside baseball. Well you're on the hook now it better be interesting! Well probably won't be that interesting but the guy who is the CEO of Roku had lunch with once And he was, and the reason I had a chat with him because he was the guy who started Replay TV which is the original competitor of TiVo. Yes. And I went to the rollout of Replay TV and his whole modus operandi, his whole idea how you're gonna make money with replay tv which is just basically a DVR... Was skipping the ads! Yeah but his idea

57:05 throwing in more ads in situations where you couldn't skip them. He really liked the idea of now you have a captive audience, let's throw some ads at him that they can't do anything about. So it makes nothing but sense that he would do this with Roku. What's the guys name again? Because he has invited me to his backyard barbecue couple years in a row During the CEO of Roku. Yeah, yeah what's his name? I don't know what his name He has he has a house in Austin and you guys yo, yeah And he gets really nice guy that's what people say I mean just never worry I mean he's like a really nice guy it never worked out is like hey come by on Thursday Thanks for knowing what I do And he would have Willie Nelson yeah, I think his house is probably a pretty big place anyway

57:53 But my general complaint, the streamers seem to have a new strategy. They are now releasing episodes weekly where it used to be you'd get the first three then you get another batch in some cases the whole thing You can kind of pace your own viewing habit Right which is what you want Yeah but they're doing away with that and so basically if you look at White Lotus Which we watched season two and now its season three So I will watch it Now they're turning it into an eight hour movie where, and they don't have like big cliffhangers after each episode. It just kind of ends in the tension is just... It's tension throughout its building up but then you have to wait a week I think its elusive. I know why they're doing it because people would come in get the deal for one month pay for one month cancel right away after they've binged the series they want to see so their trying to stretch people out

58:51 over at least two months or longer. So you can't do the, or the not one month free thing? Yes and you can't... Because that's the idea Yeah, you can't binge I think it's a mistaken strategy and also this episodes just go on and on with no resolution You know if you have an episode you need a resolution with some cliffhanger at the end They don't have that Just like we'll see you next week sucker I don't think it's real. My thing is... That sounds like you have a problem. I don't know, my watching has just gone deteriorated completely because of that, except for a couple shows that I liked. It all sucks! I have two or three shows maybe that I'll watch over and over and there are some network stuff

59:44 nominally good. I think, I still think NCIS is a well-written show that has a good it's compelling and well done other than that the FBI stuff is not that interesting they killed couple of them then we had which brings me to some clips. I need to get into a different into a different Category here you just going on and on with your clips. I just gave you Kate Katika This is the show I gave you I gave you Cape Town I get to do something now Cape Togethers borderline man Well, yeah was we need to talk about the Elon hate?

Democratic Supercut Attacking Elon Musk and DOGE

Democratic lawmakers, including Maxine Waters, have launched a coordinated rhetorical attack against Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Critics characterize the initiative as "the Department of Government Evil" and accuse Musk of illegally dismantling federal agencies like USAID and the Department of Education. Additionally, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz faced criticism for appearing to gloat over a downturn in Tesla's stock price, despite the state's pension funds holding significant shares.

1:00:24 I got clips. Okay, well let me start off with a supercut and it's long so you can if you're sick of it lemme know. Saying on my phone-I don't know some of you know this on the iPhone they've go that little stock app? I added Tesla to give me a little boost during the day. 225 and dropping Elon Musk! You didn't create USAID The United States Congress did for the American people Right And just like Elon Musk did not create USAID, he doesn't have the power to destroy it. And who's going to stop him? We are!

1:01:07 Trump wanting to be a dictator on day one and here we are. This is what the beginning of dictatorship looks like today it's USA tomorrow it's our health care, its social security, its our livelihoods, it's our freedoms so stand up for USA Today! USA Today! Stand Up For USA Today! The newspaper must stay stay around. It's our health care, it's social security, it's our livelihoods, it's our freedoms so stand up for USA Today today so that we can stand up for all of our freedom in the days ahead. This is a constitutional crisis that we are in today let's call what it

1:01:51 The people get to decide how we defend the United States of America. The people get to decide how their taxpayer money is spent Elon Musk does not get to decide We are here to save lives Because that is what AID does and no one elected Elon Musk to dismantle it Finally Maxine waters is back. Who's here? This is like a bank robber trying to fire the cops

1:02:28 and turn off the alarms just before he strolls into the lobby. That is what they are doing, they are dismantling the federal government which will deny the American people to services and their resources that allow them to help raise their families, have a secure economy and a secure future for themselves. I mean it goes on and on and on... Oh keep playing you didn't you said i can stop? Yes! Every time you hear DOGE the Department of Government efficiency, you just remember it is the Department of Government evil. While we're sitting here Donald Trump and Elon Musk are recklessly and illegally dismantling the federal government shuttering federal agencies firing federal workers withholding funds vital to the safety well-being of our communities and hacking our sensitive data systems now we should in no way be cooperating

1:03:27 with House Republicans who want to shut down the Department of Education and destroy Medicare and Medicaid. And we should not stand by as the richest man on the planet gives himself, and his companies huge tax cuts while the American people get absolutely nothing. Doge staffed to carry out this agenda across all these agencies. All right so I have four clips then i'll let you go with your clips No I don't have anything that tops that but I wanted to mention something though This idiot Walz, Tim, Tampon Tim as they call him. He's gloating about the downturn in Tesla stock

FBI Investigates Vandalism and Arson Attacks Against Tesla Facilities

The FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force is investigating a series of violent attacks against Tesla property, including an incident in Las Vegas where a suspect shot and set fire to vehicles at a repair facility. In a separate case, 24-year-old Daniel Clark Pounder was arrested for a Molotov cocktail attack on a charging station in South Carolina. Authorities have warned that these acts of vandalism, often accompanied by "resist" graffiti, are federal crimes carrying up to 20 years in prison.

1:04:07 the pensioners in Minnesota hold like a hundred and twenty seven million shares or some crazy amount. Yes, outrageous number of shares and he's happy that they're losing their ass? Are you kidding me?! He doesn't know what he's talking about but that the attacks on Tesla are interesting because if you just scroll through a timeline you'll see all these Teslas have you know, 20 cameras or whatever it is. I know it's funny! So when someone keys the car then you're on camera and then they're busting people for this and... And I'll get to what I think this isn't a minute but first two quick clips from Anderson Cooper 360

1:04:51 New Tesla safety concerns after another violent act of vandalism against the company. This was a targeted attack against the Tesla facility, the most recent happening Tuesday in Las Vegas police say A person dressed in black shot and set fire to several Tesla vehicles at a repair facility The word resists was spray-painted on the building. The FBI's joint terrorism task force is now conducting an investigation In order to identify the suspect and a motive. Violent acts like this are unacceptable regardless of where they occur, and specifically to those who might think that something like this is justifiable or potentially even admirable we want to let you know it's a federal crime. We will come after you, we will find you and prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law. Justice Department officials announced just days ago that 24-year old Daniel Clark Pounder has been arrested

1:05:42 in connection with the Molotov cocktail attack on a Tesla charging station in South Carolina. CNN has reached out to his attorney for comment If convicted, he faces up to 20 years in federal prison. So this is so out of control and I would have to say the Democrat representatives they're the ones who are stoking this up. Just listen to what they're saying you heard it in The Supercut. They had to take action and there was something called the Tesla takedown call Which is, you know... which we know is like that's kind of like the gay guys for Harris white dudes for Harris Hollywood for Harris. They're doing the zoom calls again and so they bring on this very weak lady who a young lady who was the host of The Call and they bring in a bunch of actors and people telling you what to do and what not to do And this was

Alex Winter and the "Tesla Takedown" Activism Call

Actor Alex Winter participated in a "Tesla Takedown" organizing call, encouraging "grassroots non-violent" protests at Tesla showrooms worldwide. During the call, Winter read from a script accusing Elon Musk of a "Nazi salute" and attacking democratic institutions through his involvement with DOGE. While organizers framed the protests as festive events featuring mariachi bands and music, critics noted the irony of promoting non-violence while the movement's rhetoric coincides with actual arson attacks on Tesla property.

1:06:39 This was great because they bring in Alex winter who has a movie to promote? Alex winter is from Bill and Ted's excellent adventure. Okay, dude Hey, dude And I'm man. I think they have another Like the third movie in the series coming out and so they're bringing all these people in they They bring on Alex Winter, an actor who proceeds to read a script. Um...Alex Winter is an actor director and writer who has worked across film television and theater as an actor winter recently co-starred in the anticipated third installment in the Bill & Ted franchise please welcome Alex Winter

1:07:20 How's it going? Thanks so much, Annie. It's really great to have you here." I like that he says it was very great to have YOU here even though that was HER line. I'm not quite sure where that went wrong in the script but...that was incorrect. Um, Alex Winter! Like most of the world, I was appalled by Elon Musk's Nazi script salute which kicked off his all-out assault on our government. And i wasn't surprised to see people protesting him soon after that there was a protest in early February at Tesla store that caught my eye because only one person ticketing attracted a huge group of bystanders who were also being adversely affected by musk and his criminal actions with doge

1:08:02 Then more protests sprouted up in mid-February, and I decided to protest at a Tesla store in my town. And I expected it to just be me and maybe one other person but when I got there with my little sign there were dozens of protesters and within an hour they were close to 100 I'm a big believer in nonviolent protest as protected by the First Amendment. It's a constitutional right and it's foundational to our work in democracy, and it has been wild to see the tens of thousands of citizens around the world who are now organizing these grassroots non-violent Tesla takedown protests. Grassroots nonviolence? They're like parties we dance in Wait hold on a second... He is not a very good actor No!

1:08:44 Is he actually looking down and reading it? Yes, yes. He's reading off his screen you can see that Oh he is reading off... okay so yeah because it just sounds I mean he's not a good prompter reader either No! This doesn't sound natural in the least It sounds terrible But the fact that he lent himself for this and what they're trying to do is they're trying to calm it down Because they know it's out of control. They know they're complicit when I say that's why there do be emphasizing nonviolent exact grassroots grassroots to grass roots and on my grassroots Non-violent mostly peaceful protests, and it's been wild to see the tens of thousands of citizens around the world who are now organizing these grassroots? nonviolent Tesla takedown protests

1:09:25 They're like parties with dancing and music. One had a mariachi band, we had marching bands another one had Joan Baez playing her guitar and Paul Alto was pretty rad Oh it's all... It's just the party this mariachi bands there's no one keying Teslas There is no one firebombing Tesla There is no Molotov cocktails But you know Elon Musk is a Nazi. I think the Tesla takedown matters for several key reasons One is that it gives many people the means to get out in peaceful protest, to make their voices heard Very important right now And also matters because it helps people learn the facts about the reckless and deadly activities of Musk and Doge That are impacting people directly But as far as actually taking Tesla down? I don't think that's actually on any of the protesters

1:10:13 Elon Musk only has himself to blame for tanking this company. Tesla was permanently tarnished the moment Musk gave that Nazi salute and followed it with his brutal attack on the lives of ordinary citizens. It's all on Elon, there is no conspiracy! There is no well-funded cabal! Yes there is!! It's just Elon Musk who has taken Tesla down Why would you even say that there's no well funded cabal when your literally reading the script given to you by at least a funded cabal? Come on! It's all on Elon. There is no conspiracy, there is no well-funded cabal it's just Elon Musk who has taken Tesla down and meanwhile the protests will continue to grow they won't stop until Musk is stopped that means more people in the streets more people learning the facts about his attack on our democracy more people who aren't afraid of standing up to corruption and bullies there are millions and millions of us and we all stand together in solidarity

Kara Swisher Critiques Elon Musk's "Hustle Porn" Culture

Tech journalist Kara Swisher criticized Elon Musk's management style, labeling his "hardcore" work ethic as "hustle porn." Swisher argued that Musk's tendency to sleep on factory floors is a performative display of narcissism rather than a superpower. This marks a significant shift from her previous commentary, where she praised Musk's innovative vision and creative achievements at Tesla and SpaceX before his acquisition of Twitter.

kara swisher· elon musk· silicon valley· twitter· spacex· narcissism

1:11:11 That's when we win. I think the truly wealthy, many of them Democrats probably more than Democrat then Republican. They just don't want American manufacturing and it you know okay Elon's an easy target yeah you know me i'm not a fan of Elon Musk but he is true your eyes she pretty anti-skeptical about Elon Musk in general but he isn't manufacturing stuff Yes, he is making cars here as well. Yes in China He is building rockets not bringing the Chinese cars here no no that's true That's true

1:11:56 He's making the cars he sells here are made here. So let's check in with our favorite protege Kara Swisher, let's hear how she feels about Elon Musk? Well it is very typical this is how he conduct himself all the time. He always in a state of high drama and high agitation. He did this when Tesla was in big trouble yet asleep on floor factory even though there was hotel next door because it was dramatic He thinks he's the center of the universe, which is really strange. He's very into video games and so I think he thinks he's sort of ready player one. He thinks nothing can happen without his existence. He often used to say if Tesla failed a human race was doomed to me on a number of occasions things like that

1:12:36 So, you know it's massive narcissism with a lot of talent and a lot of PR and a lot of drama. And that is what you are seeing right now the word he likes to use is hardcore which is just hustle porn. It's just a different way they do this in Silicon Valley they sleep under their desks they think this is an accomplishment to show how committed they are it just means they're exhausted You know this is what he does He's up all night I work on weekends That's my superpower Caitlin, I know you work on weekends and so do I. I don't think we consider it a superpower. And stuff like that he wants to... He also likes to criticize people relentlessly about how lazy they are or stupid and you saw that in the New York Times piece the same thing So this was actually quite a mild piece by Kara Swisher but contrast that with Kara Swisher talking about Elon Musk before

1:13:27 He bought Twitter, which of course was the Democrat messaging machine. And so I think he gets annoyed when people don't see the grand vision of what he's doing and what he is doing is incredibly hard What he has executed on has been so impressive in terms of the car and space X just the rocket stuff it really astonishing achievements at the same time and he does have to build a company but you know It's a really interesting situation. I think the suggestions that he is crazy, because he goes on Twitter and seems to be playful on Twitter. People are reading too much into it as Candy Company or various things he is doing. He just messing with people.

1:14:11 having had a number of encounters with him and small tiffs, I've had a number of them. He's just like that and I appreciate it, I have to say compared to a lot of people who are polite to your face not behind your back he is pretty much You know what you see is what you get and this is what you get when you have someone it's creative this innovative and This vision. Oh my oh, my I care what your I see what you were doing to try to move my stuff Who found that for ya that way I came across the the what the old or the new place? That was on Twitter

Elon Musk Discusses Targeted Violence on Hannity

In an interview with Sean Hannity, Elon Musk expressed shock at the level of hatred and violence directed at Tesla, including arson and assassination threats. Musk attributed the attacks to his efforts with the Department of Government Efficiency to eliminate government waste and fraud. He argued that those benefiting from fraudulent federal spending are coordinating attacks against his companies as retaliation for his alignment with President Trump.

elon musk· sean hannity· tesla· doge· political violence· starlink

1:14:52 That was on X. Oh, Musk probably dug it up! Of course he did Now it's so out of hand that Musk went on Hannity-friendly fire to go say what is going on here? Why?! Why do I see people like, I woke up this morning and saw that Teslas were put ablaze in one of your dealerships in Vegas. I've seen this happen all over the country bullets are being fired charging stations are put ablazed Tesla's have been put a blaze. You experienced assassination threats of assassination for you and your family

1:15:29 What have you done that warrants this? Because I see nothing that you have done except help our country. Yeah, it's really come as quite a shock to me that there is this level of hatred and violence from the left I always thought the left, Democrats were supposed to be the party of empathy. The party of caring and yet they're burning down cars there are firebombing dealerships that are firing bullets into dealerships. They're just you know smashing up Tesla's. Tesla is a peaceful company we've never done anything awful. I've never done anything awful only done productive things so i think we just have it deranged

1:16:17 there's some kind of mental illness thing going on here because this doesn't make any sense. I think there are larger forces at work as well, maybe not... That's a great lie! Really? Gambling?! There is some kind of mental illness thing going on here because this doesn't make any sense Forces at work as well. I mean, I don't know who's funding it and who is coordinating it because this is crazy! I've never seen anything like this. There's a second part to this that can be done You actually tweeted out...I'll put on the screen The level of violence is insane It is deeply wrong Tesla just makes electric cars and has done nothing to deserve these evil attacks

1:17:00 You just rescued two astronauts that have been in space for 286 days. They were only supposed to be there eight. You helped the people of North Carolina, Tennessee, California. You have I think the most creative and innovative car on the market. You created Starlink for communications that's used by hundreds of countries You're working on helping the blind see and all of these other things. Is it really come down to the basic you're aligned with President Donald Trump, who also is a friend of mine? And that- Oh blah blah! That you have identified well over $100 billion in waste fraud abuse that our federal government never should have been spending? Is that what it comes down too? Yeah, it turns out when you take away people's

1:17:46 You know what the money they're receiving forgilently. They get very upset and they basically want to kill me because I'm stopping their fraud And they want to hurt Tesla because we're stopping this terrible waste and corruption in the government, and Well, I guess they're bad people Bad people will do bad things Okay Yeah, it's obviously coordinated and we know who it is coordinated by. It's the same people who were calling for violence against Donald Trump before he was president, Maxine Waters... All these people just yelling and yelling and yelling And I think that the Tesla takedown call Is their move to try and tamp down a little bit

CHAPTER 18 / 45 Discussion

Historical Shift Toward a US Service Economy

A discussion of 50-year-old economic documents from UC Berkeley suggests a long-term globalist plan to transition the United States from a manufacturing power to a service-based economy. This strategy intended for the U.S. to become primarily a consumer market for the rest of the world. Current trade policies, including the use of tariffs, are framed as a direct challenge to this doctrine in an attempt to re-establish domestic manufacturing.

service economy· manufacturing· globalism· tariffs· berkeley· trade policy

1:18:41 Yeah, that's absolutely correct. Someone is going to get hurt! You're absolutely right Wow wow this is a moment ladies and gentlemen mark the time But what's interesting Is this idea the subtext of the possibility that globalists do not really want United States to reestablish itself as a manufacturing center Oh I'm convinced of it because that's exactly what President Trump is doing That's what the tariffs are about That's what everything is about They want to keep it in China, Taiwan? When I was a kid... Ah here we go. Nice! Well I think I have uh let me see yes here we go when you were a kid We're in the rocking chair Yeah there we go yeah so when I was at Berkeley I was studying at the business library and this is like 50 years ago

1:19:41 I'm reading in there, I'm reading documents about how the country of America was... This is back 50 years ago. The whole idea is to turn America into a service economy and customers for the rest of the world Yeah, and we're gonna be a service economy. And our manufacturing was designed 50 years ago to start going away so we would be bringing stuff in from here and there you put it together here maybe do whatever you do but the whole country would be a service economy because the globalists see everything they don't see it as you know yeah they'll see any reason in a globalist sense that we should be building anything if

1:20:27 Why? You'd just be a service economy. And if the world was a perfect place, yeah that would be great! If no one was ever going to attack you or try and steal your stuff... Well I mean we can't create an economy that's just based upon me cooking for you, you shining my shoes, that guy washing my car. I mean eventually the money has just been flowing... That's the whole Trump doctrine! That's what the tariffs are about and believe me i think he's really going to put them on and it'll put him on for good or until people come to their senses. I think have a clip about that where is it?

CHAPTER 19 / 45 Discussion

Scott Bessent Outlines Trump Administration Reciprocal Tariff Plan

Treasury Secretary nominee Scott Bessent detailed a roadmap for the Trump administration's reciprocal tariff plan, set to be unveiled on April 2nd. Under this policy, each country will receive a tariff rate based on the fairness of their trading relationship with the U.S. and existing trade barriers. Bessent, a former Soros hedge fund manager, indicated that these numbers serve as a starting point for negotiations, allowing countries to avoid tariffs by pre-negotiating trade deals.

scott bessent· donald trump· tariffs· trade policy· canada· mexico

1:21:16 Yeah, I think this is it. This is from Canada, CBC. And we are going to make the country more affordable for working Americans. The US trade secretary is offering new insight into the Trump administration's tariff plan during an interview airing on Fox News Scott Besant offered a roadmap of what to expect starting next month. What's gonna happen on April 2nd each country will receive a number that we believe it represents their tariffs. So for some countries, the it could be quite low for some countries. It could be quite high. A senior Canadian government source says it is believed the number will be the new tariff rate. Besant said it will be determined on how fair the Trump administration views the trading relationship and take into consideration tariffs imposed on U.S. goods

1:22:07 and other trade-related barriers. He says it will be the starting point for a negotiation. If you will stop this, we will not put up the tariff wall. If you do then we will put up the tariff wall to protect our economy, protect our workers and protect our industry. This appears to be at odds with some of what the president has said before just yesterday Donald Trump seemed to warn that tariffs would be imposed on April 2nd April 2nd is liberation day for our country because we're going to finally be taking in money. In a statement to CBC News, the White House cautioned... How does that contradict? I don't understand what she just said there how does that contradicts? What is the contradiction? We'll back it up and listen more carefully

1:22:52 We will not put up the tariff wall. If you do, then we will put up the tariff wall to protect our economy, protect our workers and protect our industry This appears to be at odds with some of what the president has said before Just yesterday Donald Trump seemed to warn that tariffs would be imposed on April 2nd April second is liberation day for- How is that different from what Besson said? I think what she's implying is that He is that Trump sounds firm with the April 2nd stuff and he sounded like it would may or may not happen.

1:23:32 Well, that's all I can imagine. April 2nd is liberation day for our country because we're going to finally be taking in money... In a statement to CBC News the White House cautioned that details have not yet been finalized saying the reciprocal tariff plan has yet to be unveiled by President Trump but adding that all members of his team are aligned on this policy. Mbesant is an interesting guy besides being openly gay and married never mentioned by the M5M because you know that would kill the narrative. They don't talk about Tammy Bruce's gay, she is a spokesperson for this Defense Department I think or Pentagon. Besides that he also was the guy who worked with the Soros hedge fund

1:24:18 When they broke the Bank of England and shorted the pound. That's right, yes This is the guy who knows how to do it He is a sharp operator Besant also suggested there will be opportunities for countries to escape tariffs I'm optimistic that April 2nd, some of the tariffs may not have to go on because a deal is pre-negotiated or that once countries receive their reciprocal tariff number right after that they will come to us and want to negotiate it down. It has been an erratic start to the Trump presidency when it comes to trade policy. Blanket 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico were threatened, delayed imposed and then paused with some exceptions followed by 25 percent tariffs on all steel and aluminum imports. Trump has made it no secret he does not view the Canada-US trading relationship as fair.

Canada Reconsiders F-35 Purchase Amid Trade Tensions

Canadian Defense Minister Bill Blair announced that the government is examining its $19 billion commitment to the F-35 fighter jet program, potentially looking at the Swedish Saab Gripen as an alternative. This reconsideration comes as trade tensions with the U.S. rise, though military experts warn that operating two different fighter fleets would be prohibitively expensive and logistically difficult. Currently, only 40% of the Royal Canadian Air Force's aircraft are reported as serviceable.

bill blair· f-35· lockheed martin· saab· canada· royal canadian air force

1:25:11 Absolutely one of the worst. He's complained about protections for Canadian dairy, made false accusations about Canadian banking rules, exaggerated and complained about the trade deficit... The list goes on and on While the White House did not provide any detail about a number or tariff rate for Canada it is a frequent target of Trumps anger And Canada is making some weird moves like cancelling part of the order for the F-35 This is very dumb. After a certain number of purchases, then we have options on subsequent aircrafts. Canada has already paid for its first tranche of 16 F-35's to be delivered in the next few years It planned to buy 88 in total from defence contractor Lockheed Martin for $19 billion dollars But that could change Defence Minister Bill Blair The Prime Minister has asked me to go and examine those things and have discussions with other sources particularly where there may be opportunities

1:26:32 to assemble those fighter jets in Canada, to properly support them and maintain them in Canada. That is a very obvious reference to the company that placed second in Canada's fighter jet competition, Saab, the Swedish defense giant with its Gripen E fighter jet which it offered to assemble in Canada. Reducing the number of F-35s bought from the US as much as may feel good politically and play well with an angry public would not be easy Dude... What are they doing? That, I don't think you can just go ahead and oh we'll change this out. Are they going to have sob jets now? Well in fact you'll have two supply chains, different runways... This is the wrong weapons system to reconsider

1:27:21 Retired General Tom Lawson is the country's former top military commander and a former consultant for Lockheed Martin. He says operating two types of fighters is something the military doesn't want to do, it's costly, two training regims, two supply chains and separate hangars Lawson also warns any further delays risk wearing out the current CF-18's. And that would be a further blow to Canada's struggling air force New documents obtained by CBC News show only 40% of RCAF aircraft are serviceable and ready to fly and fight. We don't have war stocks to sustain a fight. Critics have suggested the F-35 should be dropped because it's vulnerable to US interference

1:28:09 Former test pilot, retired Lieutenant Colonel Billy Flynn says the same could be said for all US military software and weapons supply chains. There is nothing unique about the vulnerability of the F-35. Reducing Canada's F-35 purchase could also affect aerospace firms in this country to date 3.5 billion dollars Canadian parts have gone into the program contracts that could be vulnerable depending on the direction political wind is blowing So, I look at the map of Canada and the provinces are very interesting. Particularly the ones that connect to the United States border and there's moves being made – this is a great guy – in Alberta which now does…I think that borders on Washington state?

CHAPTER 21 / 45 Discussion

Alberta Prosperity Project Advocates for Independence from Ottawa

The Alberta Prosperity Project, an organization with over 60,000 members, is advocating for Alberta's independence from the Canadian federal government. Proponents argue that the current federalist structure treats Alberta as a "colony" of Ontario and Quebec, despite Alberta providing much of the country's energy wealth. The group is reportedly considering sending a delegation to Washington to discuss the province's unique economic position under the new Trump administration.

alberta· canada· independence· oil· ontario· quebec

1:28:59 I think mostly BC is Washington State and Alberta's probably over Montana, Idaho maybe a touch of Washington. Let me just see real quick no you're right the border is on Montana but it's connected to us And there's moves being made. What we're proposing to do, first and foremost is to free Alberta from governance by idiots in Ontario and Quebec So I've been involved with the organization called the Alberta Prosperity Project for a number of years Interestingly were now up over 60 thousand members which is more members than the United Conservative Party of Alberta at this point We're...a number of organizations

1:29:46 goal is to educate Albertans on the benefits of independence free of, you know, the structural problems caused by Canadian federalism which has effectively turned Alberta and Albertans into colonized citizens of, you know, or into a colony of Quebec and Ontario which we're all sorely fed up with. So, you know myself and a number of other Albertans have decided that enough is enough. We're tired of being governed by complete idiots and we're at a unique point in history with the newly elected Trump administration to send a delegation to Washington

1:30:28 Yeah baby! We'd have a big foam finger sticking up into Canada. Alberta where all the wealth is right. Alberta's that is the key to the whole country and so far as you know balancing the budget because all the energy they have. Yeah, the oil right? Yeah oil shale oil and everything else a lot of stuff I bet there's interest

CHAPTER 22 / 45 Discussion

Congress Introduces Bill to Expel Illegal Chinese Police Stations

Republican lawmakers introduced the Expel Illegal Chinese Police Act 2025 to combat secretive law enforcement outposts operated by the Chinese Communist Party on U.S. soil. These stations, often hidden within community organizations, are accused of monitoring and repressing Chinese dissidents in America. The legislation would impose full-blocking sanctions and visa bans on officials involved in these operations, specifically targeting the Ministry of Public Security and the Chinese consulate in New York.

1:31:15 Well that ain't got... it's pretty funny. Yeah, well definitely cause a stir he has 60,000 members that's not bad I thought that was interesting oh well you got me on that one mm-hmm Europe okay well let's just take a look at the policing and the Chinese police in the United States and the big scandal is taking place That still going on? started up again because now they're gonna pass some laws, the Congress is getting involved. A group of Republican lawmakers in the House have introduced a bill to combat China's efforts to establish secretive police stations on American soil. Congresswoman Ashley Hinson who sits on the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party introduced the Expel Illegal Chinese Police Act 2025 last week The committee's chairman Congressman John Muellenaar co-led the bill

1:32:10 Joining us now to discuss these latest efforts to combat the CCP's operations in the US is Jimmy Quinn, national security correspondent at The National Review. Jimmy thank you so much for joining us good to have you with us again now first what are these secretive Chinese police stations? What are they doing on U.S soil What these Chinese police stations are doing is they are involved in repression, they're involved in political outreach to US politicians. It's a violation of America's sovereignty what they are insured are these offices that Are set up within other legitimate seeming community organizations that already exist

1:32:48 in the United States. These might be groups for, you know just ordinary people in the Chinese diaspora who want to get together with other people from their hometown. Many of them have been co-opted actually by the PRC and the Chinese Communist Party and these people are forced to set up a police station and you know the claim by the Chinese government is that they're just processing paperwork helping people with their driver's licenses But the thing to know is that these are not approved by the US government. These are illegal law enforcement outposts in our country, in this case, in the middle of Manhattan. It's something that everyone should be wary of. So this one was shut down there might be two more in the country according to some research out there but it's a very scary situation. Only 2? Only 2 left!

1:33:42 That's what he says, but who knows? But the question comes to mind is every time I hear this kind of story... And I remember this TV show, it's on CBS is FBI International. Isn't that an oxymoron? What's the FBI doing in and the shows about various FBI offices around the world? How is that different than this or what about the spy stations Berlin station are these places that the CIA runs that are in other countries how is that different you know just

1:34:20 There's one page that was removed from the CIA JFK file drop and it is The page about the CIA involvement in non-governmental organizations It's now gone. It's gone from the website About how official cover is necessary to enable our officers to work overseas and often hostile and volatile environments That's why CIA uses State Department cover companies, you know. Yeah we do this! But do these Chinese police? Do they wear uniforms and have billy clubs and hats and helmets?! I mean it just doesn't make a... the story just baffles me somewhat because of the fact that we do this everywhere yeah

1:35:17 I know the Chinese, you know they're accused of well the problem with is the Chinese police. They look for Chinese that are over here and then they go find your Chinese. You should be promoting China or something just beyond me. Maybe we don't do that? I'm not sure. Well but... We don't use restaurants as cover that's for sure. Yeah this is good food involved okay let's Part two. And to your point, Congressman John Muellenaar saying quote these stations represent a direct threat to our national security and undermine the rule of law in the United States. What would this legislation do in terms of combating this?

1:35:58 So this bill goes after the agencies and the officials within the People's Republic of China and the Chinese Communist Party who are involved in this program, both here and in China. It would impose full-blocking sanctions on certain officials who are involved in running a police station—typically it is the Ministry of Public Security but But as we learned through the federal indictment of the two men who operated the station in Manhattan, the Chinese consulate is involved as well here in New York. So Chinese diplomatic outposts are involved. There's this kind of alphabet soup of different PRC security agencies' diplomatic arms that play a role in operating the police stations.

1:36:44 So, you know what these lawmakers are trying to do is they're trying to go directly after the people who run this operation and make sure they can't enter the U.S., they can access assets that they might have here or conduct transactions with US individuals So that's very important. And there is also a component of the bill which bans people who are found to be operating these stations from setting foot in the United States, you have these visa bans as well. You know I think the use of the term police station... That sounds propagandistic to me. There are no actual... It's not like there is this shield on the door

1:37:30 and they've got a front desk, and they've got a jail. I mean this is conjuring up images... The guy the sergeant at the front desk! Yeah, and this is NTD of course who hate the Chinese Communist Party But everyone did not use that term No, I'm saying the term was being used purposefully to conjure up images that maybe Yeah, like there's an alien police station in your city that is the Chinese... The Communist Chinese Party is running this police station in San Francisco. I mean you could say a safe house for spies and there are all kinds of different ways you could describe it but police station is very specific. Yeah, I agree 100% with you

CHAPTER 23 / 45 Discussion

Analysis of the CCP "United Front" Strategy in America

National Review correspondent Jimmy Quinn describes the "United Front" as a long-standing CCP strategy to co-opt non-party members into doing the party's bidding. This network is used to track down dissidents, including Uyghurs, Tibetans, and Falun Gong members living in the United States. The strategy serves as the connective tissue for the CCP's "long-arm" repression activities, effectively operating as a malign influence operation within the Chinese diaspora.

united front· ccp· dissidents· uyghurs· falun gong· jimmy quinn

1:38:24 Oh my god, that's two in a show. Hello is this... I do it all the time. This shows we can speak like Capehart and that other guy. Are you John C...? Brooks and Capehart What are you calling me? You're right! You're the Capehart. I'll be Brooks. I'm not gonna be Capehart no-no Now zooming out a bit We hear a lot of talk about the long arm of the CCP where Chinese dissidents human rights activists or members of faith groups and ethnic minorities like say the Uyghurs Tibetans Falun Gong targeted even on US soil. Talk to us about that, how is the CCP effectively operating on US soil? What your viewers need to know is that there's this thing called the United Front it's a concept that the party has run throughout its history stretching back basically to its founding we're talking about the early you know 20th century through the 1930s and it's a strategy that the party has

1:39:19 used to basically co-opt people who aren't officially party members to get them to do the parties bidding. And it just tries to convene people, it operates through them. It's kind of the lifeblood of that entire system where People will, different agencies within the CCP and within the PRC will turn to United Front actors and they'll ask them to do things like hunt down a dissident as we saw in this case where the defendants in the Chinese police station indictment are alleged to have worked with the Ministry of Public Security to find dissidents on U.S. soil." So, the United Front is here. It's dangerous and it's very influential unfortunately and it's kind of a connective tissue for all these malign long-arm repression activities

1:40:14 Very concerning indeed. Jimmy Quinn, thank you so much for joining us. How's it different than a spy? Very concerning indeed well this brings me to something I was hoping would come up We love listening to how people speak in the mainstream and NTD is mainstream of sorts we have discovered the term apophora which is when someone says why and then answers the question There's another one that I bumped up against, which is the explanation for terms like dictator ally. That's a favorite one right now. You know Trumps ally police station is actually another one and it's called emotive conjugation And I had not heard of this term

CHAPTER 24 / 45 Discussion

Eric Weinstein Explains Emotive Conjugation and Media Bias

Eric Weinstein discusses the concept of "emotive conjugation," originally developed by Bertrand Russell, to explain how language is weaponized to influence emotional states without changing facts. For example, the same behavior can be described as "firm" (positive), "obstinate" (neutral), or "pig-headed" (negative). This linguistic trick is frequently used by media outlets to frame political figures, such as using the term "strongman" or "dictator" to trigger specific biases in the audience.

eric weinstein· bertrand russell· frank luntz· emotive conjugation· media bias· strongman

1:41:10 But it's real simple when it's explained and I found a clip of Eric Weinstein explaining this concept which was developed by Russell Bertrand. You're looking for a motive conjugation or Russell conjugation, turns out Bertrand Russell had been here earlier and in 1948 he was on the BBC and he said let's look at the construction I am firm you are obstinate he she or it is a pig-headed fool And that...that was just a moment where i said oh my gosh! I don't realize that I have been given no extra information about the three conjugations that he's gone through. And yet, I feel differently! I like the fact that somebody is firm and steadfast and I dislike the fact that somebody is pig-headed. And then I realized this could actually be weaponized

1:42:00 And as part of an arms race that maybe the newspapers were in fact conjugating President strongman dictator. And so I remembered this very strange phrase from years past, Panamanian Strongmen Manuel Noriega and But who would come up with a construction that awkward and always invariant, and then everyone repeats it? And then everyone uses it. Exactly. Hawkish! He's hawkish! And so what I came to understand is that the big boys don't play around with faking the facts What they realize is we have multiple opinions on everything, but our emotional state selects which opinion and the person who figured this out is Frank Luntz. And Frank Luntz was a Republican pollster in this video of him where he asks people what do you think about

1:42:46 undocumented workers. Oh, you know they're doing a great job and we have to recognize their contribution well do you support illegal aliens? No no they should be deported yeah in an instant and then you can see that the mind doesn't see itself and so we are both for and against everything I love this of course we've seen it we call it out but I never knew what had a term Yeah, it's an awkward term. It's not a good term as a term it sucks Yeah, but like newcomers there's another one we've identified yeah newcomers I'd like to figure out where the what the usage of the false accusation or or false

1:43:39 The thing they always keep using with Trump when they drop the word false. False equivalent? No, not false equivalents... Without evidence? No no I'm talking about when they say Trump falsely claims that election was rigged. Falsely claimed he claims that the right election was rigged yeah He doesn't falsely claim it but they say falsely claimed That construction What what is that where does that fit into the scheme of things and I see it all the time with Trump? Mm-hmm. There's they're always throwing a crazy little phrase in here and there It's like, I think the strongman example is good one Yeah strong man president dictator All those terms we just need to be able look I mean we identify them Yeah, we don't categorize them We just identified as you do exactly exactly

Controversy Over Transgender Access in Deerfield School Locker Rooms

A heated school board meeting in Deerfield, Illinois, centered on a controversy involving a male student identifying as female who was granted access to the girls' locker room. Parents reported that female students were required to change in front of the student, leading to multiple lawsuits. During the meeting, activists defended the school's policy, accusing opposing parents of using "white god" and "white supremacy" to target a middle school student.

1:48:09 But no, you can't just go to the UK for instance. Can't the UK be like okay do you have work? Do you have a sponsor? These people are going to find that it's not as simple as that Then we have the other extreme of these clips and this was uh, this was the trans mom Of a or no a gay mom of a trans kid Or something. I don't know it's hard to say but in deerfield illinois there's this big brouhaha over this boy who's in the who's determined that he's a girl and he shows up in the women's locker room

1:48:49 and got his dick hanging out, and girls don't like that. And so there's been a big fuss made by the moms. Yes! And then the school locked the girls in there saying you have to change in front of this kid No! No! Yes yeah yeah Yeah, absolutely. The school did that? Yeah and there's now all kinds of lawsuits going on We have lost our ever-loving mothers But here is the... Here is what you're dealing with This is the Deerfield clip And this is the woman who comes out and she just lays it on the line How good it is to protect this

1:49:31 this trans girl. the student that's been targeted by a organization that weaponizes religion to push the white supremacist agenda of their cis-white husbands. Targeting a middle school student because of your white god? Yeah. Excuse me, can we pause for a second this is the time for us to listen to hear your viewpoint and we want to hear that so thank you Yes So children that are raised by those who hate vilify and fear monger will hate

1:50:34 vilify and fear monger their peers. So education is super important, sex education is super important and this is just a kid and it's I'm just really grateful to see how full this room of support for this kid instead of the petty women that target him. I'm glad you gave the back story because I wouldn't have understood it And by the way what is cis white? You're cis white husbands. Yes, and you're white God And she also makes the point she said she makes the point that these women aren't they don't think for themselves is their sis White Husbands that think for them it's only reason is going on any of this is going on because of the cis white husbands that tell them

Scientific Study of "Brain Rot" and Smartphone Addiction

Psychiatrists are using MRI technology to study "brain rot," a condition caused by excessive smartphone use and social media scrolling. The research shows that addicted brains work significantly harder to perform simple tasks and exhibit changes in areas related to attention and anxiety. Treatment facilities for Gen Z patients emphasize "analog antidotes," such as playing outdoors and engaging in physical hobbies, to help rewire the brain away from digital dependency.

1:51:23 these dumb women what to do and how to think. This woman, and if you look at her she's all tatted up and she's got piercings there is some creepy kid behind her that looks like a Goth trans of some sort it was just cringe-cringy It is another term I don't like Yeah that is kind of a term I wouldn't expect from you cringey Well you know what it is It's TikTok itself. That is the issue, that is what is creating here's another term brain rot. Katie Page Rosenberg a freshman at the University of North Carolina Asheville recently realized what too much scrolling was doing to her how many hours were you spending on your phone? Oh god probably like

1:52:15 9. I was just kind of constantly on it You may have heard stories like hers before... I wasn't able to focus because i would have to take out my phone every couple minutes But now you can actually see the science behind it. Smartphones have wide reaching changes all over the brain and specifically grows here and shrinks there. Psychiatrist Brent Nelson is applying this new science at Newport Health Care which has mental health treatment centers for teens across the country This is a brain that's addicted to a smartphone These are MRI images from a recent study in Korea

1:52:54 the red indicates increases in brain activity, the effects of smartphone addiction. Do you want your brain to be this colorful? You don't why well because this is showing where the brain is working extra hard compared to a non addicted brain when asked to do actually pretty simple task Yeah I love it yeah I'm really sad at this point that I pissed off the brain scientist from Austin This is the kind of stuff he would be doing Remember that? Oh yeah, I totally remember it. That was too bad for this. You were a bad boy! Yes...I was supporting Trump without admitting i was a Republican

1:53:37 You never have been a Republican. No, but that was his wife she got real mad at me and that's what happened. Alright second part to this addicted smartphone users brains were so colorful so active it made them less attentive and more easily distracted what's now informally called brain rot. What does that look like in real life? Yeah let's take school for example sitting in class and you're trying to focus. They're gonna be looking around, not attending to what the teacher is trying to teach them." Dr Nelson says emerging research points to even greater risks. We're just starting to see these changes and we know they're connected to behavioral changes depression anxiety the dangers are hiding in there social media had really influenced me in a lot of ways

1:54:23 TikTok would kind of push these videos of people popping an edible before school. And I was like, if i do this maybe I'll be cool and then I started self-medicating to deal with that last year she checked into a treatment facility If you hadn't gone to treatment where would you be today? I don't think I'd be here it was really bad Katie had to give up her phone in treatment. There she found other outlets from drawing to playing guitar that helped rewire her Gen Z brain. The key perhaps, analog antidotes reminiscent of another generation. Playing in the dirt drinking from the hose sort of the gen X kind of mentality is shown actually allow folks to recover to feel better to make it easier to kinda go about their day

1:55:17 There it is! Drink from the hose, play in the dirt. Play in the dirt children that'll fix it Yeah, I'm all in on this. I can see it! Well you're talking to the wrong guy No... You have no idea what this is? I create brain rot on myself sometimes Sometimes like a Monday which is when I try to kind of do a little bit of a Sabbath just so that I cant get away with it but at least I don't look at news and I dont.. I am not doing emails on Monday Dont send me an email on Monday Goes to the bottom of the stack

Generational Shifts in Childhood Play and Minecraft

A personal anecdote compares the digital obsession of modern children with Minecraft to the physical play of previous generations. While today's youth spend thousands of hours watching low-resolution block videos and "cheats" on YouTube, older generations engaged with dangerous chemistry sets and microscopes. The discussion notes that many classic toys, like chemistry sets capable of creating "truth serum" or small explosions, are no longer sold due to modern safety regulations.

1:55:56 But then I'll sit on the couch around 3, like let me see what's on YouTube. And then it will be 5 o'clock and I've seen a thousand cop body cam videos... ...I have seen all kinds of things like what did i just do to myself? And it goes by real quick you don't even realize it! It is there isn't addictive quality to it and it rots my brain. Then I need two more days to recuperate so I can do the Thursday show." Well that's interesting I don't know if it's interesting. Baby has been babysitting Theo a couple of times because they've had to go do some stuff How old is Theodorable at this point? I don't know, have no idea. Seven maybe

1:56:48 He's your grandkid. You don't know how old he is! I don't know how old you are This is where you say, he's new...I don't remember. He's new to the family. I don't use that part of my memory for that sort of thing Clearly Don't count on John for a birthday present Theo So the uh...He can watch these...he plays Minecraft He's always yakking about it and I always tell him, I'm not interested. I don't want to hear about it and shut him down. Grandpa! Grandpa come look at my Minecraft. Look at my blocks And its just like terrible game So when he comes over once in awhile his parents have now said no more of this Right I was used to show them if you wanted to be entertained on the television Let me guess Russian car crash videos? Absolutely

1:57:42 He loved those. Kids love watching Russian car crash videos, just a tip of the day. Early tip of the day everybody! And so he wanted to watch some Minecraft videos and the Minecraft videos are all talks about their very... I don't know if they're cheats or whatever it's just so dumb. The characters are just blocks. Low-res blocks, they're just blocks! There must be a 10,000 hours of Minecraft videos on YouTube. Oh yeah! It's a big thing sure

1:58:22 It's unbelievable. I said, well you want to watch Wednesday? I want to watch that one. These points when it's on the screen and I look at it because they have the time in the lower right hand side showing how long we are two and a half hours Oh yeah these streams sure I've seen those I mean haven't watched them but I see him pop up oh my god it's just boring as hell How about this I have an idea here is a grandpa moment why don't you go out and get a huge Lego set He's got Legos. Does he like Legos? Yeah, well then but you should buy him a set like uh You know one of those no we've been by believe me have done that he's been bought plenty of Lego sets

1:59:03 But he loves Minecraft to such an extreme. He likes playing it, he likes learning about it... Likes the cheats I think? Is there like second life where there's all kinds of sex stuff going on in Minecraft? No! As far as I can see just a bunch of block characters wandering around Kicking each other. It just doesn't make sense to me the whole game How about how about a chemistry set do they still make those can you know? They don't I used when I was a kid and real chemistry said that could blow things up And I had sodium pentothal oh you did now yeah, that's pretty cool Yeah, and I and someone said hey That's truth serum so it tasted awful let me tell you that didn't work very well

1:59:47 You have to inject it. And then you had the microscope set of the yeah, I definitely had a microscope said I hadn't came in I Had a real chemistry set when they were real Yeah, and they were dangerous They were this and toxic I had one of those what if he had sulfur in there?

Podcast Production Metrics and Streaming Content Quality

The hosts discuss the "sleazy" nature of modern streaming metrics, where platforms like Netflix and Roku count autoplay previews as views to inflate their numbers. They contrast this with the "Value for Value" model of podcasting, which relies on direct listener support rather than deceptive advertising data. The segment also critiques the declining quality of Hollywood writing, citing recent Mark Wahlberg films as examples of formulaic content.

2:00:30 1927 was our peak. 1927 which is I don't even think, i think that's below average at this point. Average is 1800. No! I'm looking at the averages right now the average of Thursday is 1993 That was oh no there's a last show last 10 shows 2084 The last 100 shows 1904 You're off

2:01:13 But in general, Thursdays are up 4.7% over the last 100... Who cares? Nobody cares! I mean it's like saying how many downloads do you have who cares nobody cares Nobody cares how many downloads, we just care if we can keep the show going. What else would I do? Well, I know what i'd be doing! I'll be watching Minecraft videos... You'll be on the phone doom scrolling. Doom scrolling is very bad. Yeah what do you do when you're not- When you're really not working? What do you do? I'm writing or on doing it, sorting email or trying to clean up my office. Sorting towels, folding laundry... Sorting towels? Yeah, sort of folding laundry or sometimes maybe get in the car and go someplace. Where do you go? Costco. Okay so it's not some places Costco

2:02:13 Yeah. You're doing stuff, well that's good! That's good. Not always I mean sometimes i'm just watching television aimlessly trying to find something worth watching which is not easy to do No no so you watch your series during the day? Not in the evening right? You don't watch tv in the evening? You watch sports? Sports I bet sports... No I don't watch that much sports No, I'm not a...I follow sports but I don't sit there and watch like a basketball game. That's what at home sitting there watching a whole basketball? Forget it! It's the games are always the same wait till the last two minutes and you get to see the game So when your sorting towels do that mean you have to like match the washcloth with the towel or you're trying to make a matching set to hang out? No, no I don't do it thats getting carried away What do you then

2:03:01 Just fold them and put them in a bin it in the drawer. You said sorting you said sort well It's kind of sorting you got to take this, you know because there was towels that go into one drawer And there's tellers dish towels and there's kitchen towels, and there's bath towels or three There's three kinds of things you gotta select him gotta select him Wow you should consider some single-use towels oh Call paper towels. Yeah, exactly! I got those too. Do you have a dispenser? Paper towel dispenser... Not one of those round ones but one- I gotta roll! One of those like in the bathroom where you pull out a brown sheet No, and then I don't know what that is yeah we've been to a restroom

2:03:44 And you wash your hands and then there's a dispenser, and you... You pull out a brush. That's not a bad idea!

I don't need to have a preview automatically play. Because I just want to look at the description. It gives you a little sample, this is free sample. It's all free! It's a sample though...I don't want the sample i want to click to get well maybe they should have us toggle you can turn that off well that would be an idea yeah I'm sure there's I liked it I liked a little sample I'm sure that they're counting that as of you

No Agenda Episode 1747 Artwork and Artist Recognition

The artwork for Episode 1747, titled "Hi-Fi Intel," was created by a new artist, TI Pipple J, featuring a flying Volkswagen bus carrying bombs. The hosts also recognized Gun Monkey, a professional artist and gallery owner who has recently contributed several AI-generated pieces. The discussion touches on the "unwritten rules" of the show's art selection, which include an automatic rejection of "grotesque" or nauseating imagery.

2:07:23 The whole thing is a free preview. Listen to the whole thing! You know, if you don't like it then you should have bailed out long ago And the best part, of course is the donation segment. That's where all the magic happens and a lot of that is the content that comes from our producers themselves But first we need to thank Our artist who brought us the artwork for episode 1747 We titled that Hi-Fi Intel which is exactly what we provide high fidelity intelligence just for you So we do Now this was from a brand new Artist Gun Monkey I think Gun Monkey had been on the art generator for two hours and this doesn't happen very often. It's happened about three times Yeah, but all recent I think since the advent of AI

2:08:12 And this was an interesting piece. It was a flying Volkswagen bus. Of the repurposed factory? Yes, exactly and it had all kinds of US Navy bombs... ...and it had Korean Dvorak bombs Yeah I don't get the US Navy aspect to it but okay fine Well I did get a note from Gun Monkey Oh! Yes and turns out Gun Monkey is a girl I didn't know that. Gun Monkey's a girl? Yes! What did she have to say in the note? Wait, hold on a second... Is this...? Let me make sure i'm saying this right Did we choose Gun Monkey before? No. Well what was the cow art who did the cow art That was also Gun Monkey yeah We chose Gun Monkey two shows in a row Oh and she's new to the thing

2:09:10 Oh, that's odd. Did she did the cow? Yeah! Gun Monkey did the cow? Here, Gun Monkey says I want to thank you for selecting the Cow Art for 1746. I've been listening to Noah Jenner since 2020 after I was hit in... Well, Gun Monkey didn't do this thing This was done by someone else You're right. Who is it? This is TI1 Pipple That's who is the first That's a mistake on my part Yeah what are you giving gun monkey the credit for this guy's work? Gun Monkey deserves no credit No, who did this one then? This is ti Pippel. Ti Pipple people J Oh Sorry ti people J which probably means something in hacks or yeah well I didn't get a note from and it was the first submission because he submitted five pieces the first time ever and He got got a winner

2:10:00 Or she, could be a she I don't know. Could be Well i'm still going to read this note from- I dunno, would you like to try? Side track was gun monkey flirting with you or what's the deal here? Well no, Gun Monkey said that he is a She And Gun Monkey is a professional artist and I wanted to welcome Gun Monkey to the show, even though Gun Monkey has been listening since 2020. And Gun Monkey also owns a gallery gunmonkeyart.com Makes sense doesn't it? Yes So i don't know about people Jay

2:10:41 People J know nothing about but we appreciate people jays the is the one who came in first time because gun monkey has submitted before she wasn't a wonder you're right one off. Yeah, people to people Jay guy or girl Came in first shot and got this is that happens rarely But it has happened before great comes in with five pieces and they and he had two of them I thought were quite good yes Actually, they were all okay but two of them really good and she won the Volkswagen flying bus. The flying bug. Yeah. It's a bus. People J let us know about you I love getting notes from the artists was there anything else that we looked at that we need to discuss? No actually

2:11:27 This was such a clear winner, I think we both determined it to be the... Yeah. I think we picked it pretty quick. Because it stood out! Yes. Oh there's a lot of fun art for today. There is a lot of stuff. A lot of stuff yeah oh by the way people who thought it was good idea to have puking leprechauns and puking Irish No, we're not gonna choose puke art. No! One of the things you have to remember is that we have unwritten rules including grotesquerie. Anything that's grotesque or kind of sickening or nauseating is not going to be picked ever. Automatic fail. Because we don't want people associating no agenda with something gruesome. Don't like it? I'm not gonna accept it

2:12:20 So anyway, thank you very much people J. We appreciate you and we also always thank the people who support us because unlike the download scam which is like oh you know we had a million downloads uh okay how much is that? That's what they say to advertisers You don't even know if people listen to it That's...that's that's the scam right there You know, downloads. There's not much else you can do? What else can you do? Yeah there is nothing else to be done. Can't be done! Nothing else to be done So that's why podcasting is a problem That's why it's all moving to YouTube Because you get 30 seconds of view time Boom!

Executive Producer Donations and Musical Notation Mystery

Top executive producer Sironimus of Dogpatch contributed a significant donation along with a cryptic note containing musical notation. Trolls and AI analysis suggest the notes correspond to the fourth movement of Beethoven's Symphony No. 9, also known as "Ode to Joy," which serves as the European Union's anthem. The donation segment also includes a Ramadan greeting and a discussion regarding a discrepancy in the recorded donation amount.

I know and some are just pure puzzling We thank everybody $50 and above and we make special mention of our executive and associate executive producers These are people who donate two hundred dollars and above and that means you become an associate executive producer That's a real credit You can use it anywhere credits are recognized Hollywood style and will read your note three hundred dollars in the above

And back with a vengeance is Sironimus of Dogpatch in Lower Slobovia our top executive producer today with 3352 bringing home the bacon for us I'm sure there was at least one $2 bill in there? Well two good $2 bills, 3354. I have 3352 on my note here Oh, it says 3354 on the spreadsheet. Okay this is very important because if we get the code wrong someone's gonna die so written up written on the note is three three five two On the spreadsheet she put three through this J has to be Responsible for well here's what okay? I'm at here's what normally here's what happens We're very concerned about this no kidding

2:14:52 So usually the anonymous donation comes in, I count it and keep the... There's the first weak spot. No! I count it and then I have somebody else counted so two people counted and you get a number And if the number matches that's the number we use In this case, I never counted it this time because i was cooking or something. I had something going on. Sorting towels? I was sorting towels and so we have this problem... Well hold on do you recall there being more than one two dollar bill? I'd have to go look in the drawer next to your phone

2:15:32 Next to the phone now everyone knows where the money is kept We're running this show out of John's drawer, okay Laughably that's closer to truth Here is a drawer that has money in it I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I don't know what to say So the people out there that need this code, it's either 3352... They're going to have to try both these numbers and see what happens. From Sironimus of Dogpatch in Lower Slobovia thank you to all producers for their ongoing effort to make this a primary news and information source! Also thank you to producers offering insight on algorithms and attribution capacity John's Oasis column And John & Adam's willingness to read a long note

2:16:23 Can you do it again and hold it? We'll read his long note. Well, and then he posted four... He posted some music notation Yes I was told about this And are you looking at the notes because I'm looking at it So its 4... Not bars, but there's anybody read this musical. Do you have a good instrument there? You can play those four notes It's the same note every single time but it's one is like da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da

2:17:03 And then the second line is, duh-duh-duh-duh. What does it sound like? Does it sound like anything to you yet? No I have no idea what this... and then he'll tell us and there will be something that we go oh duh! But then he also has two three pieces highlighted in yellow Yes, I don't understand that either. This is uh... He's gone out of his way to confuse us It's a problem! It's a real problem You know what i'm gonna do here? I have an idea here Hold on a second So he's musical Well maybe he is That's an interesting point Let me see if I can post this into the troll room Yeah so if anybody out there can play these notes or this The trolls have it And it says 2730

2:17:53 33 I don't know any what this means anyway He he does close it by saying Ramadan we will fight before all the before the show ends in four years We will have this figured out a Ramadan Mubarak may this Ramadan cleanse your soul and bring you closer to the Almighty. He closes no jingles No karma And the trolls are now speculating in their typical stupid troll way. So we'll never get a straight answer, good was it good idea? What how stupid am I all right thank you very much seronomist please let us know if we got this number correct it's on the note is scribbled 3352

Attendees can simply plunk down bits of cash into the center of the table you have Brunetti-esque big boy forever credit before you can say phony ISO Yes, a lot of people are complaining They're saying your phony isos are phony because an ISO is short for isolated clip that does not mean AI Generated clip so it's unfair what you're doing

2:24:50 It should also be noted that Adam, since something was amiss after three and a half months at the very beginning of the ISO gate, but John gaslit him by falsely claiming they were coming from audio books. And it wasn't early... Hold on! Stop! It wasn't a false claim you claimed it No well there's the use of false claim Yeah exactly But it wasn't right away when I, it was after about a month before he decided that to call me out on these clips and thats when I gas lit him if you want to put it that way. Yes! Yes! I would use the term bullshitted him with the idea that they came from an audio book because it made nothing but sense because they were very crisp and clear And it sounded like an audiobook person

2:25:44 Anyway, he continues love is lit sir Scott the Jew and North Idaho Sanity Brigade. Yes and I got a post note asking the North Idaho Sanity Brigade requested a doo-doo...I'm all tongue tied today You got it? You hanging in there A de-douching for Jack Kramer!

Oh yeah of course he sent it to AI Good idea

Producer Notes and Global Meetup Reports

Producers from around the world, including Osaka, Japan, and La Jolla, California, sent in donations and promotional notes for their local businesses. The segment highlights the importance of meetups for generating community support and shrinking the "amygdala" of listeners. Notable contributions came from La Jolla Salt Corporation and Gigawatt Coffee Roasters, both of whom offer discounts to the "No Agenda" community.

2:28:58 Blockman Bing! Oh yeah? That is the guy whose note we read who was complaining about us. That's right. Calling us out for all kinds of things, turns out he lives in New Jersey, Tinton Falls and he says... Ah it makes nothing but sense Long time boner first-time donor Not well not the first time complainer I've been listening since Adam was on Twit in 2010 But they only started listening religiously since COVID I used to love the chemtrails and trains good jingles. I could get those at de-douching and goat karma, please." I thought there was more to this note? Did this note get redacted? Not that I know of... And I'm wondering whether this is the same guy or he's just someone using the name Hold on a second because i remember this note was longer Is Jay editing? No doesn't do that Here it's a very long note

2:29:57 Yes, side notes. This is interesting and I'm glad that I caught this because the side notes are interesting. That was that was the same guy. Yes, that was my accusation by the way I'll take full credit for calling him a drive-by you are correct? I have emails with Adam dating back to 2010 when I started listening And then he says, useful idiot is a term that... because he called us useful idiots for Israel. Useful idiot is a term that harkens back to the Cold War to reference non-Commies doing the propaganda legwork for Commies yeah? Yeah there used to be a podcast called The Useful Idiots and Matt Tabey used to do this. This is relevant today in non Israelis defending Israel by not calling out their crimes against humanity

2:30:57 You see, I think that is a problem. You cannot say we are defending anybody because we're not calling someone out for their crimes against humanity because then you never stop so we're defending thousands of people... Yeah it's negative We're defending thousands of people being killed in Syria. We're defending the killing of people in Somalia Oakland for that matter. Yeah, Oakland! Yes we are pro-death in Oakland No you can't do that You can't do that So I take some exception with that Anyway...I'm glad I got the rest of your note And so he wanted a chemtrails Which i hadn't seen obviously Chemtrails

Never would've heard of him but he'd still be driving by just shooting spitballs La Jolla Salt Corporation in La Jolla California Didn't you get some of their product? I got some of their products.

Resumes, Pizzerias, and the "Twilight Zone" Coincidence

A listener from Cannon Beach, Oregon, shared a "Twilight Zone" experience where the podcast audio seemed to respond directly to his real-life actions while walking his dog. Other producer notes include the opening of a second pizzeria, Violetta, in West Oakland, and professional resume services offered by Linda Liu. The segment concludes the executive producer reads for the episode, emphasizing the diverse professional backgrounds of the show's supporters.

Dale J Thompson, Cannon Beach Oregon $200 our final associate executive producers and he wrote quite a note but he says when did No Agenda show morph into the Twilight Zone? I have a strange account to relate what happened to me this last Sunday afternoon as our illustrious previous occupant would say true story no joke

2:43:42 Almost every Sunday afternoon you can usually find me taking my dog on a long walk around my fair burg while I listen to my favorite podcast. This past Sunday was no exception and most of the time i'm listening to the podcast that was recorded that very day this past sunday wasn't exception because i was catching up with the previous thursday show So then he goes on, he says about 45 minutes into the walk at the 1 hour 36 mark in my show when my headphones started acting up. He pulled out his cell phone tried to fix it. He's using both hands The dog is impatient so you get the headphones plugged back in and hits play on this phone but the sound is coming out of the cellphone speaker instead of the headphone so its fiddling with it some more My impatient dog is yanking on a leash and then he yells at the dog Hey stop!

2:44:29 And now for the strange part. Right after I yelled at my dog, what should come out of Adam's mouth in the middle of the clip but... Did you say something? No it was the clip! I thought someone said hey stop!! This was at 1 hour 36 and 37 second mark. Hmmmm Okay, so now I'm a little freaked out. What are the chances? This is a very strange coincidence Maybe some force in the universe is playing with me and I don't like it So perhaps I need to make a contribution to placate there no agenda gods to let them leave me alone Except absolutely nailed it except I'm a Christian and I don't make offerings to idols

2:45:08 You're not idle, we worked pretty hard. Anyways I'll be sending you my contribution you deserve it perhaps you can put a good word in with whoever or whatever caused this incident and get this nonsense to stop Word put in consider yourself taken care of And that concludes our executive and associate executive producers for episode 1748.

CHAPTER 36 / 45 Discussion

NPR Radio Call Sign Misinterpretation

A brief discussion centers on a misheard radio call sign from an NPR affiliate, KUNC. One host initially interpreted the call sign as a vulgarity before realizing the speaker was clearly articulating the letters. This serves as a lighthearted example of how audio perception can be influenced by expectations or poor broadcast quality.

npr· kunc· radio call signs· mishearing· audio clips

2:45:50 Thanks again to these executive and associate executive producers. Our formula is this, we go out or hit people in the mouth. Boom shakalaka! I have an ask Adam kind of thing... Kind of thing? Or is it like...? It's like yeah because this is a clip I took from NPR and it sounded I heard, what i heard was later corrected but what I heard...I want to see if you hear. Okay do I play the jingle first or the Ask Adam? No but I would play the jingle first. Okay! I'm ready So they name a call sign for

2:46:54 radio station and I what I heard was not Don't tell me don't tell me what you heard because that may of course know. I want you to tell her when you here, okay? From K UNC and the NPR network this is in the noco I heard k-unc Okay, I know what you heard you heard k-unt Yeah It was she was more clear later in the clip uh-huh And then when she said it, because I heard it. I said what? What kind of a state... how did they allow this

2:47:32 And then they, she said K-U-N-C more clearly later. And I said oh that's interesting and then went back and played this again. I still heard it misheard it. You were set up at that point? It could be. Set yourself up. Well I'm glad you got it We were talking about AI during the donation segment Welcome back everybody who doesn't listen to the donation segment! You missed some good clips. Ha ha ha! Jokes on you And that included a decodation of Sierronomous of Dogpatch's musical notation, which we believe now is Ode to Joy. We're not sure yet... But AI is being applied everywhere what could possibly go wrong?

CHAPTER 37 / 45 Discussion

UK Foreign Office to Use AI for Diplomatic Negotiations

UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy announced that the Foreign Office is developing AI tools and virtual reality scenarios to help diplomats practice negotiations. The tools model how different countries respond to economic shocks and natural disasters. Additionally, a technical report from Tom's Hardware warns of "spy" USB-C cables that contain embedded microcontrollers and antennas for covert data transmission, which are reportedly available through hacker supply sites.

david lammy· uk foreign office· ai· diplomacy· virtual reality· usb-c spying

2:48:17 As we hear from the UK Times podcast. Laura, you've got a story in the paper today about David Lammy, the Foreign Secretary is bringing AI and novel technologies into the foreign office to help practice diplomatic...to diplomats practice negotiation scenarios that's fascinating I do and he is it is fun isn't it? That um..I mean everybody in government has tasked with thinking about ways that they can use AI and talk about the opportunities of AI David Lammy, never one to be left out is trying very hard in a speech today at the British Chambers of Commerce to talk about how the Foreign Office can deliver growth. So there will be some comments for foreign office staff, there'll be various new units and insight groups but the thing that caught me most my eye the most talking to people in government about this in recent days was the upcoming announcement on artificial intelligence which is actually they're developing two new AI tools inside the Foreign Office

2:49:06 and they are developing ways to help diplomats to actually do negotiations. They're trying to create virtual realities so you can just drop an ambassador with a VR headset into a meeting with an overseas prime minister and say, shoot them now! Exactly, they're modelling how countries and other diplomats respond to things like natural disasters so hurricanes or to sharp rises in inflation and various economic shocks. So it's quite interesting the extent which you can replace the kind of conventional and very age-old tradition of these diplomats building strong personal relations with people I'm not massively convinced but i think it will be very interesting to see how ambassadors and high commissioners aim at using that actually

2:49:48 Why don't they just have the UK AI talk to the US AI? Take out the middleman. Yeah, and then go into that mode. The high-speed yak-yak mode It's not high speed it's 35 baud Thank you I did have a concerning note here from Tom's hardware blog There are apparently USB-C cables when scanned with a CT scanner reveals electronics in the connector that include an antenna and another die embedded in the microcontroller.

2:50:41 Ooh. That sounds like a pretty cool device. Ooh is right! We don't know what it does... Well, you know what it does? It's a spying device But it- You can get them? Oh you- oh Where can you get them? I dunno at Hack 5 apparently according to the troll room Hack 5. Huh. I didn't realize that. I want to call out uh.. A script um uh I'm disappointed in uh Miss LeaveIt and Peter Doocy for playing out a little show in the press room. This was funny, but yet unnecessary because it was obvious you colluded And this discredits Peter Doocy of Fox News.

CHAPTER 38 / 45 Discussion

Return of NASA Astronauts After 286 Days in Space

NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams returned to Earth aboard a SpaceX Dragon capsule after their original eight-day mission was extended to nine months. The delay was caused by thruster failures on the Boeing Starliner spacecraft, which NASA deemed unsafe for a crewed return. Despite the extended stay, the astronauts reportedly did not receive overtime pay, receiving only a standard per diem for their 286 days in orbit.

nasa· spacex· boeing starliner· butch wilmore· suni williams· international space station

2:51:42 And my advice to that unnamed, low-level French politician would be to remind them that it's only because of the United States of America that the French are not speaking German right now. So they should be very grateful to our great country. Kelly? Yeah, that's pretty bad. I was turned off by that. I want to get this out of the way which is the stranded astronauts controversy. Controversy? Yeah they weren't stranded! No...they weren't?! Well, depends on who you talk to. I have two clips. I have the astronauts return But before we play that and when it played the stranded astronauts clip This was a couple weeks ago when they were at a press conference They were floating around in there in the pod and they were asked this question. I like that You titled the clip stranded Astro bots Here's the question

2:52:40 Our next question is from Aaron Gregg with the Washington Post. Hi everyone, thanks for doing this so my question relates to Elon Musk... My goodness this sounds just like those quarterly calls from Wall Street Our next question is from the Wall Street Journal. Hey everybody, great queue! Yeah I have a question for the astronauts? Our next question is from Aaron Gregg with The Washington Post Hi everyone thanks for doing this so my question relates to Elon Musk has said that he made the offer to bring you guys back earlier and it was denied My first question is Is that true and if so what would that look like? Was he offering to make another flight

2:53:23 push seats on another flight. Could you give us some background there? I can only say that Mr Musk, what he says is absolutely factual. We have no information on that though whatsoever what was offered and what was not offered who it was offered to how that process went That's information we simply don't have so i believe him uh...I don't know all those details and I don't think any of us really can give you the answer maybe that she would be hoping for Well thats interesting So the answer they were hoping for, of course is that Biden stranded them. Yeah! But they were offered a trip back and then Biden actually did strand them left him up there and it's kind of... now it has become a bone of contention amongst the media well the word stranded isn't being used correctly They like being up there and all this... Lost! They were lost in space

2:54:12 And so we have the astronauts return clip which is just kind of summarizes them coming back. Two NASA astronauts are back on Earth after an extended stay on the International Space Station their mission was set to last only eight days but Butch Wilmore and Sonny Williams ended up spending nine months in orbit Central Florida Public Media's Brendan Byrne has more on the astronauts' 286 days in space. It was a picture-perfect return as the SpaceX Dragon capsule gently splashed down under a canopy of four parachutes just off the coast of Tallahassee, Florida. And splashdown! Crew 9 back on Earth

2:54:50 But their mission wasn't as smooth as their return. NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Sonny Williams arrived at the station back in June, in Boeing's Starliner spacecraft designed to take astronauts to and from the station. It was a test flight but during their arrival the crew encountered problems with the spacecraft thrusters. Starliner docked successfully, but NASA decided it wasn't safe enough to take them home. Instead they went with another company Elon Musk's SpaceX for the return journey. Starliner was sent back to Earth without a crew in August and an already planned crew mission flew to the station in September with only two of its four seats taken by NASA's Nick Hague and Russia's Alexander Gorbunov The empty seats were for Wilmore & Williams The four returned home together

2:55:35 Alex, Butch, Sunny on behalf of SpaceX. Welcome home. During their extended stay, Wilmore and Williams became part of the station crew conducting 150 unique science experiments and multiple spacewalks NASA's Steve Stich says despite the mission not going as originally planned You know Butch & Sonny return on Dragon to me shows how important it is to have two different crew transportation systems NASA says Boeing is committed to flying Starliner again although when that will happen and whether or not It will carry a crew is still unclear What I find fascinating about all this is that the blue thing, was it Blue Horizon? Blue Origin? What is Bezos' outfit called? Yeah. Blue... Baby Blue They've had a lander on the so-called moon for two weeks and you hardly heard anything about it

2:56:34 Mainly because... He's not doing anything up there. Well, it's out of power now. It's done. Yeah I thought that... I... Yes? I was gonna say, well go you can finish that thought because i was discussing how...I thought they stayed up on the space station so they could collect a bunch of overtime. Blue fail! But one of our producers looked into it and found out that they weren't going to get any overtime at all They got kind of gypped by this whole thing Yeah like 170 bucks a day or something Yes, I get meals and transportation. You know? Yeah, I think they did get some per diem. Yes, some drink coupons possibly. That's a rough deal man that's no good yeah of course somebody pointed out that both of them weren't young and so they're gonna have a hard time covering. Yeah hard time

2:57:27 And then of course there's the fly. You probably saw the fly video Yeah, I saw the fly and I'm buying it you know It could be any sort of anomaly yeah no you believe in...I think the whole splashdown was AI generated it was just AI There was no...It's not that good The AI is very good! It's very good at that stuff You know, and that Jensen guy. He keeps doing... Who's Jensen? Jensen from NVIDIA Oh! Jensen Wong Yeah he keeps doing these Steve Jobs things with his leather jacket His leather jacket and his sneakers And he has a robot just accompanying him Yeah yeah and he is treating the robot like a dog and there is a stand over there It's like... it's so fake I had dinner with that guy Yeah

CHAPTER 39 / 45 Discussion

Governor Kathy Hochul Sounds Alarm on New York Measles Outbreak

New York Governor Kathy Hochul is urging residents to get vaccinated against measles following outbreaks in 13 states and neighboring Ontario, Canada. Hochul claimed that vaccines have saved 60 million lives over the last 20 years and expressed concern over "vaccine hesitancy" and "disinformation." The state has launched a new web portal to provide information on the MMR vaccine, as current vaccination rates in New York are approximately 81%.

kathy hochul· measles· mmr vaccine· new york· ontario· public health

2:58:17 Yeah, some years back before they really got big. When he was still a gaming guy? Yeah! When he's still a gaming guy... Nice guy! I'm sure he is. Go kick him in the shin. He's even nicer now. I bet he won't have dinner with me now. No, not at all. Who's that guy? Who?! I think we need to wrap up my offerings for today with some measles because we've got to sound the alarm New York City under alert. I'm calling on all New Yorkers if you've not been vaccinated your child's out of vaccine please step up and get it done today Governor Kathy Hochul spoke about why she is sounding the alarm encouraging all new yorkers to get vaccinated against measles

2:59:02 While the outbreaks in Texas and New Mexico may seem far away, 13 other states are reporting cases of measles including New York State. And there is an outbreak in Ontario Canada which borders New York Governor Hochul is hoping to combat any vaccine hesitancy The vaccination has been determined to have saved 60 million lives over the last 20 years alone. Sixty million lives that's extraordinary! What? Yeah, that's what she is saying. But is she nuts?! She's saying that the vaccine has saved over 60 million lives from the deadly measles! Oh my god... That just doesn't-that sounds a bit... No it's bullcrap! That's what it sounds like We cannot go backwards in this time of fear and disinformation It'll only wreak havoc on our state

2:59:53 Sorry for cringing everyone, let's go forward together. The state launched a new web portal today with information about measles About 81% of New York residents have received at least one MMR dose that is the measles vaccine Not enough! Since 1989 two doses have been recommended The first dose is given at the age of 1 and second at 4-6 years of age She's doing this all wrong you've got to offer french fries and a Big Mac, and then they will get vaccinated. But the worst part is Dr Peter Hotep. Oh God yes! Well he's very... He's celebrating because it was you know COVID broke out Celebrating another day of life from the looks of him

CHAPTER 40 / 45 Discussion

Dr. Peter Hotez Defends mRNA Research and Future Vaccines

Dr. Peter Hotez appeared on MSNBC to defend the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the long-term research that led to mRNA vaccines. Hotez argued that the technology is now being pivoted toward cancer therapeutics, specifically for pancreatic and breast cancer. He also warned of future pandemic threats from the H5N1 bird flu virus, emphasizing that continued federal funding is essential for developing new vaccine strategies.

3:00:40 Five years ago was when we first came out with the mRNA vaccine, which as you know has been incredibly successful. Just ask him! Just ask President Trump! Saved millions of lives almost as many is the measles vaccine it's just fantastic Five years ago tomorrow, Moderna introduced the first human trials for a COVID-19 vaccine. But the point and the point you made to us all those years ago is that the research that went into that vaccine and the others started well before the pandemic in some cases 40 years before the pandemic including research that you've done this is the kind of thing we're talking about here research that's being done in the background that most people don't even know for diseases that we don't know that were going to suffer from

3:01:23 Yeah, that's exactly right Ali. Remember the work going in to show that the spike protein especially receptor binding domain of the spike protein is the target of any vaccine strategy against a coronavirus whether it's SARS or SARS-2 which is the cause of COVID 19? That was worked out and funded at our lab all through 2010s and possibly even earlier than that so that was a decade of research funded by the NIH And then all of the research that led to the Nobel Prize at the University of Pennsylvania, scientists for mRNA research. That was 15 years of research so unfortunately you know the American people too often have the impression that mRNA vaccines arose out of nowhere and it didn't there was fifteen years

3:02:10 significant support from the National Institutes of Health that funded two convergent lines. One for showing the spike protein is a target for coronavirus and second how to shape the mRNA vaccine, shape the mRNA as a vaccine strategy A vaccine strategy, not a gene therapy. A vaccine strategy and of course he is singing for his supper here because he's afraid that Bobby the op may just defund his research Well what we learned from talking to you all those years ago and since then is all that we don't know about biology about chemistry about disease. My argument is that's okay, it's okay if everybody watching the show doesn't know what the NIH does it's okay if you don't know what clinical trials are going on out there. Ali Velshi from MSNBC, he's Velshi, Velshi! Oh Velshi, yes I've always said Velshi. The fact that you can target them because people don't know what they are and the government can get away with impunity in saying we're cutting all of this research

3:03:12 You shouldn't have to know what it is. You do have to know that important work is being done. Important work! Well, and not only that Ali, I mean you're absolutely right but the other aspect is now with this mRNA having proof of concept that it works for infectious diseases... It doesn't work! It works! It doesn't work! Proof-of-work! It's like Bitcoin. Proof-of-work! We have proof-of-work that it works at proof-of-work. It works safe and effective. It works well Well, and not only that Ali, you're absolutely right. But the other aspect is now with this mRNA having proof of concept that it works for infectious diseases... And now we're turning it to cancer therapeutic. Oh yeah, of course! Yes problem reaction solution So there was a recent report that an mRNA vaccine is showing a lot of promise in pancreatic cancer which you know in the past has been such a devastating condition that's taken the lives of so many of my friends and colleagues over the years

3:04:06 We're now at Baylor looking at the... People as you know that had pancreatic cancer, I'd say there's something wrong with that. With that group! Something is going on in there. My friends and colleagues over the years were now at Baylor looking at the possibility of creating an mRNA for triple negative breast cancer so again this is gonna be the next generation of a cancer therapeutics and we can't not cut that off And then we have other pandemic threats coming down the line. There's this thing called H5N1 that's affecting cattle and poultry, and now there's been 70 human cases so far. There's no human-to-human transmission.

CHAPTER 41 / 45 Discussion

Peter Hotez Characterizes Texas Measles as an "Epidemic"

Dr. Peter Hotez described the current measles situation in Texas as an "epidemic" and a "hurricane," citing 250 known cases and 34 hospitalizations. He criticized HHS Secretary RFK Jr. for suggesting alternative treatments like Vitamin A, insisting that mass vaccination is the only way to stop the spread. Critics noted Hotez's use of the word "deaths" before correcting himself to "hospitalizations," suggesting a rhetorical strategy to increase public fear.

peter hotez· measles· texas· epidemic· hhs· robert f kennedy jr

3:04:49 But that could happen, and it could happen over the next couple of years. And so we're going to need new vaccines for that and that can only come through support from the National Institutes of Health I love the conflagration... The confusion about vaccines and therapies This guy is a ghoul He's totally a ghoul but why does NIH have to be responsible? I thought drug companies, pharmaceutical companies vaccine manufacturers and all the rest can do their own damn research. Very good thank you very good point because that's a research side then there's the political side and when i say that i'm referring to the measles situation we got in the United States and we've not talked about a measles outbreak in this country for a very long time largely something that people thought was eradicated

3:05:37 break. It doesn't take much to shift the political winds, to cause people to say I don't need vaccines they're dangerous they're gonna cause autism or whatever the case is in some cases those those concerns are rooted in some valid fears and in some cases like MMR they're simply not we have a head of HHS who suggests that there may be other ways to deal with measles yeah like getting it Just a thought? Yeah, and it's not the kind of message we want to get out. I'm here in Texas where the measles epidemic... No! I'm sorry An epidemic? Epidemic adjective Affecting or tending to affect a disproportionately large number of individuals within a population This is not an epidemic

3:06:28 It's also not an outbreak. It's some kids with measles Yeah, and it's it's not the kind of message we want to get out I'm here in Texas where the measles epidemic is pretty serious business We're at least 250 known cases And some of my colleagues in West Texas are telling me that number may be considerably higher And one thing you can't hide is the 34 death uh 34 hospitalizations Oh there it is again Now, you called this out a couple of shows back and I said well that was just the mistake. But i think you're right now You are correct! Thank you! I can't argue with your logic Yep They are... You say deaths and then you correct yourself They are planting it It's another- IT'S A TRICK

3:07:13 Texas are telling me that number may be considerably higher and the one thing you can't hide is the 34 death 34 hospitalizations In in in Texas right now because of measles measles is a serious illness that causes measles pneumonia It causes measles pneumonia Good it causes measles croup. It causes permanent neurologic injury measles ticks deafness And this is what's racing through the unvaccinated population in the state of Texas. Racing, it's racing through the unvaccinated population! The only way to slow this epidemic down right now is to vaccinate our population, do catch-up vaccination campaigns you can even vaccinate individuals That's patently false

3:08:00 It's not the only way. There are many ways, like letting everybody get the measles! It is not the only way. We've been exposed to the virus if you vaccinate within 72 hours that has to be all hands on deck and... Wait a minute? You can vaccinate within 72 hours of getting the measles and then it will cure you?! That's not true. No vaccinator population do catch up vaccination campaigns you can even vaccinate individuals who have been exposed to the virus if you vaccinate within 72 hours that has to be all hands on deck I don't know i'm really head scratching what all hands on deck quick good good all hands on deck

3:08:38 I don't know, it's head scratching what our Health and Human Services Secretary is saying. He started to talk about vitamin A as a preventative or Judesonite as a steroid. I don't know where that comes from The overwhelming message needs to be to vaccinate our population Stop it And as long we have an unvaccinated population in Texas This virus will continue to race through. I think of it like a hurricane over warm Caribbean waters, as long as there's warm water that hurricane will continue It's the same with an unvaccinated population. It's a hurricane! Unvaccinated populations is like a hurricane Wow...I have no words. There's nothing you can say No. It's just insane Alright take us home John

Agentic AI Segment and Photo Demon Software Tip

The show introduces a new segment focused on "Agentic AI," featuring experiments with AI-generated voices. While the technology struggles with certain slang and "street" inflections, it is becoming a regular part of the program's media deconstruction. The "Tip of the Day" recommends Photo Demon, a free, open-source photo editing alternative to GIMP that is described as powerful yet more user-friendly for basic tasks.

ai voices· agentic ai· photo demon· gimp· photo editing· open source

3:20:51 And so, there we are. That's too muddled. Here is another one. Yet again I find myself amazed. Yeah, didn't like the cutoff... here is my favorite! Hey you can be my age and it will be a lot different. That was you? Yeah, I figured. Okay, come up with your phone number. So Mimi said to me she challenged me she says okay now that you've been caught try to get the thing to do some

3:21:48 Some you know street sounding some some ghetto something something that's a little different wait, so you're not doing ISOs You're one. I'm doing the same isos because I couldn't get I tried to get it nut everybody in there on the list I think if I upgrade my subscription to no that's not an ISO That's an AI phony baloney okay? I got the phony baloney if I could get I wanted to go yo-yo Yo what up? It's dope show It can't do that? No! Everything works out except the dope show. Okay, okay alright so what we're gonna do now... We're not going to call it ISOs, we are going to call it The Agentic AI Segment and I will see-I'm not gonna compete with you on who could make better AI voices Yeah! Okay The show evolves ya know, its... Ya okay but we cant call it an ISO

3:22:45 No, I just called it an ISO for the purposes of the list. So you can find it on the lists. So I got three. Alright what do ya got? I got done We're done now go home Yeah Great I give up another great show that sounded pretty AI That's a fail. That's a fail yeah, and but and that guy couldn't do yo-yo yo what up no? Which is incredibly white of you, but okay? Of course it is I'm white hello in the final one sexy another show that exudes sexiness mmm yes

3:23:25 Nah, you're losing your touch man. You know now I've lost... Let me hear this one We're done now go home! I kind of like that one the best Yeah use that And now everybody it's time for everybody's highlight of the program This is John C. Dvorak's tip of the day! Great advice for you and me Just a tip with JCD And sometimes Adam Created by Dan Bradetti. Today's show is for free photo editing software. GIMP! It's the GIMP! To compete with GIMP. Oh, okay. Because GIMP is actually quite hard to use it's very powerful but very difficult to use so I'm having fun with this other one and there's a bunch... turns out that be tons of them out there not tons but maybe a dozen very usable free products are you going to alternative dot net

3:24:17 No, I dug this one up through some more deeper research. Okay This is photo demon photo demon Photo demon and I would recommend people get it and play with it And you get it at photo D Don't get it anywhere But he but their main so yeah, I put the github to find there they're real source of it which is photodemon org and download it from there because everyone else is, you know. You can't trust these download sites anymore they downloaded... No that was a previous tip! Spyware with their downloads but photodemon.org I think they're on version 12 and i would recommend playing with it if you like to play with some photo editing stuff

3:24:58 Well, that's a pretty good tip. I might even follow that tip myself Yeah give it a shot. I'll give it a shot there you go everybody That is your John Cena Borak Tip of the Day. tipoftheday.net noagendafund.com Thank you very much Danny Brunetti for creating that what would he do without you? What would we do? Hey, that's it for your no agenda show. We were happy to present it to you We did this as a public service where value for value So if you get anything out of this send us some value back time talent treasure No agenda donations calm is where you could do that. We've got end-of-show mixes I've got a pulled up an oldie which is from 2016 It's a compilation which just runs for about a minute 20 think you'd like and we got
