Mercenary Spyware

00:00 Yo, you have three. Holy crap! Yeah, I'm convinced that's just chat GPT. If you get one of those and someone said write a nice letter to my friend

00:43 Yes, and I hope this message finds you well and then there's the alternate which is I hope this email finds you Well what does this even mean? I don't ever said this in real life. I Call hope this message finds you well What is it looking for me didn't found me and if I'll be well No, seriously. What does it mean? What is this stupid phrase mean and why is it at the beginning and you're right It's obviously from Chad GPT because it's followed by a lengthy sales pitch That goes on and on and on and never gets to the point what were they trying to sell you with this time without opening using some service or maybe we can get more podcast listeners

01:27 LinkedIn is filled with I hope this message finds you well. LinkedIn has become a spam network nobody likes LinkedIn anymore they're all you know like, I've got to curate my feed! I've gotta close everything down! I can't accept any more connections it's a mess They really hoard that once Microsoft bought up they hoard that thing out They made it bad. I think they probably let ChadGBT loose on us, so everybody could grab all their emails and profiles and just spam away! That's all that AI is good for! Spam... deepfakes... humor. Humor? Humor yes. And some Python coding okay i'll give you that. Use some PHP scripts alright. Dynamite.

02:14 Ah, before we even get started John we have breaking news. It came in this morning over the trans-breaking breaking breaking! Breaking news, sources are confirming the Fox News that National Security Advisor Mike Walsh is out. Out! As well as his deputy Alex Wong. Chaos! Additional names are likely to come we're told and we expect to hear from the president on this soon I'm Harris Faulkner you are in The Faulkner Focus. I am in The Faulkner Focus oh no State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce is also with me I love this. We have not had Tammy Bruce show up in any real capacity, this is exciting. She's been on a lot you just haven't seen her? Well no but she hasn't been on the show because now it's breaking news! Breaking! Breaking and Tammy Bruce is gonna tell us exactly what happened or...

03:03 Or is she going to waffle a bit and be a propagandist, which was exactly the opposite of what she was when she wasn't working for government. I wonder which Tammy will get? First though let's get the news of what's coming together right now. Tammy Bruce with The State Department is with us right now so first of all just kind Top line this for us. I mean Jennifer has given us the news. If someone says to you, John we're going to John at the State Department top-line this what would be expecting to hear from you? The probably the most succinct explanation that explains everything right off the bat, the top line. And this is why we have no career in broadcasts! The opening! The headline! From the State Department perspective Tammy?

03:55 Here's what I can tell you when it comes to national security for the country, the nature of the president. What a little laugh tale in there! I hadn't noticed that when I was clipping it. When it comes to national security for I've told Jamie Bruce. The nature of the president who's involved in making determinations about this nation's trajectory, of course economically when it comes to security and what we've seen and what we know from President Trump is he has been very clear that his commitment is to diplomacy around the world He is clearly an active and engaged president That I think is an understatement This is a man who comes from business

04:46 where Literally? He has hands on walls, what was he doing to him? I don't know! He's touching him. She gives us nothing What kind of top line is that Tammy Bruce the disappointment of the century We loved you we loved you on Fox You were there to tell us to tell it to a straight we loved you no

05:29 No, okay. So let's do some propaganda! That mission was done well... So now they're talking about the mission of which the top secret details were leaked on The Signal and Signal B. Oh, the Houthi bombing? The Houthis- so we're gonna move from let's not talk about what happened to that was a great mission, mission accomplished. That mission was done well it was completed well and I think it's worth stating that that made when it comes to whether it's the Houthis, the nature of diplomacy with Iran which of course always continues. Bringing people to the table regarding Ukraine and Russia, the situation in Gaza, the critical minerals deal which is actually a much broader deal with Ukraine with money and resources that will be reinvested into Ukraine and its rebuilding

06:31 propaganda building after this horrible carnage that has I don't get over three years so you've got major successes economically and otherwise as inflation goes down it is a historic first 100 days it is being aggressive and America wants to change by electing President Trump and we're seeing the benefits of his vision on every single framework and it's been a success. It'll continue to be a success complete And utter bullcrap propaganda. That was terrible, that was a bad performance. It was disappointing. Disappointing Tammy Bruce I have to think that was the Laura Logan spot. I think she was supposed to get that spot

07:16 I don't know why she didn't. Laura Logan would have done a better job than that Well, that's the problem because this is clearly oh let's just do some propaganda Because it's 100 days now Just before we move on I received but we have well before we start I have some thoughts about this Waltz thing Well can I can I just give you boots on the ground real quick? Of course We have the best producers and I've got many producer boots on the ground Regarding Signalgate, then yes I want to hear your thoughts about walls. As a military contractor writes our Boots on the Ground producer with the Army and as a Navy reservist we are required to use signal in CONUS and OCONUS

07:57 which I think is Continental United States and what's Oconus? Oh, Continental United States. So the narrative that it said commercial app which you guys debunked is false! DoD uses it as the app of choice for OPSEC operational security. I am in bed with the 160th FOSCOM, which is an unknown acronym to me All chats between us contractors and our army counterparts are on signal. WhatsApp is only used by rear detachment Air Force units Get in the back you WhatsApp people!

08:33 By the way, Michael Strickhars is a douchebag. Just throw that in! He says he turned me on to you in 2019 and he doesn't donate so he's a douche bag So whenever they say commercial app it is a requirement within the Department of Defense so this is all on its face bullcrap but clearly someone had to go And I guess today we now know. It is Walt, your thoughts? Well Walt and Wong! And, well Wong was the problem. That's what everyone thought. Well we think he was the problem I'm wondering whether because Waltz was set up with his signal system by the CIA directly according to him Yes and Wong...I think they set him up I think this could have been a setup to get rid of him because yes He's annoying! He was not a guy that anyone liked They didn't in fact people that were Trumpers didn't like him either but what's convenient here

09:31 is that he could also have been a bargaining chip with trade talks with the Chinese. To get some Tsing Wang back? Because of Tsing Wang. So, Wang was a Chinese national and who's anti-China and Waltz was one of the biggest China hawks so let's get rid of those two guys and we'll start to talk and I think they may have been sacrificed Set up, set up to begin with. And then sacrifice it... The excuse will be well you know that this signal thing has some somebody had take a fall for it even though there's a required app which makes me question the signal even more now yeah CIA it's got a backdoor obviously It has to have a back door must have a back door

10:29 Sure. Well all this comes amidst the most important thing and I did the calculation this morning we have, we today John as of today May 1st 2025 are celebrating 6397 days of broadcasting to Gitmo Nation congratulations sir! This is where you say congratulations. Congratulations? Yes congratulations because it's a lot more than President Trump, the first 100 days continues. It continues! The what? First 100 days... What is this one hundred days thing all about I mean they didn't remember this the first Trump go around i don't remember during Biden and or don't last time I remembered the first hundred days was I think when Steve Jobs rolled out to Macintosh now I think 100 days has been around it has

11:22 Well, they're milking it. Well of course they're milking it including the BBC Donald Trump has been marking 100 days since he was sworn in as the 47th president of The United States and in case you missed any bits here's a reminder of the story so far From this moment on America's decline is over I'm about to sign some very important executive orders. Military personnel to assist Border Patrol. 30,000 beds in Guantanamo to detain the worst criminal illegal aliens. The US will take over the Gaza Strip, we'll own it. Air Force One is currently flying over the recently renamed Gulf of America If all of the hostages aren't returned let hell break out The Department of Government Efficiency moves to revamp and shrink I love those old drum roll in the background ...signs of the federal government People voted for major goverment reform and that's what people are going get A dictator without elections

12:22 Zelensky better move fast. Should I run again, you tell me? You should be thanking the president for trying to bring it into this conflict. Can we have a look into Ukraine? We're not in a good position! You don't have the cards right now. Tariffs... uh..you know they're all set they go into effect tomorrow Hopefully we can get a ceasefire from Russia There were nearly 200 who were sent to El Salvador Department of Education-we are going to eliminate it Details of the US attack plans where first shared two days earlier with Jeffrey Goldberg We have to have Greenland. This is Liberation Day! The United States will implement reciprocal tariffs... We've been meeting with China... We're putting a lot of pressure on Russia, you'll have to have Ukraine want to make a deal too America is back! You know why they didn't do this for Biden? Because all they would have for the montage is I'm not Russian blahblahblah

13:17 Do you remember back in 1984 when Ronald Reagan became president? He became president in 1980. Uh, he was re-elected in 84'. Yeah Right Do you remember the Morning In America campaign? Vaguely It's morning again...in America Today more men and women will go to work than ever before in our country's history with interest rates at about half the record highs of 1980 Nearly 2,000 families today will buy new homes. More than at any time in the past four years This afternoon 6500 young men and women will be married And with inflation of less than half of what it was just four years ago They can look forward with confidence to the future It's morning again in America and under the leadership of President Reagan Our country is prouder and stronger

14:20 and better. Why would we ever want to return to where we were less than four short years ago? It's Morning in America! One of the most famous ads of its time, and we have a modern day version. It's a new day The sun is rising The birds are singing And things are returning to normal It's norming in America. Today, we're actually arresting shoplifters and fewer businesses are being burned down all over America. Pronouns are being dropped from bios. Men are not having babies and fewer drag queens are flashing their genitals at children. Videos like this one aren't being shadow banned as much. People are saying master bedroom

15:17 And look at that, white people are reappearing in commercials. And guys we can say guys again America the fever has broken now we can be sensible nicer and normal join us And let's never go back to those weird, angry, divisive times again. It's norming in America! That's right baby! Have a great norming you hear? Same PR team clearly it's norming in America. It's very funny yeah I like that I thought that was good

16:00 That brings me immediately to a nutball clip. Okay, are you on the mic man? Are you talking? Are you spitting in that's yeah I hope so. All right. I'm gonna jack you up some more Jack me up The opening show things write themselves okay that brings you to a clip immediately You said what kind of clip this is the ranting lunatic chick Wait a minute, you're going straight to TikTok? Can we do this early in the show can we handle it? Maybe not but this is definitely will set the tone. You know what okay I know i'm insane and I know I'm internet's favorite crash out What I am gonna say right now... What clash out?!

16:42 Crash out. I like that. Crash, crash, crash. She said crash out? I thought she said clash out. You know what okay i know im insane and i know im the internet's favorite crashout What Im gonna say right now is I'm not paying my debt anymore! What we're doing from this point forward Is a debt strike 2025 If I have to do it alone and be insane...I will!! I literally will. The fact that we would continue paying our debt, we can't stop paying our rent because that's too crazy it'll put a lot of people in harm. I'm sick of protesting it does nothing. I don't want to go to war because look how skinny my arms are. We have to do something. I am not paying my debt you can join me on this or you cannot. I'm going to take a picture and I'm going to keep records of the debt that I have right now cuz when interest rates go up on that I'm not paying those either even when they start to meet our demands and the demands are as such

17:32 Abolish ICE, okay? I want those men home from El Salvador. I don't care! We need to protect Medicaid. The Department of Education needs to be restored, I want critical race theory in the classroom period we need to literally be delusional right now. Make fun me all you want this is what we need to do this is what we need to do and if they don't meet our demands then they did what we're gonna do is then we're gonna stop paying a rent but for right now Stop paying your bills, stop paying your debt. We're gonna start there. And it's like what the fuck do I have to owe my credit score for the house that'll never buy? I already am not allowed to rent because I don't make enough money and have a cosigner anyway so what does my credit code score even fucking matter? What does it matter bro literally one. I want Doge out of office we're done with him.

18:30 And free health care for all people. I'm so dead serious, guys we're done with this! I love that she called herself delusional That is some... self knowledge. That's a bipolar episode No no that's engagement farming on TikTok You have to see her she's pretty serious No it's all an act She's a pretty good actress then Well she got on the NOAGENDER show I'll give her that Yeah oh yeah she did But this is part of, there's also another movement going on besides not paying your bills. There's a... none of this gonna work because it's very small minority. It's norming in America. They're calling for the illegal which is a general strike and they're calling for a general strike and I think it was from May Day next year maybe? Oh they are getting ahead of the game! They are front running the strike

19:26 I think, but there's a...I'm noticing it starting to show up more and more about let's do a general strike. That's gonna do it! Well today is of course uh a dual celebration Today is May Day And what is may day? May day is workers'..it's the workers' day It's this is the day of Khamis Of The Working Man Khamis What? It's Communist holiday! Yeah, communist holiday. Would you be surprised to hear that this falls on the exact same day as the National Day of Prayer? Well I know it is the National Day of Prayer because Trump was on air and he just could not stop talking... It's called counter-programming man. We're not going to pay any attention to the commies its national day of prayer

20:12 It's counter-programming. World Workers Day! Workers Unite! Pray, pray! Anyway it is 100 days... Also a show day. Of course it's a triple threat. It is workers day, it is National Day of Prayer and the show day what more can you do? But we are celebrating 100 days and President Trump chose ABC to do his 100 day... His one hundred day excoriation of the media. Yes, and most of this was about Kilmar Abrego Garcia Let me ask you about one man in one court order

20:50 Kilmar Abrego Garcia. He's the Salvadoran man who crossed into this country illegally but who is under a protective order I think to get into the White House Correspondents' Dinner you had to pronounce Kilmar Abrego Garcia properly otherwise, you weren't allowed in that he not be sent back to El Salvador. Your government sent him back to El Salvador and acknowledged in court that was a mistake, and now the Supreme Court has upheld an order that you must return him to facilitate his return to the United States. What are you doing to comply? Well, the lawyer who said it was a mistake was here a long time was not appointed by us, should not have said that. Should not have said that and just so you understand the person that you're talking about, you know, you're making this person sound... This is a MS-13 gang member, a tough cookie, been in lots of skirmishes beat the hell out of his wife

21:41 And the wife was petrified to even talk about him, okay? This is not an innocent wonderful gentleman from Maryland. I'm not saying he's a good guy it's about the rule of law the order from the Supreme Court stands here sir. You came into our country illegally you could get them back there's a phone on this desk i could pick it up and all the power of the presidency, you could call it the president of El Salvador. And if he were the gentleman that you say he is I would do that- But the court has ordered to facilitate his release? I'm not the one making this decision we have lawyers who don't want to do this. The buck stops in this office. No no no no follow the law You want me to follow the law If I was a president who just wanted to do anything I'd probably keep him right where he is. The Supreme Court says what the law is

22:24 Yeah, this was so good because the president really thought that he was gonna get a pass somehow but I chose you! I chose you ABC. I chose you Terry Moran! Listen... I was elected to take care of a problem that was, it was an unforced error that was made by a very incompetent man. A man that turned out to be incompetent that you always said was wonderful great genius right? And now you find out all the media now they're saying what a mistake they made A man who was grossly incompetent allowed us to have open borders where millions of people float in. I campaigned on that issue, I wouldn't say it was my number one issue but it was pretty close. Right up there. I campaigned on that issue. I've done an amazing job, I have closed borders he said you couldn't do it and you wouldn't be able to do it, it would never happen well... It happened very quickly wait a minute

23:15 When we have criminals, murderers, criminals in this country. We have to get them out and we're doing it And here comes the bone of contention The tattoo You'll pick out one man but even the man that you picked out He said he wasn't a member of a gang And then they looked and on his knuckles he had MS-13. There's a dispute over that. Wait a minute, wait a minute! He had MS-13 on his knuckles tattooed. Well you did see it. We have some tattoos that are interpreted that way but let's move on. Wait a minute. Terry, Terry, Terry. He did not have the letter MS-1-3 It says MS 1 3 That was photoshopped Photoshopped! That was photoshopped. Hey, they're giving you the big break of a lifetime You know you're doing the interview I picked you because frankly I never heard of you but that's okay

24:01 Terry but you're not being very nice. He had a ms-13 tattoo agree to disagree I want to move on to something else agreed it disagreed You only show you the best by the way either way that is the lowest of the low outs Agree to disagree, I know I hear it on podcasts all the time you and I we just fight Yeah We never agree to disagree It's like you're wrong. I don't think we've ever done not a chime—I never thought about this, but in 17 years i don't think we've ever used that phrase on each other We've never gone to bed angry at each other either Well... well no that's who cares Terry hey but you're not being very nice he had MS-13 tattooed We'll agree to disagree I want to move on to something else

24:46 Do you want me to show you the picture? I saw the picture. Well, here we go. Here we go. Photoshop it don't look at his hand. He did have tattoos that can be interpreted that way. I'm not an expert on them. He had MS as clear as you can be, not interpreted. This is why people no longer believe the news because it's fake news. In El Salvador they aren't there but let's just go on. They aren't there when he was in El Salvador. Take a look at the photograph. But they're now right? No! But they're in your picture. Terry. Ukraine sir. He has got MS 13 on his knuckles.

25:24 Okay, we'll take a look at it. It's you do such a disservice We'll take a look why don't you just say yes? He does and you know go on to something else contested So this is a contentious issue because many people have emailed me saying, Trump he's not doing his homework. He should just take the L it was photoshopped! Now there are two pictures... There is one of them has got some you call it Photoshop explaining what the symbols mean MS13 that's what the Photoshop part is It is MS-13 on his knuckles, but the second photo taken in Ukraine you don't see that. In fact what you do see is his knuckles are all smudged! That's the Photoshop! No, there's no M on his knuckles... They showed a picture of MS-13 on his knuckles they show that picture. That's the photoshopped version I wonder if that's photoshopped

26:21 Yeah, it is. It's obviously for you if you look at it carefully the letters are too clear because the symbols mean MS-13 that was the idea But I'm just saying the pictures they showed in this piece Showed what you call a Photoshop but I would say the other picture whereas knuckles are completely smudged That's a Photoshop! I think that's Photoshop to They could both be Photoshopped but yes The symbols stand for MS 13 Yeah, that's all there is to it. And he beat up his wife since when are we... Since when are we... Who was that? Apparently there's another report that came out this morning where he also did something and he also beat his wife into some other beating that took place as part of this whole thing More beatings Yes you're listening to The No Agenda Show Still ahead I'm asking for justification for going after people you don't like We'll be back with more Trump's 100 days or not

27:16 So that was big from the M5M this week. 100 days, what's happened? 100 days...100 days....100 days Well, I don't have any 100-day stuff. I have what the Democrats did which i thought was the best part of the week Oh this is with Hogg? The Hogg Kid? oh no the hog kids not that interesting I thought the thing I thought that was interesting was the sit in That started on Sunday we saw the sit and start live on the show Yeah but here's a report Which holy mackerel I didn't clip this correctly. I can tell by looking at it Do you have the name of it? Yeah Congress sit-in Okay

27:59 It's okay, we'll roll with it. We'll figure out what's going on- Let's see what we have. Congress returns from its spring break today but two lawmakers returned to the Capitol a day earlier in protest of the Republican budget plan. You're looking at House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senator Cory Booker who held a sit in that lasted more than 12 hours. This is one of those moments where we have to step up more as leaders in Congress We are in a moral moment and what we need now is not just four congresspeople and four senators but to get there, we need more people that are willing to stand in this moral storm. CBS News Congressional Correspondent Nicole Killian joins us now from Capitol Hill with more on this. Good morning to you Nicole. Senator Booker there kind of ended that speech and everyone standed up it was kind of like a aurorous applause

28:53 around him but why I didn't hear any roarous applause on the clip that they forget there was some there was some applause but stand did the guys she said they standed up Well, he's British. This guy is a British? He's British! You bring your British guy in so they can do his proper English?! No... Yes they stand it up I've been standing up all the time Why do this why conduct a sit-in protest on the weekend and from what you can tell did it resonate Well, I think a couple of things, you know interestingly I did ask Senator Booker after he had that record breaking speech on the Senate floor earlier this month this was a sign of things to come from Democrats because, of course some have been under fire for not doing enough to combat the Trump agenda and he did acknowledge the need on the part of Democrats to do more. And so obviously this all happened on the House side of the steps which involved minority leader- Okay you can stop the clip

29:45 It goes on. This woman is one of those women, I don't know if you ever worked with any of them in broadcasting? They can talk forever. Oh it's... Yes! They have to be interrupted they leave very few openings because when i tried to clip her i tried to cut out something She ran, like she would use and... she stood and. There was no way of cutting the... You know what I mean? An unclipable wench! Yes he's no good. Who can't stop talking I want to play a little bit of this Hogg thing though because i just thought it was interesting to show what disarray the Democrat Party is in. DNC Vice Chair David Hogg was on the lead last week talking about his plan to raise 20 million dollars to unseat Democrats and save seats in primaries... By the way, the woman you're going to hear talking her name is

30:42 Megan... what is it? Do I have it here? Megan Hayes, she was an advisor to Biden and she has a most interesting speech impediment. Now the DNC chairman Ken Martin weighed in and here's what he had to say No DNC officer should ever attempt to influence the outcome of a primary election, whether on behalf of an incumbent or a challenger. While certainly I understand what he's trying to do as I've said to him if you want to challenge incumbents You're more than free to do that but just not as an officer of the DNC From Minnesota if you can't tell So Hogg's argument is because he's not here to defend himself

31:22 There's a lot of dead weight in this party and we're talking about safe Democratic seats so whoever wins is going to end up winning anyway. And you know, we need to rise to meet the moment that's what he would say Great, you don't do that as a member of the DNC. You're an elected person on the DNC leave the party and go to that. The DNC is not an idea that is a democratic party. The DNC is an institution with a job to do people vote in primaries not the DNC. Are you sympathetic to his arguments at all? No then don't be part of the DNC what about the idea that there should be Absolutely there should be primaries. People should be primary if that is how our democracy works but if you want to help the primary challengers then leave the DNC, that is not your role as a DNC. Oh interesting now that I listen to her you can't hear it but when you see her their mouth goes all weird when she talks huh? That was disappointing. No that's interesting Kelly Evans on CNBC has a

32:16 has a funny mouth thing. The worst case example of this is a preacher called Robert Tilton out of Texas. Not familiar... And he used to be a televangelist, he's on TV all the time but I haven't seen him for years but He did a thing with his mouth that you'd watch him and it was like it would kind of mesmerizing because his mouth wasn't going in the same direction as his words It was very odd to watch Then they brought on this just short Ro Ocajana Ro Khanna, which is just fun to say. Ro Khanna. Joining us now to discuss Democratic Congressman Ro Khanna of California. Congressman always great to have you on the show thank you very much for being here at you are one who has actually publicly supported the effort from David Hogg You wrote on the platform X that I think that hog is doing incredible work supporting frontline Democrats while giving new candidates a chance to run in safe seats and you say Democrat should embrace

33:13 A new generation of leadership and competition. Why is this such a lonely place for you to be? You rebel. Look, I think primaries are healthy. Competition is healthy. I won my seat in a Democratic primary. Many of our members of Congress have won in primaries and we need a new generation of leadership now I'm trying to reach a compromise with the DNC and David Hogg, and what i've said to David is he can have his organization that is having primary challenges but he himself should not endorse in his personal capacity while he's vice chair And that seems to me something that can bring everyone together

33:57 This was such a mistake to bring this Jamoche in. I have no idea how that happened he must have come with money. Who? Hogg! No, this was just purely craziness from the Democrat Party. I don't know that it was a bad thing He comes in, Carville's the one who is really jumping all over him. There was a good back and forth with him and Carville. And Hogg...Carville accused me saying you know what the position you're in you're not supposed to be supporting anybody uh and he's not I don't haven't heard anything he just wants he just says theoretical he says we should bring in new people and have them run in the primaries. He hasn't named names so I don't know what Ro Khan is talking about

34:42 Or Carville for that matter. Then Carville called him out for getting paid and it turns out that vice chair that he is, is a voluntary job. He doesn't get paid anything he says! No I'm thinking this is why I think without evidence there's money behind him. This whole... Well its not his father. We know that So the other big story, and this was big because I know... Maybe Soros money. It's possible. That's such an old trope at this point Yeah, I agree. And Soros wouldn't be trying to put new people in The Soros gambit is over it's got to be new people it's gotta be new money Soros is dead

35:25 What's Alex is gallivanting around with? He's no good. He's not the powerhouse sort of guy that the old man was. So, the other big story because I know people in the region was the big blackout and I have two boots on the ground which will help you help dispel all of the rumours, innuendo and bullcrap. The power is back on in Spain and Portugal after one of Europe's biggest ever blackouts but there are still no answers as to what actually caused it or how they could prevent it from happening again Our Iberian co-bureau chief Aislinn Leng is looking at this story Aislinn what do we actually know?

36:06 It's extremely unclear still what caused the blackout and there is something of a political blame game initiating. We are also seeing an intense discussion about the merits of different power sources. Spain is and Portugal are big renewables producers, French ministers were saying yesterday well you know if they used more nuclear power perhaps that wouldn't have happened The Spanish Prime Minister has firmly rejected that saying actually even nuclear power couldn't help us get this restarted we were relying on a lot of hydro. The Spanish power grid operator has said that this is absolutely not a cyber attack from their point of view, they say there was a massive drop off in power supply what caused that is becoming a key area of investigation it is unclear and the Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez

36:59 is not ruling out a cyber attack. It's clear that it's very unclear and everyone's dancing around and we have some answers but first boots on the ground from Marbella Spain where our producer is located, Marbella is the hoity-toity place of Spain to be if you're near the harbor We've been told the blackout here is weather or net zero based after public radio telling us it was a cyber attack while it was going on. Interestingly, the communications blackout here in Marbella was much longer than the power outage we did not have Wi-Fi or cell service for 18 hours while the power was only out for 7 hours and of course EU rules around no gas stoves or barbecues on balconies meant we had to borrow a neighbor's barbecue to heat water and milk for the kids

37:45 Because of course you have to have electric stoves. this is one of our producers who can't wait to get out of the EU. So we continue with this Reuters report. And in the absence of concrete answers, what are the authorities doing to make sure there isn't a repeat of this? Well that is the big question, whether it can happen again. We've heard energy analysts saying that this could indeed happen again. This was you know one of possibly the only big power cut in the era of green electricity certainly the largest that anyone can remember. There has been an ongoing debate about the viability of European grids, whether they are having sufficient amounts of investment in them particularly now that we are seeing these new sources of power come online some analysts suggesting that you're trying to operate a Ferrari on a country road

38:39 and that sometimes that will result in its own challenges to the system. Whether that was the case here, whether there was a third party's involvement it still very much remains to be seen So now they're peddling the line, well you're trying to operate a Ferrari on a country road meaning all the grid is just not ready for our sophisticated renewables. So I contacted our dude named... That's a good bit! It's a great pit! Our dude named Ben name-Ben who is the protector of megawatts if you recall this is his job he knows and particularly cyber security zero cyber attack He said the problem is Spain, the reason why you're not hearing the truth is that Spain has been bragging about running on 100% renewables. Yeah there's some clips that are of it I mean there's a lot of visual news clips like to point this out and they form memes So the truth of it is at the time of the outage 77 percent of generation was inverter based. I love this term

39:42 I understand that immediately. Inverter based means solar or wind because they generate direct current and the inverter changes it into alternating current. Yeah, so you can go down to wires? And because these renewables do not provide stable power They fluctuate due to, I don't know wind changes and clouds. Clouds! Martha i can't watch the TV they have a base load their base load is 15 gigawatts of generation from France

40:20 So, according to the dude named Ben named Ben protector of megawatts a substation in France suddenly stopped transmitting electricity. Now they're not exactly sure why but they believe that it was because of a fire at the substation So, the Iberian Peninsula – Spain and subsequently Portugal – suddenly lost 15 gigawatts of generation from the French that they were reliant on because they were way oversubscribed on these renewables.

40:57 15,000 megawatts is a lot of generation to lose all at once. For instance in Texas we don't get into an emergency situation until we go down to 3,000 megawatts of spinning reserve even on our best day for generation it would be very difficult for our grid to survive that bottom line emergency levels would be catastrophic in Texas at three thousand about 40 million people here they lost fifteen thousand so The whole reason you're not hearing the truth is because of the bragging that they were, oh we're 100% renewable and they are not. They were really reliant on this probably nuclear generated power from France that dropped out everything went to crap and this is the risk of this insane policy

41:49 of relying on 100% renewables, getting to net zero. It is insane and no one's gonna want to admit this so I mean we've heard things such as oh it was atmospheric fluctuation a rare atmospheric event. Oh that story is so bogus! USA Today even had this preliminary reports out of Europe about the massive blackout the cause may be something called induced atmospheric vibration Yeah, what a crock. A rare phenomenon where weather changes affect power lines This is a lie and this is just the beginning of this nonsense The more they rely on renewables and in this case external interconnect from another country Which is a huge security risk for your country Check out we're relying upon France if France drops the base load for us boom We're done so

42:44 This it doesn't work. It's not a good idea Nuclear is is not inverter base its AC its renewable That's what they should be going to but now Instead, it's all of this solar and wind and they're going to keep lying And I'm sure they'll have a task force and nothing will ever come of it brings me right to climate clips boom shakalaka I don't know if I have anything on that particular situation which I thought I know you heard a lot of stuff and very familiar with the phony baloney. crazy comment about the weather causing this whole thing. Climate by his... The climate hysteria debate is there hysteria in the international climate debate? Britain's former Prime Minister Tony Blair suggests there is as he calls for a new approach it comes after Spain and Portugal were recently hit by cascading blackouts which some say were made worse by an over reliance on solar power. NGD's International correspondent Malcolm Hudson has more for us from London

43:48 In a new policy paper, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair said his theory should be taken out of the international climate debate saying that voters feel they are being made to make financial sacrifices and changes their lifestyle in what Blair referred to as doomed policy despite the fact that in developed nations these changes will lead to minimal impact to global carbon emissions. Blair said that by 2030, almost two-thirds of global emissions will come from China India and Southeast Asia. And said that means any strategy based on phasing out fossil fuels in the short term is doomed to fail But while he appeared to hit out against net zero carbon emission policies Blair went on to clarify that Prime Minister Kirstein's approach to net zero is the right one supporting the government's plan for Net Zero by 2050

44:39 Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner responded. Tony's clarified his comments and he welcomes our direction of travel, and that's on renewables investing in renewables and nuclear as part the mix but we can't rely on fossil fuels forever The British government rejected Blair's claim of hysteria in the climate debate. Debate yes okay yeah this is uh Interesting how these things are starting to fall apart. What is the inverse of operating a Ferrari on a country road? Is it a Lada? No, no one knows what a Lada is. What is an Edsel operating an Edsel on the Autobahn? No, no, a pedal bike on a 60 freeway. A pedal bike on the Autobahn! Pedal bike on the Autobahn. There you go that's what it is... I like it! A pedal bike on the Autobahn nice

45:36 Okay, it's part two now Republicans passed all of these changes out of committee yesterday And the goal is to make them part of that broader Reconciliation bill that big budget bill we've heard so much about with the goal to pass all of this by the summer what reporting? What is she saying? What does this? Is just another misclipped. We had a plate I think you meant to start it here hold on a second like I see what's going on But Ben Pyle, co-founder of Climate Debate UK says there is a lot of hysteria driving climate policy. And this sort of tendency of a lot of people within the global green movement to talk about deadlines you know 10 years left to save the planet and so on and so forth Many people have made the ten years claim over decades including former US Vice President Al Gore in 2006

46:23 Blair said that most political leaders know that the debate has become irrational, but are terrified of saying so for fear of being called climate deniers. A British government spokesperson said that they remain focused on their mission for the UK to be a clean energy superpower while treading lightly on people's lives. Pyle disputed this and said it will be expensive. Over the next five years, the Clean Power by 2030 agenda is going to lock Britain into extremely expensive renewable energy subsidy schemes Over-reliance on renewable energy has drawn criticism in recent days following the huge blackouts throughout Spain and Portugal. Energy expert Catherine Porter said the initial fault in Spain's power grid was made worse by an over reliance on solar power which led to cascading blackouts that lasted for over eight hours in the Iberian Peninsula. So this is actually, this folds right into a classic clip I have when he was still

47:28 the chief of the Bank of England, the central bank of the United Kingdom. The new Prime Minister of Canada listened to what he was saying then and what he probably still thinks today. The world's coming to Glasgow let's reshape finance for a sustainable world you demanded action and now it's time for the financial sector to deliver To reach net zero, every country, every company, every bank, every investor and pension fund around the world will need to make some big changes. In the run-up to COP26 in Glasgow we have an enormous opportunity to bring climate change into the heart of every financial decision. And our plan will manage the risk from climate change while helping to seize opportunities from a newer greener economy

48:18 The UK has been at the forefront of innovation for centuries, brimming with ingenuity and a can-do spirit. It also houses the world's largest financial system and by bringing them together we can deliver the net zero world that you've demanded and that our future generations deserve You demanded it! You demanded it! Nobody demanded it No, you demanded it! You wanted the net zero world That is what going to happen in Canada Canada, you're next. How are your renewables doing? It's going to be great! It's gonna be great! Might as well get into this." After a long night and not much sleep Prime Minister Mark Carney arrived at his office this morning getting down to work after laying out his vision to supporters last night in Ottawa. As we come here after this consequential most consequential election let's put an end let's put an end to the division and anger of the past

49:15 Carney says he'll work with all parties, and as the final votes are counted it's clear he'll have to. The Liberals have come up just shy of a majority they'll need to rely on the handful of new Democrats who survived their party's implosion, the Bloc Quebecois or even the Conservatives to enact their agenda The latest count shows Carney's Liberals and Pierre Polliev's Conservatives taking roughly 85% of all votes cast, with a less than 3% margin between them. The conservatives say they're willing to work with the liberals on the biggest issue facing the country—its relationship with the U.S., with Carney today making another move on that file. The prime minister's office says Carney spoke with US President Donald Trump that Trump congratulated Carney on his win

50:01 and that the two leaders agreed on the importance of Canada and the US working together as independent sovereign nations, and agreed to meet in person in the near future. And I think it was you who said Trump wanted this to happen he wanted Carney to win. He implied that he did! Here's some proof Highlighting his phone call yesterday with freshly elected Prime Minister Mark Carney and hinting that on trade issues Trump seems to see positive progress coming. Dealmaking now set to at least begin, suggested Trump almost immediately.

50:48 Trump even weighed in on the election itself when a reporter pointed out Carney won in no small way by targeting Trump and his trade policies. Here's Trump on that, and on opposition leader Pierre Polyev. I actually think the conservative hated me much more than the so-called liberal. He's a pretty liberal guy, but though I spoke to him yesterday he couldn't have been nicer and I congratulated him. Separately Trump noted not long ago that if President Trump is saying you're great guy you're nice guy this is the time you start watching your back something's coming for ya. And I congratulated him. Separately Trump noted not long ago that he has already made some 200

51:36 trade deal since he imposed his tariffs earlier this year, though none has been officially announced or made public. Today while slamming another country he's hit hard with tariffs China Chief Ripper offer Trump also suggested again, maybe something's in the works there as well. I hope we're gonna make a deal with China We're talking to China where any of it goes from here is as ever known only to Trump though for Canada A better sense of things may well come soon with us Trump now expects that sit down in the Oval Office with he and Mark Carney very shortly then according to NPR

52:17 Trump really did get him elected. Mark Carney has been elected as Prime Minister of Canada according to the projections from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation This was seen as a referendum on which candidate could best handle The United States under President Trump who placed tariffs on Canada and sparked a wave of Canadian nationalism. Carney defeated Conservative Party leader Pierre Pallièvre Politives momentum began to slip when former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau resigned earlier this year, which gave the Liberals a lift. But the real boost came when President Trump began targeting Canada's economy and its sovereignty Many Canadians were outraged by Trump's threat to make Canada the 51st state

52:58 It all becomes clear. Yeah, I thought that he did...I think Paulie was too much like Trump and he would have probably butted heads with him He didn't like him. I have a very strange clip mm-hmm that explains Trump's behavior in general Mm-hmm And this is the woman Corcoran? I thinks her name she is on The shark tank she's the female girl there female girl. And she's the one as opposed to the male girls that are on Shark Tank. You can't be too sure, you gotta be very clear...the female girl yes! The female girls she had an observation that I think is something we should always keep in the back of our minds about Trump and after I heard this I also thought that oh this is what would happen with Bill Maher too. Listen to this sorry Donald Trump getting a heck of a compliment from one of the key

53:50 stars of Shark Tank Barbara Corcoran. So I did a lot of work with Donald and i can tell you he is the best salesman I've ever met in my life She's the blonde who does a lot of fast-moving consumer she just smaller deals but successful deals she's the QVC lady that's what she is, QVC girl yeah. I watched him walk into a situation for example selling the Plaza Hotel to the Chinese out of Hong Kong it was in Taiwan group of Asians wealthiest families in Hong Kong And they were there because they were interested in the Plaza Hotel. And I was a broker, or my brokers would roll at the table and we're like really hungry to make this deal? And I watched him totally not pitch the Plaza Hotel barrier and talk about the land masses on Hudson River and the buildings that would be there. They were not the least bit interested. They just wanted it by the Plaza Hotel like up customer. I want to buy it and Donald's near bankruptcy really needed the money to bail out.

54:49 I thought he was so off. He wasn't, they bought the land and built all those towers on the West River as we know it today you know all those Trump Towers along the river that was a deal how did he do that? I'll tell you what his masterful mind does...He is a genius at picking out the vulnerability of someone's personality. He can smell it, sense it and trust it. So for example if you were to walk into a business meeting with Donald and you're saying whatever you're saying I've seen him time and time again he could see what your weakness is and not physically reach over put his finger on but he just could see what your weaknesses are and play into it

55:33 Not the nicest thing in the world, but it's a certain gift I've never seen anyone else. And it comes in handy...in light of what we're doing right now with China Yeah no she is the older lady not the young one The young blonde is the QVC yeah! Yeah I saw this clip and thought that makes total sense and thats what he has been doing with everything I think this may have in some degree, you know since we're talking about rare earths and about the processing. So i've been receiving nothing but tons of information about rare earth processing. Saskatchewan has had a rare-earth processing facility since 2020 so they do a lot of this

56:16 More, I mean have a ton of different places where this is happening but this kind of folds into the new deal. The last time Ukraine was about to sign a minerals deal with the US it was derailed by a row in the Oval Office. Two months on relations are slightly warmer and just before we recorded this podcast they finally reached an agreement The deal creates an investment fund for the reconstruction of Ukraine in exchange for access to the country's minerals, oil and gas. It will still need to be approved by Parliament in Ukraine but the Ukrainian MP Maria Metsentseva welcomed what she said were improved terms of the agreement

56:56 It's quite a good investment opportunity and a fair deal in the end where no sort of debts on military aid are mentioned. Everything is done in a manner due to Ukrainian constitution and doesn't breach any oversight of our EU aspirations So I thought CBS actually had, that was BBC, CBS had a better report because this is exactly the kind of deal that President Trump was talking about. Give us your minerals, we'll protect you will protect our own assets and maybe put together a little fund for you, little hedge fund. We're going to turn now to news that has big implications for the war in Ukraine The US and Ukraine have signed a long-awaited deal giving the U.S access to important rare earth minerals. Ukraine hopes in return to get greater protection

57:48 from Russian aggression. Ramy Innocencia has more on all this, Ramy joins us now. Ramy good morning! Tony yes good morning there and breakthrough here while this deal does not explicitly say that the US will keep on helping Ukraine defend against Russia's invasion like under the Biden administration that is the hope U.S Treasury Secretary Scott Besin who signed this pact with Ukraine's deputy prime minister in Washington, said that it signals to Russia that the Trump administration is committed to a peace process for what he says is a free Ukraine and over the long term. Details about this deal though are slim but it centers on US access to Ukraine's vast resources under its soil that includes oil and gas but along with critical raw materials like graphite,

58:34 and uranium for aerospace and technology. Funds from this deal would go towards paying the US for future military aid and to establish a joint fund for the reconstruction of Ukraine. And you know, there has been a lot of drama around this deal we also have two sides were close back in February when Zelensky went to Washington to sign an earlier version but then we saw that spectacular meltdown broadcast around the world then last week Trump and Zelensky met at St Peter's Basilica look at that decidedly more peaceful therefore the funeral of the Pope and now we have this breakthrough but importantly Russia

59:10 has not commented yet. So let's talk about the Ukrainian rare earths well let's play the NTD clip of this so we can get that out of the way okay Ukraine yep gotcha a Ukrainian official is in Washington today, The U.S and Ukraine just signed a deal on rare earth minerals here's more Ukraine's first deputy prime minister Yulia Sviridenko is traveling to the United States on Wednesday to sign a minerals deal. The two sides were reportedly set to close the deal on Wednesday afternoon until Ukraine requested some last-minute changes President Trump wants to use Ukraine's minerals as a financial guarantee for the aid the US has been sending to Ukraine

59:53 I didn't want to make a complicated deal. I didn't want to make a deal that couldn't be made because Ukraine doesn't have very much money and yet they're going through a very bad period of time, it's been brutal." But Ukraine's prime minister says the agreement won't include the money the U.S has sent so far only future aid So I think this is still about weapon sales to the EU. They'll be buying it, I believe because these rare earths in Ukraine according to Reuters they don't really have an operational mine They don't really have rare earths. Exactly, they have no mining roads No rail no energy grids. No processing capacity that's your big big thing Of course it's all a chaos and you know, the geological data is hardly available It seems like a bit of a mirage that but

1:00:51 The rare earths business that Rubio was doing in Rwanda, boots on the ground. Adam I worked in the mining industry for eight years lived in Africa for 15 mostly in DRC and Kenya the answer to the question is Africa has to make peace between a DRC and its neighbors. Rwanda is already doing unofficial processing of rare earth minerals from the DRC so there is processing and even crazier They're going to be processing right up in California at Mountain Pass. America led this industry for decades with this site right here at Mountain Pass, but due to cost of capital subsidies overseas in China as well as different environmental standards we lost our leadership and this site fell into essentially disrepair and bankruptcy. MP Materials has humble beginnings

1:01:42 We acquired this site in 2017. It had eight employees, it was in care maintenance Nobody believed that we could compete against China But we focused on execution and slowly methodically over time rebuilt this We have nearly 300 Americans proudly working on this site When we acquired this site, we clearly realized that multi-billion dollar supply chains don't move overnight. We had to have a long term plan to restore this site successfully and sustainably Our first stage which is largely complete was to relaunch the operations here. We now produce a rare earth concentrate product that represents 15% of the global supply

1:02:23 We are profitable doing so. Our next stage, which is underway is to make separated rare earth products and optimize it to be a leader in global industry from a cost and sustainability perspective Once stage two is done we expect to generate a significant amount of free cash flow that will enable us to not just making separated rare earth products but also magnets so we can fulfill our mission of restoring the full rare earth supply chain to the United States of America. So that's in California, but... What was the name of this operation? I've never heard of this. Mountain Pass Materials And there's three more from USA Rare Earth who have processing plants now in Stillwater, Oklahoma, Shearer Blanca Texas and Wheat Ridge Colorado. We are getting into the rare earth business and it seems that most of them are focused on magnets which would I don't know if that's gonna be the future of rare earths but that's what they most of them seem to be doing

1:03:24 So between Canada, these four states in America I think we're getting back into the business. And maybe we can chunk something out of Ukraine if it's really even there. Maybe actually after their oil? More than likely! I would take that over the rare earths any day So things are moving. And if they get the peace deal, we can get the rare earths there if we want them from Russia. Russia already offered it. Yeah yeah no we can get it easy but we're going to be doing processing and we have...and we're gonna make Canada you do it Canada! You wanna be net zero? Here take this nasty stuff Do it. Do it do it do it While were kind of on this and climate etc

1:04:21 Oh, it's the neodymium rare earth. That is that...that's the big attraction for those ridiculous magnets Yeah Is that of any real use? The magnet I mean obviously its motors Yeah, yeah, for all kinds of stuff It's an extremely powerful magnet We need some magnets! It's a kind of thing where you put two together and can't get them apart Your finger gets crushed You're done finger gets crushed. So this is a story that's been brewing, it has been very hard to get... I'm done! Your fingers are done. Mom!!! It has been very hard to get a clip and this is not the one I wanted particularly because it comes from oh gee what Africa News let me see is it from yes Africa News. Here goes the show yeah here goes the show

1:05:13 But it's about chemtrails or as we call it aerosol injection. And there are a lot of people in the UK who are very concerned about this because they're talking about it, this is just a short clip about what it is we all know what it is but even interesting that one of the scientists in this clip describes exactly what has been happening to our climate and I think it is due aerosol injection or chemtrails. and helping to cool the planet.

1:06:07 into the high atmosphere. Those particles would reflect a small amount, perhaps 1% of the incoming sunlight and there was good evidence that this could be used to cool down the planet and perhaps to reduce some climate impacts on vulnerable people around the world Researchers say that this could be done using aircraft already in service today rather than developing new ones Despite the lower altitude, it would still be possible to cool the planet by around 0.6 degrees Celsius. Celsius. When you deploy stratospheric aerosol injection, you can change atmospheric circulation patterns and so this can do things like disrupt precipitation patterns cause droughts in some places cause excessive flooding in other places Sounds exactly what's been happening to me! But other experts have urged caution saying geoengineering projects like this one don't offer long-term solutions

1:07:14 So, as kind of the Alex Jones in me would say this is exactly what they do. Do it for decades and then say oh we have this great idea and we've already been doing it because it's in the jet fuel and Bobby the op RFK jr took took a question about this yesterday on the Dr. Phil show. My name is Emily and my biggest concern is the stratospheric aerosol injections that are continuously peppered on us every day, bromium aluminum strontium it's sprayed in our skies all day long

1:07:50 And I know you've talked to Dane Wigington about this. He seems to be one of the experts in the field. You got a question? Yes, how do we stop it? That is not happening at my agency. We don't do that. It's done by DARPA and a lot of it now is coming out of the jet fuel. Those materials are put into jet fuel I'm gonna do everything in my power to stop it. We're bringing on somebody who's gonna think only about that Find out who's doing and holding them accountable Oh Bobby he's a kook, he believes in chemtrails They put him into the jet fuel Yes this has been the theory for a long time Yeah that's a bad theory Why?

1:08:41 Well, for one thing it would be corrosive but I've tested jet fuel when i was a chemist at Union Oil. That was not in the last... And there's none of these things in jet fuel! That was not in the last 25 years No, no. Well, chemtrails have been talked about way longer than when I was a kid they were talking about them well The material she talked about and I've seen this happen in Los Angeles what floated down onto my house Astrontium, Barium... No. There's something to this There is some, and it has always been suspected that it's in the jet fuel because you see it coming. And it's not like the guys with the jet fuel... They put all kinds of crap in jet fuel! You can pee in jet fuel and it'll still work It's diesel basically. Kerosene. Kerosene? Yeah so no I think this is happening and ever since President Trump got elected its been pretty beautiful here in Texas Blue skies

1:09:41 Where we would have every other day if not days in a row of chemtrails spreading out all across the sky making it gray. No, I think this is for real. Okay well you can think what you want We can agree to disagree! Chemtrails! Oh wait until you hear what i have to say coming up You think that's bad? You're not going to agree with anything I say It's okay. You got anything? Got any series, anything you want to launch into here? Well let's get rid of the TikTok clips! I was hoping you were going to do student loan

1:10:20 Oh the student loans yes. Everybody wants student loan tiktok clips, people get that on tiktok. Okay let's go Student Loan Revamp part one Capitol Hill House Republicans are working to revamp the federal student loan system as part of their big budget bill and efforts to cut government spending entities Melina Weiskopf has the details Republicans are working towards ending President Biden's attempts to forgive student loan debt After the courts rejected Biden's plan to forgive student loan debt, he enacted a workaround through the SAVE program that allowed so many borrowers to pay back $0 on their student loans and not accrue interest. Now Republican lawmakers are trying to overhaul that entire Biden-era Student Loan Payback Program. In addition, Republican lawmakers aim to cap the amount students can borrow in the first place. The limit is going to be the median price

1:11:07 of a college, university or program of study. The Republican chairman of the education committee says the goal with these new limits is to encourage colleges to lower their costs. Our current broken system encourages students to accept more and more debt without ever addressing college costs. It's no secret that spending in Washington has been a disaster waste fraud and abuse has left the American taxpayer on the hook for government bloat. Who was that at the end? You know, I don't know but it sounds like Reagan. It sounds like Reagan exactly! I was like wow that's interesting. Similar voice patterns probably a milieu thing. So here is part 2... this is a long story how this happened but got these clips kind of screwed up the second part is the student loan redux II

1:11:58 And Republicans are working to make several changes to the Pell Grant. So, the goal is to try and limit the Pell Grant only for those who need it most and change their requirements from 12 credit hours per semester to 30 credit hours per year. Now Democrats said it's unfair for untraditional students with other obligations outside of school such as who have obligations to family or jobs here's a ranking Democrat member on the committee speaking about yesterday They may need more financial support to cover the basic needs like housing, child care and transportation. At a time when families are struggling to make ends meet I'm confused why we're making it harder for working parents who are trying to further their education

1:12:42 Now the Republican chairman for his part noted that the Pell Grant is on track to run a shortfall of 70-100 billion dollars within the decade. So he's trying to avoid that Republicans are also trying to change the Pell Grant to include vocational programs, for example schools for cosmetology or welding training any career path that does not require a traditional college degree if students choose to take those paths they will qualify first so called workforce Pell Grant for the first time Okay, so where that's interesting and that's a good stimulus for welders What what happens with the student loans people now have to repay is the question you have to repay them That's what they have to do

1:13:25 Are they going to have programs to refinance? They'd like the reduction programs if you work for the police department, things like that. They're gonna have the same exceptions that have always been in there but they can have to pay... You take a loan out. The real problem I think it was mentioned in the first clip is that these colleges saw the whole thing as a scam that oh free money this is jack our tuition up and oh they get even more free money with higher tuition well let's jack it up even more The amount of tuition fees in not just the private universities but the public universities are just as high as like Harvard. It's unbelievable what a scam this has become I've been looking at some of these endowments like Harvard

1:14:11 Their endowments are huge. They have over, I think they have a hundred billion dollars or something like that. So which is you know arguably what we spent on Ukraine in three years it was probably more but let's just say that's the number And that's tax-free. The only tax they have is 4% they pay to the colleges and the rest is just, you know who's managing that money? What's happening with that? I think BlackRock has got most of it That's the scam if you ask me. The scam is those endowments and that's why Trump administration

1:14:47 Hard noses about it. They want control over that or they want to know what's going on with it That that I see it as a possible source of taxation then so the public can pay yet less Yes, in other words the taxpayer can pay less and those guys can pay their fair share for where's there fair share for a start? Yeah, I mean especially Harvard but all of them have huge endowments all of them do all of them It's that to me is a money scam Those endowments is a tax avoidance system for mega elites. It has to be, certainly if BlackRock's in there then it can't be anything good

1:15:26 No, I mean and then and then the other students who get cajoled into a gender studies diploma Polly Polly sigh you know They owe $100,000 and they got nothing nowhere to go if they all have $1,000 that's low. It's cheap Yeah, so well that's good That's it but that is not getting enough attention That endowment scam is a problem. Did you receive the Michelle Obama clip 20 times? Which one, the one where she's going on about

1:16:08 There's a bunch of them. Which one you talking about? Well, the one that's going around is oddly clips which of course makes me always go for the original Oh it was a slip-up she saying she's a man She say oh I love that clip here You know I always you don't you notice is not on my list no but III thought that clip was terrific obviously cut chopped off but people like this to me like this is clip of the day This is the best. It's a very funny clip, big Mike as a man. You know just so proud of how you are being our role model for dealing with child that's transgender. Absolutely and that warms my heart particularly as a black man So the video cuts to her brother while she's talking

1:17:00 So the implication is as a black man you had to deal with me, a black man who's transgender. And I was like... It's a slip up she admitted it big Mike's man Yeah, well you expected that I'm not fighting that obvious truth But here is the full clip in context where she's actually talking to one of the Wayans brothers about his transgender child Well speaking of parenting. I wanted to talk Marlon a bit about, you know. See they missed the little Marlon bit just so proud of how You are being our role model for dealing with child that's transgender Absolutely and that's you know that warms my heart particularly as a black man You know I would you care to share that journey of well? I learned like like

1:17:57 Their transition really taught me what real unconditional love was. By the way, notice how Marlon is so psyop that he's calling his transgender child they When I went when they went through the transition Mm-hmm. I actually went to the trans man from denial and complete acceptance and it took me a week to get there. Oh only a week, it's easy parents only a week unbelievable so anyway I just had to get that out of the way because that was all over you know the text groups in Fredericksburg are exploding big Mike is true JFK jr.'s coming back next

1:18:36 Foushee's mom was Mother Teresa. She's a man, she's a tennis player! No when I saw it... You knew immediately it was like misclipped for that purpose and yeah and I figured you'd go grab the real deal and play it out so I didn't have to even do it of course I did good for you yes what I do defending the woman hey we had a big A very big bill passed in the house, the Texas House this week. I think two days ago and it's not law yet because it has to go to the Senate This is the Undisclosed AI Generated Images and Political Messages Bill That's not the real title

1:19:25 But it's interesting and the debate is interesting around that as well. Former House Speaker, Dave Phelan is the one that filed House Bill 366 he was the subject of political attacks and memes in his most recent re-election campaign. Mailed flyers depicted him hugging Democrat Nancy Pelosi something that she never did But he says that's not why he decided to file this bill. Under House Bill 366, it requires any political advertising that uses altered images including generative AI or deepfake videos to contain a disclosure stating that the content did not occur. Failure to do so would be a Class A misdemeanor. Current state law prohibits the use of AI-generated pictures within 30 days of an election

1:20:10 Dade Phelan says this is about making sure election law keeps up with the evolving AI industry because a deceptive ad could swing an election. It's very common punishment when you're dealing with something as important as an election, especially elections I could say is a stolen election when in the last 72 hours of a campaign video can be released that entirely changes the nature of the electorate going into Election Day.

1:20:49 that we would propose such a harsh penalty for simply expressing our displeasure of an elected official. This is anti-American, this is anti-Constitution. Bielan says he understands that but the penalties need to be major to make sure that multi million dollar campaigns play by their rules The bill now heads over to the Senate for consideration and it could frankly face in uphill battle because Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick is the one that controls Patrick and Phelan have had a rocky relationship to say the least. That goes back to the impeachment of Attorney General Ken Paxton, and several Senate bills that have died over in the House over the last couple legislative sessions

1:21:30 So this is a again one of the only interesting uses of artificial quote intelligence I feel you should be able to do that. It brings humor into the process. Um, no delighted with it and yeah absolutely Total agreement put a disclaimer on it just like the drone even knew off screw the disclaimer I'm okay with the bill that says the disclaimer could just do it like the ad companies may cause ain't no leakage You may die and that's all we need to do You know, just at the end. But the thing is even with the disclaimer it doesn't matter because some of these things will crop up as memes and they'll be coming in anonymously from out-of-state It's great! I love them And it's gonna show the guy kissing Pelosi on the lips or whatever who cares? It's great! but you think it's funny and if you can't counter it... If you can't counter it this is a modern era Yes If you're being besmirched, smeared Besmirched?!

1:22:29 You have to be able to, as a politician. Unless you're being libeled which is different if you're being just smeared just casually smeared is you have to be have enough chops yes to get out of the smear using your own wiles and your own AI but by using your own use your own AI yeah you can do the same thing that the other guy what's that in your mouth? Yeah Yeah, it's a this is the only thing they're worried about by the way. That's all they're worried about AI man I did some more vibe coding. I will say when it comes to getting me actual results with coding

1:23:17 Grok, funny enough. Someone suggested I've tried them all. I've tried chat GPT, Claude cursor... Cursor is not as way too complicated that integrates with their IDE and I don't have any of that. I just want a simple script which I could have done in two hours by my buddy Dave and we would have been done with it but now it's taking me collectively three weeks of at least several hours on several of those days to come up with the simple script then PA in Python I'm sorry Grok actually did pretty well, but there's no absolutely no evidence of intelligence. It's just looking at the words, the language, the structure, the syntax it can do all that and it's just using old stuff that learned somewhere else and I know this because when it comes to one particular language liquid soap long story

1:24:11 It's doing everything wrong and they all do it wrong because they all have sucked up the same wrong information. And that whole project is a mess with GitHubs, GitLabs and different documentation so it has no intelligence but its doing enough stuff that yeah okay this is a 50 billion dollar industry not a trillion dollar industry Its still all parlor tricks Have it write your Dvorak sub stack. You won't, you'll throw it out I could probably have a do of something and then I could edit to an extreme I'd probably spend more time editing Exactly! Then it would take me to actually write from scratch which is not unusual situation That's the point that's exactly the point

1:25:02 But if you can't, yeah but I can write from scratch and I can write pretty quickly. Yes! But if you can't write from scratch... You'll write some mediocre over word salad that's over inflated and it will have a little nice little icons next to it It's no good! Emojis, emojis, emojis And then start off with I'm so happy he finds you well Ha ha yes thats exactly what your gonna get Oh man. So Eva Vlaardingerbroek, do you remember her? No your buddy! She's not my buddy I've never met her. She seems like she'd be your buddy Well she happens to be Dutch and she has the...I'm Adam, she's Eva so you would think coincidentally also born on September 3rd which is my birthday

1:25:57 Well there you go, you two are meant for each other. We're twin flames I tell you! Tina's rolling her eyes when she hears that... So she posted a very interesting video about her iPhone and i need to share this because if this is true and I'll take it at her word It has some interesting implications and of course she's using it for engagement farming, but here we go. Hi everyone so yesterday I got two messages from Apple stating that they detected a mercenary spyware attack against my iPhone first I thought it was fake

1:26:34 I got two of these messages and i thought it's probably not real but upon further research, it turns out that these messages actually are real. And so this is actually happening and in the message they say that this targeted mercenary spyware attack is probably happening because of who I am and what I do And then they continue to say that mercenary spyware attacks such as Pegasus, for example are exceptionally rare and that they're extremely sophisticated. They use really strong words. They're saying that the extreme costs sophistication and worldwide nature of mercenary spyware attacks makes some of the most advanced digital threats in existence today. And they're sending this to me because I've detected that it's going on against my iPhone

1:27:22 So this is real. Obviously I don't know for sure if any of that spyware has been installed on my phone, i definitely don't know who did it so this could be anyone this could be name a government that doesn't like me this could be any organization that doesn't like me secret services you name it but what i do know for sure is that this is an So. I don't for a second think that they're using this to intimidate her. She didn't know it, they didn't say hey we've got your phone we saw what you did send me a Bitcoin none of that! Uh i think she is being used uh...to infect other people if this is true and i'll take her at her word that she got these notices from Apple which is very concerning

1:28:30 Well, there is a page Apple does. I'm looking at it now. Mm-hmm. Apple does have a page up about it and its call from Apple and says about the apple threat notifications which is what she's talking about and protecting against mercenary spyware and there's a long lecture here hmm how do you know? It's not a phony deal How do you get it? Do you get it by tapping on a link in a text message? I'm trying to find out because they're very wordy. This has obviously been written by AI! No, Apple Intelligence probably not AI. Which is worse? Yes it is According to public reporting and research by civil society organizations technology firms and journalists individually targeted attacks of such exceptional cost and complexity have historically been associated with state actors

1:29:19 including private companies developing mercenary spyware on their behalf such as Pegasus from the NSO group, though deployed against a very small number of individuals often journalists activists politicians and diplomats. It could be actioned against me for example and it's in the drawers we speak. Mercenaries by word tax are ongoing and global And since 2021, we have sent Apple threat notifications multiple times a year as we have detected these. Oh that's interesting they can detect them and to date We have notified users in over 150 countries in total." It goes on and on. Here is what I think... So however you...I think she was used as well first of all your phone isn't attack vector on your life That's just a known fact which is why I love my Light Phone 3 it doesn't do nothing

1:30:13 However, coincidentally yesterday Tina comes in. Oh my God you won't have believe what happened to David so what happened? Said someone took over his phone he no longer receives his own text messages that's how we that's part of how he noticed it they stole his identity they created a driver's license With a driver's license, we're able to unfreeze all of his credit. He has his credit frozen at the three big credit agencies They unfroze the credit and then... How do you unfreeze the credit? Well, you have to- You can go online and say this is me And they had a driver's license They had a social security number So did he- Is he the one who froze the credit? Yes! He froze it! He had it frozen Like most smart people, yeah, your credit frozen

1:31:02 So you had his credit frozen, they unfroze his credit. They took over the functions at least the text messages so they cloned or whatever they did that I mean and the whole text messaging system is a system was it System 7 whatever its called that where you just go to some Podunk country and say here's 50 grand. Let me on the text messaging system, okay? Here you go know that by the way those Trump messages you're getting don't tap on the link Okay It was probably gonna get Pegasus spyware or other mercenary spyware And then they so then they unfroze his credit and immediately Went to buy a Mercedes and a Porsche

1:31:44 Oh, at least somebody's got taste. Mercedes was okay with him the Porsche people called called him at home and said hey are you sure you want this Porsche? And that's how they found out about it but the Mercedes deal was done so your phone is a threat vector of epic proportion Not my phone! not yours no and should not be used and just to complete the whole spy grid Sound like Katherine Austin Fitz right now. After Starlink, which I saw them fly over again last night and I wanted to take a picture...

1:32:22 However, the camera on this phone is shit. So I could not get a picture but I saw the whole train of lights going right overhead. I think it has to be on a clear night when there's just a little bit of moon we have a crescent waning. Yeah yeah it has to catch it. It caught it because they're over your anyway all the time you don't get to see them necessarily. They caught it and it was just beautiful I'm like, oh my god. Yeah! I've seen videos of it but i've never seen any around here So this is my second time seeing them while walking the dog and now well there's more coming Amazon has launched its first batch of internet broadcasting satellites kicking off its long delayed deployment of an internet from space network 27 satellites are now in orbit at an altitude of nearly 630 kilometers above the earth surface

1:33:17 Monday's launch from the Atlas V rocket, which took off from Florida follows that of two experimental satellites launched two years ago as part of Project Kuiper a $10 billion effort unveiled in 2019. Competing with rival Elon Musk Starlink Jeff Bezos' team claims that the satellites they're launching are now much more advanced than the first two The company aims to put more than 3,200 of these satellites into orbit. Amox SpaceX has already launched more than 8000 Starlink since 2019 Meanwhile a growing number of astronomers are warning that the large number of satellites is hampering their work and could pose an accident risk Yeah whatever So there's 600 kilometers

1:34:03 But Starlinks are lower, I think. I think they're closer to 350-400 kilometers? Well let's find out! Okay... Consult the Book of Knowledge! What? Uh.. well... The Book of Knowledge is slow today! Well it's just that I have to type something in... I know! And on that phone with those little keyboard is very hard. I'm using the regular keyboard I know, there's no threat vector against you. You're clean man! You got no mercenary spyware. Satellites are 342. Okay so Amazon is going to be at twice that height which will induce latency more latency. Yeah just go good? Doesn't seem like it's good but did you hear the 8000 satellites yeah i heard that That's a lot man and everyone's also jacked oh yes soon my T-Mobile phone will be able to use Starlink okay

1:35:03 Talk about a threat vector. All they have to do then is just target, zoom in, enhance, rotate, fire! Yeah pretty much You'll be done No, they're gonna first I'll be targeting the cartels in Mexico. Oh yeah? Oh yeah, I think we bring back ham radio for the kids It was much better you know short bursts Yep You know and you can do it you can push a button because send text messages to each other looks cool Walk around school kids would be like yeah with the thing on your belt making right making a racket

1:35:41 I don't know about CQ. All right, do you have any more sequences? Because I have something that I want to try and roll out and it's going to be difficult and you're gonna hate me for it so whatever you have that you want to get out of the way let's do it. Well yeah, I wanted play some data stuff from the USDS Department of Data's whatever what was the US Department of data service. That's the original name for doge No, this is a group of... well no. Yes the United States Digital Service that is the original name for Doge. Well it was kind of but they're bitching and moaning because they're getting fired and they end up but they make some good points that this is on NPR which is you know their big supporters are haters at Doges and supporters of everything that's in government But this woman makes a good point and stuff we talk about And I don't know what they're going to do about it

1:36:39 Karen Moronsky Chapman never saw her job as political. She just wanted to make the government work a little better I joined USDS to help people, to help American people deliver better services. She's a data scientist and for the last couple of years Karen has been quietly working deep inside the federal government at a little known agency called The United States Digital Service or USDS This is her first media interview. A lot of what I was doing was trying to bridge the different data silos across government and really just help agencies be more efficient and effective by using data to inform decisions. You can think of the USDS as a kind of help desk, though that would be underselling it. It's more like Help Desk meets SEAL Team 6

1:37:31 a kind of special ops team for broken websites. When federal systems start to fall apart, it's the USDS that gets the call. Like in spring 2024 when the Department of Education rolled out its new FAFSA application That's the form college students use to apply for federal financial aid. And last spring it broke in a spectacular way. The Department of Education just found a calculation error on hundreds of thousands of student aid applications Forms failed to upload, pages led nowhere. Students born in the year 2000 walked out completely. It was chaos. The FAFSA fiasco was pretty on par with like healthcare dot gov. Like it was pretty close to being a healthcare dot gov situation. Healthcare dot gov that was the catastrophic rollout of the Affordable Care Act what we call Obamacare these days

1:38:28 The website to sign up crashed just two hours after launch. Just to confirm, United States Digital Services was renamed by President Trump to Doge and they're using the same terms connecting the data silos acting as a help desk so this is one of the unsuccessful data scientists who were there and really weren't able to achieve anything except a very expensive Obamacare website. Hold on, she's still there. This is the thing that's weird about this story! Oh wow... Okay let it go It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it became a national embarrassment So disastrous it prompted the government to create the USDS To be a rescue team for things like this

1:39:15 So when FAFSA fell apart in 2024, it was Karen and her team who stepped in. They stabilized the site, unlocked access and got students the aid they needed. They've done this kind of work for the CDC, Social Security, education... It's high stakes, high pressure but Karen loved it! It's really easy to get addicted to this work because it's so meaningful there are very few roles that you can be positively impacting the lives of millions if not hundreds of millions of people And for a while it felt, well safe. Totally immune from the churn of politics. Yeah like technology is not political. Like technology should be nonpartisan It doesn't matter who's president I'm here to serve the people but i was wrong uh Joe just proved that technology and its use can be highly partisan The department of government efficiency is charged with rooting out waste fraud and abuse

1:40:10 But when it made its way to the U.S. Digital Services Department, it appeared to be taking an agency built to protect the government's digital systems and started doing just the opposite." A good analogy is like Jenga. And at some point, doge is pulling out pieces and somethings going to topple and we may not be able to put it back. Wasn't Kara Swisher's ex-wife in charge of her for a while? Megan? Didn't she go there? Not that I know of. Yeah, I think she did and was it Matt Cutts from Google? He was there for a while the guy who did Google search They had you know what they were doing is they were mine- they were the ones that were mining everything getting all the data for Obama That's what those guys would do and I remember this We talked about ad nauseam Ad nauseum! Ad nauseum I tell ya

1:41:03 So she doesn't like Doge. Doge is weaponizing my department! Is that the story? I think she lost one of her friends or something, but to Doge. You know, got fired... I mean, some. I can't really tell but she has a complaint coming up that is valuable. I remember when I heard that they had right access to Treasury, I was like oh my gosh! Like you can break things and not small things trillions of dollars worth of things like Social Security and tax refunds the majority of folks I see having been hired into Doge are very junior these systems are not going to be anything like anything that they have seen before

1:41:48 Take the Social Security system. It was built in the 60s and 70s, and it runs on COBOL a programming language that is two or even three times older than some of the DOGE staffers They clearly don't understand COBOL when they were like oh there's 150 year olds at social security Elon Musk talked about that during an interview on Fox The date gamut Cursory examination of social security And we've got people who live at 150 years old Now, do you know anyone who's 150? I don't. Okay.

1:42:34 These 150 year olds weren't getting checks. They just didn't have a birth date in the system and Karen said she would have told the doge people as much if they'd only asked but they never did They just assumed they knew better Well, we had that from our dudes named Ben the day after this this story broke about the 150 year olds now NPR showing up with the story Six minutes worth of story? Yeah, this is pretty funny. But she does... the point about Cobalt is a good point but except for one thing that I don't know why it hasn't been discussed It's not even mentioned. You mean why is there no birth date for these people

1:43:12 No, what about COBOL? COBOL is not hard to learn. Any one of these guys who are coding in machine language or assembler or anything actually can learn COBOL as well. The easiest languages still are. Why doesn't why doesn't they just say some junior guys I'm going to learn COBOL it's not a big deal that's right called the common business oriented language it was designed to be used by schmucks. Cobol SchmoBall just use grok baby! I'm sure Grok does a great job at COBOL. You're right, it's common... what was it again? What was the acronym? Common Business Oriented Language Yeah It is relatively simple unsophisticated language Well its got a sophistication to it but its very...I learned it once

1:44:04 I don't know if i could code in it now but, It's not a hard... Fortran is harder. Like COBOL is for schmucks that is a t-shirt or bumper sticker right there! You don't have to be a genius to code COBOL that's the point Yeah But im still stuck on how come there are so many records in this system where they dont have a birthdate what kind of system are you running over there? Well theres that Alright So since you broached the money topic with the Treasury there, I'm going to attempt and I may fail. And I hope you give me some grace? No! I hope you give me some grace... This preliminary stuff you're doing right now is already setting up the wall. I think i can explain this stablecoin gambit

1:45:00 Oh, I don't know if you can. This is going to bore people stiff. Well would you rather play TikTok clips instead? Yeah, I would actually yes but if you want to make the attempt...I don't know why you want to do this because it's Do you want to do it after the donation segment? No, why would we do it after the donation segment. Okay I'll do it all right I'll do it after donations no I'm just saying that because he's gonna give us a low count. No I'll do it after alright this is attention but then if I do it after the donation segment you can't grouse and go crap until the very end

1:45:45 Oh, I'll save it. Yeah, I can save it Okay yeah good but how many clips are we talking about here you make? It sound like is gonna be a half-hour presentation on stable coin now. I think it's probably about 17 minutes Oh my god Well, it might it will affect it affects world affairs Just saying if it will affect World Affairs and we have to learn things about what is the euro dollar Do you know what a euro dollar is No, we don't. We hear it all the time I can look it up It's just easier to look it up seems to me. I'll look it up Yeah Okay Well you do that You Look at Up and then I'll play some M5M news To entertain everybody to keep them listening until we get to the donation segment Ugh chills this morning anticipation is building for new music from one of the greatest voices of all time Yes eight-time Grammy winner Barbara Streisand announced this morning she is dropping a brand new album She's dropping it! And we've heard a sneak peek

1:46:45 Dropping? Pick it up! The first single called First Time Ever I Saw Your Face. The new record is called the Secret of Life Partners Volume 2. By the way, stop the clip for a second. Says we're on pet peeves Why don't they use the term like you always used in the past... Release? Yes release She's gonna release a new album instead if she's gonna drop an album Well that supposed to be hip or something? It should be hip That what the kids are talking about man You drop an album And by the way, they're so hip they call The Hoosiers The Hosiers which is kind of cool. It's a sequel to her 2014 platinum certified album and it has been more than a decade in the works She collaborated on the album with some of the best in business including Bob Dylan Paul McCartney Eric First off two dead guys right at the top! The best in business! Business including Bob Dylan

1:47:38 Barely! We all know, we all know John. And Dylan's alive? Dylan is barely alive and we all know John buried Paul stop. Including Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, Ariana Grande, Mariah Carey, Hosier and others. The album comes out June 27th. Alright Babs looking forward to that I'm looking forward to that woo a new duets album just dropped No she's not It's dropped it's dropped Pick it up dropped. Who saw this coming everybody? On the Medical Watch for you this afternoon, a newly found impact of vaccines on women. Medical reporter Dena Bair is here to explain. Dena. Lourdes and Ben, vaccines for the flu and COVID can alter the menstrual cycle it's not a permanent impact but for women who have a regular cycle getting a flu shot or a COVID vaccine changed the length of the cycle multiple studies confirm menstrual disturbances following vaccines

1:48:36 Now the Journal of the American Medical Association confirms concerns expressed by women. Experts say there's no need to worry, the cycle returns to normal and there shouldn't be a reason for vaccine hesitancy based on the menstrual cycle impact. We hammered this during COVID Yep, yep. And we got excoriated for it. This is bullcrap! Is that true? I did specifically... We had a lot of people angry and they all came back said oh i'm sorry you were right It interrupted, it disrupted, it increased flow, it became irregular like awesome like crazy flow

1:49:14 Yeah, the nurses were reporting it. But don't worry! There's nothing to worry about... Nothing to worry about at all. Don't worry about it These people are ghouls! And who saw this coming? Researchers at the University of Virginia say a new study has proven safe and effective. Whoa, safe and effective! You know that's gonna be a doozy this time I actually believe it. Safe and effective at desensitizing children to peanut allergies. Yeah UVA Health Children's researchers tested children by giving them increased doses of peanut protein now by the end of the study all 27 children were able to eat 500 milligrams of peanut protein daily

1:49:54 eight children are now freely eating peanuts. Researchers are calling for larger clinical trials to advance what could be a game-changing new treatment for peanut allergies in young children. Oh, go figure! For years we've been oh you can't have any peanuts near my child, my child was no good whereas if you just expose the kid to peanuts it turns out they're okay. Hello? Well they were never exposed young enough that's always been the issue Yes it's like so obvious People. Where's Bobby the Op in all of this? Yeah, that's what I like you know where is the Epstein files yeah I got some super cuts that'll round it out okay Supercuts are always good i'm glad you have them yo you have three holy crap

1:50:42 Yeah, because they're leading up to the current supercut that's floating around after chaos and threat to democracy. We have a couple of here we have the moment this one was a flop? The strength that we have... Sorry is the moment flop? The strength that we have is in this moment Listen to your constituents center them in this moment. But I can tell you that there are a lot of people that are watching his leadership in this moment, this is the moment... No, I think about what's happening you know in this moment What's important is that we meet this moment 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

1:51:28 against Elon Musk and Donald Trump in this moment. The fight that you all are exhibiting is not just what the base wants, but it's what this moment requires. The strength that we have in this moment... Well by the way I think we played this one already In fact, I'm pretty sure. Yeah these are some of this next one might be you talk about this one or the one next? No the in this moment we played the yeah but it was a flood just ideas that they were just repeating This is a flop. Yes and never worked out. Yep as a flaw and then we and would then we had to stretch democracy We have the chaos which I don't have any those are also super cuts They don't have but then we have the social media dangerous series Which we I think may have played But this is another version of it because it's got the

1:52:15 the annoying overlays, but this is another example of something that was they pushed this stuff out trying to I don't know if they're looking for it to catch hold or everyone say these are ineffective. Hi, I'm Fox San Antonio's Jessica Hedley. And I'm Ryan Wolfe Our greatest responsibility is to serve our Treasure Valley communities The El Paso-Las Cruces communities Eastern Iowa communities Mid Michigan communities We are extremely proud of the quality balanced journalism that CBS 4 News produces But... We are concerned about a country that is responsible for one side of the story, plaguing our country. Plaguing our country! The sharing of biased and false news has become all too common on social media More alarming some media outlets publish these same fake stories without checking facts first The sharing of biased and false news has become all too common on social media More alarming we find

1:53:12 This is extremely dangerous to our democracy. This is extremely dangerous to our democracy. This is extremely dangerous to our democracy. Yeah, I'm gonna use these. I'm speaking to the high school class

1:54:13 Yeah, you definitely use that one. About propaganda? Yeah I'm gonna show this to them yeah and it's like it's an embarrassment but they continue and this is the latest one that I think this is pretty new This one I have not seen This is the escalation this is the latest they're trying to get this into the mainstream thinking That you know Trump's escalation...I don't know why was that a bad term or they're trying to equate it with the soviet union i'm not sure but this is they're trying to use it get this word in there and it's all the same jerks We begin tonight with the escalation in the president's crackdown on illegal immigration. Today is dramatic escalation in the Trump administration's conflict with judges. The Trump administration signaling a major escalation and its deportation efforts. Today an escalation, and the Trump administration's battle with the judiciary. Tensions between local and federal authorities over President Trump's immigration crackdown escalated today. You begin this hour with a major escalation of the Trump administration's

1:55:14 on arresting a judge? I will tell you, you are not alone. It's a dramatic escalation of more aggressive moves, more escalations from the escalation of his migrant birds this kind of escalatory action this is a dramatic escalation escalation escalation escalation escalation escalation we've seen an emigration and escalation and escalation

1:55:53 Wow, that's a good one. I'm gonna give you a borderline for that. That was dynamite. That was good. Esculation! I need the whole Sharpton thing. This is an esculation of Trump! The esculation... I love him. Call it a migrant purge. Nice! Migrant Purge And with that esculation, i'd like to say in the morning to you uh the man who put the sea and the unclipable wench say hello to my friend on the other end the one the only Mr John C Boran

1:56:33 In the morning to you, Mr. Adam Curry in the morning I ship sea-booters on the ground feeding the air subs into water and the dames and knights out there. In the morning to the trolls and their troll run on me. Count it all hold on a second. Catch the trolls... Well i don't know man like i think your supercut chased everybody away 1880. Yeah i think that's right of your... Oh hold on oh no! Right away we lose them right away hold on a second That's crazy. Right over the minute you started talking, it switched interfaces again. Oh! Can you hear me now? I can hear you now. I hear ya. Can you hear me now?! I hear you know! You sound great. I don't know what that is... Somethings triggering it What!? The question is what's triggering it

1:57:24 Yeah. Something! Anyway, 1880 is the count on the trolls in the troll room, trollroom.io and that is where you can go to listen to this show live we've been doing it live for a long time We are in our eighteenth year and The Troll Room was fun It's ephemeral because you can go there and go BLEGHHGGHHGGHHGGHHGGHHGGHHGGHHGGHHGGHHGGHHGGHHGGHHGGHHGGHHGGHHGGHHGGHHGGHHGGHHGGHHGGHHGGHHGGHHGGHHGGHHGGHHGGHHGGHHGGHHGGHHGGHHGGHHGGHHGGHHGGHHGGHHGGHHGGHHGGHHGGHHGGHHGGHHGGHHGGHHGGHHGGHHGGHHGGH And it doesn't matter. Then you're just shouting into the void, it doesn't really make any difference So get out of your system in the troll room and listen to us live at TrollRoom.io or Get a modern podcast app I really do recommend it by the way. I think we talked about pocket casts last time and so there's now definitive answer from Apple that they donate button in the app is okay

1:58:09 So everybody is now doing this. They're adding the donate button into their apps so when... Apple said it's okay, so it's okay? Yes! Is that the way this works? Yes if it's not okay then they'll go you have to use apple pay and we take 30% Don't you understand? That was... Oh, I see what you're talking about. This has always been the problem and the app developers have always been afraid like oh man my app will get rejected if i put this in there No! nooo You can put it in there And its great because then people are listening to me, oh I should support these guys Let me just look at my app that im already using Click boom! You can support us As part of our value for value method By the way Troublemakers abound

1:58:53 We got an AI generated note from Mel Cooley, executive producer. Did you see this? No An AI review of our show Urgent content review and advertiser feedback I think i did see this, I didn't look at it though. Gentlemen this memo requires your immediate attention following the broadcast of episode 1759 we have received deeply concerning feedback from our key advertisers the response has been negative and frankly threatens our financial stability specifically advertisers have cited the following issues as problematic and potentially brand damaging The give on Asian media assassination tagline Did we use that?

1:59:35 I don't remember that. I don't know what you're talking about! I don't know either, this was flagged immediately as insensitive and potentially offensive the lengthy and seemingly unfocused segments Did i get this email or not? No, I don't think so. I don't remember it So AI analyzed our show 1759 as an advertiser and they hate it Several advertisers noted the extended period. That proves our complete point Yes I'll read a few more several advertisers noted the extended periods dedicated to topics like the Pope's funeral and the minutiae of online hoaxes They feel the show lacked a clear through line at times meandering losing audience engagement and by extension the value of their placements

2:00:17 The tapping me along discussion, while intended as analysis the extended speculation on Trump's ambiguous phrasing. Oh by the way that's interesting they brought that up yep because we know what it means well there's two versions well the version I believe to be the right version is the golfing one yes i agree i think that's the right one cause he's a golfer! Yes tapping along as a golf term you know put-put-putt tapping the ball along slowly there is a second one however from producer Andy, he says in a pig slaughterhouse there's a guy who uses a rattle attached to a broomstick to keep the pigs moving into their final destination by tapping it on the floor behind them. Yeah I don't think that's it...I like it though! It's visual. But glad that they AI picked it up because they picked it up as boring yes boring now well wait let's back off for a second now why was this sent in the first place?

2:01:16 Was it, was it... what is the end game here of this sending this note to us? We don't have advertisers so its got nothing to do with any real advertisers. It's some sort of a phony baloney scam No! This is someone who thought they could find good use for AI Oh and this is what they found? This is it The extended listener donation segment. Here we go... While listener support is vital, the length of the donation readouts including personal anecdotes and tangents was cited as excessive and disruptive to the show's flow. Advertisers are concerned that this extended segment reduces the time available for content and their messaging! And then finally

2:01:59 tone and language. Certain advertisers express discomfort with the overall tone, particularly the use of dismissive language like bullcrap and jamokes... Well at least it nailed it! ...and the sometimes cynical and negative framing of news events they prefer a more measured and analytical approach." And he goes on and on and on Wow, you gotta send me that. Yeah I will! There's even the AI then made a rap song out of it which i will not bore you with No, we don't need that It's horrible...it just is crap So anyway, Time Talent Treasure is how we operate this ship

2:02:38 Which means we need your financial support, but we appreciate any kind of time and talent that you put into it. Which includes the work that our artists do! They always provide us with a piece of artwork that we can use as the album art to get attention for engagement farming on the socials... To be quite honest about it And it always seems to work People love this one although I did get the errant... Hey man if you hate Tim Pool so much just don't talk about him You're sending audience to him Okay, all right. I'm sure because episode 1759 titled eat the babies I don't care about sending audience to Tim pool one way or the other I know but this is I'm just giving you the feedback I'm giving you true. I mean if he were if he gets audience He gets some recognition on this show maybe he'll maybe maybe he'll log roll and give us a plug It's called pod rolling pod rolling your pod role

2:03:33 You don't log roll. That's so 2005, it's pod rolling The artwork came to us from a well-known artist Capitalist Agenda and it was indeed the Beanie Boys beanie with the googly eyes Googly eyes is what made it work In his seat at the New Media chair Oh by the way I had a... where do I have that? There was a new guy in the New Media chair Let me see Where did I have that And the new guy... You know, that's an embarrassment being in that chair it seems to me. Well the guy in at this time was Winston Marshall formerly guitarist and banjo player of Mumford & Sons he's British and he now occupies this seat and I think this was also a set up bullcrap question sorry advertisers

2:04:32 As he was referring to the... assorted state of affairs in his home country of the United Kingdoms. In Britain, we have had over a quarter million people issued non-crime hate incidents as we speak there are people in prison for quite literally reposting memes We have extensive prison sentences and for tweets social media posts and general free speech issues Would the Trump administration consider political asylum for British citizens in such a situation? Well, to your latter question it's a very good one. I have not heard that proposed to the president nor have i spoken to him about that idea but I certainly can and talk to our national security team and see if its something the administration would entertain Yes please

2:05:26 Asylum for the Brits, I tell you. That was a set-up question! You think? So we know that chair is specifically there for bull crap. It's the set up bull crap chair yes and of course everyone goes along with it. I wonder if they hand them a script would like to be in the chair this week Sure, well you can you do this and they give it to give you a script. I look it over and you decide yeah, I can do that If if they if they have to memorize it Yeah, you have to memorize it okay? I can manage that imagine that they said okay curry Europe You're in the new media chair I'd sit there And then I just I just had to have the script but then I'll hold up a picture and say hey Carolyn What's this in your mouth? That's what I would do that way you wouldn't know you're right. Oh, we wouldn't do that You know

2:06:16 The first lobbering Anyway, thank you very much capitalist agenda. You're a unanimous winner let's take a quick look at no agenda art generator comm Was there anything that had a lot of tapping stuff? That was so the heads and shoulders above everything else I didn't want to actually use it because they said we don't need it Send audience to him. Just send audience, it's not that so much as kind of an insulting thing But it's so funny you have to say. You said specifically, it's the googly eyes that make it work. It is the googly eyes! It was definitely the googly eyes. It was fantastic. Yeah no capitalist agenda has skills he's got mad skills and yeah he's got a little tag with this new media on the earphones. Idiotic! Well ever since Tim Poole, you know the

2:07:12 million dollars came out and he thought that it was because he was that good. They just had to make fun of him I mean remember the Russian money? Oh yeah, who can you forget?

We go out, we hit people in the mouth Whoa!

2:23:43 Thank you all very much. Wonderful! Hey John, I've got some stablecoin stuff i want to share with you Oh, I'm all ears So there is a bill in Congress right now it's the Stablecoin Bill we'll talk about that in a minute but throughout the past couple of weeks I've been talking about Things like the Mar-a-Lago Accords, understanding the strong dollar versus the weak dollar. What is President Trump trying to do? And the only thing I really had known or knew up until recently about stablecoin is The main stable coin that has been in consideration for use by the US government specifically the Treasury and I presume By osmosis the Federal Reserve is Tether and

2:24:38 All you need to know about that is a stable coin is pegged to $1.00, one stable coin is $1 and it is backed by US Treasury so this company Tether they only have 40 people working there all they're doing is they're buying massive amounts of Treasuries short-term treasury so T bills American debt and they're making hundreds of millions of dollars based upon the interest rate, and for every single dollar they buy in treasury they make a stablecoin. So it's really a way to make more US dollars of the digital kind

2:25:19 And I've learned a lot about this, and we're going to start with Planet Money. So it's kind of a mainstream show from NPR and it has a little bit of talk about stablecoin and the Mar-a-Lago Accords Then there is what we have dubbed the weak dollar school Essentially because people around the world use the dollar so much that pushes up the dollars value and actually hurts American exporters The weak dollar school wants to see the American Dollar devalued This School of Thought is led by the chair of the Council of Economic Advisers, a guy named Stephen Myron. More than half the world's trade is done in dollars even when neither country trading is the U.S.

2:25:59 Simon boils the weak dollar school down to this. The cost for America in doing this is that you have a dollar that has been distorted, in his view basically this means overvalued and that has held back American exporters. A strong dollar means that American consumers can afford to buy more stuff from overseas and so American factories find it harder to compete with these cheap imports And so There's different ways that other countries can begin to address this problem. They could basically agree to buy more American products, they could invest more in America. One solution that he expressed which I think is a little bit tongue-in-cheek is that they could just send checks directly to the US Treasury to basically pay them a fee for services

2:26:46 Or, alternatively America could impose tariffs. The big idea in Steven Myron's paper is that leaders of countries from around the world would descend on South Florida make a grand deal with President Trump to help weaken the dollar and this would be called the Mar-a-Lago Accord You can see how it's something that appeals to President Trump but kind of intellectualizes his instinctual view that America has been wronged Okay, so the problem we have in America is because everybody wants our dollars. Everybody uses our dollars. The dollar is very strong against other currencies and therefore our products when we want to export them are too expensive We're not like the cheap Chinese crap

2:27:32 That's why I believe the temporary measure is these tariffs. Now, what I've learned is and I've heard this term so many times euro-dollar, I never understood what it meant The difference between the American dollar we have here in America and the Eurodollar is exactly that. A Eurodollar is every dollar that's in banks or financial systems outside the US, and it's a lot of money! And this money really hurts us, particularly in the hands of China because they control how strong our dollar is by how much they use it where they send it. How much they buy etc Here is analyst Matt Pines explaining a little bit about the dangers of other countries holding

2:28:21 large quantities of dollars, in this case eurodollars. Don't be confused by the euro part if it's outside of America it's a eurodollar there are flows of goods coming into the United States and flows of dollars going overseas and a lot of those dollars are pouring into China And then China, as an entity is a balance sheet is then deciding how to deploy those dollars. And it's in some ways deploying them into domestic investment. Some ways it's deploying them overseas investment like Belt Road Initiative but other ways it also redeploying back into the US and other sort of advanced financial markets into financial assets

2:28:59 right, into our NASDAQ and to our real estate and to our farmland. And so the U.S has sort of watched over the past few years how much sort of those dollars are kind of round tripping back into the US. And for certain elements in the US that's great. Right? We get you know that extra marginal dollar is going into NVIDIA stock and it helps everyone's 401ks. There is such a thing in the DoD, intelligence community, it's like a term of art, adversarial capital. And tracking adversarial capital is like a very important mission inside the United States government so they don't just see dollars going back and forth international trade and financial investment as just sort of fundamentally neutral cycle of trade and investment they see it as security issue especially if you see some of these flows come with invisible strings attached

2:29:49 attached, right? Or often those capital flows have implicitly or explicitly corrupt the political systems that they get deployed in. And they sort of shape over time the political systems in the West. We've seen stories in Canada and Australia even in the US New Zealand even Japan South Korea Taiwan a lot of these countries that are very much at the tipping point of where to shape strategic opinion among key decision makers So, what I understand of this stablecoin bill which is now in Congress is the idea to make all the Eurodollars everything that's not in America make those stablecoin which will be backed by US Treasury so they are backed by something that supposedly really secure and really good.

2:30:40 Those dollars can because they're digital, can be completely tracked. We know if someone's trying to buy off politicians and you will not be allowed to use the US dollars in America dollars outside of the United States if you want the dollar that way you get this stable coin which basically is is a little piece of the US Treasury which equals $1. And so here's Caitlin Long to explain the stablecoin bill. The stablecoin bill is going to create for the first time an endorsed differential between an offshore dollar and an onshore dollar. The Fed, particularly because of the control of the European banks on the Eurodollar market. What is a Euro dollar? Let's go back to it goes back to the 1950s when Russia didn't want to hold during the Cold War its dollars in a US bank because it was afraid they'd be confiscated so it got the European banks to agree to take U.S. dollar deposits So there was this huge offshore market which is actually as big if not bigger than the onshore U.S. dollar market It is big

2:31:38 And to your point, it hasn't been in control of the Fed. Well the Fed is now arrested control over interest rates –the most important interest rate was until recently Libor– it's now SOFR and used to be unsecured priced in London, it's now secured pricing New York. Okay, here comes Tether. Tether is a company that For all the allegations around it related to money laundering, etc. Now what's fascinating to me is that Congress is about to ensconce this by saying okay you can be an offshore issuer and you don't have to do all the same know your customer and anti-money laundering

2:32:23 Rules that particularly bank has to do bank has to do with something called CIP up front you have to before you onboard a customer or two of bank. You have to do all the know your customer and enhanced customer information program up front. FinTechs don't have to do that and Lord knows an offshore company does not. And that offshore company will be Cantor Fitzgerald, Lutnick's company they're the ones that are these...they hold all of the treasuries for For this tether stable coin. This thing is outrageously popular all across the world I didn't even realize how big this this stable coin is it's being used by shop merchants By regular people everywhere because their own currency is so unstable they prefer to use

2:33:15 the Tether stablecoin and they can easily pay with it. They're already doing it, is just on your phone. It's back and forth. And here's a quick clip about how big Stablecoin particularly Tether really is. Tether is pushing the U.S. dollar out into emerging markets down to the Communities that nobody has banked before because nobody could figure out how to bank them and those communities banked them profitably. And note, those community Tether did hats off to them for doing that they those communities have access to the US dollar for the first time an in most of those emerging

2:33:50 markets, they would much rather have a US dollar than their own local currency. And Tether has built this distribution channel and there is nobody competing with them and they're pushing the US dollar out into the distribution channel and they're recycling those tiny amounts of money from working class in emerging markets. I think they have 400 million users it's a stunning number of users. They are biggest financial company in the world right now and just keep getting bigger And they are recycling all of those flows back into the U.S. Treasury market. What is that doing? Because those are not going to be panic sellers, what is that doing that is increasing the resilience of the US Treasury markets? And that is exactly the point in making the dollar strong as a currency and usable outside the U.S with the euro dollar and we can then control our own interest rate because

2:34:44 Libor the London Interbank offered rate which was the standard if you've ever looked at your car statement or your mortgage It'll say, you know on an adjustable rate. It'll say we offer you this money and LIBOR plus 1% or plus 2% Live what? We remember there was a big scandal with LIBOR in 2008 LIBOR Was already set to be replaced and killed off by something called SOFR the secured overnight financing rate from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. And so this is Bloomberg seven years ago, this is how long this is in the making talking about this new way to set interest rates not by British banks and JP Morgan they were part of that who are just doing willy-nilly whatever they wanted which kept

2:35:33 us not in control of interest rates in America, they were already talking about this SOFR. Ed let's start first with the SOFR situation which I have to confess I'm not an expert on this but it's sort of oopsie. Nobody is. Oopsies isn't that what you say? Oopsy! So the Fed comes out with his new alternative to LIBOR and there trying to compete with some other alternatives over in Europe to say this way should peg your interest rate and then they discover oh we included some transactions where supposed to be including I call it so far. I thought that sounded better, but... I've heard so frah, I've heard so furr, I've heard so far. So far, so bad! It's kind of a case of better the devil you know. Look, Libor as we know was not perfect in fact it was far from perfect

2:36:14 But this is, as you say the alternative and it's already gone wrong. Two weeks in and it has already gone wrong so what happened here is essentially the Fed have come out and they've said some forward settling overnight treasury repo transactions were included where they shouldn't have been included so all of that two week period It's botched. Now, they said they're not going to republish it but they are going to publish alongside it sort of data theoretical data of what it would look like if you stripped out those transactions So it is a bit of a mess and I think the real challenge Is this? A lot of people obviously still use LIBOR as the benchmark That's gonna end in 2021 because yes here in the UK have said that at that point it will disappear Yeah

2:36:52 How do you get people to migrate across to something if it shows, even at this sort of very early stage that it's unreliable? This thing needs to be absolutely rock solid. If it's going to convince people to migrate across. It means the derivative projects which supposedly those products are coming So, this thing has migrated. As of March 31st 2025 the last LIBOR contracts the last derivatives were finally all settled taken care of and now SOFR is the new interest rate setting standard for interest rates, which is completely in control now of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. And this timing I find interesting because on April 2nd he said he wanted to do on the 1st but it came on the second President Trump talked about... My fellow Americans this is Liberation Day

2:37:42 And maybe it was under the guise of the tariffs, but I think it was really about this interest rate that is now being set by us. We're in control of it and we're leaving the stable coin as the ghetto dollar over there for the euro dollar and they can do whatever they want. It's all backed by us. And this stable coin has a lot of properties that make it very interesting not just overseas but internally as well. And by way Tether created the killer use case, which is for the US dollar. And a lot of people look at it and say why do you need a blockchain for that? That's an inefficient database. Yes, of course it's an inefficient database but what were they able to do create incredible network effects by having 400 million users globally that's bigger than the United States. Incredible network effects! That's what we're tapping into

2:38:28 What are the green fields? The biggest one is putting that into the regulated banking industry. Everybody right now is forced into Fedwire, ACH and a little bit of FedNow but that was such a controlled closed system that it hasn't really taken off, Fedwire and ACH. Hell stable coins are faster cheaper more auditable more programmable safer from an IT security perspective I would argue for a whole host of reasons this is a game changer to push that into the green field of the traditional banking system so to wrap it up I think the stable coin gambit

2:39:07 is to keep the US dollar as the strongest, most secure backed by US Treasuries dollar everywhere in the world. But we through SOFR will control our own interest rates It's a big big long game gamble and if Trump can pull it off I don't know if it's gonna be good or not but it's definitely going to change the way finance works throughout the world And that's all I know for now How does this benefit bankers? I believe that bankers, part of the SBA rule 12, that bankers can now issue their own version of stablecoin. And so they can do whatever they want because they like buying treasury. So by a treasury i can issue a stable coin

2:40:02 And I can issue it domestically, I can issue it internationally. I think that's where they come into play. How would this differ from the olden days when banks used to actually print their own money? Well the difference is at that point they had to have gold to back their own money and now you have to have treasuries which is probably just as wonky That's why I'm not sure it's a great idea. I'm not saying it's a great idea, I think it's what they're trying to do It just... you know? It's complicated! I didn't even know what a euro dollar was until yesterday We got a call from the government Shut up Curry There ya go That's my stablecoin presentation

2:40:58 It wasn't as bad as I thought. Oh, well thank you that coming from you is a huge endorsement. I don't know about that! There's the government do you need to talk to him or? I'm gonna go pick that up but why don't you play the clip about the impeachment the partial impeachment announced okay partial impeachment uh partial impeach impartial this is congressman shreeth anidar Donald Trump has already done real damage to our democracy. But defying a unanimous 9-0 Supreme Court ruling? That has to be the final straw, it's time we impeach Donald J Trump! The court said the wrongfully deported Kilmer Garcia must be allowed to return and receive due process.

2:41:45 He ignored the Constitution. He ignored the very checks and balances that keep our democracy intact This isn't an isolated incident, it's part of a dangerous deliberate pattern That is why today I introduced a resolution to impeach Donald J Trump Outlining seven articles of impeachment Article 1 obstruction of justice and abuse of executive power. From denying due process to unlawful deportations, Trump defied court orders. Is this a call you got earlier today? On your... is this a robo-call? The call I got was the Arborist cancelling

2:42:38 Oh no, and that's... I've been waiting months for this. Well you and me both. Why would the arborist...? And so John has a branch which has been squeaking against his window for months. Sometimes i can hear it if it's windy on the show but I almost always hear it after the show when I turn all the noise gates off like oh man that thing must be driving you nuts! Well it's only when you have a southerly breeze So anyway, so that's the guy. He's a screwball looking character I don't even know what he's thinking He's got a wig on and he's like... Seriously you should check this out And it went on and on. He's got about eight points It is of course gonna go nowhere but is making a big scene in there sounds like a moron Yeah But that's big news Big news Articles of impeachment finally someone did it

2:43:35 Yeah, I was waiting for Al Green but he didn't do it yet. No Okay, TikTok! Yay They're both short they're both under a minute okay The dating app girl Dating app girl So i'm scrolling the dating apps earlier and for the first 20 swipes is conservative moderate conservative moderate apolitical nothing conservative conservative conservative conservative conservative conservative moderate and to me conservative moderate and apolitical and nothing is all the same thing you all are MAGA So immediately, no. No! No! No! No! No! No! No! Took me 20 swipes to finally find a liberal. I'm like gee what the fuck is going on? Why is everybody MAGA? It's not that everybody's MAGA it's uh you know the male loneliness epidemic...it's because nobody wants to date them they don't make good partners that's why there are so many single ones out there

2:44:31 All the liberals are taken, not all of them. Obviously there's some out there but like I rather have no dates than ever date a MAGA ever fucking again so i will scroll until my fingers fall off until I can find the perfect liberal Why do they always have to cuss all the time? This cussing is unbelievable It's getting annoying! it's very annoying and there's nothing you can do about it They won't stop it. No, they want here's another here's another woman this one here is complaining about her time blindness no Time blindness which is my favorite topic please I'm time blind that's why I am late We went through this several times in the past couple of years Yep So I just got yelled out for asking a very reasonable question

2:45:18 So I'm applying to go somewhere and I just wanted to know are there accommodations for people who struggle with time blindness and being on time, you know. And then the person that I was with interrupted and acted like I was asking something else and then when we were done they actually started yelling at me saying that accommodations for time blindness doesn't exist and if you struggle with being on time you'll never be able to get a job provided your trying your absolute best to be there. Then their like your stupid generation wants to destroy the workplace Yeah, I think that a culture where workers are just cut off because they struggle being on time when there's other solutions that we can look to. Anybody who thinks it is okay to treat people like that? Yes! That culture needs to be dismantled and then i ask the person how can you feel good about yourself upholding this kind of system and then to think I'm entitled no if people think its okay to treat others like this thats entitlement

2:46:13 Oh, brother. I like the way she reversed it were reverse roles there You're entitled because you're on time stop it This is not healthy. I'm worried about you. He should not be watching too much of this. No this is good stuff Yes everybody loves it It's all engagement farming. I don't believe any of these people as being honest a singer Not a single one you think they're real? I think they're all phony I think most of them are real. There's a couple phonies, but they're pretty obvious when you see him Let's play this this is a Since you played that thing about the stable coin let's play this clip This is team move versus France Oh Timu the trade war between the US and China has also affected Europe as several European countries report a surge in dumped Chinese products on their market

2:47:00 Last year, 1.5 billion parcels mostly from China entered France averaging just around $10 each. Authorities are concerned with this trend which poses a threat not only to local producers but also to consumers On Tuesday four French ministers unveiled a plan to tackle the flood of low-cost parcels from China To protect consumers the government will triple inspections this year checking product safety labeling and environmental claims We're also looking to the EU to end customs duty exemption for parcels under $170 to protect local businesses. Yann Rivoy-Allant is president of the French Women's Prêt-à-Porter Federation. Wait a minute, is France putting something equal to tariffs in place against China? Is that what I'm hearing? That's kind of what you're hearing but the number I thought was interesting that in France are getting 1.5 billion packages

2:47:55 of cheap Chinese crap. Nice! He says the influx of Chinese products has led to around 10,000 job losses over the past two years and the closure of several fashion brands he also says a friend fashion brands are unable to compete Every week brands send me copies of counterfeit products made in China first our designs are being stolen Second, the employees of Shane or Temu are being exploited. They're paid a pittance and forced to work from 75 to over 100 hours a week with barely one day off a month. This is clearly unacceptable. They also commit tax fraud by declaring underreported sales figures

2:48:36 According to the government, over 90% of these products are unsafe for consumers. However Rivo Allon says the new measures fall far short and should be aligned with stronger US actions against such platforms. It's totally ridiculous compared to what the United States is doing with $100 on each of these packages. So we're in a situation where we know that over 90% of products are dangerous for the French, dangerous for consumers, for our jobs and for the planet and yet we're putting in place a small measure with barely 10 percent tax potential." It's really amazing... The junk-the cheap junk we have from China this microphone I'm using right now cheap junk from China this Yeti cup

2:49:21 American Yeti, Texas company. Made in China This bell? China! This whistle? China My Light Phone 3?! China!! It's all from China And I look at the stuff and go do i really need all this stuff Do you know...do I really need it? My guns are not from China My guns are not from China YET! We probably need to just have this story out for a moment because it's not really a big topic. You know there was a pretty bad attack on tourists there, you know Pakistan and India heating up and here is the latest from Pakistan... We start with the dispute between India and Pakistan following a deadly attack in Indian administered Kashmir which left 26 people dead last week

2:50:13 The Indian Prime Minister Mahendra Modi has been holding high-level talks with his cabinet in response to the attack which it blames on Pakistan, a claim repeatedly denied by Islamabad. Pakistan's information minister says his country has credible intelligence that India is planning to attack Pakistan open heartedly offered a credible, transparent and independent investigation by a neutral commission of experts to ascertain the truth. Unfortunately, rather than pursuing the path of reason India has apparently decided to tread the dangerous path of irrationality and confrontation which will have catastrophic consequences for the complete region and beyond. World leaders have expressed deep concern and urged restraint by the uneasy neighbors who fought several wars and who both have nuclear weapons

2:51:09 Man, Led Zeppelin did songs about Kashmir. Can these guys not just settle it finally? What is so special? Seems unlikely... What is so special about the Kashmir region? Everybody thinks its a fabulous place and both sides think they own it. Well what's so fabulous about it does it have a beach no Well, just be fabulous. I don't know what the way they can't get it well we have Pakistanis and Indians in our The explanation will be biased and both that do we won't get we won't find out any well take bias over nothing but over this report They're going to strike us why

2:51:59 We don't know why. You're right, they've been bitching about it for decades. I have a real news clip if you want to play the jingle. Goodness gracious! I haven't done this in over a year. And now, back to Real News. Okay! Time for real news. What do you have? So the sports ball people are talking today everyone's talking and ridiculing this guy including Megan Kelly yes yeah and this is Bill Belichick who's a like I don't know he's 60 70 it's like 72 i think and he's got a 24 year old girlfriend go right on

2:52:46 Go Bill! What a lot of people say. And so he was interviewed by CBS Morning and then they had to clip some of her in there because she was being annoying at the interview, she's butting in a lot and then he came back with this comment about it and then CBS came back with the comment and went back-and-forth but here is the Megyn Kelly as Belichick This is the Megyn Kelly report on it and she's of course, you know... She's Megyn. It's horrible. She's Megyn. So this guy Bill Belichick has been in the news lately because his girlfriend I think is 50 years or 47 to 50 years difference between Belichick and him Is she mad about that? Is that the premise? She's mad about the age difference with the chick? No, she doesn't express this but you know she is Young gal pal so she shows up at these black tie events with him

2:53:41 wearing nothing. She's basically wearing like a bikini and he is wearing normal man's clothing. And it looks weird, you know like okay whatever I guess I'm not Who am I to judge, but I'm judging. And I won't lie it's weird and i'm pretty sure she is with him because he's very famous and probably has a lot of money and gets her access to cool things that's my guess. What? Gambling! But anyway um He gives this interview and now it's starting to look much more like a Jill Biden situation That's all I could think of you guys. Like she's like Dr. G on the sidelines calling all the shots and trying to decide what he can answer and what he can't in this interview, and what we learned today...I'll show you the clip but what we learned today was that

2:54:26 It was far worse than CBS this morning, which is like a nice program. They try to do like nice stories would even air the reason reportedly that they chose to air this one interruption of hers is because it was far worse than this she was trying to dominate behind the scenes and they felt it was okay to include one of her interruptions just to give the audience, and just do it to be transparent. That they had this monster on screen left who was completely trying to control him and it was to the point where they didn't feel like it would have journalistic integrity if they didn't show at least some of it watch this. The other change for Belichick is 24 year old Jordan Hudson

2:55:07 his creative muse as he writes in his book. Jordan was a constant presence during our interview You have Jordan right over there everybody in the world seems to be following this relationship they've got an opinion about your private life it's got nothing to do with them but they're invested in it how do you deal with that? I've never been too worried about what everybody else thinks just try to do what I feel like is best for me and then what's right How did you guys meet? We weren't talking about this No. It's a topic neither one of them is comfortable commenting on. What? And it went on! Like the portion I talked to you about, like it went on and onto where it was very cringy or like oh god

2:55:54 Oh, Megan how deep you have sunk. Why is she doing this? She's the woman who was like the big political journalist lawyer and all she can do is show business stuff I'm sure it's great well we know the answer It's great for downloads, it's great for views, its numbers This is why value-for-value was a much better way to do it You don't need numbers to survive And you don't need to deal with these people who send us AI analysis of the show being anti-advertiser.

2:56:50 Yeah, we did pretty well today. So that was nice. That was nice very nice Hopefully by we got it We got the big show coming up on Sunday this sanko to Mayo special whoa everybody yeah Marjorie Santelli starts us off she's in Kirtland Ohio one two three four five The Ash in Texas, in Flower Mound. 12121 and that's an L.

3:17:17 And it gives you summaries of the reviews and it gives you star ratings. It even goes to Seller Tracker, which is a site that a lot of people think is great. I have Seller Tracker the app. Yes, Seller Tracker the app which is a way Which is amateurs raiding the wines. That's correct, it's amateurs raiding the wine taking pictures of the label The label goes oh it should cost you this much Yeah but its got the seller tracker number in there too It's dynamite This a godsend for anyone who buys wine And do you recommend this 1990 bottle that you just mentioned?
