About this episode

Guy Edward Bartkus faces charges following an intentional explosion at the American Reproductive Centers fertility clinic in Palm Springs. The 29-year-old suspect, a self-described pro-mortalist, allegedly targeted the facility due to nihilistic grievances regarding his own birth without consent. Attorney General Pam Bondi condemned the violence while investigators linked the suspect's ideology to a broader trend of nihilistic violence and pharmaceutical-influenced mental health crises among Generation Z.

In international diplomacy, Donald Trump prepares for high-stakes negotiations with Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky following a failed Istanbul summit where the Kremlin sent a lower-ranking culture minister. Former Ambassador Bridget Brink and State Department official Andrew Weiss criticized the administration's approach as appeasement on PBS, while Mike Pence defended traditional interventionism on Meet the Press. Simultaneously, the Trump administration is expediting refugee status for white South African farmers, a move that Patrick Gaspar and MSNBC analysts characterized as a signal to white supremacist groups. Economic shifts continue as Senator Rand Paul and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent clash over the impact of tariffs on Walmart prices and the validity of trade deficit accounting.

Cultural tensions flared at Eurovision 2025 as the Austrian singer JJ secured a victory amidst pro-Palestinian protests and accusations of satanic imagery. Bruce Springsteen drew sharp criticism for a Manchester concert speech where he labeled the United States government as rogue and unfit. Between discussions on James Comey's cryptic seashell social media posts and the rise of early-onset cancer reported by Dr. Arif Kamal, John C. Dvorak and Adam Curry explore the utility of Tabasco Scorpion Pepper Sauce and the necessity of pheromone traps to protect Turkish rugs from moth infestations.

Keir Starmer, Gaelic Name Etymology

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak open the program from the Texas Hill Country and Northern Silicon Valley. They discuss the etymology of the name Keir, referencing UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Dvorak notes the Gaelic meaning "little dark one," leading to a brief comedic riff involving a Dana Carvey impression.

Palm Springs Fertility Clinic Bombing, Media Speculation

An intentional explosion occurred outside the American Reproductive Centers fertility clinic in Palm Springs, California. Initial news reports from NPR, KTLA, and ABC News characterized the event as an act of domestic terrorism, with analysts speculating the target was chosen due to the clinic's IVF services or its connection to the LGBTQ community. Attorney General Pam Bondi issued a statement condemning the violence while noting the political sensitivity surrounding IVF and embryo loss.

01:32 And I didn't have a chance. What? Which brings me to the story that I'd like to introduce, because of the quad box. But when I... Okay can I talk about what's on the quad box then you can introduce the story of the quad box? Yeah pretty sure I know what's on the quad box but go ahead. What's on the quad box? Well, the same five stories as are all the quads No there is only four it isn't five in the quad! That would be a quintbox It's a quad box The story is the guy who blew up the fertility clinic in Palm Springs, by the way I've not heard from the anonymous gay accountant who i did text this morning because he lives there. Well I'm glad you used his story exactly the story I want to talk about because I have some input Can I play the presumptive news reports about it first?

02:20 Well, wait. Because you have the latest one... No no I don't! I don't have the latest. I have yesterday's but it's okay we'll do yours because Oh well i have yesterday's too You really want to talk so please you do it Yeah I do want to talk. I wanna talk. You DO! You TALK! Try SoCal IV this is the boringest one your yours will be better than this maybe SoCal IV F-bombing. NPR! In California, the FBI says an explosion this morning near a reproductive clinic in Palm Springs was deliberate This was an intentional act of terrorism

02:58 As our investigation will unfold, we will determine if it's an international terrorism or domestic terrorism. That's Akil Davis the assistant director of the FBI's Los Angeles field office he says one person died and they're working to identify them several others were injured. Davis also says the FBI has a person of interest but that they aren't actively searching for a suspect He says it's one of the largest bombings in Southern California. The explosion damaged several buildings and left blocks littered with debris Palm Springs Police Chief Andy Mills says they're dealing with a massive crime scene A doctor at the clinic, Maher Abdallah says the building is damaged but the IVF lab eggs and embryos are okay The FBI and ATF are joining local police in investigating this bombing There's no word on a motive Well I have the clip with the motive

03:50 I thought you had the- that was, that was the whole beauty of this whole setup that i was doing. That you interrupted? No! That's why I started with a lousy clip. I said it wasn't going to be as good as yours if you hadn't noticed... I didn't know I noticed your clip was lousy! Totally okay can I play mine or do you have something you'd like to introduce? No my stuff is all to be read The unthinkable happened in the desert resort. No, wait just stop a second no that was this clip is already a fake clip because nobody had a recording of the bomb they met that totally they made it and Nat pop Right up front. It's awesome these people are so bad The unthinkable happened in the desert resort known as Palm Springs a massive bomb blast set off in or near a car it's not really called Palm Springs is just known as Where did this clip come from? I think this is like NBC yeah, I think it's local

04:50 Oh, local. I think it's KTLA actually so it's a Los Angeles clip Massive bomb blasts set off in or near a car killed one person and injured several others In what the FBI calls an act of terrorism They say the target was a fertility clinic and in vitro fertilization lab which involves fertilizing eggs with sperm outside the body Federal agents are now trying to determine who did this and why. If you look at terrorist movements, terrorist groups, violent extremist groups in the past even violent extremist individuals in the past

05:28 Often they will have a list of targets. Get ready. Cal Kemper is a retired Marine Corps intelligence officer who has worked with and trained law enforcement personnel in the Palm Springs area There's a variety of things that don't necessarily make the news, but there are a variety of threats and other things that they work on out there so Oh yeah I'm in the know They'll be looking at a broad array. Burning questions, was the person killed in the blast also the one who triggered it? Was this domestic or international terrorism? Was the perpetrator attempting to record or live stream the carnage?

06:07 We know this. The clinic's mission is to help build families and those families include members of the LGBTQ community, a group that has historically faced a level of backlash. There are violent extremists out there who have very strong views about IVF which is something that they do at that clinic and also about surrogacy which is something they do with their clinic And that particular reproductive clinic is in the Palm Springs area. Palm Springs is kind of known as a center for LGBTQ residents, I think little less than half the population by some estimates is LGBTQ. So all the news reports, well no this has got to be, must be crazy Republicans gotta be some nut job terrorists because he hates IVF Christian nationalists

06:59 Turns out some 26 year old soy looking boy who says he's anti-life, he wants less people on the planet sounds like the opposite to me. So they immediately jumped to conclusions on this one It's even worse than that if you go to The New York Times and some of the other papers that blame the Southern Baptists This is great! I have a Jonathan Karl ABC. Let's see what Jonathan Carl says we begin with one authorities are calling an intentional act of terrorism ABC is cheap, I just love that they knew that right off the bat there was an intentional act of terrorism There was they didn't have anything yet on this person as far as I know but they came out right away terrorism investigative correspondent Aaron Kutersky has the very latest on

07:46 on an explosion Saturday outside a fertility clinic in Palm Springs, California. Good morning Aaron what do we know? What do you know? What are you learning John, good morning to you. This blast was so powerful that at first people in Palm Springs thought this might have been an earthquake but then they quickly saw the flames and smoke and damage from what appears to have been a car bomb it exploded right outside of Fertility Clinic American Reproductive Centers which said nobody from its staff was hurt in the eggs embryos and other reproductive materials in its lab are secure and undamaged One person is dead, law enforcement sources told ABC News. It's believed to be the suspect. Investigators were seen searching a location connected to the attack IVF has become entangled in the political debate over reproductive rights and the FBI said that clinic was targeted in an intentional act of terrorism

08:41 Investigators also found John recording equipment, a camera and tripod suggesting that perhaps the attack was meant to be either recorded or live streamed. We're doing it live! To make some kind of political statement And Aaron what is the Justice Department saying about this? Yeah what does Pam say We heard from Attorney General Pam Bondi. She told us in a statement, we are working to learn more but she said let me be clear the Trump administration understands that women and mothers are the heartbeat of America violence against a fertility clinic is unforgivable President Trump has pledged to expand access to IVF but he has faced backlash

CHAPTER 03 / 36 Discussion

Guy Edward Bartkus, Pro-Mortalism and Nihilism

The suspect in the Palm Springs bombing is identified as 29-year-old Guy Edward Bartkus of 29 Palms, a self-described "pro-mortalist" who expressed anger over being born without consent. Bartkus reportedly posted a 30-minute audio recording online explaining his nihilistic motives. The investigation links his ideology to the death of Sophie Tinney in Washington, whose boyfriend, Lars Eugene Nelson, was charged with murder after allegedly shooting her at her request.

09:20 from some in the Christian conservative movement who are opposed to the loss of embryos during the process. I'm telling you, up until this morning! White Christian nationalist extremist terrorists... Oh i'm sorry it's a soy boy who's nuts! Let me read from the New York Times No let me read from one of our producers who put together a report oh excellent The suspect behind the bombing in Palm Springs today has been identified as Guy Edward Bartkus. Was that mentioned in any of these news reports? No, no this just came out this morning so I don't think you had... You got this this morning right? This report? No! I got this yesterday Really?! They're only just now reporting it interesting

10:06 He's from 29 palms. He's a self-described pro mortalist. Sorry, that's a new term... Pro mortalists! Who was angry because he felt this by the way is all on Instagram of course and it could be inaccurate but at least it's interesting and it gives us some possibilities cause there's some interest there's funny stuff in here if you want to call that funny yeah He was angry because he didn't give consent to anyone to bring him into the world. Oh man! In a 30-minute audio recording, he posted online... I don't have that. No? ...he made the following statements quote, "...I figured I would just make a recording explaining why I've decided to bomb the IVF building or clinic." He said at the beginning of the recording quote basically it just comes down to him angry that I exist

10:58 And that, you know nobody got my consent to bring me here. Now by the way this is... The word's not gonna be used but this is kind of you know we say oh this is terrible This is nihilism I have the guy Which was very popular in the early 1800s I have a video whenever your ready I can play a little bit of that Of the guy Okay well let me just finish the recording One yeah it's good I'm very much against IVF, it's extremely wrong. There are people who are having kids after they've sat there and thought about it how much more stupid can it get? That makes no sense. This is also in any then our producer who he knows why I'm gonna not name him because then you'll hound him as one of our regulars this all came from local news describing a portion from his FAQ on his website

11:58 In the facts section of his website, he further explains that his best friend Sophie shared similar views and recently died after convincing her boyfriend to shoot her in the head as she slept. Wow! Oh man... We had agreed that if one of us died, the other would probably soon follow, Bartkus wrote. Now I looked that up. In fact, I'll read this part. His description seemed to match the death of 27-year old Sophie Tinney. I looked her up in Fox Island Washington on April 22nd Police arrested her boyfriend 29 year old Lars Eugene Nelson and believe Tinney convinced Nielsen... no Nelson

12:45 Convinced Nelson to shoot her in the head as she slept. Nelson was charged with second-degree murder You can look this case up That's exactly what happened just dumb shit and Lars by the way looks like a big dumb Viking who is like a young guy that lot of hair And it just doesn't look that bright whose girlfriend obviously said honey Can you shoot me in the head while I'm sleeping? Sounds reason he did So she's sleeping there his girlfriend is this his girlfriend and he just pulls the trigger and they believed all these stories And I guess somebody knew who this girl was who was obviously a lunatic? and so they that takes care of her and This guy's gonna go to jail, and then we got this other guy. Who may or may not have blowed it blowed himself up This is ridiculous Yeah

CHAPTER 04 / 36 Discussion

Gen Z Mental Health, SSRI Pharmaceutical Influence

A discussion ensues regarding the mental state of Generation Z and the potential role of prescribed antidepressants and SSRIs in fueling nihilistic violence. Claims are made that pharmaceutical companies influence mainstream media to suppress reporting on the side effects of clinical drugs. The hosts argue that the lack of a "Christian nationalist" motive in the Palm Springs bombing will lead to the story being dropped by major news outlets.

gen z· ssris· antidepressants· pharmaceutical industry· nihilism· mental health

13:36 I wonder if any... SSRIs or any kind of antidepressants were involved in this case. You think? Now they're all, they're all ex... I'm sorry they're all yeah they're all Gen X she was 28 and I think we're short 27 just 27 he's these are all right at the cusp of it at the very beginning of of I'm sorry Z Gen Z. Z ends a 28 or 29 right now It's pathetic and I think they're all drugged up. Because this is idiotic! Actually, the-I thought I had the video but it says already no longer available We waited 30 seconds and it's gone now

14:24 Well, you're blaming me? No! I'm blaming the platforms. Oh we can't have that out there... We don't know why they don't want to let this information out. I'm with you it makes no sense but but it makes sense if you think of as the following year during the meeting is he look at this gonna encourage more kids to be this way when we just suppress and leave it on in news yeah well this is On one hand, we don't need another nihilist movement by a bunch of stone drugged up Gen Z lunatics. Well that's exactly the issue I mean okay so luckily no one else was hurt but it speaks of a much larger problem and we have a nihilistic yeah We have a nihilistic movement if people are doing this and they're posting stuff like that And hey man kill me in my sleep

15:18 This is a problem. Even the bombing is one thing, but this girl talking her boyfriend into shooting her in the head while she's sleeping is insane! Well it's... I think its drug-induced but then legal—I'm just guessing—legal clinical prescribed drugs that I can't think of anything else That's what spawns this. That's the real tragedy here, it's like okay this is what happens It's bad Hmm... Hoy! Oyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoy

16:00 I'm done with it. Yeah, I'm done with it too although this won't be the end well actually will be the end of it because it wasn't a Christian white Christian nationalist nutjob terrorist so oh well yeah they'd have to do some real creativity here there could be an entire epidemic of nihilistic children who are on SSRIs no that's not worth reporting if it was Southern Baptist Church Is that not worth... what? Let's back up. The pharma companies own the media! Oh, you think?! It's never gonna get reported Of course not of course not it's bad But you won't hear that anyplace else No And thank You Matthew

16:44 Unfortunately, once a year we have to do it. There's just no getting around it is the staple of the No Agenda show We don't have to discuss it very much but we do have a winner of the 2025 Eurovision Song Contest emotional scenes as austria's was declared the winner of eurovision 2025 with his operatic pop song wasted love jj topped the votes from music experts and viewers from across the continent and beyond speaking Speaking after the announcement, the 24-year old from Vienna said he was still processing the news. This is absolutely insane my dreams came true this is out of this world so thank you guys so much. Thank you guys! I'm sorry I missed who won? Austria

17:33 Austria. with her performance of New Day Will Rise. Pro-Palestinian groups had called for the European Broadcasting Union to bar Israel from the competition over the war in Gaza, a view not shared by some Israelis watching the contest. Two demonstrators tried to get on stage during Rafael's performance but were prevented from doing so by security officials. Third on the leaderboard was Estonia's Tommy Cash, with Sweden and Italy clinching fourth and fifth place respectively. So none of the suspected frontrunners actually made it into the top three? And I'm not sure what the political angle of Austria is because it usually is politically motivated... Is there anything that we can expect from Austria

18:36 It's a mystery. I gotta find this note one of your compatriots from Holland sent me complaining about this segment and you in particular Okay, do you want me to take a little break while you search for the no I don't wanted you to take any break? I'm hoping to find it but got all these Don't know these impediments. Don't make me play the hook of the song Oh Terrible yes wait one

19:19 That's it. So they all cuz he can sing in falsetto yes, this is exactly right people are so used to trash muck AI and or What is auto-tune that when they hear someone who could actually sing? He's got a falsetto whoa Here's the note oh here we go from Lowe's Adam claimed... this is a nasty note. Adam claimed without evidence This is a nasty note, but I think it was funny And can I ask you did you reply to this person and say why don't you email Adam? I always do that Yeah well okay the person did not email me They don't want to email because you're gonna get mad

20:12 My reputation precedes me I see. Yes it does, Adam Claims by the way you know what i think of that word yeah all streets will be empty on the evening of the Eurovision Song Festival cause everybody will be watching Obviously he moved out of the country decades ago. From all the people I know, only my 17-72 year old mother watches that lame show! It's only watched by a bunch of women of a certain age some gays and Adam

20:53 Some Gaze and Adam. Here's a show title, Some Gaze and Adam. Yes okay it's only not it's not only unwatchable the music makes your eardrums shrivel up and if that isn't enough the satanic symbols yes yes this are being noticed by more people every year yeah well this will give you credit for that you've been noticing the satanic symbols for at least over decade that's why I watch although I couldn't watch yesterday I recorded it By the way, this year should be the final nail on the coffin because they're sending a Congolese refugee with a French song. There is nothing left of what was once the intention of the festival even my mom complains about it Everybody who I know who watch which is pretty much everybody and I know this because you know The Europeans use whatsapp not supposed to say whatsapp you say whatsapp

21:52 And, you know I saw them in WhatsApp text groups. And they're giving me blow by blow like oh this sucks this is horrible and they really disliked this year's show but they watched and these are not 70-year old ladies But I could gay That's right my gay whatsapp groups. That's exactly it We always suspected you had a gay whatsapp group to get some information one just one Hey, the thing i'm worried about is the anonymous gay accountant he wouldn't didn't text me back. I'm worried that You know, he's probably doing taxes is still part Well

22:33 Maybe he's getting like Sir Anonymous from Doc... Over time we alienate everybody. We try, we try! So now we're anti-Muslim you know? That's so unfair I thought so yeah i don't think he meant us by the way i think he just meant the trolls The trolls hate the Jews! Yeah, they hate it. The trolls hate everybody and that's kind of the beauty of the trolls They hate everybody It's not a big deal That's true I agree

Istanbul Peace Talks, Trump-Putin-Zelensky Negotiations

Analyst Andrew Rasiulis examines the failed meeting in Istanbul where Vladimir Putin sent a lower-ranking minister of culture rather than attending personally. Donald Trump is scheduled for back-to-back phone calls with Putin and Zelensky to negotiate a ceasefire. The discussion covers Russian demands for the four annexed oblasts and the administrative lines, while noting that Crimea remains a non-negotiable territory for the Kremlin.

23:09 Okay, do you want to go into some it's something rather interesting and I don't know. I thought that yeah, I thought the Anti-move to pro mortalist or hell he was from more pretty interesting Yeah Pro mortalists just it's not interested. It's sad. I'm really sad what there you go again This is I got another note about your being this way well no yes if I defended you because Because one of our, another producer... Producers are complaining a lot recently. Have you noticed this? Yes I have! We're doing it wrong This is the main thing i'm learning Whatever we're doing its wrong

23:48 I always like to look them up on the database. We have a database, people! Yes and did the toxic empathy guy donate? No of course not... Of course not that's okay contributing to the show with complaints is a kind of value it's an odd form of value but its value its valuable in some way um no actually I have I have a small series of clips by Andrew Rasoulis about the Istanbul non-meeting. You like Rasoulis? Do i? Yeah, that's the former Canadian defense guy you said... Oh yeah he is good! He's good analyst. This reminds me, I have some analyst clips too. Okay Mine are lousy though. Well let's do mine since yours are lousy So what happened is nothing happened

24:43 Putin didn't go, which of course meant Zelensky didn't go. Putin did send some lackey to Istanbul they were supposed have a face-to-face... I'm your lackey from Russia! I do want to ask you about what constitutes a good deal for Russians and for Ukrainians but first I want to talk to you about what happened, what transpired this past week the meeting in Istanbul that just didn't happen when it came to both major leaders. Putin, who first proposed the talks did not attend them and neither did Zelenskyy What does it signal? When even the leaders at the center of the conflict refused to meet I mean Putin's emissary that he sent In his stead was a minister of culture and heritage Not typically a high-ranking official That you would send to such a meeting What does this tell us? It means Russians are negotiating for position of strength

25:31 that they're showing strength by actually playing around with who they send, lowering expectations raising and lowering. That's playing your opponent and that's what they're doing They played Zelensky in a way. Zelensky came to Istanbul Putin didn't he sent you know ex-minister of culture there who actually harangued the Ukrainians saying well we fought the Swedes for 21 years how would you like that? So yeah I mean that's what the Russians are doing. They are playing hardball as they always do in negotiations. And we're going to see where this goes, but the Russians are not desperate for a peace. They will agree to a peace again I repeat as long as they get most of what they want if not absolutely everything and that of course means that or sort of a neutral type Ukraine they're gonna keep the 20% of the territory of East Ukraine That's pretty much a given everybody understands

26:24 The delicate balance is what happens to that 80% and therein lies the puzzle that's being hammered out probably tomorrow. Yes, tomorrow is the big phone call! But let's move to the new news which is- The new news! He said he will talk Vladimir Putin at 10am on Monday followed by a conversation with Volodymyr Zelensky. Has anyone been successful in talking Vladimir Putin specifically into anything? I mean what do you make of this proposal? Well, I think first of all it's really good news. Two, I think Trump understands how to deal with Putin in the sense that he understands that Putin you just can't put pressure on him, can't put him into a corner It is well known that Putin does not react well when he is cornered

27:09 However, Putin does understand pressure and incentive. So the art of real negotiations which Trump also understands. And so I think we've come to the point now in the negotiations that basically Putin is looking for the deal now. He's prepared to make a deal, he just wants a good deal and basically it's not what the Ukrainians want so Trump is trying to figure where that line is and those conversations tomorrow back-to-back so Putin at 10, Zelensky after that other NATO people after that So he's going try work something out. Putin at ten, Zelensky 11, Margarita at noon

27:50 This is gonna be a series of calls. So by the way I have, just to tease... this is just the opposite of analysis clips I have from NPR where they blast it's just because that's why this guy this Canadian guy is good he's pretty accurate yes and so when the question comes up what does Russia actually want? He has answers! Let's talk a little bit about the specifics here. I mean, we are talking about... We know that a long-time stipulation from Vladimir Putin was that Ukraine not be allowed to join NATO because he will feel like he is surrounded by enemies. He will be! Secondly, are we talking about disputed territories? When it comes to the most recent conflict Donbass, Donetsk but are we talking about Crimea as well?

28:39 Well, Crimea is a given. I mean from the Russians they're not even talking about that one. They incorporated that in 2014-15 and that from historical point of view the Russians firmly regard that as being Russia so the Ukrainians will not recognize that and there'll be a saw off on that de facto but also but the more delicate one is only before other oblasts and the Russians don't control all They control bits and pieces, well substantial parts but not all. And the Russians want all of them they want right up to the administrative line which means Ukrainians are going to have to pull back that's what the Russians told the Ukrainians in Istanbul on Friday they want them pulled back right to the administrative lines giving out some cities along the way That of course Ukraine says is a non-starter and thats where we are

29:30 It's so interesting to watch the trolls, the notorious anti-Israel Jew haters. That's just what I call them they may not hate Jews but they're anti Zionists because you know there is genocide in Gaza When it comes to this like, eh just let Putin roll over and wipe out all of Ukraine in six months It'll be over. Who cares? So they're pro-Russian the trope people I don't know I think they're anti...I think they're nihilists is what I think. I think there are nihilist What was that what was a term anti...? What was that guy? Pro-mortalist. Pro-mortalists, yes! Trump has said by the way nothing's going to happen on the talks until Putin and I get together which seems to imply an actual meeting face-to-face meeting rather than a phone chat that's gonna happen on Monday So what do you think is likelihood of that meeting happening anytime soon

30:22 That will depend on Monday. I mean, in Istanbul the Ukrainians asked the Russians that they want Zelensky to meet Putin but also in the background is that Trump would meet with Putin as well so that's all very much part of an endgame scenario it's very realistic if this war comes to an end that's what will have to happen So now we'll have to see the phone calls on Monday are kind of a prep. To see is there room to maneuver here? This is the big boys now talking, right? Big boy! So they're gonna say, Is there room to maneuver? Do they have a deal and if not then I'm afraid were in for a long war but we're not there yet necessarily and there's still hope here. I love this guy's take. He's so right on with this. This is The Big Boys

CHAPTER 07 / 36 Discussion

US-Russia Trade, Sanctions Relief and Cultural Products

Negotiations between Trump and Putin are expected to include discussions on trade and sanctions relief. The hosts explore potential Russian exports to the United States, including minerals, agricultural products, and traditional items like nesting dolls. A specific conversation focuses on Kvass, a traditional Russian fermented malt beverage, and its polarizing taste.

31:12 Trump and Putin they're gonna talk it out. And of course President Trump has some carrots, and he has some sticks you mentioned earlier that you suspect Where'd you get this clip CBC okay? Yeah, you mentioned earlier that you suspect Trump will use a Believe me, American news media does not call Andrew Asulis for any analysis of the situation. No sir! I can prove that in the next few clips. Yeah, I'm looking forward to it. Which you think is like carrot and a stick in more regular person's vernacular? What are you laughing girl?! What are we talking about? Certainly sanctions presumably, economic pressures anything else?

31:58 Yes, so what I think it's already been stated that the conversation tomorrow Monday between Trump and Putin will involve not just Ukraine issues but issues of trade. And issues of trade implies sanctions relief of some sort. So that's the way it has been defined. The Russians are certainly looking for sanctions relief and increasing some kind of bilateral trade with the United States. Ever since the Americans started to talk, the Russians under Trump underlying all these discussions has been the issue of economic trade between the United States and Russia which implies sanctions relief which from a Russian point-of-view would be a big incentive

32:40 Yeah, yeah. I like this guy he's... I like the idea of trading with Russia they've got different kinds of products and minerals. They got some minerals what other products will be fun to have? Babushkas? Nesting dolls! Yes that'd be cool now they gave a lot of agricultural products they have butters and things that are unique. Butters, they got butters. Crazy drinks? They have crazy drinks. What do you mean, oh well they have kvass which is my favorite, kvass Well there's a bunch of them I mean there's a Russian store in the city and i go there every so often Have you ever had KVASS that's like their Yeah yeah it's like a malt product It's a malt product It's undrinkable to be honest about it No! I really like it Iceland has a similar product which is yuck

33:33 Yeah, no I like the class you can lie. I can see how you like it is somewhat semi refreshing yes Like Russia itself my refreshes my refreshing rushes over into Moscow semi-refreshing It was all it was alright You know so you don't have NPR you have PBS clips on Ukraine not in one side these are PBS yeah Okay, but what wait? What difference does it make? Well as we all know Oops, that's not it. Where'd it go? And where is my elitist voice? Elitist Voices of America This is NPR or PBS

Andrew Weiss, PBS Anti-Trump Bias

PBS features Andrew Weiss, a former State Department official and author of a graphic novel about Vladimir Putin, to provide perspective on Ukraine negotiations. The hosts criticize Weiss as a "spook" and a partisan actor, arguing that PBS has become an anti-Trump operation. They further speculate that the network's aggressive stance is a reaction to potential federal funding cuts.

andrew weiss· pbs· carnegie endowment· vladimir putin· state department· funding

34:11 For perspective on the state of play of the negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, we turn now to Andrew Weiss. He's a former State Department official who served in the George HW Bush and Clinton administrations. He is now the Vice President for Studies at The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Andrew always great to see you. Great to see you. So those peace talks today wrapping just shy of two hours, a historic prisoner swap but no ceasefire, no major breakthroughs? What do you see here is this progress? This process is about an audience Both sides are trying to appeal to President Trump and avoid being blamed for the process not going anywhere. So, the Ukrainians have gone great far taking a lot of steps

34:50 to agree to an unconditional 30 day ceasefire, to agree to meet with the Russians. And just sort of play nicely with this administration. The Russians who have given no ground and in fact as you heard from Nick Schifrin just a moment ago are actually expanding their demands also want to look like they're nice people and that they're serious about peace they're not. As we heard just a moment ago, Yeah, you're right. It's worthless. An audience of one! This guy Andrew Weiss, try finding anything about him... He worked for both Bush and Clinton that tells you something right there. Works for a Republican and Democrat he has no profile

35:40 done a lot of heavy hitting stuff. He's got no profile at all on Wikipedia. Is it Weiss or Weisman? Weiss Andrew S. Weiss Yes, I see him here and then you can try to find he does have a profile on LinkedIn which tells you nothing Yeah And so this guy is the spook of some sort Vice president for studies and James family chair of the Carnegie endowment. Graphic novel out now, Accidental Czar The Life and Lies of Vladimir Putin

36:21 Yeah, so he's not a obviously why would you put him on? He's obviously not a Putin fan when he wrote the life and lies of Vladimir Putin as his book. It doesn't sound but let's put him on because he's gonna give us some objective reality yeah That's the guy does just what but that's what PBS wants PBS has turned into a huge anti-trump operation This is new It's worse. Well, ever since Gwen Ifill passed away? Well no but even more recently ever since they started pulling funding they just turned it I mean they say screw this guy or you're taking our 1%

36:58 funding away. It may turn out somehow that was a lot more than 1%. It seems to be... Maybe, yeah it could be! You're whining a lot. Seems maybe USAID or something there's you don't whine this much about one percent now no agenda show we're only one percent donates. We whine when it goes down to 0.9. We do, we whine a lot. People at the meetup yesterday like you really scaring me You're scaring me. Yeah, yeah people like you really know this is I know the reaction and you really scaring me Why let's go well we'll talk about it later Let's go to clip do where he just by the way Just gets worse in another post President Trump said He hopes a ceasefire in Ukraine will be the result on Monday when he has separate phone calls Is this part two of these of the series of anals?

CHAPTER 09 / 36 Discussion

Russian Maximalist Goals, Audience of One Rhetoric

Andrew Weiss claims on PBS that Russia's goal is the total reintegration of Ukraine and that the Trump administration misunderstands the situation on the ground. He suggests that Trump is "kicking the can" to avoid making a difficult decision. The hosts highlight the use of the phrase "audience of one" by the interviewer, suggesting it may be a coded reference used in specific political subcultures.

maximalist goals· drones· air defense· columbia university· white christian nationalist

37:55 Oh, I'm sorry. Okay it was a little mislabeled so the first one was Ukraine Anal PBS then there's Ukraine Anal 2A But what is Ukraine Russia calls Trump PBS? I'm a little confused. You should be, I'm sorry. I guess they should call it Ukraine anal Russia bad Oh of course! I could have known So we know Vladimir Putin was not at these meetings and you heard President Zelensky say that that is a sign that Putin is not serious about wanting to ceasefire Do you agree with that assessment Yes

38:35 Exactly the opposite of Rasulus. He's like, no that's how big boys play! Yeah send a little dude in the background I'm doing some negotiation Art of The Deal baby Artsky Of The Deal Donald Guys, just yes. Yes! Putin bad. He lies. Lies of Putin I wrote a book about it and by the way this guy's degree from Columbia he's in Russia studies he went to Russia one of his jobs was to interview and do a dossier on every single Russian oligarch very strange character but he's just obviously a stooge and why does PBS have him on?

39:16 So let's go with 2A. No, the Russians at this point have very maximalist goals those goals amount essentially to the wiping Ukraine off the map that's what they want they want Ukraine to disappear and to become forcibly reintegrated into Russia's orbit At any point does he say full-scale invasion and Kiev a number of times would that be in this? I don't know if he does or not but this is bullcrap The Ukrainians are not in any position where they're desperate for a deal. And I think this White House, in part is hampered and it's peacemaking efforts because they have a misunderstanding of where things are on the ground. They believe Ukraine's in a dire situation desperate for a deal and they think that the Russians if the United States were to cut off military assistance again to Ukraine could roll over Ukraine in short order both those unfortunately or not the case

40:06 Ukraine is in a bad situation, but the defense is inherently favored in this war. They've been able to expand their own defense production capabilities so a lot of what they need drones artillery things like that they can now produce at home. They're seriously in need of continued US military and intelligence support. They also have some important requirements including for air defense that they can't replace on You heard this audience of one, as you referred to him President Trump yesterday was he's traveling in the Middle East say that nothing is going to happen until he and Putin speak directly. Do you agree with that? And what do you think would come if that kind of meeting

40:45 The Ukrainians and the Europeans are really worried that any bilateral agreement between the United States and Russia could be rammed down Ukraine's throat, and rammed down Europe's throat. So there is a desire to make sure that the United States president doesn't set off in spontaneous ways as we've seen him doing other foreign policy matters where he sort of runs around makes spontaneous decisions does things on-the fly this is very dangerous delicate moment for the Ukrainians they don't want to see a peace deal that's agreed behind their backs At the same time, Donald Trump I think has been bending over backwards to avoid putting blame on Vladimir Putin. So asking for a meeting is now just the next sort of way of kicking the can and avoiding the moment of decision that Trump had promised us where he said if I can't get this settled within my first hundred days- There it is. I'm gonna walk away. That's the moment we're waiting for Trump to reveal what walking away means. Season of reveal.

41:42 Only because I'm new to this that I bring it up, but the audience of one—I don't know if there's a subtle subtext to this. But in the white Christian nationalist extremist terrorist world, the audience of one is used frequently and it doesn't mean Donald Trump. Just something of note for me. I don't know if they're using that as subtext. I don't know what the subtext of any of this guy is. It's a commentary. Well, she says it too! She said audience of one. Yeah, she did reiterate... This guy is a bad guy.

CHAPTER 10 / 36 Discussion

Bridget Brink Resignation, US Nation Building Policy

Former US Ambassador to Ukraine Bridget Brink published an op-ed in the Detroit Free Press criticizing Trump's foreign policy as "appeasement." Meanwhile, Mike Pence appeared on "Meet the Press" to defend traditional US interventionism. Trump's speech in Riyadh is cited as a pivot away from failed nation-building policies, which the hosts characterize as "rubbalizing" countries under the guise of democracy.

bridget brink· detroit free press· appeasement· mike pence· riyadh· globalism

42:26 But he got a lot of airtime. Bridget Brink published just today in this op-ed in the Detroit Free Press, she basically said she resigned last month because of Trump's foreign policy after serving three years in Ukraine. She wrote this I cannot stand by while a country is invaded, a democracy bombarded and children killed with impunity. I believe the only way to secure US interest is to stand up for democracies and to stand against autocrats. Peace at any price is not peace at all it is appeasement." Is President Trump here pursuing a policy of appeasement?

43:07 I think he is, and the risk is that the policy we had in place when Donald Trump became president focused on unity with Europeans common cause with Ukrainians and showing the Russians they can't get what they want. And that we would build leverage over time to get them see this was a hopeless goal That they were never going to get Ukraine back Well thats exactly the old globalist thinking Thats exactly whats been going on and has not been working for decades Show the Russian's they cant' get what they want Instead of, well why don't we figure out a way to live together? Which I'm all for. Everybody actually is. There's a lot of... Except for these guys! These stooges now do what you might see at the end of the clip. So Pence was on Meet The Depressed this morning.

43:58 Pence. Okay, he lives so old black hands were chatting with him and she says manhands I think is what you meant to say manhands and she says She's talking to him and he comes up with you know He felt bad that he says this he doesn't like it when a president puts down, of course this is a kind of call back to Obama giving his speeches overseas where the president puts down the USA. And what he's specifically referring to was Trump's criticism of our previous policies or previous presidents of nation building which was in his big speech in Riyadh

44:49 And he says, this is no good because we don't do it. We can't do it. We suck at nation building and every time we go in there, we just ruin places and this has got to stop and we gotta let people do their own thing. It's also because we don't actually go in for nation building that's a farce! That's rubbalizing! Here's some democracy! So I found that to be... This was a signal to me, and I think this guy's speech was too. This is the signal of what's next? Trump is anti-American because he... Oh yes! I think you're spot on You nailed it And I can back you up I'm sure you heard about Bruce Springsteen in Manchester

CHAPTER 11 / 36 Discussion

Bruce Springsteen Manchester Speech, Elitist Critique

During a concert in Manchester, UK, Bruce Springsteen delivered a teleprompter-assisted speech criticizing the US government as "rogue" and "unfit." He alleged that the US is persecuting free speech and taking "sadistic pleasure" in the suffering of children and workers. The hosts criticize Springsteen as a "phony" and an "elitist cuck" who has lost touch with his working-class Jersey Shore roots, partially blaming his personal life for his political shift.

45:38 Yeah, duh. But did you hear... so you might have seen it? I heard the whole thing which is long! It's yeah but that was being booed by the way by the crowd who wanted music they didn't want to hear this well there now that's that's debatable Well, it's debatable but if you're going to a rock concert you don't want to hear some guy lecturing you about the policies of their country. Well no you don't particularly because if you go to Manchester and you get in an Uber friend of mine was just there the first thing that uber or the cab driver will say is hey so how's it going with Trump? Wish we had a guy like Trump here! That's what the people on the street are saying but the thing is Bruce Springsteen

46:23 certainly during my days of hey embodied America. He embodied the American spirit, you know? It was like he was the working man He was down at the docks... He was the guy and now is just an elitist cuck! What's that in your mouth?! I mean i have to play Because he did three different things and he started off, let me just play a little bit of this. So this is the beginning of it... He did three different stop-the sets. Good evening! Philadelphia! It's great to be in Manchester and back in the UK

47:11 Welcome to the Land of Hope and Dreams Tour! Can you believe this? The Land of Hope and Dreams Tour. Okay, Bruce... The mighty E Street Band is here tonight To call upon the righteous power Of art, of music, of rock'n roll In dangerous times! Alright, so dangerous times Authoritarianism But to listen, and we can stop it whenever we want. We can comment on it The amount of lies... I don't think he's lying! I think he truly believes that this is taking place because he's in his California bubble Bruce! Bruce! Come back down

47:57 Come on, man. Is he living in California? Oh yeah! He's been in California for a while now. Come back to Tom's River. Come back to the Stone Pony. This doesn't make any sense. Bruce come back to the Jersey Shore you've been contaminated. Now... Easy Roy. There are some very weird strange And dangerous shit going on out there right now. Dangerous? Yeah, in the country you're actually in Bruce Springsteen That's where some very dangerous stuff is going on You're right! In America Oh, in America They are persecuting people for using their rights of free speech and voicing their dissent Hmmmm

48:45 No, I don't think so This is happening now this troublemakers who are spooks that's who that's the problem In America, the richest men are taking satisfaction in abandoning the world's poorest children to sickness and death. Now where does this come from? Where are the world's richest man taking satisfaction in the poorest children dying? They're all sitting around smoking cigars saying how many kids did we kill This is happening now Right now

49:29 In my country, they're taking sadistic pleasure in the pain that they inflict. Sadistic? Sadistic ple- what this is... Are you confused with the Grammys Bruce? This is sadistic pleasure?! In my country, they're taking sadistic pleasure in the pain that they inflict on loyal American workers. Well, when it comes to Bill Gates and Soros maybe but I don't think that's who you meant They're rolling back historic civil rights legislation What is he talking about?

50:05 What's historic civil rights? Maybe he'll explain. That led to a more just and plural society, through abandoning our great allies... Our great allies— Because they've gone nuts that's why! And siding with dictators against those struggling for their freedom Dude, I totally need someone to be playing keyboards while i'm doing my rap here. That is pretty awesome. They're defunding American universities who have hundreds of billions of dollars in endowments they don't pay taxes on that won't bow down to their ideological demands. Well man...

51:00 They're removing residents off American streets. Residents, oh by the way he's reading this This whole thing is on teleprompter Yeah this is the joke of it He can't even memorize it The whole thing is on teleprompter He keeps looking down on it Residents! Removing res- You know what? If you're a resident in any other country and not a legal resident... ...you get removed And without due process of law are deporting them to foreign detention centers and prisons. This is all happening now! Yay, meanwhile we're at a 400 pound-a-ticket show

51:44 A majority of our elected representatives have failed to protect the American people from the abuses of an unfit president and a rogue government. Rogue government? Listen to them, they're like yeah that's like us! You like us! President and a rogue government Yeah oh wait you're not talking about here I know they're convinced about Keir Starmer being in the topic here. They have no concern or idea of what it means to be... Hold on a second, maybe this whole thing was ironic and in an... I felt it was!

52:27 And in a way, he's actually bitching about the UK. Well I think a lot of them there took it that way like yeah we got a rogue government here! The problem is his background indicates otherwise he was gonna leave the country if Trump won Twice! Twice? Well he did leave it as he's in England as we speak When he left New Jersey when you go to California you left the country They have no concern or idea of what it means to be deeply American. The America that I've sung to you about for 50 years is real! And regardless of its faults,

53:11 It's a great country with great people. Okay, bleh alright. Just as like no! That sadistic they take great pleasure in seeing children go hungry and die? I don't think so boss. So that what I heard there and watched all three of his little ditties... it really hurt me Why are you? Are you friends of his? Well, I grew up with Bruce Springsteen. I was proud of Bruce Springsteen! I promoted Bruce Springsteen music in the Netherlands when no one wanted to hear about it like... Jersey stuff we don't care about. But I love Bruce Springsteen that whole born-in-the USA You know he's you see him with this blue jeans on He's got as little bandana hanging out of his butt pocket. Merka

53:59 No, that's just not him anymore. He is a phony! He is it sad he has turned his back on America but he just doesn't realize it ever since Patti Skelfer man I hate to say it but... Who? Ever since he married the tambourine girl Because he was married and he got divorced, and ran away with the girl who plays the tambourine. That's his wife now. And that started it you think? Oh that's when it started! I mean that is like the Yoko of Bruce Springsteen. Well definitely happened to Rob Reiner when he married his current wife... He went completely off the rails

World Pride DC, Transgender Travel Warnings

World Pride festivities kicked off in Washington, D.C., featuring a massive quilt display on the National Mall. Several European countries, including Germany and Denmark, issued travel warnings for transgender citizens visiting the US due to the political climate. The hosts discuss a perceived rift within the LGBTQ community, suggesting that "the gays" are becoming frustrated with the prioritization of transgender issues.

54:39 So we live in such an... So it's the women's fault, that what you're saying. Isn't it always? It is always yeah! Like you never said anything behind my back about my second wife I'm sure you did. Oh man she's ruining the show She's ruining the show Actually you probably thought it enhanced the show Speaking of irony In a upside down world Yesterday was International Day Against Homophobia and I caught a... Wait, hold on a second. Before you even go there, I want you to play this clip because that's not my understanding here is the real what's going on World Pride Festival day month Well yes it may be World Pride Month but yesterday was the

55:32 was the actual International Day Against Homophobia. I guess they haven't, by the way I haven't seen the proclamation on The White House but i'll just presume that President Trump did that and World Pride festivities kicked off today in Washington DC this year's host community the biannual celebrate- Host community? What does that mean it's a host community and by the way when you listen to this report is it really about Gay people or trans people? Oh, of course. And World Pride festivities kicked off today in Washington DC this year's host community the biannual celebration is being held against the backdrop of the Trump administration Biannual does that mean once every two years or twice a year

56:16 It could mean either one. The biannual celebration is being held against the backdrop of the Trump administration's moves against the LGBTQ community. Bastards! They're making moves, nice moves on the National Mall, the American Civil Liberties Union and other groups unveiled a massive collection of quilts The panels were handmade by transgender people and their families. Previous World Pride events have been a boon for the host nation's tourism, but this year several countries including Germany Ireland and Denmark have issued official travel warnings for their citizens who are transgender or non-binary Yeah this actually will result in homophobia that's what's going to happen it's because the gays I know... THE GAYS! They don't like this they're just tired of the tran stuff

57:06 They're really, especially gay guys. They're now like third world citizens of the community. They've dropped their statuses drop to the floor. It's going to be in a basement before you notice it. Get out of here gay guys were talking to trans over here. She is she is see they they are more important. It's going to be LTQBG. They're gonna move them to the back of the alphabet. You watch and you watch Every single gay, certain gay guys but also women. They don't like this they're tired of this nonsense and they feel it's actually hurting the movement that they fought for for so long anyway So the European Union decides to celebrate International Day Against Homophobia And...so they start raising a flag and it is very intricate flag It has got rainbow colors and triangles and circles and the first thing I thought was

CHAPTER 13 / 36 Discussion

International Day Against Homophobia, Conversion Therapy Ban

The European Union marked the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia with calls for a global ban on conversion therapy. Flora Bolter of the Jean Jaurès Foundation discusses the harmful nature of these practices. The hosts compare the concept of conversion therapy to modern gender-affirming practices in schools, questioning the logic of banning a practice that activists claim is ineffective.

conversion therapy· brussels· european union· flora bolter· jean jaurès foundation· biphobia

58:05 There's no LGBTQ nation. I mean, can we just put up flags for anything next to nation flags? Is there not some flag rule against this? That's peculiar and the newest flag with the circle and all the other gimmicks on there... The original gay community flag was kind of artsy And this thing is monstrous It isn't anything but artsy So then I'm listening to this and it's like, this is an upside-down world. So she's talking about conversion therapy which was a thing in probably during the first Trump administration... Who is talking about conversion therapy? Well this woman who's on Deutsche Welle who you're about to hear who was brought on to talk about homophobia It's the International Day Against Homophobia And she's talking about conversion therapy now if you don't know where conversion therapy comes from

59:02 I don't know if it's such a big thing anymore, but it was blown up into a big story. Oh these church people they're converting the gay trying to make them straight so is that any different than his teacher who's a non-binary converting and normal child at the age of eight into being trans? Is that different in that kind of conversion this kind of a conversion isn't exactly my point The difference being I don't know if you can find a conversion therapy clinic in the phone book, but you can sure Google as a Planned Parenthood everywhere who's going to give your kid hormone blockers and anything else you want.

59:43 No, hormone therapy. Whatever! Conversely you can look at conversion therapy either way so when I was listening to this for a moment there i thought what is she talking about and then it's like holy cow Today many people around the world are marking International Day Against Homophobia Biphobia and Transphobia A day dedicated to raising awareness of rights What? When did biphobia show up?! The bi's were like, hey! Hey! Hey! Everybody is getting a good deal here. No phobia against us I want some phobia! Give me some biphobia Today many people around the world are marking International Day Against Homophobia Biphobia and Transphobia This is new you're right Good catch I didn't hear that when I was clipping it Bi-Phobia I have never seen a biphobia person

1:00:30 In fact, most guys are like, hey woman you're biphobic? You're biphobia? Okay! ...dedicated to raising awareness of rights and of rights violations. In 2025 the picture is mixed some countries are embracing marriage equality while others are criminalizing LGBTQ identities this a picture from what's happening in Brussels a celebration after one million signatures for... What are you doing? Do you have Tourette's? This guy is driving me nuts with his Oz. Just listen to the message! A ban on conversion therapy, joining me on the set is Flora Bolter co-director of the LGBTI plus observatory at the Jean Jaurès Now hold on a second because now I'm confused They have a telescope at the observatory

1:01:16 Now she's not an LGBTQ observer, she is an LGBTI observer which confused me. Signatures for a ban on conversion therapy. Joining me on the set is Flora Bolter co-director of the LGBTI plus observatory at the Jean Jaurès Foundation hello to you Flora, first of all your reaction to those images... Just bear with it. We're seeing... Sorry! Yes? In Brussels and also a brief explanation of what conversion therapy is and why the UN wants a global ban Okay so they want a global ban The EU and I guess you said UM but i think its about the EU No that didn't say I thought he said at UN Yeah but if this.. He just misspoke The guy can't talk That's why his on the news It's E-U

1:02:06 And they want a global ban on... D-U-E, U.N., same thing? Whatever! So what is the reason...? They want to ban. Why?! Who cares!? Well conversion therapies so called therapies are practices that are meant to change someone's sexual orientation or gender identity Isn't that exactly what we're talking about Yes, what they do in the grammar schools nowadays. I was thinking, wat je zegt ben jezelf? Jacques Hughes! Which of course does not work and there is no reason why it would be a better thing but socially some people feel pressure from society from their parents... From the teachers! But thank you

1:02:48 This is exactly what I was thinking, like you're talking about the stuff you're doing. Pressure from society from their parents and frequently people are forced into these therapies and they are very harmful And we've recognized that they are harmful There has been a decision by the European Parliament few years back In France there has been a law since 2022 banning these practices The idea is that every country should have a ban in place on those practices because they are harmful there is no positive outcome of these practices. They are not therapy and they do not convert anything or you know... But then why worry about it? Why worry about it?! Exactly! If they don't convert anything, doesn't do any good so why ban it who cares well

Global Illiberal Backlash, Project 2025 and Russia

Activists claim a "normative shift" is occurring globally against LGBTQ rights, citing influence from Russia and the American Heritage Foundation's Project 2025. This "illiberal backlash" is reportedly gaining momentum in countries like Romania. The hosts argue that these movements are being exploited for political gain by organizations similar to USAID to spark protests.

project 2025· heritage foundation· romania· putin· populism· usaid

1:03:36 Well, here's the reason as she decloaks in the second clip. Yeah and this comes at a time when a lot of activists or experts have been noting gradual improvement for accepting and protecting trans rights worldwide but now there seems to have been a shift some are saying it's a normative shift why is there a shift? Whoa John C Dvorak! Why is their shift what possibly could be the cause of said shift Shift? Yes, there's a shift. They're falling back! There is more conversion therapy people are against trans... There is?! I haven't noticed it have you!? You don't get out of the house

1:04:16 You're in California. Well, in California we got none of that stuff! Exactly! Well there is a shift because there are... There is a concerted offensive by certain actors certainly Actors? I thought Hollywood was all-in on this how would that... How can she say that?! That I believe is when you use terms like that that means your maybe I don't know if that's elitist or if that possibly Yeah, there's a reason in milieu where they use those terms. Inserted offensive by certain actors certainly actors in Russia that was very clearly one of Putin's main international arguments about the decline of the Wests, the so-called decline of the Wests

1:05:04 was basically that LGBTI rights were recognized in the US and in Europe. And this has been part of an offensive against these rights, and now we're seeing the same offensive from the U.S., from Project 2025 and from President Trump. So the American Heritage Foundation and other ultra-conservative groups have been pushing these so called values and these arguments forward using science. And internationally they have gained momentum, and that is feeding into the global illiberal backlash that we are seeing in many countries

1:05:47 Indeed, we're all thinking about Romania and other countries where this is an issue today. This is part and parcel of the current far-right populistic movement in many countries in Europe And this is a major problem It's political! They're trying to like... it works so well in America where we abuse LGBTQI plus people for political gain, let's use it everywhere. Romania? Have you heard anything about the frontrunner in Romania?

1:06:26 being well they were don't be romantic Romani where the guy we're a right-winger one and then they kicked him out and they kicked him out because it wasn't of the right political persuasion yes so that this is the hill the Democrat Party in America will die on is now spreading they're like oh this is a great idea let's get those people together she is clearly some kind of like just like The USAID, you know like hey let's get some people to protest. Make it to tell them that these guys are homophobic and then we get a lot of people that turn out, a lot of allies It's worthless! And its disingenuous and actually abuses people They're totally abusing people Oh you know Donald Trump hates you Okay That's exactly what is But wait there's more

White South African Refugees, MSNBC Racism Allegations

The Trump administration is expediting refugee status for white South African farmers, sparking outrage on MSNBC. Former Ambassador Patrick Gaspar characterized the move as a signal to "white supremacist" and "neo-Nazi adjacent" groups. While critics argue this ignores conflicts in the Congo, others point to the targeted killing of white farmers in South Africa as a legitimate human rights concern.

1:07:26 Because if you didn't think Donald Trump was a racist, well you will now. MSNBC this morning they laid it all out because he doesn't care about black people He only cares about white people! Hey there's lots of black people in Africa who does Donald Trump save? Only the white people! As President Trump's cruel deportation campaign aimed at I'm actually glad you got this because i never did get clips that I would. Yes, this is a classic. Cruel deportation. As President Trump's cruel deportation campaign aimed at removing millions of immigrants from the United States... These poor immigrants! Millions of them not illegal here just immigrants. The president making an exception for one group white South Africans

1:08:14 Unlike the Trump administration's treatment of other immigrants, especially those from Latin America and our Afghan allies that he is kicking out sometime soon. The president gave a warm welcome to dozens of white South Africans this week. He is also expediting refugee statuses for the group which includes victims of racial discrimination The move comes after his decision to freeze refugee admissions from other nations and cut off resettlement funding. So we have back with us former United States Ambassador to South Africa, Patrick Gaspar is back with us to discuss

1:08:53 You were former ambassador there. Can you talk about what he is describing as persecution? I will, you know, I'll say a couple of things first. When when I come on shows like this sometimes I'm trained to kind of retain my anger. Who is he trained by? He says I'm kind of trained to retain my anger when I come on shows like this. Trained by who? Well that's my question He was an ambassador, so he was trained by somebody. I will say a couple of things first when I come on shows like this- Is it just a white guy or black guy? Black guy. Okay. Oh yeah. ...trained to kind of retain my anger. It's hard to do that on this issue. I'm absolutely furious. There are number of things that are going on here. One, Trump is playing to a domestic... I'm retaining, I'm gonna keep my anger back but I am furious!

1:09:45 There are a number of things that are going on here. One, Trump is playing to a domestic US fringe political audience which I'll talk about in a second. The Afrikaners in America? There's a geopolitical impact because there's an attempt to punish South Africa for the posture that it has taken internationally on the war in Gaza and its claims against Israel. And Trump is very clear about- A Jew hater! Oh yeah. Need to punish South Africa in that regard, but there's a third thing that's happening Donald Trump is the master of distraction and he knows that while we're having this conversation We're not talking about the prices that are going up for average Americans at Walmart He loves that I thought that was the best He loves the prices going up in Walmart to screw the black American So then Kpart comes in

1:10:34 Oh God. I could not resist because this just went to a whole other level If you are of a certain age, you remember the anti-apartheid demonstrations that were happening all over the country and particularly on college campuses And see here we are several decades hence Afrikaners are being given refugee status and coming to bring, being brought here to the United States. We knew exactly the signal that President Trump was sending when he did that. Oh they knew what the signal was! It was a signal John it wasn't

1:11:10 Any concern for anything? It was a signal. Absolutely Jonathan, you and I are old enough to participate in those demonstrations right so the first time i ever went to South Africa was 1991 and I got to observe Nelson Mandela's vision for a rainbow nation I lived three and a half years in South Africa as ambassador, and I've seen white and black South Africans and colored South Africans working every single day towards the affirmation of that vision. I talk to my white South African friends all the time, and they think it's bizarre that this is occurring now. They can't recognize their country that's being described by Donald Trump. White supremacy has never lived in isolation. It has always- Did you see how quick that went?

1:11:59 that went from the rainbow coalition in South Africa to white supremacy! It's very good. He had to contain his anger so he could get to this bit. You know, white supremacy has never lived in isolation it has always and ever thus will be a global phenomena and there is a conversation that's taking place from the United States to South Africa to Australia in Europe. Which show was this from? MSNBC This Morning! Oh my god. It's almost over, bear with me. Contain your anger. From the United States to South Africa to Australia in Europe with fringe neo-nazi adjacent groups like... Fringe? Neo-Nazi adjacent groups! How far removed are you?! Are you a Nazi or not!? You're a fringe neo-nazi adjacent

1:12:55 Okay, all right. This is a new term. To South Africa to Australia in Europe with fringe neo-Nazi adjacent groups like Afroforum that are promoting this notion of a white genocide it is really instructive to see the President of the United States who is denying that the plight or the struggle of Palestinians in this moment who are under siege It's interesting to hear him use the word genocide when he is talking about a people who represent 7% of our population, have like 70% of the land. Have 65% of senior management jobs in South Africa and whose unemployment ratio is like 1 20th of the unemployment ratio of blacks are in South Africa. This is deliberate it is signaling

1:13:46 fringe MAGA cohort here in the US and sending a wide signal to those who are neo-Nazi adjacent in other parts of the world. Hey, Whitey! You're good here in America This is, this is... You know this irks me because I missed a clip. I'm gonna tell it's just gonna be the new segment of the show John tells you the clips he didn't put. You didn't even see this morning? No no but there was previous clip I saw on MSNBC where where they're going around about bitching and moaning about these Afrikaner farmers that they're coming over here, giving up all their land and coming over her because it's racism. And of course there are clips of guys saying we should kill all whites. We got tons of those but they go round the horn on one of these shows on MSNBC and the black girl goes

1:14:44 I don't know why they're doing that. There's also a genocide going on in the Congo and they're not taking any of the black Congolese, and after she said that one of the other black guys on MSNBC goes no you can say that white thing is not a genocide! They get all freaked out because she used the word genocide. But here's my question...and i will address them in their native tongue Where are my Africans? We need some reports from you. That was my Afrikaans saying where is my boots on the ground, Africaners I don't think any Africaners listen to our show most... I'm gonna call Laura Logan today she's a white South African i'll ask her she'll know She's right down the street Yeah! I think you should I am going too so what's the dealio how your agenda doing do have no agenda

David Brooks and Jonathan Capehart, Reality TV Lies

During a "Brooks and Capehart" segment, New York Times columnist David Brooks claimed he has never watched a reality television show in his life. Jonathan Capehart countered by admitting his love for "RuPaul's Drag Race." The hosts analyze this exchange as a sign of Brooks' elitist detachment and reminisce about early public access and cable shows like "Ugly George" and Al Goldstein's "Midnight Blue."

david brooks· jonathan capehart· rupaul's drag race· pop culture· mtv· ugly george

1:15:46 That were you gonna say to her? No. Piss her off? We've already been down that road with Laura. Hey, Laura please don't make me sue you okay? You're my neighbor so it's not a good idea I didn't want to sue them a neighbor It is not a good idea Well since you brought up K-Part I do have a couple of Brooks and K-Part things which... Now see now I regret it This is why people are running away from the show. It's from K-Part, and it was my fault! I mean...I opened the door Okay, so here's they're talking about... They were on the Brooks and Capehart part of this last Friday. And they're going on and on and on about Trump's crazy nutty trip to the Middle East and all that crazy stupid stuff he's doing. Yeah. And they are in agreement with everything? Of course! Then they bring up the fact that somebody wants to do a reality TV show about immigration Now I saw this on Instagram because you know people will send me an Instagram clip and it is some dude

1:16:46 going saying literally this, you know, someone at Homeland Security wants to do a reality show so immigrants can compete for green card and I'm like are you sending this is to me as proof that someone said that? Because where does this come from? Do we know that anyone actually said that. It has been documented, the producer of this show came up with this idea during the Obama administration Yeah it's our idea exactly! That was an old idea. It's our idea basically. But besides these clips because They go back and forth, they throw it to Brooks. And this is the BBC on reality TV then I do the Ask Adam afterwards. Okay? And so you play this and this

1:17:33 This is the most indicting aspect of any, all the clips I've ever done for Brooks and K-Part. This tells me everything I need to know about why these we don't want to listen to Brooks or K-Part they're not they're disconnected from the real world They don't care about anything but themselves are obviously in the cocktail set and floating around Washington DC Foggy bottom. This is actually unbelievable And then finally on the game show or whatever, the reality show. I have to confess like American degree...I've never seen a reality show in my life so... You've never seen a single reality show in your life David Brooks? I have not seen The Housewives of Bethesda Maryland. I have not seen Love is Blind. He knows what they are! I did not see Duck Dynasty. There's another one! So it was just that..I'm bad with emotional drama

1:18:32 Okay, so we have someone who has never seen a reality shows have been on the air for what 20 30 years now I've ever since survivor. Ah Way before that MTV's real world I would say yeah there you go it goes way back the first the first one was The Osbournes that was really that was 2002 So we've gone over 20 years of these things and he doesn't wash them because of the emotional baggage that, you know. Because for example, he's not going to be able to take the emotional effect of Duck Dynasty is gonna bring him to his knees is gonna be crying like a baby I don't know whatever the case is I don't want to listen to anything

1:19:18 I don't think you should be all jacked up about pop culture, but can you just what- You know what? What are you talking about if you don't even watch one reality show in 25 years and there's thousands of them by now. You don't actually believe this douche Do you yes, I do Oh please No he's oh well then let's go to Kpart And now i'm gonna ask the AskAn right off the bat has Kpart ever watched a reality show Do I answer before the clip or after? Yeah, you answer before the clip. Not only has he watched a reality show... ...I predict in this obviously short clip of 10 seconds that he will tell us his favorite reality show!

1:20:13 Ask Adam gets one point. I mean, i've watched reality television shows okay well one RuPaul's Drag Race Which is a fabulous, fabulous reality show. And I could have guessed that one! Crap! I could have gone for an extra point and obviously... Now back to your point about you think Brooks is a liar why would you lie about something like this when it puts you in an awkward position? of being a yeah he's a douche but why would you say that I've never watched the reality show and now i'm going to comment on pop culture, or I'm gonna comment on world affairs. I'm gonna comment on this and that Why would you put yourself in that position by lying about never watching a reality show? It makes no sense because... I don't believe he's ever watched a reality show but I do believe oh my god! I DO BELIEVE that Capehart watches with

1:21:09 Relish RuPaul's Drag Race. I think he is lying because he moves in super elitist circles, I've been in these circles where they would never ever admit to watching it so I have been in circles like this parties and this was when I was back in the MTV days you get mixed up with these things People say, oh hi. I don't watch MTV who are you? I'm sorry you like You do something. I don't watch cable Seriously those days. I don't watch the cable yeah, you're watching channel J. Yeah, I know what you're doing and you're watching What's that guy? Disgusting George was his name

1:22:00 The guy who would walk around with a camera and a satellite dish on his head, and would pick up pretty girls on the streets of Manhattan. What was his name? There's a bunch that shows- I don't remember that guys' name... Something George like George is George My favorite one was the extra E as for extra P or whatever it was. I don't know about that one. The public, whatever it was in New York City, what's it called? Cable access. The Access Channel or whatever is rude New York it was the Robin Bird show Robin bird there's another one baby bang my box yeah ugly George that is the ugly George hour of truth that's who it was ugly George and then there was what we knew he wasn't was it the guy who ran fact a magazine and he was had a show and all you do with screws out everybody was the screw guy yes crew magazine guys crew magazines

1:22:56 Goldfarb. It wasn't Goldstein? It was something like Goldstein, all he did was just say F you and they name a company. Al Goldstein! That was one of the better shows that was the TikTok of the day baby that was good stuff that was really that was dynamite stuff dynamite anyway yes I believe that's he's lying and And these people are all superstitious. Yeah, I disagree but okay... I agree to disagree! I agree to disagree sure Okay alright well now i'm spent now and I don't know what to say

Texas Heat Wave, NPR Climate Desk Reporting

A spring heat wave in Texas has broken May temperature records, with San Antonio reaching 100 degrees. NPR's Climate Desk reports on the dangers of early-season heat, featuring a Harvard physician who explains the biological process of "acclimatization." The hosts mock the concept, noting that Texans live in air conditioning, and suggest the "Climate Desk" exists primarily to secure grant funding.

global warming· texas· san antonio· npr· acclimatization· heat dome· harvard

1:23:43 Where do we go? What you got? Well, we've got some global warming in Texas. We went from... Let's see it was Monday was one no we went Sunday was I'm sorry when we go Saturday was 55 degrees by Monday it was a hundred and five then we had a couple days in the 80s and now it's down to a nice cool 75 Is that global warming? You've been in Texas long enough to answer this question. 15 years I'd say is the time I've been here. Can you say that's screwball, it's obviously global warming or is this Texas? In 2012 when I first visited...2012 no it was 2010

1:24:41 I came to Austin for the first time. We had a meetup, it was 112 degrees. That sounds about right! And it was July and okay yeah and people went don't you love it? Isn't it a beautiful day? The heat is on in Texas where a spring heat wave has broken May temperature records in some parts of the state. And that's not the only place where heat is an issue, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the planet's 10 warmest years since 1850 have all occurred in the past decade. Oh, of course it did! So we didn't- No wait a minute...

1:25:19 The 10 warmest years were in the last 10 years. This was 15 years ago! So every single year for the last decade has been the warmest? No, it's just not true I've been here It's not true But actually but I do like that they're saying global warming We did have a heat dome for a day or two That's where that's where 105 came from with just no wind And and actually when when the heat domes moves on and the wind kicks up That's when everyone gets nervous Oh man, it's dry and the wind and if there is one... One dude smoking a bone somewhere and he... And then boom, the whole place goes up. We'll burn up! Arelita Cantu lives in San Antonio Texas where it is currently sweltering around 100 degrees Oh, sweltering? A hundred degrees?! It was just nothing Hey I've been to Texas enough to know that I wear my hoodie in 100 degrees when I walk the dog! ...and its humid too So even though we may be- No

1:26:18 No, I'm sorry. It might be humid in Dallas or Houston but not here not in the hill country So even though we may be like hit 100 it's going to feel like 105 Texans are definitely not wait hold on stop it there a hundred is gonna feel like a hundred That's not what humidity does if its real humidity. No makes you're in Florida it's 90 well actually Forget it. Go to the Midwest, go up to Chicago. Chicago is 90 with high humidity It feels like it's 200 degrees. It's terrible! I've been in New York once where was so humid... You want a puke you walk outside? ...that I had to change my clothes twice in one day

1:27:03 It's going to feel like 105, 106. Texans are definitely not strangers to heat but Cantu is a public health nurse at the University of Texas Health San Antonio and she knows that heat like this is particularly dangerous when it comes early in the heat season Where are these clips from? What journalistic organization has put this together I believe these are NPR Without any favor 2024 being hottest year on record so far And experts say heat this early in the year can be especially risky. NPR's Climate Desk reporter Alejandra Barunda explains why. Hold on a second, but I want to be at the No Agenda climate desk! In fact i'm sitting behind the no agenda climate desk and it's not just Texas this is increasingly a problem across the United States Tess Wiskel is an emergency physician at Harvard University outside of Boston she has seen the emergency room fill up during early season heat waves even

1:28:01 when the temperatures don't seem super high. You tend to see outdoor workers getting sicker faster and we tend to see athletes and other people like that. Wiskel says that happens because people's bodies haven't yet gone through a process called acclimatization, that can take a couple weeks of heat exposure as bodies make some key changes It will sweat earlier to help cool you off when your acclimatized Your whole blood volume is going to change when you're acclimatized and all of these things help protect you from heat. So early in the year, a lot of people's bodies haven't done that yet That means higher risk for heat exhaustion, heat stroke even heart problems What are we reptiles?

1:28:41 What's this climatized body? We live in air conditioning, lady. Here's the funny thing about it... what difference does it make when the temperature goes from whatever it is to hot? I'm not climatized yet! If it happens in the spring, is it more dangerous than if it happens like in late spring or beginning of summer or middle of summer What difference does it make? It's actually been such a beautiful spring. It's been very cool, we had a lot of rain everyone is real happy but when I call Laura Logan about the South Afrikaners I'm going to say, Laura are you climatized yet?

1:29:20 And I'm sure she'll have an answer for me. This is, this is... You know the more I hear these clips because clearly no one is believing this anymore. I mean there's you look at Instagram used to be that if you did a climate change joke it would be taken down I mean there's comedians doing jokes about climate change. It has become a punchline almost! No one believes in climate change other than, yeah climate changes all the time whatever no one believes in it so you have to think that some of that sweet sweet climate change money is going to outfits like NPR

1:29:58 There must, just like pharma there's got to be money flowing into it. You can't tell me they're actually interested at the climate desk well the climate desk is interesting because without climate change there is no climate desk But these news models, they're saying like oh yes this is riveting I need to learn about climatization of the Texans. You don't even care you hate Texans! It makes no sense other than money money money Well anyway thank you for coming to The Climate Desk As part of The Climate Desk I always investigate what we can do to stop evil nasty

EV Range Anxiety, AAA Mobile Charging Service

AAA is expanding its roadside assistance to include mobile charging for electric vehicles to combat "range anxiety." The service provides a 15-to-30-minute charge, offering roughly 20 miles of range to reach a permanent station. The hosts question the efficiency of this system compared to a simple gallon of gasoline, noting the significant time investment required for EV recovery.

electric vehicles· tesla· aaa· mobile charging· range anxiety· roadside assistance

1:30:37 fossil fuel burning to mobilize ourselves because when we're climatized, we can't be mobilized. So we need battery cars and what is the big drawback of battery cars? I've had it! Because i once borrowed a Tesla to drive to college station It's called range anxiety If you run out of juice in an EV, roadside assistance is available in the form of mobile charging. Our main thing is to get you on the go we get you want to go you can make it home. AAA is adding to its roadside assistance program with a mobile charging fleet that's free for members. We call AAA and send out one of our vehicles that has equipment to charge your vehicle

1:31:17 The service takes between 15 to 30 minutes depending on how much juice you need. I'm gonna give our vehicle some power the roadside service has level 2 chargers with adapters for any electric vehicles Tesla and then non-Tesla it's that easy and i'll run it straight to your vehicle let me just plug this in that shows that it's giving in a charge. We get you enough to go about 20 miles maybe to get home or enough to the closest charging station will check to make sure that they have a good enough charge, we'll follow them to the closest gas stations just in case E V manufacturers like Toyota Ford and Tesla also offer mobile charging roadside assistance. The programs vary a bit depending on the automaker so you just need to make sure to ask about it. Triple A still gets more calls for gas refills but is

1:32:01 seeing a definite uptick in mobile charging. It says it will add the mobile charges to their trucks as needed to keep up guys with driving into the future back to you here we go range anxiety as though we need it anymore. Now missing from this report, I mean if yeah if you run out of gas and I've run out of gas in my life Yeah everybody has and so a guy comes along he's got a little And your grateful thank you. I'll have you on the road in no time. You see a can of gas get a gallon? Oh, I'll have you on the road in no time Mr. Curry Thank you for being a triple-a member Now how does it work with this? I'll have you on the road in about three hours Mr. Curry, just sit back and relax Do they have some supercharger in this truck all of a sudden? They have a huge capacitor that just blows it in? Well they get to max whatever it is It's in a truck! Yeah thats not gonna do much...they said they'd give ya 20 miles, they gave ya 15 minute crappy charge and your on your way

Lexus Loaner Review, Modern Car Safety Gizmos

A host reviews a Lexus UX 300H hybrid loaner vehicle, praising its smooth ride but criticizing the excessive "beeping and booping" of modern safety features. The discussion focuses on how automated systems like lane-keep assist and automatic braking may lead to the development of poor driving habits and a lack of situational awareness among modern drivers.

lexus ux 300h· hybrid· radar· lane assist· driving habits· blind spots

1:33:00 Which reminds me I have to give a... It's on your way to go wait three hours somewhere else, okay. I have to have a car report A car report? Oh nice Yeah so i had to take my old 20 year old Lexus into the dealer to have some work done. It has a bunch of expensive stuff to do now when you show up today, are they snickering at you or? No nobody snickers at this car because it's so pretty. They say wow there is that guy with that classic. That old car well okay what does he want? That's the same guy I see at the bank with that stack of two dollar checks that guys amazing! So Lexus one of their little benefits is you get a loaner

1:33:41 So I got a loaner and I got the, I guess it's the UX 300H. Or no its actually probably... Yeah its one of the 300s so 300 H is a three hundred or three liter hybrid. It's the hybrid Brand-new car yeah, I have to say are you saying hybrid or hybrid? I always say hybrid It's not a high bread is hybrid. I like hybrid better So uh do you I've got this cars of battery car mmM with a motor which I think is fine

1:34:18 Yeah. I don't know how people can drive these new cars, but I will say this is faster. It's smoother the ride is better. I'm coming back and looking at the speedometer doing 90 in a 60 zone. There's that guy with an old Lexus and the stack of $2 checks he's doing 90 in his 60 pull him over! So But it's the beeping and the booping and the radar, and the lights going on here and there. It's got too many gizmos in them crazy knobs and buttons into then the screen with all this stuff going on. It's a nightmare! And I would say that anyone who drives a modern super new car

1:35:06 I think they're going to develop a lot of bad habits. For one thing, you never look to see if there's a car coming if you're gonna change lanes because it got the... You can't! There are too many blind spots on these things. There is a lot of blind spots and they've got the little radar thing so get a little light in the corner of your mirror says, now there's a car here don't do no-no And so on both sides, which is fine. It's great it works and then of course the car I was backing out of the driveway with this car and somebody drove up driving up the street of course the car brakes just slams on the brakes to stops me If I was gonna run it. Oh, yeah. Yeah well that can be handy if you're looking at your phone Which is in the drawer there would be some feet But I really think it's gonna people who develop bad driving habits with these with these cars They're beeping at you constantly. I completely agree that there's any

1:36:04 And by the way, I see a lot of people looking at their phone in the car because these cars will keep them in the lane. Yeah it's another thing you can't keep... and they'll break automatically alright? I'm not worried about it It'll just break and be fine. It'll all be groovy, it'll be good. It's all good to go man It's, uh... yeah. There is a lot of beeping and booping in the cars I agree. Beeping and booping it just never ends! I even gunned it once The car goes faster than imaginable It has got good electric motors It's because that hybrid kicks in The hybrid? So it shoots off And then gives me a little beep of discontent Oh, beep! You go... no, you shouldn't do that

Yoga Mat Chemical, FDA Review of Azodicarbonamide

The FDA is reviewing the use of azodicarbonamide (ADA), a chemical used in yoga mats that is also a common dough conditioner in US bread. While banned in Europe due to its breakdown into potential carcinogens like semicarbazide, it remains legal in the US as a bleaching agent and volumizer. Major chains like Subway and Wendy's have previously pledged to remove the ingredient from their products.

azodicarbonamide· fda· yoga mat chemical· bread· subway· bleaching agent

1:36:47 Don't gun it. Speaking of high bread, this was an interesting little news bit I picked up from CBS The Food and Drug Administration says that is planning to review its approval of a so-called yoga mat chemical that's been banned in Europe but can be a bread ingredient in the US. The agency previously approved... Always grinding my yoga mats into bread Bread ingredient in the U.S The agency previously approved it to whiten cereal flour and improve baking bread dough, but advocacy groups have raised concerns about its potential health risks. For more on this and other health news let's bring in CBS News Digital Reporter Alex Tan. Alex what are the concerns with this so-called yoga mat ingredient?

1:37:32 Yes, so this ingredient which is called ADA for short I'm not gonna try to pronounce the longer name because I did not do too well in chemistry when I was in college but... Well let's give it a shot. Azodicarbonamide You're the chemist of the group here? I'd have to look at the writing Just go just do ADA chemical and it pops up on Wikipedia. ADA chemical? Yeah, so it has the... It's a bunch of balls! There are blue balls and there are some red balls and a couple of silver balls. A lot of balls H- Azodicarbonamide. I think it would be mead. Yes, the chemical compound

1:38:17 It is a yellow to orange red odorless crystalline powder sometimes called the yoga mat chemical because that's what you want in your bread. What is wrong with people? DA was a bread ingredient that is used in the United States essentially as you said to improve Bread flour sometimes used to improve cereal as well There is some concern In other countries that when this flat when this ingredient is used in flour It can break down into another chemical that for short is called SEM I'm not gonna try it's pronounced a long name for that either which might cause

1:38:54 cancer. That's actually why Europe many, many years ago said that they would not allow the use of this chemical in bread in their country in the United States. They have said that their studies—this is according to the FDA a few years ago—found that the amount of this chemical that was showing up in the food supply as a result of the baking process was too small, they thought, to actually cause a cancer risk." What is going on? The second reaction, the semi carbazide and ethylcarbamate are the two things. One's urethane. This is interesting chemical I'm looking at it says the chemical itself is prepared with a treatment of urea with hydrazine. Urea isn't that what is urea? It's an ammonia compound yeah yeah it's like fertilizer

1:39:47 Why this ever get discovered they can use it? What is the point of some guy I want hey, I got it. Let's put this in the bread Yoga man allowed to be added to flowers It's what reason I think it's called bleaching subway and Wendy's decided They're not gonna use it anymore there does a dough conditioner Conditioner Yeah, it's bleaching. It's a bleaching agent This is this I've heard about this being a huge deal that this is used to bleach Dough for those already bleached. I think the United States is one of the few Countries, I believe that does this bleaching and i've never understood why yeah here's a Synthetic chemical compound used primarily in the food industry as a dough conditioner and a flour treatment agent Why do we need to condition the dough?

1:40:41 Isn't dough just dough? Oh, it's added to bread and other baked goods to improve texture increase volume. Ah there it is It's a volumizer So it looks like he got more bread ADA functions as a leavening agent by releasing gas when heated which helps the dough rise oh my goodness Sorry for making balloon bread Which is out of favor Well none of this should be in favor This is all horrible This is not good Hmm Well, while we're on it... This is nothing but bad news these days. Bad news! Meantime an alarming health trend as new research shows a rise in early onset cancers and another alarming cancer report I gotta follow up to this then Younger adults and now researchers of course want to know why According to the National Cancer Institute more than 2 million Americans between 15-49 years

Early Onset Cancer Rise, American Cancer Society Report

The National Cancer Institute reports a significant rise in early-onset cancers among Americans aged 15 to 49, particularly in breast, colorectal, and pancreatic categories. Dr. Arif Kamal of the American Cancer Society discusses potential causes, including diet and environmental factors. The hosts question the timing of the data (2010-2019) and suggest that more recent trends may be linked to post-COVID medical interventions.

1:41:43 were diagnosed with cancer between the years of 2010 and 2019. Data shows the largest increases in breast, colorectal, uterine pancreatic and kidney cancers Dr. Arif Kamal from the American Cancer Society joins me now with more, doctor thanks for taking the time this is really important to talk about right off the bat I'd like to have you give us a little bit more about the findings and of course that all-important question do we have any idea why we're seeing an increase in these types of cancers especially in younger people? Dr. Dvorak do you have any idea is there anything that changed in the past five years they just might have caused this? You gotta look at the dates they gave us here it's 2010 to 2019

1:42:22 Pre-vax. Oh, is that what he just said? Yep Yeah this is frankly alarming we've never seen such a dramatic change in the number of people being diagnosed with cancer ever before particularly when people think about cancer they think about folks in their 60's and 70's I don't know... He's talking like it's now I think they fudge these dates. Dr. Arif Kamal from the American Cancer Society joins us now... It's very strange, they may have just thrown that in you're right just to kind of throw us off like oh that was 10 years ago so your report now is about something happened ten years ago this doctor seems to be talking about now

1:43:20 Yeah, this is frankly alarming. We've never seen such a dramatic change in the number of people being diagnosed with cancer. And I say that because if it was alarming it would have been alarming 10 years ago and we were doing this show ten years ago. No not ten years ago 2019 is only six years ago but besides the point six years ago so six years is a long time yeah there would have been alarming reports then and there weren't Yeah, this is frankly alarming. We've never seen such a dramatic change in the number of people being diagnosed with cancer ever before particularly when people think about cancer they think about folks in their 60s and 70s this is really people under the age of 50 and if you look at these types of cancers it's a mix of cancers that can be screened like colorectal cancer and breast but others like pancreas cancer and uterine cancer that don't I think it's really important for people under the age of 50 to think

1:44:06 3 B's. early bleeding that people might think is hemorrhoidal bleeding, but that should be brought up to their doctors. And lastly burns we know that skin cancer continues to go up particularly melanoma so paying attention to where you're getting burns cutting down on that and pointing out of normal lesions to your doctors is really important. And then the second part of this and I'm curious about your clip this is it's uh... it's uh... according to this study doctor sixty three percent of the early onset cancers were among women do we know why women are more affected?

1:44:48 Yeah, a lot of theories right now. It's an overall trend not only for younger people but we're seeing overall women are being more diagnosed with cancer than men before that's also pretty remarkable shift it used to be quite a bit more men were diagnosed in the last 20 years when I completely sure why there are some hypothesis disease, unhealthy weight or diet or environmental factors. It's important more research is needed but it is also you know important to remember that some of these things are screenable like the breast cancers we're seeing that some of the rates have returned back to mammograms after COVID have returned in some communities back to baseline levels but not everywhere so it's really important women out there start their mammograms at age 40 and go every year or every other year as well

Youth Stroke Increase, Mainstream Media Medical Hooks

Mainstream media outlets like GMA report a troubling rise in strokes among people under age 45, citing a 15% increase over the last decade. The reports feature stories of young women suffering from blood clots but fail to provide "surprising" reasons beyond standard risks like stress and high blood pressure. The hosts criticize these segments as "crappy mainstream media techniques" that avoid discussing recent vaccination history.

1:45:27 But you said after COVID, that's not between 2010 and 2019. Nope! By the way Dr. Curry recommends thermography not mammography Most women agree It's thermal You can do thermal You're not a doctor No I'm not...I said Dr. Curry Do you know Dr. Curry? I didn't say me, I said Dr. Curry Oh okay Well we have the same situation only now with cancers Yeah but with strokes This morning the number of young people experiencing strokes is on the rise. You hear about it but you just never think this is gonna happen to me last April at just 23 years old and folk was folding laundry at home when she felt half of her body go numb

1:46:10 Half of my body was totally immobilized on the left side and on my right side it felt like as if I was having a seizure that was uncontrollable. And then, I also had a very severe migraine in my head as well. After a friend called 911 she was rushed to Endeavor Health Northwest Community Hospital... I think you're playing the second clip first. I'm sorry didn't realize there were two Yeah well then you're playing the one that's miswritten this is droke Yes, because let me just tell you but there's an actual clip that says stroke Okay Just so you know when I look at the one you are talking about a clip. I started yeah I know what you do But let me just explain it So people and things don't think I'm a dummy because I keep oh, yeah clips here No this is true all right Let me let me pre-explain your explanation Adam does

1:47:03 To make the show work, we have to recue each other and Adam is looking for... When I start talking about a clip he finds the clip before I'm finished with my sentence. and usually has it queued up ready to go. But he does it in alphabetical order, so... And he knows I make spelling mistakes because of the nature of the way I type. Just a few! And so uh.. and I usually correct him but sometimes I don't. So he goes down the list and sees DROKE. Yes! And so he figures okay this is the clip that's gonna be on, I'm going to play this clip. It's the Droke clip He didn't notice the two on there cause he just took for granted cause he didn't see anything else. He didn't see a one

1:47:39 But there is a stroke one clip down below. I'm sorry, so that is it? That's we're code dependent when it comes to making mistakes different strokes for different drugs on that. But but this is the way the only reason the show works as well as it does because we were in anticipation usually which is why it's annoying when they clean feed goes dead and I try to interrupt and I can't Just a call back to the early part of the show. So let's go to the original clip which starts us off because there's a There's a gotcha in there and turn now to a GMA health alert May is stroke awareness month And while most people think of strokes as something I don't want to share my strokes with the pride or vice versa that's unfair

1:48:34 We're gonna turn now to a GMA Health Alert. May is Stroke Awareness Month, and while most people think of strokes as something that affects older adults the latest numbers show a troubling rise among young people. Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Tara Narula's here to explain all this. Good morning, Dr. Narula. Good morning George. That's right doctors are seeing more strokes in patients under 45 and the reasons may surprise you. And the reasons may surprise you! You're about to hear from two young women... Wait did you double that up? I doubled that up because The reasons won't surprise you and she really never gives any reasons in this entire report. It's bullcrap! In patients under 45, and the reasons may surprise you...and the reasons may surprise you You're about to hear from two young women both in their early 20s who never thought it could happen to them Here is their story

1:49:21 So the reasons may surprise you and we don't hear the actual reasons. Let me go, I'm guessing our next clip is DROKE ABCBS2. Yes the DROKE one brings in some guy who Kind of thinks maybe this, there's no reasons. They're not surprising anybody." This morning the number of young people experiencing strokes is on the rise. You hear about it but you just never think this is gonna happen to me. Last April at just 23 years old Ann Folk was folding laundry at home when she felt half of her body go numb Half of my body was totally immobilized on the left side and on my right side it felt like as if I was having a seizure that was uncontrollable. And then, I also had a very severe migraine in my head as well.

1:50:10 After a friend called 911, she was rushed to Endeavor Health Northwest Community Hospital in Chicago where doctors confirmed she was suffering from a stroke from the blood clot on the right side of her brain. For Aubrey Hasley, she was just 22 when she too had a stroke last June. I had really loud ringing in my ears for a couple seconds and And I guess it kind of freaked me out because my balance was so off and i was just falling over anytime. I tried to stand up Aubrey receiving care at the same hospital doctors performing a thrombectomy to remove a clot while most strokes still affect older adults, the latest CDC data shows a sharp increase in stroke related hospitalizations for people

1:50:53 under 45. One recent report indicating a nearly 15 percent rise over the past decade. The same risk factors that you see in elderly, you also see it now in younger is like high blood pressure, high cholesterol more stress on the patient long working hours so we think this could probably contribute to the rising stroke in young people. Because of Ann and Aubrey's quick action they're both now in recovery recovery and doing well. Just be aware that it could happen to anyone of any age, so definitely look out for those signs. The bottom line here is strokes can happen at any age if you or someone around you is experiencing sudden numbness are having trouble speaking or difficulty walking call 911 immediately the faster you act the better the outcome guys. Boy that was really eye opening thanks very much. What was there? Hold on

1:51:44 What was the reason that will surprise you? There was no reason that surprised me, other than blood clots. It seemed like blood clots! They throw this stuff in at the beginning of these reports and the reasons will surprise you it's just a hook and it's bullcrap These are the crappy mainstream media techniques that are old-fashioned and should be abandoned Why don't they just say? Because all these... Did they ask these two women if they had the vaccine and they boosted I mean, I would like to know that. Personally... I'm still stuck on it being Pride Stroke Month! I mean, I'm not quite sure... It's Pride Stroke Month! I think have an ABC stroke report as well and see if it is the same. Stroke is the leading cause of... Yeah, it's the same. Okay Well your NOAA Gender Show has something too that may be part of it

Mike Yeadon, COVID-19 Pandemic Fraud Allegations

Former Pfizer Vice President Dr. Mike Yeadon claims the COVID-19 pandemic was a fraudulent event driven by inappropriate PCR testing and lethal hospital protocols. He argues that it is biologically impossible to develop a safe medical product in the timeframe of Operation Warp Speed. Yeadon alleges that the injections contained intentionally toxic materials, resulting in millions of deaths globally.

mike yeadon· pfizer· pcr test· ventilators· warp speed· toxic materials

1:52:39 And you know, this is COVID stuff. I'm sorry none of us are over the trauma of it We all know people who have gotten the vax we know people who didn't take the vax We knew people who still take the vacs? We know people who regret taking as there's all kinds of people every the rainbow It it is the rainbow of vaccination Do you remember former Pfizer vice president dr.. Mike Eden and Yes I do. forewarned, it's not nice to hear. There has not been a pandemic. Dennis Rancourt data shows that the all-cause mortality evidence data did not increase at all in the run up to the declaration fraudulently by WHO of a pandemic there is no public health emergency except that created by our government an inappropriate fraudulent PCR test was used

1:53:40 to give people the impression that they had a particular disease where they didn't. There were all the normal diseases and then... It's just as a summary of the no agenda show for the last five years? Yes, but then the second. Yeah this is a summary it's only a minute and then he gives us the bad news. Disease where they didn't have all normal diseases and what happened was in three different ways people were treated badly through changed medical procedures that were imposed above the level of nation briefly mass ventilation of people inappropriately in hospitals that led to lots of deaths. In care homes, many people were given sedatives and respiratory depressants which led to their deaths. My PhD was specifically in that area of opiates and respiratory depression and in the community people were denied life-saving antibiotics and died of bacterial pneumonia. There's your pandemic.

1:54:36 there was no other pandemic and based on this lie we were told that vaccines were coming our way and would be our savior. Two things as I say first there's no pandemic so you certainly don't need an experimental or rushed medical interventions but secondly even if you did, someone who has worked in the industry for over 30 years i am telling you it is absolutely impossible to invent, test clinically evaluate and manufacture and then launch on global scale a complex biomedical product. It's absolutely impossible it's not as close it's years wrong okay so that was indeed the summary right down to because remember we went to Vegas for the super spreader event and there's that hospital there and all of

1:55:21 ventilator trainers, the people who train people and instruct them how to use ventilators. And they were telling me like man I don't want to lose my job but we're killing people with this stuff. We're doing it wrong. We're doing everything exactly the opposite of what we think we should be doing so yes that was a summary of what we discussed during COVID when people cared about us now we're just wrong about everything. Now we are just wrong you're wrong! Not wrong because of Ukraine Wrong side of history man yeah exactly But here comes the downer. The fastest record price of this was six years and friends of mine who've worked all their lives in manufacturing with complex biological products tell me, the methods development alone for developments of a reproducible manufacturing process itself takes a number of years so whatever it is you think was done I am telling you that was not the development of a proper medical product what i think happened

1:56:19 was the advancement of materials that are intentionally toxic. and then it was sketchily advanced and jammed into people's arms, often coerced sometimes even mandated with the unsurprising effect that millions of people have died. So I think having heard what I've just said there was no pandemic and the line was maintained in order to inject people en masse, 5.5 billion people with an intentionally dangerous substance 17 million of whom have died so far There you go. It's just a guy who used to be a vice president at Pfizer pay no attention to him and the 17 million He says that's what he says, yeah And I'm gonna give you a borderline clip for that You know, I will take a borderline clip from you

1:57:16 By the way, we have next Sunday will be a best of clips of the day show. And by the way that should be fun. Oh it's I will say this about the borderline. I would have given you maybe clip of the day if it sounded better. If it sounded better. It was one of those zoom calls that here's if President Trump would just say in hindsight I did everything that I was supposed to do. I got warp speed going We rushed this out. It wasn't a good shot, you know He talks about the fat shot that this shot if he would just say that he would endear so many people That I mean and he would piss off a lot of people but it they would bring clarity to the world It'd be I'd be so much. I prefer him to say those five words it was a lousy shot

1:58:17 Then I care more about the Epstein or the JFK, or honestly even if there's an ice wall at the edge of the flat earth. Firmament first, baby. I believe this is not within his personality to do this? Yeah, no, I think you're right And the system is set up that they would use that against him in some way or shape or form They're already trying to make him anti-american as we discussed earlier and it's just probably not a good idea

No Agenda Meetup Report, Bar 1776 and J6 Support

Adam Curry provides a report from a recent meetup at Bar 1776 in Texas, a venue owned by a January 6 participant that supports paroled defendants. The event featured "value for value" barbecue and various producer gifts, including probiotic septic tank treatments and custom woodworking. The hosts emphasize the importance of using modern podcast apps to access live streams and archived episodes.

He love the value for value model. He thought it was really great And I'll tell you, Rob gave me a lowdown on this Supreme Court habeas corpus thing which we'll talk about. Anyway it was great meetup thank y'all for being there but not a lot of people were donating in person i think some of them will show up on the spreadsheet these are all donors not a single one is not a donor well when who's the guy who said hey man I'm on fixed income but here's five dollars and that was very nice actually we got um...

2:05:13 The BioPros had given two bags of Bioseptic Pro, what you called the goo for your septic tank. Oh you finally got some! Yes and with a check for 222.22 which is five number twos got it and two bags of Bioseptic Pro for you to try he says bioseptic pro is not a goo John But a powder that is activated when it comes in contact with water was created by scientists who engineered the microbes and retired chemical engineer from Pittsburgh, Plate Glass who created the delivery medium. It's like probiotics for your septic tank! And they're at biopros.com Sir Ducifer gave us each $20 cash

No Agenda Art Contest, Executive Producer Credits

The hosts discuss the episode's artwork, "Rage Quit" by Darren O'Neill, and the technical limitations of AI-generated images regarding dynamic range. They explain the "Executive Producer" and "Associate Executive Producer" credit system, which allows donors to receive official Hollywood credits on IMDB.com for their financial support of the show.

ai art· midjourney· executive producer· imdb· value for value· rage quit

2:06:48 So that's just many ways that we share in value for value. Another way that can be done is through the work that many people do, like organizing a meetup! Matt Long organizes meetups gotta love him for that or you could make some artwork for us We love our art and The Know Agenda artists are always hard at work during the live show Just well some are hard at work Some just type a lot Like Darren O'Neill Or...or Like Darren O'Neill, I was right. Who did the artwork for episode 1764 titled Rage Quit and this was a... It looked like it was cut out of a newspaper Noah Jenner presents the JC TikTok show by Curry & Dvorak The latest hip videos deconstructed And we just gotta admit besides that fact there's no white in these AI images which you correctly pointed out

2:07:46 When you really, when you got it down like Darren It's good. I mean, it is getting hard to beat. Yeah except this again is part of the muddy complex and I've noticed this like even by the one I use they use the please donate dog from comic strip blogger who uses AI and if you look at his which is right next to Darren on them on the sheet that no agenda currying Dvorak is in its kind of white but it's not as kind of muddy way yeah your rights Yeah, we want an explanation comic strip blogger. Tell us I want an explanation from the AI have the egg They've got to do something about them the Dynamic range of these art pieces yeah, I don't think they can it's just like a no they get there have to be It's a copy of a copy of a copy just it can't be done is done There were number of entrance Let's see what other things that we discuss

2:08:47 I like the rage quit one which i thought was funny by Darren also by Darren with that Muppet looking guy. It's supposed to be me, I guess? There was a lot of reparations for gingers... it was funny but not really dynamite then a lot of airplanes with bows on it like Trump plane uh I mean it still takes a good idea You know, I don't care how much AI you have or if you do it by hand. You still need to have a good idea and that's what Darren did was there anything else that we had discussed? We liked? Don't think so

2:09:30 Do you remember? Toxic Compassion. It was Slim Pickens, I thought and there's a lot of pieces that i think could have been used but in terms of what we really were attracted to is very narrow That's true Anyway NoahGenArtGenerator.com is where you can participate in this so-called contest where we do it every single show and uh...we're very grateful to our artists in the Noah Gen donations You can get Monation We also thank everybody who supports the show financially and it's incredibly important that you do that. And I don't care if its $5 a month, whatever you can afford If you get value from the show You should be sending value back to us That is what has kept us going for more than 17 years now So we'll thank everybody 50 dollars and above and we'd like to highlight kind of a Hollywood vibe that we've developed over the year

2:10:20 which is the executive and associate executive producers, kind of like Hollywood where if you actually pay a lot of money and we're not talking millions of dollars. We're talking $200 or above then you get an associate executive producer credit and will read your notes...and there's some long notes today We try to make it a little short if possible. And $300 and above, you get an executive producer credit and we'll read your note in both of these can be used as official Hollywood credits people do it all the time including IMDB.com universally recognized as the credit repository. You could see there's over 1000 people who have opened up an account and legally and correctly added their executive or associate executive producer credit to it. So I'll kick it off with Ben Nydus he been has been around

As if graduating wasn't enough to accomplish this year, the 32125 plus fees donation also celebrates the birth of Nick's daughter and our first grandchild Francesca Rose Roman who came into the world on 32125 See numbers are important So what gift do you get for young man who has it all? He's got a degree he's gotta kid presumably a wife Of course, a producer credit for the best podcast in the universe. We are so proud of the man he has become. Listening to The No Agenda Podcast has been such a positive influence on him and has kept our family grounded and always seeking the truth! Remember families that N-A together stay together. I love hearing that

2:14:48 I'd like to request some goat karma for him, his girlfriend Christine and the rest of the family. For jingles can we have Trump massive dumps?

Producer Daniel Peruzzo shares an interview with Dr. Andrea Rossi regarding the "E-Cat," an energy catalyzer based on Low Energy Nuclear Reaction (LENR) technology. The device reportedly produces self-sustaining electricity without fuel. The discussion touches on the history of suppressed energy technologies, referencing figures like Nikola Tesla and Stanley Meyer, and the potential for bureaucratic interference in the energy sector.

2:15:51 Then we go to Bowman McMahon in San Antonio, Texas where it's 105. Yeah, we're not even climatizing it. Here is a simple message thank you for your courage he writes. Nice! Error Dadarian, Trabuco Canyon error back on the stick $250 associate executive producership not his first and says thank you for an outstanding product and thank you we appreciate you error Well, that gives you the next one to read because it blows out my spreadsheet on my small monitor. Consider a larger monitor. ITM Gents says Daniel Peruzzo from Courtenay British Columbia, Canada, 23860. Now is that... Oh! He's going to be moved up because this is indeed

2:16:38 a $3.33.33 Candanavian donation not only to support the best podcast in the universe but also to help spread the word about a groundbreaking event... Wow, 3.33.33 is now 2.38? and 60 cents Oh my god He wants to help spread the word about a groundbreaking invention with the potential to revolutionize energy production. I'm listening. Zero point energy! This innovation could bring an end to endless financial drain of the climate agenda that will burden many future generations, perhaps hold an end to never-ending wars and bring real relief for those who need it most. Dream on...

2:17:17 My name is Dan Peruzza. I'm a small-time video producer in Cortnay, BC. I recently did an interview with Dr Andrea Rossi in Rome who has created a device called ECATS the energy catalyzer that produces electricity in self sustaining mode you mean like perpetual motion which means it can create energy without the need for fuel this is based on the concept of LENR. Right up your alley! Yeah I love this low energy nuclear reaction AKA ColdFusion, which is first introduced to the world in the late 80s by scientists Pons and Fleischman but swiftly headed into the dustbin of controlled conspiracy theories. Yeah yeah I can see John's rolling his eyes you can find the video titled E-Cat The New Fire on my website solutionsunincorporated.com Not my best work but i really wanted to get the word out that this tech is real and close to market however I do have concerns.

2:18:16 By the way, anti-gravity any minute. Energy is a multi-trillion dollar industry. I will assume those who control the sector would not care for this technology to see the light of day, like many other inventions that have mysteriously disappeared right before they hit the market! Think Nikola Tesla, Stanley Mayer, Tom Ogle, Yule Brown, Royal Rife and the list goes on... My fear is the same will happen with Dr Rossi's eCat Although he has secured investors and moved from development to manufacturing, I could easily see being tied up in bureaucratic red tape or being bought by a... jeez Uh, by a shell corporation and filed away into the oops how did that get lost drawer. Oh my god how much more do you have here bro? Okay uh anyway e-cat new fire on his website solutions unincorporated I'll take a look for sure no jingles good karma for all and please call out our freshly installed prime minister Mark Carney as a douchebag. Alright brother thank you very much i'm a fan! You've got karma

2:19:19 I'm sorry. That was quite a long note. All right, onward with William Messing in Vashon Washington 233 this is an associate executive producer donation for my lifelong friend Sir Chris of Carmel please play a Reverend L jingle. Oh i got one R-E-S-P-I-C-T. By the way, I'm trying to read through the rest of that note that he sent that didn't fit on your spreadsheet or mine He says hey man let me get Dana Brunetti to do a movie about him Yeah, that would be quite cool. BRUNETTI! Brunetti you're up man

Coffee Supplier Update, Farmers Market Economics

Eli the Coffee Guy provides an update on Gigawatt Coffee Roasters and the start of the farmers market season. John Dvorak critiques the high prices at San Francisco Bay Area farmers markets, calling them a "rip-off" compared to traditional models. The segment concludes with a discussion on septic tank maintenance and a note about Ted Nugent's exclusion from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

2:21:00 So you can trust... He's saying it for me? Yeah, yeah. He's trying to bring you back to the kingdom, you lapse Catholic, you! People will try it's what we do with the Great Commission Coming in with $205 and 18 cents there he is our supplier The man who gives us the buzz Eli the coffee guy Bensonville Illinois The new sad puppy in the newsletter got to me AI is taking over and its even replaced the OG sad puppy What is the world coming too?! He's got a point. Can I get some jobs karma for the start of another great farmers market season? Yes, to all producers in the Chicagoland area... This is interesting by the way he goes to the big farmers market there Yeah this what you do

2:21:46 If you're serious, farmers markets are great. We have one here every Thursday of course. Let me stop for a second. Are you going to say something about... Yeah the farmer's markets around here there's a couple good ones most of them are a blatant ripoff The one in Emery, no it's in Kensington that takes place at the morning of the show. There was just a couple bakeries there. It was like guys' bakeries and other people there and their prices are... The bakeries are the same as at the bakery but they're vendors of the strawberries and all the rest of it. They jack up to price. Their farmer's market is supposed to be a way to get rid of the middleman and get a deal. You're supposed to get a deal if you go to Georgia or Atlanta, Georgia I've been to the farmers market

2:22:31 It's like a good deal. You're not getting ripped off, you're getting the farmers prices. These around here especially in the San Francisco Bay Area I'd say the one at the Ferry Building and elsewhere and the one in Kensington for example are just a jip! They were rip-off they had two or three bucks to the price because it was from the farmer bullcrap Well, we have a farmer's market here which is not bullcrap. Unfortunately it's on Thursday so I can never attend it and when I was in Austin I still miss Farmer Chris with the eggs. I miss Farmer Chris' eggs To continue with Eli the coffee guy he says I hope they said so all produced in the Chicago and area Hope to see you at our tent sometime this summer and visit our website on the social nets to see where we'll be for everybody else a little further afield don't miss out on all the fun visit gigawatt coffeeroasters.com And use code ITM 24 20% off your order Thank you for your courage, and stay caffeinated says Eli the coffee guy

2:23:32 This brings us to Steven Anders who's in Munchen, Munich. Hello Munchen Deutschland! Here is the Hoff. 200 bucks he doesn't have a note but so we'll give him a double up karma yes we will send it over And last on the list, she's always on the list and we love her for it.

Harvard Research Grant Cuts, Pharmaceutical Profit Critique

The Trump administration has frozen hundreds of millions of dollars in research grants to Harvard University following a federal anti-Semitism task force investigation. Researchers at the Ludwig Cancer Center claim these cuts will impede breast cancer detection progress. The hosts argue that pharmaceutical companies, which report billions in annual profits, should fund this research rather than relying on taxpayers, especially given Harvard's multi-billion dollar endowment.

harvard· anti-semitism· research grants· johnson & johnson· cancer research· endowment

2:27:16 So this is really about President Trump saying, hey you guys you jacked up the prices on admissions You got hundreds of billions of dollars in endowments. You don't pay any tax on it. Your bunch of elite is globalist I'm going to screw you for ideological reasons How is he screwing them? He's just not giving them government money. It's a private institution Why do they deserve government money I'm saying this because...I'm asking you Well, they don't but i'm saying this because that was on the clip earlier it's a callback baby So let's play this and see what, what's the complaint now? The Trump administration's feud with major American universities escalated this week. A federal anti-Semitism task force notified Harvard that $450 million of the school's research grants are being cut and that's on top of the 2.2 billion dollars it had previously frozen

2:28:18 Laura Barone Lopez spoke with one of the affected researchers, Jane Brugges, the director of Harvard's Ludwig Cancer Center. Dr. Brugges you've been working for years on breast cancer research tell me what type of research exactly are you doing and the type of progress that you've made? In my lab the ultimate goal of our research efforts is to find better ways to detect and destroy cancer in its tracks And the Breast Cancer Research Project that is funded by a National Cancer Institute grant, that is currently frozen specifically aims to identify and profile the earliest precursors or harbingers of breast cancer before these precursors become cancer. Oh they're doing important work! National Cancer Institute fund? Is that so in other words it doesn't really exist as just government money? Is that what you're saying? I'm not sure but sounds like it

2:29:16 So 400 million bucks is not going to Harvard because there are a bunch of Jew haters. And so she's whining because the national... Yeah, that's the reason. That the only reason? Well, nobody like it. It's also you know this could be a money grab Yeah could be just possibly so the goal then is to develop methods to detect these early precursors and then design treatments that prevent them from becoming cancer So that means say if someone had one of those what's known as a BRCA gene That you could help stop that in its tracks

2:29:54 Yes, this would allow us to monitor the development or the expansion of these early precursors. And even before we had treatments for them we could be able to tell when they're starting to expand and that would be a real cue... That would be the cue for those women to have the prophylactic breast cancer mastectomies How important ultimately are federal grants in the work that you do? I would say federal grants are the most important contributors to our research effort. There just isn't enough money from foundations or partnerships with companies that, uh, to cover the amount of research that is...that there's opportunities for them to pursue. There's an interesting tell in that um...the tell or interesting point here there's not enough

2:30:48 non-profits, basically what she said or companies that are even interested in stopping cancer. Of course they're not! It's a boondoggle Well whatever they developed though it is those companies that make the profits Yeah but if they saw...if they cure cancer Oh they're not curing cancer That's one of them By the way on The Quad Box right now Former President Biden diagnosed with quote aggressive prostate cancer. It's in his bones To his bones? Yeah. That's not where prostate cancer usually goes, but okay! It says Biden diagnosed with quote aggressive unquote prostate cancer has spread... I think he did get the vax. Has spread to his bones. So before you go on yeah just complaining this is 440 million bucks i think that the government's like pulling saying now screw it yeah

2:31:45 What would, I know you probably don't notice at the top of your head but for example let's look at the top 10 pharma companies and their their net profit, what was the profit made by let's say the top one Johnson & Johnson in 2024? What was the profit how many dollars did they end up in their coffers at the end of the year. So profits after they've paid for everything there and yeah all taken care everything so it's just pure are they a public company Johnson & Johnson yes course I would say

2:32:21 $23 billion. Well that's high, but it's 18 billion and every other of the top 10 is 15 billion or more. It's 15 billions 16 billions 17... These are billions and billions. Hold on a sec so what you're saying is they should I mean what if you got eighteen billion, seventeen-and-a-half billion okay? Shouldn't they be giving that to Harvard so they can... 10 billion is okay and they can give 8 billion to Harvard but they don't give any billion to Harvard. They do, it doesn't was not talked about in this report neither is it talked about in this report by Lopez

2:32:59 How much money these pharma companies are just making, they're making bank all you go to the top 20 and it's all in the multi billions. You know from 10 billion to 18. Excuse me? You're thinking that Lopez is going to ask a question that might look bad of the pharmaceutical industry? Do I think that? What do you think, but the point is is that this whining anti-Trump votes his fall isn't bullcrap. Yes with termination of say for instance the grant to our lab we would have to We'd have to, we wouldn't have the money to fund salaries for the postdoctoral fellows or trainees. They're doing work. We lose some money necessary to buy supplies for these studies and to pay for the technology. Hold on a second. How about taking just the annual interest on your $100 billion endowment? It's about 60 50 to 60 billion

2:34:02 Okay, be honest about it. Okay? Do you think I know is think there's a million way at least a billion Yeah, they're trainees and research scientists are doing the work We lose the money necessary to buy supplies for these studies and to pay for the blind allergies And this would severely in impede progress towards our goal especially when we're so close we've actually identified these cells that think are the earliest precursor to cancer, and so we wouldn't be able to develop methods that this work would have impact in the community. I never imagined there would be a cross-the-board cut in research that could have such important

2:34:44 implications for the general well-being of the United States. If research like yours is ultimately cut off, what effect would it have on everyday Americans and the work that you and others do at Harvard? there would be a really significant delay advancing all of the research findings that we've made to date. And so this, you know, would slow down the development of therapies depending on how long and how broadly these cuts are applied but there are a lot of other consequences like the reduction in research funding would reduce the pipeline of disease impacting discoveries from US

2:35:25 academic institutions to pharmaceutical companies that then translate the discoveries into treatments and cures for diseases. So industry relies on these discoveries, we would also lose our competitive edge in leadership in the world laboratories at other countries would have a significant competitive edge if the discoveries are made outside of United States. What a crock! You know, now that I think about it. I'm just looking at Biden and thinking about Trump and thinking about you... You really know a lot of stuff. You should run for president. You've got at least 15 years to become president Yeah, I do have time ahead with something like that. But this is a nonsense complaint $440 million

2:36:12 And they say, and the pharmaceutical companies aren't gonna get the benefit of our research. The pharmaceutical company should be giving you the $440 million dollars is not a big deal when they're making 18 billion a year at minimum and that's one of 20 or 30 of these companies. The other thing it just it's ludicrous to add then you have your own endowment this whining and they get backed up by PBS in this Lopez woman is just pathetic And it's always a thing. How dumb do they think the public is to fall for this? Well, the public isn't watching that so you know this well they are not watching the not listening there is a lot of people that watch and listen to this crap yeah why are they listening to our show I don't know we have a million we have a week we get the cognoscenti the cognitive or show the cognoscente writing it down

James Comey Seashell Post, UAE AI Deals

A social media post by former FBI Director James Comey featuring 8,647 seashells sparked controversy, as the number matched the days since 9/11. Meanwhile, Donald Trump's Middle East tour resulted in $200 billion in deals, including a massive AI data center in Abu Dhabi and the sale of Boeing aircraft. The UAE has pledged to increase energy investments in the US to $440 billion over the next decade.

2:37:08 I want a t-shirt. I'm a cognoscenti so you are you're actually a Cognoscenti, you know this whole we don't have any clips about it But the whole Comey 86 47 shells on the beach deal as funny We don't have any clips because for both like that's all Fox talked about eye roll but I liked the coincidence of that when he posted that picture it had been 8,647 days since September 11th 2001. I don't know who came up with it but what is James Comey really trying to tell us? Well that's an interesting boinky dink! Yeah there are no coincidences in the kingdom

2:37:53 So, yes everything seems to be anti-Trump. Kill the president 86 47 he's no good he's horrible he's racist he only is a white nationalist. He criticizes the country from afar African News did a positive little well only a minute but they had a positive wrap up of his deals! The deals he did for us people United States President Donald Trump wrapped up his Middle East tour on Friday that saw him visit Saudi Arabia, Qatar and with the last stop in the United Arab Emirates. In this first visit to the UAE by a US president since 2008, the two countries pledged to strengthen ties and announced deals totaling over $200 billion dollars. This includes partnership with the UAE to build a massive AI data center in its capital Abu Dhabi and for the Gulf state Dubai advanced AI semiconductors from us companies

2:38:49 Its 80-head airways is said it will buy 28 US made Boeing aircraft in a deal worth $14.5 billion, while Abu Dhabi the UAE's capital pledged to hike the value of its energy investments in the U.S. to $440 billion in the next decade The four day trip was very much focused on business and resulted in a string of lucrative deals for both Washington and the three countries Trump aborted Air Force One in Abu Dhabi on Friday Giving his signature fist pump before heading back home having shifted Washington's focus from Israel to the wealthy Gulf States Yeah, you said give those Nvidia chips to the Arabs What are they gonna do with them? I guess cuz they have cheap power. Is that the idea? I think so They'll be training the models in the desert might work training the models in the desert

Rand Paul on Tariffs, Trade Deficit Fallacy

Senator Rand Paul criticizes Trump's tariffs as "taxes" that will lead to higher consumer prices at retailers like Walmart. Paul argues that trade deficits are an "artificial accounting" fallacy and that voluntary trade is always mutually beneficial. The hosts dispute Paul's assessment, noting that direct trade with Chinese platforms like Temu often results in the importation of "junk" that does not build American wealth.

rand paul· tariffs· trade deficit· walmart· china· inflation· middle class

2:39:40 So I have a couple of clips here about tariffs, which I do want to get out of the way. ABC will kick it off with Senator Rand Paul who is—this is his shining moment everybody! This is all unconstitutional, that's no good we can't have this he's not a team player right now yeah which has never been a team player No but we could've used him I think now just you know hey I just want this the taxes on tips to go away, man. Make one of these millennials be quiet. Okay Senator, let me turn to tariffs that the president also announced a temporary reduction to those big China tariffs although there's still 30% tariffs on goods coming in from China as he negotiates tries to negotiate a new deal. A Walmart has warned that this will result in higher prices what what's your assessment?

2:40:38 Well, tariffs are taxes. No! I really despise this line. Tariffs are taxes? No they're not John, are tariffs taxes? No they're tariffs. They're tariffs exactly otherwise why do you have a different name yes but oh well tariffs or taxes Well, tariffs are taxes and when you put a tax on a business it's always passed through as a cost. So there will be higher prices and I think this is what's important to know people talk about oh this is America versus China The US doesn't trade with China. You trade with Walmart or you trade with Target, or you trade with Amazon Americans go in and buy a product now it might come from China but think about it this way think of the entire trade which I was all TVs A million people go to Walmart they all buy TV They like the quality they like the price that happened to come from China But then you took your draw circle around China and the USA oh my goodness It's a trade deficit we buy all of our TVs from over there

2:41:40 But each individual transaction, each individual who bought a TV was happy. But how can you draw circle around 1 million happy people and say they all got ripped off? So there's an economic fallacy here. And the fallacy is that trade deficits actually mean anything. They're in artificial accounting. The only trade that means anything is the individual who buys something. That's the only real trade. by very definition if it's voluntary, is mutually beneficial or the trade doesn't occur. This is the worst economic analysis I've ever heard! Wow! This is typical of the economics of an ophthalmologist So yeah let me...I want to play something that President Trump said just recently specifically talking about our trade deficit with Canada take a listen

2:42:26 Why are we subsidizing Canada $200 billion a year or whatever the number might be? It's a very substantial number. And it's hard for the American taxpayer to say, gee whiz we love doing that So uh...the actual trade deficit with Canada is actually a little less than- er quite a bit less than 100 billion but even so is a trade deficit subsidizing Canada He should say yes, because if tariffs are taxes then you have to call the opposite subsidies. That would be fair if he said that. No they're really not related at all what happens if we trade with another country because they have less expensive goods is we become richer there's all kinds of things that happens that extra money but you are richer because you've gotten a product and lower cost this is the other fallacy they put forward they say oh the middle class is being hollowed out

2:43:18 If you look at the middle class over 70 years, the middle class is about the same as it was 70 year ago. The one segment of our economy that has grown is those making over $100,000 a year and that has tripled so most of the middle class if the middle class shrunk at all actually went to an upper-class if you say upper-class begins in 100 thousand dollars So most this is just fallacy We have gotten rich, rich, rich off of trade. All Americans and it is lifting all boats and we are richer than we've ever been in any time in our history but its not easy to convince people that because there's short term problems where you have inflation like during the last four years where the middle class actually did lose purchasing power and did get poor but if you look at it long term it's not trade causing this The thing that makes us poorer If anything would be inflation And then general rise of prices from inflation

2:44:09 Well, he's right there. Yes it and I think the inflation he's talking about is money creation but come on Rand Paul! Come on why is he doing this? And he's wrong and his premise is also somewhat wrong because a lot of it says we don't trade with the public doesn't trade with China. Yes, we do. Of course anyone with a Timu or Xian accounts and there's millions and millions that people in the public were trading directly with China? Yeah, does end a lot of this stuff you even buy from Amazon's direct coming directly from China where trade the public is trading directly with China.

CHAPTER 32 / 36 Discussion

Scott Bessent on Inflation, Walmart Price Pressure

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent appeared on "Meet the Press" to discuss the economic impact of tariffs and tax cuts. He pushed back against Kristen Welker's claims that Walmart is raising prices, explaining that the company's earnings call warnings were "worst-case scenarios" for legal transparency. Bessent emphasized that falling gasoline prices under the Trump administration act as a direct tax cut for consumers.

scott bessent· kristen welker· federal reserve· walmart· gas prices· earnings call

2:44:48 And the stuff you get is a lot of it is pure junk. It's not making anybody richer, it's making people poorer! You get junk in your house and then you got to buy another copy. Yeah. Now we need to move to Scott Besant and he joined your pal Kristen Welker She's your pal, right? Manhans. Yeah. Oh no, Kristen Welker! Yes yes I always mix her up with yeah...I don't know why you can mix her up with anybody. Meet the press about the Federal Reserve How far Mr Secretary is the President is the administration willing to go to prevent CEOs from increasing prices Well I think what we are hearing here is that people are saying tax increases or inflationary

2:45:39 that when I was testifying before Congress last week, one of the congressmen said that and I said well Congressman if taxes are inflationary let's cut taxes. So let's get this tax bill done bring down taxes which according to this line of thinking should be disinflationary But the Federal Reserve has said that tariffs are inflationary just to be very clear. You said you called Walmart is that what CEOs can expect that you that the president that other members of the administration will apply pressure To try to prevent them from passing on these prices I didn't apply any pressure they

2:46:19 Doug and I have a very good relationship, so I just wanted to hear it from him rather than second or third hand from the press. And again as i said this is all from their earnings call and on an earnings call you have to give the worst case scenario. Kristen go back to what she said The Federal Reserve is not saying that tariffs will cause inflation they're saying they're not sure and that there in wait-and-see mode That's interesting I've not heard the investor call, so it isn't necessarily true that Walmart said we got to raise prices. They said we may have to raise prices depending on the market situation

2:46:55 See how that gets twisted around? And by the way... Well, the news media picked it up and ran it as though is a slogan. Yeah! When in fact Walmart's never gonna promote that they used to always have the lowering prices back to whatever they're not going to go out and promote hey we raised our prices come visit us. Come shop! And Kristen why didn't Kristen say as a gay man do you hate working for that homophobe Donald Trump I'm waiting for that question. Let's start right there with Moody's downgrading the nation's credit rating and they do cite the debt, i want to read you a little bit of what moody says quote if the 2017 tax cuts and jobs act is extended which is our base case it will add around four trillion dollars to the deficit

2:47:43 Over the next decade several Republicans, Mr. Secretary are citing similar concerns Does the president's tax bill need to do more? Wait a minute so that's 400 billion a year No wait yes over 10 years 4 trillion A trillion is 1,000 billion Yeah it would be 400 a year yeah That's what we sent Ukraine What is that? They always do it. I don't like it when they do that. I always like to do this. This another yes, this is another trick I've heard a lot of times we haven't discussed it We haven't brought it up but its common

2:48:22 Yes, it's gonna cost the country two trillion dollars over ten years. Yeah two trillion dollars over five years Two trillion dollars or a hundred years? I mean they did what's it gonna cost and by the way over 10 years 400 billion will be you know like 100 billion today With inflation secretary are citing similar concerns Does the president's tax bill need to do more to address the nation's debt and deficit? Well Kristen first first of all I think that Moody's is a lagging indicator. I think that's what everyone thinks of credit agencies Larry Summers, and I don't agree on everything but he said that when they downgraded the u.s.. In 2008

2:49:06 and 11. So it's a lagging indicator, and just like Sean Duffy said with our air traffic control system we didn't get here in the past 100 days It is the Biden administration and this spending that we have seen over the past four years We inherited 6.7% deficit to GDP when we weren't in a recession, not in the war and we are determined to bring the spending down and grow the economy. Yeah but Mr Secretary you're talking all kinds of numbers and complicated things what about Walmart rising prices? Let me ask you about Walmart this big news from Walmart it says it will start... Get back to what people care about mr secretary Raising prices on its consumers Mr Secretary as

2:49:50 early as this month due to the tariffs. Now, President Trump out with a very stern warning on social media saying Walmart quote- Eat the tariffs adding the company made far more than expected last year is the president asking American companies to be less profitable? I was on the phone with Doug McMillan, the CEO of Walmart yesterday and Walmart is in fact they are going to the as you described it eat some of the tariffs that just as they did in fact, they are going to the as you described it eat some of the tariffs that

2:50:36 He just swallowed his tongue or something. Just as they did in 18, 19 and 20 the other thing though that we are seeing that Doug passed along to me with their consumer the single most important thing is the gasoline price and gasoline prices have collapsed under President Trump so we are seeing that The other thing that will happen That is a direct tax cut for consumers then the transportation costs are also a big input. So let's see what happens What you were describing was Walmart's earnings call. The other thing that companies have to do, they have to give the worst case scenario so that they're not sued So I think overall we are seeing a decline in services inflation and We saw inflation come down for the first time in four years Who advises this guy on his communication skills? He should say

2:51:41 You've made up a, you made a storm in a teacup which may not even exist because gas prices are going down. They have to say that on an earnings call because they have to be transparent and they have to warn in case they screw something else up, they can blame it on Trump It's...it's..they did not say their raising prices Miss Newsperson That's irritating Yeah, he's not the best at this. I mean Rubio is the guy but they won't bring anybody like Rubio on again They're not gonna bring on these guys who call it call out to post You're full of crap. It's no good. He's no good We can't have that we can't have Rubio Imagine all the people who could do that. Oh yeah, that'd be fun

Tip of the Day, Tabasco Scorpion Pepper Sauce

John Dvorak presents a "Tip of the Day" featuring Tabasco's Scorpion Pepper Sauce. Found in an obscure Mexican mercado, the sauce is significantly hotter than standard Tabasco and features a black label. Dvorak recommends it for "hot pepper loving friends," noting it is manufactured in Louisiana using one of the world's hottest pepper varieties.

3:07:41 Yeah. Bingit.io people, bingit.io learn how to search on bingit.io it is awesome and now it's time for a brand new fresh funky tasty tip of the day! And we're gonna get back to the hot sauce category. Yes. Now Mackelhaney I think is the company that family. The old man I think recently died and it was taken over probably a few years back by the kids, and they've been bringing out other products than Tabasco.

3:08:23 Tabasco sauce, which is one of the great sauces ever. It's a great sauce when it comes to... It's a great sauce again you don't need a lot of it now but they've been bringing all these experimental ones out and I've been keeping track of most of them and I do use the green sauce that they have once in awhile as a very tasty sauce not quite as good as Melinda's fire roasted but it's good So I run into one, I've never seen this one before. I only found it in an obscure Mexican of all places a Mexican Mercado, a Mexican store. Mercado? A mercado, big one. Big mercado

3:08:59 But this has got to be, this is some serious... In fact they call it seriously extra hot. You haven't done this one before as well? How come I feel that i've heard of this one too? You you've heard other hot sauce guarantee look at up! You got binga dot io So this a tip of the day thats better than the previous tip of the day No all tips are good It's just a different tip. The reason is because it comes in the regular Tabasco sauce bottle, so it's got a black label so you'd think it might be Tabasco sauce. Just seriously... It's made with scorpion peppers!

3:09:36 One of the hottest peppers in the world. I don't know how they, where they make it or if they manufacture it at the same plant that makes Tabasco, It's hard to say and I don't know if its aged but this is some seriously hot and it's called seriously hot. Its the kind of thing you want to buy, obscure by the way, it's hard to find At least I couldn't, I just ran into once ever in the wild And for your hot pepper loving friends, and you've got one or two or if you're not yourself. I would recommend checking out a bottle of this is not expensive it comes in this small little Tabasco sauce bottle looks like Tabasco sauce but its not. That's my tip. Where is it manufactured? Louisiana! And they do with actual scorpion pepper?!

3:10:20 Yeah, it looks to be 100% scorpion pepper. And that is scorpion pepper is from grinding up scorpions? Yeah they make scorpion... no! It's a pepper called scorpion pepper I'm sorry, I don't know like oh I got a lot of scorpions here maybe I can make some pepper out of them They're not good for much else. Looks like a Scotch bonnet of some sort Oh and its got a little tail on it I have never seen a pepper, a scorpion pepper actually seen one for sale anywhere. But I'm assuming they grow them somewhere and these are the kind of new things that they've been developing this super hot peppers. I am not sure it's good for the market but...

3:11:06 Well, I'm very like this. Yes. I'm willing to try it I'm a little bit of a pepper guy a little bit of hot sauce guy not too much But I'm looking forward to it and you ladies and gentlemen have just enjoyed another special edition of John C Dvorak's tip of the day And sometimes Created by Dana Burnetti. That's right, everybody! And that's why you stick around because you know the tip of the day is well worth it even if it's a repeat and still good. And stop complaining cause otherwise John's gonna rage quit at the tip of the day and then what will we do?

James Comey 8647 Post, Pheromone Moth Traps

The show concludes with a deeper look at James Comey's deleted "8647" seashell post, which some interpret as a coded threat against the president. In a final tangent, Dvorak discusses the necessity of fresh pheromone sticky pads to protect Persian and Turkish rugs from moth attacks. The hosts sign off with a preview of the "Airline Pilot Guy" podcast.

3:11:47 You don't want to ruin it. Even Brunetti has been complaining about the tip of the day, twice at least! He's a complainer he's a Hollywood guy that's what they do.

Dvorak We return on Thursday with more of your media deconstruction we're happy to do it as a public service remember us at noagenda donations dot com until Thursday adios fo-fos ahooey hooey and such You've never seen anything like it. Do you have Persian rugs? Yeah, I have a couple. Do you fly around on them? Well there's one reason I need that. I found a moth attack on my Persian rugs. Pheromone Moth Attractant Stickypads

3:13:16 F-H-E-T-R M-O-N-E. Okay, why would we want to have pheromone moth sticky pads? So here's the deal... The key to success with these items is they have to be fresh! Fresh?! Persian rice are a really good price nowadays, by the way. Best price? But do you have them on the floor or in your... Yeah they're on the floor I get them all over the place we have everybody in the family has a bunch of these either Turkish or Persian rice Interesting That's something that I did not know about the Dvorak plant I have them every day So uh and their not expensive anymore Do you fly around on them? It's definitely K

3:14:00 The media is feeding the slop it doesn't matter what topics discussed quality entertainment and information you can trust That's being planned or at least discussed, you know, we're not gonna allow people to buy this stuff Send the guy some value boost them with some stats Bitcoin is a scarcity asset. I mean, it's just a fact geopolitical national down to the local clan I wish everyone in Toronto and Mayor Chow nothing but the best. CBP wishes you nothing but the best.

3:14:36 We could talk about Toronto for hours. The city has fallen, I mean harder than the Twin Towers. One percent of a Bitcoin that's a million sats accumulating to cash back That's another hack not your crypto not your keys Not your crypto not your key CBP says that's a fact the facts. This is a new malinformation CBP members are increasing throughout the nation voting in yourself interest I agree voting is one of the last thing that will change and that what counts. That's just me That's just me former FBI director James Comey is in hot water after a social media post is causing quite a bit of trouble for former FBI Director, James Comey may soon

3:15:34 be getting a visit from Secret Service agents who want to know more about a now deleted social media post. Comey posted a photo showing a collection of seashells spelling out the numbers 8647. 8647. Merriam-Webster dictionary defining the term 86, to eject dismiss or remove someone. Everybody knows what the term 86 means. 86 means to get rid of something. 86 informally means to get rid of. He knew exactly what that meant, a child knows what that meant if you're the FBI director and you don't know what that meant That meant assassination. Several officials from the Trump administration say this is a call for violence against the president It's used in bars and restaurants to strike items from menus, but others use it as slang for murder It is being used right now and left-wing circles and activist circles look his life literally was in danger last year so it is a problem

3:16:30 The real question is whether this post is really significant of anything. And do you think he did the seashells himself on the beach? This isn't even beach season right now. Comey deleted the post and made another saying, I didn't realize some folks associate those numbers with violence and never occurred to me but I oppose violence of any kind so I took the post down. Adios, mofo. Dvorak dot org slash N-A. That was better than a bear fighting a monkey!
