About this episode

HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. removed the COVID-19 vaccine for healthy children and pregnant women from the CDC recommended immunization schedule. Flanked by NIH Director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya and FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty McCary, Kennedy cited a lack of clinical data for repeat boosters in these demographics. The move bypasses the traditional Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices and may allow private insurers to stop covering the shots under Affordable Care Act mandates.

Onosato secured his fifth sumo tournament victory in Japan, breaking a four-year streak of Mongolian dominance held by wrestlers like Hoshoryu and Terunofuji. In Texas, YouTuber Max Velocity tracked a severe hailstorm that devastated property in Fredericksburg, leading to a surge in insurance adjuster solicitations. Dr. Kirk Milhoan appeared on CBS Austin to present peer-reviewed research linking mRNA products to heart inflammation, while Dr. Richard Besser of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation defended maternal vaccination on PBS. Meanwhile, President Trump suggested Canada could become the 51st U.S. state as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reaffirmed Canadian sovereignty.

Scott Pelley delivered a pointed commencement speech that some analysts view as an attempt to sabotage the Paramount Global sale. In Nashville, the K-Love Awards showcased a digital sickness where fans viewed For King & Country through phone screens rather than making eye contact. Sir Paul Linkens received a knighthood for his 22nd birthday as the show celebrated the Value for Value model with a propaganda supercut of legacy media vaccine messaging.

Onosato Wins Sumo Championship, Japanese Wrestler Breaks Mongolian Streak

Onosato secured his fifth sumo tournament victory, marking a rare win for a Japanese-born wrestler after a four-year period of Mongolian dominance. The victory likely accelerates his promotion to the rank of Ozeki, though the hosts jokingly refer to the rank as Yakuza. Current top competitors include Mongolians Hoshoryu and Terunofuji, as well as emerging talent from Ukraine.

00:00 Oh my god, this is terrific. We have a winner! And we're broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region Number 6.

Hey...we have a winner we have a new champion

00:44 And for the first time in a long time, he's Japanese! Hold on. Uh-huh? A new champion?! Yes... Come on man this is your beat Sumo? Yes! He's not, he won this I think is his fifth tournament. He has won so many times Onosato that they're going to boost him to Yakuza the fastest in history But it was always Mongolians who won No no there have been a couple of Mongolians recently but Japanese are more traditionally the winners because there are more of them Well i'm just looking at AP reports you're telling me AP is wrong

01:31 Yeah. According to AP, the big news is he's Japanese because for years it says... doesn't say how many years? For years the winner has been Mongolia. Yeah, four years. Four years to be exact. Well there you go! Four years and nailed it! There's been a number of disbigance because Taranufuji and now this other guy Hoshrorororo is the name I can't pronounce. Those guys. And they're both Mongolians. Now there are two Ukrainian guys and one of them is really good Keep them out of the sport

Texas Hailstorm Damage, Max Velocity Weather Coverage

A severe hailstorm in the Texas Hill Country produced golf-ball-sized hail that damaged property and outdoor furniture in Fredericksburg. Local residents monitored the storm via YouTuber Max Velocity before experiencing significant property damage. Following the event, numerous roofing contractors and insurance adjusters immediately targeted the area, utilizing localized contact lists to solicit repair business from homeowners.

02:08 Keep them out. Big fat white guys! It's about time! Get those big fat white guys out of the sport, man that's no good So wow we had forgotten how powerful the rain sticks really are We got a rain stick ricochet here in Texas after we shook it for the Dutch. Yeah, Mimi was telling me about it she's following the news on her favorite weather guy Max Velocity. Max Velocity. Plug him again! Plug him again! She begs me Really? He is a dweeb. Have you seen this guy? So we come home from Nashville

02:49 was it Monday, Monday afternoon. And we knew there were some storms brewing you know so that's okay and so we come home and open the suitcases unpacked and then said let's go get some dinners now it's about 530. We go to the Chinese place which I discovered only a couple months ago been here for 14 years. We independent business! Okay? Um...and then we're in the restaurant. Everybody's except mine. Everybody's phone goes off with an emergency warning and it's kind of interesting to see it all happen or to hear it all happen in the restaurant. So you're at a restaurant, a bunch of phones went off everybody's phone beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep. And Tina is like should we get it to go? I'm like no. It's fine look out the window not even raining yet so we finish our food take our time have my Sapporo beer We go home

03:48 And Phoebe is already looking a little like, hmm. So we put the Thunder shirt on her and she just sits there but she's looking out the back and she's just staring... ...and there's this big ominous cloud- Oh yeah at this point Mimi texts me! Mimi never texts me for anything In fact I think if something happened to you she wouldn't text me She sent me an email Ehh something wrong with John And she's like, Storm coming your way! Max Velocity. He's always right! Gotta get to work on another book. Too much velocity dot com So I turn on the YouTubes and I see Max Velocity and wow this is pretty big And then it starts

04:38 Golf ball sized hail just pelting the house. I mean we have a like a small, what i call it? A cocktail pool you can basically stand everywhere and drink It's like meteorites coming down to this thing and they're all...and we have a lot of glass in the back so they're all bouncing off the tiles and against the windows Phoebe was just sitting there like I got my Thunder shirt on I'm good Tina was nervous It was really... What's she nervous about? The windows breaking. Oh yeah, it could happen. Did you see that one hailstorm that was the size of a soccer ball way up north in Texas? That was the size of a soccer ball! So then what uh... You know after the hailstorm we have these lounges, the chaise lounges outside by the pool The fabric is completely penetrated

05:32 with like, winkle hook tears. Just holes in it just BAM! BAM! All these hailstones just ripped right through the fabric That's some max velocity right there. So that's some violence? Yes Now The next day... Did you go outside to experience it put a hard hat on and see what was like? Hell no! I don't have a hard hat It would- John It was like No He was like And of course we have a metal roof which just makes... You don't have a hard hat? I do not, you know. I need a hard hat. I think this should be part of my- We should have two in the go bag just in case. You should have a couple hard hats that have the New Agenda sticker right on them. Yes yes I'm looking for those So the next morning it starts at 6am text messages phone calls guys at the door! Do you know what they were? A Bible salesman No

06:34 Roof damage. We've got you I'm sure yeah, I see all the roof You have a dent in your gutter well roofed and because And this is it's insurance stuff So they all know that, they all know the insurance will pay for it. Now never mind that if I say go oh let me get a $30,000 roof job, I'll probably get kicked off my insurance then we did not have any damage yeah one gutter had a little dent in if I'm okay but it was amazing they were rolling up one after another You know, just right up there. Hey! I'm here you could have damage and it's hitting the eye. That looks amazing. That's interesting yeah there'd be an infrastructure for that because you do have that type of weather does happen in Texas a lot yep and so you would develop an infrastructure for just that purpose and it's pretty cool

07:25 And they must have voter rolls or something because how do they get my and they're all texting from 830 which is our local area code. Now I have a 650 number so it's not like they were just spamming 630 numbers They had me. They know I live here, they have my number and they just started spamming me You should've done some research and found out how they had your number? I was so annoyed to be honest by everybody's show Oh you're missing out because this is valuable information Yeah It may be something we could use to market the show Oh yeah! I'm sure you can buy a list Conspiracy theorists Well I know that I can buy a list but it sounds like there are some pretty good lists out there Well this was a pretty good list

08:07 So anyway, I learned my lesson once. It did rain in Holland by the way so the rain stick did work but man! The ricochet effect was just too crazy Yeah i was against it We literally had storm chasers going up and down Main Street of Fredericksburg I've never seen that before Yeah, we're here in Fredericksburg and we're on Main Street and it's coming down pretty bad. And Max Velocity is there. Max Velocity is checking everything out. Well, meep-meep-meep! We have another touchdown. I've got a tornado warning. Meep-meep-meep! Oh! I don't think anything actually touched down but... It does freak people out. Yeah sure does. Freaks people out. I mean the hailstorm was one thing but having your roof ripped off is another thing. Yeah yeah

CHAPTER 03 / 44 Discussion

Vegas Meetup Reflections, Vaccine Injury Claims

A meeting with a sound mixer for Lyle Lovett and a technical director for Cirque du Soleil prompted a discussion regarding the long-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on Las Vegas entertainment. The conversation shifted to personal anecdotes regarding vaccine mandates in the industry. One individual claimed to know seven people who died following vaccination, specifically highlighting the differences between mRNA products and the Johnson & Johnson version.

lyle lovett· cirque du soleil· johnson & johnson· vaccine injury· las vegas· meetup

08:57 And so last night, we got an email from Steve and Stephanie. Said hey we're coming through Texas I'm doing a show with Lyle and would love to take you guys out to dinner. Who's Steve and Stephanie? Exactly! We met them. Wow well I walked right into that one. Yeah so he said hey Jack Steakhouse. Wanted to go to the steak house? Jack Steakhouse Steve and Stephanie, we met them at the Vegas Super Spreader event back in I think it was 2021. Oh! During... remember it was you know everything was locked down We were all Yeah, I remember that. We're all outside no one had a mask on No one got sick And this particular meetup is where we learned from the ventilation trainers The vent machine trainers

09:52 who have a facility in Vegas, we learned from them that oh man you know we're killing people this protocol they're doing on people is wrong. So this is how valuable the NOAA gender producers are and going to meetups but there were a lot of interesting people at that meetup Steve is a sound mixer front-of-house for bands and he's currently touring with Lyle Lovett And Stephanie for 27 years, I think or 23 years has been the head chief technical director for Cirque du Soleil. These people have interesting jobs

10:29 And so she... That's a pretty cool gig. Oh yeah, and she does all the cir- you call it circ? You know what I'm saying? Circ. Circ! Yes. She's gotten pretty lewd by the way recently. Should ask her about that. I don't think she cares. She loves her job and she loves her truck. Well no but I should ask why is it, is the audience demanding more lewd content? Without asking her without asking her I'd say probably And with the knowledge that Vegas shows are down at least 25% in attendance. She says, shows are closing... So you have to have more of a draw to bring people in. Vegas is down! Vegas is not doing well, at least it's all sports now. All the entertainment is sports and Formula One ruins it for everybody Of course it's great for hotels but you know it's a street race so there are restaurants that have been in business for 40 years

11:25 And, you know so people can't get to their restaurant. The streets all torn up it takes and you know two weeks for them to clean everything up they're going out of business So thanks Europeans for ruining everything but that's not why I bring them up Steve says, you know, I'm still so mad at myself because I needed to go to work and I got the Vax. He said, I've got the J&J. I say, whew! Well that's if you're going to have one that's the one you want because at least it's not an mRNA product. And Stephanie didn't get one but she had to fill out a million forms and wear 15 masks in a hijab... Get tested every week. Exactly. But he says, but I can tell you seven people

12:21 Not just someone I know, but people I know personally have died from this vax. Seven! I found that to be a disturbing number We get a lot of notes from people that have nothing... their whole family has got something or other going on that's not good No And this rolls right into what I would say is probably the main topic of the day on the M5M because they live and die by pharmaceutical advertising. And, uh...I know you have a couple clips— I'll just shard us—shard us? I'll shard— Yeah, shard us! I'd like to be sharded today! Let me shard us off with a little announcement

CHAPTER 05 / 44 Discussion

Heart Inflammation Risks, CBS Austin Reports Vaccine Dangers

Dr. Kirk Milhoan appeared on a CBS Austin segment to discuss a compilation of peer-reviewed studies linking mRNA vaccines to heart inflammation. The research, published in the International Journal of Cardiovascular Research and Innovation, suggests that risks of myocarditis in young males may be higher than previously reported. This local reporting contrasted with national coverage that largely omitted mentions of heart-related side effects.

myocarditis· kirk milhoan· cbs austin· mrna· heart inflammation· pediatric cardiology

18:37 a long report showing that it was causing miscarriages in pregnant women and hurting the fetus. It was just a dangerous thing to give to pregnant women, that was not brought up. Myocarditis in young people was never brought up in any of these reports that I can tell. It is interesting... They leave it out! Well because you played CBS if you don't mind, I'll just interject your three by three, CBS Austin strangely enough, filed a report about just this. Multiple research reports show that heart inflammation risks tied to the vaccines may be far greater and maybe even more dangerous than previously reported, particularly among young men. Joining us now to discuss this is Independent Medical Alliance Senior Fellow of Pediatric Cardiology Dr. Kurt

19:43 Kirk Milhom, good morning to you doctor. Welcome to the national news desk great to have ya. Good morning thanks for having me on this new study about the safety of COVID mRNA vaccines was published in The International Journal of Cardiovascular Research and Innovation as I understand it tell us about the scope of this research and really your top findings from it So it's a compilation of studies that really have been out there since 2021. We saw signal in the vaccine product causing problems, especially in the young adults, especially young males that was causing heart inflammation and so what we have done is compiled all those different peer-reviewed journals articles and data and put them in one place easily accessible with 42 pages on 341 references

20:31 are concerns that this is a real issue and these vaccines do little good for healthy children and young adults. I think everything that the networks did was to obfuscate this news, this was the groundbreaking news Yeah obviously And someone's getting fired. I'm surprised that was reported anyway, what you just play was not local? Yes local yeah it was local in Texas but i don't think very few markets had it. Austin though at the national desk mind you the national news desk It is pretty screwy to be in Austin so let's back let's go to the next one which is the old original spin-off of NBC ABC

CHAPTER 06 / 44 Discussion

Media Reaction to Vaccine Schedule Changes, Measles Outbreak Comparison

National news outlets including ABC and NBC reported that public health officials were "blindsided" by the removal of COVID-19 vaccines from the recommended schedule. Critics argued the move removes healthcare choices for families and could lead to confusion. Some reports linked the policy change to recent measles outbreaks in Nebraska and other states, suggesting a broader trend of declining vaccination rates.

rachel scott· abc news· american academy of pediatrics· measles· cdc· vaccine skepticism

21:15 Rachel Scott. has been removed from the CDC recommended immunization schedule. Kennedy, a noted vaccine skeptic has questioned whether the COVID-19 vaccine was successful in saving millions of lives Today he was joined by other top health officials. There's no evidence healthy kids need it today and most countries have stopped recommending it for children But the move was quickly questioned by public health officials accusing the Trump administration of bypassing the traditional independent review process including recommendations from medical experts We were kind of blindsided by this announcement Wait a minute, wasn't that guy literally from The Independent Review who is on CBS Austin?

22:20 No, he was an independent guy. He wasn't... The administration? They're talking about this little group that's within CDC Yeah yeah yeah That supposedly is supposed to run everything past them and they've been trying to get rid of most of them are you know big pharma guys Yes, shills! Shills! A bypassing the traditional independent review process including recommendations from medical experts We were kind of blindsided by this announcement we were not consulted about this Dr. Sean O'Leary with the American Academy of Pediatrics said and the leading OBGYN association with this dire warning. It's very clear that COVID-19 infection during pregnancy can be catastrophic. Tonight, the CDC website still listing the COVID vaccine as recommended for everyone six months and older including pregnant women doctors saying the new recommendations are unclear and remove a health care choice for families. This comes after the deadly measles outbreak across the country most of the cases involving children not vaccinated.

23:16 How does it remove a healthcare choice? I was going to wait until the clip was done. This is the big thing, they're making it so... and I can tell you why but I will do that with clips later But it is just saying it's not recommended doesn't remove it from anybody's health care choice at all. No, it's a lie! Well there's an issue behind this. I think my by the way we have dueling clips then because my PBS material coming up might Yeah, it's fine. Address it and I'm gonna let you go first Well, I don't know maybe you should go first well Let's finish the clips women doctors saying the new recommendations are unclear and remove a health care choice for families This comes after the deadly measles outbreak across the country involving children not vaccinated today Nebraska now that 32nd state to report a measles case a rare breakthrough case in a child who was vaccinated

24:14 So far more than 1,000 people have been infected with the virus since the start of this year. Three unvaccinated people including two children have died. That is amazing they twist it goes straight from the COVID no longer COVID vaccine no longer recommended to measles does anything change with them? The MMR I don't believe so It's unbelievable. It's front-running, they're front running because they know it's coming. Ooh you using a stock market term? I like it yeah it's front running well in fact it is relevant to the stock market because if your front running it you know that pharma stocks gonna go down! So here we go with the King Viper at the moment at least NBC

CHAPTER 07 / 44 Discussion

Insurance Coverage Implications, Affordable Care Act Vaccine Mandates

The removal of the COVID-19 vaccine from the CDC's recommended list may allow insurance companies to stop covering the cost of the shots. Under the Affordable Care Act, insurers are only required to cover vaccines on the official recommended schedule at no cost to the patient. Estimates suggest out-of-pocket costs could reach $57 for children and $137 for adults if coverage is dropped.

affordable care act· insurance coverage· cdc· gail king· pharmaceutical advertising

25:02 Tonight, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr says the CDC is ending its COVID vaccine recommendation for healthy children and healthy pregnant women And Thompson joins us now because how the decision was made is raising some questions Let's say there's a lot of confusion tonight in a 54-second video secretary kennedy says The vaccine has been removed because of a lack of clinical data to support the booster strategy in healthy children. But apparently, the decision did not go through the typical CDC review process by outside advisors which would then make a recommendation to the CDC director. Right now there is no director so what does all this mean? The Affordable Care Act says insurance has to cover CDC recommended vaccines

25:48 It is unclear tonight if people will have to pay out of their own pockets for their kids' COVID shots. The CDC's own website does not match what Secretary Kennedy said today, and we've reached out to HHS but have yet to hear back Lester. Okay Ann thank you And there it is because everybody knows that the insurance companies they don't want to cover anything they don't have to cover And by law, they have to cover anything that is in the recommended vaccine schedule for children. And that's what it is. The pharma companies are seeing their bottom line declining because the insurance companies will like no one has come out and said it yet but they will likely no longer covered and that was the bottom line for every single report

26:39 Exhibit A, CBS Dr. John LePook. What could this decision do when it comes to access or even insurance coverage? Access! I don't have access... Yes you do. You have access. Maybe not being for free but you have access Yeah, well so that's the big thing. If the CDC is not recommending it then insurance coverage could go away right now it's covered in most cases we look to see what the price difference would be for kids it would be about $57 maybe according to the CDC schedule and maybe about 137 dollars for adults So thats nothing if you're trying to get a vaccine and you don't have a ton of money. So if you reverse engineer that

27:25 That number sounds interesting until you reverse engineer it. It means that the insurance companies are paying over $100 a shot for every man, child and woman on their policy plan which is costing everybody money for a useless shot let's be honest about it But its the pharma guys and gals who advertise on these programs And so that's where we have to make it. Which will be even more apparent when you hear the great clips from PBS! Hold on, that's not nothing... Is that proper grammar? That's nothing? It doesn't sound right somehow. Sounds like a double negative something people say.

28:09 and you don't have a ton of money. And COVID is not nothing. You're trying to get a vaccine, you have a ton of money? 57 bucks! Okay If you're trying to get a vaccine and you don't have a ton of money. You don't have a ton of money. COVID's nothing either. COVID is still something. I just got my booster. We'll wait for this...I got my booster. Last week. Yeah, oh Gail Gail, extra points for Gail. She gets a little something in her check today. COVID's not nothing either. COVID is still something I just got my booster last week because i am over the age of 65 and I don't see the downside to getting the booster right? And that's what you want to discuss with me. Wow! There's the clip of the day

CHAPTER 08 / 44 Discussion

Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, PBS Funding and Executive Salaries

Dr. Richard Besser, CEO of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, appeared on PBS to defend COVID-19 vaccinations despite the foundation being a major funder of the network. Financial disclosures reveal the foundation holds over $13 billion in assets, including significant investments in the stock market and private equity. Besser’s annual salary exceeds $1 million, leading to questions regarding the independence of public health experts funded by pharmaceutical-linked endowments.

28:46 I don't see the downside. One more time, because I am over the age of 65 and I don't see the downside to getting the booster. And I think that's what you want to discuss in an open forum. It is not just getting COVID-19. You can say kids generally do pretty well but there are issues with long COVID other issues, complications. Kids are not immune from having bad outcomes so I'd like to see the open transparent discussion. Yes well let's go to your PBS clips and remind me i have some NPR beauts as well Okay, so PBS you know which is all turns out that they're getting a lot of money too And they have to do a disclaimer by bringing some guy on and I while we're running these clips Maybe you can run the 1099 this guy's rich Besser. Oh and he's the head of the Robert Woods Foundation it's a private foundation yet look at the tech

29:44 The 990 PF which is the private foundation. What's what's the name of the outfit Robert Woods? Something Foundation, that's very named in the clip. Oh okay I'm at the ready with my 999th good to go because this is this operation is It's unbelievable. So let's play the clip one The World Health Organization said today that a new COVID variant is causing an uptick in cases around the world. It says, it says COVID Vax 1 What am I doing? Am i doing something wrong? No no no! I'm just saying this kicker and the other reports left to that there's a new COVID out there That's the reason you need the shot You scared me! You scared me! I thought I was playing the clips out of order No...No..I know your paranoid about it but we're good to go

30:35 By the way, this report of the new COVID variant India Africa China it's everywhere. The reports were just so poorly voiced I didn't clip them every country that has crappy news voiceovers is horrible is talking about the new COVID. The World Health Organization said today that a new COVID variant is causing an uptick in cases around the world and it's been detected in some states here in the US The COVID vaccine is expected to provide good protection against the variant. But the news comes after Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F Kennedy Jr., announced yesterday that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention would drop the COVID vaccines from its list of recommended shots for pregnant women and children. That decision and other recent changes under Kennedy are leading to major worries and unease among medical and public health groups. Ali Rogin has more

31:30 Oh, unease. I'm not...I'm uneasy about it So we have this set up and they- I think PBS- of course this goes on forever because it's a PBS thing Yeah But they got a better setup because first they scare you with the new COVID That's right! Yeah new COVID New COVID And uh Unlike the old COVID. And somehow, for some unknown reason that didn't do... The booster will... Yeah doesn't doesn't do anything? Or I don't know does the booster help? It's gonna kick asses no it's gonna do something! Oh oh It's gonna kick ass, it just is going to be yours. That's the problem So here comes Ali with her report Omna many experts are calling the move unprecedented Typically the CDC makes recommendations about who should be vaccinated and when based on advice from an advisory committee of experts

32:21 But it's unclear if they were consulted before the announcement. Joining us to discuss the potential impact of this announcement and wider concerns from public health experts is Dr Richard Besser, former acting director of the CDC and now CEO of The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. And we should note- Robert Wood Johnson. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation is a funder of the NewsHour. Dr Besser- Okay stop I have my 990s Now there This is how its often done You have the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and they get money from, I'm looking at it right now, from the Robert Wood Johnson Health Network. So the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation which of course is you know there's only three million dollars in annual monies but they get their money from the Robert Wood Johnson Health Network how much do you think they do annually?

33:21 Well, I looked up the 990 PF which is the foundation's 990. Which is 1400 pages. Let's just go straight to the bottom line they get their money from the Robert Wood Johnson Health Network whose 2023...they haven't filed yet...they're 2023 gross receipts 106 million dollars So there's your pharma money. It's nothing if you look at the 990 PF of the Robert Woods Johnson Foundation, the 990PF, the 1400 page thing this operation has 13 billion dollars in the bank

34:08 Wait a minute, let me see. Oh yeah I see it! Yeah it's right there $13,832,302,736. Hello Podcaster! Yes? If you're on that and by the end of the year... Wait wait stop! 13 billion dollars?! Yeah Of which 2.3 billion is invested in the stock market This is crazy. No, they have all their investments listed Yeah yeah that's all us invest in the stock market the other 10 billion plus Sequoia capital? Oh yeah pretty much holding up Sequoia capital and every fund that Sequoia has ever done by the way Richard Bessert his annual salary for this small little nonprofit

35:03 1.1 million dollars There are five employees that have over a million dollars in salaries Yes, it's great and the total salary outlay get take a guess on that one Well I have it you had to scrounge around but they've documented too big 44 million I think something 90 okay? I'm only looking at half of it 90 million dollars in salaries. Well he's the guy, but he is the guy you can trust! He is independent... This is... What other numbers I have here? Oh yeah acting CDO former acting CDC director Yeah oh less than one year he was in he was bumped in there and then kicked out In-N-Out no kicked out it's like okay got my creds I know everybody I know where their bodies are buried

35:51 If you look at him on LinkedIn, he's a he-him. Bunch of posts about how poor George Floyd was murdered... Ukrainian flag? Well, they don't let you put flags on LinkedIn. And where's his origin story from? What spooky operation hospital is very famous in back east? Let me guess that would be the... Oh now I'm blanking on the name. The guys from the COVID numbers! Come on. You're getting there. Yeah and the ones who are- Johns Hopkins! There ya go.

36:31 So he's a Johns Hopkins guy, which is... Was he at Event 201 by any chance? I don't know. I didn't get that deep into it but I got a bunch of stuff. Their grants for 2023 were $543 million. Ah beautiful from this 13 billion, the administrative cost is 97. 97 million. It goes on and on. This is a nightmare and of course then they help fund PBS so there are... beholding without mentioning any of what I just told you, what you just dug up. Without mentioning any of that PBS is so with their... they're beholden to this guy and his organization so they put him on and let him say what he wants but wait the kind of stuff we're getting from the public radio in public broadcasting system But wait! The troll room immediately He's a Jew there you go there's proof

37:29 I don't think he is. I don't think so either, but it's hilarious. He's got everything he needs there yeah this is horrible and they disclaim well we get money from him Right up they did that they had to put that in there But that's and they've glossed it over and they ran right through it without mentioning any of these other details This is one of the ten biggest The Gates Foundation did Matt is around 60. Yeah billion These guys are all big these eyes are being these guys are whether not be as big as them, but they're big yeah And this and they sit on that money It all started in the 30s and some guy

38:07 The guy's name, Young whatever his name is. He started the organization and he got it really going by donating his 16 million shares of Johnson & Johnson stock. And then I started looking into this and these others... This is all tax-free sheltered. Sure they give away 500 billion. They are 500 million, I'm sorry. 500 million of the 13 billion that is sitting there tax-free growing and growing and growing in this guy dumped his 16

38:46 million shares into the company without having to pay any tech capital gains. This whole thing is ridiculous, that the government should be taxing these operations and you get to ride on the jet and you get a corporate credit card it's a beautiful lifestyle You got a housing allowance? Yeah! You get $1 million dollars a year in salary, you're right, all of the expenses God knows what you spend It's ridiculous. This is largesse, but PBS is going to play it because they're a sponsor. Okay here we go. Dr Richard Besser former acting director of the CDC and now CEO of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and we should note that the Robert Wood Johnson foundation is a funder of The News Hour. Dr Besser thank you so much for being here I want to take these two categories in turn first

CHAPTER 09 / 44 Discussion

Dr. Richard Besser Defends Maternal Vaccination on PBS

Dr. Richard Besser argued on PBS that removing COVID-19 vaccines from the recommended schedule denies access to low-income families. He emphasized that maternal vaccination provides antibodies to infants who are too young for their own shots. Besser expressed concern that the lack of a federal recommendation would end the "Vaccines for Children" program's requirement to provide the shots for free.

39:39 pregnant women. There are many public health experts who are expressing concern that they should absolutely still be getting the vaccine to protect not just themselves, but also their infants. What are the concerns there? Yeah well thanks for having me on Allie it's very concerning you know I'm a general pediatrician and practiced for more than 30 years And one of the wonderful things about vaccinations in pregnant women is it not only protects them, but it provides protective factors to their babies who often can't get vaccinated against many infectious diseases during that first year of life. So those factors will not be coming across to the babies and moms who are now going to be denied access to this vaccine.

40:28 Factually, he's full of crap. He's full of crap and what is this denied access? Well that's just hyperbole. It's a blatant lie! Hyperbole at best but the kids were on the schedule for six months so don't give me this first year they can't have anything that's not true because it was on the schedule for six months. But they get it through their mom big time. Yeah unless its poison... Vaccinate pregnant women is like a bad idea Yes, you can't even have sushi when you're pregnant. So I'm told so we have the situation where the guy says now they're denied at there Nobody's denying anybody anything no this guy is a liar For saying that yes And he's on PBS and does she call him out? Does she in her whole report of it? I don't get to play Don't play the whole damn thing but I got a lot of it

41:26 I'll tell you this, she never once brings up the Johnson report from the Congress. She doesn't bring up to stuff that you played from CBS Austin's report where the documents have come out showing this is bad for kids and bad for pregnant women none of this has ever discussed so this is the most disingenuous reporting you can imagine and this again I will mention it say it again this is PBS PBS, everybody. PBS. The American College of OBGYN this is the body of experts who are in who are obstetricians and gynecologists raise concerns about this recommendation and a big concern for me is that the announcement didn't provide the thought behind it. It didn't provide the data. And that's what we're losing is that ability to really understand the decision

42:19 Now I want to talk specifically about children over the age of six months. FDA Commissioner McCary said there's no evidence healthy kids need it and there are some countries that have stopped administering it routinely, including Australia, the UK as well as the World Health Organization so what are the specific risks among that group? Yeah, thankfully the impact of COVID has been going down over the years. The talking about deaths in the thousands per week that's no longer the conversation but it doesn't mean that COVID isn't still causing problems and it does cause problems for children

43:05 One of the things that I like to see each year is the advisory committee, that expert body you were talking about to the CDC. They wrestle with these questions they look and see well how many children are getting infected? Is the vaccine effective at preventing long COVID that we know so many people are suffering from No! What about a child who lives in the family where there's someone who has an immune problem, who is at greater risk? Would vaccinating that child help protect others in that family. This is so insane People have long COVID are typically people who were vaccinated to start with this guy...is...he's evil

43:50 You still there? Yeah. I'm waiting for you to get us into clip four. I mean, flabbergasted by this guy and the fact that PBS doesn't say anything about the myocarditis issues at all they say nothing about the Johnson report at all they don't bring any question...they don't question anything this guy has to say especially when he said They're going to be denied access, which is a blatant lie. And they say nothing at all. This is PBS reading from a script... But that's pharma talking points! You're right- Why does anybody support PBS? I'm going to tell you in a minute after we play your next clip

44:32 Okay, I think this is the last clip right? It is. Yes here we go. Yeah okay well it has a nice wrap We didn't get to hear any of those conversations because this was the decision that just came down from from the secretary A secretary who told Congress just within the past couple weeks that we should not take health advice from him and Told Congress during his confirmation hearing that he would not be messing with the childhood vaccination schedule. It's very concerning Insurance plans have to cover recommended vaccines. So if these vaccines are no longer recommended for these groups, how do you anticipate health insurance companies are going to respond? Yeah it goes even beyond that the Affordable Care Act says that if its a recommended vaccine and has to be provided at no cost to people with health insurance

45:20 But one of the things that's wonderful about our childhood vaccination system in the United States is if there is a recommended vaccination, we have... There's a program called the Vaccines for Children Program. And that requires Congress to pay for vaccinations for all children regardless of whether they have insurance. So a child who is from a lower income family is going to get vaccinated just as easily as someone whose family has more income Without that recommendation, there will not be those vaccines provided for free for lower income children. So there won't be that choice. Exactly! Exactly now no one in these reports because it's the conclusion of every single doctor on every network

CHAPTER 10 / 44 Discussion

NPR Coverage of Pregnant People, Vaccine Efficacy Debate

NPR's coverage of the vaccine schedule change utilized the term "pregnant people" rather than women, drawing criticism for its editorial stance. The network reported that while healthy kids are at low risk, parents may still want to immunize them to prevent "mild disease" and transmission to vulnerable relatives. Critics argue these reports ignore data from meta-studies regarding the limited efficacy and potential harms of the boosters.

npr· pregnant people· long covid· myocarditis· brainwashing

46:11 Then you won't have access because your insurance won't cover it. Well, isn't that an insurance company problem? Isn't that an issue we should take up with the insurance companies no instead It's RFK juniors fault We get it we understand who's paying the bills around here now when he played the jingle Elitist Voices of America. This is NPR or PBS So you ask why do people support them? Why do people listen to them I Went to see my hair girl in Austin Tuesday, but I am still loyal to her over 15 years Do I'm loyal to her and not just because I like how she cuts my hair because although she is definitely liberal

46:57 She's not someone who goes nuts and she has a very clear head about it, and it is very difficult for her sometimes to not enter into conversation with her clients because they will not be her clients anymore. So she can always vent with me I think she enjoys me coming as much as I enjoy going to see her. She said first of all All of her clients still believe, honest to God that Elon Musk is a Nazi. The Nazi salute is still real he has secret meetings he's in Nazi groups Secret meetings! He is a Nazi 2 Despite the recent rhetoric from the president about Putin total total puppet for Putin Russia gate was real

47:48 He works for Putin, not for the American people. And here comes the next one she said all my clients are NPR junkies and I'll probably add PBS to that they believe everything in PR says they listen religiously non-stop continuously to NPR and they are certain that the defunding Trump is doing part of suppressing the truth. You understand? Yeah, I can understand that and believe they're sincere in their beliefs. So even though we play these clips and people go... I think it's important that we continue to play these because... Oh, I don't think there's any issue there! No, I just want to say

48:40 To be understood you must first understand. And if people don't, you can just say these people are nut jobs and crazy they may be but you have to understand the brainwashing that is taking place on them And it's so easy to do this. I think these are just probably good people, but the brainwashing is intense so it's important that we continue to listen to the brainwashing So we can at least understand where they're coming from and not just write them off as dead That's all I'm saying. So here is NPR, new COVID-19. Kennedy says that there was no evidence that repeated boosters help healthy kids — kids with no risk factors and FDA Commissioner McCary agreed. Here is what he said There is no evidence healthy kids need it today and most countries have stopped recommending it for children

49:33 And you know, while that might be true in this country, this change still is raising a lot of concerns among independent experts. OK, we'll say more about that if you would what are those concerns? Well one big one is that the decision appears to have been made without going through the normal process of getting input from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's independent advisors. They've been mulling over this very question and are scheduled to meet next month to review all the evidence and make recommendations about this And beyond that, outside experts are worried what this means for the health and safety of pregnant people kids and their families. Pregnant people? Remember they're not women they're pregnant people! Okay so let me ask you about... Pregnant People?! That is disgusting! That's NPR for you. Pregnant- This guy. Pregnant People. Okay so let me ask you about that do healthy pregnant women and kids still need regular COVID boosters and what if they want them? They need em'!

50:26 Well, one big question is will insurance companies still pay for the shots and will people be able to afford it if they don't? Because if the vaccines aren't recommended, insurance companies may very well not pay for them. You know most healthy older kids are at low risk for serious complications from COVID And most parents haven't been getting their kids vaccinated, but some parents still want to immunize their kids. You know to protect them against even mild disease and long COVID and from bringing the virus home through vulnerable family members like you know grandma and grandpa. Pregnant women are at very high risk of serious complications from the virus

51:02 And that's not all. Their newborn babies are in great danger of getting really sick from COVID, and they're too young to get the shots themselves? The only way to protect them is to vaccinate their moms while they're pregnant so the babies can get antibodies in the womb." Thus said... ...little brother... Mengele! Come on man there is no evidence this shot works at all There's no evidence... That's the other thing, the shot doesn't work. There is no evidence that it does anything positive other than the actual evidence as compiled in this meta-study compiled of peer reviewed reports which CBS Austin miraculously reported on! That is the evidence that it doesn't do much for you In fact they can do harm and we were lied to And these people I'm sorry... They're continuing to lie Shave their heads and walk them down the street naked

CHAPTER 11 / 44 Discussion

Leana Wen Critiques MAHA Report, Chemicals as Calories Claim

Dr. Leana Wen discussed the "Make Our Children Healthy Again" (MAHA) report on CNN, agreeing with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on the dangers of ultra-processed foods. However, she drew scrutiny for claiming that 60% to 70% of the calories Americans consume are "chemicals," a phrasing that conflates caloric energy with chemical additives. Wen also warned that Kennedy’s skepticism toward childhood immunizations remains a point of major contention in the medical community.

leana wen· rfk jr· maha· ultra-processed foods· cnn· wolf blitzer

51:54 No, you should star and feather him and walk him down the street naked. It'd be better So before I go to the podcast portion of our deconstruction... ...I just have to play a couple clips here from Brolf because he brought in Lena Nguyen who's back on the scene Who was a liar during COVID Trump administration officials led by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., claim to have figured out why so many American children are overweight, sick and don't behave They make their case in what's called the MAHA report Make Our Children Healthy Again And it points to things like ultra-processed foods environmental chemicals

52:40 and warns that kids are over-medicating while calling for a new look at vaccines. On CNN last night, Secretary Kennedy explained it like this in an interview with Caitlin Collins. Yeah here we go. This exercise was really a diagnostic exercise And it's important because this has never happened in the federal government. We have all the agencies recognizing we have a chronic disease crisis, this was just the diagnostics. 60 days from now when we put out the prescription I'm not quite sure what he meant by that. I have no idea. But now let's bring in Lena Wynn. Joining us now, Dr. Lena Wynn she is the author of Lifelines a doctors journey in the fight for public health. Dr. Wynne as always thank you so much for joining us what do you think the key takeaways are from this report and what do you expect to see in some 60 days?

53:36 Well, I think that right now this report is a bit of a mixed bag because on the one hand the public health establishment the medical community is in agreement with Robert F. Kennedy Jr about the dangers of ultra processed food it's a real problem that 60 to 70 percent of the calories that Americans consume are these chemicals these additives and substances are not good for health, that are linked with obesity, diabetes, heart disease, premature mortality and so forth. So I think it would be a good thing if there were policy prescriptions that aim to make healthy food... Hold on! We have to back it up did she say 60% of the calories?

54:13 Oh, good catch. Let's listen again. Are these chemicals these additives and substances that are not- Back it up further. No I think it's going okay. She says 60% of the calories are chemicals. Public health establishment the medical community is in agreement with Robert F Kennedy Jr about the dangers of ultra processed food It's a real problem that sixty to seventy percent of the calories that Americans consume are these chemicals, these additives and substances Wow, wow I Hadn't even caught that holy moly Chemicals are not calories 60% of the calories are these chemicals Can that even be no can chemicals be calories? Yes some chemicals could but it would be

55:03 I mean, yeah. It's ridiculous what she did on his face that if you got 1% of the... because calories is what... Is your power! Your food! Calories are what will burn and how they determine calories is like do you have this little caloric bomb it's called? and you put something in it, in an oxygen atmosphere and then you burn it. And there's a temperature that goes up or down by so much is the caloric value. It's a process that's kind of fake but... To have 60% of your calories from chemicals means you'd have to have a, you know like a pot load. It has to be all chemicals you're eating! Well that may also be true regardless... You're worried about the COVID shot affordability and this is your knowledge? That we're just eating chemicals?!

55:56 Where's your priorities, lady? like whole grains or fruits and vegetables. But on the other hand, there are also parts of the report that once again so doubt on the safety and effectiveness of childhood immunizations I think it's good for Kennedy to be talking about pesticides and toxins and eliminating those things from the air in the water but he seems to also imply that

56:39 childhood immunizations which are life-saving and prevent kids from getting ill and dying, that somehow they're part of these toxins too. And I think it's for that reason that many of us in medical public health are very skeptical of what those policy prescriptions are and whether some of them are going to be rehashing of what Kennedy has already expressed as his anti vaccine beliefs Anti-vaccine beliefs. Are you gonna hem and haw through the whole clips? Because that'll just stop them then if you're all that's all you're gonna do You do it all the time to me not like you do, you have a special way of doing it The problem is I'll tell you what the problem was

CHAPTER 12 / 44 Discussion

Scientific Expertise vs. Religion, Autism Study Timeline

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told CNN that "trusting experts" is a feature of religion rather than science, advocating instead for replicable, gold-standard research. He announced plans to commission a study by March to identify the causes of autism, a timeline Dr. Leana Wen called unrealistic. Wen asserted that autism is often determined before birth, suggesting environmental exposures would need to be studied in utero over several years.

rfk jr· caitlin collins· autism· scientific method· in utero

57:22 The problem is I'm looking her up on wiki and reading the background, and i'm right on the mic. You're just going oh this she's horrible uh okay all right apology accepted I get it. I also Dr. Nguyen want to get your reaction to something else that Secretary Kennedy told CNN's Caitlin Collins last night about his approach to trusting scientific experts watch and listen to this Trusting the experts is not a feature of science. It's not a feature of democracy, it's a feature of religion and totalitarianism What we should do is trust the science And we are going to do this science and the science is gonna be replicable and it's gonna be gold standard People shouldn't take medical advice

58:08 I'm somebody who is not a physician, but they should and they should also be skeptical about any medical advice They need to do their own research ah There's your talking point do your own you can't do your own research. That's no good What he said now understand what he's saying what he's saying is we're gonna get a real study out there We want to give you the truth in about six months. I think that's what he's saying Dr.. Wynn. What do you think of that message? Well, I'm confused by that message. And I bet that many people are confused about this too. Look, I'm a clinician. I talk to my colleagues who are physicians and nurses all the time and yes we do our own research. It's not about you doing your research lady! Yes we look at scientific articles and we parse through them. We look at recommendations

58:54 But the thing is, there are lots of different clinical topics. It's not reasonable to expect that even clinicians and scientists look at medical literature all the time. What? Hedging hedging backpedaling a little I didn't see those reports. And parse through the literature ourselves on every single topic We need the news media to do that for us! Wolf you're the one who tells us what's in those reports This is why we looked at guidelines There are medical organizations that... This is fantastic. We can't read all the research, we just read the summary, the guidelines from the approved organizations. All the time? Like Robert Woods Johnson Foundation. And parse through the literature ourselves on every single topic.

59:39 This is the reason why we looked at guidelines. There are medical organizations that synthesize these data, by the way we look up to CDC or least throughout history we have looked up to the CDC and FDA to compile these studies for us and make recommendations. We have always throughout history depended on our federal agencies as the gold standard for expertise for information, for unbiased scientific data. Yeah as long as you run by the right people! Exactly Kennedy literally said the gold standard so when it's a gold standard from a different person in charge of the CDC you're not gonna believe it and so it's very confusing and quite distressing actually to hear the person who heads up these agencies

1:00:22 to whom these agencies report now say that expertise cannot be trusted. I'm confused because it leaves people wondering, well what sources of information can I trust? Good point. Robert Woodson? He woke up! Oh, good point. Last clip short. Secretary Kennedy also plans to commission a study to find the cause of autism and he says we should do that by March you think that's a realistic timeline? No No, because we have already had decades of studies looking at autism that have so far found that there is a complex interplay between genetics and environmental factors. And if anything these studies point to the fact that autism is determined before a child is born What? This is new! It's determined before a child is born?!

1:01:17 Who proved that? Was she just making it up as she goes along or somebody said that, where did that come from? So it happens before the child is born when you're sticking needles into the mother. Just a thought! The fact that autism is determined before a child is born and so if you're looking at environmental exposure, you would be looking in utero exposure. And yeah exactly studies to be done we would require tracking pregnant women through their pregnancy to the early years of a child's life I mean so we're talking years of study and if Kennedy is now saying that were going to have results within months

CHAPTER 13 / 44 Discussion

Gary Brekka Podcast, Pharmaceutical Advertising Regulations

In an interview on Gary Brekka's podcast, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. discussed the legal challenges of banning direct-to-consumer pharmaceutical advertising due to First Amendment protections. He argued that taxpayers effectively subsidize these ads because the government pays for the resulting drug prescriptions through federal agencies. The segment highlights the extensive side effects listed in drug commercials, such as those for the bone drug Evenity.

gary brekka· rfk jr· pharmaceutical ads· first amendment· evenity· side effects

1:01:56 then one wonders if there are already predetermined conclusions and these so-called studies are just window dressing. Thank you very much, beautiful! So now we go to the podcast because this is what you will not hear on the mainstream This is Gary Brekka's podcast Gary Brekka a very famous dietician I believe He's he's the one that I think advised Alex Jones on his latest health journey with some astounding results And this is all about pharmaceutical advertising. Won't hear that on the mainstream media, of course! That's a difficult part for an agency like yours to get into the private sector and effectuate the private sector that way unless there was some kind of executive order that disallowed pharma from advertising directly to consumers which do you see a day where that could be a possibility? There was a bad Supreme Court case recently

1:02:49 pharmaceutical advertising with freedom of speech and give it, endowed it with a limited First Amendment protection. There's still things that we can do and we're working on that so we think that we're gonna be able to do something but I'm not going to talk more about that okay And the issue here that people understand because a lot of the people who support us are for freedom of speech. They're, you know absolutely but this is a very different issue because first of all the pharmaceutical companies are advertising products that are being paid for by the taxpayer and they advertise all these drugs on television A person's gonna get the bill from that drug is my agency and the taxpayers can end up paying for it Hey

1:03:32 Hey, wait a minute. That doesn't make any sense! The other thing about pharmaceutical ads is the company gets tax deduction on them but we're paying for the ads and we're paying for the product Right And so you know I mean when you think about that it's just mind-numbing We're paying for the ads and we're paying from the products Just like my agency gets the bill Then we are paying all of diseases that product is causing Yeah And so it's different than any other kind of product and is regulated differently. And those, you know, those regulations that a drug company does not have carte blanche from FDA to advertise any product they want and there are conditions that we can place on it. Those are some of the things that we're looking at.

1:04:21 Yeah, there it is. Oh yeah you can advertise you just can't advertise that Well here's the one of the ads I'm gonna start doing this again adding it back to the show now You got ads The side effec- no, not the ads. Oh! The side effects. The disclaimers yes Now this is a side effect wait This is the side effect for eventy I think's the name of it It's a bone product you're supposed to take and make your bones stronger Boner products She said the evenity she's taking builds new bones Builds new bones So yeah we still bite babysit and brunch with the ladies. A venity can increase risk of heart attack, stroke or death from a heart problem tell your doctor if you have had a heart attack or stroke do not take a venity if you have low blood calcium or are allergic to it as serious events have occurred with a venity signs include rash hive swelling of the face or throat which may cause difficulty in swallowing or breathing muscle spasms or cramps numbness for tingling tell your doctor about severe jawbone problems is they've been reported with a vanity report hip groin or thigh pain

1:05:21 Unusual thigh bone fractures have occurred with amenity. Beautiful! Yum! I missed the anal leakage in that, too bad. Weird thigh bone fractures? How does that... how do you get that?! It just snaps. What!? Meanwhile also not reported, I have no clips The Cleveland Clinic has just reported Do we take any, do we think they're any good Cleveland Clinic? Are they any good? I don't know anything about them offhand. Well... They probably do a lot of gender reassignment surgery. A study from the world-renowned Cleveland Clinic has confirmed that flu vaccines slash overall life expectancy

COVID-19 Origins, Hospital Capacity Media Narratives

A retrospective look at the early 2020 pandemic response questions the validity of media reports showing overwhelmed hospitals. Observations noted that the USNS Liberty hospital ship and the Javits Center field hospital in New York went largely unused despite dire predictions. The discussion suggests that public fear was amplified by televised images of ambulances that did not match the reality on the ground at those specific locations.

joe rogan· michael osterholm· javits center· usns liberty· covid-19 hoax

1:06:07 Slash! Oh, that's no good. You can't say that Study who found that people who received the seasonal shots have a 26.9% higher chance of getting the flu compared to the unvaccinated That's the best part I know that that's a fact Yeah well now we're not gonna see that and I think... you're not gonna see that on CBS No, no, but man oh man oh man oh man And this is what Steve and Stephanie were saying. This was kind of interesting because remember I went on Rogan the first time two weeks before the lockdown? In fact, what's his face who was that Google... You went on before Rogan got the COVID? Oh no it was two weeks but remember there were some people on the plane when he flew out to LA with Gucci masks on

1:07:01 I don't remember much. But Osterholm, he was on the show after me and i saw him in the hallway and he went on Rogan to make everybody afraid of how we're all gonna die from this COVID thing so they had seen me on Rogan they found no agenda because they were freaking out He said that we were freaking out for two weeks And then we started listening to you guys and like oh alright makes a little bit more sense now So that's what happens when you listen to M5M. I'm actually writing an essay for my sub-stat column on the origins of our attitude

1:07:41 And I have to go back, because I still remember when the thing first broke out. We followed it very carefully and you actually asked me if you think the whole thing's a hoax at the very beginning? Yeah. And we started with the Washington State person but what happened immediately was when they started doing their report... What got my attention right off the bat was they started doing the reports on the network news of all the ambulances and all, and they had a hospital in New York. And there's all these ambulances backed up and they were coming in up and down the street and they were bringing it huge truck trailers so that could keep the dead corpses in there if you remember that? Yep

1:08:19 And a guy on YouTube, it wasn't up for long. I remember the guy on YouTube! The guy on YouTube a few hours later is in front of that same hospital there's nothing going on and he talks about it and this guy says you know this is a YouTuber and he said where's everybody? Where are all these ambulances? There's nothing going on here And that was like, whoa this is pretty dubious. And it was obvious that he had seen the reports on NBC and ABC and CBS and then they went to the same hospital there's nothing going on nobody paying much attention anything there wasn't ambulances lined up it was all fake yeah and then if you remember shortly thereafter Trump sent a Liberty ship or whatever of hospital shipped in New York not one person used it ever

1:09:04 Ever. Javits Center converted to a field hospital, I don't think that was used either Yeah not used So right there is what...that's when you get if you know those like those two things that happened Right away Well also there was the anonymous nurse And she was saying, you know people coming in and they just have a flu but they're so freaked out. They've got elevated heart rate that they're freaking out because of what they've been told and then putting them on vents that was the thing! You put him on event and that was it I think there's maybe two cases where someone de-intubated themselves by ripping this tube out leaving the hospital and living a happy life

1:09:50 So it's, I mean we kind of come across as cavalier talking about it but that is the fact. It's horrible. Yeah, and one thing led to another there should be pitchforks in the street over this well you know not everybody came to the same conclusion because they weren't paying attention they were going along with your people that go to that hairdresser but I saw the pain in Steve's eyes last night it says it was the J&J so um uh that's my only saving great he was like I-I was afraid I was going to die And there's lots of people, people listening right now who think... I'm hopeful that the dosages were also different. There was probably a lot of saline being injected. We're hopeful of that. That if nothing has happened to you now, you're probably going to be okay but man and the turbo cancers all of this stuff is just ignored! It's ignored. It's still ignored

Joe Scarborough Defends Biden, Mark Halperin's Political Shift

MSNBC host Joe Scarborough faced criticism for his past insistence that President Biden was "intellectually and analytically" at his peak. Following Biden's public stumbles, Scarborough has been accused of deploying "defend, deny, and deflect" tactics. Meanwhile, former political analyst Mark Halperin is reportedly attempting a career comeback via podcasting, moving toward a more moderate stance after being marginalized by the Democratic establishment.

joe scarborough· joe biden· mark halperin· msnbc· cognitive decline

1:10:49 So, just... By PBS and NPR as the reports that we've played. Everybody! And the mainstream media and The New York Times and The Washington Post they all nobody has really wanted to address this No Because they have to admit that they were part of a scam so on that note just a reminder about how untruthful dishonest M5M is This is Joe Scarborough of the Joe and Mika Morning Joe show on MSNBC during the crisis of confidence over President Biden. And he told us, he told us to record it so I did. Start your tape right now because i'm about to tell you the truth an F-you if you can't handle the truth this version of Biden

1:11:43 Intellectually, analytically is the best Biden ever. Not a close second and I've known him for years. The Brzezinski's have known him for 50 years if it weren't the truth i wouldn't say it Okay so if it wasn't the truth I wouldn't say it and now when he gets called out on it He deploys defend deny and deflect. Yeah, well more than that. I can show you the RNC clip reels there were plenty of days in public when he was not the best Biden ever and of course shortly after... He stumbled and bumbled around Mark! I mean yeah he certainly did Donald Trump did other politicians did There it is! Trump! But it's actually the same case as a lot of times when I've gone in to talk to Donald Trump

1:12:45 We're going to Donald Trump and I've heard the media narrative around Donald Trump. And certainly, I've been very critical of Donald Trump and when I leave, I have a better understanding just like Jeffrey Goldberg did a couple of weeks ago. A better understanding where Donald Trump is mentally if Donald Trump is losing it like people have said through the years or not. So again... Am I going to look at a clip that's gone viral and pay more attention to that than two-and-a-half, three hours ahead with guy one on one going around the world? No. I'm just not going to are those or some of the clips bad yeah they certainly They certainly are bad i can understand why people would see that without The context Can't even admit it

1:13:35 At least Jake Tapper says, I'm humbled. I'm humbled by it. Liar! Liar! Pants on fire! It's just a lie...it's all lies and then so here's another one this was my favorite i'm sure thought i had the that last clip you played i believe that was Halperin in his podcast. I think so, yes. Yeah it was Halperin and because he's got his podcasts that he's bringing out... He is doing a About Face, he's trying to get back you know Halperin was with John Heilman the bald guy yeah your buddy well i know him let's put it that way oh yeah now we can order for dinner so he's not a friend okay uh now uh help but i know him and

1:14:26 I know the guy. He's gone crazy! But he stayed with the left and Halperin who was marginalized because he was a me too'd by the group, because he slapped some woman on the ass or something who knows what he did? And he's been trying to get back into good graces but he can't with the Democrats so he's very slowly becoming going totally moderate yeah trying make amends in some odd way. That was part of it. But it's on a podcast and this is the beauty of deconstructing media. Well, that's where all the smart money... Smart money? What money?! The smart no-money!

Emmanuel Macron Slap Video, Domestic Violence Humor

French President Emmanuel Macron was filmed appearing to take a hand to the face from his wife, Brigitte, while disembarking a plane in Vietnam. The French media characterized the incident as "play fighting," a description the hosts find suspicious. This led to a tangent about personal experiences with partners exhibiting violent behavior and the psychological traits associated with borderline personality disorder.

emmanuel macron· brigitte macron· vietnam· play fighting· borderline personality disorder

1:15:05 So here's another thing, we all saw it. We all saw exactly what happened but nah don't believe your lying eyes. And the buzz over what French President Emmanuel Macron called joking with my wife video shows Macron taking hands to the face as he is about to get off a plane in Vietnam yesterday moments later we see those hands belong to his wife Brigitte The scene prompted one French newspaper asked slap or squabble? Macron says couple was play fighting Play fight. When's the last time you were play fighting with your wife and you play slapped her in the face? Or she, worse, she play slapped you! Never! Never of course not what is this that is literally how abused people speak or abusers even abusers my second wife choked me the first time She came to say oh no I was talking about girlfriend it all happens all the time What?!

1:16:04 What? While you're sleeping?! So we had... No! My wife and I have a mutual friend who's a comedian, whose mom Was like that, like your previous wife. She had this personality disorder Borderline personality disorder yeah Probably and she would go after people with...she'd grab it out of the blue she'd snap and grab a knife out of the kitchen to try to stab you It's just fun! I'm just playing around man Yeah just playing around Just fucking round Woah woah

1:16:42 I think of a number of women that i actually know who are not in the carnal sense but just know them. Have they had dinner at your house? Some of them... None recently, but beside the point is that I wouldn't trust going to bed with them because always get this feeling stabby in your sleep You should get this sense, I don't know. This girl is gonna stab me in my sleep. So all of the... I'll be sleeping and she's gonna have a... so somethings gonna get on her mind she's going to go into kitchen grab a knife and stab me! This is..I believe there are people out there that would do that? Yes

1:17:26 Well, these days it's a trend. We discussed it a couple of shows ago Hey would you please shoot me in the head while I'm sleeping? Sure! Sure no problem Yeah sure...I'll be glad to shoot you in the head What?! So here we have all the networks, all the public broadcasters. All obfuscating, all lying literal lies about accessibility and denying access by the way not a single one of these outfits interviewed anyone from the insurance company hey here's a journalistic question Are you going to not pay for people who want the COVID shot when it's off the schedule? It's a simple question. I'm sure you can get an insurance company executive to talk about it, yeah! Yeah and that one report that we played at... well I don't know how many ten clips from different sources and not one journalist quote-unquote journalists had done that is simple footwork which just requires a phone call so you have that example multiple examples you have

CHAPTER 17 / 44 Discussion

Scott Pelley Commencement Speech, Paramount Global Sale

CBS News anchor Scott Pelley delivered a commencement speech warning that the rule of law and journalism are under attack. Some analysts suggest Pelley's recent public criticisms of CBS management are an attempt to "queer the deal" regarding Shari Redstone's efforts to sell Paramount Global. The term "queering the deal" is used here in the traditional sense of sabotaging a business merger or acquisition.

1:18:28 Chuck Scarborough denying, defending deflecting. You have Jake Tapper can't admit that he excoriated people for even suggesting that Biden was in cognitive decline now writing a book about it was cover up we know anything And we have the certainly the French media just playing around man. He didn't slap him, it's just playing around and so what does this all lead up to? Scott Pelly's commencement speech But in this moment This moment This morning

1:19:05 Our sacred rule of law is under attack. Journalism is under attack, universities are under attack, freedom of speech is under attack and insidious fear is reaching through our schools our businesses our homes and into our private thoughts provided by you The fear to speak in America. In England! Power can rewrite history with grotesque, false narratives They can make criminals heroes and heroes criminals Uh-huh Power can change the definition of the words we use to describe reality Or vaccines Diversity

1:20:09 is now described as illegal. Equity... What? ...is to be shunned. Inclusion is a dirty word! Get off the stage, white man! This is an old playbook my friends. Oh Hitler! There's nothing new in this. My friends thank you, pollute those kids minds on their way out of school good job Scott Pelley You know I'm surprised this guy still working there working for CBS he has come out with two editorials on 60 minutes what first when the guy quits One of the producers quits and he excoriates the company. Then he recently excoriated the company again, and he's doing what he can to do it the way I see it... To queer the deal!

1:20:57 To sell Paramount, CBS the whole thing that's just Sherry Redstone wants to get rid of. You know she wants to move the company away from her and take it...get rid of it! And he is queering the deal He's screwing it up for her for Sherry Redstone and she lets him work there She hasn't just come in and said hey you're out Is the queering you reference anything related to LGBTQ? Queer I don't think the term queering the deal is understood anymore. I agree with you and i think it's a perfect use but that definition... Well everybody must know what querying the deal means No, no, no. It's boomer talk You don't think so? Only boomers like us get it Okay well queering the deal means you go out of your way to screw up a merger and acquisition or you do something you know like create a poison pill or you bring out some facts that screw up the possibility

NPR Lawsuit Against Government, Editorial Independence

NPR President Katherine Maher discussed a lawsuit filed by the network to protect its First Amendment rights against government interference. The lawsuit argues that executive orders threatening to pull federal funding based on "bias" constitute illegal retaliation. Maher emphasized a "firewall" between management and the newsroom, though critics point out that federal funding accounts for only about 1% of NPR's total budget.

npr· katherine maher· first amendment· federal funding· antonin scalia

1:21:52 of something going through you try, you submarine your screw up. You do whatever can in the easy term for it is queering well he wants to be very careful could wake up with a horse head in his bed I think Sherry Redstone isn't no joke as a lot of red stone is a kick-ass person yeah we could be dead this guy shows up dead So over to the media, of course NPR is now taking President Trump to court. When NPR is in the news we report on ourselves as we would any other organization so we invaded NPR president with bias lies and deceit

1:22:33 When NPR is in the news, we report on ourselves as we would any other organization. So... We invited NPR president and CEO Catherine Marr to walk downstairs from her office. Didn't I already play this clip? No, I don't think so. These are my clips! No, I mean didn't I already play this clip like a month ago? Is this new? I think it's new. I don't think so. Yeah, I think so From NPR consider this I think it's new. No, I don't think so. Well let's play a plan You can look it up on Bing dot IO and you'll see who's played

1:23:10 Catherine, welcome. Lovely to be here The lawsuit cites NPR's First Amendment right quote To be free from government attempts to control private speech as well As retaliation aimed at punishing and chilling protected speech end quote Can you explain in plain English what that means? What the thrust of this lawsuit is so You played a PBS interview I think. No, I think it was the NPR interview this is where she springs up to 1%. Well let's listen. NPR is a private organization and we have the right as a media organization to make our own editorial choices about what it is that we cover and how we cover it and what we found in the executive order was that the order

1:23:57 It discusses the need to end federal funding based on the accusation that we are not presenting fair, unbiased news. So from our perspective what that means is that the order implies that NPR needs to change its editorial posture if we are to receive federal funding It's very clear from the Public Broadcasting Act that public media is meant to be an independent source of information, and in fact it is protected in the statute that established the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. We believe this is infringement on NPR's First Amendment rights but also infringement on those rights

1:24:38 of our station, both their editorial First Amendment rights and their rights to associate with NPR if they are unable to use their funds to choose to air our programming. Yeah this is different I don't think that you had these clips No it's the same clip Really? This one too, then? So the argument as I understand what you're saying is that NPR like any other news organization in the United States is free to choose what it covers how it covers at what language we use to do so. That's correct and even though we receive federal funding we are still protected by those same rights There's a line that jumped out at me that I marked in the lawsuit and I'll quote it

1:25:17 It is not always obvious when the government has acted with a retaliatory purpose in violation of the First Amendment, but this wolf comes as a wolf. Antonin Scalia – it's a great line! The late conservative Supreme Court Justice Scalia – what does it mean here? In this instance, it is evident from the President's executive order, as well as statements released by the White House and prior statements by the President that we are being punished for our editorial choices I think that's an interesting way of looking at the executive order. But, I can see where that would be their only defense...

1:25:54 What about PBS? Because the executive order targeted funding to NPR and PBS. Why is PBS not suing alongside NPR? Well, PBS is a separate organization we know from their statement when the executive order came out that they similarly find this order to be unlawful Do you worry about further retaliation? We're witnessing with Harvard what happens when an institution decides to stand up and fight back We definitely thought about what the consequences might be when we move forward to file this suit. And I should say that we are not choosing to do this out of politics, we are choosing to do this as a matter of necessity and principle. All of our rights that we enjoy in this democracy flow from the First Amendment – freedom of speech, association, freedom of the press – when we see those rights infringed upon, we have an obligation to challenge them, and that's what's at stake here

1:26:46 Retaliation is something we all think about, and yet the principle of what we do and how we do it—we have to defend our editorial integrity and the integrity of those rights. From people listening, will NPR sound any different as this plays out? Please. No I don't believe so. No we've still got the same Neumann mics the same dead sound and the same dead voices People listening will NPR sound any different as this plays out no i don't believe so The entire point of going forward with this litigation is to protect our editorial independence

1:27:22 As you started this segment by saying there is a firewall between the newsroom and management such as myself I believe that the way that we do our work in the way that we are successful The firewall In journalism is supposed to be advertising And it's not management, but she is all about the advertising. It's her job to bring in the advertisement underwriting conflated what she's done is she She's redefined management as advertising. That's correct, but it is now I'll say this is probably new This is the same script But its newer because they didn't bring in for money this lawsuit is from a couple days ago Yeah And so and they didn't bring into 1% thing which I think is missing Which still should be emphasized the government only provides according to them one percent of their finance So who cares your problem lady?

1:28:18 Exactly. 11 seconds left as you started this segment by saying there is a firewall between the newsroom and management such as myself I believe that the way that we do our work in the way that we are successful is By pursuing journalism, that is excellent And so I don't think will sound different was meound exactly as we are fair responsible nonpartisan and You're right it was me. I'm sorry That Was Me I'll admit it, that was me. It was Telegram and it was still open, I forgot to close it That was me And who cares about NPR? There was a Windows alert sound and we're sorry To wrap up my M5M clips Do you use Telegram Oh ya have too What do you mean you have too? Oh thats where... Dude You want- DUDE! Dude if you wanna get news go to Telegram You gotta subscribe Listen to the telegram groups First of all

Hollywood Industry Crisis, Streaming Dominance

The Hollywood film industry is facing a significant downturn, with production in Los Angeles down nearly 40% over the last two years. Factors include the aftermath of the 2023 actors and writers strikes and the shift of production to states with better tax incentives like New Mexico. Despite the crisis in traditional studios, streaming entities like Apple and Amazon continue to dominate award shows and high-budget content creation.

hollywood· los angeles· tax credits· streaming· mgm· amazon

1:29:17 90% of our producers around the world have no agenda telegram groups. So I don't use it for instant messaging, although void zero seems to prefer that i've got here no agenda get my nation lowlands uh no agenda sharing is caring but then you've got stuff like n a texas No Agenda Ghetto. I'm a member of all these groups, but I want to see what's going on." But then of course you have some of the crazy things like... What is that nutjob's name? Can't even see her. Nutjob? Yeah she is a nut job. Tori Says. See there it goes. Tori Says. Tori Says! She is a nut job. We've played clips of Tori Says

1:30:09 So you've got a, you know... No. I don't have to do anything Hollywood in distress. Hollywood, well it's more than just the iconic boulevard here in Los Angeles It represents a massive industry 115 billion dollars a year just in California and today Hollywood is under threat The movie business is going through crisis like it hasn't seen since the down of television back in the 60s First there was COVID which shut down production for months then in 2023 came the actors and writers strike 148 days of complete shutdown, the longest in Hollywood history. In the end the strikers got some benefits but after that well nothing went the way anyone expected Los Angeles is down about 40% over the last two years I think we're down 38%. We were down 20 percent in 2023 and it fell another 18 percent in 2024 so we had to downsize

1:31:00 People had to do two jobs, three jobs just so that we wouldn't close our doors. Studios are not just filming less they're filming somewhere else where it's cheaper Take this studio in New Mexico for example They've got cutting-edge tech and local incentives that let productions get up to 30% of their budget back The only way for Hollywood to survive well, LA has to get competitive again. There's talk of new tax credits for local production so how will this disaster movie end? Well we'll see if Hollywood still knows how to pull off a good plot twist. No mention of the streamers no mention that Amazon bought MGM no mention that all of the award-winning shows and movies all come from streaming entities

1:31:44 They don't they don't this bothers me to knit. Well, I mean right I don't care I'm not getting any money from those gonna say how much really bother you that's it really bothered me that much but it bothers me just From a marketing sense Why would you broadcast the Emmys on? It's right broadcast TV and give awards to nothing that's on broadcast TV. Exactly! I mean, they like... these guys know to pat themselves on the back and here you give me an award, i'll give you an award let's do this in there but they can't promote their own business properly? Well they can't. Apple should win nothing ever

Kyra Sedgwick TikTok, Women's Rights Rhetoric

Actress Kyra Sedgwick posted a video on TikTok expressing fear over the loss of women's rights, social security, and food bank funding. The hosts noted that Sedgwick and husband Kevin Bacon previously lost significant wealth in the Bernie Madoff Ponzi scheme. They characterized her rhetoric as "code for abortion rights," noting that she currently resides in states with very permissive reproductive laws.

kyra sedgwick· kevin bacon· bernie madoff· tiktok· abortion rights

1:32:27 Yeah, but first of all they have great shows. They pump them out one after another and everybody works on them so it's like... You're right I don't know why do we care? Why do we care? We're podcasters! Well why would we care let's listen to a clip from uh what's her name uh Sarah not no Kyra, Kyra, Kyra Sedgwick. Her name is actress... Kyra, Kyra, Kyra, Kyra. Kyra Sedgwick who is a Hollywood actress making tons of money they have a house in New York City they have a... Who's she married to?

1:33:09 Kevin Bacon. Right on! So you get Kevin Bacon, they got a farm in Connecticut, they're living the life, they've got tons of money... Hold on he lost a lot of money with that Madoff deal remember? Kevin Bacon lost a lot of money, lost his shirt had all his money with Madoff Well, that indicates some stupidity I guess. And I think the real stupidity is listening to this woman a Hollywood type and this is what they think and she might as well go to your hairdresser. How you doing? I felt like it was important to get on the blower. The blower?!

1:33:49 What does she have to get on the blower? Wasn't the blower slang for the telephone, I get on the blower. Get on the horn Maybe...I don't know it's an old phrase that's lost me And by the way who cares that you're on the blower Kira Sedgwick was this on TikTok where'd you pick this up? I believe this is TikTok And talk a little bit about how I'm feeling and wondering how you're feeling about the state of our union. I'm finding myself pretty scared about a lot of things, scared about losing my rights as a woman, scared about losing my right to vote as a woman, scared about losing autonomy over my body as a woman, scared of my parents' social security checks

1:34:33 scared of food banks running out of food and not being able to replenish because they're no longer getting federal funding. Yes, the federal government can use improvement and there's a lot of things that they've done right over the decades. So I think the answer to being freaked out for me is about community and I feel excited that we're coming together as a nation on Saturday you can look it up in your area, it's hands-off march and You know, I'm just gonna go and hear what I hear and feel less alone in the world because i feel like that's really important. So if you're worried about anything that's going on in the world like I would suggest that you might want to get out there and have your body counted and your voice heard And we'll probably learn a lot and help each other just by being together Oh my goodness move to Canada

CHAPTER 21 / 44 Discussion

King Charles in Canada, Trump's 51st State Proposal

King Charles III delivered a throne speech in Canada emphasizing the nation's sovereignty and strength. In response, President Donald Trump suggested on social media that Canada could become the 51st U.S. state or pay for a joint missile defense system. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's office reaffirmed that Canada is an independent nation, while Trump continues to criticize Canada's NATO spending levels.

king charles iii· donald trump· canada· justin trudeau· nato· missile defense

1:35:34 Move to Canada. I don't get it! She is worried about her rights as a woman and she's worried about this as a woman, and this and that... Who's attacking anything that has got anything to do with her? That's code for abortion your rights as a woman. That's what that's called. She has plenty of rights. Nah she doesn't have the same rights as you. And California's got wide open abortion You can have an abortion until the last second around here In your car In your car, while driving. I mean come on! Hey, speaking of Canada. The King of Canada showed up because we all know he's really the king of Canada He really owns it. He's really in charge had a little speech It is with a deep sense of pride and pleasure Pleasure my wife and I join you here today It was the main event of a historic visit King Charles delivered the first throne speech from a sitting monarch in decades his remarks and royal visit crafted to send a message All Canadians can give themselves far more than

1:36:35 than any foreign power on any continent can ever take away. The king never mentioned Donald Trump by name, but he nodded to the subject on many Canadians' minds taunting tariffs and annexation threats from the US president As the anthem reminds us The true north is indeed strong and free. But this evening Trump posted on social media about Canada having to pay for an air missile defense system if it remains a separate but unequal nation while offering again to make Canada the 51st state The speech from the throne outlines the government's parliamentary priorities, including plans to lower income taxes trade freely between provinces and make it easier to build major energy projects including possibly pipelines. What we're going to do is fast track the approval

1:37:25 truly fast-track the approval of those projects. More can be done, more should be done and from our perspective more will be done." So President Trump of course jumped on his truth social to post in all caps about this and the global news. Global News picked it up because he's back on that 51st state thing again. The Prime Minister having to respond more of Trumps 51st State rhetoric after the President once again Turned to Truth Social to say it will cost Ottawa $0 dollars to join his proposed US missile defense system, the whole Golden Dome if Canada joins the U.S.. He also went on to say Canada is considering the offer. That prompted the Prime Minister's office put out a statement saying in part... By the way rule number one in business just go out there and say publicly they're considering my offers really good. Wait he's not lying

1:38:23 They are considering it. Because once they heard the offer, they have to be considering it because the consideration is no... But its consideration regardless! Canada joins the US he also went on to say Canada IS considering the offer All right that prompted the Prime Minister's office to put out a statement saying in part The prime minister has been clear at every opportunity including his conversations with President Trump that Canada is an independent sovereign nation And will remain one. And for more on all of this, let's bring in Global's Reggie Cicchini who joins us from Washington once again this morning. Look it is possible Jeff and Carolyn that there was something in the speech that might have triggered something in Donald Trump but also a possibility here that this post to social media were just thoughts from within the executive residence and that because Donald Trump often likes to be his own press secretary and put his thought out on social media look at Dude!

1:39:18 Hello 2015 reporting that he's got all he's just pulled out old school Trump is his own PR company. You know him this you know, I should do it himself He's trolling you Social media were just thoughts from within the executive residence and that's because Donald Trump often likes to be his own press secretary and put his thoughts out on social media. Look, there were a couple of different moments during the speech yesterday from The King that may have done something to put Donald Trump into a mood number one saying that Canada can give themselves more than any foreign power or any continent can ever take away obviously kind of an indirect hit at Trump's target uh of the 51st state but there was also the comments both from The King and from the Prime Minister that Canada is looking to enter a European armament

1:40:04 act that would see the continent and countries involved spending $1.25 trillion in defense over the next five years, that could be something that also potentially angered Donald Trump. He has been critical of Canada's spending when it comes to NATO he has said that Canada would cease to exist as a country if the American military wasn't there but with the Prime Minister saying more than 50 cents of every dollar spent on defense is going into the United States and that needs to change There are a variety of different reasons that Donald Trump may have gone to social media, but again it could simply be because he wanted the narrative changed to focus on him. To focus on him... It's about the money! It's about the military spending That's what started with and that's what is about. It is about spending on the Golden Dome They're gonna have to pay if you want to be under our Golden Dome

Sheryl Sandberg Accusations, Meta Corporate Culture

A former Meta employee, Sarah Williams, appeared on 60 Minutes Australia to level accusations against former COO Sheryl Sandberg. Williams claimed Sandberg’s private behavior contradicted her "Lean In" feminist platform, alleging uncomfortable requests on private jets and unusual personal interactions with staff. Meta and Sandberg have denied the claims, which Williams is detailing in an upcoming book about her decade at the company.

sheryl sandberg· meta· facebook· lean in· sarah williams· 60 minutes australia

1:40:51 I love the whole idea. A magical and prismal, The Golden Dome. Hey man do your 60 Minutes Australia thing because I loved that! I watched that whole thing i loved it yes a 60 minutes australia which is actually a good show and we have I think in the show notes? Yes and it's not sixty minutes...it's like 20 minutes It's not very long. But it was a spin-off originally of the CBS, but they've kept journalistic standards high and they have all kinds of just really interesting interviews and stuff. And they've got this woman who is coming out with a book and she's being sued and everything which is always what you want if you wanna get publicity, Sarah Williams. She has got a book, Slamming Meta on Facebook

1:41:42 And Cheryl Sandberg in particular. And that's the clip, she actually got fired from Facebook because she was there for a decade or more and then she accused some dude of hitting on her constantly one of our bosses and they fired her which is what you do. It's Silicon Valley! She's the troublemaker get out here but this one commentary that she had about about Aline Inn I just, uh...I thought was worth clipping and here it is. It's part of this broader thing at Metta where the people at the top have so much power and they don't really care about the employees or what's normal or boundaries it's about giving them what they want No one gets to the corner office

1:42:34 by sitting on the side, not at the table. Sheryl Sandberg was META's chief operating officer She wrote the book Lean In which launched a feminist movement to improve corporate culture for women in the workplace We're going to lean in and believe in ourselves and teach our daughters that they can do anything our sons can do. Sarah worked closely with Cheryl, and says her behavior at times went against many of the things the COO publicly campaigned for In private jets there's often a bedroom for the principal at the back of the jet She asked me to come to bed with he

1:43:16 And that wasn't something I felt comfortable doing. I just think that you should not get into bed with your boss unless you want to, which in this case I did not." That's just bizarre on the jet? Correct on the jet. Sarah says she felt uncomfortable but wasn't the only staff member to be treated the same way Sandberg had a young female assistant who Sarah says was sent to buy and model thousands of dollars worth of lingerie. Even more unusual, Sarah also claims the pair would stroke each other's hair. And it's scary to have a child and have a job

1:43:57 Because you worry that you're gonna go on maternity leave and someone is going to take your job away. Sarah admits she always put her work first, and remembers it was certainly the case when she was nine months pregnant about to have her first child Did you feel so indebted to the company though? That you know... You're in the birthing cycle. Yeah, no, to be fair Last time we saw each other six years ago, we stroked each other's hair. I mean you know it's just a thing to do. In fact i'll mention this...I saw somebody try to touch your hair once and they got beaten down! Got beaten down!! Don't touch my hair!!! You're like an old black woman. But I'm saying that for their protection because they might break their fingers

1:44:45 And so at the end of this, by the way and people should go to the show notes and listen to the whole interview. It's quite interesting. It was fantastic! But there is a disclaimer at the end. Sheryl Sandberg denies this and it isn't necessarily true or could be lies. Lies! But it's too good to pass up, as far as I'm concerned. And so far as a good clip is concerned So you know the way she said it though hearing it now for the second time You know maybe she was like no just come on we'll just go to sleep Just sleeping in bed and in the jet In the back It could have been

1:45:22 What kind of innocent is that? Although I don't think i would say that to any person working for me. I'll be like, get in the jump seat! This is my jet. I'm gonna spread out. I don't want anybody in the bed with me so he So it wasn't like, I want you to come to bed with me and have sex with me. That was the implication. Yeah... It sells books! It sells books, it sells the show, the show is good. People should just watch and think for themselves. They also blast a whole system of taking advantage of people. The whole thing that makes Facebook valuable

1:46:02 the nasty things they did. She points out, for example, they would find... They would keep track of everybody's actions and when they take like a teenage girl takes off kind of not great flattering picture herself and she'd take off and erase photos from the service that day take notice of that and say oh this person is She might be on, you know getting depressed or something and she doesn't like these old images. Let's send her advertising to take advantage of it And this course this woman she says that's a bad thing. Send her some likes quick send us some likes She puts it out as though This is horrible that they were exploiting these poor dummies that are on Facebook and I'm thinking what else would you what? What else would you do?

1:46:52 And I don't want to be cavalier about it, but I am cavalier about it. If you got somebody and figure out somebody is depressed because of their actions on Facebook cause you're tracking them like a dog which I don't have a Facebook account in my dad's. You're tracking them like a dog and then they, you've figured something out and you send him an ad that means that's what advertisers want. Instagram specifically I think is a big driver of bad mental health and a lot of people can handle it no problem. I agree! But we were at, so we were in Nashville and this is the K-Love Awards It's a national radio station they play Christian music And this is very popular you know big big names huge hits So we go because they basically have six concerts and then award show not part of any of the fandom of it however

CHAPTER 23 / 44 Discussion

K-Love Awards, Instagram Culture Sickness

A visit to the K-Love Awards in Nashville highlighted the performative nature of modern fan interactions. During a "meet and greet" with the band For King & Country, hundreds of fans were cycled through for rapid-fire cell phone photos rather than actual conversation. The hosts observed that many audience members watched the live performances through their phone screens to capture content for Instagram, describing it as a "sickness of epic proportion."

k-love awards· nashville· for king & country· instagram· meet and greet

1:47:46 As we arrived Friday afternoon, we got a text message. You're invited to the special meet and greet! Now coming from the music entertainment business... Oh that's cool! Because you know because we got our tickets last year and so but we were first in line maybe we were special? What does it meet-and-greet sound like to you? It sounds like a backstage gathering of VIPs getting to meet the performers. Yeah, exactly! And there's some Prosecco or some other cheap Andres... There should be a buffet. A buffet? Some snacks, you know, some M&Ms with only red ones. Some cheese rolls. Stuffed eggs

1:48:34 So, no. There was a line of 400 people but it was moving very fast and like let's just see what this is And so we're moving along in the line and it goes into one of these ballrooms and snakes around the room there's...there's the band for King & Country Are you in the line of 400 or are you walking through the line? No, no. We said let's see what this is about because we knew it wasn't going to be what I expected but let's just see... Let's see what they were cajoling us with with this secret text message which apparently went... Oh, what they're trying to sucker you into in a better term. Yes! Four-five hundred people in this line and so there's a backdrop and there's the band And you come up to the band It's your turn and it's going very fast They take your phone

1:49:22 I said, no and I actually said no but i'm just gonna take a picture of my wife with the man. No! We take the pictures Okay So we stand next to the van They do six pictures hand your phone back you move on And what I realized is, first of all poor band. They are standing next to five six hundred people filled with God knows what kind of germs and goo and spitting on you and breathing on you and touching your hands it's like just one constant Purell dispenser. And they're really nice about it but they're trapped in this K-Love radio station world they've got nowhere else to go so they're doing what their supposed to do But what really dawned on me

1:50:05 and especially the same thing at the award show, which isn't a grand old Opry. You know it's big to do, it's a big television show People only want to post on Instagram, I was here. Here i am look at me look at me I'm with for king and country there are people performing live on stage and half the crowd is holding up their phone looking at their phone screen while they're literally 10 feet away from the performer on stage This is a sickness of epic proportion. I agree We used to take pictures on vacation, you get them back...I know boomer talk sure You get them back and be like oh this is a fun memory of our time remember that? Oh yeah that was great No

1:50:51 This is all about look at me. Look at me, look at me my life I'm cool. I'm awesome everything's fantastic doing great. I'm doing great. Look at me. I'm doing the great and they're dying dying on the inside They're dying on the yeah, I'm not gonna argue that and which brings me to a clip Okay Wow because they talked about the exploitation of on Facebook And now you talked about these pictures so there are social media here's the kind of the kickback this is the visas They're gonna stop and they're gonna decide, and this got everybody in an uproar. They don't know what to think I have been saying this for years You can find out more from going to somebody's Flickr account, you can go to their thing and see them. Hello Boomer! Well yeah but I'm saying during the Flickr era... Yeah that's true. If they have a Flickr account or somebody's TikTok is less revealing than something like Flickr was where you'd see people at a party drunk and they post pictures of themselves

U.S. Visa Screening, Social Media Monitoring

The U.S. State Department, under a cable signed by Marco Rubio, is pausing certain student and exchange visitor visa interviews to expand social media screening. The crackdown aims to identify applicants who have posted anti-American sentiment or other disqualifying content online. This policy is part of a broader effort by the Trump administration to tighten immigration and higher education oversight.

1:51:50 all their drunk friends and you find out that I'm not gonna hire this guy, he's a drunk. But here is what going on with the visas. The United States is pausing all new student and exchange visitor visa interviews which covers a broad swath of professions from doctors to camp counselors while it studies how to expand screening of applicants social media posts according to a State Department cable obtained by the NewsHour and signed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio. This comes as part of a broader crackdown on immigration and higher education by the Trump administration. Yeah, I'm all in on this absolutely yeah Of course! You got people posting debt to America then they want a visa? Yeah That's basically what they're looking for It's crazy

CHAPTER 25 / 44 Discussion

Trump Pardons, Michael Grimm and Larry Hoover

President Trump issued a wave of pardons, including former Congressman Michael Grimm and reality stars Todd and Julie Chrisley. The Chrisleys' daughter lobbied for the pardon, claiming her parents were victims of a weaponized DOJ. Trump also commuted the sentence of Chicago gang leader Larry Hoover, though Hoover remains in state custody. The segment includes a personal anecdote about a friend caught in a Medicare fraud case who is also seeking a pardon.

donald trump· michael grimm· larry hoover· todd chrisley· julie chrisley· pardons

1:52:40 So, um... Get off these networks people! Everybody's up in arms about President Trump's pardons and he just put- I have a clip for couple of them. Oh okay well I have the one about the reality show people and I don't think this concludes that when we play this then you can take it take the rest of it Okay whatcha got? Say Trump Pardons or Pardons I don't see it. Maybe you misspelled it? Oh, screwball pardons! Here we go. The White House said today that President Trump issued a full pardon for former Congressman Michael Grimm the Republican from New York's Staten Island was convicted in 2014 of tax fraud and related charges

1:53:25 The former Marine and FBI agent had admitted to underreporting wages and revenues from a restaurant he owned before joining Congress. He left office in 2015, and served eight months in prison. Also today Trump commuted the sentence of Chicago gang leader Larry Hoover who's serving multiple life sentences for crimes including murder but it is unclear how soon he would be released as he still faces the remainder of a 200 year sentence on state charges Yeah, so there were 26 pardons and So a friend of mine is actually in jail right now awaiting a pardon from President Trump and I witnessed this whole process the guy we've talked about on the show. We haven't don't think we've talked about him on that We've talked about him after the show but it doesn't matter It's it's a friend of mine And he got wrapped up in a Medicare fraud scam

1:54:21 Yeah, he's an innocent bystander basically. Totally! But the way the Office of Inspector General and the DOJ went after him was just unbelievable the way this trial went, you know. You have to prove that someone actually wanted to commit fraud and was in a conspiracy and what they said is well you're a doctor! Your smart! You should've seen the red flags I'm not kidding That is pretty much how we got convicted Yeah I can see that happening In fact The constitutional lawyer and I We've been writing just incase the pardon doesn't happen I am actually going to have an amicus brief

1:54:58 For his appeal. Oh yeah, no the and it's good because you know how about The FTX scandal did anyone go to jail all those people who got wrapped up in this huge scan? How about all those intelligent people who invested in Elizabeth Holmes did they go to jail? No, I mean there's smart people get duped all the time. Good point. But this in my mind and there's less direct evidence for this but this was a Department of Justice out of control going for Pelt and it's

1:55:37 He's a huge Trump guy, you know Trump flags on the house and Trump ties And yeah, he's got to go to jail gotta code pretty much. God it that's the way I see it You know There's less evidence of that but just you can feel that played into it how they railroaded this guy So we're all praying that bet you know, he's number 27 on the list so maybe he'll be next but here's an example of And the way they make it sound, this is... Who did this report? This is... Oh, this is all global news from Canada. But you'll get the idea they make it sound like he's letting white criminals go free! Three years after they were convicted of tax evasion and bank fraud reality TV stars Todd and Julie Chrisley received a presidential pardon Freeing them from their lengthy prison sentences Your parents are gonna be free and clean And I hope we can do it by tomorrow

1:56:34 The president called me. The Chrisley's daughter got the call after months of lobbying, which included speaking at the Republican National Convention. Due to our public profile and conservative beliefs They accused my parents of fraud. Same story for former Virginia Sheriff Scott Jenkins, pardoned this week despite being convicted by a jury of bribery and fraud for accepting cash in exchange for police badges. Trump called him the victim of an overzealous Biden Department of Justice. Trump's use of the pardon power is part and parcel of his effort to assert an executive power over the law

1:57:11 Under Trump, the pardon process has been turned on its head. Pardon seekers and their families have spent millions on Trump events, lobbied his inner circle and tried to pitch themselves to the president. Trump although he is using the pardon power in a politicized way doesn't seem to be facing the same kind of political repercussions for that as prior presidents At the Justice Department The Trump appointed pardon attorney posted no MAGA left behind and is now urging Trump to consider pardons for others, including the two men who plotted to kidnap the governor of Michigan. Something Trump says he's now considering

1:57:48 So, when you look at these reality show people who of course were super MAGA Trumpers and they had cars and homes. This is what you do in a reality show. They were actually never convicted of tax evasion. The IRS admitted under oath they didn't actually owe anything. A federal agent lied on the stand, admitted it later which was recorded. The prosecutors called them the Trumps of the South. put the dad's face on a dartboard in their office. I mean, you know this there was a weaponization for sure and i'd say how about Hunter Biden?

1:58:27 I mean talk about tax evasion, illegal gun purchase while lying about being a drug addict. Smoking crack on video? Hanging out with underage girls and screwing them on video? And you know honestly we just like our doctor back he's good doctor that that's all the really really we want so anyway... You know this is this reporting it at this point is out of control. Big time, just know what? This is not reporting what you just told me about the reality story because I didn't pay any attention to any of this now. I said that one clip I got cause I thought was kind of funny and but I did see the old Trump's gonna let the Whitmer kidnappers get off and then they have this thing about the reality show. I saw it go through the news. I didn't look into it. I didn't get a clip. I didn't care

1:59:20 But now that you bring it up and you actually deconstructed it and showed that the reporting on it is crap, It just disgusts me. I'm feeling like Tim Poole And just as a side note so my friend made a couple hundred thousand dollars in a four-year period signing off on things that he was told had no...it's telemedicine Telehealth all right? So oh yeah we've seen this person here's their chart And he signed off on it. The entire fraud was $70 million dollars, those people are in Singapore or God knows where He gets dinged for 70 million dollars You gotta pay that back by the way and sit in federal pen for 10 years So come on How does he get dinged for 70 million when he made 100 thousand? Over 4 years That would be another part of the amicus brief Unfair unusual unfair punishment

2:00:17 not in line with the crime, quote unquote crime. So anyway so yes there was a true weaponization and these people were like they were you know because I was going to be a character witness and they did not want me. They had sidebars in the courtroom, don't want Curry, don't want Curry's... Like I have the persuasive power of God here that can oh that guy he's gonna ruin our case! And so they came into my house to intimidate me What is it? Well, this is news to me. You didn't tell this story to me! No they the OIG came to the door and I was... OIG stands for...? Officer Office of Inspector General that so it's a special... Is it state or federal? Federal, federal So you got some Feds that came over the house And I wasn't here and Tina was here

2:01:12 And she said, well we want to talk to him. She's like well he's not here but I don't think he wants to talk to you anyway and then they were driving around the neighborhood driving up the back road Come on all intimidation of course i immediately called the constitutional lawyer He says if they come back you put them on the phone with me I love that guy So, yeah. It really is true that the intimidation and weaponization was all in my opinion All what you, you live in a red town. You're with Trump? We're going to get you the guy has Trump signs around flag. No he's like Trump boots safer in California. Yeah. You know what it is like one of those guys his kids are dressed like Trumps. These kids are doing go Trump that we're gonna take. We're gonna run you in anyway last couple of clips I have here

CHAPTER 26 / 44 Discussion

Bitcoin 2025 Conference, Stablecoins and Bit Bonds

The Bitcoin 2025 conference featured Vice President JD Vance and New York City Mayor Eric Adams. Vance discussed the strategic importance of a national Bitcoin reserve, while Adams proposed "Bit Bonds" for New York City to attract crypto industry investment. The conference was dominated by discussions of stablecoins, with reports indicating major banks are exploring a joint stablecoin venture.

jd vance· eric adams· bitcoin· stablecoins· bit bonds· david sacks

2:02:12 This is, you know they just have a Bitcoin 2025 in I think it's Vegas and everybody turned out for Bitcoin 2025. Everybody showed up all the important people were there. I will first play a clip of JD Vance our vice president but i actually think that And where Bitcoin is going, is as a strategically important asset for the United States over the next decade. It's one of the reasons why President Trump with help from our great AI guy David Sachs it's one of the reason why we started the Bitcoin reserve because we want to start put in motion this strategic importance of Bitcoin for the United States government

2:02:59 We know that the PRC doesn't like Bitcoin, The People's Republic of China doesn't like Bitcoin. Well we should be asking ourselves why is that? Why is our biggest adversary such an opponent of Bitcoin and if the Communist Republic of China is leaning away from Bitcoin then maybe United States ought to be leaning into Bitcoin And thats one of things were going to do it Yeah! Leaning in! Leaning in like Sheryl Sandberg Not the only luminary to appear at Bitcoin 2025. Oh no, there was everybody's favorite mayor! Mayor Adams from New York We have financial instruments for all other bonds You can have tax-exempt bonds and other bonds It is time for the first time in the history of this city

2:03:54 to have a financial instrument that is made for those who are holders of Bitcoin. I believe we need to have a Bit Bond. And, I am going to push and fight to get a Bit Bond in New York so you can do those same bond investments in New York City. Thinking big and being unafraid of the future is what we want to do. So, I say to all of you who are here summonsing come out of the shadows come back to the city You no longer have to be afraid

2:04:31 to be part of this major industry that has been attacked, it has been criticized and it has been denied the opportunity to move forward and grow. We must lead the way we must be a city in country of innovators and creators not haters and even those haters that laughed at us in the beginning in a uniform manner. Who's laughing now? Look at how Bitcoin has grown and we must match what is happening on the national level with what we're doing on the local level if it grows in New York, It would cascade throughout the entire country and we will normalize and allow young people to know the evolution and power of The bitcoin universe you'd think he was at a human rights rally. It's amazing

2:05:24 Yeah, and now I have a supercut of the entire rest of the conference. The Bitcoin 2025 Conference here is the summary in super cut fashion. Stablecoins Stablecoin, stablecoins, stablecoins, stablecoins, stablecoins, stablecoins, stablecoins, stablecoins, stablecoins. I could go on for another 30 seconds it's all about stable coins. Stable coin is all about the stable coin

2:06:13 And now, according to the Wall Street Journal, the big banks are exploring venturing into the crypto world together with a joint stable coin. Stable coins. I'm telling you Mar-a-Lago Accord's incoming soon. This stable coin thing man they got plans. They just haven't explained it yet but they got plans. Yeah yeah they haven't explained it. They have not explained it but they're coming! And with that I'd like...I'm sorry? Oh, I was gonna play two Memorial Day clips before we went to the break. Alright let's do that! First of all, I have two Memorial Day clips because we had Memorial Day and... We did And I have to say we produced a show or we didn't but our producer did Guy Rya He produced a terrific show everybody who listened to it raved about it No no there was one guy on X who said I don't want to be critical

CHAPTER 27 / 44 Discussion

Memorial Day History, Black History Course Claims

A discussion on the origins of Memorial Day contrasted traditional views with claims from a social media "Black History" teacher. The teacher asserted that formerly enslaved people created the holiday, originally called Decoration Day, to honor Union veterans. She also made the unusual claim that ice cream was made with mayonnaise before being improved by Black creators, a statement the hosts found dubious.

memorial day· decoration day· civil war· ice cream· mayonnaise

2:07:10 But I hated it! After 15 minutes, I went to listen to something else. Well okay one guy didn't like it but that's true with all of our show Yeah I loved it. I thought he did such a good job with Melding because it's easy you can just throw clip-of-the day together but he had little interstitials and he mixed it cool He just...I think was just a very good job. Yeah he had taste Taste? Yes and good demeanor Memorial Day missteps. Why do you think those numbers are so low, and what should we do about it as a society? Well there are couple of things. I think sadly that a lot of our holidays have become about the commercialization. So for today there's a lot people although i don't begrudge them to have barbecues and hot dogs and hamburgers and lemonade maybe a beer on it really is about not just our heroes in the military but specifically our fallen heros in the military

2:08:20 And I was told that by the military. I said, thank you for your service to a vet who was on my radio show the other day and he said actually Memorial Day is more about those who didn't come home as opposed to somebody like myself who did come home Today after the show i'm taking a train to go see my mom and we will go to my father's grave where there uh... is a flag in their is a metal and the cemetery has cleansed the gravestones, especially of those who served like my father served in the Korean War. I come from a long line of veterans—my Uncle Harry, a Jewish man who fought the Nazis in World War II and that was pride for him. My cousin Keith is watching today

2:09:00 Okay, it goes on and on with this in the missteps This is this is a con Conflagration yes of multiple celebration celebrations of Memorial Day which is about the dead the fallen and Veterans day which is a different holiday. I know yeah Well, she got it mixed up and as everyone did but nobody did this good a job. We haven't had her on much but this is the black...the girl who teaches Black History Oh wait! Is this the one that white people eat people? Yeah they're cannibals. White people are cannibals Yes yes Well she has a rundown of Memorial Day She's got one thing right which was originally was called Decoration Day But I didn't realize

2:09:47 that we've got it completely wrong because she's got it right as usual. And here is the explanation of Memorial Day. Real quick, we also created Memorial Day It's pretty safe to say black people create all things good We make things better I mean take something simple like ice cream This shit had mayonnaise in it before we touched it Mayonnaise. So I'm not trying to hear shit else, the holiday was created by formerly enslaved people that wanted to just honor and commemorate their veterans who fought in the Civil War and for 100 years it wasn't recognized federally so it was mostly black people that celebrated this holiday It was also known as Decoration Day. Before it was called Memorial Day, it's actually called Decoration Day. The colonized word for it is now Memorial Day. Are we surprised? Now you might ask why do we have a Veterans' day and then also a Memorial day because Memorial Day was created to solely memorialize Union soldiers. The Union soldier are the people that fought against slavery please do not

2:10:42 confused them fighting against slavery for them being pro-black. A lot of these white union soldiers were not pro black, they were just against slavery because slavery was making the South a lot of money and the North was broke as shit We can just look at the North as some haters to the South, which is ironic because the South is literally using slave labor. But they're haters nonetheless I mean they was pocket watching before in this video it was actually celebrated in April for the first hundred years until America got its hands on it and here we are today and fucking May. I don't know but happy Memorial Day Well, this isn't a history I'm unaware of. Yeah, I didn't know about the mayonnaise either She says until black people came around ice cream was made with mayonnaise This is also new to me

2:11:30 Yeah. I guess... Her course must be fascinating! Wait, you can subscribe to her course? She's a teacher of black history Oh well i'd like to take her course, I'd like to take her class Can I do it via Zoom? No idea anything about it Hey with that I want to thank you for your courage say in the morning to you the man who put the C in the crypto cares known as stablecoin Say hello to my friend on the other end The one and only Mr John Cena Yeah, well in the morning to you Mr. Adam Curry and all your little ships and sea boots on the ground feeting the air subs in the water and all of the dames and knights out there. In the mornin' to the trolls and troll rumors... And still stop moving I want to count you! Hold onto a second.

Podcast Industry News, Megyn Kelly vs. Apple

Megyn Kelly expressed frustration with Apple Podcasts after her show failed to update for several hours, highlighting the technical superiority of modern "Podcasting 2.0" apps. These newer apps utilize the Podcast Index and Podping for near-instant updates. The segment also touched on Bill O'Reilly's aging voice and the "Value for Value" funding model used by independent creators.

megyn kelly· apple podcasts· podcast index· bill o'reilly· value for value

2:12:20 It's about right for a Thursday, I believe. Hello there trolls! Welcome and good to have you here And just so you know the troll room is open season You can do whatever you want in the troll room People are like don't say that Adam will close the troll room But i don't think I've ever threatened or certainly ever done that Do you kick people off? Once in awhile but thats more just for myself Just make me feel better and powerful Bu it's not very often that I do that It's only when I'm in a mood. But no, the troll room is there! It's there for that very point to troll me, to troll each other, to troll around, say whatever you want... it's ephemeral. Scrolls away after one screen and nobody sees it anymore You are literally yelling into the void. But yes power tripping thats right When im on a powertrip ill kick someone out of the room thats true I admit it fully Power trip I just wanna have some power

2:13:19 Now, of course the trolls they get to listen live to the show which is very fun. And you can do that at trollroom.io I don't know if you saw Megyn Kelly she was hopping mad the other day. She's always hopping mad. She was like Apple my show hasn't updated on your podcast app for six hours! What's wrong with you? No one answers my questions! She was hopping mad and of course Your iPhone could be on fire and no one's going to answer your question from Apple. Go to the forum, that's where you can get your answers! Now that was on Apple. On the modern podcast apps it had been there for six hours because the modern podcast apps use the Podcast Index. It's a much better system

2:14:08 And if she used Podping, a podcasting 2.0 which literally you can do with on a web page you can just say oh I'm published and click the button and it would update within 90 seconds on all the modern podcast apps. I'll send her an email maybe, I don't know if she cares but... She doesn't care. But... She likes to get worked up, she knows her numbers go up when she gets worked up there's nothing more entertaining than a mad blonde. Yeah yeah And according to Tina, she's tiny. You think she's... I thought she was tall? Tina says she's tiny-tiny Does Tina run into her? No, women have this intuition She doesn't know if she is tiny Shes real tiny So maybe just big head. Tiny body big head Merv Griffin's dream That's how you get successful on video Which is why she should be doing video that's great

2:14:59 So get one of those modern podcast apps and don't mess around. There's many of them at podcastapps.com, that's APPS plural apps and you'll get this show and you'll be alerted when we go live for the LivePod there are many live shows now And they also work on those podcast apps, not on the Legacy app. So give it a shot.

Oh then she's not that tiny. She's skinny. She's very skinny

2:15:39 Value for value is the motto for this show and it's been serving us pretty well for over 17 years. We provide the whole show to you from beginning to end if you're listening live, you get a little pre-show banter, you get all kinds of fun stuff to listen to if you're really listening live, you hear Darren O'Neill do the rock n roll pre-show And we had the handover.

It also says- wait Megan Kelly interesting facts this is kind of weird to put in here this way but this obviously generated right? She was groomed by Bill O'Reilly. Groomed! Groomed by Bill O'Reilly. That's one way of putting it. I still listen to his podcast from time to time, his voice has become so weak that it's kind of sad. He's got to be 70 and far in his seventies. You should know he doesn't sound... you're right! His voice doesn't sound like...I don't like his voice no

2:18:03 The current voice is old voice, probably yelling I'll do it live too many times. He's 75 which is not that old to have a... but he's interesting because he's 6'4". But he doesn't sound like this anymore. Do it live! I can write and we will do it live! No, he doesn't sound like that anymore at all. No, he sounds like he has been weakened Yes, weakened. Weakened. He's a beaten man So you can do that by supporting us and we thank all of our supporters, $50 and above. And at this portion of the show, we thank people who have donated more for this particular episode We just want people to donate it's not like you have to become an executive or associate executive producer That's just something that people wanted because they wanted to make sure their note is read and they want to bless us with more value and we understand that

Another major donor, Rosie Linkens, contributed $1,000 to secure a knighthood for her son, Paul, in honor of his 22nd birthday and graduation from welding school. The segment highlights the diverse professional backgrounds of the show's primary financial supporters.

2:24:27 He's crapping on Amphib. They had to decide against it So now we thank our executive and associate executive producers, and we start off he comes in monthly when we're lucky And when I say lucky it's because that means he's still alive It always comes in cash. There is like a brown stain on the paper I can see here on the scan or was that a blood stain? That was uh... I was having ribs for lunch Okay. And that's the barbecue sauce? $2,743 now this is not typical there's an extra it's an odd number so do you have a single in there no well how can you get forty three dollars without a single he had I think yet a five dollar bill and three two dollar bills or four two-dollar bills

2:25:25 Oh, math. Or it was something like some combination that was a $5 bill which gives you the odd number plus a bunch of twos Okay You sure that's the number because these are these numbers No believe me I do the number and then Jay does the numbers we both do the number This is the number If you have the wrong number someone could die Yeah I know That's why we do it twice I do one And then Jay double checks and she gets the same number Then we compare notes Boom this is the number Annie has a note And they're always long, but we love reading them. From Sironimus of Dogpatch in Lower Slobovia... Thank you to all the producers that make this an important but underfunded source of information! Yes? I didn't see Gitmo Nation on Trump's list of tariff nations yet somehow trade aka donations collapsed Was the drop from the increased tolling charge collected by most sources of funding transportation

2:26:21 I would also like to thank the workers of USPS for their fine service and importantly significant service improvements. After years of a three or four show interval from mailing to receipt, delivery has improved to a two-or three-show interval regardless of where it's mailed important to my periapetic... periotetic life? What is peripatetic? Oh you know i don't you know i i'm... Peripatetic I can't pronounce that word. Peripatetic, I got the pronunciation but what does it mean? Yeah look it up! Well you look it up while I read small commentary regarding the cynical comment on bias

2:26:59 The mixture of non-practicing Catholic and born again Christian that offers Zionist, anti-Semitic Islamophobic pro Palestine anti white Christian nationalist homophobic and pro LGBTQ plus views keep it interesting. Peripatetic is meaning you're traveling from place to place in particular working or based in various places for relatively short periods Well he definitely has a peripatetic life So it keeps the show interesting with insight from producers provides great analysis that is both personally and professionally useful.

2:27:37 I concur with your observation after Adam's high school presentation that while M5M viewership has declined and is not viewed by younger generations, it continues to be a primary source of news and information for decision makers especially legislators and investors. How about that? It is also a primary source of news for TikTok ex-and insta prognosticators I've noted that the alternative media's so-called news is often a reaction to M5M reports and rarely offer primary sources despite former M5Mers becoming podcasters. Just another cacophony of opinions offering their version of truth, no jingles, no karma from Sir Dogpatch, a seronymous of dog patch and Lois Lebovia And we thank you as always for your courage and for your support Yeah thank you

CHAPTER 32 / 44 Discussion

National Day of Prayer, Separation of Church and State

During the National Day of Prayer at the White House, President Trump spoke about "bringing religion back" to the country. The hosts analyzed the legal concept of the separation of church and state, arguing that the First Amendment prohibits the establishment of a state religion but does not bar religious expression within government. They criticized the modern interpretation of the clause as a "transmogrification" of the founders' original intent.

national day of prayer· donald trump· first amendment· constitution· religion

2:49:37 Because we just want to give you the truth, the information man. Am I right? What did you do on your day off? You did nothing! You puttered around. I DID NOTHING! Thank you to our executive and associate executive producers of episode 1768 Our formula is this We go out...we hit people in the mouth Big words Order! Shut up, slaves. Shut up, slaves. That's right slaves be quiet...be quiet...be quiet Um so there was oh I wanted to play this not just because of my faith but there was something that i think the president screwed up on in this particular clip

2:50:31 We recently had the National Day of Prayer and President Trump made a big deal of it at the White House. But there's something we need to comment on because he had a perfect opportunity to talk about it, and maybe he doesn't understand that so hopefully someone can talk him about it. He could not have asked for more beautiful day than this. And maybe that means something that brings us A little luck, but it's a great honor and I'm delighted to welcome you to this very special place the White House. To celebrate the annual National Day of Prayer and we're doing it up big is the first time they've done that this way and you deserve it We all deserve The White House The White House is special were bringing back religion in our country And we're bringing it back quickly and strongly

2:51:20 Because for America to be a great nation, we must always be one nation under God. A phrase that they would like to get rid of the radical left But Ben, I don't think we're going to let them get rid of that. Right? We're not letting them get rid of that. They say separation between church and state they told me. I said all right lets forget about that for one time. We said really is there separation? Is it a good thing or bad thing? I'm not sure but whether there's separation or not you guys are in the White House where you should be and your representing our country and were bringing religion back to our country and its a big deal

2:51:58 So this is gonna be really four years of celebration, so get ready. And we're gonna always bring God with us We're gonna bring God to those celebrations. We're not going to forget about God." So... You were already laughing about it I hear this all the time on left-wing podcasts and shows It's like separation between church and state! There's no god in government! But that is a misunderstanding of the founding fathers and writers of the Constitution. and I'll just revisit the First Amendment, Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. Or abridging the freedom of speech or of the press or the right of the people to peaceably assemble and to petition the government for a redress of grievances." Now they put this at the beginning because they felt that was very important because the founding fathers were all about God in the Bible. Shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion somehow this

2:52:59 This has been transmorphed, transmorgified into separation of church and state which is not in the Constitution. It means that Congress cannot tell you what to believe or what to believe in. The government cannot tell you—it does not mean that people can't bring their beliefs or God into government and it's just such a strange thing how people just accept this separation of church and state. And here's the president who himself believes, I think he believes in God now since he feels that God saved him to save America and who is writing? They have a whole faith office! Who was writing these speeches for him?! That was lame. There you go. Like he had lived heaven

CHAPTER 33 / 44 Discussion

Washington State Transgender Laws, Gender Expansive Definition

The DOJ and Department of Education are investigating Washington state laws that allegedly coerce school districts into hiding students' gender transitions from their parents. Education Secretary Linda McMahon criticized the policies as "covertly smuggling gender ideology" into classrooms. The segment introduced the term "gender expansive," which Grok AI defined as identities extending beyond the traditional male-female binary.

washington state· linda mcmahon· transgender· gender expansive· grok ai· department of education

2:53:47 Well, but come on. Since you brought that in I might as well bring these clips in which kind of back you up this is about the trans Maoism Yay! Which is a religion Yes it is They don't want to admit it But its a religion and there's some action taking place up in Washington state and we have the trans Maoist clips from Washington State So the DOJ and the Education Department are joining forces for a first of its kind investigation. It's digging into Washington state laws for transgender students, Dan Springer is in Seattle. Yeah Alicia the Trump administration says it's pretty clear that the Washington State laws on transgender issues violate federal laws, a host of federal laws and this newly formed joint task force is designed to speed up the crackdown

2:54:37 Today is going to be a work day. Students in La Center, Washington stand out from the rest of the state for what is not part of their education. Teachers don't ask them for preferred pronouns or alternate names and if they do identify as transgender, a meeting is set up with their parents. School officials say not to out them but to include the most important people in their lives If I leave the parents out then that I erode that trust and I'm expected to call home if they want to use sunscreen, but if they're gonna change their gender identity. I I shouldn't call home Okay Which is a rule that a lot of states? California being one of them you have to keep it as secret from the parents Oh my law Is that still a thing you can't tell the parents yes? It's still a thing hmm by law

2:55:31 Yeah, well I mean...I don't know. No one's been made an example of yet for violating this law but it is coming as things progress, but here we go with the second half of this guy. LaSenter calls it a pro-family policy and is fighting to keep state funding because state law says parents must be kept in the dark if that's what students want two sets of school records one parents can see and one they can't And that has triggered an unprecedented federal joint investigation by the Education and Justice Departments Education Secretary Linda McMahon writes, Washington State appears to use its position of authority to coerce its districts into hiding gender identity information from students' parents and to adopt policies to covertly smuggle gender ideology in the classroom. Some female athletes are also speaking out. Annalie Wilson says she's competed against and lost three biological boys in the last year I don't want this to keep happening to other girls. I don't want other girls have to experience this

2:56:32 So if I need to talk about it and stand up for other girls, I will. But state school superintendent Chris Reichtal is digging in calling the federal investigation an alarming attempt to infringe on the rights of our transgender and gender expansive students And of course millions and millions of dollars are at stake here not only for the state of Washington but all of its school districts In La Center alone they get 80% of their operating budget from Olympia It's all now at risk Did you hear the new term in there? No, what was it gender expansive Wow what is gender expansive I'm surprised you didn't hear it. You're right at the near the end

2:57:16 I have no idea. I've never heard this is a brand new term gender issues, gender or something and gender expansive. Is it the very end? I want to hear that. That's as you bet I'd say within 10 seconds of the end talk about it and stand up for other girls. I will but state school superintendent Chris right doll is digging in calling the federal investigation an alarming attempt to infringe on the rights of our transgender and gender expansive students and of course millions and millions dollars are at stake here not only for the state of Washington but all of it gender expansive students I like it what do you like about it what does it mean well I want to use a you know all expansive for all kinds of things. I'm a podcast expansive student

2:57:59 A gender expansive student, so they expand their genders? I have no idea. Maybe... Well if you look at it by pure definition... Hold on a second. Yeah you were male and now your all kinds of things. Let's ask Grok what does... Why not? Does the term gender expansive mean? Okay, all right Grok. Sock it to me Grok! The term gender expansive refers to individuals whose gender identity or expression extends beyond the traditional binary categories of male and female. Oh cats

2:58:39 Cats, right. The litter box! It encompasses a wide range of gender identities including non-binary, genderqueer, genderfluid, agender, I'm a noagender and other identities that don't conform to societal norms of gender. Gender expansive people may express their gender in ways that challenge or transcend conventional expectations embracing a more fluid, flexible or inclusive understanding of gender. Okay... That sounds like a crock of shit if ever there was! We're up to speed Boomer! We know what's going on Well on that note one of our producers works at Amazon I think in a managerial role so this person shall go unnamed but sent me a screenshot

CHAPTER 34 / 44 Discussion

Amazon Gen Z Intern Policy, Workplace Expectations

A leaked policy memo from Amazon outlines strategies for managing Gen Z interns, emphasizing their need to feel "valued, included, and empowered." The memo suggests that managers must avoid micromanagement and appeal to the interns' desire for "sustainability" and "higher ideals." Critics, including JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon, have previously commented on the unique challenges and shifting work habits of this younger demographic.

amazon· gen z· interns· jamie dimon· work-life balance· management

2:59:33 of a policy memo that came out to management at Amazon, understanding Gen Z interns. Would you like to understand Gen Z interns? Oh I would love this sounds like a gold mine! Yeah i think you're right okay here we go The majority of our program's interns, though certainly not all are Gen Z. In fact Gen Z is well on their way to becoming the most influential group in the workplace Research shows that Gen Z priorities and work expectations have shifted in order to hire and retain Gen Z talent training and management styles must shift as well

3:00:15 Outlined below is a high-level overview of current trends surrounding Gen Z employees and some best practices that can be leveraged throughout the internship. Are you ready to look? Oh, this is gonna be good. And as a backgrounder I want to mention that Jamie Dimon came out with some commentary about Gen Z's in the workplace and there has been a lot of different...I don't have a clip unfortunately but there has been a lot...I'll get one. There has been a lot of and we do it on this show commentary about Gen Z's work habits coming in late and thinking its okay and all these characteristics that make them problematic as employees because they

3:00:55 They didn't have jobs when they were in school and they didn't learn much when they were in school. And they don't have recess anymore, a lot of them are fat. Wow! Okay Gen Z employees dot-dot-dot and these are some bullet points. Bullet point one want to feel valued included and empowered at work I'll wait a boy little boy point to want to feel they are making an impact appeal to their need to accomplish something beyond themselves with purpose and contribute to a higher ideal this renews motivation and engagement

3:01:38 Third point, are less inclined to work with managers that micromanage. Allow them some level of autonomy to try new things and grow new skills. Simultaneously you should be available to guide and provide support when needed. Point four Gen Z's value work-life balance. And get to work! And point five Gen Zs value sustainability From these factors, we see community engagement and support as equally important to interns as understanding their project and how Amazon evaluates their work. Managers own their intern's experience making the work you do to meet these needs critical." Oh they sound like royalty!

3:02:33 That's an interesting series of kind of meaningless bullet points. Yeah, they value their work-life balance so who doesn't? But I mean it's just like why are they so special are you afraid...I guess what they're afraid of losing them because the Gen Zers if they don't get their way then they will not be they will not want to work for Amazon that's how i read this memo Well then Jay-Z, oh Jay Z. Yeah the Jay Zers. Gen Z has put themselves in a position of dominance if that's true. Power! So they pulled it off if that's true but at some point you've got to say wait a minute yeah we're paying you money to do something

3:03:26 You don't need, you're getting... It's not like you do it well if your unpaid intern then I think you could. No, I think interns at Amazon get paid something. Yeah sure they do and so they get paid is just a temporary job but you still get paid. But from now on Gen Zers to be known as Jay-Zers that's it! It's no agenda vocabulary at this point. Yeah, it happens. It seems that the United States is pulling away from any support of Israel. President Trump, I think is mad at Benjamin Netanyahu and probably with good reason things are taking quite a turn for the worse in Gaza or where the Palestinians live

CHAPTER 35 / 44 Discussion

Gaza Humanitarian Aid Crisis, UN vs. Israel

Tensions have escalated between Israel and the United Nations over the distribution of humanitarian aid in Gaza. Israel claims that hundreds of aid trucks are waiting at the border but that the UN has failed to collect and distribute the supplies. Conversely, UN agencies report that their distribution centers have been decimated and that the current "US-backed aid system" is insufficient to prevent widespread starvation.

gaza· united nations· unrwa· benjamin netanyahu· humanitarian aid· israel

3:04:13 as they're starving and the Israelis are blaming it on the United Nations. These chaotic scenes in a UN warehouse underscore the desperation of starving Palestinians in Gaza for more than two months Israel stopped humanitarian aid entering the enclave supplies have been slowly trickling in but the center became overrun with people taking what they could The World Food Program said there were injuries and death. It's the same situation across Gaza, nearly half a million people are in a catastrophic situation of hunger starvation illness and death according to the World Health Organization. The UN condemned a US-backed aid system that has been recently distributing humanitarian supplies. The head of UNRWA said they used to have 400 distribution centers in Gaza

3:04:59 but now it's three or four maximum under the new model. Israel says it is doing its part, but accused the UN of worsening the situation. There are more than 400 trucks already on the other side of the fence waiting to be distributed, but the UN has failed to pick them up. We opened the crossings we provided safe routes for those trucks, but the UN did not show up so let me be clear The UN must stop spreading panic and start moving aid Put your ego aside, pick up the aid and do your job. Well this is interesting they say the UN is not doing their job? That's what they say hmm I have a clip here from might be you know the UN might be not it's possible that the UN is not doing their job just to further humiliate Israel yeah make it worse on purpose that's possible It's not a good situation

3:05:58 Here is a judge naps podcast as we always by the way almost no one Sent me any podcast clips or time codes of anything what does not count is some dude on Instagram talking about the weather Yeah, I think this is going to be the standard. We're gonna have to do our own research. I don't think people...I think people listen to certain podcasts but they just don't want to go through the effort of clipping it's not that many people know how to clip You don't have to clip you can just... I don't even want to bother Apps like Podverse and Fountain you can actually clip in the app It helps you make a clip

3:06:41 Some people send that to me, but usually it's an ISO of someone saying no agenda. Okay? Yeah is stuff we don't use a lot of that This is judge naps podcast judging freedom and worse if this guy's turned out to be some of those some of the worst material I thought this was rather interesting free Palestine This is exactly the same chant We heard on October 7th on that day thousands of terrorists stormed into Israel from Gaza They beheaded men, they raped women. They burned babies alive. Free Palestine is just today's version of Heil Hitler! They don't want a Palestinian state – they want to destroy the Jewish State I could never understand how this simple truth evades the leaders of France Britain Canada and others. They're now proposing

3:07:34 to establish a Palestinian state and reward these murders with the ultimate prize. You won't be surprised to learn that Hamas thanked President Macron and Prime Ministers Stahmer and Carney for demanding that Israel end its war in Gaza immediately Now, these leaders may think they're advancing peace They're not So don't give us this talk It'll be a peaceful Palestinian state it won't be Can anybody take seriously this equation of free Palestine with Heil Hitler? Hasn't 95, 98 percent according to Jeff Sachs of the countries in the United Nations voted to accept Palestine as a member country, as a sovereign state and it keeps getting vetoed by the United States and the Security Council.

3:08:24 Yeah, that's precisely true. Something like 140 countries I believe the number is. Netanyahu has gone a little bit overboard with this as the new Heil Hitler Well, I think he's in trouble No kidding! He's gone so far that even Trump doesn't want to deal with him right now or at all Yeah, well because there's this... That may be a ploy though. It's possible that if Trump's negotiations with Iran don't go the way he wants Israel can attack Iran and blow up a bunch of nuke sites which they've done before in Syria and elsewhere They could blow it up and Trump could be you know I tried to stop him

CHAPTER 36 / 44 Discussion

Trump Criticizes Putin, Russian Aerial Attacks

President Trump expressed disappointment in Vladimir Putin, stating that the Russian leader has "gone too far" by launching rockets into Kiev during active negotiations. Despite a major prisoner swap involving 1,000 soldiers, Russia launched one of the largest aerial attacks of the war. Trump warned that he is dealing with Russia "very strongly" as he evaluates Putin's sincerity regarding a peace deal.

donald trump· vladimir putin· kiev· ukraine· drone attacks· negotiation

3:09:17 Interesting. So Trump maybe is the you know like that what is it called when your You don't want to be in a loop so you can have plausible deniability. Yes, the classic American plausible deniability. Well... President Trump is mad at everybody he is mad at Putin now US president Donald Trump appears to be changing his tone when speaking of his Russian counterpart while he has normally heaped praises on Vladimir Putin Even once calling him genius for invading Ukraine in 2022, on Sunday he said Putin started to go too far. I'm not happy with what Putin's doing. He is killing a lot of people and i don't know what the hell happened to Putin. I've known him a long time always gotten along with them but he's sending rockets into cities and killing people and i don't like it at all okay

3:10:10 We're in the middle of talking and he's shooting rockets into Kiev and other cities. I don't like it at all." Trump's criticisms come after a weekend in which Russia and Ukraine traded 1,000 prisoners-of-war each but that also featured massive Russian drone and missile attacks From Saturday to Sunday, Russian forces launched the largest aerial attack of the war so far. Hitting cities across Ukraine killing several people and wounding many others. So while that's happening... On that clip? Yeah And it was in every I have a clip by the way don't want to miss on that clip and all the clips it says the same thing their greatest most massive attack they've ever done and killed three people

3:10:54 I mean there's something wrong with the reporting. If it is a massive biggest attack ever, which is what they say in that report... They do! And they say all the reports and it kills like three people and injured a child they usually throw that in. Yeah of course So what are these things hitting? That you're not really doing but if its most massive at all time shouldn't have got thousands of people be killed? No just big booms Big Nat Pops. There's something fishy about this whole thing Well, it is part of the negotiation and they're going to meet in Istanbul for the second time Should I play your PBS clip for the update?

CHAPTER 37 / 44 Discussion

Ukraine Peace Talks in Istanbul, German Missile Policy

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov announced a new round of peace talks to be held in Istanbul, though Ukraine has not yet committed to attending. Meanwhile, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz signaled a shift in policy by lifting range restrictions on weapons supplied to Ukraine, potentially clearing the way for the delivery of Taurus long-range missiles. Russia has warned that such escalations are "dangerous" and provocative.

volodymyr zelensky· friedrich merz· istanbul· taurus missiles· nato· sergey lavrov

3:11:31 Yeah, this is the update of the updates. This was released yesterday. Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelensky was in Berlin today appealing to his country's biggest military backer in Europe Germany's new Chancellor Friedrich Merz offered to help Ukraine build its own long-range missile systems that could strike deep into Russia a move Moscow called provocative Zelensky said the military muscle is necessary You can all see what Putin is doing every night. Massive drone attacks, hundreds of drones in order to protect lives and our cities we need constant support Ukraine said that Russia's latest strikes on the city of Kharkiv overnight killed one person and injured seven others including a child

3:12:15 That comes as a United Nations panel today found that Russian attacks on civilians in Ukraine's Kherson province amounted to crimes against humanity. Its report concluded that quote, these acts were committed with the primary purpose to spread terror among the civilian population and violation of international humanitarian law Meantime, back in Washington President Trump expressed frustration at the timing of recent attacks. I'm very disappointed at what happened a couple nights now where people were killed in the middle of what you would call a negotiation and I am very disappointed by that That frustration comes as Russia's foreign minister, Sergey Lavrov pushed a new round of talks for next Monday in Istanbul. Ukraine has not yet committed to taking part.

3:13:11 Minister Sergey Lavrov made the announcement on Wednesday. The announcement comes after Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan concluded a two-day trip to Moscow where he met with Lavrov and President Vladimir Putin. Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump says he's quote very disappointed with his Russian counterpart's decision to escalate fighting. He also stated that it will be clear to him soon whether Putin is sincerely looking for peace or not as he warned of a potential shift in Washington's approach. dealing with them very strongly right now. They seem to want to do something, but until the document is signed I can't tell you." The Kremlin's proposal comes at a time of increased Russian bombardment of Ukraine and heightened tensions Moscow says it's ready to end the war if Ukraine eliminates what it calls the root causes of the crisis

3:14:13 So I was only able to find one report on the details of the proposed talks and that came from boots on the ground at France 24. think this woman's in Ukraine. As it stands, the Russian proposals haven't changed since 2022 and they amount to a capitulation of Ukraine and it is not something that Ukrainian troops or the Ukrainian government are ready to do constitutionally. This is Ukrainian territory on legal terms Ukraine will also not recognize that those regions are partially occupied by Russia. There's another bone of contention, it is the fact that Russia wants a written promise by Ukraine and its allies on the non-expansion of NATO eastwards and that's also something that Ukraine is not ready to do because Ukraine has a security guarantee to try and prevent any

3:15:09 any further, any future attack of Russia on its own sovereign territory. While Ukraine still is seeking to join NATO even if Kiev also knows that it's not going to happen in the near future as also to show the position Ukraine's allies, the Netherlands said earlier this week that Volodymyr Zelensky was a welcome guest at the next NATO summit. So there are their proposals by Russia that on the Ukrainian side wouldn't be acceptable." Yeah so Zelensky is invited to The Big Splash in The Hague, The Big Splash, The Big NATO Summit

3:15:53 So that of course will not help anything and it looks like Germany doesn't want any peace at all. Mr Peepers After days of intense Russian shelling across Ukraine, Germany's newly installed Chancellor made an announcement that could reshape the war There are no longer any range restrictions on weapons delivered to Ukraine neither from the British nor from the French nor from us nor from the Americans. His announcement means Germany could soon adjoin a list of countries already supplying long-range missiles both Paris and London have sent Storm Shadow and Scalp missiles used to target Russian forces inside occupied Ukrainian territory

3:16:39 And in November, President Joe Biden gave Kiev the green light to strike inside Russia with the Army Tactical Missile System ATAKMS. For Germany Monday's move signals a major shift in defense policy and could finally open the door to delivering Taurus With a longer range than British and French models it would give Ukraine the ability to hit targets deep behind enemy lines Friedrich Merz has voiced support for delivery But on Monday he didn't confirm whether Germany would go ahead or whether his comments referred to other long-range missiles. But Ukraine, he said must be allowed to strike back by hitting military targets inside Russia The Kremlin responded swiftly saying plans to lift any range limits would be dangerous

CHAPTER 38 / 44 Discussion

Iceland's Strategic NATO Role, Prime Minister Frostadóttir

Iceland's new Prime Minister, Kristrún Frostadóttir, emphasized her country's commitment to NATO and transatlantic unity. Despite not having a standing military, Iceland is increasing its defense-related investments in facilities like the Keflavik Air Base and focusing on Arctic security. The strategic importance of Iceland's geographic position between Europe and North America remains a focal point for NATO's northern flank.

iceland· kristrún frostadóttir· nato· arctic security· keflavik air base

3:17:28 Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky is expected to meet Chancellor Merz in Berlin on Wednesday, according to media reports. What could possibly go wrong? Give them the Taurus missiles of course it's gonna be fine they just want war man they want war! That's the Germans of course and a new player has entered the game in the northern regions. Since Greenland is just a non-starter, nothing's happening we haven't bought them yet no deal has been done A new player enters! The new Prime Minister of Iceland have you seen her? No I have not Kristrún Fróstadóttir

3:18:15 or something like that. This is a very important meeting for us, both in the run-up to the big meeting at The Hague but also just to strengthen and continue our relationship with NATO. We have a new government since end of December and it's important that we get the message across that this government is very supportive of our presence as NATO We are very supportive and head on when it comes to continuing transatlantic relations. Iceland is obviously geographically, both in Europe but also in North America we have tight-knit relations with the EU through our EEA agreement and through NATO presence but also with the US through a bilateral defense agreement

3:19:09 So that's why always when I meet with EU leaders, when I meet with global leaders, when I met with Mark today we talk about the importance of this transatlantic unity and this will always be our message. Also very important for us to hear, for me to hear. For the general public and ISUN and also just NATO members as a whole to hear that there's an understanding of ISUNs position. Yes we are country without a military but that doesn't mean we don't have strong defenses in our role to play in NATO We came in as founding member with certain strengths Our strategic position, our facilities

3:19:46 We do our very best to be a strong ally and like you said we are conducting and creating for the first time A new security and defense policy where we're focusing on our specific strategic position in NATO. We're willing to spend more when it comes to defense related investments, strengthen our facilities when it comes to Keflavik Air Base When it comes to ports, when it comes to general host nation support and also very good and constructive talks on Arctic security. Ah, she's gonna be a player! Looks like it yeah... She's a player. She's young she looks like she's early 30s. Yeah, player. She got a bunch of- she also is a perky Minister for Foreign Affairs. Oh really? Katrin What?! I didn't see the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Yeah you should look at her. She looks like your wife

3:20:43 Well, she must be super hot. Hold on a second... Kristrún? What's her name the...? Some Icelandic name... Dórberger Katrine Gunnarsdóttir Let's see if... Katrin Doll-Dornberger There you go! Well, Dornberger is not her Katrina Bol Dornberger. Is that what you just said? No, no. Gunnar's daughter is her last name. Okay, Foreign Minister Iceland. How about that maybe that'll work better for me. Yeah you get her. I don't see her... Oh! Okay

3:21:32 Tina's much better looking than that. Man, what an insult! Well I have a good picture of her... you don't? No did you see the Minister of Social Affairs? Ruff-inga? Yeah she looks like a Berkeley liberal. She looks like an inga Wow, that's an interesting group. A reasonably good looking group. Donovan Inga, how'd she slip in there? How did they let Inga into the cabinet? Well you're... now you're ugly shaming me! Well that's what we do on the show Yes it is true but not so obviously

CHAPTER 39 / 44 Discussion

Podify Media Cold Email, Universal Testaments Easter Eggs

The hosts shared a "cold email" from Podify.media asking if they had ever considered starting a podcast, highlighting the automated and often poorly targeted nature of modern marketing. Additionally, an author of a new series titled "The Universal Testaments" requested permission to include the hosts as "Easter egg" characters in his books, using backwards-spelled names.

podify.media· billy samoa· busy executive· universal testaments· easter eggs

3:22:11 Well, she's making a play. She wants to get there you know Screw Greenland the ice is never yeah Yeah I think that one over here You know we'll do will do it deal and what can have a base right in North? I mean nice guys got lots of places you could put a base absolutely. I think it's better weather It's better whether On the AI front I shared this with you I got a beautiful email from Billy Samoa at podify.media I wanted to share this because he emailed me and i was very flattered

3:22:48 Subject of the email, have you ever considered a podcast? Adam. Yeah this is classic! Have you ever imagined thousands of folks tuning in to hear your thoughts? That's what a podcast can do for a very busy executive like you I'm Billy CEO at Podify we handle every step to launch your show so just share ideas curious Billy Samoa. Yes, that's the point. It was just a stock letter that they had a mailing list of quote-unquote busy executives and you got one of the mailings How did I get on that list? The point is these people are doing no work probably a Gen Zer You know just do bottom feeding it's ridiculous

3:23:54 Now we do have another, unless you brought it up. I wish he'd started with Adam, I hope this email finds you well. That would've been perfect! Now we have a request from one of our producers. I was going to send him an email telling him to send you this note which is long note but he is an author for an epic new series called The Universal Testaments. It's somewhat biblical, I guess. But he wants to put some Easter eggs in his story which includes a reference to No Agenda spelled backwards and on a nega show and have us as a couple of characters in it as Easter eggs

CHAPTER 40 / 44 Discussion

SpaceX Starship Flight Test, Mars 2029 Goals

The latest SpaceX Starship flight test saw the 123-meter rocket travel further than previous attempts before losing contact during re-entry over the Indian Ocean. While the spacecraft experienced an "uncontrollably spinning" state, SpaceX characterized the mission as a successful learning opportunity. Elon Musk maintains a goal of sending humans to Mars as early as 2029 using the Super Heavy booster system.

spacex· starship· elon musk· mars· indian ocean· rocket launch

3:24:41 Both spelled backwards kind of things. And he wants to know if it's okay with us? Sounds good to me! It sounds fine to me, I don't care. Yeah we can be... people should incorporate We've had this happen before where someone easter-egged us in some storyline Alright final clip for me the latest SpaceX launch and it's liftoff for spacex mega rocket starship 123 meter spacecraft traveled further than the two previous launches which both ended in fiery explosions minutes after takeoff

3:25:22 The two-stage vehicle consisting of the Starship vessel mounted on a SpaceX super heavy rocket booster started off well. Both parts separated as expected. However, it wasn't a complete success. There were hopes Starship could complete the test flight and release mock satellites but that didn't happen The spacecraft was uncontrollably spinning in space I love how their commentators describe it Just to confirm we did lose contact with the ship officially a couple of minutes ago so that brings an end to the 9th flight test

3:25:58 It then re-entered the Earth's atmosphere, likely landing somewhere over the Indian Ocean. But SpaceX said it was part of the learning process With a test like this success comes from what we learn and todays test will help us improve Starships reliability as SpaceX seeks to make life multi planetary Its biggest and most powerful launch vehicle ever built And owner Elon Musk wants it go where no man has gone before Mars His aim is that humans will go to the red planet as early as 2029. Rapid, unscheduled disassembly always my favorite term. Yeah I like the way they put it but that rocket is a monster

3:26:37 And it's got a really an interesting flame. Well, it has 33 engines! Just just a fabulous product this guy is. I think it's true you know the test is a test... It's a test that's what its for. It didn't kill anybody Not yet. Killed some fish on the way down. I want to tease some clips for the next show I got some climate clips that are gonna be dynamite, but I want to play them today. I only have one clip left to play for today? Yes Well as you know there's always a... Even though through the period of time that we've done this show which is almost 18 years We've seen recycled news stories and it's one of those things that crops many times Many times And my favorite one is always The Flying Car

Noah's Ark Discovery Claims, Flying Car Prototypes

Recurring news stories about the discovery of Noah's Ark in Turkey have resurfaced, with researchers claiming to find "decayed wood" in a boat-shaped geological formation. The hosts noted that similar claims appear every few years without definitive proof. They also critiqued recent "flying car" prototypes, describing them as glorified quadcopters that lack the physical capability to function as practical transportation.

noah's ark· turkey· mount ararat· flying cars· jetson· quadcopter

3:27:29 Well, and I'm waiting for one. Yeah well the...I've been hearing about the flying car since the 70s Yes And it comes around and goes and comes and goes and comes and there's a couple new ones out that are complete fakes Oh yeah phony But another story I realized when I saw this one is another story that keeps repeating itself which is the eminent discovery of Noah's Ark They found it again! Scientists exploring a boat-shaped site in eastern Turkey have found compelling signs it could be the real Noah's Ark. With hints of decayed wood and manmade features, researchers are gearing up for a deeper look

3:28:15 Fascinating, because when you dig in that part of the world everywhere you look there is history. That would be blockbuster history! That would be amazing I'm here for it and i'm going to continue to watch and wait for updates on that one yes Where was found this time? In the middle of nowhere in the mountains of Turkey It looks like a geological formation kind of looks like a large boat its bull crap I have seen this story crop up every six or seven years Yes, Noah's Ark. I wonder if we have any previous Noah's Ark discoveries? Noah's Ark ready to open in Kentucky?

3:28:58 I remember that one. Yeah, that's a good one That's supposed to be pretty funny to go to well You have to see it to believe in a new full-scale replica of Noah's Ark called the ark Encounter is set to open in Williamstown Kentucky this Thursday now. This leads me to look at some money honey That's the money honey from 2016 I'm gonna look it up on bingit.io, that's a good one. I want to find the other Noah's Ark stories and flying car yeah i'm all about it, I'm ready for it. Have you seen the latest one that flies around with these little propellers? It couldn't get anything off the ground have you seen this one? Yeah! It's like a plastic car on top of a drone and they pretend there is a flying car

3:29:40 That's the one. I don't know if that's the one, all i know is it got four... It says it's a quadcopter with somebody sitting on it and the props are about five inches maybe? And there's four of them this thing couldn't lift anything! Oh wait.. Is this just not physically possible?! Is this a single seater? Yeah yeah so it's like a motorcycle The Jetson Oh, the motorcycle one. No no there's two motorcycle ones you have to keep a look at The one that I... is the one where he's inside of a hangar and the motorcycle takes off and flies inside the hangar then shoots outside and comes back in? Yeah yeah I've seen that one That's like the eagle who picked up the baby I'm gonna show my support by donating to KnowAgenda Imagine all the people who could do that oh yeah they'd be fab

CHAPTER 44 / 44 Discussion

End of Show Mixes, Vaccine Propaganda Supercut

The episode closed with a series of musical mixes and a "propaganda supercut" featuring various news anchors and celebrities promoting COVID-19 vaccinations. The audio collage highlights the repetitive "safe and effective" messaging used by mainstream media over the past four years. The hosts signed off with their traditional "A hui hou" and "Adios mofos" before the final credits.

Superstar speaker to the high school. President Donald Trump is yes! Hairdos, boots or hats or anything like that...

3:54:10 Put simply, propaganda is the dissemination of ideas intended to convince people to think and act in a particular way and for a particular purpose. New CNN reporting shows there's been a sharp decline in vaccination ads on television. The COVID-19 vaccines have been proven safe and effective There is a lot of misinformation about the COVID-19 vaccine, so it's critical that you get the facts from sources you can trust. The fact is that the vaccines are safe and effective. More sickness and death across our nation

3:54:51 A campaign of shock and awe has begun. It's all of our responsibility to slow the spread of the coronavirus People you know and trust are getting vaccinated The most affected are black women Black women, black women, black women Everyone has to keep everyone else safe The vaccines have all been through and met the necessary safety and quality standards Now that every American over the age of 16 is eligible to get the vaccine I want to talk about you getting yours. Getting a vaccine can protect not only you, but your loved ones too. The vaccine is safe. COVID vaccines are safe and effective. It's effective. It's easy. It's free! And it cannot change your DNA. The next step on the journey is yours. Our health is worth a shot. I beg the public to take this virus more seriously. The ultimate endgame of all this is vaccination
