About this episode

The United States military executed a precision strike on Iranian nuclear facilities at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan using B-2 Spirit stealth bombers and Massive Ordnance Penetrator bombs. Jennifer Griffin of Fox News reports the operation involved 14 specialized 30,000-pound munitions and 30 Tomahawk missiles launched from submarines, supported by an extensive aerial refueling bridge from Whiteman Air Force Base. While the Pentagon maintained strict operational security, the mission is being analyzed as a strategic signal to China and Pakistan rather than a standard disarmament effort.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio clarified that the strike followed a 60-day diplomatic window and aimed to degrade weaponization capabilities rather than force regime change. Meanwhile, Senator Lindsey Graham relayed messages from Benjamin Netanyahu labeling the Iranian leadership as religious Nazis, while Steve Bannon argued for a FARA investigation into Fox News for its pro-Israel stance. In domestic news, Speaker Mike Johnson is negotiating a SALT deduction increase to $40,000, and the Oversight Project uncovered evidence that an autopen may have been used to affix President Joe Biden's signature to executive pardons for Anthony Fauci and Mark Milley.

Representative Hank Johnson released a guitar parody of Hey Joe directed at Donald Trump, a performance that stands in stark contrast to his previous concerns about Guam capsizing. The episode features a unique donation of Middle Eastern currency from Sir Animus of Dogpatch and a harrowing account from Dame Kicking and Screaming regarding a strip-search by U.S. Customs. The program concludes with a comprehensive list of forty melon varieties and a Black Sabbath parody song titled War Pigs focused on the looming threat of nuclear conflict.

Massive Ordnance Penetrator, Top Gun Predictive Programming

The 30,000-pound Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) bomb is analyzed following reports of its potential use against the Fordow nuclear facility in Iran. Martha Raddatz of ABC News details the bomb's capabilities, noting it has been tested but never used in active warfare. Speculation arises regarding whether the mission's cinematic nature suggests predictive programming influenced by the recent Top Gun film series.

00:00 Thank you for your attention to this matter. The Hammering! We're broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas snow country here in FEMA Region Number 6. In the morning, everybody I'm Adam Curry and from northern Silicon Valley where you've heard of Bunkerbusters we're The Bunkerbusters I'm John C. Dvorak Crackpot and Buzzkill! In the mornin'! Ah...I see what you did there. Well, we learned a couple new terms These military guys are always funny with their acronyms We got the MOP

00:44 That was a new one. I didn't, let me play this to get us started. One issue about a possible attack is the 30 000 pound bomb that is part of the U.S arsenal it is known as the bunker buster although it has been tested it's never been used in war ABC's Martha Raddatz explains. Come on Martha! This bomb the massive ordinance penetrator or mop can only be...I think I saw one of those in a shop in Amsterdam actually I've seen these mops in these places. Yeah, you know what i mean? The 30-pound bomb can penetrate deep into rock and has been tested successfully numerous times but has never been used before on the battlefield the U.S. has used the smaller MOAB the 22 000 pound bomb with success

01:28 blowing up caves in Afghanistan. But if the president decides the US will hit the Fordow nuclear facility, it will be the first time it's used so there are some concerns about how effective it would be an actual strike since much is not known about Fordow but they would likely be several of these bombs launched because of the uncertainty and of course the U.S still wants to get all its assets into the region. Our thanks to Martha Raddatz for that a key concern about the bomb is the potential release of radioactive material, The International Atomic Energy Agency says the hazard will be limited to the areas that are directly around the nuclear sites yes so this has been the topic. So they didn't take any chances on whether this thing worked? They used 14 of them yeah just in case which as many think well you know

02:17 Yeah, which as many people noticed sounded very familiar. Some preconditioning was done. Your target is an impact point less than three meters wide The two-seat aircraft will paint the target with a laser bullseye The first pair were breached the reactor by dropping the laser guided bomb on an exposed ventilation hatch This will create an opening for the second pair. That's miracle number one The second team will deliver the kill shot And destroy the target That's miracle number two, of course that is from the latest Top Gun series and it kind of made me think

02:59 You know, this mop thing may not... who knows what they use? We weren't there. We didn't see it. There's no video Maybe this was all predictive programming to think make us think that they have one of these I don't even know! I don't know what it was maybe It wasn't mini nuke for all I know you know This sound that all kind of movie-esque the way this went down. Well, it was pretty interesting I will say that. Yes, and... I have to put there's a serious eclipse from last night Can i just she came back on it? Before you start before you start I just want people to know we are going to treat this like everything else

CHAPTER 02 / 53 Discussion

Email Subscription Bot Attack, Void Zero Security

A massive automated subscription bot attack targeted one of the hosts, flooding an inbox with over 500 confirmation emails. The incident necessitated a move to a professional email server managed by Void Zero to filter the influx of non-functional newsletters. This event mirrors a similar harassment campaign that occurred in 2020 during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic in Austin, Texas.

03:40 which will include some humor, because if we don't have a war it's all great. If we do who cares? We're not all gone so that's also good. Coincidentally... I'm not expecting that No neither am i. Coincidently this morning I got my own massive ordinance attack Do you remember? Oh, well maybe we should stop my idea here and listen to this because it already sounds more interesting than any clip. I don't know about that! Somebody unleashed a subscribe bot on me again... Oh really?! Now do you remember this happened previously? Oh yeah this happened- This was a nightmare for you A nightmare Yeah so we went to church I came back there were over 500 uh thanks for subscribing emails

04:29 Thank you very much. Oh, this is great! Hey reset your password hey confirm your email now these things they used to cost money they may be easier to do now with some large language model systems that can access SMTP. That's interesting yes maybe easier to do and luckily we have void zero so this is in and that's when I switched my email server to his care Because I'm like, bro. I can't handle this. This is blowing my system up. This is the problem with them? Yes. Yeah. I mean... I find this deplorable that you can do your own email yet need a pro. Well okay now luckily I had set up a couple of filters back in the days when this happened because essentially I can't subscribe to any more newsletters with my email address because

05:22 Still, for years I'm still getting newsletters that I can't unsubscribe from because half of these things don't work and the unsubscribe doesn't work. And they don't want to unsubscribe you. So I literally can't subscribe to a newsletter with my own email address so it did take a lot of those and shuttle them off and delete them but as i was thinking about it... Do you remember the time frame when this last happened? No, you don't. When someone was so mad at me because I was so wrong? I don't know... COVID! But this could be any... Oh it's COVID?! COVID when we were saying COVID was nonsense. I thought it was before that. Nope no cuz I remember exactly where we were in the house in Austin Newhouse and we had just moved there So this was right around COVID time and it was cold. I remember the whole thing. So is in 2019-2020 Yeah 2020

06:19 And so I thought you were in this place that you're in now longer than from 2020. No, no, I'm getting time compression problems here. Oh yeah well have to don't worry. When do ya get old? You can't remember why what?! It's okay! Time compression is correct So that means that people are getting pissed off at us which is what we do and there are people who are sad They're people sad. Sad about what? Well because we also started to deconstruct podcasts Oh that's so the poor... Hey, the podcasters should be considered big game. The podcasting is the thing

CHAPTER 03 / 53 Discussion

Podcast Deconstruction, Media Criticism Philosophy

The practice of deconstructing high-profile podcasts like those of Tucker Carlson and Dave Smith is defended against listener criticism. The hosts argue that podcasting has become a dominant media force that requires the same scrutiny as traditional news outlets. They emphasize that disagreement between co-hosts is essential for a productive program, citing a quote often associated with PBS NewsHour.

podcasting· tucker carlson· scott horton· dave smith· media deconstruction· pbs newshour

06:59 You know, I've gotten more notes. All the kids are doing it! Yes. Everybody's doing it. I have had notes telling us why don't you guys go after the podcasters? You're always deconstructing shows and media that nobody listens to. Exactly so what happens is when we deconstruct You know like Tucker Carlson or Scott Horton or any podcast? Smith your favorite we don't have anyone actually deconstructed Dave Smith, but we will and we'll get to it eventually But the point is banging people become oh yeah I'm doing that today people become so they feel that

07:38 Why are you shitting on other podcasters, man? Aren't you guys all on the same team?" It's not a club. Well yes because they feel an affinity and I understand that... It's not fraternity! They feel an affinity And they say well You guys all agreed on this and all agreed on that Yeah we don't agree on this But then Actually you and I don't agree on a lot of stuff You know what i heard someone say this morning When there is two people who agree All the time One of them is unnecessary Welcome to PBS NewsHour. Yeah, I love that! Wow that's something...that's a good way of putting it Of course we don't agree on everything nor should we for that very reason if two people agree all the time one of them is unnecessary

08:24 So it's not that we hate these guys or whatever, we think were better than them. No! We're deconstructing and... We do think we are better than many of them Well, of course we are but we have a different opinion about certain things And you know, we've gone through the... You know, your just shills like everybody else to the... So anyway, so we're gonna continue that because of that is this you write podcasting's a thing. So we it's the thing yes they all say is nothing it's the thing so it's important mainstream media is now saying it can I do one right now?

CHAPTER 04 / 53 Discussion

Rachel Blevins, Sarah Bills, Palantir Mosaic AI

Rachel Blevins and Sarah Bills of DDGeopolitics discuss the use of Palantir's Mosaic AI platform by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to monitor Iran. The report claims the software mapped data points to signal that Iran was closer to a nuclear weapon than previously thought. The analysis draws parallels between current intelligence claims and the weapons of mass destruction narrative used prior to the Iraq War.

rachel blevins· sarah bills· ddgeopolitics· palantir· mosaic ai· whitney webb· iaea· iran

09:08 Before you like it. You're gonna do a podcast right away podcast deconstruction yeah, you know the can you handle it? Can't have this one This is uh Yeah if you let me get back to my girl of course of course of course this is Rachel Blevins Okay Already this is good with the name Rachel Blevin yes sounds like some creation of Woody Allen Wow, that's a good one. So Rachel Blevins has on her podcast Sarah Bills, B-I-L-S, Sarah Bills and she is the cofounder of DDGeopolitics and DDGeopolitics they really were born out of necessity you see because no one was looking at geopolitics properly then so these two girls

09:58 young women and attractive young women, and they're doing the podcast. And they also have a video component which is good because I think that people will want to look at them it's... That can see the benefit there unlike us. And so Sarah Bills will introduce the topic here. It is about obviously about Iran about the nuclear bombs, which I think you and I agree is horse crap. But then she goes... She says something like wow! Not only are you new in the podcasting but you're also trying to replace somebody who's been around for quite a while and this was earth moving. I actually want to go back one week ago when you had Israel launch this Operation Rising Lion as they decided to name it

10:54 included the bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities and assassinations targeting Iranian military commanders and nuclear scientists. Because you actually have a really interesting report out, and I'll make sure that it's linked below in which you dive into how good old Palantir and their mosaic AI platform have been used by the UN's International Atomic Energy Agency over the last decade to map out data points in Iran and how it may have been used to signal this warning that Iran was closer than ever to creating a nuclear weapon. Can you start by kind of taking us through your findings and really what your reaction was to this information, especially given every—

11:40 Let her talk. Oh my God, this is the classic podcaster's dilemma. Just get to the question you don't need to be. What your reaction was to this information especially given everything that we're watching right now? Well everybody put your tinfoil hats on I am it's what they're painting me as right there crazy person and becoming the new Whitney Webb who got like painted up. She's the new Whitney Webb John! Everybody's calling her that. Everybody is calling her the new Whitney Webb, get your tinfoil hats on because she is here! ...to this information especially given everything we're watching right now... Well everybody put your tinfoil hats on I am- That's what they're painting me as right? The crazy person becoming the new Whitney Webb

12:27 who got like painted as the conspiracy theorist. I'm kind of obsessed with Palantir, I find it really fascinating and while i was doing the news on Iran and the bombings paying close attention to who they were assassinating they assassinated an AI scientist one of the top ai scientists in Iran he worked at the University of Tehran so I couldn't find any military or nuclear attachments to him so I was like why And a friend of mine, she sent me a tip that said they've been using this software since 2018 called Mosaic and that is owned and operated by Palantir. So this had all the elements I needed it had the nuclear strike it had Palantir it had Whitney Webb but they killed an AI guy...

13:11 Wow. So then I started really digging into it and I realized that it's the Mosaic software, which is a cover for Palantir, which is actually exactly like you said mapping out these data points stating that there are leaks or issues at certain sites that have never been known to have nuclear issues or nuclear weapons or nuclear material at those sites. It's very interesting and now you see kind of the IAEA saying, well we didn't say that they had nuclear weapons! We're just saying that they were in the process of developing them it was Mosaic that actually came out and said the uranium is enriched

13:47 beyond capacity and they have the enough enriched uranium to build nine bombs. The nine bomb theory is the new WMDs, so WMD was Iraq, 9-bomb theory is Iran. They had enough quote unquote your enriched uranium to assemble nine dirty bombs, which there's nothing that proves that. Now we're realizing that this is all because Iran was going to develop a nuclear weapon? And then sort of I'm wondering why were using predictive software to start wars. Hey it's over. For one thing they're not developing nine dirty bombs tomorrow

CHAPTER 05 / 53 Discussion

Local Sentiment, Fredericksburg Texas Political Climate

Observations from Fredericksburg, Texas, suggest a shift in local sentiment regarding President Donald Trump's foreign policy. While the area is traditionally supportive, some residents express frustration over the potential for new military conflicts. This local perspective is presented as a cross-section of a specific American demographic.

fredericksburg· texas· donald trump· voter sentiment· local politics

14:27 Dirty Bomb's just a bunch of crap put in, you know, in a regular bomb. In a bucket and it shot off into space. So why is she saying to develop nine dirty bombs? This is wrong! I don't know... Already we have analysis that has got at its base misinformation Well she says that we're using predictive software to start wars By the way, most people who were okay with President Trump are not okay with him right now. They do not like him. This is not what I voted for! I did not vote for war!" Well...I disagree with that. I disagree with it too but- No, and I disagree at the comment that you made which is most people. Okay most people in Fredericksburg Texas?

15:18 Which for me is most people. Yes, I know people don't like this Oh this is interesting Yeah You know I find the most interesting part of the show in the last year or so Is your analysis of the locals? Because it's fascinating because it is a cross-section of a certain type of American that does permeate the entire country. And, you know, I got a pretty standard fare around here. You don't get out of the house and talk to anybody. I have to buy food occasionally... water! I have to go out and get water unless I dehydrate.

Jennifer Griffin, B-2 Bomber Strike Logistics

Jennifer Griffin of Fox News provides a detailed breakdown of the U.S. military strike on Iranian nuclear sites, including Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. The operation involved B-2 bombers flying round-trip from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri, supported by an extensive air refueling bridge. The strike utilized 14 Massive Ordnance Penetrators and 30 Tomahawk missiles launched from submarines.

16:07 And, you know everyone's like what do you think? Well I... You should listen to the show because we're gonna figure out what we think on the show. But um and i would say well let's get your analysis clips and then we can dive let's take a deep dive into this topic John. There is couple of things here Now, one of the things...this woman I have to say this is from last night so it's wrong and there are some corrections that I want to make up front. The attack on Iran on the sites consisted of 30 Tomahawk missiles sent off from a submarine. The missiles took 1 hour and 45 minutes to hit.

16:51 a couple of the sites and they were launched in advance of the B-2 bombers, but the B-2 bomber strike was or to take place before them. This is an unbelievable complexity to this. The bomber would use the bunker bombers... The mops! And they were going to use 14 of them so there are seven B-2 bombers with an array of other fighters they dropped 14 bombs and those bombs are supposed to hit before the Tomahawk missiles which were launched an hour in 45 minutes before that so this is information that she doesn't have. Okay, and she's just guessing and she's so good at this! This woman is Jennifer Griffin...

17:41 A version of Harridge, the pixie girl. Oh! She's a gray-haired version... Oh yeah no she's on Fox the whole time isn't she? She's on Fox, she's the Fox version of this CIA plant. Yeah, she's Red Inn yes. She's Red Inn. But she's received, she hangs out at the Pentagon so I think she's read in mostly by the military guys. And she wasn't read in on this and nobody seems to have been read in on this. This was a...and she talks about that and I think that's the most phenomenal part about it they did not mention called The Magic Eight or The 8 Balls or some bullcrap

18:18 The eight congress people that are supposed to be informed with something like this. It's the furious five, no the... What are they called? They ate something yes and they didn't weren't told Jack and why weren't they told Jack because you can trust them. You can't trust him! They're working for both sides. Gang of 8 gang of eight. The gang of eight. They won't still talk don't They'll blow it. I think that Tulsi Gabbard was kept out of some of these meetings because, yes, I don't think that they is that they don't trust her. They don't trust the CIA and these intelligence agencies from making a phone call. Hey there's bombs coming in! Wouldn't you wouldn't you think also an analyst

19:05 came to me through someone else and said, you know this is also a big F.U. to the Brits and the CIA who have been destabilizing and mucking around in the region for decades which is absolutely yeah i thought that oh that was spot on when I heard that. I'm like, yeah exactly so no one was read in. I got military people saying B2's going to Guam that means it's Iran and then but the that was the diversion. Yeah there were people fabulous there were people even in the military who have ties

19:41 Who were looking at the diversion when the actual strike went the other way they went around the globe in the other direction That's what Jennifer talks about here, and she deconstructs this beautifully considering This is right after it happens so sure sir information. You know she was assuming They're gonna drop a couple of these mops when they dropped 14. She doesn't have that information yet, but let's listen to this. This is Iran bombing and this is Jennifer Griffin. It's notable how much deception was involved in this operation all eyes were looking west towards Guam and the B2s that took off late last night towards Guam. It's possible that, but if the distance there would suggest that the B-2s may have also flown east from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri remember the air refuelers many of them were placed in Europe and across the Middle East and that is what is known as an air refueling bridge and all those B-2s would require much air refueling in order to make it

20:40 They usually fly round-trip from Whiteman. And so, what we can say—and the president said this in his Truth Social post—is that a full payload of bombs, those massive ordnance penetrators, the 30,000 pound bunker buster bombs were dropped at Fordow. And as we have reported, there are two entrances to Fordow. So, at least two bombs at each two entrances, which suggests at least two B2's were involved over Fordow. My suspicion is that there were more, and then you have the two other sites—Natanz, which also has an underground enrichment facility. The Israelis had not been able to reach or take out that facility despite the last 10 days of bombing. And so now U.S. warplanes, likely another B-2 bomber, had dropped

21:28 mop the 30,000-pound bunker buster on Natanz. And then you also have Isfahan, a third site south of Tehran, and that is also a very significant enrichment facility. So those B-2 bombers—it's possible that as everybody was looking west for the B-2s flying towards Guam, in fact there was another package squadron of B-2s that were flying east from Whiteman. It's about a 15 hour trip from Whiteman in Missouri to the Middle East, to Iran and those bombers often fly round trip and takes them about 30 hours to get home. So there was another new term which cropped up which has been going for the past few days is The Package! The package... Yeah, the package This package included this package that I don't think i've heard that before using the term the package this is the package we put together yeah I can't say that I've heard it either There's news to me

CHAPTER 07 / 53 Discussion

Pentagon Operational Security, B-2 Stealth Bomber Fleet

The Pentagon maintained unprecedented operational security during the Iran strike, with no leaks occurring prior to the official announcement. The current status of the B-2 Spirit fleet is reviewed, noting that 17 aircraft remain in service as the military transitions to the B-21 Raider. The high cost and specialized maintenance of these stealth bombers are highlighted as unique American capabilities.

pentagon· operational security· b-2 spirit· b-21 raider· stealth bomber· whiteman air force base

22:25 So just as right after this happened, which was our time around three o'clock. Which I will mention donations stopped dead at 3 o'clock yesterday we didn't get... they dribble in usually all night interesting but at three o'clock PayPal had no donations after 315 Now either that PayPal was shuttered or the Iranians, you know, may have cut him off because they're one of the world's greatest hacking operations. But anyway, that's going with part two of her. The other thing I can point out Brett is this is an operation in the last 18 years since I've been at the Pentagon...I've never seen such operational security there was nobody speaking about this any of the preparations there was a complete lockdown almost a blackout of information for the last few days

23:19 I'm sitting here in the Pentagon right now. I can tell you, the hallways are empty and all of the information is coming right now out of The White House." That is a significant achievement because there was—there were no leaks about the timing. Now sometimes—I think those who—a lot of the flight trackers, the open-source intelligence flight trackers that flight radar did indicate some when the B2's took off from Whiteman but again of that in order to bomb, or it's—that's the ideal condition for something like a B-2 that is yes itself stealth but is still has to be escorted and encased any Iran were to put up any planes or there were any opportunities to fire on those B-2 which are such valuable and very very special planes. Only the U.S military has this kind of

24:28 weaponry and this capability no other country in the world could have carried off what occurred tonight. Well at least she gets the talking point in at the end good job! No one can do this, we're the best number one phone finger number one. That was Trump talking yeah for people's information out there we have 17 B-2s in service They cost about four billion dollars to make. When they stopped making them years ago, they moved to the B-21 and there were 19 built one of them crashed caused a bunch of money and I guess that another one was a lemon. Monday morning model. Monday morning B2 is no good

25:10 So there were plenty of plays to go around since they sent seven of them. So here we go with analysis, the end of her... By the way I was knowing that this happened, her analysis came right after it started. I was extremely impressed. I'm now always going to be impressed and when she shows up I'm gonna listen. That's how it was just pretty astonishing to me. She did all this, here we go. Yeah Jen you're exactly right on the operation security here and the fact that there were obviously some red herrings and in a world where decisions

CHAPTER 08 / 53 Discussion

Trump Two-Week Deadline, China Geopolitical Strategy

President Donald Trump's repeated "two-week" deadline is identified as a strategic deception used to mask the timing of the Iran strike. The military buildup, including the movement of the USS Nimitz and F-22 squadrons, was completed in half the time typically expected by planners. The underlying motive for the strike is theorized to be a message to China and Pakistan rather than a simple nuclear disarmament mission.

donald trump· camp david· uss nimitz· china· pakistan· j35 fighter· regime change

25:50 are made and the world digests the decision even before it's made because of social media, and everyone is watching everywhere. This was a pretty amazing operation when you start thinking that the president said within two weeks we are 2 days from within two weeks And this happens with a post on Truth Social and no other word really getting out ahead of that is pretty stunning. The other extraordinary thing, Brett is that I've spoken to past planners who have been involved in planning for this kind of mission for the past 20 years and they all told me to a person that it would normally take the US military about 30 days

26:34 all of their assets, their military assets into position. This took about two weeks if you count back to the meeting at Camp David on June 8th where I think this was first discussed it's been about 2 weeks since then and by by moving the USS Nimitz from the Pacific to the Middle East and putting all those destroyers in the Eastern Med, along with F-22 fighter squadrons which left Langley Air Force Base earlier this week. of those refuelers. Those refuelers are really the heroes also of this mission because it is again, the US and Israel are really among the only countries in the world that can refuel mid-flight and that is what allowed those B2 bombers to fly all the way from the continental U.S., from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri all the way to the Middle East without ever having to land

27:30 Yeah, so the other part of the deception was the two weeks thing. Here's a mini cut... I'll let you know in about 2 weeks? Within 2 weeks? I could answer that question better in 2 weeks! And I'l do this at some point over the next 2 weeks. I'll announce it over the next 2 weeks. Let me know in about 2 weeks?! It will be out in less than 2 weeks. So with that in mind, I went back to the clip we played on The Last Show and It actually sounds like President Trump had of course made up his mind, he knew what the plan was. It was good to go when it came out with this two week stuff which is just like wow everyone bought that. I'm more like oh two weeks okay we'll see what happens in 2 weeks not even thinking that that was

28:13 Lie bullshit a lie But when you listen to him in hindsight, he really does sound sincerely sad that he has to do it Listen to this clip striking Iranian nuclear facilities. Where's your You know seriously think I'm gonna answer that question will you strike the Iranian nuclear? component and what time exactly sir Sir would you strike it Would you please inform us so we can be there and watch? I mean, you don't know that. I'm gonna even do it You don't know I may do it. I may not do it. I mean nobody knows what I'm going to do I can tell you this that Iran's got a lot of trouble and they want to negotiate And I said why didn't you negotiate with me before all this death and destruction Why didn't you go I said the people why didn't you negotiate with me two weeks ago? He could have done fine

29:05 You would have had a country. It's very sad to watch this, I mean...I've never seen anything like it so you know everyone thought it was going to be the reverse? I didn't think so and they're telling me gotta do something, you got to negotiate and at the end last minute they said no we're not gonna do that and then they got hit remember 60 days and then came the 66th he sounds sincerely like sad that he had this all planned and had to do it I think he is. He's sincere when he says that, you know, peace guy... Now knowing that this really since 1992 we've been hearing about the days weeks they're almost there it's coming... Oh yeah there was a great meme floating around which went something like this in 1220 the Persian Empire collapsed under these such-and-such and they were just two weeks away from a nuclear bomb

30:03 So now what is not mentioned and of course, there's no clips of it but Pakistan was sending their Chinese J35 fighters over to Iran. I think that the Chinese moves you know they had some big Cargo planes flying in I think they were gearing up and that's what made the decision go quicker because I still believe with certainty That this is about sending a message to China and not about some fictitious or whatever, Fata Morgana of nuclear bombs. Because I mean this has been going on forever this talk and at the same time if there's no more nuclear capability well then we're done right? Then Iran doesn't have to... Israel doesn't have to do anything We don't have to worry about it BB doesn't have to hold up pictures of bombs at the UN because its gone its done

CHAPTER 09 / 53 Discussion

Al Jazeera, Trump Truth Social Memo Meme

An Al Jazeera news report is critiqued for failing to recognize the humor in Donald Trump's Truth Social post following the Iran strike. The post concluded with the phrase "Thank you for your attention to this matter," which is identified as a parody of corporate and bureaucratic memos. The hosts compare the phrasing to mundane office notices regarding facility closures.

al jazeera· truth social· donald trump· memo· bureaucratic humor

30:57 So that does kind of erase that whole thing. It's gone now, you can't use that anymore. Can I interrupt for one second and play a clip? Yeah This was...I was when this war started coincidentally i was watching live Al Jazeera Mm-hmm I felt like getting Al Jazeera clips Okay And there is something that took place with Trump's post That I don't think anybody recognized as humor His initial post, I thought was done as a form of humor that it just was lost on all media. And so I have the Al Jazeera clip this is the Trump truth social post and this is the Al Jazeera guy reading the thing he missed the joke everybody seems to miss the joke except...I don't know me

31:54 And not that I'm that great, but this was so obvious to me. But can you play this clip? So here's what the US president has said in the last few minutes. U.S. President Donald Trump posted on his social media account saying we have completed our very successful attack on the three nuclear sites in Iran including Fordow Natanz and Esfahan all planes are now outside of Iran airspace a full payload of bombs was dropped on the primary site for dough All planes are safely on their way home. Congratulations to our great American warriors, there is not another military in the world that could have done this Now is the time for peace Thank you for your attention to this matter

32:34 It's like a memo. You got it too! A memo, yeah... Yeah he's got the memo meme Thank you for your attention to this matter and nobody has commented on this little phrase that he dropped in there to make it seem like a bureaucratic piece of, y'know... Wow Yeah, that's interesting. It's like a word to the wise I mean all these kinds of things you get if you ever worked in a company or an agency or anything You have these memo writers that put shit like that in their memos and it's very insulting Thank you for your attention to this matter

33:14 the men's washroom will be closed for the next five days. Exactly! Thank you for your attention to this matter, I hope this message finds you well. Please do not flush anything down the toilets that does not belong there thank you for your attention to this matter and totally so Since you played the Fox Lady, this is what Steve Bannon's big beef was. Was? Was! Sorry I'm speaking Dutch now. Yeah and I'm glad you got this because I didn't get to hear any of this stuff and did you get it this morning or...? Unfortunately, because of our time zones I didn't get any good stuff from you. I watched a lot of stuff this morning but i didn't get any clips. Well no, I have the clips from this morning thanks to the Jones Brothers Syndicate so we will definitely play some of that but first... This is Bannon

CHAPTER 10 / 53 Discussion

Steve Bannon, Fox News Foreign Agent Claims

Steve Bannon criticizes Fox News, suggesting the network should be investigated under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) for its pro-Israel stance. Bannon argues that the focus should be on Beijing rather than Iran and expresses frustration with the "phony sense of urgency" regarding regime change. The discussion also touches on Bannon's standing within the MAGA movement and past rumors regarding Obama-era cash payments to Iran.

steve bannon· fox news· fara· israel· beijing· maga· barack obama

34:03 And he blames this all on Fox News. We can, listen you can and people on Fox oh it's good versus evil it's good yo dude John Adams said if you want to go uh you know don't go abroad for monsters just like there are monsters all over the world we do the good and evil everywhere everywhere everywhere is that what we're going to do? It's good versus evil let's go I would think if you're gonna do good versus evil and kind of weigh them up By the way the repetitiveness in this clip is not me editing that's him Maybe we should be marching on Beijing. Let's roll, let's do it! I don't hear any voices there for that It's interesting Is Lao Bajing not worthy of that? Just because they're Chinese and not worthy of that is that what it is? So he see I mean is he upset that that this it's not known that this was about China or This why I don't think so okay. Is that what it is

34:54 Is that what it is? No, I think a major FARA investigation should take place at Fox News. I believe that thoroughly. Think we need to see if they represent the foreign government as an agent I think he's saying that Israel is... What? He thinks Fox should be registered as a foreign agent for Israel. Yes, yes! They go check the cell phones see the data checked the emails what was going back and forth what they were pushing on the American people what are they pushing on the American people where this information come from i think it has to happen You can't have somebody cheerleading you on to war. You have to sit there... We haven't been cheerleading against doing it, what we're saying first off number one, we believe it should be done right? We agree that the mullahs should not get nuclear weapons. We believe there's many paths to do that President Trump was pursuing other paths as he was from the first term None of those path-paths Assad were going on the path to kinetic warfare none of them okay none of them

35:53 But we got jammed up because last Thursday night had to do it, had to do it. Had to do it, had to do it, had to do it, had to do it and then we did with the sense of urgency the phony sense of urgency head upsale now any regime change regime change regime change gotta do it gotta do it you're not MAGA You're not Trump. You're not team Trump. You're not Team Trump a look bro We've been in these trenches with Trump along time. We know who teammates are and who areva stays So he's channeling George Bush somehow That's what is that's an interesting point to catch because he sounds a little like you know, I got it. Got to do it gotta do it. Yeah, no at George No, yeah And again, I mean to me It's it's like wow this is so obvious what this was about You know, it's still like go away China. You have no business here and look what we can

36:52 Trump had, you know, taco. Taco! I was calling Trump taco. Trump always chickens out and so he had to show it he had to show that oh no i'm not going to chicken out i'm gonna blow up these these uh sand bunkers hmm So well let's stop for a second because Bannon... Let's face it um Bannon is on the outs Oh yeah. He's been on the out since Trump started, since 2020 actually even before that once he got thrown out of the White House by one of the bad actors it was Kelly or one of these guys they got rid of him as soon as they could and then you know kind of is like a loose cannon I think he's anti-Israel

37:43 more than he is anti-war and he has, uh... He just has an abrasive personality of sorts. I mean, I think as an entertaining podcaster but it's everything's all you know, it's going on. You know this kind of weird excitement that he's always got like there's some conspiracy going on constantly and he's the only one who can identify it I don't like the guy. What this is taking our theory into account, you don't like the guys fine yeah he's too annoying for me to watch long periods of just like okay got it and then but he's team Trump i guess he says that we've been Team Trump for a long time bro

38:37 Well, he thinks he is Team Trump. Somebody sent me a note when I was bitching about one of his clips and they said with Bannon saying we got this guy, we got Hexithin, and we've got this guy, we've got that guy in it. And the note came in says what Bannon's saying is MAGA not WE means MAGA. Hmm...and then I'm thinking as a counter to that is that what? Bannon is MAGA?! He represents MAGA, he is the poster boy for MAGA? I don't think so. Well, HE thinks so! Or that's what he needs to justify his stuff. I credit the guy for having an entertaining show, a good podcast So taking into account that this has really been about China for a long time it kind of puts the pellets of billions of dollars in cash into perspective. I can totally see the Obama administration going to Iran and saying

39:32 You know, we'll give you money. The Chinese got money? We've got more money. We'll give it to your cash. We put it on pallets will bring it in just don't do business with China." There is a clip going around I didn't get its on Twitter floating around from some screwball show as some woman who's supposedly ex-CIA and that palette of cash was some sort of blackmail They had nothing to do with China. Maybe, maybe... Anyway I don't think that we're giving people money to not do business with China it doesn't make sense and we're not gonna give it to them that's for sure there's something else going on with that pallet of money You are not gonna give them credit for being smart Definitely not.

CHAPTER 11 / 53 Discussion

Lindsey Graham, Benjamin Netanyahu, Religious Nazis Label

Senator Lindsey Graham appears on Meet the Press to relay messages from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu following the U.S. strike. Graham describes the Iranian leadership as "religious Nazis" and emphasizes Israel's gratitude for the military action. The hosts criticize Graham's rhetoric and point out the perceived hypocrisy regarding the bombing of civilian infrastructure.

lindsey graham· benjamin netanyahu· bibi· meet the press· kristen welker· gaza· nazis

40:30 Because he was up all night in front of his monitor. Whoa, it's Lindsey Graham everybody you praised the president's decision Overnight and I know you just got off of the phone with Prime Minister Netanyahu What did he say to you about this moment? Well first about the president's decision. I thought it was bold quite frankly brilliant militarily Necessary and most importantly effective so well done mr. President to your your team and our military's fantastic operation that has substantially degraded, I think Iran's nuclear program. So I talked to Bibi just a few minutes ago- Oh so...I was talking to Bibi just a few moments ago and I said hey Bibi! Hey Bibi! No please! I'm Lindsey Graham! Really? Really Graham?! I think Iran's nuclear program. So i talked to Bibi just a few minutes ago and I said what would you like me to say? Bibi? Listen to this! What would you like me to say Bibi!?

41:23 If you want to know someone who's under the influence of Israel, it's this guy. He can't even pronounce it. It is this guy he is definitely... What would you like me to say? This guys comic is comedic! Just a few minutes ago and I said what would you like me to say Because I have no mind of my own, BB. What would you like me to say? I'm from South Carolina! I'm a military industrial complex state. What would you like me to say?" He said tell the American people Israel is profoundly grateful for all we do for Israel and very grateful to President Trump for what he ordered last night Two messages...he wanted me to urge the Iranian people in this madness

42:10 Take this regime down and have a better life for yourselves. And be part of the region in a new and different way." And second, he wanted me to tell the American people Israel's not going to live this way anymore. They're not gonna live under threat from Iran anymore. Last night they were attacked The early morning hours of today, after the attack by President Trump Israel fired ballistic missiles into Israel wounding Israeli citizens. 24 have been killed this regime is not going to be tolerated by Israel is what he told me.

42:48 And then in this next clip, he literally parrots BB his friend's good friend Bibi Netanyahu with the same words. Okay so let me follow up with you on that point Senator because Prime Minister Netanyahu has signaled... Say what? This is Meet The Press with Kristen Welker yes yes this is from meet Meet the press, exactly. By the way

43:37 It was not a hospital attack. It was the building next to the hospital that was an intelligence building, but okay Lindsey... Israel's made a decision... Wait stop there! And by the way There is a little kind of duplicitousness here because we, you know the Israelis have bombed a bunch of hospitals in Gaza and nobody wants to bring that point up because the hospitals were used as cover for some, you know they use civilian cover for their operations. What and how is that different than an intelligence operation next to a hospital? It's not! But it's Lindsey Graham.

44:24 They have less capability today than they did yesterday, but they're still religious Nazis. They want to purify Islam... That is literally Netanyahu talk! Religious Nazis? They're Nazis?! I have a- this is very strange comparison to make Yeah...? I mean the Nazis are just was very specific Yeah, it's the National Socialist Party of Germany in the 19th... late 20s. Actually mid 30s mostly. They're religious Nazis! Graham is a... The whole thing is ridiculous You know I also want to reintroduce the idea that all this is theater and it's like the Ayatollah who ditched himself into a bunker he's the only one who put himself in a safe place where they're killing all the generals and AI guys and nuclear scientists

CHAPTER 12 / 53 Discussion

Ayatollah Khamenei, Iranian Regime Theater Theory

A theory is proposed that the recent strikes and assassinations of Iranian officials might be a coordinated effort between the U.S., Israel, and the Ayatollah to purge hardline military elements. This "theater" would serve to rearrange Iranian power structures and remove Chinese influence from the region. The hosts suggest that the Iranian leadership and Western intelligence may be working toward shared goals behind the scenes.

ayatollah khamenei· qasem soleimani· regime change· israel· china· conspiracy

45:16 The possibility still exists in my mind that this is all a setup to get rid of all these threatening military guys that were threatening the regime. As we say in the old country, they're all playing under the same hat? They're all playing on this same hat. And the, from Soleimani when they would Trump killed him on it's all been just getting rid of these guys one after the other so the is possible that I told is actually a good guy and we like to get China out of there too. They don't want China sorry? Well the Ayatollah was against nuclear weapons

46:00 He was against, he's been publicly been against it the whole time until... I mean this whole thing could be a huge setup. Very possible. Designed to get rid of the nukes, get rid of the Chinese, get rid of the military guys that want to run the country anyway, get rid of all of them and really rearrange Iran for the benefit of the guys, the conspirers who have been working with Israel in United States all along as people in the Mideast we brought it up on our show numerous times All the time they say this No no America and Iran working together all the time They say it all the time. Why at least we should keep that in play because I think it's still in play Let's go to our Secretary of State Marco Rubio this this I'm liking ruby Oh more and more by the way, this is the only guy that smile anymore He's not funny. Yes No humor humorless Marco he is and he's probably the only voice that matters right now because

CHAPTER 13 / 53 Discussion

Marco Rubio, Diplomatic Offers to Iran

Secretary of State Marco Rubio details the diplomatic efforts made toward Iran prior to the military strike, including a 60-day window for negotiations. Rubio explains that the U.S. offered a deal for a civil nuclear program that would require Iran to import enriched material rather than producing it domestically. He asserts that the strike was not a regime change move but a specific mission to degrade nuclear weaponization capabilities.

marco rubio· state department· face the nation· margaret brennan· oman· uranium enrichment· diplomacy

47:01 He runs the State Department, he can talk. And he's the head of intelligence or not? Well, yeah, well, he's the head of that. Yeah, he runs a lot. He runs a lot. He runs a lot of stuff. Well here is on Face The Nation with Margaret. Mr Secretary I know it has been an intense few hours but so far it does not appear that Iran has yet retaliated against the United States what intelligence do you have at this point about their capabilities to respond, the intent of their proxies. Is there any kind of command and control structure left to activate them? Yeah well we'll see what Iran decides to do I think they should choose the route a piece We have been...we've done everything..We have bent over backwards okay To create a deal with these people Steve Woodcuff has traveled the world extensively met with them Well not even met with them Met through the Omanis with them and discussed back-and-forth

47:57 We even put an offer to them that they wanted elements of it in writing and we offered. It's a very generous offer, by the way. We've done it and we're prepared right now if they call right now and say we want to meet let's talk about this. We're prepared to do that The president has made that clear from the very beginning his preferences is to deal with this issue diplomatically but he also told them we had 60 days to make progress or something else was going to happen and I think they thought they were dealing with a different kind of leader like the kinds of leaders they've been playing games with for the last 30 or 40 years, and they found out that's not the case. So this mission was a very precise mission it had three objectives three nuclear sites it was not attack on Iran it was not an attack on the Iranian people

48:36 This wasn't a regime change move. This was designed to degrade and or destroy three nuclear sites related to their nuclear weaponization ambitions, and that was delivered on yesterday what happens next will now depend on what Iran chooses to do next if they choose the path of diplomacy we're ready We can do a deal that's good for them the Iranian people and good for the world If they choose another route then there'll be consequences for that So right away, and I'm quite sure that there's still elements within the military-industrial complex who are like well no we don't want diplomacy. We can't have that so they've launched this and it comes to me through the typical channels and these people don't even know they're doing it themselves

49:17 Like, well you know their trucks and stuff was getting out. It might not be over there may be some stuff still left we didn't get it all it didn't work What is the US assessment of how much nuclear material at those sites was moved prior to the attack? There has been talk for days about bombing a Ford out Well, look we don't know one will know for sure for days But I doubt they moved it because you really can't move anything right now And they can't move anything right now inside of Iran. I mean the minute a truck starts driving somewhere The Israelis have seen it and they've targeted it and taken it out So our assessment is we have to assume that that's a lot of 60% enriched uranium buried deep under the ground there in Esfahan? And that really is the key what they should do with that

49:58 is they should bring it out of the ground and turn it over. Multiple countries around the world will take it and down blend it, that's what they should do with that. And what they should do is say we're not gonna have any enrichment capability in our country instead what we're gonna have as a civil nuclear program like dozens of countries around the world have where we build reactors to create electricity and we import enriched material. I'm not gonna get all the details on the offers but there are other avenues here that would be acceptable to them. Where do we import enriched materials from? Who does that is that, is that us I mean who's the boss of the enriched material that he references. We build reactors to create electricity and we import enriched material and we've made very general...I'm not gonna get all the details of the offers but there are other avenues here that would be acceptable to them if that's what they wanted it what they want is a civil peaceful nuclear program

50:48 The route has always been there. The problem is that everything they're demanding has nothing to do with a peaceful program They are all the things you would want if you want to retain the option of one day weaponizing the program Okay, it which has been their clear intent to me that's indisputable I follow this issue for 15 years including the intelligence on it for 15 years Okay, I have followed it and the intelligences are assessments and sometimes they've been wrong I've seen them revised multiple times these guys want a nuclear weapon one day. Okay, so that point. It isn't going to happen, not while Donald Trump is president." One day he said oops Marco don't give it away Let's address the regime change, because that's another thing that just got launched into the ether. As far as I know not by the administration, not by the president but I think by people who are very upset and compare this to the weapons of mass destruction, the aluminum tubes we're being lied to, we're all going to die there's gonna be a war Trump promised us no war, never ending wars

51:48 And with that comes regime change. You've said this is not about regime change, but you were describing a regime that you have said for decades I mean for upwards of 40 years has chanted death to America hasn't all the things you just described Isn't it diplomatic deal with them? A lifeline aren't you offering to negotiate with the same people you're saying did all these things so therefore are you actually looking for regime change That misses the point. I don't like that they chant those things, but one thing is that they chant those things and another thing is that they chant those things and They have a terror proxies are all over the world And they have long-range missiles that can reach to United States one day and they have the potential To be one step away from nuclear weapon

52:31 Yeah, well one day could be tomorrow. Could be a week from now could be a month from now You know all it takes is the flip of a switch by the way They're not gonna broadcast that to the world By the time we figure out that they're doing it you have all the pieces in place Okay It's like I'm here and ammunition it only takes one second We have other targets so we can hit but we achieved our objective The primary targets we were interested into the ones that were struck tonight and devastating fashion They're ones that were struck. I guess yet tonight over there their time and devastating fashion And we've achieved that objective F A F O

CHAPTER 14 / 53 Discussion

Strait of Hormuz, Global Oil Shipping Routes

The strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz is discussed in the context of global oil prices and Chinese energy needs. Secretary Marco Rubio warns that any Iranian attempt to block the strait would primarily harm China, which relies heavily on the shipping route. The discussion also notes the ongoing trade between Iran and Russia, specifically regarding the supply of military drones.

strait of hormuz· oil prices· china· russia· drones· marco rubio· diplomacy

53:20 These things got rocked and then we left and we were out of their airspace We were over the ocean before they figured it happened. There are plenty of other targ, we don't want to do that That's not our preference. We want peace deals with them And that's up to them to decide I got rocked! Rocked him! He got rocked So...and now we get down to the nitty-gritty because this is really what the issue is about if you look at The price of oil who determines the price of oil who was selling the oil? Who was selling the oil mainly to China or any type of energy, stuff, coal oil gas etc. And the shipping routes which is what we use when we sell our stuff and we control the oil. You said defend American interests with United States military take action to keep for example The transit point the Strait of Hormuz open if there are attacks on oil installations with the United States consider that a direct act by the state even if it was carried out

54:19 Well, I'm not going to take options away from the president. That's not something we're talking about right now in terms of being immediate But if they do that the first people that should be angry about it are the Chinese government Because they take a lot of their oil comes through there So they should be the first ones that are saying if they mined the Straits of Hormuz The Chinese are gonna pay a huge price and every other country in the world is gonna pay a huge price We will too don't have some impact on us It'll have a lot more impact on the rest of the world a lot more impact on the rest of the world. It would be suicidal move on their part, because I think that the whole world will come against them if they did that. Will the Chinese and Russians stop trading with Iran? You have to ask the Chinese and the Russians. I mean they're getting you know that there well The Russians are getting a bunch of these, you know These drones that they're using or coming from Iran exactly coming from Iran So I saw the foreign minister instead of meeting with Steve Woodcuff is headed to Moscow to meet with Putin which was a pre-scheduled meeting which is fine, you know They can go meet and you know The the Russians at the end of the day, I mean they buy drones from them but

55:16 Look, this is very simple. We want to have an agreement with them a diplomatic agreement in which they have civil nuclear program but are not enriching and don't have weapons grade material or weapon capabilities laying around that's that simple I thought it was so hilarious on DH Unplugged which airs live every Tuesday and you can listen to it on the podcast on Wednesdays That Horowitz had after 10 years pulled all of his clients out of oil and then this happens Oil spikes. Oh wait, crapola you know? Okay you're back sorry about that could you hear me though? So the... unfortunately I wish there was a clip of Rubio from this morning where he says this makes his comment about meeting face to face and not passing notes back and forth and having all these middlemen like third graders

56:16 And it was just a very funny comment because I guess we haven't really had a meeting with Iran. No, no! It's always they have to write down on the note and the Omanis take it to another suite in the hotel and then they take a note back? Yeah that's bull crap. We can't do that. Well so here is the final message from our Secretary of State When did the President make this decision because he said he was giving two more weeks for diplomacy on Friday and on Friday these jets took off Well, the president retains the opportunity to pull out of this at any moment including 10 minutes before. But the president ordered options... Look! The decision in my view was made when he wrote a letter to the Supreme Leader and said over the next 60 days we want to do a deal with you and solve this problem of nuclear weaponization. We want to do it peacefully. If after sixty days we don't see progress or isn't solved, we have other alternatives He made that very clear I think what some people are struggling with here is that today we have a president who does what he says he's going to do And that's what happened here That was the point

57:16 That was the point. For various reasons. I've enjoyed him as a Secretary of State, you know He's entertaining he could be funny if he wanted to be we've note We know that from the past but he decided to go with this very serious Style do you know who was you know? Who was a bad choice our ambassador to the United Nations

CHAPTER 15 / 53 Discussion

Dorothy Shea, UN Ambassador Israel Gaffe

Ambassador Dorothy Shea, serving as the U.S. representative to the United Nations, is criticized for a verbal gaffe in which she accidentally attributed "chaos and terror" to Israel instead of Iran. The hosts suggest this mistake might be a "Freudian slip" or a moment of unintended truth. The segment also notes that Elise Stefanik was originally considered for the role but remained in the House of Representatives.

dorothy shea· elise stefanik· united nations· israel· iran· gaffe

57:56 Wait, who is the who's that cuz Stefanik was gonna be the ambassador which I thought would have been a good choice. I think it is No, no she got kicked back Ambassador UN let me see who became it Madam ambassador What's her name? Oh Dorothy Shay man Dorothy you need to update your picture Wikipedia. So what's wrong with her? I've never heard of her well let's see, I know they wanted Stefanik in there but then they didn't have enough people in the House of Representatives they didn't want to let you know Kathy Hochul appoint some Democrat and so they had to keep her in the House of Representatives and they pulled her nomination she was you know she wanted to do the job. Let's see what did she do previously

58:53 I think it's just a stand-in. Yeah, well she's no good listen to this gaffe! Israel's government has also spread chaos terror and suffering throughout the region What? Iran's government has also spread chaos terror and suffering throughout the region She does a do over like like it's gonna get edited out Oh No, you said Israel you meant Iran yeah Iran's government has also spread chaos terror Or is it just the truth coming out? Well, I have a clip similar to that in terms of somebody...just the stupidest thing. I mean that's like saying you know the vaccine gas we heard during COVID

CHAPTER 16 / 53 Discussion

Mahmoud Khalil, AOC Columbia University Protests

Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University graduate and legal resident, is highlighted following his involvement in pro-Palestinian protests and subsequent detention. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was seen accompanying him, which the hosts describe as a poor political move. Speculation is raised regarding Khalil's sudden adoption of the kaffiyeh and his role as a potential political plant.

mahmoud khalil· aoc· columbia university· palestine· deportation· kaffiyeh

59:40 Instead of saying this virus is killing people, this vaccine is killing people. The vaccine is killing people It's a truth coming out thing man that what it is So they were just to change the topic for a second we're good I'm sure we get back to the Iran conflagration but so they let this guy the guy that was in Louisiana Mahmoud Khalil Yes yes and what a political move with AOC walking out of the airport with him Oh, it's horrible. AOC is just digging a hole for herself. Yeah that's not a good look So they had this quote again from Al Jazeera and you have to listen carefully to what he says This is him yacking away It's a very short clip How long is this clip? Who am I looking for here? It says HKAH Ah yes okay L I'm sorry 27 second clip

1:00:37 Listen carefully to his words. Khalil took part in protests at Columbia University, one of many across college campuses last year in support of Palestinian people. The US government is funding this genocide and Columbia University is investing in this genocide This is why I was protesting This is why I will continue to protest with every one of you. Not only if they threaten me with detention, even if they would kill me, I would still speak up for Palestine." Yeah! I thought that was interesting too... Yeah even if he killed me, I'm gonna speak up. Keep speaking How does that work?

1:01:16 Now, what is going to happen with this guy? Because it was because of a judge another federal judge that they said oh you can't do this. I love how the Guardian positions it let me see if I still have that article The Guardian just like continues... Oh yeah here it is about The Guardian Columbia graduate and legal US resident I like the way they always do that. Yeah, and they keep saying that but you know even a green card there are kind of restrictions on that You can't do certain things including just getting arrested... I still think the guy's some sort of plant

1:01:59 Well, we'll see. Well he didn't have the kiffier before but now he does. Yeah you never used to wear that thing and then as soon as he comes out of jail they're walking him all over the place where did it come from? He's wearing it all over like he had in jail No AOC gave it to him. Did she give it to him? Yeah hello Khalil. Yeah she was wearing one I'm like Roy Kent Let me see. Talking about people like her, let's listen to this clip. This is from Fox.

CHAPTER 17 / 53 Discussion

Emily Austin, Gen Z Media on Iran

Gen Z journalist Emily Austin appears on Fox News to discuss the domestic political reaction to the Iran bombing. She frames the event as a "litmus test" for moral clarity, citing opposition from politicians like Elizabeth Warren and Rashida Tlaib as proof of the mission's success. Austin also predicts that Iran's retaliation will likely take the form of a cyber attack rather than a direct military engagement.

emily austin· gen z· fox news· elizabeth warren· rashida tlaib· cyber attack· fara

1:02:38 bombing naysayers. This is about the people that are going to be bitching and moaning about it What people say, we've already seen AOC come out and say you know this was terrible what is happening this is an escalation You know when I was a surgery resident I always learned from everybody I learned who to be like And I learned who not to be like So I think this is gonna be a very similar moment where the masks are gonna come off We're gonna able see in this moment of moral clarity who is morally clear and who is confused. Yeah, and I'm wondering Emily Austin if Emily Austin is still with us? I'm wondering Emily the people you talked to was there anybody who was disappointed? Anybody said You know what there's probably a better way to do this than the United States going in and knocking out their nuclear plans my guess is probably of those that you came in contact with no but but you tell me

1:03:28 No, that was a trick question but the answer is no. I feel like the best proof that tonight's mission was ultimately a success is we can see who's upset about it Elizabeth Warren AOC Rashida Elon Chuck Schumer this is the litmus test On a more serious note, a reoccurring theme that we're discussing tonight is what can we expect in retaliation. Now I want to point out needless to say that Iran's military—that militarily they've been weakened. However, I think it's important that we take note of what they are capable of doing in retaliation. I believe that what they can do is a cyber strike, cyber attack something of that sort because militarily they're going to need a couple of weeks to recoup, re-strategize. They are very weak right now but like everyone else said and i'll echo it they're not gonna let their ego be humiliated on such a public stage and meet at the negotiating table. I think we know they'd rather die a martyr than take that route. Investigate That Woman FARA Investigation

1:04:27 Right away. She's she's on the gun a little time this big this gal and she's a she also wearing a giant Cross of David or David star. Yeah, there you go. And she's uh Well, she doesn't hide it and she's a... Yeah, but that's not the same as filling out your Farrah form. Gen Z journalist and she likes to brag about that too. Well ultimately this is uh maybe that's part of why he was sounded so sad but this is a big gamble for the president because of his promise of no forever wars which has kind of morphed into No Wars ending the stupid wars

CHAPTER 18 / 53 Discussion

Midterm Election Risks, Patriotism Narrative

The potential impact of the Iran strike on the upcoming midterm elections is debated. While some see the military action as a risk to Trump's "no forever wars" promise, others believe the successful execution of the mission will trigger a wave of patriotism beneficial to the administration. The hosts reiterate their thesis that the conflict is primarily a strategic move against China.

midterm elections· donald trump· patriotism· china· political risk

1:05:09 Either this ends it or it kicks off something more and that becomes very irritating. It could be irritating, but I just... And that would be very bad for the midterms But if we go with the thesis that we ourselves have developed which is The China Thesis and The Rigged Theater thesis, it should be fine. Well yeah but they've got a...it's at certain point why doesn't he just tell the American people this is you know China is the issue here? We can't use this- I don't think he wants to tell China! Oh like China stupid?!

1:05:50 I'm like, huh? I wonder what that was about. Well maybe you have something there but maybe the... it's just Or he wants China to think that he is stupid? I am sure they know he is not stupid Well, I don't know that they know that because the Democrats keep saying that he is. He's stupid and he's Hitler and he's a dictator and all of this stuff it's got to be confusing. Well if you... Not everybody has some clarity like we might have in our producers all seem to have where they're not freaking out about everything so there are groups who do obviously and you have your people

1:06:29 in Fredericksburg. Cornhole, Texas. Cornhole? Whatever I'm sorry. Wow! Wow! Wow! It's just Podunk it's a podunk area. Libtard Berkeley give me a break Are you wearing your kiffier when you go shopping so you don't get accosted? Birkenstocks. Well there is that... Your birkenstocks But i was just saying its definitely a risk with the midterms on the way. And I think it does feel to me... But it also triggers a sense of patriotism with a lot of people, when you saw this whole thing take place with the secretiveness and how well it was executed and in-and-out. I think it turns a lot of people into patriots. Merca! Merca baby, merca! Exactly. And I think that is good for the midterms

CHAPTER 19 / 53 Discussion

SALT Deduction, Mike Johnson Tax Bill

Negotiations over the "Big Beautiful Bill" center on the State and Local Tax (SALT) deduction limit. Speaker Mike Johnson is reportedly pushing to raise the deduction cap from $10,000 to $40,000, while the Senate prefers to maintain the current limit. The hosts suggest a compromise at $20,000 is likely as the deadline for the bill approaches.

salt deduction· mike johnson· tax cuts· state and local taxes· house of representatives

1:07:27 I will also say that this, at the timing of this maybe to drag a few people over the line for the big beautiful bill feels like that was definitely consideration. Yeah i've been listening more chit chat about the big beautiful bill and a lot it is over the salt issue That seems to be last thing just how much you'll able to deduct So, if you recall back in the first Trump administration when there was a tax cut for the rich but we had our... They screwed the rich. They screwed the rich because of SALT, you could only deduct up to $10,000 in state and local taxes which includes mortgages and everything in between

1:08:12 and state tax the whole thing. And $10,000 was a limit and rich people that deduction was hundreds of thousands of dollars in some cases if you're really loaded but they dropped it to 10,000 which screwed all the rich people that had this counted on that deduction so Mike Johnson wants to raise that to 40 But the Senate wants to keep it at 10. And there's some sunset provision that's all about, well it will end in 2028 and you know that there are all kinds of shenanigans going on but doesn't seem like it's about much else. There is not much else though! It seems only be down to the salt I don't think there was much else they're still arguing about. I think if we do a compromise its gonna come out at twenty and then they'll sign it off. Best price.

1:09:06 Yeah, so we'll see. I mean we'll see what happens in the next between now and Thursday What we need... We need like the Epstein files to drop or a show business scandal. We need something else Show business scandals not gonna cut it. Epstein files could yeah But there's always stories like this disgusting story which could get some attention It's probably a good time for it to come out during the war So it doesn't get as much attention The dead babies in Ireland story? They used this as a burial ground. A baby died almost every fortnight There are decades of secrets buried here, so many tales of pain and anguish Today is the first glimmer of hope finally for hundreds of families throughout Ireland and further afield that Tuam here in County Galway will finally give up its dead

Tuam Mother and Baby Home, Ireland Mass Grave

An excavation begins at the site of the former Tuam Mother and Baby Home in County Galway, Ireland, where nearly 800 children were found buried in a sewage tank. Historian Catherine Corliss uncovered the deaths, which occurred between 1925 and 1961 under the care of Catholic nuns. The discovery has led to a state apology and a national inquiry into the treatment of unmarried mothers and their children.

1:09:06 Yeah, so we'll see. I mean we'll see what happens in the next between now and Thursday What we need... We need like the Epstein files to drop or a show business scandal. We need something else Show business scandals not gonna cut it. Epstein files could yeah But there's always stories like this disgusting story which could get some attention It's probably a good time for it to come out during the war So it doesn't get as much attention The dead babies in Ireland story? They used this as a burial ground. A baby died almost every fortnight There are decades of secrets buried here, so many tales of pain and anguish Today is the first glimmer of hope finally for hundreds of families throughout Ireland and further afield that Tuam here in County Galway will finally give up its dead

1:09:59 So what happened here? From 1925 to 1961, nuns ran a so-called mother and baby home at this site. Somewhere unmarried mothers were sent in disgrace in deeply Catholic Ireland The illegitimate children were treated shamefully An inquiry later found around 9000 infants died in 18 such homes resulting in a state apology four years ago. In Tuam, historian Catherine Corliss discovered almost 800 children had died only two were properly buried the rest remain under this grassy patch in what used to be a sewage tank We're standing on the chambers there are about 20 of them they stretch right across here that the chambers were built inside the tank There are little openings in concrete

1:10:47 and they go down nine foot. So the babies had to be placed one on top of the other, there's no way for an adult to actually get down into those chambers so that's just a horrific thought when you think about it." The dumping of childrens remains in this way sparked outrage in Ireland A decade since the story first broke its hoped the excavation work starting today can finally afford a dignified reburial to hundreds of innocent children whose only crime was being born out of wedlock. No, no that doesn't cut it that doesn't get anybody outraged they're Irish I don't see people getting... Of course is horrible but I do not think... It's going to be the grossest story of the week now so when you look at my email to see how bad it is.. I dont know what you can come up with this gonna top the war

Dirty Bomb Threats, Gold Deposit in China

The recurring media narrative of "dirty bomb" threats is dismissed as a long-standing propaganda tool. In economic news, geologists in China have reportedly discovered a gold deposit valued at over $80 billion, raising questions about the future price of the metal. The segment concludes with a satirical take on gold investment advertisements targeting seniors.

1:11:41 Um, something with Beyonce? The MC files might. That's about it I mean the Diddy stuff is all...it's no good It's completely no good There's nothing in there No it stinks! I love this email From the truth addict Instead of ridiculing people for coming across info you are unaware of Maybe maybe try a simple web search Propaganda, I'm sure. But it's being spoken of contrary to what y'all just lead listeners to believe! Like what? Dirty bomb attack Iran's next move against Israel dirty bomb attack She said nine dirty bombs dude You understand its like... but why do you email me like that Why are you even listening

1:12:33 Try a simple web search. You're wrong! Dirty bombs, dirty bombs are real. Yeah of course we've been hearing about dirty bombs since we started doing this show and before it's always been dirty bomb, dirty bomb, oh it's gonna be a dirty bomb okay. Dirty bomb in New York, dirty bomb in California, dirty bomb everywhere yeah of course we've heard all this This is the benefit...this is the boomer benefit We've heard it all. Boomer benefit, there's a show title. Boomer benefit. Yeah I mean it is and maybe we're just blasé or what is the term? Jaded is the word you like to use for it. Yes jaded boomer benefit but we've heard it all It's like oh how many... You know what how about this

1:13:24 How about we find out there's no gold at the Federal Reserve? Remember that, remember that. When does that take place? That is still in play! Where is the live stream of that? By the way I saw that largest... let me see what was it.. It's official! Geologists have discovered the largest gold deposit ever recorded a value over 80 billion dollars in China Now what now what does that do to the price of gold shouldn't gold go down Technically it should. And speaking of gold, John I buy my gold at the Gold Boys over here! Gold Co. Gold Co., I want to make sure that all you seniors get really worried about the economy and buy my limited gold coins for 25% above spot price. I get 5 percent off your order. Gold is good So i have two clips just to annoy you

CHAPTER 22 / 53 Discussion

Planet Money, Stablecoin Regulation Bill

NPR's Planet Money is critiqued for its coverage of a new Senate bill aimed at regulating stablecoins like Tether. The bill proposes that the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency regulate large stablecoins, while states would oversee smaller ones. The discussion highlights a provision that allows the Trump family to continue promoting their own digital assets, which the hosts characterize as "meme coins."

planet money· stablecoin· tether· blockchain· office of the comptroller of the currency· trump family· kyc

1:14:22 And this is a lecture on planet money. About stable coins, which has a kicker at the end. Which just cracked me up and you'll catch it but let's be... But I want but this is information, these are people that don't know anything. Planet Money is a goofball show where they laugh and chuckle at everything they say, they can barely speak. Is it still that Kyle guy who hosts it? I don't know who's these two... There are 2 or 3 people there is actually if you take a look at their webpage they have like 30 people working there probably all making good money but its just a goofball show and they go on about trying to... And then never... It's always kind of off You know, thats not quite right

1:15:14 But I figured this is perfect for you. First, it says that companies that run stable coins need to hold the equivalent amount of actual US dollars or close equivalents like U.S. Treasury bonds. Okay makes sense! Then it clarifies who's in charge of regulating stable coins in the U.S.? Is this a Stablecoin lecture? This is Stablecoin... Oh, Stablecoin 2. I'm sorry. My indicator is $27.6 trillion That's a measure of how much people are using stable coins globally. Last year, there was $27.6 trillion worth of trading payments and transfers on stable coins like Tether. And I bring this up because the Senate has just passed a bill that might bring special regulation for these cryptocurrencies for the first time. Makes sense that there is so much money zipping through the blockchain that maybe some lawmakers want to put some guardrails on? Yes and it's a reminder of what stable coins

1:16:07 are, they're cryptocurrencies whose value is pegged to something else. Often the US dollar so unlike Bitcoin or Ether whose values fluctuate wildly you are promised that when you buy one of these cryptocurrencies it'll stay basically the same And because of this apparent certainty, stable coins are increasingly popular. We'll link to our full explainer on stable coins in the show notes. These cryptocurrencies are often used for people sending money across borders who would otherwise face high bank fees and delays or they're used in countries where inflation is high also for scams and drug deals and ransoms. Yeah! Alright so wide range there what then

1:16:47 is in this bill. Is it addressing some of those things? A lot of use cases. Many use cases, as Waylon said. Typically other things I just mentioned are illegal anyway. They don't need special regulation but the coins themselves seem to so the bill does a few things Oh my goodness what is this monkey house I know they do that constantly. You can use the completely KYC'd stablecoin, which somehow is a cryptocurrency you can use that to do drug deals okay yeah that makes a lot of sense

1:17:25 Okay, now the other clip is this where I'm gonna get even more annoyed by these people? No you're gonna get really annoyed by this one. First it says that companies that run stable coins need to hold the equivalent amount of actual US dollars or close equivalents like U.S. Treasury bonds. Okay makes sense Then it clarifies who's in charge of regulating stable coins in the u.s.? The bill says for large stablecoins, it's the office of the controller of the currency. And for those smaller stablecoins it's actually up to the state where this stablecoin company is based Is that actually like...is one like a giant coin? Is that the large one and the small ones are like dime-sized stablecoins I'm very confused Planet Money Huh Okay so you would hope then those state regulators

1:18:12 are on top of this, they're having the baton handed to them. Yeah and you've hit on a major criticism of the bill Berkeley economist Barry Eichengreen wrote an op-ed in The New York Times this week he pointed out that regulators couldn't move fast enough to act when Silicon Valley Bank's assets were vaporizing a few years ago And so he is skeptical that regulators will be able to scrutinize the hundreds or even thousands of stable coins that could be issued all over the country Supporters of the bill though say that this at least gives some rules of the road as opposed to none. And speaking of rules, I read that the Trump family can still promote their stable coins under this bill. Yeah members of Congress can't shield a stable coin game but presidents and their families they are notably excluded Wow it's a meme coin! It's like Trump Steaks...it's sneakers! Ah you idiots You're right i'm very annoyed by that

1:19:10 I knew that would get you, the meme. The Trump stablecoin, it cracked me up! I mean i don't even know that much about it and caught that a mile away. It is true though that... so first of all what they don't get right is the House and Senate bill differ on who's going to regulate it That's gonna be the big thing So who's going to regulate Stablecoin And it's certainly true that we're going to see idiotic things like the Walmart stablecoin and the Amazon stablecoin, which you may not be able to use in other places. It's gonna basically be a loyalty card. It is gonna be very stupid—a lot of this—but the market for it... Well how? It wouldn't be that much different than having the Macy's credit card. Right! You know I agree

1:19:59 Well, I don't know. I don't know if you're gonna be able to use the Walmart stablecoin over at Amazon That's what I don't know No, no You definitely won't be able... Are you kidding me? Well then that's not the same as the Macy's credit card A credit card is a credit card No, Macy's can-no, no, no Macy's had their own in store credit card that could only used at Macy's Ohhhh, you're right, you're right, you're right I forgot about that Okay So that, first of all is just factually wrong whatever they're talking about. It really is going to come down to which agency is going to regulate it but I think the numbers about Tether are correct there's 400 million people using stablecoin tether stable coin as a US dollar equivalent all over the world not really in in the U.S., so we'll see. I think that better reporting if they had this show was worth a crap this shows...

Christine Lagarde, Digital Euro, Cash Limits

Christine Lagarde of the European Central Bank (ECB) promotes the digital euro, citing China's large-scale pilot as a successful model. Critics argue that the digital currency will be linked to social credit scores and lead to the elimination of financial privacy. Concurrently, new laws in Europe make it illegal to possess more than 3,000 euros in cash, a move framed as a crackdown on criminal activity.

christine lagarde· european central bank· digital euro· china· social credit· cash limits

1:20:53 It's not. The better reporting would be to tell people how to implement stablecoins in their own life with details, so that people can know and get some sense of it. This is just pie in the sky... We don't know what the... I didn't even know if you didn't know first thing about it, you would say this is crazy! Wait, wait 27 trillion or whatever it was? Some very high number of people... 2.7 trillion I thought it was 27. I thought it was 2.7. Well, play the beginning of... It's right at the beginning of the clip first clip My indicator is $27.6 trillion dollars Oh you're right! But that doesn't sound right Doesn't sound like 26 His indicator Okay So Fifi Lagarde comes out You know, Fifi is the Christine LaGarde of The European Central Bank Now she's taking questions a Q&A

1:21:49 And so she's sitting behind the dais, and she's wearing some glittery type sweater. with glittery speckles in it, and she has a sash. A green sash over her shoulder like she's at Starfleet Command! This woman is nuts! You know what I mean? She wears...I've seen her wear this before it's almost like a beauty queen thing Yes yes! Like, I have my sash, I show authority Because you know if there was a uniform for the European Central Bank, she'd wear it She might even get uniforms for everybody. And so she's talking about the digital euro, listen to this! Many people are a little worried about what will happen to them with the digital euro Can you encourage them? Why is it that the digital euro is good for people like me

1:22:42 A digital currency where it has been piloted, and there is only one which is clearly now launched in a very small country but it is piloted on a fairly large scale in China. Is of use and of service to all citizens so it's not something that is good for the elite or is good for the young or is good for some versus others if it is well done well implemented, it would be of service to all citizens. So what I hear her saying is oh you know China has done it its piloted on a fairly large scale and you know what the Chinese do? It's abuse and of service to all citizens yeah connected to your social credit score that's what they're planning she's planning...and by the way stablecoin could be used in the same manner

1:23:40 But man, she just said it. China's doing this great! It's good for everybody and you know that I told you they're cracking down You can't have more than 3 000 euros in cash in your possession. It's now illegal. It's becoming illegal and all the member states in Europe cannot have three more than 3000 euros in cash in your possession Why? Because you must be a criminal Literally, you must be by the way. I think we have a note from one of our producers. I think she actually donated probably a long note She was coming across the border and had

1:24:20 Just under $10,000 in cash and got pulled aside for the same reason. Well there must be drugs Sure she's coming in here Yeah I think she donated some money It says on the card you can't be moving more than 10 thousand dollars in cash We'll get to it when we read her donation note but what the border patrol said was She has gotta be drugs! We're gonna find the drugs None of this is good. That's when you respond, I already sold the drugs that's where i got the money from! I'm high on them man what are you talking about? You can't get them anymore... Um okay

On the Media, Trump Army Birthday Parade

NPR's On the Media is criticized for its biased coverage of Donald Trump's appearance at the Army's birthday parade. The report claims Trump was "glum" due to sparse crowds and poor poll numbers regarding his immigration agenda. The hosts argue the program has shifted from media criticism to pure political propaganda against the administration.

1:25:01 Can I do it at three NPR clips because you know, I'm a big fan of all your poaching my territory I see not really because this is on the media on the media has always been oh, yeah You've you've been hogging that one. I think I've been on the media on on the media with Brooke. I don't remember if it was Who was there was a dude who the older Brooke Gladstone and her dude, but well no But that's the young guy. That's Micah but before that there was an older guy I think he got kicked off for some reason it was some older guys So this ageism No, I think he pinched somebody's butt or something. There was something... He had to go and you know like on the media it's an NPR podcast is how i listen to it about the media. It's also on the air? I know but it's about the media! And so when podcasting was coming up you know NPR was all jack-jacked about Adam Curry

1:26:00 Did Adam Curry blah, blah, blah? That's exactly what they said. It was what I remember of the conversation. Adam Curry blah, blah, blah but it was about podcasting and so... But it was media! It has always been about the media Now, of course with Congress not President Trump directly but Congress threatening to cut their 1% funding which just seems like its horrible Man they've gone full Trump hate And this is the beginning of on the media for this week. Last Saturday Trump looked a bit glum at his, I mean the Army's birthday parade Right there! At his uh...I mean The Army's Birthday Parade That is that reporting? No It's bias observations Well it just keeps So the minute I heard that I'm like This is not about media

1:26:54 This is about how much you hate Trump. Last Saturday, Trump looked a bit glum at his... I mean the Army's birthday parade The soldiers weren't in tight formation They smiled and waved But with sparse crowds and very high humidity Military dot com noted that the mood was shaped by a strange quiet The organizers were expecting around 200,000 people. That's definitely not the case Newsmax? Newsmax is reporting 10,000 people showed up for this thing Michael Wolff author of the 2018 bestseller Fire and Fury inside the Trump White House told The Daily Beast that he'd heard the president later reamed out Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over the parade's mildly festive tone

1:27:41 suggested that the problem was maybe it wasn't quite North Korean enough? Didn't send the message that he apparently wanted, which is that he was the commander-in-chief of this. So she says it wasn't North Korea and... That was not in the article! This is all very strange editorializing. I think they're hurting the show because i didn't like it. Menacing enterprise. Anyway, the president clearly wasn't happy. I think the simple word here is hurt That's CNN data analyst Harry Enten the day before the parade talking not about Trumps feelings but his poll numbers.

1:28:35 far he is very much way, way under water at least in these two polls. points in the last two weeks. The only thing that's happened over the last two weeks is obviously Donald Trump ramped up immigration hawkish agenda and at least this particular point, the American people are saying no! We do not like that and they have turned against the president on his core strength issue of immigration he is now underwater on the issue has been strongest for him

1:29:14 And the estimated 5 million that filled the streets of 2,000 towns and cities in opposition? A historic number rallying under the banner No Kings. I love how she just her tone changes it's so amazing it was historic! It's so great no kings still not about media What a gut punch for a guy who cares so much about the numbers But hey, now we got a war on maybe. And better still it's far away we won't see that play out in our streets so the way is clear for the president to seize the narrative and make it his own once he figures out what that is

Minnesota Political Violence, Melissa Hortman Murder

The murder of Minnesota lawmaker Melissa Hortman and her husband is discussed amidst claims of rising political violence. Media reports attempt to link the shooter to Alex Jones and InfoWars, while alternative theories suggest local political motives involving Governor Tim Walz and Senator Amy Klobuchar. The segment highlights the conflicting narratives surrounding the tragedy.

melissa hortman· minnesota· political violence· alex jones· infowars· tim walz· amy klobuchar

1:29:53 And still not about media and then after this last minute I'm like okay, this is not gonna be about media anymore But listen to this trouble is we have so much of our own violence right here right in our faces Which is a little less susceptible to spin. Do you have the violence in your faces John? Have you seen the violence in your face? I've had seen no violence in my face for a decade. But the stalwarts will go down trying if you're to believe MAGA, the left is fundamentally more violent than the right when Minnesota lawmaker Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered last weekend and two others were shot now we're going to talk about media here's what Don Jr had to say about this shooter everyone talks about Minnesota but they don't talk about the guy seems to be a leftist

1:30:42 walk into someplace, you see a bowl of fruit and from 20 feet away go that's fake. That's Alex Jones notorious for labeling the 2012 massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary a hoax when it comes to murder he prefers to doubt what he sees It looks real but your mind knows because it knows the look this thing smells of some type of sophisticated operation. The accused shooter turned out to be a Trump supporter and a fan of Alex Jones' show InfoWars What? He was a fan of InfoWars? Now we're talking media! I had not heard this Studies have found that although political violence is on the rise overall But this is just a lie It's great The left goes in for property damage Murders are more the province of the right

1:31:34 The left destroys property, the right kills people. Is the message clear yet? As Elon Musk learned by way of his own AI chatbot Grok. A user on X asked whether right-wing political violence or left wing political violence is more prevalent in this country. Grok unapologetically said right-wing political violence is way more prevalent. Elon says major fail as this is objectively false, Grok is parroting legacy media working on it But when challenged Grok only quoted more studies and stuck to its guns I mean no wonder people who listen to NPR that are customers of my hair girl are spun up and spun out

1:32:20 This is bad. Yes, it's pure propaganda and totally he was a Trump supporter and an Alex Jones listener Did he have boner pills in his back pocket? How did they know that I found out came out and says Walz hired him as a hitman to kill Amy Klobuchar. That's what he said, yeah! It's a good bit. He says that Waltz hired him to kill Amy Klobuchar because when Waltz is out as governor he wants to run as senator and he wants that spot and then my thesis which I wrote outlined in the newsletter was that he killed this woman who was the head of the Senate or

1:33:02 or a state senate, or assembly I think it was the Senate that was very popular in Minnesota and she would have been the shoe-in for Amy Klobuchar if she had been assassinated. So they had to make way for walls by doing some clean up. By killing both! Yeah, by killing both Well if that wasn't crazy enough our very own Democrat representative Hank Johnson took to his guitar this week I just have to play this. Oh, I saw part of this...I wish I'd clipped it. This is fantastic! This is the guy who thinks that islands can flip over Well, I was gonna play that as my punchline But I'll play it now then.

Hank Johnson, Guitar Performance, Guam Floating Theory

Representative Hank Johnson is ridiculed for a video in which he plays guitar and sings a parody of "Hey Joe" directed at Donald Trump. The hosts recall Johnson's infamous 2010 comment expressing concern that the island of Guam might "capsize" due to overpopulation. The performance is characterized as an embarrassing attempt at political commentary.

So they had to make way for walls by doing some clean up. By killing both! Yeah, by killing both Well if that wasn't crazy enough our very own Democrat representative Hank Johnson took to his guitar this week I just have to play this. Oh, I saw part of this...I wish I'd clipped it. This is fantastic! This is the guy who thinks that islands can flip over Well, I was gonna play that as my punchline But I'll play it now then.

1:34:02 Representative Hank Johnson about Guam. He's notorious for being one of the dumbest people in the world that he thinks islands are floating Just recently picked it up thought I would try it out I hate to hurt your ears and everything, but I'm just learning to play guitar And so I'm compelled with a new guitar and with some thoughts about that old song Hey Joe to give some commentary on where we are now. And if y'all don't mind, I'm gonna just strum a little bit. ♪ Hey Trump ♪ Where you going with that gun in your hand? Hey Trump

1:34:53 Where you going with that gun in your hand? And you complaining about our end of show mixes. This is great! Down the street and shoot down democracy You're gonna shoot down democracy Oh my goodness Why would you do that I mean, that's basically how i play guitar. And you've never heard me play guitar on the show? Not on the pre-show nothing...I'll play the theremin but I will not play my guitar! That was just a head scratcher why he did that Was it people going, ah that's a great idea man Yeah, that's exactly what happened When you got a guy like that who is that dumb He's actually, between him and the Hiromo woman from Hawaii

1:35:49 When they're that dumb you can talk him into stuff, and I think people just laughing up their sleeve His friends hey friends so-called friends is a great idea Hank. You should that'll show Trump Yeah, that was probably Collins like Collins like hey man. You're great on that guitar. He's your play. I do it all the time I do puff the Magic Dragon you should do something from a black guy. I know Hendrix and then Justin Bad stuff that circles around on the stupid internet. I don't know if you caught this meme that went viral So there's videos going viral of the US military being served steak and lobster all over social media If you're familiar with the military, you know about the steak and lobster Are we about to be in the middle of a conflict? Take a look at this

Military Steak and Lobster, Internet Misinformation

A viral TikTok video showing U.S. troops being served steak and lobster is debunked as an old clip from February. The "surf and turf" meal is a traditional morale booster served before deployments, leading to false speculation of an imminent invasion. The hosts lament the breakdown of the internet and the reliance on AI chatbots for fact-checking.

1:35:49 When they're that dumb you can talk him into stuff, and I think people just laughing up their sleeve His friends hey friends so-called friends is a great idea Hank. You should that'll show Trump Yeah, that was probably Collins like Collins like hey man. You're great on that guitar. He's your play. I do it all the time I do puff the Magic Dragon you should do something from a black guy. I know Hendrix and then Justin Bad stuff that circles around on the stupid internet. I don't know if you caught this meme that went viral So there's videos going viral of the US military being served steak and lobster all over social media If you're familiar with the military, you know about the steak and lobster Are we about to be in the middle of a conflict? Take a look at this

1:36:44 I wasn't in the military, but I'm going by what people in the military and my family have told me. Let's take a look at what it means to take a look right here from Google You are correct. He's reading from Google AI in that serving lobster and often steak, creating surf and turf to US troops especially during deployments is a known morale booster So the whole idea is they're gonna send the troops into the Middle East because they're giving them the deployment meal This is it They said that its surf and turf except this is like from February

1:37:27 It's a very old video and it just these things keep coming back viewed 9 million times. The internet is so broken, and the amount of people who just don't search anymore they just ask the AI yeah? And that's all across the spectrum the amount of people who asked Grok hey Grok tell me this is true Yeah? It's over. That is exactly what is happening. It's very, very distressing to me But the search engines themselves have been failing anyway True... true I mean still can't find a weed whacker that remains in the news system I found you the weed whacker You just didn't like the results Yeah yeah, YOU found me the weed whacker You just didn't like the results That's all there was, you don't like it

Whoopi Goldberg, The View, Wesley Hunt

Texas Representative Wesley Hunt responds to Whoopi Goldberg's claim on The View that black women in America have it worse than women in Iran. Hunt, a descendant of slaves representing a majority-white district, argues that Goldberg's comments ignore the progress made in the U.S. The segment also references Bill Maher's critique of the daytime talk show's "woke" positions.

whoopi goldberg· the view· wesley hunt· bill maher· iran· race relations

1:38:20 And then the other thing this week was, I don't have the clip. I couldn't bring myself to clip it. Whoopie Goldberg telling the Persian lady that black people have it worse than... Black women have it worse than Iranian women in Iran? Did you see that? It's just like… Everybody showed us so much! I have the Bill Maher response to it with… Oh, I didn't hear that. Yeah, with Wesley Hunt he is a Texas representative Black guy and here's how that went down. Did you think of whoopi Goldberg saying? It's worse to be a black person in America Woman in Iran, you know I say we were talking about the trans issue before and The New York Times really has come over on that too the sort of the sensible liberal not crazy woke position. I think this is

1:39:10 Great first step toward getting Democrats back to sanity and a second good step would be we got to do something about the view Huge in Iran though When I'm mentioning a view of Iran, I could have hit the head cover You can't even tell which one is which. My district in the great state of Texas is actually a white majority district that President Trump would have won by 25 points, as I said I'm a direct descendant of a slave my great-great grandfather was born on Rose Down plantation. I am literally being judged not by the color of my skin but by the content of my character that's the progress because like

1:39:56 A lot of white people had to vote for me. A lot! So I don't even ever want to hear Whoopi Goldberg's conversation about how it is worse to be black in America right now. Some sanity, people want to get rid of the view now which will never happen. It'll never happen. No because now its become bullet proof unless the ratings all of a sudden take a huge dive Yeah...I don't see that People love them So I think there's a dedicated group of people that love the show. And then there's all the people that follow it just so they can ridicule it, you know? There is no excuse for this type of activity. You know just going back to Chad GPT for a second because I saw this article I'd stuck in the show notes. So MIT did a... and not sure..I don't have the actual documents so I can only give you the summaries that I have They did brain scans

CHAPTER 29 / 53 Discussion

MIT Brain Scan Study, AI Writing Effects

An MIT study using brain scans reveals that writing essays with the assistance of Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT reduces neural connectivity compared to unassisted writing. Participants using AI showed less engagement of cognitive resources and struggled to remember the content of their work shortly after completion. The hosts conclude that over-reliance on AI is "dumbing down" the public.

mit· brain scan· mri· chatgpt· cognitive resources· critical thinking

1:40:56 MRIs, I guess? What's the one that the brain professor used to do. It had to be an MRI. Yeah but a CAT scan is the other one you use. That's dangerous. An MRI of people using CHAT GPT and so they studied people for four months Our findings offer an interesting glimpse into how LLM-assisted versus unassisted writing engaged the brain differently. In summary, writing an essay without assistants—brain only group—led to stronger neural connectivity across all frequency bands measured with particularly large increases in the theta and high alpha bands. This indicates participants in the brain only group had to heavily engage on their own cognitive resources

1:41:43 So if you see the people who used AI to write essays, they couldn't even remember what was in the essay four minutes later. And what's happening is that... Yeah of course! Because you write something and you're engaging your brain. You're creating it out of nothing for starters so by creating something out of nothing which is what writing is As opposed to cut and paste, which is what AI amounts to. Yes Yeah You would have a change in you it would change the pattern of bit it changes people's critical thinking Well, it changes all kind it dumbs your brain It makes you it makes you stupid Artificial intelligence makes you stupid. Hey, there's a bumper sticker Maybe that's the idea

Password Leak, Passkey Technology Push

A report in Forbes details a massive compilation of 16 billion leaked credentials from platforms like Apple, Facebook, and Google. Security experts are using the breach to advocate for "passkeys," a new authentication method that replaces traditional passwords with digital certificates. The hosts express skepticism, suggesting passkeys give tech giants more control over user credentials.

forbes· password leak· malware· info stealer· passkey· microsoft· google

1:42:35 Trying to dumb down the public so they'll go along with some of these programs. Well, it's working! So we can steal their money say the Democrats It's already working and then this one now I'm surprised that this isn't getting the play that i think they wanted it to get because it is a 100% marketing move This is the 16 billion passwords leaked from Apple Facebook Google and others Did you hear about this? No Oh yeah he's... You know actually I saw it was one of those I saw some reference to it and i never followed up. So Forbes, this is forbes because of course Davey Winder will publish anything senior contributor he's a veteran cyber security writer hacker and analyst 16 billion apple facebook google and other passwords leaked and it's like oh this is horrible this is a problem this is big deal

1:43:33 And so everywhere you turn it all boils down to one thing and this analyst who, I forget where he's from. Maybe they mentioned the intro? He gives it away twice. Researchers say billions of login details have been leaked giving criminals access to accounts around the world The security firm Cyber News is warning that the data breaches affect Google, Apple and Facebook. Researchers say they amount to about 16 billion hacked credentials which means many people affected are likely to have had their login details for more than one account leaked The report suggests that the data was stolen through multiple events over time and not just from a single hack. Experts are advising people to change passwords and use multi-factor authorization. Please help us out, 16 billion compromised credentials! How bad is this leak?

1:44:22 Well, the good news is that this isn't really a new data breach. As you mentioned before, this is a compilation of data that's been compiled over a very long period of time. The bad news, of course, is that 16 billion credentials is quite a lot and what it really indicates is the success of a new form of malware that has been rising to prominence called the Info Stealer which is capable of stealing hundreds of credentials all at once That's why the number has gotten quite so high I think over the span of time that this breach covers, it is very likely that you have changed your password added two-factor authentication ideally in the form of an authenticator code or even better what's called a passkey. Now they are taking steps to make sure that this is less relevant in the future for example if you sign up for a Microsoft account right now you won't actually create it with a password You'll create it with something called a passkey

1:45:12 Apple and Google and the other internet giants have also done a good job of trying to kill the password. This is what it's about. Microsoft has been pushing this passkey for quite awhile now, Google does the same thing you log in like oh yeah why don't just get rid of your password use a pass key do you know anything about these past keys? No it sounds like a version of a password Yeah, it's... they're annoying is what they're- It's like if you lose your passkey then just I need someone to help me out with this but they're pushing this very hard and To me it sounds like If you use a passkey the only person really in charge of your credentials Is the person who issued the passkey. IE Microsoft and Google

1:46:04 And then you have to go to them and say, oh I lost my passkey. Can you help me? How is a pass key different than a password? Well the password ultimately... So you can forget your password or you can lose your password but that Let's drop those two premises. I'm not going to lose or forget my password how it different than a password? as I understand it, is issued by someone else. So how's that different than what MCI Mail did in the early days before the internet and when you had a they gave you a password that they generated and you used it? Yeah but so you don't know the password That's the thing Oh! You don't know the pass key No you don't They store it Well how do you login then? I think its like a certificate type deal

1:46:58 This PASC-E thing? It's on a cookie or it's sitting in the file somewhere. What if you change machines? Well, there is a good question All I hear from my geek friends is, ugh, PASC-E...I hate them they suck So they must suck! I'll have to look into it now. Yeah, you need to write something on the Oasis. I can write something up! Don't use chappy GPT because you become stupid and we need your smarts We just sharp for the show that was the eye-opener for me You bec- But the people are getting dumb? Artificial intelligence I'm so- Woah, i'm shocked! Artificial intelligence That the public is getting stupider by the minute And AI's making it worse Oh nooo They finally found a trick

Carbon Budget, Climate Change Pivot

Climate scientists warn that the world is on track to burn through its remaining "carbon budget" by 2028, making the 1.5-degree warming goal of the Paris Agreement unattainable. The narrative has shifted from general warming to a specific "budget" of 130 billion tons of CO2. The segment ends with a brief observation on the aesthetics of the B-2 bomber during its hangar rollout.

carbon budget· climate change· united nations· paris agreement· greenhouse gases· b-2 bomber

1:47:48 How can we make people even stupider? Even dumber. We've tried the drugs, the drugs yeah they become a little more susceptible... You already killed the school so nobody can leave and learn anything except gender ideology that's dumbed them down enough to their cutting your dick off! How could we make them dumber than that?! I know I know, let's give them artificial intelligence and that will make them human stupid. It's fantastic! They finally got to something This is the ultimate goal. I think we finally figured it out That's it So that people will believe stuff like carbon budget

1:48:34 A new report from over 60 climate scientists showing the world may be running out of time for limiting global warming to 1.3 degrees. I think it shows a pretty harsh reality, right? You know things aren't just getting worse they're getting worse faster we're moving in the wrong direction in a critical period of time that we would need to meet our most ambitious climate goals some reports there is there's a silver lining I don't think there really is one on this one Scientists say we're on track to burn through the planet's remaining carbon budget faster than expected. That budget represents the total amount of greenhouse gases we can emit and still have a 50-50 chance of keeping warming to 1.5 degrees above preindustrial levels. See, this is what we identified on the last show they've pivoted to this carbon budget and it's 500 metric mega megatrillion tons whatever it is

1:49:27 and we're running out. The budget is running, so they've basically equated climate change with money and that's the point." Back in 2021 the UN estimated that we can afford to release around 500 billion tons of carbon dioxide and still be on track but today that figure has dropped to 130 billion tons by 2028 The world would have pumped out enough CO2 that even a 50% chance of staying within the Paris goal would be off the table. Meanwhile, the impacts of climate change are already being seen across the planet." We are seeing the impacts of climate change on extreme heat we're seeing it on extreme rainfall we're seeing it on sea level rise and storm surges in coastal areas. We're seeing it in wildfires and it is now no longer

1:50:19 possible to just say, oh you know this is just something that the scientists worry about it doesn't affect normal people. It's affecting normal people and its affecting them all over the world. This affects normal people who write essays with Chad GPT? You know I'm looking at the quad screen and they're showing videos of the B2 rolling out of the hangar... That thing looks dopey! It looks dopey when it's coming out of the hangar. Looks like an amphibious vehicle No, it doesn't look no. It's not it only looks good when is flying yeah, that looks dynamite when his flying it looks wobbly Looks like a Cessna rolling out of the hanger Flying wing yeah, yeah, it looks little dopey big big cabin on top hmm all right

1:51:05 I'll give you another minute here before we take a break if you want to... You have to take a break? What?! Yeah, we should. We should. I'm going to keep us on track. And you're getting donations after 3 o'clock! Yeah, we got donations. I saw it. We got long, looong notes There's a couple of things. Yeah, Roy McGovern was on I thought it was funny who's the Roy McGovern was on Al Jazeera just before the bombing who is this?

Kylie TikTok Teacher, Conservative Stereotypes

A TikTok creator named Kylie, who identifies as a teacher, is critiqued for a video categorizing conservatives into four groups: notable figures, social misfits, ignorant people, and "stupid" people. She claims those without college degrees are susceptible to propaganda because they lack knowledge of systemic issues like settler colonialism. The hosts mock her "peace and love" sign-off as hypocritical.

1:51:46 No, XCIA. Mm-hmm. He's actually a real XCIA. Oh sure But he's like been hasn't been in the I don't think you're working for him and I just don't think it's connected and he's uh, he gave a two part analysis that was wrong as could be But wait, I'm thinking there's got these different clips that should go to Ah Since we only have a little time, I want to play my TikTok clips then. Oh... I'll play the Ray McGovern clips later Well you kind of surprised me with that Yeah i know, I changed it midstream Alright! The highlight of the show everybody

1:52:33 Well, to me. I mean if AI is not going to get your TikTok clips Will Yep So there's this woman named Kylie who does just she's just constantly She's a teacher or something and she's on the all that she doesn't every day She has some something to tell us and they're all just junk And it's pathetic and she goes on and on so self-absorbed and self assured Now she's going to give us a lecture on conservatives. One of the many minorities that they do this to. An example of someone notable would be Donald Trump or Ted Cruz. Number two, social misfits These are people that are honestly incredibly intelligent but they were consistently bullied as children Or just never really found community They've always been a weird one and no one likes Because of that they begin to take it out on other people And promoting hateful ideas So think maybe like Ben Shapiro for this category Number three, ignorant people

1:53:36 These are generally people who are apolitical and don't see color, and they just don't care enough or don't know enough. So they end up adopting the beliefs of their friends family and community. And number four last but not least stupid people these are people who didn't go to college and just don't care about learning Generally speaking they coasted through school and they probably read it about like a fifth grade reading love you Just don't have a very sophisticated knowledge of settler colonialism or racism Or systemic issues that underlie our society though They become susceptible to propaganda peace in love Peace and love. Peace and love. Judge not, thou shalt not be judged. This is the kind of person that's teaching your kids? I don't know if they are... Are the kids watching this it seems like you were watching No she said professor she's a teacher Oh she's a teacher I believe oh Kylie the well she says she's a teacher on TikTok Well which brings us to uh the opposite end of the spectrum A lady trucker who

Trucker Protest Warnings, Reginald Denny Reference

A female truck driver's viral video warns protesters against blocking interstates, citing the 1992 beating of Reginald Denny as a reason why drivers will not stop. She argues that truckers fearing for their lives will "push the throttle to the floor" to escape dangerous situations. The discussion notes that states like Florida and Oklahoma have passed laws protecting drivers in such scenarios.

trucker· peterbilt· reginald denny· florida· oklahoma· domestic terrorism· protests

1:54:32 And I think that, did the...I guess Oklahoma just passed a law that said if you try to stop somebody's car they can run you over and i think Florida has a similar law. What do you mean? If you stop them when they're...? When you're in a situation there is a bunch of protests and you are trying to get through someone they surround your car and they just stopped it and they are pounding on your car You can run him over Wow But that's only in like Florida and Oklahoma. Texas needs to get on board! What? Texas needs to get on board Yes, they do And this woman who is a trucker with a Peterbilt She has a or big some monster truck Big rig

1:55:15 She's a tough chick and she is, I think expressing a view that a lot of people feel. So i hear talk that there are alot of people planning on doing protests out in the streets across the country soon...I just want to tell you a little fun fact about truck drivers. You see this thing behind me? 80,000 pounds takes nearly two football fields to come to a complete stop when we're driving at interstate speed for us truck drivers out here We're just trying to make a living or just trying to pay our bills support our families and go home I can tell you this if you guys start standing out in the middle of the interstate Us truck drivers were not going to stop you see a truck driver by the name of Reginald Denny stopped once for protest rather it was more of a riot

1:55:58 He got pulled out of his truck and he got beaten to death. A man that had a family to go home to who was just trying to do his job, so if you decide to stand in front on one of these on the interstate for your little protest or whatever you want to call it I call it domestic terrorism. I guarantee ya that truck driver is fierce for their life is going to do whatever they have to get themselves out of that situation where they feel they're in danger and in that situation the best thing for us to do is push that throttle to the floor Huh. I don't think Reginald Denny died, it was not good but i don't think he died. I don't know if he die or not, I didn't look it up now. No, no... But using the Reginald Denny as the excuse for running people over is, I think its gonna be a commonplace. Hmm

1:56:42 Hey, there's something to running people over who are standing in the middle of the interstate trying to stop you from moving. This is not good. None of this is no it was good. You have to murder people that have to run their plow through them like they did this one video going around with a person and the Toyota ran over some poor woman she was she's in the front yelling and screaming. It's like that other maniac that you talked about a couple shows ago But she, the woman ran her over. Ended up knocking to the side and didn't run over her legs which was an unpleasant experience you see the car bumping up and down I actually have an educational TikTok clip that i wanted to share with you Oh okay Hey poacher

CHAPTER 34 / 53 Discussion

Queer Voice Theory, Vocal Fry Analysis

A TikTok theory suggests that "queer women" can be identified by their deeper, raspier voices and use of vocal fry, contrasting them with "straight women" who supposedly use higher pitches to appear feminine. The creator claims this "naturalist" tone is a key indicator of sexual orientation. The hosts dismiss the theory as nonsense and briefly mention tech journalist Kara Swisher.

queer voice· vocal fry· lesbian· sabrina carpenter· ariana grande· kara swisher

1:57:34 I think you'll find this fascinating and informative. I don't like the way straight women talk, and I don't mean that in a bad way at all. I've just noticed there is a huge difference between the way queer women and straight women talk for straight women There's very much an expectation that your dainty and small And so a lot of straight women will talk like this and raise their voice and talk really high Think of Sabrina Carpenter or Ariana Grande They have a tendency to raise the pitch of their voice To be seen as more feminine It's almost like a sorority voice Or customer service voice But queer women, because we date other women, we do not feel the need to do that. The way queer women talk is more naturalist It's a little bit more raspy usually more of a vocal fry That's one of the ways that I was able to tell that i was queer Because speaking in that high-pitched tone felt very unnatural and very forced And to this day, that's how I'm able to pinpoint women who are queer even if they haven't come out yet

1:58:24 I see a lot of people talking about gay voice for men and how it's higher pitch, but not a lot of people talk about the inverse of that which is for queer women. Which is like a lesbian voice thats deeper and raspier And thats why queer women are honestly seen as less friendly. I could go on and on about this but let me know what y'all think in the comments How bout dat? The more you know! I think its bullcrap Well of course its bull crap! I found out I was queer because of my voice There's a couple of... She said, she literally said. Might have been a couple other clues. She found out she was queer Yeah which is code now for lesbian I that's another... Which is code for something. Which I think the lesbians should get mad now seriously By my because of my voice No but I mean the queer is stealing their lesbian Yes I think so That's oh man

1:59:17 Kara Swisher, where are you? Weigh in on this. She'd be on board with it. Yeah yeah does she think she considers herself queer now? Yeah I'll bet you she does! I'll have to tune in if I have two episodes backed up Well, I think that's the way to top it off to go into the fabulous donations. Well and with that i'd like to thank you for your courage in saying good morning to you, the man who put the sea in the waning crescent! Say hello to my friend on the other end, the one and only Mr John C. Erickson!

Modern Podcast Apps, Castamatic, Spotify Transcripts

The benefits of modern podcast apps and the Podcasting 2.0 initiative are highlighted, specifically the Castamatic app developed by an Italian doctor named Franco. While Spotify has begun implementing transcripts, the hosts criticize the company for not supporting open standards from other hosting providers. The segment encourages listeners to move away from legacy platforms to support independent developers.

1:59:55 Hey! In the morning to you, Mr. Adam Curry... in the morning all ships of sea boots on the ground feet in the air and subs in the water and all the names and nights out there. In the morning to the trolls over there and the troll only counts your first second. Don't run away stop running! Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa! Well it's amazing how no donations came in after three but 2869 trolls tuning into the live stream today that's epic donate people that's epic It's epic, I tell you. Well not really... It is epic! Hello trolls For this year yeah Yeah yes Trolls are in the troll room at trollroom.io You know what the high is right? Yeah 4 thousand or something Yep over four thousand When was that? What was the episode? Whatever it was we need that to happen again But the thing is it doesn't result in donations

2:00:54 4038 was the number. You don't know the episode or what the occasion was? You'd think you would want to correlate, it must have been a Trump thing... I just wrote on a little stick-it thing and didn't put in the date but it's about two years ago. Anyway! The trolls can also use modern technology! I didn't expect to be grilled about the details! I do not know how many people are in Iran I'm not the no agenda troll expert. Ted Cruz, good lawyer dope otherwise don't want to judge but poor so the trolls are making use many of them have modern technology created by independent software developers who make these modern podcast apps which have many many benefits

2:01:45 You know, Spotify is now using chapters which is a podcasting 2.0 enhancement to podcasts. I'm sorry not chapters. Transcripts transcripts transcripts not chapters transcripts and no of course they didn't and of course they do it a little bit differently so you know they bought anchor a big free hosting company for, I don't know way too much money. And so they now create... So if you use Anchor and 2 million of the

2:02:25 I think it was 1.8 million anchor podcasts, most of them have one episode that go like this test poop or test poop and that's the whole podcast. I know because we got to get rid of all those systems to check if that's all there is. Test poop? Okay very good so they actually create a transcript by the way just what you're complaining about stuff What is these podcasts? I think maybe I bitched about this before. What is this podcast, podcast begins in five minutes. 459, 458, 450 well who cares just cut that out!

Are ya on the live yeah I'll wait for yall to get into the live. You sit there and diddle around. Here comes some more people. I don't know I don't know what that's about. With the Modern Podcast app, you just get an alert and then we're live! And you tap on it and we're live and you're good to go in fact i do it a little bit early during The Fat Lady so that people can gear up sing along with The Fat Lady and then yeah you're good to go You know that were live We dont need countdown clock like where waiting for lift off

2:03:53 Countdown. And it's always around the same time anyway, so yeah that's a very good question I don't know it's uh...

Yeah were live Okay let me check are also live on the insta? Let's check the insta okay were live No thank you No, because of course you can also get delived from those platforms. Don't do it! Don't do it people just get into modern podcasting go to podcastapps.com For iOS users Castamatic which is made by Franco. Franco is a doctor in Italy He works four days a week as a doctor saving saving lives And then one day a week he programs and saves souls with podcasting

2:04:49 And he creates the Cast-O-Matic, he just put out a new version. He's an admirable character! He is great guy we had him on the Podcasting 2.0 podcast on Friday. He is a great guy. He is so nice and I said hey when you are debugging software it that same way you debug humans? And he said if only humans have log file that would be much easier So he created Castamatic a while ago and he just added all the live stuff with the notifications. It is, I think one of the best Apple iPhone podcast apps there is. I don't have an iPhone but I've seen it work and its very impressive as a very iPhone feel to it so Castamatic

2:05:30 You can get it from the App Store or go to podcastapps.com and see many more It's a very good product And when we go live you'll get an alert right on time, then when we publish the show Unlike your legacy app within 90 seconds you know that the show is available Don't be like your granddad with it Oh Grandad using Spotify Oh, I didn't even get to the Spotify part. So they will create a podcasting 2.0 transcript so if you publish with Spotify hosting for podcasters or whatever they call it and you use a modern podcast app the transcript will show up however our show which isn't on Spotify but if our show was on Spotify they don't accept the exact same technology from other hosting companies

2:06:21 You have to go to Spotify and use their transcripts. Well, that stinks! It's stupid they think somehow that that's gonna work for them? They're losing users every day with shenanigans like this it's baffling what big technology companies will do sometimes I don't understand it anyway so Franco puts his heart his soul his time is talent into into his app and we're very appreciative that he does that. And we have many producers who like to return value to this very podcast, which is a Value for Value podcast go look it up! ValueForValue.info, value number 4 value dot info if you want the full backstory on it pioneered on this very podcast It's now a thing people just call everything value Oh Patreon, Value For Value No not

Value for Value, AI Art Critique

The "Value for Value" funding model is explained as a superior alternative to subscription services like Patreon, allowing listeners to determine the show's worth. The hosts review recent listener-submitted artwork, noting a decline in quality due to the prevalence of AI-generated images. They announce plans for the "AI Music Awards" to satirize the growing influence of artificial intelligence in creative fields.

value for value· patreon· ai art· midjourney· darren o'neill· nick the rat· digital 211

2:07:17 We give you the full on experience for free. A patron is not value for value, it has to have a variable donation style which we stumbled upon early on because people if you remember when we first started and started taking donations and reading All the people that donate, they always had these code numbers. Yeah numerology and they like to say oh yeah I'm donating 666 ah I'm a devil 69 69 dudes 69 69 ha ha ha So uh gotcha You guys you said it you said 69 He said 69 man Yeah there's a lot of beavis and butthead type stuff going on yeah but

2:07:59 Besides that we have the end haven't gotten an and GG donation in a while We have the upside down eggs or eggs over easy. I mean people like it They come up with stuff at sticks It becomes lore of the show but also double nickels on the dime was for a couple of years one of them was popular Donations sergeant Fred started that double nickels on the time yes, so its Yeah, it's also so you can determine the value yourself. We're not roping you into something and it's like I think that this was a $12 show okay? I think this was 120 dollar show good and that all depends on you Not on us we can't determine what the value is to you But we do ask you to send some back That's all And you can do that with time talent or treasure

2:08:47 We love it when people give us even if you hate the show you're getting something out of it Yeah, hate hate is a valid emotion. It's valuable to some people we have artists who Are now prompt jockeys most of them with still some real artists around but Most of them are just fallen by the wayside AI has definitely killed art on this show there's no doubt about it and And I'm sad about it. But on the other hand, on the other hand, um...I'm happy because in a weird roundabout way we have discovered the whole idea of AI Music Awards which- Yes! Yeah It was pre show Yeah hold on a second let me uh let me register that right away AIMusicAwards.com tell me that isn't taken you think that's gonna be taken? Think someone already got that one

2:09:49 Did you go away for some reason? No, I'm here. I'm waiting for you to find out. Someone already has it! When did they do it was today? I can't tell no I don't think it was today Oh man. Yeah, we'll come up with an alternate that works. Yeah because we need a name like the Oscars it has to be you know like The Dummies maybe call it The Dummies I don't want to call it The Dummies No of course not hey guess what Newsflash It's never gonna happen Because You know this is going to happen This is going to be here Never gonna happen I can feel it If if you don't get it going now its never gonna happen AI Music Awards Nothing will happen Your host

2:10:27 This is perfect actually because you've been expunged from the annals of MTV for some reasons unknown to everybody except you. And because you, you're smart enough to have signed up for MTV.com or something like that? Or you got irked about signing... whatever it was. Yeah they didn't like that and then they sued me and I counter-sued them and then we settled in the... And then you were expunged! And I'm expunged! I'm done out! I'm out get out! Emeritus

2:11:03 VGA America, but your free musical shows where they had a lot of Satanism going on that was dynamite good So you're missing out on that good times. Yeah We should have a Satan Award to and a G or the most anarchy Most of them so our artists are always there trying to give us something that looks cool funky funny interesting grabs attention Or as my lovely wife Tina would say oh I Oh, one of those again? Like what? Because of the one we just did? Yeah. That you picked?! I did pick it! I said it was the best one... You picked it! ...I thought it was good. I always get blamed for picking the cheesecake but no-no this time I wasn't even for this one. I don't know if I admitted that it was me...you weren't for it. Yes you were! You said okay!!

2:11:56 I did say okay after a while because all the other stuff was like you had an argument against everything except this piece. Oh, okay so Darren O'Neill did the cheesecake but what i liked was the USG wants you because that was relevant to the show Right And she looked like an American government issue Yeah? Looks a bit like my wife actually You didn't bring that up She looks a bit like Tina actually No That's what it was yeah you said looked like Tina So he wanted to put Tina on the cover And that's right. Thank you for remembering That's a good excuse that you just dreamed up to keep Tina off your back, it was a good one It's a good bit but now that I'm looking at him like oh it does look a bit like Tina So that was Darren O'Neill entry there were other entries which we discussed and we're going to look at them right now I would say a tip of the hat for the climate protection from capitalist agenda But it was all way too small but he did a lot of really

2:12:53 I mean, so it was a condom wrapper and it had climate protection no agenda extra large of course curry divorce actually that was your first pick yes because that warming since then what was my comment too small now it wasn't read anything on there I know but when you when you embiggen it is good this funny stuff in there it was humor then you wanted to also continue to scold scare-a-manga you want it bills wait you wanted Bill's kink room What? Yeah, the one with the cat and the young girl and then the torture bed with a drill and all kinds of stuff. That's what you were looking at! I'm like what's wrong with you?!

2:13:34 Bill's kink. I don't know, you're making that up? No i'm not! You said- I liked Nick Durant's duty button. Yeah... But you thought it was too busy. Yeah it was very busy. And I also like the peanut gallery from Darren O'Neal but you didn't like that at all because it has two AI. I actually know we ended up having to pick this one because it was relevant you know you You were jacked up about it, and I didn't see anything really wrong with that. I actually used the duty button for the bat signals They and yeah, you like get hopped up by Ness works Which we were both like, eh... I don't know. There was a lot to choose from. But all this stuff, luminance has gone down by 20%. Unbelievable! You pay now by digital 211 man which is the joke that we use on the show it's just all just mud It's mud man

2:14:31 I mean there's another one that i saw yeah there's one down for a JIP, misspelled j-i-p from again digital 211 he should he should reset his system. Another mud it's just mud is all brown. It's so wrong! I'm telling you it's no good. Yeah at least Darren has got his reset because even though the USG 1 shoe piece the white background is not white No it's not It's kind of a pinkish. So thank you to all of our artists for diligently prompting away and sorry, I'm not going to let it destroy the end-of-show mixes but it will be an exit strategy for us with the AI Music Awards hosted by Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak now here is your host Nick The Rat

Donor Thank Yous, Muslim Money Donation

A unique donation consisting of physical currency from various Middle Eastern nations, including Oman, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait, is acknowledged. The donor, Sir Animus of Dogpatch, provided a collection of "Muslim money" that the hosts find particularly timely given the current geopolitical climate. The segment transitions into the formal reading of high-tier executive producers.

donation· omani rial· saudi riyal· kuwaiti dinar· dogpatch· lower slobovia

2:15:24 So we want to thank our producers. This is the treasure portion of The Time, Talent and Treasure and the idea is We thank everybody, $50 and above. But if you support us which is just so appreciated with $200 or more we will give you a title and a real Hollywood title because we can do that. And they are recognized and legit because you can go to imdb.com and use them. You can put it anywhere you want call yourself an associate executive producer of the No Agenda Show and we'll read your note. Now, the notes are way too long so we're gonna have to cut these down on the fly $300 or above you become an executive producer for the episode and we will read your note as well And so We have our old friend back at the top with 2606 and that is the correct number we know it's code for something Somethings getting blowed up somewhere Sironimus of Dogpatch in Lower Slobovia and he sent a note

2:16:26 From seronymous of dog patch and lower slavovia John's favorite type of donation letter horizontal line Horizontal line no jingles. No karma in closing Muslim funds to offset the Jewish shortfall I Have to say this Muslim money Muslim money he sent one bill a But a bunch of one dinar, two dinar bills from Oman. Oh real Muslim money? Saudi Arabia, Kuwait. Real Muslim money! Oh that's cool He said actual Muslim money, Kuwait Dubai has like a pile about seven bills from all the Arab states Did he have one from Oman I'm pretty sure there's an Omani bill in there yeah He might be a negotiator

2:17:18 It might be. All I know is that you don't get these bills unless you go there, and so he's... And they're used it's not like a bunch of new money. I mean it would have been nicer if they were better quality bills like his hundreds, his hundoes Most of them are brand new, right from the US government. Right from the Fed? Right from the pallet and right off the pallet. That's where the pallet money went! I got it. Either that or Saddam Hussein's piles that were found by the army... So we don't know where this is coming from but but I got a kick out of all these bills and I never seen a lot of these because i've been to the Middle East when I haven't gotten every country in the Middle East

2:18:03 actually been in Saudi Arabia. So I thought that was cute, nice to have real Muslim money. Nice touch thank you very much Sir Animas of Dogpatch and Lower Slobovia one of our biggest longest standing patrons and we appreciate you very much for that definitely okay oh i'm sorry Oh! I hate the tell no pass this off why do it? You know you need to fix your stuff I don't need to fix anything. I love doing this, I love my truck and I love what I do like I can make it work."

California High-Speed Rail, DOT Audit

A producer working on the California High-Speed Rail project provides an insider update on the "scam of scams." A recent U.S. Department of Transportation audit warns that cost reimbursements may be retroactive if violations are found, potentially leaving contractors liable for millions. The project is described as preposterous and a point of leverage in the rivalry between Donald Trump and Gavin Newsom.

2:18:03 actually been in Saudi Arabia. So I thought that was cute, nice to have real Muslim money. Nice touch thank you very much Sir Animas of Dogpatch and Lower Slobovia one of our biggest longest standing patrons and we appreciate you very much for that definitely okay oh i'm sorry Oh! I hate the tell no pass this off why do it? You know you need to fix your stuff I don't need to fix anything. I love doing this, I love my truck and I love what I do like I can make it work." It's from Clear Oaky...I just had to click on these boxes in Bakersfield and he came in for a Bakersfield California and he came in with even thousand bucks okay? He writes, My company has been working on the California HS high-speed rail ah in the Central Valley since

2:18:58 since around 20, uh... 2016. How long does it take? And it was already going since 2009 wasn't it? This is a scam of scams Yeah When we did the meetup years ago almost 10 years ago in Sacramento there was a high-speed rail guy there and he says the whole thing is just based on who can buy the property ahead where they're gonna put their tracks and then they scam the state Sure The whole thing's a joke Eminent domain all of that I don't think the project is feasible in general, he writes. And the way they are managing the construction is preposterous! I vote against a project every time I get the chance when the project comes up into conversation The other person usually says wow Are they still working on that?

2:19:46 Which I just did and they asked how I could be part of it to which I respond if my company doesn't work on at a company from LA or San Francisco will come in steal my employees and work on it anyway, so I just take the money and keep it local Wow however It looks like the gravy train may have been derailed puns intended with the audit by the USD OT Notice from US DOT Department of Transportation, the California High-Speed Rail Authority CHSRA for you out there following the acronyms stated a dated to 2025 recent that CHSRA must proceed at its own risk and

2:20:29 Because if a violation of the DOT-CHISRA agreement is found during the audit, cost reimbursement will be retroactive. In other words you're going to have to return the money even if you spent it. The project is routinely four to six months behind on their payments to us through a subcontractor so I'm going to be making some calls to our prime and probably our local state representative to see if my company may be left holding the bag for six months of payroll if the plug is pulled. This could come up as a piece of leverage in the brewing Trump-Newsom rivalry." Well, that's more you know right there! And then he has a couple newspaper articles that they link to which I didn't read and then the last line you're gonna have... it says linked to the audit and correspondency page 305 blah blah blah and there may be something after but that i can get too

2:21:28 Oh, he says... No I can get to it. That's it he just has another link and he says if you'd like more on this I'm happy to provide trains good planes bad clear Oki By the way was talking to a guy this morning who is an electrical contractor You know and I say hey how's business? He says he's dead Jim. Nothing is being built in Fredericksburg, which is kind of crazy. It says all the big electrical contractors they're laying people off left and right and Boot Ranch now Boot Ranch is about 15 minutes away that's where

Customs Detention, Drug Money Karma

Dame Kicking and Screaming shares a harrowing story of being detained and strip-searched by U.S. Customs while driving a used Ford Transit from Mexico to Waco, Texas. A drug-sniffing dog alerted to the vehicle, leading to a full search that uncovered a wad of cash under $10,000 but no drugs. She donated a portion of the "dirty drug dollars" to the show to cleanse the money's karma.

2:26:27 Oh, here's the note I was talking about. You need to read this. Do you want to read it? Nope! It's from Dame Kicking and Screaming Parts Unknown Don't know where she is from The very top of this note seems to... oh there it is ok popped open God. Dear, oh this is so long. Well you can get through it. Dear Adam and John here's a donation made from my dirty drug dollars in order to cleanse the possible curse on the money. Oh nice! That's good yeah On a road trip as a mule from South Mexico to Waco Texas last week I was inspected by US Customs while waiting for them to go through the cargo mainly personal stuff and some used

2:27:12 chiropractic heavy devices. I saw the sniffer dog coming out, I was sure he was going to be done in two minutes not finding anything to my surprise he sat down which is what they do and before i knew it was happening I heard the dreaded ma'am can you turn around and put your hands on your back followed by the distinct click-click of handcuffs I was detained and strip searched in a cell soon after. In shock, I was wondering who was going to feed my cat for the next 20 years." By the way, this dog's lying. Sometime later, a customs guy came in with a wad of money and asked what is this? Not to be smart but generally answering honestly uh...money? That was not received well

2:28:07 A supervisor had joined and triumphantly smirked, we found the money. Now it's a matter of time before we find the drugs unquote I died right there and then. The mooney was counted and as i assessed before it was less than ten thousand dollars he wanted to give it to me but i refused for fear of accepting responsibility for other things they would find According to the supervisor, it was already too late. Everything found in the car was my responsibility cars owned by an 80 year old American chiropractor living in Mexico who has bought the Ford Transit secondhand a few years later I was uncuffed... A few hours? A few hours! A few hours later I was uncuffed and led through a hallway when one officer turned around handed me my shoelaces back and mumbled you're released

2:29:01 My niece buckled from relief. I was still clear enough to ask what would happen with the money? They couldn't confiscate it, they said so I asked for it They handed me the money and I was now brought back to my car that had exploded by the looks of it. Oh they dug out...they just basically tore it apart Yeah Everything was unpacked outside and strewn around only for me to put back Every panel was open and it was a mess. No explanation was given, you know what happened? You know just to stop there for no second the dog lied Well the dog this is a car in Mexico when it was used car Ford somebody a Ford Transit hello Somebody had been used the car for drug transit Yeah And just some random dust was left which the dogs spotted and did his job. I don't use it That's makes nothing but sense

2:29:58 No explanation was given about the whole situation, no report. No rapport! No human interaction in order to clean the karma mat might be on the dirty drugs dollars I decided donate a big portion of it to various people. No agenda was on top my list I had to keep it short... Keep it short? But so many things happened. Sorry John! sad smiley face. Thank you for your courage in four more years Dame kicking and screaming! Thank you for keeping it short, but that's a good story at least. That is a good story yes and it ended well and thank you for sharing that dirty drug money with us

C-O-O-L-V-U CoolView dot com. Yes. Yeah. So I'm who I was up in

2:37:01 Seattle once and I was at an architect's office for getting a barbecue set designed or something. Some guy who is fan of mine, and he just so happened to be working on the Bill Gates house at the time which was on the water on Lake Washington. And he said they had all this like big front bunch of glass windows And it was huge windows, and he said they had to replace them with... He said they had to replace all the windows in the Gates Mansion with bulletproof glass. Because fishermen and other jokers would be just cruising down the river, and they'd say that's Bill Gates' house! They take pot shots at it. No! Really? Yeah, the whole- The house is riveted with bullets. Wow. That's pretty cool. And then brush the glass and zoom off on their boat. Oh man.

2:37:53 Yes, that's wild. An untold story. Actually bonus clip since we had Mitchell the Tint Guy from Dallas Texas talking about the protests I thought what JD Vance did in Los Angeles was hilarious Did you follow that at all when he spoke about Padilla? But Jose? Yeah. And the reason I'm here is, I just wanted to hear from the law enforcement officials themselves the state officials, the local officials but also the federal officials what's actually going on here in the ground and i think there are some good news and the good news is that rioting has gotten a lot better

2:38:34 But the bad news is as I heard from everybody unfortunately the soldiers and Marines are still a very much a necessary part of what's going on here Because they're worried that it's gonna flare back up. Well, I was hoping Jose Padilla would be here to ask you question but unfortunately guess he decided not to show up because there wasn't the theater and So that was I mean He said there wasn't a theatre That was gonna be his big punchline so I can only presume that he really did I think the guy's name is Jose Padilla. What is his real first name? Alex And so this was the retort from LA Mayor Karen Bass Mr Vice President, how dare you How very dare you!

2:39:16 You don't know his name, but yet you served with him before you were vice president and you continue to serve with him today. Because the last time I checked the Vice President of the United States is the President of the US Senate. You serve with him today and how dare you disrespect him? And call him Jose. But I guess he just look like anybody to you or he's not just anybody to us. He is our senator. An arrogant woman. That's hilarious! He just looked like a Jose. Did you see the AI version of Vance going off? No, I didn't. I should have clipped it... In fact, I would have but I didn't. Yeah he says, I don't know if you call him Jose or Rodrigo and he goes on and on with these diminutive names It is still full of crap You know, it goes on

DRC-Rwanda Peace Deal, Cobalt Export Ban

The United States has brokered a provisional peace agreement between the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Rwanda, set to be signed on June 27. Simultaneously, the DRC has extended its ban on cobalt exports, a move interpreted as a strategic play to limit China's access to essential minerals for electric vehicle batteries. The conflict in the eastern DRC involves over 100 armed groups vying for control of natural resources.

2:43:29 Oh, yeah. She's on the list? Yep she is on the list! Okay Jay put her on the list then... Yeah But she uh we have to be careful but this donation I'm pretty sure and i would say Gigawatt Coffee too because he always sees the late always the last donation got bumped through whatever happened I don't know what it was A glitch! They come through eventually It was a glitch Yes, exactly. It was a glitch. Glitch... obviously a glitch Hey I have some under-reported news which i thought to be quite interesting and here it is! The Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda are set to sign a peace agreement The deal was brokered by the United States And is set to be signed on 27th June The provisional agreement announced by US State Department covers issues including disarmament, the integration of non state armed groups

2:44:20 and the return of refugees and internally displaced people in Eastern DRC. Eastern DRC has been gripped by violent conflict spanning back decades, several armed groups are competing for access to precious natural resources including gold copper cobalt and lithium Congo has accused its neighbor Rwanda of backing one of the largest groups in the conflict, known as M23. The UN estimates that 4,000 of the group's fighters are troops from Rwanda though Kigali has strongly rejected those allegations. M23 is one of approximately 100 armed groups involved in the conflict vying for control in the region

2:44:57 Congo and Rwanda are not formally at war, and in the past have held peace talks aimed at resolving disputes in eastern DRC. Angola stepped down in March as mediator between the two countries after several attempts at brokering peace Other nations like Qatar also attempted to mediate the conflict in the past with no success Well how about that? We did a good one. That was great clip! We did a good one, we did a good one that's from Euronews I'd not got... There is stuff that is going on that we aren't paying attention to because were not being told by anybody. I'm gonna give you borderline Clip of the Day for coming up with that one Oh well thank you and actually have an extension to that borderline Clip of the day

2:45:36 Because the way I saw it, it's like okay so we kick China out because clearly China was in there for the cobalt and the gold and minerals. And all that stuff. And then this comes across the transom. A regulatory agency announced Saturday that the Democratic Republic of Congo has extended its ban on cobalt exports for three more months, a measure aimed at curbing oversupply of the key material for electric vehicle batteries. The world's largest supplier of cobalt, the country had imposed a four-month export ban in February after price hit a nine year low of just $10 per pound. The ban was originally set to end this Sunday

2:46:21 The regulatory body plans to announce a further decision to modify, extend or lift the suspension before the end of this new three-month period which will conclude in September. Reuters reported on Friday that Congolese authorities were considering extending the ban as they reviewed the allocation of cobalt export quotas among mining companies. Several industry players including Glencoe, the world's second largest cobalt producer support a proposal to introduce these quotas. So here's how I'm thinking the deal went, all right listen guys we're gonna broker a peace deal here we'll make sure that nothing no more fighting breaks out but you know what? You know we're gonna make you guys little richer so why don't you extend that ban on exports to China this is...I think this is a China play

2:47:12 Like, you know. Don't give them any call. I do too but it's funny that every analysis you've had for the last couple months is China. Yeah! China. China. China. China. China. Okay this i picked up on uh what is it? It's on NTD actually British Thought Leaders You have American... Great show. Yeah, it's a very good show. You have American... It's one of the best interviews I try to clip it once in awhile but its hard. Long story. Its hard to clip for some reason? Well the problem is that you know I clipped my NTD stuff from the computer and from the internet feeds

EastEnders, Government Script Collaboration

British journalist Louis Brackpool filed a Freedom of Information request regarding government collaboration with TV producers after an EastEnders storyline featured climate intervention and geoengineering. The UK government delayed the request, citing exemptions related to public affairs. The segment notes that similar propaganda efforts occur in the U.S. through organizations like the Norman Lear Foundation.

eastenders· bbc· script writing· geoengineering· freedom of information· norman lear foundation

2:48:00 Because I can't get it on TV. I mean, I get it on TV but its over the air they don't have it on Google and so I cant record anything So uh...I have to scrounge around to find it. So they had on British journalist Louis Brackpool And the reason I clipped this is because of East Enders. East Enders is a daily soap that has been running in the UK for, I think 50 years. Been running forever and when I lived there we lived there for five years...I got into it! You know? It's just you know British culture and... I got into General Hospital or days of our lives sometime in the 70s

2:48:44 When I was working a swing shift or something like that, you watch daytime TV. I watched it for months on end and then the next thing you know I was watching this stupid show. And you were rooting for Susan Lucci to finally win the Emmy's? Yeah but which show is she on? Was she on Another World maybe? Oh...I don't know there are about five of these things and they were actually pretty well structured So here's what he did. He came across, I guess someone mentioned it to him and well this is he did some journalistic work here's the setup. I put in a request to the Department of Culture Media and Sport to ask whether the government from 2020 to now present

2:49:27 was involved in any collaborations with the government and TV companies, producers, script writers that may embed government messaging through fictional television programs. And this was off a back of conversation again with a friend and he I don't know why he watches EastEnders it's not my cup of tea but you know a lot people do watch it millions watch across the country so I'm not judging he was watching it and during one of the storylines, one of the characters mentioned climate intervention and specifically geoengineering which was bizarre for any EastEnders storyline like it's very you know sore thumb. And we were talking about it and I said oh do you know that

2:50:17 that there's a lot of evidence to show the government are involved in script writing for fictional television programs because it broadcasts millions of people across the UK and he said well that wouldn't surprise me I went to check articles to back up what i was saying and couldn't find any So I thought, okay this is a perfect time to put in the request. And here's the response he got back from the government... and their response they've delayed my request for another 20 working days because they've cited an exemption which basically says it could affect the public affairs. Meaning, disclosure of this information could affect their messaging number one It could affect media backlash if they come out and say actually yes we do actually hold this particular information but certain things we have to

2:51:15 basically exempt from the public to see in case the public are riled up and upset about what is being pushed via messaging. So they have confirmed that they hold the data, there's no question about that it's a case of what and what particular narratives are they pushing? You know, we of course know that this happens in the United States to the Norman Lee or Hollywood Foundation. Constantly! And I think it's a good idea people should be putting in freedom of information requests to all their European governments you should get into this because I bet its rampant everywhere. The problem with doing that here is that we use cutouts so well

2:51:58 Like the Lear Foundation. I mean, if they're the ones that are helping these script writers put crap into the scripts that propagandize to public you can send a Freedom of Information Act to anybody you want and you're not going to get anywhere because it's there all know we've heard of them and USAID sends them some money on the side but we don't know what they use it for now It's not gonna work Okay, good point. Well I mean we do know it's not like it's a big secret Yeah, cuz the Lear Foundation themselves come out and say it they do They know what they used to I even now Norman Lears dead It's hard to say what well let's talk about the auto pen there was a funny guy that came out gave testimony before Congress And it was recorded this guy's name is think I have it on that on this clip name Theodore Wald

CHAPTER 46 / 53 Discussion

Autopen Investigation, Biden Mental Decline

The Oversight Project has uncovered widespread use of an "autopen" to affix President Joe Biden's signature to controversial documents, including pardons for Anthony Fauci and Mark Milley. Testimony before Congress suggests the device may have been used to conceal the President's mental decline or to usurp executive power. Critics argue this raises significant constitutional questions regarding the 25th Amendment and the validity of executive actions.

autopen· joe biden· executive orders· pardons· anthony fauci· mark milley· 25th amendment

2:52:53 He said, when they put a group together to investigate the use of the auto pen in the Biden administration. I thought these two clips were worthwhile. Traditionally, the president takes positive actions and authenticates those actions through his signature. His signature is required for the most significant actions he may undertake. To sign an executive order, to take any action invested in him by the Constitution as in granting a pardon, and to take the most important action of all-to sign a bill into law. In all these cases, the president's signature is itself the protection of democratic principle. When the president signs he communicates his assent and endorsement of the action he takes The auto pen is a device that signs the president's signature to a document

2:53:38 The oversight project of which I am a board member has discovered that the Biden White House deployed an auto pen to affix President Biden's signature to pardons, prison commutations, executive orders and presidential proclamations. The Oversight Project's research has found that the Biden White House first deployed the auto pen to affix President Biden signature to a proclamation on day five of his administration. And that there were at least three different auto pens signatures in use throughout president Biden's tenure in the White House, In June 2022, the Biden white house began deploying the autopen to sign clemency warrants and executive orders

2:54:17 Autopen use skyrocketed from there. We found that of the 51 clemency warrants issued during the Biden presidency, over half 32 in total were signed with an autopen and these include some of the most controversial acts of clemency of the Biden presidency including death row commutations and the preemptive pardons of members of the Biden family Dr Anthony Fauci General Mark Milley And more that were issued in the final days of the Biden presidency Finally, we found multiple days where President Biden wet signed a bill into law but used an auto pen to issue an executive order or for other important executive actions. The Biden White House's widespread use of an auto-pen to affix President Biden signatures to documents that exercise executive powers belonging solely to the president poses significant constitutional legal and practical considerations. These guys were the Claremont Institute?

2:55:12 Yeah, I think so. What do they do? Sounds like something for the president some work for this is all body punches to soften everybody up for the fact they're gonna pull a plug on a lot of stuff Biden did because if they can prove that Biden had nothing to do with it and And they're getting documentation to show that maybe Biden didn't do any of this. Well, we did something but he didn't do everything. He drooled sadly. He drooled a lot. So here's the finish of this little testimony Once the president signature is copied and loaded into the auto pen The machine can sign documents as the president himself would To be blunt by using the auto-pen anyone can sign documents as the president himself

2:56:00 Now, to be clear I'm not here today to suggest that the auto pin is bad. It's just technology. I'm here today because of questions concerning President Biden's capacity and whether the auto pen was used to usurp presidential power or to conceal the president's decline as the sitting presidents mental acuity declined potentially to the point of incapacitation his administration's expansion of the powers of the presidency raises more questions than answers Any investigation into this matter should focus not only on whether President Biden directed or authorized subordinate staff to take action in certain instances, but whether he had the capacity to do so at all.

2:56:36 The 25th Amendment lays out clear procedures for what to do when the president is incapacitated. It was carefully drafted and informed by our nation's history, the Biden administration ignored it all to aggrandize executive power and push the country further in their preferred ideological direction. It is our obligation at this point to get to the bottom of these issues and ask the important question as to whether or not the auto pen and other devices were used to cover and obscure President Biden's mental decline, undermining our national security and also the Constitution. Thank you for the opportunity to testify this morning. Yeah? So can you... I guess the question is can you hold someone accountable? Is that the word i'm looking for

2:57:30 for not adhering to the 25th amendment or is that something you just invoke? I don't think they have a prayer of doing anything like that, but what they...I mean that's an interesting case. But i think what they're going to try—i think the best they're going to do from all this—is pull the plug on a bunch of these pardons. I think as far as they're gonna be able to get because there like he said there's no evidence Because they look in the record and there's no evidence that Biden wanted to pardon half of these people. He never mentions it anywhere. Well, they mentioned specifically Fauci and Milley... That's the shot across the bow right there! Yeah definitely. Hey did you

Lethal Fungus, Razor Blade Throat COVID

A lethal fungus called Aspergillosis is reportedly spreading across the U.S., with media outlets attempting to link its survival to rising global temperatures. Meanwhile, a new COVID-19 variant nicknamed "Nimbus" is causing severe "razor blade throat" symptoms in patients. The hosts dismiss the climate change connection to the fungus as a "psyop" and note the rapid spread of the new variant.

aspergillosis· fungus· covid-19· nimbus variant· climate change· sore throat

2:58:14 Did I see you had something... Oh, by the way. Nothing's gonna come of it? No, of course not. Put it in the Epstein file bin! It's like what's his name they uh... What's that? Comer! It's like James Comer's various investigations he talks a big game and nothing has ever come up any of it. Did you have an article did you say something not too long ago about China? Like the smuggling in fungus was that a clip we had? We talked about the fungus I think it was a couple of shows ago. Yeah, someone bringing in... Do we have a clip of that? Someone was bringing in a fungus and got arrested for the fungus? Yeah they're bringing some horrible fungus that can kill wheat so wheat is really our target It also makes people sick if you get an infection with it but it's... Well listen to this

2:59:04 A lethal fungus that can rot human tissue from within is spreading rapidly across the US. This is from the Daily Mail, so take that with a grain of salt. And experts warn the problem could worsen as temperatures rise. It's got a climate change component. It can cause serious lung infection called Aspergillosis which in vulnerable individuals can lead to organ failure and death

2:59:42 Those with weakened immune systems, they're susceptible of course. Major cities like New York Houston Los Angeles face added risk from dense populations and aging infrastructure And so I'm thinking, listening to that. Is this connected somehow? The latest COVID variant is causing a distinctive symptom A sore throat so severe it's nicknamed razor blade throat Some patients report sharp stabbing pain when they swallow often at the back of the throat Because of that the new variant is informally being called Nimbus a name that refers to a jagged type of storm cloud. Doctors in the UK are also seeing more intestinal symptoms than with other variants

3:00:25 The virus is spreading quickly in the US. Nimbus went from single digits to 37% of all new cases of COVID in less than three weeks." Nah, it's not I'm reading down this article further and there it is Climate change is making it easier for the fungus to survive inside the human body as global temperatures rise. The human body doesn't change temperatures because of climate change Of course not! Your body temperature stays the same or should Man, yeah, it's actually lower. So this is just historically just another climate sigh out then okay I should have known better. I'm sorry all right five minute warning John five-minute warning five minute warning oh We got a few things here. I was talking ever since we're talking disease and Disease and death that does death disease in something else tick advice for the summer

Tick Season, Alpha Gal Meat Allergy

The CDC reports the highest rate of emergency care for tick bites since 2019, with Lyme disease remaining a primary concern in the Northeast and Midwest. Prevention tips include wearing permethrin-treated clothing and performing daily tick checks. The "Alpha Gal" red meat allergy, caused by the Lone Star tick, is revisited as a significant but under-reported health issue in the South.

ticks· lyme disease· cdc· permethrin· alpha gal· lone star tick· red meat

3:01:18 Bad year for tick bites. Data from the CDC show people are seeking emergency care at the highest rate since 2019, so if you're planning a hike or trip to the park and want to avoid these blood-sucking bugs, NPR's Ping Hwang has some tips that help fend them off. There are about a dozen different ticks in the US that can cause problems for human health In the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Upper Midwest. The biggest problem is Lyme disease. Thomas Hart is an infectious disease microbiologist at Johns Hopkins University in Maryland He says Lyme disease is transmitted by infected deer ticks You can encounter these ticks really at any time of the year, but they're going to be the most active in warmer months and they tend to live in a woody or grassy area. In the Central and Southeastern US, ehrlichiosis and spotted fever rickettsiosis are top concerns along with a tick-induced allergy to red meat. Tick bites are less common in the West but they also happen there and can spread Lyme disease, anaplasmosis

3:02:16 and a few other things. If all of this is making you itchy, Allison Hinckley an epidemiologist with CDC says there are precautions you can take. You can wear insect repellent treated clothing we call that permethrin treated clothing That's a really easy thing to do. Cover up as much skin as possible and check yourself daily. Showering when you come in from outside really has shown to be a good way to prevent tick-borne diseases. That's because the longer it feeds on you, the higher their risk of infection so if you find a tick take it off right away The best way is to use tweezers, grab it as close to the skin as you can and find out what type of tick it is and how long its been feeding on you. If it's a deer tick and your in area where Lyme disease is common, Inglee says see your doctor. The only time that you would get an antibiotic after a tick bite or before any symptoms would be to prevent Lyme disease and in that case we recommend just a single dose

3:03:11 Otherwise, watch for symptoms like fever aches and rash. If those show up Hinkley says seek medical care Hey whatever happened to Alpha Gal? Who? Alpha Gal I don't know Alpha Gal. Oh yeah, Alpha... Yes you do! You dated her. Alpha Gal was the meat allergy that people would develop after getting bitten by the Texas Lone Star tick? No they mentioned it in there. I know but whatever happened to that? That was like a big thing and people were like oh I can't eat red meat and alpha gal in Texas The Lonestar tick Yeah the Lonestar tick, that's what's name of it. What happened to that just no one has that anymore does that go away

End of Show Mixes, Digital Camera Tips

The program concludes with a recommendation for DPReview.com as a resource for digital camera and lens reviews. The hosts argue that dedicated cameras still outperform smartphones due to superior optics and less AI processing. The final segment features a series of music mixes, including the "Melon Mix" by Sound Guy Steve and a medley by Jesse Coy Nelson.

Melon Varieties, Iran War Parody Song

A humorous list of over 40 melon varieties is recited, ranging from the Yubari King to the "camouflage melon." The show ends with a parody song about a potential war with Iran, set to the tune of Black Sabbath's "War Pigs." The lyrics satirize the enthusiasm for military conflict and the threat of nuclear destruction.
