About this episode

Donald Trump proposed a dividend for the American people funded by a projected $1 trillion in tariff revenue during a recent interview with OAN. The former president claims this income will address the $36 trillion national debt while pressuring Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with a 20-point Gaza peace proposal. Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff have reportedly traveled to Cairo to finalize hostage negotiations as the administration adopts a more aggressive stance toward Israeli military objectives.

Senator John Kennedy criticized Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez over a looming government shutdown, citing wasteful USAID spending on pastry classes in Haiti and medical procedures in Zambia. Meanwhile, Senator Tammy Duckworth condemned the federalization of the Illinois National Guard by the White House, following a shooting involving ICE agents in Chicago. In the private sector, Chevron faced a massive refinery explosion in El Segundo, California, while Publishers Clearing House reportedly entered bankruptcy. Federal authorities also announced the results of Operation Summer Heat, with Kash Patel reporting 8,700 arrests and the recovery of 1,000 child trafficking victims.

John C. Dvorak recommends the Robert Mondavi Private Selection Bourbon Barrel Aged Cabernet Sauvignon as the ultimate budget-friendly hamburger wine. The program also explores the appointment of Humaam Sakhnini as Discord CEO and the rise of the Gen Z 212 protest movement in Morocco. Between discussions of classical music pest control and the decline of late-night ratings for Jon Stewart, the hosts analyze the institutional shift at NPR regarding the terminology used for Gazans.

Texas Weather, Chemtrails, and Lyndon B. Johnson Park

The hosts open the program noting the lack of chemtrails in Texas due to government funding constraints. They discuss the impact of the federal government shutdown on local parks, specifically questioning the status of Lyndon B. Johnson Park. The conversation characterizes Johnson City as a historical epicenter for political scams during the LBJ administration.

00:00 Seed oils! Best thing about the government shutdown. Best thing!

00:38 No chemtrails. It's perfect, it's perfect here in Texas. Chemtrail free we are I tell you! That's because they cost money Yeah of course it costs tons and tons of dough can't have that yeah no I mean We won't notice anything for at least another week two weeks maybe? Is anything really changed except for a couple of the parks here are closed Oh no... The national parks Yeah. You have national parks? What national park do you have? I think that Lyndon B Johnson Park somehow is tied to the park service, the National Park Service is not the Texas Park Service. Lyndon B Johnson Park sounds like a scam! Well all of Johnson City is pretty much a scam. I'd say Johnson City was the epicenter of scams during the Johnson years

CHAPTER 02 / 55 Discussion

John Kennedy, Ocasio-Cortez, and Wasteful Budget Spending

Senator John Kennedy criticizes Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the "socialist wing" of the Democratic Party for threatening a government shutdown over removed budget items. Kennedy lists specific expenditures the GOP cut, including $3 million for medical procedures in Zambia and $3.6 million for pastry classes in Haiti. The hosts suggest these USAID funds often end up in private pockets rather than serving their stated purposes.

john kennedy· alexandria ocasio-cortez· usaid· budget· government shutdown

01:31 It's where Johnson had all his bag men to go out across the country and collect. You know, collect! So let's talk about the shutdown for a second... Okay that's a good idea I have just so you know i have some early morning stuff from the Sunday morning shows when you're ready but yeah you get going first Well I just wanted to get this out of the way There's a lot of shutdown threats, there is the shut down analysis. Yes And then there is Kennedy's little diatribe I hope I have it on here Yes this is the Shut F Down Items Oh okay spelled it wrong as usual but this is Kennedy going off on Alcacio Cortez Oh always fun Basically President Trump just said we want you to take some stuff out of the budget that we think is wasteful

02:25 And we did. And that upset the Congress, she's entitled to be upset if she wants too but that really upset the socialist wing of the party and so We took out and here is what they want us to put back in. We found under President Biden they were spending $3 million for circumcisions and vasectomies in Zambia took that out. The congresswoman says we're going to shut down government until you put that back in. We found $500,000 of American taxpayer money for electric buses in Rwanda. We found 3.6 million dollars for pastry cooking classes and dance focus groups for male prostitutes in Haiti! I'm not making this up it was in the budget

03:11 Under President Biden, we took it out. Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez and the socialist wing, the loon wing of the Democratic Party says we're going to shut down government till you put it back in. I'll just read you a few more that we took out $6 million for media organizations for the Palestinians, $833,000 for transgender people and Nepal, $300,000 for a pride parade in Lesotho $882,000 for social media mentorship in Serbia. 4.2 million dollars we took out the congresswoman and the socialist wing of their party says we got to put that back in for them open government. 4.2 million dollars from lesbian gay bisexual transgender queer and intersex people in the western Balkans and Uganda I could spend the rest of afternoon here

04:06 We took all that out. It upset Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez, it upset the socialist wing of her party and now they know that wing of her party in the congresswoman are threatening all other Democrats and saying you've got to shut down government until we get what we want And part of what they want is to add this kind of stuff back into them. That's what this fight is all about always a good soundbite from anybody in Congress during these shutdowns. Yeah, I mean this used to be more common. I mean Rand Paul used to be notorious for doing it. Where is Rand Paul? There's no soundbites from him he's like not on the scene. He's voting against but and he's voting with the Democrats on this of course. He's the one guy because he loves the transgender stuff

04:59 Like that's what it's all about. We know that that's not true, it's just you know this is fun though but those are things that benefit I think all that stuff was probably from USAID Oh for sure! It's like I'm hearing them again And by the way, I also suspect that 4 million 3 million to all this money that supposedly goes to this and that is actually going into somebody's pocket too. Oh yeah something else oh yeah but you see You're completely wrong it's not about this at all At all your buddy man hands Welker isn't that your buddy? She's the hands Kristen Kristen Welker The one with the big giant

CHAPTER 03 / 55 Discussion

Kristen Welker, Epstein Files, and Shutdown Red Herrings

NBC News host Kristen Welker questions Speaker Mike Johnson regarding Democratic claims that the House is out of session to prevent the swearing-in of a senator who would vote to release the Jeffrey Epstein files. Johnson dismisses the Epstein connection as a red herring, blaming Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer for the impasse. The hosts mock the repetitive nature of shutdown political theater.

kristen welker· jeffrey epstein· chuck schumer· mike johnson· house of representatives

05:46 Black laborer Manhands. That one, Manhands Welker! She knows what this is really about. There's only a 30 second clip, we can get back to yours in a minute. And as you know many Democrats have looked at your move they say the House is not in session because you don't want us swear-in this newly elected senator that Congresswoman Democratic congressman from Arizona who would be a critical vote releasing the Epstein files. Yeah! Epstein! This has nothing to do with that it's another red herring The reason the government has closed is because Chuck Schumer and 43 of his Democrat colleagues in the Senate have decided now to vote multiple times to keep the government closed. We need them to turn the lights back on so that everyone can do their work." This is all so tedious and boring! It's the Schumer shutdown, it's Trump shut down, shitshoot-shutdown... I think the Epstein shutdown is better. And that was right off the bat, that was top o'the morning from her

06:43 We all know. Somebody set her up with that? Well of course! Some writer... Yeah, what else do you- like she has a brain? No. Somebody put that in there. That's very funny It's good if you're gonna have the Speaker of the House get him with that one right away we all know this is about Epstein we don't know what's going on Mike Johnson well here's a couple of NPR clips just from yesterday shut down threats and PR there's a kicker in here Well, okay. And Pierre Stephen Fowler joins us! Good morning! Let's begin first with the threats to firefighters... Hey! Hey! Yeah I have far... Sorry I forgot No no that's not what i'm saying Yes Scott? Yeah I mean when we have Scott Simon you've got to warn me so we can... I usually put SS on the in the clip title I just forgot Suffer and suck a dash! I'm Scott

CHAPTER 04 / 55 Discussion

Federal Worker Firing Threats, Hakeem Jeffries, and DOGE

White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt discusses the administration's efforts to identify non-essential federal agencies, while unions file lawsuits over the legality of firing threats during a shutdown. Representative Hakeem Jeffries claims the administration has been violating the law by laying off workers since day one. The hosts note that despite the rhetoric, Treasury data shows government spending and hiring have actually increased.

hakeem jeffries· caroline leavitt· doge· federal employees· department of treasury

07:43 Simon and PR Steven Fowler joins us. Good morning! Let's begin first with the threats to fire federal workers, has anyone actually been let go yet? Well so far they're just threats here is White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt speaking to Morning Edition yesterday The President is meeting with the Office of Management and Budget To try to understand what agencies are essential What agencies do not align with the administration priorities and values Here's the thing to think about though, Scott. Any of these reductions in force or RIF efforts that would come would have to be from the leaders of these federal agencies. President Trump can't make them happen and neither can Russ Vogt, the head of the Office of Management and Budget. RIF rules are pretty particular about the amount of time and notice they have to give before they can take effect

08:29 There's also a lawsuit that has been filed from federal workers' unions saying that the threat of firing workers, especially during a shutdown is illegal. This goes right back to the Doge executive order. Good luck! Yes exactly and so by the way, the threat supposedly of firing is illegal Oh, the threat not the actual firing but the threat of it. You're paying attention to the words as always. That's what they said and I think that is absolutely... It should be illegal! They are suing

09:07 But there hasn't been any firings, but they're suing anyway because of the threat. It's the threat yes. So here is the kicker. Hakeem Jeffries said this in an NPR interview earlier this week. The Trump administration has been out of control since day one. They've been laying people off since day one. They've been firing federal employees since day one and they have been violating the law since day one. noting that agencies have been hiring back hundreds of workers they let go earlier this year and treasury data shows spending has actually increased instead of decreased.

10:02 What? Maybe. So we listen to all this bull crap on and oh they're firing, Oh and Jeffries goes on there firing everybody we don't know what to do about it We're suing them And the government budget has gone up because they keep hiring more people Are you kidding me Well the budget did go up It went up for... Well, the budget. The ceiling went up but the budget it this is ridiculous they have done nothing Trump hasn't backed it off even an inch or an iota well Doja's done nothing you're believing NPR now I mean come on We know they got at least 50 billion that something They want their money back What they want is all that other stuff You know a trillion and a half dollars of nonsense Stuff we definitely don't need

CHAPTER 05 / 55 Discussion

Senate Funding Impasse, John Thune, and NPR Funding

NPR reports on the Senate's failure to advance competing plans to end the government shutdown, with Republicans proposing funding through November 21st and Democrats seeking an October extension. Senate Majority Leader John Thune indicates that COVID-era healthcare tax credits remain a major sticking point. The hosts criticize NPR for failing to disclose that their own federal funding is a subject of the budget negotiations.

john thune· npr· senate· continuing resolution· federal funding

10:54 Yeah, I get it. Well yeah you could get it. There's two more clips that would be... You can go do your thing. Let's do shutdown analysis one. Okay where is this from? Oh NPR! Okay. The shutdown of the US government since Tuesday the U.S Senate has taken up the same votes to fund the government temporarily with continuing resolutions they still don't have the votes Is there an agreement even on the distant horizon? Joined now by NPR congressional correspondent Barbara Sprint. Barbara, thanks for being with us! It's so good to have Scott back on the sheen Hey thank you The Senate yesterday failed once more to advance competing plans to extend federal funding and end the shutdown How are those plans different again? Well one is a GOP plan that has already passed the House it would fund the government through November 21st

11:49 And then there's a Democratic counter proposal as well. That would fund the government through October, and it includes an extension of health care tax credits that were boosted up during the pandemic. Those are on track to expire at the end of the year. Now Republicans have said they'll negotiate on that point but only after the government is funded. Even then Senate Majority Leader John Thune has said it would not be simple process. We can't make commitments or promises on the COVID subsidies Because that's not something we can guarantee the votes are going to do. There were a few Democrats who did support the Republican proposal this week, has there been any more movement or are the numbers tightening?

12:31 No, they are not. It has been the same as that first vote where we saw two Democratic senators and one independent joining Republicans In fact there's been so little movement on any kind of negotiation between the two parties that the Senate isn't even expected to stay over the weekend and do more votes Here's Thun yesterday when asked about the possibility of weekend work Hopefully over the weekend they'll have a chance to think about it. Maybe some of these conversations start to result in something, uh... To where we can start moving some votes and actually get this thing passed Who is this woman from NPR? I'm not familiar with her. I like her voice! I like her voice. I've never heard her either No no she has a- Be quiet weekend substitute Well she has a slick suave smooth kind of vocal thing going on there It's not your typical vocal fry

13:22 It's an improvement. I'm just saying it's an improvement. Okay, well I'll try to minimize these clips. This is your off-handed way of dissing me. No not at all! Don't they also want NPR and PBS refunded? Of that big whopping 1% isn't that also part of this? Yeah yeah they have to have the money back Well so shouldn't NPR disclaim and say part of the demands are to bring us money, so just so you know that it involves us. They should have some kind of what do you call that? Full disclosure. A disclaimer! Full disclosure! Yeah I've been listening...I listened to NPR all day yesterday to get some of these clips Oh my god did you need to take Advil? Yes I did but the point is no they've never said that once No of course not

CHAPTER 06 / 55 Discussion

Targeted Spending Cuts, Bernie Sanders, and Shutdown Loopholes

The administration is accused of targeting spending cuts in areas with high Democratic voter concentrations, such as transportation projects in New York. Senator Bernie Sanders labels these tactics unconstitutional and illegal, while the White House blames Chuck Schumer for the halted projects. An anecdote is shared regarding how some national parks remain accessible during the shutdown via gate codes obtained prior to the closure.

bernie sanders· chuck schumer· new york· transportation projects· federal funding

14:12 I mean, they'll do it when they do like a story about John Deere. They'll say something like well John Deere also is... Also, you know, Dunder writes the show but here we're going to talk about it. But they didn't know they have not done that and they should have your right let's go with this second part of this. The impasse is essentially this because the Senate needs Democrats to reach that 60 vote threshold to pass this kind of bill Democrats who of course are very little power as a party in minority say that demanding there be some kind negotiations between the two parties is appropriate Unsurprisingly, Republicans do not share that view. They say Democrats are holding the American people hostage via this shutdown. Of course in the meantime the White House is proceeding with plans to cut programs and spending often it seems in areas with lots of Democratic voters what does the argument they make here? Well this is very much in line with the administration's thesis when it comes to its role and cutting programs and government workers

15:11 Items on the chopping block include some transportation projects in New York, the home state of both the House and Senate Democratic leaders. Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt told our colleague Stephen Skipp yesterday that the administration views that as minority leader Chuck Schumer's fault They can't show up to work right now. So that project is currently temporarily halted because of Chuck Schumer's shutdown, so Chuck Schumer did that to himself. He did that to his constituents in New York. And how do Democrats respond? Well, Democrats have called this an intimidation tactic. They've blasted a plan from the White House's budget arm to fire federal workers instead of temporarily furloughing them which is usually what happens in a shutdown. Independent Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont said he thinks that plan will backfire. And the idea that you have a president who says hey your state voted against me we're gonna cut funding for

16:05 That is not only illegal, not only outrageous. It is unconstitutional. These people are old and decrepit and I'm tired of them And it's fine if you say that about me in 20 years But right now I'm tired of them You know what they should do? So the Democrats need something to save face Here's what I would do If I was the president I would say, okay we'll give you your circumcisions in Albania back. We'll give you your LGBTQ pride parade in Morocco whatever it is...we will give all that back Are you happy now? Is that really what its all about? Is that what you want? Give them something! They need something. Im sure the climate change stuff is what he's thinking of giving back or something like that

16:54 That's the art of the deal. The art of the deal, he has to give up something sometime or really just keep it going for a month I think they should keep it going forever Well shut down that Lyndon Johnson Park By the way you can still just get in It's not like... Oh you go in and there is no gate guard? It's not like you can't walk into the park Yeah friend of ours and her friends they were all camping out here and they came by last night, yesterday afternoon. And I said what was the park shut down? Yeah we had the code because we booked it before the shutdown so he just had the code and went right in. The code...I got a gatecode Well our ATC producers and our CBP producers

Donald Trump OAN Interview, Tariffs, and National Debt

Donald Trump grants an interview to OAN where he proposes a "dividend to the people" of $1,000 to $2,000 funded by tariff revenue. Trump claims that unprecedented tariff income, projected to exceed $1 trillion, will allow the U.S. to grow its way out of the $36 trillion national debt. The hosts analyze Trump's repetitive speech patterns and his claims regarding the country's leverage.

donald trump· oan· tariffs· national debt· dividend

17:44 I'm thinking, why doesn't some entrepreneurial type have the gate code and go stand there at the thing and collect money? Yeah. Take money! Put on a uniform. Yeah put on a hard hat... And a clipboard. ...and the orange vest. And a clipboard. You're on the list. Hey we should do no agenda meetups in these parks now. There's all kinds of good ideas Well, while this is going on the president has an interview scheduled to air tonight. He's chosen... This time he's chosen a different network Typically it goes for one of the big three Now he's chosen OAN for his big interview

18:26 which I think is an interesting move, the home of Matt Gaetz. Although it's not Matt Gaetz to do the interview and he has got some promises! We also might make a distribution to the people almost like a dividend to the people of America How much are you thinking for that sir? Well we're thinking maybe $1000-$2000 Yeah! Be great Inflation is completely stable It's around target rate And the country is ultimately taking in unprecedented amounts of tariff revenue, more than $200 billion at this point in time. Sir what do you believe this extra source of revenue can be put towards? How big a game changer is it for your administration? Well ultimately yeah because we're talking about just kicking in they're just starting to kick kick in but ultimately your tariffs are going to be over trillion dollars here my opinion

19:16 We're going to do something, we're looking at something where number one we are paying down debt because people have allowed the debt to go crazy. But you know with growth with the kind of growth that we have now the debt is very little rather than speaking. And were gonna grow our way out of it! You grow yourself out of that debt its not a question of paying it, you grow yourself out and the numbers are so much bigger then they ever were The numbers we have now are bigger then they ever were So when you have 36 trillion dollars in debt How many times did he What? Stop. Yeah, he has this tendency when he's bigger than ever bigger when it is full of it just to repeat the phrase as biggest if you back it up he says well did numbers gonna be bigger than ever they're gonna be bigger than ever that they're gonna be bigger than every keep saying the same thing and I'll say twice at least I think he's saying that the debt numbers are bigger than ever well that isn't for sure grow yourself out and the numbers are so much bigger than they ever were the numbers we have now or bigger than they ever were

20:12 So when you have $36 trillion in debt a year ago or two years ago and you have a lot less revenue coming in, then you have 37 or 38. It's not 38 yet but it will be and the numbers are so much bigger all of a sudden 38 your under levered whereas for 36 you were highly levered we're not highly levered anymore now with that being said will pay back debt? We're not highly levered anymore He should say, you know the checks should be giant checks. Did you know that publishers clearing house went out of business?

CHAPTER 08 / 55 Discussion

Publishers Clearing House Bankruptcy, Trump Commemorative Coin

The hosts discuss the reported bankruptcy of Publishers Clearing House and the loss of benefits for long-term winners. They also examine a Treasury Department plan to mint a $1 commemorative coin featuring Donald Trump's profile for the U.S. 250th anniversary. The coin's design reportedly includes the "Fight! Fight! Fight!" imagery from the Butler, Pennsylvania assassination attempt.

publishers clearing house· treasury department· commemorative coin· bankruptcy· 250th anniversary

20:49 Yeah, it's been for a while now. A couple of I think they went bankrupt and they pulled the plug on all these poor people that were collecting monthly benefits Yes! And some company bought them They're gonna reinstate under a new name but the people who got screwed are not going to get any money You're done That seems like... That's why you always take the cash out You gotta take the cash So i'm listening If they don't give you the cash out you can find various financial operations that give you collars on that Get a collar So, this is going on and I read on CNBC. Well, I did misread the headline. It said Treasury Way's minting...I thought it was gonna be a $1 trillion coin. Treasury Way is minting one trillion dollar coin with Trump's face for US 250th anniversary and then I realized it's a $1 coin. I was excited! I'm like oh the trillion-dollar coin is back

21:42 They're going to mint a coin with Trump's head on it? A dollar coin. It has his head, en profile, liberty in God we trust 1776 on the other side I thought that was like illegal or is always assumed not you did do when the guy was alive it's a commemorative coin so you can do that they're all yeah well So, and the other side will have the iconic photo of him and the flag. And fight! Fight! Fight! No. Yes. That's corny It's a draft picture... Of course it's corny

CHAPTER 09 / 55 Discussion

Tammy Duckworth, National Guard Federalization, and Chicago Crime

Senator Tammy Duckworth criticizes the federalization of 300 Illinois National Guardsmen against Governor J.B. Pritzker's wishes. Duckworth argues the move is a misuse of the Guard and accuses the administration of defunding the police by diverting $800 million in crime prevention funds. The hosts compare Duckworth's speaking style to Mazie Hirono and discuss the history of police corruption in Chicago.

tammy duckworth· national guard· chicago· j.b. pritzker· federalization

22:19 But, you know is putting your opponent in a sombrero any less corny? Well no that's funny. And it has gone out of control there are at least 20 new ones out there with different sombreros they're dancing They better come out with the stablecoin gambit pretty quickly they got to start launching that I don't know what the plan is but if you want to spread our debt to the rest of the world You've gotta get that going Meanwhile Senator Tammy Duckworth was on CBS Face the Nation with Margaret and this was actually kind of I didn't know how annoying, I thought she was. I think because you look at her she didn't have a... She's a veteran so she had thinks she lost a leg or did she lose two legs? Something like that So you never really pay attention to her because if you're looking at it like oh man feel bad for her And thank you for your service

23:18 But when you listen to her in audio, it's like. So she's talking about what's going on with the guardsmen in Chicago? So I have to ask you about what the president announced yesterday in regard to federalizing 300 national guardsman out in the state of Illinois. We've heard this threat going back all the way to August. The governor says these are not needed. Do you have any idea when they'll arrive? Well, I believe they're going to be Illinois National Guardsmen. So they're not gonna be coming from out of state. I spoke with our governor yesterday and it looks like it's gonna be about 300 Illinois guardsman. She sounds a bit like Macy Hirono except she talks a little bit faster but she has the same kind of intonation as me from Hawaii

24:04 and probably just as dumb. Who will be activated against the governor's wishes, so they'll be homegrown Illinoisans and there are brothers and sisters our neighbors I probably served with quite a number of them certainly the leadership. Probably not. And you know that at home we'll welcome them it's a misuse of the National Guard their not needed in this particular role if President Trump really wanted to fight crime then maybe he should stop defunding the police What? This is my favorite bit. So Trump is now defunding the police, this is great! And then maybe you should stop defunding the police he you know he diverted 800 million dollars in crime prevention efforts away from that was appropriated away from funding for our police officers so... You know I don't know why we're gonna welcome them because they're our brothers and sisters and were proud of our National Guard. If you look at the Chicago budget

24:57 The number one expenditure is police, which is kind of crazy because they're not doing a great job and most people think. And most of the anarchists in Chicago I know a couple they want to defund the police they hate the Chicago Police They hate them with a passion which kinda reminds me Back in the days, was it Mad Magazine or Cracked? I think it was Cracked probably. They always had the Chicago cops always portrayed as these horrible brutes... Was that Cracked magazine? Am I thinking about the right magazine? It could be mad, it just doesn't matter. Yeah there's brutes... But they're notorious and I lived in Chicago when i was a kid and then you parents my parents were from Chicago and you find out certain things like for example on the uh there's a bunch of you always supposed to bribing the cops is always considered the thing you always do and it's always done the same way you keep your driver's license in a little

CHAPTER 10 / 55 Discussion

Traffic Stop Anecdotes, Bribing Cops, and Texas License Plates

A host recounts a historical anecdote about avoiding a ticket in Chicago because the officer assumed a California driver wouldn't know how to properly execute a bribe. A second story involves a recent traffic stop in Texas where a driver was warned about the lack of a front license plate. The hosts discuss the regional differences in law enforcement behavior and the ongoing debate over front license plate requirements in Texas.

chicago· texas· bribery· license plates· highway patrol

25:57 sell a feigned pack and there's $100 bill tucked behind the driver's license. And so when you get pulled over for something, if it's usually something stupid and it's usually... There is good element of this taking place on the route to the airport. It's the funniest thing that has happened at one time I was... A new story! Something we haven't heard yet I was driving to the airport and a cop pulls me over for doing 36 in the 35 zone or something like that. You know, so you were speeding he says this driver's license I show him the license look took one look for it He took a look and flipped it over just if there was any money or anything attached but then he saw it said California

26:37 Oh, yeah. And he figured I didn't know what the hell I was doing and how to bribe him so he just gives me the license plate and says move along! He got rid of me instead of wasting his time. Tina got pulled over by DPS, Department Of Public Safety So I think the highway patrol falls on a DPS, but it wasn't Highway Patrol and she got pulled over. And I know my wife she's...she's a rule follower. She said you were speeding! She says no I wasn't and he's shining the light in her eyes It's Friday night so you know they expect people to be drunk on the roads fair enough He was like yeah you were speeding You don't have a front license plate This is a big deal in Texas There's this ongoing fight

27:27 Like, we don't want front license plates for some reason. And most cars don't really have a spot for it if you buy them in Texas." So he gave her a warning like how could you prove that she was speeding? She had no proof. Harassment of a pretty girl, of course so no payoffs here try that I wonder if that'll work in Texas trying to pay off a cop I don't think that will work Anyway, we continue with this lady about what's happening in Chicago. He has surged or the federal government has surged agents from different groups. The FBI said yesterday they're sending folks in. Tell me about these protests because the images look pretty intense of what has happened

CHAPTER 11 / 55 Discussion

ICE Shooting in Chicago, Protest Documentation, and Federal Tactics

Senator Tammy Duckworth discusses an incident where ICE agents shot a woman in Chicago's Brighton Park, claiming the administration is lying about the details. Secretary Kristi Noem defends the agents, stating they fired defensive shots after being surrounded. Duckworth encourages protesters to videotape all interactions with federal agents to document alleged aggressive tactics, including the use of zip ties on children.

ice· chicago· kristi noem· first amendment· federal agents

28:16 between people on the streets of Chicago. We're showing some of that video now around immigration issues, as I understand yesterday ICE authorities shot a Chicago woman in the Brighton Park area Secretary Noem claimed ice fired defensive shots at this woman who was armed who had appeared in a Border Patrol intelligence bulletin previously she claims that federal agents were surrounded and were threatened What are local authorities telling you about what they think happened here? Well, they lie. Right? The Trump administration lies we have a president who's a known liar and I'm questioning if this isn't Macy Hirono how can this be I mean that's not Macy Hirono you're correct she talks slower

29:03 and she has a more of a sing-song voice. And she is incredibly... She just sounds dumb! Is this a milio, maybe? A milio thing? Well the Hawaiian accent is very noticeable it's also very reminiscent of various American Indian tribe accents It up talks a bit, it can be slow and plodding, it's a plodding accent It can be extremely annoying and it can sometimes sound stupid. They have been... Bingo! They've been lying about the situation all along, and in fact they even shot tear grenades, tear gas grenades I think at a reporter who was simply driving by with her window open. And so we're urging people, we're urging our protesters remain calm peaceful protests exercise your First Amendment rights

29:57 But videotape everything, everybody has a phone tape everything so we actually have real evidence of what is happening. We know the Trump administration lies consistently and what I am hearing is that for the large part people are being very quiet or being very respectful but ISIS being very aggressive remember that they are zip tying children. They're raiding apartment blocks in middle of night separating children from their families pulling people out onto the streets naked. are using tactics in Chicago. And this is what Trump wants to do, right? He wants to intimidate the people of Chicago that's not going to happen and we're going to document everything and make sure just as the judge in Portland said that these requirements these orders from the Trump administration are not actually tied to reality

CHAPTER 12 / 55 Discussion

Stephen Miller, Memphis Crime, and Tourette's Observations

The hosts observe physical tics in Stephen Miller, suggesting he may have Tourette Syndrome based on their personal experience with the condition. Miller is heard pledging "all of government" support to the Memphis Police Department to combat gangs and drug cartels. He promises that federal agents from the ATF, DEA, and FBI will work "shoulder to shoulder" with local cops to liberate the city from criminal elements.

stephen miller· memphis· tourette syndrome· law enforcement· violent crime

30:44 Okay, so I think this is really just a lead-in and there is a form of get comfortable with it Chicago and Memphis and Oregon. Get comfortable with it because we're going after crime And I've been doing a little bit of looking around here in there and I found this clip of Stephen Miller And it kind of fits in with- Stephen Miller, the guy that Trump administration guy? Yeah. That guy has a tick. He's has Tourette's by the way Oh he's a brother His tick I can tell you what his ticket is and people could start to look for it yeah he is he has this his head will be looking talking to you and then he will have a uncontrollable jerk of his entire head

31:37 Down about I'd say a quarter of an inch and over to the right always to the right his, right? Okay About another quarter of an inch in this it was that he'll do it when he gets a little nervous He'll start to do it. And he can do it two times in a row But as it's an obvious And I consider myself an expert on this, having worked with somebody for almost 20 years who has Tourette's. Who would that be? But also saw the long documentary and kind of considered myself an expert You're an expert! but I spot this stuff and if you see it once you see it you'll agree with me

32:12 Yes, well so there's hope for me in politics. That can have a job in the White House! Here is what he said... To the Memphis Police Department and to the officers that I see sitting in front of me we are about to provide you with a level of support you cannot even imagine This isn't just a task force, this is an all of government unlimited support operation. ATF DEA FBI ICE Department of War every resource we have and they're not going to be sitting behind the desk at keyboard We are sending in real cops with guns and badges to go out with you on the street every single night making arrests

32:57 These are people who have taken down drug cartels, kingpins the worst criminal offenders in the United States Standing with you shoulder to shoulder to shoulder All we ask from you is to show up at roll call every single night With your brothers and sisters in the federal government and to go out and get the criminals off the street And if you do that I pledge to you We will liberate this city from the criminal element that has plagued it for generations. This is not just a strategy shift, this is an attitude shift! We are not going to live in an environment anywhere where there is a street that belongs to a criminal, where there is a neighborhood that belongs to a gang. Where there's any physical space anywhere that belongs to anyone other than the law-abiding citizens and families of Memphis The idea that there was a square inch of block in this city where a citizen doesn't feel safe is unacceptable This is Memphis! This is the United States of America

34:00 and all that bullshit is done. It's over, it's finished." There's your Tourette's right there. Blah blah bullshit! So this is actually part of something much bigger I believe and I'm gonna get to the North Sea Nexus on this one We heard this mentioned a while back during maybe one of those AG Barbie things where they all sudden Cash Patel started talking about Operation Summer Heat Do you recall that? I think we know, I can't keep track of all these operations. Well so this op has been going on for the summer and here's Kash Patel to bring us up to speed as i said this is breaking news We've kept it quiet for the summer Operation Summer Heat was a three-month surge by the FBI with our state local partners We start at the end of June and we just wrapped up at the end of September And what we did was follow one theme crushing violent crime one of this administration's key priorities and we went into

CHAPTER 13 / 55 Discussion

Kash Patel, Operation Summer Heat, and Crime Statistics

Kash Patel unveils the results of "Operation Summer Heat," a three-month FBI surge targeting violent crime in 55 field offices. The operation reportedly resulted in 8,700 arrests, 2,000 indictments, and the seizure of 421 kilograms of fentanyl. Patel also highlights the recovery of nearly 1,000 child victims of sexual trafficking and abuse during the surge.

kash patel· fbi· operation summer heat· fentanyl· human trafficking

34:59 Every single field office we have, 55 field offices scattered across the country. And today we're going to unveil the results of Operation Summer Heat and what law enforcement can do when you let good cops be cops I think a quick historical analysis is important here You have to recognize that there was an explosion in violent crime It didn't happen in a month or six months It happened over the course of years due to the prior administration's laxicodasical approach against crime. Did he say laxicodesical? That's a new one! Over the course of years, due to the prior administration's laxicodesical approach against crime and violent criminals took advantage of that so the FBI under my leadership we came in and said okay okay violent crimes exploding everybody knows that we see that you can't walk around these cities anymore people are getting shot kids are getting shot drugs are killing our youth

35:46 We need to do what the FBI is best at and crush violent crime. So we targeted all the major cities in the country, you can't just walk into a city and say okay there's 150 law enforcement officers here let's go arrest people You have to build a ground game of intelligence that takes months That's what we did in Memphis That's what we did in Chicago That's what we did in New Orleans And that's why at President Trumps direction we went in quietly months ago into these cities To set phase zero one Now we're going in with the guard to complete that project and that's the beauty of operations like Summer Heat. Okay, so they've been at this for a couple of months have been setting it up and of course this is in large part about drugs because what most of the gang activity is related too And here are the results so far... Summer heat had 8700 arrests

36:32 In three months, summer heat had 2,281 firearms seized permanently off our streets. Three months fentanyl 421 kilograms by the way that's enough to kill over 50 million Americans. 50 million? 50 million on the low end that's a conservative estimate lethal doses off that seizure 45,000 kilograms of cocaine. We conducted operations that led us to 2,000 indictments and 1400 convictions and the bulk of that work came from our violent crime in gang forces I want to highlight that because that was the focus of Summer Heat 6500 of this casework came specifically out of that And here's something that is not on this chart Operation Summer Heat

37:14 found and located almost 1,000 child victims and returned them to safety. Sexual trafficking? Victims of sexual trafficking, victims of home abuse, victims of rape and violent crimes against children So a couple people sent me this Substack article about how Trump is rolling up the drug scourge once and for all It was very interesting because it points directly back to the City of London and really the Panama Papers, interestingly. About how there's 50-75 trillion dollars that has been made through drug trade a lot of that went to our streets

CHAPTER 14 / 55 Discussion

Global Drug Trade, East India Company, and Downton Abbey

The hosts connect modern drug trafficking to historical precedents, citing the East India Company's role in the Opium Wars. They reference the final season of Downton Abbey to illustrate the decline of the British elite whose wealth was built on illicit trade. The discussion suggests that the global economy remains heavily dependent on the illicit drug trade and that historical animosities toward American success persist.

east india company· opium wars· downton abbey· drug economy· city of london

37:55 You know, we typically—oh, Fenton will blame China. But if you really—and we've always looked at the…you know I think I've said many times in the past if you stop the illegal drug trade our country would collapse. The economy runs on drugs and probably most of the world economy runs on illicit drugs and to some degree on legal drugs certainly here. We got everybody on some kind of drug. As I'm thinking about, we're also now in season six last season of Downton Abbey and you look at this is 1925 now. You kind of look at these the royal extensions of the royal family, the British elite and their houses are starting to crumble they're running out of money because they never worked

38:43 You know, how'd they get the money? Well they were all part of the East India Company and of course they had the opium wars on China which is their favorite way of doing it. They hooked what was it 40 million Chinese on opium. They transport all the slaves to the new world as an aside very prominent in this series is that hatred for the Jews and for the Catholics. Of course they were Irish Catholics and hated the New World success, which you know it's only been a hundred years. And as I've said, I don't think that has stopped that hatred of our success So they continue what they're very good at is the drug trade and maybe we can screw America this way... ...and i got three clips here from my favorite old ladies Promethean Action who gave us a little rundown

CHAPTER 15 / 55 Discussion

Bertrand Russell, Scientific Dictatorship, and Mass Psychology

Promethean Action analysts review Bertrand Russell's 1951 work, "The Impact of Science on Society," which predicted a future scientific dictatorship. Russell described using education and propaganda to produce "unshakable convictions" in children, such as the idea that snow is black. The hosts compare these historical theories to modern educational initiatives like Common Core and the influence of Bill Gates.

bertrand russell· mass psychology· scientific dictatorship· indoctrination· promethean action

39:31 on the concept from these, from the North Sea Nexus and we start with a famous guy Bertrand Russell. Can you give me a little background on Bertrand Russell? Bertrand Russell, who lived to be about a hundred and made the claim that he didn't like eating meat because it was eating a corpse. Oh I thought you meant that he'd rather eat a corpse now i understand what you're saying yeah wrote a lot of plays and was top notch, one of the top intellectuals out of the UK. He was considered a creme de la crème of the great thinkers. So I could have read this but the Promethean Action ladies they read it for us so here's a little excerpt from Bertrand Russell... I just want to talk about three people today Bertrand Russell Aldous Huxley and George

40:27 Soros. The three of them together described the cultural attack our nation has suffered since our elites declared the post-industrial society in 1971 and sold us out." By the way, 1971 is an interesting year! That's the year we got off the gold standard. I just wanted to mention that I found that to be very coincidental Here is Lord Russell in 1951, in his work The Impact of Science on Society describing the future as he saw it. I think the subject which will be of most importance politically is mass psychology its importance has been enormously increased by the growth a modern methods propaganda

41:09 Of these, the most influential is what is called education. The subject will make great strides when it's taken up by scientists under a scientific dictatorship. Sounds like Common Core and Bill Gates to me! The social psychologists of the future will have a number of classes of school children on whom they will try different methods of producing an unshakable conviction that snow is black. Various results will soon be arrived at First, that the influence of the home is obstructive. Second, that not much can be done unless indoctrination begins before the age of 10. Third, that verses set to music and repeatedly intoned are very effective. Fourth, that the opinion that Snow is white must be held to show a morbid sense of eccentricity

CHAPTER 16 / 55 Discussion

Classical Music for Pest Control, Scott Adams, and Pop Propaganda

A host shares a tip about playing 24/7 classical music to keep pests out of a home using subsonic frequencies from large woofers. They recount a conversation with Scott Adams, who avoids pop music because he views it as subconsciously designed propaganda. The discussion touches on the violent themes and repetitive beats in modern hip-hop as a form of societal conditioning.

scott adams· classical music· pest control· propaganda· hip-hop

42:00 Sounds very familiar to me when I hear all these things, you know break up the home. I like this song thing I should do a little site as well. Please sir please do which is If you've ever visited but nobody does but I was at Scott Adams house and I noticed that he He never has any because I don't have in my house 24-7 classical music I have 20 I have music playing in my house 24 7 classical music And it's for various reasons. It's good one thing the low notes keep varmints out that's for one thing especially have a couple 15 inches. Wait a minute, hold on a second you'll never have problems The low notes keep the varmints out? Yeah bugs or just or mice and rats? Bugs So class this is a tip of the day

42:49 Classy good tip by the way classical music will keep bugs out of your house. Oh well if you have you would yes, but I'm using some down thrusting 15-inch woofers in there that's what you want creates a subsonic sound that the bugs don't like and And does it matter, can it be Vivaldi or does it have to be Wagner? We have a couple of classical streaming stations. I just play everything. And also they can't hear the cries from the basement which is kind of good Yeah they're very useful and so Adams has never had any...I said you know how it came up in the conversation but he says

43:29 No, it's just all priest as I can't you don't you shouldn't play music because it's all propaganda. He's not talking about classical he's talking about pop music people always playing You know to get their headphones on there are popping around and he's of the opinion that is all subconsciously designed Propaganda that you should not be subjecting yourself to 24-7 especially if you're going or floating around and that's what I think is what Bertrand Russell said there in his commentary. Well, especially the beats part I mean listen...I mean there's a whole category of songs about smack your bitch up and you know killing each other and yeah it was called hip-hop. There is alot of violence in the music. It's called modern hip hop yes very violent so and its definitely with beats okay so that's one Aldous Huxley of course no stranger to the show. Aldous Huxley was part of Russell's nest in British intelligence along with The Saved Nest's Alison Crowley

CHAPTER 17 / 55 Discussion

Aldous Huxley, Pharmacological Revolution, and Doom Scrolling

The hosts examine Aldous Huxley's 1961 warnings about a "painless concentration camp" where societies enjoy their loss of liberty through pharmacological distraction. They link this to the modern prevalence of drugs like Adderall and Ritalin, as well as the psychological impact of "doom scrolling." The segment references Neil Postman's "Amusing Ourselves to Death" as a framework for understanding modern technological addiction.

aldous huxley· brainwashing· pharmacology· neil postman· adderall

44:25 He played a huge role in the 1970s counterculture. Speaking to a 1961 conference sponsored by The Voice of America, Huxley said the following... so to speak, producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies so that the people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them but will rather enjoy it because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda or brainwashing. A brainwashing enhanced my pharmacological methods and this seems to be the final revolution

45:10 And I'd say that's spot on. Adderall, Ritalin, micro-dosing of ketamine... All of this is going on and that kind of folds into Neil Postman's amusing ourselves to death, you know because now I'd say the pharmacological piece is one part but we also have the doom scrolling as another part which kind of shifts shifts the responsibility a little bit. But i just thought yeah okay that makes sense that all those Huxley would say that and of course we can't leave out the mega Brit

CHAPTER 18 / 55 Discussion

George Soros, Drug Decriminalization, and British Finance

The discussion focuses on George Soros's career and his alleged ties to major British financiers and the Rothschild family. Soros is criticized for using his Drug Policy Institute to manufacture a belief that the War on Drugs is a waste of money. The hosts also claim that Soros and USAID have supported drug cartels in Latin America to destabilize nationalist governments, citing a photo of a New York Stock Exchange head with a FARC leader.

george soros· drug policy institute· rothschild· usaid· farc

45:46 George Soros. George Soros' career has been sponsored at all times by major British financiers, including the Rothschild's and the Queen. He has played a major public role in implementing this policy in the US and Latin America along with the U.S. and British governments from 1979 forward. Soros through his Drug Policy Institute led campaigns for drug decriminalization and legalization When you hear someone say the war on drugs is a waste of money and an offense to personal freedom, that's the manufactured belief this campaign created. In addition Soros, the National Endowment for Democracy and USAID led campaigns throughout Latin America to overthrow nationalist governments and support the drug cartels. This picture showing the head of The New York Stock Exchange

46:42 embracing Raul Reyes of the drug-running FARC in Colombia speaks a thousand words. So if I look at the second Trump administration's track records, you know Department of Education USAID now going after the drugs on the streets But not just on the street, this really hasn't gotten a lot of play because of the shutdown. It's gotten to play and that said the drug boats from Venezuela. Admiral I want to ask you about in terms of Venezuela You've seen those attacks those US strikes on boats that the president said are drug smugglers or drug traffickers, drug cartels What's your take on that?

CHAPTER 19 / 55 Discussion

Venezuela Drug Boat Strikes, Obama Kill List, and International Law

The U.S. military has conducted several strikes on drug smuggling boats off the coast of Venezuela, leading to debates over the legality of treating cartel members as enemy combatants. The hosts compare these actions to President Obama's "kill list" and the use of "double tap" drone strikes in sovereign nations. They argue that the current criticism of Trump's maritime strikes is hypocritical given the history of previous administrations' extrajudicial killings.

venezuela· drug cartels· barack obama· drone strikes· international law

47:20 Well, we always people think of me as the NATO guy but I spent almost four years as commander a Southern command. I would have been in charge to those operations So as a commander you're thinking what are we trying to do here? I think what we're trying to do tactically is knock down drugs We're trying to deter drug smugglers. We're trying to send a pretty strong signal to Maduro and we're sending a larger signal that Cuba and Nicaragua so I can see the impetus for all this my concern would be if i were the commander right now how strong is the evidence

47:56 that I'm holding in hand, that can allow me to consider these people enemy combatants. We really haven't seen much of that evidence. I think the administration would be wise to release at least some of that so they can justify these kind of extremely aggressive military strikes. And just quickly if you can, the legality of this he says it is an armed conflict with drug cartels It's right on the edge and that is why see paragraph one. Let's get the evidence out, not the sources and methods but what are we basing this on? And then let's also capture a few of them alongside the more aggressive means because you want the intelligence You want to be able to interrogate, you want to be able to hold those drug smugglers

48:46 accountable in our court system, so it's right on the edge. It's really interesting the amount of people who are pushing back on this blowing up the drug smuggling boats you know, oh well you know Trump's just killing people willy-nilly and this can't be done. And I'm like why? You know what I find the contrast to be interesting here is because of what Obama did with his kill list. Yeah one every Tuesday! He would blow these guys up all over the place in sovereign country he wouldn't do it on the open seas it would be in a sovereign country blow up a bunch of guys and then he did which

49:24 which was really disgusting, was the double tap. Yes! Exactly! The minute they came back... When help came in yes. As soon as they said they'd blow up a pack what he said was a bunch of terrorists and you know may or may not have been and he decides to blow them up He blows him up with a drone with a predator drone And he joked about it in one of the correspondence centers about predator drones blows them up, and then they wait a while so all the ambulances and Red Crescent or whatever comes to help these people. Then they hit them again to kill those people. That seems a little more extreme especially on a sovereign nation

50:10 then blowing up a boat on the open waters, which they're making a big fuss about. But let's go back and be realistic here if we're going to be critical. And of course, we saw some of that in the in the videotape that Glenn Greenwald got. They also showed the video of the blowing up of the terrorist cells, yeah? Which was shut down real quick and not talked about anymore even by Glenn Greenwald but it didn't affect money, the drug money that I think a lot of people that we're unaware of are benefiting from. So I was looking for some analysis on this and I found a report from Deutsche Welle will kick it off here. The United States has announced that it has carried out a new strike on a boat off the coast of Venezuela, the fourth in recent weeks. This one comes after President Donald Trump declared that the US is at war with drug cartels

CHAPTER 20 / 55 Discussion

Christopher Sabatini, Chatham House, and Narco-Terrorism

Christopher Sabatini of Chatham House analyzes the Trump administration's declaration of war against drug cartels, arguing it is an attempt to bypass due process for civilians. Sabatini suggests the strikes violate international norms and the War Powers Act. The hosts highlight Sabatini's extensive ties to elite institutions like Columbia and Harvard, viewing him as a representative of the "British invasion" in U.S. policy.

christopher sabatini· chatham house· nicolas maduro· narco-terrorism· war powers act

51:07 He made the designation in a notice sent to Congress on Wednesday, which has been seen by multiple media outlets. It says... Last month, the U.S said it carried out three deadly military strikes on boats in the Caribbean and international waters near Venezuela It alleges that they were smuggling drugs The US has also built up its naval forces in the area and dispatched 10 F-35 aircraft to Puerto Rico a us territory It's the biggest military deployment in the caribbean in decades

51:51 The strikes have raised questions about whether the US military is legally entitled to kill alleged cartel members under domestic and international law. By declaring the US is involved in an armed conflict with the cartels, The Trump administration aims to provide a legal rationale for its actions. But the attacks have also increased tensions between the US and Venezuela. Venezuela's left-wing authoritarian president, Nicolas Maduro has accused Trump of a covert bid oust him. The Trump administration accuses Maduro of being a narco-terrorist and drug cartel leader, and is offering a $50 million bounty for his arrest." So they bring in an expert on this, Christopher Sabatini. Listen to his resume. Senior fellow for Latin America at Chatham House

52:42 Lecture in discipline... MI6. Yes, lecture in discipline in the School of International and Public Affairs at Columbia University spooks Also on the advisory board of Harvard University's LASPAU, the Advisory Committee for Human Rights Watch America's division and of the Inter-American Foundation. He is also an HFX fellow at the Halifax International Security Forum." You could not get a better guy to defend this! Do you want to say something? No. Oh, here we go. And to find out what exactly is going on here I'm joined now by Christopher Sabatini He's a senior fellow Yeah let's find out exactly what's going on here shall we? Let's get our information from this guy For Latin America at Chatham House that's an international affairs think tank based in London Mr. Sabatini it's good to have you with us President Trump says that the US is at war with drug cartels

53:42 I'm wondering first, what's the point of this notice to Congress in your opinion? Well frankly this is an attempt to cover their argument. They're trying to demonstrate that this is a war that legitimates in their view attacking civilians without due process. That whole line There is an interesting little milieu usage there that I thought was interesting. What's that? The term you normally use would be legitimize, not legitimate Is that not just an anglophilia thing? No, I don't think so. There's something fishy about using that term. Okay. I would look at it as a marker. Marker. Well...I think his resume kind of already told us this. Yeah he is already marked but its just another marker for others So he's actually going to push back again. You know, Department of Education we're getting the illegals out

CHAPTER 21 / 55 Discussion

Nicolas Maduro, Cocaine Trans-shipment, and Regime Change

The Trump administration offers a $50 million bounty for Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, accusing him of leading the "Cartel de los Soles." Expert Christopher Sabatini disputes the U.S. narrative, claiming Venezuela is merely a trans-shipment point for Colombian cocaine primarily bound for Europe. The hosts question Sabatini's specific knowledge of Venezuelan airspace and suggest the U.S. is using drug enforcement as a pretext for regime change.

nicolas maduro· cocaine· colombia· regime change· cartel de los soles

54:40 What's the USAID? Hopefully going after... the, what's the word? Democracy. The endowment for democracy. All of these things are all bad for America and so now we're going after the drugs on the street and the supply lines and Chatham House is having none of it. Well frankly this is an attempt to cover their argument they're trying to demonstrate that this A war that legitimates, in their view, attacking civilians without due process. That in which they are the equivalent of combatants in a war zone. Questions have been raised across the aisle by both Republicans and Democrats

55:27 that by declaring this war on narco-terrorists, is the term they like to use it is in violation of the War Powers Act. And even in violation of international norms because they're killing civilians without due process and without them actually... Wait wait I liked a way he does this another good one another good bit he just pulled which is as a violation not in violation of international law Mind you which is which is a legitimate thing to complain about no it was a violation of international norms Good point good cat. Which is meaningless my norms yeah, yeah the new world order norms It's a violation of that we don't do that and then he says the war powers I couch it with the way You couch it makes us sound like it's at violation of international law

56:15 Right, but you say norms. But also he's full of crap because the president sent his letter to Congress He said this is a war these are terrorists here's my executive order who I've all said as a terrorist including Antifa And these guys are terrorists, so I'm going after them. So he's...I guess he has 60 days or whatever but he is within the War Powers Act which of course is super broad but you know that's beside the point. Yeah and if they don't like it they can repeal it. They don't do that. Narco-terrorists is the term they like to use It is in violation of the War Powers Act and that it's even in violation of international norms. Good point. Because they're killing civilians without due process, without them actually being armed threats so he's trying to draw this I think it's a very loose and tenuous connection

57:03 between drugs and armed combatants, which quite frankly a number of US senators again on both sides of the aisle are not quite buying. Okay well we'll pay attention to which senators are not buying it. Let's get a list of those guys! Yes we'd like to know who exactly is in with the British invasion here so how does Maduro fit into this? You know at the center of this U.S war on drug cartels is Venezuela and its president Nicolas Maduro Can you tell us what role do they play in international drug trafficking? They're large international drug traffickers as a country. They're not producers, and they are not producers at all of fentanyl. Fentanyl when it crosses the border in the US comes from Mexico oftentimes from Chinese precursors

57:47 materials. But in the case of Venezuela, what they are is a trans-shipment point for cocaine that's leaving Colombia but really only the cocaine that leaves Venezuela most of it is actually bound for Europe Only about 5% of the cocaine consumed in the United States comes across Venezuelan airspace or maritime space. Hold on a second, this guy seems to know a lot about it! He has percentages and everything! Like airspace? Are we gonna shoot down planes now?! What is this?? I think that was highly unusual.

58:33 comes across Venezuelan airspace or maritime space. Most of the cocaine that enters the United States is, comes from the Pacific or up through the Isthmus of Central America and through Mexico so this is really an attempt to try to engage in another agenda that Trump administration has which is to try to engage in regime change to take out the government They've named Nicolás Maduro and a number of his associates in the government as being members of the Carteles de los Sol, which is a narco-terrorist organization.

CHAPTER 22 / 55 Discussion

Pentagon Drug Boat Video, Pete Hegseth, and Media Coverage

Secretary Pete Hegseth and the Pentagon release video of a military strike on a suspected drug vessel, claiming intelligence confirmed it was trafficking narcotics. The administration asserts that drug smugglers are unlawful combatants, while critics demand more evidence of the cargo. The hosts note that these military operations receive significantly less mainstream media coverage than the government shutdown or celebrity scandals.

pete hegseth· pentagon· cocaine· fentanyl· media bias

59:15 And they claiming that gives them the license to effectively take them out a little little detour here for the Pentagon releasing the video of the hit tonight The Pentagon releasing this video of a deadly military air strike on what officials say without providing evidence Without any evidence was a drug boat attempting to smuggle narcotics into the u.s.. The massive explosion sending debris the the United States interests abroad. Secretary Pete Hegseth saying our intelligence without a doubt confirmed that this vessel was trafficking narcotics, the people on board were narco terrorists today's strike is the fourth known US attack on suspected Venezuelan drug boats since early September we have proof what you have to do is look at the cargo there was like it spattered all over

1:00:23 big bags of cocaine and fentanyl all over the place. Big massive bags, you all saw it! And with the Trump administration has now told Congress as rationale for the strikes that they consider drug smugglers unlawful combatants with whom we are involved in armed conflict. But critics question the legality. Oh, the critics! We'll finish up with this Maduro shill here... By the same token they've also doubled a bounty on Nicolas Maduro's head to 50 million dollars so if you happen to have any information to be able to turn him over to US authorities can make yourself a quickie

1:00:58 $50 million. That, by the way is more than the US placed on the head of Osama bin Laden and it demonstrates a general trend across this entire rhetoric and policy which is hyperbolic It's unclear really whether Cartel de los Solos actually exists as a hierarchical organized cartel, as it is being described by the Trump administration. It is unclear what extent Nicolas Maduro... He probably is very well aware of narcotics trafficking flying over Venezuelan airspace and leaving Venezuelan shores but its unclear whether this truly an organized

1:01:34 operational cartel with him sitting at the head. But that's very much what the Trump administration wants to portray, but again UNODC, UN Office of Drugs and Crime as well as independent investigators really questioned the logic and evidence that the Trump administration is putting forward to make these claims. Everybody's in on this they're all in on the money train with us as far as I'm concerned And what's interesting is that we've blown up four of these boats it really doesn't get them the same amount of play mainstream media as the shutdown, Epstein of course that's gone down a little bit Diddy etc. And online we are obsessed with one thing and one thing only here's Nick Flintus. So who owns your mind? Zuckerberg runs Meta which is Facebook and Instagram Jewish Alphabet which owns Google at YouTube is run by a couple of Jews Larry Page Sergey Brin okay

CHAPTER 23 / 55 Discussion

Nick Fuentes, Media Ownership, and Anti-Israel Rhetoric

The hosts critique Nick Fuentes' claims regarding Jewish control of major media platforms and social media. They argue that Fuentes is likely an "op" designed to fuel antisemitism, which they link to historical British strategies in the Middle East. The discussion explores the danger of the "Zionists run everything" narrative and its prevalence in modern political discourse.

nick fuentes· media ownership· zionism· israel· antisemitism

1:02:30 That's YouTube, Google, Facebook, Instagram. TikTok is now owned by Larry Ellison so that's TikTok as well those are your social platforms out of the big media conglomerates you got Disney which is run by Bob Iger You've got NBC and Universal which are run by Jews. You have CBS Warner Bros Paramount Studios now run by David Ellison Salem Radio Network and Brad Parscale working on behalf of Israel. You've got Fox News, Wall Street Journal under the Murdoch's Dear Friends of Israel. You've got Daily Wire, Prager University, Breitbart all run by Jewish editors, Jewish owners are you starting to get it? This is what... this is so phenomenal! He's on TikTok he's on YouTube he's on X he can say whatever he wants to say but somehow they're controlling your mind

1:03:20 He goes on about the NBC and whoever was he listed there owned by Jews. That's Brian L Roberts is not a Jew, who is he kidding? Well I didn't mention Elon friend of Israel yeah well Sergey Brin doesn't run Google that's Sundar No actually take it back, Roberts was born into a Jewish family Ah! There you go so once again the Jews are running every single day John I get emails, are you convinced yet? Well you should. People, Adam at curry dot com it's easy to remember Aren't you convinced yet that the Zionists run our country aren't you sure of it and at this point

1:04:04 And Nick Fuentes, I mean, I don't know where he makes his money or how he makes his money but that guy is some sort of an op and people love him. He got Kanye in on it, oh the Jews are taking it all away from me! You can hate Israel you can hate the government of Israel that's fine by me, that's okay but the danger is that we start to all hate the Jews just like the Brits do. Which is why I think, you know it's my thesis the Brits created this modern state of Israel in the first place send them all there we can blame them for everything and we'll do stuff in the Middle East and get our BP and then all of our oil anything else we want... And by the way

CHAPTER 24 / 55 Discussion

Madison Grant, European Union, and Podcast Grifting

The conversation touches on Madison Grant's "The Passing of the Great Race" and its influence on historical fascist ideologies. The hosts compare the current structure of the European Union under Ursula von der Leyen to a "Nazi party dream." They introduce the term "podcast grift" to describe creators who lean into anti-Israel rhetoric to capture specific audiences and avoid losing donations.

madison grant· eugenics· european union· ursula von der leyen· podcasting

1:04:40 America has quite a history of hating Jews. I was watching a Dutch book review of Mein Kampf, which is quite interesting and Hitler was a big fan of Madison Grant. Madison Grant wrote this book called The Passing Of The Great Race and he was the chair of the New York Zoological society. Zoological? I said zoological, I started to say zoo but then i said zoological which later and today is now known as the wildlife conservation society then he you know which is all the green agenda which is you know the whole green thing that's totally functional fascism and if you look at the European Union with Ursula

1:05:31 It's basically the Nazi party dream. But my point is to say that we get suckered into this stuff so easily and now it's become part of the podcast grift, I just have to say it because now you have to do stuff... listen to this. Was a podcast grift? Yes, podcast grift I like that term. Because you got to add in there that obviously Israel killed Charlie Kirk and Israel is to blame for it, they run our country they run Trump they run everything so now if you do a podcast you've gotta say stuff like this... This is Theo Vaughan by the way. I would never take my own life! I'm grateful to God for his grace in my life ummm....I love my siblings

CHAPTER 25 / 55 Discussion

Theo Von, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and the "Not Suicidal" Disclaimer

Podcasters like Theo Von and politicians like Marjorie Taylor Greene have begun publicly stating they are "not suicidal" when criticizing Israel. The hosts analyze this trend as a form of "audience capture," where creators feel pressured to adopt extreme stances to maintain their following. They argue that the binary choice between being "pro-Israel" or "anti-Zionist" is a false narrative used for financial gain.

theo von· marjorie taylor greene· candace owens· israel· audience capture

1:06:16 I have so many friends and people that love me, and people that I want to see their children grow up. I'm hopeful that I get to have a wife and meet my own children one day. Like there's tons of things in life that keep me alive and hopeful right? I wanna be able to have an impact in the world Those are just a few of them probably you know...I mean so many moments we've shared on this show that I'm like oh! I live for those things I would never take my own life. Okay? You hear that Israel? This is what you've got to say, oh wait it gets better listen to this here's Candace Well Marjorie Taylor Greene has been very loud about how she is against that and she has grown increasingly vocal and She feels the need as she did a couple of days ago to publicly clarify

1:07:07 that she is not suicidal. I mean, it's ridiculous but we do all have to say it if you have influence and you're speaking out against Israel, you do kind of make that statement. We do have to make that this is why we don't make these statements John because recovering for Israel obviously were covering for the Zionists so this is the new grift. I'm not suicidal when I talk about Israel What is the benefit of taking this approach? Because people are sucked up into hating Israel, the Zionists. They run everything it's rampant! Dude this has been going on for years Yeah I understand that but what is the benefit...I still don't understand the benefits besides not getting hate mail to adam at curry dot com

1:07:54 The benefit, well it's audience capture. Everybody wants... just go look at my X-Time... No! Audience capture you might be right I'm completely right that's what it is Don't you see now that your donations are going down? Addicts Jones has been bleeding audience Yeah, donations are going down because they're not hating on people. What they're saying is if you don't say Israel is running everything and we just don't believe it We believe in fact quite the opposite and I'm gonna...I think we can prove that once again It's so obvious that they're not running everything They're not running anything In fact there's a couple of clips Well well well I got one more clip we'll get to that

1:08:31 So, you know the whole point is if you don't think and say out loud that Israel runs America and all of our politicians through AIPAC then you're gonna lose money. It's basically either I listen to what you say and don't lose money or I take money from Israel. That's really the binary bullshit. Where did your money come from by the way? Has it come in yet? Marjorie Taylor Greene now she has a good point Because she is, this is her own grift. She's playing on this in a very obvious way and we know this from one of the last things Charlie Kirk did with all the Gen Zers they're all saying look

CHAPTER 26 / 55 Discussion

AIPAC, Foreign Lobbying, and Marjorie Taylor Greene's "America Only"

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene tells Matt Gaetz on OAN that AIPAC should register as a foreign lobbyist for its influence on Congress. Greene criticizes the billions in aid sent to Israel while Americans struggle with debt, rent, and inflation. She adopts an "America Only" stance, vowing to fight AIPAC's influence even if it means "burning bridges" in Washington.

aipac· marjorie taylor greene· matt gaetz· foreign aid· israel

1:09:14 Look, we can't pay our rent. It's a crappy situation in America and why are we sending all this money to Israel? Which is 10 billion. Let's say it's 50 billion I don't care what it is Why should we be doing that? And of course the answer is because that's our military base in the Middle East. Fine, people can believe me or not but that's literally aircraft carrier in the sand is how it was set up and what it was called in the 70s We played all the clips But if you look at the money we send elsewhere, just the military in general is a trillion dollars. Look at the money were sending all over the world. We sent 10 years worth of Israel money to Ukraine those flags drop pretty quickly. So Marjorie Taylor Greene is using this for votes and for popularity which equals votes and I can't blame her

1:10:12 And but she is doing the same thing as the podcast grift here. She is with Matt gates on OAN We got to talk about a pack attacking you sending out fundraising emails saying that you are not acting in the interests of our country Marjorie Taylor green your reaction to apex Fundraising emails attacking you yeah, and Matt But I'll go ahead and be straight and honest about this. I'm absolutely furious, and as a matter of fact APAC needs to register as a foreign lobbyist because they're breaking US laws by donating to members of Congress and by taking them on a fully funded trip that Israel every single freshman member of Congress this year. They just took them over just recently and had them meet with the Prime Minister of Israel, but let's frame that correctly they take them over to me with these secular government of nuclear armed Israel who is in less than $400 billion in debt

1:11:08 Israel who has taxpayer funded health care in college. Israel is not hurting and they've already proven that they are more than capable of not only defending themselves but annihilating their enemies to the point of genocide, and that's what's happening in Gaza And Matt, the reason why AIPAC is attacking me is because I dared to tell the truth. As a matter of fact, I've been saying America first for a long time but I'm getting to the point of saying America only and I'll tell you why Matt it's because pretty much if you're under the age of 40 You have no hope for the future we're 37 trillion dollars in debt

1:11:43 People can't afford to buy a house. They can't afford rent, they can't afford insurance, they can't afford their bills and we have HB1 visas stealing all these American jobs and I'm sick and tired of fed up with it but listen if AIPAC wants to come after me and accuse me of betraying my American values APEC, you know what? You can bring it on. I am totally ready for this and this is a fight that i will fight and I will give it my all and I can guarantee you're gonna lose because America is fed up They're fed up, Matt. They're fed up to here with funding foreign wars, funding foreign causes, funding for in countries for foreign reasons that have nothing to do with Americans while Americans work their ass off every day and pay their taxes and come home and they are living paycheck-to-paycheck and their credit cards are maxed out

1:12:37 out. I don't care anymore, I honestly don't care so i'll burn this bridge to the ground and let the flames lighten away because this is a fight that needs to happen." So she's playing into feelings that are rampant online fueled by ops like Fuentes To blame it all because when you blame it on Israel, it goes right to the I've seen this movie before It's happened many times in history. It winds up with Jews getting killed nice people everywhere in the world getting killed That's just how it always winds up then but she's pretending like it's it's is real no it

1:13:14 APAC, funded by the American Israeli Education Foundation which is funded by the military industrial complex. The very thing that President Eisenhower warned us about. Yeah Lockheed, Raytheon, they fund it! They're the ones that are going in there and yeah because its money in their pockets And they're horrible too because oh do it under the guise of Israel or you got to do for Israel play on your Christian values blah blah blah But at the same time, you cannot deny that President Trump is now very clearly in charge of the situation with this Gaza deal. In fact let me just play- I have clips too. I got two clips and then i'll be done Here he is listen to who he thanks for this deal. I want to thank the countries that helped me put this together Qatar Turkey Saudi Arabia Egypt Jordan

CHAPTER 27 / 55 Discussion

Gaza Peace Proposal, Arab Nation Cooperation, and Netanyahu Pressure

Donald Trump thanks Arab nations including Qatar, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia for their help in brokering a 20-point peace proposal for Gaza. Trump exerts pressure on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by publicly posting maps of proposed withdrawal lines and highlighting Israeli protesters demanding an end to the war. The hosts suggest Trump is effectively "trolling" Netanyahu to force a resolution.

1:12:37 out. I don't care anymore, I honestly don't care so i'll burn this bridge to the ground and let the flames lighten away because this is a fight that needs to happen."

I want to thank the countries that helped me put this together Qatar Turkey Saudi Arabia Egypt Jordan

1:14:06 And so many others, so many people fought so hard. This is a big day we'll see how it all turns out. We have to get the final word down and concrete very importantly I look forward to having the hostages come home to their parents and having some of the hostages unfortunately you know the condition they're in come home likewise to their parents because their parents wanted them just as much as though that young man or young woman were alive. So I just want to let you know that this is a very special day

1:14:45 Maybe unprecedented in many ways. It is unprecedented, but thank you all and thank you all to those great countries that helped we were given a tremendous amount of help everybody was unified in wanting this war to end and seeing peace in the Middle East And we're very close to achieving that. Thank you all and everybody will be treated fairly." Doesn't sound like a very pro-Israeli speech to me, thanking all of the Arab nations and now he's out openly trolling Netanyahu. Noga good morning it seems things are moving full steam ahead and Donald Trump is continuing to pile pressure on both sides He is! He has not lost interest Alison and it is interesting to observe

1:15:29 So that yesterday, hours after he posted on his Truth Social media website a sort of another threat to Hamas saying basically get a move on. You don't have a lot of time to release the Israeli hostages or else Subsequently, he posted—he made two posts that are sure to have severely irritated Prime Minister Netanyahu. In one, interestingly, he posted an image of the more than 100,000 Israelis who gathered yesterday in Tel Aviv who rallied to demand an end to the war. This is a weekly event in smaller numbers, a daily event and somehow Trump has become aware of these things it's the second time he posts and its important you know Netanyahu refers to these protesters as enemies of Israel um...as draft dodgers in the worst possible terms

1:16:26 So, that was an interesting thing. And shortly thereafter the President of the United States posted a map... of the withdrawal lines that he proposes for this 20-point peace proposal. And he announced unilaterally that Israel had agreed, thus removing quite a bit of Israeli leverage in the discussions that are going to start in Egypt—the negotiations that are going to start in Egypt as of tomorrow, as of Monday. So it is interesting to see him not lose interest and keep pressuring both sides basically every few hours since he announced this deal. Sombreros are coming, that's next! It's obvious who is running the show here it so obvious but okay

CHAPTER 28 / 55 Discussion

Jared Kushner, Cairo Negotiations, and Hamas Deadlines

Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff travel to Cairo to negotiate a deal between Hamas and Israel for the release of hostages. Trump issues a warning on social media that Hamas must move quickly or "all bets are off." While the IDF has shifted to a defensive posture, Gaza health officials report that some strikes have continued.

jared kushner· hamas· cairo· hostages· gaza

1:17:12 Alright, what you got on the... Well let's go with these. I have some these are from PBS and this is Hamas This is the story with a bunch of analysis but this is the openers it's Hamas PBS version 1 President Trump is sending envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to Cairo this weekend to try to nail down a deal Oh Kushner! Another Jew trying to make money off the deal Sorry, I have to give color commentary. President Trump is sending envoy Steve Whitkoff and Jared Kushner to Cairo this weekend to try to nail down a deal between Hamas and Israel to free the remaining Israeli hostages

1:17:47 The president hopes that would be the first step toward ending their war, which is to enter its third year on Tuesday. In Gaza the skies were relatively calm. Palestinian hospital officials say Israeli bombing has significantly subsided though not stopped entirely. They said at least five Palestinians had been killed. Israeli officials say the IDF has shifted to a defensive posture in Gaza. On social media, the president said the next steps were up to the Palestinian militant group Hamas must move quickly or else all bets are off. I will not tolerate delay or any outcome where Gaza poses a threat again, let's get this done fast." In Khan Younis displaced Palestinians said Mr Trumps pressure should be directed elsewhere. My message to Mr Trump is the pressure Israel for his ceasefire he is feeling for us and aware of our situations this is enough

CHAPTER 29 / 55 Discussion

Aaron David Miller, Presidential Pressure, and Netanyahu's Political Survival

Former negotiator Aaron David Miller analyzes the unprecedented pressure Trump is placing on Netanyahu, comparing it to President Eisenhower's threats against David Ben-Gurion. Miller notes that Netanyahu cannot say no to Trump because he needs the president's support for his own political survival and future election campaigns. The goal is identified as ending the fighting and returning hostages, even if the underlying conflict remains unresolved.

aaron david miller· benjamin netanyahu· eisenhower· sanctions· gaza

1:18:43 Did PBS mention the post he made about the Israeli protesters, the enemies of Israel? They have a bit. I think their analysis is better and it starts right with this next clip. Aaron David Miller was a US Middle East negotiator in Republican and Democratic administrations You're a former negotiator you hear the things that Israel is saying that Hamas is saying Do you get the feeling that we're on our way to a deal You know, usually my sense is pretty negative given the gaps between Israel and Hamas over the last couple of years. But yeah I think we are at least on the way

1:19:20 to the release of hostages in exchange probably, probably for an end to Israel's comprehensive military campaign in Gaza. Beyond that it is really difficult to say because both the yes but from Israel and the yes but for sure from Hamas to the president's 20 points basically reflect still the impossibility right now of reconciling what the Israelis want for an end state and what Hamas does. But I think, John, closer than ever—although in Arab-Israeli-Israeli-Palestinian negotiations, ever is a kind of problematic idea

1:20:04 Explain what the sticking points are on each side. What in the deal is Hamas not crazy about? What in the deal is Israel not terribly excited about? I think both are not excited about any of it, except the president is most excited because what he's going to be able to accomplish if it holds is the return of all the hostages living and dead and likely, as I mentioned an end to Israel's comprehensive military campaign in Gaza. Hamas wants to survive And they will be looking for two commitments that I don't think this Israeli government will be willing to give. Well, I think the statehood part is the big carrot which will never take place. Yeah well all Trump it just seems if you listen to this guy that all Trump really wants to accomplish is stop. Yes! Stop the killing. Stop and then...

1:20:57 Let's just stop. And so, but there is a key bit it also as it will be revealed in the next couple of clips, Trump does have a lot more leverage over Netanyahu than people know about withdraw all Israeli forces from Gaza and a formal end to the war where the Israelis will not continue to exercise their right to preempt or prevent if Hamas resurges. As far as Mr Netanyahu is concerned, he wanted quote unquote total victory as he has maintained these many months which would have meant

1:21:33 the end of Hamas as an organized military organization. I think he probably, these Israeli defense forces have achieved that what they have not achieved and i think this is going to be extremely difficult is the end of Hamas's political influence in Gaza and its existence as an insurgency so again Netanyahu's end state and Hamas' are still, in my judgment mutually irreconcilable. This is happening yes Hamas is under pressure it's happening yes the Arabs are more united but it is happening for one primary reason you have an American president I was part of administrations from Jimmy Carter to Bush 43 You have administration that has exercised unprecedented pressure

1:22:22 on an Israeli prime minister, not since Eisenhower who threatened David Ben-Gurion with political and economic sanctions. Has an American president been this tough with an Israeli prime minister? And actually threatened a quote or else. And this is really prime minister since he needs Donald Trump to wage a successful election campaign, to remain prime minister probably in the spring or maybe the fall of 2026. Couldn't say no." Oh yeah! Don't worry we'll get you in jail BB unless you send the boys from Shabbat on me. Which won't happen. Of course not that's a good clip that's good that accentuates the point

CHAPTER 30 / 55 Discussion

Trump 2.0 vs 1.0, Humanitarian Aid, and Gaza Reconstruction

Analysts contrast Trump's first term "sugar high" for Israel with his current "vinegar" approach of applying heavy pressure. The peace proposal includes provisions for an Arab stabilization force, humanitarian assistance, and the reconstruction of Gaza's infrastructure. Key issues remaining for negotiation include the decommissioning of Hamas weapons and providing secure water and medical care for two million Palestinians.

gaza· humanitarian aid· reconstruction· trump· middle east

1:23:09 Yes, and he wraps it with less of an accentuation here. Is that surprising given the relationship we saw between Mr Trump and Mr Netanyahu during Mr Trump's first term? And also we keep hearing Netanyahu say Israel has had no better friend in the White House than Donald Trump I mean, Trump fashions himself as the most pro-Israeli president in human history. And the reality is during Trump 1.0, I think Donald Trump created what I would describe as a sugar high for these Israelis. He applied no pressure ample amounts of honey but no vinegar This time around, given the fact that he wanted to claim success in not ending the war. Let's be clear the war between Israel and Hamas is going to go on but Trump like in Ukraine wanted to end the fighting but not the war here. He's gonna get the hostages out most likely and he will ameliorate or

1:24:08 diminish the comprehensive military campaign that the Israelis have waged over the last year, where they now occupy 75 to 80 percent of Gaza. Where the Israelis are going to withdraw to Will Hamas's weapons be decommissioned, as it says in the president's proposal? Is there going to be an Arab stabilization force will aid humanitarian assistance and reconstruction to provide two million Palestinians finally with a secure source of potable water sanitation access to proper medical care. And enough food all of those issues all of them

CHAPTER 31 / 55 Discussion

Marco Rubio, Palestinian Statehood, and Security Conditions

Secretary of State Marco Rubio addresses questions about the administration's support for Palestinian statehood, describing it as a long-term process rather than a "yes or no" question. Rubio emphasizes that statehood is impossible as long as Gaza is governed by Hamas or any group seeking Israel's destruction. The immediate priority remains the release of hostages and establishing security conditions that prevent future terrorism.

marco rubio· palestinian statehood· gaza· hamas· security

1:24:48 remain to be negotiated. It's the best of all scenarios, stop the killing keep the threat of war going so we can continue to sell stuff that's what we do yeah that's why APAC is still around we can just continue to sell I guess sign off got a build this one gotta do this for doing in Europe too it's coming later i'm gonna interject with two quick Rubio clips from this morning He did all the morning shows. This is Manhans Welker, Mr Secretary I want to read point 19 of the president's peace plan. I'll put it up so folks can see it It says quote while Gaza redevelopment advances and when the Palestinian Authority reform program is faithfully carried out The conditions may finally be in place for a credible pathway to Palestinian self-determination and statehood which

1:25:36 we recognize as the aspiration of the Palestinian people. Does the Trump administration now support Palestinian statehood, Mr Secretary? Hamana, Hamana Well look first of all that provision was very important to the countries that signed on with us and Saudi Arabia UAE Qatar etc they all really...that's a very important point for them I think the most important point to read out of that is you have to have somebody turn it over too right, someone that you can hand that over to. We've always said that if there's going to be a two-state solution it has to be negotiated with Israel and has to make sure that Israel security is taken into account and so I would argue that...I wouldn't say this is a new policy position what I would say is you want to be able to have in Gaza

1:26:16 a place that Israel has no interest in governing Gaza. They want to turn it over to somebody, some organization that will govern it that will not build tunnels and sponsor terrorism and come across the line and kidnap rape and murder Israelis. That's who they want to turn it over too. And right now that doesn't exist. That has to be built. But Mr Secretary we need you to say that you are for Palestinian But Mr. Secretary, in terms of where the administration stands yes or no does the Trump Administration support Palestinian statehood? That's not a yes-or-no question that's a process No but it's not a yes-or-no question that's a process ultimately at the end of day we've always said this has been the consistent position of this administration of myself and have a lot of people who have watched us for very long time in order for that aspiration to even be credible It has to be realistic

1:27:03 We can't have a Palestinian state that's governed by Hamas or by some terrorist organization whose stated purpose for existence is the destruction of the Jewish State. That would never work! Until Gaza is governed by people that are not interested in destroying Israel, until there are no security threats emanating against Israel from Gaza... Forget about statehood you're not going to have peace so we have to create the conditions for that That's going to take a while and that is going to be part of what these negotiations are about in the days to come. But right now, the priority number one is to get the hostages released if we can't even get an agreement on the hostages being released you ain't gonna have long term peace here so let's get that piece done it's most important then we can move to phase two It will give momentum for the rest of the effort but this isn't going to be easy no one said this was gonna be easy We're dealing with something that has been going on for very long time

1:27:54 There you go. That's the that's the 20-point plan and all the Arab where is Anonymous of dog patch, where's a dude named Muhammad? We need some boots on the ground What is Iran thinking he'd give us some information as well be floating around he's probably part of it so He's in Doha at the moment So we have I wanna play this, this is the NPR version of what we played for PBS but only think I have to play clip one here which is... Because they decided something came down. Now most of these operations, these large-scale operations whether it's The New York Times, Associated Press

CHAPTER 32 / 55 Discussion

NPR Style Guide Shift, "Gazans" vs "Palestinians"

The hosts notice a shift in NPR's terminology, where reporters have begun using the term "Gazans" instead of "Palestinians." They suggest this reflects a change in the official style guide, similar to the adoption of terms like "pregnant people." The discussion explores the potential political reasons for swapping these identifiers in news coverage of the conflict.

npr· style guide· gazans· palestinians· media terminology

1:28:38 or NPR, PBS. They all have style guides and so you have to keep an eye on the style guides. In other words the style guide will tell you as a writer or reporter what terms you can use. And how to put them that's how you get birthing person shows up kind of thing everyone is all of sudden saying birthing person. Pregnant people pregnant people stuff like that front hole front hole so they have so the style guys kept and I just caught this and I see if you can catch it It's kind of a good way that it is kind of a giveaway, but I thought this was quite interesting This is the NPR to one clip reaction to President Trump's plan to end the nearly two-year war in Gaza is being viewed consciously by residents there as

1:29:27 Both Israel and Hamas say they endorse Trump's 20-point plan. But details have yet to be worked out. NPR's Keri Khan reports. Residents in Gaza, like Iman Abu Aklain a 48 year old mother of four says the news of a deal is some relief It's like we've been bottled up so tightly and now we can take a breath just a small one as we are still living in the nightmare she says Israel's military says it is getting ready to implement Trumps plan and has moved to a defensive only position according an official not authorized to speak with the media on the record. However, Gaza health officials say air strikes continued overnight killing and wounding Gazans. Okay... Killing Gazans? Not Palestinians? Oh! Good catch! It is already shifting

1:30:19 It's starting to shift now. We'll see if we start hearing the term Gazans, instead of Palestinians. It's like saying New Yorkers Swapping it you're swapping out a term here There is a reason for it very good catch I found that to be fed really stopped me in my tracks That's where he ended the clip with it yeah, but There's a part two to this if you want to hear it, it just kind of wraps it up. Well, it was very short I think so yeah Israel is preparing a team for face-to-face talks as the US also sends envoys to Cairo according to two people briefed but not authorized to speak publicly Okay, of course sources You know nothing there meanwhile

CHAPTER 33 / 55 Discussion

Morocco Gen Z 212 Protests, FIFA World Cup Spending

A youth coalition in Morocco, calling themselves "Gen Z 212," leads deadly anti-government protests over the diversion of billions into 2030 FIFA World Cup infrastructure. Protesters demand better healthcare and education, claiming the government is neglecting domestic needs. The hosts compare the movement's organization to the BLM riots, noting the presence of agitators among peaceful demonstrators.

morocco· gen z 212· fifa world cup· public services· protests

1:31:05 This Gen Z color revolution around the world is very interesting. Yeah, I have a clip on this too! Okay you want to play yours first? Well mine is just about specific it's a specific one of these Gen Z then this we picked this up when they started in Nepal yeah this is the gen zed 212 Morocco's biggest anti-government process in years turned deadly this week. The demonstrations are led by a coalition of Moroccan youth who call themselves Gen Z 212, named for the nation's dialing code. The group says the government is pouring billions of dollars into infrastructure for the 2030 FIFA World Cup while neglecting domestic issues like health care and education

1:31:49 Demonstrations began across Morocco a week ago and some have become violent. This week three protesters were killed The Nepal thing was actually staring me in the face because, you know I looked at the map and Nepal between India and China. Oh hello! They wanted to join BRICS Well no you're not joining BRICS You're not going to connect India And China To make it a whole BRICS segment there? You're not gonna do that We are going to send the Gen Z's on you I have a little bit longer clip of Morocco which is still going on The GenZ 212 And what's very obvious is that

1:32:29 It's very much like the BLM riots. You get everybody out there for social means, like hey you know it's like we're spending all their money to Israel! We're against that we don't want that and then you send in the agitators, the people with the umbrellas who start smashing the windows and throwing the firebombs and then you've got a mess and then it's still... it's the Gen Zs who are very upset about how the government is spending money and not on them. Anger has not abated in Morocco For nights on end, protesters have united against the government demanding better public services. In some instances it has turned violent buildings have been set alight and properties destroyed many citizens feel the isolated incidents undermine demonstrators legitimate demands

1:33:16 We support the protests but reject the destruction. If we all want to protect public freedom, demand dignity and call for social justice we must understand that social justice means giving everyone their rights As a Moroccan youth I reject this ugly behavior of destruction and violence Through peaceful protests we came out demanding our legitimate rights to proper health care and education. The initial peaceful gatherings began on Saturday, loosely organized by Morocco's Gen Z 212 group So I found it was mind-blowing on this France 24 yes

Global Gen Z Revolutions, Social Media, and Corruption

France 24 reports on a wave of "Gen Z revolutions" across Asia and Africa, including Kenya, Nepal, and the Philippines. These movements are organized via platforms like Discord and Telegram, targeting government corruption, unemployment, and high living costs. In Nepal, outrage was fueled by social media posts showing the luxurious lifestyles of politicians' children while the general population suffers from inequality.

kenya· nepal· philippines· madagascar· gen z

1:33:57 They had a whole segment on Gen Z, on all the Gen-Z revolutions which I thought was very interesting. What do all these protests have in common? Yes they are all protests across Asia and Africa but there is something more corruption lack of jobs poverty block of social media platforms these are just some of the problems stretching from Sri Lanka to the Philippines Bangladesh Nepal Morocco and Madagascar Protests have been ongoing for months, all starting in one main way. Led by Gen Z the generation born between 1997 and 2012 and organized through social media In Morocco protests were launched by the anonymous youth collective called gen z212 on the platform discord referring both to Generation Z and the country's dialing code 212

1:34:46 The more than 120,000 members demand reforms in health and education and criticize the sums invested in the 2030 World Cup at the expense of public services. In Kenya with the hashtag Ruto must go and a telegram group Genzy Revo 2, Genzy has mobilized against unemployment, tax hikes and high living costs sweeping protests across Nairobi and even breaching the walls of parliament. Madagascar one of the world's poorest nations has seen Genzi group rise up against blackouts and water shortages leading to the dissolution of the government but also leaving at least 22 people dead. In Nepal, Gen Z outrage erupted after thousands of young people were posted images and videos online showing the luxurious lifestyles of politicians' children

1:35:37 shared with hashtags like Nipple Kids and Nipple Babies. Despite social media ban, youth has organized mass protests against corruption and inequality. And the Philippines have seen the student and youth network Tamana along with others leading recent marches in Manila over alleged corruption in flood control and infrastructure projects. Everywhere, the youth lead and rest, the use of digital platforms for organization, cross-border inspiration These mobilizations do not necessarily or immediately result in lasting reforms. But it's clear that this generation doesn't want to survive in a falling system, they want to voice their grievances and transform it radically." So this is some bull crap right here. Oh Gen Z! The Gen Zed are the most wussy generation ever. They're not starting any revolt. This has

Discord CEO Transition, Humaam Sakhnini, and Intelligence Ops

The hosts analyze the appointment of Humaam Sakhnini as the new CEO of Discord, highlighting his background with the Canadian Department of Finance, McKinsey, and Activision Blizzard. They suggest Sakhnini is a "spook" or intelligence operative linked to the City of London. The discussion posits that Discord's emergence as a platform for global revolutions is a coordinated effort by British intelligence to disrupt the BRICS nations.

discord· humaam sakhnini· mckinsey· city of london· intelligence

1:36:32 written all over and it has an intelligence agency written all over but which one okay I'm gonna tell you Asia and Africa Who has the interest in Asia and Africa? It's always been the British Crown, Canada. I'll give the North Sea Nexus a break on this one So...I was corrected by many people about Discord because all this starts on Discord And I said it is an open source platform. I was corrected by a number of producers No no! There are a lot of open source projects that are run and managed on Discord But Discord is a complete company product. You get it for free, now when you get something for free you're actually the product we know that

1:37:17 The business model is very odd of Discord. You can have turbo Discord where you can actually give the company money and raise money for your Discord server, you can get extra benefits and more expansive features. They do have some advertising but I'm looking at this company... And it's founded by two nerds who are gamers but if you look If you look at their timeline on their Aboot page, Spring 2025. Jason, he's one of the co-founders, one of the nerds announces his transition from CEO to board member and advisor and Humaam Sakhnini becomes Discord's new CEO. Sakhnini brings deep gaming industry experience from leadership roles at Activision Blizzard & King So I go look at this guy

1:38:12 Well, isn't this guy very interesting? He initially worked for the investment bank Nesbitt Burns Canadian Crown. For the Department of Finance in Canada This is a London City of London guy Participated 20th Annual Meeting of the Canadian Economics Association Calgary Authored three of Department of Finances Fiscal Policy and Economic Analysis Branch Working Papers He argued in favor of pre-funding pension plans. This sounds like a gamer to me! He later founded and co-directed the financial technology group firm IS Group, which provided services to mutual funds and hedge funds Let's look at his education shall we? Graduated Bachelor of Arts in Economics from the University of Western Ontario before receiving a Master of Arts in Economics from The Queen's University

1:39:06 He earned a Master's of Business Administration degree from Yale. This guy is an op, and the minute he comes in not three months later all of a sudden Discord is the platform of choice for all these Gen Z revolutions There's your op It's blatant right there Spend eight years as partner at McKinsey & Company You know what? This guy is absolutely a gamer He joined London-based King in April 2016 as Chief Financial Officer, and of course that's where he led the acquisition of Activision Blizzard. And you know what? Well I don't think he is an op, he is a spook! Well it's a spook part of the op...and its clearly the Brits who are doing this they have all the interest historically in Asia and Africa

1:39:55 It's like, okay we see what you're doing and they have just as much benefit to not seeing BRICS succeed as anybody else. They still have the pound it's still a big deal to them So be very aware of discord Gen Z revolutions in our own country, which will be a bunch of soy boys and girls go. What do we want? We want democracy when do we want it? We want it whenever you give it to us. Yeah and then and then we have a lot of Gen Zers that listen to this show or that are more than happy to tell us what they think yes I'm looking forward to it for the call

European Drone Wall, Munich Airport, and Israel-Ukraine Tech

Munich Airport resumes flights after multiple drone sightings caused shutdowns, which the German Interior Minister describes as a "race" between threats and defense. Germany calls for a European-level "drone wall" developed in cooperation with Israel and Ukraine. The hosts characterize the drone sightings as a potential psyop to justify increased military spending and technological integration.

munich airport· drones· drone wall· germany· israel

1:40:36 Calling them out as a bunch of wimps is probably not the, uh... Not necessarily 100% true. I'm generalizing obviously! I'm generalizing You're generalizing? Yeah of course Obviously i'm generalizing Meanwhile, we've got Europe. But I'm with you. I don't believe that there is a 212 thing and all the rest of it in these obscure countries where they're rioting and it's just obviously been co-opted as the old... We get some old terms here, old communist terms of co-option. These guys were co-opted in some way and they've got leaders. It's not leaderless but their leaders are probably no Gen Z at all

1:41:18 And the whole thing is corrupted. Gen Z is a generalization by itself, it's like Boomer, like all Boomers I mean I'm not even officially well okay um...I don't feel like a boomer but put me as a boomer gen X whatever. But- I feel like a teenager Finally, finally an opening for the show. I've been waiting for it. Well yeah you have the sense of humor for it. So meanwhile let's sigh up the European Union a little bit more because we still need to borrow all these hundreds of millions from the Omnibus! For the Omnibus to get drone wall implemented. We need the drone wall, we need more money! More money! More money!" I have an idea... Oh check this out. Munich airport says it is gradually resuming flights after more drones were spotted early this Saturday. The airport shut down Friday evening for the second day

1:42:07 fifth Here's Germany's interior minister. We are in a race between drone threats and drone defense. It is a race! We want to, and must win this race that is why it is important to take the necessary measures at the European level to upgrade our technology pool our expertise and ensure that drone defense technology is also developed in Europe in cooperation with partners from Israel and Ukraine. Ah bring in Israel perfect

Ursula von der Leyen, AI Continent, and Medical Innovation

EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen pledges to make Europe an "AI continent," emphasizing the technology's potential for early cancer diagnosis and drug discovery. She dismisses skeptics who say Europe is late to the AI race, promising to spare no effort in attracting talent. The hosts mock her rhetoric, suggesting the "AI race" is a scam and noting that much of the underlying technology is American-owned.

ursula von der leyen· artificial intelligence· european union· medical discovery· oracle

1:42:56 Yeah, we need the drone technology. Oh my goodness! We have drones... yeah we've anti-drones because that'll stop an ICBM. And then flights are cancelled it's because of the Russian drones what a psyop and then Ursula, the moron that she is hair you're gonna call her Hair Ursula from now on. Hair Ursula She is... Well, it could be spelled H-A-I-R. Oh that's a good one too. Herr Ursula. Yeah she's got some... You know we're not done Europe! We're not done the AI race is just getting started It's not too late for us to get in on this scam? Too often I hear that Europe is late to the AI race The skeptics say we will repeat the main mistakes of the past

1:43:49 and another generation of European talents will be forced to leave. I strongly disagree, not only because the AI race is still warming up But also because I've seen what Europeans can do when we set our eyes on a goal. Yeah, what has Europe done for me lately? What fantastic technology has Europe brought us? Well you know... When AI is in the loop Because when AI is in the loop We reach better solutions fast Reliable, affordable. Reliable and affordable! It's safe and effective Some of your startups are already pioneering it I don't know a single one Let me tell you that I'm a medical doctor by training I am amazed what AI can do in medicines AI can assist doctors in diagnosing cancer much much earlier

1:44:41 or accelerate innovative medicines discovery. The big promise of AI, innovative medicine discovery and detecting cancer... What she's talking about what it got to do with Europe? It's all Ellison! It's all Oracle that the promise of Stargate but you know what Europe can do it We will spare no efforts to make Europe an AI continent That means no expense An AI continent?! We will spare no effort to make Europe an AI continent. We will spare no effort to make you choose Europe because this is the great mission of our times.

OpenAI Sora 2 App, Face Scanning, and Parental Controls

OpenAI announces the Sora 2 app, which allows users to create hyper-realistic AI-generated videos of themselves. Wired Magazine reports on the app's potential to unlock video generation for the masses, while also highlighting new parental controls and copyright restrictions. The hosts argue the app is a data-harvesting tool designed to collect fresh facial and video content for OpenAI's models.

openai· sora 2· sam altman· wired· face scanning

1:45:35 My lord, that is insane. Well at least she didn't mention quantum No well I haven't seen the whole speech i'm sure she did now before We move on. I just need to stop because we have now reached peak AI, this is an amazing thing that is happening and this is Sora 2 Have you heard of seen it or are you aware? JC has brought me up the speed on it. Sora 2...I have a two-parter here from CBS

1:46:14 talking to a Wired reporter because of course if you really want to know what's going on in technology, Wired is still relevant. Sora is it baby! Today we're announcing the Sora app powered by the all-new Sora 2 Well that may look and sound just like OpenAI CEO Sam Altman but it's actually a video generated completely by AI using the company's new app Sora to open a I says it allows people to create and share AI generated video clips featuring themselves and their friends.

1:46:49 Now, the clips posted by the company online show how unrealistic scenarios can look hyper-realistic using this tool. All right I gotta bring in Zoe Schiffer the director of business and industry at Wired Magazine. Oh Zoe! These videos are incredible tell us a little bit more about this AI tool and what people can do with it? Yeah so OpenAI first released Sora their video generation model about a year ago Since then, a lot of other companies have kind of jumped into the space and the technology has been moving really really fast. During this time, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman basically directed the team to start working on an app. And the thinking was that just like Chat GPT allowed people to kind of realize the potential of generated text creating a kind of TikTok style app to watch and create AI-generated videos would be like a huge unlock to make people realize the potential for video generation

1:47:49 Now I have some analysis about this Sora 2 app, but first we just have to finish with this Wired reporter. And I think you and I universally would agree that most technology reporters are whores for the technology companies And when you actually say that you're not, that's like a red flag. Yeah, you gotta wonder what some of these Hollywood directors are thinking about some of these videos because they look so realistic. So realistic! You can put yourself in Avatar or some of these big blockbuster films it's amazing to see what they're able to do. It's amazing Are they approaching though the safety concerns as this technology becomes more and more advanced? I mean, there's some scary stuff that can come out of this too. Yeah absolutely and far be it from me to like act as an open AI spokesperson but someone who is reported on this company pretty deeply- What does that even mean? Far be it for me to act as a open AI spokesperson why would you even say that

1:48:47 Far be it from me, which is a phrase I don't think I've ever used in my life. But I've heard it far be it from me which is just crazy if you try to figure out what it means I would be an AI spokesperson. To act as an AI spokesperson? Yeah, it's almost like a scripted comment. Well she's been read in and she's spouting the company line that's what i think it means yeah absolutely and far be it from me to like act as an open ai spokesperson but as someone who's reported on this company pretty deeply i will say

1:49:23 that I actually mean she's got inside knowledge which means she has yeah and then she uses a performative as yes i will say why don't you just say it why do you say i will say and then you say it once you just say it exactly yeah absolutely and far be it from me to like act is an open ai spokesperson but someone who's reported on this company pretty deeply i will say that I actually do think they're taking these concerns extremely seriously. Earlier this week, the company rolled out parental controls to help parents have a little more oversight into their accounts of their children and specifically their teenagers when the Sora app rolled out. They kind of baked in some of those parental controls specifically to allow parents to stop their kids from doom scrolling so i think that they're trying to be proactive and get ahead at least somewhat

1:50:13 of the major concerns. And to be clear this is an app that you can use anybody can use on their phone or tablet or computer correct? Yeah exactly so you can download it now in the App Store I think at least today you need a code from someone that's using it but it's already kind of taken off there's a lot of people jumping and there are some restrictions like if you try and jump a video of say Taylor Swift or even like Darth Vader, it'll stop you. It will say that there are copyright restrictions that are baked in and won't allow you to do that." Her full performance was I will say I actually do believe. That's a mouthful! So this is a brilliant move by OpenAI

AI Content Saturation, Recruitment Hallucinations, and Phone Addiction

The hosts debate the long-term viability of AI video apps, with one predicting Sora 2 will overtake TikTok due to human ego and the "selfie" culture. They discuss the failure of an AI recruitment firm in Austin that struggled with "hallucinations" in matching candidates. The conversation touches on the addictive nature of smartphones and the potential for the internet to be filled with "AI slop."

sam altman· tiktok· hallucinations· recruitment· selfies

1:50:53 because this is going to be high, I could already see it highly addictive people love it. Scaramanga got put out of business in like one fell swoop or possibly he can open a business depending on how he manages his time the whole point of this if you look at the app what does the first thing that wants you to do? Scan your face This thing is fresh content for open AI's large language models. And every numbnut is gonna do this, oh yeah I put myself in this movie! Let me show you my face! Yeah you got it? You got- Oh look at this! Of course they're going to be sued into oblivion but by then they'll already have what they need They needed fresh photographic videographic content

1:51:44 Because they know where it's going. They know that this whole notion of it is for business, nah! They need to be generating video and pictures and they need new content And I will never put my face on it...I would say If there are pictures of us out there, you should just fill the entire internet with slop of us But I'll never put my face on it Because Taylor Swift shouldn't have any more protection than I have by my likeness. So, I think this is a move that is blowing everybody out of the water and Google is going to try and run and catch up. And it's going to cost them more and more money. That's where the next trillion dollars are gonna have to come because we're almost there boys! We just had another trillion dollars. One of our young friends she worked for

1:52:44 an AI recruiting company in Austin. Not that they were recruiting AI people, but the they used AI to match job openings with candidates. And she said it was 30-70, 30% will be great 70% would just not work and they're about to close the doors they just couldn't make it where they always kept saying to their investors if we just have a little bit more almost there we can all almost do perfect matches every single time you can't The stuff is hallucinating. You can't, you can't get 100%. You can get maybe up to 70%, maybe 60% This is a losing proposition So Altman just extended his life I don't know His business life by maybe several years Because this thing...I think it's going to overtake TikTok It's this...you want addictive? I disagree completely

1:53:42 You disagree with it's going to overtake TikTok? Yeah, because it's a piece of crap. I've watched the...I got the lecture about this. I was shown all the videos and even JC admits that this stuff is not watchable! It's yeah, it's very good. I mean you see very high resolution images of something happening that doesn't exist in real life and lot of it looks like this has to be a real person but it's not But it is, there were some of these videos they were 30 seconds long and you couldn't watch five seconds before you were bored stiff. I have a different opinion A real good TikTok video of a fat chick falling on her butt off of a bicycle

1:54:26 is far superior to the garbage that this thing is producing. But the difference is you can put yourself and your friends in the movie. Oh, who cares? Nobody cares! I think that's...I'm not interested in that and it will be- No, you're not. I'm not either. It will be the number one app within a month. We have to assume we are not alone in our thinking I'm giving you my input. I'm giving you my opinion. You agree with me that we're not interested in putting our faces on all those sorts of things? We aren't because we are smart! You and I are in the majority. You don't even use a phone, so you're not...you're in the minority

1:55:14 You are in the minority, you don't do selfies. I am not in the minority when it comes to not using the phone or keeping it in a drawer, to be straight about it. And you bring it up with anybody they fall in love! Oh my god, I wish I could do this same thing...I wish, I wish, I wish… I'm in the majority and just happen to be the only one who followed through. Okay, okay. You are the only drug addicts who got out? Yes! You're a winner! Winning?! John C. Dvorak is a winner, but that is not the majority of people The majority of people are losers and they're addicted to their phones And now they can put themselves into the movie? Ah no This this is going to fly But we'll see We'll see

1:55:59 I'm willing to admit defeat. But, I'll give it one month this is the number one app everyone's talking about it every news show all these... Well you know you can make something a number-one app even get these news idiots to push it because everybody fall apart Ego man! It's ego people love themselves that's what the whole selfie thing is but an entire device was created for this very reason. I'm not going to argue against you and the selfie thing, it is bothersome It's a selfie movie! They're gonna love it People will love it they will love it And its completely free? How much... This guy is burning cash That's why they need have this be successful and they will make it successful come hook or crook oh there's a Jew reference for ya uh..they're gonna make it successful Altman

Spotify AI Song Deletion, Music Royalties, and Ad Fraud

Spotify reportedly deleted 75 million songs from its catalog to prevent AI-generated tracks from diluting royalties for major publishing companies. The hosts discuss the "shakeout" in the podcast and music industries as advertisers become wary of being "fleeced" by AI-generated content. They predict a return to human-centric content as users grow tired of navigating through AI-generated news and music.

1:56:54 Taking over, taking over. He's gonna be psy-opping everybody with his SORA 2. That's right. Everybody loves Israel They're going to make it the number one app because he needs another couple of trillion dollars to finally get to the business stuff that is actually going to work which we know it just won't In the meantime, Spotify removed... Well you have to give the guy credit for keeping... He's got the balls in the air. I gave him a lot of credit! He's got a bunch of plates he's spinning them around is another one is another one that's what you do as an entrepreneur long does this go on hey as long as he can keep putting plates up he can spin them and spotify now they're now there in trouble spotify is in trouble because they had to keep saying that but they keep making money well

1:57:45 Well, that's kind of the point. They had they deleted 75 million songs from their catalog and they... And the reason they did that is because the majority shareholders of Spotify even in the public markets are the publishing companies and the publishing company is like hold on a second we can't have this! We can't have every Tom Dick and Harry making our money off of these AI songs So I think that you're gonna see some other platforms picking this up. If i had a music platform, it would be like all AI all the time bring it over here make money! Make money with your songs! So you think Spotify made a mistake when they ran these fake bands and then ran them as legit and then they were found out?

1:58:36 Yeah, the public music publishers making actual music. Yeah the owners got very mad about it. The owner decided hey wait a minute... yeah the true owners. They said well you know easy money so I don't know we'll see what Apple and Amazon does But I mean, people were loving this. Like hey, I just made a song it cost me 20 bucks a month to make 1000 songs and I'm making five bucks on royalties. Oh yeah. Yeah. Hey you know that more trucks are monetizing man. A monetize a monetizing my creativity, my prompting creativity

1:59:14 Please more of it. Please fill the internet with as much of this slop as possible keep it going just keep it going Until nothing is usable I mean already if you just...I was looking for I was looking for a story on Nepal with the Gen Z thing and that included Discord. Well, you have to wade through at least 15 AI generated news stories to find something and even then it's like still dubious. It's filling everything up! And still, the podcast is industrial complex. We need a tag! We need to tag this AI! We can't have an AI-AI podcast! Please." Why? Yeah because the advertisers are getting fleeced that's why the advertisers get mad. Well the advertisers gotta get a clue. They will

Podcast Discovery, Decentralization, and Show Longevity

The hosts celebrate nearly 18 years of the No Agenda show, emphasizing the benefits of the decentralized podcasting ecosystem. They argue that the lack of a central discovery algorithm protects the medium from AI-generated "slop" and manipulation. Listeners are encouraged to use modern podcast apps from podcastapps.com to ensure they receive live notifications and chapter support.

2:00:12 But they always do and then they get, they drop off and of course it does a shake out. You have Armageddon the podcast that all go out of business with ones that try to make money and then all of a sudden something changes in the advertisers are suckered back. They'll always get suckered back. Look at these numbers! Hey Bob have you seen these numbers? I think we got an opportunity here. And with that, I want to thank you for your courage saying the morning to you the man who put the sea in the one and only AI continent say hello my friend on the other end the one the only Mr John Cena! Good morning to you sir, the man who currently runs ships, seaboats, and the graffi, and airships in the water all the names are nice out there. In the morning to the trolls in the troll rooms... and still let me count ya for a second

2:01:10 Dog days of summer 2158 listening live And they are listening on noagendastream.com, which should be fixed. Tell your friends tell your neighbors everything works again They are trolling along in the troll room trollroom.io and also no agendastream.com You can use your modern podcast app Which may or may not have some AI slop in it But of course the biggest downside to podcasting is there's no discovery mechanism So what's also its biggest protection? There's no algo that is shoving podcasts in your face all the time on the podcast apps. Yet! No, it's decentralized It's impossible to happen. It will not happen which is good And the more slop, the more people will want to hear two old dudes yacking away Oh, it feels so comfortable doesn't it? Just hearing people make mistakes

2:02:06 Yeah, it does feel kind of good. Oh they disagree! Oh no... They actually sound emotional about something. Oh my man you and your noise makers. You and your noise makers I got another one here. I've got the sign noise maker Modern podcast apps, go get yourself one of those. It's your protection against AI slop. Go to podcastapps.com pick one up there all pretty darn good I would say and with that of course you will also be alerted when we go live You can listen live in your podcast app What legacy app does that? Let me think none of them And within 90 seconds of publishing you will be notified as well Which legacy app does that let me think None of them Of course That's why you want to be ahead of the times and on top of the news

2:02:54 Wasn't that, uh... Was that New York Daily? Was it the Daily Post? No. I don't think so. Ahead of the Times on top of it. I lived in New York for a while and remembered these things. The extra E. Yes. Drop the extra S for savings! Dial-a-mattress! I remember that. Crazy Eddie's prices are insane! So the 26th of October will be 18 years that we do in this podcast and all the all that time John's been studying my Tourette's and he is now an expert, which is amazing. I am because we've only seen each other twice in the last 10 years. Yeah yeah well you just once is enough Ditto right back at you Bubba

Value for Value, AI Art, and Model Collapse

The program's "Value for Value" model is explained, where listeners contribute time, talent, or treasure. The hosts review recent AI-generated artwork submitted by producers, noting signs of "model collapse" and "muddy" images. They provide tips for artists on using Photoshop to enhance their submissions and maintain the quality of the No Agenda Art Generator.

value for value· ai art· model collapse· photoshop· no agenda art generator

2:03:45 So we accept time, talent or treasure in return for the value that we provide you and we think that after 18 years people agree. Four out of five doctors will say that the NOA Agenda show provides value and you can provide that back to us in many different ways. Monetary is the one that makes the show guaranteed to continue, but we also accept other things such as AI slop and we get that from our NOA Agenda artists who are now prompt jockeys and one day...one day! The actual artists will return if you can wait for it when When everyone's listening to AI slop songs, eventually a Ramones comes along or... I think they said the same thing about Photoshop.

2:04:28 Well, clip art, Photoshop everything. It was all a problem.

Executive Producer Credits, Water Well Advice, and Meetup Reports

The hosts thank high-level donors, granting titles such as Secretary General and Knight. A donor from Illinois asks for advice on increasing water pressure for a private well, leading to a discussion about pump towers and windmills. Meetup reports from Indiana and Colorado are shared, and the "peerage committee" approves several new titles for long-term supporters.

2:08:16 Here's how Value for Value works. There are no levels, no subscriptions of course and no tote bag you know all you do is listen to the show it's like hey I like this episode i got something out of it let me send these guys some coin and whatever that value represents to you put into a number people like numerology in general so sent us a number that means meaningful to you And you can do it anytime, at any moment you feel it's appropriate. Noagendadonations.com and we will now thank a very few amount of supporters I'm sure that our lack of audience capture is going to hurt us severely John no doubt about it It happens Yeah, it has happened throughout the 18 years But at least were honest purveyors of the truth! Yeah exactly

2:09:04 That's exactly right and we don't have to do stupid stuff like saying, oh I'm not unhappy. Are you unhappy John? We don't have a suicide pact so I'm not gonna kill myself are you Israel? Hey, top executive producer today. Here's how it works and we thank everybody $50 and above an in this particular segment of the show We thank the people who came in with two hundred dollars or above Who are fortunate enough to be able to do that? And we highly appreciate it So would you have something extra for them? It's called a title a credit which is an official credit that Hollywood recognizes You can go to IMDB comm and see all of the no agenda executive and associate executive producers are 200 dollars and above

2:09:44 gives you a credit of associate executive producer and we will read your note within reason, and $300 or above you become an executive producer. And again, we will read your note within reason." For the time being, $500 gets you a secretary generalship, and Matthew Lomar from Elwood Illinois comes in with exactly that so he will be a secretary general and he says hey This is Matt Lomar, the guy who will kick the noodle kids' ass. Figured I'd get my Secretary General certificate and claim the title as Secretary General of Water Well Drillers! That's a good one... As such can i humbly request karma for my small water well business Haas Services Any NOAA gender producers welcome to contact me with well questions

2:10:28 Actually, I have some well questions for you. Oh! You have a well question? I do have a well question. This is our Well Guy. This is the Well Guy. I would like a little more water pressure we have our own well...I know how it works and I know where the thing is buried, you know that the canister Is there anything I can do to up the water pressure or do I have to have that thing dug up and a new one put in You put a pump in, you pump it up to a tower outside your house. You build the tower... But we have an H- I should get it in before the HOA kicks off! Yeah yeah get that tower out and put some ham antennas in there too. And put Curry Farm on the tower, put some lettering on there. And one of those windmills with the vein or with one of those metallic windmills. Yeah do the pumping

2:11:13 It'll do the pumping. That's right, yeah. This is a good idea. So the wind will pump it all up to the tower and then the tower will provide the pressure And on the towers put petticoat junction that would be even funnier Yeah well you could do that too Haas services! Put some dresses hanging on the thing Any NOAA gender producers, welcome to contact me with well questions and producers in the northern Illinois area can get a free service call.

Jon Stewart, Jimmy Kimmel, and Late Night Ratings

The hosts discuss the declining relevance and ratings of late-night talk shows, specifically mentioning Jon Stewart and Jimmy Kimmel. They suggest these hosts are desperate for attention and that their networks are struggling to make the high-budget formats profitable. The segment mocks the idea that these shows still hold significant cultural influence.

2:17:46 any amount, any frequency that you determine or just do a one-off like I got some value. We've gotta send some value back we all love it all thank you noagenda donations dot com congratulations to these executive and associate executive producers our formula is this... we go out we hit people in the mouth they're eating the dogs shut up slave I thought it was pretty funny, Jon Stewart. But i don't have a clip...I should probably get a clip from him He's like he doesn't understand why Trump hasn't gone after him yet

2:18:35 Hey man, come after me. I need the attention! Hey man, I'm being ignored over here on Comedy Central Mondays Yes, I need the attention Come on Trump you used to hate me What happened? You don't hate me anymore It's no good and I need one of those comeback shows like Jimmy Kimmel had Please Pathetic That is pretty pathetic Very pathetic As if Yeah right I mean, the networks are just dying with these late night shows and they're not making any money. They have high budget hundreds of people working there and they're trying to get rid of him so let's blame Trump." Yeah yeah even that backfired. Yeah that didn't even work so Kim will pull a stunt and ended up still on the air and then Disney guys have got to be shaking their heads saying what do we have to do to get rid of this guy and do something that makes us some money?

Chevron El Segundo Refinery Explosion, California Exit

A massive explosion at the Chevron refinery in El Segundo, California, sends a fireball into the sky and blankets LAX in smoke. The facility supplies 40% of Southern California's jet fuel and 20% of its motor vehicle fuel. The hosts speculate that the incident might be a "suspicious" precursor to Chevron completely exiting the state of California for insurance or regulatory reasons.

chevron· el segundo· refinery explosion· jet fuel· california

2:19:28 Yeah, maybe he should be suicided by Israel. There you go mm-hmm yeah give Israel a call Call Mossad 1 800 MOSAAD Hey this story and maybe I'm wrong but if I recall isn't Chevron leaving California was it Chevron? Uh...I didn't say that no I'm asking. No, they're closing the Richmond refinery and the refinery that got itself in trouble is the El Segundo Refinery, the big boy down in Southern California Wouldn't that make for a perfect withdrawal from California altogether? Yeah but it didn't really destroy their refinery just made a mess Well if you listen to this report... Overnight massive explosion at a

2:20:28 Chevron refinery sending a massive fireball into the night sky. Firefighters rushing to the scene in El Segundo, California around 930 last night trying to tackle that gigantic blaze several fires burning within the facility. Yeah we have heavy flames showing from the refinery I'll need a truck company with a massive frame to respond to this. Towering flames and billowing smoke turning the night sky red, the inferno could be seen for miles that blast so strong residents say they thought it was an earthquake or a plane crash. Earthquake!

2:21:04 terrible explosion, very loud. Terrible house like more than any earthquake ever before. Out of control for sure and we didn't know what was gonna happen next Those residents were told to stay indoors and shelter in place after concerns about the air quality There are several massive flames coming from the refinery that right there appears to be the epicenter of this explosion that occurred. At times it seemed like the fire was under control and then it would flare back up again, the smoke traveling to nearby LAX blanketing the planes on the tarmac. That oil refinery is the largest on the west coast spanning two square miles. It supplies more than 40% of the jet fuel and more than 20 percent of the motor vehicle fuel for Southern California not yet clear what caused this explosion but

2:21:52 but no injuries have been reported. I'm just saying if i wanted to get out of California altogether and with a big FU, like oh our plant blew up! Get some insurance coverage... Yeah it's probably not a bad idea Just thinking It's the concept And that property is worth a lot of money You could resell it You have to do a clean up first. It should take awhile, especially after years and years of making leaded fuel. The California Riviera baby! Right there it's beautiful

Chevron Maintenance, Rust-Colored Paint, and Cost Analysis

A host shares an anecdote from their time as an inspector at a Chevron refinery, comparing their maintenance practices to Union Oil. While Union Oil painted their tanks in pastel colors, Chevron's cost analysis showed it was cheaper to let tanks rust and replace them than to maintain the paint. To solve the aesthetic problem of rusted tanks, Chevron eventually began painting them a "rust color" to blend in.

chevron· maintenance· cost analysis· refinery· union oil

2:22:28 It's a nice spot. Yeah, I just thought that to be rather suspicious. Yeah this happened before there though. Suspicious. They have some maintenance. Chevron has always been sloppy with... Here is my story about the maintenance at these places so i worked at these refineries and I was an inspector at Chevron in Richmond but I worked at the Union Oil Refinery and they used to be this big thing before it was taken over by cheapies that own it now. When Union Oil had it, they used to paint their tanks all these pastel colors and was very pretty sight when you drove through it. Did you see that when you landed at LAX or is that a different place? No we're talking about up here okay I'm just relating to Chevron to talk about the fact that they're cheap with their maintenance yeah this roundabout story...I don't have to tell it! Yeah you do

2:23:20 So they had, they used to paint their tanks and so when I started as an inspector at Chevron that their tanks were all rust buckets. They were just looked terrible it was an embarrassment when you look down my God this place is a wreck because the tanks are all rusting and falling apart! So i talked to one of the managers about this and compared to the Union Place where they painted the tank's beautiful pastel colors and they kept painting them and maintaining them. And he said there's a cost analysis that Chevron did, that showed that yes you can maintain the tanks will stay in place longer time but the cost of maintaining them with the paint actually is more expensive than letting rust fall apart and rebuilding a new tank

2:24:04 Yeah, sounds like the American way. The American way! And so then over time what was the irony of the whole thing was that Chevron because they were getting so much grief for these ugly looking rusted out tanks had a perfect solution instead of painting the tanks white and letting them rust they painted them rust colored That's a blend in. It was genius! Oh, that was great. I'm glad you told that story. That was worth it. And they're very pretty the rust colored tanks are really pretty so just like okay well that works. I mean they blow up but otherwise... Well anyway, they rust out and leak and it's a mess. Yeah oh that's good that one is well worth uh well worth it. I like that

Long COVID Roundtable, RFK Jr, and NIH Funding

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. holds a roundtable to address Long COVID, noting that $1.5 billion in NIH funding has yielded few results. Researchers and advocates call for a broader strategy, including biomarkers for diagnosis and increased participation from the pharmaceutical industry. The hosts express skepticism, suggesting "Long COVID" is a catch-all term used to maintain public focus on the virus and secure more funding.

long covid· robert f. kennedy jr· nih· hhs· clinical trials

2:28:28 So there is a, I have a series of clips from uh...I think it's PBS. I'm not sure but this is about long COVID and its a bunch of BS it seems to me And it finishes with what I call the crock. So long COVID, let's just establish whatever you think and by the way you don't have to email me because whenever we talk about long COVID people tell me it's real and I'm not saying that it's not really that you don't feel something and you feel bad or you have something but calling it long COVID is bullcrap! It's a cop-out

2:29:08 Well, it keeps I believe after listening to this these clips and listening about log and COVID over the five years. Yeah. Uh, I believe it to be part of a effort to keep the word COVID in play so you can sell more vaxxers because a lot of people, especially the new super spike or whatever is called the Super Madonnas big spike. A lot of people have chronic fatigue disease that's real But even one of the guys here goes to our church, he's in his late 40s I think. Maybe 50 and he was diagnosed with long COVID but really had heart arrhythmia you know? And so it's like they just say long COVID for everything. Yeah, COVID triggered it probably

2:29:59 Maybe I mean or the VAX you triggered. No, no not Vaxxed not vaxxed cookies not bad, but he did he gave ever have kovat well You know a lot of people here test so who knows oh? I have Kovats Okay, well did he think he had kovat yeah for sure So here we go with long covert BS and the thing is it's two things keeping covet in In the public brain and then also money. Yes, it's been more than two years since the pandemic ended but millions of Americans are still living with long COVID. That is a catch-all term for COVID symptoms lasting at least three months after testing positive. Symptoms can vary from person to person but they range from mild to severe to physically disabling

2:30:50 Recently, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr kicked off new efforts to address Long COVID with a round table discussion with doctors researchers and patient advocates. In the past the response to epidemics of this kind has been to pump a lot of money into ivory tower science try to solve the problem we've already put 1.5 billion dollars into NIH to solve long COVID and we've got literally nothing from it Allie Rogan spoke to two members of the Long COVID community. Dr Michael Peluso, a physician and researcher at UC San Francisco who attended that roundtable meeting and Megan Stone the executive director of The Long COVID Campaign So can I get the zip code for The Long COVID Community? Yeah you're in the Long COVID Community yeah my goodness it's just south of South of you yeah community all right

2:31:47 All right, go on. Michael and Megan thank you both so much for joining us. Michael first to you we just heard Secretary Kennedy say that there's been nothing to show for HHS' investments so far in long COVID research what do you say to that? Well I think many of us agree that progress has really been too slow um there are a lot of patients really suffering a lot of disability um a huge economic cost At the same time, there's a lot of commitment on the part of clinicians caring for patients with long COVID. Researchers really trying to figure out the answers for these patients. What I think we need and what I hope that this roundtable will be the beginning of is a really clear both short-term plan and long term plan for figuring this out. We need a broader organized strategy

2:32:39 So what would make up Michael sticking with you that long and short term plan in order to make this strategy work? What's needed. There are actually three specific things that I advocated for at this meeting, and I think there was kind of broad agreement on these things The first is real investment, real investment. Real investment in a diagnostics and biomarker program both to help people get a diagnosis of long COVID-19 in the clinic but also to help us identify individuals who may benefit from a specific treatment strategy or for participation in a specific clinical trial. The second thing that we really need is rapid scale up

2:33:25 of the number of clinical trials that are happening. We've seen some improvements, some increase in the number of clinical trials over the last couple years but I'd like to see a dozen more clinical trials right now testing all of the different possible leads for what might cause long COVID and how we might help people feel better. Translation? We don't really know what it is either. It's just pathetic yeah But give me some money and I can tell you what it is. Money, money, money. And then the third thing that we really need to help that happen is we need the pharmaceutical industry to get off the sidelines and to really commit to participating in clinical trials putting their drugs up for testing investing deeply in this problem so that we can get answers for people who are really debilitated from this condition

2:34:18 As somebody who is a patient and an advocate, how are you feeling about the commitments that have been announced recently? Well right now today there's about 20 million Americans just like me who are living with long COVID. Many of us were in the prime of our careers and lives and now are disabled and chronically ill so the administration's announcements that Secretary Kennedy made were welcome. It was really good to see the HHS secretary having a high-level meeting, bringing together all the parts of government that we really need to work together to find a solution and that is really what we need to see so parents like myself can get back to volunteering at our kids' schools, go back to our workplaces and patients can finally get tests and treatments that we have been waiting over five years for now

CHAPTER 49 / 55 Discussion

Long COVID Childhood Illness Claims, Disability Insurance

Advocates claim that Long COVID has surpassed asthma as the most common childhood illness in the United States. The discussion at the HHS roundtable focuses on the need for the FDA to rapidly approve treatments so that disabled Americans can qualify for insurance coverage. The hosts question the data behind these claims, particularly regarding the prevalence of the condition in children.

long covid· asthma· childhood illness· disability· fda

2:35:03 I'm just going to guess that your final clip should not be three minutes and ten seconds. Let me take a look. Probably not, generally speaking it's I can explain how that happens once in awhile but i'm not going to No why bother? Yeah yeah I'll tell you when to cut it off It'll be around the...you know We'll see Buck 20 Megan you've been working on these things and advocating for your community for these five years Based on your experience what are your hopes for what happens next And also where do your concerns lie

2:35:38 By the way, this is so scripted. You think? An NPR show or PBS script it? By the way when I play The Boeing it'll be over. Surprise! Based on your experience what are your hopes for what happens next and also where do your concerns lie Like many patients, the Long COVID campaign has been calling for biomarkers so that we can do research and figure out if treatments are going to work and hopefully get a test so that people in the United States Americans who are disabled can more easily qualify for disability. That way you can see insurance coverage

2:36:14 We really want to see the FDA move more quickly and we're hoping with these announcements from the administration that we'll see them, or rapidly approve clinical trials with endpoints that we need. And then work together on approving treatments and therapies that families and Americans living with long COVID urgently need. We didn't see the progress we needed under the Biden administration. I know so many patients are ready to work with this administration in an earnest way to actually solve this problem." And for both of you, COVID-19 and LongCOVID are things that many Americans have quite simply moved on from. And yet there are many more people who were living with this every single day. First to you Michael what do you want people who haven't been affected by long COVID to know about this community?

2:37:02 I think it's really important that people understand that this can often be an invisible disease and that there are a lot of people really suffering, and really debilitated by it. And you know, I think that the investment in addressing this problem is likely to have benefits that extend beyond this problem. Long COVID is a really, really challenging disease to study, to research, to treat, and it'll be a big problem to solve but I think that if we have the resources and the strategy and the long-term plan to do it, this should be a problem that we can solve.

2:37:40 Americans may feel like the pandemic's over or that COVID is in the rearview mirror, but even in just the last few months we saw the announcement that long COVID is now the most common childhood illness in the United States. It even surpassed asthma so it still... What? It surpassed asthma! The most common childhood disease in America is now long COVID When did that happen? When you're a kid, you can't even get COVID. It's almost impossible but somehow it has become the number one childhood disease surpassing asthma According to these jamokes I'd like to see some data on that

Taylor Swift Speech Analysis, Harvard Drag Queen Professor

Researchers at the University of Minnesota analyze Taylor Swift's speech patterns, noting how her accent shifted from Southern to Pennsylvania to a lower pitch as her career evolved. The hosts mock the study as a misuse of tuition funds. They also discuss Harvard's hiring of a drag queen as a visiting professor for gender and sexuality studies, viewing it as a sign of institutional decline.

taylor swift· university of minnesota· harvard· drag queen· linguistics

2:38:27 Give me your Taylor Swift phony story. What is this Taylor Swift? Okay, I got this! They have to talk about Taylor Swift on NPR... Of course! Because it's Taylor Swift but this is kind of like- I consider this even though they kind of couched as a positive thing she's a good marketing woman and all this and that but this to me just says she's a big phony Taylor Swift talks about her musical and personal style in eras. Researchers say those eras have also influenced how she speaks Matthew Wynn of the University of Minnesota co-authored a study that analyzed her speech from 2008 to 2019 as a person moves to different cities and different communities

2:39:12 They have motivation to change how they speak. While most people don't record themselves from location to location, Swift's career allowed for that We have this timeline of her voice throughout the years. Swift was raised in Pennsylvania then moved to Nashville. Nguyen analyzed this clip of Swift speaking from her time in Nashville My role models and country music are Shania Twain Faith Hill Dixie Chicks Part of what it means to be a country musician is to speak with that southern accent. And just to make sure she was welcomed into that community, maybe that was something that helped that process." When Swift released Red in 2012 her speech seemed to change A return to her Pennsylvania accent seemed evident in a live webcast in 2013. "...a huge inspiration from my imagination..." She was exiting country music and entering pop music

2:40:01 where a southern accent wouldn't have necessarily fit in as well. Then, after she moved to New York the pitch of her voice dropped as in this 2019 interview with CBS Sunday Morning And he has 300 million reasons to conveniently forget those conversations Wynn explains This was a time when she was being much more vocal about social and political issues and the autonomy of musicians over their own work And so I think she did what a lot of people do. She took those issues very seriously, she started speaking with a lower voice. This was what university now? Oh, I don't know. Pennsylvania or something... Whatever. ...talks about her musical and personal style in eras. Researchers say those eras have also influenced how she speaks Matthew Wynn of the University of Minnesota Co-op. Minnesota! If you go to the University of Minnesota drop out immediately they are misusing your tuition Well this is like Harvard having that

2:41:02 That drag queen give a course in... In drag queenery. What was the name? She's got this crazy name, something that I guarantee that at least five people in the control room will come up with her name and it's just a crazy nutball course and its Harvard there is coming now I'm waiting for it I'm looking into did we have a clip No, I don't have a clip of this. It's dumb so that's dumber than what i just played All right what you do have is you have a podcast clip let's end on a podcast clip You have a podcast clip?

Mimi of course is running for office in the Port Angeles area and runs into this all the time which is that big council and county commissioners and everybody in between you can present them with petitions, you could have the places packed with people that tell them to do this and that, you see it in school boards

2:43:08 You see it on YouTube videos and they refuse to act. These local officials, for some reason over the last few decades have not become responsive... They've become unresponsive to the local communities and this Bucky story I'm sure is exactly the same. This is completely out of control they've gotten something into their heads where they don't have to listen to the public anymore. Well, why would they? That's why me-me-me for City Council! Thank you Digitup! The troll room is on the ball.

Oh good, we love a John C. Dvorak wine. It's a cheap wine that...I have it every so often and every time I have it I say why don't I plug this wine? And it's interesting because I'll give you a little backstory about some of these cheap California wines that are done by Gallagher

2:57:33 And they bring out this fabulous wine that the Turning Leaf was a good example, if you can remember back that far. Came out as a Cabernet it was like 10 bucks nine bucks tasted like a $50 wine and then the next year tasted kind of like a 20 dollar wine and then the next year tastes like a five dollar wine and then they fold it but they made lots of money I bet they did So this is different. These guys have yet to have dropped the quality of this product, this is a screwball wine that I think came out of... This came out of a bunch of purchases actually at the bottle here that Robert Mondavi did before he died. Oh Robert!

2:58:16 Robert Mondavi, this is a Robert Mondavi wine and he bought a bunch of California wineries all over the place to use as estate taxes so he could just dump the wineries and the kids would still have their main winery. But it turned out that President changes whatever happened, he ended up with owning these places and they changed the names of them. And I don't remember which one this was specifically but it's one of the Valley wines from San Joaquin Valley But it's sold as Robert Mondavi and I'll tell you what it says on the label. And its like nine bucks, maybe up to 12 some places. Can I get it at Costco? Costco will have it but all kinds of places have it they make a ton of it

2:59:01 And it's a black label wine called Robert Mondavi Private Selection, which is always a giveaway for what? Come on. Nine bucks ten bucks and it's a black label isn't always black label wine Isn't always black label no Robert Mondavi has a tan label Well, this always has a black label because it's not really Robert Mondavi. It's not an apple wine. It's not made there either I don't think. But it says Robert Mondavi? It just says Robert Mondavi. Okay. Robert Mondavi private selection bourbon barrel aged Cabernet Sauvignon. Ooh that's very popular!

2:59:37 And this wine for a year after I've been drinking this on and off for about five years as it kind of just a quick one. If you want to have dinner, right? The hamburger line after breakfast, after breakfast hamburger wine is good for eggs hamburger wine. It's the total hamburger wine and it is just it's got its for a California wine. It's dark. It's got some cabernet character has got a lot of oak And it's a bourbon style oak. If you don't like oak, don't get this wine but if you like oaky wines... This is a very well-made wine! I'm going to see if HEB has one and talk to Matt at HEB and uh..I will tell him to push it. It's cheapy. I'll tell them to put like one of those uh... You know how... Sticker. Put a sticker on it. John C. Dvorak Tip Of The Day Wine. I'm telling ya we should have those. Yeah, the John C. Dvorak Tip Of The Day Wines There it is find all of John's tips at tipoftheday.net What a good one!!
