About this episode

NASA launched four astronauts from Kennedy Space Center aboard the Artemis 2 mission, signaling a strategic pivot toward a permanent presence in cislunar space. NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman and Dean Chang of the Potomac Institute for Policy Studies highlight the urgency of this mission as China targets a manned moon landing by December 2030. This renewed space race focuses on securing a lunar economy and establishing American technological superiority over Beijing.

President Donald Trump threatened strikes on Iranian civilian infrastructure following a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, while U.S. B-52 bombers deployed 2,000-pound bunker-busters against an ammunition facility in Isfahan. Secretary Pete Hegseth declared the conflict has entered a decisive phase as the U.S. searches for 600 pounds of enriched uranium dust. Simultaneously, Senator Marco Rubio and Mark Rutte are navigating a fractured NATO alliance where key members like France and Turkey have restricted U.S. military basing rights.

In a bizarre turn of events, Senator Lindsey Graham faced social media scrutiny after being photographed at Disneyland with a Princess Ariel bubble wand. The episode also tracks the recovery of a host from heart surgery, including a harrowing hospital experience involving a collapsed lung and a strict no-water policy. John C. Dvorak and Adam Curry also examine the satirical Gays of Hormuz man-on-the-street segment.

NASA Artemis 2 Moon Mission, Cislunar Space Terminology

NASA's Artemis 2 mission launched four astronauts from Kennedy Space Center, marking a significant step in the renewed space race to establish a lunar base. NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman emphasizes a shift toward a monthly launch cadence and repeatable missions to "cislunar space," a term describing the area between Earth and the Moon. The mission serves as a strategic signal of American technological superiority to geopolitical rivals, specifically China.

00:00 To the moon, Alice! To the moon. To the moon! And broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region Number 6, In The Morning everybody. I'm Adam Curry and from Refinery Row up here in the North San Francisco Bay...I was gonna say to the moon. I'm John C. Dvorak We gotta coordinate these. No, we can't coordinate these things I was gonna add Alice Yeah so throw in one of your trademark no-one understands what JCD is talking about references Exactly Alice Is that from the Honeymooners? From Jackie Gleason? You remember Barely

00:59 Apparently. To the moon, Alice! To the moon! Was that how much he loved her? Is that what the deal was? And as always... He's threatening to punch her No he was not What? What do you think it meant? No, he's... no! He meant he loved her. Didn't want to punch her Are you kidding me?! He only said that when he was mad at her and he had his fist in a ball and he was swinging it around And he was gonna say To the moon one of these days Well Shoji this is exactly what I mean. No one understands these references It's okay. I think they're suppressed! Well, they should be it's completely misogynistic you can't have that kind of stuff anymore He never hit her But this is the threat and the threat is violence by itself Yeah yeah silence is too

01:49 Listen to this foamer girl on NPR with the rocket going to the moon. NASA says the Artemis 2 moon mission is proceeding as scheduled following yesterday's launch of four astronauts from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. NPR's Nell Greenfield Boyce was there for lift-off. The rocket is just arcing up into the sky, there's a tremendous noise and just a bright bright star like the sky as it goes up and up. The sound was like physical, you could feel your body shaking and there's a long straight cloud white cloud coming down from the rocket which is still very visible high up in

02:31 astronauts on board and it's amazing to think that they're on top of this thing. And it's just going up and up enough that we can still hear it, like a very loud flag flapping sound and all eyes are on this thing." That's NPR's Neil Greenfield voice the astro. I love her! Does she know that we have television these days? the theater of the mind you know what it's a flapping noise and I can't believe that on top is this thing has a white trail behind it yeah we're watching it on television NPR girl. It was, well there you go. That's big rocket! Is a big rocket and of course they launched it on April Fools Day look pretty real to me though. A lot of work to make it not real all those people witnessing

03:21 You know, that thing's still not as big as Saturn 5. I watched most of this coverage The thing is huge but Saturn five is still a few feet bigger Well it's not the size It's in the motion of the ocean And they're going to slingshot this thing around the moon This is big deal...I got a couple clips Do you have anything on the rocket? No No, why? What was there to re... Well. There's no controversy. Well. We found something good. There is always something well let see yeah actually got the

03:58 I got Isaacman, he's the administrator of NASA. That guy with the ears? The guy with the ears! He could fly to the moon just with his ears! Holy mackerel Here is... hey you know this is serious man we're in a new space race for the Moon base So this is the opening episode but you're gonna start seeing launches to the moon almost on a monthly cadence. A lot of uncrewed vehicles are going to go there as we start to build out the moon base, you're gonna see crewed vehicles with astronauts going at some point every year eventually getting down to six months vehicle architecture will change until you've got repeatable affordable missions going to and from the Moon yeah okay and you know how they're gonna do that?

04:42 They have moon partners. that are building our lunar landers, SpaceX and Blue Origin incorporate some degree of on-orbit assembly or on orbit cryogenic prop transfer. These are going to be game changing capabilities for the United States so we are moving in that direction for sure. It's a little entremont here this came in this morning as the astronauts are talking to Houston and they had a little bit of a problem they thought mission control could help them with

05:25 Yeah, go for it. And then I also see that I have two Microsoft Outlooks and neither one of those are working if you want to remote in and check Optimus on those two outlooks That would be awesome Why did they? What? They said... Okay wait stop the show clip of the day Microsoft Outlook crashes I'm telling you. Yeah, give me 10 points for that the whole thing's worth it. Let's listen to that one more time. Can you remote in is even worse than that? Just yeah just this. That's the worst from mode in thought that was great

06:15 Okay, we're sending these guys to the moon and they're using Outlook. I wonder if they are on... Do you think they upgraded to Windows 11 so they have support? They better! Anyway this whole thing is obviously about national security When America returns to the moon builds a Moon base that returning to the Moon this time to stay it sends a message It sends a message every one of our adversaries or geopolitical rivals around the world of what we are capable of doing. It sends a message what were capable of doing across every one of the most important emerging technological domains I will tell you it is absolutely erased right now success and failure on the moon is going to be measured in months not years Success or failure as months, not years And this my friends You may think would just blowin money on rockets blowing on a moon base Uh-uh This is a critical piece

07:10 of your golden dome. We're going higher. We're going into cis lunar space, we're sending American astronauts back to the moon. What? Cis lunar space did he... Did I hear that correctly? It sounded like you said sis. Sis yeah it's what i heard too Like trans or cis. Yeah cis, cis lunar space Some sort of sexual thing Higher! We are going into cis lunar space. Yeah cis lunar space Well I wonder what cis... We've..I think we've looked this up Do we have a couple times and never makes any sense really.

08:02 to We're going higher, we're going into cislunar space. We are sending American astronauts back to the moon... Listen listen you can hear the laughter. ...of satellites. We are going higher, we are going into cislunar space. We are sending American astronauts back to the moon... We are sending them back to build a Moon base so there is no doubt our adversaries are trying to counter our capabilities in space but this why President Trump signs a national space policy calling for the continuation of American superiority in the high ground of space

08:42 Cislunar space, the high ground of space. These are new terms we should be learning these terms. That's a show title. Cislunar space? It was a little long. Yeah or just cis lunar maybe. Had a bit here, as we apparently are still racing the Chinese. I think have the Chinese... Have they only banked stuff into the moon? Have they crash landed or have they had anything land successfully? I don't know. I think all it is was to crash lands. I think that just crashed landed. For all the complexity care and frankly rocket science that goes into this moment

China Lunar Ambitions, 2030 Moon Landing Goal

China is aggressively pursuing a manned moon landing with a target date of December 31, 2030. Dean Chang of the Potomac Institute for Policy Studies suggests that China will move "heaven and earth" to ensure Chinese boots leave an impression on the lunar surface. This persistence poses a direct challenge to U.S. dominance in space travel and the future language of lunar operations.

china· moon landing· dean chang· potomac institute· lunar surface· space travel

09:25 One, booster ignition and lift off. There's little else it comes down to but the wonder of this moment... And how wonderful it was to see years of planning and an estimated 93 billion dollars pay off Artemis 2 with humans on board heads off to the moon. Today's successful launch is also a move that NASA's new administrator has been pushing for Jared Isaacman has criticized the pace of this Artemis program for taking too long and showing too little he recently revamped plans to get more missions going faster even to establish a moon base before competitors like China can make progress if there are constant Chinese missions and rare American mission

10:13 What makes you think the language of space travel will be English? Dean Chang is a senior fellow with the Potomac Institute for Policy Studies. He sees China's persistence to go to the moon as a real challenge to the US, with timelines You can bet that they will move literally heaven and earth To make sure that Chinese boots leave an impression on the lunar surface by December 31st 2030. Humanity's next great voyage begins still Artemis is the farthest along and if all goes well in days these astronauts will be physically farther than any other crewed mission has ever gone even as they know their job is to be the test case so humans can go even further Beside the endless articles about the color of their spacesuits it's orange

CHAPTER 03 / 47 Discussion

New Lunar Economy, US-China Space Competition

The current push for the Moon is framed as a competition for a "lunar economy" rather than just a race to land. While the 1960s race was against Russia, modern lawmakers view China's deep space ambitions as a primary national security concern. NASA aims to establish a permanent base to secure economic and strategic interests before China can leapfrog American capabilities.

lunar economy· space race· cnn· national security· moon base· spacex

11:05 It really, this whole thing really does seem to be that have a China angle to it which I didn't expect that or at least there wasn't lot of that in the preamble. I thought so You thought there was a lot of China angle? Yeah, I thought the whole things about China and I was always convinced if China had been threatening to land man on the moon we wouldn't do this all. Its too expensive Hey man, it's a part of the Golden Dome. One more clip this from CNN again about China and the new lunar economy. Back 50 plus years ago the first mission to the moon that was space race with Russia today the race is really with China how much... Doesn't Russia still make our engines?

11:46 I know Elon makes them now. We don't, but they do! You can still buy the Russian engines...I think we'd buy some. They never said who made these engines. Maybe we should buy a few of these engines? Race is really with China. How much has China's own space race fueled this push to get back to the moon? Right absolutely major fact right I mean is it legal right? Absolutely, right. Absolutely. I think so we'll listen again back to the moon right absolutely I would say it's a major rhapsody It's more like a raft other absolute

12:28 Right, absolutely. I would say it's a major factor. The reason that this is a race and exactly whether it's a race is kind of up for debate but certainly lawmakers have made clear both Democrats and Republicans that they consider us to be in a new space race with China and it being a national security concern if they leapfrog our deep space capabilities. So that's the goal here, right? China clearly has ambitions to build a base on the moon. So the United States is stepping up to that challenge and saying we want to build one too. So the big question here maybe isn't who lands on the moon first again but maybe who gets to that lunar base and establishing a new lunar economy as NASA likes to say. And China is certainly driving that

13:09 We'll see. Lunar economy? Lunar economy! Tina was having none of it, she says, but lower my gas prices I don't care about what we do with the lunar economy and i think that's... It wasn't the same in the media made some excitement about it when they were getting onto into the capsule But there wasn't a lot you know are people that excited anymore the way we were No, it doesn't look that way. But when they showed the crowd at Kennedy and there's a bunch of little kids who watched it and they're all excited so maybe you know which is us being old. Speak for yourself Tonto! Hey hey you getting... You're gonna be a year older

Easter Sunday Determination, Hebrew Calendar and Equinox

The calculation of Easter Sunday is discussed in relation to its shifting dates on the Gregorian calendar. The date is determined by the first Sunday following the Paschal full moon, which occurs on or after the vernal equinox. This method links the holiday to both the lunar cycle and historical Hebrew calendar traditions.

14:00 I've got a birthday coming up. On the 5th? The...the fifth, that should be exciting! Is that-is that is that a show day or not a show day is it? It's Easter Sunday Oh wow you celebrate on Easter Sunday?! Yeah Oh that's great Isn't it? Yeah It happens about once every 12 years Wow, yeah I didn't realize that. Easter kind of snuck up on me as well it's not the same... how do they plan that? Is that the Hebrew calendar is why its so confusing? That's a good question because I've been baffled by myself sometimes its March and sometimes its here you know there's some times July 4th It's all over the place!

14:49 No, it's never been that. I have a feeling...I think it's the Hebrew calendar but it just snuck up on me. We should you know is the robot operating? The robot well you mean it's the robot talk operating? I don't have her in talk mode and you know I'm on Linux now she's not compatible with it. I can get her working for Sunday I don't want to delay the show. We shouldn't be guessing, we should be right here with computers in front of both of us Well, we have... Of course I can ask my... Let me... Okay How is Easter Sunday determined? Okay Alright, let's see what she says And the robot says... It's calculating I need to put you in fast mode, robot See this is the problem If you don't... okay Oh it's the Verano Equinox

15:43 And the Pashaal full moon and the next Sunday. So it has... Oh man, this is complicated! Yeah. So it's calendar-based? It's moon based? Hmm. Okay Well, there you go. That was riveting I'm glad we figured that out. Well at least we Hebrew calendar. Yeah Hebrew calendar So what's your got? Oh my god. I get my typical and I'm keeping a documenting my thesis that Trumps just gonna pull out oh, I think you're right I've seen enough in fact to have a few I have a few clips but the what I'm hearing now is hey

Donald Trump Iran Policy, Strait of Hormuz Blockade

President Donald Trump has urged U.S. allies to take responsibility for policing the Strait of Hormuz following an Iranian blockade that caused global oil prices to surge. Trump threatened to target Iranian civilian infrastructure, including power plants and water systems, if the waterway is not reopened. Additionally, the administration is monitoring Russian oil shipments to Cuba, with Trump suggesting the island nation is "gone" regarding U.S. influence.

16:29 You know, we're going to wait for them to make a deal and then we're gonna... you know what? We don't need the Hormuz Straits. Let France take care of it." Yeah that's what I'm hearing. So i've got variations on the theme here with a bunch of Iran clips which are scattered throughout the list so I'm gonna have Give them to you individually. Try this one, Crazy John Carl. Tonight with Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz causing oil prices to soar around the world President Trump is urging America's allies to quote build up some delayed courage go to the strait and just take it in a phone call The president told me of our allies

17:09 They can police it themselves. Why should I do it for them? They weren't there for me." The president is suggesting that America's allies should be there to help, even though they didn't start the war. France Spain and Italy have all expressed reluctance to get involved. President has acknowledged he was elected on a promise to bring down the cost of living but today he told me the booming stock market before the war made it a good time to do it Trump insists the oil prices are going to go down. He has threatened if Iran doesn't immediately open the strait, he will be quote blowing up and completely obliterating their civilian infrastructure including power plants and water systems. He also says that US and Iran are talking telling me we have regime change

17:57 and this group is much more moderate and much more reasonable. The president says his team has been talking with the speaker of the Iranian parliament, Mohammad Ghalibaf. Speaker Ghalibaf has been jabbing the president on social media he's toned it down a lot Trump told me but he's much better. The President then adding ominously we know where he lives let's put it that way. And in Cuba, the president telling me Cuba's gone When I asked him if he was talking about a military operation against Cuba, Trump said. I can't tell you that. I trust you implicitly but I can't tell you this Cuba thing kind of bothers me. Cuba's gone. Is he talking about? Does the Cuba thing bother you at all? What do you mean does it bother me like to wake up in a cold sweat? Yeah well yeah and a cold sweat saying what the hell they doing to Cuba! I mean it just out of the blue. What do you mean did they let some oil in there?!

US Military Strikes in Isfahan, B-52 Bomber Deployment

U.S. forces conducted airstrikes on an ammunition storage facility in Isfahan, Iran, utilizing 2,000-pound bunker-busting bombs. Secretary Pete Hegseth announced that the conflict has entered a "decisive phase" as B-52 bombers fly deep into Iranian territory. Meanwhile, the search continues for American journalist Shelly Kittleson, who was reportedly kidnapped by an Iran-backed militia in Baghdad.

18:56 No, they didn't let any oil in. Yeah! They let the Russians unload a whole tanker of oil. No that's nice... So I'm not bothered by that they got some oil you know the president is going with this thesis here's ABC this was ABC WNT US bombs key site tonight massive explosions ripping through this military complex in Iran ...setting flaming debris shooting into the air. An official telling ABC News, the U.S. struck an ammunition storage facility in Isfahan dropping multiple 2,000-pound bunker busting bombs For the first time in this war, The Pentagon now saying B52 bombers are flying deep over Iranian territory and tonight Secretary Pete Hegseth saying the battle is moving into a decisive phase The upcoming days will be decisive Iran knows that

19:51 and there's almost nothing they can militarily do about it. Yes, they will still shoot some missiles but we will shoot them down." Tonight a third aircraft carrier the USS George HW Bush departing for the Middle East with 4500 sailors aboard families emotional. I'm just trying to be strong for him it's really hard being away from someone like that Iran still wreaking havoc. New images of an oil tanker hit by an Iranian drone near Dubai, punching a hole in the ship sparking a fire on board and tonight an Iran-backed militia accused of kidnapping an American journalist in Baghdad Iraqi officials confirming this chilling video shows the moment Shelly Kittleson was forced into a car and taken authorities arresting at least one suspect as an urgent search intensifies

20:41 David, the State Department with a new warning tonight for Americans in Saudi Arabia about threats to places where they gather like schools and hotels. This as Iran threatens to attack American corporate facilities across the region Yeah, can I play a clip to add to your thesis? Play all the clips you want. Alright! This is... Here's the president talking about leaving Iran very very very soon. I would say that within two weeks maybe, two weeks maybe three. We're hitting them very hard last night. We knocked out tremendous amounts of missile making facilities as you probably read. I read it. Excuse me? Pardon me, will be the US gone or done with the war

Iran Regime Change Claims, Uranium Enrichment Stockpiles

President Trump claims that a "regime change" has effectively occurred in Iran due to the deaths of original leaders, though he maintains his primary goal remains the prevention of nuclear weapons. U.S. strategy involves striking Iranian bridges and infrastructure to force a deal while searching for 600 pounds of enriched uranium "dust." There is a stated intention to withdraw U.S. forces within weeks once specific military objectives are met.

We knocked out tremendous amounts of missile making facilities as you probably read. I read it. Excuse me? Pardon me, will be the US gone or done with the war

21:24 I think we're two or three weeks. We'll leave because there's no reason for us to do this look probably the state a guy can take a mine, drop it in the water and say oh it's unsafe. It's not like you taking out an army or your taking out of country unit they can drop it where he could take a machine gun from the shore shoot a little few bullets at his ship or maybe an over-the shoulder missile small missiles He doesn't really know much about military gear, does he? That's not for us. Sad Libby! That'll be for France. France?! That'll be for whoever is using this train but I think when we leave probably that's all cleared up today I heard tremendous numbers of ships were sailing through them. Tremendous! We're negotiating with them right now they've been again...we have had regime change now regime change was not one of the things i had as a goal I had one goal

22:16 They will have no nuclear weapon. And that goal has been attained, they will not have nuclear weapons but we're finishing the job and I think within maybe two weeks maybe a couple of days longer to do the job But we want to knock out every single thing they have. Now, it's possible that we'll make a deal before that because we'll hit bridges and we've had some will hit some bridges bridges in mind when he hits Reggie if they come to the table. That would be good. I like that. We have some nice bridges in my bridge too far as possible that will make a deal before that because we'll hit bridges and we've hit some will hit some bridges with a couple of nice bridges in mind

22:57 But if they come to the table, that'll be good. But it doesn't matter whether they're coming or not we've set them back It'll take 15-20 years for them to rebuild what we've done to I'm I gotta tell you I'm disappointed because I thought the whole plan was To control the Straits of Hormuz to be the financier Of the shipping and the insurance and now it's like France deal with it It doesn't sound... I think they got the writings on the wall. They can't do it there, they're at a position right now where they've done enough damage. I think they're only hanging around this is my thesis of course. They are only hanging around because they're hoping to God that they can find that 600 pounds of uranium enriched

23:46 Uranium. Uranium dust as the president calls it, nuclear dust. But there's a bunch of it they think they can grab it that was their great hope and I think they're gonna say well it's disappeared we're gonna have to put Mossad in there later maybe they can find it will come back but we can't stay here any longer Because everyone's irked at us, but we can still blame them for not helping us when we leave I think that's gonna be the kicker. When he leaves He's gonna say well you know we would have stayed but

CHAPTER 08 / 47 Discussion

Iranian Internal Politics, IRGC Military Coup Theory

Reports from the Middle East suggest the Iranian regime may have already collapsed internally, with the IRGC potentially operating a "puppet" leadership. While some regional voices advocate for a "chemotherapy" approach of continuous strikes to ensure total collapse, others believe the removal of sanctions could lead to a grassroots revolution fueled by social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok. Pakistan and China are currently positioned as potential mediators in the negotiation process.

irgc· iran· sanctions· tiktok· instagram· pakistan· china

24:21 Yeah, I got some of those but maybe you want to do your thing. No, go ahead if you've got something good. Oh, I've got CS first of all let's do a boots on the ground from the region from our producer there he says alive and kicking my military guys they're like that guy you're informant he's full of BS okay yes i have a feeling that maybe the military results are Not as rosy as the president. Well, I mean when they start showing you the videos on Network TV of a truck being blowed up come on

25:01 He says, alive and kicking! Just amazed by the number of quote analysts and quote experts discussing the quote detailed plans which are conveniently leaked through WAPO New York Post in every single major paper on the exact approach and step-by-step ground operation to seize the islands or retrieve enriched uranium stockpiles. The end of this seems near. Pakistan is taking a dual role here to manage the negotiation process, and China will step in as guarantor with actual skin in the game. The problem is how do we deal with a militarized angry and vengeful Iran that guarantees they won't aggressively rebuild and go all-in?

25:39 Some voices in the region think that we need to take the chemotherapy approach and keep hitting until the entire regime collapses, which is aligned with the Israeli approach. But the issue is at what cost? Do we have enough interception capabilities? Can we expose ourselves to such hardships short- and long term? Other voices believe that the regime already collapsed but the war itself is what keeps it fighting for survival And what happened to the initial decapitation event was a military coup by the IRGC, which picked a dead or nearly-dead puppet as a token for the Islamic Republic idea. There could be voices that will push the country towards a softer Islamic republic with acute supreme leader... ...or towards more pragmatic politically savvy bureaucracy. Iranian people are extremely smart with a wide range of political ideologies. Once sanctions are dropped, the regime could fall through Instagram or TikTok!

NATO Skepticism, US Withdrawal Threats

President Trump has ramped up rhetoric regarding a potential U.S. withdrawal from NATO, criticizing the alliance for failing to assist in the Iran conflict. The tension centers on the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, which has disrupted a fifth of the world's oil and gas supply. While Trump views NATO as a "paper tiger," British leadership maintains they will act only in their own national interest.

nato· donald trump· strait of hormuz· the telegraph· oil prices· uk

26:34 I agree. It wouldn't surprise me to be honest about it, couldn't- wouldn't be surprising Okay so NATO yes you are completely right the president has been lashing out according to France 24 And i've always said NATO's a paper tiger And I always said, we help NATO but they'll never help us. From jabs and scoldings to thinly veiled threats and angry outbursts... Over the last few weeks Donald Trump hasn't been shy in his criticism for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization A long time NATO skeptic the US president has now ramped up his rhetoric telling British newspaper The Telegraph that he was strongly considering pulling the United States out of the alliance

27:18 Trump says NATO isn't doing enough to help the US in its war with Iran, particularly when it comes to securing the Strait of Hormuz. A fifth of the world's oil and liquefied natural gas would normally flow through the narrow waterway but Iran has virtually closed it since the start of hostilities on February 28 causing global oil and gas prices to soar When asked about Trump's comments on Tuesday, the British Prime Minister stood up for NATO and reiterated his promise not to get dragged into the war.

28:01 on me and others, whatever the noise I'm going to act in the British national interest in all the decisions that I make. Okay so they're still kind of staying at arm's length and they sent over our boy? to help ease the pain a little bit. Mark Rutte showing up on The Fox News. All right, I want to start with some criticism you know the president has been sharply addressing what he sees as NATO's failures in this current situation here's what he said in The Oval Office earlier this week. I think NATO is making a very foolish mistake and I've long said that you know I wonder whether or not NATO would ever be there for us so this was a great test.

CHAPTER 10 / 47 Discussion

Mark Rutte, 22-Nation Coalition for Hormuz

Mark Rutte announced a coalition of 22 nations, including non-NATO members like Japan, South Korea, and Australia, to secure the Strait of Hormuz. However, several key NATO members, including Turkey, Greece, and Hungary, are not participating. Furthermore, France, Italy, and Spain have restricted U.S. military access to their airspace and bases during the current operations against Iran.

28:45 Yeah, what's up? So NATO is making a fool of... Don't we really run NATO. This whole thing is a charade Well it's not about NATO It's about these other... It's about the EU Screw those guys that's what he said Yeah it's about the EU but I think NATO is just a... this is a smoke screen Its code for... And you got his buddy Ruta Yeah Ruta is fake Duh! Listen to him. Wait until you hear what he's saying. Have you talked with the president? I know that you guys have had a good relationship. Yes, we haven't talked several times this week But before I get there let me just for I get there Let me stay here for the moment let me say something which is top of the show top of mind Just say at the top of our Interview thats my thoughts and prayers are obviously wisdom layers and women in uniform who are at this moment fighting to

29:47 to make the world more secure and implement the president's vision of making sure Iran will not get its hands on a nuclear facility, nuclear capability and ballistic missile capability. Yes, we cannot have that at all. But don't worry we are coming with 22 nations! I know the president was angry because he feels that European and other allies have been too slow The good news here is that since Thursday a group of 22 countries most of them from NATO but also Japan, Korea Australia New Zealand the UAE and Bahrain most of the other countries from NATO coming together to implement his vision of making sure that the Strait of Hormuz is free is opening up as soon as that's possible so we are now planning the military people and others. The military people! This group of 22 nations with the US

30:40 When can we do that? What is needed and how should we do this?" Okay, well let me tell you. So the 22 nations not included in this coalition are NATO members Turkey Greece Poland Belgium and Hungary so those they're not participating And even though France Italy Spain are participating. Spain closed their airspace to us, Italy denied bombers use of the air base in Sicily and France has refused territory for military operations as well Those in the coalition who are not NATO members Japan South Korea Australia New Zealand United Arab Emirates and Bahrain

Marco Rubio, NATO Basing Rights Critique

Senator Marco Rubio questioned the continued value of the NATO alliance, describing it as a "one-way street" where the U.S. defends Europe but is denied basing rights for its own national security interests. Rubio suggested that once the current conflict concludes, the U.S. must re-examine its relationship with allies that refuse overflight rights and base usage during American military operations.

marco rubio· nato· military bases· europe· national security· overflight

31:31 And Rubio is the one who's going out to explain this on behalf of the president. He had a long interview with Sean Hannity. Sean, I've been one of the strongest defenders of NATO during my time as United States Senator because I found great value in it and it wasn't just about defending Europe. I said it also allowed us that military bases in Europe that allowed us to project power into different parts of the world when our national security was threatened if now we have reached a point where the NATO alliance means that we can use those bases that infected that we can no longer use those bases to defend America's interests, then NATO is a one-way street. Then NATO is simply about us having troops in Europe to defend Europe but when we need their help—not their help! We're not asking them to conduct air strikes. When we need them to allow us to use their military bases, their answer is no? Then why are we and NATO

32:19 Why are we in NATO? That's a good question. I think we should re-examine after the war is over! So, I think there is no doubt unfortunately after this conflict has concluded We're going to have to re-examine that relationship... ...We're gonna have to re-examine the value of NATO and that alliance for our country ultimately that's it Honey, NATO, we've got to talk And he'll have to make it. We're going to finish the job here, as I said we are very close to achieving our objectives on all of these things that I've outlined but i do think unfortunately we are going after re-examine whether or not this alliance that has served this country well for a while is still serving that purpose or does now become one way street where America is simply in a position to defend Europe but when we need help from our allies they're gonna deny us basing rights and they're gonna deny us overflight

CHAPTER 12 / 47 Discussion

Trump National Broadcast, Historical War Comparisons

In a recent national broadcast, President Trump compared the duration of the current Iran conflict to historical wars like World War I and World War II. Critics argue these comparisons inadvertently suggest a long-term commitment, despite Trump's stated desire to exit the region quickly. Senator John Kennedy has also pushed for a swift withdrawal, arguing that primary objectives have already been achieved.

donald trump· world war i· world war ii· korean war· john kennedy· political implications

33:06 Yeah, so it's just screw you guys. That's what it is but yes we are NATO so I'm sure you saw the president last night on his national broadcast? Yep! I thought that was very weak It was terrible And this was perhaps the worst...I don't know who advised him on this that sounds like something, I gotta tell people this. This was the stupidest thing I've ever heard. It's very important that we keep this conflict in perspective American involvement in World War One lasted one year seven months and five days World War Two lasted for three years eight months and 25 days The Korean war lasted for three years one month

33:57 What is the point of that? All you're doing is reminding people that this could last forever. Interesting that you interpreted it that way. I didn't think of it that way, but you're right That's why he's gonna have to get out within the next week or two Well, that's what are you saying? Two weeks three weeks couple days We'll be out of here tomorrow You know he did the problem he didn't he thinks he set it up He's a little concerned that Because you know Iran is going to claim victory and

34:56 no matter what happens. And he doesn't like that idea and he's worried about the political implications, about going in and rubble-izing and just leaving is great. So I think it's shaky. He wants to get out Like Senator John Kennedy said, why are we there now? We've done what we had to do. Let's get out. Kennedy is aware of this going on more than any other senator and I think Trump just can't pull the trigger or the military guys want to test more gear or who knows what. Oh well they always want to do that definitely

CHAPTER 13 / 47 Discussion

Marco Rubio Podcast, Iranian Conventional Shield

Senator Marco Rubio released a scripted explanation regarding the necessity of attacking Iran to prevent the completion of a "conventional shield." He argued that Iran was using a massive buildup of drones and missiles to protect its underground nuclear facilities from future intervention. Rubio asserted that a regime led by radical clerics with an "apocalyptic vision" cannot be allowed to possess nuclear weapons.

marco rubio· iran· nuclear program· drones· missiles· shia clerics

35:42 He reiterated that regime change was not the goal, which okay not explicitly but he keeps talking about it. Not our goal we never said regime change but regime change has occurred because of all of their original leaders death they're all dead the new group is less radical and much more reasonable And we still don't know who the new group is That's... Well, the head of the parliament is one of them. Yeah well there's that foreign minister guy who's on X. And yeah that guy, Baghdad Bob He's on X all the time. Baghdad Bob! We're not talking to anybody we don't know what he's talking about. We're winning this thing. And then Rubio was sent out and he almost did a podcast

36:37 You know, like a scripted thing. Let me just tell you why we did this! This is very important I'm Marco Rubio Many Americans are asking why did the United States have to attack Iran now? Well, let me explain. Iran wants to have nuclear weapons of that there is zero doubt if what they truly wanted which is what they claim as nuclear energy well They could have nuclear energy like all the other countries in the world habit and that is you import the fuel And you build reactors above ground That's not what Iran has done they build their reactors and their facilities deep in mountains away from the public glare and They want to enrich that material

37:16 The same equipment that they could use to enrich material for energy, they could use to quickly enrich it to weapons grade. So it is clear that they've been offered every opportunity to have a nuclear program that allows them to have energy not weapons and every single time they have turned it down But why the attack now? Well, what was Iran trying to do? Iran was trying to build a conventional shield in essence have so many missiles. Have so many drones that no one could attack them and they were well on their way we were on the verge of an Iran that had so many missiles and so many drones That no one could do anything about their nuclear weapons program in the future. That was an intolerable risk

37:54 Under no circumstances can a country run by radical Shia clerics with an apocalyptic vision of the future ever possess nuclear weapons. And under no circumstances can they be allowed to hide and protect that program, and their ambitions behind a shield of missiles and drones that no one can do anything about." Okay! Nice podcast Whatever. Exactly! So Iran is now formalizing the toll road Yeah, that's not going to last. Well it is illegal. France 24 doesn't think it's going to happen at all but here it is. Iran's National Security Committee has approved a bill that would impose these fees on the Strait of Hormuz according to the Iranian Fars News Agency and Iran has written to the International Maritime Organization saying it has to check the ships going through on the grounds of self-defense and that these checks will generate costs thus the tolls

CHAPTER 14 / 47 Discussion

Strait of Hormuz Tolls, UK Diplomatic Talks

Iran's National Security Committee approved a bill to impose transit fees on ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz, citing self-defense and inspection costs. International shippers remain skeptical, as paying such tolls could violate existing sanctions. Meanwhile, Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand joined talks in the UK to seek diplomatic solutions for reopening the trade corridor.

strait of hormuz· iran· anita anand· canada· uk· maritime law

38:54 But for shippers there are many questions lingering on whether paying those fiends Those fees would mean going against existing international sanctions leveled at Iran So even if Iran formalizes it, it's unlikely to be accepted by other countries Although right now there does not seem to be really other options to go across. Yeah, I agree I don't think that's going to happen but the UK is Is now the center of? The 35 countries who will be And the committee, I think to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. So they're trying... Oh, a committee! Yeah, steering committee. They're trying to do something. Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand is headed to the UK She will join multi-nation talks on finding diplomatic options to reopen the Strait of Hormuz trade corridor The meeting was called by the UK government today

39:45 Arnand says Canada will not hesitate to help secure the strait, but only if there is a ceasefire. The Liberal government has not yet decided on specific measures. It's Canada? It's what? You said it was the UK and its Canada I thought everyone was meeting in the UK did I... I know what she's talking about Canada Can I do taking this trip aside here just a little step aside Canada is nuts. Hmm, okay. Jeez! I want to put this from a couple of days ago that leading the national...I've decided I'm going to start following the CBC now The National which is a pretty good news presentation it's their premiere you know the top you know nightly news Yeah yeah it's there Tom Brokjaw.

Air Canada CEO, Quebec Language Controversy

Air Canada CEO Michael Rousseau is facing calls for resignation after delivering a condolence message regarding a fatal crash at LaGuardia Airport almost entirely in English. The crash killed pilot Antoine Fauré, a francophone from Quebec, sparking outrage in the province over Rousseau's lack of French proficiency. Rousseau has been summoned to Ottawa to testify before the official languages committee.

40:41 Hang in there, hang in there. You can do it! Don't do that don't do that. What? Don't make you laugh is that the problem? Yes, do not make me laugh okay so Canada this was a first time I played the teaser and then the story and then you tell me this no nuts here's Canada scandal The National Tonight, anger across Quebec after the message of condolence from the head of Air Canada was in English only. When you've been living in Quebec for 15-20 years, you should be able to speak the language Why it is not the first time Michael Rousseau has faced calls for an apology or resignation

41:25 Because he did only didn't English and not in French. This is the CEO of an airline He's not a politician has to speak in both languages all the time You know because they're the Quebecers who are trying to they're gonna do a breakaway move again one more time Which we haven't talked about on this show. It's why it's heating up by here yeah, I suppose if you eating up a lot and and this may be part of it but so then they go into the story here it is. Air Canada's CEO is facing intense backlash tonight including calls for his resignation after his message of condolence to the victims of the crash at LaGuardia Airport was delivered only in English

42:06 Michael Rousseau spoke just two French words in nearly four minutes. The plane, which took off from Montreal crashed into a fire truck on the runway killing both pilots Antoine Fauré and Mackenzie Gunter. Fauré was a French speaker from Quebec. Criticism has been especially sharp in that province as Sarah Levitt tells us this isn't the first time Rousseau has faced scrutiny for not speaking French Air Canada already had a terrible human tragedy to deal with following the crash at LaGuardia Airport, which killed a few pilots and injured many passengers. But the way it's partly handled that has created a political crisis. That along with this...

42:48 Merci. Were the only two French words spoken by Michael Rousseau in a video released after the crash, that's put the Air Canada CEO in hot water particularly in Quebec One of the plane's pilots Antoine Fauré was a francophone from the province I'm asking him to quit his job right now For sure he should apologize Air Canada shall ask him to resign. In an interview with Radio-Canada, Air Canada's VP of Communications apologized on behalf of the airline and said that despite years of lessons Rousseau's French was not good enough to discuss such a serious matter

43:25 The airline is subject to the Official Languages Act and now Rousseau has been summoned to Ottawa to explain himself in front of the official languages committee. It's also earned him an admonishment from the Prime Minister. It doesn't matter, but particularly in these circumstances lack of judgment a lack of compassion Yeah Canada you've kind of ripped us away from Iran Hormuz Straits etc But I but since your your move into Canada I don't know if you saw any of these. Well, I'm sorry that I did that but there was eating at me in these clips No it's okay But we're gonna play as... Can I play my Canada girl?

CHAPTER 16 / 47 Discussion

Canadian Public Safety Bills, Social Media Critique

A viral social media commentary highlights the rejection of several public safety bills in Canada, including measures targeting sexual predators and repeat offenders. The critique contrasts Canada's rising violent crime, collapsing healthcare system, and housing unaffordability with the "dystopian" image of America often presented in Canadian media. The speaker urges Canadians to acknowledge domestic failures rather than focusing on U.S. politics.

44:04 Oh, it's probably the same girl I have. Oh really? You think so? I'm just guessing yeah... oh wait maybe not here's your Canada girl Hello! I am a Canadian living in the United States and I just have a really quick question No this is no my Canada girl Are you aware of what actually happening in your own country Now one of things that I like to do around here is research before I speak So I just went ahead and made you couple notes So please allow me to explain to you what literally just happened. Yes, so this woman is ill I'll just point that out That this is what you're doing with your life on the tick-tock or wherever You got there probably this is more like an Instagram lady it sounds like was tik tok or Instagram

44:43 It makes a difference. In Canada, there was four public safety bills and they were all voted down so there's one called Bill C-246 have you heard of it? If not that's okay I'll sum it up for you So it would have made sure that sexual predators serve time for each victim not a bulk discount okay that was voted down Did you hear about Bill C-220? No. Okay, if not that's okay I'm here to help ya It would have stopped lighter sentences for rapists and child predators just because deportation might happen after That was voted down. Okay, did you hear about Bill C-243? If not... No It's fine I'm here for you! It would have protected victims from having to relive their trauma at parole hearings over and over and over again Wait a minute just let me understand so she lives in America And she's telling Canadians that they live in a horrible country is that what she's doing yeah The victims actually begged for this

45:39 It was voted down. Did you hear about Bill C-242? No, if not once again I'm here to help ya. The Jail Not Bail Act okay well that targeted repeat offenders cycling in and out of the system and that was voted down too And you know what can i just give you a little big picture here really quickly...I have the time so before you talk about avoiding America can we talk about insufferable this happening at home Violent crime has risen significantly over the past decade, okay? Our theft is at record highs. Do you like your vehicle? How about the collapsing healthcare system? Millions of Canadians still don't have a family doctor and or access to one. Housing is completely unaffordable Food bank usage is at record highs The catch-and-release policies are frustrating even law enforcement

46:21 Your own Prime Minister said that you will need to make sacrifices and suffer, and those were his words not mine. Where I'm from my tiny little town has four homeless encampments...four! But sure America's the problem right? Can you do me one really big favor? Here we go. Just turn the TV off just for a day United States is not this dystopian nightmare that you're being sold okay in Canada is not this flawless utopia that you pretend it is Oh give that woman a green card All right. Welcome to America, lady! Get off Instagram!" We got people in the troll room saying this show is single-handedly making me hate women. So I have a... And that's from a woman? Yeah, right. I have a Canadian clip, Canadian lady well questionable whether it's a Canadian lady or what it is. I think non binary conforming thing

CHAPTER 17 / 47 Discussion

NDP Convention, Gender Equity Cards

The New Democratic Party (NDP) convention in Canada featured a controversial "equity card" system designed to prioritize speakers based on their level of perceived privilege. Delegates used yellow and red cards to move ahead in the speaking line, leading to internal disputes over the "speaking order" and the value of identity-based participation. One delegate expressed frustration that her "gender equity card" was ignored by the moderator.

ndp· canada· equity cards· gender equity· identity politics· ontario

47:16 Did you see any of the footage from the NDP convention? Oh, yes. I saw all of it! I just had to pull at least one clip this... Well why don't you tell people what the NDP is National Democrat Party Canadians it's communists It's communists Yes and we've seen this before This is that kind of groups that get together and you can't clap You have to snap your fingers Yes, you have to ask for a point of privilege. You gotta do this and that nothing ever gets done Everybody's a freak what is it? What is the type of being on Star Trek cork was cork was Cork's race

48:00 Was it called? Ferengi. So this lady looks like a Ferengi The host is the one that's... Yes, she's the moderator. The podium girl. Yeah, the podium thing And people are in line and they have different colored equity cards and these equity cards from what I understand... Who came up with this idea? I've never seen this one before. I love it so you have an equity card and I think you have a yellow or red one and that means you can move ahead in the line And it's all based on privilege and underprivilege. Underprivileged mostly. This one clip just kind of sums it up There is a point of privilege on microphone 1, then we'll go to microphone 3 Go ahead delegate What happened in microphone 2? You discriminating Yes hello I was standing here with my gender equity card She has a yellow gender equity card Before you called on the previous speaker

48:54 And she's wearing a kithiye over her shoulder. She's all for Palestine. Equity card before you called on the previous speaker, that is my point of privilege and I would like to... I will explain the speaking order which is... So okay if I understand she's mad because she had a point-of-privilege card, a yellow one which is not the same as red one because the black lady gets a red one, you'll hear from her in a minute and so she was mad that she had a gender equity card and was not called on. Before you called on the previous speaker? Wait, wait... The irony of this clip is she's at the mic! She wasn't called on, you're being called on now. What more do you want? I'm mad about that! My gender equity card before you called on the previous speaker That's my point of privilege and i would like to... I will explain the speaking order which is fixed that I cannot amend Which is the pro-con rotation You can move yourself up a line that your standing in I am pro And I was We went

49:51 You went pro? We went pro con. Pro, and my plan was to go con. The speaker at Con Mic 3 also has a speaking card. Yesterday this card... Now she has what looks like a pink card A black woman with a white face mask was used in an inappropriate matter. And while I understand, in Ontario we know this is equity even if that this was also used inappropriately in terms of gender. I want everyone to be mindful that these cards for individuals like myself who identify as a black woman have no value outside of this space." I love that she identifies as a black woman because she's a black woman! It's amazing

No Kings Day, Gays of Hormuz Satire

A satirical "man on the street" interview at a "No Kings Day" protest featured a comedian asking participants about the "Gays of Hormuz." The segment mocked the focus on the Strait of Hormuz by suggesting the waterway be turned into a "Fire Island" style destination. The interviewees, seemingly unaware of the satire, agreed that the "Gays of Hormuz" have been historically discriminated against in war.

no kings day· strait of hormuz· satire· fire island· lgbtq· man on the street

50:36 This is fantastic. It's just... And this kind of brings me to No Kings Day, Can I do a transverse clip? Kind of a crossover clip that there was an interview on Man on the Street at No King's Day regarding Hormuz. We both have this clip. You got it too! Yeah, yeah okay yes this is an interview in the crowd... Man on the Street.

51:12 And I think this guy's a comedian, so he's doing a good job here for humanity. And it's a little muffled but you'll hear that he is talking about the Straits of Hormuz. Isn't it a little bit homophobic that we're so focused on the Straits of Hormuz and not the Gays of Hormuz? Yes! I agree. For sure. Yeah. Why do you think they are willing to leave the gays of Hormuz behind? I think it's just history, historically like you know gays have always been very discriminated against which is wrong on so many levels. Even in war? Yeah even in war and um... It just takes more reform in government obviously and then also educating society So the gays of Hormuz we could turn into Fire Island For sure for sure

52:02 That's the new Borat as far as I'm concerned. That guy, he needs to do more of this and so the... I got a lot of Fox clips for some reason The Fox, I don't know if it was the morning show? I can't remember They brought on a psychiatrist To talk about no kings and why people are going there And what it's doing for them. Well, maybe they have more to be distressed about these days. And I think largely they're just not happy with Trump winning that we have grievance on culture run wild the left for the most part loves to hate

CHAPTER 19 / 47 Discussion

Politics as Religion, Trump Derangement Syndrome

Mental health professionals are observing a rise in "grievance culture," where individuals are so hyper-focused on national politics that they cannot enjoy their personal lives. This phenomenon, often termed "Trump Derangement Syndrome," has led to persistent protests in places like Dripping Springs, Texas, and Berkeley, California. Analysts suggest that for many Americans, national politics has replaced traditional religion as a primary source of identity and conflict.

mental health· donald trump· grievance culture· dripping springs· berkeley· national religion

53:04 And whether it's a CEO of a healthcare company or billionaires, or politician. The culture is grievance culture But is there something more serious underlying all this that we should be actually concerned about? Well, we should be and if people are so hyper-focused on political figure and they're not able to enjoy life As a mental health professional, that's a huge problem that I see. I've had people over the years who couldn't enjoy their vacation because they were so fixated on Donald Trump They just said to me how can I possibly go on vacation knowing that he's in office? So we really should be concerned about this. I think that's true. I think people are really so upset

53:49 And I see, you know... They say so. They do! Yeah there's something is wrong with them and in your drive to Austin we have to go over 290 and you go through a dripping Springs or the drip as we call it And there's older people, so older than me 70s. And they're always at this one main intersection and they're always day in day out rain or shine no kings we hate Trump down with Trump. So yes and though we have that okay in Berkeley over the two years there's three overpasses in the Berkeley area once a walking bicycle thing over the freeway

54:31 and one's the big road, and there's another one. And ever since the first No Kings, there have been people up there with various signs they come when they go to science come in change. And it just up there all the time honk if you hate Trump. Yeah, honk yeah, honk if you hate Trump that's they do that in the drip as well? I don't know. It's like, it's not the most important thing in your life shouldn't be This is our overall general problem in America, is politics has just become the most important national politics. Not even your local politics! I mean we have a mayoral election unfortunately...I can't run as you know

55:19 What do you mean? I don't live in Fredericksburg. Oh, that's where your county is? Unincorporated yeah, I'm in Gillespie County. You're no good! I could run for sheriff or I could run for comp patrolla That's the job, comp patrolla. That's the job you want But, you know if you walk down Main Street and say what about Trump? Someone will have an opinion. You say what about Randy Briley who? No one knows that there's even a mayoral election going on so it's in fact this psychiatrist continues here in the second clip that politics has become the new national religion.

56:11 religious part with politics. And so then it ends up not being very satisfying. Yeah, absolutely in some ways of politics has become the new religion. Yeah yeah and so you know I covered just a few days ago this past week when President Trump had the Japanese Prime Minister at the White House, Sane Takeishi he made a joke about Pearl Harbor and everyone on the left in the left media and left politicians lost their minds It was clearly a joke. Like, are we at the point now where people are suffering so bad from TDS like they can't even get a joke? Well I also thought it was funny but... A lot of people didn't think it was funny

Lindsey Graham, Disneyland Bubble Wand Controversy

Senator Lindsey Graham drew social media attention after being photographed at Disneyland carrying a "Princess Ariel" bubble wand. Critics and media outlets like TMZ questioned the image, noting Graham was visiting the park without children. Graham later attempted to counter the "un-butch" image by posting photos of himself shooting clay pigeons in South Carolina.

56:50 You know, they're just so fixated looking for things that Trump can do wrong and I've long said that Trump could cure cancer and people have a problem with that. He said that actually! Jonathan, come back to see us because we are going to need more therapy on this segment. I love this segment! Okay stupid fox... Now if you think it's only people on the left in America who are crazy or nuts then that is a fast Lindsey Graham, Lindsey Graham is under attack. Since evidently there's nothing for a senator to do in these trying times, Lindsey Graham decided to go be where the people are down in Disneyland which he went to and had a good old time with and there's been a lot of great photos that have come out of this but I think by far my favorite is this one. I don't know exactly where he's at right there but I do know what he's holding

57:44 That is a Princess Ariel bubble wand. And do you know how I know that? Because I own a Princess Ariel bubble one, well technically my daughter Raina does because I bought it for her. It's a big wand with a kid's mermaid on it that plays kid music and bubbles come out of it and Lindsey Graham is walking around with it now. Lindsey Graham is childless single, he was not there with his kids. I have not seen any evidence that he was there with anyone's kids now if you were there with your friends' kids your brother or sister's kids maybe you buy them the Ariel bubble wand but as of right now The only explanation is that he saw a bubble wand with Ariel on it and he had to have it

58:31 Is he just that big of a fan of Ariel? I do think that he is a little bit more Personally anxious about that image than he wants to publicly admit because now we try to put out other images He put out this tweet saying spend some time breaking clays in Edgefield County today doesn't get much better than that And boy, doesn't he look butch. He's got his leather vest, he's got a shotgun. He really enjoys doing this. He's not a Disney guy or whatever. He really wants to be shooting those clays. I think that the Lindsey Duff protests too much

59:10 This is TMZ who's doing this. Well, that guy sounds like an acolyte of Glenn Beck. Well he's Young Turks. That's from Young Turks but it's TMZ that put out a call in fact... Oh, TMZ is out of control? They're opening up a DC office! No they're smart! Where is the show business fund?! It's all in D.C., I mean, where else can you get a story about Kristi Noem like this? Shocking photos have leaked from an online fetish community that allegedly feature Brian Noem the husband of former Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem. The Daily Mail obtained hundreds of messages purportedly sent between the former Secretary of Homeland Security's husband and three women who are involved in so-called bimbofication fetish scene

59:59 Leaked pics reportedly show Brian wearing comically oversized lopsided breasts, complete with fake protruding nipples. Other pictures show the South Dakota insurance mogul who has three children with Nome clad in pink hot pants and a skin-tight flesh colored crop top Did you see any of these pictures? You didn't see the one in the newsletter that you approved? Oh that's exactly where I did see it yes but that doesn't mean that YOU saw them I saw them. No, no that doesn't mean you saw them! I'm the one who found that picture that went to the newsletter. I get these from Tina. balloons made to resemble massive cockeyed bazoongas According to reporting by The Daily Mail Brian chatted up women from the online fetish scene in which adult performers augment their breasts with massive amounts of saline to achieve a Barbie doll like appearance

1:00:47 Representatives of Christie told the Post, the former DHS chief was quote devastated by the salacious allegations of her husband and that the family was quote blindsided by this. In a 2022 interview with Elysian, Christie Noem said that their family was an open book and transparent The Daily Mail also spoke with national security experts who said the existence of the scandalous photographs could have made Christie the subject to potential blackmail threats. Former CIA officer Mark Polymeropoulos told the outlet that the photos could be a, quote, tantalizing lead for a hostile intelligence service.

Kristi Noem, Corey Lewandowski Affair Allegations

Kristi Noem has faced questioning regarding an alleged affair with political operative Corey Lewandowski. During recent testimony, Noem refused to answer questions about her personal life, dismissing the reports as "tabloid gossip." The controversy comes amid broader speculation about the political futures of various Trump-aligned figures, including Marco Rubio and J.D. Vance.

1:01:25 Potential show title. They're like the ones that, that shop teacher. Oh man do we still... they may be their friends? You know there is a number of websites where you can buy that crap How would I know? I don't know Tina would Uh huh uh huh Do we still have clips with that teacher Yeah whatever happened to that guy I think they bought him off. He probably walked away with a lot of money. He might have, because he was totally playing that up like what's wrong? How come I can't identify as a woman with cockeyed bazoongas? The other angle to this is that... I don't have the clip but should've had it. Is Kristi Noem testifying and refusing to answer questions about having an affair

1:02:24 with, what's his name? Oh we had yeah Mimi had those. Yeah she gave it to me and I dropped the ball there but she's having an affair with uh what's that guy's name he was in the campaign Corey Lewandowski. Yeah Corey Lewandowski yeah i guess she's having an affair you say that and then she wouldn't answer any questions about saying Booze, tabloid, tabloid. You know we can't get into this." So she's screwed up too you know she she's no good She was not good from the get-go and I'd say the same thing that next what they're talking about there's gossip Bondi? Gossip yeah gossip. Gossip yes I heard I saw the gossip bondi Yeah bondi gotta go Everybody is up for being fired everybody is

1:03:14 Rubio. No, no not Rubio and Vance. He's got solid people where is Vance? Where is Vance? You know Vance is like a hit man he comes and goes. He hasn't done any hits. Any hits at all. He's around. Rubios... And then you've got your A-gay. He's also... Oh yeah Scott the gay general Patton Yeah he's talented. He's very talented Tina's like Is he gay? Hello. He has a handsome husband and they have handsome children, just saying. They look like a handsome couple together. Well you put good looking people together and their children come out beautiful. Hmm... let me see... how does that work? Okay

Host Health Update, Hospital Recovery Experience

One of the hosts provides an update on their recovery following major heart surgery, noting a recent complication involving a collapsed lung. The recovery process has been marked by sleep deprivation and a strict "no water" policy in the hospital, which has affected their vocal performance. Despite the setbacks, the host reports improvements in stamina and a return to broadcasting.

1:04:08 I got lots of stuff, but you so do you. And how are you feeling? If if you don't mind me asking how well I like a little health. So I still have not gotten normal sleep in and I'm short a couple hours today. Yeah, I'm kind of uh...I don't sound great though You sound better than you sounded Sunday for the first hour. You sound a lot better You said I livened up on Sunday, what was the deal? Yeah you'd livened up after the first hour. Then it's...I don't know, I think you pushed through some barrier with your voice because you sounded a bit like Soros. It was somewhere between Kissinger and Soros. We're not going to do that because it is not the way to do things So how do you feel in general

1:04:57 I feel terrible. Is there any improvement? Oh yeah, there's a lot of improvement. Some stamina improvements... It is a terrible thing to go through! No kidding! I should have a couple more horror stories. Yeah you don't have any... You know one element in the whole thing that was not discussed is during the procedure I had a collapsed lung. Now you, well you see now your memory is shot because we talked about that on the last show. Well nuts Yeah yeah nuts yeah nuts exactly So I got a lot of fluids, you know and they don't let me drink water so i'm kind of parched which doesn't help my voice. That's part of the problem by the way and um yeah...so I get this kind of thing. I kind of enjoy having that little bit but uh if I could do Alex Jones I think my Alex Jones is going to be a lot better than yours by the time I'm done

CHAPTER 24 / 47 Discussion

Hospital Food Mandate, Dr. Oz and HHS

The Department of Health and Human Services, alongside Dr. Oz, announced a new health and safety notice requiring hospitals to align their food purchases with federal dietary guidelines. Eligibility for Medicare and Medicaid payments will now be tied to these nutritional standards. While officials claim hospitals welcome the mandate to improve procurement, skeptics argue that institutional apathy and existing contracts with companies like Sysco will hinder real change.

dr. oz· hhs· medicare· medicaid· hospital food· dietary guidelines

1:05:57 Bronze unlikely. Yeah, I can do it. I can do it. I can do it. Hey everybody I could do it! That's unlikely We did we get did get some good news as Your health and Human Service Secretary along with Dr.. Oz It's the tag team the Maha Tag Team they heard your complaint The other announcement that were making today is a doctor Oz sent out of Health and Safety notice every hospital in this country at 11 o'clock this morning, asking them now to align their food purchases with the dietary guidelines in order to enjoy continued eligibility for Medicaid and Medicare payments.

1:06:44 We're going to bring all the hospitals in the country in line with good food, and this is not something that Bull crap. we can force hospitals to do they want it They want it! We have talked with them No they don't And this is gonna help them with their procurement companies The fact that its now essentially a federal mandate But again It's something the hospital wanted Its something that they needed No And we wanna do this very very quickly As Dr. Oz pointed out, food in hospitals is so uniformly sucky... We have one of our producers... You don't think this is going to happen? He said if you want Medicare money you've got a we gotta get brand name Jell-O! That's as far as it's gonna go. How do you know that?! Why are you so negative bro? Well a couple of things

1:07:47 Not that I'm very affable in the hospital. Never been in a hospital before, but I keep laughing. Affable? Yeah, I'm affable Like you're nice? Yeah Why don't get that on the show where's that? Where's that? I'm nice and also...I always have a one-liner. For the first couple of days they kept rotating people in and out And my one liner was always the same And someone would come in, the new shift nurse, this shifts sub-nurse that nurse aid practitioners or whoever. One after the other after they always check your pulse and do all this stuff and charge Medicare for doing it over and over and over. Every time they'd come in, they'd introduce themselves and say how are you doing? I'd always say I'm in the hospital!

1:08:39 And did they think that was funny the 20th time you did it? I thought it was funny. Yeah, that's good. If I didn't get a laugh at would stop doing it but I did it about, I'd say 100 times and so in the process, the food thing would come up into conversations and I bitched and moan about the food complaining that can't eat it and just you can't swallow it as like eating sand And so they say, well yeah it's not good. They'd all agree with me except one nurse who said oh no I think the food here is great you've never had the food at the VA

1:09:22 Oh yeah, you... your memory is shot. No I remember telling this story before. Now that i bring it up, I'm worried about you! They did something to your memory? The reason I'm telling this story is because you asked specifically why do I think this isn't going to happen And when she said that, which I've said it before. When she said that, I realized that institutionally it can't happen because they don't care and if you like the food from the VA there's a lack of care now we had one of our producers wrote along

1:10:00 Very nice note about how he took over a hospital and started actually turning it into a profit center. He took over the cafeteria because everything was canned, it was all from Cisco or worse and they didn't make anything there that couldn't even... They couldn't even slice a pat of butter you had to buy pre-cut I mean there was a nightmare and then he could do it says it's doable But once you... but it takes a maniac to do it. There's no impetus, no impetus whatsoever this is never gonna happen Well you heard it here first guy stays in the hospital once in his life and now he's an expert That's right I am believe me I studied the process

Charlie Kirk, Assassination Case Evidence

A new court filing in the alleged assassination attempt of Charlie Kirk reveals that the bullet recovered does not match the gun investigators seized. Prosecutors still maintain they have DNA evidence linking suspect Tyler Robinson to the September shooting at Utah Valley University. Legal experts note that matching shattered bullets from autopsies is often difficult, leading to skepticism about the ballistics evidence.

charlie kirk· tyler robinson· utah valley university· ballistics· jessica levinson· candace owens

1:10:48 Well, millions of experts around the world particularly in America... You know you can tell if you go into a company. You've done this! You can go into a company and you could see that corporate culture is no good and it's not gonna change? Well yeah, you're probably right. You're probably right. No that's too bad Unless you get a guy like that guy, our producer guy. Our producer? Our guys are... Yeah! Our guys know how to run a hospital cafeteria. But he gave up and went do something else make more money Exactly there you go our guys just want to make more money so back to other experts around the world particularly in the United States are rejoicing today if you're a ballistics expert you're rejoicing today we have breaking news

1:11:36 about the bullet that killed Charlie Kirk. There's a new court filing in the case of Charlie Kirk's alleged assassination. Lawyers for the man accused of short shooting Kirk say, the bullet doesn't match that gun investigators say was used in the crime. Prosecutors say beyond that bullet they have DNA evidence that connects Tyler Robinson to the shooting and happened back in September while Kirk spoke at events on the campus on Utah Valley University. Robinson's attorneys are asking to delay his preliminary hearing They want more time to review evidence. Robinson has not yet entered a plea, prosecutors intend to seek the death penalty CBS News legal contributor Jessica Levinson says this is not unusual. It is sometimes difficult to match bullets that were recovered at autopsy with bullets that are associated with a defendant's gun and that could be based on lack of evidence and lack of markings on those bullets

1:12:36 This makes it all very skeptical. The bullet shattered! Oh no, that by itself was not possible. No the bullet's gonna shatter as you're going through it's a 30-odd 6. Go right through them! Candace Owens shooting back to the top of the podcast charts on YouTube Is she really? People love her there are women here who are 4 p.m., I'm sorry I turned my phone on silent and watching Candice It's time for Candace. Yes, yes it is. I wonder if Candice Owens ever realized what a natural presenter she is? Oh she's very natural at it yeah she's very good She's nuts but she's very good at it Yeah she's nuts but she is very good So something really cool happened in the world of big tech and AI

CHAPTER 26 / 47 Discussion

Anthropic Claude Code, Source Code Leak

AI startup Anthropic accidentally leaked the entire source code for "Claude Code" via an npm release at 4:00 AM. The leak occurred because source maps were not stripped during the build process, which utilized the recently acquired Bunjs runtime. The leaked code revealed hidden features, including a "Tamagotchi-style" companion called Buddy and references to upcoming models like Opus 4.7 and Capybara.

anthropic· claude code· source code· bunjs· npm· ai agents

1:13:32 as anthropic, accidentally leaked the source code or public? Go ahead. I talked to JC about this, this morning to get it straightened out. Well should I play the clips and then you can give me- Yeah play the clip while I can back up? Oh yeah, sure. This is one of those YouTuber guys so...I'll just give you the synopsis they published a new version of Claude Code an application but the way they did it is they accidentally Yesterday, the most ironic thing ever happened. Anthropic, a $380 billion startup built on the idea of safety first that advocates for closed-source software for the supposed benefit of humanity — a company Elon calls misanthropic whose logo is definitely not a sphincter who's CEO has been warning us for years that human programmers will be replaced by AI in six months

1:14:27 It just accidentally leaked Claude Code's entire source code to the internet at 4am, officially making Anthropic more open than OpenAI. And he throws in the, whose logo does not at all look like a sphincter. And then you have to look at the logo and be like yeah, you're right it does look like a sphincter! So here's how it happened!" But how did this code end up leaked in the first place? Well as I mentioned, the source map was accidentally packaged in an npm release but that's weird because build tools normally strip out source maps automatically while Cloud Code is built on Bunjs

1:15:03 which as you might recall was recently acquired by Anthropic. And it just so happens that about three weeks ago, somebody opened up an issue on GitHub about bunjs serving source maps in production. Wouldn't it be ironic if the fastest JavaScript runtime in the world also turned out to be the fastest way to ship your entire code base to the internet? And so while that is all relatively interesting, I mean i'm not like running off to go fork the code. I don't know if I can do anything with it but no later than a few days after I said that this whole AI run these models locally... It's the new Tamagotchi? BOOM!

1:15:38 Like there's a hidden capability under the feature flag called Buddy, which appears to be a new Tamagotchi style companion that every developer can customize and raise like a little digital pet. This might just be Anthropic April Fools joke but they're also references to Opus 4.7 and a new model called Capybara which might be their recently teased Mythos model There's also things like ultra-plan, coordinator mode and demon mode. But perhaps the most interesting is kairos which is a Greek word for an exact moment in time or God's time I hate to beat off a dead horse here but it's ironic that Anthropic didn't get to reveal Kairos at the exact time it wanted too And instead god chose the right time

1:16:17 The feature itself seems to be some kind of background agent that keeps a daily journal, uses dream mode to consolidate memories and does work for you in the background on specific schedules. Pretty cool but at the end of day this leak is pretty huge setback for Anthropic which hopes to IPO later this year and offload their bags to retail public. And it's yet another reminder that your top secret application is just one npm publish away from becoming open source whether you like or not! So my takeaway is this is not really a big deal. It kind of shows that, you know it's all about the prompting and this is a big piece of code that they've refined for their prompting. The cloud code is quite fantastic I have to say the way it interacts with our model. Um...I don't think its gonna hurt them in any way what did JC have to say? He says this exaggerated. Its not there

Mercor AI Hack, Chinese Model Development

The AI training company Mercor reportedly suffered a massive hack, resulting in the release of proprietary data and expert training methods. There are concerns that Chinese entities will utilize this data to create compressed, highly efficient AI models. Meanwhile, individual users are increasingly running AI models locally on hardware like Raspberry Pis to avoid commercial subscriptions like 11 Labs.

mercor· ai training· open source· 11 labs· raspberry pi· china

1:17:11 pieces of what they're doing that were not broken out. He says there's a battle within the company, it puts some of this stuff open source anyway and it's possible they put it out there because they need to get some feedback and he basically said is bullshit and also distracting from the Mercure hack which is apparently a massive hack that these guys are doing AI training using experts. You should look into that and their stuff, all of it got released and it turns out they're breaking the law there's all kinds of vials. It's just a whole slew of problems for this company that's being nobody's talking about that and they're talking about this anthropic thing and it's not important. What is Merkur?

1:17:59 You gotta look it up. Well, so you can't tell me? I can tell you it's a company that... Mercor. Yeah M-E-R-C-O-R. They train AI using experts to train the... It is a completely different approach which is very effective and unfortunately it's all gone Well, this is not unfortunate. This is great! The more... It's great for me. The more this stuff is open source and we can run it at home the better I see it as fantastic and there's no stopping this. These Chinese models they keep coming out with... Oh, and by the way according to JC what would happen at Mercure or Mercore the Chinese will gobble up? Yes! And they'll make a compressed version of it stuff you know It's quite fascinating what you can do with this stuff at home

1:19:01 And that's where this whole bubble is going to pop. I'm not against these models, they're definitely good uses for them. I mean now I finally loaded that model the 11 labs voice. I have canceled my subscription. They lost me as a customer because I can run it at home on a Raspberry Pi with an old graphic GPU from NVIDIA and old one that someone gave to me You know, I'm not making ISOs with it. Don't worry." But still... Why should I worry? Because you know 11 labs is your go-to. I've moved on! And so now Oracle who are big in the data center game

CHAPTER 28 / 47 Discussion

Oracle Mass Layoffs, AI Infrastructure Shift

Oracle has begun laying off thousands of employees globally, with reports suggesting up to 30,000 jobs could be cut to fund the company's aggressive expansion into AI data centers. The layoffs have heavily impacted operations in India, where entire teams were reportedly terminated via email without prior notice. Analysts suggest the move is a strategy to free up approximately $10 billion in cash to service debt and invest in AI hardware.

oracle· layoffs· india· ai infrastructure· debt market· tech industry

1:19:50 They are doing whatever they can to keep raising money through debt, to keep building data centers which I think is a big mistake. I can confirm from two insiders that Oracle is laying off thousands of employees. Notifications were sent out today, it comes as the company continues to double down on its massive AI bet developing and leasing data centers across the country. As we know it's gone to the debt market to fund these bets now looking at another option by reducing its workforce as a way to drum up more cash. In fact, there was a TD Cowan report last month suggesting that 20-30 thousand layoffs would free up around 10 billion dollars

1:20:36 So I look into this story like who are they firing and why are they fine most these companies well you know AI is so efficient we don't need anymore we don't need programmers or just get read that's what everyone using now to as an excuse to unload employees but in Oracle's case i came across this clip Indian news source. It's kind of believable. Fire the Indians! Just days ago we told you that tech giant Oracle was planning mass layoffs and now that moment has arrived, Tech Giant Oracle Corporation has begun a mass round of layoffs across its global offices. Employees in the US India and other regions are reportedly receiving termination emails. Todi with many

1:21:18 informed that the same day would be their last working day. There was no prior notice, no HR call and no discussion with managers just a formal email from the company leadership while there is no official confirmation yet on this scale of layoffs post from individuals claiming to be affected or aware of the situation suggest that multiple teams in India may have been impacted some users alleged that entire team saw significant reductions while others claim that even managers were not informed in advance about who would be let go. Teams across multiple divisions, including key tech and operations units have reportedly seen significant job cuts with some teams losing nearly 30% of their workforce. Oracle's India operations including its development centers have also been impacted with employees across roles and levels affected

1:22:08 it. The company has offered severance packages but only after employees signed separation documents for India, the severance is expected to follow the standard n plus 2 formula while unvested stock benefits will not be paid reports suggest that this could be one of Oracle's biggest restructuring exercises with estimates indicating up to 30,000 job cuts globally. The move is being linked to the company's aggressive expansion into AI infrastructure which has significantly increased financial pressure." I think it's valid to say that you can get rid of a bunch of Indian programmers That seems pretty valid Yeah, get rid of them 20 thousand of them What's wrong Phoebe? Why are you barking? Okay, I have a few clips now Alright

Kid Rock, Army Apache Helicopter Flyby

Four U.S. Army pilots were briefly suspended after performing a low-level flyby over Kid Rock's Nashville home, where the singer was seen waving and saluting. Secretary Pete Hegseth quickly intervened to lift the suspensions, calling the pilots "patriots." The incident sparked a debate over the use of military resources for personal displays, with some comparing it to informal "flybys" performed by pilots for friends in other contexts.

kid rock· apache helicopters· us army· pete hegseth· nashville· flyby

1:22:54 Let's start with the Kid Rock clip. You heard about this, right? I've heard about it! Somehow was able to avoid it. Tonight the breaking headline after those US Army Apache attack helicopters hovered over Kid Rock's house The performer saluting them tonight what now happened to those army pilots let's get right to Martha Ravitz David, tonight a major reversal. Early today the Army said they had suspended the four crew members of those Apache attack helicopters which were seen in that video doing a low-level flyby in front of the home of singer Kid Rock in Nashville He could be seen waving and then saluting the crew. The army saying they take any allegations of unauthorized or unsafe flight operations very seriously. President Trump, who is a friend of Kid Rocks even said they probably shouldn't have been doing it you're not supposed to be playing games but shortly after the president made those comments Secretary Pete Hegseth set on X

1:23:50 the US Army pilots suspensions lifted. No punishment, no investigation carry on patriots he said and thanked Kid Rock. All right well I have some personal experience with this but your commentary is welcome. You know it was goofy they probably shouldn't do this stuff it's a waste of the taxpayers money so...I went to Iraq in 2003 And we were there with the Dutch Marines. We made one excursion, it was about a six hour drive to Basra base and that's where the Dutch heli detachment was and they were running all the Chinook helicopters. So we hung out without...we're doing documentary, we're filming, we're doing live radio show from Camp Smitty in Samoa province

1:24:43 And, and I it was known that I had my helicopter license. I was flying helicopters at the time in Holland. And so these guys like you know we'll fly you guys back now I cannot confirm or deny if they let me fly the helicopter to 150 foot above the deck but anyway... So you make friends! You know? You make friends- So you got to fly a Chinook?! I can't confirm or deny but yeah heck yeah You know how that works? It's the easiest helicopter to fly in the world because there is no torque. There is no counter-torque, because of the two rotors. Right! So you don't have to coordinate your feet with your lift up. Oh that's cool And so what they do is they have a GPS moving map display and they overlay a piece of plastic like when I was… for anyone who remembers the overhead projector... What was it called?

1:25:35 Was it called the overhead projector where you put the slides on? They were called overhead projectors. Thank you! The cellophane and those would be transparent foils, oh man we're... You got to go look that one up kids to see what we had before you had video projectors. We have a box of light And you put a foil on it that had drawings on it and letters, and would project up to a mirror. And the mirror would then project onto a screen or the wall. You move these foils back and forth. The good old days! They had one of those foils and they had a line on it. They said just follow the line. We had to go 150 feet

1:26:18 Because if you're any higher the RPGs could get to you. That's what they said so and I'm flying 150 this it was like a video game It was so easy, and then it's like okay You're gonna do 40 degrees right, 3-2-1. So did that anyway... Did the whole thing we landed at our base but we became friends and when I would fly from the castle ah! The days were good when i had money We'd fly from the castle up to Amsterdam because I had a helipad at the house oh man I miss having that Anyway spent it all burned in the air And I'd fly past the helicopter base

1:26:59 And so sometimes they'd come out with two Chinooks and they fly side by side, I'm in my little helicopter. Sometimes they say okay we're forcing you to land, we're forcing it have coffee okay and so I landed at the base but from time to time they would come over the house over the castle in Belgium with a Chinook that opened the loading bay door and then wave maybe waving incredibly destructive because plants were flying all over the place. Yeah, bad! Koi were flying out of the pond and it was fun and I was like this is not really wasting any money they're in the area they just fly by they go hey curry and they wave and they fly off so then you know that's why this is such a big scandal? I don't know

CHAPTER 30 / 47 Discussion

White House Ballroom, Military Bunker Construction

A federal court issued a stop-work order on President Trump's $400 million White House ballroom project, citing a lack of congressional approval. The project, which involved the controversial destruction of the East Wing, reportedly includes a massive underground military complex. While the administration has appealed the ruling, construction continues on "safety" related aspects of the site.

1:27:46 It's like, it's Kid Rock you know. Everything dates to Trump. Oh well yeah they hate Trump that is true. Which brings us to the other scandal and might as well get this one. The update on the ballroom. The troll room was like, You had coy? Ballroom Update! A new stop work order from a federal court on President Trump's passion project, the White House ballroom. That order halts construction unless Congress approves the plans. The administration quickly appealed. The president clearly frustrated. Basically saying I need congressional approval And he's so wrong.

1:28:35 The President of the United States is the steward of the White House for future generations of first families. He is not, however, the owner. The ballroom is never far from the president's mind publicly balancing his wartime duties and construction management. I'm so busy that I don't have time to do this but fighting wars and other things This is very important His vision gigantic with seating capacity for up to 1,000 guests. The cost swelling to $400 million dollars privately funded he says

1:29:12 buried below. The military is building a big complex under the ballroom This new legal fight spurred by that October surprise, the destruction of the East Wing and its century of history wreckage without the typical oversight. The federal judge writes the president went too far no statute comes close to giving the president the authority he claims to have And Kelly O'Donnell also live at the White House tonight for us. Kelly, construction continued today though? The judge does allow that they can finish up projects so that they don't leave the site unsafe Well, the president said the entire project is about safety and he suggested they can keep going I can't wait until this thing is finished...The Ballroom! I think Marco Rubio's gonna get the boys back together That would be good For a dance Put on a show For a little show Well there was a follow-up to this

1:30:05 Which was always, you know kind of half conspiracy half like well makes sense. And Carolyn Leavitt had to answer the question in the briefing room. Can you tell us more about this massive military complex underneath the president's new ballroom? I cannot tell you more about that actually as a matter of fact, however the military is making some upgrades to their facilities here at The White House and i'm not privy to provide any more details on that next time. Yeah! Massive upgrade upgrade you know what that means Under the White House, the military is already there. Yeah! With a bunker? Well I don't think that was a surprise was it? Well yeah...a little bit. Oh, kind of expected. The White House, the president lives there what's going on underneath in the basement? Important stuff. Have you not watched Paradise? Don't you know how this works? I love that show. It's probably one of those shows where you watch 30 seconds and go

Paradise TV Series, Underground Bunker Cities

The Hulu series "Paradise" depicts a world where Silicon Valley billionaires live in a massive underground city in Colorado following a global volcanic eruption and nuclear war. The show explores the divide between the "insiders" living in a simulated Truman Show-style environment and the survivors on the surface. The concept mirrors real-world speculation about elite survival bunkers.

paradise· hulu· bunkers· colorado· silicon valley· billionaires

1:31:10 It's on Hulu. The second season just I think the second season is almost over, isn't it? What's it about? Oh massive event, volcanic eruption and then everyone starts shooting off nukes at each other. And some Silicon Valley billionaires had built an entire underground city in a bunker in Colorado and the mountains and the presidents and these billionaires all go there. I don't know 20 thousand people and they live in a bit of what is it? What was that movie with Jim Carrey

1:31:49 Truman show. A bit of a Truman Show world where there's fake sky and they have, you know, they've got Waffle House and they all live their little lives but people on the outside survived And so then the people on the outside trying to get in the inside it just goes on from there But it sounds far-fetched Not really Oh you think? Hmm not really well I mean the whole World Underground was pretty elaborate, but it's a pretty good show. I mean you know what else we gonna watch well exactly Chinese television like you to learn how to speak Chinese? How is that working Mandarin Mandarin yeah also Yeah, so yourself okay, so have you heard the Matt Gaetz stuff no All right well now you're gonna hear it good

Matt Gaetz, Alien Hybrid Breeding Claims

Representative Matt Gaetz claimed that a uniformed member of the U.S. Army briefed him on "hybrid breeding programs" involving captured aliens and humans. Gaetz also referenced the testimony of whistleblower David Grush regarding "non-human biologics" recovered from crashed craft. Skeptics point out that Grush has a history in the film industry, leading to questions about the validity of the claims.

matt gaetz· david grush· aliens· biologics· cia· hybrid breeding

1:32:47 Matt Gaetz on aliens. I think the most important information will be the biologics that are not human, that have been discovered and like even some of the briefings that aren't classified just need to be out in the public. I mean i had someone come and brief me who was in a military uniform worked for the United States Army there was briefing me on the locations hybrid breeding programs where captured aliens were breeding with humans to create some hybrid race that could engage in intergalactic communication. An actual uniformed member of the United States Army brief me on that." What the eff is going on? Look, wait a second you had whistleblowers tell you this kind of thing do you please unpack that? This is a four minute clip we're playing the whole thing

1:33:32 Oh, I thought i broke it into two. Well you tell me when to stop there is a number 2 that's 30 seconds Stop it there and play number two What do you mean non-human biologics? Well, that was the testimony of David Grush before the House Oversight Committee which I joined. And the testimony was that in crashes of craft that had been recovered by the CIA and through a special program that the CIA had for crash recovery... That it wasn't just hard materials It was also biologics but they couldn't

1:34:10 identify a human source of those biologics. Nah, David Grush... Isn't he the guy that makes alien movies? Let me check, I'm pretty sure that's the guy. Yeah he says he is a whistleblower but hasn't he been working making movies for over a decade? The whole thing is sketchy It is and look I flew to go meet an alien one time!

Steven Spielberg, Disclosure Movie and Crop Circles

Director Steven Spielberg is reportedly working on a new film titled "Disclosure," following a year of increased public interest in UFOs and "Age of Disclosure" documentaries. The project has revived interest in classic paranormal phenomena like crop circles. A trailer for the film has sparked online discussion, including bizarre theories about the physical appearance of actors in the footage.

1:35:16 So you have a lot of stuff and you are also a big believer in spraying water into gasoline.

Peter Duke, Spielberg and Pentagon Ties

Former Hollywood showrunner Peter Duke claimed on the Ripple Effect podcast that Steven Spielberg has long worked in coordination with the Pentagon. Duke, who worked at the Shoah Foundation, noted Spielberg's specific rules regarding titles, such as forbidding the term "Creative Director" because he believes creativity is a gift from God. Duke suggests Spielberg's film projects are often "dictated" as part of broader social engineering efforts.

peter duke· steven spielberg· pentagon· social engineering· shoah foundation· creative director

1:38:32 There's this hack, this guy, it was a hack. It wasn't really a hack but there's this guy Peter Duke who has been a show runner and he's been in Hollywood forever and he is on the Ripple Effect podcast if you haven't heard of that one. That's a popular podcast! It is very popular I think its well done. You know they hate Jews and standard stuff. It's your go to! That kind of thing What's your podcast about? We hate Jews, you know stuff like that. That's our podcast! It's simple doesn't take a lot of effort so they had this guy on talking trash about Spielberg and I thought it would got interesting if you think the first minute and a half you play this Peter Duke ripple effect if you play the first minute in half he claims

1:39:27 with some justification that Spielberg has always worked for the Pentagon. Oh yeah, it wouldn't surprise me. Let's play this on the show Mr Grove He did a great documentary, still one of probably my favorite documentaries and one I recommend quite often. A State of Mind is Psychology Of Control which really goes into the whole history of social engineering and how far back it goes in these techniques have been used over and over again to control the masses. I guess when you talk about that it kind of highlights what you're saying in regards to design guys movement got a lot of shit from religious people Peter Joseph but I think we're not things he was trying to highlight in this first film was

1:40:08 the fact that you can use religion to control the masses, right? He was kind of opening up talking about all these techniques to control the masses from false flags and these events that spark emotion and empathy and revenge. And then use that like September 11th to go into Iraq and Afghanistan or you use spirituality, religion, scripture this higher power idea to convince you that you're doing something for the greater good. So yeah, these are all techniques that control people. Somebody else we brought up quite a bit and I wanted your thoughts on it because its complete left turn but I'm kind of curious. You talked about Steven Spielberg

1:40:47 What do you think of his new movie Disclosure, or Disclosure Day? There's a lot of conversations about why he is doing a movie like this. I know people say that he has always been fascinated with the topic Do you think it is just him being fascinated with the topic Or is there more reason for the timing? No, no! I think Steven Spielberg is part of The Pentagon And that And he's very good at what he does. I mean, one of the things that they're very good at are the Office of Net Assessments, I think goes out and assesses people right? And I think that Steven Spielberg was assessed as very competent at what he does because he is very competent at what he does and it's funny because when I worked at The Shoal Foundation Institute my title had been in every other company that I worked at creative director but I wasn't allowed to have that title

1:41:38 And i wasn't allowed to have that title because steven doesn't believe that creativity is human he believes it's a gift from god and you can be design director but you can't be creative director which i was that was. So he's very specific about words, but now that I'm so specific about words. I totally understand where he's coming from But I've had several friends who were personal assistants to Steven Spielberg in different capacities But like in the room with him every day You know following him around taking notes getting stuff done one of my friends told me that he was working at Amblin and

1:42:16 which was down the drive, I was at stage 35 which doesn't exist to this day but in the 1990's when i was working on a lot of Universal. Yeah yeah yeah. When I worked for Joel Schumacher... Well, wait. You can stop it there but you have to let this finish because he has a really good story in the producer's building which is next to what they call the black tower in front of the studio This is the problem He's doing his shaggy dog Hold on People out there who do If you're going to start doing podcasts Mimi does this You get to the point, he's getting to the point but all of a sudden now he is talking about this and that. He is roaming away, shaggy-dogging the thing It's annoying So do you want me to shuttle forward? No no keep putting out...

CHAPTER 35 / 47 Discussion

Amblin Entertainment, Studio Social Engineering

A story from the Universal Studios backlot describes how Steven Spielberg would dictate nine annual projects to his staff at Amblin Entertainment after meeting with unnamed "read-in" officials. This top-down approach to filmmaking is framed as a method for social engineering and propaganda. The segment also speculates that OpenAI's "Sora" video technology was restricted to prevent the public from creating their own high-level propaganda movies.

amblin entertainment· lew wasserman· universal studios· sora· openai· propaganda

1:43:05 Now that I've warned everybody, they can put up with it. When I worked at GameWorks, I worked on stage 35 which was an old sitcom stage. Was my helicopter story too shaggy dog? I didn't think that was too shaggy dog... No no not at all when you do Shaggy Dog believe me you noted my displeasure Yes yes It was in the back lot close to where they have all of the outdoor scenes sets And it's just down the drive. The reason I was on that stage is because it was just down the driveway from Amblin and Amblin is a building that Lou Wasserman built for Steven Spielberg after, I think Jaws came out

1:43:46 Lew Wasserman didn't want Steven Spielberg to ever leave Universal and he basically built him a little palace on the back lot at Universal, which is still there to this day. So my friend who worked at Amblin told me that they used to ask the same question that I asked when I worked in the producers building which is how do they decide what movies are going to make? And he told me about an event that happened where Steven went and was gone for a couple of weeks, met with some people. He didn't go into any details about who the people were but at one point Steven called into the office and they had all hands meeting and everybody came into the conference room

1:44:30 And everybody at Amblin came into a conference room with their yellow legal pads and their pens. And Stephen was on the speakerphone, and he told them what the nine projects were that they were going to do that year. He just dictated them out. We're gonna make a movie about this. We're gonna make a movie about that. We're gonna make it happen television series about this we're gonna make a television series about that. And everybody got there marching orders. And then they went in, made those movies and made those TV shows So that story to me makes me think, well he was getting read in. You know? He was meeting with the Tavistock people or... The Tavistock people you mean the trans people? No. Let it finish it's almost done. You know this literally five and a half minutes you owe me. That's why I said you had to break it up by hand. He gets his marching orders from

1:45:25 and they tell him this is what you're gonna go make. These are the movies and the TV shows that you're going to make." Why don't you just go on that podcast? I mean, you're playing a podcast on a podcast! Yeah okay so the point he's trying to make which you won't let it finish... Nooo, I'll let him finish I think that's the way it works. I think that's the same way it worked with Chris Carter and the same way that works with Mark Burnett, and with Sam Ismail... And all of the other showrunners who is the guy who did Buffy The Vampire Slayer These people get marching orders Oh! I get it The Jews? And they march Not the Jews Yes! Yeah he's talking about this He's talking about Slo Mo and Weisenheimer and all those guys

1:46:13 These, how did these things get... who picks what and how? You know Brunetti I sent him this clip and he was it had no pushback on it. He said that he was offered to go just one of these meetings and given marching orders is just he's Brunetti so no I'm not going But this isn't surprising Is this surprising to you? Well a little bit for guy like Spielberg Oh! No he's the top guy Think of all the movies he's done that have been important for social engineering. Absolutely! Oh no, it doesn't... In fact I think this is why OpenAI had to shut down Sora It was like you can't do that We can't have everybody psy-opping everybody else with movies You gotta shut that stuff down and what did they do? Oh look we got a great camera for you Hollywood

US-Iran Meme War, AI Propaganda Videos

The White House and the Iranian regime are engaged in an online "war of memes," using AI-generated content and edited movie clips to troll each other. The U.S. has posted videos combining airstrike footage with Spongebob Squarepants, while Iran has produced animations depicting Western leaders as Lego figures. These deepfake videos and AI memes are blurring the lines between real military events and digital propaganda.

propaganda· memes· ai· iran· spongebob squarepants· deepfakes

1:47:10 I'm convinced of it. You've got to stop that, we can't have people making their own propaganda movies... In fact i got a clip here where's this from? This is from Global the Canadian guys and they're talking about the propaganda which is done with AI by both Iran or Iranian actors and America or American actors or Jews! The propaganda war over Iran has taken a strange turn The White House and the Iranian regime are trolling each other online in a war of memes, posting videos like these on their official social media channels. It started with the White House posting videos of real air strikes on Iran edited together with clips from American action movies and video games even Spongebob Squarepants

1:48:00 You wanna see me do it again? With captions such as, Justice the American Way and Wake Up Daddy's Home. This obscene focus on lethality in a celebration of violence this focus on a gaming culture where victims have vanished from moral consideration is an utterly immoral. Tehran is now firing back By the time a satellite finds me I'm already gone The regime's propaganda studio producing these animations Many depicting Lego figures of the US president, Israeli Prime Minister and the devil plotting attacks on Iran to distract from the Epstein scandal. A lot of this stuff would seem silly if it wasn't obviously such a serious situation. Is this actually effective? I mean i think its effective in functioning as rallying cries we are talking about content that's been viewed

1:48:53 in the billions. What started as a propaganda war between the American and Iranian governments has now spiraled into an online free-for-all, with other apparently ordinary users deploying AI technology to produce not only memes but deepfake videos of the war This video purports to show an Iranian attack on the US Navy in the Strait of Hormuz Well, this one claims to show Israel's airport being struck by an Iranian missile. Both are fake. The use of AI is just shedding doubt everywhere so it's making things more believable but it's also making things not believable in the sense that anything and everything can be edited or fully AI generated This parallel information war is blurring the lines between real and fake

1:49:46 So this is the real issue at hand. And the video stuff, yeah... Movies is definitely the way to go. Remember, the CIA was all over the Moscow Music Peace Festival and I didn't even know it at that time! Other than I got interviewed by some dudes who came into my manager's office and said, oh you're going to Russia. Stay away from hookers they're all KGB stay at the hotel you don't want to go anywhere else you want to be careful but as it turns out that was you know, listening to the Winds of Change podcast. That whole thing was a psy-op to get kids to get ready to bust out when the wall came down and they... we all know that it was David Hasselhoff who premeditated that but the real psyops is social media

DARPA Social Network Experiments, AI Bot Campaigns

Historical claims suggest DARPA experimented with social networks as early as the CompuServe era to study human manipulation. Modern researchers warn that networks of "AI agents" can now coordinate disinformation campaigns that are much harder to detect than traditional bots. These agents can simulate real conversations and plan strategies together to shift public opinion during elections.

darpa· steve pachinik· ai agents· disinformation· x· bots

1:50:42 And if we believe him or not, here's a blast from the past. Steve Pachinik... Ah! We haven't talked about him in a long time. Is this recent? No no no this is from back in the day when we were still talking. Steve Pachinik was quite explicit and telling me that DARPA had been experimenting with social networks now probably not the way we have them today But online social networks, probably more along the lines of news groups. Stuff like that and maybe even America Online and the CB Simulator to see how... The CB Simulator? The CB Simulator! How though that was CompuServe. How you could manipulate people and how you could have multiple actors online talking for and against each other

1:51:34 And the social media networks of today are a goldmine. It's just a gold mine for this type of operation, I see it all the time on my ex account and you'll see people who are saying things... bots! I'm convinced 70% of them are bots And they'll be commenting on, you go look at them. You know no followers numbers in the name account from 2016 like okay yeah that makes sense and this was This was the subject of a bit here on Deutsche Welle. What looks like real online debate during elections could be AI. Researchers warn that networks of AI agents might coordinate disinformation campaigns during elections, flooding social media with propaganda autonomously and at scale. In a recent study scientists tested this on a simulated social platform similar to X

1:52:31 They created 50 AI agents, some acted as regular users and others as operators with the goal of promoting a fictional candidate. They tested three scenarios – agents with just a goal, agent who knew their teammates and agents that could plan strategies together The key result? Simply knowing who was on the same team was enough to create coordinated behavior almost as effective as planning together What followed looked like real online conversations, different opinions replies and growing support around one message. This is very different from traditional bot campaigns. Older bots follow simple scripts post this retweet that which makes them easier to detect but AI agent systems behave more like real users even though this was just a simulation the implications are real such systems could shape public opinion and increase division in the elections to come

1:53:26 And they may be way harder to detect because it's not just about what individual accounts post, but how networks of accounts act together. And whether platforms can keep up is still unclear. I'm convinced this is taking place! Oh you don't have to be convinced? Yeah and none if its good Well how different is that... What's the difference between that and having like in Russia or Ukraine or wherever a a building full of people on the computer acting as one with marching orders, say 500 people making an extra amount of money. And all they do is post all day? It's cheaper! You think it's cheaper? I think the AI is cheaper yeah

1:54:19 It's a lot cheaper. But it's the same thing, yeah? But you know they can do it 24-7 they can micro target stupid podcasters. Let's get after that curry. Yeah let's do that he gets all worked up and he does a voice I'm telling you somebody said that to ya What? No, I know people say that all the time. When people email me read this in your libtard voice That's what i'm not gonna read okay that's not how it works Anyway no psyops here And with that I want to thank you for your courage saying good morning to you The man who put the C in the cockeyed bazongas Say hello my friend on the other end The one and only Mr John Cena

Producer Contributions, Episode Artwork and Health

The show's production relies on "time, talent, and treasure" from its audience, including clip collection by Steve Jones and AI-generated episode artwork. One host discusses the physical challenges of recovering from a heart attack, including the necessity of using a walker to prevent falls that could reopen the sternum. The community's artistic contributions, such as "totem pole" themed art, are highlighted as a key part of the show's identity.

clip collector· steve jones· ai art· heart attack· walker· recovery

1:59:17 So the way we do it is value for value. We give you all the value, and it's everything! We put it all out there. All of the value that we have a lot of work goes into this show. John came loaded for bear. Did you get some clips from the clip collector? From Steve Jones? I have yes because I encouraged him to do that and he was helping me out. Yeah I saw those. I noticed. I have to organize, get together with him so he uses my... Your system? My system. Your naming system yes. So now the clip collector is making decisions over which clips they give me and which clips they give you. That's nice! The way i see it, he gave half of the clips to you

2:00:05 Actually more than half. He gave me a lot of clips he did and you did very nice Well, this is life so that's one of the ways You can return value we consider everybody who's listening to the show not to be a fan or audience Or listener your producer This is something we do it all together So your job is to help us produce And you can do that by returning value in one of the three T ways time talent or treasure That's all we asked for So, helping produce clips, boots on the ground reports or we have artwork which we always appreciate people doing their best to

2:00:45 come up with some prompts that make it funny. Now, the episode 1855 which you did on Sunday was titled Gooder there's no way we couldn't use that and this piece of art a lot of people came in with good or arts good or art pieces and totem poles totem poles were big hit for some reason yeah I got a note from one of our producers You're full of crap! The totem poles aren't only in Washington and And BC, we have them in Alaska. It's the same basic group of Indians First Nations people all right yeah whatever so Dan I'm just old enough and having had a heart attack I can say what I want you know you could have you ever tried this on your kids? You giving me a heart attack! I mean you should try that like it's still too late now because you're giving me another hot attack

2:01:39 Dan obgyn4 is the one we chose. We like this one, it had a lot in it. It had John's Order of the Red Heart and had a microphone at 33s, would look to me like a Mac Plus baked into it and then Curry Dvorak totems behind it The whole thing was good. The clouds no agenda Do you think this was completely AI or did he do some work to it? I think it's completely AI. Well, it was dynamite. It was dynamite, I tell you! But he nailed it? He did. Let's take a look at some of the other pieces that people sent in as submissions... He had another version of this which wasn't quite his style

2:02:26 compelling. With this, with like this that looked like Super Mario Brothers I didn't quite like that one the one I kind of we don't do our faces i did like Scaramanga's version of you with tats and a white T-shirt and you had a you know bandana and on the wall it says no agenda is gooder I kinda liked that one that was kinda cool but we don't really like using our faces or likenesses Can we explain why? No, I don't. You've forgotten? I've forgotten why. Is it a copyright violation?

2:03:03 No. The first three or four years of the show, every single piece of art was just the two of us in various poses. Oh yeah It was us every... and it was getting to the point where it was like no-no-no We got sick of ourselves! We were sick of ourselves! And we banned it. We said no more pictures of us because there's at least a thousand. And people still do it they don't know about the ban apparently Yeah, no it's banned. Yeah it's banned and but Comicstreetblogger keep doing the butts you know you're not going to get chosen but it's always fun we can say oh... You did point out that Comicstreetblogger nailed your walker on his piece here

2:03:49 Yeah. With the hand brakes? How you doing with that thing, are you getting around it? I only use it when I'm out... You know when I'm out... Here's the reason you have to have it. When your out hitting on a lady! Hey ladies hey girls Because you had your chest ripped open and you're and you have the breastplate everything has to heal if they glue it back together and staple it knows it takes like months and months to get it to the point where it's secure.

Little John's Candies, Post Office Media Mail Dispute

A shipment of "Little John's Candies" and "Gigawatt Coffee" was received, though one host is currently restricted from consuming them due to health reasons. A separate delivery of "artisan pool water" sent via "Media Mail" caused a confrontation at the post office, as the USPS clerk identified the shipment as a violation of the discounted rate. The hosts urge listeners not to "rip off" the post office when sending items.

2:04:30 you have to be taken back to the emergency room and they're gonna, they're gonna have to put your... It breaks it open. Yeah we don't want that so that's why you have this loose and I only use it outside if I have to walk around and I can walk pretty fast but as not the walking is not the problem it's just the accident of the possibility of a trip and in fact they tell you this at the hospital if you fall within within the next four months You don't know, don't let anyone try to pick you up. Call 911 that's the nature of it if that doesn't drive you grabbing one of these devices nothing will okay all right well there you go another more horrors yes horse more horse no one nobody wants super bad because Tina went to the P O box and she got our little John's candies collab with Eli the coffee guy gigawatt

2:05:25 Which you can't have either, you can't have chocolate or coffee. Right. Oh man that stuff is so good! Yeah I know it's what everyone says. And has little cherries in there... And they sent us some chocolate Easter bunnies. Also, who's the joker who sent us the pool water? Did you get a box of pool water?" I did not get a box of pool water." So it's artisan pool water that are like metal kind of aluminum bottles. It seems like a novelty thing. It's just water. From the swimming pool? Well...it's called pool water so yeah that's kinda- it's funny but they sent

2:06:05 in a box marked media mail, which I believe is intended for stuff of like media. Like photographs... Yeah it's a discount. Well right and so Tina picks it up. I wish I was there the Pakistani lady got in her face you're stealing from me! Tina's like what are you talking about? You're stealing this is stealing from the post office is stealing from me And she's like, well this is I didn't order this. Someone sent it to me. Well next time i send it back or I charge you! She got really mad about it and it seems that well but it's from one of my husband's millions of listeners. Well I don't care about him what does he podcaster? I go away so... Don't do that people. Don't rip off the post office they got they got mad at us the recipients not supposed to do yeah not supposed to do that I guess I didn't know

Yes, of course! You don't want your kids to be nut jobs like the rest out there?

2:10:36 The lifeline the show became during COVID also stands out in my experience. The show jargon, jingles, isos mixes and inside jokes are a constant source of entertainment and make me feel like I'm part of something special." You are! But my favorite story arc in the time I've been listening to is witnessing Adam's faith conversion. What a testimony! Anyway ZZZZ...I am beyond thrilled that I will- I don't know what that means Anyways. Okay, I'm beyond thrilled that I have a chance to celebrate the 11th anniversary of my 33rd birthday this year by attending my first meetup with my sister and fellow human resources in Fredericksburg.

John's Tip of the Day, Moroccan Olive Oil

The "Tip of the Day" focuses on the health benefits of Moroccan olive oil, specifically the "Atlas" brand, which is high in heart-healthy polyphenols. The host reveals they are in the final stages of completing the "Dvorak Family Cookbook," which will incorporate a previously planned book on vinegar. The cookbook aims to promote the idea that "the family that cooks together stays together."

2:30:45 Before we get to John's fabulous tip of the day, I got a couple ISOs to go through. I see you only have one? I have four so why don't I try mine? What's that? Blame my one! Your one?! I have an appointment with anywhere but here That's actually not bad. It's not bad. I have an appointment with anywhere but here Okay, well here is what i have Amazing to think that they're on top of this thing Call back ISO Everybody who loses gets a podcast Okay maybe It was great Yeah it's classic and then This is so good Alright ill let you decide

Or that or The Trump Well The Trump is kind of classic Everybody who loses gets a podcast I kinda like...I kinda like that one Alright go for it Alright we'll go for that one In the meantime stand back It's time for John's Tip Of The Day Great advice For You And Me Just A Tip With JCB And sometimes Adam So you know we had the tip about the honey, Manuka Honey. Yeah sure. The one honey in the world that's got a composition deep within the honey that is somewhat different than all other honeys? Well it turns out and I probably would have known about this years ago, I probably wouldn't of had the heart attack. It turns out that

2:32:32 Chris is going to dramatize that. Yeah, right keep going. There's an olive oil that has... there's a one spot in the world that makes an olive oil whose composition includes a lot of polyphenols that are healthy for the heart and anti-inflammatory, that are part and parcel of the oil itself. And you can go all over the world... Everybody should note that olive oil is not just from Italy or Greece or Spain. Most South American countries make it, and I always recommend trying it because you have different flavor profiles. California has terrific olive oil by the way

2:33:10 and France has terrific olive oil, but this health-oriented olive oil which is also cheap because nobody knows about it. It comes from a kind of lower income area. It's from Morocco so it's Morocco olive oil and the one I've been using is Atlas which is available on Amazon for a liter for 24 bucks rather medium priced not expensive at all But Moroccan olive oil. You can do a little research and you'll find out about it So is this so I've heard correct me if i'm wrong that you are Indeed in the final completion stages of a cookbook yeah, and Family cookbook oh, it's the family cookbook and I understand that

2:34:03 that you are folding the vinegar book into the family cookbook. So I, and I understand that somebody in the family obviously tipped you off to humiliate me to get back to work. And will you be including some olive oil tips in this family cookbook? Oh there's a whole chapter on olive oil yeah. Do we have a name for this cookbook yet? The Dvorak Family Cookbook What what no one can pronounce that they'll be like I want that cook. Okay? Well you come up with a good name And we're gonna use it the family that cooks together stays together There's some truth to that No agenda fun calm tip of the day net
