About this episode

The Trump administration has launched Operation Economic Fury, a total naval and financial blockade against Iran led by Treasury Secretary Scott Besant and Senator Bill Hagerty. The Pentagon is deploying a third aircraft carrier group and Marine units to enforce maritime boarding operations in the Strait of Hormuz, while the U.S. Treasury issues secondary sanctions warnings to Chinese banks. This maximum pressure campaign aims to sever all Iranian revenue streams, effectively treating financial restrictions as kinetic warfare.

00:00 When will it end? Adam Curry, John C. DeVora It's Thursday April 16th 2026 This is your award winning Kid Von Nation Media Assassination Episode 1816! This is no agenda Day 47 of the Iran War And we're broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region Number 6. In the morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry! Yeah and from the refinery row where we all know that sitting in a chair and doing Tai Chi will not make you ripped...I am John C. Dvorak. How you feeling? You sound up and ready today. Yeah, I had a couple of liters removed from my chest from the cavity below the lungs it gives me a little more sonorous qualities to my voice and i expect to have more liquid removed. Can you turn off your fan? You got a fan on...I can tell! Um..i heard you talking on

01:10 DH unplugged show which I had Andrew go back and re-edit you got out of sync somehow. Oh He was he was laughing about stuff You had said five seconds earlier, and then it was the tracks got out of sync somehow But anyway three and a half liters of goop out of your body Well that wasn't in a week Yeah, actually I was going to have some fluid buildup underneath the in the lung cavity. Which happens apparently with people who have these ridiculous operations and so I go and I have a liter-and-a-half removed last week and they go back

02:01 And it filled up again. Two liters! What, but what is this stuff? It's some sort of...it's like a weird looking uh...It's not heavy liquid goo. No. It's like watery and Kind of reddish Red and man, and it's like no shocker to these to the guy doing that thoracentesis. Oh It has a term Thor. Yeah, that was a stick they put this thing up for they stick them They stick a pipe in you and then they suck this stuff out hold on a second I got to ask The Book of Knowledge about this book of knowledge what is a Thor us and teethus? Santeethus

02:43 I don't think i said that right. Let's see if the book of knowledge... No, you did! Oh, I did? Okay here we go He is having trouble looking it up According to the book of knowledge, no specific entity named Thoracantitus exists in the Chronicles of Knowledge. I didn't say it right... Hold on! Why don't you say it? What's a thoracentesis? It's out of control! This thing is no good?! No, it's just uh.. no, it's not good. You're right let me see. Is it done? It's stuck. Anyway, thoracentesis... I can't say it! Thoracentesis... Say it! Thora-centesis. Thoracentesis What is thoracentesis? Let me try that No, it can't... This stupid book of knowledge is like thoracentesis?! No, I'm not even gonna listen to it Anyway Failed So what did they do with this liquid

03:52 What? What do they do with the liquid, they just toss it. They burn it! Burn it?! That's what I'm told... because Jay wanted to take it home for plant food Yeah exactly It is probably the same as placenta or something you know it's probably good for... No. Wait, its illegal? You can't take your own liquid on? I don't know, there are rules Rules So I have to go on a tomorrow and have another one-and-a-half liters extracted from the other side. Oh man! Yeah I know it's just wild. Luckily, the good news is the guy doing it is notorious for being gentle

04:43 Yet gentle, but he's it's like you don't even know if she was going on. It's he's really good Now I think Andrew asks us can they just put a port in so you can just tap it yourself? It looked like the way it's going to say doesn't stop filling up well this end man When will it end? Well, you know the whole recovery process is eight weeks for this particular operation. So I'm only on...I'm just getting to six. No you're just getting started. Wow! You sound good. I like that. That makes me happy. Makes me happy Let me get us rolling here because we have a change that's going on By the way, I see the president on the quad screen On the lawn. On the lawn. Wow

CHAPTER 02 / 52 Discussion

Iran War Economic Blockade and Maximum Pressure Campaign

Senator Bill Hagerty discusses a shift in strategy regarding the Iran war, moving toward a total economic blockade. The Trump administration is implementing a maximum pressure campaign intended to cut off all Iranian revenue streams. Hagerty contrasts this approach with previous administrations, emphasizing that Vice President J.D. Vance and the economic team are delivering a firm message to Tehran.

iran· donald trump· bill hagerty· jd vance· economic blockade

05:30 He must have his golf guys do that lawn, the White House lawn. It looks like a putting green." I can see that yeah. It's really pretty! You know with all these golf courses i'm sure he has groundskeepers that are dynamite. He's got to so... I was listening to The Money Honey she had Senator Bill Hagerty on And it looks like we're moving towards a new tactic in the Iran war. Senator, what are your thoughts on this blockade? How does this play out? You heard President Trump's comments to me yesterday. Well I think what the Iranians are seeing is a very different negotiating style. You remember last time they sat down and talked about nuclear arsenal and nuclear ambitions with the US president that was under Obama.

06:17 Their negotiator, the Iranian negotiator walked out of the room and John Kerry chased him out of the room. I forgot about that! They broke... The Obama administration broke and gave them everything they wanted in terms of being able to pursue their nuclear ambitions President Trump has made it clear that he will not do that The Iranians tried that old play again It didn't work this weekend J.D. Vance stood strong I think the Iranians are saying its a different play now And President Trump is doubling back on them and shutting them down blockading the Iranians and cutting off all revenue at this point. I think they're realizing this is a very different game, and i'll be anxious to see how JD's latest and final offer is received by the Iranians. Yeah, I mean, I'm just wondering if the next front in this war is largely economic? Look what happened to the Iranian economy!

07:02 Right? And you know, I mean of course the military has been decimated. But when you even... You know, I'm so disappointed in everybody still using decimated Do we give up on that as being just an incorrect usage of the term? Or do we have to give up on it and it just means...? Why should we give up on it? Well because everyone says decimated well did they just remove 10% Or was it 90%? I guess. And you know the funny thing is we're not the only two guys harping on this We're not?! No, I've heard other people complain. I thought we were the last of the Mohicans on this? I think there's others. Economy right and you know I mean of course the military has been decimated but when you even with the price of oil where it is... The president told me yesterday he's going to continue this maximum pressure campaign

07:58 I think it's entirely appropriate to do that. It worked last time, we were almost there in the first Trump administration you and i've talked about before my job was to get the Japanese government to stop buying Iranian crude oil when I was US ambassador to Japan That happened all over the world And again John Kerry inserted himself and suggested to the Iranians they should wait and see what would happen in 2020 election Again, Biden comes in opens up all the spigots money starts flowing to Iran and they're back in the terrorism business. President Trump is not going to allow this. The Iranians need to get the message and I think after this weekend Vice President Vance Steve Woodcock Jerry Kushner had delivered that message loud and clear so yesterday was tax day And uh the press secretary had um Scott Besant our treasury secretary there to speak

CHAPTER 03 / 52 Discussion

Operation Economic Fury and Secondary Sanctions on Iran

Treasury Secretary Scott Besant announces Operation Economic Fury, a coordinated effort to block payments to the Iranian state and target IRGC accounts. The United States is prepared to apply secondary sanctions against countries and companies that continue to purchase Iranian oil or hold Iranian funds in their banks. This financial strategy is described as the economic equivalent of kinetic military activities.

08:42 And it turned very quickly from Tax Day to Gay General Patent Strikes Again Day. I'm really honored to be standing here today on tax day with two esteemed members of the President's cabinet and his excellent economic team, Treasury Secretary Scott Besant and Small Business Administrator Kelly Loeffler As we have seen this tax season, President Trump's working families' tax cuts have put a historic amount of money back into the pockets of the American people this year. All right so first question... Do you feel like United States is getting enough support from allies on that front? There was a letter that went to Oman and some other allies suggesting maybe

09:21 The sanctions weren't, this could be for Secretary Busby's book. But the sanctions basically weren't having the effect that the United States wanted? I'll let the Treasury secretary who is in charge of sanctions answer that question Yeah, I think that's not a correct characterization. Yesterday we announced Operation Economic Fury and we... Operation Economic Fury? Ah! Here we go. We go from Epic Fury to Economic Fury. Yesterday we announced Operation Economic Fury And we, for over a year we have had maximum pressure on the Iranians both on blocking payments into the Iranian state and going after the accounts of the IRGC. One of what may prove to be fatal mistakes that the Iranians made was bombing their GCC neighbors who are now willing to be much more transparent in terms of the funds

10:21 So we have pushed out to them, the more funds of the leadership, of the IRGC and any members of Iranian leadership. The other thing that we have done is we have told companies... We have told countries that if you are buying Iranian oil, that if Iranian money is sitting in your banks, we are now willing to apply secondary sanctions Which is a very stern measure and the Iranians should know that this is going to be the financial equivalent of what we saw in the kinetic activities. Oh The kinetic kinetic activities are very stern He does everything so well, and then he says it's a very stern very stern measure So with this

US Reinsurance Program for Strait of Hormuz Shipping

The U.S. government has expanded its reinsurance program to $40 billion through the Development Finance Corporation (DFC) to support tankers sailing through the Strait of Hormuz. This program aims to normalize insurance rates that skyrocketed at Lloyds of London due to the conflict. Officials state the U.S. government intends to make a profit on these insurance premiums while encouraging continued maritime trade.

11:20 Operation Economic Fury comes the reiteration of the reinsurance and insurance from the United States government and their financial partners. Any updates on the US reinsurance program for ships and tankers sailing through the Strait of Hormuz? Well it's now up to 40 billion, it's run through the DFC We are waiting for the ships to be able to get some semblance of normality and then they can come to the DFC and our private sector partners, and request the insurance. I'm going to tell private shipping companies out there right now nervous about this whole thing saying you know wondering if they should even get near the street

12:06 What's that? We need to encourage shipping companies to do business through the Strait. Well, I think we're going to have to wait and see when they are permanently open because this is a mechanism when we declare that it is safe they also have to have insurance. Lloyd of London had skyrocketing insurance during the time. The rates are still very high, so we want to provide...the US government will make a profit on this but we want to provide a more normalized level and an economically sound basis for ships to move in and out of the Gulf as they did before the start of the conflict. Wait! What? What does he mean we're gonna make a profit? Oh yeah, we're gonna make a profit on it's insurance you got to make profit on insurance

US Treasury Warnings to Chinese Banks Regarding Iranian Oil

The U.S. Treasury Department has sent formal letters to two unidentified Chinese banks warning of secondary sanctions if they continue to facilitate Iranian money flows. China currently purchases approximately 90% of Iran's oil exports, accounting for 8% of China's total energy needs. The U.S. blockade in the Straits is expected to cause a significant pause in these transactions.

china· us treasury· sanctions· iranian oil· banking

12:53 We'll make a profit. Yeah, but just not the Lloyds of London we priced them out of the market and final clip here Where he's not messing around and as we know it's about China I don't have an update on the terrorists, but I do have an update via own sanctions Iran is the used to be the largest state sponsor of terrorism China was purchasing more than 90% of their oil Which is about 8 percent of China's energy needs We believe this blockade in the Straits there will be a pause of Chinese buying But I will tell you that

13:29 Two Chinese banks received the letters from the US Treasury. I'm not going to identify the banks, but we told them that if we can prove that there is Iranian money flowing through your accounts then we are willing to put on secondary sanctions. So very stern...I'm sending letters But it's kind of cool. I mean, all of this financial stuff which Besant is doing could have been done at any time by any Treasury Secretary because we know how all the money flows and for the first time not only are we seeing someone do it but also talk about it so... Let's play these clips on China's calls for no U.S. blockade

CHAPTER 06 / 52 Discussion

China Criticizes US Blockade of Iranian Ports

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun labeled the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports as dangerous and irresponsible. China argues that the action undermines ceasefire agreements and exacerbates regional tensions. The Chinese government is calling for a comprehensive end to hostilities to restore normal navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.

china· guo jiakun· strait of hormuz· blockade· diplomacy

14:18 We begin with the impact of the continuing blockades in the Strait of Hormuz. As calls grow for Iran to reopen the strait, there has also been widespread criticism of the decision by the US to blockade Iran's Gulf ports in Oman and the Indian Ocean The Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun called the action dangerous and irresponsible and said it would only exacerbate tensions and undermine the already fragile ceasefire agreement China believes that only by achieving a comprehensive ceasefire and end of hostilities can conditions be fundamentally created to ease the situations in the strait. We urge all parties to abide with the ceasefire agreement, focus on the overall direction of dialogue and negotiations take concrete actions to promote de-escalation and restore normal navigation in the strait as soon as possible

15:13 Yeah, it seems to me that China is not happy with this. No I wouldn't be either although 10% of their oil comes from this area From Iran alone but you know they're buying Saudi oil and other stuff too yeah of course Of course But this...I don't think it's about the actual oil It's about how you're buying it You know That could be Are you paying for it in dollars? In Yuan? In Euros? Wampum That can be the only thing that Trump cares about at this point. And possibly... Well, maybe. Well what else could he care about? If I look at the futures contracts because for some reason CNBC is showing me that when i go to their website so in June it looks like the futures contracts are down in the 80's So the market somehow believes this is coming to an end It's just China has just as we said they got to pay retail

European Leaders Visit Beijing Amid Global Instability

Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez of Spain visited Beijing to meet with President Xi Jinping, joining a string of Western leaders seeking deals with China. Sanchez urged China to take a larger role in maintaining international order, while President Xi positioned China as a stable global power compared to the U.S. Despite these diplomatic overtures, analysts suggest China's leverage over Iran remains limited due to its non-interference policy.

xi jinping· pedro sanchez· spain· china· international order

16:13 That's it. That is the only thing that this is about at this point. Yeah, they don't like that! They want best price. Well yeah, it's not going to happen. Shall we play the second clip? Many of the tankers that have made it through the Brzyz shipping channel since the start of the conflict more than six weeks ago have been bound for China with the details here our China correspondent Laura Becker China's foreign ministry has once again called for a ceasefire and for restraint on all sides, and for safe passage of all ships through the Strait of Hormuz during its regular briefing today. It is my understanding that it has been reported that China is trying to work behind the scenes to push Tehran towards the negotiating table but these words come against a back

16:58 backdrop of yet another foreign leader, this time the Prime Minister of Spain visiting Beijing. In the last few months alone we've had leaders from Britain, Germany, Finland and Canada all here trying to do a deal with China and when it comes to Spain, the most vocal critic in Europe against US and Israeli actions in Iran has been Pedro Sanchez and he did so again. Today when he met with President Xi, he pushed China to take a bigger role on the world stage and push for international order. For his part President Xi said that chaos abounds and that the international order was crumbling.

17:42 All of this comes as President Xi is positioning himself against the US, as a stable power. A stable global power that is peaceful and able to be a beacon of stability in the world. And I think when it comes to the likes of peace talks Beijing wants to stay on the sidelines, it won't want to wade too far into any kind of conflict. It does have this policy of non-interference so its leverage over Iran is limited. The guy from Spain, the Spanish have sold out to the Chinese. They don't even... if you go to a flea market there last time I was there which wasn't that long ago. 1980? When were you last in Spain?! Well it was during the show era so it wasn't that long ago but

Anecdote Regarding New York Banker and Austin Visit

A host recalls a 2010 encounter in Austin with a former New York banker who claimed victory over British banks. The anecdote serves as a reflection on past financial predictions and the cyclical nature of banking power dynamics.

18:51 But the point is even as long ago as it was I was told by the locals that everything all of The handmade goods and the lace and all this stuff you can buy at the flea market. He's also from China Oh Chinese, well You know we got a we got the president got a warning about this many years ago around Was that 2010 2012? Exactly I, you know...I just see this as when the president says we won it just reminds me of the former New York banker. This has got to be 2010 and he was walking around Austin saying we won! We beat the British banks and we couldn't really understand it but it feels like this is another one those bank wins that somehow it's you know that the dollar

UAE and World Liberty Financial Crypto Deal

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is reportedly freezing billions in Iranian-linked assets while simultaneously investing in the Trump family's crypto venture. Sheikh Tanun bin Zayed Al Nahyan purchased a 49% stake in World Liberty Financial for $500 million just before the presidential inauguration. Following this deal, the Trump administration approved the sale of advanced American AI chips to the UAE.

uae· world liberty financial· donald trump· sheikh tanun bin zayed al nahyan· crypto

19:43 He told you this at the same time he told you Goldman was a bad, it's going down? No that came many years later. Hey even A Broken Clock is once right once day once wrong yeah whatever I'll make a This will probably my last time I'll do it But I'll make another case for stablecoin being the gamut here for the Trump administration And it was very hard to get only have a couple of clips It's very hard to get clips about this but the UAE was one of these payment network portals for Iran to get their payment in whatever currency they were getting it in and then to switcheroo into dollars and flow it into banks in London, hedge funds. And this has changed... I'm just going to presume that Gay General Patten told UAE

20:40 Stop it. Now, reports suggest that UAE is exploring freezing billions of dollars in Iranian linked assets tied to these networks. This effectively targets the financial arteries that allowed Iran to stay liquid despite international sanctions. What emerges is a tale of two parallel financial systems one fading the other rapidly taking shape. The first system, the Dubai backdoor relied on dollar-based transaction proximity to global finance and access to swift linked infrastructure but

21:24 But that same system is now under pressure. Visa cancellation, asset freezes and institutional closure are dismantling the ecosystem that has sustained it At the same time a second system is now emerging This one is central around the Strait of Hormuz particularly Iran's strategic position near Larak Island Here Iran is developing a Yuan-based trade route bypassing the dollar entirely Transactions are expected to move through China's cross-border interbank payment system offering an alternative to the SWIFT. The model is simple, control the choke point and control the flow. So that SIPS which is C I P S that's the Chinese counterpart to SWIFT And so thats what Indian news thinks they'll move too

22:09 But the UAE was interesting that they shut down this whole payment rail or network from Iran because this report which came out, this is probably a year ago says something interesting about the shake of UAE. The bombshell report in The Wall Street Journal describing an unparalleled deal with a foreign leader directly benefiting the president and his children to the tune of tens of millions of dollars Hi Donald, John Trump. Just days before Trump's second inauguration the journal reports 49% nearly half of the trump family crypto company world liberty financial was purchased for 500 million dollars by Sheikh Tanun bin Zayed Al Mayan who heads the United Arab Emirates state investment fund and serves as national security advisor sometimes referred to as The Spy Sheikh

22:59 The deal confirmed in a statement from World Liberty Financial to ABC News, and unlike any business transaction connected to a sitting president before sparking a firestorm of conflict of interest concerns. The journal reporting the Trump family earned an upfront payment of an estimated 187 million in the deal with another 31 million reportedly going to the family of Trump's Middle East envoy Steve Whitkoff also involved in the crypto company Months later, the Trump administration approved something that Sheikh and others in the UAE long coveted. The sale of hundreds of thousands of cutting-edge American artificial intelligence chips to that country

23:36 So that would just be so typical Trump to have his kids set up the payment rail, USD1 I think is what it is. And then before we go and attack anything you guys sell it to this guy over here get your money upfront don't worry about the back end that'll all take care of itself. You know that kind of thing doesn't look good? Yeah well it doesn't look good but that may be the way to go and you know who bought Couple hundred, I think it was a couple of billion or million. Let me see... Of this USD 1 dollar peg stable coin? China's guys! Pakistan! Pakistan has announced a new agreement that combines digital finance and diplomacy This comes at the time when its relationship with the United States is showing signs of improvement

CHAPTER 10 / 52 Discussion

Pakistan Adopts USD1 Stablecoin for Cross-Border Payments

Pakistan has signed an agreement with World Liberty Financial to explore using the dollar-pegged stablecoin USD1 for international remittances and payments. The partnership involves Pakistan's central bank integrating the digital token into its regulated payment system to reduce cash usage. This move aligns with more crypto-friendly policies introduced under the Trump administration.

Let me see... Of this USD 1 dollar peg stable coin? China's guys! Pakistan! Pakistan has announced a new agreement that combines digital finance and diplomacy This comes at the time when its relationship with the United States is showing signs of improvement

24:27 Pakistan has signed an agreement with a company connected to World Liberty Financial, which is a crypto finance platform linked to the family of US President Donald Trump. This agreement will explore the use of a dollar-pegged stablecoin for cross border payments including remittances According to reports, World Liberty Financial will work with Pakistan's central bank to integrate its stablecoin called USD1 into a regulated digital payment system. This would allow the stablecoin to function alongside Pakistan's own digital currency plans which are currently under development. This is remember one of the first publicly reported cases of a sovereign country exploring a partnership with World Liberty Financial

25:11 a platform that was launched only in September 2024. Pakistan is expected to formally announce this agreement during a visit by World Liberty Financial CEO, Zak Whitcoff to Islamabad Pakistan's finance ministry and the central bank have not yet made official statements on the details of this deal. However, the country has been actively looking at digital currency projects to reduce cash usage and make international payments faster and cheaper Reminders and overseas payments are a major source of foreign exchange for Pakistan's economy. Remember, including remittances. Stablecoins which are digital tokens tied to the value of the US dollar are increasingly being seen as a possible solution for cross-border transactions

25:59 This development comes at a time when Washington introduced more crypto friendly policies under Donald Trump encouraging the growth of stable coins and digital finance companies. You know, I still can't pull it all together but it just seems so coincidental. Yeah we're getting closer It seems coincidental We've got Pakistan where were doing the negotiations their China's front you know front men We've got the UAE and no tolls, no tolls! No tolls. Just run it through our stuff we need that it...we're down to what 57% of the world's global reserve currency? Down from 70 plus percent? Yeah speeding fast yeah we don't want it to be the one... No you have to pay our bills if that happens Say what?!

US Military Deployment and Naval Boarding Operations

The Pentagon is deploying a third aircraft carrier group and a Marine Corps unit to the Middle East to enforce the naval blockade against Iran. Military officials indicate that Marines and Navy SEALs may begin boarding vessels to ensure compliance with the blockade. While no boardings were reported on the first day, the option remains a primary tactical objective for the U.S. forces.

pentagon· aircraft carrier· marines· navy seals· blockade

26:53 We have to pay our bills. Don't want that. There's 35 trillion in debt Yeah, yeah there is no good I thought it was 39 Oh, it's probably yeah. It was 35. Yes. Yeah, it keeps going out since your open heart surgery is gone up 4 trillion you must have missed that I guess yeah could be I was out oh man I had this clip about the blockade that I thought was interesting because it brought in some details that we haven't did no one's discussed which NPR blockade details ah got Thousands more US troops are heading to the Middle East, according to U.S. officials. We've reached the halfway point of this ceasefire in the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran and the Trump administration wants to dial up the pressure on Tehran. On Monday, the U.S. began a naval blockade to try to get Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz. Iran responded with threats to block all imports and exports from the Persian Gulf, Oman

27:53 and the Red Sea. Dan Lamothe covers the US military and the Pentagon for The Washington Post, and he joins us with the latest. Welcome back, Dan! Sure, thank you. So tell us more about a number of kinds of U.S. forces that the Pentagon is sending to the Middle East? Sure, I think most importantly we will have a third aircraft carrier group which includes both the carrier but also a number of destroyers traveling with it. Even at the height of operations in the last month or so there was only two They're actually, they're moving to a spot where they haven't been in some years with three carriers in the Middle East. In addition to that you've got a Marine Corps unit that's also moving in which would give them the ability to notionally do more boardings and if the Trump administration decides to go there actually put Marines on the ground

28:47 So right now, their primary objective is to do boarding. I love how just hmmm no follow-up there just hmmmm In addition to that you've got a Marine Corps unit thats also moving in which would give them the ability to notionally do more boardings and if the Trump administration decides to go there actually put Marines on the ground. Hmm so right now their primary objective is to do boarding? Boarding vessels? Is that what they'll be doing It's at least an option. We didn't see any boardings in the first day of the blockade yesterday, but typically that is a way that a blockade is enforced as you would actually put either Navy SEALS or Marines or potentially even a Coast Guard boarding team on these vessels You can do that with permission of the other captain Or you can do it by force if you decide its necessary

29:41 What do you think is going on? You think that doesn't seem I don't think we're gonna go well on land. They just start boarding these ships they're having already having a I got two other clips show me this show me your stable coin I mean Things it seems like a lot of work yeah, but then you have this issue with the spoofing going on oh With the the transponders Yeah, I see where's your spoofing tankers? Here we go. So was there any attempt to intercept these tankers a question for our security correspondent Frank Gardner? I don't think there was they may well have been discussions radio two ways over the airwaves that we don't know about but it's quite significant this because this was supposed to be a total blockade of

In fact, if its entire coastline including Shah Bahar down further to the east but two of those ships left Iran's ports of Bushehr in one case and Bandar-e-Mam Khamenei in the other so either the U.S didn't know about it or chose to let them go for some reason Now it may be, some are suggesting that these vessels had used something called spoofing. So every ship has something called an AIS, an automatic identifier system It's basically a transponder that tells people where it is and you can spoof that by trying to pretend that you're somewhere that you're not I mean for those of us who've done time covering the Israel-Palestine conflict for example

CHAPTER 12 / 52 Discussion

Tanker Spoofing and AIS Transponder Manipulation

Several Iran-linked tankers reportedly bypassed the U.S. blockade by using spoofing techniques to manipulate their Automatic Identifier System (AIS) transponders. By sending false coordinates, these ships can appear to be in different locations than their actual positions. The hosts discuss the difference between GPS jamming and transponder spoofing in the context of modern maritime evasion.

29:41 What do you think is going on? You think that doesn't seem I don't think we're gonna go well on land. They just start boarding these ships they're having already having a I got two other clips show me this show me your stable coin I mean Things it seems like a lot of work yeah, but then you have this issue with the spoofing going on oh With the the transponders Yeah, I see where's your spoofing tankers? Here we go. So was there any attempt to intercept these tankers a question for our security correspondent Frank Gardner? I don't think there was they may well have been discussions radio two ways over the airwaves that we don't know about but it's quite significant this because this was supposed to be a total blockade of

30:30 by the US of Iran's Gulf ports. In fact, if its entire coastline including Shah Bahar down further to the east but two of those ships left Iran's ports of Bushehr in one case and Bandar-e-Mam Khamenei in the other so either the U.S didn't know about it or chose to let them go for some reason Now it may be, some are suggesting that these vessels had used something called spoofing.

31:23 I found that i might be in the middle of Israel and my phone is telling me I'm in Beirut. So these things happen sometimes now it may be that, that's what behind it but either way there is clearly an inconsistency here in this blockade." Very poor explanation of spoofing! It's two different things... There's GPS jamming which I think he's talking about And then they're spoofing, which is very simple to do. You just have your transponder send different coordinates That's why all these people who have the YouTube channels and look at where the ships are I don't believe it for a second. I think we don't... Breaking nobody knows nothing

32:05 But I agree, I'm pretty sure we're blocking and we're blocking. And you know, I think we've let some Chinese ships go through but who cares? We want people to have their oil. We just don't want them to be paying in anything but dollars. I don't see any other reason for doing this at this point if that wasn't the reason to begin with And that's been a traditional reason for doing stuff like this. Yeah, you know... That's what happened to poor Gaddafi! Do we have the We Came? We Saw? We... He died. We called that Lady MacDeth I think wasn't that the uh let me see lady

False Flag Tankers and Hillary Clinton Gadaffi Reference

Maritime analysts are tracking "falsely flagged" tankers that have breached the U.S. blockade to transport Iranian petroleum products. The discussion briefly references Hillary Clinton's 2011 comments regarding the death of Muammar Gaddafi. One specific vessel, the Rich Starry, was noted for turning around after transiting the Gulf of Oman.

hillary clinton· libya· false flag· tankers· maritime analysis

32:45 Lady MacDuff. Yeah, here she is this is when Hillary Clinton learned that Gaddafi had been killed and not just killed but in a horrible manner. So I mean that is the land of unconfirmed... Yes we came we saw he died! Did it have anything to do with your visit? No, I'm sure it did. We got him yeah ghoul ghouls all right The only thing I have about this situation is the false flag US sanctioned BBC clip. Meanwhile a number of tankers have passed through the Strait of Hormuz in what would appear to be a direct challenge to the U.S. blockade which began on Monday, BBC analysis suggests four Iran-linked ships were on the move Michelle Fiza Bachman is a senior maritime analyst at Windward and has been tracking some of the ships in the region

33:45 I'm tracking three vessels with particular interest at the moment. Two of them are falsely flagged US sanctioned tankers that have called it Iran ports, one of them laden with Iranian petroleum products Both were outbound transits breaching the blockade. One of them reached international waters when it reached the Gulf of Oman, hasn't signalled in six hours The other one, Rich Starry also as I said falsely flagged that literally transited through the Gulf of Oman and has now turned around at the same time there was another bulk carrier that was signalling It had called it around previously that transited last night

34:25 It reached outbound, reached the Gulf of Oman. Once it got into international waters we haven't seen its signal for 12 hours so this is a developing situation but really interesting. Falsely flagged... Is that the genesis or the... No. Of a false flag now? No I'm sure there's no connection Well, what's kind of interesting for the world stage I saw this...I didn't get a chance to clip anything but just before the show. But we're running out of fluoride put in the water to dumb our slaves down with. Yeah, I heard that! So that's kind of a big loss there. A benefit although Europe is losing its mind particularly the Irish and

Irish Farmer Protests Over Fuel Caps and Costs

Farmers in Ireland have blocked major highways, including routes to Dublin, using tractors to protest rising fuel costs and a 25-liter cap on diesel purchases. Protesters have criticized the government of Taoiseach Simon Harris, accusing officials of holding the country to ransom. The demonstrations are part of a broader wave of discontent regarding the economic impact of the Middle East conflict on European agriculture.

ireland· dublin· fuel protests· farmers· diesel prices

35:19 and the Scots now, and the people are getting pretty angry. A shaky ceasefire between Washington and Tehran at the moment but the consequences of the US-Israeli war on Iran are still being felt across the world The surge in fuel prices caused by the USA's aggression have led to nationwide protests in Ireland Farmers took to the streets in their tractors for the fourth day in a row They blocked key roads across the country, including a major highway linked to the capital Dublin. The jam brought traffic to a crawl For days fuel has been limited to Ireland. Some areas have put a 25-litre cap

35:59 for customers and this has caused long queues to form outside patrol pumps and exacerbated the jams. The farmers have been protesting because they feel the rise of fuel costs put their livelihoods at risk. Yeah, so they can't get diesel they can operate or the prices are too high I mean Irish...I think you want to be careful when they get mad RTE, I got one of these protesters. They're pretty feisty! I think this protest could continue on maybe for another week? Maybe two weeks if it takes a month we are prepared to sit here if it takes to close the country down will close the country down because that's what it takes for me Hall Martin and the Taoiseach and the Taunush Simon Harris We are prepared to do that

36:56 And we have numbers growing and growing every day, day in day. I can tell you this problem is not going away and the only people who can put this to bed is the government. It's upto the goverment! How dare they come out and say that these people are protesting? Are holding the country to ransom?! It's the government that is holding this country to ransom. Not the protesters, not the people The people that should have a voice and they're stopping them having a voice So thats my message to government Save our economy Do the sensible thing The proper thing We are the men That are in power And we are the men who can come out here and sort out this problem so come out her

37:41 Be men and gentlemen, and sort this problem out. Don't be sitting back in armchairs sitting out here looking at us and laughing as because we will take the laugh off of your faces so listen to us! We want answers... What? We will take the laugh off your faces I tell you Be men and gentlemen, and sort this problem out. Don't be sitting back in armchairs sitting out here looking at us and laughing as because we will take the laugh off of your faces so listen to us! We want answers and we want clarification on what our requests are demands So please come out here and talk to us. Yes this has to do with fuel petrol diesel but this is the ongoing

European Energy Crisis and Climate Regulation Backlash

The ongoing conflict in the Middle East has triggered a widespread energy crisis across the European Union, leading to fuel shortages and business disruptions. Critics argue that the EU's focus on climate regulations and renewable energy has left the continent vulnerable to supply chain shocks. There is speculation that the Trump administration is maintaining economic pressure to force a reevaluation of European energy policies.

european union· climate change· renewables· energy crisis· supply chain

38:26 European Union war against all farmers in all countries, France the Netherlands everybody's pissed off at their government mainly for climate regulations. So now they've got something and now okay we're just gonna block everything and it is going to spread. And as we mentioned many of these petrol stations are still dry how did the situation in Ireland get to this point? Well, what we're watching here Paolo is not just in Ireland but other parts of Europe let alone other areas of the world are experiencing the ripple effects of the disruption caused in the Middle East with short supplies.

39:12 of products and in this particular case the way that it has impact consumption at gas stations and allowing businesses to operate, and so on. Prices have gone up supplies are limited and unrestricted and on the heels of other economic worries and concerns. These have essentially come to a head to protest around this particular issue, but I think they have to be framed in a kind of broader way of expressing their discontent with the way that cost-of-living matters are being handled there

39:50 Do you think that other countries around the world, as you point out are feeling those trickle down effects of the ongoing war can look at the current situation in Ireland and basically see it as a preview of what could happen as this war continues indefinitely? Yes, 100%. And throughout Europe not just the European Union but that's just one particular place we're seeing lines at petrol stations. We're seeing businesses struggle to make ends meet as they are experiencing higher costs when it comes to

40:28 distribution of products. So by all means, the longer this conflict goes on, the longer the chain of delivery is disrupted and this is going to play out and we know that this is not just a simple short term solution it is far easier to disrupt the global market than it is to restore it into some kind of official functioning order And I wouldn't put it past Trump to keep this squeeze going To affect the European Union So that maybe the people will finally wake up and say, you know all of this climate change stuff. That seems those got us in kind of a hard spot and all the renewables and the windmills in the North Sea is that doing? Yeah no good at all. And here's Queen Ursula's response herself All we have to do is

CHAPTER 16 / 52 Discussion

Ursula von der Leyen and European Energy Demand Reduction

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has proposed reducing energy demand through efficiency measures and building renovations as a solution to the fuel crisis. The hosts discuss the historical use of Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) in Europe and criticize the current practice of flaring off natural gas in Texas due to a lack of infrastructure.

ursula von der leyen· energy efficiency· lpg· natural gas· lockdowns

41:20 Use less. The third element is how can we reduce the demand? Because of course, the least expensive energy is the energy that is not used Stop traveling! Stay home! Lockdowns! We should reduce demand while fully respecting the free choice of consumers. If you want to, okay but we suggest you stay home! So we are looking at energy efficiency levels such as renovation of buildings or the renewal of equipment in industrial operations These are some measures, but there are also other measures that we will present. Stay home! It will be the core of the presentation of the communication next week on the table of leaders I'm already excited about the presentation on the table of leaders it's going to be a hootenanny stay home don't drive you know ma'am i think we've talked about this but i remember in the 70s even into the 80s You could go to a gas station in Holland

42:21 And there were guys who would open up their trunk and they would have a liquid petroleum gas tank. And that's what they drove on, and it was pennies to the Euros or the guilders at the time people were using for gasoline I think that was a great system Well... What happened to it? Oh! I'm sure got weaseled out by the oil companies They said we're not making enough money on that stuff is too cheap I had a Saab that ran on that I had a Saab 99, i think. And it ran on LPG. Gosh that's long time ago! So there was a lot of LPG cars in California for awhile and they were given free passes across the bridge The thing is if I talk to the oil baron... I mean the gas is so cheap In the US or Australia Gas is like

43:21 $30 a cubic whatever, a cubic thingamabob. And here in the US it's three dollars now there's no way to transport it out of Texas so they burn it They're just...they're flaring it off What a waste I mean I would drive on LPG Why are they flaring it off? There is nowhere It's too cheap to send it anywhere They can't make any money on transit, there are no pipelines And so, you know... They got storage tanks. Yeah but then how do you it's the price needs to be higher they can't make any money on storing it. It's seven bucks here ship it us! What? LPG. Oh I'm talking about natural gas yeah LPG

Irish Parliament Debates Government Responsibility for Fuel Crisis

Members of the Irish Parliament are debating whether the domestic fuel crisis is the fault of the Trump administration or local government policies. Opposition members argue that the Irish government, not Donald Trump, is responsible for carbon taxes and excise duties that have burdened citizens. Calls for a new election have intensified as 900,000 people remain on housing and medical waiting lists.

ireland· sean canney· healy raye· carbon tax· irish parliament

44:11 So the only out these guys have is some Bitcoin miners who put miners on premises and use that, use the gas to charge generators to run on. But I mean that seems like a... That's better than electric cars! I'd totally go for LPG Anyway it's all Trumps fault Trump did it all everyone's blaming Trump Here is the opposition in the Irish Parliament saying hey Stop blaming Trump. They've blamed Trump for absolutely everything we've heard government get up and stand about Trump

44:48 Donald Trump isn't in charge of Nora. He's not in charge of the carbon tax in this country, he is not in charge of that in this country and he's not in charge of excise What did Sean Canney do? He said go out and walk or go out and cycle What did big Jim James Bond himself go out and do? He said we'll turn the army on our own citizens which is reminiscent of something you would hear in South America It is reminiscent of a piranhas And then we have the man who turned away from the woman in Kentucky not so long ago but during this election and we didn't want to hear. And all of a sudden he's gaslighting the country saying he is concerned, he is concerned about the 900 thousand people on waiting lists all of a sudden! He's concerned about

45:31 thousand people on housing lists. He's concerned about the hundred and sixteen thousand people that are waiting for HAP. That is what this government is concerned about, you're concerned about nothing only serving yourselves and I applaud Deputy Healey Raye and say well done to him for having a bit of backbone backbone and if those that turned up at the protests down in Whitegate or anywhere else in the country, in Fianna Fail and Fine Gael have turned up there and said we're witchy lads I'm going to get rid of me haul in a couple of weeks. If any of you have any bit of backbone join with Healy Ray and vote against this government and let's call the election! Yeah so he's coming down to elections now like that guy yeah oh there's a couple of guys in Irish Parliament they're on fire

European Jet Fuel Shortage and Flight Cancellations

The International Energy Agency warns that Europe has only approximately six weeks of jet fuel remaining due to the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. This shortage is expected to lead to widespread flight cancellations between major European cities. Experts note that even if the straits were opened immediately, the refining and transport turnaround would take at least 60 days to replenish supplies.

jet fuel· international energy agency· aviation· refineries· europe

46:17 I like him a lot. So last clip about Europe and this is somewhat concerning Tina and I are supposed to go over to Holland to visit Christina on May 6 for five or six days, I will continue to do the show of course I hope we can fly back. We are... This is the executive director of the International Energy Agency in Europe. We are, in Europe, maybe six weeks or so jet fuel left If we are not able to open this straight up for us if the refinery as a result will start to work I can tell you soon

46:59 we will hear the news that some of the flights from city A to city B might be canceled as a result of lack of jet fuel. So two big problems, first high prices and second availability of gas, availability of the jet fuel diesel and others. Yeah you're gonna be stranded I hope not It's just, you know we complain here about high gasolina prices for our vehicles but we've got the screws on everybody right now. Everybody! Yeah if they run out it's gonna... They open the straits uh there still because of the slow boats that'll take a while these are giant tanks it's at least 55 days to get to a refiner and then you have the refining turnaround uh it'd be 60 days

48:01 Past if you ran out of jet fuel to be another 60 days of having no jet fuel Plus whatever other turnaround issues there There are but do you think people now finally see that none of this green stuff is going to work? It never would and that it was at this. This can be the only point of doing this I don't think it was Well, that would be very foresight. There's too much foresight involved I like the idea That is to make a point about yeah green being useless But I think it was just a coincidence hmm Maybe just staying in Europe for a second as we had actual regime change take place

Viktor Orban Defeated in Hungarian Election Landslide

Hungary's long-time leader Viktor Orban was defeated in a landslide election by center-right rival Peter Modiar, ending 16 years in power. While Orban was backed by the Trump administration, Modiar campaigned on restoring democratic checks and balances and improving relations with the EU. Following the result, the Hungarian currency surged to a four-year high against the euro.

hungary· viktor orban· peter modiar· election· european union

48:48 Oh yeah, this should be the top of the news. And I think this is being underplayed by the media. Well they're playing it but they're playing it like oh Trump's boy is out! An election upset in Europe that is sending political shockwaves across the continent Hungary's far-right nationalist leader Viktor Orban was defeated Far right nationalist Nationalist, yeah. I don't know how far right he was he just wasn't taking any of the bullcrap from the EU. Far-right nationalist leader Viktor Orban was defeated in an election yesterday this brings to an end his 16 years in office or bond was heavily backed by the Trump administration but he lost to his center-right rival Peter Modi are in a landslide

49:36 It's a result that could have major implications for the European Union. How do they measure this far right center-right left or right? Right, okay and the Ukraine war NBC News international correspondent Molly Hunter joins us now with more on this Somali Orban was embraced by the far-right globally including here in America Well critics say under his leadership Hungary is no longer considered a full democracy He conceded last night following a Yeah, it's not a full democracy so they vote him out. Give me a break! Don't you love that? He was a dictator basically... It is no longer considered a full democracy What does that mean? I have questions what does that mean is no longer considered a full democracy? I don't know, full of shit? ...Hungary he's no longer considered a full democracy he conceded last night following a pretty resounding defeat what's he saying what's been the reaction in Hungary

50:30 Yeah, Joe resounding defeat is definitely an understatement. It was a landslide as you said now he did last night with about 98% of the votes in it was a very short speech but he said the results were quote clear now Joe this was a dirty campaign both sides kind of hurling insults leaking sensitive information about the other but it was a landslide as you say the kind of victory that could mean real change could come to that country another reaction from voters we've been watching kind of all the agency, all the local TV feeds come in overnight and people were out partying into the wee hours last night. Party! The majority voters voted for Peter Mojar who we're celebrating and most to the voters who were interviewed that we listened too said that their vote was driven by Hungary's relationship with Russia for further proof this morning Joe the currency in Hungary surged this morning to a four-year high against the euro so good news for a lot of Hungarians this morning Good news yes So they bring in Russia

EU Moves Toward Qualified Majority Voting After Orban Exit

With the removal of Viktor Orban, who frequently used his veto power, the European Commission is pushing to move toward "qualified majority voting" for foreign policy decisions. Ursula von der Leyen praised the Hungarian people for "reclaiming their European path," signaling a shift that would allow the EU to bypass individual member state blockages.

ursula von der leyen· hungary· veto power· foreign policy· brussels

51:24 Whereas it was the United States who were backing them, if anything. J.D. Vance went there... another loss for JD Vance. JD Vance went there to try and strengthen the position of Orban and Mali continues here. So Mali I mean what do we know about the incoming Prime Minister Peter Modiar? He's not a liberal he leads a center-right party so what could this mean for the EU? What could it mean for the Ukraine war? Yeah, a real reality check I think for people around the world who are celebrating this or looking at the headlines with some relief. He is a staunch conservative he was part of Orban's party for many many years but what he has said is that he will restore checks and balances. He will restore democratic systems that were eroded over the last 16 years and the most important thing that is ringing through European capitals this morning he has said that he will approach the EU with an outstretched hand now

52:12 in Brussels, a massive sigh of relief. We have heard from Ursula von der Leyen and the President of the European Commission this morning Joe. And she says that as a country reclaims its European path, the Union grows stronger and it is not just a symbolic win but win for EU member states, Joe. A lot of major decisions require all 27 member states to sign off. Orban has basically wielded a veto and so there's a lot of kind of hopefulness that actually Peter Moggiar may actually kind of become more involved and be more open to some of the member state bloc's decisions. Yeah this is why they had to do regime change because the rules of the European Union

52:55 up until now, where everyone on the big decisions like grabbing Russian money blocking Russian oil all this stuff has to be decided by a complete agreement from all the 27 member states of the European Union. And Ursula von der Leyen, Queen Ursula she jumps up and down like ah this is great looks like we can finally change that rule. Today Europe is Hungarian without any question. We're all Hungarian now yes! Today Europe is Hungarian without any question No you're not all Hungarian The people of Hungary have spoken and they have reclaimed their European path

53:38 It is a victory for fundamental freedoms. Fundamental freedoms for us to ramrod anything we want to through all of the states of the European Union? And I really want to say to the Hungarian people you've done it again, against all odds like you did in 1956 when you courageously stood up Like you did it in 1981, 89 when you were the first to cut the barbed wire that was dividing our continent. What? Did Hungary... what? Huh?! I don't know! So with this result our union is stronger

54:20 Our Union is more united. It was an exceptional evening yesterday Of course, we will start working with the government as soon as possible on the topics you mentioned and much more to make a swift and overdue progress for the benefit of the Hungarian people There's much work to be done as Hungary is coming back to the European path But I think we should also look at the lessons learned inside the European Union. For example, moving to qualified majority voting in foreign policy

CHAPTER 21 / 52 Discussion

Sander Schmid Criticizes EU Power Grab

Member of European Parliament Sander Schmid criticized the EU's move to abolish national sovereignty on foreign policy and military matters. He described the shift toward majority voting as a "badly timed power grab" by the European Commission. Schmid argues that the focus should be on transparency and legitimacy rather than centralizing power in Brussels.

sander schmid· netherlands· national sovereignty· european parliament· brussels

54:59 is an important way to avoid systematic blockages. Now it's going to be a majority vote. Yeah, exactly vetoes gone majority vote we can ramrod anything we want through it and there I could only find one guy who doesn't think it's a good idea member of European Parliament Sander Schmid from the Netherlands. Sander your thoughts on this? I think this is an example prepared, politically prepared, bureaucratically prepared badly timed power grab by the European Commission which has a lot to do about its own transparency and legitimacy among European voters in this era. I think that's what they should work on and not work towards abolishing national sovereignty on foreign policy, on military interventions because as was said military operation we have NATO and EU

55:50 and we have seen that national democratic change is possible in Hungary. Yeah, so exactly military... foreign policy is now all going to be run by the bureaucrats in Brussels with no possibility for any member state to stop it. Right, which Orban was a thorn in the side of... He was he was a problem! He's a problem so they had to do a good job but did you get a landslide against him when he has done I mean

56:27 The public of Hungary wasn't hurting. No! There wasn't a depression, there was nothing bad going on I have some notes from some of our producers who've been there They say the place is beautiful and safe It's one of the few places Tina wants to visit outside of Holland She's like we should go to Hungary And they don't have an open border immigration policy which the new guy says he will continue So there's that You know, this European project they are just... They just keep ramming it down everybody's throats and its so sad. I only really know the Dutch and they all hate it they all think its no good, fake and gay but they have no way to do anything about it The only thing that they have is some farmers. Ehh tractor Yeah That gets old fast Yes it does because everyone gets screwed up in traffic

57:27 But that's the play. That was true regime change, I'm sure of it. I don't see at all how Orban was hated by everybody It seems like the opposite was true. Yeah. Maybe the Zeds... maybe the Zeds? I dunno who knows If-if it wasn't widely reported how it went down No we have no analysis that we can deconstruct and you know there is something fishy wen on Has to! Its censorship by omission Yeah. Well, back to local politics we have been talking about regime change we got rid of Swalwell this was quite amazing yeah and it all happened like a ton of bricks but I mean not just a takedown like this guy could go to jail! Yeah let's hope so... I have a couple of clips i want to play sure they're old

Eric Swalwell and Past Russian Collusion Allegations

A retrospective look at Eric Swalwell's frequent media appearances during the Trump administration highlights his repeated claims of Russian collusion. Swalwell often asserted that evidence of Trump being a Russian agent was "hiding in plain sight" despite a lack of concrete proof. The hosts discuss the impact of these allegations on public discourse and the role of the media in amplifying them.

eric swalwell· russia gate· donald trump· collusion· media

58:25 There's Swalwell, what a creep this guy was. He was basically the designated liar for the Democrats and I'm going to play the one that irks me the most. This is a supercut of four interviews with Swallowell during that era of Trump being impeached And this is Swalwell's supercut Russia. Where is the actual evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Putin? It's right in front your nose, Tucker When we look back on this 25 years We're gonna be amazed at how much it was right infront us You remember judiciary Do you believe that president right now has been an agent of the Russians

59:04 Yes, I think there's more evidence than he is. And I think all the arrows point in that direction and i haven't seen a single piece of evidence that he's not an agent like In the 1940s where we had people who are reds to use at all times like that another it's working for foreign powers working on behalf of The Russians yeah okay The question has shifted from whether the president Is working with the russians too what evidence exists That the president working with the Russians. At what point do you draw the line and not accuse the President of United States without any evidence, of being an agent of Russia? Yeah he's betrayed our country and I don't say that lightly...I worked as a prosecutor for seven years and I... Betraying the country by the way we want evidence before you say that but you said an agent to Russia! He works on their behalf. We're not hearing evidence if he is an agent in Russia

59:49 Yeah, I think it's pretty clear. It's almost hiding in plain sight You can just see it! You can just see it! It's hiding in plain sight! So obvious don't you see it? This is the thing that... so my next door neighbor during this era, actually said to me you know Trump is a Russian spy and it caused the rift within the community. And then I went up to Burt Monroy's house for dinner once and there was an old battleaxe there and she was at the table just going on about how

1:00:26 Trump was a Russian spy and it did, it was doing the bidding of Putin. He was running our country somehow. And you know why? Because of the peepee tape! It wasn't even brought up, it's this guy. He went on every talk show he could saying this and with no evidence whatsoever they let him do it the media they let him do it in fact even Fox had him on and he would say the same thing was right in front you know that is obvious don't you see we don't have any evidence you don't need it because it's right in front of ya Which is nonsense. Where's this one? This went on forever. Where's Tom Arnold he was gonna get the peepee tape Yeah, remember that That was great so the other one I have

Eric Swalwell Resignation and Chinese Spy Allegations

Eric Swalwell resigned from Congress following renewed scrutiny of his past association with suspected Chinese operative Christine Fang (Fang Fang). While Swalwell claimed the investigation was a "political hit job" and that he had been exonerated by the FBI in 2015, bipartisan pressure led to his departure. The controversy resurfaced as Swalwell was preparing a run for Governor of California.

You know what-you know the funny thing about that edit That was one cut And you just repeat-just copy pasted it a couple times No no I copy pasted at once Huh

1:02:09 That's good. Political vengeance seems to be the flavor of the day with the 118th Republican-led Congress. Kevin McCarthy, even in his press conference on Thursday continues to say false claims about some members including Eric Swalwell Adam Schiff were key members on the intelligence committee saying that because of some allegations including a false claim that Swalwell was involved with the Chinese back This is all about the vengeance it has nothing to do with factual facts

1:02:51 what reality is, is these small minded petty people who are now in charge of committees. And if they remove you it's going to be a huge mistake and people know it. My wife does say don't threaten her with the good time because I'm going to be home now for more diapers to change school drop off. Swalwell has never been accused of any wrongdoing. The investigation in question revolved around a woman suspected of being a Chinese intelligence operative more than a decade ago She helped Swalwell with a campaign event. Some fundraising! Very old FBI investigation from 2015, basically the FBI notified Swalwell that an associate of his might be a suspected Chinese spy when he was notified he broke ties with that person and then the FBI investigated nothing ever came of it this is what 10 years ago I guess they were trying to release the files yeah its clearly

1:03:47 So obviously, oh he's running for governor let's release the files maybe there is something in the files that will embarrass him because we couldn't bring a criminal case against him. He is trying to politicize a report that came out years ago that actually terrified and exonerated Eric Swallow now they want to change this to benefit just the president's narrative to try to stop Eric Swallow from being governor. They're gonna corrupt the DOJ, they're gonna corrupt investigations are going to force people you know to give up their careers just for his little petty vendetta and because he doesn't want someone like Donald Trump doesn't want someone like Eric Swallow to be able to fight him every day. And they always claim that you were connected to an alleged Chinese spy do you feel like you are being especially targeted? That it's coordinated even with MAGA media almost

Eric Swalwell Public Apology and Sexual Assault Denials

Eric Swalwell issued a public apology to his wife for "mistakes in judgment" while flatly denying multiple allegations of sexual assault. The allegations emerged during his campaign for Governor of California, leading to his wife filing for divorce and seeking full custody of their children. Swalwell maintains that the claims are false and timed to sabotage his political career.

eric swalwell· sexual assault· california governor· apology· divorce

1:04:34 Well, it's because I'm effective. I feel bad for him because he got so abused by his own party his own people took him down yeah I know I have a couple of things something there was the last straw moment no okay I think I know exactly what's happening Do you want to play this apology or are you good with that? The apology is just, this is before he gave up and lost the situation. But the only reason I had the apology for last show... And the interesting thing about the apology is where he apologizes to his wife in some very awkward way as though he's very guilty. Because it was a screwed-up apology A lot has been said about me today through anonymous allegations and I thought it was important

1:05:23 that you see and hear from me directly. These allegations of sexual assault are flat, false they're absolutely false. They did not happen- they have never happened I will fight them with everything that i have they also come on the eve of an election where I've been the frontrunner candidate for governor in California. I do not suggest to you in any way that I'm perfect or that I am a saint. I've certainly made mistakes in judgment in my past but those mistakes are between me and my wife And to her, I apologize deeply for putting her in this position. Uh-huh... I also apologize to you if in any way You've doubted your support from me But I think you know who I am Yep For over 20 years I have served the public As a city councilman as a member of Congress and as a prosecutor who went to court on behalf of victims particularly on behalf of sexual assault victims That's who I am and have always been

1:06:24 This weekend I'm going to spend time with my family and friends. And I appreciate those who have reached out to me, to show support. And I look forward to updating you very soon." Yeah well that was poorly worded for the allegations that are coming out it's not just one is not two is three like eight women now Yeah, and it could get worse. But he... his wife has already hired a divorce attorney and they've already filed papers to get him out of the house in full custody of the children There's all kinds of stuff going on in the background He's toast with her How come she even stuck with him after the Feng Feng thing?

Criminal Investigation Into Eric Swalwell Sexual Assault Claims

Authorities in Los Angeles have opened a criminal investigation into Eric Swalwell following allegations from Lana Drew, who claims he drugged and raped her in 2018. Attorney Lisa Bloom is representing Drew and other women who have come forward with similar stories of misconduct. The investigation follows Swalwell's 13-year career in the House ending under intense pressure.

1:07:10 I'm sure she was on the edge. Well, here's a couple examples of... And some of these women have Bloom as their lawyer? She is the daughter of the other... What's her name? We had a clip from her the other day. But these women, they're always these two lawyers that are always out there and they're always getting money for their clients and here's here's the latest in a couple more this morning authorities in Los Angeles beginning a criminal investigation against former Congressman Eric Swalwell after new and disturbing allegations I believe he drugged my drink

1:07:53 I only had one glass of wine. Lana Drew says she met Swalwell in 2018 and thought they were developing a friendship, but during their third encounter she says he sexually assaulted her He raped me And he choked me What? While he was choking me i lost consciousness And I thought, I died. Swalwell's attorney denying all the allegations saying they're false fabricated and deeply offensive adding that this is a political hit job but Drews' attorney Lisa Bloom says this is about accountability she says drew spoke to multiple people about the alleged crime at the time kept text messages and this photo with Swalwell to prove the connection. I want everyone to know that her testimony in of itself

1:08:45 is evidence and I think she has a powerful story to tell. And you believe it's enough for criminal prosecution? Yes, I do. Multiple women have accused the former congressman of sexual assault or misconduct including these two women who spoke exclusively to CBS It started out as professional and platonic and then slowly they became more and more explicit. I was terrified that if i spoke out against him then people would think that I was a loose cannon. Drew says she too, was afraid of Swalwell's political power. Was it hard for her to speak out? Very hard for her to speak out. Swalwell's 13 year career in the House ending Tuesday under bipartisan pressure. He made the right decision. This is no country for creepy old men. Gotta love Kennedy. This is no country for creepy old man so it was Anna Paulina Luna

Anna Paulina Luna and the Swalwell Expulsion Resolution

Representative Anna Paulina Luna revealed she had prepared an expulsion resolution for Eric Swalwell and informed him he would be removed if he did not resign. Luna also referenced forensic reporting on a controversial hotel room video, asserting it was authentic and not AI-generated. She suggested that further damaging information, possibly involving an underage individual, might soon be released.

anna paulina luna· eric swalwell· congress· expulsion· hotel video

1:09:44 I love that name. And Apollina Luna! She wrote the bikini model she's the one that wrote the expulsion order or whatever however that works in Congress to get him out and she was on with uh with waters and a little explosive kicker at the end of this one yeah he did have a reputation, and as you know Jesse i was actually the member of congress wrote the expulsion resolution for him and I was ready to call it up and did tell him that if he did not resign by tomorrow, that it would be filed. And we woul-did have the vote to expel him from Congress so what I will say is that many people on The Hill knew about this many reporters have come forward even in talking to me saying they had heard stories about this but I do think that he has serious criminal problems on his hand and I do think that he might end up in jail Jesse and If I could just share with you for a moment

1:10:34 Not only did I receive forensic reporting showing that, you know, that infamous video of him in the hotel room was indeed him. It was not AI generated but i'm also being told that a more stuff is going to be dropping in the next 24 hours and then also potentially the individual that recorded that video in that hotel room Jesse was a female and she was underage Oh, just so the audience is aware there's a video that circulating Fox hasn't confirmed it yet. It appears to show Swalwell on a bed with maybe another guy making out with the girl That's it! That's all we know No man So everyone's nuts about Epstein and this is just get rid of him get rid of the evidence get rid of that guy And according to Is it Spire? Jackie Spire

Jackie Speier on Predatory Environment in Congress

Former Representative Jackie Speier commented on the "predatory environment" in Congress, stating that rumors about Eric Swalwell's behavior had circulated for years. She criticized the culture of looking the other way when powerful men become entitled and feel untouchable. The discussion touches on the broader issue of systemic misconduct within the federal government.

jackie speier· congress· eric swalwell· misconduct· washington dc

1:11:24 She's a... Speer. Speer, where is she? Is she from California? Yeah. Well actually before I play that this is NBC Los Angeles well they're looking for jobs- I heard that they were all looking for jobs That's his campaign staff They're all looking at their resumes are all looking at what what their next step was but I have to tell you So, like Harvey Weinstein after that all broke everybody said well did people know about this in Hollywood? Well yes they did. And and and it like in this case one person speaks up and that gives confidence to another and then it starts to build well how many people in Washington knew about this

1:12:03 And for how long? For how long, and did the leadership know or they just heard rumors and they didn't want to ask questions. I mean so that'll be one of the questions i think we're going to have as to what people knew and when did they know it. And according to Jackie Speier yeah... We've got to make sure we fix this because it's a very predatory environment in Congress. I hate to say that but it's true These men get empowered, they become entitled and they have a sense of untouchability. And in the case of Congressman Swalwell there was plenty of rumors moving around circling about his behavior but everyone looks the other way. It's a sex den I tell you! The whole place is corrupt and seething with wickedness

Cancellation of the Congressional Page Program

The Congressional Page Program was officially terminated in August 2011 by Speaker John Boehner and Leader Nancy Pelosi. While the official reason cited the program's obsolescence due to technology and high costs, the hosts suggest that concerns over misconduct and "buggery" played a role in the decision.

congressional page program· john boehner· nancy pelosi· 2011· technology

1:12:58 Well, somebody pointed out that if you just as an aside that the page program for Congress for the House of Representatives was completely cancelled and doesn't exist anymore because of this sort of buggery and all the weirdness going on. Buggery! Yeah, great term. That was cancelled under... Was it canceled under Obama? I remember the page, maybe it was still Bush maybe? I can't remember. But a deaf... I remember getting... Ask the robot! Okay all right let's see Book of Knowledge When was the PAGE program in Congress cancelled? He is looking it up The book of knowledge is searching

1:13:56 According to the Book of Knowledge, on August 8th 2011 the House Page era came to a close when House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio and Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi of California jointly announced their decision to end the program citing the manner in which technology had made paging obsolete and the ongoing costs of maintaining the program. Thus it has been written. Yeah that's easy reason And we had the, was it the gay guy having sex in the... In one of the Senate meeting rooms. Yeah! You know this is got to end and it may not be taking pictures It may not only be men I might add you know so easy to say oh man maybe some women do all this too but the way I see it this was all about the governor's race and California has a problem you would know better than I do but I got this from ABC

CHAPTER 29 / 52 Discussion

California Democratic Party Consolidation for Governor's Race

California Democratic Party Chair Rusty Hicks has urged lower-performing candidates to drop out of the governor's race to avoid splitting the vote and allowing a Republican-on-Republican runoff. State Superintendent Tony Thurmond criticized the move, claiming the party is unfairly targeting candidates of color. Current polling shows a tight race between Republicans Steve Hilton and Chad Bianco and several prominent Democrats.

california· rusty hicks· governor's race· democratic party· tony thurmond

1:14:55 California had a problem with, I think you have like a jungle election. It doesn't matter which party but the top two contenders they go for the runoff and there were just too many Democrats and we have ranked voting yes and the party chair Rusty Hicks another great name Rusty Hicks should get together with Anna Polina Luna that would be a great couple Rusty Luna. Rusty Hicks, it's a DJ name! Hey good morning everybody! Rusty Hicks Z100. Is this too little too late by the official party? I think it's a little late...I do. Calls for that consolidation have echoed for months now amid growing concerns the Democratic vote could be split so

1:15:38 much among these nine leading Democratic candidates allowing for a Republican on Republican race in the top two runoff in November. Kind of an existential crisis potentially in this governor's race so you have nearly a dozen Democrats who have been staring into the mirror and what they see coming back at them is Governor Hicks in a Tuesday letter asking lower performing candidates not to declare their candidacy ahead of this Friday's candidate filing deadline which would put their name on the June ballot. And a stern message for candidates that still march on. To be prepared to either get viable or get out, I'm only giving them the opportunity and inviting them

1:16:14 to be a collective part of solving this challenge that we're all facing. So why not call on specific candidates to drop out? Hicks says the polls speak for themselves. This letter from you and leadership, is this the most kind of involvement quote unquote we're going to get ahead of the primary? Only time will tell I mean this is a you know, first step and i think it was the best step for today. The most recent poll from the nonpartisan Public Policy Institute of California shows five are essentially tied Republicans Steve Hilton and Chad Bianco alongside Democrats Katie Porter Eric Swalwell and Tom Steyer

1:16:50 They have to know that they're costing votes for the top Democrat vote getter. You know, even if there is five Democrats at the end of the day, there still is some chance that they would split up the vote so much candidates who pulled in the single digits and the recent PPIC pool are responding former state controller Betty Yee, former Secretary of Health and Human Services Javier Becerra and former State Assembly member Ian Calderon say their names will be on the ballot And this from state superintendent of schools Tony Thurmond Bernie Sanders was right. Our political system is rigged the California Democratic Party is essentially telling every candidate of color in the race for governor to drop out So we can't have the black people drop out so they sacrifice Swalwell and it's a great message at the same time We can get you anytime we want Yeah, we know everything You're under our control Shut up! We gotcha Because if we don't mind taking Swalwell out, we'll take anybody out

1:17:47 Yeah, that's the way a cult works. And it looks like there could have been two Republicans for the government share. Well you know it probably would have been still if there was a Republican Party in California. The Central Republican party is a bunch of boneheads. They're incompetent they can't do any fundraising... It's pathetic! Should I should I should record resurrected Republican Party in California? That would be me. Yeah, nope that would not be you at all at all Got a little fun fun clip here just as a Little though by the way there just to finish off your thing about Miss California did this all means of course that Tom Steyer is

1:18:36 The lunatic businessman, billionaire. A billionaire from California will be the governor according to all the betting gods. You should put some money down on Kelsey! I think so too. I watch all these ads Steyer's got you know he's got a lot of money spending it on ads Hmm well that's how it works. There are two people running for mayor here in Fredericksburg which should have been my spot Yeah but I live in unincorporated so I couldn't run And I was talking to Randy Briley, he's the guy we like. We like Randy. He's a former submariner tech guy who has been on city council for several years and he was talking about his opponent Emily and she's... Emily is...I don't know if she's a registered Democrat but she's pretty woke and pretty wishy-washy

Trump White House DoorDash PR Stunt

President Trump staged a DoorDash delivery of McDonald's to the White House to promote his "no tax on tips" policy. Critics, including Jen Psaki, pointed out that the delivery driver was a pre-selected supporter who had previously testified at Republican hearings. The event was characterized by the media as a transparent PR stunt rather than a chance encounter.

donald trump· doordash· white house· jen psaki· no tax on tips

1:19:30 And he said, well I saw that she had a two-page spread with her family in Country Living magazine or whatever like Hill Country Living Magazine. He's like oh i'm really worried about that but it's all about the media exposure that's how people vote yeah uh so President Trump celebrated tax day Actually, Scott Besson celebrated by telling everybody to change your withholding. You can put more money in your pocket and I think that's true than instead of waiting for your refunds... Can you always do that? Well yeah, you can always do it but now that people are seeing the refunds are bigger what is it like 10% bigger on average because of all the different policies of what President Trump called one big beautiful bill

1:20:22 So he had, he wanted to drill home the point that there's no tax on tips. He had a door dash delivered her to the White House and Jen Psaki, circle back Psaki is like does she not get the joke? Does she not understand that this of course this is marketing She went completely berserk, like this is fake and gay. This is not right that was all a setup to talk about no tax or tips! Okay if you needed any more evidence announced a tiny bit that Trump has become an absolute parody of himself the President of the United States staged a door-dash delivery of McDonald's to the outside entrance of The Oval Office in The White House when

1:21:07 When a delivery driver shows up with Trump's order and praises Trump for the no tax on tips policy that passed as part of Trump's big ugly bill. Now, I like the big ugly bill. We're going to counter his big beautiful bill called The Big Ugly Bill The White House clearly wanted to portray that scene as just kind of a chance encounter. Trump is just a regular guy waiting for his french fries, waiting for some sweet and sour sauce never mind the armed secret service agents or guarded gates that this delivery driver somehow just navigated and skipped through So as you probably suspected, probably know the whole thing was an attempt at a PR stunt. What? I was so fooled by it! The woman who showed up at the door of the Oval Office is not your average doordosh driver she was actually flown in from Arkansas and prior to making that 900 mile delivery order she had previously appeared as a witness that Republican field hearings touting Trump's big ugly bill. And also appeared in promotional videos put out by congressional Republicans supporting that bill

1:22:10 But even though this entire event was staged. Trump still found a way to make it incredibly awkward. Would you like to do a little news conference with me, with these people? These are not the nicest people and they're not nice like you, you know that right? I'll do whatever you ask me to do sir They're looking about Hormel Straight and various other things Do you have any questions? Do you think that men should play in women's sports? I really don't have an opinion on that You don't! I bet you do No, i'm here about Man. Ken Saki's hard up for material I don't, we gotta get ratings from Ms Now Is anyone watching that?

They got big mics in front of their face and then not even using like the podcaster mic you know which would be the Shure SM7 You know it said they're using, they got Neumann's with windscreens all kinds of different just the wrong mic if you gonna do it, do it right This is pathetic.

Tulsi Gabbard Declassifies "Tulsi Papers" on Russia Gate

Tulsi Gabbard has released over 100 declassified documents, referred to as the "Tulsi Papers," which she claims prove a "years-long coup" against Donald Trump. The documents allegedly detail how senior Obama administration officials, including James Comey and John Brennan, manufactured politicized intelligence to subvert the 2016 election. Gabbard argues this led to the Mueller investigation and multiple impeachments.

tulsi gabbard· russia gate· barack obama· james comey· declassification

1:24:07 So this I've been keeping this clip and it just bugs me to know, Ann that nobody really wants to jump on the situation. Jump on this at all they keep beating around but this is the Tulsi papers Oh yeah she's got something going on with us And this is like people don't want to address it They don't want to talk about it They keep beating around the bush Even our people you know The administration Justice Department, you know? I don't know. What are we supposed to do here? Play this! This is an issue that is important to every single one of us as Americans. This is not a partisan issue It has to do with the integrity and the strength of our Democratic Republic And it lays out these over hundred documents that you're referencing That I've released declassified and released

1:25:00 spells out in great detail exactly what happens when you have some of the most powerful people in our country directly leading at the helm, President Obama and his senior-most national security cabinet. James Comey, John Brennan, James Clapper and Susan Rice and others essentially making a very intentional decision to create this manufactured politicized piece of intelligence with the objective of subverting the will of the American people who in November 2016 delivered an historic victory to President Trump, defeating Hillary Clinton. And President Obama and his team their goal was to essentially not accept

1:25:47 the decision of the American people and to use this manufactured politicized intelligence as a means to enact what would become essentially, a years-long coup against President Trump. You have gone into great detail over these years of what the effects of this document and this decision have resulted in. Obviously, year's long Mueller investigation that cost taxpayers almost $40 million to congressional impeachments, endless smears and attacks against not only President Trump but his family. He had senior members of his team who were investigated some arrested and jailed we had heightened and increased tensions between the United States and Russia the list goes on and on about the consequences of President Obama and his senior cabinet members politicizing intelligence

1:26:40 Once again, and I say these words very clearly to enact what was essentially a years-long coup subverting the will of the American people in that election In November. And this is about Russia gate? I presume yeah What was about the faked intelligence? Yeah that was put together specifically to create the Russia gate hoax Maybe that's why Swalwell also had to go just an extra benefit He might have known. Maybe he might know that's a good point now the only thing you're seeing now the PBS was on the news hour was talking about Trump commuting all sentences of all January J sixers, but they did bring in a little bit about I guess there's a weaponization working group and

Weaponization Working Group Report on Biden DOJ

A report from the "Weaponization Working Group," established by Pam Bondi, alleges that the Biden Justice Department selectively enforced the FACE Act. The report claims the DOJ protected abortion clinics while ignoring attacks on pregnancy centers and engaged in prosecutorial misconduct. Former Biden DOJ officials have denied the claims, stating the law was enforced even-handedly.

pam bondi· biden doj· face act· weaponization working group· abortion

1:27:29 which I had not heard of. Yeah, I've heard of it and so the only thing they can come up with is this. And separately the Justice Department released a report alleging that the Biden justice department weaponized the agency against its perceived enemies which is the very thing the Trump justice department is accused of How did this come to be? Yes, this is the first product of the so called weaponization working group which is something that a former Attorney General Pam Bondi stood up. The stated goal was to uncover instances of the Biden administration using the levers of government power To achieve political ends This report is about the Biden DOJ's application

1:28:11 criminalizes interfering with someone who is seeking to access reproductive care, including abortion. It's known as the FACE Act and the report alleges that the Biden administration selectively enforced the act by protecting abortion clinics but not other pregnancy centers that oppose abortion rights that they coordinated with pro-abortion rights advocacy groups, exercised prosecutorial misconduct including screening jurors based on religion. And that they sought longer sentences for defendants who oppose abortion rights than for those who support those rights. Meanwhile a former leader of the Biden era DOJ civil rights division says that team enforced the law even handedly. I think their running cover

tulsi gabbard· hawaii· science of identity foundation· chris butler· hare krishna

1:28:56 Like, let's do this story. Let's pay attention to this one we can't have... and Tulsi is still kind of boring. Well she's a dullard! And now they're going because of this report she put out. A dullard? Don't you think? Yeah, yes! She's a dullard, that's the problem. She is you know now they're trying to smear her on various podcasts They've connected her to a cult Oh! She was raised in a cult in Hawaii oh really? Yeah it's got some screwball name I wrote it down somewhere let me see if I have it this might be it

1:29:34 Uh, you miss my... Do we want to consult the Book of Knowledge? Yeah ask her what cult she was in when she was in Hawaii. Okay, Book of Knowledge What cult was Tulsi Gabbard in when she was young in Hawaii I think that was something with her parents if I recall Let's see what the Book of Knowledge has to say about this According to the Book of Knowledge, Tulsi Gabbard was raised in the science of identity foundation a fringe offshoot of Hare Krishna that was formed in the 1970's and has been described by defectors as a cult. The group was founded by Chris Butler after he broke from the International Society for Krishna Consciousness. Thus it has been written

1:30:18 Science of Identity Foundation. Yeah, Krishna spin-off! Yeah, like Krishna's... We had a lot of Hare Krishnas in Holland and they had great parties You're always in the airport annoying people. Well, we didn't have them in the airport but they would all of a sudden just show up and... In a club and then like it's just in a nightclub where people are dancing They do their Hare Krishna Hare Hare Krishna And we'd start dancing with them This is 80s But the Dutch in Amsterdam We loved him Like ah! It was like Hare Krishna guys And they had their own club They seemed harmless Yeah I guess

AI Jesus Image and Trump's Conflict with the Pope

President Trump faced criticism after reposting an AI-generated image of himself being embraced by Jesus, which some allies in Congress found offensive. The post coincided with a public spat between Trump and Pope Leo over crime and war policies. Critics used the incident to question Trump's narcissism and mental state, while the White House eventually removed the image.

donald trump· pope leo· ai jesus· social media· cognitive test

1:31:00 So so they're trying to go after her for being a Christian Yes, Krishna Port port Tulsi she deserves better. All right what else you got we got this? They got this Trump versus the Pope thing which spun spun out I think that's so bogus it well You know what's interesting is that the the ladies of Fredericksburg were very confused about this image and Trump is Jesus. Yeah, and the biggest problem I think is that most people didn't see the original image it was it was AI'd so many different times by the time people saw it today like whoa What does he do in acting like Jesus? And it was old The original was from February I think hmm and So but that kind of flowed over into

1:32:03 the president versus the Pope President versus the Pope because the pope had said hey man I don't like war The president said hey, you're soft on crime That was it pretty much here's a Anderson Pooper on the case. President Trump's jabs at Pope Leo stretch into a fourth day today when the president reposted this AI generated image of himself being embraced by Jesus. See they pulled it all together I'm not sure if the celestial light is Trump's that he is shining onto Jesus or that its Jesus sharing his light with him? See, I didn't even see this one with Je- All I saw was

1:32:44 Trump with with helicopters and fighter jets in the background, and then yeah I saw that one Yeah, but I think that was the original who's increasingly fashioning himself as America's Lord and Savior in the Image, President Trump has his eyes closed. Doesn't appear to be sleeping while he is cradled by Jesus. The presidential prose that accompanied the image... The radical left lunatics might not like this but I think it is quite nice! For sheer bizarreness however any dose of messianic madness hard to beat AI Jesus Trump the golden god-like celestial light pouring forth from His manly hands healing the sick answering prayers Manly hands! Hours later He took It down

1:33:23 Not because the radical left lunatics, but because some allies in Congress and people who do actually have faith were outraged. The president said he thought it was an image of him as a doctor which then makes you wonder who were those alleged doctors who allegedly administered him those alleged cognitive tests which he allegedly aced? This is where they're taking this. Pooper sets it up here with the doctors, oh well how about the doctors who gave him that cognitive test and said he wasn't demented. This is the setup. some dude to talk about this. It's curious to me that the White House chose, you know they took down or the president or somebody told him to take down the post of him as the AI Jesus with the orbs of light coming from his hand and being bathed in celestial golden light

1:34:19 um... healing the john stewart like personally in the bed this is news they if they took that down they also took down a clip of uh... presidents uh... i guess spiritual advisor she's often called comparing him on Easter to Jesus over and over and over again, and the president is really not objecting to that comparison. The White House kind of took that clip down but again he's now continuing the comparisons today. Well not just appropriating

Dr. John Gartner and Trump Dementia Claims

Psychologist Dr. John Gartner appeared on Piers Morgan's show to argue that Donald Trump is suffering from "clinical pathological narcissism" and cognitive deficits. Morgan challenged Gartner on why he had not expressed similar concerns about Joe Biden's obvious cognitive decline during his presidency. The discussion highlights the political motivations often behind medical diagnoses of public figures.

john gartner· piers morgan· donald trump· joe biden· dementia

1:35:01 religion or appropriating a faith by the way he doesn't hold himself but to present himself as the equivalent of Jesus would not be immediately repelled by the idea that someone would say that about you. I think it shows a level of narcissism that is clinically pathological and normal people, sane people I would never do such a thing. So, Piers Morgan brought on a doctor... Oh yeah! I like this clip. This is good clip. Dr John Gartner and it was my mouth was agape. I spoke to him on the phone two months ago and he sounded for about 10 minutes exactly the same as the Donald Trump i've known for 20 years so how come trump never calls us? He's calling everybody. And by the way I want to do a Mayor Culper Yeah Pool Boy

1:35:56 Yeah, pool boy is bullcrap. Sorry! Well of course it happens I spoke to him on the phone and he even said i'm gonna troll those no agenda guys two months ago and he sounded for about 10 minutes exactly the same as a Donald Trump I've known for 20 years so I'm not sure that I've personally seen any evidence of this dementia you're talking about but I guess my question for you would be did you express the same public warnings about Joe Biden? Well, I think the difference was they were hiding Joe Biden. We couldn't see it, we never noticed it. We had no idea that he was demented. So you really weren't hiding him from us on television I mean I wrote a number of columns for example for the New York Post in which I said there is clear evidence that Biden is suffering serious cognitive decline which looks to me like the early onset of dementia. I've did this repeatedly for two years. I'm not even a psychologist

1:36:53 But I'm just curious whether you ever publicly expressed any concerns about Biden's cognitive ability while he was president. Well, I think that we missed that one to be honest especially for those of us who didn't have close contact with him but... So you saw nothing? Just to be clear, you saw nothing about Joe Biden in public life during the last two years his presidency which as a psychologist made you think he had any cognitive issues whatsoever Well, I think the shocking moment was the debate. Yeah but before the debate...

1:37:28 Unlike Trump who's so out there with his cognitive deficits, as I'm saying. I think that his handlers were doing a very good job of keeping him out of the public eye. Biden was talking to dead people in audiences he was falling over all the time He was talking complete gibberish half the time. He looked at me half zombie-like for the last two years of tenure. I suppose the point I would make you Dr Gardner is it's hard to escape suspicion that you are politically motivated rather medically motivated because for years we all watched Biden's obvious cognitive decline unravel on the most public stage imaginable. You know they're gonna run with this again and they're gonna point to his praise Allah posts and all this other stuff and say oh that's clearly us, your demented

1:38:15 I mean, are they really going to try the 25th Amendment again? Well they can't really get anywhere with the 25th Amendment without J.D. Vance getting on board and he's not gonna do it! No no oh man there's just you know they're... It's a replay of what they tried. They did the cognitive thing in uh 25th amendment thing during his first term yeah So then Biden comes in and they shut up about everything. That was the best actual demented guy, no one said anything it was fantastic! It's gonna be fun after the midterms John it's gonna be fun

New Pandemic Preparedness and PCR Protocol Timeline

A medical podcast analyzes the rapid timeline of a new "atypical pneumonia" outbreak in China, comparing it to the COVID-19 rollout. The speaker notes that a PCR test protocol was established and peer-reviewed within 26 days of the first reported case. The segment suggests that the speed of the response and the focus on asymptomatic transmission indicate a premeditated process.

china· who· pcr test· christian drosten· pandemic

1:38:57 But let's go for the new disease story I got here. New disease? Oh my goodness, okay... This is a timeline this is kind of a breakdown by somebody uh they get this on NPR I think but it's a breakdown of a new disease It's a COVID-like diseases the mystery and pneumonia they don't know what it is Wait wait isn't this the NVTM that we talked about No this may be a variant I think these are two different things. They've moved it to this, what this is and you can just see that they're practicing rollouts. It's like something very fishy about this whole thing. A new pandemic? Yeah well they want a pandemic even though they happen generally every hundred years. They're trying to phony up one

1:39:50 A very strange phenomenon in China and I, Dr. Spatz... China? ... a case of supposedly atypical pneumonia that event is a very strange event to start with there's lots of pneumonia all the time in China okay but this one's very strange okay so that's 30th of December it's just before the beginning of January and then supposedly we have the emergence According to the World Health Organization already on January 5th they're telling us that they have identified 44 cases out of a population of 8 million people

1:40:31 atypical pneumonia of unknown etiology, unknown cause. So that's taken them five days from the time that the first doctor said he'd seen something strange. Oh no! Then two days later they had declared that a new SARS-like virus was the cause of these pneumonia cases. Two days after they decided that they identified 65 unusual cases three days later We have a situation where the firm manufacturing the first PCR kits to test for this thing is already shipping them. So let's just recap, we've gone from the identification of the first patient to the shipping of the first kits in 11 days and on that same day when they shipped the kids... By the way are the lights too bright? No no it's all good okay On the same day when they shipped the kits The first gene sequence is published

1:41:25 on virological.org Two days after that, the World Health Organization has already accepted Christian Drosten's PCR protocol as what they call the gold standard for testing for this new disease No this is not NPR No it's not NPR It's a medical podcast Well that's a complete exact replay of COVID You're only faster. Well, yeah and they got straight to the gold standard of the PCR which as we know was never supposed to be used for diagnostic testing

1:42:04 But this won't work. No, I don't think so either but I don't think it's meant to...I think this is just a test run for the process. For what? They already know that the process worked and it worked great! Yeah but it didn't work well... The only way it's going to work... Depends on what you mean by great Well, they got a lot out of it. The only way that it will work is they have to strike down the podcasters first They have to kill us we have to yeah, good luck with we have to get this virus and we're distributed baby distributed We're decentralized man Decentralized through no studios for us. All right

1:42:44 A few more gene sequences are published in that time. Just 12 days, 9 days after that the famous Cormann-Drosten protocol is published and submitted for review and 27 hours later it's peer reviewed and published What the hell? In a journal that Drosten is an editor of Two days after that there's a Chinese study about clinical symptoms that relate, supposedly relate to COVID and that's published in the New England Journal of Medicine. We're still only 25 days from the beginning of this whole thing and then five days after that The first study is published also in the NEJM about asymptomatic transmission So what have we done there? We've established in a compressed time frame of just 26 days There's a new clinical manifestation

1:43:46 it's caused by this virus. This virus has the following sequence, here is a test which is the gold standard in identifying that sequence and the peer research identifying the primers that we're going to use all over the world has been submitted for peer review and published And we've described the clinical features of this so-called new disease I would submit to you that every single one of those steps was A, complete and utter bullshit. And B premeditated So they're missing a catchy name How are they going to market this thing? But i like the way they have to prove the asymptomatic transmission That's the key right there Yeah That's what you need a vaccine for So around town...and I hear things

Ozempic Side Effects and AI Reddit Analysis

A study from the University of Pennsylvania used AI to analyze 400,000 Reddit posts to identify underreported side effects of GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy. The research found patterns of menstrual irregularities and body temperature regulation issues that were not prominent in clinical trials. Researchers suggest this AI framework could be used to monitor the safety of other rapidly growing medications.

ozempic· wigovy· glp-1· reddit· artificial intelligence

1:44:44 There's a new way of saying you are on Ozempic. Oh! And it goes like this, no no no I'm just micro dosing it What does that even mean? It means like I am not really on it... But I'm on it. No no no I'm not really taking Ozempic or Wigovy or Deathbound I'm just micro dosing it And nobody is reading the black box warning labels, nobody seems to care except the people on Reddit. The popular GLP-1 drugs are transforming the weight loss world but thousands of reddit users may be rewriting the side effect list a newly published Penn study uses artificial intelligence to pull under reported side effects that clinical trials may have missed

1:45:38 So researchers say menstrual irregularities was a big one that stood out. And same with body temperature regulation like chills and hot flashes, Neil Sagal is the PhD student at Penn Engineering and he says their team looked at 400,000 Reddit posts mentioning Wigovi or Zempig dating all the way back to 2019. Now in that group they identified 70,000 people who said they were on the drug almost half reported at least one side effect of that medication Reddit is not a representative sample of the United States population. I'm not saying that reddit solves all these issues, but it does give us a different population that's pretty large to see what's happening. Seagal says their research is not implying that these underreported symptoms are directly linked to GLP-1 drugs only that AI picked up a pattern that they are being talked about often by some users of the drug

1:46:29 But I think the bigger opportunity is to apply the same AI-based framework to other medications that are exploding in popularity faster than our formal safety monitoring infrastructure can keep up with. as the goal is to use this large language model to do this kind of research faster and easier with other drugs that are coming into the market. Find out what other people's experience with those drugs has been, fascinating stuff! Fascinating stuff! Fascinating! No but that's actually a pretty interesting use of large language models Yeah I think so To run through all that stuff There was something there were some other medical...I think it's medical news that i picked up and it reminded me of something we talked about two shows ago This was uh

CHAPTER 40 / 52 Discussion

Declining US Birth Rates and "Trump Accounts"

U.S. birth rates have dropped to 3.6 million annually, a 23% decline since 2007, raising concerns about the future labor force. In response, the Trump administration introduced "Trump Accounts," which provide a $1,000 government contribution for every child born after January 1st of the previous year. Experts attribute the decline to financial insecurity, career focus, and social anxiety among young adults.

birth rates· trump accounts· fertility· mark siegel· demographics

1:47:11 pretty big report. It's an undeniable trend, fewer Americans are having babies just over 3.6 million were born in the US last year sounds like a lot but that's down 23% from back in 2007 it's everything from less unintended teen pregnancies that's a good thing to women possibly having more kids later in life to whole other other sort of social factors such as anxiety about the world and the cost to have children. All that put together is likely why there are declining fertility rates not only in United States but worldwide Women are waiting longer to have babies birthrates are rising among women in their 30s and 40s, but experts say not fast enough to replace births from younger women

1:47:54 There's many reasons people are delaying childbirth. Part of it is people are getting married later, People are more career-driven It's also less affordable now to not work But fewer children born overall means a declining population Raising concern about the labor force and wider economy I'll be known as the fertilization president That that's not fair To address the issue, the Trump administration has unveiled TRUMP accounts. Investment accounts for children born after January 1st last year that come with a $1,000 government contribution So it's actually quite bad It's gotten down to one I think one point six children Yeah not good Which is without immigration is collapse of society just you'll have no people left within 40 or 50 years

1:48:43 And so I first thought, maybe people have more abortions with the chemical and it turns out it's kind of the same about a million a year. Just a million babies incinerated Dr. Mark Siegel over there at Fox News, now he saw this as a problem I found his phrasing kind of interesting but his conclusion is probably right Absolutely we still have 3.6 million births a year but the problem is teens and young adults from ages 15 to 19 the fertility rate is down 7% and it's down 70%.

1:49:19 over the last two decades, meaning we're telling people that are young not to have babies to wait till they're in a more stable life situation. Till they're more financially secure maybe they haven't found the right partner." Alright so I'm not sure i'm all-in on teen pregnancy but his conclusion that young people are not having children I think it's correct and the numbers show that, and i was just going back to The Hair Girl who said nobody is having sex anymore. And our conclusion was SSRIs so... And we've turned out a GLP-1 maybe? No! I wish! That came out! I've heard that but when you listen to what SSRIs do with the

PSSD and the Long-Term Impact of SSRIs

Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction (PSSD) is gaining recognition as a permanent side effect for some users of antidepressants. Symptoms include a total loss of libido, emotional blunting, and "brain fog" that can persist for years after discontinuing the medication. Regulators in the EU and Canada have added warnings to drug labels, as approximately 15% of the U.S. population is currently prescribed these drugs.

ssri· pssd· sexual dysfunction· big pharma· antidepressants

1:50:07 Side effects of PSSD? Listen to this. What do you think is one of the worst... And a reminder, I think we have more young people on antidepressants than ever before! Everybody's on some kind of Zoloft or Prozac or whatever. What do you think is one of the worst things that can happen to a person who's taking antidepressants So it would be a side effect called PSSD, which is post-SSRI sexual dysfunction. Now in a small group of people who take these medications... well actually let me say this about 70% of people who take SSRIs will have some sexual dysfunction that's normal it's widely acknowledged but what most people believe is that it will completely go away when they come off the drug

1:50:56 That's not true for a fraction of people. They will continue to have sexual dysfunction afterwards and obviously that can be completely devastating in a relationship I mean if you're having difficulties maintaining an erection, if you're a man or feeling connected or having that libido that you used to have this can really get in the way of a relationship And unfortunately for some people, it's permanent. This issue is not fringe at all this is now in the drug labels of antidepressants around the world In the EU, Canada, Hong Kong and Australia All these major regulators are putting this into drug labels to warn young people when they get on these medications that they may develop sexual dysfunction that does not go away

1:51:46 So you have no libido, you don't feel like being close. No intimacy and even if you have kids it's not that great I've seen it's about 1 in 216 which is a lot If you consider that 15% of the US population is on these but It's not super common but to some people their sexual functioning does not return afterwards And on top of that They develop a toxicity where they start to have intense dissociation and brain fog. And the way they describe the emotional blunting and dissociation is like,

1:52:21 If I were to hug my kid or like my partner, I don't feel any warmth or connection. Oh yeah! If i would hear My favorite song from my childhood that used to give me prickles down the back of my neck Like that's gone it's like music doesn't sound right they almost feel like lobotomized and disconnected emotionally from the world And so they have sexual dysfunction They feel lobotomized And to many people this doesn't go away. I was kind of optimistic when i said protracted withdrawal does seem to heal within 18 months to 2 years, but I'm not seeing that with PSSD. I've seen some people get better but also know a lot of people who have had this for 5-6-7-8 years longer there's reports of people who have had this 20 years Dude... Thank you Big Pharma This is our problem right here! This is the problem

1:53:15 Like, eh. I don't even want to hug my kid! I don't like my favorite music anymore... And these things are being handed out like candy. Yeah, they make people take them sometimes when you're a kid's little... You're like a boy in the classroom in the fourth grade he's fidgety. Well that's... Drug him up! That's Ritalin I'm sorry, Ritalin Is Ritalin an SSRI? No no but they drug... The kids are all like it's time to take my meds excuse me teach gotta take my meds This is our problem. Yeah, and it would probably be resolved if we did two things... Oh let me guess does it have something to do with advertising? Ban advertising of drugs without one of two countries that allows it and also at the same time they do some about the liability thing with the vaxes yeah

CIA "Ghost Murmur" Technology and Airman Rescue

The rescue of an American airman in Iran reportedly utilized a secret CIA tool called "Ghost Murmur," which uses quantum magnetometry to detect a human heartbeat from a distance. While some experts are skeptical of the technology's described range, the tool supposedly isolates specific electromagnetic frequencies from background noise. The segment questions whether the technology is as advanced as claimed or if traditional beacons were used.

cia· ghost murmur· quantum magnetometry· iran· rescue mission

1:54:15 I have a couple of screwball clips here. Have you heard this is a... This, I'm wondering if this is complete horseshit? Have you heard ghost murmurs? Uh was this how they found the pilot? Yeah Supposedly. Let's listen. It's not a needle in the haystack, it's the tip of tiny needle in the biggest haystack you can ever think is what you're looking for. The rescue of a downed American airman from the mountains of Iran has revealed a secret CIA tool known as ghost murmur reported by The New York Post to be a breakthrough in quantum magnetometry... Okay that part

1:54:52 Is bullcrap. Quantum magnetometry? No, no I don't believe in that at all. It isolates the electromagnetic signature of a human heartbeat to find people where traditional sensors fail. I spoke with military expert Philip Ingram to find out more So Philip some amazing James Bond style technology has been used to rescue this second airman from Iran what is it and how do they use it Well, you know the James Bond type technology is as described in the article detecting the heartbeat of the downed aircrew at a distance thousands of kilometers away using some very specialist technology that to the CIA have been keeping

1:55:36 quiet for years. I'm slightly sceptical at the detail that there is in the article about the technology and the ability to detect heartbeat but there are certainly an awful lot of technologies out there that people are not aware of, that can detect different things on very long ranges and US intelligence services will have been using everything they have at their disposal track, trace and pinpoint the position of the Dalanderre crew. This is a rescue that's very historic it'll go down in the books Can you attempt to explain in layman's terms how quantum magnetometry works? In essence

1:56:16 What you're doing is you're using the power of computing to look for a specific frequency that stands out from other frequencies that are in the background noise that's going on. I would say it's, this quantum nonsense label is necessary. But why wouldn't it be? You probably have a heat signature or be easier... Or just as easy How about a beacon? Just push the button. Beep beep beep! The idea if you have a beacon then everybody can find ya So they supposedly... but do they have this guy's heart profile on file? I mean I don't believe in this

1:56:59 But let's play the second part and I can complain afterwards. So if we think of what is going on around the world when it comes to different signals and things, as everyone walks as every vehicle moves, as every animal moves it vibrates creates a vibration in the earth. As every phone signal goes out or every car transmitting data back somewhere other or everything else there are signals in electromagnetic spectrum things that are big and over deliberately done you can identify and that's what your signals interception does and everything else. An awful lot of the rest of this stuff happens in what is called the noise, so it is all of this background activity as an insect beats its wings it is creating background activity we get a solar flare it is creating background activity in electromagnetic spectrum and therefore it has been able to isolate

1:57:49 some of the different signals that are in that background activity is where this technology comes into it. And that's the real difficulty, that's a real complexity and is finding a pattern you look for particular pattern and then search everything going on in the background and this is were quantum level computing and this is where artificial intelligence needed to be able find out how little pinpoint we achieved our primary objective by finding providing confirmation that one of America's best and bravest was alive. All right, grouse away! That's it? I thought you were gonna complain?! Well...I don't know if I have to. It just seems far-fetched. Well when they bring in quantum and AI okay whatever. When they use that term yeah but of course that reminds me of the clip my clip this week of chat GPT

Yeah he's making a career out of his bullcrap Yes and he's going on TMZ TMZ there were There have been different reports over the years some reports that there have been pieces of machinery that were found That did not seem earthly and then there have been reports about Life, that is not earthly which one of those two or both is

2:01:43 What are you talking about? A form of life that is not earthly or just something mechanical that's not earthly. I say you'd be safe to say both The way you describe this, whatever happened at this meeting, this briefing was happening Was there something if we knew we would feel like we were in danger You said you wouldn't sleep at night if you knew the things I saw on these briefings Yeah, I believe that. That's the part where it was alarming. I don't think we're at danger of this. I mean these things exist as I think they do and they could have destroyed us with a blink of an eye. And I just don't see that. But but I do think they have the technology in the capabilities of something that we can understand or

Anka predicts that humanity will be literally introduced to extraterrestrials by 2027. The hosts suggest this is part of a broader Hollywood-led effort to prepare the public for a "Project Bluebeam" style event.

Yeah, maybe something. I think she got it so like some doctorate because he knows she's a sharp sharp cookie Okay Well she has a podcast Oh no. Oh yeah, 2026 disclosure! Oh yeah she does it with this guy Daryl Anka. 2026 is the year of disclosure if you know anything about alien abduction? A little bit I had two very close broad daylight UFO sightings here over Los Angeles just before dusk and i'm seeing this black equilateral triangular craft and i'm looking at this thing gliding across the valley like he was moving on a sheet of glass It was hovering

2:04:16 and then it just shot up in the blink of an eye into the clouds, and it was gone. Once you see something like that that close physically, it changes everything I understood that the UFO had been shown to me on purpose The world is not what I was told Daryl Anka a man who channels an extraterrestrial hybrid named Bashar millions people have been following Bashar's advice about how to save humanity and how to change our lives. The entity stopped talking to the class and turned right to me, and said there is an entity here for you right now if you're ready to begin. Where does he live? Do we know? He is an extraterrestrial physical entity about 500 light years in the direction of the Orion constellation in parallel reality this is a telepathic connection they had

2:05:01 shift into other parallel realities where human DNA was still viable like ours and use that to create hybrids which means they're genetically connected to us. Typical hybrid extraterrestrial is not something I ever thought we'd be talking about! They're noticing we're making the same mistakes What are we facing right now? What is coming next in 2027, We will be introduced literally to extraterrestrials Yeah. Oh, hello! She has a PhD in neuroscience from UCL. So they're ramping it up more. Get Mayim Bialik she's trustworthy. Why are they ramping it up? Well because we have Hollywood stuff coming out A that's always the default answer and ultimately you know the Project Bluebeam is still on deck I guess

2:05:57 You know, to have us all come together in one world because the aliens are projecting in the sky and we all worship them? Yeah. Okay... I'm not making it up myself!

They didn't upload to Apple We are still value for value, although advertising's looking better these days. Is it because you're not doing the newsletter? Do you think it's... and that's nothing against today No I'm actually writing the copy so he changed back to me and it went down. Do you think people aren't receiving the newsletter because of changes we made or...? I think there is a little bit of that but but you usually get bigger numbers coming in

2:08:15 before the newsletter goes out. I think that there's just, I think it's the economy you said it yourself. I did? Yeah what was I saying about this in some weeks ago and you lost the economy well might be people is hard times for people I get it when they can't afford gas that's right can't afford anything can't afford food we want to do with the podcast Now, of course eventually we won't be able to afford food and then want to go do something else in our old age. Yeah well we can hope that we get better donations in the future We will there's always hope for sure So Value For Value is the way we have been running this for over 18 years which means if you get any value out of the show If you feel better You feel calm you feel like you can say something now to your neighbors you can speak with authority about certain topics

2:09:07 Well, then you just got some value and if you want to reciprocate so that the value will continue All you have to do is send back some time some talent or some treasure three ways. You can help us Time and talent is always a good one And we appreciate everybody who sends in boots on the ground ideas expertise Everybody's an expert at something when you hear A new story about something you are An expert in specialized in you have an obligation as a producer of The No Agenda Show to let us know Some people just have great expertise with prompting and that's how we always come up with the artwork It's funny Scaramanga felt like he was back like he had returned from the dead because we chose his artwork for episode 1859 we titled it splashdown, and this was the

2:09:57 This was related to how a cow eats the cabbage? Something in it. Yeah, some phrase you used I didn't use no no It wasn't a Dutch phrase it was something from a clip Oh maybe... It was on your clips like uh I teach how the cow eat your cabbage and Francisco Scaramanga nailed it with somewhat of a cheesecake lady on top of a cow eating a cabbage and I'm reliably informed from comic strip blogger that the lady on top of the cow very much resembles Scaramanga's real-life wife. Oh, really? Apparently he's got some hottie! Did I just say that? Yeah you said that... I said hotty! So congratulations!

2:10:45 Mr. Scaramanga and Mrs. Scaramanga, welcome back to the party! We choose these from noagendaartgenerator.com Anybody can see it at any time. When did Cometstrip blogger meet up with Scaramanga? Never gonna happen. He must have he knows his wife No I think they talk You know look i'm the only person who has ever met CSB in person from the entire NOAgenda nation And he's a very nice guy not at all what you think he'd look like, yeah I mean what if you had to describe comics or blogger we think it looks like Alex Jones. Oh interesting fat old ugly Alex Jones or ripped new Alex Jones Just a neutral Alex Jones Nothing special would you be surprised if I said more like Fabio?

2:11:42 I would be very surprised. Yeah, well there you go like this You're not even getting close to it. Hey Adam Curry Hi, I am Fabio so there were a lot of people who tried the The cow on the cabbage bit None quite as good as scaremanga also for some reason a lot of capsules with aliens in it I don't know why where that Jeffrey Rhea did that? I'm not sure what that was about You know, the models are now spitting out cartoons. Have you noticed that? That's kind of what's coming... Yeah I complained about this last show! Yeah yeah i'm seeing it now as well

2:12:24 And it's not great. Try not to overcomplicate things when you try to make it very detailed and specific with little letters... This is something that someone sees on Twitter, and it's just a small 256 by 256 image It's not like we're looking at posters here, and it's just supposed to be something that catches people's eye and they go oh this is great I want to listen to that So, Scaramanga. Simple to the point and well done. Noagendaartgenerator.com we appreciate everyone who submits And we want to thank people who gave us some treasure for episode 1859 of course also for 1860 and we always think every single one of our producers

Oh from Sir Mike you're in The Zipper Club It's an exclusive club Yeah, it's an exclusive club Baron of Old Bay in Wilmington, Delaware. 34589. Uh... ITM I'm glad John is back and on the mend! I just retired after 26 years at an unnamed IT company. I started listening to No Agenda Show 1 when John was on Twit.

2:14:50 The show was first on my iPod, then on my SanDiskenza, then on my BlackBerry Curve. And eventually many generations of iPhones The show kept me entertained and informed during countless hours of travel and commutes to the office when I used to go. Thank you for being part of my journey, and for keeping me grounded looking forward to four more years jobs karma for those who need it since i no longer do. I quit! Best regards the Baron of Old Bay Jobs jobs jobs and jobs let's vote for jobs

2:15:32 You've got karma. Anonymous comes in with $333 and 33 cents, one of our favorite donation amounts from East Lansing Michigan and says shout out to Mimi and Jay on my way to Dame Hood spitty fire thank you spitty fire Richard Hufford in Tempe Arizona 300 ITM long time night jumping into the executive producer pool for the first time, keep up the great work. So glad John is back with us. By the way I want to thank everybody personally for all of you who said that your prayer prayed for me. I want to thank everybody for doing that. Prayer works! Well...I'm not dead and one interesting thing about it is and it just keeps cropping up. It cropped up today because a nurse came by

2:16:31 Now is this a female or male nurse? This is female. Is she hot? Most are female, I haven't seen the male nurse on the freelancing out there... It's the following people have had this operation they're always at the ever since right after that first woke up do you feel any pain no We got drugs for that. I don't care." Person after person, and today it was the same thing... Do you feel any pain? So it was like no, I don't feel any pain and so I started grilling some of the nurses about this and apparently only about two people out of 100 having had their chest split open and then put back together and glued there's I guess a pain involved which I don't feel

2:17:23 And so I asked one of the nurses recently, what is this pain? You know everyone keeps asking me about this pain that I don't have. And they say it's like a stabbing pain like you're being stabbed and I'm glad I don't have the pain but...I don't have the pain! I just think that it was a fluke. I don't know why but I'm glad. Well I'm just gonna connect that to prayer then Well, I mean it's possible. Yes! I may have been overloaded but it hasn't done much for the fluids All right everybody hands on jaws to pray for the fluids to stop all right? I'm making the call right now pray so glad John is back with us he continues Karma for the entire Noah agenda nation and an F cancer from me okay Love you guys cheers did you get my email oh yeah his email I did get it his email

2:41:17 There is no story bigger this week than Facebook and its perpetual problem with fake news. One person's fake news is another person's news! We are not serious about facts, and what's true and what's not You faked with me No. You're fake. I think if we can't discriminate between serious arguments and propaganda, then we have problems that whole thing the whole production it was all an act. Hey, hey, hey, hey, I'm shocked Jerry just remember it's not a lie If you believe don't laugh why are you laughing? Shut up shut off

2:42:01 Woah! Woah! Woah! Woah! We have 63 days to go. Woah! I'm out. Here's what I've said. I've said that we need the information, we need to connect the dots and we got a drill down We've gotta connect the dots Get the facts Connect the dots Do everything that i possibly can To help uh connect the dots? I've said we gotta connect the dots! I've always said

2:43:07 If we connect the dots, I believe that they should have to connect the dots if we're able. Yeah To connect the dots and if we determine facts that the dots are connected let's get to the bottom of it all Let's see if the dots connect Using vulgar language, President Trump today questioned why the United States would allow people from Haiti and Africa into the country. Describing those places using an expletive... The president said why are we having all these people from shithole-shithole-shithole-shithole quote excuse me shit hole-shit hole countries I wouldn't say that. I don't think you should say that, I'll say that. Shithole countries It's a bad word This is how some people talk Shithole countries Is it graceful? No! Shithole shithole Is it polite? Absolutely not! Shit hole shit hole shit hole country I just think its offensive Of course it is All countries in Africa are shitholes Shithole countries This is a new low Racist Vulgar Un-American

2:44:07 This is a freak show. There's shithole communities in America! I'm a proud shithole, people from shithole countries Donald Trump has turned the Oval Office into our shitholes Of course it may not be appropriate for some of our younger viewers Relax The computer is processing the data. I will be notified as soon as there is any information And, I want to be careful here Any advertiser or campaign...I know we're working with them Its goal is to sell everything to everyone Why am I seeing this ad? Well that's a great question Your user agreement sucks We see more passive listening and passive monitoring in our own homes With the information we've accumulated on

2:44:51 We provided support to the Trump campaign and he's been terrific. He may be a globalist but I still like him. He was calling those things that were not as though they were is what he was doing then Yes, he is seriously at lovelessness no question There has never been a company quite like Amazon kin to a game of whack-a-mole Goodbye and f**k you I had a swollen amygdala. Maybe my parents didn't know how widespread swollen amygdala is While swollen amygdala shrinks for most, that wasn't the case for me maybe they didn't know i would end up a douchebag SJW because of my swollen amygdala maybe if they'd known there's a podcast to help protect me when i was 11 or 12 maybe my parents just didn't know Right mum?
