About this episode

The U.S. Air Force deployed a GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast, or MOAB, against an ISIS-K tunnel complex in Afghanistan’s Nangarhar Province. General John Nicholson confirmed the strike targeted a subterranean network allegedly constructed by the CIA during the Soviet-Afghan War. This escalation coincides with the testing of an inert B61-12 nuclear gravity bomb and the deployment of a naval armada toward the Korean Peninsula as tensions with Kim Jong Un reach a fever pitch.

In Berkeley, California, violent clashes erupted between anti-fascist groups and pro-Trump demonstrators, characterized by protesters throwing bagels and eggs during what observers described as live-action role playing. Meanwhile, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad dismissed reports of chemical weapon use in Khan Sheikhoun as a fabrication, despite claims from the White Helmets and scrutiny of the Bana Alabed Twitter account. In Turkey, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan moves toward a constitutional referendum to consolidate power within his 1,000-room presidential palace, while Hungary completes a second barbed-wire border fence to block the Western Balkan migrant route.

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak deconstruct the linguistic oddities of Easter Sunday and the German Lutheran origins of the Easter Hare. The duo examines the Dodge Challenger Demon’s 840-horsepower debut and the technical superiority of XLR connectors over USB microphones. The episode concludes with a comedic reflection on the "I Got Ants" audio mix and the ritual hazing of new Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch.

Easter Sunday Traditions and Religious Grammar

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak open the Easter Sunday episode from Austin and Silicon Valley. They discuss the linguistic curiosity of the phrase "He is risen" appearing on social media statuses. The conversation touches on the branding of Jesus Christ and the timing of military actions during a religious holiday.

Easter Bunny Origins, Hares, and German Lutheran Folklore

The history of the Easter Bunny is traced back to 1600s German Lutheran traditions where an "Easter Hare" judged the behavior of children. Differences between hares and bunnies are explained, noting that hares live above ground and run at high speeds. The tradition of colored eggs is linked to breaking the fast of Lent, while the hare's association with the Virgin Mary stems from ancient beliefs about its reproductive biology.

easter bunny· hare· german lutherans· lent· georg von frankenow· folklore

02:10 And, by the way, any trivia quiz that says the Easter bunny is from the 1700s is wrong. It's from the 1600s and it never was a bunny, it was a hare and there's a difference between hares and bunnies as different species of animal actually but it's easily confused because for example the jackrabbit which is very common in some parts of the country is actually a hare. Bunnies don't go like a bat out of hell. They usually go back into their little holes What is the difference between a bunny and a hare? It's a different species, but a hare has big legs to escape predators they run like crazy Now when they run they run in a straight line bunnies are the ones with holes, they live in a hole And when a predator comes they hustle down to the hole They do not run at high speeds like a hare does They just hustle to the hole

03:07 Yeah, and hares don't live underground like the bunnies do. There's other issues also hares have these huge ears that usually stick straight up. Yeah that's an issue. Well not for them... You said it was an issue! I'm agreeing that's a big issue big issue All right, Easter Bunny also... Yes? How did it come about how did this come about? The Easter Bunny I was just reading. The Easter Bunny also called the Easter Rabbit or Easter Hare is a folkloric figure and symbol of Easter depicted as a rabbit bringing easter eggs and the reason for the eggs was apparently during Lent in some areas eggs were forbidden Ah so that's what it was So you toss the eggs into the yard

03:49 They were forbidden and then you so they would hard boil them. The hunting for Easter eggs falls into some subtext. That's got to be a pagan thing, come on! Most of this stuff stems from that course but the idea was that since you can't eat eggs... You would hard-boil them and then eat him to break the fast And so what breakfast is named after that too, by the way? This is a typical originating among German Lutherans. The Easter Hare originally played the role of a judge evaluating whether children were good or disobedient in behavior at the start of this season of Easter tide

04:32 The Easter Bunny is sometimes depicted with clothes. In legend, the creature carries colored eggs in his basket candy and sometimes toys to the homes of the children such as shows similar to Santa Claus. They both bring gifts to children on the night of their respective holidays. The custom was first mentioned in Georg von Frankenow's... That's always those Scandinavians who are coming up with the kiddie stories German. The Ovis Pasha Boos, I think. About Easter eggs is the name of it in 1682 referring to a German tradition of an Easter hare bringing Easter eggs for children So this is interesting too The hare was a popular motif and medieval church In the medieval Church in ancient times It was widely believed as Pliny, Plutarch And others that they hair was a hermaphrodite

White House Easter Egg Roll Planning and Logistics

Reports from the New York Times suggest the Trump administration faced planning delays for the annual White House Easter Egg Roll. Despite rumors of a "select few" attending, historical data indicates the event draws approximately 35,000 people to the South Lawn. The commemorative wooden eggs are supplied by a company called Wells Wood and Turning.

05:28 You're not assuming my gender are you? The idea that hair could reproduce without loss of virginity led to an association with the Virgin Mary. Oh, okay! That makes sense. Anyway the plot thing is it but there is a rationale I think It's relatively new in history and I guess it caught on by the candy makers. Yeah, well there was a lot of consternation apparently the White House wasn't ready for the Easter egg roll this year The planning went all wrong. I've been following this for a few... Oh, that's interesting! I have not followed this. Yeah maybe for the whole week yeah it was like oh they didn't plan on it. I thought this was like a bogus thing anyway so I wouldn't follow it but then it comes from the New York Times and then you know it may still be bogus but at least is going to be believed

06:18 Let's see. No, not story being bogus that the whole idea of an Easter egg roll on the White House lawn with a select few people I've always thought was... Select few? Yeah! Okay Not open to me, I can't go to it It's typically let me see 30 thousand people That's not a select few 30 thousand people? Yeah apparently Oh, on the White House lawn? Apparently. I'm just reading history. Not possible that's more people than could fit on that lawn Here we go This is from The New York Times so shoot me Well what happened is there was a tweet FYI manufacturing deadlines for Easter eggs are near please reach out That was from Wells Wood and Turning

07:12 That's the company that supplies commemorative wooden eggs for the annual White House Easter egg roll, according to The New York Times. The 138-year old celebration that has drawn 35000 people to the South Lawn in recent years. Select few my butt! So you go in there and they have these wooden eggs? Yeah And the kids don't start throwing them at each other hitting each other on the head Yes...that's how they learn to throw eggs and bagels in Berkeley Oh okay Ouch. And I'll play the CBS... Let me play the CBS report about your backyard, your beat! I want to take you now to Berkeley California where we're seeing violent demonstrations underway at this hour These are clashes they're competing between political rallies two of them in the city some are pro-Trump The others are anti Trump joined on the phone by KCBS radio reporter Jenna Lane I like how they've changed anti fa

Berkeley Protests, Antifa Clashes, and Police Response

Violent clashes occurred in Berkeley, California, between pro-Trump demonstrators and anti-fascist groups. Media reports describe protesters throwing bagels and eggs while engaging in "live action role playing" or LARPing. Berkeley police officials defended their hands-off approach during the skirmishes, stating they would review video surveillance to issue future arrest warrants.

berkeley· antifa· pro-trump· jenna lane· byron white· larping

08:08 into anti-Trump. That's kind of cool from CBS, it used to be they were antifa for anti fascists now it's just anti Trump. Antifa never was a good term that's the term that's what they call themselves I know the term and you see it all the time but it's just like...I don't know why but it just seems lame These are clashes, they're competing between political rallies. Two of them in the city some are pro-Trump the others are anti Trump joined on the phone by KCBS radio... I like how you have protesters on both sides it's kind of interesting I protest, no! I protest. Ah, I protest louder. You'd think that the two of them would cancel each other out and there wouldn't be a protest at all? Not quite now let's listen to these LARPers. The others are anti-Trump joined on the phone by KCBS radio reporter Jenna Lane in Berkeley. Jenna we're seeing these violent images it appears to be a dumpster that's being pushed around what can you tell us?

09:04 There have been a number of things that have unfolded over this changing situation throughout the morning. It all started when some supporters of President Trump announced plans to have several speakers address the crowd, while a group calling itself mostly anti-fascist showed up around 10 o'clock to make sure that people would know that not everyone in Berkeley supported these speakers. Police set up some plastic barricades and no man's land between those two crowds. They shouted at each other for the better part of a couple of hours. Some eggs and bagels were tossed from one side to the other, but it was mostly peaceful except for the shouting." You know I watched this... What does she mean by mostly pe- uh peaceful? These guys are swinging! Well first of all just like CNN did with the um

09:54 Or CNN, all of corporate media did with the missile launch. I think we have to have M80s Just you know any anytime we're talking about an m80 blowing off somehow When i saw this and i saw it been yeah there was either a drone shot or a helicopter shot And they're all fighting in the battle of the garbage bin You know, we used to do this when I was 14 and we'd go into a... We'd throw rocks at each other and then the cops would show up. And we all go home and maybe one guy would get a bloody nose or something. It was like whatever. We did this all the time that's what kids do but now it's broadcast on YouTube and it's picked up by... Well also now kids are more...

10:35 adults, closer to being adults. They're not like 12 year olds? No they're not 12 year olds but once again the black block with their hoodies and larping around and it's just pathetic. You used the word larping twice now what does larping mean to you? We've discussed this before live action role playing okay We've discussed this. This is what these kids are doing, they go to... You just casually say it as though everyone knows what it means? Well I think a lot of people need to know. A lot of you don't know. Well I'm just telling ya. But anyway they go to Hot Topic in the mall on the weekend and get their perfect black scarf and their black hoodies, their backpack. Too many bagels! Yeah then they post like this one girl who posted on the bag

11:17 Yeah, I'm getting ready to protest these damn a-hole Trump evil fascists. I'm gonna come back with 100 Nazi scalps! And that was the girl who got punched in the face... I hope you saw that. Sounds like from her attitude, she's she's bound to get punched in the face exactly life while she punched a guy in the throat and he punched her in the face is like OK if you're going to go there and now of course she's in the hospital with a concussion they have a GoFundMe for $80000 because you know, oh please yeah I have it. I thought that was kind of interesting your Berkeley police man those guys are laid back

11:56 Now as we look at these images it looks like there's some trash in the street, maybe somebody is starting a fire with that. Earlier we were showing video of two groups that looked like fighting each other and there are bunch of people which... I'm just livening this report up for us. ...wearing black. We saw the San Francisco Chronicle describing those folks as anarchists Are those people who typically show up to some of these protests and cause trouble? It's something that we've seen in the past, however I'll leave it to those groups to explain who they are and what they're about. And now we're looking at some of the video from earlier where one of those fights happened. Can you tell us any more about injuries? So, the two injuries that were reported to us... Two injuries! ...one involved an officer who was exposed to what we believe is tear gas when a member of the crowd put it out into the park Another person was sprayed with what we believe is bear spray or pepper spray type bear spray

12:54 Both of those people have been since treated and released. Officer, when we look at these images you don't see police getting involved trying to break up the fight why is that? Because because this cop's like a bunch of moron kids go ahead do whatever you want who cares I imagine that some of what you may be talking about is when the some other people went out into the adjacent street Yes As I mentioned before controlled points trying to limit the weapons that people had when they're having their peaceful demonstration. When those... Peaceful? These guys, I don't know what this guy was just gave in there! This guy's smoking crack man. It is peaceful bro. It's all good. Weapons that people had when they were having their peaceful demonstration. Yeah. When those uh, when that controlled area broke free

13:49 that presented a particular challenge for us. Will you go back and watch some of the video do you think? Yeah, he said us... They were doing nothing! They were just hanging out. Is she a cop? Yes! Oh okay. Yes this is the spokeshole for Byron White. He's a bullet craptus guy! Uh huh uh huh I'll say. Let me finish him up here. Hey where'd he go? That's odd what happened here oh are you still there John yeah i'm here yeah something happened here hold on a second My controller broke loose. That's odd, hold on... Reboot it Oh man! This is not good. Aw crap What happened? I don't know It was like all of a sudden my controller doesn't work Okay now it's back We'll continue Will you go back and watch some of the video do you think and try to follow up and make additional arrests

14:47 Certainly. Just as in past demonstrations, the police department continues its investigation after the event. The Burka Police aren't just responsible for what happens in the park but for the entire city and we're going to review any video surveillance recordings from the area as well as videos of people that public send into it and perhaps send out some arrest warrants for those people as well. No. Okay so... No matter what the mainstream media told you, not a big deal. The cops don't think it's a big deal It was a bunch of kids in garbage bins my goodness and that's what they seem to like doing kicking over trash cans John I know they dropped this huge bomb on Afghanistan And killed a bunch of people there's a bunch of death and destruction all over the place but these guys are going back and forth about

Tax Day Protests and Global Military Tensions

Protesters gathered on Tax Day to demand the release of President Trump's tax returns. The hosts compare these modern protests to 1970s anarchy movements in Amsterdam, finding the current focus on tax returns trivial compared to escalating tensions with North Korea. A U.S. naval armada is reportedly heading toward the Korean Peninsula as saber-rattling increases.

tax day· tax returns· north korea· armada· amsterdam· anarchy

15:47 Whether they like Trump or not. Yeah, it's pathetic. They're setting garbage bins on fire No, not even they're kicking them over Anarchy! I remember anarchy in Amsterdam in the 70s and this was the time of the sex pistols And we all had- We all, ALL OF US...we had our black leather jackets with a A and circle around it. RUH! ANARCHY! And then the MME would come that's basically the riot cops And everyone would be like, except people like me would be like, okay not so anarchy anymore. But people were really into it and you know they got there was some real fighting going on back in the day this is nothing this is sad and it was about establishment a new world order

16:36 And you know, not this bull crap. And of course this was on tax day what all these protests were about was the president has to show his tax returns that's what this is. This is what gets me the most and there are all these chants, you know? It's about showing us taxes People are dying left and right. There's war about to break out here and there the North Koreans are saber-rattling we're doing we have a flotilla of Ships heading their way millions of dollars Armada and I'm gonna take millions of dollars, and these people are protesting the guy not showing his accents But that it yeah And that is also the only thing that was really on the news was that because hey

GBU-43 MOAB Deployment in Afghanistan Cave Complexes

The U.S. military dropped a GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast (MOAB), known as the "Mother of All Bombs," on an ISIS tunnel complex in eastern Afghanistan. General John Nicholson confirmed the tactical strike was intended to collapse caves and eliminate fighters without civilian casualties. CNN and Deutsche Welle provided coverage featuring local Afghans describing the massive concussion of the blast.

moab· afghanistan· isis· barbara starr· general nicholson· cnn

17:22 Although I did since you brought it up. I brought up a great report from CNN about the bomb, the mother of all bombs And they had some local color, some local flair they added to this report with Barbara Starr who was of course the CNN Pentagon reporter. The largest conventional bomb ever dropped in combat exploded above a complex of caves and tunnels in a remote area of eastern Afghanistan By the way I'm sure you saw that video That was some badass video wasn't it? Of that thing dropping Well couple of things

17:58 One, it was so I guess so bright that it toasted the CCD. It inverted yeah, completely inverted So you never really got to see what the hell was going on with that That was a bad...it was adjusted poorly they should have...I don't know what they could've done better but.. I didn't learn anything by watching that bomb Nah, you saw the concussion spread Oh yeah, you did see a little of that. That was cool. Dan the top US commander adamant the mission was only about killing ISIS. The timing of the use of this weapon... ...was simply the appropriate tactical moment against the proper target to use this particular munition

18:40 So it is not related to any outside events. It does deliver a psychological message to ISIS, one military official... Now listen to this, listen to this! Tell CNN the massive bomb is powerful enough to destroy nine city blocks. It will level that area and provide an unbelievable amount of concussion today area so it will collapse caves, it will blow up things If you're alive afterwards, you're gonna have perforated eardrums and a lot of trauma. I like how the guy laughs that's kind of cool Perforated and that's just the least of your problems Get that guy guys evil man Collapse caves it will blow up things and it will if you're alive afterwards, you're gonna have perforated eardrums and a lot

19:38 General Nicholson says it all went according to plan. Caves and tunnels destroyed, Afghan officials say dozens of ISIS fighters killed. We had persistent surveillance over the area before during and after the operation And now we have Afghan and US forces on the site, and see no evidence of civilian casualties nor have there been any reports of civilian casualties. The bomb had been in Afghanistan since early January. Oh! Whoa... Hold on a second that's interesting That was during President Obama's term? Early January Okay just so we know who brought the bomb in In case anyone was wondering

20:21 I don't know if that was necessarily a Trump decision to bring it in. It's on the site and see no evidence of civilian casualties, nor have there been any reports of civilian casualties. The bomb had been in Afghanistan since early January. Nicholson signed the final order authorizing the mission just 24 hours before the bomb dropped Afterwards, local Afghans described the enormity of the blast. Now this is what's cool it turns out that local Afghanis are just like locals here in Austin or well maybe not Berkeley but they talk to us actually yeah they're kind of like Californians in the locals there. Afterwards, local Afghans described the enormity of the blast. Last night's bomb was really huge

21:12 Hey, man last night's bomb was really huge. Hey man It was really huge when it dropped it was shaking everywhere dude It was fucking crazy now I am really high a lot of firepower was used but the estimate is there still upwards of 800 Isis fighters inside Afghanistan last nights bomb was really huge Enough with that translation To really translate the whole emotion, will you? Will you do me a favor and make sure that we really feel what he's saying. Okay. Well I had to add a question because I put it in the newsletter actually... Why were these caves there?

CHAPTER 07 / 48 Discussion

CIA Cave Construction and Afghanistan Mineral Rights

Speculation arises regarding the origins of the Afghanistan cave complexes, with suggestions they were built by the CIA for the Mujahideen during the Soviet-Afghan War. The discussion explores whether the bombing serves a secondary purpose related to securing mineral rights for lithium and other rare earth elements. Russia's claim of possessing a "Father of All Bombs" (FOAB) that is four times more powerful is also noted.

cia· mujahideen· lithium· mining· poppies· father of all bombs

21:51 This is supposedly the CIA. Didn't the CIA build them? Yeah, I heard the CIA built them that's what... There was even a- What would the CIA do it with? A couple of questions come to mind one why are they still there we've been in Afghanistan for 10 years! Well this is the troubling part so the way I- Ten years and why did they build the caves?! Well the caves were probably built back in the day for the Mujahideen when we were funding them to knock out the Russkies That's I think how... I'm assuming that too, but why are they still there? Well we clearly did not really want to smoke them out when George W. Bush said we're gonna smoke them out otherwise We would have done this! We've had this massive air ordnance bomb for a while blast. Yeah, it was called. We've had this for a while It's troubling and I would like to know-I agree Why didn't we use this before? Why don't we blow up those caves earlier

22:45 when we were actually at war there. Now, we're just doing it to get the mineral rights which I think is what part of the deal is and opium let's not forget the poppies So there's no poppies in this area, but it might be some lithium. Yeah it's the... I don't know where the lithium is but the lithium is there somewhere well maybe they were just dropped a bomb to soften up the place for mining that was my next thought is that maybe the lithium is right there It's not just lithium you know we've talked about this many many years ago it's you know up to a trillion dollars worth of let's see lithium cerium neodymium samarium gadolinium

23:24 Preside you mean maybe the caves are actually mines ammonium ad That have been sucked to dry and now they need to blow up the whole place so they can do this that's great being a mining Let me tell you when it comes to excavating. This is the way to go That's for sure that was really really interesting oh, man Well, those bombs. The other thing that's kind of unique is the argument about the price of the bomb that has been going on in the internets Yeah it was like oh $16 million dollars and then I've seen much higher amounts but I think 16 sounds right No it can't be higher than 16 million because I think those numbers are solid

24:09 Those that's based on some similar bomb that would they built 20 of at the cost of three hundred and fifteen million dollars And I figured this is about the same, but then somebody else comes on so no it's a hundred seventy thousand dollars a pop Why would a bomb? I don't care how big it is just you know Yeah, if you take R&D into account. I'm sure you can come up with crazy numbers I mean yeah You're sitting on out your sitting under 3 million dollar toilet seat in the Pentagon We know this and that's not just the order as to R&D Well, that's why it makes me think the bomb is probably more expensive than 117 thousand or 170 thousand other people have estimated. Yes if you amortize it but I don't think the Pentagon does much... If you amortize it doubles! ...I don't think the Pentagon does much when it comes to accounting they're not really well known for it and on the other hand this action could have easily been hey man okay let's move on from the serious story what can we do?

25:05 Oh, I know. We got that thing we moved there in January? Yeah let's... yeah, I tell you what let's blow it up over those caves no one cares." That's also possible. Yes it is also possible as a distraction And at this point I would think the military would be creating these distractions on their own accord they don't need any help from anybody like well... Meanwhile of course the Russians said, Well, we've got to FOAB The father of all bombs four times bigger No they said that?! Yeah! I think it went four times bigger. Well play the report i have here, this is an overseas report of course on Deutsche Welle and it's on this bomb. Aerial footage released by the US military shows massive explosive force

Media Pool Reporting and Translation Discrepancies

A comparison of news reports from CNN and Deutsche Welle reveals the use of identical soundbites from Afghan witnesses. The hosts critique the "cheap jack" nature of modern media translation and pool reporting. They suggest that the emotional weight of the reporting is often manufactured through specific audio "sweetening" and translation choices.

deutsche welle· cnn· pool reporting· translation· afghanistan

25:51 The largest non-nuclear weapon in the American arsenal targeted a series of underground tunnels and an IS ammunition cache in eastern Afghanistan near the Pakistani border. This is where Washington believes the vast majority of IS fighters in the country are hiding And the head of US forces in Afghanistan says, the move to drop this weapon was tactical not political. This weapon was he was the appropriate weapon used against this target and prior to this we didn't have such a target First tested in 2003 The GBU-43 dubbed the mother of all bombs produces a blast as powerful as 11 tons of TNT

26:36 Those on the ground attested to the bomb's power. Last night's bomb was really huge when it dropped everything was really shaking. Wait a minute, they got the same guy except they didn't translate it right? They translated with less drama Yeah that's really sad attested to the bomb's power. But it is also exactly the same report, it's the exact same sound bite so this is pool reporting at best Well, that means that CNN used it too. Yes! So where did it come from? Maybe our spooks on the ground are like hey you know what we'll give it to you. CNN maybe... There was no bomb Also possible. CNN of course being a cheap jack Mickey Mouse operation they're like yeah we don't have anybody translate can you guys just translate and then Pentagon goes cool last night's bombs

27:31 was really huge. That's how Deutsche Welle, they got money see they got money so they translated normally last night's bomb was really huge when it dropped everything was really shaking I'm telling you i'm right about this that killed around 70 or 80 of them this is a positive move that IS fighters have been eliminated no civilians were there at all the use of the weapon comes just a week after the US conducted air strikes in Syria Another show of force from an American administration that suddenly seems more willing to intervene. I can't find the article, thought i'd saved it somewhere but there was word that simultaneously we US United States nation Gitmo nation people uh... that we were testing yet another bomb

Inert Nuclear Gravity Bomb and Kinetic Energy Weapons

The U.S. Air Force recently announced a successful test of an inert B61-12 nuclear gravity bomb. While the test occurred a month prior, the announcement coincided with other military displays. Additionally, the U.S. Army is reportedly developing new kinetic energy weapons to counter Russian nuclear technology.

28:21 We were testing some like anti-gravity thing or something. The hell was that? It was so no, it's a gravity bomb doesn't mean anti gravity what's the reason that means it gets pulled to the ground is not in other words is not like as cruise missile is just about they call it a gravity bomb because most bombs are that you drop them well the MOAB is also I got the little report oh good good what is it very short report Apparently we tested this little button. It's a mini nuke yeah, and nuclear nukelet nuclear Yeah, I got it new weapon you were what weapon RT That's it meanwhile the US Air Force has published a report on its successful test of an inert Nuclear gravity bomb and a what inner

29:07 Inert oh inert inert. Thank you another words didn't blow up. I thank you I so it's just a dumb barge is there just drop some metal out of the plane watch this report on its successful test of an inert nuclear gravity bomb The test happened a month ago, but only now has been made public Oh a month ago? I thought they'd done it Just at the same time okay. I'm wrong Well, that doesn't... No they announced it at the same time. That was a coincidence. Ah okay. Inert! There's a second part of that. Hey I'm sorry hey baby don't worry its inert just the tip nothing can happen so I'm gonna use that word a lot Meanwhile the US Air Force has published a report on its successful test of an inert nuclear gravity bomb The test happened a month ago but only now has been made public

29:56 Also, in fact the US Army is also planning to add a new kinetic energy weapon to its arsenal. It's being presented as a tool to counter Russian nuclear technology. Okay first So I've decided that an inert nuclear gravity bomb is pretty much the same as throwing a pizza stone out of a helicopter. Yeah, but in your case yes! Did you get it home finally? You dragged it home? I needed a forklift to get it into the house And uh...I like this energy weapon. Ooh, my favorite kind It's a rail gun Yeah probably No it isn't they showed it

CHAPTER 10 / 48 Discussion

Rail Gun Technology and Tactical Nuclear Yields

The mechanics of rail gun technology are discussed, focusing on the use of massive magnetic fields to launch projectiles at 9,000 feet per second. The conversation compares the 11-ton TNT yield of the MOAB to the 13-kiloton Hiroshima bomb and the Davy Crockett tactical nuke. The hosts clarify the significant difference between tons and kilotons in explosive yields.

rail gun· magnetic field· tnt· hiroshima· davy crockett

30:36 How does a rail gun work? A rail gun is... Please, how does it work. Okay you have these rails and then you have like an unbelievable magnetic field Right it was magnetic That takes the size of the energy to create the magnetic fields about the size of a ship which means its very difficult weapon to move around And then it charges this thing up but its just a piece, just like a rock Pizza stone right and it goes flying down this thing, and it comes out at 9000 miles an hour That's the ball theory right there. It may be anyway comes to nine thousand miles an hour And they're just that has a big shockwave and I guess even if it passes by something the shockwaves enough to disturb Disturbant destroy things 9000 did you say? 9000 miles per hour yes 9000 miles an hour

31:36 So that thing's breaking the sound barrier out of the chute. Oh, well a bullet does that maybe How about 9000 feet per second? How about that? That sounds Little little more reasonable than 9,000 miles per hour. No That's what I'm just telling you where to sit on the screen when they cuz this is an example of our cheese horrible I don't like their reporting style because they they talk about what you heard the intro and then they now They do a bunch of graphics now They give us a slideshow And they got the rail gun that guys loading it so good guy wearing his suit Loading it this is no it's not like a field not field gears on a ship. That's a badass weapon right there, you think? My goodness! Okay well stay away from that the but I was looking at this thing was 11 tons of TNT this big MOAB I think we have a bigger

32:33 thing than that, the kind of thing you have to drag along behind you and a... There's just some other kind of bomb. I can't remember the name- You mean like one of those signs? Like drink Budweiser? It was like this- No it was the bomb that was discussed in the movie, within one of the outbreak, one of those movies where they're going to blow up the entire town and some sort of a gas bomb of some sort but i was looking at 11 000 pounds or eleven Tons of tnt the hiroshima bomb was 13,000 tons of tnt and that's considered as bombed is too small nobody wants those anymore yeah And that was a discrepancy that I kept reading to like it's almost as big as the fat boy. I'm like no you're forgetting three zeros Yeah exactly kilotons a little different than tons

33:24 Right, tons is 11 tons. The Fat Boy was 22 kilotons so it was a factor of like the three zeros There's also this little bitty bomb that apparently I'm looking at this list of some bombs the Davy Crockett it out there It's a variable yield tactical nuke It's 51 pounds, lightest ever deployed by the United States. .01 kilotons and that is the size of the bombs that North Korea is developing. Yeah although let's just stop there for a second because

CHAPTER 11 / 48 Discussion

North Korea Missile Misfire and Pyongyang Military Parade

North Korea attempted a missile launch that reportedly failed immediately after takeoff. This followed a massive military parade in Pyongyang celebrating the birth of Kim Il-sung, where new long-range ballistic missiles and ICBMs were displayed. CBS reporter Ben Tracy provided on-the-ground coverage of the parade, noting the defiant rhetoric from North Korean officials toward the Trump administration.

north korea· pyongyang· kim jong un· icbm· ben tracy· missile test

34:00 I'm getting very tired of just reports that cite unnamed people and have no evidence, even in the form of like the crappy video we saw of Moab. Which...I agree! For the amount of money we spent whether it was 16 million or 160 million We need better-better video. I paid for that I feel we deserve better video. Come on, we got FLIR, we can do much better than this. Much better! We've got videos of the bombing of Hiroshima that are better than this But no, no, we don't get that So here is the report and there was a pool guy although it might have been CNN who was doing a pool

34:40 During the big celebration there in Pyongyang and we've seen all of these what I what I deem to be Mainly just empty metal tubes. I don't know what's in there? I don't know if this is a new sophisticated rocket, I have no idea It looks like a bunch of sheet metal with rivets Here's the report. To begin with breaking news from North Korea, a U.S military official confirms North Korea attempted to launch a missile off its east coast Sunday morning local time but the missile blew up almost immediately The type of missile is still being assessed The defiant misfire follows another show of force Saturday Now here they've just said something and not even with a source Hold on say stop Did you hear what she said? She said a defiant misfire

35:26 No, I didn't hear that. Damn. What is a defiant misfire? It means that the rocket did not want to do it I'm not firing! To begin with breaking news from North Korea, a US military official confirms North Korea attempted to launch a missile off its east coast Sunday morning local time but the missile blew up almost immediately. The type of missile is still being assessed the defiant misfire follows another sh- That is a very weird sentence, I agree with you You could say the defiant missile because literally the missiles do not want to be fired but the defiant... misfire?

36:01 Well, obviously she's remixing things up. The defiant part is that they were told not to do anything and they did something. And so that was the defiant part but then it was a misfire. So she puts the two together and you get this stupid phrase, defiance misfire, which means nothing. You know what? This is the Easter crew The Easter crew. Yeah, it's very hard to get anything from corporate media during Easter or any other vacation because they're gone. ...for Saturday in which the isolated communist nation put ballistic missiles on parade including some we haven't seen before more now from Ben Tracy inside the North Korean capital Pyongyang

36:45 When it comes to military parades, North Korea certainly knows how to put on a show. Crew stepping soldiers rolling tanks and rocket launchers It's an elaborate scene involving hundreds of thousands of people that would be the envy of any Super Bowl halftime show Any time North Korea has one of these military parades, U.S. military experts closely examine what they're parading down the street They are looking for signs that North Korea is closer to developing a long-range nuclear missile that can reach the United States And the signs were troubling For the first time, North Korea displayed new long range ballistic missiles That can be launched from both land and sea

37:28 They are believed to be the same missiles successfully tested in February and use solid fuel and our hold on a second I just want to hear if that's the same sound effect of the missile of the they were using for the tomahawks It sounds a lot like it. Let's just do a comparison here. That's annoying with say It's exactly the same John there sweetening the audio listen these guys they never end here They are believed to be the same missiles. God damn it, let me get the fire here we go Time North Korea displayed new long-range ballistic missiles that can be launched from both land and sea No, it's a little bit are believed to be the same missiles successfully tested in February And use solid fuel and our hard to detect before launch

38:22 And South Korea's military believes these large missiles at the end of the parade are a new type of intercontinental ballistic missile, that North did not previously possess. In a speech at the parade, a high-ranking North Korean official accused the Trump administration of threatening North Korea and said if attacked they will respond with all out war including nuclear weapons. That confidence is shared by many here in Pyongyang When you see all of the military troops and all of the weapons go by what does that mean to you? He said it made me feel North Korea is strong enough to defeat any enemy, even the United States. North Korea still says it wants peace and not war but if it comes to war they're ready to fight. Yeah so unnamed sources we have no video of this thing just rolling by I've seen these big tubes before

CHAPTER 12 / 48 Discussion

Preemptive Strike Risks and Regional Geopolitics

Expert Gunter Knabe analyzes the "tinderbox" situation on the Korean Peninsula, warning that a U.S. preemptive strike would lead to a regional catastrophe. The proximity of Seoul to the North Korean border makes military action extremely risky. There is concern that any "warning action" similar to the strike in Syria could draw China into a direct conflict.

gunter knabe· seoul· preemptive strike· china· syria

39:22 Yeah, those tubes look like they could be made out of wood. I think they went to meet logs It's Lincoln logs They could be who knows and the guy says oh this is new we've never seen this blog before And we're gonna use it on you You know this whole thing is just a show but there's some good reporting I got that couple of clips here I got the North Korea which one do I got here don't you Deutsche Welle or you got yeah issues that that's a good one okay Okay, expert. Well the situation on the Korean peninsula is being described as a tinderbox. Gunter Knabe was a long time DW correspondent in the region he's been analyzing this conflict for decades thank you for being with us this evening. Pyongyang has threatened to strike back before in your assessment is it different this time?

40:10 No, not really different. It's a normal kind of procedure that any action provokes or has a reaction from North Korea and this time maybe the vocabulary is a little bit straighter or stronger. That simply because also President Trump is using strong words. He's a fan of strong language but if the US really resorted to a preemptive strike what would that mean for the region? Well, any war means catastrophe. And in case President Trump would take some military action... First of all, all the possibilities he has are limited in scope because if it's real war, it would be a catastrophe for just the whole peninsula and the region would be on fire. So hopefully he does not take any military action

41:06 Or if he thinks he can have some, let's say warning action just like in Syria that is also of big danger because he would draw in then China. That was the whole point to draw in China? Yeah but the problem is this is Seoul Korea so it was like 10 feet from the border with North Korea and they couldn't get in there fast enough before the North Koreans just blow it to smithereens with an A-bomb. Now here's a report that was kind of interesting, this was CBS, I think yours was CBS too but it was a different report This is the North Korea 2017 one and

CHAPTER 13 / 48 Discussion

Kim Jong Un and Nuclear Test Threats

North Korean Vice Foreign Minister Han Song-ryeol stated that the country is prepared to conduct its sixth nuclear test at the leadership's discretion. He warned that North Korea would use nuclear weapons for a preemptive strike if they felt a real threat from the United States. China has urged both sides to cease threats, stating there would be no winners in a war.

kim jong un· han song-ryeol· nuclear test· preemptive strike· china

41:48 North Korea 2017 too and the two is The one that's the most interesting of these two cliffs because this is David Martin who works out of the Pentagon He said that that older guy who looks like it just looks like a he looks like if you're gonna describe me It looked like I not only CIA guy, but a CIA supervisor Who was looking for TPS reports? He's looking for TPS reports, but he always has to me when he comes on. I listen to him with it in mind that I'm listening to a the official story. Let's play one first and then we go to two. Korea, a major holiday in the reclusive communist nation The anniversary of the birth of founder Kim Il-sung And there is concern around the world that his grandson dictator Kim Jong Un will use the occasion to flex his military muscle and conduct another nuclear test in defiance of the US Ben Tracy's in the North Korean capital

42:49 Pyongyang. And there's your defiance word again North Korea has already staged four ballistic missile tests this year and despite warnings from the US and China, North Korea's vice foreign minister Han Song-ryeol says his country will conduct another nuclear test its sixth overall Do you plan to conduct that test in the coming days? The nuclear test will take place at a time, at a place that the Supreme Leadership deems necessary. He accuses the Trump administration of provoking a military conflict by sending a Navy strike force to the Korean Peninsula and continuing US military exercises in South Korea. Do you believe the United States wants to attack North Korea?

43:35 If the U.S. comes up with a dangerous military option, then the first card is in our hands. We'll deal with it with our preemptive strike." This means war. So you're saying if you feel that North Korea's going to be attacked, you will use nuclear weapons? Of course! China, which is North Korea's main ally and trading partner said today that there would be no winners in a war and both sides should stop threatening each other. North Korea says they are ready for both war and peace and their vice minister suddenly spoke English to make his point clear. I hope for the best but prepare for the worst

CHAPTER 14 / 48 Discussion

U.S. Military Strategy and Elephant Walks

Defense Secretary Jim Mattis is pursuing a diplomatic approach with international partners to diffuse North Korean tensions. The U.S. Air Force performed an "elephant walk" with 22 F-15s at Kadena Air Base in Japan as a show of force. Military analysts suggest that while the U.S. could launch a devastating attack, it cannot fully protect Seoul from retaliatory salvos.

jim mattis· elephant walk· f-15· kadena air base· guam

44:16 The vice minister did stress that North Korea would not launch a preemptive strike unless it felt a real threat of attack from the United States. Tomorrow is a major holiday here in North Korea and there is some concern that the country might use the opportunity to launch new missiles or conduct a nuclear test. Ben Tracy and Pyongyang, thanks. So what do you think just presuming for a moment this is tactically smart? What do you think the game plan is? with North Korea. The game plan from whose perspective? Trump, El Presidente Well he definitely is not going to do anything because Mattis of all people they showed you know him

45:02 backing off as much as possible because they know that North Korea has the upper hand, because 20 million people in Seoul, Korea and our military base would just be a mess. And they could do it and they would do it again to keep preparing for it but it seems to me as we go back and we've talked about this for years, North Koreans are just kind of playing different kinds of games because the guy said if the reporter that CBS report That's actually in Pyongyang which to me was a breakthrough. I never saw this guy roaming around before

45:38 But he's over there and he speaks Korean, so he is the go-to guy. He says they're prepared for peace! Well that was what Don has told us... We've heard that it's all they want. They just want armistice? Yes but they have this face thing going on where they would like to have a meetup Well, they should get our meetup.org and organize it properly. They should! Put it in meetup.org and maybe something will happen. They could do it at the Zephyr Museum I mean would be beautiful Yes which we'll talk about later which I promised last time we never did So let's now listen to David Martin who will give us the current status of things as far as I'm concerned How might the US respond to another North Korean test? David Martin is at The Pentagon

46:25 The Air Force calls it an elephant walk. 22 F-15s armed and ready to scramble from Kadena airbase in Japan, 900 miles from North Korea's capital It was conducted earlier this week and recorded by Air Force cameras for North Korea to see. We reconfigured every one of those F-15s with live ordnance inside of 24 hours, and put them back on status ready to fight. But notice Brigadier General Barry Cornish is wearing a flak jacket. The air base at Kadena is in range of North Korean missiles as are 25 million people in the South Korean capital of Seoul

47:03 The US could launch a devastating attack but could not stop the North Korean military from firing off enough salvos to wreak horrendous destruction. which is why Defense Secretary Jim Mattis sounds so diplomatic. In regards to North Korea, we are working with international partners in order to diffuse the situation If North Korea conducts another underground nuclear test or launches more missiles into the sea U.S would likely limit its reaction to a show of force sending B-1 bombers from Guam to fly along along the coast and bringing in an aircraft carrier battle group. However, if North Korea were to launch an intercontinental ballistic missile toward the U.S., that might trigger a military response in the form of a cyber attack.

CHAPTER 15 / 48 Discussion

Cyber Attack Threats and Power Grid Protection

Former CIA Director James Woolsey is working with DARPA and BAE Systems to map a system capable of detecting cyber attacks on the U.S. electric grid. The project aims to create alternative communication networks if the primary grid is compromised. The hosts express skepticism about the timeline, noting the system won't be ready until 2020, and discuss the vulnerability of major internet backbones like Verizon and Comcast.

james woolsey· darpa· bae systems· cyber attack· power grid

47:48 For now the Trump administration is counting on China to pressure North Korea into giving up its nuclear weapons program. But if that doesn't work, they will turn to military options One officer told me when this crowd says all options are on the table They mean it they really meet it Anthony Martin at the Pentagon fans David yeah in the many mainstream newspapers reported that North Korea and Iran now threatening to take out parts of the United States electric grid through a cyber attack or atmospheric nuclear blast. The Pentagon is taking steps to both protect the nation's communications and power lifeline. Can you give us some more money while we're at that? Well, the money is going to James Woolsey

48:39 Woolsey, former CIA director. I guess his he's got a consulting group there and now he's working with DARPA Actually DARPA has charged BAE Systems to quote map a system that can detect a cyber attack and gin up an alternative communications network for military and civilian use if the grid is fried That's that's the literal text these guys read they're reading too much science fiction Yes Yes, yeah the grid got fried man. God fried we gotta go outside me There's electrical there's electrical line and it's just I mean I guess I've got news for you melted the in the internet Was built to gin up an alternative communications route? I should say instead of your word network That that this is the whole reason it exists Is it could take that kind of hit and still work around around it now We got to have a new one

49:36 But it won't be ready until 2020. The internet is not as robust as it was originally, since they put these huge backbones in and rely on them for most of the activity. Just take out Verizon and we're done! Actually, if you blew up May West and took out Verizon and Comcast. You have maybe five targets. And blow up Am6 while your at it just for the fun. As long as Sonic is still working I'm good. So blow those guys up with 5 somehow. But its not going to take down the grid or do a lot of damage but

CHAPTER 16 / 48 Discussion

Diplomatic Solutions for North and South Korea

The discussion shifts to the possibility of President Trump negotiating a peace deal to reunify North and South Korea, similar to the German model. Citing insights from Don Gregg, the hosts argue that the military-industrial complex benefits from continued tension to sell weapons to South Korea. The political vacuum following the impeachment of South Korean President Park Geun-hye complicates potential negotiations.

donald trump· don gregg· military industrial complex· park geun-hye· reunification

50:16 It's not that bad. I mean, it's not good but here it is let's go back to the square one which we've been talking about especially since you have the contact with Don. Why doesn't one president step up Or is he gonna lose face? Well, step up and have a meeting with these guys and say okay what do we have to do to work together. This is the great negotiator Trump What do we have to do to work together And then close ranks on that make peace tell them they can you know They can do research or whatever on their nuke thing whatever they want to do But let's start making plans To hook up North Korea and South Korea as one nation The way they did with East Germany

51:01 Oh please, North Korea. Just swipe right! I don't see any reason that can be done. Instead of the saber rattling both sides, oh, boom, boom, boom! You recall what Don said? My uncle Don, Don Gregg he said it's for the military industrial complex is to sell crap to South Korea now the problem with that now... They sell a lot of crap to South Korea That's the problem Which they don't even want South Korea doesn't even want it No, South Korea would just as soon find a way to join up with North Korean and this bullcrap Right, but now that Park is out what's gonna happen? This is this is why it's different and interesting. Who makes the call to buy something? Who are we selling to? That's right! Hey I love the sales tactic But who are we selling to who's the buyer now? If I was the president great great tactic Fantastic who's the buyer What do you mean the buyers been kicked out of office well who's the buyer then who's the buyer now there's no other reason

52:02 I don't know. This is the dumbest thing ever and if all hell breaks loose a lot of people are gonna get killed Oh, there's that we're kind of used to that. I mean there were whole bunch of people killed in Syria No one even talked about it these well here's my favorite story this was on CBS They don't have a clip and I thought I did but I don't So they play the bomb. This is on CBS, they do this back-to-back stories that start with a Moab and they say oh and then the numbers of dead are tripled we thought it was 34 now it turns out to be like 92 hmmm... And then they said then they go to the next story A car bomb in Aleppo killed 100. Yeah, done! And so I'm thinking wait a minute we spent what how many millions of dollars to kill 92 people? We could have said that put in the news there could send them on a trip to Disneyland

CHAPTER 17 / 48 Discussion

Aleppo Convoy Bombing and White Helmets

A car bomb targeting a convoy of evacuees near Aleppo, Syria, killed over 100 people. The White Helmets reported removing bodies from the scene, while state media provided lower casualty counts. The victims were residents from pro-regime villages who had been stalled in a transfer deal. The hosts contrast the high death toll of this "cheap" car bomb with the expensive MOAB strike in Afghanistan.

aleppo· syria· white helmets· evacuees· car bomb

52:52 saved a lot of money and meanwhile some crappy car bomb, some guy with a car bomb throws it together for 50 cents or whatever he can find laying around at IEDs puts it in the car and kills 100. This doesn't sound like good use of our money why don't we get some car bombers to build these bombs for us? The death toll continues to climb after a bomb blast hit a convoy of evacuees waiting to enter Aleppo in Syria The Syrian civil defence, also known as the White Helmets said they removed 100 bodies from the scene of the explosion. State media put the toll at 39 with dozens more wounded

53:32 The victims are believed to be from buses carrying residents evacuated from pro-regime villages. Thousands of people have been stuck in evacuation convoys from Al Fuwaq, Afraya, Madaya and Zabadani after a deal to transfer them from besieged areas stalled in a disagreement over the number of fighters to be moved The incident highlights the plight of those caught up in this six-year long conflict. Now even though they did mention the white helmets briefly there, this was a real... The footage I saw looked pretty damn real and so that's why we're not going to talk much about it because you know we didn't set it up It wasn't our guys the white helmet making some false crappy ass videos So that's why like 100 people whatever yeah just refugees. They weren't even refugees they were evacuees A whole new name nice

CHAPTER 18 / 48 Discussion

Swedish Doctors for Human Rights Critique White Helmets

The director of Swedish Doctors for Human Rights has criticized the White Helmets, claiming their life-saving procedures shown in videos are non-medical and counterproductive. The organization also points to evidence of coordinated video uploads between the White Helmets and the Al-Nusra Front. These allegations suggest a propaganda link between the "rescue" group and militant rebels.

swedish doctors for human rights· white helmets· al-nusra· propaganda· syria

54:20 Evacuees. Ah, well who cares? Who cares... Who cares is the director of the Swedish Doctors for Human Rights who is very, very disappointed in the belief that the white helmets were helping with the chemical attack and he calls it fake. Could you tell us just a little bit more about these videos that were shot by the Syrian white helmets? Well we have two observations mainly one was referred to their life-saving procedures as shown in the videos The opinion of our doctors were that these procedures were non-medical, non life saving and even counterproductive in terms of lifesaving purposes. That's a very interesting point that neither you or I could ever pick up on he said what they were doing what they were showing was non productive, non lifesaving

55:10 These guys don't even know the basic procedures apparently according to this doctor. The other reservation is that the videos on the alleged gas attack of March 2015 was published at the same time, simultaneously by coordinated Sarmin which is an organization having a logo similar the former Jabhat al-Nusra Front formations. So, in complete they use the same particular jihad flag so that raises the question as to whether relationships were to exist between these militant rebels combating formations and The White Helmets? Nah... No you can't tell me that the same videos were uploaded to The White Helmets YouTube channel

CHAPTER 19 / 48 Discussion

Bana Alabed Twitter Account and Pro-War Rhetoric

The Twitter account of Syrian child Bana Alabed is scrutinized for posting sophisticated political messages in English. Recent tweets praised Bill Kristol and urged President Trump to buy more F-35 fighter jets. The hosts suggest the account is a manufactured propaganda tool used to influence Western public opinion in favor of military intervention.

bana alabed· twitter· bill kristol· f-35· propaganda

56:00 and Twitter at the same time, the same video was uploaded to the Al Nusra YouTube channel and Twitter page. No! That can't be! How could that ever work? My goodness... Oh I gotta find this other thing for you this was very funny Let's see where i put it here You remember Bona of course Bona who? Bona, Bona Oh Bona your buddy Yeah Bona the babe Bonna the Child, Bonna the one you say do you like Istanbul? Fish. Her answer to everything is yes save the children of Syria and fish she only has two answers but she now tweeted again She's tweeted in perfect English this is really good I guess this is true Wow! she says Bill Crystal is a really smart guy very handsome too Americans should listen to him and do what he says

57:04 What? Yeah. What is Bill Crystal writing for her? Probably! That's embarrassing Let me just check this, Alameda Albana That has got to be a hoax Sure it's the right sign because there are these faces I'm going to check and you could be right Honestly i didn't check that one Did you see what is her handle again It's Alabed Banna Okay let me see Let's try it out. Ala-bed-bana, okay? Does it show her... yes here is ala bed bana and let me see if that Bill Crystal Well she has a lot of interesting things to say boy her English is great

I kind of like Here I am a Syrian child who suffered under Bashar al Assad and Putin I welcome Donald Trump action against the killers of my people Wow fish Fish hashtag fish Yeah That's not fake at all Go ahead people

58:52 You can keep on believing. Very, very nice. It's good for you. The belief system is nice. Belief system is always good. So we have since we're done this kind of topic of the hoaxes and all the rest so there was a it wasn't played at all in United States but it was big deal in Germany because it involves soccer Wait wait I've had you moved off of Syria because I had one more clip if you know... Oh no! I got more serious stuff too yeah I just want to play that little bit from the man himself Bashar! Bashar. He's what Mrs. Sussard gonna say? Yeah, he has... Speaking of hair

CHAPTER 20 / 48 Discussion

Bashar al-Assad Denies Chemical Weapons Use

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad denied ordering a chemical attack, stating that Syria relinquished its chemical arsenal years ago. He characterized the reports of the Khan Sheikhoun incident as a 100% fabrication by the West and Al-Qaeda to provide a pretext for U.S. strikes. Assad questioned the validity of the evidence and the status of the reported victims.

bashar al-assad· chemical weapons· khan sheikhoun· al-qaeda· fabrication

59:29 Yeah, this is a... his speech is very interesting. But he's well we had if you remember we had that British ambassador on the show once who has sounded exactly the same and I was of the impression that he's the one who taught him how to speak English? So it's not just a tone how to speak well for kind of English If he could get the English a little better Speaking up would help. Then he could certainly replace either one of us if any, if either one of us keels over and he's crackpot enough for sure There was no order to make any attack we don't have any chemical weapons We gave up our arsenal few years ago even if you have them we wouldn't use them and we had never used our chemical arsenals in our history

1:00:16 So what happened this day? As I said, the only source is Al-Qaeda. We cannot take it seriously but our impression that the West mainly the United States is handing gloves with terrorists they fabricated the whole story in order to have a pretext for the attack we don't know whether those dead children were they killed in Khan Sheikhoun or were they dead at all Who committed the attack if there was an attack? What's the matter, you have no information at all. Nothing at all. None investigated So you think it is fabrication? Definitely 100% for us it's fabrication Were those children even dead?! I saw them opening up their eyes on the pile Yeah you saw that eye opening Just a little bit A pile of dead kids yeah Just to take a look

CHAPTER 21 / 48 Discussion

Wall Street Journal vs. Obama Administration on Syria

A conflict has emerged between the Wall Street Journal and former Obama administration officials regarding Syria's chemical weapons stockpile. Columnist Bret Stephens argues that the Obama administration knew Assad was cheating on the 2013 agreement while publicly claiming 100% of the weapons were removed. Former National Security Advisor Susan Rice and DNI Jim Clapper are cited as having maintained the "illusion" of a defanged Assad.

wall street journal· barack obama· susan rice· jim clapper· sarin

1:01:11 What do you got on Syria? Well, the Russians are also saying the same kind of thing. Well, there's a couple of things. A fight has broken out between ex-Obama people and the Wall Street Journal. And I don't know how... To be honest about it, I'm clipping this. I saved it on Charlie Rose and I'm saving this and I got that clip here and then I was gonna...I got part two. This is the stockpile CR Assad and you hear that Wall Street Journal's set The Wall Street Journal's thesis and a bunch of others, apparently everybody is well you know Assad cheated when he came to when he took his stockpile out of service and kept a bunch of stuff just for this reason as if that's a good idea. But let's play this

1:02:01 Yeah, number one. It's just that there are no numbers to see it. I got you. I know how you work. And you go on to talk about it where there's always this debate about the wisdom of Barack Obama's decision to forego a similar strike under similar circumstances in 2013. That's the beginning, and the end says Mr. Obama and his advisers will never run out of self-justification for their policy in Syria. They can't outrun responsibility for the consequences of their lies. Right well after

1:02:45 President Obama, President Putin of Russia. Now who is this speaking to? I can't remember his name, but he's a columnist for the Wall Street Journal. Okay so it's from...I just...the side is okay? So it's the Wall Street Journal against former robots. Yeah, he's the Wall Street Journal guy and the other guy's defending...it's actually to be honest about it this went on for a very long time and slightly tedious and there's one guy defending and the funny thing is this Wall Street Journal guy managed to get the Obama guy who was the Assistant Secretary of State under one of those Bozo's very well spoken though. He gets them to kind of agree with a few of the points which I thought was just a bad form Let's get back to the question again tell me about this sexuality it's in your DNA well after

1:03:34 President Obama, President Putin of Russia and John Kerry engineered the agreement by which Syria was supposed to relinquish its entire stockpile of banned chemical weapons. Information began to emerge pretty quickly thereafter that the Syrians were cheating on the agreement. It started filtering out in 2014, The Wall Street Journal had a front page story on the fact in 2015 and 2016 Jim Clapper former director of national intelligence even acknowledged it to a congressional committee

1:04:11 Throughout the entire period, however, leading figures of the Obama administration including the president and the secretary of state and just this January national security adviser Susan Rice kept insisting that the Obama administration, that the deal had gotten 100 percent of the chemical weapons out. Creating an illusion which by the way the Trump administration seemed to share at least in its first few months that Assad had been defanged of his most dangerous weapons what we've just seen in northern Syria with a sarin attack on this village

1:04:48 is that that was untrue and that he maintains the stockpile. And I have to ask Mr Blinken, how is it that the Obama administration kept going on saying 100% of weapons without qualification when they knew from their own intelligence reporting and in fact publicly available sources that that was not the case? That Assad was cheating on the deal but he maintained this stockpile and of course the ability to use it. They knew it! Well, see this is the sketchy part. That's the part that everyone's arguing about no doubt yeah and I think it might actually be a distraction of this thing being a fraud anyway because again there's no logic i mean they're Assad...I don't care what anybody thinks he's stupid he's an idiot he's evil He doesn't just decide to violate logic And when things are starting to go well for him because Trump is siding up to him

CHAPTER 22 / 48 Discussion

Antony Blinken Defends 2013 Syria Chemical Deal

Former Deputy Secretary of State Antony Blinken defended the 2013 agreement, noting that 1,300 tons of declared chemicals were destroyed by the OPCW. He acknowledged that the administration always had concerns about "gaps" in Syria's declaration. Blinken pointed out that the deal was successful enough for Israel to discontinue its national civilian gas mask program.

antony blinken· opcw· israel· gas masks· syria

1:05:48 to use a chemical weapon, to turn it around in the other direction. Right. Makes no sense. It makes NO SENSE whatsoever! I have just figured out how this is going to end... Okay, play part two of this and then take that and tell me how it's going to end. And the second part of this is the Russians should have known about this? What was their complicity? Well, of course the Russian were complicit in one of the things most disturbing about this attack is that you have Russians on the same air base where these weapons were being stored but the question about

1:06:23 That Russian mendacity is not even interesting. The Russians lie, I don't think any of us would raise an eyebrow about that. What disturbs me is why the Obama administration offered a story about this deal which simply wasn't—wasn't simply true but which they seem to—they should have known or did know was not true? Well first let me just say this. I very much admire what Brett's written recently in defense of the truth but here I think he's barking up the wrong tree. Let's rewind the tape for just a second. We faced this horrific situation in 2013 with this chemical weapons attack in Syria. We prepared to use force, we then went to Congress and see if we could get authority to do it that got bogged down into debate then the Russians came in and decided to broker a deal by which the Syrians declared all of the chemical weapons they had which they'd never done before

1:07:11 agreed to give them up and destroy them in a verifiable way. They declared 1,300 tons of chemicals and various infrastructure that went along with it A year later the group charged with monitoring the destruction of those chemicals The OPCW, the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons said that they had in fact destroyed their declared weapons And here's where the discrepancy is We knew all along, and we said publicly repeatedly that we were concerned that there were gaps between what they had declared and what they actually had. And we went repeatedly to the OPCW, to the United Nations, to the Russians to try to press the Syrians on those gaps to make sure that we in fact gotten everything we could but if you go back and look at virtually all of the statements, we are referring to the declared capability that they have and we repeatedly raised concerns about the gaps.

1:08:00 Now, it goes on. I'm not going to go into any more clips. We have one ISO which you can play at virtually all the statements he says virtual statements and gives but you have to listen to it carefully again because you wait God want to tell you what they're listening for this is virtual estate in statements at virtually all the statements. Yeah, that's exactly like that other douchebag. It's a tell! Not all of them but virtually all of them. He goes on and talks about I think with legitimacy that getting rid of all these weapons even if there was some held back is different but he says and he reminded us...I'm telling you i couldn't clip any more this...he reminded us

1:08:49 Israel, and we remember playing these clips. Israel had a gas mask program in place- That's right giving everybody free gas masks I recall. They were giving the whole country free gas mask because they were fearful of this situation with Syria and their gas And then that program was discontinued once this effort with the Russians United States and Syria began to get rid of all the weapons Brian there was a lot He says it's a positive thing overall. Okay, maybe there was some kept back I personally don't think there was any kept back else It was like maybe there was but I don't think there's any reason to do a gas attack who says there were any chemical weapons at all

MiniScribe Brick Scandal and Corporate Fraud

A historical corporate scandal involving the disk drive company MiniScribe is recounted. In 1987, executives attempted to hide inventory shortages by packing 26,000 bricks into hard drive boxes and shipping them to Singapore. This massive cover-up eventually led to the company's downfall and serves as a metaphor for deceptive "show" operations in politics and industry.

1:09:25 Look, here's how if now let's just put it. Now you're going on this part yes you could I think you're Yes, you could say that let's put on our producer hats good It could be the web is a mass destruction issue all over again Yeah A bunch of empty bottles it This happens in Silicon Valley where was a big major major major Disc drive coming. I can't remember the name of them some people might remember a major was back disc Drive companies hard disks, huh and their entire inventory were boxes for the disk drives filled with bricks no Yeah, that's a great story. Yeah it was scandalous and the company went out of business because it turned out they weren't making disk drives at all! They were making nothing? Iomega no not Iomega... This was a company-I think they had made some disk drives and when they make one to their upgrade which I guess they couldn't do with something

1:10:16 Mini scribe? Maxdor? No, it's not Maxdor. No no no, Maxdor is legit right up to the last minute A mini scribe maybe... It might have been them Whoever was a whole bunch of these Maybe they were making drives but they couldn't keep up with the number they were supposed to be making so they had these bricks Yes, in the mini- it's mini scribe Thank you War Room So then you go there and have a box and it has bricks in it I'll read from The Book Of Knowledge In July 1987, Parker, director for Far East Operations told Wiles that something was amiss. Then in August, Wiles traveled to Hong Kong—these are executives—in Singapore where he found a complete loss of control of the inventory count that fall showed the numbers had grown to $15 million mostly in Colorado. A report was prepared to consider various solutions

1:10:59 Wiles suggested they continue hiding the problem and ordered all copies of the report to be destroyed. This led to the company's most infamous coverup, The managers rented a second warehouse in Colorado where they personally packed 26 thousand bricks into hard drive boxes and shipped them to Singapore in order to shore up the inventory count." Beautiful! What a great scam that is. Bricks... Hey this hard disk doesn't work Where's the connector on this brick? It doesn't have USB 3. Um, okay but I have an idea let's put our uh... Let's-let's put our um producer hats on for a moment Let's just take into consideration this is all show and a number of actors are in on it We're going to take into account that Putin's in on it That the guy with the pronoun Z The China guy is in on it The Israelis are in on it

CHAPTER 24 / 48 Discussion

Melania Trump and Asma al-Assad Peace Script

A satirical "script" is proposed where Melania Trump and Asma al-Assad meet in Paris to resolve the Syrian conflict. The hosts imagine the two "fashion icon" wives of world leaders brokering a deal that their husbands could not. This hypothetical summit would involve a high-level meeting at a neutral location like Pierre's to "re-strike" the geopolitical situation.

melania trump· asma al-assad· paris· peace summit· vogue

1:12:03 And that's enough. Bashar al-Assad is in on it too So how do you solve this to make everybody look great? And with an extra bonus we get to deploy our brand new Moab Mother of all boobs and here's how it works Melania Trump has a high level summit with Bashar's wife Now she of course, was in Vogue magazine. She was heralded as a fashion icon. She's beautiful. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie hanging out with her. Yeah no she is a babe! So high level meeting the mothers of all boobs and they solve it and then a child says well you know what

1:12:51 The women have discussed it, they worked it out and now its good. We're gonna bring in American troops Russian troops And we're going to clear out all of these horrible terrorists And the world will be great We need to write a script. This, I'm writing it right now! I'm writing it. It's good! Watch for Melania. What's her name? Riza... no what is the wife of.. we need to look at her again make sure she still looks good Make sure she's still up for the role. We might have to cast somebody else as her if its- No, no, no, no, no She's still good Asma. Asma. Asthma. Asthma. Alright. Asthma. Asthma Al-Asad

1:13:31 Yeah, she needs a haircut. But if we can just redo her hair? Well most of the good stylists have long since left Damascus You think She's got to go to take a quick trip to Paris. Maybe that is the neutral territory where, oh thank you John! That they bump into each other at Piers. So I was in Piers and I see... Oh I think i recognize you hello can we just talk and make it better between us? And the men they can just stop fighting This was probably the plan let's let's let's go even more crazy land

1:14:07 This was actually what you described as the plan and the Paris meeting with Hillary. But it never worked out? Because Hillary didn't get elected! Yes, and that was the plan yes I'm telling ya And it was gonna be in Paris because Hillary can get her due again. And that sets up Melania Trump to be the first female president, I mean it's going to be dynamite! She can't be the President. John we just... She was not born in the United States. Telling you we just got another season picked up from this script meeting alone. This is great so they meet each other at Pierre's in Paris

1:14:49 They have a meeting, it leaks out. But then they have to do a statement together their arm and arm And then the men come out People are yelling kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss Tongue! Tongue tongue I yell Oh my god wouldn't the world be so much more fun if we were running it? My goodness It would be a blast The world would just be one non-stop show Well, it is actually now. We're the only ones deconstructing it as such I think my plan is good It's solid. I think it should be taken seriously and it may already be in the works It might be And with that... They're just trying to rejigger the situation after Hillary lost Yeah and I like your idea that was supposed to happen with her but she didn't get elected so now they have to restrike It's either that or something else But they have to bring out certainly have to bring out asthma

Professional Audio Gear and XLR Connectors

A technical discussion ensues regarding the importance of professional XLR connectors over "dipshit" USB connectors for microphones. The hosts explain that XLR cables are balanced, shielded, and designed for low impedance to prevent accidental disconnection. They share anecdotes about tripping over cables and the need for "roadies" to tape down equipment.

at2020· xlr· usb microphone· impedance· roger daltrey

1:21:22 Huh? You're getting your notes, aren't you. I have to...I dropped the mic! It's next to the keyboard by the way how you know you yeah, okay? Yeah when I dropped that Mike. I want to mention something here for people out there who put hooking up gear to do stuff This was on this review show and we thought you had a heart attack Well, you did not be only person who thought that well Here's an ominous would have mentioned this because it wouldn't this wouldn't have happened under a previous show if them the AT 2020 The microphone I was using didn't have a

1:22:05 It was a built-in USB and it had, it had a little dipshit connector. When you're doing when you're a pro you use XLR you use those big heavy duty mic Connectors the three prongers You always use those yes for that reason never use the dipshit connector. That's a bad thing It's not big old connectors that are on these microphones are there for a reason Yeah, what's the reason is one to Mike hits the floor and it no that's not them reason good break No The real reasons you trip over him know the reason No, okay. All right! Okay you can say what's the real reason? I mean the reason is that you need something that's firmly in there... ...that can't be accidentally fall out These connectors are typically built for this type of impedance because you could easily get looping if the connectors are too close to each other So it's a balanced input and shielded and i believe the dimensions are specific But okay yes Roger Daltry could not have done anything without it

1:23:08 That too. Yes, the connector is built for the purposes of balancing all utilities. Barons low impedance is what it's for and so but when you trip if you don't have a gaffer that glues everything down We need a roadies what you need using the roadie to tape over one of these cables as laying all over the place. The mic was flying! You need a rhodium to tape down your wires in the morning and also like on stage so you know where to walk, so you don't fall off the stage and white tape around your chaise lounge now so that you know what area you can perform in I need some white tape around the floor where i put the keyboard. Don't worry, eventually the cops will put white tape around you it'll be fine yeah there we go...I think that's yellow tape generally no now that's in front of the house is the white tape of your outline on the floor

Brown Bag Lunch Racism Controversy

A listener and federal contractor reports that "brown bag lunches" are being banned in some government workplaces due to perceived racist connotations. The "brown bag test" was historically used to compare skin tones in the African American community. The hosts express skepticism about the extent of the ban but discuss the "trickle-down madness" of bureaucracy and political correctness.

brown bag test· racism· steph curry· draymond green· bill nye

1:23:58 It's always a crooked little man. His arms are so weird. We gave him karma, right? Yeah we gave him karma. All right now we have Sir Daniel Miller. He's set! So we have Sir Daniel Miller of Knoxville Tennessee who came with 333-33 and I have a note... Now this is a very interesting note and i want people out there to check this out because I am skeptical and by the way if you wanted to you could put him on a list to become baronet But he didn't ask for it, but he is because he sent his. All right well we'll have one title and make a baronet I'm cool with that absolutely Maybe unless he doesn't well whatever Okay this value for value is long overdue as last donation was in show 840

1:24:44 Your coverage of the early Trump administration and the military industrial intelligence access is unmatched. Thank you I particularly enjoyed the recent analysis of yields yield co's ah Oh, this is our former GS guy no he's not Texas No, no it was a different guy that's a different way, but what should she s mean to you Goldman Sachs? No okay That's different you guys consistently deliver an outstanding product And I think we agree with you I work for, now this is the part that's... I work for a federal contractor and we are no longer allowed to have brown bag lunches because they are racist.

1:25:24 Only if they contain peanut butter or jelly, otherwise they're okay. Now there is a I remember there was a TV show of forgot which name it was really good show and it was about some black radio station or something and They talked about the brown bag test Which is a racist thing? Okay And the brown bag test is that if you if you're a black person and they will put a brown you compare your skin tones to a brown bag That's the limit of how dark you should be before you become an N-word. Yes, for the black people. Yeah And so you have for example like said let's take a look at the Warriors who are playing today in their first playoff game of this season brother from another mother Steph Curry is he got Steph Curry? Who's a booze get who's lighter than a brown paper bag beautiful brown beautiful just that's not like me beautifully Brown Adam and Steph curry It's just like just like you're a sack like me hey You're actually taller yeah, and then you'd have Draymond very dark I think what do you think taught Steph how to dunk man oh

1:26:32 He doesn't dunk. So then you have Draymond Green who's a dark, very dark skinned black and that's all determined on this brown bag scale which is a racist thing but the okay so I know that But if I look at it from this perspective, they're banning brown bag lunches in the government. And he goes on, I know there was some hoopla over this term several years ago. I think that's what he is referring to. Yeah. I don't know if this has renewed outrage or just takes this long for the madness to trickle down through the bureaucracy to my level. Ironically one of our more common caterers Is named Brown Bag.

1:27:11 Fired you're fired. He says they are not banned yet It's over okay, so that I leave this story have a you know why don't you believe the story? Why would he lie to us? There are not many people who send, who give you money and say let me tell you a lie. It's possible that this is some phony baloney rumor that he picked up on or something I don't know it just...I want verification because i don't do that usually especially with Knights but I would like somebody to verify this story or give me some proof that its true because if it is true then it's outrageous

1:27:52 If it's true, that's why I'm skeptical. It's way over the top! Well, just from the book of knowledge, I am seeing brown paper bag tests...I mean this is a real thing. This is not made up. Oh yeah, no, it's not made-up. But banning brown bags in the workplace because its racist? That is odd. Okay so anyway he continues, may I have Bill Nye come on champ and karma for yourselves and all producers amen fist bumps or Daniel Miller Yeah, of course you can man. And he used a seal by the way. Oh very nice! A night seal yeah perfect. Night Seal. Alright so come on champ show us how tough you are You've got karma Amen fist bump There ya go Alright Onward where were we? Oh it's my friend Sir uh your buddy Sir Reddy Kilowatt who has donated $250 to become an Associated Executive Producer and here he is and you kicked him out of the chat room No I didn't kick him out

CHAPTER 29 / 48 Discussion

Self-Identity, Minorities, and Millennial Victimhood

A discussion on the trend of self-identifying as a minority explores the theory that institutions encourage this to "gin up" diversity numbers in reports. The hosts argue that the Millennial generation values "victim credentials" and unique labels to feel special. One host jokes about identifying as a "Vol" (Vulcan) to highlight the perceived absurdity of modern identity politics.

ready kilowatt· vulcan· minorities· millennials· victim credentials

1:28:55 For just being mildly amusing. Ready killer wad of the chat room, although sir is probably no longer valid as I now identify as Vol- Vol! I'm gonna do that too, I identify as Vol He identifies as Vol As in Vulcan because I mate every seven years Yes, a typical that's his chat room for you. No war room John war the war room Yeah, I love you to every seven years and there's usually a lot of collateral damage Rimshot is my rim shot either. You don't have anything close I do have a rim shot machine around here But I don't have it at the ready

1:29:38 Not to mention it's now a war room, not a chat room and I'm a committed pacifist anyway. Show 920 was just fantastic and really hit all of the primary touchstones of the show A little history, a lot of BS detection some real tech news and great LOL humor Don't bother reading the rest of this out loud unless you think it is worthy of discussion One thing, well I'll read a little bit. One thing that I've noticed is that the institutions pushing all this strange and self-identity stuff is that they also track minority involvement most if not all government forms including a section where you identify yourself as a minority for example. Yeah. I think there's a high probability that at some level they want to see as many people self-identify as minorities so they can gin up their numbers when they have to produce reports! Interesting...

1:30:30 I like the theory. The millennials... By the way, Brown Bag Catering is a real company that has been verified Okay, now I'm just... The millennial-I don't doubt that Now I'm just interjecting It's okay I'm just finding it so outrageous Yeah, I know The Millennials need for feeling special and unique fits into this minorities are perceived as being special for being a minority. So eventually otherwise uninteresting people, huh? Well but this is something we've already discussed is that the bigger the victim credentials you have the more loved you are within the Millennial group in I'm generalizing to a huge degree of course

1:31:19 But that is possibly where a lot of this stuff comes from. Yeah, yeah so eventually no sexual so eventually otherwise uninteresting people Seek out some label to become special I think which is what you just said? I think at some point in the chain the goal is to make everyone a minority of one My goal is to get it is to get a handicap sticker That's all I want Granted I haven't flipped. I don't think it's that hard if you really try granted I haven't fleshed out the idea much because they got to I got work to do But it might be an interesting thesis. We'll pick it up Yeah, no, I think we've come up with that similar conclusion in the past make that makes sense yeah Let me give them and some karma You've got karma

Self-Publishing and Young Adult Fiction

Sir Nacho discusses his experience self-publishing a young adult science fiction novel over four years. John Dvorak provides advice on the difference between "packaging" a book and "publishing" it, noting that a well-produced product can eventually be picked up by major distributors. The author credits "deconstruction skills" learned from the show for helping him complete the project.

In the morning John and Adam please accept this donation of two hundred dollars to thank you for your courage please shower me with some publishing karma I'm following John's advice of self-publishing Because he wants to equal your success of your vinegar book. That's a good way to go. Self-publishing is science fiction novel I wrote over the last four years, it's really easy to do nowadays so if you... Let me just say one thing about self publishing if you want to do it It's easier to do if you know something about publishing but if you don't You can still do it through the various systems that are out there mostly run through Amazon and If you package a really good product

1:33:55 In other words, you have it edited and you get a good cover. You've packaged the book that can later be picked up by a publisher and it's called packaging. It's a different thing than publishing. Packaging is pre-producing the whole thing completely done in all the publishers grab it and distribute it and they make a lot of money right? And they love it but... At what point at what metric does a publisher look for when they say crap I don't even want to read this thing I'll take it What is the number Is any bogus number you can like, you can gin up? What it's like the music business. Yeah exactly like the music business at this level of packaging level sure all right I got to tell my boy Ponte that yeah he's gonna sit in his book

1:34:43 That book, that thing is huge. Anyway I just wrote over the last four years if all goes right it should be available at least on Amazon within the next month however it's not all no agenda themed I stay away from politics and wrote it as a young adult audience in mind although its invaluable deconstructions because of the invaluable deconstruction skills I learned whilst listening to use the word whilest So that's a strike against you. Did he use it correctly? Yeah, he used it correctly I'm not saying he didn't use it correctly It's just not a word you want to use yeah, I use it too but it's I know him but I know I'm using it

1:35:20 If you know what I mean. Yeah, listening to the show definitely helped as I promised John a percentage of future sales will be donated to the show this could Be good or bad But if I sell two copies I send 50 cents your way other than that Please play that I got ants song at the end of the show Sorry Adam. I know you don't like it. I do not like it. I do like I was actually taken aback by this comment and I liked it a lot actually Because I didn't know that you didn't like it and he says this. No, no i like it! It's just not every single show... Oh of course not But okay it's done this show is in You got it Give him some publishing karma Some publishing karma? He got that too, good luck with that! You've Got Karma I mean it Good luck with that Yeah but you never know he might be good

Danny Bonaduce and the Fall to Podcasting

The National Enquirer features a story on Danny Bonaduce's "rock bottom" fall from child stardom to becoming a radio DJ. Adam Curry, having worked with Bonaduce at MTV, jokes that the only thing lower than a radio DJ is a podcaster. The hosts reflect on the public perception of their medium compared to traditional broadcast roles.

1:36:11 It could be a natural. And we can count the money whilst he publishes it. Thank you to our executive producers and associate executive producers, it really makes me feel good to see people coming in and supporting us while working on the Easter holiday. I'll tell you why is Tina The Keeper and I were reading National Enquirer the other day, brand new. Well we were doing show prep obviously and they had this page two pages actually in here that the bigger they are the harder they fall that's especially true in Hollywood where some soar to superstar only to lose everything and hit rock bottom while several of these celebrities have managed to crawl back to the top The National Inquirer digs into their tragic stories to show how easy it is for A-listers to end up flat broke

1:37:00 And there's a guy on the list who I work with a lot in MTV days, funny guy. He has issues but I just read to you what... so they're describing his fall to rock bottom, Danny Bonaduce and he is very nice guy. I've worked with him several times. It's just a nice guy. Just had substance abuse issues which sucks Here's the blurb. When the Partridge Family TV series ended in 1974, the 15-year old redhead was one of the richest kids in America but addictions to booze and drugs soon left him homeless and camping out near a Hollywood dumpster After several stints in rehab, the 57 year old morphed into a radio DJ

1:37:42 I'm thinking, what is worse than Bonaduce sinking to radio DJ? Yeah. I don't have to tell you do i that's right it's Curly. Podcaster! Yes podcaster! That's right everybody go out tell everybody the MTV guy is now a podcaster our formula is this we go out we hit people in the mouth disappointing that kind of stuff

CHAPTER 32 / 48 Discussion

Jeffrey Lord and the MLK Health Care Comparison

CNN commentator Jeffrey Lord sparked controversy by comparing Donald Trump to Martin Luther King Jr. regarding health care tactics. Lord argued that both used the strategy of letting a situation reach a crisis point to force negotiations. Former Bernie Sanders campaign manager Simone Sanders strongly rebuked the comparison, citing the difference between civil rights struggles and political maneuvering.

jeffrey lord· simone sanders· cnn· martin luther king jr· health care

1:38:24 But oh well, it's what it is. A couple of... since we were talking about people being crazy these days particularly when it comes to race about the brown paper bag I'm... I want to say disappointed for sure but also I'm done with Jeffrey Lord. I thought Jeffrey Lord was kind of like a real guy you know he's the guy that from the get-go was a Trump supporter saying no this guys gonna win and of course He turned out to be right and I've always thought Bill the guy's kind of a straight shooter. He really believes in it But when I saw the sequence of events that took place over the past two days Where not only did this did he say something but then? Then what what ensued was funny, but then he went back on CNN with to the the CNN TMZ show with Don Lemon the overnight legend To reenact the whole thing

1:39:22 This is just really annoying. I don't know anything about this or what you're talking about, okay? I'm going to tell you So Jeffrey Lord is on in the afternoon with Simone Sanders as Simone see remember her she she was Bernie's Bernie Sanders campaign manager no relation very very powerful woman black woman and And Jeffrey is trying to... and just the fact that he's doing this with her, you know it's a setup. Like really? Is this the level that you've sunk too Lorde and CNN already has no respect So he is now going to find although I actually technically correct He finds a way to compare Donald Trump to Martin Luther King Jr You think that's gonna piss off the black lady Lorde really? What he's saying is The tactic of

1:40:14 And this is in regards to the American Health Care Act that failed, that is still forthcoming. He's saying the act of doing nothing so something blows up and becomes bad and then the other side has to come and negotiate is a tactic that was used by many people very successfully including Martin Luther King Would you agree with that assessment? No Okay he does... obviously he does But just the fact, even if it's him lobbying it out there in front of Simone Sanders you could expect the result.

1:40:50 Allison, I want to say something here that i know will probably drive Simone crazy but think of President Trump as the Martin Luther King of health care. Oh Jeffrey! And I like her response it's like oh Jeffrey when I was a kid president Kennedy did not want introduce them the civil rights bill because he said it wasn't popular and you didn't have the votes for it etc Dr. King kept putting people in the streets in harms way to put the pressure on so that would be introduced. That's his comparison, do you agree with that? Not necessarily right I mean

1:41:30 I mean, it's okay but... You're right. This is already-I can tell already that this is bullcrap. Yes! Staged bit because you got nothing better to do and she's probably a pretty good actress Well you wait until the second segment and see how good they all are. You do understand that Dr King was marching for civil rights because people who look like me were being beaten? I'm also tired of the people who look like me I don't like this. Oh, yeah, you know that's funny it is a meme i haven't noticed it i mean i have noticed but i didn't notice it as such as a meme but your right its a meme and its annoying there are lots of people who look at it as a meme

1:42:13 10 yeah instead of being she's one of those exaggerators people that look like me were being we're being beaten on him basic human rights or being withheld from these people merely because the car she's doing a very good job of talking over him that of course is the mission all women need to do that. We know this is true because that's what they've been told them basic human rights are being withheld from these peoples nearly because the color their skin so let's not equate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a humanitarian and Nobel Peace Prize winner, to the vagina-grabbing President Donald Trump. The vagina grabbing Trump. Great! Lovely, so that was like okay well you really wanted that response and you got it and I kind of didn't think of it anymore in fact they didn't even clip it but I clipped it after I saw him this is way chopped down So now we have a quad box In the quad box IN THE QUAD BOX We have Simone Sanders We have Bacari And we have Don Lemon

CHAPTER 33 / 48 Discussion

Don Lemon and the CNN "Apology" Script

A heated exchange on CNN featured Don Lemon and other "People of Color" (POC) demanding an apology from Jeffrey Lord for his MLK comparison. The hosts deconstruct the segment as a "scripted 10-minute play" designed to manufacture racial tension. They critique the use of terms like "privilege" and "racial blind spots" as manipulative tools used by the network to avoid actual debate.

don lemon· jeffrey lord· poc· privilege· scripted media

1:43:21 who of course is hosting the show. Then we have Jeffrey Lord and this became very interesting because it became more not so much about what he said but about him not wanting to apologize for offending these three POCs, which I've learned now from the new Mastodon thing you don't say black people anymore John you say POCs pox yes POC people of color. I think this is somehow offensive term I think it makes it sound like a pockmark. It's a horrible term, but so anyone who says that they're just being set up Well we'll talk about that later Just listen to this okay Jeffrey Jeffrey let me ask you something

1:44:05 You have three people you work with, right? You work with Picard. You work with me. You work with Simone. Three people of color and Selena. No no no! Let me get the point out let me get the point out we are telling you that that comparison was insulting and your ignoring it um don't you this is the part that really gets me so were telling you that your comparison was insulting to us people who look like me And he has to apologize. This, I... this and it's incessant! I don't understand this. You should take that into consideration whether or not you're trying to make a point or not even if its to the point of if I offended you I'm sorry Don, Don

1:44:44 When I lived as a teenager in the South and my dad lost his job standing up for a black waitress. You're not answering my question now, you're not answering my question in the moment Don't take me back to some before-the-war crap! I wanna hear... Don Lemon thinks apparently that was before the war The civil rights movement is very... Before-The-War Crap Yeah was it 1800's Don? Don't take me back to something before That's actually an interesting story. I want to hear what happened to Jeffrey Lord's dad, but no, no, no, no, don't take me back to some before the war crap! I want to hear what you're saying to the co-workers who work with now, Jeffrey answer the question now! I don't want to hear about stuff from 50 dog damn years ago! 50 dog damn years ago? Wow... Now i don't wanna hear about stuff from 50 dog damn years ago

1:45:32 I want to hear now. And the context of this is that both Simone and Bakari have been talking about how their family had been, you know of course uh had a horrible time under before the civil forever i don't know it's horrible we're all racist we suck in America especially white people there you go that's what you want to hear Don Lemon from 50 damn years ago I want to hear now, to the co-workers, to the people of color you work with on this network every single day who are offended by your remarks. You're not listening to us! This is not moral. We don't judge people by color in this country, that is racist it's wrong! Jeffrey let me tell you something... Let me tell you something Every single day I walk out of my house I am a black woman Jeffrey, I don't have the luxury of saying I don't see color

1:46:22 Every single day I walk out of my house, someone sees me as a black woman regardless of how I see myself. I'm a black woman Don is a black man. Macari is a black man You have the luxury of walking out of the house and just being an American. You don't have to think about it you do not have to think about it And that my friend is a position of privilege Did you notice that he fed her line? Literally Yeah, because she's supposed to say that. She messed it up. You're absolutely right in the script yeah you don't have to think about he had that's funny and you'll hear the Bakari comes in on cue black man. Bakari is a black man! You had the luxury of walking out of the house and just being an American. You do not

1:47:09 have to think about it. He is the souffleur, Don Lemon known as the Souffleurs Supremes. That my friend is a position of privilege and when you have the opportunity to hear from other sides, listen, to have real dialogue then you should take it. So Simone and Jeffrey I think this is the conversation that this is the gap in America that we have today because there's so many people who had these racial blind spots Jeffrey, genuinely does not believe that anything he said this morning was incorrect disingenuous wrong or harmful. That is a problem and if you can't have that empathy for someone who just literally told you that their father died or I told you my father was shot or Don is... We have two black personalities on late night TV and one of them is telling me he's offended by it. You haven't listened anything they said?

1:48:00 John, you're talking liberal to me. That's what you do. No I'm talking real. You gotta remember that! Hey man stop talking liberal to me it's really hurting. John, you're talking liberal to me. Do you have a... no i'm talking real. I've never done red. You don't notice the color, I notice the color of your hair when someone has red hair and you have white hair. I know Simone is wearing white and I'm wearing blue it's insulting when you are stating something that is not in reality. And we're sitting here as people... Will you let me finish? Jeffrey I am talking to you will you let me finish? Here we go!

1:48:39 Dr. King means something different to the people who are sitting here than he meant to you He wasn't just a tactic for us, he's a real person who helped me be able to get here and Simona being able to sit here And for Bacardi to be able to sit here and Selena and for you to come on give some reckless comparison to his work and legacy It is not reckless it is Dr. Kings cubes! You should not be judged by the color of your skin Good night we're done And I'd like to say as a person who has an issue with colorblindness in certain situations, I feel very insulted and I want an apology. Well that was weird! Wasn't it? Yeah But it was acted It was acted...it was purely acted The whole thing- I think it was a scene A scene from a scripted scene Yes What would be the point of it? To get the race thing going again I guess Not sure

1:49:44 It was very distressing. I didn't like it, and sorry you have to listen to that stuff In fact, you should stop listening to CNN if there's stuff like that on there Well that was very manipulative! I didn't-I didn't like the nature of it, I didn't like the way it went What? I didn't like the fact there was no debate whatsoever, just I demanded an apology The name of this script is I demand an apology And... There's a thing called a 10 minute play And I demand an apology. This is obviously somebody kind of woodshedding a script for maybe production, eventual production. We have a little bit of... Because that's what it looks like to me! ...we have a little bit of audio from the set when they finish there at the very end you listen to that just be- You have to be very- we have to listen really carefully. In comparison to his work and his legacy It is not reckless, it is Dr. King's cubes Good night. You should not be judged by the color of your skin but by the content of- Good night, we're done. See ya in everybody

Mastodon Federation and the "No Agenda" Blacklist

The "No Agenda" community on the Mastodon social network is reportedly being targeted by "No Borders, No Nations" activists who want to block the server. Despite the decentralized nature of the platform, some admins are circulating blacklists to prevent "No Agenda" users from federating with other instances. The hosts point out the irony of "no borders" activists demanding digital firewalls and blocks.

mastodon· noagendasocial.com· social justice warriors· blacklist· federation

1:50:40 That's a wrap. Good work, good work! I witnessed something over the weekend which was in a way actually very disturbing more disturbing than this and this is the if you don't mind me just getting into it for second the Federation of Mastodon has become a problem and we're getting a bad rap it's the no agenda people as who we are now in mastodon federation space Do no agenda people become a thing? Yeah, a thing. Does it incorporate Dvorak's troll army? Unfortunately no we need the Dvoraks troll army because what is happening you know now that stuff that people are posting on noagendasocial.com is starting to spread out to these other servers

1:51:28 Now you get these, I mean pure 100% social justice warriors going. Hey if you're an admin you should consider putting no agenda social on the block list really weird people over there and so I get it I'm the admin so like hey hey you what's up well this guy over here at you should look at his timeline this is a racist and as in homophobic and xenophobic I'll go take a look. I don't see anything, so could you please show me an example? No if you're an admin and it's do seem pretty iffy You should go look for yourself. I mean Now they're circulating these lists block lists block all these domains We don't want them in our space And this is what hit me well this you know mastodon In its origin was set up really by no borders no nations people

1:52:24 It's the no nations, no borders people who hated the fact that Twitter wasn't controlling Nazis enough. They really started to populate this new social network space I'll call it that So you have the No Nations, No Borders People want firewalls and blocks! Does it get any nuttier than that? But they don't want borders. Yeah does it get any crazier than that? It's super ironic but its really It's insane. You need to get on the back on this thing John you'll see it, it's insane and what and where this stemmed from is one of these instances server powoo.net was all sudden everyone's freaking out the whole Mastodon sphere is freaking out Oh my god we're hosting porn! We're hosting chickity porn on our servers So here's what the problem was are you familiar with Loli art? I'm sure

1:53:20 Not really. A lot of the art is like, drawn... it's mainly Japanese characters. It's kind of an anime character. Oh yeah, the Japanese are in all kinds of creepy stuff Yeah they got like you know it all looks like children and they're sometimes interesting. And a lot of violence and crazy stuff Well The stuff I saw did not include any violence or crazy stuff Just, y'know Like kids But of course that is part of that culture That does show up but What everyone was arguing about is what if you follow someone who has some kind of this lolly art kiddie porn, the way the system works it caches it in memory and then you could go to jail for hosting kiddy porn. My goodness... Hey! Really? I mean

1:54:14 This is not the criticism that I, or the real flaw that I anticipated but it is a flaw. But I had no idea that this was begun by this group of wackos these globalist No Borders No Nations people because they're all insane Yeah and so but that's what really hit me like you know the whole idea of federating Tina Marie came up with a great analogy for mastodons. She said, when I hear you talk about it sounds like Tinker Toys and that's exactly right! You have the hub and then all those spokes and then stick it into another hub and its all connected...Tinker Toys

1:55:04 That's exactly the system. What people are trying to do now is say, the no agenda guys and I don't know why other than our people are very outspoken but no one is...I haven't seen any behavior of someone not wanting to engage with someone who wants to talk about some dumb ass issue but it's fine you know? No! Oh these guys are weird and we're on a list now. We're on a list! On the block, the domain list No borders, no nations but lists. We want firewalls, lists and domain blocks. No borders, no nations. A blacklist will work fine! And that was truly the eye-opener for me was that these people want blocks and lists. I learned another term sea lioning. What does that mean? Have you heard of this term?

CHAPTER 35 / 48 Discussion

Sea Lioning and Digital Xenophobia

The term "sea lioning" is introduced, referring to a comic strip where a sea lion incessantly demands civil conversation and evidence to annoy others. The hosts discuss how Mastodon instances use "Terms of Service" to ban xenophobia and homophobia, questioning how an "open system" can function if it pre-emptively blocks certain viewpoints or feelings.

sea lioning· wondermark· xenophobia· terms of service· open systems

1:55:53 Well, apparently it comes from an old comic strip. I don't know if it's old or not...I have a copy in the show notes, Wonder Mark and there are these two people and there is this sea lion that pops up behind them and says pardon me I couldn't help but overhear And the sea lion keeps interjecting with sentences like I would like to have a civil conversation about your statement Would you mind showing evidence of any negative thing any sea lion has ever done to you? So yeah, that's exactly what they're doing. They're sea lioning there's no need to raise your voice I'm right here says the sea lion Wow I know this is as great it's a great find isn't it? It is just fantastic Sea lioning I've learned a lot I've learned quite a bit with this uh yeah Yeah you scum I'm one of the no agenda people

1:56:48 Scummy scummy a-holes and no agenda people it's And that's that's by the way. That's why I'm in this I love seeing how this is not working It's truly, not working it's not because you know people just There are just groups of people who don't want to deal with other people. You see, terms of service... we refuse xenophobia! Well you can't refuse how I feel. You can't refuse homophobia. You can't even know what xenophobia really means. Right well but it

1:57:29 You can't say no xenophobia. You can say, No xenophobic statements if you want or no homophobic slurs but you can't say we do not tolerate homophobia. Well hold on a second wait what is I thought this whole Macedon thing was so it'd be wide open So you don't have some boneheaded Twitter saying oh these are bad i'm gonna block you for a month well It's interesting that shouldn't the thing be loaded with xenophobia? Yeah We would hope so but no it's not And again, no xenophobia. It seems to me that you have an open system to be genuinely open so you have the place crawling with xenophobes So a lot of people were saying

CHAPTER 36 / 48 Discussion

Loli Art and Obscenity Laws on Federated Servers

The legal implications of hosting "Loli art" (anime-style depictions of minors) on federated servers are explored under 18 U.S. Code 1466. The hosts discuss whether caching such images makes a server admin liable for distributing obscene material. They compare the scrutiny of small Mastodon servers to the massive amounts of adult content hosted on platforms like Yahoo and Tumblr.

loli art· 18 u.s. code 1466· obscenity· yahoo· tumblr

1:58:13 you know, about this uh... about illegal content and this is what a lot of this is about. And I actually looked up the law and the law is extremely flawed when it comes to obscene visual representations of these sexual abuse of children. And by the way let's stop right there. Alright hold on. Yahoo! and its executives should be in jail if that's all true what they told you for hosting Tumblr Yeah, correct. Well... I would say 90% of the world's porn is on Yahoo servers and i'm sure there's plenty of illegal porn on there! Yeah if you want your lolly art that's the place to go So what are they talking about? And let me read the law to you because this warrants some conversation so this is 18 U.S code 1466 alpha obscene visual representations of the sexual abuse of children

1:59:07 A, in general any person who in circumstances described in subsection D which I'll give to you right away. That's a lot we'll do that in a minute knowingly knowingly produces, distributes receives or possesses with intent to distribute a visual depiction of any kind including a drawing cartoon sculpture or painting that 1. A depicts a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct which I think is very clear but then B is obscene or 2.

1:59:53 depicts an image that is or appears to be of a minor engaging in graphic bestiality, sadistic or masochist abuse, sexual intercourse including genital, oral, anal, whether between persons of the same or opposite sex and lacks serious literary artistic political or scientific value or conspires to do so shall be subject to the penalties provided in section 225-2 alpha, including the penalties provided for cases involving a prior conviction." So I'm okay with that description. But obscene? No no you cannot determine obscene on a general basis this is the i know porn when i see it bit

2:00:48 So if you have, and this is the question I struggle with. If you have a lolly art of seemingly a young girl in a negligee is that obscene? It certainly does not fit the other description it's not engaging in any sex uh...I wouldn't say it lacks artistic value its nicely drawn but is it obscene What are we talking about here? I mean, what does this have to do with the no agenda server because if i'm going to allow art To flow through to our server that stays cached in memory. That's the whole discussion that's going on on the sideline Are we liable because that may be deemed obscene? That's my question

2:01:32 And I just want to give you the definition of... You're going to jail. There's that! The definition of obscene, or the portrayal or description of sexual matters is offensive or disgusting by accepted standards of morality and decency. So my question is Mr. DeVore as a lawyer Would that perhaps be okay seeming as within our community it may not be deemed offensive or disgusting by our morality and decency standards. I'm just trying to understand the law You're never gonna get there um jail it is then hey, well yeah Well have void zero host this thing screw it. I'm not going to jail let him host it What are they gonna do? They ain't gonna go overseas to arrest him

2:02:30 You never know. And he can always put Sir Ben Rose in front, hey he did it! He did it. Ben Rose's fault. He had nothing to do with this. What? I've never seen these images. Oh my goodness. Post everything on wordpress dot com Anyway noagendasocial dot com I recommend you guys go check it out we're having a lot of fun as you can tell and when we're discovering things that we never knew existed like real crazy nut jobs is beautiful. Within the No Agenda community No, no. That are connecting to us that are federating. Federating. Well how you avoiding the blacklist? You're gonna get blacklisted I'm sure we're already on the blacklist but doesn't mean that... it doesn't mean that's going to... what will wind up happening is we'll be lumped in on a black list and will be federated with alt-right

2:03:22 All the nut jobs. How about this for an idea? Is there any way you can take the domain, and now is it like a DNS or when you have your no agenda something whatever it is... Can you change the IPs where's the blacklist based on naming as can you keep changing the names to N-agenda? No I'm pretty sure. Just to keep up every time we get blacklisted you change the name? Yeah changing the domain name which is no agendasocial dot com would break everything. Why? Can't you do some pointing, point over here, point over there? No you can't change that name You can't change noagendasocial.com But if you want to start a new dot com... You could start a new .com sure but then you have to start federating all over again I mean we know... Fine! Is there anything to get off the blacklist Yeah Here's how it goes Oh those NOAgenda people have changed domain names Blah!

CHAPTER 37 / 48 Discussion

Naomi Klein and the Trump Hotel Boycott

Activist Naomi Klein is promoting a "nuisance" strategy to disrupt Donald Trump's businesses, including making and then canceling hotel reservations. The hosts mock the idea, noting that credit card cancellation fees would likely benefit the Trump Organization. Klein's suggestions are viewed as ineffective compared to the "World of Warcraft" and "weed" culture of modern protesters.

naomi klein· trump hotels· boycott· epa· nuisance tactics

2:04:25 Those people. Oh, happy Easter! Happy Easter social justice warriors. Yeah, happy Easter douchebags. Let's play some more douchebags Naomi Klein Now this is really douchebaggy what she's doing Don't forget that we have two of these women There's Naomi Wolf and Naomi Klein Yeah this is the douchebag Naomi Wolf is the one that is at least... She's at least sane Yeah she's woke She's... well, I don't know about that. But Naomi Klein if i'm not unless I'm mixing the two of them up is the one who's just a hard-ass left winger that is just insufferable. I just had another great idea we need to have federations with names that's how it's going to work just like Star Trek so we'll have the FEMA region 6 federation That's what will be stuck in a FEMA camp this is what we need to do split it up into FEMA regions. I like where you're talking to me as though I give a shit

2:05:25 It's like, we need to do this. You're the nerd in this thing! You're doing all of this stuff because you are knee deep into the mastodon subculture and when you talk about it with me, you are pretty much talking to yourself just so I can let you know. Not being offensive here but I'm telling you that your knee deep. I don't know if I can help ya'. I understand. I don't know if i can save you John it's okay as a tech writer, I wouldn't want to investigate at all either Thank You war room thank you good one All right this is Naomi Klein she's the activist she wants you to destroy Trump step 4 be a nuisance boycotts and sidewalk protests aren't polite say that's what she is

2:06:18 This is my best Easter ever. Step four, be a nuisance. Boycotts and sidewalk protests aren't the only way to wreak havoc with Trump's businesses What if a whole lot of people made reservations at Trump hotels and resorts? And then all those people changed their minds right before the cancellation deadline Yeah! No what would happen is they'd all get charged on their credit card you doofus Now, I'm not suggesting anyone do this. No! Of course. Of course. I'm just wondering what would happen? And what if customers who really did want to book reservations had a hard time getting through because so many other people were calling to express their views on Trump's attacks on the EPA or mass detentions of immigrants? Mass detentions of immigrants, John. When did that happen? Well that's what the FEMA camps have always been for. The funny thing is about I'm gonna let you continue to play this but i should mention does she really think

2:07:15 that these guys who are lighting dumpsters on fire and throwing bagels... kick the can. Really, they're getting ready to sit down and- Bagels in dumpsters? Bagels in bins! Bagels in bins Are they going to do this think the same people gonna get us start getting on the phone and making random reservations to- They're not thinking- Uh hello I'm uh Antifa make a reservation at uh yeah give me the presidential suite Like that it's nonsense. Okay? Yeah, she's nuts yes anyone do this of course I'm just wondering what would happen and and what if customers who really did want to book reservations had a hard time getting through because so many other people were calling to express their views on Trump's attacks on the EPA or mass detentions of immigrants or losing their health insurance I never said repeal it

2:08:10 and replace it within 64 days. I have a long time! Now, if you go this route please be polite the person answering the phone almost certainly gets paid less than they deserve and could be secretly trying to form a union You know what? That is more effective than they're doing now Her ideas are good but who's listening to her It's not gonna... yes who's listening to her and who's going to do anything other than sit down smoke some weed Hey, man. And watch television watch the Warriors said to play off game. Oh no No, we're playing war of world World of Warcraft or some oh okay Wow yeah We're not doing anything else Now this was a good one you probably saw this sort version of it This is a is a call but well to call back to sweaty Sean saying

CHAPTER 38 / 48 Discussion

Chris Matthews and the Hitler Chemical Weapon Claim

A 2013 clip of Chris Matthews claiming Hitler never used chemical weapons is resurfaced to contrast with the recent media outrage over Sean Spicer's similar comments. The hosts discuss why Matthews received a "pass" while Spicer was excoriated. They also touch on the sensitivity of jokes regarding Jewish control of media and the different standards applied to Saturday Night Live.

chris matthews· sean spicer· hitler· chemical weapons· world war ii

2:09:05 You know, that Hitler never used chemical weapons. If you haven't seen Chris Matthews from 2013 now is your chance And I don't like it First of all, I'm rather dubbish but i don't like what im going to say but its true if you basically put down a red line and say dont use chemical weapons and its been enforced in the western community around the world international community for decades dont use chemical weapons We didn't use them in World War II Hitler didnt use them We don't use chemical weapons. That's no deal, although we do know that Assad's father did." Hmm... strange no one excoriated him for that? No! That's because nobody listens to his show. This is also true Everybody listens to Sean... sweaty Sean You know and here's another question I have So last night i watched the opening of Saturday Night Live

2:09:56 Obviously I watched because Jimmy Fallon was hosting and I think he's a very talented guy. I don't like his show that much, but I think it is very talented. You don't like the Jimmy Kimmel Show? I thought you did! No not Kimmel... Fallon, Fallon, Fallon, Fallon Oh Fallon Yeah Fallon was hosting Now when I lost my train of thought, what the hell was i going to talk about? You were talking about Saturday Night Live and Fallon was on. Right so McCarthy came on did Sweaty Sean and she did a whole Easter thing and Sweaty Sean was dressed up in a Easter bunny suit Did at least five funny but five Jew jokes Why is it okay from the Anti-Defamation League

2:10:52 Why is that okay? Why is it-is it okay to do funny, to make the say the same things evil people are saying and say them as a joke. Why is that okay? Well everything's okay if it's a joke well they you know I I'm just saying what the thinking would be to rationalize what you just asked. That would be what i'd say everything is it's a joke, it's supposed to be funny have a sense of humor! The reason why i'm sensitive about this is because i once said something in the Netherlands almost 30 years ago... You were joking? And obviously i didn't make a joke but they sat me down and i had to apologize and was a big deal well let's hear this story

2:11:39 By the way, I want to mention everybody out there who helps this show and contributes to the show. They donate to the show and they produce it all. On any given show...I tell this to people Adam or myself would be fired two or three times In the normal circumstance, but since we work for ourselves and we produce this show We have our own infrastructure. There's nobody can stop us We could do a lot of stuff that is that would get get us fired But now we have an example that Adam is gonna give us of him actually almost getting fired over something Yeah, so this must have been in 85 or 86 in the Netherlands I was on the official radio either and in the Netherlands And there what it was? It was

2:12:29 I'm trying to think what it was in relation to, but anyway there was a news item and in the news item with something about some guy said well you know do you see how... It had to do with Israel and Palestine or something like that. I don't really...I'd have to look it up to remember the specifics then he said no you know the reason why this gets attention is you know look at who's running the media in America And I commented and I said well you know he's got a point there You know the names you see on the credit rolls in Hollywood often end with Steen And man, especially the Netherlands. People lost their crap over that. There was one very famous singer and she said when he said that I just remembered the Nazis jackboots walking down the hallway while i was hiding. That's the kind of stuff that happened to me

2:13:18 And it was really just a, you know, been off the cuff comment I learned obviously. And then to see then the... It's I think it's the what's called the CO... I forget the name that you know like an ADL of Netherlands Robbie something or other. I mean he started making statements in the newspaper and they're calling for my... I was like oh hold on! I'll come over let's sit down let's talk about it. I really am pleased And the point was, jokes or offhanded remarks propagate the lies that the Jews run the banks, the Jews run the media etc. So jokes like that propagate the lies even though they're a joke I just don't understand why a pass is given. Okay so you gave us your story which turned out to be a little bit...

2:14:21 And now you're wondering why would essentially is the same material on Saturday Night Live, they are getting away with what you couldn't get away with and you were just... You were actually probably more nonchalant than they are. They're actually planning this. This is written down it's on a teleprompter. Yes So there's many people involved as more of a conspiracy Yes, yes. Yeah an actual conspiracy yeah by the way I've been saving the crickets on you know the war room just went nuts over The crickets they want that to come back as soon as possible well That's the one I told you it saved that was looking for an opportunity couldn't find one I'm so happy that you can I mean So I feel like a Jew now you have not gotten a cheap laugh off of insulting me Thank you for making my point

CHAPTER 39 / 48 Discussion

Fat Shaming and Atlanta Strip Club Culture

The hosts discuss a "fat shaming" comment comparing someone to an "Atlanta stripper." This leads to a digression about the cultural history of strip clubs in Atlanta, specifically the rivalry between Methodists and Baptists. Famous clubs like The Gold Club and Cheetah are mentioned in the context of the city's reputation.

fat shaming· atlanta· strip clubs· gold club· cheetah

2:15:07 I'm sorry. Thank you for making my point. But see how easy, I apologize? I'm sorry I made it...I did that because I know exactly- I was surprised you're even speaking to me but let's get back to the point which is I think you're right why could they shouldn't be saying any of this stuff thank you do have any examples no sadly i didn't i didn't i didn't get any clippage i pulled a different clip that is much more important Okay, I was sitting at the table. This is the weekly news update and this is a prediction from the one and only John C Dvorak I was sitting at the table we had finished dinner We're now having dessert And we had the most beautiful piece of chocolate cake that you've ever seen You don't know what cakes I've seen

2:16:04 And second, maybe you should take it easy on the cake. You already got a butt like an Atlanta stripper." There it is! And it was the exact shot you used in the newsletter of his big fat ass with his coat tail waving up which we think was probably enhanced in Photoshop? Yeah interesting but they're fat shaming these people are...they're abhorrent But listen to what he says again And second, maybe you should take it easy on the cake. You already got a butt like an Atlanta stripper A butt like an Atlanta stripper? Wow! Racist much?! Oh I'm sorry he's a black guy it's okay to say it Well also I've been too many a strip club in Atlanta

2:16:54 What's the Panther leopards what's it called well the gold club was that one tiger? Oh, it's cut something an animal. It's a cheetah Cheetah was really asserted I haven't been there for 10 years But there was a cert by the giant gold Club which was the place that was I know must have been 100 girls there and And you go, you take people there. This is a ridiculous place because it was a cultural thing going on in Atlanta between the Methodists and the Baptists. And to make the point that, you know, the Methodist made the point of allowing all these strip clubs that kind of take over this city just to kinda needle the Baptists who they know would never go to these places even though I'm sure they all did

2:17:41 And I'm telling you, I think that generality is an insult to the city. That's bullcrap! It totally... total bullcrap it's an insult in so many ways like an Atlanta stripper. I don't know man being... No here..I know one thing we know strippers. Straight from Reseda here she is Raven give it... Ah good times I missed club 33 good times in the club man. Good times in the club then we have These people are and you're right, and this it's common but again You know where was just being funny as a joke? We're just kidding around You know it's yeah, but it's bigger than that anybody well Yeah, now you should add some clippage. I think there was a disappointment Well, you know

CHAPTER 40 / 48 Discussion

Borussia Dortmund Bus Bombing and Soccer Extremism

German authorities are investigating a bombing targeting the Borussia Dortmund soccer team bus. While initial letters suggested an Islamist motive, experts now believe they were forgeries intended to frame Islamists. Investigators are looking into right-wing and left-wing extremist groups, including potential links to rival soccer fans from Leipzig. An Iraqi man was arrested but reportedly not in connection with the bus attack.

borussia dortmund· soccer· germany· false flag· leipzig

2:18:37 It is a disappointment and I suck. So let's go back to the terrorist stuff because I did want to get the Dortmunder stuff. Yeah, let's do something uplifting for a change Now in Dortmund... now the soccer team, the bust of the Dortmund soccer team yeah this is actually a very interesting story was not covered in the United States at all very little but they covered it in Europe obviously because it's so important anything. Soccer, soccer, which is what they want us to you know the globalists want the United States to be a soccer loving country so we can be part of the globalist scheme. Yeah they should be hyping this yeah no nations and borders and everyone has a football team that's the whole idea. That's a proxy for your...you want to get out of your system go to the game and beat up the opponents. Just like just like football on basketball in our Federation

2:19:30 We don't have that kind of the violence that they have with soccer. Have you ever seen an 18 win, please? Let's play the Dortmunder attack, part one. So we get German prosecutors investigating Tuesdays bombing of the Borussia Dortmund soccer team bus. They have quote considerable doubt about the authenticity of three letters found at the scene of the attack on these documents claimed to be written in the name of a law investigators though are now saying they believe these are forgeries that were intended to deliberately suggest an Islamist motive Experts in Islamic studies analyzed these texts and concluded they were likely not written by Islamists. Well joining me now in the studio is our political correspondent Simon Young, Simon welcome why do investigators

2:20:16 Why do investigators believe that these are fakes? What's the evidence? Yeah, I mean there are several things. The investigator said straight away after this attack that they thought it was these letters were a little bit unusual not typical for Islamist attacks in Germany to claim responsibility in this way usually done by other means if at all also there were no symbols of any Islamists group on on these letters. And now some Islam experts have had a look at them, and they've concluded that despite the references to being in the name of Allah and so on that they don't think that these letters are authentically originating from an Islamist group. OK, sir if an Islamist group didn't leave these notes who did? False flag! That's what they're going to say isn't it

2:21:08 No, actually it's even funnier because this is another to me as this story unfolds just proves that we should never really adopt soccer as a national game. So let's play part two. Yeah well that is still an open question but sources in the German media say that police are investigating or focusing their investigation in particular on extremist groups, left-wing extremists right wing extremists and there are even some suggestions that there may be links to right wing football related groups particularly in Saxony. That is an area of Germany that has had a problem with this particularly around

2:21:53 the club in Leipzig but also elsewhere and of course Leipzig and Saxony have also been centers of right-wing street protests in recent times so the idea is obviously that people from that with those kind of views might be trying to suggest that this attack had been carried out by Islamists. The Leipzig soccer team tried to blow up the Dortmunders! That's exactly what happened Yeah, but here's the... And can I just add to that? Yeah. I have reports that the explosive used were explosives that are used exclusively by German military Yes this is a problem with soccer now

2:22:38 Now, the thing is meanwhile they caught some guy from Iraq which is clip three and they just stick him with it anyway. They don't care. So that's one working theory but authorities at the same time did arrest... I like how she... No no that's one working theory but shut up! I don't like it. Okay so that's a one working theory but authorities at the same time did arrest to 26 year old Iraqi in city of Wuppertal? Did they not? Yeah, yeah. They did and They've arrested him, but not in relation to the Dortmund bus attack. He's being investigated in relation to suggestions that he is a member of his so-called Islamic State and that he led a unit in Iraq which carried out kidnappings and killings. So it would appear that man was on the radar all along

2:23:25 as an Islamist, he was picked up because he was in the general vicinity of this attack and now police and authorities have decided to prosecute him anyway. Alright Simon Young our political correspondent- Prosecute him anyway! I'm gonna give you Borderline for that. So the German law authorities are very much like ours let's just frame this guy Unreal And we're done Jeez, jeez. You know why? It's because the cops are all fans of the home team Yeah Dortmund! Yeah you don't want to mess with that That is not reported No it was not reported at all That is really good John I like that Let's stay in Euroland for a moment This is a holdover clip it happened last week

CHAPTER 41 / 48 Discussion

Hungary Border Fence and EU Migrant Ultimatum

Hungary is building a second barbed-wire fence on its southern border to block the "Western Balkan route" for refugees. The European Union has issued an ultimatum to Hungary to accept more migrants or face consequences. Estimates suggest over 6 million people are waiting to enter the EU as "spring is coming" and migration patterns increase.

hungary· european union· migrant crisis· border fence· balkan route

2:24:17 Both I really played this for because it's happening in Poland But the report is about Hungary and there's a pretty much an ultimatum has now been laid down from Brussels because you've got to accept more migrants or leave the block. Hungary says it's building a new fence at its southern border to keep out refugees and migrants A barbed wire barrier was erected in 2015 along its frontier with several Balkan neighbours as the country looked to stop people crossing into its territory A government spokesman said this measure is needed as Europe might face a huge wave of refugees later this year. It's related to everything that is happening at the European borders, in that respect obviously it is related to the Turkey agreement

2:25:02 But it's related rather to the fact that the estimated number of those who are still at the so-called Western Balkan route is around 80,000. Spring is coming we see that around Europe according to a German estimate there are at least 6.5 million people waiting to enter the European Union The measures form part of a move to shut down the so-called Western Balkans route. Human Rights Watch said in a statement that the European Commission should not stand by while Hungary makes a mockery of the right to seek asylum Oh man, it's a couple things jumped out at me in that report So six million is what the European Union still needs if they want please

CHAPTER 42 / 48 Discussion

Turkey Referendum and Erdogan's Power Grab

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is seeking sweeping new powers through a constitutional referendum. Critics fear the changes will lead to a dictatorship, while Erdogan claims they are necessary for stability following a failed coup. The vote comes amid high tension with the EU and a "climate of fear" involving the arrest of thousands of judges, journalists, and academics.

recep tayyip erdogan· turkey· referendum· european union· authoritarianism

2:25:44 And spring, spring is coming. I like that too. Spring is coming of course That's when it all gonna start moving spring spring is coming the Arab Spring all across Europe God yeah It's a disaster and today wait no No Let's not today as we speak polls are closing in Turkey for the which is exactly where I was going and I have a great clip I have a transition clip Turkey's President Tayyip Erdogan has ramped up his anti-EU rhetoric on the eve of a referendum which would hand him sweeping powers. Erdogan told supporters in Istanbul he would review Ankara's relationship with Brussels as he seeks to shore up support for the constitutional changes needed to transfer more power away from Parliament, to the president

2:26:33 The EU has lost all credibility. We don't defend democracy, human rights and freedoms because they want us to we do that because our citizens deserve it As we move closer to democracy they are moving away from it Also in Istanbul the No campaign formed a symbolic human chain on the European side of the Bosphorus strait which divides Asia and Europe They fear the constitutional changes would see Turkey lurch towards authoritarianism. I'm here for my children and for a Turkey where the values I was born with remain, and where my children can continue to think freely and where journalists and teachers are not put behind bars."

2:27:19 The vote comes at a time of turmoil with the country reeling from a series of bombings by ISIL and Kurdish militants, a failed coup and deep economic slowdown. Something which the president says requires stronger leadership to bring under control. Now before we get your clip I had two thoughts about this third time i heard it By the way, that woman sounds exactly like Trisha Nakamura or whoever it is on The Family Guy who does that mock reporting. It's her! I'm sure its her. This side gig So two things, one because you're talking about Erdogan saying we're fighting the authoritarians. And of course when I think authoritarians in no agenda thinking this is the black block, this is these crazy people who are bashing bins and throwing bagels and the thought I had right on top of that... so my first thought was maybe this guy's right? Maybe he's doing the right thing? He seems like a turd.

2:28:15 He seems evil, but maybe he's doing the right thing for himself and with the crazy ass European starship. And the second thought I had is you know how people always say how is it possible that the Germans intelligent people that they became these Jew killing haters? Look around at what's happening right now in the world and you'll understand. Because it's not the crazy alt-right people, no! It's the other side And your gonna wake up one day and go how did we let it come so far? That's the thesis in a number of books, novels. I think John Dos Passos wrote one and it was banned from intellectual circles after the book came out which implied that as the left that is the danger Yeah and i just got fired on a real radio station again but yeah that's what i was thinking like hey you know look at these guys they're thugs now they're larping thugs but their thug

2:29:24 And look at what they're doing. I'm gonna get some scalps! Okay, well... Yeah, I'm gonna get some scalps. That's the woman that deserved in this case after she punched a guy to get punched back. Then she had a concussion. Oh please Well, this is the Turkey everyone run down from. I believe this is Deutsche Welle. It might be RT but it's Deutsche Welle and it has a slightly...it kind of pushes back on your just that little moment you just had there with the possibility he's a good guy and I think its uh..and I have to explain some of the stuff that was shown then we'll talk about after the clip, after you play the clip. Turkey as a country sharply divided ahead of a referendum. Ah CBS!

2:30:12 I'm sorry? CBS. CBS with their definitive report. Of course! Sunday that could greatly increase the Turkish president's power Turkey is a NATO ally and key player in the fight against terror across its borders in Syria and Iraq Here's Holly Williams This is no ordinary vote, it's a turning point. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan tells his adoring base many of them poor religious conservatives from the country's hinterland He is campaigning to weaken Turkey's courts and lawmakers giving himself sweeping new powers We trust him Ayla Şük told us and will support him with our yes votes God willing

Erdogan's Presidential Palace and Sultan Ambitions

CBS News reporter Holly Williams describes Erdogan's new 1,000-room presidential palace as a symbol of his imperial ambitions. The architecture and the presence of guards in traditional Ottoman-era garb suggest a desire to be a "modern-day sultan." The mass purge of political enemies continues to divide the NATO ally.

recep tayyip erdogan· presidential palace· sultan· holly williams· cbs news

2:29:24 And look at what they're doing. I'm gonna get some scalps! Okay, well... Yeah, I'm gonna get some scalps. That's the woman that deserved in this case after she punched a guy to get punched back. Then she had a concussion. Oh please Well, this is the Turkey everyone run down from. I believe this is Deutsche Welle. It might be RT but it's Deutsche Welle and it has a slightly...it kind of pushes back on your just that little moment you just had there with the possibility he's a good guy and I think its uh..and I have to explain some of the stuff that was shown then we'll talk about after the clip, after you play the clip. Turkey as a country sharply divided ahead of a referendum. Ah CBS!

2:30:12 I'm sorry? CBS. CBS with their definitive report. Of course! Sunday that could greatly increase the Turkish president's power Turkey is a NATO ally and key player in the fight against terror across its borders in Syria and Iraq Here's Holly Williams This is no ordinary vote, it's a turning point. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan tells his adoring base many of them poor religious conservatives from the country's hinterland He is campaigning to weaken Turkey's courts and lawmakers giving himself sweeping new powers We trust him Ayla Şük told us and will support him with our yes votes God willing

2:30:58 But President Erdogan's critics say this referendum could smooth the path for him to become a dictator. There is a new climate of fear here in Turkey which began nine months ago when an attempted military coup came close to ousting President Erdogan from power In response, a mass purge of anyone Erdogan's government views as an enemy. Around 50,000 have been arrested including more than 2,000 judges and prosecutors as well as journalists university professors doctors a concert pianist and an American pastor who's lived here for more than 20 years

2:31:41 Barbaros Shantzal is a fashion designer who just spent two months in prison for posting comments online that offended the government. One iron bed, one blanket three steps to three steps caged air alone totally alone He was beaten by a pro-government mob in January and is so worried it'll happen again he rarely leaves his house. That's a pretty frightening thought in what is supposed to be a democracy. Are you saying Turkish democracy is finished?

2:32:17 In Erdogan's new 1,000 room presidential palace he is surrounded by the trappings of Turkey's imperial past. Some here fear his real ambition is to become a modern day sultan for life. Holly Williams CBS News Istanbul Sounds about right to me that's how I do it Now Holly was the one on the border of Syria constantly but she actually floats around Turkey This time stated she wasn't on the border, she was actually doing a report from where she's supposed to be doing her report. Now this thing that got me was the 1,000 room presidential palace that he had built for himself which talks of guy in Ukraine for sure who had big mansions there. Saddam Hussein even! It's even better than his palace. Yeah well Saddam had a lot of places though so this guys got...so they show the place it looks like the Lincoln Center in New York and their architecture is kind of funny but

2:33:14 The thing that got me was a picture of Erdogan. There's a big stairway, big giant stairway that comes up from I guess the first floor is like three stories high so they get second floors it's a big long stairway and on either side of the stairway were guys dressed in these like traditional garb from the 1800s all different ones and there was maybe 20 of them on each side and they're just very imposing looking crazy characters in this, in chain mall and night stuff and all this. Excellent! And everyone's walking proudly down the middle with these two...with these guys on either side and I'm looking at that going yeah that's exactly what he wants to be. He wants to be a sultan. The guy is insane. He was elected to a position that had just it wasn't even a powerful position No, not at all It was ceremonial

Sanjay Gupta and the Flu Pandemic Native Ad

CNN featured a "native ad" sponsored by Johnson & Johnson, presented as a news story by Dr. Sanjay Gupta about an impending flu pandemic. The report warns that a mutated virus from birds or pigs could "bring humanity to its knees." The hosts critique the segment as a "sketchy" setup for future pharmaceutical sales or government control.

sanjay gupta· cnn· johnson & johnson· flu pandemic· native advertising

2:34:11 Yeah, and he's taking the ceremony part a little far. I get it. He's not a good guy. This guy is trouble! Hey, I gotta apologize...I don't know what happened but we are late now We were just having too much fun 10 minutes! And i'm sorry we got to do a second donation segment Well let's do the second donation segment to finish up and then be done Okay, take us in this way This happened to me yesterday I am on CNN dot com because I wanted to find a piece that I had seen aired That didn't get the clip And right in the middle, there's this big... Right in the middle of their homepage is a big thing and it says The Big One Is Coming And It's Going To Be A Flu Pandemic I'm like oh crap. I haven't heard about this so click on it This is a native ad, this page and its sponsored by Johnson & Johnson The article was written by Sanjay Gupta, the resident doctor over there at CNN

2:35:02 And I, oh let me see this video. That should be fun and the video was preceded by an ad which in this case i kept in there It's a rotating ad so there's like...I saw four different versions In this case it's one of the Ebola doctors who went and saved everybody from the Ebola crisis and its Johnson & Johnson Ad that rolls into the story and here is I think when you're faced with the disaster that strikes a country. You do see that people care there's a huge sense of accomplishment when you see that what you do can potentially make a difference." So, that was the ad right and it's one of those positioning ads like they put on PBS or NPRs like oh yes Johnson & Johnson works with doctors who saved the world and then the story

2:35:57 20 years, 30 years. There will be a pandemic and it will have the potential to bring humanity to its knees. New strains of influenza are already infecting birds in over 75 countries and the way we are interacting with the animal world is putting us at risk We encroach on wetlands so wild birds mix more frequently domestic poultry our food trade is completely globalized and factory farms are growing in scope and size. With all influenzas, there is some critical moment when a virus circulating in one species of say birds manages to mutate in a form that allows it to get into say pigs

2:36:52 And then from there to spread easily between people. We've seen this over and over, it's going on all the time right at this moment." And that is the story I'm not sure exactly what they are selling but to me it feels more like a setup and they bring in the pigs again The swine Yeah This thing went...to me was really really sketchy I think you're watching too much CNN, personally. Well someone's gotta do it. Someone's got to do it and its important that someone does that. It's important? Its important that someone does that and so I'm saying... You should just sound for your own health No my mental hygiene is okay I'm just saying that beware... Or MSNBC mixed in would be good Pandemic is on the way people!

Birthday Announcements and Neil Gorsuch's "Hazing"

After reading listener birthdays, the hosts discuss the swearing-in of Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch. Media reports highlight the "clerical functions" the junior justice must perform, such as holding the door and serving on the cafeteria committee. The hosts joke about the "hazing" rituals Gorsuch might face from the more senior justices.

Dodge Challenger Demon and High Horsepower Cycles

The New York International Auto Show featured the debut of the Dodge Challenger Demon, an 840-horsepower production drag car. The hosts discuss the cyclical nature of high-horsepower vehicles, recalling the 1970s Hemi Cuda and the subsequent insurance crackdowns. They marvel at the technology of the 6.2-liter supercharged engine while questioning the practicality of such power on public highways.

dodge challenger demon· hemi v8· new york auto show· horsepower· insurance

2:53:35 Can car makers keep US consumers fired up about their latest offerings? At the New York International Auto Show, they're hoping the simple recipe of bigger stronger faster will keep consumer demand motoring along. Enter the Dodge Challenger Demon packing 840 horsepower and a 6.2 liter Hemi V8 Dodge claims it's the fastest thing on American highways This isn't just a Dodge. This isn't just the Challenger, no this is the most technologically advanced street legal production drag car ever. That sounded like an Apple keynote Well I'll tell you this 800 horsepower cars should not be on the highway now Is that even know what they would do around here? It's one of those where they have an electric motor alongside No, no there's just a straight-up as far as I know it's just a straight up monster supercharged

2:54:29 6 liter 800 horsepower car which is the kind of thing you'd find in some exotic and it's in a Dodge Dodge this reminds me I have to do a call back here because I was around in the 70s when they hand me CUDA And some of these other hot rods. I remember that, the Kuda yeah The Hemi-Kuda which was this hot rod that was 450 horsepower or something like that even though and they didn't cry it was Chrysler Corporation once again doing this and they get insurance companies threw up their arms and said we're not insuring these cars anymore You guys are next to be driving them. And so you want to buy, you want to drive around a Hemi Cudi? You're going to pay like six times as much for insurance." Sure and so everybody backed off and all of a sudden now you're getting Corvettes with 150 horsepower thereafter and everything was like down Oh God okay whatever and so that everything got real slow then I noticed over the last 10 years it's been

2:55:25 stepping up, there's a Cadillac out there with 650 horsepower you can buy. And there are all these high-horsepower cars coming out and now this is going to happen again just as a cycle in the same time frame. The cycles gonna say oh too much we don't want these things on the street. You know some guy you know yeah pull the plug on it once again and were gonna see really low horsepower Crap, this thing. This thing is great it has the supercharged 6.2 liter Hemi SRT Demon V8 engine armed with a functional functional air grabber hood scoop and torque reserve launch system I just got hard hey you know what? You know what i just learned the other day did you know that Formula One cars do you know that they're only 1.8 liters

2:56:14 Yes, and they delivers a crapload of horsepower. They're very high performance Yeah, it could and I was like what so it's under two liters That's 1 3rd of less than 1 3rd of this thing oh yeah But then how they do it is they do 19 thousand RPMs Oh yeah? No there are roller bearings the whole insane I didn't realize but I'll tell you this about one point eight liters So I my daughter has a Volkswagen that's got at one point 8 liter turbo in it yeah Oh, the turbo. I'll tell you that thing is like a bat out of hell! Yeah Bat out of hell phrase from The Shays for the next show. Yeah, phrase from The Shays. Bat out of hell. For the next show yeah perfect. It's good writing it down Well i like this thing and it looks great. God why? You get one! I can't afford this what does it cost? Yeah bitch its way way overpriced. I can't if...I can afford the car just not the insurance thats the problem let me see they don't say how much it's gonna cost maybe they haven't announced the price yet

2:57:10 But I admire the fact that they did this. And they brought it out on the TV. Well, you know this is always a sign... It's very pretty car! ...that the cost of gas is going to go down. Well either that or we're just gonna go up. We don't know anymore. Let me see price. Let me ask the consultant book of knowledge here for price what does this thing gonna cost? Yeah, it's probably not been triggered. That was all right with that was that's great thing That's all you got we should probably end the show on that high note yeah We can I like that I got a couple of good clips here for the end including everyone's favorite everybody Definitely want to thank people for tuning in on Easter yeah And then there is the Warriors game today right after this show go check it out and let me just see how many people we still had 918 despite it being Easter that's not bad and that's the tail end of the show
