About this episode

The Los Angeles Sheriff's Department is deploying 3,000 deputies equipped with Narcan as the opioid crisis intensifies. While Adapt Pharma maintains a virtual monopoly on the nasal spray, critics argue the aggressive marketing of Naloxone may inadvertently lower the perceived risk of heroin use. This pharmaceutical push coincides with a broader debate on public safety and the emergence of over 60 no-go zones in Sweden where parallel social structures challenge state authority.

In Washington, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi faces internal pressure to resign following Democratic losses in special elections, though her half-billion-dollar fundraising prowess keeps her leadership secure. Meanwhile, Jane Sanders is under FBI scrutiny for alleged bank fraud involving a Burlington University land purchase. On the international stage, a Washington Post report by Greg Miller claims Vladimir Putin personally orchestrated interference in the 2016 election, while the DNC disputes claims by former DHS Secretary Jay Johnson regarding federal assistance during the hacks.

This episode features the knighting of David Adema and a deep dive into the Shmoo, Al Capp’s fictional creature from Li'l Abner that provided for all human needs. Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak also examine the neurochemistry of lobsters through the lens of Jordan Peterson to explain modern dominance hierarchies. The show concludes with a look at North Korea’s attempt to build a Spanish-style tourist resort and the curious case of CIA contractors stealing $3,000 in snacks from vending machines.

CHAPTER 02 / 41 Discussion

Naloxone Promotion, Heroin Epidemic, and Adapt Pharma

The Los Angeles Sheriff's Department is equipping 3,000 deputies with Naloxone, branded as Narcan, to combat the opioid epidemic. Concerns are raised that the aggressive marketing and over-the-counter availability of nasal spray Narcan may inadvertently propagate heroin use by removing the fear of overdose. Adapt Pharma is identified as the manufacturer benefiting from the unrelenting media promotion of the product.

01:28 Now, we know that in Los Angeles the crack epidemic... The crack epidemic. That would be a professor at Santa Barbara. You know, a lot of that relates back to Iran-Contra, the cocaine being brought in by the US government, by CIA being... Developed by the government, crack itself developed by the government and then sold on to enslave the poor people certainly in beginning of Los Angeles now. around the country. And I see something similar happening with heroin and there's a development which

02:06 It's not entirely new, but the product is new. And I think that this is not meant to stop people—well it is meant to save people—I believe this is all about the promotion of heroin use. Have a listen to this report from RT. The L.A. Sheriff's Department is really trying to prevent the opioid epidemic from taking hold in Los Angeles and killing as many people as it has on the West Coast…or I'm sorry on the East Coast and in the Midwest. So under this pilot program all of the sheriffs in the department, 3,000 of them. I'm sorry deputies they will be equipped with nalaxone which is also known by its name brand Narcan now this will be a nasal spray and it's a fast-acting anti opiate that reverses or blocks the effects of opioids in just minutes and these were first purchased by the department 1300 units

02:58 earlier this year but they now have gotten 5,000 additional doses which will allow the entire department to use these. Now deputies will have this available throughout LA County which includes the Crescenta Valley East Los Angeles and Santa Clarita Valley areas as well as preparing for the worst just based on what's going on throughout the country. And they do see overdoses every single day, and in fact they say that they respond often to entire groups of people who are overdosing so this will really allow them to save as many lives as possible because there are often the ones who get to the scene first before additional paramedics can get there. So those crucial minutes are very important for saving lives

03:55 Again, they say that this is not going to help solve the crisis but it will help save people and hopefully bring more awareness to the fact that this anti-opiate exists and hopefully get in the hands of other departments in Los Angeles and in California. Now what's new about this? is that I maybe, I didn't realize this but the Narcan and they have video of it comes in a very small... Naloxone. I guess is the brand name comes in a very small nose inhaler so you just shoot it in and you don't die This is not... I mean yes to save people but even oh we're in a group and So he can save whole group of people No! This is to propagate it do as much heroin as you want You'll have designated

04:41 Heroin user, who I guess won't be using. He'll have the Narcan. Eh, if you OD no worries! Back in two minutes it's beautiful This is not a good product. It means a great product for what it does but the way... ...it's being marketed over-the-counter In handy little dispenser? I have a problem with that Well I never thought about it As such, I started playing this clip and immediately you started getting suspicious that you're playing this clip with a hidden agenda. Yeah no...I got an agenda. You have an agenda? What's next it'll be help! I've fallen and i need my Narcan alert It's gonna be that simple. I don't know yeah it's good it's a good point

CHAPTER 03 / 41 Discussion

Adapt Pharma Market Monopoly and Viceland Documentary

Adapt Pharma holds a virtual monopoly on the first FDA-approved nasal form of Naloxone, leading to speculation about a future IPO driven by heavy public relations. A shift in discussion critiques a Viceland documentary regarding the burka ban in France. The documentary is criticized for focusing on schoolgirls' clothing choices rather than addressing the cultural tensions in European "no-go zones."

adapt pharma· big pharma· viceland· vice media· fda· opioid treatment

05:30 They seem for one thing, a couple of things that you brought to the fore is that this promotion for Narcan is unrelenting. Yeah it's on all the news networks just like somebody is public relations agency... You mean the news networks that live and die by big pharma? Yeah, and there this is I've never seen anything promoted so much exactly Let me just see who makes Narcan who makes it. I don't know but it sounds like a good investment about six months ago It's a company that apparently has They got the monopoly on it. Who was it come on? Whole article about how horrible they are with oh yeah adapt pharma there you go Adapt Pharma

06:20 Yes, adapt. What's your stock symbol? Let's take a look. Yeah now you're talking okay It's adapt pharma calm here visit the Narcan nasal spray website. Oh this is beautiful See this oh they don't even have a little video okay well let's I didn't this is unprepared Well, it didn't used to be nasal sprays that new yes That's what I'm saying here Narcan nasal spray is the first and only FDA approved nasal form of Naloxone for the emergency treatment of known or suspected opioid overdose Narcane as a spray contracts life-threatening effects of opioid overdose since the most time of Obama administering name in the drug company again adapt pharma Ada PT. Yeah, tell me what's this? What's their stock doing? I'm gonna look at it

07:05 Narcan nasal spray is not a substitute for emergency medical care. Always get immediate help even if the person wakes up because they may relapse into respiratory depression The use of narcan may result in symptoms of acute opioid withdrawal or anal leakage Yeah, and you look at four milligram They got this little disposed it's you know You got your disposable needles you've got your disposable narcan It's beautiful and no one is saying hold on a second It's one thing to have emergent EMTs supplied with this, but you can just go buy it over here. How to get let's see Oh it is a prescription product I stand corrected oh however there are many states where residents can purchase directly from a pharmacist without an Individualized prescription and let's see if my state is one of them okay? Yeah, let me see red

07:55 A physician with prescriptive authority issues a written order that allows Narcan nasal spray to be distributed. Okay, so in Texas you don't want OD in Texas you can't get it but it shouldn't be that hard they'll flood the market. I can't find any Adapt Pharma or anything that is listed oh they're not public? Well, I don't it doesn't make sense to me but they might not be maybe all this publicity for that purpose Maybe there are they're ramping up. Let me see look at their news We tried again okay, so we'll do adapt pharma s1 Just let's see No, I don't see any any filings Okay well accompany to keep our eye on they will have an IPO if this continues That's for sure

08:49 Look at the press releases. They usually in a typical Yeah, they haven't used it have an investor relations site which they don't really did they haven't got one of those either but using a press release still put their Symbol and in the release yeah And I see nothing no but anyway. I just think you know we should be a little thoughtful about what's going on here This is like yeah, and there's something skimmish about it I agree that and that kind of leads me to another thought just if we can just switch gears Because I finally found viceland on my cable box here Viceland the network that vice runs. Yeah, yeah Christina had a did a documentary for viceland in the Netherlands so um now it's not on the US viceland I think

CHAPTER 04 / 41 Discussion

Sweden No-Go Zones, Parallel Societies, and Mask Laws

A leaked report from Swedish police identifies over 60 "vulnerable areas" or no-go zones where parallel social structures have emerged and police face extreme difficulty. In the Rinkeby suburb of Stockholm, postal services and other providers have refused entry due to security concerns and mob attacks. The discussion explores the legality of face coverings like the niqab in the context of modern surveillance and facial recognition technology.

09:37 So I take a look at it, there's this woman, the millennial girl and she goes off to France and she is doing the whole thing about the head scarves. And the burka ban etc... It being vice, the entire take was, you can't tell people what they wear! Very little understanding for the cultural aspect of thousands or hundreds if not more than hundreds thousand years of...and I witnessed this in The Netherlands starting in 98-97 when what they call Stratbelt, the street view changes where instead of multicultural kibosh people it's a lot of black hoods. And it bothers people! It bothers people. Yeah, it does. Of course it does. You don't know what they're up to for one thing... But here is the problem In France we have no-go zones

10:27 And where the police does not go, actually there's a new report on Sweden now has come out and said we have 32 no-go zones. And I'm just gonna make a quick point about this, because again this is very strange to me. So this whole documentary's about girls who they want to go into school... Stop! You have to take off your headscarf okay? They take it off and then you know they want to adjust their headscarf after school. They can't do that in the bathroom. They have to go outside there's this jacked up mirror on the playground which it's not even a mirror it's just a shiny piece of metal

11:04 And that's what they, you know the whole thing is very sad for these... Bump it with your butt if you don't like it. But here's the thing They're going after school girls for a choice in what they wear and obviously if someone was being forced there are a lot of issues with Sharia but instead Going after girls and women on the beach, why don't you go in and kick some ass in these no-go zones? Anyone who's forcing their women to wear this crap beat them up arrest them throw him in the brink clean that shit up No none of that happens. None of that. You know me play this report from From Sweden

11:46 A leaked report by Swedish police says the number of so-called vulnerable zones in the country has jumped to 23. The areas, often described in Swedish media as no go zones have sprung up across the country particularly in larger cities. The report adds that a parallel social structure has emerged in those areas with police facing difficulty carrying out their duties there. hardly blames Islamic extremism for the problem. Some service providers have even refused to enter certain areas In April, mail provider Postnord wouldn't enter Stockholm's Rinkeby suburbs citing security concerns Rinkeby made headlines last year when police opened fire after a mob of around 30 people began attacking officers with rocks

12:31 In fact, the National Police Commissioner says the number of no-go zones is even higher than stated in the leaked report and he also called for a change of approach. Well, we see developments in our country which are not going in the right direction always. We have a bit more than 60 vulnerable areas around the major cities of Sweden and we see criminality there and we need to turn around development in those areas and we need assistance from other parts of society.

13:13 So, it baffles me. It baffles me that we go after women and girls on the street... Well they shouldn't harass those girls on the street that's for sure But also you can start by saying when you start by saying you can't wear this You know? That's the beginning of the end Well not necessarily I mean We had a number of laws in this country that said you can't wear a mask Okay, well then that's a law that stems from something. That's okay Is that still here? You can't... Yes it is not enforced as much as it used to be but every once in awhile somebody goes into Right but the mask is not a headscarf It's not a No but that black thing you wear I forgot what its called completely covers the face except for two eyes That's niqab Yeah that thing That should be illegal

14:04 How are we going to attract the citizenry with our cameras and voice recognition if we have all these faces covered? If I want to walk around on the street with a paper bag on my head, with two eyes holes cut out. Am i gonna get arrested? I hope so! Although you can just claim to be The Unknown Comic Yeah right... It's just that in the whole documentary they really don't go into the actual issue which is You've got to stop that ghetto- the ghettos! You've gotta stop it Well, the way I see it. Having studied Swedish sociology... Oh, I studied Swedish women for a while but uh.. Yeah well he didn't do very good job. They won't get this fixed until they figure out how to fix it and all of sudden it'll just get fixed

CHAPTER 05 / 41 Discussion

Multiculturalism Failure, David Cameron, and London Mayor

Former British Prime Minister David Cameron previously declared the doctrine of state multiculturalism a failure, arguing it encouraged segregated communities to live apart from mainstream values. The hosts compare Swedish and American approaches to social planning and implementation. They suggest that European leaders are struggling to address the weakening of collective identity caused by these failed integration policies.

david cameron· multiculturalism· sweden· germany· london· integration

14:56 I mean, they don't... It's interesting to note the way that Swedes do business compared to Americans. We like to get going and then we fix things as we go along. The Swedes are planners and so they spend 70%, 80% of their time planning something and then when they implement, their implementation goes very smoothly but it's only short. So just how long did they plan on ABBA? They're still planning apparently. No, I saw it in the Netherlands and Netherlands is a very typical country when it comes to no nations no borders. And people are like oh that's good let them do whatever this is good and now it's you know... Hey we have everyone all the leaders in Europe saying the multicultural society failed We never should have done it didn't work out. No they're not who's what leaders are saying this? Oh you've forgotten already was Cameron! Cameron's out yeah but This is how long ago it was

15:53 Well, they're not saying that in Germany or any place else. What I'm about to say is drawn from the British experience but i believe there are general lessons for us all In the UK, some young men find it hard to identify with the traditional Islam practiced at home by their parents whose customs can seem stayed when transplanted to modern Western countries. But these young men also find it hard to identify with Britain too because we've allowed the weakening of our collective identity Under the doctrine of state multiculturalism, we've encouraged different cultures to live separate lives apart from each other and apart from the mainstream. We failed to provide a vision of society which they feel they want to belong

16:42 We've even tolerated these segregated communities behaving in ways that run completely counter to our values. So when a white person holds objectionable views, racist views for instance we rightly condemn them but when equally unacceptable views or practices come from someone who isn't white we've been too cautious frankly and frankly even fearful to stand up to them." And now you know why he had to go It's just playing the game here. Oh, baby this is wrong Realism we got out we got the London mayor on deck yeah get out of here Get out put the London Mayor in guys not gonna rock the boat The London Mayor anyway Well produced that vice land I have to say well-produced Yeah, well that's good just completely dimension B but okay no yeah it is what it is

CHAPTER 06 / 41 Discussion

Jon Ossoff, Carpetbagger Definition, and Neil Campbell

Listener Neil Campbell provides a correction regarding the term "carpetbagger," explaining its origins as luggage made from old carpets used by poor people during the Civil War era. The hosts debate whether Georgia congressional candidate Jon Ossoff fits the definition of a carpetbagger. They conclude that running for office in a district where one does not currently reside justifies the pejorative label.

jon ossoff· carpetbagger· neil campbell· georgia· civil war· facebag

17:39 Well, what do we got here? Well. We have a rectification to make about what well I wanted to read a little face bag post Mainly because it's written in the typical face bag fashion Oh dude is the face back reader gonna be older yeah The face bag readers is good to go um jacked up on caffeine okay Go this is Neil Neil who also often does art for us who used to be Callie Lewis his partner Yeah Neil Campbell. Yeah, Neil and he likes the show He's a listener as a contributor but he said easy be finn the segment about all soft was so frustrating today because John was so massively uninformed about awesome and yet seemed so certain Awesome grew up in the district and lived there for many years of his life many more than to handle woman

18:35 He lived outside the district a few times in his life for work and for relationship reasons, but you guys came down solidly on the false notion that he is an outsider AND A CARPET BAGGER. And that was another HUGE frustration with this episode! John made up this weird idea about the term carpetbagger coming from Turkish rug sellers putting rugs in bags. It's so weird to me that anyone may have made it through ninth grade without learning that poor people made luggage from old carpets because that woven material was the strongest thing they had access to, could be used to carry their belongings! The reason the term carpetbagger is pejorative is because its a slur against poor people who are perceived to be opportunistic. The idea is they show up in our community with their belongings and carpetbags trying to take what's ours

19:17 Even when the show frustrates me you guys are always funny. Well, he's right about one thing He's not right about Dave boss up guy that's for sure a spook as we identified him yes But yeah, carpet bag is referred to luggage made out of old pieces of carpet sewn together in an awkward way. And you studied Civil War which is surprising that we got it wrong Yeah I actually knew this, which irksome It's surprising Well its just that I never remembered and you know it's not like reading a book at the moment Its so interesting when people fall over a mistake we make, its always these stupid small things

19:56 Yeah, well you make these mistakes. So it was an error and whether or not poor people like pack up their belongings and go to exploit some new area really is not the mechanism of the poor... Thank you. ...to be honest about it. And so there was an exploitative aspect to it. The poor in general at least throughout history aren't looking to exploit that's usually kind of an entrepreneurial class. And so that's kind of questionable, his analysis about the poor coming down to take their stuff. So that's very dubious but the bag thing... Yes the bag was bags made out of pieces of carpet. Since Neil did not explain what exactly is your source? Probably an unnamed source

20:53 That also was not from the area. Why why is he saying? He was he lived there longer than that handle woman He is not from the area I mean, he may have been in the area before or from the area That's true and my source is the campaign they made a big deal about him being a carpetbagger So it's not like a secret source. I mean if it was just part of the campaign this guy's not he's not He's not now currently living in the area. Now sure, he may have lived there when he was a kid, he may have lived there one year ago but he is not living there now

CHAPTER 07 / 41 Discussion

Bill Clinton Speaking Circuit, Chappaqua Backyard, and Tribalism

Bill Clinton returns to the public speaking circuit, appearing healthier following Hillary Clinton's election loss. A dubious report claims the FBI excavated human remains from the Clintons' Chappaqua backyard, though the hosts acknowledge the story is likely bogus. Bill Clinton's recent rhetoric focuses on the rise of global tribalism as a reaction to the financial crisis and economic inequality.

bill clinton· hillary clinton· chappaqua· fbi· tribalism· global finance

21:29 And I think that if you're gonna be running in an area for Congress, you should be living in that area and not the next door neighbor's area or one block over from where the boundary is. You should be living there. It just seems to me...I could be wrong. Maybe you could...I mean Hillary Clinton obviously when she ran for Senate in New York she wasn't a New Yorker. But the Democrats do this all the time. The Republicans have tried it, and that is successful but the Democrats do it all the time as well There's an opening spotless Bing bring Bill in a bill what are you doing this weekend? Speaking of bills on that first of all so Bill was out on the speaking circuit again He looks great It's almost as if

22:14 that Hillary was poisoning him. He doesn't have the hammer, he doesn't have the fear of being shot any minute of it. Because Hillary was a shoe and it was like oh she's gonna win no problem we don't need Bill to get killed It was either that or maybe she was just saying you need to shut up and I'm keeping you sick until I'm president And, I don't know this really hasn't made the news and i think it's real but now the total is 14 cadavers hacked up in different stages of preservation or decay have been excavated from the ground and steel barrels from the Clinton's backyard. Did you know about this? This is apparently... What?! Yes! So how come I don't know about this well it's Hillary News why would they why'd we put it on the news

23:10 William Mason, who owned the Chappaqua residence before the Clintons bought it was linked to I think most of the victims and he had other victims. But now another three which were in barrels, in some crude type of preservation liquid. So I guess someone can go back later... Sure it was a preservation liquid? You put in lye or something to dissolve the rocks? No no no not according to this report. The formaldehyde or alcohol or something? Yeah they say a crude preservation substance. Pee Anyway the FBI agents were digging up and then Hillary went over

23:49 and gave an envelope to one of the agents on the scene. It was an estimate from her landscaper for $340,000 dollars to fix her yard. Sounds about right. And buy the house! But, you know it's unfortunate that they have this... there is a kill list and then the dead body showing up in their backyard. I'm sure it's all just a complete coincidence. Oh just a coincidence! That could happen to anybody! Coincidence? I think not! Anyway so Bill is on the speaking circuit And he's got balls now. Now, you know... He's telling it like it is! We want to move forward as a nation. Sadly maybe he fails to realize that he's talking about his wife. I found then still find it profoundly alien that public rhetoric is divorced from the real lives of real people The rise of tribalism all over the world Is basically, I'm convinced

24:52 a reaction to the profound dislocations of the global financial crisis and the speed with which all the old social and economic arrangements have been uprooted, and the deepening decades-long trend toward greater inequality. But in the end what tribalism amounts to is politics rooted in a simple principle It's us versus them. I want us to win, and for us to win they have to lose." If you did that most of you would be out of a job. Creative societies are about multiplication not division. And good politics is about problem solving and opportunity seizing not how

25:40 to stretch the limits of acceptable use of power. That's how we got to be the longest lasting freely elected democracy in all of human history." Well, words to live by Bill. I thought Iceland was longer. Hope she's listening...I'm pretty sure that Clinton story is bogus by the way. Pretty sure about the new bodies? Oh i don't know anything about any of it so you can say whatever you want Instead of me saying something, you correctly identified weeks ago maybe months ago all this Russia Trump Putin it's all about the Democrats trying to win back House and Senate in the 2018 midterm elections. And Nancy Pelosi is on the block I hadn't even really thought about it

CHAPTER 08 / 41 Discussion

Donald Trump Tapes, James Comey, and Johnny Depp

Donald Trump's suggestion that he might have recorded conversations with James Comey is analyzed as a tactic to ensure the former FBI Director remained honest during testimony. The media's reaction to the "tapes" is characterized as a misunderstanding of Trump's tongue-in-cheek communication style. Actor Johnny Depp faces criticism for making comments regarding the assassination of a president during a public appearance.

donald trump· james comey· johnny depp· fbi· russia investigation· midterms

26:31 Until you mentioned it that yeah, she's the party is failing and they've got to throw somebody under the proverbial bus. Here's Krauthammer with some background. The idea that this is intimidation of a witness... ...is pure rubbish! This is about the tape. Is the M5M really this stupid? That they don't understand how they were played by this?! Trump says there's been a debate on some of the scatterbrained alphabet networks as to whether or not they're kind of faking a sincerity that they don't really have about some of these things.

27:19 Because what they admitted that because they're so stupid. Yeah, well, no They aren't they're not it's like to go about too But they can't bring themselves to because then they have to admit that most of Trumps materials is kind of You know, it's tongue-in-cheek a lot. It's put on... His list of lies, you know half of them are meaningless. Oh yeah I get that email to me too. Here is the list of lies! Okay. Yeah there, I can just see the Reddit exploding now The Trump Defense League is out again.

28:10 The Johnny Depp's and all these people you're threatening him Johnny Depp was a nice guy. This is just He was stolen, he was wasted I have a great amygdala clip for ya I got the Johnny Depp clip and yeah the thing that bothers me about it is not that he made this threat well That's bothersome but It's the crowd again we've noticed before say YAY! When did last time an actor assassinated a president? Yeah, assassin! Yeah, assassinate! And maybe it's time. Are you douche? The crowd loves that. Totally love it But I can't even feel- I don't even feel bad anymore Well I do People are ill They're just ill

CHAPTER 09 / 41 Discussion

Nancy Pelosi Leadership, Fundraising, and Democratic Party

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi faces internal pressure to step down following Democratic losses in special elections like Georgia's 6th district. Despite calls for her removal by members like Congressman Vela, Pelosi maintains her position due to her unprecedented ability to raise funds, totaling half a billion dollars. The hosts question the specific methods she uses to secure massive donations from Silicon Valley.

29:11 That's all I do have to pull it says you brought Pelosi and me ill. Yeah, you have her clip Yes, just heard defending herself she is crazy. She's completely insane yeah, I respect any opinion that my members have but My decision about how long I stay is not up to them a target And they always want to choose our leaders and usually they go after the most effective leaders You know I was I saw it on TV. I couldn't find it this morning where she said, I'm a very effective legislator or something like this. Like yeah, I mean outstanding legislator and so humble. Yes she did! So incredibly humble Nancy She says he...I don't care what they think i'm staying as long as I want that's not true Here's uh Congressman Vela who was out everywhere but he is.. I know if he's the spokeshole now for the Get Pelosi Out camp

30:05 But he's certainly not afraid. So money's not enough, you're saying anymore? Well I think that...I'm not saying that whoever comes in is going to be able to raise as much money as she is but the money will be raised. But the fact is when you take a look at those last four election cycles all of that money has been for naught. Look Nancy Pelosi has been leader for 2003 and one of the reasons is she's been able to fight off any competition are you afraid of retribution? No I am not afraid of retribution. My point

30:52 The fact that someone would say that is kind of odd. Are you afraid by calling her out of retribution? Who is it- It works. What kind of power does this woman have? I know now she raises the most money, that's- Well she raised apparently in her total so far is half a billion dollars. Not bad. And they keep bringing up this money and I think she's the one who got all that money out of Silicon Valley sent to this stupid Georgia 6 election. Right right The one thing that's never discussed, and they talk about she is the greatest money raiser in the history of the house. What is she doing? I want to know what some of her tricks are! Does she throw big parties or does she have a bailing list that's unbelievable?!

31:44 Well, I don't know that's a very good no either and they never tell us. They just tell us that she's the best But if somebody is the best don't you think someone would like to analyze this? Why is she the best I would be more interested in why is she the best than the fact that she's the best I want To know why well what's he doing all the reason get nothing Well The reason why is because of the amount of money She brings it and what you wanna know is how does she get those amounts of money oh Maybe she does the same thing Jane Sanders does. You've been following this, which finally now is it? They're trying to do everything we need to find other people who are to blame We're gonna blame everybody for everything but now we've got this one ah yes when a glom on to Bernie Let's get let's kick this guy in the nuts once and for all so Jane Sanders was running... what school was this

CHAPTER 10 / 41 Discussion

Jane Sanders Bank Fraud Investigation and VC Culture

Jane Sanders, wife of Senator Bernie Sanders, is under investigation for alleged bank fraud related to a land purchase for Burlington University. The case involves a $6 million loan secured under potentially false pretenses regarding fundraising goals. The discussion transitions into the difficulties of the venture capital world, noting that many "VCs" and "angels" often lack the actual funds they claim to manage.

jane sanders· bernie sanders· burlington university· bank fraud· venture capital· peter thiel

32:35 I think Burlington University. Yeah, Burlington University and they want she decided to buy a purchase of piece of land with the diocese from the diocese with church on it and it was naturally 33 acres of land Yay! And so she secured a six-something million dollar loan from... It's Bernie's wife we're talking about. Yes, from federal funds an additional three something million which was a second mortgage from the diocese itself based on her promise of raising two point something million dollars to get everything started

33:14 And at the end of the day, or the story in this case she had $250,000 that she raised not 2.3 million whatever was necessary therefore had to negotiate with the bank and with diocese to negotiate their money down The two million they didn't have which is now I believe that she's being sued Or will be sued for fraud with a federal institution, which yeah. And then there's all kinds of other shenanigans about how Bernie got this great mortgage for the his third home I think is that what Comrade Sanders has now three homes? So it was beautiful! It's just fantastic

34:02 Yeah, he's got it. They've got the tit in a ringer but this is again an example of people that don't know what they're doing thinking they do. I mean Bernie is not a rich guy. It's not poor by any means because he has been in the Senate so long but he's not like Pelosi she's considered to be one of the richest people in Congress if not THE richest billionaire at his level and I think these guys look around and say, wow geez. It's like people just want to do a VC startup. Yeah. I think I'm going to...I got a great idea! I'm gonna go get some VC money. They haven't got a clue yet. It's so easy. Just walk in knock-knock-knock. No, hey I need some money. I've been through that. I've got a really good idea. Oh here you go. Here is your money. Here ya go it's so easy. That's why guys like Zuckerberg have guys like Peter Thiel

35:01 It's a pain in the ass to go get some VC money. It's horrible, I've been through it and it is not a pleasurable experience. And many of the VCs don't have any money that's the joke of it there's a whole slew, a whole category of VCs that have no money in their fund. You have to ask around, you find out those guys haven't got any money they just play and they pretend they're pretend VC so then go to meetings and hang out with their pals. Have a Monday morning meeting? Yeah! They have meetings... Everybody pitch. Gives them something to do yeah but then when they raise new fun they have money to invest

CHAPTER 11 / 41 Discussion

James Comey Testimony, CNN vs Fox, and Public Trust Polls

The media coverage of the James Comey and Donald Trump "tapes" controversy highlights a divide between CNN's skeptical tone and Fox News's more favorable outlook. An NBC/Wall Street Journal poll indicates that Americans believe Comey over Trump by a two-to-one margin. The hosts argue that Trump's delay in clarifying the lack of tapes was a strategic move to wait for Comey's sworn testimony.

james comey· donald trump· cnn· fox news· nbc news· wall street journal

35:38 But that's about I'm talking about guys who don't even do that. Okay? They're called angels Angels and not even that telling you nothing yeah, you get enough of these guys It's like it dried up turnip not happening Hey, I got a new producer in who lives in the Candanavian border And he's sending me good stuff from CBC Not the stuff you'd find online typically Oh good. And he found an identification of the alternate universes? Former FBI Director James Comey and Donald Trump alone in the Oval Office. Comey says Trump asked him to let go of the investigation into his former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn, Trump says it didn't happen that way when Trump suggested there may be secret recordings reporters clamored to hear them. Are they taped sir?

36:28 congressional investigators demanded them, and from Comey himself. Then on the same day the Senate introduced long-awaited health care legislation Trump said if any recordings exist he didn't make them and he doesn't have them. But Kelly my question is why did the president clear this up 41 days ago? He cleared it up in due course, but I want to go back. Let's just stop right there for a second. So when we read that tweet we said oh he was just saying aw man be careful what you say there may be everything is recorded in light of Trump Tower being wiretapped and New York Times reporting on it. Yeah and JNSA tapping everybody And then everyone was like oh he has tapes threatening him with tapes

37:13 Yeah, but this is unbelievable to me because I don't think anyone in their right mind, at least any of the Noah Jendelists here except for maybe Neil. In their right mind would have a different take on that. That's exactly what it was is what did it appear to be as well look like? It wasn't a threat. It was just a casual comment and it was obviously done for the purposes of what Trump said which was to keep the guy honest And it worked. Yeah, and then he brings it out later and everyone says why did you bring it out later? Because he wanted Comey to testify for... Well It's either they're that stupid which is questionable I have worked in these organizations there was a group think that is beyond belief Beyond belief. I remember when I first started MTV

38:04 And I may have told the story before. Carol Robinson ran the press department, yeah, Carol Robinson. Oh we've got TV Guide! TV Guide wants to interview you!" I was brand new VJ. TV Guide was the biggest magazine in America. Biggest circulation. You were on TV Guide? That was the shit. Yeah but you were it. So I do the interview and in their office of course that's how I have to do it like well just listen to... And I said something about Madonna, like, yeah...I met her. You know? Didn't like her too much. All right. And they freaked out! Oh! We don't talk about artists like that! And they never set up an interview for me again ever

38:51 That's the group think that goes on. Anyway, we continue. So apparently a lot of people did read this the same way and they can't put two and two together and say hmm maybe he waited until Comey testified And then say I don't have any tape. My question is why didn't the president clear this up 41 days ago? He cleared it up in due course, but I want to go back. You just said... Compare CNN's tone to fawning Fox. Different channels, different worlds. Everyone saying give him a chance

39:27 With no tapes to clear things up, who do Americans believe? A new poll by NBC and the Wall Street Journal suggests they're more inclined to believe James Comey over President Trump. By a margin of 2-1. Where did this alternate universe story come from? It came from the alternate universe! Here is Shields on PBS using the same meme or a talking point about that, about that this shield slanting the story on Comey. And it's interesting because PBS actually kind of makes a correction on what that woman just said. He pays price for it and still worth doing. Mark? I'd say this he's paying a price in the sense The Wall Street Journal NBC poll

40:13 They ask voters, whom do you believe? James Comey or Donald Trump. And by a two to one margin, voters believe James Comey who until a month ago was a villain to so many Democrats because of the Hillary Clinton race. He's done it overwhelmingly Americans do not believe that he's honest or he is trustworthy, he is knowledgeable. He has the right temperament by a 48 to 16 margin they believe they opposite and that is real liability for anybody who wants to leave the country. But in that same poll you see 78% of Dems 26% of Republicans who have that trust in that case so

CHAPTER 12 / 41 Discussion

David Brooks, Mark Shields, and PBS NewsHour Bias

The long-standing debate segment between David Brooks and Mark Shields on PBS NewsHour is criticized for lacking true ideological diversity. A "slip of the tongue" by David Brooks, where he refers to the Democratic Party as "our party," is presented as proof that he is not a genuine Republican voice. The hosts argue that Brooks's position at The New York Times further confirms his alignment with the Democratic establishment.

david brooks· mark shields· pbs newshour· new york times· nancy pelosi· democratic party

40:50 Mark Shields, David Brooks. We'll leave it there. Thank you. Same thing. Same thing, it doesn't make any difference what you're doing now while we're on the topic of these bullcrap artists especially the ones on PBS I find you know and i'm always complaining anyone who listens to this show i'm complaining about the fact that they'll have two people on debating in best example is Brooks and Shields

41:26 The idea was from the beginning that Brooks is going to be a Republican, middle of the road Republican. He's gonna defend the Republican side of an argument and then Shields... It's it's it's the same formula we use for this show Yeah exactly And so Shields is the guy they left-wing guy but me but over time they Was obvious that this never was gonna work out because Brooks Is not a Apologist for the Republicans he's another Democrat AND I've been saying this and saying this, so what's the point of having these two guys debating the same side? They have the same exact position. Now!

42:04 Finally proof. This is my proof clip on Brooks tell me listen carefully with what they are for What what is it rather than simply being against Donald Trump which? I do think I'd be curious to hear marks view on this I do think it on net Nancy Pelosi can be a very masterful leader again inside, but I do think she's become a central liability For people around the country now the question would be okay if they go over to Nancy Pelosi as party leader Would the next person be just as unpopular And potentially, but I think potentially not. And if you're a Democrat, you do have to think about who is currently the face of our party Pelosi says she's worth the cost She's worth the cost? No

42:44 If you're a Democrat, you have to ask yourself who is the face of our party. Oh fuck I missed that let me hear it again oh my god great catch! View on this side do think it on net Nancy Pelosi can be a very masterful leader again inside but I do think she's become a central liability for people around the country now the question would be okay if they got rid of Nancy Pelosi as party leader would the next person be just as unpopular and potentially but I think potentially not and I do think if you're a Democrat you do have to party. He's worth the cost. Oh, you get it? It's early but that's one of the better ones. Damn good one. Well I fired he should now i'm or just admit it now I know you can get out of this there's a way of parsing what he said to me well I was kind of referring to if you know yeah there's a way of course Yeah, yeah, you could do that in in

43:41 In reality, if you're not a Democrat... it doesn't flow off the tongue so easily. You don't say our party or anything like that. No you'd say the party. The party, their party is what you would say. So when he said our party just as if was part of it, that's the giveaway! This guy is a Democrat from The New York Times. Gee big shock! Nice good one Well, on the other side of the street... It's been five years but I've done it. You've done it finally! Taken him down! Brooks a fatal kill shot from Dvorak Take that Brooks! Well big story in The Washington Post! Woppa woppa woppa woppa woppa woppa woppa woppa woppa woppa woppa woppa woppa woppa woppa woppa woppa woppa woppa woppa woppa woppa woppa woppa woppa woppa woppa woppa woppa woppa woppa woppa woppa woppa woppa woppa woppa woppa woppa woppa woppa woppa woppa woppa woppa woppa woppa woppa woppa woppa woppa woppa woppa woppa wop

CHAPTER 13 / 41 Discussion

Vladimir Putin Election Interference, Washington Post, and Obama

A Washington Post report by Greg Miller claims Vladimir Putin personally directed operations to denigrate Hillary Clinton and assist Donald Trump. The article suggests the Obama administration took extreme secrecy precautions, including shutting off video feeds in the Situation Room, to discuss the intelligence. Critics argue the administration failed to act publicly because they did not want to be seen as interfering in Clinton's expected victory.

vladimir putin· barack obama· washington post· greg miller· hillary clinton· cia

44:38 on Putin himself directing the election interference in the United States. I hope you've read this. One of the authors of this article, Greg Miller from WAPO was on PBS NewsHour so i hope im not stepping on your beat but i did pick this up and wanted to play a few clips from it It's really unbelievable information, if true. unfolding in the United States. But it goes one step farther than that, and that's what most interesting and extraordinary to me. It also captures Putin's instructions on what the objectives of this operation are. He identifies those objectives as denigrating—damaging Hillary Clinton trying to help defeat her

45:43 and trying to help elect Donald Trump. And now we know! If you read the article, you know it was Vladimir Putin who came up with... Lock her up Just lock her up Donald It's all good, block her up Then notice sources deep withinside the Russian government at high levels Is there any possibility Wapo-wapo-wapo-wapo that you're being toyed with? I can just— Now i can imagine the laughter Oh, look at these stupid idiots from Wapowapo. And they publish anything I give to them crazy. I wouldn't be surprised so now what everyone has been saying and this is why this report came out... By the way we have this is like a childish view of the world This is like when you see people protesting... Spy versus spy

46:34 Yeah, and you see people protesting. I always get a kick out of these people. We should bring down the government we should do this we should buy local! The system doesn't work that way anymore it's so complex all i have to do is look on the highway and you can see thousands of trucks These thousands of trucks which have to be scheduled and all the rest of it should deliver things here and there, back-and-forth. You can't bring down this system anymore because then you're all going to starve to death. There's a similar kind of thing about Putin This guy apparently just sits around smoking cigarettes doing nothing because he's got nothing to do. He has nothing to do. I have nothing to do. He walks through the big gold doors... I'm going to play some hockey now!

47:23 Yeah, unbelievable that they would think this. But okay... But it goes even further because here is the real spy stuff! Is how these reports were delivered now what was happening in the news overall in the past week was hey wait a minute If this, if Russia hacked our election... Hold on. Obama was president! Who's in charge? Why didn't he stop it? What's going on? He didn't do anything! He just let it happen! And now this article- This is what this article is about Not really about anything but explaining why President Obama didn't do anything publicly Because he was definitely on the inside

48:08 You also point out the levels of secrecy and precaution taken by the administration and the intelligence agencies in how this information gets to the president, and even how people meet to talk about it and share information. Yeah it's really remarkable the precautions that the administration was taking with this information This intel when its delivered to the White House is brought by courier the They then have to, when they're done reading this thing, put it back in the envelope and send it straight back to the CIA. It sets in motion a series of meetings—high-level meetings at the White House—in the Situation Room. Only four senior officials are initially allowed to participate, although that circle begins to widen in the ensuing weeks. And even there, like, there were things that I didn't know about how the White House works

49:19 that apparently in the Situation Room, there are video cameras that send feeds to other offices in the White House so that others sitting at their desks can monitor what's happening in that room. All those feeds were shut off for all of these discussions The only time that had ever happened before was in the run-up to the Bin Laden operation in 2011 Oh okay! That explains it So it was bogus Hey guys we're gonna talk about some shit thats not true Alright turn off the feeds That's the way I see it. Bin Laden, oh turn off the cameras no one can know about what... President Obama was eaten and playing cards please But here is the real crux of the article this is what its really about This is what is being communicated so that we know that it wasn't President Obamas fault You point out that this in the backdrop of climate where

50:15 point out. to In fact, if we don't finish dealing with it well the Clinton administration certainly can. And also they don't want to take any action leading up to the election that would be perceived as interfering politically to help Hillary Clinton They worry that would contaminate her expected triumph. Oh his hands were tied! I'm actually buying into this last analysis this guy did

51:17 Because I think there's some truth to this. And one of the examples is somebody that was, I don't know if I heard this on the TV or somebody told me this personally but apparently the offices of The New York Times because these guys are on top of everything you know it's so important these newspaper guys are on top of everything It was really at until there was no inkling in a million years that Trump was going to win this election and they were preparing the front pages and doing all this stuff with it in mind that Hillary is gonna take it. No problem, yeah? And it was like as they were shocked. Yes shocked them That's where the big deal comes from we'll get to that later now got one last just huge revelation

CHAPTER 14 / 41 Discussion

CrowdStrike, DNC Hack, and Debbie Wasserman Schultz

Debbie Wasserman Schultz disputes claims by former DHS Secretary Jay Johnson that the DNC refused federal help during the 2016 hacks. She asserts the FBI never properly contacted the DNC leadership, only calling the main tech support switchboard. The hosts discuss the possibility that the "Russian" hacks were actually "spoofed" using tools developed by the CIA or NSA, as suggested by Vault 7 leaks.

crowdstrike· dnc· debbie wasserman schultz· fbi· jay johnson· wikileaks

52:07 Could not believe this. But the DNC and DNCC hacks by Russia, Putin... This is so good I like reading your email! Now the way i heard the story The DNC and DNCC said no don't worry FBI we got crowdfire on them they're doing it for us they are the ones that have identified They've already done a report here you go here's the report Comey said in his testimony very reputable firm crowdsource He said no we have strike was a crowd strike cried force whatever yes Krauss crowd cry. Yeah, well We know we know which guys were talking about it's yeah exactly They got that nice map with all those little cyber attacks taking place every minute every second I tell you alright so

53:01 Comey said, no. But reputable firm looked at it this former spooks in there on the board but you know a company that has a pew-pew map is like we have our questions but still if all of this is predicated on this hack that was done partly on this hack that was done on the DNC and DNCC you'd expect FBI to go look at it and FBI said no crowd strike looked at it and reputable fine That's not the way it went down apparently. And this is news to me! Yes, in fact if what Debbie Wasserman Schultz says is true then Comey definitely

53:42 definitely should have been fired. The former Secretary of Homeland Security testified yesterday about the Russian hacks during the election and he flat-out said that the DNC refused his department's help you put out a statement afterward basically saying that Jay Johnson was wrong where is he wrong? He's wrong in every respect let me just be very clear all right at no point during my tenure at the DNC was I contacted by the FBI DHS or any government agency, were alerted or made aware that they believed that the Russians an enemy state was intruding on our network. At no point and I am a member of Congress who had the ability to sit down and be briefed in a classified setting even director Comey testified publicly that he wished that he had gone to the top of the organization we're one of the two now

54:32 I don't remember him saying that. Back it up again, now I hear that again. I don't think he said that actually. I'll have to look that up. Even Director Comey testified publicly that he wished that he had gone to the top of the organization. Also Russia is not an enemy state. No its not its a rival. Huge difference. We're not at war with Russia yet? No we are not at war with Russia and by the way I think he did say what she said. Could be! to sit down and be briefed in a classified setting. Even Director Comey testified publicly that he wished that he had gone to the top of the organization, we're one of two national political parties it is astounding when they had a member of Congress who was leading an organization no one felt it was any more important when we have foreign enemy intruding on one of the two political party's networks to do anything more than lob a phone call into our tech support through

55:28 our main switchboard. and after she's done, I believe can be explained differently. When they had a member of Congress who was leading that organization that no one felt it was any more important when we had a foreign enemy intruding on one of the two political parties' networks to do anything more than lob a phone call in to our tech support through our main switchboard. But how can both be true? That's outrageous! Secretary Johnson says the DNC rebuffed the help that they offered you're saying then no one ever contacted you

56:16 Respectfully, Secretary Johnson is utterly misinformed. That is simply not accurate and much that has been written about the timeline of events by The New York Times, The Washington Post that document through multiple sources including me that the FBI and other federal agencies did virtually nothing to make sure when they were aware at the point that they were aware or concerned that there was an intrusion on our network by the Russians, that they did virtually nothing to sound the alarm bells and make us aware of it. And they left essentially the Russians on our network for almost a year." Now I will say in listening this for the third time she's not specifically talking about

57:04 post-hack and the CrowdStrike moment when they came in. She's talking about them being on the network for over a year, but that was not explained except to call it dude named Ben. Well how about this? The Russians never were on the network. This whole thing in that report that went to Obama was really a CIA report, came from the CIA and they were using those systems networks were discussed and never discussed by any of these news media guys the software that the CIA developed and NSA developed one of the two that could spoof

57:42 Appearance of a bear mama bear and Goldilocks. Yeah that all that stuff It was showed up on wiki leaks, and they don't never bring that this was the possibility all along And I've always been suspicious This is the kind of thing we can do this pretty well. I think we're talented We had we got two hackers in this country They don't have them in North Korea give me a break. We have a whole culture of hackers We have thousands of them the North Koreans what? But the scary but both are scary So, and so that report that went to Obama which nobody really has been published not that I know of it probably could have been discussing how they're making it look as if the Russians are doing this and that. If you want to do something with it you can or not. And they said well we're going to do anything is not that important because Hillary's gonna win right? That part would be the explanation why Debbie Wasserman Schultz was never contacted. There's nothing going on here! This isn't a thing to get contacted about. Nothing happening

CHAPTER 15 / 41 Discussion

Jill Stein, Vladimir Putin Dinner, and Election Meddling

CNN's Michael Smerconish questions Jill Stein about a 2015 dinner in Moscow where she sat with Vladimir Putin and Michael Flynn. The theory suggests Putin promoted Stein to siphoned votes away from Hillary Clinton in key states like Michigan and Wisconsin. Stein defends her presence at the RT-sponsored conference, arguing that Green Party voters were never likely to support Clinton regardless of her visibility.

jill stein· vladimir putin· michael flynn· cnn· green party· rt

58:38 But she's mad now. Well, she was really mad. She's all...she's mad as a wet hen! Ooh that's a phrase from the Shays I'm not familiar with. Mad as a wet hen very good i like it uh one one more thing that we needed to try is you know Putin he also influenced and brought Jill Stein to the forefront No, this is great. Glad you got this because I was rolling my eyes too much and couldn't push the record button. This is great. Smirconish. Stein cracks me up! Yeah, this is CNN. This is Smirconish

59:16 I'm not sure. The egghead guy. The egg-headed guy, smirconish and his theory that he's gonna lay out here is just look at how many votes you got then how many votes it took for Donald Trump to win if those votes hadn't gone to you if they'd gone to Hillary then she would have won those important states and because Putin put you out in the forefront You know, promoting you. He promoted you as like your manager and helped Hillary lose Does it make you reconsider the dinner invitation that you received in 2015? And whether him giving you that platform was itself a form of meddling Now, you know this picture I have to say something about This is very famous picture Miss Jill Stein with Putin and Mike Flynn

1:00:02 They're all sitting there at the table. Yeah, they were all at the same event And do you know whose backs are at the table across from that in the photo? You know I think I'd know but I don't remember who Max Kaiser and Stacy oh That's interesting yeah They were there on RT invited them and their therefore I hope they can live with this certainly max Max you are partly responsible for Hillary losing yeah Probably proud. No, no He's a big hillbilly. He's not he's not a Trump guy that's for sure you hates Trump hates him Oh strangely enough Max and I can get along just fine because he's an adult or the dinner invitation that you received in 2015 And whether him giving you that platform was itself a form of meddling Meddling let's be clear but there's been quite a lot of evidence

1:00:57 pointing to the hacking into our election systems, especially voter registration but also local election officials. There are grave concerns about the vulnerability of our election system and that is not new people can go listen to the testimony before Congress just last week by Alex Halderman one of the foremost cybersecurity experts. It's not rocket science how to fix it." Alex Haldeman, one of the foremost security experts surely you'd be familiar with his work John as a technology journalist for over 30 years? Offhand...

1:01:35 Cyber security experts, it's not rocket science how to fix this and we need to make our system protected. Not just against Russian interference or Chinese or mafia but also against private corporations for example who control our voting software and who have a stake in the outcome of the election But now take me inside the dinner you had with Vladimir Putin in 2015 and the prominence that it afforded you my question is was that in and of itself a form of meddling along the lines of let me give some attention to Green Party candidate listen Jill Stein on the theory that any vote, you know the theory. Any vote for Stein as a vote that otherwise would have gone to Hillary what what was that dinner all about tell me about it so lets be clear that was a conference

1:02:24 And that picture actually didn't really begin to circulate until long after the election. So it's not like it was a public relations bump I think many of us are now going back and we're as I like to say, zebroodering Oh, good. Zabrooder? But he says zabrooder instead of zapruder it's a p. Yeah, he just says zapruder. No, but he says zabroodering. So the Zapruder film is the infamous film of JFK getting shot Made by Mr. Zapruder with a P, but no this brilliant light is Zabrudering I think many of us are now going back and we're as I like to say zabroodering every step of the way in the 2016 How do you? Well it could also be Do you spell it as zabrudering as B-R-O-O D-I-N-G Like we're brooding, zabrooding or he's just a total idiot

1:03:21 He's a total idiot. Yeah, I think you're right. Zabroodering great show title Great and- I wrote it down Should be in the t-shirt is what it should be Cycle! And and and you know Dr. Stein Hey baby, I'm gonna prosecute you until your completely zabrootered Cycle! No, zabrooter me. Zabrooter you. Dr. Stein the argument because I think she ought to have the opportunity to respond to this once and for all Michigan You get 51 thousand votes Trump wins by 10 thousand What other states? Keep them rolling. Wisconsin, you get 31 thousand Trump wins by 22. But you can understand looking at that data how there would be an analysis that says Vladimir Putin was reading the tea leaves in the United States and thought

1:04:03 Oh, brother. Bring Jim Stein to dinner! Anything- I know you had a meeting as well with Sergei Lavrov and that you went into Red Square and recorded those moments meaning anything he can do to give you prominence is gonna pull from her despite what you just said Isn't that crazy? Well, you do have her retort, I hope No it's completely boring All she does is thank you for this opportunity to let me You could've cut it down Her retort is the following, there's no evidence that any Greenie would ever have voted for Hillary.

1:04:40 And at least as many would have voted for Trump if Annie did vote for Hillary and she goes on and on with a very good argument about how Greens aren't, they didn't vote for Hillary for a reason. You're mistaken somehow that I care what she has to say. I only care about this insanity- I'm a big fan of Jill Stein so I do care what she has to say but yeah you can put that other idiot up there but it's a suspicious argument and then she, I thought she beat him back on it She did! But that wasn't the point of it Yeah well apparently not Two pieces of news about North Korea, since North Korea has already come up. And I have my North Korea clips! Well, I'll give you my news and then we'll hear your clips. News item number one... President Moon South Korea is proposing an inter-Korean team for the Pyongyang Olympics. North and South Korean athletes very interesting. There was an article this morning in The Telegraph, a Dutch newspaper

CHAPTER 16 / 41 Discussion

North Korea Tourism, Costa del Coria, and Dutch Camping Culture

North Korean officials visited Spain to study the "Benidorm" model of mass tourism, aiming to create a "Costa del Coria" resort. The segment explores the unique Dutch "standing caravan" camping culture as a potential influence on North Korean tourism goals. Meanwhile, South Korean President Moon proposes a joint Olympic team to ease tensions, despite the ongoing technical state of war between the two nations.

north korea· south korea· netherlands· spain· benidorm· tourism

1:05:38 Now, the Netherlands you have to understand is a very big camping culture. We've never discussed this I don't think When I was growing up and I entered Dutch school system in the fifth grade... Well let's first of all Before you go on just because I know about this but you better define camping Yes That's what I'm going as opposed to our sort of camping that we do They are big fan of camping And when I entered the Dutch school system from the international school, very closed and secluded in the fifth grade... Then on Mondays kids would be like, we went camping. We had a good time and see all the people from the camp. What are you doing? You going out in the woods camping? No no no! No, we have a standing caravan. Stakkerreven. Standing Caravan or trailer. Yeah basically a trailer

1:06:31 And on the weekends people go to their trailer and they sit next to other trailers, and they have a really good time. They drink beer and they do whatever but it's of huge culture...huge culture! So it's not dragging the trailer around you know? You have a spot and uh..and then just go there and hang out with all the other people at the camping so when you read that North Koreans came to visit some campings Uh....and they were there with a Spanish tourist official. They were really looking at a whole bunch of different options and what they want to do is they want to put together very much like Beine Dorm, which is a big Dutch vacation place in Spain, Beine Dorm... They want to make it in North Korea which you predicted! They want to make... What did they call it? Costa del Coria is what they wanna make it so they wanted to have a beautiful vacation

1:07:33 resort near or where is this or Pesa? Not sure what it is. Had you heard about this that the no, I have not but doesn't surprise me there The problem with the North Koreans they're so insular that they they don't have But also many people didn't have any common sense about well how to make that as a tourist They did way to go and apparently their landscape's so beautiful You don't want to do anything just cut people loose Anyway, and please understand that North Korea was created by us. And they act as if they're at war with us because we are! We had the only thing that has come into play since the war is armistice. That's all

1:08:22 There is essentially still a war on between... The war's never been concluded. Never, never. And that's what they want to do! They wanna conclude the war but we refuse to do it Because of sales But now you've got this other annoying douchebag Moon who was ruining the sales That guy. We can't keep this up forever and then the lies that go around it is just annoying and I'm going to play a clip of uh, this off of Fox and Fox is one of the worst...I've been studying their changes Very poor very poor instead doing bad

CHAPTER 17 / 41 Discussion

Fox News Amateur Hour, Ainsley Earhardt, and South Carolina Accents

The hosts critique the current state of Fox News, describing it as "amateur hour" with presenters struggling with teleprompters. Ainsley Earhardt is highlighted as a rising star with a South Carolina accent that is often repressed for television. An anecdote about the Ingram Distribution facility in South Carolina illustrates how the "Southern belle" voice is used as a highly effective tool in professional sales.

fox news· ainsley earhardt· south carolina· ingram distribution· southern belle· accents

1:09:00 Well, I think there's some of the changes are beneficial. I think they have some more professional people but i think they also have a lot of incredibly rank amateurs people can barely read off of a teleprompter and they don't sound natural even when they talk. And the weekends really show that the amateur hour of it all, they have a few people are trying to promote in there were substituting this Ainsley woman is going to be the one that's gonna take over work. The new Megan? the new Megan and she's got it, she's pleasant. Her hair is like most of the hair at the Fox network now it all looks like Farrah Fawcett in the 70s very old-fashioned some of the hairdos you look at them and go my god what did she think? What are they doing I agree

1:09:50 And this Ainsley woman is very pleasant. She got a nice mouth and she's from South Carolina, which means that if she wants to turn it on, she tries to repress it but people don't realize that South Carolinian women have probably the nicest voice in the world. There was a major I figured this out. I always knew they had a nice voice but never knew it was just South Carolina. But Some years ago, I had got to visit when I was doing books. I got to visit the Ingram Distribution Facility and Sales Facility where they had...Ingram was the number one book distributor in the country, in the world maybe. And their operations were in South Carolina. And I always told by one of the people that we pretty much only hire women salespeople from South Carolina.

1:10:45 And so you'd go in there and these are all sales people, so they knew what they were doing. This is the definition of a Southern bell I would say Yes But they have this sweet voice that men especially cannot say no to And Ingram would use these women as hard sell women who would just sweet talk people into, oh yeah I'll buy an extra, another pallet sure. Can you keep talking to me? Don't hang up please don't hang up! I was listening to these calls because they were... You could just overhear anything because huge cubicles there's probably like 500 people on the phone all at the same time

1:11:28 And it was like, holy crap. It was unbelievable! That's what this woman... if she turns it on but she represses it but once in a while she'll slip into and you can say oh what a beautiful voice there is something about the South Carolina and people in the south all know this by the way There are a lot of Southern belle accents that are very sexy and very prone to getting you do what they want you to do Nothing like South Carolina Oh I have the vapors could you please get me some iced tea So, anyway so this is the Fox analysis and I'm going to condemn it. And you'll see why when you hear it

1:12:05 It's within artillery range of North Korea, and North Korea knows it. They've foredeployed much of their military to hold the capital South Korea at risk. Acting against North Korea opens the possibility of turning the capital South Korea into a butcher's. So in other words there are no options unless you listen to Dennis Rodman who just got back from a visit to North Korea? Take a listen People don't see the good side about that country. But I think people don't see him as a friendly guy, but if you actually talk to him... So when you see him do you see a different guy? Oh yeah! Does he smile does he talk is he open? We always talk right we sing karaoke it's all fun ride horses Okay so we all know that Dennis Rodman lives in an alternate reality to the rest of us That's a given

CHAPTER 18 / 41 Discussion

Dennis Rodman, Kim Jong-un, and Heritage Foundation Analysis

Dennis Rodman's recent visit to North Korea is dismissed by mainstream analysts as a sign of his "alternate reality." A Heritage Foundation expert on Fox News is criticized for suggesting Kim Jong-un finds Rodman's appearance "weird," ignoring the leader's well-documented obsession with basketball. The hosts argue that Rodman acts as a de facto coach for the North Korean team and that the media's analysis is intentionally disingenuous.

dennis rodman· kim jong-un· heritage foundation· north korea· basketball· fox news

1:11:28 And it was like, holy crap. It was unbelievable! That's what this woman... if she turns it on but she represses it but once in a while she'll slip into and you can say oh what a beautiful voice there is something about the South Carolina and people in the south all know this by the way There are a lot of Southern belle accents that are very sexy and very prone to getting you do what they want you to do Nothing like South Carolina Oh I have the vapors could you please get me some iced tea So, anyway so this is the Fox analysis and I'm going to condemn it. And you'll see why when you hear it

1:12:05 It's within artillery range of North Korea, and North Korea knows it. They've foredeployed much of their military to hold the capital South Korea at risk. Acting against North Korea opens the possibility of turning the capital South Korea into a butcher's.

We always talk right we sing karaoke it's all fun ride horses Okay so we all know that Dennis Rodman lives in an alternate reality to the rest of us That's a given

1:12:58 This is bizarre. Oh, yes Well I can only imagine what Kim Jong-un thinks of the United States as he chats with Dennis Rodman? I mean He's got to be wondering sort of who is this man and what is his relationship with the American government Okay We can stop now this guy was the expert from The Heritage Foundation the Korea expert yeah Yeah, the North Korea expert. Does he know how they think over there? I guess not Well does he know that Kim Jong-un is an outrageously... Basketball fan? Major major major basketball fan and he's not looking at Dennis Rodman thinking wow Americans are weird or as the guy says who is this guy what He knows who he is This is disingenuous analysis

1:13:55 He knows who he is. He's the rule with the worm used to play in the Chicago Bulls, he knows exactly who he is. He's helping his you know, the North Korean basketball team play better basketball. He's like a coach. But to be so phony about this and not to mention any of the background or give any insight, but just to say something like oh he must think Americans are weird when he sees this guy. Are you kidding me? This is just lies! Fox is really hitting the bottom of the barrel when they produce this sort of thing it's just giving people bad information that's just bad information It's not doing us any good to hear this crap

CHAPTER 19 / 41 Discussion

CZM137 Artwork, Eid al-Fitr, and Harem Anecdote

The hosts thank artist CZM137 for the episode artwork and Paul Couture for maintaining the No Agenda art generator. A large donation from a listener wishing his family "Eid Mubarak" prompts a discussion on the Islamic holiday Eid al-Fitr, marking the end of Ramadan. The hosts joke about the donor potentially being a wealthy diplomat or sheikh with a harem.

czm137· eid al-fitr· ramadan· paul couture· no agenda art· harem

1:14:37 It's entertaining though. Anytime you could put Dennis Rodman on the tube, it's always good. Dennis Rodman? I can barely speak with all those piercings in his mouth! With that, I think I would like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you John C, where the c stands for Carmen Electra said he was better, Devorah In the morning to you, Mr. Random Courage boots on the ground, seats... feet in the air, subs in the water and all the dames and knights out there! In the morning to all of our No Agenda artists but specifically CZM137 who brought us the artwork for episode 9 or 4-0 of The Best Podcast in The Universe title of the episode DELIO and this was the restrooms with default and colored fabulous piece of art very good piece of art

1:15:25 Really nice and we appreciate all of the work that our artists do know agenda art generator calm Appreciate this or Paul couture for keeping that running. It's been running for years hasn't it? I think has been around forever is well You can kind of figure it out by just backing it up, but hope he does because there's thousands made on him I bet bad back in first part then show number. I think was about 150 shows in Wow. All right, that's really okay? Yes, and we want to thank some people sir on a missive dog patch Jeronimous again nice. This is the real honest guy Yeah, this is $800 $800 does he have a note yes of course Just to give us crap about something I appreciate his feedback in more ways than one

1:16:24 All right, this time it's wishing my wife and family Eid Mubarak and happy Eid to all the listeners. All right so Eid is a holiday that is not really a holiday I think its Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Fitr is the last day of Ramadan And it changes, I think it's yesterday or today Wow So he's possibly Muslim He might be, you know. But he might be maybe a rich sheik. Hey! Take us to your harem we want to be in it So he, um... I mean Kim Jong-un has Dennis Rodman. What? I was gonna say Kim Jong-un has Dennis Rodman this Sheikh could have us Yeah We're much more entertaining I doubt if he's a sheikh i think it's just another... It's just..I don't... I think is the diplomat or some sort I'm guessing From what you said so far we're trying to piece them together

1:17:23 But I think this is just the writing us for the fact that we wouldn't even, we don't even recognize it as an event or a holiday where you have in the newsletter. For example, Canada Day Yes, and I think it's big there's reasons for this. There's a lot of Turkish holidays We don't celebrate correct postal delivery keeps my comments aside the out-of-phase So I don't know if Eid donations were noted in the newsletter Do and we do it every year Please include mine A quote-unquote interesting side note, two shows before you read my previous letter you and Adam had called each other out over the use of interesting and looked up alternative words. I thought it would share a personal anecdote...antidote

CHAPTER 20 / 41 Discussion

The Shmoo, Al Capp, and Dogpatch References

A listener's reference to the hosts as "schmoes of news" leads to a deep dive into the "Shmoo," a fictional creature created by Al Capp for the Li'l Abner comic strip. The Shmoo was an allegorical animal that provided for all human needs and was famously delicious. The hosts clarify the difference between the cartoon character and the dictionary definition of "shmo" as an unintelligent person.

al capp· the shmoo· lil abner· pogo· dogpatch· miriam webster

1:18:11 He says antidote, not anecdote. Antidote to help us to stop a vaccine. From 40 years ago that helped me change my use of the word! It wasn't a criticism but an effective true tale to help the speaker hear themselves say the word as you may have noted in recent shows the use of the word In other words, we've been dropping it. It's a fact and they never says what this the anecdote is To hear it you have to hear yourself say it I guess I guess to be clear dog Apache Ian's think you two are the schmoes of news Okay now this is another interesting reference that's a Jewish reference no No, that's no no it's not at all oh, I thought it was a derivative of shmuck

1:19:02 It was, yes. And it's with the C in it this is Shmoe this is the little Abner that was developed in the 40s and continued until the death of the... That's Joe Schmoe? Is that what that comes from? No no no no no and Schmoe was an animal very soon look at up someone someone of low intelligence version. The shmo is an animal, it's not someone of low intelligence and the animal is a little round ball that has all kinds of characteristics including its apparently very delicious. What a sad characteristic to have as a species! You're delicious! And you have to look up the shmo there's a good shmo spelled S-H-M-O-O and it has a good Wikipedia entry on it. Two O's?

1:20:00 What? Two O's? Two Os. Yeah, S-H-M-O-O like SHOO. Hmm... Miriam Webster doesn't even know that word! You go to the Wikipedia and you'll see the whole outline of it Anyway El Capo until he died used this character It was used as an allegorical character And there were tons of them They were like The closest thing I can come to for Star Trek people are Tribbles Like a tribble Except it had a face and feet Anyway, after interesting he continues. He calls us the schmoes of news now that I don't know what kind of what that means But he thinks it's a plot positive thing after interesting comments directed at my last letter Let me remind listeners that schmoes almost destroyed capitalism because they were so good No agenda is so good It has deplayed replaced displaced dog patches others and other news media sources leaving advertisers frightened

1:21:00 Support these schmoes as they displace your advertising sponsored news. Eid Mubarak, and Eid Mubarak is a greeting for anyone who wants to look it up. I've been looking up schmo animal on the Google images and i see lots of drawings but i do not see a single schmo animal in the pictures. The drawing? What is the drawing of well that's kind of what you described it looks like a duck It's an animal. Yeah, but why don't they have an actual picture of the animal? Anywhere! There is no such thing it was a cartoon Oh okay... But you said it was tasty I was ready to go get me kill me some schmoe, but I'm so gullible You- uh hold on a second How about killing us some auric Yes, I'm gonna go to the Schmoe farm

1:21:51 Well, Merriam-Webster has SHMO10 and that is an unintelligent or stupid person. That's not the same thing. I got it! This is two O's... But if you do two Os then it doesn't even show up in Merriam-Webster so... Well Merriam-Webster should change Yes they should The thing was drawn by Al Cap probably there were two cartoonists in this era that are probably missed by the modern era al cap was one of them And he did this little Abner cartoon and it had all kinds of triple meanings. It was double entendres, I wouldn't call it a deep cartoon but it was better than the stuff we get today generally speaking except for maybe Dilbert. But Dilbert didn't have these lengthy stories. No. He didn't have long arc in it again. The other one was Pogo

1:22:41 And Pogo was a very, very interesting psychedelic almost cartoon during the same era. Well you know what Dogpatch is obviously? Well it's the town where he was in but... Yeah well because it's synonymous of dog patch He has a real Al Cap thing going on Lil Abner yeah apparently yeah maybe is he dead maybe it's him died in the 70s oh crap yeah 77 too bad Okay, well anyway does he want anything does he want? Can we do anything for him it is no. He just wanted to write us about Eid so happy you happy eat happy Do you have a new bar all right happy and you can Give me some karma yeah some even bark Enjoy you've got karma I

Knighting Ceremony, Carbon Credits for Abortions, and Amygdala Jingle

Sir Bernie Adama commissions a knighthood for his son David's 33rd birthday. A note from donor Edward Gartland describes a 2007 environmental conference where a participant proposed "carbon credits for abortions" as a population control measure. Additionally, a Norwegian listener living in Rotterdam requests a jingle to help "shrink the amygdala" of the audience through the show's analysis.

California yeah. During the Trump campaign, I stopped listening to NPR CNN and just about every other media source because of their nonstop bias you are my go-to source for sanity! Actually I spoke to John long ago 2007 maybe when we talked about making an environmental podcast for his employer

1:27:15 I was in, really? No. Well that's pretty obscure. That's going back. I was in the world...I was in that world for many years working for a company that calculated carbon footprints one time I went to a carbon conference in Washington DC and figured it'd be all women with hairy armpits and dimension B metrosexuals so he dressed in my jeans and a flannel shirt fit in. I bet it was all buttoned down Very observant. He says it was all lawyers, lobbyists and bankers! Where the money is? Make no mistake the environmental agenda is about power money and population control One woman I met was working on carbon credits for abortions

1:28:06 What a great idea! We could have come up with that. Yeah, well we didn't. That's a great idea If you abort a human being then you are saving just so many tons of CO2. That's great. Yeah, yeah fantastic yuck he says Like a previous donor I suffer from misophonia hatred of sound plastic bags crinkling rustling etc and then he says something... Yeah we talked about that people have a real problem with that Maybe that is the opposite of an enlarged amygdala. Your quality audio production is much appreciated."

Black Knight Sir Steve Marchi discusses a "hidden boob hack" in the No Agenda newsletter and requests various jingles, including "Kill La Kill" and the "Knicks Kid."

Ham Radio Interest, Executive Producers, and Forgetful Mark

Sir Mark A from Wisconsin credits the show for his new interest in ham radio and his progress toward a general class license. The hosts encourage listeners to pursue ham licenses, noting the ease of the FCC testing process. Several other producers, including "Forgetful Mark" Lins from British Columbia, are thanked for their financial support of the program.

And there's another Mark Lins who is also somewhat forgetful from $200 in Burnaby British Columbia maybe it's just a mark phenomenon but he doesn't have a note and he doesn't have an email I don't know if he wants us to say anything but will give him a karma just in case he needs it You've got Karma Thanks, Obama. So that's our group of executive and associate executive producers for show 941. Yes and thank you very much to these execs and associate executive producers real credits You can use them anywhere but above all Thank you for showing us how much value you receive from the program It makes me feel good it also pays rent which is highly appreciated

CNN Spook Panel, MH17 Investigation, and Ukraine EU Agreement

Anderson Cooper's CNN panel is criticized for consisting almost entirely of former intelligence officials, or "spooks." The discussion shifts to the MH17 plane crash over Ukraine, noting that three years later, a final official report from Dutch investigators is still pending. The hosts also mention the Netherlands' ignored referendum regarding the Ukraine-EU Association Agreement.

1:40:36 And we'll be thanking more people later on in our donation segment and another show coming up on Thursday. Dvorak dot org slash N A A Still the weekend, still time to go out and pester friends and family with a full... Our formula is this We go out, we hit people in the mouth Order! Order! Thanks Obama Shut Up! Yeah, there was a clip I wanted to play in the first half of the show which had to do with CNN. Short clip, little interesting clip but this to me was like... Oh! I've noticed this before. I think i brought it up yeah? I know exactly what you're gonna say

1:41:24 So I'm watching this CNN, they got five guests. And it's like what kind of perspective are we going to get from five guests? All of which with the exception and i'm not sure this is an exception... ...Of a New York Times writer all the guests are spooks. Here's the intro! Who was hosting the show? This was your buddy Anderson. Well then there's six spooks Yes!

1:42:15 Yeah, all you don't even need to listen to him now all spooks including pooper. Yeah I know yeah But you know the thing that your kind of coverage is we don't need this in the spooks giving us a party line it Yeah, we do Don't yeah what but you're watching CNN for news value? You're in the wrong place if it's for entertainment I was just having to be flipping around flipping around but I always have to remind myself that CNN had breaking news and For a year about MH 17 so you know with all the stuff they've got That's what they do is. They glom on to one thing that does somehow Stimulate people, you know one topic which could be scary Russian spooks spies whatever planes It makes him did kind of rings the bell What is that again? Is that it was at the thing that was

1:43:08 Disappeared or is that the one that was shot down? No, no. The 417 was the one that disappeared Okay And the MH3... 87? No 317 or 37 whatever The one that disappeared Yeah, no That's the one that was shot down Oh okay The one that was shot down I forgot about this until just now Because we're still waiting for the report from the Dutch investigators Wait a minute This is years ago and were still waiting for the report Yes But wait, hold on a second. Let me back up. So they shot this thing down over Ukraine and they blamed the Russians and they have the black boxes amongst the dead people. I don't think they've ever released them. Mostly Huxleys? Netherlands folks MH370

1:44:00 They got that they got all this stuff. Now when was this? This was like two, three years ago now and they still haven't come up with a report? Yes three years ago and but on top of that because there's another piece you've gotta take into account the Ukraine Ascension Agreement which the Netherlands had a referendum although not binding they said we do not want Ukraine to be part of the EU And guess what! They just signed it anyway We don't need you Holland screw you but just moving along. So there was all of that in a back background backdrop and we're still waiting, we're still waiting yes we're still waiting for the official report which I've lost track at this point

CIA Vending Machine Scandal and Smart Card Hacking

A minor scandal at the CIA involved contractors who developed a method to steal $3,000 worth of snacks from vending machines over six months. The scheme involved unhooking the machines from the internet to prevent smart cards from verifying funds. The hosts compare the creative theft to tactics described in Abbie Hoffman's "Steal This Book."

cia· vending machines· hacking· smart cards· contractors· rt

1:44:45 But if you go to any of the Dutch blogs, like they're still waiting. Still waiting from time to time they come out with something and where's the Bellingcat guy? I mean that douchebag got it all because that's what was based on a photo which was crowdsourced from Belling cat upside down question mark who tried to crowdfund his operation didn't work out. And I don't think so now I ran into in this story. I'm just going to fill with a couple short items here This is a CIA scandal. CIA scandal that was not reported in the main... I'm watching mainstream media. M5M? Have you heard about this CIA scandal? I also watch the m5m, i have not heard of the scandal Well it's.. What is this about? Hello welcome back Now your love of junk food could cost you your job at least if you push it too far That's the lesson to be learned from a recent scandal thats rocked the CIA RT's Miguel Francis Santiago explains

1:45:44 Big news, CIA contractors couldn't steal snacks without getting caught. The contractors were working for the CIA developed a special payment method to steal 3,000 worth of vending machine junk food and we're doing it for about six months until they got busted Oh in the scheme was quite elaborate the I thought this was a pretty funny story and then i was thinking about the mechanism they were using some joker these are these you know snowden got type guys right contractor yeah they know what they're doing there's a big machine sells pot, you know. They're all North Koreans I think

1:46:45 So he has soda and potato chips and all these things. Mountain Dew, man! And they got the screw thing that moves like a screw until the thing falls. Now what they did was from what I can understand is they had these cards, smart cards that had money on them or prepaid money but it was kind of associated with their bank account to unhook the internet so you can't call dial in and connect You can't call home but the machine doesn't know that It's too stupid And so it takes them, it thinks is taking money off the card when it's not taking anything off the card and it's coughing up to potato chips. That was cool. That's the kind of creative that's the kind of thing that would if Abby Hoffman were still writing today he'd put that in his steel this book too I think you can do a subway subway cards you can do it as well. So I'm sure you could do all kinds of places once you unhooked the internet. Cool

Grenfell Tower Fire, Hotpoint Fridge, and Product Recalls

Police investigating the Grenfell Tower fire in London have identified a Hotpoint brand fridge-freezer as the initial source of the blaze. While no formal recall has been issued, the company is asking owners of the specific model to register their devices. The hosts express skepticism about a refrigerator causing such a massive disaster and suggest it may be a convenient scapegoat for structural failures.

grenfell tower· london· hotpoint· fire investigation· refrigerator· product recall

1:47:40 Well, something to be tried. Yeah well people their programming skills are not this stuff I have an appliance story yeah that's kind of an appliance oh by the way breaking news you steal from your employer you get fired though we know what caused it the irony is they weren't stealing from the employers it was stealing from the vending machine company okay We now know what caused the Grenfell fire but did you heard Well, I'm sure I haven't heard what you're going to tell me. Well now that I have a clip of it, I was surprised that I did not hear about this. Stephanie Mercier is here to take us through the latest developments including where the fire began? Yeah, that's right. Now police have identified what they believe is the source of this fire. Have a look at this. It's a hot point

1:48:31 brand fridge freezer appliance. That's what police believe started this massive fire now they think that it started in an apartment on the 4th floor, but they haven't yet said how they think the fire broke out of this appliance have a listen to the detective Superintendent. We've been working with the Department of Energy, Business and Industrial Strategy who are working with Hotpoint on the safety of that fridge. We know this fire wasn't started deliberately and we know that the fridge freezer in this matter has never been subject to a product recall before

1:49:09 Further tests are ongoing on that fridge. Now the company Hotpoint is asking people with the same model number to register their devices with them as we heard there has been no recall issued but officials say that a decision on forthcoming recall could be made in the near future What a great meeting that must have been Wow. Hey, I got an idea Let's blame it on something that could probably never in your life have you seen catch fire? I don't know like a refrigerator Yeah, that'd be funny yeah That's great let's see if they'll eat that the calling has begun people stop believing this well here Let's take it to another and let's take it to level just up to the ante on this all right

1:49:54 What about Hotpoint, man? They're gonna get irked. Hotpoint? Hotpoint?! Who's Hotpoint? Hotpoint is like a brand, man... Oh no! No no no Okay, you give me that one. I got the answer what about Hotpoint man? They're gonna get mad sue us Yeah, they are but out there if we don't do a deal with them here's how it's gonna work These companies all of them all these appliance companies they never get anyone to register they can't get their address We need to know our customers. I got a great idea how we can get customer database together for the mailing list I know mailing lists man hey, man Go to our website

Les Enragés, Jordan Peterson, and Lobster Neurochemistry

A historical reference to "Les Enragés" from the French Revolution is linked to modern political anger. Dr. Jordan Peterson's lecture on the neurochemistry of lobsters is used to explain human dominance hierarchies and the role of serotonin. The discussion details how trauma and defeat can lead to a shrunken hippocampus and a permanently enlarged amygdala, increasing emotional sensitivity.

jordan peterson· french revolution· serotonin· amygdala· ptsd· lobsters

1:50:32 In fact, that's the only fridge whose name I'll remember now. It's great! The joke is of course it's called Hot Point. So there you have your fire starter. We got an interesting email in historical reference from producer Colin ITM Gents just downloaded today's episode, that was a 9 or 4 or 0 and will listen but wanted to share page of history from the French Revolution which appears relevant in light of recent discussions of PTSD and how it can affect the brain. There was an entire group during the French Revolution known as Les Enragés I think is how you pronounce it

1:51:15 Quite literally meaning, the enraged ones. They were members of leftist elite circles who deliberately took advantage of latent anger within the Parisian mob by stoking it and then directing it at the government, church whatever or whoever got in their way. Makes you think about Madonna and all the various other rabble-rousers out there on the left and right Thank you for your courage Colin Cunningham And so there's a wiki entry for this, Les Enragés Yeah, I've heard of them. I hadn't heard of them and it makes a lot of sense Certainly when you take into account this clip that I have from dr Jordan Peterson He is the guy from the Candanavian University who says I'm not gonna use those damn made-up pronouns This is from one of his lectures And if I think the lecture was on On YouTube so I would advise going to watch about religion. Thank let me see if I have it here

1:52:16 I can't find it right off there, but it was something about the he was relating today to the Bible etc. And he came up with a story of the lobster which takes a minute just To get into the lobster story But it's very relevant as he finishes up how we are you okay? Yeah Oh no, they made a weird sound not like you keeled over He's gonna keel over to you Because you're taking forever to get through this story Oh, sorry. Sorry. I'll keep going anyways back in the lobby to make that snide remark what's not remark that I was way I killed over because I was bored to see the end it sounded like and I've heard that before when the mic fell over I'm sorry this is that excited bounce my mouse

1:53:10 I'm so sorry. I bore you with my setups really sorry no, no, you don't know they're fascinating Sorry really really? Sorry, so anyways back to the lobsters So these creatures engage in dominance disputes, and I think dominance is the right way to think about it because lobsters aren't very empathic and they're not very social. And so it really is the toughest lobster that wins. What's so cool about the lobster is that when a lobster wins he flexes and gets bigger – so he looks bigger! Because he's a winner. It's like, he's advertising that and the biological... The neurochemical system that makes him flex is serotonergic And you think well who cares? What the hell does that mean? Well I'll tell you what it means! It's the same chemical that's affected by antidepressants in human beings So if your depressed your defeated lobster You're like this, i'm small things are dangerous I don't want to fight

1:54:04 You give someone an antidepressant, it's like up they stretch and then they're ready to take on the world again. Well if you give lobsters who just got defeated in a fight serotonin... Then they stretch out and they'll fight again. And that's like we separated from those creatures on the evolutionary time scale somewhere between 350 and 600 million years ago, and the damn neurochemistry is the same! It was funny because I revealed this finding... You know, I didn't discover this, I read about it but I talked to my graduate students about it. I used to take them out for breakfast you know? They were very contentious snappy bunch And they were always trying to one-up each other, and they were quite witty. For like six months until it got very annoying every time one of them went up the other they'd stretch themselves out and snap their hands like... So that was very funny! It was really very funny. You see this in lobsters so that's pretty amazing

1:54:56 And one of the other things that's really cool about lobsters is that, let's say you've been like top lobster for a long time but you're getting kind of old and some young lobster just wails the hell out of you. So you're all depressed but thing is your brain is dominant But you don't have much of a brain because you are a lobster so now what are going to do? Because you just lost! The answer is well your brain will dissolve and then you'll grow as subordinate brain Yeah, and so that's worth thinking about too right here for a couple of reasons. First of all if any of you have ever been seriously defeated in life You know what? That's like

1:55:32 It's like it's a death, a descent, a dissolution. And if you're lucky, a regrowth and maybe not as the same person that's what happens to people with post-traumatic stress disorder right their brains undergo permanent neurological transformation and then they then inhabit a world that is much more dangerous than the world that they inhabited to begin with but we also know too if you have post traumatic stress disorder or depression that your hippocampus shrinks It dies and shrinks, and you can sometimes get it to grow back. Your hippocampus shrinks and your amygdala grows, and the amygdala increases emotional sensitivity, and the hippocampus inhibits emotional sensitivity. And so if you've been badly defeated, the hippocampus shrinks and the amygdala grows. Now if you recover, the hippocampus will regrow, and antidepressants actually seem to help that but the damn amygdala never shrinks again. Permanent damage bitches! Wow where'd you get that clip?

1:56:26 From I'll tell you exactly one of our producers sent it to me in that great. Well, I eat it's a fantastic clip Um, I'll give you a borderline for it just make you feel better It's a I didn't know the amygdala got big and stayed that way. I thought it varied up and down. No, you're done! You're toast! Wow... That means most of the people in Dimension B that haven't been saved by now are probably doomed? Yes well you can apparently

1:57:07 with serotonin, get your hippocampus back up a little bit. Yeah but then you get the serotonin issue which is... Right You know we have people on our that listen to our show that warn against anybody playing around with serotonin it's like you can't stop doing it I mean you're stuck you're screwed It's uh..it's a medical condition We need brain...we need fMRIs for everybody You could be, you know...you could actually become unhinged in this condition. We need a name for it! We need to name for it for this condition

Canada Marijuana Legalization, Health Guidelines, and Justin Trudeau

Canada prepares for the federal legalization of marijuana in 2018, with public health experts issuing guidelines to reduce harm. Recommendations include avoiding use under age 16 and waiting six hours before driving. The hosts mock the stereotypical media portrayal of "audio guys" as the primary users of marijuana while noting the broad demographic of current consumers.

canada· marijuana· justin trudeau· cbc· thc· public health

1:57:51 I got nothing. I think it's funny you put that in because this guy is a pronoun guy play the Canadian pronoun law just to keep people up with this Meanwhile Canada passed the law which is supported by Prime Minister Trudeau making it illegal to call people by their wrong gender pronoun critics warn that Canadians who disobeyed this new legislation could be charged with a hate crime fined or even jailed. Well, we've talked about this before on the show it's just there's the same status I think though there is news from Canada though

1:58:29 about the legalization of marijuana. This is a big deal and I have two clips here. Well, a year from now the federal government plans to legalize the use of marijuana but how much should you use if at all? As much as possible dude! When and how should it be administered? All questions without clear answers but today a group of public health experts Issued a list of guidelines in hopes of reducing the risk of pay attention everybody harm Sarah Goloshin is on that story for us this evening. We and it seems this really is about Reducing risks they made it pretty clear right off the bat at the press conference That if you want no risk at all from marijuana that you shouldn't use marijuana They are also realistic They know that people do use Marijuana and more likely to once it becomes legal so the experts have taken a look at the research that Is out there they have?

1:59:16 have Some of these guidelines are what you might expect from really any drug. If you're pregnant, avoid marijuana. If you have mental health issues, avoid marijuana but others are more specific to pot and let's take a look at those if we can put them up okay if you're under the age of 16 they're suggesting avoiding marijuana because your brain is still developing and yeah this is your brain man this is your brain on drugs! Any questions? They believe that pot could have a negative effect as well they're suggesting I learned it by watching you, okay? ...use. In other words once or twice a week is very different from using it daily and scientific research indicates that there are negative effects from frequent and intensive use... Oh wow let's listen! There are negative effects from frequent uh what kind of use? Let's see forgetfulness

2:00:09 Something, man. I don't know what she said. From frequent and intensive- Intensive use? Use! Also much like don't drink and drive, Don't smoke and drive They suggest you need to wait six hours before getting behind the wheel Another one that... Unless you want to clog the highway because you're doing 25 That is worth talking about is their advice not to smoke marijuana And that's not to say don't use marijuana But they are specifically talking about The smoking of it Suggesting that it is hard on the lungs perhaps better ways to ingest it, specifically in baked goods or candies. And they suggest that might be better because it's not only easier on the lungs but also easier to control the dose of THC you're getting." So are these medical experts trying to get word out across the country? What kind of reaction has there been?" Well like I said we know that people do use marijuana and so CBC reached out

2:01:00 Well, you know we do know people who use the marijuana so we reached out to them but did you just look to than your neighbor? In the next cubicle? The guy in the control room, the engineer pushing the buttons. Hey man! And they suggest that might be better because it's not only easier on the lungs but also easier to control... What a stereotype come on it's not just an audio guy It's always the audio guys smoking weed No, its everybody. Of course. THC that you're getting So these medical experts trying to get the word out people across the country what kind of reaction has there been Well like I said we know that there are people who do use marijuana and so CBC reached out

Marijuana Control Strategy, Tax Revenue, and Criminal Gangs

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau emphasizes that legalizing marijuana is a strategy for "control" rather than just liberation. He argues the current system fails to protect children and allows criminal gangs to profit. The government plans to implement quality control and use tax revenues from legal sales to fund mental health and addiction services.

justin trudeau· marijuana· taxation· organized crime· quality control· canada

2:01:37 those people who are familiar with the effects of a pot and find out what they make of this advice in these guidelines. And here's a little of what we heard I do it for anxieties and sleeping and eating disorders, and it seems to work Like to tell people to not use it and abstinence is best, is coming out of their yoohoo. Well, I have a pipe. I'm not done. I'm not done. I'm not done. Oh, it was that way No, I have two clips has said to you all can go to clips um I have the the prime minister to go He's at pothead for sure yeah But he saying some stuff that my fellow weed enthusiasts may want to be careful of over there in Candinavia You've made these steps towards legalizing marijuana. You're pushing that forward next year and

2:02:48 and may be in place by the summer of 2018. One thing I've noticed in all these, is the government going to make money out of this? Is this gonna be something you tax? It's one bit which isn't very clear to me Well it's not very clear to you because we haven't focused on that The reason we are choosing to legalize and control marijuana... Whoa whoa did you hear what he said Yeah. Control, it's all about control of your weed people. Legalize and control marijuana is because the current system is not protecting our kids and right now easier for an underage Canadian teenager to buy a joint than it is for them to get their hands on a bottle of beer and whatever you may think about the relative harms of marijuana versus alcohol or cigarettes

2:03:40 Marijuana is not good for the developing brain. It's not good for our kids We need to do a better job of making it more difficult at least as difficult as it is to access alcohol as it can be and that's the main part of our legalization strategy along with recognizing that criminal organizations and street gangs are making billions of dollars every single year off of the sale of marijuana which they then funnel into other criminal activities. So you put those two things together, you realize we have a system that isn't working. Can we change it? Can we make it more difficult for young people to access marijuana? It's all the focus on 16 year olds... Oh yeah there is something else going on! Can we get access to marijuana through at least regulated and overseen

2:04:36 frame that the government will put forward to make sure there's quality control, make sure that profits aren't going into illicit corners. Hide your seeds people! Yeah, there's gonna be two levels. There's gonna be this the for the schmucks like you and me Here's what? The government says you can have they're gonna say how much THC you can have sure that profits aren't Going into illicit corners and yes draw on tax revenues that can then be put into It can be put into war and stuff like that That's what you want with your tax dollars like education campaigns You know

2:05:13 better advocacy, better work in mental health and addiction services for all drugs. Those are the kinds of things that we see as a logical step forward so the lens we're taking yes there will most likely be plenty of economic activity and alcohol as a model you have big global players in beer Uh, in Canada. But you also have a lot of micro breweries and there's that capacity and consumer choice if you want to choose what you want their options out there. Yes. You know what? Stone man! We're just a bunch of schmoes for these people. Schmoes here your schmoe joint. You can have this one. All right well are you good another one? No. Okay I'm going to play something that is spot pot but it's a different text if you haven't noticed

Stoned Driving Scams, Insurance Claims, and Colorado Statistics

A study by the Highway Loss Data Institute claims car insurance claims rose in states with legal marijuana, but the Colorado State Patrol reports a decrease in impaired driving accidents. The hosts characterize the conflicting reports as a "scam" by insurance companies to justify higher premiums. They argue that texting while driving is a far more significant cause of accidents than "stoned driving."

colorado· washington· marijuana· car crashes· insurance· highway loss data institute

2:06:11 And I believe somebody even tweeted me something and maybe got an email, oh studies are showing that you know when you use pot you're gonna get into a car wreck. There's been a lot of these floating around all of a sudden again we have these last ditches that don't legalize it because you're going to get into a car wreck. Anyone who is in the area where its legal Washington State is a good example And my wife points this out because she's up there all the time. Yeah, you can spot these stoners in these cars because they're driving around a stoner. A guy is stone-driving, stoned! They're driving around some old Nissan that has never been washed and it has one wobbly tire kind of crabbed. Does it have fish on the back an Obama sticker? An Obama sticker. It was going down the road about...

2:07:00 18 miles an hour. Dude, slow down man! So this is not really... you know yeah I guess you could run if you're going down the road at normal speeds you can rear end them because suppose that could cause an accident so the accident thing is I think I just found it to be peculiar they were running these stories CBS who must have one stone or someplace in the edit room Easter eggs putting easter eggs Well, this is the story on the driving impaired in Colorado. And they showed a chart in Colorado since they legalized it two years ago, the wrecks have gone up 14% and Washington has gone up

2:07:40 A little bit, a little bit in Oregon. But nothing that really there's no real numbers here but the 14% is concerning except when you actually look into this whole picture and it's kind of revealed within the package and you can hear it. To those fronts our industry spends 70 billion dollars a year in research and development which is more than any other industry So in general we're encouraged by the direction that we are heading. I think everybody agrees. I'm sorry, this is CBS News on driving impaired in Colorado. A new insurance study out this week looked at car crashes in several states that allow the use of recreational marijuana. Barry Peterson reports from Denver

2:08:24 Colorado led the nation with the first sales of legal recreational marijuana in 2014. But the drug's impact on roadway crashes has not been well documented Now, The Highway Loss Data Institute has reported an increase in insurance claims filed for collisions in Colorado Washington and Oregon three states where recreational marijuana is legal Matt Moore oversaw the study. Colorado, just relative to the states around it we're seeing an increase of almost 14 percent But those numbers do not match what the Colorado State Patrol has tracked. Sergeant Rob Madden says the agency has actually seen a decrease in the number of driving impaired accidents since pot sales became legal. Two years of data is not enough to allow us to draw conclusions, to come up with an explanation

2:09:22 What is safe, what is not safe? Lawyer Brian Vicente represents pot shops and played a major role in Colorado's legalization. Typically you can drink one beer and drive but if you have three your over the limit. States are taking a hard look to try figure out what is that three-beer limit for marijuana There have been tragedies from mixing marijuana and driving Last year high school student Chad Britton was killed by a teen driver high on pot And while pot may be legal, impaired driving is not. Even though it's that much harder to detect. What we are looking for is the impairment that we see while speaking to the drivers. Barry Peterson CBS News Denver Wow so instead of celebrating

2:10:09 the fact that, uh...that this has actually gone down. Yes? We're going to turn it into a, you know, weed's gonna kill ya piece Yeah it's gonna kill ya and you gotta pay more for insurance now in these states Ah there you go I was looking for the angle That's where your kicker is I was looking for the angle But if-if you have a medical license card Is that Oh! You probably can't even get insurance Ahhhhh I would never get one of those license cards It's crazy No why would you want to do that before you know it You can't own a gun and you can't live within 500 yards of the school. Yeah, you name it yeah So this is a scam so somebody who sent me well look at this hey the cop on the beat that Colorado Highway Patrol says no it's gone down hello yeah, and they would know

2:11:05 It's a scam. A scam! It's a scam!! Yeah, it's just a simple scam. I'm gonna show my support by donating to No Agenda Imagine all the people who could do that Oh yeah that'd be fab On No Agenda in the morning That's a good point, i'll probably lose my pilot's license eventually because of it Maybe And my ham license That's pretty much.

Canada Day Donations, Forest Fire Rainstick, and Starfleet Valley

Producers from Alberta and British Columbia send donations to celebrate Canada's 150th anniversary. A donor in Lisbon requests a "rainstick" ceremony to help extinguish forest fires in Portugal. Sir Donald of Spokane Valley, using "United Federation of Planets" letterhead, contributes his monthly "monetary fuel" to the program.

2:11:50 Well, let's thank a few people for show 941. Yes starting with the couple of the Canadians here from British Columbia in Alberta and another one from some end Lisbon apparently no no 150 bucks That's the Canadian to connect Canada Day is July 1st and we'll be tick collecting 150 bucks as 150th anniversary Of Canada have used to be Dominion day Travis Dilman in Red Deer, Alberta red deer $150 and he says happy effin B day bitches Alan bows in Langley British Columbia Keep up the great work to heal the broken American psyche Is that what we're doing

2:12:39 Yeah, it's sad to watch the USA tear itself to pieces by political manipulations. No no no but every country gets the government and M5M it deserves that's that's the way it goes we deserve a job deserve it And then finally Jose Abreu in Lisbon wants a little job karma We're gonna put that specifically for him at the end of $50 and he says could you shake the rainstick? To help put out the forest fires Yes I'm just gonna let you do it cuz i don't want to. It's a forest fire John come on we need both sticks, come on get your stick.

Douchebag Call-outs, Seth's Four Sevens, and Mark Klein

A graduate student named Seth sends a donation of $77.77 to "de-douche" himself after being called out by his best friend's mother. He uses the numerological power of "four sevens" to compensate for his limited budget. The hosts also clarify the identities of various donors named Mark, including Sir Mark K and Mark Klein.

2:16:15 Everyone's trying to jump up. Hey, if I give you 200 baht can I then be? 150 rupees Like it just like a buck 50 dude the Indians won't even give us root that little rupees don't give us anything That's true the Indians are cheap cheap They're cheap just away there is culture. Just we don't hate him for that. It was just no We don't hear it's just the way they are cheap can help doesn't do about it. You can't help themselves Andrew Newton in Swindon, UK.

2:17:16 There often comes a point in man's life when he is forced to grapple with his shortcomings and assess his manifold failures. From my experience, these moments of self-reflection usually occur when 1. A. Drunk or B. not drunk enough. My most recent existential crisis burst forth when I, in abject horror heard myself being called out as a douchebag a week or so ago. I can tell you though i've often been called hideous and unspeakable names by my friends and past there's nothing that so sharply and brutally cuts to the quick like being named as a profligate non-donating douche bag on the best podcast in the universe And while I have weathered my friends' several douchebag callouts in the past, yes several I'm ashamed to say. There can certainly be nothing worse than not only being called out as a douche bag but being called out as a douche bag by my best friend's mother!

2:18:03 This heavy shame quite simply became too much for me to bear. So thank you, Susan for doing what needed to be done to correct my ways." So I've sent you my donation of $77.77. Granted it's paltry but I'm a poor graduate student and hoping the numerological power of four sevens will make up for its rather poor monetary significance. Thank you very much Seth! And like hitting the four sevens on a slot machine. He says, The Seven Heavens, The Seven Classical Planets, The Seven Hills of the Great City of Rome, The Seven Stiff Drinks I've Had Tonight...

Sir David Adema Knighting and Hookers and Blow Controversy

David Adema is inducted into the No Agenda Roundtable in a formal knighting ceremony. The hosts reminisce about an early controversy where a female donor misinterpreted the "hookers and blow" joke, leading to the inclusion of "Rent Boys and Chardonnay" for Dames. They also joke about a study claiming Oreos are as addictive as cocaine.

Ramsey Kane Career Test, GuideStar, and SPLC Hate Groups

Producer Ramsey Kane shares an anecdote about a personality test that suggested he was equally suited to be a priest or a clown. The discussion turns to GuideStar, a database for non-profits, which has begun labeling certain organizations as "hate groups" based on data from the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). The hosts characterize this as a "shakedown" tactic used to manipulate non-profit ratings.

ramsey kane· guidestar· southern poverty law center· hate groups· non-profits· charity navigator

2:28:19 Or the Oreos are worse, I guess. It's one or the other. Oreos are just as addictive as cocaine! That's the way it was yeah So I've got to know from Ramsey Kane our buddy down in Surramzy. Yes, he is down there He was ill for something. I think he's okay now He mentions, he says, ITM I took a derivative of the MMPI, the Minnesota Multi-Phase Personality Inventory as a freshman in high school. The purpose of this version of the test was to indicate what career best suited the subject's personality. It took between four and five hours and was optional so some of the students bailed out after a short time. I stuck it out and got an interesting result."

2:28:56 The facilitator that had come to our high school from the University of Wisconsin-Madison explained that 99% of test takers would get one career suggestion, but sometimes it gave two. I took the test very seriously and was lucky enough to get two possible paths to pursue. I shit you not, my profile suggests that I become either a priest or a clown." And what's the difference is what media likes to say? I'm not sure what this says about me or the test but it speaks volumes about those particular lifestyles that a person could equally be suited to either one Keep up the great work, Kane. I have a few No Agenda CDs out soon. I've been working all weekend on them and will send an official announcement when they're up on the site. Noagendacd.com and we appreciate that what he does you know? We use GuideStar a lot guidestar.org which is if you want to go find form 990s for non-profit groups that's where most of them are very disturbing

2:29:59 change that has taken place in how they put their ratings up. And you know, there's been all kinds of weird stuff with it. Now it wasn't GuideStar was charity navigator who literally took money from the Clintons and then gave them a five star rating for whatever their rating is or having nothing before and this had no rate whatsoever as just kind of like the marijuana card we were joking about it but you can have a gun You can live near school. You can drive that will all happen When you now see that GuideStar, whose only job is to publish all of the reports and have a searchable database. They do... I guess they make money on the side with producing special packaged reports if you're doing something for research and have it all ready-to-go for ya'. They are now including in their listings if a nonprofit organization is a hate group

2:30:58 And they are receiving this information directly from the Southern Poverty Law Center. This is very bad! Yeah, I agree If you look at the list of the hate groups that SPLC has deemed as a hate group there's some that really don't belong in that A lot of them actually Well name two I have to look at the list. Oh, I thought you had it in front of you... Never mind! No, no, I don't have the list in front of me but go ahead and take a look. I'll ask again. Yeah, I'l be ready with an answer next time But this Southern Poverty Law Center man, this- You know what? I believe its probably going on here. Scam

2:31:40 Well, that's a word I very rarely use. But...I think it's something like you get with the Rainbow Coalition or that thing Sharpton does which is me. Yeah exactly! We're gonna pass through here. You wanna get off our list? When's our donation coming in?! Get to Southern Law Property Law Center. Call on your hate group. Do you want be a hate group or do you wanna help us? Hate or help. Because obviously if you give us money we would not be a hate group and easily take you of the list Sounds like that to me. It does a bit and there are lot of these operations do that we should you know, we could probably I've always thought about this is one of these things You know what? Does it take to pull off one of these stunts and get a bunch of free money Well, I think you're looking at with example Yeah well as SPLC has they have 700 million dollars in the bank

Yelp Manipulation, Non-Profit Marketing, and The Five on Fox

The hosts discuss how platforms like Yelp can be used to manipulate business reputations. They touch on the importance of "storytelling" in marketing non-profits to millennials. The segment concludes with a critique of the new set and cast of "The Five" on Fox News, specifically discussing the replacement of Juan Williams and the "flamboyant" style of the new contributors.

2:32:30 You know, there's some evidence that Yelp kind of pulls this stuff. Oh, of course they do that! Everyone uses Yelp to manipulate... Um yes I think i want a good table. I'm a Yelp reviewer No, I'm thinking Yelp because I know one place that dig it because they don't Well didn't they get in trouble for doing just that? A couple years ago Yes and I think they still get in. I think they still do it Well I'm sure the sales guys are saying hey you know we can uh but I got access to something I can push some stuff down I can push it down, but Tina went to some conference about direct marketing of nonprofits to millennials. Oh wow! Did she get the literature? I'd love to read some of this stuff. I'll ask her she said it was very interesting how much design matters and they have a story yes have a story yes it has to have a story what the hell

2:33:27 Oh, I want a story. I don't wanna buy anything that doesn't have a story behind it! I don't wanna buy Del Monte ketchup because I don't know the story...I want a story. I wanna know where the tomato came from and what kind of life it led before it was crushed and made into ketchup." I've now completely forgotten how I was gonna tie that into GuideStar. I really completely forgot. I don't know what the connection was but if there's something, then it'll come back to me Damn it. Well, I'll get the material from her and then it will trigger how I was going to relate that to GuideStar and SPLC But yeah It's a shakedown Yeah, shakedown That is the word Shakedown, I agree I think its a shakedown Yeah, it's a shakedown But anyway you know what? It really brings into question this organization who are rating The non-profits based upon their category And they... They are bitchy too

2:34:24 They'll say, well you didn't have that. You didn't include that in your report so we're giving you three stars." Well how can I make it five? Well you have to do everything we say which is also a form of a shakedown. Yeah but there's no money involved though. It gives them more credence... Do it our way or die! There you go. America Right onward. Yes, I have a couple. I got a meme. I want to get this out before we do the night We've stopped this show and go to the next show Because i've been I was listening This is part of the greg Greg gut field up the five funds fox which they decided to make a big show They changed the set it's big glamorous set Do you think he's parking uh guilfoyle? No, I don't

2:35:18 She's I don't think she's of that type. Okay, she likes to portray herself as that well someone someone suggested that to me and I was not feeling gut-filled and Guilfoyle I don't think so it just doesn't work But they did bring in a substitute guy thing is gonna be the new one Williams I think Juan Williams is out this new guys in his a black guy saw the new guy yeah Yeah Gay. Yeah, perfect. In fact he's... And he's the Democrat. He's another black. So they up the ante because he is gay. Black, Democrat and gay. Perfect! Yeah, he looks like little Richard It would be better if you had a skin disease. You know like an albino? He is flamboyant. He has got mascara around his eyes. He is flamboyant. He has kind of greasy hair. And Guilfoyle loves him she is a fag hag

2:36:08 Uh, that's a possibility. I think so. Um, whatever the case, the guy is hilarious outspoken knows how to be plays very well on the show. I think he does a good job of not getting carried away. But anyway, the show is like a huge set they're really going to push it but then I'm watching it because I was fascinated by the new layout and everything And then there was the meme comes to mind because I was scanning around different Fox shows and I started hearing this meme over and over and over. When I heard Gutfield say it, I said okay, meme of the month. Both of those fronts in our industry spends $70 billion a year in research and development which is more than any other industry. No no, meme of the month! Oh Jesus

CHAPTER 38 / 41 Discussion

Party of Tolerance Meme, NLP, and Obamacare Death Stats

A recurring meme on Fox News regarding "hate from the party of tolerance" is analyzed as a Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) technique designed to confuse the "lizard brain." The hosts also debunk a claim that Obamacare saved 50,000 lives, tracing it back to a 2015 Obama speech about preventable hospital deaths. They predict the media will soon claim "Trumpcare" will kill an equal number of people.

nlp· fox news· obamacare· barack obama· trumpcare· memes

2:37:03 You really want to play that clip? Well, it made so much sense with your setup. Meme of the month... okay this also had meme in the title you see? Oh yes it did. Okay sorry. Damn there's a lot of hate coming from The Party Of Tolerance they demonize those who disagree and then they wonder why America is so divisive! The party of tolerance no oh Oh wait, don't say it! Don't say it. Let me hear it again. Damn there's a lot of hate coming from the party of tolerance They demonize those who disagree and then they wonder why America is so divisive Demonized those who disagree? No no It's just the phrase right at the beginning You had half of it Damn there's a lot of hat-

2:37:42 Hold on, let me do it again. Damn there's a lot of hate coming from the party of tolerance! They demonize those who disagree and then they wonder why America is so divisive? Okay yeah but hate from the party of tolerance... Hate from the party of tolerance I've heard this over and over again this came out as a memo i just know it don't still have a copy but when you keep hearing hate from the party of tolerance Hate from the party of tolerance. You just, you know this is like they're gonna keep saying this until people call and say we're sick of hearing it! This is very interesting to me having studied NLP a little bit whenever you put a dichotomy together

2:38:20 It confuses people's brains and you can give them a whole bunch of information that they will suck up. So in this case, hate and tolerance within the same breath is very important because when you say that The person- the recipients brain goes What is it? What what? The lizard brain. What's happening? And then you can say Buy Coca Cola! You could do all of that stuff Yeah, it's like freedom controller That was the best name I ever came up with Yeah, oh that's actually pretty cute now to mention it. Yeah, that's why I did it yeah well good Hey, can we play this right? I've noticed his meme I got a little irked by and I want people out there make sure when you hear It you know it's just as bull crap do you have more examples no one dis is known as the meme of the month But why but why is it bullcrap

2:39:12 Hate for, no it's bullcrap because it's developed as a meme to be used on the public to make you hate Democrats. This is just the same thing that the Democrats are trying to get you to hate Trump. Well this is some high level thinking I don't think its by accident someone who knows what they're doing came up with this It can't be by accident or they wouldn't have everybody and their sister seeing it No I mean the hate and tolerance that I think thats also engineered I think its engineered Yeah I think it is too Speaking of memes, remember we kept hearing Obamacare is keeping 50 thousand people alive. Yeah did you get to the bottom of that? I did, this was something Obama said

2:39:59 And let me get you the exact date of this. This is 2015, March 2015 in a recent speech marking... I didn't have time to get the clip as long. Marking the fifth anniversary with Affordable Care Act President Barack Obama touted a number of accomplishments he credited to law quote The work that we've been able to do is already spurring the kinds of changes We had hoped for it's helped reduce hospital readmission rates dramatically It's a major reason why we've seen 50 thousand fewer preventable patient deaths and hospitals Well, that is a quite a stretch from it's keeping 50 thousand people alive. Fuck that! I'd say... Wow That's just insulting for anyone who has Google. That's like the 97% insulted because nobody cares about it anymore So now its Trumpcare will kill an extra 50 thousand people each year Yeah definitely That's now how it's uh... That's our goal

CHAPTER 39 / 41 Discussion

Drug Pricing Memes, Value of Care, and Viagra Costs

At the Aspen Ideas Festival, a pharmaceutical industry representative introduces the "value of care" meme to justify high drug prices. This shift moves away from "volume pricing" toward charging based on the perceived value of a patient's life. The hosts argue this is a form of extortion, where life-saving medication is priced according to what a person is willing to pay to stay alive.

big pharma· drug pricing· viagra· lyrica· fda· aspen ideas festival

2:40:56 We've been working on that for a long time, finally within our grasp. All right so I can play the drug guy and his meme that i think people have to be aware of because this is what I think... Because the drug companies have not been able to rationalize why they charged 10 bucks for a pill that they're now charging 60 bucks for And they have all these phony baloney excuses, but there's something in this. There is a meme in here the guy screws it up by the way This is the drug dude. Oh I can finally play this clip Yes, that's what you've been waiting to play. This is the guy now Just I think it's the most onerous thing I've ever heard and I will explain it to you after you played the clip both of those fronts our industry spends stop

2:41:41 Let me set it up. This was at the Aspen conference, Judy was there... Ah, the douchebag. And this is the guy who's head of the drug industry trade organization. Douche R Us. Both of those fronts and our industry spends 70 billion dollars a year on marketing research and development which is more than any other industry So in general, we're encouraged by the direction that we're heading. I think everybody agrees drug prices are out of control in this country Pfizer announced it's raising the prices of a hundred drugs by 20% including some well-known drugs like Viagra and Lyrica. Drug companies have been sued I know by some state attorneys general alleged collusion Why does she have to say like viagra? Is that

2:42:28 Is that important to the story? That was snappy. What's going on? I mean, what do you see as the problem here? Well, I should start by trying to make sure that we're on the same fact basis so if you look at Express Scripts which is a leading PBM in the industry pharmacy benefit manager looking at spending in 2016 drug spending went up three and a half percent and net prices are up two point eight percent So if he went back 2 or 3 years Prescription drug spending is actually the lowest growing or slowest growing category in health care. We did go through a spike in 2014 and 2015, I would argue

2:43:11 would argue due to some anomalous factors. So FDA approved a record number of new drugs, Medicaid was expanded and a new cure for hepatitis C was introduced which revolutionized the treatment of that disease and will obviate the need for liver transplant as well as reduce the incidence of liver cancer we're now in the back half of that spike if you will. The python has sort of digested the tennis ball And even CMS's own actuaries estimate that drug spending will be between 4 and 6 percent for the next 10 years, which is roughly in line with overall health care spending. At the same time a lot of finger pointing going on I mean the In the healthcare industry between the drug companies, the pharmacy benefit managers hospitals insurers A lot of those fingers are being pointed though still at your industry

2:44:03 But we think there are, we take these issues very seriously. And we think there are pragmatic consumer-oriented solutions to address some of the issues that have been raised. So, for example a lot of the media attention in the last year is focused on companies that are really nothing like our member companies They're companies that are taking old drugs without market competition and raising the price dramatically and We think there are policy solutions primarily at the FDA That would address those situations Similarly we think as an industry The pricing model needs to evolve We need to move away from paying for volume, to paying for the value of care.

2:44:55 prescription drugs. Well, this again our sector may be a little bit lagging other health care sectors in this movement towards paying based on value as opposed to the volume of care. But play the ISO, this is what the guy's trying to say. This is drug guy ISO 1. It needs to evolve we need to move away from paying for volume to paying for the value of care That's that's that's that's the new meme value of care value of care refers to what your life worth

2:45:35 Well, we know it's only what is it eight million dollars six million dollar than that then the cure for this your disease Is eight million dollars how much money you got in the bank? This value of care 800 lives Value of care is you want to live as opposed to volume, which is here's what the pills cost to make. And if you want... and you know what? There's another there something nefarious going on here The guy mentioned Express Scripts and we've had a lot of medical stuff going on here This is a racket this is a big racket A lot of rackets but let's play part two of this clip This is the ISO 2 so here's how he screwed it up

2:46:15 paying based on value as opposed to the volume of care. But it's one of those rare areas that... It was supposed to be based on volume and value of care, but this time he blew it and said volume of care. So that was just because in other words they're just working on their... Did you notice this? That's act... Volume of care is beautiful! It's very funny but they're still working on his bit I mean they haven't got it down yet or they wouldn't have made that botch cause its a meme they are working on Well it's not all that great You can't remember it. Well, he wants value of care is the key. Value of care is what is worth to you? What is it worth to you to be alive? What does it work for you to live an extra day? In fact I've seen some drug commercials that talk about well you take this drug with your chemo and you'll live another extra month. Yeah but then the side effects are you may die

2:47:16 Yeah, well you're gonna die anyway apparently. We're all going to die. This is where they are headed... this is just extortion! These are a bunch of gangsters They've got a drug it costs so much to make it they can market up and make billions of dollars just doing that but no Nah, we're not gonna make volume anymore. Hell with volume! We're just gonna make enough to keep a few people alive and charge them for it So you wanna stay alive? What's the pill worth to ya?" That's what he says that is exactly what he's trying to say there She didn't catch it But no she's worried that Viagra is going up 20% Yes exactly good catch First thing she says oh my viagra Well that's a very very good catch John

2:48:01 That is good. That's where it's headed, then I like and I'd like even though he screws it up that is also true volume of care is what they're after as a business volume of care but you're right to say that with the what is the value of care yeah no more volume pricing value of care value was a value of care it really is it really is it just mobster-like Yeah. The mobs are up. So what's your business, uh... What do you think your business is gonna be worth with the window broken? You think I'm gonna do a good business today with the window broken?! We only have one show opener that we need and you can keep going they're really good!

CHAPTER 40 / 41 Discussion

Bahrain CNN Scandal, Brexit Reversal Thesis, and Frans Timmermans

An old clip resurfaces regarding Bahrain paying CNN for favorable coverage. The hosts revisit their "Brexit Reversal" thesis, citing new polls and statements from EU officials like Frans Timmermans. They argue that the UK is being treated like a "scorned partner" in a divorce, with the EU demanding a massive "bar tab" settlement before allowing a clean break.

cnn· bahrain· brexit· theresa may· frans timmermans· european union

2:48:47 Yeah, let's see where we are. You know what? Maybe you want to do that final clip for tech news or you want to wind up with something else I have a couple things left over that I can push the Thursday We can do the Tech News next show yeah I got arming Congress as fair You know I have this one. I carried over this amber Lynn CNN complaint, okay? I don't know what the and I don't know what it is exactly what let's listen Bahrain surprise to the US and and this content was airing on CNN And right after that is when the phone calls started coming into the network complaining about me Bahrain is paying CNN Oh This is so old yeah, it is that's what it is It's an old clip yeah, that's really old Yeah

2:49:29 I keep it. It's circulating that clip. Yeah, you know it's coming around like this is years old we knew about it. Oh yeah, I got the clip on one. Founded. Okay this what we want because this just falls right into my long-term thesis about Brexit okay so we're starting to hear now about Oh, is there any way we can reverse Brexit? It looks like if we took another vote the Brexit people would go the other way somehow. Which is to polls them! The polls! The polls! Do over! So here we have it, this is the latest report from RT and it's kind of just highlighting some of the reversing Brexit things they've caught here and there with clips. Union polls now show that if the country got to vote again it would reject leaving the EU so just like Theresa May the plan for Brexit went from strong and stable

2:50:25 to weak and wobbly in a space of just one year. While British politicians are bickering over Brexit, some of their EU counterparts aren't giving up hope that the divorce won't actually ever happen Some of my British friends have even asked me whether Brexit could be reversed. You may say I am a dreamer but i'm not the only one. Brexit is not a walk in the park I hate Brexit from every angle. If your government decides to organize a Brexit, i will be pretty tough on it Naturally it will never be the same It will never be outside the union better than inside the union Yes! Common Britain still has...

2:51:12 I totally agree with that man. It will never be outside the Union better than inside the union boom shakalaka. It will never be outside the union better than inside the union. I got this guy nailed. When Britain still have that illusion which is a waste of time You know, i have a clip that fits into this that i didn't play from a couple of shows ago maybe a couple of weeks ago Yeah, as this was starting to heat up. This is the guy that I know Frans Timmermans who is now the vice muckety-muck of the Starfleet command over there. Remember? This is a guy who came on The Dutch Radio Show before it got burned down

2:51:50 And he said, hey but you guys are doing us good. So he's super confusing to me, super elite. He was like yeah, hey do you want to leave? You gotta leave! Is it likely that the bill for Brexit is going to be around what Jean-Claude Juncker suggested 50 billion euros? numbers have been mentioned, I think it's only fair that if you leave a club you just settle the accounts. That is what you do and this will be part of negotiation and everybody wants to have a fair deal on this and i think its only fair to say to the United Kingdom you have some obligations, you entered into obligations over the years and if you want to leave the club you just settle your accounts with us So Dave Davies, the Brexit Minister for UK said over the weekend

2:52:39 1 billion euros is a lot of money. I quote him, he said they'd be willing to walk away." We don't have to listen the rest. What is it like? A bar tab? Yeah! You've settled your account yeah well but you haven't actually given us a number yet so how can we settle the account and somewhere in this clip he supposedly said we never asked you to leave which is kind of like a scorned partner You know, it's like well we're in divorce and now you have to pay me money. Well hey I never asked you to leave! Like that... It's not happening. Ehh well.. I think your thesis is still correct We are on track for a reversal No one has proven me wrong Nope Not yet, not yet Not happening Alright Then the civil war comes and then it happens after that Thanking for the end of show clips
