About this episode

The trial of Michelle Carter brings the role of SSRIs into the national spotlight as psychiatrist Peter Bregan argues that the antidepressant Celexa caused involuntary intoxication during the death of Conrad Roy. This legal battle coincides with a CDC report revealing that suicide rates among teenage girls have doubled over an eight-year period, a trend linked to the digital connectivity of social media and the influence of Netflix series like 13 Reasons Why.

In Missouri, Governor Eric Greitens signed Senate Bill 43, prompting the NAACP to issue a travel advisory over new discrimination law standards. Meanwhile, Evergreen State College faces a $4 million lawsuit from biology professor Brett Weinstein following campus protests over a Day of Absence. In the federal sphere, Attorney General Jeff Sessions is signaling a crackdown on state-legalized marijuana in Washington, while Special Counsel Robert Mueller intensifies his investigation into Michael Flynn. Ford Motor Company also faces scrutiny as 1.3 million Explorers are investigated for exhaust manifold cracks that leak carbon monoxide into police and civilian cabins.

Al Gore returns to the media circuit with An Inconvenient Sequel, claiming fish are swimming in the streets of Miami due to climate change, though local drainage issues tell a different story. Between discussions of 1952 vintage Armagnac and the technical failure of the iChip trademark symbol in RSS feeds, the value-for-value model continues with the knighting of Sir Lancelot of the Crystal Coast and the Dame of the Traveling Bassets.

CHAPTER 02 / 46 Discussion

Michelle Carter, Conrad Roy, Celexa, Involuntary Intoxication Defense

The trial of Michelle Carter involves testimony from psychiatrist Peter Bregan regarding her use of the antidepressant Celexa. The defense argues Carter was suffering from involuntary intoxication and delusions when she encouraged Conrad Roy to commit suicide via text message. Prosecutors counter this theory by highlighting Carter's failure to notify Roy's family and her subsequent texts to friends expressing fear of discovery.

02:33 Well, now that you dropped all these medications. Yes brings us to a clip right away Oh my goodness I wasn't even prepared what she got was in either until you brought this up All right What's he got so there's this murder case that is going on we're going through a happy topic excellent This murder case it wasn't it's not murder but she was this is the girl I can remember her name It's I think as mentioned in the report who? Was who goaded her boyfriend into killing himself. Right, okay yes I think we had clips of her she gets on the phone You've been on this story for a while you really like this story It keeps no- The story likes me Yeah it happens Because it keeps coming into my life the story and now I see why Go away story! Listen to this This is the girl on Selexa Uh oh I'm scared are you okay? I love you please answer Michelle showed little emotion at the trial

03:29 Her defense relies on this psychiatrist, Peter Bregan to explain her behavior even though he was not treating Michelle at the time. What did you get this off of? I love the dramatized music This is not your typical CBS piece No it's like the 48 hours show or that 2020 They take some murder and they stretch it for an hour Fabulous! I love them Not treating Michelle at the time He testifies that she was involuntarily intoxicated by an antidepressant drug she started taking three months earlier, Celexa. She has an involuntary intoxication where she is not forming

04:13 a criminal intent, I'm gonna harm him. She was enmeshed in the delusion where she's thinking that it's a good thing to help him die and we'll see grandiosity her deciding with him that she can't help him he wants to die and he wants to go to heaven and he doesn't want his family to suffer and she pronounces that she can do all of that But prosecutors completely dismiss that theory. She does not tell the Roy family about being on the phone with Conrad the night before, does she? His dead body is in a car 24 hours and she withholds that information! She's psychotic, deluded, disturbed...she's out of touch

05:02 Inexplicably, Michelle sent more than 80 texts to Conrad after he died. In some she even apologizes for not saving him but it wasn't just Conrad she texted the prosecution is hoping the judge pays particular attention to this text that she sent to her friend Samantha a week after Conrad's body was discovered They have to go through his phone and see if anyone encouraged him to do it on text and stuff. They read my messages with him, I'm done." Yeah lock her up i say! Hey so this SSRI is Alexa

CHAPTER 03 / 46 Discussion

SSRI Side Effects, Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors, Mental Health

A review of the published side effects for Celexa and other SSRIs reveals a range of complications including insomnia, weight changes, and sexual dysfunction. There is a discussion regarding the long-term impact of these drugs on brain chemistry and a thesis that many mass murders and suicides are linked to pharmaceutical intervention. A listener's account describes the difficulty of ever ceasing the use of these medications once the brain has adapted to them.

ssri· celexa· antidepressants· side effects· mental health· serotonin

05:45 Yeah. I did a quick search, and got the side effects or at least the published side effects It's not a happy drug actually if this is meant to make you happy Constipation nausea diarrhea upset stomach decreased sexual desire difficulty having an orgasm impotence Stop right there! Stop right there This is not the drug for you Dizziness, drowsiness, tiredness... Not a drug for anybody. ...insomnia, dry mouth, increased sweating or urination, weight changes and cold symptoms such as stuffy nose, sneezing sore throat or cough but nothing about oh here we go yeah there's yes okay continue with your story this is not I'm not a good drug I got it well the point is that the story isn't I mean that's a clip but

06:38 And when we watched this unfold on the public news shows, you know she was just some cold-hearted girl who just told her boyfriend to kill himself and then when he didn't want to she says go on. You keep talking about it Just do it. You need to do it, you want to do it? Do it! And she's nixing... She was 17 at the time or maybe 16 and she's on this crazy SSRI, Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor which is not a healthy drug for anybody to take we have a dame in our midst who wrote us describing what happens when you get stuck on these things. You have to take them for the rest of your life because your brain never works the same again properly ever and I think all this did for me was just confirm a thesis that we have on the show that half of these mass murders and nut cases... And suicides, and suicides, and suicides!

07:36 And suicides are largely due to these drugs and it doesn't come out. If this case would have turned on that, it would have been a fantastic situation. Yeah like thats gonna happen of course not. No its not going to happen but... Coincidentally, on the same day I get this clip. The teen girl suicide clip. Every parent or grandparent of a teenage girl will need to hear word of an alarming rise in girls taking their own lives suffering from depression and often not seeking the help they need federal health officials are now shining a light on the warning signs you should be on the lookout for we get details some NBC's Raheema Ellis

CDC Suicide Statistics, Teenage Girls, Social Media, 13 Reasons Why

The CDC reports a significant rise in suicide rates among teenage girls aged 15 to 19, with cases doubling over an eight-year period. Experts point to cyberbullying and social media as contributing factors to increased anxiety and depression. The Netflix series 13 Reasons Why is cited as a potential influence that coincided with a spike in internet searches related to self-harm.

08:16 15-year old Kirsten Killian battled depression since she was a little girl. When she was nine, it was when she had threatened suicide Last year she made another attempt taking an overdose of pills but reached out to her parents for help And every day I'm so grateful that she did. I didn't want to leave my younger siblings without an older sibling. But tonight, disturbing new numbers from the CDC shows too many teenagers are not getting the help they need especially girls aged 15 to 19 The rate of suicide in that group has doubled cases jumping from 260 to 524 in eight years for boys the rate jumped 31 percent Parents will be looking and saying what can I do?

09:02 The first thing parents can do is to become knowledgeable about mental health. Experts say there's no single cause but point to the overwhelming prevalence of social media and cyberbullying as factors. And depictions of teenage suicide like this Netflix series 13 Reasons Why, a TV drama about a high school girl who killed herself... ...how everyone's lives would be better without me coincided with an increase of internet searches about suicide. Is there anything that parents should be on the lookout for? Be on the lookout for changes in your child's patterns of behavior, their sleep patterns, their eating patterns, they way they talk about certain topics. Other advice have specific conversations about how your child is feeling don't lecture and check in often No one should ever feel ashamed if they're struggling. Depression is nobody's fault

09:55 Kirsten beating the odds and offering wise advice for teenagers and people who care about them. Rahima Ellis, NBC News New York This really opens up a can of interesting worms Last night at this party And there were I don't know 50 people they're all different walks of life Different to age ranges but a lot of us in our 40s as I say in our late forties and Yeah There was a consensus, and a lot of the women were discussing this amongst moms were discussing this among themselves. How young children and I'm talking 13 to early 20's

CHAPTER 05 / 46 Discussion

Millennial Anxiety, Social Media Competition, Digital Connectivity

The prevalence of the word "anxiety" among young people is noted as a modern phenomenon often tied to the constant connectivity of social media. An anecdote about a student at the University of Texas illustrates how the curated success of peers on digital platforms creates a sense of inadequacy. The discussion suggests that disconnecting from these platforms can lead to improved mental well-being by removing the pressure of constant competition.

anxiety· millennials· social media· university of texas· digital detox

10:33 have this constant anxiety over everything. The fact that they're even using this word, I mean when i was growing up when I was a kid... When I was growing up it would be I'm scared or you know worried or whatever but they continuously use the word anxious, I have anxiety and that is what these SSRI's are mainly prescribed for but besides just depression the word is anxiety and this is new A couple of things stood out in this report. I want to talk about the anxiety thing too, you know how when you're running a business or starting something up and then you start getting preoccupied with the competition and spending time instead doing your own thing?

11:19 Sure, that's yes the story of pod show. Okay continue What's the story of a lot of things if you and it turns out if you just kind of do your own thing? And you just concentrate on what you do It's going to be individualistic and enough so that the competition is not gonna necessarily take you out right But that's a phenomenon of being too connected If you weren't connected and you started a business, you didn't care about anything else going on around. You're just gonna do this thing." And we do it with this podcast. We don't really go out and worry about... Oh my God! Adam, we don't go to the conferences. We don't go to the conferences to find out what the latest trends are. We don't do any of that. We don't read podcasting news. No, no I subscribe to it but I find it hard to read.

12:06 So I don't even do anything. And there's no anxiety involved, that's left out of the picture. I think the social media in this regard is what caused the anxiety because it makes you... and you bitch about this constantly which is that people are presenting themselves not as they are but as some bogus... oh look at me! I'm so successful. Okay so let's just quickly turn that around. So the anxiety comes from I'm not as successful, in fact my millennial that I talked to from time to time here and now we're in Austin. My millennial! My millennia- MY MILLENNIAL! And she's woke. Stay woke. He stays woke

12:46 She had all kinds of psychological stuff going on and she was at UT her first year. And you know, she really went just fell into a hole of like holy shit I'm not the only top dog like I used to be and this is just a lot going on but all of her peers were all on social media showing how fabulous their college experience was the first year of their freshman year. And so she got anxious, actually anxious that you know doing it wrong or something and actually she gave up all social media and does not on it at all an is doing great which just proves your point Yeah! I think that's one element this poor girl who encouraged her boyfriend to kill himself we also discussed SSRIs

Cranky Geeks 2010, Social Networks, Communication Disease Vector

A 2010 clip from the program Cranky Geeks features a discussion on how social networks act as a disease vector in a population with no immunity. The hosts compare the addictive nature of Facebook and Twitter notifications to the dopamine hits of early email systems. They argue that these platforms have caused a societal dislocation by prioritizing interaction over calculation.

cranky geeks· facebook· twitter· neurotransmitters· communication disease

13:35 One of the problems with a lot of these drugs, not just those. It doesn't make you want to kill yourself but it makes it easier to kill yourself we've talked about this because it takes inhibitions away. I just want to interrupt before we go on with talking about the drugs and we have a couple more things to discuss. I wanna take us back before this show well no I think maybe we were doing that and we must have been doing the show Let me think. Yeah, 2010 of course we were doing the show I'm gonna take you back someone found this clip because it proves how we are both from the future This is on Cranky Geeks Remember that show? Yeah That was a pretty good show It was okay Yeah! I liked it, it was a good show And this is Cranky Geeks episode 219 From 2010 and You had written an article about this emerging trend

14:35 that was, you know we had two main players at the time Facebook and Twitter and You wrote an article about how this really was not a good thing. And I respond to it The computer is a communications disease talking about trashing things This is a column I wrote asserted in their recent calm that these days the machines are used more often to interact than they calculate this has caused a dislocation of society that may take years or decades I say to settle. It's like when a disease vector is introduced into a population with zero immunity and that's what happened with all these social networks and everything, we don't seem to have any way of controlling ourselves. So you have people on Facebook, oh my god! My friend just said something, look at somebody tweeting me

15:18 I gotta say something to them. Well the part of what is happening in anyone who has kids You've got one on the way very soon you are excluded well girlfriends or can we know? But John and I know it's it's like drugs, and then I think it affects that people's, not just kids obviously but you see it in kids so well. It affects your neurotransmitters the same way as like these quicksand of I got something oh i got something and then you have to keep going back because its exciting! You know when email electronic mail first came out like I got mail! AOL you've got mail this was exciting So this is just at the nth degree and its addictive How good are we? I want to spike that ball for a moment

15:59 That was on which Cranky Geeks? Was that the original Cranky Geeks? No, this was the pod show Cranky Geeks. Oh okay yeah but 2010 Yeah I think we were...yeah well we were on it pretty early and i think earlier than that that's only six years ago. Seven But the point is that it's a dangerous mechanism and it seems to be affecting kids because, and I think the anxiety angle which is the one that I express when you try to start a business. And you started looking at the competition, you get all anxious about it. This is just multiple...this is like exaggerated with this social media. So then they end up having to take, then that would gets them on the pills! The girl in this suicide story there was the one girl whose

Post-2012 Youth Trends, Driver Licenses, Car Culture Decline

An article in the Atlantic explores why American teenagers born around 2000 began losing interest in obtaining driver's licenses around 2012. This shift marks the end of traditional car culture as a symbol of freedom, replaced by digital connectivity via smartphones. While some demographics maintain an interest in modified vehicles, the general population of young people increasingly relies on parents or ride-sharing for transportation.

16:46 Apparently didn't kill herself and now she's a happy camper. It said she tried to kill herself by taking pills, a bunch of pills What pills? Yeah It wasn't aspirin or Tylenol I'm sure it was some drug that she already had prescribed for her or mom Yes And it was a trank of some sort Oh nice word, trank! I like that Trank It's a trank baby That's just a phrase from the shades Yeah, tranks an older one, they're trend There's a great article in the Atlantic that actually was the brain professor posted on the face bag. And although it is not very scientific, The author went through a lot of statistics and tried to figure out what exactly happened with this enormous change with children who were born about 13 years ago? Do they have a generational name yet?

17:37 I think there's still part of the young millennials. I don't know, yeah we'll have to ask someone. So around 2012 They stopped wanting to get driver's licenses, which is really a remarkable change in the United States where I mean here was the sequence of events. You want your freedom as a kid? Do you want your free? I want my freedom that how are you going to get your car that was it for us car How am I gonna get a car got to get a part time job all these things kind of cascaded into something. Yeah, I had a driver's license at 15 yeah gives a coming of age is very normal now First of all we have the the parents driving their kids everywhere because you know they might scrape their knee or you know my good school and there's like a line around the block of cars drop There are schools with valet parking so you can take your kid in and then your car comes back. That's crazy, and I

18:36 So instead of kids wanting the car so badly, and this is why I look at the Subaru ad and it's like you guys have got it all wrong. No, no, this is not... The kids don't want it. Now parents are nagging their children please get a license! This is a big change. This change took place a lot earlier than 13 years ago. I'm just telling you what the author says The author's off by a decade. Could be, anyway his whole point... And the whole car culture is dead there is no car culture anymore when you see a hot rod or some cool car of any sort I don't care if it's just a

19:19 Car you can get off this showroom lot if it's cool or just kind of car that you'd like I'd like Or anybody over 30 40 would like It's always an old fart driving it. You never see any kids when I was a when I was Guys who used to drive those types of cars had did do you know the palm made hairdos and then yes? Ducktails, and they were and they had names like Knickey Now, of course in the mission in San Francisco where you have a high Hispanic population yes you still have young people into a car culture. The cars are all jacked up they bounce around and it's actually quite funny but that is a minority in terms of the rest of the population Well something else happened around 2000 or two other things happened according to this article and the first is teens withdrew then would much rather be at home

CHAPTER 08 / 46 Discussion

Smartphone Saturation, Pharmaceutical Advertising, iPad Parenting

The saturation of iPhones and iPads in 2012 is debated as a primary cause for changes in adolescent behavior. While some argue the devices are used by parents to pacify children, others suggest the legalization of direct-to-consumer pharmaceutical advertising on television is a more significant societal turning point. The discussion questions whether the focus on Apple products in sociological studies is a form of brand promotion.

iphone· ipad· pharmaceutical ads· screen time· parenting

20:09 with their friends maybe, but they didn't seem to go out that much. And they really just not... like out until the streetlights come on Anyway The author boils this down to 2012 when iPhone ownership crossed 50% of whatever population I don't know what the hell his number is here and the transition to the iPad. And these kids, you know we have the millennials who grew up with that with a transition to the internet We have them who grew up with it but really this 13 year olds they don't know any different They think every screen is a touchscreen This went very fast! This went very very fast Yeah I would have to argue a couple of points

20:55 I will first of all, I think the guys dates are way off and it's got nothing to do with the iPhone. The phone itself is the problem and the kids had cell phones a lot of them were flip phones yes but they were still phones and they were on them all the time in text messaging is not that new The iPhone just made it worse, but the situation had already gone over the top long before 2007 when the iPhone came out. So this goes back a lot further than this show as a matter of fact and also what's the iPad got to do with it? That's not even a situational thing that would cause anything that changed societally. Well I think the point there is that parents

21:36 would just give the iPad to their kids to shut them up like here play with this and shut up. Yeah, that is a specious I think the phone is there was one of the kills but also think these drugs are huge problems. Oh yeah! I'm only on the drugs I am just giving some additional info. The drugs are clearly the problem It adds something but If you look at the date that they allowed TV advertising of drugs, I think that's a more interesting date than 2012 when there was a crossover point with just the iPhone. It sounds like a promotion for Apple. Now with that in mind, I picked up a drug commercial since we're on this topic today. Okay! I got some drug stuff too. This is a great show. We're off to happy land

CHAPTER 09 / 46 Discussion

HPV Vaccine, Gardasil, Pharmaceutical Marketing Tactics

A 30-second commercial for the HPV vaccine is analyzed for its use of parental guilt to drive medical decisions. By not naming the specific drug Gardasil, the manufacturer avoids the legal requirement to list side effects like Guillain-Barre syndrome. The advertisement focuses on the potential for future cancer diagnoses in children whose parents opt out of the vaccination.

hpv· gardasil· vaccine· pharmaceutical ads· cancer· marketing

22:20 Now let's go to the 30 second. I've seen a lot of commercials for drugs, but how many 30-second ones do you ever see? Almost none there are at least 90 seconds. You get 30 seconds of the benefit and 60 seconds of the side effects. Except with something like aspirin they'll do 30 seconds. Let's listen this 30 seconds... Excuse me when is the last time you saw an aspirin commercial series? I saw an aspirin ad recently Really! Oh man I have not seen it. I think they've seen a couple of, I'll give you a couple examples. You will remember this one strike a nerve the ad goes somebody's got a sore neck

22:57 And he's looking at me, he's on a plane or something and he wants ibuprofen for his soreness. I said, I got some aspirin. He said well i don't have a headache! And they say no aspirins good for these things too You remember that ad? That's been floating around for awhile. Anyway listen to the nasty... These people are SO... These drug companies They are SCUM Listen to this ad. I was infected with HPV Maybe my parents didn't know how widespread HPV is. While HPV clears up for most, that wasn't the case for me. Maybe they didn't know I would end up with cancer because of HPV. Maybe if they had known there was a vaccine to help protect me when I was 11 or 12... Wow! ...maybe my parents just didn't know." Alright mom? Dad?

23:47 What will you say don't wait talk to your child's doctor today learn more at HPV.com This is a bunch of scumbags damn, so no no disclaimers about Guillain-Barre and other this is I think they've I think they did by the way There's a girl's version of this commercial too Oh course which were there guilt tripping the parents and if any of the boys only get it through cunnilingus That's that they don't mention. I think I think they have found a loophole. Oh, that they don't have to do the disclaimer? Because they're not selling the drug! Oh shit let me listen to it again oh my god i didn't even realize this hold on let's listen...

24:34 Maybe my parents didn't know how widespread HPV is. While HPV clears up for most, that wasn't the case for me. Maybe they didn't know I would end up with cancer because of HPV. Maybe if they had known there was a vaccine to help protect me when I was 11 or 12 maybe my parents just didn't know. All right mom? Dad? Wow. I thought that the call to action... Well, maybe it was a talk to your child's doctor? I thought that was the call-to-action would be the legal part they removed but they have in there How different is this really

25:15 It's not about the drug. Yeah, they're not saying the drug that you write. They never mention a drug? Yep! They just say there is vaccine available and you should talk to your children about it And they have a website for more info. It's just generality. Wow! What a guy... They never mentioned Gardasil No That's what.. You know who thats behind it right? Behind Gardasil This is the most obscene commercial I've found ever Of course its Gardasil You have to if you just look at the stats and the effectiveness of this particular product. Oh, it's shit It's crap. But the way they run the guilt trip on the parents about their kids, getting them make sure that kids get saved from cancer and his poor boy is dying right in front of us because his parents were too stupid to get vaccinated. This is very good. And not able put any of the side effects nothing and they get the benefit of it being a 30 second commercial which is half the price. Bend over! Get out of the way just stop already.

Naloxone, Opioid Overdose, Baltimore Health Department

The Baltimore City Health Department and other agencies are promoting Naloxone as a critical tool to reverse opioid overdoses. Dr. Lena Wen appears in promotional materials framing addiction as a disease that requires immediate medical intervention. The discussion touches on the relationship between public health departments and the manufacturers of overdose-reversal medications.

Get to the pitch! "...than die from homicide..." Alright but I'll have to look at that another time. That's just gonna go on forever. Produced by the Baltimore City Health Department? Jeez So they're in bed with Naloxone Yes Hmm I wonder if they're planting false evidence on naloxone patients. It's a joke about Baltimore, Baltimore police been busted twice for planting drugs on people because when they turn their cam on they don't realize the cameras been streaming all along and it captures 30 seconds before they speak. It's unbelievable story but anyway it is different story to uh... I have one little tie-in into this which

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Vaccine Immunity, Mercury in Flu Shots

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. appears on Tucker Carlson's program to discuss the legal immunity granted to vaccine manufacturers by Congress in 1987. Kennedy highlights the dramatic increase in the childhood vaccination schedule and the continued presence of mercury in flu shots. He argues that the pharmaceutical industry's massive advertising spend prevents mainstream media from covering the risks associated with certain vaccine ingredients.

29:06 something we don't see very often, in fact he even mentioned that you don't see very often on television particularly when it comes to pharmaceuticals. Robert F Kennedy Jr., now this was one of those will do the interview because you're in town and will throw it in some other time type of deals, Tucker Carlson? And right, evergreen. Yeah and evergreen I don't think of ever heard Kennedy speak so clearly and eloquently about the main problems of vaccination which as we know is the complete immunity of the drug companies that's the main problem right there The complete immunity and he has some statistics that he shares in this clip

29:43 Which means you can't sue them if you die, although there is a fund and people are successfully suing for some money. Yeah, but you get some money out of the funds. What it it? The Vaccine Death Fund or something? Some government name like that. But also he had throat cancer I believe I don't remember, but he said that. Yeah well it's gotten really bad his speech so you have to focus a little bit but what he is saying is quite interesting And what you have to understand Is that the vaccine regimen changed dramatically around 1989 The reason it changed Tucker is at Congress drowning in pharmaceutical industry money Did something they've never done for any other industry They gave blanket legal immunity

30:29 all the vaccine companies so that no matter how sloppy the line protocol calls, no matter how absent quality control, no matter how toxic ingredient or egregious injury to your child you cannot sue them. So there's no depositions, there is no discovery, there is no class action suits All of a sudden, vaccines became enormously profitable. In 87 it was implemented and then there was a gold rush by the pharmaceutical industry to add new vaccines to the schedule So I got three vaccines and i'm 63 years old My children got 69 doses out of 16 vaccines to be compliant

31:11 And a lot of these vaccines aren't even for communicable, you know casually communicable diseases like hepatitis B which comes from unprotected sex or You know using sharing needles. Why do we give that to a child the first day of their life? and it was loaded with mercury and We do give that to children. We continue to give it to them The mercury has been taken out at three vaccines but it in this country, but it remains a flu vaccine. 48 million flu vaccines and it's in vaccines all over the world and it is the most potent neurotoxin known to man that is not radioactive how can we inject that into a child? If you take that vaccine vial and break it you have to dispose of that as hazardous waste. You have to evacuate the building

31:59 And I think, but I'm called anti-vax all the time because the pharmaceutical industry is so powerful. Both with the media they give 5.4 billion dollars a year to the media and they've gotten rid of the lawyers so there's no legal interest in those cases. And they really have been able to control the debate and silence people like me, I'm very grateful for you having the courage allow me on this show talk at the second show in ten years that allowed me to talk about this other one being Bill Maher which doesn't take advertising. Very succinct. It's the immunity, it's the mercury...

32:43 And it's and in the media 5.4 billion dollars an advertising media, and I and I recommend to Robert F Kennedy jr.. To stay out of hotel kitchens and Convertibles in Texas, and I think he's fine because he doesn't get on anything He says in 10 years has done two shows yeah, that's which one has no advertising That's really good. Yeah, what is though advertising? And let's really other one this will probably be his last time So yeah, yeah no this is you know You know and I also think just to wrap it up there. I'm pretty sure that a lot of mom I'm going to point to mom specifically then there are a lot of moms pass on the idea of Xanax to their kids, but things annexes isn't has not been helpful

NAACP Missouri Travel Advisory, Senate Bill 43, Discrimination Law

The NAACP issued a travel advisory for Missouri following the signing of Senate Bill 43 by Governor Eric Greitens. The organization labels the legislation a "Jim Crow bill" because it requires employees to prove discrimination was the "motivating factor" rather than just a "contributing factor" in their termination. Critics of the advisory argue it is a political stunt that misrepresents the safety of traveling through the state.

naacp· missouri· eric greitens· senate bill 43· jim crow· travel advisory

33:35 And you know, mommy why do you take all of them? There's a ton of these drugs. But Xanax in particular mommy Why are taking that yeah well it's A little anxious they got the word from somewhere This is this is what bugging me the most his where the how come the word anxious Why is that is that way is that perhaps that's the word you need to say to get the prescription That's possible I don't know yeah You're anxious your anxious you know go run around the block and I'll take care of you love your logic I gotta put their shoes on screw it. I'll just stick around and stay anxious now Just there was something What was it in somewhere? And oh, yeah kind of like the commercial for for Gardasil, but I'm sorry Don't get your HPV information

34:23 Tina came home the other day and she says, holy shit. You know one of her daughters is driving you know back Arkansas I can't remember exactly where she's driving from but she's gonna go through Missouri said I just heard the NAACP put out a warning for Missouri that discrimination is going on. They warn people of color, they warn travelers going through the state and she immediately is like texting she's like oh you know be careful lock the doors this what do you do? And I'm hey you know what happens with me I go beep beep beep then I smell bullshit so I have two examples of just some news just little news intros so you get the idea

35:08 The headline and then what's behind it is of course shameful. Here's just the headline. The NAACP has put out a new warning for people traveling to Missouri It advises extreme caution saying travelers could be subject to discrimination and harassment Okay, that's one example Beware of Missouri! That is what one civil rights group is saying by issuing a travel advisory But this isn't just meant for people outside our state Alright so you get the idea This is what she heard Like oh, she's going to Lebanon So the NAACP, at least this local chapter who called out this travel advisory. To me this is really scummy what and it's not just what they did but how the news media really colluded to bring this breaking news headline and pretty much all of them eventually get into what's really behind it which is a... It's political! It's completely political about a bill that was signed by the governor

36:08 State Bill number 43, which we'll talk about in a minute. And here is the guy from the NAACP. Attorney Nimrod Chappell Jr., is the president of the- I love his name as Nimrod that just kind of completes this- His name is Nimrod! Attorney Nimrod Chappell Jr. Is the president of the NAACP in Missouri He says a bill recently signed into law by Republican Governor Eric Greitens is so dangerous Chapel has a name for it the Jim Crow bill because in the eyes of the NAACP that's what it was breathing life into. Currently you can file a discrimination claim in the state of Missouri if things like race, religion and gender are contributing factors to discrimination

36:51 But later this month, alleged victims of discrimination would have to prove it is the motivating factor. And Chappell says that's extremely hard to do. You would think that the best evidence would be like a memo right? We discriminated against so and so because they are who they are Nobody writes memos, or when they do it's so rare. And then getting that kind of evidence can be very very difficult Now before we get into what is going on here again let me just remind you of the terrorism The terrorism that the media is bestowing amongst people The NAACP has put out a new warning for people traveling to Missouri It advises extreme caution saying travelers could be subject to discrimination and harassment I mean that is very far from what's going on

37:36 So that's just shoot. How are you subject, you're driving through whatever highway is going through there 80 I don't know and it goes through there and your subject to discrimination what does that mean? Get that gray car get it out of the way pull it over According to this state bill which I obviously read The way would work your traveling through Missouri You apply for a job And then you get a job And you have to, if you feel that you were fired because of discrimination which by the way I think NAACP is completely appropriating this. Whereas it's more likely that someone will be fired these days based upon gender at least if we believe the media reports so they're making all about Jim Crow which I think is... If your against a bill okay but really appropriating the bill It's a nice term

38:31 Then you would have to be fired and all this would happen while you're traveling through the state. So it's bullshit, and it's shameful! It's shameful... It really is. Yeah, there's probably hundreds of thousands of people that travel through the state from point A to point B daily and why should they be told this stuff? And I kind of like this bill because this is a huge problem for employers we've talked about this many times This bill says that if you're fired and you want to sue Because you believe you were fired based upon discrimination which is illegal You would have to prove that that is the motivating factor

CHAPTER 13 / 46 Discussion

Small Business Litigation, Employment Law, Corporate HR

The impact of discrimination laws on small and medium-sized businesses is discussed, with a focus on the difficulty of defending against lawsuits. While large corporations have dedicated HR departments and legal teams to handle such claims, smaller operations face significant financial risks. The new Missouri law is framed as a potential protection for employers against frivolous litigation.

employment law· discrimination suits· small business· hr· litigation

39:09 And I think there are many ways that you can prove that. And for this lawyer to say, no one writes a memo just look at everyone's email. There's tons of shit in email. Look at Hollywood emails making fun of black people remember that from the Sony? The top levels, so that would be very clear. Levels are worse than the guys down below. You've been in those meetings where you have these number of CEOs And they're all over the place, in all industries. But there's a lot of them in tech and they cuss constantly! They can't get a sentence out with having an F-bomb in it. It's unbelievable to try to listen to them. Yeah, it's some kind of alpha male power thing for some reason but I like this because it's big problem people are suing for discrimination left and right you can run a business anymore

40:06 Then I think it's reasonable. You have to show what was the motivating factor and not just that someone just... Well, you know what? I'm not a lawyer but it seems- No! If you can't run a business anymore, I think as an operator ...You can run a small business. You can have a three man operation or even have the NOAgenda show. Barely. I mean, you can have those businesses. You're not going to get sued for discrimination. You'd have to be of a certain size. And so I think it encourages small businesses. The big companies, they have... You can be a small company of two people, three people or your wife maybe you can be a monstrous company that's just a massive mega company because they have an entire staff of people to deal with these annoyances which is the way they see them HR-wise But you can't be in middle sized business No, you can't You can't be in a growing business

Brett Weinstein, Evergreen State College, Campus Protests

Biology professor Brett Weinstein is pursuing a $4 million lawsuit against Evergreen State College following racially charged protests on campus. Weinstein was targeted after refusing to participate in a "Day of Absence" where white faculty were encouraged to leave. He alleges the college failed to protect staff and fostered a hostile environment where protesters searched cars for him and barricaded administrators.

brett weinstein· evergreen state college· campus protests· free speech· lawsuits

41:00 You can't be in the middle. It's just you'll get killed. Yeah, well Missouri has changed that and the governor signed that into law and now Missouri is dangerous for travelers. You know it's just insanely insulting is what it is but if this had happened in California oh no where's Evergreen College? Washington State yes It might have been a little different as Professor Brett Weinstein is threatening to sue over the recent fracas. It's been surreal This has turned our lives absolutely upside down. Brett Weinstein teaches biology at the Evergreen State College, but this spring he was better known as that supposedly racist teacher He became the target of protests after criticizing proposed changes to college policies regarding race and refusing to leave campus on a day when white students and faculty members were encouraged to go elsewhere

41:55 He did end up holding classes off campus after those protests and a conversation with the college's police chief. She said, are you on campus? I said no she said please don't come to campus And I said, what's going on? And she said protesters are searching car to car looking for an individual and we believe it's you. That was obviously a very alarming call to receive. Weinstein has informed the state he and his wife who also teaches at Evergreen may sue for nearly $4 million in damage. Weinstein says the college fosters a racially hostile work and retaliatory environment, and the protests showed the school failed to set or enforce any boundaries for protest. It became very clearly criminal at the point that they were barricading

42:46 administrators in the president's office and controlling their movements and stalking people on the campus openly. Weinstein fears the protests and problems will come right back with students in the fall as for he and his wife, he hopes this possible legal action will bring about changes to Evergreen we would love to return We cannot return if the college is not made safe, and it has to be made safe for people to express points of view that are at odds with the conventional wisdom of the moment. I think this will be an interesting test of the tort This is not going to work out Tell me These

University Math Requirements, Remedial Courses, Graduation Rates

California State University is phasing out math and English placement exams and mandatory remedial courses to improve graduation rates. Critics argue that lowering standards to ensure more students graduate devalues the degree and leaves students unprepared for the workforce. The discussion suggests that failing to provide a rigorous education could lead to future lawsuits against universities by graduates who cannot find employment.

purdue university· california state university· math· remedial education· graduation rates

43:30 Educators, the guys who are running these colleges and it's not just Evergreen. There is other schools I mean Yale is a good example Harvard is a good example Cal Berkeley somewhat of an example Occidental College is a good example which has got an interesting twist to it These guy haven't got the nerve they haven't got the guts to expel students In fact, the whole situation's gotten so out of control that the dean at Purdue University, the Dean of Engineering is now wanting them to back off somewhat on making people take math.

44:05 In the engineering department. Here's a clip, here is a clip this is the CSU yeah the Purdue thing you can look it up. Here's a clip CSU reading and math as being phased down. California State University 23 campuses are getting rid of math and English placement exams for incoming freshmen instead of the exam schools will look at students SAT and ACT scores along with with high school grades to decide on course placement. Administrators say those sources are a better measure of students' abilities. CSU is also ending mandatory remedial courses that some students have complained delayed their coursework. These changes are part of the plan that's aimed at increasing graduation rates, currently only 20% of CSU students graduate within four years." You know what's next? Math is racist man!

44:52 Yeah, I can see that. You're joking but i can see it actually happening! I'm not really joking. So they're dropping the math and they're dropping any English to that and they want more people to graduate what this is going there's two or three problems here one there's 20 percent graduation rate they wanted to go up yeah of course main problem we're gonna run into is the precedent that is being set in the private schools many of which have already gone under where where they sue the school for not giving them the education they promised. Or the job, the job they promised? Yeah well the jobs but also you could do on the same basis of the education if you're gonna get a... If you're gonna walk out and in that report they mentioned that they're going to cancel remedial courses at the University of California I had to take a remedial course either take what they called back there was English A or English 1 or something like that it was called

45:46 amongst the regulars, it was called bonehead English because they determined my high school education didn't teach me English very well and I needed to take this simple course on how to write. And about half the students had to take this course because the high schools weren't serving the public well and that's just worsened since then i'm sure which is you know 100 years ago but They're gonna drop the bonehead English, you're gonna drop bonehead math so do you know how to use a calculator? Yeah I do. Okay you're good to go. So you end up with a situation where they're going to graduate people who are now going to start suing the schools

46:38 after they're out because the schools didn't give them a... can't read English and that the taxpayers are gonna have to pick up this tab. This is California State University. You know what's going to become of those kids? They're gonna become podcasters! I wonder what joke you're gonna come up with there, Rick. And we'll be able turn the dial. Dial, dial, dial! What's a dial?! It's a slider. It is bad, it so bad. So this is completely out of control and again going back to Evergreen they won't if they expelled imagine yourself in todays being a student today it's a pain the ass to get into these schools you gotta pay a fortune to do it and you get expelled and you have to go home and live with your mom yeah this is not gonna go over it the parents would finally maybe do something about this they'd be making a fuss but expel these kids

47:32 Yeah, that used to be a thing. You're gonna be like oh he was expelled Oh shit don't want that you want that on your record remember that if you have a record these days actually do have a record. You wanna get expelled? He's expelled from school So all those evergreen kids should have been expelled. You know, here's a question I need some research on this so let's say your amygdala is enlarged your frontal cortex is not communicating properly Then you're mad as hell you're not gonna take it anymore throw some SSRIs into the mix then what happens? What happens when you when you get all pissed off and you're on that stuff? I don't know It's not good. I don't think so

NPR, Washington Post, Trump-Mexico Transcript Leak

NPR and The Washington Post are criticized for their framing of leaked transcripts from a phone call between President Trump and Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto. While media reports suggested Trump called the border wall "the least important thing," the full transcript shows he was referring to the political optics of who pays for the wall, not the wall's necessity. The segment highlights how selective quoting can alter the perceived meaning of diplomatic conversations.

npr· washington post· donald trump· enrique peña nieto· border wall· media bias

48:17 That's what's going on. Yeah Okay, so we're gonna roll here yeah well I got a deconstruction any more negative stuff to do the master listeners I have no I do have a I Do have one? I gotta clip. I gotta hear Alex Jones ISO you gonna depress everyone is I So yes these are pigs Wait a minute wait a minute there's a combo here There's a combo let me see if I can do this combo where I'm on remote so it's always a little harder to grab everything. These are pigs! It's clear to me, and I just think the American people... Nah nah nah shit. I messed it up this is what I wanted okay Maybe it goes like this This is a bunch of scumbags these are pigs there you go There's a combo yeah in there all right that this is a deconstruction that but think you'll enjoy its for NPR who our scumbags

49:16 Because they lie, blatant, blatant lie. We had these transcripts come out. No one's really... The president's transcripts of Pena Nieto and who was the guy in Australia? An Aussie dude So these transcripts are now published and again it's a story But listen to the lead in of NPR about to talk to the, uh, of course WAPO, WAPO, WAPO journalist. Yeah he's the WAPO. Of course it's the WAPO Listen to the intro and tell me what's wrong. Soon after President Trump took office, he had phone calls with world leaders that made headlines Now The Washington Post has obtained transcripts of a couple of those calls One is with Mexico's president Trump describes the border wall He campaigned on as quote the least important thing we are talking about but politically this might be the most important

50:11 So what did he say at the end there that he was discussing with the Mexican president? Yes, most important. I was confused by what he said. Let's listen one more time. Don as quote the least important let me back it up just a little bit just so you hear Precisely in context. ...on as quote, the least important thing we are talking about but politically... Shit I'm sorry i need to back it up even more otherwise It's not in context here We go has obtained transcripts of a couple of those calls one is with Mexico's president Trump describes the border wall he campaigned on as quote The least important thing we are talking about but politically this might be the most important Okay so apparently President trump said to president Pena Nieto

50:50 that the border wall is the least important thing we are talking about. Okay? That's how it's set up here, by NPR your national public radio Let me read you the transcript Yeah, I know exactly where you're going because that's a lie. It's a big fat lie! We cannot say that anymore because if you're going to say Mexico is not going to pay for the wall then i do no want to meet with you guys anymore because i can't live with that. I'm willing to say we will work it out but that means it will come out in the wash and thats okay But you cannot say anymore that United States is going to pay for the wall im just gonna say that were working on it

51:27 Believe it or not, this is the least important thing that we are talking about politically. This might be the most important we talk about but in terms of dollars or pesos... I could just hear him say that! But you know in terms of dollars or pesos It's the least important thing. I know how to build now on and on and on So what the least important thing was Was who's going to pay for it? Not The Wall And now again, just for those of you who cannot believe the lies I'm going to play you that intro. Trump had phone calls with world leaders that made headlines Now The Washington Post has obtained transcripts of a couple of those calls One is with Mexico's president Trump describes the border wall he campaigned on as quote the least important thing we are talking about but politically this might be the most important lie Just a lie

Mission Control Restoration, Media Editing, Failure Is Not An Option

An example of media manipulation is demonstrated using a clip about the restoration of Apollo's Mission Control. By cutting the audio before the famous phrase "failure is not an option," the meaning of the segment is inverted to suggest the room represents American failure. This serves as a technical demonstration of how news organizations can misrepresent subjects through selective editing.

mission control· nasa· gene krantz· media manipulation· apollo program

52:17 Well, he said the words least important. Didn't he? Those words least important were in there! Yeah you could have stuck that to anything like the peso He finds the peso is the least important thing Well that's funny You have a clip like that because I have a clip which is not about this when you finish this up I want to play it I'm done go move and show you exactly how I can do the same thing Let's do it Okay, well this is I got there's a couple of clips and one is brand about mission control and then rant about mission control fixed. I want you to play the long clip which is rant about mission control and see where I've pulled at WAPO NPR and I've manipulated the clip without editing it! You've done production

53:03 But I didn't edit it. Oh, okay! I'm ready. We're gonna have to see how this works. Play it. Apollo's mission control has decayed from neglect and souvenir seekers who took pieces of space history. When you look at the condition of the room today, what goes through your mind? It is a combination of frustration anger resentment this is not appropriate this is where our generation made history This is where Apollo

53:44 fulfilled the challenge issued by President Kennedy. Space Center Houston hopes to raise five million dollars to restore the room to its 1960s glory this is a room that will now represent the best America had to offer failure okay So this was a mission control room there, and it had... It was gonna represent. And if you play that clip and listen to it the best America has to offer is failure! Yeah because the thing is a piece of crap. Yeah well that's actually not the way that clip really ended. Ahhhh

54:21 So now you can see, now I'm gonna play... Now that could have been a presentation and I could have left it in there and nobody would go oh yeah that's what you thought was a piece of crap. Can I hear the ending again? Of the original? Yeah! ...to raise five million dollars to restore The Room to its 1960s glory This is A Room That Will Now Represent The Best America Had To Offer Failure. Failure Yeah, okay. It's a standalone it works yeah and this is what the media can do and they do it all the time but let's play what really happened at the end of that clip The best America had to offer failure is not an option. Krantz is part of one more mission Wow good one good one

55:13 Yeah, there's not an option failure is not an option and that's what's going That's what we have to deal with constantly when we're doing this show Because they're doing that to us. And that's what you just did with the NPR guy Only he talked it out but he misrepresented He misrepresented the facts did he did yeah? And then yeah, that's our national treasure by the way National Treasure Yeah, what happens on our show too people are always editing stuff together to make something out of you know something that didn't happen. Yes but it's funny I have an example here this was an edit by Kevin Reeves who was a very accomplished musician Get out of my juicy vagina! I mean seriously i mean that did not happen that way

The hosts discuss a technical failure in their RSS feed caused by including a registered trademark symbol in the show title "iChip®". The special character caused the feed to choke on various platforms, including Apple's podcast app and internal bots. This incident leads to a broader discussion on how minor coding oversights in modern technology can cause significant distribution issues.

55:57 Get out of my juice. Oh, my God Kevin is bored Got nothing better to do I've got an idea What is it you want to do now? You're always fooling around in this studio Hey with that I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you John Cee And the C stands for climax may be difficult Dvorak Well in the morning you Mr. Adam Curry also In the morning all ships and sea boots on the ground, feet in the air subs in the water. All the dames and knights out there. Yo! In the morning to the chat room noagendastream.com Appreciate y'all being there have been helpful handing me some good info this morning And I also want to thank besides all of our artists who diligently upload fantastic artwork to noagendaartgenerator.com Want to thank Mark G for his artwork for episode 9 or 5 2 The Eye Chip with a registered trademark

56:56 Which we have to talk about that in a second. It was great. We'll talk about that in the minute. Did you put it on the list? I did, I put it on the list! Yeah, it was good enough for The List. So Mark G did a great piece of artwork an original piece The abstract with the White House depicted as a dump under power lines, with big smokestack behind it. We got some refrigerators in front yard and a pickup truck with no axle... Yeah, it was good. Very funny. Nailed it!

57:55 And, you know so we came up with the name iChip with a registered trademark symbol which is option R on my keyboard. So I published the RSS feed and it's not showing up in the podcast app! What is going on? Now this inexperienced podcaster who has not been around could have been working on this problem for hours But, your guardian's a reality. And in this case tech guru John C. Dvorak called it. Yeah and you thought I was maybe joking? You want to explain? Yeah I said that it's not going through because you put our trademark thing in there and its choking on it! Yep exactly no double-binding coding for you

58:47 Filing, and then you went use first year. You said that can't be it That's idiotic if that's if you said yes And then I said I betcha that's it and ice and I did not and then you went on a tirade About how crazy when I was tired you just went crazy about how this is so stupid Very funny would've been good for the show. I might have it still in the It's pretty sad pretty sad as what it is Alright, let's thank some people. What's really sad from our perspective is actually funnier with the I chip with a little R on the corner there and it doesn't work as show title yeah And that show title doesn't work on Apple stuff That's great Yeah and you have to also assume that this small TM wouldn't work either Doubtful doubtful so

59:39 Oh, it also made to the world of technology. It made a lot of things choke actually I see the chat room that The Doug our bot he choked on it He couldn't deal with it sad man How long we've been doing this? We've only had this stuff going on for the last 35 years This is a column. I'm telling you this is a column I need more examples. Okay, people can send me some examples of this little choking on minor things that should work and they don't work? By the way- I'll compile them and make a column out of it sure.

Vintage Armagnac, 1952 Spirits, Hangover Science

A discussion about high-end spirits focuses on a 1952 vintage Armagnac consumed at a recent party. The hosts explain that pure distillation in French products often results in fewer hangovers because they lack "fusel oils"—impurities like butyl and propyl alcohol found in lower-quality spirits. The conversation covers the social and physical effects of aged brandy compared to other alcohols like scotch.

1:00:29 9 or 5 3 9 5 3 um now we have to thank people just a few people from the last show that because we did there was A day missing from the download yeah, so we're gonna incorporate them into this show and give them their credit on this show Do you ever could do you have a combined sheet because I haven't said I do not have a combine Sheet. I have two sheets And I'm gonna read from one then go to the other your two sheets of the wind I'm two sheets to the wind, which you were last night. I'm sure uh-huh. I'm still hammering three sheets of the wind I had at least five glasses We're like well that's a Gucci bag and my glasses of arming yacht Yeah, holy mackerel somebody had should have brought their camera out That should've been pretty fun. That's the photo of me in the medicated Pete right with our ears

1:01:16 I'm going to mention this. This is a kid, there's a medicated Pete's bottle? No but no he didn't send me a picture of the bottom. Yeah okay. He sent me Adam sent me a picture of the bar look at it so ah vintage Armagnac vintage Armagnac which is could be any amount of years old it's usually bottled around 30 and then from then on doesn't really improve much but it's it is from wherever it was from when this was in 1953 So this was a Ritzy product 52 It was from 1952. But they're all... The thing about vintage Armagnacs for people who like to have a glass of whiskey at the end of the meal or during the day, this stuff is always and generally speaking I would say that people who drink cognac and Armagnac will agree with this. A good vintage Armagnac which most of them are

1:02:06 It's hard to stop drinking. Yes, I agree! Very hard to stop drinking and i don't recommend them for people who can't drink because if you open a bottle of especially something like a 52 and start drinking it you will drink the whole bottle uh-huh If you're by yourself probably not But you might, but if you're with somebody else and you're talking and Arminiac and Cognac tend to make it talkative without being belligerent. Belligerent products are more like scotch. Scotch can make you belittling. Wait a minute now just this is just a question does this also have a romantic effect or can this be used to get a chick?

1:02:52 The romantic effect of Arminiak and Cognac I think is there, but I think it's because of the alcohol being so pure. And uh...I'm not sure that there's any magic to it. There might be! It won't hurt. So anyways you better sit down prepare yourself for a long conversation and plow through the bottle The joke of it is you don't get sick the next day because these products from France are so well made. Pure, yeah pure. You don't feel sick at all? No hangover? No because the hangover tends to come from two things dehydration so people should drink a lot of water before they go to bed and then there's real problem that gives you nasty nasty headaches. It's Red Bull

1:03:45 The Red Bull would do it. But the nasty headaches and alcohols come from what's called fusel oil, And fusel oil is a product of distillation that is not the pure cut of ethanol. You got butyl alcohol and propyl alcohols, all kinds of crazy alcohol that get into the product and your body cannot digest these things very well and you get sick period. My buddy Jack he also gets them from someone sends them to him from London with his name on the label Yeah, yeah. It's like 1500 bucks or something it's crazy expensive that's pretty expensive as up there I you can get the same quality well It's I'm telling you I drank a Gucci show off its total show-off material. I drank a Gucci bag last night Yeah, it's what you did

Executive Producer Credits, Knighting Ceremony, Value-for-Value

The program acknowledges high-tier donors through the "value-for-value" model, including a $1,000 contribution from Michael Hochberg in memory of his father. Other significant donors include James Brogden and David Roberts. The segment includes the formal knighting of new producers and a discussion of the show's financial model, which relies entirely on listener support rather than pharmaceutical advertising.

CHAPTER 21 / 46 Discussion

Al Gore, Bill Maher, Climate Crisis, Miami Flooding

Al Gore appears on Bill Maher's show to promote his new film, "An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power." Gore discusses the "tipping point" of climate change, claiming that while some points of no return have been passed, catastrophic consequences can still be avoided. He cites fish swimming in the streets of Miami as evidence of sea-level rise, though he later acknowledges recent flooding was also due to heavy rainfall and poor drainage.

al gore· bill maher· climate change· miami· sea level rise· an inconvenient sequel

1:10:08 The party didn't go on that late last night. I caught Al Gore on Bill Maher, and he was also doing the rounds of the morning shows... you know the cable shows And I found this interview to be very enlightening for a number of reasons. Yes, very enlightening! He is of course the high priestess of the climate crisis make no mistake it's now the climate crisis and something else came to me as I was thinking...I was watching this and this is the opening and did you see by any chance John? I missed it ah well you missed a good one but you don't have to watch it because I've condensed the opening 10-minute interview down to three about two four doable clips

1:10:52 And he obviously has his movie, An Inconvenient Truth Out. The sequel I should say and he has a book to go along with it. It's quite nice little marketing marketing deal. He knows what he's doing, in more ways than one but he also reinforces everything these social justice warriors need to hear. He is very good at it and let us listen to clip 1. Well it has passed 10 years your first movie came out 2006 similar kind of predictions

1:11:32 Um, are we kidding ourselves about the tipping point? Are we- Now this was interesting to me. This was the first question and I guarantee you that this was agreed to, set up. Maybe even the wording was agreed to because that is the number one criticism and they'll discuss three The number one criticism of climate change now the climate crisis is well you promised us all these tipping points and we're all going to be dead within 10 years And so that's what supposed to happen here So right after me okay stop I'm 100% on this

1:12:09 There's lots of evidence that Gore is using old shill tricks in all the shows that he does. He'll bring somebody on who I think you spotted one of them where he had an audience and some kid asked a question, the kid was set up... He was put in the audience for the purpose of doing these questions. There's no doubt now that you mention it that this was Mars first question and it was planned. Yes, completely planned planted and obviously Gore is masterful at moving very slowly but then accelerating moving away from the question how come we were all supposed to be dead? And he will confuse you and use old school tricks and you will explain them to us no doubt well it's past 10 years your first movie came out in 2006 similar kind of predictions

1:13:00 Are we kidding ourselves about the tipping point? Are we moving the tipping point? Well, people mean different things by the phrase. The most important meaning is have we crossed a point of no return where this thing spins out of control and the scientists still tell us No! We have not gotten to that point. What?! Have you heard this? No. All I've heard is the point of no return is tomorrow. Exactly! So that's the first switch there, as long as the scientists say it's okay you know Al Gore has weekly meetings maybe daily with The Scientists and so the scientists say don't worry about it Don't Worry Be Happy. We can still avoid the most catastrophic consequences if we start acting boldly

1:13:52 And we have begun to start. But some tipping points have unfortunately been passed, I'll give you an example a very large part of the West Antarctic ice sheet just years ago they said okay That's crossed the tipping point. It is now going to be gone no matter what we do and that actually hit me pretty hard when that news came out because it... And we're already gone, now we're already done with the tipping points We've already moved on to the next disaster in the crisis which is this sheet of ice I thought there was more ice than ever in the Antarctic Well yeah maybe but still

1:14:34 There's a sheet there, it's gonna raise the tides for all that three feet. And here we go! That actually hit me pretty hard when that news came out because it does mean that there is going to be considerable sea level rise no matter what we do but we still have the ability to control the pace of disappearance and sea level rise... Buy now while stocks last We still have the ability to stop other ice sheets behind it from crossing. Now there's some other tipping points that are kind of uncertain we're taking huge dangerous risks now that we should not be taken

1:15:13 So when the sea levels rise... That sounds like a biblical prophecy. So when the sea levels ride, you better build yourself an ark Bill Maher He says it with such assurity Yes! No it's religion John this is fucking religion Here we go listen to this again It's behind it from crossing Now there are some other tipping points that are kind of uncertain We're taking huge dangerous risks now that should not be taken So when the sea levels rise... I can't get enough of that. When the sea levels rise, may I be with you in your mansion Al Gore? Obviously we could lose like Venice We could los- Oh by the way hold on By the way As a part of this setup This whole thing with this first question There was a written joke

1:16:07 The payload built right into it. And I have to say these two gentlemen executed the joke beautifully Is it coming? Right now Venice, we could lose Florida Yeah just- and who would know better about losing Florida Come on that was well executed They knew that That was good That was very good Actually, I think I carried Florida. That's right. Okay. Woo! Wooo! I carried Florida! There are a lot of coastal cities that are gonna face real danger and I went to Miami in the making of this movie. I saw fish from the ocean swimming in the streets just because it was high tide

CHAPTER 22 / 46 Discussion

Miami Live Cams, Galveston Hurricanes, Climate Alarmism

The hosts investigate claims of routine flooding in Miami by checking live city cameras, finding clear streets despite reports of a "climate crisis." They also critique Al Gore's mention of Galveston, Texas, noting that the city has a long history of hurricanes and floods that predate modern climate concerns. The discussion frames these environmental warnings as a form of secular religion used for political and financial gain.

miami beach· galveston· hurricanes· live cams· climate crisis

1:17:04 I have to mention this little tidbit. We do have a lot of people that listen to our show, tolerate our skepticism about the global crisis. Climate, climate crisis. Whatever it is. They tolerate it and still listen to the show for other reasons but I'm surprised they still listened. And every once in a while someone tweets me saying he's moaning and groaning we got a big storm coming in flooding everywhere! He goes on...and so I think really?

1:17:41 And so I went and looked up live cams in Miami. And there's a Miami beach which is right down the water. Did you meet any interesting women when you did that search? No, it was live like the city cams. Oh CityCams okay there weren't any live Chick cams anyway so I found but I found a really good one on top of some bank somewhere and it's got a shot of the water A shot of that busy street on Miami Beach that one if you ever been in Miami Beach There's all like a loop around thing where the Cleveland or hotel is and all this and you drive up And these all these crazy old hotels, and it was a beautiful shot

1:18:23 And I said, really? Lighting in the streets and I linked to the cam. Yeah. And it was live cam so it streams on Twitter and that was the end of that conversation Well, this is like there's so much nonsense. What we know about the streets of Miami is because of the drainage you know they have trees that never had their before and the water can't go away I get to feeling why are there even a Is there a hunger crisis? Because I would recommend people go to Miami it's got good weather and there's free fish on the streets. But listen, it gets better because listen to what Gore says and he contradicts himself right after the fish comment. He contradicts the entire premise

1:19:14 So I'm gonna back it up a little bit. I'm sorry my backups are a little broad today. ...cities that are gonna face a real danger and... I went to Miami in the making of this movie, I saw fish from the ocean swimming in the streets just because it was high tide And by the way this week they had more than six inches of rain in two hours and it flooded again for a different reason. He caught himself! Oops So if is it flooding because of the the water the sea level rise Al Gore or is it because the drainage sucks? Because the same thing happens when it rains he caught himself This is completely stupid listen again for a different Reason connected to climate cry. Oh, but it's connected to the climate crisis because rain yeah this guy I'm sorry wasn't for the climate crisis there'd be no rain and notice He says climate crisis Yeah

1:20:09 So yeah, so he's on it this guy knows how to make money. He's making a lot more money than we are in this podcast Why do you have to go rub it in? I don't know if that's true, but we have enough military personnel who will tell us. Yeah, but listen to this... The world is going to have to be moved because of sea level rise. Galveston, you can go down the list but... Galveston! Galveston Texas You know the site of one of the worst hurricanes or tornadoes I should say Tornado's in Texas ever Or was it a hurricane off the coast? It was a hurricane Yeah

CHAPTER 23 / 46 Discussion

China Solar Energy, India Electric Vehicles, Green Jobs

Al Gore claims that China and India are making significant strides in renewable energy, with India aiming for 100% electric vehicles within 13 years. The hosts remain skeptical, suggesting China's shift away from coal is driven by local smog issues rather than global climate concerns. They also mock the statistic that wind turbine technician is the fastest-growing job, suggesting it is because the machines require constant repair.

china· india· solar energy· electric vehicles· wind turbines· green jobs

1:20:57 You know, and it happened again. And this is inclement weather that hits Galveston Texas there's monuments all across Galveston you know of the great flood But they're gonna move Galveston is that what he said? Yeah moving the base not Galveston they're moving the base Well yeah because in a hurricane path The big danger is for poor people in places like Bangladesh and Kolkata Oh here we go It's all about those people He'll come back to this Okay, now we go to clip number two where we're going to talk about the three things that the Republicans always carp about and harp on regarding climate change and why they're wrong.

1:21:40 Then again, watch for Tricky Al. China isn't doing anything, true or false? More or less true but not completely. Well what are they doing then? I mean they're backing off a little bit because of their...but not because the climate change because of the smog they're creating for themselves and that public is getting sick of it. Sure, China is implementing a cap-and-trade program right now closing hundreds of coal burning plants

1:22:33 building more solar farms than anybody else. That's not cap and trade, I don't believe the cap and trade...I think he is lying about that. I need to look into it Who are they capping and trading with? Yeah exactly! They're not capping it, you're right they are closing down the coal plants because of the pollution Yeah, if they were located some other spot just where it was polluting Korea I'd be fine with that. But then... North Korea specifically but then... But then... Listen... ...body else by far India by the way has done a U-turn since the Paris Agreement and their moving swiftly You personally negotiated that? Well there are lot of people, lots of people did Now this is under dispute

1:23:16 But what happens in the movie, I have not seen it. Is that he shills with Solar City... You know the musk- the Empire to basically give the deal that given everybody else or so we'll give you this huge free mega battery if you let us open a plant or some crap like that. And it's a Kleiner Perkins investment where Gore is a senior partner, so stop OK, just stop already did a deal yeah this but its disputed people like even the Indians like Al Gore did nothing Kind of like that. But the solar part of it, right? Yeah I was happy to be asked... He's cagey about it now too. ...by Christiana Figueres and other leaders of that conference and I like to think it did some good but India just announced that within only 13 years 100% of all their new cars and trucks are gonna have to be electric vehicles That's more than we're doing on the transportation side. That's all about control

1:24:19 Now, as for jobs solar jobs are now growing 17 times faster than other jobs in the economy. The single fastest-growing job is wind turbine technician because they're breaking all the time! The fastest hiring job is fixing these things. Turbine technician. Let me back it up a little more The best. You gotta ISO that, that's a good ISO Not for today but i will ISO it yes. Fastest growing job is wind turbine technician the real bright spot for creating jobs in higher wages is in renewable energy and the sustainability solutions we ought to be investing in that to put more people to work Oh yeah solutions, solutions I tell you Alright let's move on to the Paris Accord this was very entertaining segment

CHAPTER 24 / 46 Discussion

Paris Accord, States' Rights, Jerry Brown, Andrew Cuomo

Following President Trump's withdrawal from the Paris Accord, governors like Jerry Brown of California and Andrew Cuomo of New York pledged to meet the agreement's goals independently. Al Gore praises this move as an "equal and opposite reaction" to Trump's policy. The hosts note the irony of Democrats suddenly championing "states' rights" to bypass federal decisions on environmental policy.

paris accord· donald trump· jerry brown· andrew cuomo· states' rights

1:25:14 both from the former vice president as well as our host. Trump wants to pull out of the Paris Accord, something which you know I always say that kind of people who would negotiate the Paris Accord these are the people who should get the medals because it just cannot be easy they deserve a medal! Dooshbag Medal? What kinda medal is he talking about?! Yeah, exactly. Let's just give them all a medal! Just for participating... yeah it's really fantastic to get 190 countries or whatever it is same with Kyoto which you were very involved in the 90s on the same day Mind you it's really easy for these hundreds of countries to come together Did he say hundreds? I hope he didn't say hundreds let me just listen to that Whatever it is same with Kyoto back up a little more and lets listen to that

1:26:05 People who should get the medals. Because it just cannot be easy to get a hundred and ninety countries or whatever is saying with Kyoto, which you... A hundred and ninety countries is quite a lot. It's not hard because all you're doing is saying hello 189 countries would you like some money? Well here's the last of the 190 and they're gonna give that to you wasn't that hard You don't deserve a medal. Yes, I did and I talked to the then president-elect and that conversation continued after he went into the White House. And I thought actually there was a chance he might come to his senses but i was wrong

1:26:57 And then when he made his speech pulling out of Paris, I really was concerned that some other countries might use that as an excuse to pull out themselves. But the very next day the entire rest of the world redoubled their commitment to the Paris Agreement. Almost had a salutary effect. Salutary! It did, you know in politics there's a law that comes out of physics that sometimes works for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction? Right. And it happened here in this country Pay attention to that pay attention to what he's saying here this is very important There's a law that comes out of physics that sometimes works for every action there's an equal and opposite reaction

1:27:42 And it happened here in this country. Jerry Brown in California, Andrew Cuomo in New York... Other governors and mayors, business leaders stepped up to fill the gap and said we're going to meet the commitments under the Paris Agreement regardless of what Donald Trump does looks like the country is gonna do that I'm all for states rights Now he's all for states rights. Now when did this happen? Collects it! That's when it happened Now, now I... it hit me maybe it's- maybe I'm crazy? I don't know. But then they went into the final bit Which was about politics and about elections and big confirmation bias Or just confirmation in general what a lot of people are feeling in the United States these days Let me ask you about this you say And I think you're absolutely right about this that we have to if we're gonna fix climate. We have to fix our democracy Yeah, I love this. We were Republic Bill Maher. We're not a democracy I don't know if he means it differently but I

CHAPTER 25 / 46 Discussion

Republic vs. Democracy, Trailmobile Anecdote, Bureaucratic Power

A distinction is made between a pure democracy and a constitutional republic, with the latter designed to prevent the "tyranny of the majority." An anecdote about working as an inspector at Trailmobile illustrates how individuals within a system can use bureaucratic rules to exert power or protect themselves. The story emphasizes the importance of "covering your ass" through memos and documentation in any organized labor or government setting.

republic· democracy· electoral college· trailmobile· inspection· bureaucracy

1:28:43 It disturbs me when people do that. It's very bothersome that people keep calling us a democracy because we're not, we are a democratic... The left always says that, we're all a democracy, democracy, democracy but now the republic is a huge difference. Yes. And it's not just minor difference is a huge difference! Would you explain it for a moment? Yeah, democracy is where everybody has an equal vote and everything is voted on. And the drawbacks to a democracy are that you can have tyranny of the majority so you have 51% people all want everyone to walk around naked and by law you have to if you don't want too bad. I'm all for this democracy thing! This sounds great

1:29:26 Well, they could also require you to wear lead weights. You know? And you're nuts! Would you like it then?! Once a week maybe? We don't have that we have a representative democracy in the form of a republic and the Republicans divides up powers and waters them down to an extreme so you don't have this tyranny issue that keeps cropping up with democracies, and monarchies for that matter. So it really exists somewhere in between. And the great thing about it is, to me—and I keep saying this to people who've never worked in government they don't realize how important it is—I think if you have a do-nothing

1:30:10 Congress or do-nothing president or a do nothing agency, that's the best thing you can have. Because you actually don't want them doing anything if the idea is to encourage do nothingism and because you get into trouble When you start to do stuff, I'm always reminded of the... Well, I have plenty of stories about it. I remember the time when I was an inspector at the Trailmobile facility. I think I've told this story. No! Trailmobile? What is a trail mobile? Trail mobiles they make trailers And they were, this was in the early days of the cargo container. I would have remembered if you knew about trailers! This is a new story... New Screed! So i am an inspector, im a line inspector and i have a certain responsibility to a certain part of the line not the final inspector there's another guy further on but i inspect these things as they come through

1:31:04 Most of the time I spent with this one guy that was on the, he was actually in a different line than I worked on but he was an riveter and he was a great tale teller. He was a guy that would tell jokes, had little magic tricks...I just loved this guy because he's funny! Is he dead? And so I would spend time over there yakking with him and the foreman over there was just obnoxious jerk comes over and he also is, he was the foreman of the workers on the line I was inspecting but he was the foreman this particular guy. And he says...and he chews us out for wasting time! He says, we shouldn't be over here. He wasn't my supervisor so you couldn't really do much and did just kind of chew at his guy but he basically kicked me out of the area

1:31:56 Wow. And so I said to myself, and this happens in government work a lot...I know for a fact because i've worked at it So go back to my line and there was an anomaly on the trailers that were going through They were made out of fiberglass and they were done for Pacific something lines P-O, Pacific and Orient and they were all fiberglass and the roofs of the fiberglass always sagged The roof sagged and... And so you could reject every each and every one of them. And then there was all these other little things, and one of the things we had this piece of red tape and put red tape all over the thing where it needed fixing if you were inspecting it. This guy's stuff would come through from his line, and I would just read taped a hell out of it. It wasn't like these were not flawless. These are legitimate complaints. So I would spend all my time red-tape. So this thing looked like it was a ball of

1:32:56 There's so much to do on these things. And that's because I was doing my job to an extreme, the guy this foreman guy eventually came cause it was slowing down production and he was getting blamed. So he comes over and begs me to stop. He knows what I'm doing. He, any apologize for kicking me away from that other character like chat with him? Yeah, he wasn't a hat in hand Thank you for a lesson in all children's futures. Yes, you should always know if you have the power use it and so I backed off enough so these damn things could get done and that was that and that's the way it worked. Curiously, I learned two things on that job. The other one is we're telling stories until this one too

1:33:47 I had this, these P&O trailers had this sagging roof problem. And it was... I hate a sagging roof! It was like off by a half inch and the roof, the spec. So I luckily had caught this early and I sent a note in about this that said it takes too much work to get these things to spec and it did. It took forever to get these things to spec they had their...it was a long story how it happened but you could do it but it would take an hour And so I wrote this memo in there's a memo about what should be done because like you know I can't reject every one of them and I went in and the memo never was responded to About two months later...

1:34:28 Yeah, two months later the final inspector finally got wind of these roofs that were sagging and I got called to the carpet for why aren't you just doing something about these roofs? They're sagging. And I said, I sent a memo in two months earlier about this and nobody said anything right they looked into it The memo was sent in cover your ass memo learned early I was good to go. Excellent, yeah hey good story this was new to me. Trailmobile right? So back to democracy which we are not... We are a republic and that is yes the distribution of the power in a proper way for our situation certainly and this comes up

1:35:16 in regards to, you got it the electoral college. Let me ask you about this... You say and I think you're absolutely right about this that we have to if we're gonna fix climate we have to fix our democracy first now when you won slash lost the election You got 500,000 more votes. Now listen very carefully what's happening here. And the guy who took over Hillary got 3 million more votes this trend is not going in the right direction now This thing where we get the most votes and they get to be president That's a pattern now and it's not going in the right direction how do that? Now this is really interesting The way I view this and this and I'm thinking this whole thing is all scripted at this point

Speculation arises regarding Al Gore potentially running for president in 2020 as he calls for the abolition of the Electoral College. Gore's rhetoric on "comprehensive campaign finance reform" is viewed as a standard precursor to a political campaign. The discussion also touches on Democratic strategies of total resistance to the Trump administration while waiting for leadership shifts in Congress.

You say and I think you're absolutely right about this that we have to if we're gonna fix climate we have to fix our democracy first now when you won slash lost the election You got 500,000 more votes. Now listen very carefully what's happening here. And the guy who took over Hillary got 3 million more votes this trend is not going in the right direction now This thing where we get the most votes and they get to be president That's a pattern now and it's not going in the right direction how do that? Now this is really interesting The way I view this and this and I'm thinking this whole thing is all scripted at this point

1:36:02 We have some evidence that certainly in previous bits here, this is Al Gore leading up to a run. He's now being compared to Hillary Clinton he won-lost, he won lost, he carried it you know but he's winning all this is bullshit you know here's the proof that had happened to you pay attention and it's not going in the right direction how do we stop that? Well I do think it's time to get rid of the electoral college But going back... That's a constitutional amendment that, well no. Well that's one way to do it there is also an initiative to have a compact among the states it started here in California and it could work but even more importantly than that we have to get big money out of politics. Reform! Comprehensive! The lobbyists and fat cat contributors hacked our democracy before Putin hacked our democracy

1:37:01 And we need to defend it and put the people back in control. And we can do that. Now what does every politician... Wait, no, I want to say something. Every politician before he gets ready to run always talks about comprehensive campaign finance reform? All right go Does he know that Hillary outspent Trump 4-1 or something along those lines? She's over a billion dollars. Yeah, but remember... Remember he said sometimes in politics it works for every action we have an equal and opposite reaction Gore is very smart John

1:37:38 Well, if he thinks he's going to become the president. I think he is toying with that idea for sure! I'm sure...I hope he is! I hope he and Maxine Waters are both toying with this. Oh my god you read my mind! You read my mind!! You have the clips? It's out there. Why do you think... This is, I think it's CNN with Democratic strategist Robert Petillo. Joking or not! Why do you think or do agree with the fact that Democrats seem to have decided that is much better to resist Trump than it is try and do what we were talking about

1:38:17 in work together and have some type of compromise. Well, I think when Trump was elected he decided to try to court the Republican establishment. That's why you saw him bring in Reince Priebus into the Oval Office at the appointment of Jeff Sessions. He tried to become the establishment Republican now that he has seen that it is not working Democrats looking at a president hovering around 30% approval ratings have no reason to run into a burning building and trying to put it out instead just waiting until when we'll have Speaker of the House Maxine Waters and Senate Leader Chuck Schumer, and then they'll be able to control the government that way. As long as Trump is hovering around 30% approval ratings and Republicans appear to be in chaos there's no reason to reach across the line. A joke or serious? I'm giving you a borderline clip of the day for that one! That's a beauty!

CHAPTER 27 / 46 Discussion

Maxine Waters, The View, Trump Impeachment, Mike Pence

Congresswoman Maxine Waters appeared on "The View" to discuss her singular focus on the impeachment of Donald Trump. During the interview, she appeared to confuse Vice President Mike Pence with Vladimir Putin, suggesting that after Trump is removed, Putin would be next. The hosts critique the audience's enthusiastic response to her calls for impeachment as "anti-American" and irrational.

maxine waters· the view· impeachment· mike pence· vladimir putin· joy behar

1:39:09 And I'm hearing the, you know think about it. Hey Maxine we've got a Bernie effect with her the young kids the Millennials they stay woke They love her which we can get her on we can get her on the ticket I think that's their side that may not be as far-fetched is We'd like to hope She was she was of course on The View yeah, oh I have The View clips too okay? You got view clips I got the two view clips where she's, where she's got the Putin thing but if yours is longer i would rather play yours because mine are short. They've been compressed. I only have the Putin and I have uh... the setup that they gave her a joke they wrote her a joke

1:39:50 What was the joke? Vice President Pence is already planning his inauguration. I'm sorry, that's the wrong one no the joke is this one this is a joke There have been rumors that you might run for president in 2020 I'm hearing here and there Is there any truth... You want to make an announcement here today for everyone here That simply aroma everybody! I am not running for anything except the impeachment of Trump And she delivers the line like she's happy she delivered it. You know, like I'm not running... That she managed to get it out? Well, I have that kind of attached to the one where she goes off the deep end Yeah But we'll play this Okay Do you think Pence will be better than Trump if he were... No and when we finish with Trump We have to go and get Putin He is next Putin or Pence? Uh, Pence You mean...

1:40:40 We'll get two for one, Trump and Putin. Oh I love how Joy is trying to cover like oh man I'm gonna help my guest because she's obviously a moron but um...I'm gonna...oh yeah we get two for one! I got you Maxine! People at home will never know that you're a douche Do you think Pence will be better than Trump if he were impeached? No, and when we finish with Trump we have to go and get Putin. That's right He is next. Putin or Pence? Uh, Pence You mean Pence By the way, he is next! He is not next...he is NEXT Just so ya know..NEXT We'll get two for one with Trump and Putin then we gotta go after Pence I am not running for anything except the impeachment of Trump

1:41:25 Actually, I think no now what I hold on one second. I want you to comment on it. I think okay On my clip, there's a piece I didn't play. It's a twofer. A three-fer, I believe because the joke is written this way you could talk more about joke structure but it's the setup then she has to say I'm not running for anything then everyone claps and then except for the impeachment of Donald Trump and i think she had a kicker There have been rumors that you might run for president in 2020 I'm hearing here and there Is there any truth? You want to make an announcement here today for everyone here That simply aroma everybody I am not running for anything except the impeachment of Trump.

1:42:19 Yeah, how do you follow that? What I was going to comment on was the outrageous cheer from the audience. It went absolutely nuts when she wanted to impeach Trump This is really anti-American at this point, I have to say. Defending Trump...I mean Trump's a bonehead But this is at the point it's just anti-American. Joy Behar is sitting there screaming, lock him up! Yeah she says you can lock him up yeah well she's insane I mean this whole group is nuts especially when we get Maxine Water in the mix you got really a holy mackerel It's really good Hard to take No I kind of dig it man Well and its causing a problem in California Oh?

1:43:12 Because we had the Californians, you know there were a bunch of it's just owned largely because you know there may be voter fraud it turns out. Let's play this little clip though that something that you in Austin when you're there might be concerned about this is Democrats driving out Republicans to Texas If you are a conservative living in California and tired of the liberal ways in your home state, you might have a way out. A company called Conservative Move launched in May aims to help families from all over America relocate to Texas, a state known for its traditional values It's already been flooded with inquiries most of them from Californians And founder Paul Chabot says the Golden State just isn't what it used to be

CHAPTER 28 / 46 Discussion

Conservative Move, California Exodus, Texas Relocation

A company called "Conservative Move" is helping families relocate from California to Texas to escape liberal policies and high crime rates. Founder Paul Chabot reports that over 2,500 families signed up in the first month, citing failing schools and crumbling infrastructure in the Golden State. The segment explores the growing political divide between coastal "limousine liberals" and the rest of the country.

1:42:19 Yeah, how do you follow that? What I was going to comment on was the outrageous cheer from the audience.

A company called Conservative Move launched in May aims to help families from all over America relocate to Texas, a state known for its traditional values It's already been flooded with inquiries most of them from Californians And founder Paul Chabot says the Golden State just isn't what it used to be

1:44:01 Today, California is completely different. It's a mess. They have some of the worst schools in the country. Their roadways are falling apart and property crime and violent crime is on the rise and good paying jobs are hard to find so we've only been around now for a little over a month and the business has just exploded over 2500 families have signed up of These liberal elite, these coastal Democrats—these limousine liberals if you will—live along the coastal region of New York to San Francisco to L.A., and they control now the Democrat Party in America. And the Democrat Party is no longer made up of moderates. They are made up of very radical extremists who are pushing a dangerous agenda in America. And they harm our communities, they increase crime and make it more difficult for us

1:45:05 for families to earn a living. The Democrats of 20 years ago in America, they don't exist in America anymore." Hey was this RT? Yeah! Okay makes sense yeah who else would do that story? Well yay Texas! We put him in Steiner Ranch because there's a big fence around it Keep them in. The thing is to keep people out, but it's to keep them in I have a boots on the ground report regarding another of your favorite stories that keeps coming to you the Ford Explorer carbon monoxide story speaking of Austin I have one too But yeah with the boots on the ground story once you read that and then we'll play this clip Okay

CHAPTER 29 / 46 Discussion

Ford Explorer Exhaust Leaks, Police Equipment, Carbon Monoxide

A "boots on the ground" report suggests that carbon monoxide leaks in police Ford Explorers may be caused by aftermarket equipment installations. Technicians drilling holes in the floorboards to mount police gear may be using defective epoxy that fails to seal out exhaust fumes. This report adds a new dimension to the ongoing investigation into officer illnesses linked to the vehicle model.

ford explorer· carbon monoxide· police vehicles· aftermarket· epoxy

1:45:49 So this is from producer Chris, John Adam. Dude named Ben here grew up in Auburn and have family in the Auburn Police Department APD not to be confused with Austin's APD just got back from dinner and I have a report! We now go to Chris who has the report Yes Adam & John according to my source The fire department tested CO2 on several Ford Explorers And the results were enough to take them off the road It was mentioned they were tested while idling with the windows UP My JCD kicked in, which is apparently an affliction people have. And my argument was... Since I was a kid, I've been told you do not sit in the car with the windows up and the engine running! I didn't go further as I obviously irritated her with my comment After more discussion, I found out there's a new piece of equipment that's being installed on these vehicles

1:46:38 This piece of equipment gets mounted on the floor. It's probably a police state mandated box, in other words everyone gets one well The epoxy they use to plug the holes after the box installation has been found to be the root cause Of exhaust leaking into the cabin I thought they may be punctured Maybe they punctured the exhaust but she said no The vapor coming in through this defective mishandled epoxy is enough to spike CO2 readings Important note Ford does not do the aftermarket outfitting of lights and special equipment. Aftermarket shops buzz, hack and drill the crap out of these vehicles to get the equipment installed." I don't know how factual just giving a boots on the ground report that's exactly how all network news reports should end. I don't know how factual this is just giving you a boots-on-the-ground report! Stay woke everybody from Chris.

CHAPTER 30 / 46 Discussion

Ford Manifold Cracks, Safety Recalls, Manufacturing Defects

Federal investigators are looking into 1.3 million Ford Explorers following reports of cracked exhaust manifolds that leak carbon monoxide into the cabin. In Montgomery County, Maryland, mechanics found that 80% of their fleet had these cracks, affecting both police and administrative vehicles. The cost of replacing these cast-iron components on a massive scale presents a significant financial challenge for Ford.

ford motor company· exhaust manifold· carbon monoxide· recall· montgomery county

1:47:28 Stay woke everybody! Still, there has to be some CO2 or CO going up those holes which means it's gotta be coming out. I think that they've come up with this and discovered this and i'll tell you some things as to why they're not doing anything about it because I think this is a bigger deal than they want to admit too. This is the Ford on exhaust leaks. The Ford Motor Company says it takes seriously concerns raised by police departments across the country about excessive carbon monoxide levels in their Ford Explorers. Several officers have been sickened, Ford responded to our CBS News investigation saying when the data indicates a safety recall is needed we move quickly for more now here's Chris Van Cleve

1:48:21 Police departments are finding cracks like this one in the exhaust manifolds of their Ford Explorers so frequently. CBS News has learned Ford is now actively considering a recall of some or all 135,000 police edition Explorers Those manifolds carry exhaust which contains carbon monoxide away from the engine. Is that the crack right there? Mechanics for Montgomery County, Maryland say as many as 80% of county explorers have the cracks David Dice is their director general services. scarring right there, that's a clear indication that there is exhaust leaking into the engine compartment from that part. That's dangerous." Police departments in at least 25 states have raised concerns about possible carbon monoxide leaks or added CO detectors

1:49:09 In Massachusetts, the Association of Police Chiefs says at least 16 departments have sidelined Explorers. But federal investigators are looking beyond just police units to more than 1.3 million Explorers model years 2011-2017 Montgomery County says the manifold cracks are not limited to police cruisers Of the 108 vehicles that we have for the Explorers 85 of them are police the rest of their administrative fleet. It's the same problem Ford says safety is its top priority adding its engineers have not found evidence that the manifold cracks are linked to the carbon monoxide Complaints, but they are investigating The company has not made a final decision on a potential recall Rena Did I hear the guy say that it's not just policed additions

1:49:59 I think, here's what i think based on kind of logic. Exhaust manifolds are not cheap they cost a couple hundred bucks and to replace them on thousands of vehicles...I mean that just costs them and that's just the price of the part there are pain in the ass to put on and off their you know If they're cracked, that means they're buying defective manifolds from someone. I'm guessing India, China something like that because it's a type of... And John how about not just Ford Explorers? I would assume that they are having an issue with their manifolds in general because if somebody actually examines it and finds 80% of the cars have a cracked manifold this is not good

1:50:49 And that is where the gas is coming from. And if then, and our boots on the ground guy says there's a bunch of holes they're drilling in the floorboard to mount stuff and it can seep through I can see that but even so even if you didn't have the hole yeah the root cause is the manifold crack Now, explain to people what the manifold is and where it is and how it works. Well when you have...the engine has a bunch of ports exit ports for the exhaust gases and the manifold is a large piece of device that bolts onto the engine and takes it and moves that gas toward the tailpipes or the pipes that go to the tailpipes What does it look like? A manifold

1:51:27 You can look them up, exhaust manifolds. They're big cast iron homely looking things they are not attractive. They're not pretty, they aren't attractive I agree. I don't think so. I fell out of love with my manifolds. If you see one on a dragster or something where they use these very expensive ones that are just designed for even out the pressures. Yeah, they're gorgeous but these are just junkie looking things and they usually cast iron generally speaking and it's cracked this reminds me of the cracks on the bridge over here that the Chinese use Chinese steel I think Ford's got a big hit gonna be it's not gonna be cheap to fix these things you know what that means short the Ford

Fat City Saloon, Old Sacramento, Meetup Logistics

Logistical details for the Sacramento meetup are finalized, with the group moving from the train museum to the Fat City Saloon in Old Town. The hosts discuss the historical charm of the area and encourage attendees to bring donations in clearly labeled envelopes for proper crediting. There is a brief mention of family members attending, including a new baby named Theodore.

fat city saloon· old sacramento· meetup· logistics· theodore

2:04:27 reservation for a private car on a little train. It's a 45 minute train ride that takes place at the Train Museum and it'll be like first come, first serve for the first 20 people if we have that many and Patrick Koble is donating that to the show. Oh nice! Sir Patrick out of Murfreesboro where they women shoot them in. And so that will, and then right after that... So I figure around, I think that ride ends at two o'clock. So around 2 o'clock, I believe we'll all meet up at the Fat City Salon Saloon in Old Sacramento which is another... Now when you leave the train if you're at the train station it's one block to the train station. This is really confusing!

2:05:16 It'll be on the Dvorak.org slash meetup. Yeah, you know work that org yeah I need to talk to you about that because that URL just does not work i've tried slash Meet up slash man put it up yet oh Can I also mention one other thing? You need to update your Apache you're pretty out of date okay So anyway the board or slash meet-up and that will be up tomorrow probably Just a reminder but now just go over it train museum be there on Saturday and we'll flank each other. But at 2 o'clock, you have to really know it's two o'clock the Fat City Saloon in Old Town Sacramento and the train museum is like a two minute walk from the train station. You get out of the train... It makes sense! Yes it does make sense. Funny how they're near some tracks

Saudi Aramco IPO, Global Stock Exchanges, Trump Diplomacy

Saudi Aramco is preparing for a massive IPO valued at up to $2 trillion, with major global exchanges competing for the listing. President Trump's recent trip to Saudi Arabia is viewed as a move to secure the listing for the New York Stock Exchange over London. The influx of capital from this deal is expected to provide a significant boost to the financial and legal sectors of the host country.

saudi aramco· ipo· donald trump· new york stock exchange· london stock exchange

2:07:59 You've never done one in Austin. Yes, we have I've done one awesome years ago but in fact that's what the idea to meet up and Austin that's why I moved to Austin after I witnessed Austin like okay this is good oh you haven't done a meeting of an Austin since you moved to Austin yeah casual media right? I think you're right it's different okay after you do the Austin one then I'll do a San Francisco Bay Area when I hear ya okay you win the homeless One of our Dutch producers brought something to my attention. It's a clip that is not worth playing because it's in Dutch, even though it's subtitled so you can find it the show notes that Saudi Aramco is going public they've announced they want to go public. Saudi Aramco is... Is it not the biggest company in the world? Well, it's definitely a big company

2:08:52 The valuation is pegged at a trillion dollars based upon the preliminary pricing people are talking about. I think they want to sell off 10%. So 100 billion will go to the market. The family itself, the royal family believes that the company is worth $2 trillion but there's been a kind of I guess like a reverse roadshow or more interesting perhaps a pitch from all the exchanges and everybody has been trying to get this business everybody wants this IPO Everybody wants it. Frankfurt, Amsterdam of course this you know good luck with that Singapore I believe a couple other exchanges because this is big money you bring into the exchange big money to bring into that market itself and now all of a sudden the Trump to Saudi Arabia trip makes extra sense

2:09:47 Because apparently it's going to be between New York and London. Oh, London is too shaky with Brexit that's just not enough stability. Good move! So I think Trump went out there and said boys you got to come to us And that will be a substantial boon for whichever market they choose Hmm What do you mean? I wish... And i think It'll be good for the United States too I mean, I don't know exactly how the knock-on effects but you get a lot of money coming into our financial and accounting and legal industries. And it's just a lot of money then they need apprentices and people and it just trickles down. Oh God! I said it... I had this clip and I can't find it. I think I didn't produce it but It was very interesting clip where some one of these stooges on one of these networks said that

2:10:45 when they're discussing the clips about um the WAPO story where they stole these transcripts and published them. And instead of saying he said he used the word seven transcripts and then he pulled back his eyes and he said something else, instead of seven so I think there's more transcripts coming out so it's possible It's possible that some meetings with the Saudi Arabia may be revealed. Just off the top of my head. Okay, well oh that would be good! Maybe I guess... It'll be good for us it's always good for us we don't lose. Let me see.. Oh sorry go ahead. Well i was gonna say have a couple of smaller clips if you got some thematic thing you can go into it'd be better

CHAPTER 36 / 46 Discussion

Bitcoin Day Trading, Beanie Coin, Blockchain Distribution

A discussion on the volatility of Bitcoin leads to a proposal for a show-specific cryptocurrency called "Beanie Coin." The concept involves creating a market where listeners can trade coins for show content or use them for donations, potentially allowing the hosts and audience to "retire simultaneously." The technical possibility of distributing the podcast via blockchain to track engagement and support is also explored.

bitcoin· beanie coin· cryptocurrency· blockchain· day trading

2:11:35 I do have, not really thematic but I do have... Well Trump hate. Is that thematic? Can I preface it with a very interesting clip by Peter Schiff. Peter Schiff was on Kaiser's show and I did make a nine-minute clip. I don't have it but its nine minutes of Schiff going off on Bitcoin and what a joke it is. Oh good we can talk about Kaiser, I don't have that coin. Oh that's too bad damnit! I mean I can cut it back but yeah I'll send it to you like Google the Google wouldn't take it because its too long Can I just say one thing about bitcoin? Just briefly before we get into this

2:12:14 So for a whole week, I'm watching. I want to see what happens and I'm interested in you know...I got a couple Bitcoin like this will be fun to be great so... You had a dog in the hunt? Yeah well I had it I had a dog in the hunt trading back and forth like click oh I can make some make two dollars here back four low lost four okay up we're good And then we traveled to New York Wait stop! Your day trading bitcoin?! Of course Wow I'll smoke a cockroach. That is slightly below podcaster in status Not really day trading, just messing around but i'm interested in the ecosystem this isn't it's not a trustworthy system these are you know these are multiple exchanges with the same uh you know currency that have to synchronize the whole thing is completely outrageous but i'm very interested in watching The point is i've been watching this thing to see what will happen for an entire week we get on the plane

2:13:14 I wake up in my typical like 3 in the morning, and I usually wake up like what's going on? And then I see things gone from 2800 to 3300. Missed the entire run and it hit the magic number is a beautiful thing. And I have two offers on deck for the Beanie coin the Beanie Coin being our own cryptocurrency and I just want to give you some ideas, and we don't have to talk about it now. But here's how I think it works... So we create this coin and of course, we each have like a million coins. That's how it works you get a million coins and whoever helps us gets a million coins or whatever who cares? 10 million doesn't matter A million is a nice number Then we have to be listed on exchange so people with their Bitcoin who so desperately want to pay us And we can peg this currency We can say well just run it against the dollar momentarily whatever just make it easy

2:14:16 Then we'll say, yeah we'll take your donations. Not in Bitcoin and Beanie Coin So then you buy a Beanie Coin with your Bitcoin and then you send us the Beanie coin now what's cool about this is You can exchange the beauty of to have an ecosystem so but you can exchange the beanie coin with other no agenda producers So now we have a little bit of a market And then you get on the exchange if people start trading it and before you know it We retire with 100 million Beanie Coins I think you got something going on here. We have to follow up with this. I gotta refine it, but there is a way to... And check it out! You can also... This is what's cool about it. You can also distribute the show through the Beanie Coin. Through the same blockchain. Blockchain distribution of the show? Yes and check it out even better. Check it out? You're saying check it out too much. Okay pay attention. Listen up yo.

2:15:15 You can also then track people's donations because it's all in the ledger. It's all in the blockchain and that's different than PayPal Where we can try donation what point of a hundred million beanie coins. Did you not understand? Hello This is our this is our ticket out and people who support it People who support the show and hold on to beanie coins, they'll also be able to retire This will be the first podcast where the host and the audience retire simultaneously All right I'm all in Okay

CHAPTER 37 / 46 Discussion

Peter Schiff, Trump Economy, Stock Market Bubble

Financial commentator Peter Schiff argues that President Trump has mistakenly taken ownership of a "big fat ugly bubble" in the stock market. Schiff suggests that by claiming credit for current economic highs, Trump is setting himself up as the "fall guy" for an inevitable market collapse. The discussion notes that Trump's rhetoric has shifted from calling the system "rigged" to praising the current GDP and unemployment numbers.

peter schiff· donald trump· stock market· gdp· unemployment· bubble

2:16:00 I'm glad you're doing this. This could work! Yes, I'm telling you this could work bigly baby! So back to Peter Schiff so he's on there and he said the notorious gold bug and they were yakking about Bitcoin and crypto and all the rest but then they asked Schiff about Trump And he gets a, I thought the answer that Schiff gave him, because Schiff was a Trump supporter. I thought it was kind of spot on. What's your current take on the administration right now? Well look they're having a tough situation. Look what they inherited from Obama but i think the big problem for Trump

2:16:40 is that as soon as he won, he pretended everything was great. I liked him better as a candidate when everything was rigged, when the data was phony, right? The statistics aren't real, the unemployment rate is much higher don't believe in GDP, the stock market's a big fat ugly bubble That's the Trump I voted for! The Trump I got Everything is great It's a bull market, the economy is great and it's all because of me So he has claimed ownership of this economy and this stock market right is about to go over the cliff. Right there, he's the fall guy now, right? So I think he's bit off a lot more than he can chew and yeah i think things are gonna go down look at the dollar the dollars now down 10 percent goes on yeah i think it makes a good point trump is setting himself up to be the fall guy why he doesn't what do you mean why

2:17:36 Why because he's taken can he's taking credit for what everything is that positive? It's going on instead of still bitching and moaning like you used to do all the markets bull crap is Okay, I see. The unemployment is not four point three it's ten or whatever it really is if you look at shadow stats is probably still around 20 yeah and And all this sort of thing, instead of keeping with the same commentary he's changed and now says I'm the guy. He brags about it, the market is up because of him that means when the market collapses it'll be cause of him. He put himself set himself up unknowingly as the fall guy. I think its a mistake. That was my point, hes not doing it on purpose, just no smart about it

CHAPTER 38 / 46 Discussion

H.R. McMaster, Military Influence, White House Temperament

Concerns are raised about the high number of military generals in top White House positions, including H.R. McMaster, John Kelly, and James Mattis. McMaster is described as having a "legendary temper," which the hosts speculate could be a sign of a bipolar personality. The segment questions whether the administration is undergoing a "soft military coup" as these figures take control of policy and personnel.

h.r. mcmaster· james mattis· john kelly· military coup· national security advisor

2:18:23 Yeah, that's his ego. And that-that's what'll kill him! I mean not literally hopefully but that's what will do him in...his ego That is-that has been painfully obvious from day one when he appeared on the scene That's his uh Achilles heel And yeah, maybe General Kelly can beat that out of him before he gets... I don't think so. It's possible but we're watching this little go between him and Mattis and Mattis Kelly and McMaster is the guy... McMaster is a real interesting case Because he bothers me. I'm concerned about anybody who is described as having a legendary temper. Legendary temper to me always means the guy's bipolar

2:19:06 People with a legendary temper have split personalities, they go nuts. And it's usually because they're bipolar and bipolar people who are also used to be known as manic-depressive or people would they have when they're on their upping they have a ton of energy They outwork you can't compete with them there's impossible to... They don't sleep Yeah, you run into the bipolar types are much more successful than most people. And even though they're down in the dumps and they're getting mad and start yelling...and McMaster I didn't realize that guys have what used to call them in academia as a bomb-off fud which means he's got a master's degree, hold on, a master's degree yeah and a PhD. A bomb off fud nice! Yeah bomb off fud. Fear uncertainty and doubt at the end

2:19:57 So he is a, he's got a PhD and this is not again. He's got all and you look at his background and all the stuff he's done. This guy has got too much energy. It's got a legendary temper. This is the guy it's just nice nuts no doubt about it in my mind And I'm sure he's great to have a beer with but I'm concerned about all these military guys taking over their presidencies like as the military is like a military coup. Like a coup yeah Well, Trump is clearly listening to us. No agenda! Great.

CHAPTER 39 / 46 Discussion

Robert Mueller, Michael Flynn, White House Leaks

Special Counsel Robert Mueller is requesting documents related to former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn as part of the Russia investigation. Meanwhile, Attorney General Jeff Sessions has announced a crackdown on government leaks, tripling the number of active investigations. The media's portrayal of Trump's "working vacation" in New Jersey is criticized for being overly negative and focusing on his avoidance of the press.

robert mueller· michael flynn· jeff sessions· fbi· leaks· sergey kislyak

2:20:34 Well, here is the Trump update with lots of tidbits in and I believe this is from I don't know This is from ABC or NBC today Moscow former ambassador Sergey Kislyak denied accusations Moscow meddled in the November election Yes, yes describe conversations with Michael Flynn as quote just simple things with no secrets He also denied sanctions were discussed Errol Barnett has the latest As President Trump began his 17-day working vacation, news emerged his administration has been contacted by the special counsel investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election. Robert Mueller is now requesting documents connected to former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn The president's attorney Ty Cobb tells CBS News Mr Trump is fully cooperating

2:21:25 Once in New Jersey, the president defended his current national security advisor amid criticism from the far right wing of his own party. Saying in a statement, General McMaster and I are working very well together. I am grateful for the work he continues to do serving our country." I just need to ask you a question why am I hearing yet again another British voice on an American newscast? What is this? Well, this is CBS weekend edition. Yeah so? And I have no idea who this guy is. I've never heard him do a report before. But they keep doing that whenever it's to be taken seriously they bring in a Brit and then you're like oh yeah sounds yeah. That sounds right. I'm in total agreement with your complaint

2:22:08 McMaster has been targeted by alt-right websites like Breitbart for, among other things, ousting NSA staff ideologically aligned with chief strategist Steve Bannon. In an interview taped Wednesday, McMaster says he's happy with the direction the White House is now heading. We've been trying to view problem sets and opportunities through the lens of our vital national interests Attorney General Jeff Sessions also cites national interests in announcing a crackdown on government employees leaking classified information rogue anonymous sources with security clearances to sell out our country. Sessions said the Department of Justice has tripled its leak investigations and the FBI has established a new counterintelligence unit to address those disclosures The department is also reviewing policies related to compelling journalists to testify about their sources

2:23:04 Now, the special counsel's request and the administration's efforts to stop leaks comes as President Trump is trying to steady the ship once again. A White House official tells us Chief of Staff John Kelly is with the president in Bedminster today. Meetings with lawmakers and administration officials are expected in the weeks ahead. Reena? Yeah that's why they chose The Brit because it's about freedom of the press! I don't know why they chose the break to be honest. White House sateenas, yes! Oh yes, they're gonna sateena the press. He has a bunch of his little tidbits and he put- well i don't know who put the package together but the visual they had Trump talking about him going on his vacation and they show him at the mouth or top of the stairs with 747 waving as if he's taking a 747 to Bedford New Jersey.

2:24:03 It was the whole this whole New Jersey vacation is strange to me. I mean, the guy... No, but I'll tell you what! He lives in Manhattan and he's wondering- I can tell you why it's connected to this story. It's connected to this story because oh, he's trying to circumvent the freedom of the press. He's going to subpoenas and then wait a minute? He's not really on vacation? Is it a working White House? Oh then we need to be able to cover him otherwise you're suppressing our First Amendment right?! Follow this that's what's going on. Okay, you're right because if you listen to that clip again at the very beginning They they this is one of the two days listen today in Moscow for it

2:24:41 I'll ring the bell when at the point where you will have heard what you should have heard. Sergey Kislyak denied accusations Moscow meddled in the November election. Kislyak described conversations with Michael Flynn as quote, just simple things with no secrets He also denied sanctions were discussed. Errol Barnett has the latest As President Trump began his 17-day working vacation, news emerged his administration... Yes. Are you afraid to talk to the press? They're showing him walking on the green

2:25:17 from his helicopter to wherever, and the press is cordoned off way away. And somebody yells and they put this in the package I don't know why what was the point of this? Unless what your point is- Yep yep. I think you caught them just a bit. Yep. So they show that as you have their president walking then you hear in the background Mr President are you afraid to talk to the press? Why is that in this package? Seriously. It's denigrating is what it is. It's denigrating and it's a cheap shot, the CBSes... The CIA broadcasting system.

CHAPTER 40 / 46 Discussion

MoMA, Van Gogh Starry Night, Selfie Stick Culture

A report from the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) describes crowds of tourists using selfie sticks to photograph themselves in front of Van Gogh's "Starry Night." The hosts lament the shift in museum culture where visitors focus more on their own image than the artwork itself. They call for stricter bans on selfie sticks to protect the art and improve the experience for other patrons.

moma· vincent van gogh· starry night· selfie sticks· museum etiquette

2:26:00 It's so obvious when you hear it, when you watch it and see him running. It's the same thing with him standing at the top of the 747 flying from this on the 747 to Bedford New Jersey I think as a short train ride So, so it was you know this is a very slanted as usual package. Yeah that's typical I have two clips left that i want to play but little update Tina while we're doing the show she's not obviously like gonna hang around here with me in the lovely embassy suites at Newark Airport so she went to the MoMA Museum of Modern Art

2:26:38 And she just sent me a picture and she says it's unbelievable. The people here, I have a picture of just...I'm just gonna say a room full of Asian humans. I don't want to sound racist but i don't know where they're from that could be China they don't look Japanese could be South Korea It could be anywhere. I don't know. Could be Singapore? Probably China. I am thinking China There's just a million selfies, selfie sticks and they're actually touching the frame of Starry Night by Van Gogh. Oh that would be a picture to have! A picture of that? Yeah you can't- Where is the security?! You can't actually see that I uh she's gotta try and nap it's not in this photo she sent me but that's yeah it's crazy and why yeah why isn't an alarm going off

2:27:29 And most museums, most public museums the big ones. The small ones not so much but the big ones for sure they allow photography yeah so you can take no flash photography but But many of them banned the selfie stick and tripods. Yeah, as they should have. Because they don't want people waving these things around and poking a hole in a Van Gogh. And now but now just from this vantage point where Tina took the picture you see that the Starry Night way in the background You only see the top because there's all these people with their phones up in the air reversed They're not looking at the picture No! They're looking into the selfie cam

2:28:09 Yeah, death to you. I say by what I say what? Phi Fie by look it up. Yeah, is that like from Semper Fi no no that's different That's fidelis let's temper fidelis by if ie is different okay stopping the show I wanna know what phi is fi used to express disgust or outrage and Wow, good word. So can I just say FI? Yeah you can just say fi Does this come from the French je m'en fous No this is a British Anglo-Saxon word if i'm not mistaken This is fantastic and I've learned something on the show today And let us learn something together from Anna Navarro who is the quite manhating now confirmed political commentator

CHAPTER 41 / 46 Discussion

Ana Navarro, Jeffrey Lord, Identity Politics, American Values

CNN commentator Ana Navarro is criticized for her "racist" remarks toward Jeffrey Lord, where she claimed it "must be nice to be a white male." The discussion focuses on the breakdown of civil discourse and the use of identity politics to shut down debate. Navarro's assertion that language and culture are not part of "Americanism" is challenged by the hosts, who argue for shared national values.

ana navarro· jeffrey lord· cnn· identity politics· racism· immigration

2:29:08 for CNN, and this is about the immigration bill. And the hired punching bag Jeffrey Lord... I mean this guy has no respect! No self-respect I guess this is his only gig. His gig is go on CNN, get beat up. It's like hey darling, I'm going-I'm off to work okay? Gonna get beat up again by the Anna Navarro. Here we go! In essence resegregating the country that's a bad thing and it is No, he's you know Jeffer- Jeff it must be so nice to be a white male. What does that have to do with anything? Can you believe that shit I'm sorry didn't mean to curse but can you this for this to be said It must be so nice to be a white male

2:30:00 It's racist. She is a racist pig! Yeah, if you turn around... You have the little thing there as a pig? Play the Pig clip. What I would've said is that it must be nice to be brown female. I mean this-it's totally... No what he should have said was it must be nice to be an on air bitch These are pigs! No, he's-you know Jeff, it must be so nice to be a white male in America and able to do this And I think you just completely missed the point of what makes us wonderful here in America is that I can go celebrate St. Patrick's Day and that you can celebrate Cinco de Mayo or you can celebrate the 15th of September, and that does not define— What's the 15th of September?

2:30:45 I think that's the Mexican Independence Day. Oh, is it? Well what's Cinco de Mayo then and they can't have two... Cinco de Mayo is the day where I think Zapata or one of these guys It was like when they beat them back to French But they can't have two celebrations! What do they get two independence days?! We have Washington's birthday we got July 4th That's not a celebration... Okay all right President's day we got yeah all right I got you well 15th of September okay I just, I think it is not looking good. correct. The Hispanic names that you will see on those, they bled and they died for this country but many of them are the children or they themselves came here without speaking English and became American Yeah! That is still our system Ana Navarro You come here, you can't speak English, you're not an American, you can't get anything going We put in the military

2:31:51 Don't you have you figured that out yet? So there is no such, You know what's beautiful about America. That there is not one single label of Americanism Yes there is! What is our label of Americanism? Liberty and justice for all that's our label Oh yeah it's true Did you not read the label when you came into the tin, Mr. Dvorak? It means loving your country! America means sacrificing for your country! No... America means putting your country first! No... It does not mean what language you came here speaking. This is so wrong. She's like America means it—no, that's not true. It doesn't mean what language you came here speaking. It doesn't mean what holiday you celebrate.

2:32:37 What it means, patriotism love of country and shared values. No that was a World War II Germany is what that was Anna Navarro shared values? What is shared values? John please consult the book. Here's my question to you. When she talking about why she on the rampage against this guy what did he do now? He it's his job His job is to say, well I think Trump is good and then just everyone unload on him. Like a big bokake it's crazy what they do to this guy. Now I'll ignore what you said but while your playing is there more to that clip than her just moaning? Well no. Okay keep playing that because then I have a dimension B clip about immigration going on Do we need to take a trip in the machine

CHAPTER 42 / 46 Discussion

Mexican Rapists Claim, Media Talking Points, Transgender Ban

The media's persistent claim that Donald Trump called all Mexicans "rapists" is deconstructed as a simplified and inaccurate talking point. The hosts point out that Trump's original comments specifically referred to some illegal immigrants, but the narrative has been broadened by commentators like Ana Navarro. The segment also touches on the use of the "Muslim ban" and "transgender ban" as recurring themes in political opposition.

donald trump· ana navarro· immigration· transgender ban· media bias

2:33:32 Yeah, I think maybe it'd be a good idea but let's finish this clip first. And shared values! It has nothing to do with culture! I more or less 100% agree with everything you've just said. I'm not disagreeing with that, my concern is that we have with all this business of identifying communities, you know this community, that community etc., etc., etc... With all the emphasis on that it keeps people from assimilating into the larger American culture. Nobody does more identity politics than Donald Trump! The guy who came down

2:34:08 announced he was running for president and called Mexicans rapists. No, no I just can't...I don't care what you call me call me an apologist a supporter whatever but i never heard that by heard the illegal aliens who are from Mexico We're all rapists, which is not true. No that's not true either! He said some of them... You're right some of them Some of them. He used the word some of them And talking about illegal immigrants said some of them But when you look at the history books as Ana Navarro is reading from now because this how it will be printed he said Mexicans are rapist and is Pooper jumping in and saying hey Ana come on thats not entirely true I mean that may be what we think Oh yeah but I'm sure he did didn't he?

2:34:56 This is this is a good lead-in. We should have been in the machine It's kind of dangerous to pull dimension B over here He was running for president and called Mexicans rapists Nobody does more identity politics than the guy who called for the Muslim ban No, it was not a Muslim ban You can call it a Muslim ban but I wasn't was I don't need to get into that But okay, I'm just showing you the talking points and how history has changed nobody Nobody does more identity politics than the guy who tweets out against transgenders. So if you want there to be no identity politics, my request to you is to start by telling the president you support regardless of what he does to stop doing it himself." Okay, there ya go.

CHAPTER 43 / 46 Discussion

RAISE Act, Merit-Based Immigration, Historical Comparisons

The RAISE Act, a proposed merit-based immigration system, is discussed alongside media criticism that it would have barred the ancestors of Trump and Stephen Miller. The hosts argue that comparing 1885 immigration needs to modern policy is a logical fallacy, as the country's requirements for labor and assimilation have changed. They critique Jim Acosta's confrontation with Stephen Miller over the "Statue of Liberty" poem as a theatrical rather than substantive debate.

raise act· stephen miller· jim acosta· immigration· merit-based· 1885

2:35:37 Yeah, let's get in. Okay now be careful because this is my portable version. Are you ready? It's the one I take on the plane. Alright everybody! Get ready! It's happening! It's happening! It's happening! Hey, Sparky managed to make it. You know how it works with Sparks. Okay so now here there's some sort of talking points I have not been...I'm gonna go back and changing my rotation a little bit and I'm going to start listening a little more democracy now because they're picking up on the lefts' talking points about things. It's borderline crazy but

2:36:27 The immigration policy that was brought into or developed by the Trump team, I don't know who did it. It didn't seem that different than what I was kind of taught as a kid. You want to bring people in who speak English and have some skills and they have some value they can add something to their country as a whole. How many more gardeners and housekeepers do we need? And more rich people to create now. Yeah well... But it turns out this is terrible This is horrible and they have all these new talking points and a lot of them I think are just, this is to me just insane. And here they go. Opposition is growing to the- Oh, oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you were gonna...I just jumped the gun

2:37:12 No, you didn't. You hit it right on the mic! Oh I didn't know if that's what i was supposed to play first. I'm sorry. I'm going to edit that out because I was pretty tight. Opposition is growing to the Trump administration's new plan to radically overhaul U.S immigration law and slash the number of immigrants allowed into the United States by half The RAISE Act or Reforming American Immigration for Strong Employment would create a so-called merit based immigration system Republicans who speak English have advanced degrees or can demonstrate job skills. Since President Trump and Republican senators introduced the proposal on Wednesday, many commentators have noted proposed policy would have likely blocked Trump's own grandfather—Friedrich

2:37:53 Trump from immigrating to the United States, had it been in place in 1885. At the time of his arrival, Trump did not speak English and his immigration record says he had no identifiable skill or calling as they called it The great-grandparents of senior policy adviser Stephen Miller would have also likely been refused entry under the proposed plan, since they spoke only Yiddish. Kellyanne Conway's great grandfather too would have likely been barred for speaking only Italian. Well on Wednesday CNN's Jim Acosta who is the son of immigrants pressed senior policy adviser Stephen Miller over President Trumps push to admit English speaking only immigrants in a back and forth that lasted for several minutes this is an excerpt

2:38:34 I mean, you really don't know that? Wow. Anyway, they just bickered you couldn't understand a word of it. This dimension B stuff is insane... You know there's a little thing she... A lie she told there that I've read this policy this is not for English speakers only you get an appoint in the merit-based system yeah so that's not true No, that's a lie. But then to go on about immigration policies in 1885... Are we supposed to go back and do all the stuff we did back in 1885? Would that be acceptable?!

2:39:27 Should we just go back and then just kill all the laws that came ever since 1885? And in 1885 where they're trying to populate the country with as many people as we could, especially this sucker. The Norwegians in particular to farm and these God forsaken wilderness of Minnesota and and Minnesota and Wisconsin I mean they were just tricked into coming out yeah, and all that sort That was different with the era that was a hundred over a hundred years ago And then to say well 100 years ago this wouldn't have been the way no this is nonsense This is a talking point

2:40:08 It's a talking point. And they're gonna keep doing it, oh Trump! Yeah, Trump and it's reinforced by the entire No Nations No Borders I'm 30% Ashkenazi Jew By AncestryDNA and 23andMe This whole thing is a giant scheme Very well executed to the naive Damn that Soros he's good And by the way, there's a little... I thought of some racism in there when they said because i had no idea and I actually thought she was Irish. When she said Yiddish? No, Kellyanne Conway her back in the 1800s when their ancestors came over they only spoke Italian What's the race? I didn't know she was Italian

2:40:55 What's the racism part? Why are they telling me this I don't need to know that she's Italian. I had my own thoughts about Kellyanne what kind of an Italian name is this it just I think it's racist. I guess, I don't quite see it. I don't see how its racist. Its racist! Okay well done math is racist just remember that Let's get out of this dimension. It's horrible. I agree. Are you ready? From this day forward, it is going to be only... If you feel nauseous just look at the ground everything will return to normal in 15 seconds here we go! Ah sparky yeah

CHAPTER 44 / 46 Discussion

Powerball Native Ad, Lottery Odds, Media Revenue

A news segment about the Powerball and Mega Millions jackpots is identified as a "native ad" paid for by state lottery commissions. The hosts explain that news stations are often compensated to run these packages, which include the mandatory disclosure of the astronomical odds of winning. This practice is framed as a way for struggling media companies to generate revenue through promotional content disguised as news.

2:41:47 When Sparky's here, we know we've done a successful transition. I have a couple more if you want to go back and forth? Well, I'm done. But you have a native ad? Yes, doing that. Do it. Have an A to that on ABC or maybe it's not a native ad but play this Powerball news item That's a 16 year low economists say wages are not improving as quickly but they are inching up hourly pay of 2.5% from just a year ago

2:42:22 I think that's just a transition. It's insulting There's a way. No, but then they do it this is I think it was one minute. Oh, I'm sorry. Oh geez okay? I'm sorry here we go that just led into it. I thought there were transitions beautiful more than 600 million dollars combined the mega millions drawing tonight with at least 323 million dollars on the line The Powerball tomorrow 286 million Here's ABC's Clayton Sandell. Oh, a package! This weekend more than half-a billion dollars is on the line The Powerball jackpot drawing tomorrow night growing to 286 million dollars Take the cash option and you're still pocketing a cool 178 mil

2:43:16 Tonight's Mega Millions drawing is even bigger. $323 million, cash option $199 million. Lottery officials tell us it has been more than a year since both jackpots were this big at the same time but the amount still nowhere near last years 1.6 billion dollar Powerball payout One million is the same as 100 million You know? You winning something And with these odds you have to be an optimist. The chances of winning Powerball, 1 in 292,201,338. It's slightly better for Mega Millions at one in 258 million

2:43:55 At David we did the math and the odds of winning both jackpots is one in 75 quadrillion. But there, of course, is always a chance so the crew and I here have got our tickets will be back on Monday to report on the results unless of course we're sitting on a tropical beach somewhere which we would understand. Clayton Sendell thanks to you good luck by the way Yeah, of course this is a native ad and I'll explain why because I've dealt with the lotteries and the...I believe this is also state run or multiple states get into the Powerball. Not sure how it works Yeah, they pay off the TV stations. The connection between lotteries and this is very prevalent and very obvious in with national lotteries like the one in the Netherlands, the postcode lottery and they have the same in Scandinavian countries. And not only do they pay

2:44:44 the media companies to do these types of packages. They often produce the packages for them, there's a production company that is also getting paid to do this and they even often buy off the news guys like that guy, that's Mattel for me I got my tickets he's in! That guy got paid The thing that makes me think, well we know it's a native ad you can just tell. But one element in there which says to me absolutely is the fact that they I believe by law if they advertise any of these lotteries they have to put the odds of winning into the advertisement. Oh and they did? They did. And they did! Perfect man you've been on a roll with deconstructing the sleaze. Sleaze day!

2:45:29 Yes, indeed. Not a very funny clip but worth mentioning. The US Attorney General meanwhile is warning of a crackdown on marijuana producing states but our State Attorney General says not so fast Jeff Sessions sent a letter to our state's top officials last month pointing out that Washington's rules on marijuana don't prevent a federal crackdown he also questioned how effectively our state is controlling the industry. Attorney General Bob Ferguson says he was disappointed and that the letter relies on incomplete, inaccurate and out-of-date information. Ferguson also says he's repeatedly invited Sessions to meet in person to discuss the issue but has not yet accepted. I don't like what Sessions is doing here

CHAPTER 45 / 46 Discussion

Jeff Sessions, Marijuana Crackdown, State Rights

Attorney General Jeff Sessions is signaling a potential federal crackdown on states that have legalized marijuana, specifically targeting Washington. State Attorney General Bob Ferguson has pushed back, defending Washington's regulatory framework and inviting Sessions to meet in person. The hosts criticize Sessions' stance as outdated and an infringement on the rights of states to govern their own industries.

2:46:13 No, I don't either. I think it's a total douchebag for doing this and i think that this idea of oh you're not regulating well doesn't make any difference the states can say well it's legal do what you want they don't have to regulate it. They regulate for their own tax purposes and for the benefits of citizens in the state that's for sure but they don't have to follow any specific rules Right. Sessions is full of crap! He's an old southern Alabama dummy when it comes to any of this stuff, he just knows the good ol' boys are getting whacked out on this stuff down there in the farm and as far as he's concerned it's a bad thing. Wacky backy then. Probably doesn't like drinking either. Well I'm- It annoys me. I don't like it get him out

2:46:56 Yeah, I agree. I don't like him for that just for that alone. That's just a non-starter. I agree! I'm in total agreement the guy should go Just the final one because it is something we've been talking about for the entire duration of this program starting over 9 years ago working on 10 years Whenever you see the magic number we have to stop. The other number is 33 Oh, that's a low number I don't know what that's for I have no idea what you're talking about 33 That's a low number. I don't know what it's for but i would hate To have that number Yeah, 33 is president Trumps approval rating How does that happen? It's like right in the solar flex 3 What did Quinnipiac University call

CHAPTER 46 / 46 Discussion

Trump Approval Ratings, Bicyclist Rant, Show Outro

The show concludes with a look at President Trump's 33% approval rating, which the hosts suggest is a "magic number" used as code by media figures like Mika Brzezinski. A final rant targets the behavior of bicyclists who ignore traffic laws while claiming to "save the world." The episode ends with a musical montage and a reminder of the upcoming Thursday program.
