About this episode

Google CEO Sundar Pichai faces internal turmoil and public scrutiny following the firing of engineer James Damore over a controversial diversity memo. The tech giant canceled a scheduled town hall meeting citing safety concerns after employees were allegedly doxxed, highlighting a growing trend of outage addiction where digital anger creates dopamine-driven feedback loops. This corporate friction mirrors the national tension in Charlottesville, where legal battles led by Jason Kessler and the ACLU over protest permits ended in fatal violence and a subsequent media pivot toward labeling all participants as alt-right.

Secondary developments include Arizona Congressman Ruben Gallego labeling Donald Trump an absolute racist on MSNBC while White House advisor Sebastian Gorka defends himself against Nazi allegations from Representative Nita Lowey. In diplomatic news, Trump thanked Vladimir Putin for expelling 755 U.S. embassy workers to save on government payroll, even as investigators seek to interview Rona Graff regarding the 2016 Trump Tower meeting. Forensic analysis from the Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity suggests the DNC data breach was a local leak rather than a Russian hack, while the U.S. Army has officially banned DJI drones due to Chinese cyber vulnerabilities.

MSNBC’s Brian Williams admitted his role is to scare people to death to prevent military strikes, a sentiment echoed by Phil Mudd’s provocative metaphors regarding the President. Between discussions of Lazarus parties and Narcan stock prices, Adam Curry prepares for a guest-hosting stint on InfoWars. The show wraps with a formal knighting ceremony for Dame Jennifer and Sir Boyle, celebrating the value-for-value model amidst a backdrop of bad egg scandals in the Netherlands.

Google, James Damore, Outage Addiction and Media Arrogance

Google CEO Sundar Pichai faced calls to resign following the firing of engineer James Damore over a controversial internal memo regarding gender diversity. The company canceled a town hall meeting citing safety concerns after employees were allegedly doxxed online. Analysis suggests the public reaction is fueled by "outage addiction," a process where internet anger releases dopamine in the brain, creating a cycle of dependency similar to gambling.

00:00 Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak It's Sunday August 13th 2017 This is your award winning Gizmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 9 or 5 5! This is no agenda Claiming the title of counter podcaster and coming to you from the darkest corners of the internet right here in the capital of drone star state downtown Austin Tejas. In the Clubeo, in the morning everybody I'm Adam Curry And from northern Silicon Valley where I am not the counter anything...I'm John C. Dvorak Okay, well you know what the good news is. The good news is... Well- Is this all the good news there is? Yeah we have good news! Good News We don't have to talk about that damn Google memo anymore Well I've got a clip about it No no one needs to talk about it It's..we're done I gotta clip about because I have a bone to pick Do you want to do that right now or start off with that? Like might as well since you brought up stuff Alright But first I wanna back up on couple of

01:05 of beats and ask you why do we not have, you don't think it's gonna or maybe it's only in the Bay Area but they just babble on about this thing forever. About what? Oh the memo? The memo that guys being interviewed everywhere No John no...the next I dunno if its gonna be Days weeks or months, but we're back to square one. We're back to Hitler. I'm so tired of it Hitler Hitler That's that's what is hitler Hitler! Okay, let's do your Google story. Yeah okay you have it right there all right It's been a rough week for tech giant Google There is now call for the CEO to resign over the way he handled an internal memo made public that questioned the abilities of women The CEO fired that employee who wrote the memo and now he is under fire NBC business correspondent Jolene Kent has the latest

02:00 Tonight, pressure on Google mounting as CEO Sundar Pichai is called to resign after canceling a company-wide meeting to address gender discrimination late yesterday. The town hall was scheduled in response to the internal memo written by engineer James Damore now fired he wrote that women are underrepresented in tech due to quote biological differences and efforts to achieve more diversity are bad for business I mean one thing that I want to make clear is that Just attacking diversity. I'm not attacking left ideology necessarily, I'm just attacking the fact that we can't honestly discuss any of these issues and if that is actually hurting the problem The town hall was canceled when some conservative groups online threatened to expose Google workers who plan to ask questions 80% of the company's tech workers are male

02:53 are male, an imbalance Google has pledged to change. Last night in his first public remarks since the controversy the CEO spoke to aspiring young women engineers I want you to know that there's a place for you in this industry There's a place for you at Google. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise." Google fired D'Amour for violating its code of conduct and advancing harmful gender stereotypes He filed the federal complaint and told NBC News he plans to take legal action against Google. D'Amour supporters argue, he is a victim of political correctness Diversity advocates firmly disagree

03:32 up to work and you say something that harms your co-workers, employers have an obligation to take action. And less than this week, more than 80 women have reached out to a California law firm which is planning to file a class action lawsuit against Google for alleged compensation discrimination. This story far from over. Far from over! Thank you. I can understand why it's far from over there but you guys have your own little country going on in California. You've got your own little thing happening there who gives a crap what's going on elsewhere? So here's my thing... Google has no friends in the media except for one or two guys who are of course they don't because they're taking their money No, I mean generally speaking. They don't have into being to protect press right because they they've cut themselves number of years ago They pretty much cut themselves off from any contact with the outside world hmm

04:24 They don't have a press room that I know of. If you want to contact somebody in the media, for media information you have to write an email to Press at Google. And sometimes you hear back and sometimes you don't but you never really get to talk to anybody. Oh, well, I'm convinced also! They've become an incredibly arrogant company and they have no sympathizers so people are loving this. This is fantastic it's hilarious. It's just the way to get into Google Yeah, they all live in glass houses. They should be very apples on deck next you watch no Maybe yeah, whatever the case there's a number of aspects to this like is Desmond Demoner or whatever his name is He is You should just go do a book deal right away. He was making a huge mistake Well he may be doing it and the other all these grousing women and something they have like I put that this

05:19 Image in the next newsletter if I can remember which is show some of the Googlers the female Googler's are all kind There's a lot of very sketchy nutty Nutty Women Google ers over there. Yeah, well I don't have much to add to it other than but I did put in the show notes and people you might want to check out those show notes once in while this stuff in there that we don't necessarily talk about on the show and And you can go to search.nashownotes.com to find something specifically, or archive.noagendanotes.com There's all in every... if you go to noagendashow.com You can find these links and the four scientists that he quoted in his SCREEEEEEEED respond including an Asian-American woman who is one of the scientists and they say well, you know He quoted our research correctly

06:15 But the thing that I found most interesting, and hadn't really thought... Yeah. And I can read it for you but they say hey our research was right it was spot-on he quoted he quoted properly The my millennial who have been having an ongoing conversation with about this send me a... Stay woke! Oh yeah stay woke my millennials Send me a thoughtful article What's the title of it? Google firing shows how outrage addiction is making us stupid And I hadn't really thought about... Ooh, outrage addiction. Yes! And I liked it too and what he asserts with some backup from research, you know sure paid for by the tobacco industry is just like gambling or sex outrage can become a process addiction form of behavior that our bodies come to rely on to feel good

07:04 The mechanics of anger addiction are simple. When we erupt in anger, our brains get hit with dopamine which yields the sense of euphoria just as drug users will quickly become dependent on their substance of choice to get that euphoria those who overindulge in outrage will often end up relying on that behavior to release the desired dopamine and there were many examples of this over the weekend I mean actual dopamine addicts who just erupts so I think there's something to that Internet outrage and I'm sure it makes people feel good. It makes me feel good whenever I do it, huh? Whenever I go to the reddit I gotta hit a dope. I'm honest. I get hit of dopamine that like saying hey your mom's calling she's upstairs dinner time I Did a lot of that over the weekend is very funny like understand up there for my entertainment so I think we should keep that in mind the outrage addiction an

08:07 Well, plenty of that go there didn't apparently the whole Bay Area is addicted. Yeah yeah yeah well this conversation has just kind of stopped this the Google memo it's just kind of over Well I don't know that was that last report was from Friday. No I know but its just in California It's just in California That was on NBC nightly news Yeah but its but the outrage is really only in California Now maybe yeah all I knows I don't alright I'm going to use this to transition because i have an outrage addict. Hold on a second, where's my outrage addict? Yes the outrage addict in question is Ana Navarro

CHAPTER 02 / 48 Discussion

CNN, Ana Navarro, Jeffrey Lord Firing

CNN contributor Ana Navarro is highlighted as a frequent presence on the network following the firing of Jeffrey Lord. Lord was terminated after tweeting "Sieg Heil" in a satirical exchange, which the network characterized as a Nazi salute. Critics argue Navarro represents a specific type of Republican favored by liberal media outlets while maintaining a consistently hostile demeanor on air.

cnn· ana navarro· jeffrey lord· nazi salute· republican party

08:54 Then God and it was it was really it was we were taken aback You know, yes I want to mention that when you sue I don't watch CNN that much but when I see watching this She's on almost all the shows. Yeah Well, she's a Republican so she's the root. She's the voice of the Republic. How is he the Republican? Yes, she's the Republican This is the same scam The Washington Post pulls with their very similar very similar, you know I'm a Republican or guys would say I wouldn't say at this point PBS NewsHour with Brooks the same thing is these are not Republicans but she's kind of when you see that panel you see her and she has a kind of like a dark glow around or if you can imagine she's our glow sounds racist

09:36 Well, she's got this like it's like smoke or something. She doesn't look like a happy camper ever and stands out. Well she's going to be on more now that CNN fired Jeffrey Lord Yeah The punching bag the only job he was really good at that was crazy what did he do? He took a punch. He said something, I guess he posted... He said Sieg Heil in response to somebody's long-winded essay and they kept calling it the Nazi salute when he just said Sieg Heil is like really two words not that anybody making a physical salute but that's what they kept calling it right and it had to do with him

10:19 It was kind of satirizing this guy's essay. And that was it, he's fired you're out! This does not fit within CNN's... Oh and I want to mention by the way, go back to that clip we just played about Google, I did wanna mention this. I've gotten a number notes from Googlers and they say there is no such thing as a code of conduct at Google He didn't violate any code of conduct. There is no code, where's the written code of conduct? I don't know but i think you have to send an email to hr at google dot com and see if one exists. A couple months from now get a file find out so let's listen to this conversation it's about obviously about charlottesville and the president not denouncing

CHAPTER 03 / 48 Discussion

Charlottesville, Ana Navarro, Media Narratives

Ana Navarro and other commentators debated the events in Charlottesville, Virginia, focusing on President Trump's refusal to explicitly name white supremacists in his initial statement. Discussion centers on the "dog whistle" rhetoric and the physical violence between alt-right groups and counter-protesters. Questions are raised regarding the specific details of the car attack and whether the media narrative accurately reflects the sequence of events leading to the tragedy.

charlottesville· ana navarro· white supremacists· antifa· car attack

11:07 white supremacists and Nazis and hate groups in alt-right and fault right, you name it. But listen to Navarro when I forget the other guy's name is unimportant just a little unimportant guy who was representing the right that he interrupts briefly and she just you know the outrage and that you can just feel the dopamine flowing now this speech today was shameful. Here is the bottom line, this was not many sides. This is one side it's white supremacists trying to instill terror in the streets of America what I saw last night was a Ku Klux Klan march without the hoods It was a bunch of you know white supremacist holding torches chanting out against

11:53 and chanting out, you know about white supremacy. And the president of the United States because he does not want to antagonize anybody in his base let us be clear does not have the spine, does not have that courage, does not have the leadership to call this out by name and that is shameful. No Ben, Ben, Ben lemme tell you this He has more capable of calling out Mitch McConnell. Ben, let me tell you something... He's a lot more capable of calling out his own attorney general. He is a lot more capable, in the last 24 hours he has been calling out Mitch McConnell but he doesn't have the spine or guts to call out white supremacists committing domestic terrorism in America today and I am not going to defend that, I don't care what party he is. Should the person who was driving into the car killing people should that person also be condemned?

12:51 Absolutely. And he didn't do it! He's a cop! Ben, hold on Anna. Hold on Anna let me just make sure the facts are out there. Anna hold on. Not what happened with the plowing of the car Both sides today- The person who was driving the car should be condemned The other people that were involved in the violence as well Both sides today became violent We see it on video No no no That is the issue here. We don't know that they were on different sides. But listen, it is so You can't say that this is both sides of violence. What we saw was white supremacists and then what we saw were some brave people risking their lives and putting themselves in between white supremacists, you know? And what they were doing so we saw white supremacists initiate this action try to bully those people

13:38 and still fear, and we saw brave people there in Charlottesville standing against them. That is- you cannot equate both sides! This was not many sides today it was not many side today it was white supremacist and what the United States said by trying to deflate as many side when he's first send a dog whistle yes dog whistle so that's dopamine flowing right there He's having a good time then by your theory. She's feeling great I do have a Charlottesville clip which had which brings up a bunch of points, okay? And I wanted and mentioning the guy in the car who rammed into a bunch of people and then smashed into a car It was a couple things when you when you listen to this my Charlottesville clip Yeah When you listen at which is one of the networks, I think it's not sure it says that the end perhaps anyway

14:35 Couple of things that aren't covered who was this guy running into was he on the one side or the other? This kid in this little report here that you just played it makes it sound like he was on the anti Antifa yeah group. Yeah Which I believe could be. Could be. The guy was talking about naming names and calling people out, what was this guy's name? Yeah that's well you know we've been waiting for some proof although multiple people have been put on television as suspects just plaster your face to your name up there And it's odd that it's taking a long time, unless something has happened now being show day. Maybe we do know for sure. I heard multiple versions. There was on the face bag for awhile... Why aren't these big network hot shots telling us?

15:29 Yeah, whatever's going on it doesn't fit the narrative. And why didn't CNN not tell us? Why didn't Navarro name this guy? Because I think the narrative doesn't fit what I understand might have gone down is that this guy was attacked in his car and he was being beaten, his car was being beaten and then hit the gas That's one story I've heard So that would certainly not fit the narrative. Nothing fits the narrative, so let's play this Charlottesville clip and then you'll find another little interesting tidbit here which I'm getting annoyed by it but it's also very interesting how they're doing it there's a little propagandistic stuff they're doing.

CHAPTER 04 / 48 Discussion

Charlottesville, Robert E. Lee Statue, Media Terminology

Reporting on the Charlottesville protests focused on the efforts to remove a statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee. Media outlets like CBS News transitioned from using terms like "KKK" and "Nazi" to "alt-right," which some argue is a deliberate attempt to link the violence to White House figures like Steve Bannon. The use of the term "counter-protesters" is criticized as a vague label for groups including Antifa and Black Lives Matter.

charlottesville· robert e. lee· alt-right· kkk· cbs news

16:27 The violence included an apparent attack with a car on a crowd of peaceful protesters. At least one person was killed, this all took place a short distance from the University of Virginia which was founded by Thomas Jefferson President Trump addressed the crisis from his golf club in New Jersey We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred bigotry violence on many sides. Paula Reed has the latest now from Charlottesville and we caution you some of the video is graphic one person is dead and 19 injured after a speeding vehicle drove into a group of protesters marching peacefully through downtown Charlottesville

17:14 or did the person take it? 100%. There's absolutely no way. He was going so fast, he flew people like 10 feet and nailed those two cars forward This comes after a day of clashes between alt-right protesters and counter demonstrators earlier this morning For over an hour, demonstrators dispensed tear gas and threw water bottles with little interference from police The rally was shut down after the governor declared a state of emergency This event has been declared an unlawful assembly Police and tactical gear ordered protesters to leave the park. Controversial right-wing blogger Jason Kessler planned what he called a pro white rally here to protest Charlottesville's effort to remove a statue of Confederate General Robert E Lee from a city park Friday night fights broke out and police had to be called after

17:58 Alt-right protesters marched through the University of Virginia campus swinging torches. Charlottesville Mayor Mike Signer said they were ready for the protesters. There are tons of outsiders coming here who've traveled all across the country to try and make Charlottesville a target for their ideology In July, about three dozen Klan members came to the city to demonstrate. Mayor Signer says the actions of a few will not stop his city from moving forward We've taken on the right work here in this historic city I refuse to be intimidated by somebody who thinks we can stop that work, we can stop changing the narrative just because i'm going to shout and yell and send you a bunch of nasty tweets and open carry in your public parks. You know what? I find it nice touch...I am just realizing that the car was a Dodge Challenger which is the same as the General Lee in The Dukes Of Hazzard Yeah That's all-that was also a Dodge Challenger yeah Nice touch

18:59 If it was painted orange, I'd have been a little more... Still a nice touch. All right, heard a couple things here again What I found most interesting and that's why started the show off that way is the term counter demonstrators or counter protesters That's a whole new name for a group that has multiple names already And we're carrying their signs and carrying their colors. I mean this was Black Lives Matter. I saw that I saw Antifa Just to call them counter demonstrators or counter protesters, a bit of a stretch. Well the other thing that I noticed is what CBS did is they started to report out with KKK and Nazi

19:44 was a neo-Nazis and KKK, neo-Nazis, KKK. And then when they start to... When they do the on the site report to stand about there she starts saying alt right, alt right, alt right. Right so that's a nice... Then at the end it's the whole reported is with all right in KKK and they're trying to make an association here because because today the idea is as to blast Bannon Bannon is alt-right, he's right in the White House. No no, Bannon has to be disavowed! Yeah he should be and Bannon is alt-right and so he's KKK and neo-nazi and Breitbart which actually provides some very unique reporting that's accurate they're all right and thus they are KKK and neo-Nazis

CHAPTER 06 / 48 Discussion

Free Speech, LARPing Protesters, Police Inaction

The Charlottesville clashes are characterized as a brawl between "LARPing douchebags" from both sides equipped with GoPro cameras. While the right to express unpopular opinions is a core American value, the escalation to fatal violence changed the nature of the event. Concerns are raised about why police allowed multiple hostile groups to occupy the same space and the lack of investigation into the specific motivations of the participants.

free speech· larping· gopro· civil liberties· charlottesville

22:06 So we took them to court because they were discriminating against our First Amendment rights based on the content of our speech. A federal judge ruled that that was the case, it was a federal judge who put the permit back in place. both sides. And he saw that the Charlottesville City Council and city government had granted not one, but two permits to left-wing protesters, anti-Black Lives Matter in the same area within one block there were two spots on either side. So they already created an unsafe environment by doing that.

22:48 But their number one intention was not people's safety. It was trying to disrupt the alt-right. Interesting that ACLU helped get them there Yeah, well it's not unusual No its not unusual Here is the only thing I really have to say Regarding the entire thing at a meta level We used to let people like this Like the KKK with or without hoods whoever by the way nice touch the torches. I gotta say It's nice nice little addition to the visuals good job we just stand there and laugh out of them because I will still say that I don't like what you say, but I will defend your right to say it and

23:34 And if you just let these douchebags walk around, say whatever they have to say and then let them go then it's fine. But instead we have now the call to arms of heroes as Ana Navarro calls them who come up in battle gear and... It really doesn't matter who started what, although I have a feeling how it did start. And then you get this brawl which would've been nothing...it would've been a minor blip because the footage was the same over and over again A bunch of LARPing douchebags on both sides with GoPro cameras on their helmets Come on! What are you fucking doing? Just making a mess of stuff

24:16 But when you get people dying, now it's a whole different ballgame. And sadly your M5M media just jumped on this to go back to the Hitler white nationalist racist theme and it is so incredibly prevalent Then it's, to me it's annoying. It's boring and you read things like how come the police didn't just go kick their asses? Because you have a right to say stupid shit in America You have a right that's why we're doing this show If you have a right to say stupid shit and shit that people don't like I think you can drop the word shit over and over But that's what it is That's what it is And this is not being discussed

25:03 It's like, you know how did it... why? Okay here is what not being discussed. How did this happen I think we have an idea it's a bad idea to have multiple groups of protesters in the same area at the same time where you should just let them laugh and look whatever douchebags are doing because they're really not buncha dangerous guys except that vehicle can be a bad thing but more importantly Where is the conversation about why Who are these guys And girls, I guess. Is it only men? Is it only men? I saw some women there... But who are they?! What's their problem!? What is their problem??!! I'd like to see some of that! So that's just not there and quite honestly, I would-I'm very happy to see federal troops come in and anywhere where there's alt right Anywhere there's KKK or white nationalists pick them up throw him in jail You know why? Because I can't wait to see who's next That's why I can't wait

CHAPTER 07 / 48 Discussion

Ruben Gallego, Donald Trump, Racism Allegations

Arizona Congressman Ruben Gallego accused President Trump of being an "absolute racist" during an MSNBC interview, citing his history of birtherism and comments about a Mexican-American judge. Gallego argued that Trump hesitates to condemn white nationalist terrorism while reacting instantly to Islamic extremist attacks. The discussion also touched on the divide between the popular vote and the Electoral College in the 2016 election.

ruben gallego· donald trump· racism· electoral college· msnbc

26:00 Pick him up, throw him in jail. Fine Just listen to this This is MSNBC Arizona Congressman Gallego I think his name is? Okay so Gorka is a known Nazi?! This is news to me. It's Gallego, by the way. Gallego? At least in Europe he's a... That's a pretty big statement to call someone a known Nazi! And you should call for investigation of these alt-right groups as well as the Nazis that are involved You're right there it is, the alt-right groups. It's the alt-right media that has to be destroyed through the Department of Justice. That's a good example. You made a statement where you said the president was an absolute racist and we were talking

26:53 in direct reference to the fact that he has not come out with any type of condemnation for the attack of a mosque. that happened just last week. It's not just that, again it is a history of statements and actions this is the man who started or helped accelerate conspiracy theory against the first black president of United States. This is the man who said that a Mexican-American judge could not be impartial because he was Mexican American and this person always seems to hesitate when it comes to white nationalist terrorists on other Americans or other people of color, but seems never to hesitate in terms of combination when it comes from the opposite end. Whether it's a Muslim person of color attacking a white person or church or anything of that nature. Look how quickly he acted and jumped on the London attacks within minutes. But when there is an attack on his own soil... Well you can't even attack the Muslim elected mayor. Right. The Muslim mayor. When its on our own soil, he somehow finds a way

27:55 And that really tells me a lot about what the character of this person is. But if the president won, and won the electoral college, won this White House are you missing the boat on what the sentiment of many Americans around this country feel? and are emboldened by in a representation of the Trump White House. Well first of all, the electoral college does not represent the population of United States to pop or vote represents the population of United States Hillary Clinton won that by almost 3 million votes. There you go! She's the president because of the electoral college. I know but that and you know bucks could get you a cup of coffee somewhere cheap But if we're actually going to say it... They won the white house And their tactic won Doesn't that concern you?

28:32 that there is an emboldened part of this country that feels that they have somebody that has their back, that will allow something like this to take place? Oh absolutely. It absolutely concerns me and it-and this is why it's important that leaders or so called leaders like President Trump need to come up and say no you are not emboldened. You're not accepting we're not accepting your racism your bigotry That is not part of the American values And the American people do not think this way. Even majority of Donald Trump voters do not think this way, it is a very small xenophobic sector of largely men that are largely unemployed probably living in their parents' basement that are finding a way for them to actually be socialized and feel like they're important but in the end they are the judges of American society and once you know the page turns they're gonna go back to being obscure and lost and forgotten. There ya go

CHAPTER 08 / 48 Discussion

Sebastian Gorka, Nazi Allegations, Nita Lowey

White House advisor Sebastian Gorka faced intense criticism from Democratic lawmakers and media outlets who labeled him a Nazi sympathizer. Representative Nita Lowey called for an investigation into Gorka's alleged ties to Hungarian far-right organizations despite admitting a lack of concrete evidence. Supporters defend Gorka as a proud American citizen and a staunch opponent of radical Islam.

29:22 My question has been answered. I know who these guys are, they're sad individuals in their mom's basement. This uh for weeks though i'm gonna read from town hall For weeks the left has been waging an all-out assault on Sebastian Gorka Deputy assistant of President Trump and member of the National Security Council The attacks have been printed in media across the internet And promoted by democrat lawmakers on Capitol Hill You just listened to one York is an immigrant from communist Hungary and a proud American citizen, staunch opponent of radical Islam and political correctness that feeds it because of his position in addition to his father having fought against the Communist government in his former country. The left has classified him as a Nazi. Many have also called for citizenship to be stripped

30:10 That's good. Can you report that? Can you just click a report button for someone citizenship to be rescinded? Well, they should. They should. Democrat Congresswoman Nita Lowry and many of her many like her have Piled on the false attacks and character assassination she's done so despite admitting She has no evidence to prove that Gorka is an anti-semite or as ever Affiliated with not a Nazi organization as many on the left claimed Anyway, goes on well so the problem. I have with this is now but now it's up to the media and you know what they're doing and And in this spills over into American culture because people do not understand how to parse media Which is what we've been kind of trying to do? I guess for a decade or so oh It's time to kind of give up a little bit on it why because it's people don't are not interested

CHAPTER 09 / 48 Discussion

Social Media, Civil War Fears, Racial Tensions

A viral Facebook post from a woman in Austin, Texas, illustrates the growing fear of a second American Civil War fueled by the NRA and white militias. The post reflects a broader trend of extreme rhetoric on social media where users label the President a white supremacist. Conversely, some observers argue that the system is intentionally pitting different racial groups against each other based on "crayon colors" for political gain.

facebook· civil war· nra· racial politics· austin

31:06 Sure they are. No, they're not interested in hearing it. Listen to this from the face back- I don't think I can do the face back voice today... Maybe I can. Let me try. LET'S BE CLEAR! DJT is a white supremacist. He incited birtherism, caters to a movement of white nationalists who support his presidency, supports and caters to views that it is whites who are discriminated against, fosters racism with wild abandonment includes out-and-out racists like Bannon and Sessions in this administration. Tell the truth! This president is a divisive racist anti-semitic piece of trash expecting him to acknowledge and speak out against his own views is naive he will not

31:47 Then of course someone says thank you for speaking the truth heart emoji heart and heart emoji And she answers. This is the 60 year old woman in Austin as Steven just said I can't scream any louder. I really fear after today that we are headed for a civil war, that the GOP has not shut Trump down yet is terrifying starting with the festering NRA empowering an armed and hateful white militia the naked complicity of the GOP the clearly obstructionist GOP house Jew Kushner yes i said that She's a Jew, by the way. Guess you're wondering... So I guess you can say that You can say house Jew if you're a Jew

32:48 So this spills over into social media and it just becomes a cesspool. It is a cesspool. Actually, it was kind of funny on NBC they had a person live and there were couple of funny sound bites but you really couldn't hear him I tried to spice them up but this one... They got this guy on camera I thought it was funny what he said You're talking about Nazis? You're talking about the KKK? Oh sorry not that one here it is This one This is the one These gentlemen just came out and started grabbing one of the guys at the confederate flag And then became a big doggone melee out here I mean imma be honest with you I don't support all this left or right or whatever. I just believe that these people are being played by the same system that has been using it for years to pin Europeans and African people against each other on the basis of a crayon color." We're going to go up there and see what's going on in Banksy. I like that, yeah! I can see that perspective by the way. Me too! That's a black community will have that perspective

CHAPTER 10 / 48 Discussion

Media Strategy, Steve Bannon, Historical Foundations

The media's strategy following Charlottesville is viewed as an attempt to force the firing of Steve Bannon and Sebastian Gorka by associating them with hate groups. A segment on the Charlie Rose show discussed the religious and theocratic roots of American founding, which some commentators now link to modern alt-right movements. The event is seen as a seminal moment that solidified the "basket of deplorables" narrative in mainstream news.

steve bannon· charlie rose· theocracy· media bias· charlottesville

33:52 Here is NBC lashing out at the president. You're talking about Nazis, you're talking about the KKK, you're talking about white supremacists if you can't come out and easily and readily and quickly condemn that what can you do? know He, I think more than anybody else has a responsibility there to help all of us do but he is the responsibility to lead and try and get rid of that demon. Because Ted is absolutely racist So this what it is This is what we're going to be seeing in the next week for sure Is... More things that have to be denounced

34:43 I mean, the president really has to denounce everything. And I'm pretty sure that's why he... Well it sounds to me in the clip that I had that he was denouncing the situation but he wasn't naming names. He's gotta name names. No, it's not good enough we've been through this If he apologizes, it's not good enough if he had said, I denounced the KKK, I denounce the white nationalists then it would have been, oh! He didn't denounce the alt-right you have to denounce it and then after the alt right what's next? I denounce podcasters. Well then if he denounces them, how do you fire Bannon? He should fire Bannon! Yes but if you denounce them you have to fire him it'll just be denied... You have to denounc everything and everybody then. I think that's why he didn't do it well they're out to get Bannon apparently they're out to get Gorka I didn't know that until today really and

35:36 They're just trying to get rid of these guys. They want to get rid of sex because they figure that if they just keep getting rid of people they don't like... But the people who are on the street, the people who are on the street, they do not understand the overall strategy of the news media. They understand what they've been pumped up with and thats hate has no place in America then it must be beaten It must be arrested, it must be taken. That's what it is! It must be beaten down... These people are heroes You counter that and you go in and beat them up And your great, you did a great job of your counter-something That is the message here This is not America, and of course IT IS AMERICA

36:20 Witness the Charlie Rose show. America is exceptionally religious, has always been exceptionally religious compared to the rest of... Founded by people who were seeking religious freedom? Well that's one- that's a charitable way of putting it founded also by a theocratic cult of religious nuts. But yes! Theocratic cult of religious nuts That's it Who's this theocratic cult of religious nuts Is that explained? That's alt-right, white nationalist KKK. It's just you just put it in to put them all into one basket That's all put him into one big basket and it's done I don't see that changing this is this has done people have this was a seminal moment Yeah, it's pretty bad when someone drives into a whole bunch of people and kills at least one Well does now being called three I believe the two others were in police helicopter which is day wrecker for sure

CHAPTER 11 / 48 Discussion

Everett Piper, Academic Freedom, Ideological Fascism

Everett Piper, President of Oklahoma Wesleyan University, argued that modern academia has created a "monster" by teaching narcissism and victimization for decades. He characterized the current state of higher education as "ideological fascism" where students demand compliance rather than academic freedom. Piper asserts that the abandonment of objective truth in universities has led directly to the volatility seen in the public square.

everett piper· oklahoma wesleyan university· academia· fascism· narcissism

37:18 But if we're going to... Well, I know but they blame that. That gets blamed on the event The only blame is accurately described by the president of Oklahoma Wesleyan University. What's his name? Everett Piper Ben, he... I don't know what was he on. He was probably Fox or something It was a canned interview One of those like oh we gotta fill up some time so they threw it in there With Dana Perino who I think I pretty much cut out of the whole interview because she's horrible But here, so he's the president of this university and he has a different take on it. And here we go. Richard Weaver wrote a seminal work in 1948 It was titled Ideas Have Consequences and what was his point? Ideas have consequences they matter There is no such thing as a neutral idea Good ideas lead to good culture good community good corporations Good government good kids and bad ideas lead to the opposite Your grandmother said garbage in garbage out and she was right

38:19 My grandmother never said that. No, that is not your grandmother because that- No grandmother's ever said that! That's a computer term Yeah. Yeah your grandmother had no computers? She said the Chinese were stealing the toilet paper, that's what she said. Right away the guy is sketchy if he's gonna start throwing crap like that and telling me my grandmother said some computer thing... You might agree with his overall thesis though? I'm already against him for doing it Fair enough They're saying garbage in garbage out and she was right ideas have consequences And we've been teaching this narcissism and self-absorption We've been teaching victimization

38:57 for decades. Why are we surprised to see self-absorbed, narcissistic students who are being vengeful and demonstrating vice rather than virtue in the public square? I'm an academic this is my industry and i would claim that my industry created this monster We caused this problem again by the lousy ideas we've been teaching for several decades were getting lousy results right now on a public square on our colleges even in our corporations all of us Google story so no I'm not surprised to see the problem But what I do think we need to recognize is the degree of the problem. What we have right now is ideological fascism in the academy, in the ivory tower, in the colleges and universities rather than academic freedom. A fascist was a Roman bundle of sticks bound together so tightly it couldn't be broken and from that we get the word fascism And today if you don't comply If you're not one us

39:48 like I believe. If you're not going to say what i want you to say, your verboten and expelled we do not want you." And we do this all under the banner of tolerance it's like saying I can't tolerate your intolerance or hateful people It is self refuting at every turn academic freedom has been compromised because we've stopped teaching the objective standard of truth in the academy What is that? The objective standard of truth? Never heard that one before But I think he's right I think it makes you reply that this is, all of this comes from our...from academia. I think it comes from the system, the entire educational system. Academia usually refers only to the college level and up. Okay well of the whole system then what is the whole system called? The system? This... this system. This system it's called education systems. It's the education system that starts early and brings these kids up into the kids get to the point where they are now or they're telling those professors what to teach yeah it says you know that's a whole thing as endemic it's like the hole the hole its rotten

40:48 Yeah, I agree. But well, I recommend everybody... Academia has always been a little bit skewed. That's nothing new. It's only recently where it's gotten to the point of appears to be it's going to turn into wreckage but that's because I think if the students coming up The new ones, the new students. Yeah the ones that are causing the trouble, the ones that were at Evergreen, the ones that were screaming and yelling, the ones that want their space... That's what we're talking about these are the ones going out? Yes but I think they came up because of academia which he kind of implies. So they came into academia and they were catered to is that what you're saying? Yes exactly! And i think that's still what we've agreed on before yeah so

CHAPTER 12 / 48 Discussion

Economic Cycles, Social Media, George Soros

A comparison is drawn between current social unrest and the era of the Great Depression, suggesting that the U.S. is nearing the bottom of a long-term economic and social cycle. While social media "amps up" the conflict, the underlying issues are seen as recurring historical patterns. Some speculate that the influence of figures like George Soros sustains these tensions, while others believe the population is becoming increasingly susceptible to media manipulation.

great depression· social media· george soros· nbc news· economic downturn

41:42 I don't know. I think this, i think we're kind of lost. I don't see any way back from this then...I just don't see any way back? I think this is it? Yeah you know this yeah I'm glad you feel that way but I feel everything's totally the opposite really Yeah, because this is a cycle. This has gone on before we're in the depression that started in 2008-2009 and during the Depression era which includes the 30s where you had all kinds of crazy stuff going on including an attempted coup of Roosevelt we've talked about on the show by the Democrats, as a matter of fact. The Democrat business people and this was going on in the 70s when he had Nixon and Watergate and all the rest of another downturn And this is just the end of it and we're approaching probably the last few years of this and it's gonna look the worst at the bottom This reminds me what I've discussed before But that's not a fair comparison John It's just not We didn't have

42:40 with Roosevelt, with the coup or the depression we didn't have social media and asocial people. We didn't have that. We didn't... I think it's social media amps it? I'm not denying that but it's beyond amping it. You get to do this show over a network of internets and you get to read from that crazy woman in Austin face bag stuff. Yeah, you couldn't do that before but there was plenty of it. Excuse me look at where we are with last time I checked we're not NBC nightly news were podcast people still watch news people still read USA Today this is what determines how people think

43:23 Yeah, but the people is... What was the age? Give me the age of that woman whose face bagged post it. 60. She's 60. That is right in the strike zone of NBC nightly news They don't cater to anybody under sixty and they're same for all the news media All you have to do is look at their advertisements I know but how would.. I mean You know how works this flows onto social media Social Media picks up thats where kids see the headlines they read They dont even read articles we know this I mean, look at the Google memo. People who commented the way they did hadn't actually read it so that's the problem. How is that different? Different than what? You think... wait a minute you could tell me in the 30s people were pouring over their literature and documentation and they weren't just reading these crazy... Okay alright John fine. Crazy red... Hey! You know what its great after your predicted year of demise then everything will be back to normal No it doesn't go right back to normal changes are little bit

44:18 But this is bullcrap. Once Soros dies, this thing will probably stop immediately? I don't think so. Okay well fine... I'm seeing a population of retarded people right now in my own country So what have you done over the weekend that was like so depressing Nothing. I'm really, I don't know what to say! I'm just kind of dumbfounded. I'm very tired of the Hitler stuff. Go read Garden Of The Beast people and tell me how it applies today This movie has been done before Well i would say that you dont have hitler anymore in Germany Oh no? Merkel

CHAPTER 13 / 48 Discussion

German Salute, Smoking Bans, European Union Regulations

The history of the "Hitler salute" is traced back to an American invention originally used for the Pledge of Allegiance before being adopted by the Nazi regime. In modern Germany, strict regulations continue to govern daily life, including a court-ordered smoking schedule for residents in Dortmund. These rules, often attributed to European Union mandates, extend to the height of garden gnomes and the use of vacuum cleaners.

germany· hitler salute· smoking ban· dortmund· european union

45:09 And the Germans aren't as bad as they were during that era where you had to salute with that American salute, by the way which was invented by I forgot the guy's name. But that particular salute was an American invention it was used when we gave the the Pledge Allegiance, as you know. And apparently Hitler saw this salute and thought it was great. Seriously! Thought it was great and adopted it and then pretty soon before all was over he had actually had the military instead of they had a normal salute, military salute they stopped doing that And they all had to do the same Hitler, so Zieg Heil salute that we talked about earlier in the show. All you're doing is just accentuating my point because we clearly are a bunch of hit the Hitlerjugend here in America. They took our salute...

45:55 They did. Well, let's take it well as okay now I think I have some sort of obscure German clip here about that guy from a new show on tracking was even find it. I think is smoking in Germany and I don't see any evidence if you listen to this clip that the Germans are anything like they were during the Hitler era. Most people expect to be free to do what they want and the privacy of their own homes right? in Dortmund were recently banned from smoking on their own patio. Germany is known for stipulating rules for just about everything, from the height of garden gnomes to when you can use the vacuum cleaner but for the Daus in Dortmund who say they only indulge in the occasional cigarette a partial ban on smoking on their own premises is a rule too far. Enjoying a smoke on your own terrace? That's not so easy for Dirk Dove of Dortmund

46:53 As noon approaches, he has to quickly get in his last few puffs or face jail time. The Dortmund Regional Court has ruled that Dover and his wife may only smoke tobacco in their own yard according to a strict timetable for three hours at a stretch We can't smoke from noon to three, but from 3 to 6 we can. Then we're banned from six to nine and allowed again from 9 to 12 on a 24-hour basis even at night. I can set the alarm for three sit out here and smoke till 6am. You're right doesn't suck. Okay that's the wrong example. I think i misclicked that one.

47:41 No evidence whatsoever. That, by the way is not Germany that's the EU that's the European Union with a with the height of the garden gnomes and this story was little discombobulated well we have that in America as well you can't do you can't smoke on the balcony here in in the building wherein they can't smoke on the balcony no no smoke-free building Yeah, my thing I think you should just change the edibles Are you high again John did you?

CHAPTER 14 / 48 Discussion

Angela Merkel, Martin Schulz, Electric Vehicle Quotas

German Chancellor Angela Merkel campaigned in Dortmund, warning against the "demonization" of diesel engines following the emissions scandal. Her rival, Martin Schulz, proposed a quota for electric vehicles, aligning with broader European Union goals. Merkel expressed skepticism regarding the feasibility of such quotas, though she remains ahead in the polls for the upcoming September election.

angela merkel· martin schulz· diesel scandal· electric cars· dortmund

48:18 I also have a German clip. We're coming up on the election in September and it's Schulz versus Merkel. German Chancellor Angela Merkel's re-election campaign is underway, speaking in Dortmund on Saturday she promised economic stability and ripped into executives from Germany's auto industry pressing them to secure jobs through innovation and win back trust lost by a diesel emissions scandal The sector is the country's biggest exporter and a huge employer. By the way, she says I don't really believe that the quota for electric cars has been well thought out. I mean what are our steps being? We would negotiate for ages in Europe as to what the quota should be and in the end what we do if it's not being adhered too. It was her main rival Martin Schulz who suggested the quota of electric vehicles

49:11 Merkel has warned against demonizing diesel and petrol cars. She says we need them, but we have to shift faster to new technologies. Merkel is far ahead of her rivals in the polls The election takes place on September 24th when Merkel is seeking a fourth term in office I think she just put her foot in it This is a big problem While German industry And certainly people who work in it will be very interested in her message about not just killing off diesel engines and other combustion engines, and putting more thought into what the ultimate goal and the success rate would be of electric vehicles. Schultz is all-in on the EU message. This guy's gonna win! There's no doubt about it. The EU will NOT allow Angela Merkel to get in with an anti-electric vehicle platform. No way.

50:04 That's an interesting clip. Yeah, it's too bad they mixed it really weird there at Euronews because you could barely hear the voiceover but yeah I've been...it comes down to the vehicles which is a big part of their industry. Yeah politically correct as electric. Of course it is and that's what Schultz who was already in EU shill was running on right very smart. And I think the German public has always been this sucker for these sorts of politically correct arguments. I mean, that's why you use of plastics and packaging is really minimal there because the evils of plastic and wind power is a big deal. No well being wind period... That's a big deal because it's failed and everyone's paying through the nose now for their energy. Yeah, It'll be interesting to see how that works out. Well she's not a dummy!

CHAPTER 15 / 48 Discussion

Vladimir Putin, US Embassy Payroll, Diplomatic Expulsions

President Trump responded to Vladimir Putin's expulsion of 755 U.S. embassy workers by thanking him for helping to reduce the government payroll. Trump stated that the reduction would save the United States a significant amount of money and that there was no need for the workers to return. The media criticized the remarks as being overly supportive of the Russian leader during a period of high diplomatic tension.

vladimir putin· donald trump· russia· diplomats· payroll

50:56 Maybe she is sensing a kind of blowback and she's going to write that. This is a total setup, it doesn't matter if she wins or not but guaranteed Putin will mess with this election. Guaranteed! You already know what's gonna happen. Without doing anything he's messing with her already. That's right, he doesn't have to do much then he'll just be messing with it And then whoever wins it will be because of Putin. I loved the president's quote about the firing or the sending, was it 750 diplomats? Quote unquote diplomats in the embassy sending them home from Russia and here is Trumps quote. 755 workers from our embassies.

51:46 No, I want to thank him because we're trying to cut down on payroll. And as far as I'm concerned, I'm very thankful that he let go of a large number of people because now we have a smaller payroll. There's no real reason for them to go back. So I greatly appreciate the fact that they've been able to cut our payroll for the United States. We'll save a lot money. That's kind of like when you have a down round and, you know your business. You have to fire employees that was really good. We needed to contract our payroll and yeah we're so happy actually that we had it down round Of course the media picked up on that as dead serious and supportive Putin by Trump again I gave up on trying

CHAPTER 16 / 48 Discussion

Rona Graff, Trump Gatekeeper, Russia Investigation

Congressional investigators are seeking to interview Rona Graff, Donald Trump's longtime personal assistant and "gatekeeper" at the Trump Organization. Graff is known for printing out emails for Trump, who notoriously avoids using a computer. Investigators hope she can provide insight into the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting with Russians, although she has not been accused of any wrongdoing.

rona graff· trump organization· email· russia investigation· abc news

52:31 One of our producers sent a little ISO from his 20 year old millennial. That's the load of horseshit! I liked it for some reason. Not bad, sounds like they're from Georgia So we have a new player in the great... In the melodrama that plays out about the Trump administration I didn't even, I think I've heard her name once maybe during the campaign and then all of a sudden she's this new character. I didn't know she was this important. I thought we had Chief of Staff and all this other stuff going on trying to minimize the open door policies so people keep going in and out on Trump but play this Trump and Rona.

53:17 There is a new twist in the Russia investigation. ABC News is reporting that congressional investigators now want to talk to President Trump's longtime assistant, a woman considered to be his gatekeeper and they want to know what she may know about that meeting with the Russians at Trump Tower. Here's ABC's David R- I have her phone number this is long term assistant Yeah If I have her number, we can call her. Yes, call her and ask if this is bull crap. Tonight congressional investigators tell ABC News they are eager to talk with the woman who's been Donald Trump's gatekeeper for nearly 30 years. He asked me to call you... Rona Graff seen here on The Apprentice, her official title senior vice president of the Trump Organization trusted with his schedule and much of his correspondence although a

54:04 apparently not aware of the president-elect's first intelligence briefing. Nobody knew, not even Rona my executive assistant for years she didn't know I didn't tell her Her name mentioned in that initial overture to Don Trump Jr promising high level and sensitive information from Russian government sources about Trump's opponent Hillary Clinton. I can also send this info to your father via Rona the email concludes but it is ultra sensitive so wanted to send it to you first. We're also going to want to see as reference in that email whether the president's assistant received any communication from the Russians. Graf is not accused of any wrongdoing, but investigators hope she may be able to shed light on what her boss may have known. The Trump organization says no one has reached out to her yet

54:57 And David Wright joins us now from near the president's New Jersey estate. Rona Graff has been called the president's right hand, David. He she notoriously he notoriously does not use email she has been known to print those emails for him so David what are investigators looking for? Well, Cecilia that's right. For all his fluency on Twitter the president is not much of an email guy and we're told that she would print emails out for his review and response so investigators are hoping she might be able to provide some additional insight into his communications as you know they're casting a wide net. They certainly aren't another twist in this investigation David thank... Okay but we found somebody

55:39 Rona. Rona. Anybody in New York media knows Rona That's really good. So they're trying to tangle her, but then of course report that no one has even talked to her But the news media is all over this or you're kind of slam it slandering her in some funny way She knows too much and it also I think it's the plant in the mind of the listeners that oh there's this other layer Lerona she's the real He must be very tiny if she's his right hand She's the, yes. Well he's got tiny hands so she has to be very small. So they have this gatekeeper and then they have the chief of staff who is a gatekeeper and then they have probably... but he has gotta have a couple other people working for him that are gatekeepers How does anybody get into his office? What do you think John? Will they get him out this term? No! The whole thing I'm going back to my thesis

CHAPTER 17 / 48 Discussion

VIPS Report, DNC Hack Forensics, Guccifer 2.0

A report by Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS) claims that the 2016 DNC data breach was a local leak rather than a remote hack. Forensics on the file transfer speeds—averaging 22.7 megabytes per second—suggest the data was downloaded to a physical storage device within the Eastern Time Zone. The findings challenge the official narrative that Russian hackers or "Guccifer 2.0" were responsible for the theft.

vips· dnc hack· william binney· guccifer 2.0· the nation

56:39 The whole thing is not to get him out, it's to get Democrats in. And you can't get Democrats in unless you have a bogeyman so they push prop him up as a horrible guy and they cant' get him out. We don't have enough Democrats if you put more Democrats then we'll get them out They will put more Democrats in So the Democrats will be in and still won't be able to get him out because oh he...we cant get him out because these..We just dont have enough Democrats and should get more Democrats in You need to be a Democrat And by then it's 2020 and now they can say, we couldn't get him out. The only way to get him out is you got to vote him out! And here's Tom Hanks or Franken in the underwear. They're not going to get him out. It would ruin the whole scheme amidst all this new report came out from the VIPs that is the group of former intelligence officers

57:38 Did you hear about this report? No, I don't know anything about this. It's pretty detailed and it specifically they did forensics on the DNC hack then there must be three or four different articles in a long... A long report titled Guccifer 2.0 Game Over 6 Months In And what does the VIP actually stand for? It's like Intelligence Personnel hmmm..I'll find it Anyway, they've done some forensics and they've determined that no way could this have been Russia. Former NSA intelligence officers are saying there was no hack of the DNC system last year but instead it was a leak and they claim hard evidence proves it published this week in The Nation. The link article details for the first time what the experts call

58:27 evidence in the case. Their results? There was no hack of the Democratic National Committee system on July 5th last year, not by the Russians and not by anyone else! Hard science now demonstrates it was a leak...a download executed locally with a memory key or similarly portable data storage device after analyzing analyzing the transfer rate of the alleged hacked material. The experts found that transfer times of files would simply be impossible without someone being actually in the DNC building. According to a report on July 5th, 2016 1,976 megabytes of data were downloaded from the DNC server. This operation took 87 seconds. This produces a transfer rate of 22.7 megabytes per second

59:19 In 2016, no internet service provider would have had the speed capability to enable a hacker to download those files. Further proving that it would be impossible for Rucifer to have run the so-called hack from Romania because the findings suggest there would've been delivery over Overheads which would slow down the speed of a hack even from the maximum achievable speeds The article states time stamps in the metadata indicate that download occurred somewhere on the east coast of the United States Not Russia Romania or anywhere else outside of the Eastern Time Zone. So what they put their analysis further suggests is that Podesta et al made up Guccifer 2.0 as the Russian cover-up, didn't he actually have a back and forth or one email with Guccifer? I don't remember that. But they came up with Guccifer 2.0 as a cover

1:00:12 For this that's a pretty good idea. That's pretty advanced and I like that that makes sense to me It's pretty advanced for a Podesta or wasn't goose for one dot o thrown in jail Yeah, he was he was jailed yes So they needed the second one they needed it a tie-in and then you just go get goose for oh two dot Oh hey? I know all the kids when they think looks cool And they have it too at version 2.0. I find it weird that WordPress allowed that blog to exist Yeah, yes we discussed that as odd for sure. So maybe there was something like that going on or some intelligence agency was doing it as a cover for somebody else who knows? But yeah I mean it is a good idea you do that kind of thing and we discuss that on the show constantly Meanwhile its a mess at NSA according to William Binney

CHAPTER 18 / 48 Discussion

William Binney, NSA Culture, Disney Management Style

Whistleblower William Binney described the internal culture of the NSA as being dominated by "ISTJ" personality types who are easily intimidated by management. He compared the agency's "See Something, Say Something" internal programs to Stasi and KGB tactics. This is contrasted with a reported management style at Disney, where employees who report their peers for laziness are sometimes fired to maintain team homogeneity.

william binney· nsa· stasi· disney· myers-briggs

1:01:06 He's the whistleblower who first brought us, was it Stellar Wind? Is that the AT&T building in San Francisco? I can't remember which. Maybe...I don't know if it was Benny or the other guy who did that one. I know one of them both...there's Drake and there's Benny and there is another guy. Well he definitely wrote about the building on 2nd Street in San Francisco that just sucked up all the internet Didn't you think that was Benny? I think it was Benny, yeah. I'm pretty sure not Drake Okay well he was one of the anyway He was one of the heavy heavy hitter and Benny was a guy who the FBI busted into his house and put a gun to his head Yeah why not? Yeah He was at SHA 2017 is that some kind of security hacker conference

1:01:50 I don't know. Yeah, well here's what he said... We did a Myers-Briggs study of personal traits of people at... There's your Myers-Briggs that's our favorite there so they that's how they test people with NSA John we did it Meyers-Briggs study of personal traits of people working in NSA and... Oh that's terrible! ...1992 or something like that? And it turned out that 85% of them were ISTJs. So they're all introverts, you know? It's like these are the people who like to work in their desks, you know? I mean mathematicians are that way. They're very quiet people so look give me a pencil and I'll figure it out and go into court here is the answer! That's all they do but they're very easy to threaten those are kind of people you can easily threaten. And so really what has been going on inside NSA...I mean we have a program now called See Something Say Something about your fellow workers

1:02:36 I mean that's what the Stasi did. They're picking up all the techniques from the Stasi and KGB, and the Gestapo and SS. They just aren't getting violent yet that we know of. If you see something say something Now NSA version! I like using it internally. Eh...I don't know. I don't know if Benny is connected anymore or anyone even talks to him? It's possible. I mean, it would...I think most organizations are always looking for having their employees turn each other in. It's the best way! Yeah? It always works. Always. Well it works sometimes into different ways and different companies there is a story on this well pretty well documented that Disney operated this way where they would find a guy who was an example of some imaginary or one of the places in Florida guy

1:03:30 Sees it is one of his buddies working. There's just a lazy bum he's not doing anything and He just gets irked about this in turn turns the guy says guys are doing anything he's not Productive, and he's like goofing off is doing me And these turns the guy in as soon as he turns to guy in the guide The guy complaining is the one who gets fired because the theory at Disney is that you want a homogenous team whether they're doing anything or not, but you don't want guys turning each other in. You don't want this kind of guy in the company. This is a guy you don't want and you were actually kinda that way the way you manage even though you don't realize it. Is that now seen as positive? Well to Disney apparently its very positive and look at Disney they're not a company going out of business See there ya go

1:04:24 And so the see something, say something thing is maybe a trap. You're in the wrong company. So it's my advice to people working in a big company like that and you're just not a manager?

No Agenda Meetup, Sacramento Train Museum, Millennial Listeners

A "No Agenda" listener meetup was held at the California State Railroad Museum in Sacramento, featuring a train ride on the Zephyr. The event drew a diverse crowd, including a significant number of "woke" millennials who enjoy the show's critique of their generation. An Amtrak conductor even greeted the hosts at the station to deliver a donation and a birthday shout-out.

Al-Qaeda, Inspire Magazine, Train Derailment Threats

The latest issue of Al-Qaeda's "Inspire" magazine reportedly focuses on "train derail operations" as a new tactic for terrorism. This shift toward targeting subways and rail lines is noted as a significant security concern for Western cities. Critics suggest the magazine's high production value points to involvement by intelligence agencies like the CIA to signal future security theater requirements.

al-qaeda· inspire magazine· cia· train derailment· transportation security

1:16:38 For all those who went out to the train museum, thank you very much. Our formula is this... We go out we hit people in the mouth. Order! Shut up! All aboard trains good planes bad. Yeah it couldn't be any more coincidental John Do you have your big train meetup? And I was a little worried about stuff going on there You know could have been very dangerous and I didn't tell ya figured if I didn't tell you wouldn't be too worried. I have the clip

1:17:18 About inspire magazine no, no I have a different clip. Okay? Why don't you play your clip first it's not a clip I'm just gonna inform you of something okay there will be clips because I'm early on at this time The latest Inspire magazine, which as you know is a beautifully produced PDF magazine put together by Al-Qaeda. Published by the CIA right now Well this always gives us an indication of where we have to look too and what's happening in the future The latest issue headlined Train derail operations

1:17:55 Oh, yes. That's right the Al Qaeda are now switching to derailing trains subways and trains this is what it's going to be and remember our previous president saying imagine boarding a train in the center of the city no racing to an airport And across the terminal, no delays. No sitting on the tarmac. No lost luggage. No taking off your shoes." Ooh! Yeah... yeah sorry You're definitely gonna be taking off your shoes at the train and at the subway At the subway This is how they do it This is how its done So just watch They've been screening trains in Europe for the longest time Although as a pretty pathetic screen I'll have to say

North Korea, Sacramento Bombing Joke, European Fears

An NRA show host apologized after jokingly suggesting North Korea should bomb Sacramento instead of Guam. Meanwhile, media commentary continues to compare President Trump to Kim Jong-un, questioning who is a more "stable actor." Despite domestic rhetoric, reports from Europe suggest that citizens there are genuinely concerned about North Korean missile capabilities reaching over the pole.

north korea· sacramento· nra· kim jong-un· msnbc

1:18:42 Yeah, you just walk through a metal detector. Yeah, yeah to put your bags through sometimes and Disney I was like it's so inconsistent everywhere Well here's the one you play the Joker this is the way I thought you were gonna refer to play this Jokers suggests joker suggest oh okay here we go Well, a YouTube personality is now apologizing for his suggestion that North Korea should attack Sacramento. Grant Stinchfield hosts a show on the NRA website He's talked repeatedly about the seriousness of the North Korean threat last night he said let's send a note to North Korea that Sacramento changed its name to Guam

1:19:22 He later removed a tweet and told the Daily News it was met as a joke. I regret, I regretted what's going on with North Korea is no laughing matter several Sacramento residents weren't laughing about it either. And he goes on and on about a bunch of people in Sacramento go oh no they're gonna bomb us because of this guy! They're all in on this. I have a couple of North Korea stories, couple of clips that might want to just run through here for a second. Okay. First of all the war what this is really about as we've deconstructed China is saying hey were about ready to go to war with India over this Bhutan region there are skirmishes there's video now of skirmishes of Chinese and Indian troops kind of like wrestling

1:20:09 It's very odd. They're not shooting at each other, but it's like hey get out of here! Well they don't speak the same language, but you know... And then this wrestle with each other. But this will come to a head Let me see, I think the Indians are now encroaching on what China... This is all about the chicken neck region. You got to take a look at the map to see what's really going on and And I think more and more when I hear the president talk about oh man you don't want to know we're gonna do To me now with this in mind it's he's saying to China Look get everything all straightened out

1:20:53 Otherwise, you'll have the United States military on your border. We're gonna sit there on your border to take care of North Korea and obviously they don't want that." The whole North Korea thing is until Charlottesville was still blowing up and a couple of good ones will start off with Because of course, you know before we had Hitler come back in We need to compare the president to Kim Jong-un. That was obviously much funnier That's the problem today when we talk about stable actors and people that we can count on in all of this It's hard for me to believe that the people in Europe aren't looking at this situation today And who are they more worried about? That's actually an honest question In this time that we have The other thing he doesn't I think Donald Trump does He has no concept of history

1:21:43 You know, that's very interesting because I was just in Europe and people are very worried about Kim Jong-un and not about Donald Trump. So i don't know where he comes up with that but... He is making it up Well yeah this and that was MSNBC And why would they be worried about North Korea and Europe? Because they've been sent a missile over the pole. Remember I was just there and people are freaked out about it! I'm just asking why? Because they've been told to be afraid, hello? Hello? Theme of the show... Ben before you play the clip i'm reminded of what's going around Twitter I don't know if he got a clip but I couldn't find one

Brian Williams, Journalism Renaissance, Scaring the Public

MSNBC's Brian Williams and New York Times bureau chief Elizabeth Bumiller discussed a "renaissance in journalism" driven by the constant news cycle of the Trump administration. In a controversial clip, Williams stated that his job is to "scare people to death" on certain subjects to prevent casual talk about military strikes. Critics argue this admission confirms the media's primary role is fear-mongering rather than informing.

brian williams· msnbc· new york times· journalism· fear mongering

1:22:21 But it was a big kind of a retweet bonanza over this comment that Brian Williams said yes I've got the clip. You have to cut well, but I'm leading up to it Okay, see if this show were pre-produced then you wouldn't even ask this question Of course not exactly but first by the way by asking the questions as good done on no 45 seconds to the show So there's always content so damn long content Brian Williams on MSNBC had Elizabeth Bumiller? Is that the Washington DC bureau chief of The New York Times? I don't know who she is. Can you remember an era like this for the American newspaper and print journalism business? No, not in my lifetime You know as we all know the president refers to us as The Failing New York Times Of course

1:23:15 But you know, that it's been... I like him going of course. Not quite sure why he said that but it was funny well of course he refers to you are the failing New York Times! You know as we all know the president refers us is the failing New York Times and But, you know that it's been very good for the New York Times in one case because we feel a sort of renaissance of journalism. Oh! Renaissance in journalism John? Have you noticed this? Are your former journalist friends talking about the renaissance? They're retired. Is there no renaissance? I don't know if they maybe, maybe they're thinking that you need to ask. I need to know in case because it's been there we feel a sort of Renaissance and journalism and it's focused us on the mission of journalism and also there is just no lack of news. This morning I came into office and its August in Washington, the presidents on vacation Congresses out

1:24:13 There's always a certain scrounging for stories in August and you know by about four o'clock this afternoon that was we were we had our hands full. Another unbelievable day! Another unbelievable day at the New York Times Here is what everyone was tweeting about, unfortunately I don't have the lead in what he was saying before this A highly clippable event. Malcolm, our job tonight actually is to scare people to death on this subject so the talk isn't as free as it is That's right! Why did he say that? Did he mean to say something else

1:24:52 I think he meant to say that. Here's what, here's what i think the logic is... Let's listen one more time just listen it's 21 seconds Malcolm our job tonight actually is to scare people to death on this subject so the talk isn't as free as it is about a preemptive or surgical military strike So I don't understand we're not as free to speak as we typically would be about a potential preemptive military strike because it's our job to scare you. Very convoluted I think he meant to say it's not our job to scare you that's what No, no His job is to... No, I know what his job is!

1:25:30 Well, his job is to scare people because the way I think he's seeing it is that they're not going to pay any attention unless they're being scared. Because they've given up on their own public... The job is not to scare anybody. The job is to inform people and if they want to be scared by the information, it's up to them. That's the way I see the job of the anchorman. No, I know what's happening here. You know, Brian Williams is on MSNBC because he's a liar So he's decided not to lie anymore. Malcolm, our job tonight actually is to scare people to death on- Okay. It's the scare people to death by the way. Yes, to death! To DEATH! It's not just a scare peoples' it's scare them to death What kind of thing is that to say? I don't know And thats NOT THE JOB

1:26:15 I don't know. It's very bizarre. conservatives of the country who may be reading the Bible for all we know, but it's pretty much anyone that still reads a newspaper. Let's put it that way. Still reads the newspaper or still watches network news they tend to be kind of left-of-center and so you're just appealing to them I mean the whole thing is like this same marketing thing that the networks do about bought the over 60s so they can sell him drugs right? They're not doing that as an accident

Phil Mudd, Trump Assassination Metaphor, CIA Hostility

Former CIA official Phil Mudd made a provocative statement on CNN, claiming "the government's gonna kill this guy" in reference to President Trump. The comment followed Trump's joke about Putin cutting the U.S. diplomatic payroll. While potentially intended as a metaphor for political or professional destruction, the phrasing highlighted the extreme hostility toward the President within the intelligence community.

phil mudd· donald trump· cia· jake tapper· cnn

1:26:59 Is it possible that this is just an example of the truth always wants to come out and he just fluked out? And he didn't mean it. I do want to get back to North Korea. He meant it! You're right on one or wrong in the other, It was the truth coming out and he did mean it Well here's another example of this happening This is that douchebag former spook Catholic Inaction Philip Mudd Oh God. Yeah, Philip Mudd former CIA guy he's on with Jake Tapper and says this... And I think other people should press him for a better answer What was your response Phil Mudd? A couple surprises let me give you one bottom line as a former government official governments gonna kill this guy He defends Vladimir Putin their State Department and CIA offers are coming home and at Langley and in Foggy Bottom C.I.A. and state they're saying this is how you defend us That's pretty extreme What?!

1:27:56 He's talking about Trump? Yeah, listen again. And I think other people should press him for a better answer What was your response Phil Mudd? A couple surprises Let me give you one bottom line as former government official governments gonna kill this guy He defends Vladimir Putin their State Department and CIA offers are coming home and at Langley and in Foggy Bottom CIA and state they're saying this is how you defend us So this is what happened Jake we're in commercial right now We feel that maybe he should just call the president Oh, okay.

1:28:52 Yeah, just want to make sure you didn't mean actually kill him. And this was based on Trump's joke about cutting the payroll? Yep! So these guys are brain dead is what you're saying with this clip The truth wants to come out and he's saying that everyone is going to hate the president and they will kill him whether that is a metaphor I'm not quite sure what that would mean in a metaphorical sense. It's not a metaphor! Well, you kill him he means you fire him and get them voted out there are all kinds of ways to make it kind of a metaphor yeah isn't that great? Holy ma- I'll give you clip of the day for now. No i'l take it thank you And then final on North Korea this blew me away Thomas Friedman although he rambles

CHAPTER 25 / 48 Discussion

Thomas Friedman, North Korea Peace Plan, Denuclearization

New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman proposed a rational long-term strategy for North Korea involving a clear American peace offer. The plan suggests that if North Korea fully denuclearizes, the U.S. should offer full diplomacy, economic aid, and a formal end to the Korean War. This approach is intended to unite Russia, China, and South Korea against the regime if the offer is rejected.

thomas friedman· north korea· denuclearization· peace treaty· diplomacy

1:29:41 kind of said what we've been saying and even Uncle Don says about North Korea. Surprising! It seems to me the only rational long-term strategy of the United States is, one, deter the North Koreans by our own anti missile systems We're doing that, we've been doing that, we'll continue to do it effectively And tighten economic sanctions around them so they will stop testing these missiles and ultimately agree to a denuclearization deal I think the best way to go about doing that is by putting on the table a very clear American peace offer to the North Koreans. If you fully denuclearize and end your missile program, we will offer you full peace, full diplomacy, full engagement

1:30:25 economic aid and end to the Korean War. If you don't, we will tighten the economic sanctions and by putting this plan on the table, the entire world would see who is the person who is actually threatening the stability of the Korean Peninsula that then would keep Russia China, the Japanese and the South Koreans all on our side which will make the sanctions even stronger That's how you really mess up the North Koreans I like part of what he's saying. Uh, I wonder why he is saying it because he is a stooge Yeah And uh so that must be the word coming down that they are going to have to do this This may be what happens I mean Trump might end up being known as the guy who reunites the two Koreas But he has to give credit to Kim Jong-un according to my thesis but That would be such an egomaniac It will be hard for him

1:31:23 Well, he could meet. Here's what he has to do taking a step further. He has to meet with Kim Jong-un. Yes that's all there is to it for sure and then they can charm each other as best they can and then they could do a handshake together and you know end everything it would be great every president refused to go do this even though it's the opportunity is there they just refuse to pick up that they just I don't know why because it's like the Cuba thing when Obama opened up Cuba everyone saw when in fact, It should have been done 20 years ago but no one had the guts to do it. Right? Well, yeah, well, I like what you're saying about this is what's coming down and why did he say it will I'm sure we'll see that unfold and talking about Why did anyone say something

London Bridge Jogger, Eric Belkist, Wrongful Arrest

London police arrested and subsequently released American investment banker Eric Belkist in connection with a viral video showing a jogger pushing a woman into the path of a bus. Belkist's lawyers provided "irrefutable proof" that he was in the United States at the time of the May incident. The media's decision to name Belkist despite his release is criticized as a "non-story" that unfairly besmirched his reputation.

london· eric belkist· investment banker· wrongful arrest· viral video

1:32:13 I'm wondering why this particular story rolled out when you listen to it carefully. This is the, you know that big deal over this jogger who's running along in London and some woman is standing waiting for a bus and he pushes her into the path of the bus! And almost kills her So let's play this story. This is the newest update. Thank you in London tonight an arrest making global headlines after this scene on a bridge, a jogger pushes a woman right into that bus it was all caught on surveillance footage. London police arresting an American investment banker tonight he is out but his lawyer says they had the wrong man here's ABC's James Longman

1:32:54 It's the viral video shocking the internet a jogger appears to push a woman in front of a London bus Look again at the man in the gray shirt He runs along the sidewalk straight into a woman walking. The other way She falls into the road the bus swerving to miss her just inches from her head if it hadn't been for very good reflexes on part of the bus driver or the level of force was such to push even further into the road, almost certainly this could have ended in a fatality. Tips pouring into police who confirmed they made an arrest Thursday in that May 5th incident and tonight attorneys for Eric Belkist an American businessman confirming he was arrested but insisting Belkist is not the jogger writing in a statement

1:33:39 Our client has been wrongly implicated in this matter. He categorically denies being the individual concerned and has irrefutable proof that he was in the United States at the time of the incident. Attorneys for Belkis not yet saying what that irrefutable proof might be, but police have confirmed they've released the man they arrested and no charges have yet been brought in this case. Cecilia? Okay James thank you back here at home... Okay so what's the deal with his story then Well, why is this guy been besmirched when the police let him go? He obviously had some evidence. They would have kept him or sent him out on bail or something they didn't arrest them so they accused this guy he gets picked up I guess in the UK now and says that wasn't even in the country and then has probably receipts from a ticket who knows what he had but then the police said okay go home So why are they running this story at all it's non-story

1:34:35 This is a non story that ended up besmirching this guy. They named it, they didn't have to name him? Something's fishy about this story and this guy Belkwist because if this is not a normal way you do these stories You just don't do the guy wasn't arrested he wasn't detained He was released I don't know how's it a story. I don't know but I don't know It's uh yeah, you heard the woman from The New York Times. It's hard to create the news every day Especially in August. By the way, this was not covered on the other networks that I know of. This is off ABC. James Alex Fields Jr., now according to The New York Times is indeed the driver. Boy they got a poster child now! Oh yeah? That driver? Oh my god. Give him a ticker tape parade. He did a good job. Must have been something to see. My goodness. Holy crap!

The driver in the Charlottesville attack, James Alex Fields Jr., is profiled by the New York Times as a quiet, fatherless youth with a "Nazi haircut." Separately, Adam Curry discusses his upcoming guest-hosting stint on InfoWars, which has drawn criticism from some listeners. Curry maintains that he is promoting "No Agenda" and interviewing serious guests like Charles Ortell rather than adopting Alex Jones' signature ranting style.

Oh yeah its great here this is Say no more well The New York Times does one of their famous What we know about James Alex Fields Driver charged in Charlottesville killing They got a great picture of him with his uh with his brown cockies on in Charlottesville and his white shirt, been his uh you know the haircut. Oh he's got a yeah you can not see your hair cut? Yeah he's got a Nazi haircut. Uh background Mr Fields 20 was born in Kentucky was living with his mother until five or six months ago this is great this perfect this guy follows the script when he moved to it did move into his own apartment

1:36:26 Mr. Fields father died before he was born so fatherless and perfect oh there you go yes, Mrs.. Fields mom bigger Hitler yeah I know this is a pant his aunt Pam fields said that he was a very quiet little boy and Once he kept to himself a lot mm-hmm He had some trouble in school making friends This is by the way this is this I get accused of being alt right now in case she hadn't noticed All right light or something they call you Yeah, then and but what's interesting is people who listen to the show are some people are very upset That I'm going to be a guest hosting on InfoWars on Wednesday

1:37:07 I have an anecdote about that. And the reason, and what I fail to understand is being a dude... You are promoting the biggest fake news alt-right outlet in the world! No, I'm promoting The NO Agenda Show and I'm not going to be sitting there reading news stories. I'm gonna be interviewing people of interest that we've lined up Charles Ortell i think is coming on you know we're gonna get some interesting people to talk to I'm not going to do what Jones does. You're just gonna sit there and rant and rave. So, so I am sitting around the table at the bar with a couple of guys... group

1:37:44 Yeah, and they were very happy. They one guy this great It's great that Adams gonna do the show on Wednesday And I said yeah, it'll be a lot of fun another guy says I don't know I think that guy I think Adam could actually take over the show I think Jones could be out well Jones is not gonna Be there just me no. I'm just saying he's what he said. I'm just telling you what they say okay? And then the third guy chimes in, he says Adam couldn't take over that show. The only reason people listen to Alex Jones is to hear those crazy rants they're great! That's what I said. Yeah, that's exactly right yeah, and can't do that no I'm not gonna do go on fire make these crazy screaming rants just not his style No And they guys all agree that when the guy said that he did they all agreed? Yeah you're right That's the reason you listen to Alex Jones for the crazy stuff. Yeah, yeah so yeah But it's I think generally speaking most people thought it was fantastic

1:38:43 No, I just had the one guy. No no no no no this is a group that was at the meetup The people actually care about the show sure okay? Yeah understand. I'm just saying in general But I'm getting a lot of What would people call attacks yes on being attacked you Being attacked I Twitter's. I think I got one of those notes haven't seen the Twitter stuff ice guy I want to know some of the guys who is very concerned and Yes, yeah, I saw that what you guys are gonna lose the audience if you continue on this path maybe No, no. Could be and would be surprising. We'll see we'll find out one way to find out do it yeah And besides the way I see it is this its Adam taking over the show to get a new listener base Yes A lot of people come over from Alex Jones and start listening to Noah Jenner that makes them feel a lot better yes, we had a number of people at The Meetup Would go on and on about this show being so important to them because it does One guy in Millennials a lot of them

1:39:44 Say, you know I was gonna. I couldn't I was going nuts yeah And then I started listening to Noah Jenner for a while. He says it's all bullcrap what am I getting myself all worked up mm-hmm? Yeah, that's good. I think just our general the audience and i think this is why people come to these meetups they you know want to say at least thank us yeah At the meetups for sure but then you know the force is very powerful John very very powerful And uh You do anything that was not on message and your you are deemed That's the new swear word you know alt-right oh it's just all right and this remember This started years ago

1:40:23 We had to come up with it with a counter name for all right the fault, right is my new one fault, right? Right called right hold right salt right salt right now carp, right, right old I don't want the control alt right. How about that one? The control all right, yeah. Control alt right. Yeah just throwing that in a lot Well with what you said i have to play a couple of clips now Okay Because there's some...I think demons have been released Demons have been released That's the only explanation I can have for these incidents okay Let's start with this one This is the unexplained hospital incident

CHAPTER 28 / 48 Discussion

Mysterious Illnesses, New Hampshire Hospital, JetBlue Fumes

A New Hampshire hospital was evacuated after staff members experienced sudden nausea and dizziness, though hazmat teams found no chemical leaks. Similarly, two JetBlue flights were diverted on the same day due to crew members falling ill from "strange odors" in the cabins. These incidents, along with reports of carbon monoxide leaks in Ford police vehicles, have led to speculation about environmental toxins or "demons."

new hampshire· jetblue· mysterious illness· hazmat· carbon monoxide

1:41:02 Thank you. Now to another story we're following, many questions waiting to be answered this evening about what caused a mysterious illness to spread inside of New Hampshire Hospital today the emergency forcing many patients and staffers to suddenly have to evacuate We get details from NBC's Ann Thompson A New Hampshire hospital where people seek help today needed help. In the main operating room, some staffers became nauseous in two different waves this morning. Dizziness, nausea, vomiting so all low acuity symptoms that they were

1:41:41 feeling. The lawn turned into an improvised triage area as firefighters evacuated and closed the operating room and the emergency room above it while searching for the cause of the trouble with no evidence of a liquid spill officials suspected a gas we've tested the area for several things In the chemical and it's all come back completely negative so far obviously the rumor got out. It's anesthesia gas We don't know that we don't know if there's a leak I mean is what a pick that carbon dioxide And we found zero fire officials called in the state hazmat team as neighboring communities rushed to help

1:42:17 to help. There's a lot of people from a lot of different towns coming to help get patients out, which I think is really great. A dozen staff members were taken to area hospitals none of the ailments were life-threatening others went home and their symptoms quickly subsided just what was in the air tonight is still a mystery Ann Thompson NBC News New York Wow! The demons Demons, demons are out. We're going to catch you! Now they tried to fly out with some of these demons and I guess that they had to turn the planes around play the JetBlue clip Oh my god You're on to something here John Next to trouble in the air two flights making unexpected landings within a few hours of each other both of them jet blue and both because crew members complained feeling sick possibly because of fumes in the cabin ABC's Gio Benitez has more

1:43:10 Tonight, mystery aboard two jet blue flights. You can't smoke gas right? Diverted on the same day. Yeah there's actually a motor in the aircraft. It appears to be a small piece I smell. A flight from Boston to San Diego landing in Buffalo firefighters boarding the plane. Two flight attendants and a pilot were taken to the hospital video shows one of them getting oxygen in the terminal some passengers reported headaches it was really traumatic anxiety riddled and terrifying. In South Florida, another strange odor forcing a flight from Fort Lauderdale to Barbados to make a U-turn three flight attendants complaining of headaches. They were all treated on site and Cecilia it's still not clear what caused the problems on both of these flights but passengers made it to their destinations and JetBlue is investigating.

1:44:07 Now on your Alex Jones show, they did a whole show once on Hillary smelling like a demon. She apparently smells like- Excuse me, would you mind refraining from saying on your Alex Jones Show book I read? Don't make the demon come out and make you nauseous John! I just thought those were weird stories Those are weird stories And I continue to receive notes from mechanics who are all on board with, oh yes no I've heard too from the Ford Motor Company that the problem is with the aftermarket add-ons on these police vehicles and that's why carbon monoxide is slipping in. Yet on the other hand I've got a lot of people with other Ford engines and other vehicles saying they have manifold and other exhaust issues on these motors, on these engines. I don't know why they're putting this off it's not going to be good for the Ford stock. I have one last demonstration... You know what? I've been looking at the Fords just briefly I've been looking at the Ford stock it's about 10 bucks

Narcan Stock, Lazarus Parties, Flatliners Movie

The stock price for Narcan, the opioid overdose reversal drug, has doubled recently, leading to speculation about its profitability. Discussion touches on "Lazarus parties" where drug users allegedly overdose and are revived for a thrill. Some suggest these stories may be a viral marketing "plug" for the upcoming remake of the movie "Flatliners," which features a similar premise of death and revival.

narcan· opioid crisis· lazarus parties· flatliners· movie marketing

1:45:04 And it did drop like we could have like a dollar on Friday. But the one that's really annoying is Narcan, Narcan turns out is a tradable stock and you know it doubled in the past week alone went from 10 to over 20 bucks we are idiots Well, you're the one that said it wasn't tradable so I never did any more research. I know! I'm an idiot! Okay... But it's on track to do $28 or so It'll probably go up and down Yeah Actually the sky is the limit seems to me with that maybe its still a good deal at 20 Well the Narcan stuff just transition briefly for a second

1:45:43 A lot of interesting feedback about this and most people say, are you sure? First of all again let me just bring this up. I have one of our No Agenda junkies hold on...I love our no agenda junkies they're so honest Let me just reiterate about these Lazarus parties because that's what we were talking about That which i think early on said maybe this is still some kind of promotion for Narcan Let me see. Shoot, I can't find that particular one...

1:46:21 Again, what was reiterated is believe me there is no junkie in their right mind who would actually write I saw that note right so but a lot of people said You know that the remake of flatliners is coming up Now you're talking In thing it's coming out at the end of the month Flatline is exactly this go being dead being brought back from the dead they don't do it with heroin as far as I know in the movie but You know, that's the beside the point. Yeah I think it is a movie plug that's very good catch whoever came up with that number of people we haven't been doing enough of that by the way our number well luckily people have their no agenda thinking hats on and they're coming up with this stuff like yes let me go let me get back to the demons all right oh there's more we have one last demon which may or may not be a demon this could also be the CIA which may or may not be run by demons we don't know but this is the Cuban sound incident update

CHAPTER 30 / 48 Discussion

Havana Sonic Attacks, US Diplomats, Surveillance Technology

U.S. and Canadian diplomats in Havana, Cuba, suffered severe hearing loss and brain symptoms following unexplained "sonic incidents." While the U.S. expelled two Cuban diplomats in response, some intelligence veterans suggest the injuries may have been the result of a sophisticated surveillance attempt gone wrong. The technology involved is speculated to be an advanced Doppler or radar-based listening device that caused unintended physical damage.

havana· cuba· sonic attack· surveillance· diplomats

1:47:19 Yes, that was a good one wasn't it? Oh wait I can start the clip. The bizarre incidents beginning last October left a group of US diplomats with severe hearing loss blamed on what one official says could have been a surveillance device deployed inside or outside the Americans Havana residences which are all owned by Cuba's government. Several US agencies, the CIA FBI and State Department diplomatic security service are all investigating we don't know exactly where this came from. Okay, we can't blame any one individual or a country at this point yet an investigation is underway we take that very seriously." Canada also says some of its diplomats in Havana also suffered symptoms. In Havana Cuban newscaster says the government is investigating and quote

1:48:11 Cuba has never nor would it ever allow that the Cuban territory be used for any action against accredited diplomatic agents or their families. So who's responsible? Perhaps a third country, some suggest possibly even Russia where there has been a surge of harassment and outright attacks against US diplomats in recent years or just a surveillance attempt gone terribly wrong says a former CIA veteran I personally think it was an accident, a surveillance attempt I do not think the Cubans would attack us physically like that, especially given the timing. The U.S has already expelled two Cuban diplomats from Washington because of the unexplained illnesses in Havana only a first step depending on the investigation Andrea Mitchell NBC News Washington Wait a minute! I didn't know that 2 diplomats have been expelled That means they know something... I don't what to deal is with those 2 diplomats Well let's think about this for a second If we tie them all together What you're doing right here which i'm okay with

1:49:05 We have hospital, airplanes, embassy. That could be an interesting test to see if this technology works in certain scenarios we need to have airplanes for sure. Hospital yeah possibly and Embassy for sure. Well the CIA guy was kind of enlightening when he said that you know I mean there's no logical reason it was Cuba but I thought they're maybe testing some gear. Yes, testing. Some remote listening stuff? Oh you mean it was a remote listening and it backfired like we oh I put the red on the black one oops sorry well It happened too many times to happen to the US embassy having the Canadian Embassy and apparently the Cuban at some Cuban office had the same problem yeah And then I don't understand where he can stuff your ears with something Alt wrong I said that I think that we've got it alt wrong alt wrong instead of alt right

1:50:03 No, I Could be demons. Yeah, I don't think it's demons John but I am I don't know if I'm gonna look into this Maybe one of our guys can shed some light on it. The way the CIA guy matter-of-factly mentioned surveillance gone wrong, why would he say that unless it was something that could go wrong? I don't understand how surveillance could go wrong what are you doing What are you doing that... It may be some very advanced Doppler thing where they're sending a signal into an office and then there's like radar what comes back is that you can extract the, uh, do radar information and extract the conversation.

1:50:49 I mean something crazy because they got all these crazy ideas. They get the little red dot, they can put on a big painted glass... And just so you know you still laugh at me when i talk about the earthquake machine? This is in that same vein! It's totally in the same vein it's some just some crazy technology they may be working on and it turns out to damage hearing and they're going to pull back on it and don't say anything well it sued begging guys death I find it interesting that two diplomats have been expelled. That means somebody knows something, or at least they're putting... in the story it was tied into this event. Yeah well they tied it in but is it may have been a quid pro quo or just Trump's...I don't know who's even running this...the diplomats uh in and out of? I guess it'd have to be Tillerson he's the head of this operation but

US Army, DJI Drones, Cyber Vulnerabilities

The U.S. Army issued a memorandum directing all units to discontinue the use of DJI unmanned aircraft systems due to "cyber vulnerabilities." The Chinese-made drones are the most widely used commercial-off-the-shelf UAS in the military. Officials are concerned that the devices are "phoning home" data and mapping information to servers in China, posing a significant operational risk.

us army· dji· drones· china· cyber security

1:51:42 Hmm. Well speaking of spy stuff, I came across a memorandum from Department of the Army Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff August 2nd 2017 subject discontinue use of Dajiang Innovation DJR Corporation unmanned aircraft systems Do you know that? Dajiang Innovation Corporation never heard of them DJI well it's a Chinese company and Okay, references a army research laboratory report DJI UAS technology threat and user vulnerable vulnerabilities That's classified. I don't have a copy of that Navy memorandum operational risks with regard to DJI family of products Background DJI unmanned aircraft system products are the most widely used non program-of-record commercial off the shelf uas that's

1:52:35 Unmanned aerial surveillance employed by the Army. The army aviation engineering director has issued over 300 separate airworthiness releases for DJI products in support of multiple organizations with a variety of mission sets due to increased awareness of cyber vulnerabilities associated with DJI products, it is directed that the US Army halt use of all DJI products This guidance applies to all DJI UAS and any system that employs electrical components or software including but not limited to flight computers, cameras radios batteries speed controllers GPS units handheld control stations etc. The reason why

1:53:11 They are sending stuff back home. Yeah, phoning home these guys or why should they wish we were going to do all the mapping? It's like it's like Facebook yeah exactly but you're studying put your details in your taking you personally put all your details of your whole life into Facebook and then you can just see I could just look you up yep yeah if you're gonna have a gear over here we do the same thing yeah but i just thought it was interesting and that to me is a story That's a better story than some of this stuff. It's a story well you bring up Facebook there is a new New study done by now, this is published in Science Direct Behavioral brain research that isn't that as a respected journal I believe do you know what? You don't know what's respected these days no study found the link between using Facebook specifically and The little gray cells in your brain

CHAPTER 32 / 48 Discussion

Facebook, Brain Gray Matter, Reward Centers

A study published in "Behavioral Brain Research" found a correlation between frequent Facebook usage on smartphones and a reduction in gray matter in the brain's nucleus accumbens. This region is associated with the body's reward and seeking systems. While the study only followed 62 participants over five weeks, it suggests that high-frequency social media use may physically alter brain structure.

facebook· gray matter· nucleus accumbens· neuroscience· smartphone

1:54:10 What does it do to them? I'm sorry, what is it due to them? Oh well what do you think can't be good no we're talking about it the April 2017 study found that people who frequently check Facebook on their smartphones because that's what the study was have less gray matter in the part of the brains nucleus acumen bends thought to be its reward Center So you have less grey matter, less cells the more you use face bag in your reward center. Which is odd to me because I thought that it would actually increase the reward because you're exercising it the whole time

1:54:55 Let's see, we were able to demonstrate that the nucleus accumbens a central region of the seeking system others call it the reward system plays an important role in understanding Facebook usage on smartphones. In short, the lower the gray matter volume in this area the higher Facebook usage frequency could be observed so it is correlation maybe not causation Uh, but they did this with what is their end and number 62 participants on their smartphones five weeks. And that's when they did MRIs on them in five weeks. They can see a difference in five weeks. Yep. I'm skeptical. I'm skeptical because those people are probably using Facebook for the last five years, right? But they saw a reduction during the five week. I mean, it must have no brain left by now. It's just a puny little P there's nothing left of it

1:55:50 I think that's a noteworthy. Yeah, we'll put that one aside. We'll see if more research comes up. I'm interested to see if that happens. Well it will be suppressed by the billionaire that runs Facebook You mean our next president? Our next president. This is the time that this stuff gets suppressed, you know when it comes out then you never hear about it again Exactly We have witnessed that for decades Well let's talk about suppressed news because I have come under fire once again It's amazing how works Curry your wrong! Your wrong! You got dupes man! You smoking too much weed! You're wrong about the Queen and William and Charles! You are wrong Curry

Prince Charles, Queen Elizabeth, Monarchy Succession

Speculation continues regarding the British royal succession and whether Prince Charles will ever be crowned King. Some theories suggest that Charles may be bypassed or even face a "polo accident" before his coronation to allow Prince William to take the throne. The Queen's longevity and the public's mixed feelings toward Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles remain central to the debate over the future of the monarchy.

prince charles· queen elizabeth· house of windsor· camilla parker bowles· uk

1:56:31 Yeah, it was your story. Yeah, I will admit that the story does not have... It misses certain credibilities and Snopes says it's wrong so thus its wrong We have an offline copy of Snopes by the way we got a five gigabyte copy of all those things Thank you whoever did that yeah is great idea very good idea. We got that five gigs That's it? Five gigs yeah Oh my god, that's not much. Anyway I guess mostly text so I guess it wouldn't be much. I mentioned this problem in the newsletter if anyone had bothered to read it they would have noticed that I had discussed this instead of bitching at you and they would have had the link to the San Jose Mercury story which is linked in the newsletter uh to what I consider as the genesis of all this

1:57:28 And I believe that the Genesis, the reporter who did the news story in The Mercury is a very good investigative reporter. She's not a slouch and So, okay. Right now I got a number of people on Twitter saying, you know it's bull crap and they did Charles, I'll be waiting for Charles to be inaugurated. Hmm. So I was thinking about this cause I discussed this again another one of these things at the meetup and I said, I don't think I didn't mention it on the show but I'm guessing that before Charles gets inaugurated they're going to kill him. That seems today is the way they do things over there

1:58:07 It's the monarchy. Yeah, you put that in the book... Oh it's not just the monarchy but yeah hmm and so we'll see if he gets crowned and all the rest of it yeah I'll eat my words but i'm gonna stick with it So do you think he might get killed before any coronation would take place? If the queen dies She is the one real, one of the real bosses behind. She and her family... But she's just ceremonial! Yeah right tell that to The Budget Hello budget this is your ceremonial Sefter speaking Probably could get MI5 to do it but if I was writing this as a fictional thing I'd be yes but make sure don't I don't want to see him dead until after I'm dead

1:59:03 So that would be the trigger. Trigger, you know... Don't kill him. Well okay but how about this? How could she assure that it actually happened because I watch a lot of these monarchy type series and stuff. I like watching it and I see how The Crown, I watched all that. But I find it hard to believe that she would trust anyone to kill him then not actually be able to see the results of it, see that it happened. I don't think she would... Well that's a good point but I don't think she is that bloodthirsty You know, I mean...I don't know. Well we'll see! We'll see if there's ways to go she probably got another 10 years to live. He will be 78. He is already 68 and he is too old to be the king anyway but.. But look, the Queen is tired This is like the queen The queen is like that what the Polish Pope who went for a hundred It was unbelievable how some people can just keep living when they are surrounded by doctors

2:00:03 Down she's tired. I don't know she's tired. I know the old man is tired Philip decided to retire so he did retire, but he's like 96 yeah and he's on his last legs apparently. That's what he likes to say I think that i like your thesis it fits with the royal family, it fits with the house of Windsor, it fits with the lineage of uh of the royal family but I think it would have to happen sooner rather than later because this is actually the stuff that tears apart the fabric of a society in the UK. My friends in the UK are, you know they're more Republicans than anything as in they want you know they like a republic and not a monarchy. You know but yet they're all crazy about it. They text him oh you gotta watch this! Oh Camilla and Charles can never take the throne like who gives a crap? Well they do

2:00:56 So this will fester too long and something has to be done before then. And let's just think about how... Small plane? Well isn't Charles, does he do anything like the kids like flying planes or anything military stuff did you do any of that He might I don't know that he does How abou- oh how bout this? Polo accident yeah! I'm thinking a mallet to the head A mallet to the head Something like that. Or, now if we get rid of Camilla then can Charles... is he still a viable candidate? No, Camilla's got nothing to do with it She has everything to do with it! Well she has everything to do with everybody hating him but I don't think she has anything to do with him being a candidate or not a candidate How about Fox Hunt? That's another way... oops sorry Fox Hunt accidental shooting

Australia, War on Cash, Fintech Hub

The Australian government's "Black Economy Task Force" is proposing sanctions against consumers who use cash for large purchases without obtaining receipts. This move is part of a broader "cultural change agenda" to transition the country into a global financial technology (fintech) hub. Critics point to recent payment network outages in the Netherlands as a warning of the fragility of a purely cashless society.

australia· war on cash· fintech· black economy· digital payments

2:01:53 I don't think he goes on those things. He doesn't do much more than garden from what i can tell Ah infection it's Mercer exact Mercer Okay, so that would be the that would be a no No, that'll never happen now never happened Australian government is ratcheting up the war on cash They have a task force, the Black Economy Task Force. They're doing the same that everyone is doing. Oh we have black money in the economy drug money We have to get rid of it This is the Black Economy Task Force chair Michael Andrew saying consumers are part of the problem you see

2:02:35 And the government will punish those that purchase products or services with cash. We intend to examine the merits of consumer-focused sanctions, including the loss of consumer protections, warranties and legal rights for people who make cash payments without obtaining a valid receipt This is simply not a matter of imposing new penalties but part of a wider cultural change agenda Damn But let me tell you how that works out. In the Netherlands, this was Thursday... There was a nationwide outage of the payment network that only lasted 15 minutes. But... Yeah, test! Test! A test thank you it only lasted 15 minutes people couldn't pay in supermarkets now there's supermarkets the Albert Heijn in The Netherlands most them don't take cash at all anymore they sometimes they have one cash register that is cash-only

2:03:33 But the, but restaurants nothing no one could pay for anything. They were a lot of these huge lines everywhere in front of the ATM this was just 15 minutes, 15 minutes imagine and we have... And it wouldn't be something that isn't at issue anyway, because people always bitching them all the grid. The grid is going to go down the grid and you can't put that together. You can't put this grid fear of the grid failing the grid, cyber hacking but you can't put that together with the cashless society and make it work now though he can make those two arguments no or an argument for electric vehicles for that matter because it's kind of the argument I made specifically about

2:04:24 About the grid, but this is been people still that it's very interesting. They just don't see the issue they don't see oh how everything just kind of works but yet the British Airways completely fell down due to an IIT issue completely They remember they had people sleep in airports for a week because they couldn't get home you know this is technological society and its future is very bleak. It's called, yeah it's bleak and sleeping in airports is your future that is pretty much what it's going to be

2:05:04 Innovation will drive productivity growth in Australia. That is why the government's $1.1 billion, that's about what is that? Seven thousand dollars in America national innovation and science agenda The NISA is designed to enable Australia to take full advantage of new economic opportunities The government is committed to establishing Australia as a leading global financial technology hub and is announcing a new package that aims to position our local fintech industry as a world leader. So this is part of a marketing effort, as well." Fintech? Fintech... so I'm not quite sure where this leaves Bitcoin but it's in the mix somewhere Yeah

Microchip Implants, Wisconsin Firm, Privacy Concerns

A small firm in Wisconsin made headlines by embedding microchips in employees to replace company badges and facilitate cashless cafeteria payments. Analysts predict that "you will be chipped" eventually, with major tech companies like Apple or T-Mobile potentially leading the charge by linking chips to concert access or phone security. The media coverage notably downplayed privacy and health concerns in favor of convenience.

microchips· wisconsin· apple pay· privacy· t-mobile

2:05:53 By the way, apparently there's already a beanie coin. Yes with someone mentioned Yeah, so we'll have to call it something else but we'll just call it beanie coin for now just as a working title It's a working time working title what's gonna be that's the final? It's not the final No, it's not but by no means is at the final This was a story in USA Today. I like the way they presented this, again this is something that we were talking about...I was certainly talking about 10 years ago people looking at me like it's crazy it'll never happen and you're nut job your crackpot all true You will be chipped! It's just a matter of time That's what analysts and educators tell us, but don't worry. What happened in Wisconsin is not about to go mass market yet! A small firm recently embedded microchips in their employees as a way to bypass company badges and corporate logons and get attention for their cafeteria kiosks which are available on cashless payment plans like Apple Pay.

2:06:44 Some great proponents tell us that having a chip in the hand is better than grabbing for the cell phone because you can never forget it and you can't lose it, and you have the capability to communicate with machines in a way we couldn't before. Others just think that having a corporation stick a chip in this hand is kind of creepy even if the companies say they can track you and your information is private For me its no mostly because I'm concerned about what kinds of health effects it might have For those reasons, analysts we spoke to say that workers at IBM Facebook Federal Express Microsoft the gap and so many other corporate giants have nothing to worry about. They won't get chips soon consumers first corporation second which is why the analyst say It's gonna be a while but you will be chipped progress right? Yeah for USA Day in Los Angeles I'm Jefferson Graham whoo alright USA because he ran that exact story two shows ago

2:07:36 But not from USA Today. No, and I wrote a column about it Oh, I didn't see that what did you write? What did you write? What was your thesis? I said that we're all gonna get shipped So you're now the crackpot I'm if you read the story, the logic is there. I don't see the logic it seems like a security risk whereas you can do a lot of things with your phone like put it in a safe for instance. You know stolen whatever but to have your hand just flapping around that's easy. Yeah, you gotta read the article Well, give us a synopsis. Well the synopsis is you're going to get chipped because the logic is there and they're gonna insist on it What is the logic? Please explain The logic is as easy...and the public can be convinced of this It's so much easier just put the little chip there in between your thumb and your forefinger In that little spot there Yeah And people can wander around They have all this stuff instead of getting...they can't be robbed Unless you chop off the guy's hand Nobody's gonna do that

2:08:36 It's just, you can't read it. I'm giving you the summary. The summary is that you're going to get chipped! I'm not gonna agree to it. You probably won't, but you'll be in the minority! If you already said yourself at the beginning of this show that it's hopeless and all these people are suckers and they're going to do all these bad things... They're gonna get chipped by your logic. And what I think the chip will do is replace a number of things. Again, I'm just waiting for Apple—this would be perfect for them—to tie it into the phone And I've been thinking about that how they could launch it. That's your comment when we ran that same clip a while ago, but Apple is the one who is going to push this and use that logic in the column? Good! But I think Apple Pay is part of it but also maybe just having... you will have your ID kind of like... It could be like a hash string or Bitcoin address

2:09:29 And that will just be your identification. That's really where I think it will go. Blockchain people! Yeah, is identification purposes but identification to authorities Yeah, that makes sense to me. And it'll be a you know what? Stop I take it back T-Mobile might push this that would be easier they're big on concerts and all kinds of benefits for their customers so You get the chip your team T-Mobile chip which also of course can find your phone because we're gonna lose your phone So you can find your phone but you can use it then to get into concerts and other cool little benefits

2:10:05 Stuff like that I think is where people would do it and if it doesn't hurt, if it's just quick you know they have a lot of story. This story was a lot about showing if it hurt how quick it was and the little word about the health concerns there was not a single line in that story about privacy concerns Oh no There are no privacy concerns Well talking about to segue into maybe before our little break I want to play I don't think we should be playing this clip, but i'm gonna be playing this clip anyway. This is the groping taylor swift clip

CHAPTER 36 / 48 Discussion

Taylor Swift, Groping Trial, David Mueller

A federal judge in Denver ruled that pop star Taylor Swift cannot be held liable for radio DJ David Mueller losing his job. Mueller sued Swift for $3 million after she reported that he groped her during a 2013 meet-and-greet; Swift countersued for a symbolic one dollar. The case, which included eyewitness testimony of the incident, has been characterized as a significant moment for sexual harassment awareness in the music industry.

taylor swift· david mueller· denver· groping· sexual harassment

2:10:43 We're following some breaking news right now. Let's get this update from NBC's Lucy Kavanaugh. Breaking News! Recently evening hugs in a Denver courtroom this evening after a federal judge ruled pop star Taylor Swift cannot be held liable for a radio DJ losing his job the DJ sued Swift claiming she had him fired for telling his bosses he groped her at a concert meet and greet four years ago That DJ, David Mueller denies groping Swift and is suing for up to $3 million. The case continues against other defendants the jury will hear closing arguments on Monday Lester will be back after a short groping. A short what? I sounded like a short groping session is what I thought she was going to say. That's what she said yeah because that's what I edited

2:11:30 Yeah, I know it's being funny. It didn't work out as I told you. Okay... I did get your attention! But it wasn't quite as good. Well what got my attention because I didn't read this story and really follow what I saw. Oh that story is so stupid. What I saw-what I DID see was apparently there was an eyewitness who saw the guy put his hand up her skirt to grope her. That wasn't just a grope on her butt Oh no, no. He went up... It was an upskirt grope grabbed a bun and held on for dear life according to her Wow! And I believe it. I believe it. It's the guy who says he is DJing Hello? Hello? What part of DJ didn't you understand yes So uh... Damn Okay any conclusion on this riveting story Mr. Dvorak

2:12:15 Taylor will win the whole thing, but she's really needing the publicity because she is being cut out of a lot of these shows. Why? Why is she being cut out? I wonder myself. Because of the dancing when she's dancing with her girlfriends in front it becomes annoying Okay, that could be. It may be... I don't know maybe she's overexposed and she's you know she maybe should take some time off? I mean she was dominating the scene for a long time. You know materialism is okay She's just too... She's alt-right really that's the problem. She's ALT RIGHT! I'm gonna show my support by donating to No Agenda Imagine all the people who could do that Oh yeah that'd be fab NO AGENDA

CHAPTER 37 / 48 Discussion

Knighting Ceremony, Dame Jennifer, Global Donations

The hosts conduct a formal knighting and daming ceremony for high-value donors, including Dame Jennifer of the Great White North and Sir Boyle of Knob Hill. Jennifer's donation was accompanied by a discussion on the Gardasil vaccine and "pre-cancer" scares. The segment includes a long list of international donors from Germany, Canada, and the Netherlands, contributing to the show's "Value-for-Value" model.

Well he did say that it is not always pre-cancer No it is pre cancer but yeah but that doesn't mean its going to be cancer. We're not doing a disservice per se. I think the Gardasil scam is pretty well known and the point is how they are guilting children into getting their parents to shoot them up with something

CHAPTER 39 / 48 Discussion

Bad Egg Scandal, Factory Farming, Antibiotic Resistance

A major food scandal emerged as the Netherlands was accused of exporting 700,000 "bad eggs" infected with pesticides to the UK. This is linked to broader concerns about factory farming, as detailed in the book "Chickenizing Farms and Food." Research from Johns Hopkins University warns that low-dose antibiotics in livestock are creating genetically identical, antibiotic-resistant bacteria that can spread miles away from farm ventilation fans.

eggs· netherlands· antibiotics· factory farming· johns hopkins

2:27:05 Yeah, but I wonder. I think we have... I recall- I think Google's so shut down that they don't get involved with anything especially shows like this You know we've been tracking this egg stuff put an egg on it the Egg Council has been working really hard to put eggs everywhere because you know there's too many eggs We just have overproduced eggs And it's going bad. Yeah, the UK is now accusing the Netherlands for sending them... The bad eggs? 700 thousand infected eggs! Yeah, the Netherlands making bad eggs. Bad eggs And it showed up in you know in egg sandwiches, which they have at the gas station and Tesco's and you know all the places where you just grab some food. In the UK they always have handmade sandwiches a lot of... They like egg! They like egg on their sandwich. So those have all been pulled out this is hmm bad eggs. Scandalous I think we may see more bad eggs there's some kind of over production thing going on with eggs

2:28:06 Well, we have this story which is similar. It's not about the eggs so much but I think it does relate to it This is the antibiotic screed John Hopkins University environmental scientist Ellen Silbergeld is author of Chickenizing Farms and Food Which chronicles the rise of factory farming We need it to feed the world, she says. But not by feeding low doses of antibiotics to livestock supposedly to promote growth or prevent disease before it happens Between 70 and 80 percent of total antibiotic production is used in agriculture And is the use in agriculture creating as much resistance in bacteria As the use with humans? I think its arguably creating more

2:28:52 Bacteria are exposed to low doses of antibiotics. Bacteria are stressed but not killed." and the community sends out signals whereby they share resistance genes. Resist? Yes, so actually low-dose antibiotics over a long period of time are much worse than high dose Much worse says Silvergeld in that they expose workers and consumers to rapidly evolving antibiotic resistant microbes Yeah this is bad we already knew this was happening in humans I never even thought about

2:29:29 the agriculture industry. Yeah, and listen to this clip too. To rapidly evolving antibiotic resistant microbes perhaps in the very air we were breathing near this chicken house in Sussex County Delaware We and others have done studies where we've trapped the outflow from these ventilation fans and we can find antibiotics antibiotic resistant bacteria that are genetically identical to the bacteria inside the house as far away as essentially three football fields. Oh, nice! Yeah we're gonna die... That's for sure yeah We talked about that documentary What The Health I think? Did we talk about it? No, maybe Well you won't be eating chicken after that

CHAPTER 40 / 48 Discussion

Haitian Migrants, Montreal Olympic Stadium, Libyan Navy

Haitian migrants seeking asylum are being housed in Montreal's Olympic Stadium after fleeing the United States due to ending protected status. In Europe, tensions remain high as the Libyan Navy reportedly fired on NGO ships attempting to pick up migrants near the coast. Viral footage also showed African migrants landing on Spanish beaches in front of sunbathing tourists, highlighting the ongoing migration crisis.

haiti· montreal· migrants· libya· ngos

2:30:17 I'm having chicken tonight. Yeah, I haven't a little off chicken Justin Joe I wouldn't mind like the fries and tired of chicken chicken is a boring boring white guys You gotta really do all kinds of fancy just judge the Chinese probably do the best job of kind of making chicken edible Really is racist It's bland. It's cultural appropriation, it just can't be eaten chicken is no good at all there some migrant news from this morning but also I'd like our Candianavians listeners to give me some clips of very interested in this you know when the Haitian earthquake took place the Haitians got asylum in the United States and that was I believe it was extended once or twice that is now coming to an end then the Haitians are

2:31:07 trying to figure out what to do and they're going to Canada. So many in fact that they are being housed in the Olympic Stadium in Montreal! I didn't know this... I didn't know this... And that's a lot, I would presume if you have to put them in the stadium So I'd love to get a little more information about that. Europe, you know nothing really wrong just carry on everybody don't worry about migrants as...I'm sure you saw the cell phone footage of African migrants landing on the Spanish beach people out there sunbathing all of sudden this rubber boat washes up and these guys just like scatter it's crazy! It is really yeah is just insane

2:31:53 It's unbelievable. And, you know the big problem we have with in Europe is the NGOs who are picking up the migrants closer and closer to the Libyan coast I just got word from our military guys that the Libyan Navy is now shooting at NGOs who are trying to pick up migrants right off the shore. That's a step in the right direction! It's the beginning yeah Yeah, but that's you know there's a lot of issues with doing that obviously. Yeah I'm sure there are and then what they're gonna do about it? I was following you know we talked about this war on men in the tech industry and how Mark Cantor got kind of pulled into it. How did he get suckered into that well someone told us no comment if you get a call

CHAPTER 41 / 48 Discussion

Mark Cantor, Sexual Harassment, Media Assassination

Tech advisor Mark Cantor has been grouped with high-profile "douchebags" in media reports regarding sexual harassment in Silicon Valley. While Cantor issued a mea culpa for sending an inappropriate "sorceress" text, critics argue his reputation is being unfairly destroyed by mainstream media "assassination." The situation is cited as an example of how minor indiscretions are now being equated with major predatory behavior.

mark cantor· sexual harassment· silicon valley· media· reputation

2:32:44 No, no. It's a little different I don't have to go through the whole story But what's happening to him now and Mark Cantor is really you know all he had was his reputation And that's just completely shot now Every story just listen this listen this is how it works This is how you get assassinated by miss LA Times by mainstream media Then well he did not do anything inappropriate in a situation where he could really help this. He sent the text like you're a sorceress, remember that? Be like oh you're a sorcerer's do you enchant me but it wasn't someone who was getting a job or anything like that just douchebag yeah is just doing a douchebag move. Let's see I'm gonna pass is somebody for all to see yes

2:33:30 This week's news follows a series of New York Times reports chronicling widespread sexual harassment of women in tech as the result one story Chris Saka, lowercase capital Dave McClure 500 startups and the startup advisor Mark Cantor all issued mea culpa. So he has been put into this same bucket as actual really big douchebags Poor guy! Well maybe you can benefit from that No I don't see how we can benefit from that no way No way. Probably not. Here's something I... Here is a story that we have predicted would happen and it came true Every gun buyer fills out the ATFs form 4473 It asks nine questions about your life Are you under indictment, been convicted of stalking A fugitive from justice or mentally defective Question 11 E asks if you're an unlawful user Or addicted to marijuana? It comes with this warning

CHAPTER 42 / 48 Discussion

Medical Marijuana, Gun Rights, Federal Background Checks

The ATF's Form 4473 now includes a specific warning that medical marijuana users are prohibited from purchasing firearms under federal law. Gun dealers in Florida and elsewhere must reject applications if a buyer admits to marijuana use, regardless of state legality. This conflict between state and federal law has led to concerns that patients are being forced to forfeit their Second Amendment rights to access legal medicine.

marijuana· gun rights· atf· florida· second amendment

2:34:28 Marijuana is still illegal under federal law no matter what your state has done. Gun dealers say a person legally prescribed marijuana and telling the truth would not be sold to gun. If you check a box 11E, basically it rejects my form and I don't allow you to purchase the gun It's not a problem gun dealer Mark Fulmer has had to deal with since the warning was added last October. I'm sure going to come up sometime, but so far it hasn't come up and the ATF confirms that what the gun dealers are telling us is correct Medical marijuana guru John Morgan told us the federal law is stopping real progress predicting the NRA would become pro-medical marijuana at the federal level Marijuana advocate Taylor Beal says patients shouldn't have to give up their rights

2:35:15 If they legally are accessing medicine to treat their debilitating diseases, they now could possibly forfeit their right to bear arms. The names of marijuana patients in Florida are confidential We've asked the Department of Law Enforcement if they plan to check that database against gun purchase applications They have yet to get back with us Oh don't worry, they will Well we said this would happen You sign up for medical marijuana. Yes, a mistake Yeah And then whoops you can't have can have a gun Can't live near school that's next yeah can't be anywhere near children

2:35:51 Yeah, that would be all of it. Well you have to legalize it or live in a state where its legal what are they going to do ask this question in California? I don't think they'd do it Yes That's what they're saying It has nothing to do with the state your'e in This is a federal background check No but if listen to way the questions worded Are you addicted Is what it said yeah well no ones gonna answer yes to that But it's a start Its a start Well the other thing is misleading question because you can't really Oh my god! I just had a great idea for The Chip oh my god this such an easy one You want a gun? You have to have a chip, because your gun will not function unless you have a chip in your hand. Well I actually mentioned that exact scenario in the column Oh really? Perfect That would make sense, you get those people chipped first and people would do it

CHAPTER 44 / 48 Discussion

Opioid Crisis, Racial Disparities, Pharmaceutical Industry

Commentary on MSNBC highlighted the perceived racial disparity in the government's response to the opioid crisis compared to the 1990s crack epidemic. Critics argue that because the current crisis affects more white Americans, it is being treated as a public health tragedy rather than a criminal issue. The discussion also points to the pharmaceutical industry as the primary "bad actor" responsible for the crisis.

opioids· crack epidemic· racism· big pharma· msnbc

2:38:54 I'm just gonna grouse and grouse. I got a couple last clips. Well, I have one more to tie into this about the opioid crisis and i do want to repeat that it's very disturbing that our president is just following the same old bullcrap war on drugs along with sessions with you know he's all against the weed But instead of going after the real players, the real bad actors which starts with the pharmaceutical industry. Now instead we're gonna you know go... Yeah, more treatment. More treatment for people but on MSNBC we know what the opioid... We know this whole focus on the opioid crisis racist and again This is truly a national tragedy But you know two decades ago in this country You had lots of folks who look like me who were dying in DC and Chicago and LA

2:39:48 in greater numbers than what we're seeing right now as a result of the crack cocaine epidemic that plagued this country. It seems as if we are treating this particular drug crisis differently than when treated that way." It's really unbelievable, yeah because you know now white people are dying so yeah now we care That's what he is saying. Yes it is what he is saying I find that It's bull crap. Yeah, yeah. These guys are just the worst. But again it doesn't matter I guarantee you will hear people saying oh yeah so this is all about race...I have given up John! Black addicts matter. Black addicts matter? Exactly You're not familiar with this as a kind of tech news since it's Sunday but not really gonna start the jingle for it

CHAPTER 45 / 48 Discussion

AirDrop, Digital Harassment, Podcast Sharing

Women on the New York City subway have reported receiving unsolicited "dick pics" via Apple's AirDrop feature, which allows users to send files to nearby devices. The default setting often allows anyone to send images, leading to digital harassment in public spaces. The hosts suggest that this same technology could be used more positively to share "No Agenda" episodes with strangers in public.

airdrop· iphone· harassment· subway· podcasting

2:40:42 I was waiting for this to happen because i witnessed didn't witness it actually happening but thought about something along these lines when we were traveling that you don't have an iphone, but the iphone has this concept called air dropping are familiar with how this works? Air dropping. No so it's either near field... You dropped a phone on the ground and watch it crack? Yeah near-field communications maybe is blue I think only works with your bluetooth on So maybe just bluetooth And you can pretty much any web page or picture, anything you have. You can just say okay I want to forward this or share it. So click a little share icon and then you can do an air drop and up pop all these pictures of people around you who have AirDrop on and enabled. I think the default is just accept from anybody. Women have discovered in the New York subway that

2:41:32 Men have discovered this capability and are air dropping dick pics. Whoo that sounds about right Hail Apple, and of course this is causing trauma you understand this youth think it's causing a lot of drama Look around there in the subway They're looking at they see the pic And then they look around to look left and look ready to say some good kind of creepy guy in the corner smirking At him now. They're looking at hands let me see does this go with his hands oh Exactly. Peaks! This, by the way is not a bad No Agenda promotion because you know if you can share anything so you can also share from your podcast app You can share the no agenda show and why don't people do that? Well because we're telling them to do it now Okay And on that note We somehow have not been nominated for a podcast award this year

CHAPTER 46 / 48 Discussion

Podcast Awards, Adam Curry Award, Homeless Tents

The Podcast Awards recently renamed the People's Choice Award to the "Adam Curry People's Choice Award," though the show itself was not nominated. Separately, a plan is discussed to provide silk-screened "No Agenda" tents to the homeless in Austin, Texas. The hosts speculate that such a move would generate significant local media coverage and serve as a unique PR strategy for the show.

CHAPTER 47 / 48 Discussion

Princess Diana, George Clooney, Media Distraction

A retrospective on the death of Princess Diana featured a clip of actor George Clooney announcing the news. The hosts suggest Clooney's involvement in such high-profile events often serves as a "heat of distraction" or a signal of intelligence community involvement. The segment questions why a Hollywood actor was positioned as a primary spokesperson during the 1997 tragedy.
