Can I do that? Can that be something that you can learn? How did questions function differently between Eastern versus Western intellectual traditions? What role do you think embodied questions those we explore through doing rather than thinking play in developing wisdom? What's on the other side of the hill? What happens if you go to the end? What's the origin of this? How should one think about the exploratory in one's life? Is there anything that you would add to your list of 15 statements that define what makes a quality question? Is there a qualitative difference between the questions humans are asking and the questions our AI systems are beginning to formulate? What do you think would help them get there? Any idea on a forcing function on how we get them [LLMs] to ask the better questions so that they might improve in that direction? What were some novel questions that broke your brain at the time in thinking about this 10,000-year clock or beyond? What's it good for? What would you use it for? What else could you do over the long term for 10,000 years? How do you transmit values over time? How do you evolve values that need to change, and how do you make a difference? How do even know what you don't want to change? What do you want to continue? What's the most essential aspects of our civilization that we don't want to go away? What are the rules? What is the system? How do you pass things along in time and not change the ones you don't wanna change, and make sure you change the ones that are more adaptable so they can adapt? What do you think about questioning itself as an art form? How has being a photographer influenced the way you question reality, visually compared to verbally? Are you a photographer that takes photos or makes photos? What will happen? What will happen next? What are your right now questions that you are wrestling with or working with in your life? Can someone else do what I'm trying to do here? Am I more me in doing my art or more me in doing the writing? Do you have any other thoughts or encouragement about questions that we haven't explored? What makes a good question? How do you ask a good question? What questions do you dwell on to be in purposeful imbalance? What is your practice in embracing the inefficient nature of questions to achieve breakthroughs? What are the new hills you can build and frontiers you can explore? How can you use your curiosity and humanity to pursue questions that trend toward the fringes?…

Trump SLASHES Drug Prices With Executive Order! 59:21

2 дні тому59:21

59:21

President Donald Trump on Monday signed a sweeping executive order setting a 30-day deadline for drugmakers to electively lower the cost of prescription drugs in the U.S. or face new limits down the road over what the government will pay. The order calls on the health department, led by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., to broker new price tags for drugs over the next month. If deals are not reached, Kennedy will be tasked with developing a new rule that ties the price the U.S. pays for medications to lower prices paid by other countries. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the high prices of pharmaceuticals in the United States and whether Trump’s executive order will have the intended effect. Plus segments on Trump bypassing Netanyahu to negotiate the release of the last U.S. hostage in Gaza and reports in the Jerusalem Post suggesting that Trump is planning to declare U.S. recognition of an independent Palestinian state. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from Andrew Cuomo!…

Reports are emerging that President Donald Trump has cut off communication with Benjamin Netanyahu over concerns that the Israeli Prime Minister is seeking to manipulate Trump into pursuing policies beneficial to Israel but not the United States. Trump has recently been accused even by allies of abandoning his “America First” stance in favor of a more “Israel First” approach. Jimmy and former HUD Assistant Director Catherine Austin Fitts discuss what will need to happen to demonstrate whether this break with Israel is real or just so much talk. Plus segments with Austin Fitts on the threat posed by digital currencies and House leadership killing a vote to make DOGE cuts permanent. Also featuring Mike MacRae and Stef Zamorano.

Ice Levels Dramatically INCREASE In Antarctica! 1:02:45

1:02:45

The Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) has historically lost mass, significantly contributing to sea-level rise, with intensified losses in West Antarctica and parts of East Antarctica, particularly from 2011–2020. However, between 2021 and 2023, driven by anomalous precipitation, the AIS experienced a record-breaking mass gain, even reversing trends in critical glacier basins like Totten, Moscow, Denman, and Vincennes Bay. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss whether all this hullaballoo about climate change and melting ice caps may be so much hot air. Plus segments on Israeli police beating up Hasidic Jews in Jerusalem for protesting the Gaza genocide, Donald Trump signing a ban on gain of function research and former congressman and presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich discussing the condescendingly warmongering ways of Arkansas senator Tom Cotton. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Aaron Maté!…

“COVID-19 Virus Was Created In An AMERICAN Lab!” – Jeffrey Sachs 1:00:06

9 днів тому1:00:06

1:00:06

Columbia economics professor Jeffrey Sachs is now saying he is “99% sure” that the University of North Carolina (UNC) conducted extensive gain of function research beginning in 2015 and that this research led to the development of COVID-19. Sachs says he is concerned about unregulated research and the lack of global governance for handling dangerous pathogens. This systemic issue underscores the plausibility of an accidental release from a U.S. lab like UNC. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the compelling evidence supporting the conclusion that COVID came from Ralph Baric’s research at UNC. Plus segments on Trump wiping out any DOGE savings with increased military spending and how U.S. tariffs are driving African countries to pursue closer ties with China and India. Also featuring Mike MacRae, Moussa Ibrahim and Stef Zamorano. And a phone call from Alec Baldwin!…

1:01:45

Conservative commentator Candace Owens has publicly criticized Donald Trump for abandoning his “American first” pledge in favor of Israel and against free speech. In a recent episode of her podcast, “Candace,” she voiced concerns over the administration’s actions against universities, particularly regarding free speech issues. Owens stated, “I never thought that I would see a day where I would be rooting for a university above Donald J. Trump and his administration. But I don’t recognize this administration right now.” She highlighted the administration’s actions against Harvard University, which is facing threats of federal funding cuts for not complying with certain demands. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss how Trump has betrayed virtually every fundamental pledge he made to his MAGA base. Plus segments on actor Russell Brand’s recent arrest on decades-old sexual assault charges and Health & Human Services director Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s announcement that all new vaccines will only be approved after more rigorous studies involving placebos. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae.

At the Jerusalem JNS Policy Summit, former U.S. Senator Norm Coleman proclaimed, "The masters of the universe are Jews,” identifying a list of major tech firm CEOs who are all Jews. In the face of Gen Z’s growing support for Palestine, Coleman urged those CEOs and other powerful Jews to "win the digital battle." Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss why young people who get their information from social media rather than traditional sources, would turn against Israel. Plus segments on Trump shredding ABC News reporter Terry Moran over the media’s coverup of former President Biden’s mental decline, a judge freeing detained international Columbia student Mohsen Mahdawi, Trump compelling Jeff Bezos to cave on including tariff-based price increases on Amazon pages, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky acknowledging that Crimea will remain a part of Russia after negotiations to end the war and Trump claiming he would like to raise taxes on the wealthy but the political cost would be too high.

1:01:16

Virginia Giuffre, one of the most prominent survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse, has died by suicide, her family said Friday. Giuffre, 41, died in Neergabby, Australia, where she had been living for several years. Giuffre was one of the earliest and loudest voices calling for criminal charges against Epstein and his enablers. Other Epstein abuse survivors later credited her with giving them the courage to speak out. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss whether Giuffre likely actually committed suicide or if other forces were at play in leading to her death. Plus segments on Democrats’ demand that Donald Trump be subjected to the “rule of law” suddenly not applying to the Wisconsin judge who allegedly helped an alien in her court evade authorities and the more than 100 former Israeli spies and IDF soldiers who now work for Facebook.

Here’s Why The Knives Are Out for Pete Hegseth! 1:04:26

1:04:26

President Donald Trump is standing by his embattled Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, and brushing off concerns even as new details are emerging about the military information Hegseth shared in a second group chat on Signal that included his family and friends. Hegseth is also dealing with the fallout from a leadership purge at the top of the Pentagon as he cashiered three top advisers who have lengthy histories with the Defense Secretary. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss how the knives have come out for Hegseth, demanding his resignation, and why powerful interests at the Pentagon may be eager to see him go — and it has nothing to do with the so-called “Signal” controversies. Plus segments on Trump’s berating Volodymyr Zelensky for stonewalling negotiations to end the Ukraine War, Trump similarly posting “Vladimir, STOP!” to Putin about recent Russian attacks on Kiev and new Syrian president Ahmed al-Sharaa’s recent attempts to cozy up to Israel. Also featuring Mike MacRae and Stef Zamorano. And a phone call from Vince Vaughn!…

Douglas Murray Punches Himself In The D*ck In Epic Meltdown! 1:01:05

21 день тому1:01:05

1:01:05

After being embarrassed over his lack of an argument and insistence on semantic minutiae during his appearance on the Joe Rogan podcast, British political commentator Douglas Murray raced to the New York Post to pen an opinion piece demanding better “standards” for podcasters like Rogan. Except while decrying the lack of “truth” and “honesty” of Rogan and others, Murray lets loose with a torrent of his own dishonesty and half-truths. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss how laughable it is to suggest a code of standards for podcasters — meaning fealty to the Zionist party line — when such standards are noticeably absent in mainstream journalism. Plus segments on the UK following through on plans to dim the sun to combat climate change and a recent poll showing a sharp drop in Americans’ support for Israel. Also featuring Mike MacRae, Norman Finkelstein and Stef Zamorano. And a phone call from George Clooney!…

Rogan SAVAGELY Mocks Ex-Guest Douglas Murray! 1:01:25

1:01:25

On a recent episode of his podcast, Joe Rogan and his guest Tim Dillon mocked The Spectator’s associate editor Douglas Murray for promoting “war tourism” and the notion that people should be barred from commenting on political issues in countries they’ve never visited Rogan specifically imitated Murray’s British accent to say, “You’ve never beeeeen?” and insist that traveling to a war zone before criticizing anyone involved in the war is basic “courtesy.” Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss whether Joe was mimicking Jimmy’s previous mockery of Murray from his appearance on Rogan’s podcast. Plus segments on Marco Rubio’s announcement that the Trump administration is ready to wash its hands of the Ukraine War, the White House antisemitism task force furiously backpedaling over the demand letter “mistakenly” sent to Harvard and the Trump administration announcing it will soon begin importing cheaper pharmaceuticals from Canada. Also featuring Mike MacRae and Stef Zamorano. And a phone call from JD Vance!…

The Trump White House re-launched the govenrment’s official COVID-19 website on Friday. The revamped site blames the origins of the coronavirus on a lab leak in China while criticizing former President Joe Biden, former top U.S. health official Anthony Fauci and the World Health Organization. The website is also critical of steps like social distancing, mask mandates and lockdowns. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss how not even this level of government sanctioned critique of the nation’s COVID policy will be sufficient to shake some hopeless deadenders in the media and comedy community who refuse to engage in even the most cursory reexamination of their mistaken views over the pandemic. Plus segments on British political commentator Douglas Murray’s savage takedown of… British political commentator Douglas Murray, Trump’s all-out assault on academic freedom and Chinese commentators’ better understanding of the United States than Americans’.

Trump’s Constitutional Crisis Began By OBAMA! 1:02:36

1:02:36

The Trump administration’s aggressive deportation practices, whether sending alleged gang members to a notorious El Salvadoran prison or rounding up foreign students for opposing Israel’s war in Gaza, have led many pundits and others to raise the alarm about a Constitutional crisis and the evisceration of due process. But as Jimmy points out, this crisis has been decades in the making, and dates back to when Nobel Peace Prize-winner Barack Obama maintained a “kill list” and signed into law the virtual elimination of Habeas Corpus. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss why now all the President has to do is cry “terrorism” and Constitutional protections fly right out the Oval Office window. Plus segments on the recent all-women Blue Origin “space flight” and the pro-Palestinian protester removed and arrested at a Bernie Sanders rally. Also featuring Stef Zamorano!…

Bill Maher Gives Up Trump Derangement Syndrome For One Night! 59:33

59:33

On Friday’s episode of Real Time, host Bill Maher opened up about a surprising meeting he had last week with former President Donald Trump at the White House. Maher said the encounter was far more cordial and humorous than he ever anticipated. “You can hate me for it, but I’m not a liar. Trump was gracious and measured,” Maher said. “And why isn’t that in other settings—I don’t know, and I can’t answer, and it’s not my place to answer. I’m just telling you what I saw, and I wasn’t high.” During the meeting, Maher brought along a printout of Trump’s past insults directed at him. Surprisingly, Trump took it in stride and even signed it with what Maher described as “good humor.” Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the hype surrounding Maher’s visit to the White House and whether the Real Time host was merely charmed by Trump the consummate politician. Plus segments on actor Michael Rapaport whining that his pro-Zionist activism has cost him work in Hollywood, Glenn Greenwald schooling Megyn Kelly on the first amendment and Bernie Sanders mysteriously dropping his talk of the threat of oligarchy during the Biden presidency. Also featuring Mike MacRae and Stef Zamorano. And a phone call from Liam Neeson!…

Dave Smith & Joe Rogan HUMILIATE Douglas Murray Over Israel! 58:11

4 weeks тому58:11

58:11

American comedian Dave Smith and British cultural critic Douglas Murray recently joined Joe Rogan for a much-discussed episode of The Joe Rogan Experience. Murray confronted Rogan and criticised him to his face for platforming non-experts to discuss historical and political subject matter. Murray also claimed criticizing such figures was like “punching jelly” because they would fall back on an “I’m no expert” or “I’m just a comedian” defense. Yet when questioned about just who should be allowed to speak on which topics, Murray (who, by the way, has very limited credentials of "expertise") himself turned to jelly, arguing that he hadn’t said that only experts should be “platformed,” at which point he pivoted to arguing with Smith for referring to the United States as “we” when discussing the myriad wars the US has fought around the globe. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the series of semantic arguments Murray brought up throughout the show rather than debate the substance of even the subjects he brought up. Plus segments on the recent SCOTUS ruling that the Trump administration must facilitate the return of a Maryland man wrongfully deported to an El Salvador prison and RFK Jr.’s prediction that we will know the real cause of the autism epidemic by September. Also featuring Mike MacRae and Stef Zamorano. And a phone call from JD Vance!…
