The Jonathan Kogan Show

In this thought-provoking episode, we delve into the concept of the ⁠"Fourth Turning,"⁠ a term coined by historians William Strauss and Neil Howe to describe the cyclical pattern of generational dynamics and societal change. As we explore the current events shaping our world, we uncover how people are coming together in the midst of this turning, creating a powerful sense of unity and collective action.

Join us as we navigate through the latest headlines, dissecting the stories that are reshaping our societies, economies, and cultures. From technological breakthroughs to geopolitical shifts, we'll explore the multifaceted aspects of today's news landscape.

But this episode goes beyond mere news analysis. We'll examine the ways in which communities are responding to the challenges and opportunities presented by the Fourth Turning. From grassroots initiatives to global movements, we'll highlight inspiring stories of people collaborating across generations and backgrounds to drive positive change.

Jonathan Kogan:
What's up everybody? Welcome to The Jonathan Kogan Show. I'm your host, Johnny K. Let's get right into it. If you haven't subscribed to The Jonathan Kogan Show, wherever you get your podcasts, subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Now, very few musicians in songs have gone as viral as Richmond North of Richmond. Have you heard the song? We're gonna start this podcast to play a song. You know, who would have thought by the way that the counterculture would be country bumpkin conservatives. In fact, one of the greatest entrepreneurs, the founder of Y Combinator, tweeted something today along those lines saying that if you told him when he was a kid, I don't know, I think he was born in the like sixties or so, but what he exactly said was this, I'm pulling it up because we do everything in real time. If you told me as a kid that in the 2020s, liberals would be the ones punishing dissent and the protest songs would be conservative. I not only wouldn't have believed it, I couldn't even have imagined it. What do you think about that? So who would have thought the counterculture would be some farmer country bumpkin white boy singing this song that you're going to hear in about 10 seconds. That is representation of the counterculture every Major person, Joe Rogan, so many people have shared this across Twitter and social media, YouTube, Rumble. He signed up for Rumble account. He made his first Twitter account. It's got like 325 K in like two days, which is insane. I've never seen that in my life. So this song has gone mega viral and people like, um, Adam Taggart at Wealthion, great YouTube channel on business and finance, talks about how this could be the momentum of the push of the fourth turning of bringing people together. A sense of community. Um, you know, all the stuff needed to kind of rebuild our world in this fourth turning that we're obviously in. So here's the song. If you haven't heard it yet, here it is. If you have heard it, enjoy it. We're going to play the full, the full song right here. This is by Oliver Anthony, rich man, north of Richmond, by the way, one last thing before we play it, I looked at the iTunes charts just now, iTunes top 10 song charts. Oliver Anthony, who's this song, Richmond North of Richmond has gone mega viral, but that's it. Just that one. He has not only the first song with that one, he's got the second song, the third song, the sixth song and the 10th song. So he has five of the top 10 songs, including the first, second and third song, iTunes top 10 within two days. I mean, that's crazy. So anyone can do it. Here we go. Here's the song. Oliver Anthony, Richmond. North of Richmond. Let's go. Can we come together now? That is fantastic. That's amazing. Oliver Anthony, mega viral, crazy, crazy viral, absolutely unbelievable. Gets me pumped up, makes us think we can all come together. I'm bullish. As you know, in this podcast, we're the most bullish podcasts on humanity in the history of humanity. Doesn't say much because podcasts haven't been around that long, but if there were podcasts in Greece and Rome and all that stuff, which they may have had because, listen. We just found out, I guess like in 1902, there was a shipwreck and they already had a computer and it was from ancient Greece. So maybe, listen, maybe they had podcasts. We don't know. The elites could suppress it. We just don't know. So just want to start off with that. Good vibes, good music. Now I talk a lot about World War III and we're already in World War III. I've talked about that literally months ago, probably a year ago, because we just tell you the truth here and very few places do that for whatever reason. This was the most interesting thing I heard. So Pippa Malmgren, her father was an advisor to many presidents. And then she was also, uh, Dr. Pippa Malmgren, if I'm pronouncing her name, presidential advisor to Bush, uh, possibly to Clinton. And then her father liked to Reagan, to Carter, to like everybody. And she says that world war three started not with the invasion with Russia invading Ukraine. No, no, no. It was well before that. And the actual fight is a space race. Okay. We are at a once in a specie moment right now. She's saying, this is a smart woman, by the way, this is a very bright woman. So I want to play this for you. So, you know, I think this is probably when world war three actually started. So it wasn't the invasion. It was before that. So take a listen to what she says. Very important. Yeah, well that's just like terrible statesmanship and just having an awful administration pushing the three powers that were known not to push together to be on the same team, which is China, Iran, and Russia are never supposed to be aligned. But they're all aligning with their hatred of the West, in particular America. And listen, we're strong, we're powerful, but we can't take on everybody. It's just that in fact, that's how most empires fail. They fight too many wars at once, too many conflicts, and they spread themselves too thin and they fail. Then there goes the empires. Happen dozens of times throughout history, dozens. It's all in the Falls of Civilization's podcast. You can go learn about that. Now I'm glad to break the most interesting and best clips for you. It's hard work. I appreciate you listening. I appreciate all this together. And speaking about how it's cutting the cords of the internet, which by the way, is it interesting that simultaneously Elon is trying to build Starlink, which is a satellite. internet service, which may not have to depend on these cables perhaps. Maybe he knows more than we do and is countering that. I don't know. But that it is an information war is what we're in. It's not so much kinetic, right? Like she's saying it's space. Well, it's also propaganda. It's for your mind. It's for your soul. It's for, it's these information vacuums. It's propaganda. Okay. It's not a missile in your living room. All right. It's everything that you. consume on social media, on the controlled internet, on your phone, and the screen that you look at four to eight hours a day or more. It's to brainwash you. That's the war that we're in. It's a war literally for your mind. That's true. Okay? And what's interesting about that is there was this fantastic discussion on The Duran, which if you're not watching The Duran, it's one of the best geopolitical podcasts, that's YouTube channels that are is. And Alexander McCarris is one of the main guys, very, very smart guy. He just had a discussion with Thierry Baudet, who I believe is a politician from the Netherlands and John Lafland. And the three of them sat down and talked about how, what happened during COVID. And basically how it was literal. People laugh and say like, oh, you're a conspiracy theorist. You know, that got old after three years of being wrong, but conspiracy theorist, like it's a bad name. Like you're a bad person for being a conspiracy theorist. And then people forget like actual conspiracies actually take place. Okay. Like. When you have events like Event 201 that plans for a coronavirus that is going to break out and that you need to censor speech, you need to de-platform people, you need to suppress alternative medications except for the vaccine. And then that plays out in reality? Perhaps there was actually a real concert of conspiratorial effort by a group of elites. Crazy, right? No, not so much because they did it. That is real. Just Google Event 201. They haven't even scrubbed. The Google results yet the Johns Hopkins comes up and it tells you exactly what it is. And now they're running the same simulations for like catastrophic contagion, where they come for your kids. I covered that when it first came out. I mean, I don't even know how long ago that was eight months ago. You know, search on JSK dot transistor.fm for catastrophic contagion. If you want to consume that, but he talks about narratives and how that's part of the information control. And just, there's a little excerpt, just cause I want you to go listen to the video yourself. The video is called denying liberty, eroding democracy. with Terry A. John and Alexander. But I'll play this little clip from it because it's the power of narratives and the information war that we are in. And it's a really good explanation of what happened and what is currently happening actually. So here we go. So does that sound familiar? Trust the science, follow the science, listen to the experts. And people like Sam Harris can't understand that they lied to us and then they intentionally lied to us. People often think because you're a normal human and you're not a twisted sick person that you believe everyone's good hearted and wants the best for humanity and there's not psychopaths out there like Bill Gates, like they don't exist, right? Because you can't understand what it's like to want to hurt so many people, you just don't get it. Right? Because we don't get it. We're not sociopaths psychopaths, but you got to come to terms that there's evil. And it is what it is. Like it's uncomfortable. It sucks. I wish everyone was good. I think 98.7654721% of people are good, but listen, there's that small people that are not good, you know, that hurt children on islands, that run simulations for locking people down, forced injections, all that stuff. And we, it just so happens that the sick, twisted psychopaths. temporarily happen to be in charge of the world and running the world. Just a minor issue, minor issue. Now, can we take our world back? Yes. Okay. We can come together with people like doing this music with like Oliver Anthony, okay. And, and realizing that these Richmond, North of Richmond, which are the politicians, okay, maybe aren't on our team and that we need to figure out some counter action to their power and hunger for control. And so we needed to start coming up with solutions. We can keep pointing, you know, Pointing out the problems is almost as bad as causing the problems, because if you point out the problems with no solutions, you're adding no value. You're just stoking more emotions from the opposite side. It's not doing any good. Okay? So you need to be more active in your community. Maybe get active politically, whether it's mayor, whether it's school boards, whether it's building some sort of cohort of parents to help homeschool kids or to do something like cooking club where you guys can cook. Dinners for different families. You guys all sit across a picnic table by a fire. You know, we got to get back to those roots of humanity. They want us to be isolated. That's why they did the lockdowns. You can't see anyone. You need to put a mask over the diaper on your face. Okay. No diapers are for babies, not for your face. Okay. So a couple other things, uh, you know, I like the books. This is a weird tangent, but I like the books from, uh, what was it? Michael Lewis? I thought wrote good books. And then he wrote that COVID book, which is just, they, you know, obviously someone reached out to him and write, write a propaganda piece for the establishment. And he did it and he gave all, he sold his soul. And so that's how I knew he was obviously flawed and there are probably other issues with his story. And it's reported today on ESPN, blind sign subject, or Michael Orr. You know, the story about blind side where the white parents adopted the big black kid, Michael Orr, who was an incredible tackle, uh, Ole Miss and then Baltimore Ravens, really, really good. I don't think he let up a sack until the NFL, like really good. Um, Oh, that might've been a McKinney from university of Miami actually, but he very, very good. And these parents, uh, created a movie. Sandra Bullock was in it. Uh, what's Tim urban or whatever was on in it. And they were very good. Well, blindside subject, Michael or alleges the two East that's their name made millions off of a lie retired NFL star Michael or who's supposed adoption out of a grinding poverty by a wealthy white family was immortalized in the 2009 movie, the blindside. petitioned a Tennessee court Monday with allegations that a central element of the story was a lie, concocted by the family to enrich itself at his expense. The 14-page petition filed in Shelby County, Tennessee, Pro Bay Court alleges that Sean and Lee Ann Toohey, who took Orr into their home as a high school student, never adopted him. Instead, less than three months after Orr turned 18 in 2004, the petition says the couple tricked him into signing a document making them his conservators, which gave them legal authority to make business deals in his name. And guess what? That is what they did. The petition further alleges that the Tuis used their powers as conservators to strike a deal that paid them and their two birth children millions of dollars in royalties from an Oscar-winning film that earned more than 300 million, while Orr got nothing for a story that, quote, that would not have existed without him. In the years since the Tooey's have continued calling the 37 year old or their adopted son, and have used that assertion to promote their foundation as well as Lee Ann Tooey's work as an author and motivational speaker. He was never adopted. The whole story revolved around him being adopted and potentially, allegedly it was a lie. So immediately when you see someone sell their soul, like all the people who sold their souls during COVID and to be not only wrong, but 100% wrong in everything. and go all in and tell you you're the devil and that you should be banned from society and put in camps, you know, or have your papers like Nazi Germany, like at restaurants in New York City. Totally fine, right? Totally normal. Where are your papers? Where are your pens? So happy to ask you for your papers. I'll never forget. They were your papers. I'm like, what were my papers? OK, my people got out of Nazi Germany, man. You can't even write papers. You don't want my papers. We're talking about practice. No, it's crazy. And just really, really nuts. And people sold their souls and they demonize people. And it's so. crazy that they didn't realize that maybe they should have an open heart, open mind, because now they've been 100% wrong and everything. And now we need to let them back into society because they were the ones that look like absolute fools. And I am down for redemption. I think redemption is super important and people need a way back in. But the first step to coming back in is realizing how much of a schmuck you were and how much you lied and how horrible of a person you were. Like I had friends quote, like how many people do you know sold all their morals? and all their principles for COVID. It's just unbelievable. We need a reckoning of some sort. It's just crazy. It's crazy. Um, so yeah, so that's a lie. And, uh, another thing, a little update on California. I don't know if you've seen this, but there was a, I'll play the video. If you're watching this, if you're listening, I'll just explain it. But, uh, it's amazing that the governor of California is being considered to be like a president when California is literally everything's going opposite. It's like the worst place ever. There's more crime ever. So. in Nordstrom's in Los Angeles yesterday. 30 people came in and just stole like everything. Sorry, it's really loud. I'll turn the volume up. So as you can see on the screen, they're just taking everything, all the clothes, all the purses, all the bags, 30 kids. They're just in there. They've got their face covered with their diapers. See, Covid was good for crime. Very, very good. And they're taking everything. They're literally just taking everything and walking out. And guess what? They don't get in trouble in California. You don't get in trouble for crime. It's okay. It's acceptable. It's good. It's a way to give back to the community. They're just trying to eat bread. So they need 18 Louis Vuitton bags to eat bread, you know, loaf of bread. Hey, inflation. You can't get mad. So it's amazing to me that clearly there's one state that is the worst run state and that is California unbiased. Okay. Just, it's the worst run state. There's more crime. They have more homelessness people. San Francisco, you can't even, the federal building where Pelosi's people work in San Francisco are being told to work from home because it's too dangerous to go to the building. because of the drug scene out front and the crime. All right? And hey, they voted for that. So God bless them. Let them live in that society of chaos and anarchy. It's fine. I have no problem with that. But why people would then say that the person running that entire operation, which is the governor, should possibly bring that to the entire country like he's doing a great job, it's bizarre. Like he should be getting recalled or like replaced in another election, let alone should he be president of the United States? Like how long are we gonna live in opposite days? Like how long is this going to go on for opposite day cannot last forever. Okay. There needs to be reality and it's just this information control. I think people think that what's going on in California is fantastic. You know, in California, if a minor wanted to go in a tanning bed and had permission from their parents, they are still not allowed, but no one's up in arms about that, but that same minor can want to chop off their nuts. Or. take off their boobs and say, I don't have my parents permission, but I want to do it. The state will do it for them. What kind of upside down world are we living in? It's bizarre. So bizarre. Hopefully we can come together. Hopefully we can band together against the rich men and women north of Richmond. So I want to see if I got anything else to cover. You know, it's been nice that, oh, the Maui thing. Oh my goodness gracious. Now here's the conspiracy of the day. Here is the conspiracy of the day. Are you ready for this? So check this out. This is so crazy. This makes me think everything's just set up. So this is wild. All right. So Maui where the fires were, which by the way, uh, Biden said, no comment. They go, do you want to make a comment on the fires that have killed like hundreds of people in Maui? And he goes, no, no comment. So he's going on vacation actually. Just imagine if Trump did that. Just imagine if they go Trump, what are you doing about the Maui fires? No comment, just gets on his train, goes on vacation, goes to Mar-a-Lago. What would the media say? I mean, it's crazy. So this is from Tara Bull on Twitter. She says, anyone recognize this man? Maui police chief, John Pelletier, was also incident commander for the 2017 Las Vegas shooting. They'll tell you this is just a coincidence. So the Maui police chief. was the guy that was the incident commander for one of the sketchiest things that we still don't know everything about in 2017, which was the Las Vegas shooting. He went from Las Vegas during that specific shooting event to Maui as the police chief. And now there's a disaster in Maui. What is he a CIA op? Like what is going on here? This is just, this is insane. This is insane. Let's see what he says. That dude was a part of the Las Vegas shooting, which is so sketchy, by the way, if you look into that. Dave Colum was on the show twice. He goes deep into it. It is a very sketchy situation. And you're telling me that guy ends up randomly going to Maui as the police chief. And now there's a crazy disaster that is questionable. If it was man, like, well, what's going on? And the president's not even paying attention to it. What? We're saying we sent $200 million more in Ukraine aid, but we're not even focusing on the Maui fire that's killed 89 people. It's I'm not what is going on. And people are saying he's the best presence is Lincoln. In fact, he's better than Lincoln, Washington and JFK combined. We've never had a better leader. He's been there for the people every time there's a disaster domestically. He decides to do something internationally. I don't understand. It's very weird. Does anyone find this weird? Is it just me? Okay. Maybe it's just me. I thought he was the president for the United States of America, but I don't know. I don't know. That's not to hate on him or anything. I'm just speaking objectively. Also, I listened to Sam Harris. He just posted, I'm not going to play this, but he played a podcast, What Happened to the Republican Party? I listened to it, a conversation with Brett Stevens. And he says to Brett, you know, my comments about Hunter Biden's laptop was misconstrued because the viral social media clubs, and then he goes on to say, I don't care what's in that laptop. Trump is so bad that anything could be, he says the same exact thing that he said was taken out of context in the clip. This was in his podcast yesterday. I put it on my Twitter. You can go watch it at KOGZ. And then he goes, Brett, shouldn't you not report on Hunter Biden before the election because it could get Trump elected? And Brett's like, to Brett's credit, he goes, uh, listen, I disagree with you. Like, no, the news business is to report the news objectively. Uh, you know, if, if the, if it was Donald Trump jr, how would it be reported? And Sam's like, yeah, it'd be totally different. He's like, you got to do it the same way. You just, if it's credible news, which it is, you just need to report it. You can't censor it. You can't shut down the New York post. Right. You can't sign a letter saying it's Russian disinformation when they know it's not. You need to just report it, report it normally. And Sam's like, but it would get Trump elected, you know, like shouldn't that, uh, shouldn't you allow to do extraordinary things under those circumstances? And Brett's like, no, no. You got to do everything equally. You can't tilt the scales of an election. And Sam could not comprehend that. This is supposedly one of the greatest thinkers of our era has totally blown up and cannot get out of his hole because when I think when you hate a human or something so much, apparently this is true. I don't know. Apparently when you hate something so much, you are unable to be objective because you have such emotional hate that you cannot. put that subject in the conversation and be objective. Apparently you just can't see that you're not being objective. He literally says that on his own podcast, like, shouldn't we just be able to, you know, we don't want to be on Giuliani's timetable. And Brett's like, it has nothing to do with Giuliani coming up with the information. The information is the information. I don't care if it came from, you know, Bill Clinton's cock, it doesn't matter. You still got to put it out there. All right, now I don't know what would come out of Bill Clinton's cock, well, Monica Lewinsky would know, but who knows? All right. That's all I got for you today. Hopefully the news stays a little slow. I have a feeling something big is coming because we'll leave on this note. Michael Berry known for the big short of the great financial crisis. Also in the movie, the big short, he shorted the mortgage derivatives, right? Uh, mortgage backed securities and he made billions of dollars today. His portfolio came out and he is shorting the NASDAQ and he is shorting the S and P 500. the tune of a billion plus dollars. Today that came in. He's shorting it all, baby. Is this the big short part too? Is there a financial collapse that's coming? Keep your eyes out. Subscribe to the John and the Koga Show, show, wherever you get your podcast.
