1818 - "Bible Belt Buckle"

Speaker 1 It's a padcast.

Speaker 1 Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
It's Thursday, November 20th, 2025. This is your award-winning Give On Nation Media Assassination Episode 1818.
This is no agenda.

Speaker 1 Scrubbing files and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA, region number six. In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.

Speaker 1 And Brothers Silicon Valley, where the watch word is quiet, piggy. I'm John C.
Dvorak.

Speaker 1 It's

Speaker 1 Oh, man, of all the things, of all the things that have happened this past week, that's the one everyone's, oh, I can't believe he said quiet, piggy. I'm not even sure that's exactly what he said.

Speaker 1 He said, quiet, Peggy. Oh, he said, Peggy?

Speaker 1 There was a woman that the first, there was a confusion. I had it written down.
I don't have it in front of me. Oh, and why come prepared? There was a Bloomberg woman

Speaker 1 that was one of the reporters, and it was Peggy something. And there was another Bloomberg woman, and they attributed him telling the other Bloomberg woman, whose name was Christine Lucy, I believe,

Speaker 1 of saying quiet Peggy. No one's ever interviewed her, or this has never been confirmed.
So

Speaker 1 he was saying quiet Peggy, which was on the plane, you couldn't hear anything. And with this Queen's accent, quiet Peggy.

Speaker 1 That's it, right? Well, it was, you know, it was that what you've been bitching and moaning about, which is that plane interview, you know, know, that you can't hear anything. Yeah.
No, nothing.

Speaker 1 And so I said, yeah. And so they made a big fuss.
I do have one clip of a typical response to this is a TikTok clip.

Speaker 1 You know,

Speaker 1 what happened to you? I went nuts. Yeah.
So

Speaker 1 quiet piggy. I see like 10, 10 TikTok clips.
Yeah, they're all dynamite, but I got the quiet piggy one on here. This is what the typical reaction was.
And here's what's interesting.

Speaker 1 I believe, here's what I think happened. I believe that when he first said it, somebody caught it, and then they attributed it to this woman, this Lucy character.

Speaker 1 The press themselves put it out there so they could slam Trump. But if you listen to this rant from

Speaker 1 this woman,

Speaker 1 classic online rant, the media is who gets blasted for this, not Trump. Oh.

Speaker 1 This is the Piggy Chronicles?

Speaker 1 Is it what it says? That's what it says. Yeah, it's anything that says Piggy.

Speaker 1 Okay, here we go.

Speaker 4 Tell me why. I just saw the president of the United States put his finger in a female journalist's face and tell her quiet piggy and not a single other journalist in the area did shit about it.

Speaker 4 Am I shocked at the president's actions? No, that's not even the point of this video.

Speaker 4 But this man points his finger in someone's face and snarls quiet piggy and the rest of the press corps just stands there like absolutely nothing happened.

Speaker 4 And listen, listen, I grew up around journalists. I know how seriously they take professionalism.
They are trained to keep their cool. This goes beyond that.
This was demoralizing verbal abuse.

Speaker 4 That was not banter. That was not press tension.
And her colleagues just watched it happen. This is an utter failure of the press.
It is a failure of the entire point of the press in democracy.

Speaker 4 Journalists have got to stop fawning over access and start standing up for dignity and integrity.

Speaker 4 Imagine the impact if even one journalist had said, Hey, you don't get to talk to us that way, or you don't get to talk to her that way.

Speaker 4 Solidarity should not be optional when your colleague is being publicly shamed, demeaned, and abused.

Speaker 4 And let's be real, this is not the first time Trump has obviously harassed, abused, or demoralized the press, and no one stands up to him. Authoritarians don't rise because they're strong.

Speaker 4 They rise because people are too scared to push back, or they're too focused on their own self-interests when they cross the line.

Speaker 4 So, yes, obviously I'm disgusted with the president, what's new, but I'm more disgusted with these journalists who just stood up there and proved that not only are they being silenced, they are silencing themselves.

Speaker 4 Hmm. Well,

Speaker 1 she could have done it in half the time.

Speaker 1 I'm not arguing with that.

Speaker 3 This clip was way too long.

Speaker 1 I wish she would have tightened it up. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Well, but she did beat it to death, but it was aimed at the media, which I think is kind of the ironic part of it. Well, the president lashed out at all kinds of people and reporters.

Speaker 1 I didn't hear anyone coming to the defense of the ABC reporter.

Speaker 1 Well, I have actually a series of clips that involve that particular moment,

Speaker 1 including

Speaker 1 his takedown of Mary Bruce is who you're talking about. Yes.
You want to do that? Let's do it.

Speaker 1 We need to play something else after that lengthy TikTok clip.

Speaker 1 He can continue to complain about the length, but it was under two minutes, and that's my limit.

Speaker 1 This is the.

Speaker 1 Well, let's start. Let's do it.
Let's do the 3x3 if you want to play the jingle. Now it's time for a 3x3.
I'm ready. It's short.
Experiment.

Speaker 1 Always at the ready. Comparing stories from ABC, CBS, and NBC.

Speaker 1 He's got three clips in the big three, ABC, NBC, CBS. Will they sound the same? Will they have the same messaging? We're going to find out.
Who do we start with?

Speaker 1 Well, we're going to start with the Mary Bruce one, and that it will go from there. And this is the ABC clip.
Now,

Speaker 1 this is about the interaction between

Speaker 1 Mary Bruce and the Saudi prince. Yes.
Ben Solomon was in the.

Speaker 1 Well, he didn't say much.

Speaker 1 He actually did.

Speaker 1 He did say a lot.

Speaker 1 I'm sorry. He said, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 He can speak English. Audio about that particular moment.
Yeah, we chopped that guy up. Well, it was a mistake.

Speaker 1 It happens. We chop people.
It's what we do. Sorry.
I'm sorry. You break at Masaudi.
What do you want?

Speaker 7 Tonight, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, fully embraced by President Trump, welcomed to the White House with horses on parade, a military flyover, and a personal tour.

Speaker 6 Trump pulling out all the stops.

Speaker 7 Trump keeping praise on the Crown Prince.

Speaker 10 I'm very proud of this guy.

Speaker 7 But it was the CIA under Donald Trump who determined in 2018 that the Crown Prince orchestrated the murder and dismemberment of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

Speaker 7 President Trump bristling when I asked about that.

Speaker 11 Hold on a second.

Speaker 1 Dismemberment? No, no, no, no, no. They saw that guy in the little bits.
It wasn't just his arms and legs, was it?

Speaker 1 Well, they had to get him in suitcases, so I'm sure they chopped him up into smaller pieces.

Speaker 1 Yeah, well, I'm just correcting the record.

Speaker 1 But I think you still use the term dismemberment. I think just chopped him into little bits would have been better.

Speaker 1 She can't say that. She's not going to be.
And there's no proof of it, by the way. Oh, there's no evidence.

Speaker 7 Donald Trump, who determined in 2018 that the Crown Prince orchestrated the murder and dismemberment dismemberment of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

Speaker 11 President Trump bristling when I asked about that.

Speaker 12 Your Royal Highness, the U.S. Intelligence.

Speaker 1 Oh, this is interesting. She actually does the report herself.

Speaker 1 Isn't this like one of the main things you're not supposed to do in journalism is make it about you?

Speaker 1 When it comes to the press corps

Speaker 1 at the White House, they always

Speaker 1 tend to do just the opposite. They always do their own reports and they say, I said this, I asked them this, I asked them that.
Well, I asked the president this, I asked the president that.

Speaker 1 No, not true. Okay.

Speaker 7 President Trump bristling when I asked about that.

Speaker 12 Your Royal Highness, the U.S. intelligence concluded that you orchestrated the brutal murder of a journalist.

Speaker 8 9-11 families are furious that you are here in the Oval Office.

Speaker 14 Why should Americans trust you?

Speaker 12 And the same to you, Mr. President.

Speaker 2 Who are you with?

Speaker 12 I'm with ABC News, sir. You're with who?

Speaker 11 ABC News, sir. The president answering first.

Speaker 1 She cuts out the fake news.

Speaker 1 She cut that out. His answer was, you're fake news.
Yeah, cut that out. You're absolutely right.
Nice.

Speaker 3 That's what he said. Nice.

Speaker 1 I'm with APK.

Speaker 1 She cut a lot of stuff out. She made it look like she was doing her.
She's doing her. She's been on some other shows later, too.
She's pretty cool about it, but you can tell

Speaker 1 she's a liberal.

Speaker 1 Oh. Gambling anyone? You're with who?

Speaker 11 The president answering first, defending the crown prince, and instead criticizing the journalist who was murdered.

Speaker 10 You're mentioning somebody that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about.

Speaker 1 Damn it, I forgot. I should have mentioned this when you interrupted the clip.
If you notice when

Speaker 1 she said the CIA accused you of being

Speaker 1 a community, yes.

Speaker 1 And then she said, and 9-11 families

Speaker 1 are mad that you're here. Yeah.
Which is interesting. Well, because the 9-11 families know that it was Saudis who were actually behind the plot.
Was it him?

Speaker 1 No, he wasn't even in office at the time. Oh, but he's brown.
He's wearing a dress. Like, be mad at him.

Speaker 11 Instead, criticizing the journalist who was murdered.

Speaker 10 You're mentioning somebody that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about.

Speaker 10 Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen, but he knew nothing about it. And we can leave it at that.

Speaker 1 Wow, that's mob boss talk. Hey, you like him, you don't like him, things happen.

Speaker 1 What are you going to do?

Speaker 1 What am I gonna do?

Speaker 11 But the crown prince, who rarely faces the press, defended himself.

Speaker 2 It's really painful to heal

Speaker 2 anyone that's been losing his life for

Speaker 16 no real purpose.

Speaker 2 It's painful and it's a huge mistake. And we are doing our best that this doesn't happen again.

Speaker 1 Hey, man, I'm sorry. You know, it won't happen again.
It won't happen again.

Speaker 1 I promise you here, it won't happen again.

Speaker 7 Trump has been eager to cultivate ties to Saudi Arabia, traveling there for the first foreign trip of both his presidential terms.

Speaker 9 And his family has been doing big business in Saudi Arabia.

Speaker 1 There it is. Trump geted into Jedi.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 coming soon.

Speaker 7 Trump towers going up in Jeddah and in Riyadh, a Trump plaza now in the works. In the last year alone, the Trump organization's Saudi partner, pumping more than $20 million into the family business.

Speaker 1 Pumping, they're pumping it in. It's big, a big gas handle, pumping it in.

Speaker 1 Yeah, pumping it. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Let's not talk about the $600 billion to trillion dollars that Saudi is going to invest here. Let's talk about the $20 million they're pumping into Trump.
Pumping.

Speaker 1 And it's also as if the Trump organization, which he's not really running right now, he's got other things to do. Yeah,

Speaker 1 it's the kids. It's the kids.
And they're going to take it over anyway. That they're supposed to, what, shutter?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah. While he's president? Well, we all know this is fake.
It's not at all like Biden and Burisma. Shut up.

Speaker 1 So we go from there. We'll go from that was

Speaker 1 Bruce.

Speaker 1 Let's go to CBS. And

Speaker 1 CBS is still kind of on pretty much the same report, and they don't veer too much away from it. But

Speaker 1 they don't.

Speaker 1 They also leave out stuff like fake news.

Speaker 10 You ought to go back and learn how to be a reporter.

Speaker 17 The question that set Trump off was not an unexpected one.

Speaker 8 Now, who are you with? I'm with ABC News, sir.

Speaker 17 He was asked why Americans should trust his guest, the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, after the brutal killing of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi.

Speaker 1 Hold on, that's not what she did.

Speaker 18 She didn't say, Should you trust him?

Speaker 1 She didn't ask him if the president should trust him.

Speaker 1 Not at all. Okay, just pointing

Speaker 1 it up. The questions of the fly.
They're making it up. Oh, no.

Speaker 17 Of Saudi Arabia, after the brutal killing

Speaker 10 A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happened, but he knew nothing about it.

Speaker 17 That was not the conclusion of the U.S.

Speaker 17 intelligence community, which assessed in 2021 that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman did approve an operation in Istanbul, Turkey to capture or kill Khashoggi, who was a legal U.S. resident.

Speaker 17 Today, the Crown Prince called the killing.

Speaker 1 They make it sound like he's a citizen of the United States. Yes, legal U.S.
resident. Yeah, of course.
He killed an American man.

Speaker 1 Chopped him up.

Speaker 1 That's the implication, yes. What is Barry Weiss doing?

Speaker 1 I thought she was going to be pro-Trump. What's happening? Not doing anything.
That's what she's doing.

Speaker 17 Capture or kill Khashoggi, who was a legal U.S. resident.
Today, the Crown Prince called the killing a mistake.

Speaker 1 We've improved our system to be sure that nothing happened like that.

Speaker 2 And it's painful.

Speaker 1 It was painful for Khashoggi, I'll bet.

Speaker 17 The moment marred an otherwise lavish welcome for the Crown Prince, who rolled out the red carpet for Trump in Riyadh this spring.

Speaker 17 On the eve of this visit, Trump approved a plan to sell F-35 fighter jets to the Saudis for the first time, despite Pentagon concerns that China, a Saudi ally, could try to steal the plane's technology.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah, go ahead, steal that turkey.

Speaker 17 Trump was asked today if his family's deep business ties to Saudi Arabia are prompting preferential treatment by the U.S.

Speaker 9 government.

Speaker 10 What my family does is fine. They do business all over.
They've done very little with Saudi Arabia, actually. I'm sure they could do a lot.

Speaker 17 They already do a lot. In September, a Saudi-backed developer unveiled plans for a $1 billion Trump Plaza development in the seaside city of Jeddah.

Speaker 17 Just yesterday, the Trump organization announced a licensing deal with Saudi investors to build a luxury hotel in the Maldives.

Speaker 1 How did we get from 20 million to a billion all of a sudden? Well, no,

Speaker 1 what they did is they changed the

Speaker 1 model.

Speaker 1 It wasn't the Trump organization. It was a Saudi.
If you listened again,

Speaker 1 it was a Saudi developer who had the Trumps in as a partner in a, you know, there, so they're, yeah, so you could use the exaggerated number. Yeah.

Speaker 1 And And then they drop in something about the Maldives, which has got nothing to do with anything.

Speaker 1 Isn't the Maldives tipping due to climate change?

Speaker 1 Yeah, they're supposed to be. Sounds like a bad business deal to me.

Speaker 1 Yeah, oh, yeah, I'd say away.

Speaker 1 You don't want that. No.
All right. So that report was as slanted as the other one.

Speaker 1 It had a couple of elements that were. But again, no mention of the gigantic investment in the United States.

Speaker 1 Not one mention of it, except they're they're going to sell them a bunch of F-35s that the Chinese might steal. Yeah.
Ooh. Yeah.
Here's the keys, boys. All right.
And so,

Speaker 1 and by, and it won't be the current model, you can be sure of that.

Speaker 1 You get a 2022, boys. Yeah, giving you the 2026, all right?

Speaker 1 With it with a touchscreen.

Speaker 1 And there's, you know, you put fail-safe mechanisms in these planes.

Speaker 1 So here we go. Now, NBC, it turns out, another Trump hating

Speaker 1 network has, they actually,

Speaker 1 it's probably the mildest of the reporting, but it still includes the same most important things and leaves out the most important things.

Speaker 1 Tonight, President Trump rolled out. They all had that trumpet, though, didn't they?

Speaker 1 They love the trumpet. They love putting it as a nice nat pop.

Speaker 21 Tonight, President Trump rolling out the red carpet for Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, offering the kingdom's de facto ruler a lavish welcome, including an honor guard on on horseback.

Speaker 1 By the way, I should just mention: Mohammed bin Salman, as he says here, was the darling of D.C. before this unfortunate Khashoggi bonesaw incident.
Everyone was talking about MBS this, MBS that.

Speaker 1 They all loved him. Remember that? Yeah, vaguely.
Oh, yeah. Oh, MBS.
Oh,

Speaker 1 I was invited to MBS. Oh, MBS.

Speaker 1 And a military flyover.

Speaker 18 Including several F-35 jets, the same type of advanced fighters the president plans to sell to Saudi Arabia.

Speaker 21 President Trump touting Saudi Arabia's $600 billion of investments in the U.S.

Speaker 10 What it really means for

Speaker 10 everybody that really counts as jobs, a lot of jobs.

Speaker 21 Now saying the Saudi investment could rise to a trillion dollars.

Speaker 10 You're saying to me now that the $600 billion will be $1 trillion.

Speaker 2 Definitely, because what we are signing it to a facility that

Speaker 18 friendly reception for the Crown Prince, a major reversal from the international ostracism he faced after the CIA concluded he ordered the murder of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi in 2018.

Speaker 18 President Trump interrupting a question about the killing.

Speaker 10 A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happened, but he knew nothing about it, and we can leave it at that.

Speaker 1 The Crown Prince, who has denied ordering the murder, responding.

Speaker 1 We've improved our system to be sure that nothing happened like that and it's painful and it's a huge mistake while president trump was pressed about i like how he says we've improved our system what's he also what system is that he also says well he also says it was a mistake yeah

Speaker 1 and and i if you remember the reporting on this it was believed that they were trying to kidnap him and drag him back to saudi arabia to stand trial for him somebody went rogue and some well he the reporting at least some of it was that khashoggi was making such a fuss and causing such a scene, they had to hit him in the head or something, killed him.

Speaker 1 Oh, and he was killed. And now that they killed him, they had to figure out how to get him out of there.
But I just wasn't. I just was dead by accident.
You know, it was a mistake.

Speaker 1 I just love how we've improved our system. Of what? Killing people?

Speaker 1 What system is that, MBS?

Speaker 20 The crown prince, who has denied ordering the murder, responding.

Speaker 2 And we've improved our system to be sure that nothing happened like that. And it's painful and it's a huge mistake.

Speaker 18 Well, President Trump was pressed about his family's business dealings in Saudi Arabia, including Trump-branded luxury properties.

Speaker 10 I have nothing to do with a family business. I have left, and when I've devoted 100% of my energy, what my family does is fine.
They do business all over.

Speaker 10 They've done very little with Saudi Arabia, actually.

Speaker 1 Yeah. All right.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 So now before we get to the clip I wanted to play,

Speaker 1 there's one more, just to balance the three by three with a with a four, which is the Trump-Saudi overview from NTD. Okay.

Speaker 9 President Trump speaking today at the Saudi Investment Forum to top business and tech executives touting billions of dollars in financial ties between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia.

Speaker 9 He also vows to partner with Middle Eastern countries to work toward peace in Sudan at the request of the Saudi Crown Prince. Antides Mariotsu has more from the White House.

Speaker 10 The partnership between our two nations is among the most consequential in the entire world, and together the Crown Prince and I are making an alliance stronger and more powerful than it's ever been before.

Speaker 14 President Trump announcing that $270 billion in deals are being signed between dozens of companies today, thanking those companies for bringing jobs back to American workers.

Speaker 14 This coming just today, after rolling out the red carpet for Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in a day of pomp and circumstance, which culminated in a black tie dinner at the White House.

Speaker 10 This week our countries also signed groundbreaking agreements on civil nuclear energy, critical minerals and artificial intelligence.

Speaker 10 And we're going to be selling Saudi Arabia some of the greatest military equipment ever built, including nearly 300 American-made tanks.

Speaker 14 The Saudi Prince Tuesday pledging to increase his country's investments in the U.S. from a previously promised $600 billion.

Speaker 10 Yesterday, the Crown Prince announced that the number that they'll be investing in the United States is $1 trillion.

Speaker 14 And President Trump hailing the U.S.-Saudi strategic partnership, announcing.

Speaker 10 We officially designated the kingdom yesterday as the the major non-NATO ally. That's a big deal.

Speaker 14 President Trump also vows to settle the conflict in Sudan by working out a peace deal at the request of the Saudi crown prince.

Speaker 10 I just see how important that is to you and to a lot of your friends in the room. Sudan, and we're going to start working in Sudan.
I didn't think that that was one that was going to be

Speaker 14 the president adding how influential his tariff strategy has been in ensuring national security and brokering multiple peace deals.

Speaker 1 ABC, NBC, CBS had none of these details. No.

Speaker 1 What's the significance? Whatsoever. What's the significance of that? And

Speaker 1 they were boring, but they were more interesting. What's the deal with Sudan?

Speaker 1 The Crown Prince.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's what you'd want to know.

Speaker 1 The Crown Prince is upset about something going on down there, and he says it should. This is like a battle between

Speaker 1 classic battles. It's got to be oil.
Where's Clooney? Is what I like to know. But besides that,

Speaker 1 with this eye in the sky, you're right. Where is Clooney?

Speaker 1 It's like he wants it settled, and Trump says he'll do it.

Speaker 1 Whatever.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 I have thoroughly enjoyed this press conference, not for the nat pops and the obvious that the big three took away from it. But Trump had a shill in the audience.

Speaker 1 This was really good. And I take the president at his word that he's mad about this whole Epstein thing.
And of course, he doesn't help himself with

Speaker 1 calling the journalists fake news because his news doesn't get on the news. His news, which he's desperately trying, he needs help.
He needs help with these promotions.

Speaker 1 So he's trying to explain that obviously the money that's being brought in that's going to be invested into the United States in automotive, in ships, ships, Pennsylvania of all places, billions of dollars worth of

Speaker 1 shipbuilding contracts.

Speaker 1 but also for the AI and for the for the energy. And he had a GE shill in the room.

Speaker 1 This was new. This was new.

Speaker 1 Wasn't he a CEO? No, no, he's a regional guy. He's a regional guy for GE.
Oh, I thought it was the CEO. Verona.
No, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 1 Verona.

Speaker 1 What? You're talking about GE Verona.

Speaker 1 GE Verona. Isn't that the show you're talking about?

Speaker 1 No,

Speaker 1 I don't know if it's GE Verona.

Speaker 1 I thought it was just a guy from GE who deals with the gas turbines. Well, let's listen.
Maybe we'll learn.

Speaker 10 But on AI, we're doing well. And I have a man, David Romel.
Yes, sir. David, could you say a few words about

Speaker 10 what you're seeing on the job front and all of the

Speaker 10 assets, and also how we've been helped by the sorties in terms of the kind of investment they've made, please?

Speaker 25 Most certainly. Thank you for the opportunity.
I am a facility leader for GE Vernova.

Speaker 1 Facility leader.

Speaker 26 And if you look at the landscape for GE Vernova investment, over $750 million in the U.S. focused on true manufacturing jobs here stateside.

Speaker 26 We're looking at tripling the output of our Greenville, South Carolina facility, where we make the gas turbines that are supporting U.S. needs as well as the Saudi Arabia needs.

Speaker 26 So real jobs, $300 million in gas investment, resulting in over 500 pieces of new equipment being installed in the Greenville, South Carolina facility.

Speaker 26 That translates into roughly 1,800 jobs across the board for GE Vernova as we try to scale capacity to be able to meet this demand.

Speaker 1 Along with that, we're partnering with local communities to build the skill set that's required to meet these capacity needs.

Speaker 26 So that talent pipeline is incredibly important. So it's real jobs in the manufacturing space.

Speaker 10 Well, you've been great, and thank you very much. And we love that state.
I won that state by record numbers. I won a lot of states by record.

Speaker 19 Texas. Sure.

Speaker 1 A lot of them. Oh, yeah.
Texas. Indiana.

Speaker 10 We're working with Indiana or something right now. We won that.
We won a lot of them by records, but that was one of them. I want to thank you very much.
Say hello to everybody. Great job.

Speaker 10 You're doing a great job. Thank you.

Speaker 1 I love the trolls in the troll room. They have nothing but negative things to say.
Oh, these jobs won't really happen or these good paying union jobs.

Speaker 1 So this guy was, Trump has done this before, and every time he does it,

Speaker 1 we bring in a shill from a company who this guy's a facilities guy. Bullcrap.
This guy's a PR guy or spokeshole.

Speaker 1 He's too slick to be a facilities guy. Facility, of course.
That's what you are. So he comes in and he talks about the GE operation, which these guys are nuke guys

Speaker 1 and the modern.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 every time he does it, the company stock skyrockets. He's done this before with different kinds of.
I've noticed this.

Speaker 1 You bring this guy, and you watch this stock, and I'm not recommending stocks to anybody, but I'm just saying that this guy, this stock will skyrocket like all the rest of these.

Speaker 1 When he brings a shill in, yeah, I think there's more going on. There's more going on.

Speaker 1 Well, I think there's more going on. Now, the clip I wanted to play, which is the Mary Bruce clip,

Speaker 1 I just wanted to, so we can have

Speaker 1 an indication of what a bully Trump is with people he dislikes. Wait, is this one of your two-minute clips that's two-minute and 56?

Speaker 1 Unfortunately, you can cut it off, but I just want you to play the. You cut it off.

Speaker 3 Gotcha. Touche.

Speaker 1 Gotcha. Gotcha.
I mean, you're steamrolling me, man. I was steamrolling me with you.

Speaker 1 I said, holy crap, I can't put this. As soon as I put this clip on the list, Adam will call me out as a douchebag for doing it.
You're steamrolling me, man, with your two-minute clips.

Speaker 1 You're just steamrolling me.

Speaker 1 This one is this.

Speaker 1 This was a follow-up question later in the press conference. You saw this, I'm sure.

Speaker 1 Because Bruce is the one who asked the nasty question about Khashoggi being murdered by the guy sitting there. And, you know, and Trump's thinking, what is she trying to do? Queer the deal here?

Speaker 1 We're trying to get $600 to

Speaker 1 trillion dollars into the country, and she's trying to humiliate this guy. So he was irked.
Mr. Brother, why are we?

Speaker 1 Wait, wait. I still have to finish the setup because so you can understand where it came from.

Speaker 1 So later in the press, in the press back and forth, she throws in another question about the Epstein files. And I think it's because he was steaming

Speaker 1 that he jumps, because she asks a very, I thought, a very simple, almost an inane question. It was not strong-worded.
It was kind of not, it wasn't bad. But he jumps on her, jumps down her throat.

Speaker 1 It's unbelievable. But I think it's because of the previous action.

Speaker 8 Mr. President, why wait for Congress to release the Epstein files?

Speaker 12 Why not just do it now? Well,

Speaker 10 it's not the question that I mind, it's your attitude. I think you are a terrible reporter.

Speaker 10 It's the way you ask these questions. You start off with a man who's highly respected, asking him a horrible,

Speaker 10 insubordinate, and just a terrible question.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 10 you could even ask that same exact question nicely.

Speaker 2 You're all psyched.

Speaker 10 Somebody psyches you over at ABC. You're going to psych it.

Speaker 10 You're a terrible person and a terrible reporter.

Speaker 10 As far as the Epstein files is,

Speaker 10 I have nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein. I threw him out of my club many years ago because I thought he was a sick pervert.

Speaker 10 But I guess I turned out to be right. But you know who does have?

Speaker 2 Bill Clinton.

Speaker 10 Larry Summers, who ran Harvard, was with him every single night, every single weekend. They lived together.
They went to his island many times. I never did.

Speaker 10 Andrew Weissmann here. All these guys were friends of his.
You don't even talk about those people.

Speaker 10 You just keep going on the Epstein files. And what the Epstein is, is a Democrat hoax to try and get me not to be able to talk about the $21 trillion that I talked about today.
It's a hoax.

Speaker 10 Now, I just got a little report and I put it in my pocket of all the money that he's given to Democrats.

Speaker 1 Now, I'm just going to stop it here because this is exactly what I was saying. And he's unhinged.
He's unhinged here because her attitude wasn't that bad. But he's pissed off.
Not on that question.

Speaker 1 No, but he's pissed off that nobody's reporting on the, he says 21 trillion. I can't quite find 21 trillion.

Speaker 1 But it's certainly a lot of money. And that that's getting no press and that, you know, he's fighting the, what he calls fake news, but he's doing a very, an uncharacteristically poor job it.

Speaker 1 Well, I think he's discombubulated for a number of reasons. One, the Khashoggi thing with her, and that he's really mad at her,

Speaker 1 which I think has triggered this rant. But he's also, I think, irked at his scheme.
I wrote about this in the newsletter with some detail.

Speaker 1 I think his scheme to release the Epstein files before the primaries, or I'm sorry, not the primaries, the

Speaker 1 midterms,

Speaker 1 It went off the rails. Clearly.
He's screwed on this deal. Clearly.

Speaker 1 And he's mad because now it's useless.

Speaker 1 All this stuff will come out and blow over by mid-next year, by summer. It's going to be forgotten completely.
He will have no ammunition.

Speaker 1 He's been schumerized. I think Schumer, by the way, is behind a lot of this stuff.
And I credit Schumer with being smarter than everyone wants to think he is.

Speaker 1 Schumerized. Oh, that's like a Laura Loomer term.
Lumerized. Schumerized.

Speaker 1 And Schumer's behind a lot of this stuff, and he's working behind the scenes to screw up Trump. He's smarter than people want to give him credit for.
He's a schemer. He's an acts dumb.
And he

Speaker 1 seems slow, witty, reads everything, but he's got a lot of things going on. And Schumer's

Speaker 1 helped get this thing out of the way. So you get these files that have to be released by the end of the next 30 days.

Speaker 1 No, no, no, it's taking 30 days so the FBI can scrub Trump out of them, don't you know?

Speaker 1 Yes, this is all part of it. And the whole thing has got him irked to an extreme.

Speaker 1 But I don't want to go to Epstein. He screwed himself when he made the fuss.
Yes.

Speaker 1 I don't want to. Is the rest Epstein?

Speaker 1 No, it's mostly him blasting this poor woman.

Speaker 1 I'll play a little bit more. Play a little bit.

Speaker 10 He gave me none. Zero.
No money to me. But he gave money to Democrats.
And people are wise to your hoax. And ABC is,

Speaker 10 your company, your crappy company, is one of the perpetrators.

Speaker 3 And I'll tell you something.

Speaker 23 I'll tell you something. That's the one I just wanted to ask.

Speaker 10 I think the license should be taken away from ABC

Speaker 1 because your news is so fake and it's so wrong.

Speaker 10 And we have a great commissioner, the chairman, who should look at that because I think when you come in and when you're 97%

Speaker 10 negative to Trump and then Trump wins the election in a landslide, that means obviously your news is not credible, and you're not credible as a reporter. So I've answered your question.

Speaker 10 You should go and look at the Democrats who received money from Epstein, who spent their time. Larry Summers was with them all the time.

Speaker 1 Nobody, Mr. President, nobody cares about Larry Summers.
If you said Larry Summers, who is on the board of Open AI, Chat GPT, that might have gotten a little bit of legs.

Speaker 1 pre-care. Harvard is a pretty good thing, but he doesn't say that.

Speaker 3 He doesn't say that here.

Speaker 10 That creep

Speaker 10 of the fund guy was with him all the time. What's his name?

Speaker 2 Reed Hoffman.

Speaker 10 I don't know Reid Hoffman.

Speaker 1 See, he should know Reed Hoffman.

Speaker 1 This is bad that he doesn't know Reed Hoffman.

Speaker 1 I don't believe him. No, of course he knows Reid Hoffman, but why isn't he saying Reed Hoffman of what's that company?

Speaker 1 Didn't he do LinkedIn? No, he sold LinkedIn, and now it's, come on, the big

Speaker 1 CRM company.

Speaker 1 I don't know. Yes.
Well, we can figure this out rather easily. You can ask the robot, or you can just quickly look it up.

Speaker 10 But I know he spends a lot of money on the radical left. Reid Hoffman, in my opinion, should be under investigation.

Speaker 1 He's a spaceman. You know him a minute ago.

Speaker 10 Those are the people, but they don't get any press. They don't get any news.
And you're not after the radical left because you're a radical left network.

Speaker 10 But I think the the way you ask a question with the anger and the meanness is terrible. You've got to go back and learn how to be a reporter.
No more questions from you.

Speaker 2 Who else has a question?

Speaker 1 Yeah, it was LinkedIn, but didn't he sell LinkedIn?

Speaker 28 I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he did. He sold it to

Speaker 1 Microsoft, didn't he?

Speaker 1 Maybe he did. Anyway, Reid Hoffman's a drip, that's for sure.
Oh, he is. He's totally.
He's a drip. He's like Karis Wisher's buddy.

Speaker 1 Did you get the clip from her?

Speaker 1 No. The last pivot? No, no, no.

Speaker 1 I was going to get it. Then I said, oh, I don't know.

Speaker 1 I did not have enough hate this week. I didn't have enough hate.
I couldn't.

Speaker 1 I'll just tell you what she said. She says that Trump is done.

Speaker 1 He's going to quit. He's going to resign office before December,

Speaker 1 before the end of this year. Yes, just in time for Christmas.
Of course.

Speaker 1 All right. So I just want to stick with Saudi Arabia for a minute because a lot more was going on.
We had the U.S.

Speaker 1 Saudi summit, and that's why Elon Musk was there and Tim Tim Cook was there.

Speaker 1 Tim Cook was there? Tim Cook was there, yeah. Tim Cook showed up.
Of course.

Speaker 19 Because there's money. Money, money, money, money.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I realize there's money, but I didn't. They said that when every time I've seen the list of people show that showed up, Tim Cook was never mentioned.
Yes, he was there.

Speaker 1 Along with Jensen, Jensen,

Speaker 1 Denshin Wang, Jensen Kuang. What's his name? How do you pronounce it? Jensen? Jensen Wang.
Jensen Wang. Jensen Wang from Nvidia, or as the president says, NVIDIA.

Speaker 1 And so they have this sit-down, and they're all sitting there, and they're talking about Humane,

Speaker 1 which you spell H-U-M-A-I-N,

Speaker 1 which is

Speaker 1 this AI company from Saudi Arabia. This is the kingdom's flagship AI enterprise to drive global AI innovation.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah. Well, and it's so they say they're going to buy 600,000 NVIDIA GPUs,

Speaker 1 which is a lot, which may, you know, may have helped the rosiness of Wall Street yesterday. Although that seems to have tapered down a little bit because everyone's like, dropped today.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Where's the money coming from? People are not stupid. So then.
Well, at some point, you got to, you know, this round, this merry-go-round of money. I'll give you a million.

Speaker 1 Okay, well, I'll take your million, give it to this guy. And then I'm going to take that million, give it to this guy.
Round and round. And you get the million back.

Speaker 1 You go, well, I'm going to make it two.

Speaker 1 Well, let's make it a trillion. In NVIDIA's

Speaker 1 statement, their written statement, they even said, we're not even sure that the, you know, the hundred billion dollars from

Speaker 1 open eye, open AI, which they base a lot of their forward-looking performance on, that it will actually happen. It says, you know, we have an agreement.
Doesn't mean that it'll happen.

Speaker 1 It's like, okay.

Speaker 1 There's all, this is, this thing is amazing. So Elon Musk.
It's a house of cards. That's a technical term.
Yes. So Elon is there, and Elon is there because,

Speaker 1 let me see, I have it here. X, XAI will be, is collaborating with human.
By the way, whenever you call something as nefarious as AI humane, like, that's like Patriot Act.

Speaker 1 You know, like, you know, there's nothing humane about it.

Speaker 1 So there's a 500-megawatt data center project, which will use NVIDIA chips and supposedly XAI's processing or their system or whatever.

Speaker 1 Write songs for the No Agenda Show.

Speaker 1 Exactly. It's really good for that.

Speaker 1 And then Musk just goes off

Speaker 1 on this futuristic tangent that I just had to clip and share.

Speaker 25 With Tesla, we wanted to make electric cars compelling and affordable. That was the goal.

Speaker 25 With respect to humanoid robotics, there are no no useful humanoid robots at this point.

Speaker 25 There are sort of gimmicks, but there are no actually useful humanoid robots.

Speaker 25 And I think Tesla is going to make the first actually useful humanoid robots. And this will be quite a revolution, and I think something that

Speaker 1 everyone will want.

Speaker 25 Because I always think of like, who wouldn't want their own personal C3PO R2-D2?

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah?

Speaker 25 Of course.

Speaker 1 Everyone would want one. Right? Right.

Speaker 25 And then there would be many in industry providing products and services. This is why I say that humanoid robots will be the biggest industry, or the biggest product ever.

Speaker 25 Bigger than cell phones or anything else, because everyone's going to want one,

Speaker 25 or maybe more than one, and there will be many in industry.

Speaker 25 But AI and humanoid robots will actually eliminate poverty.

Speaker 25 My prediction is that work will be optional.

Speaker 1 Optional. Optional.

Speaker 1 Yes, optional work.

Speaker 22 We'll take that.

Speaker 25 Yeah.

Speaker 25 I mean, it'll be like playing sports or a video game or something like that.

Speaker 25 If you want to work,

Speaker 25 you know, in the same way, like

Speaker 25 you can go to the store and just buy some vegetables, or you could grow vegetables in your backyard. It's much harder to grow vegetables in your backyard, but some people still do it.

Speaker 1 I'm smelling ketamine.

Speaker 25 If you go out long enough, assuming there's a continued improvement in AI and robotics, which seems likely, the money

Speaker 25 will stop being relevant at some point in the future.

Speaker 1 Okay, so he's taken the World Economic Forum's you will own nothing and be happy to.

Speaker 1 Work will be optional. Money will be irrelevant.
Come on.

Speaker 1 This is nuts.

Speaker 1 That's a shark jump of epic proportion. Your

Speaker 1 shark jump. Epic proportion.
Your little insert there is probably right on the money. Yes, I smell ketamine.

Speaker 1 I want to remind people of a little history here. We had a superstar

Speaker 1 who I know,

Speaker 1 an entrepreneur named Nolan Bushnell. Oh, Nolan.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Do you remember his robot? No, I don't remember Nolan Bushnell at all.
Well, Nolan Bushnell is a very famous guy.

Speaker 1 He started off by inventing Pong, and then

Speaker 1 he owns Chuck E. Cheese is his thing, too.
But he had a bunch of companies, and his big invention in 1983, he had a robot because this was their 83.

Speaker 1 I remember very clearly because I was writing the Topo robot. Topo.
Topo. And the Topo was a big deal, and it was the year of the robot.
That's what everyone called it.

Speaker 1 If you look at all the computer magazines in that era, year of the robot. This is the year, the robot.
And they had an exhibit of Topo, the robot,

Speaker 1 at comdex i believe or yes probably comdex and topo was the whole job was to go to they had a stage set up and topo would go and make a route to the refrigerator some somehow open the door of the refrigerator and grab a beer and then bring the beer to the owner it's a lot it reminds me of the ibo remember the sony ibo that that came much later yeah i know but the sony ibo was oh this is you're all gonna have a robot dog.

Speaker 1 Yeah. It was like a $400 robot dog.

Speaker 1 $400? I thought there was more than that. It was expensive.
And it basically did nothing.

Speaker 1 So, all right. So since we're on history, then Jensen comes in to talk.
And this is the most

Speaker 1 bearish talk on AI that I've ever heard.

Speaker 1 There's no news about

Speaker 1 how it's going to be smarter than human beings, smarter than the smartest professors. So he's pretty realistic.

Speaker 1 Just as a reminder,

Speaker 1 his company, this has never been released as information, but his company did a huge study on productivity of AI

Speaker 1 and they could not find any positive benefits.

Speaker 1 MIT.

Speaker 1 He's got a dim attitude about it. Yeah, well, MIT

Speaker 1 published their paper and basically said the same.

Speaker 1 But he makes a claim here that I want to put to the test by asking you.

Speaker 22 Are we going to have an AI bubble?

Speaker 1 Well, so the question is, are we going to have an AI bubble? But he'll get into why, of course not.

Speaker 22 That's the last question.

Speaker 1 All right.

Speaker 1 All right.

Speaker 22 Well, let me just tell you what we see.

Speaker 1 Okay, so

Speaker 22 I think it's really important when you look at what's happening around the world and go back to first principles of what's happening in computer science and computing.

Speaker 22 There are three things that's happening. The first thing is that we all know that Moore's Law has run its course and the ability to...

Speaker 1 What?

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 1 Moore's Law has run its course. Moore's, just so we can take this into context, please give us the definition of and maybe some background on Moore's Law.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Gordon Moore came up with this idea back in. He's from Intel, right? Gordon Moore.

Speaker 1 One of the founders of Intel decided that he noticed this because he worked at Fairchild and

Speaker 1 then they started Intel and he felt that the number of transistors

Speaker 1 per square centimeter

Speaker 1 was doubling and it would continue to double

Speaker 1 every

Speaker 1 I think the initial thought was every 12 months, but then I think it people changed Moore's Law to every 18 months the number of transistors will double and that means that the that means that the size, price, everything

Speaker 1 it would be at the same price or lower

Speaker 1 Yes,

Speaker 1 but twice as powerful.

Speaker 1 Because more transistors is more powerful, so you get more power for the same amount of money in the same die space. And that was the idea.
And it was going to continue for

Speaker 1 umpteenth years. It seems to still be in play,

Speaker 1 more or less. Well, not according to Jensen.
It has run its course. Now it's more expensive.

Speaker 22 The first thing is,

Speaker 1 it's

Speaker 1 more expensive.

Speaker 22 That Moore's Laws run its course and the ability, the amount of demand for computing versus the amount of computation we can get out of general purpose computing is really challenging.

Speaker 22 And so the world's been moving to accelerated computing for some time. We've been pushing this now for over 20 years.

Speaker 1 I love the term accelerator. He doesn't call it AI, he calls it accelerated computing.

Speaker 22 Let me give you one statistic. I was just at supercomputing.

Speaker 1 Six years ago,

Speaker 22 CPUs were 90%

Speaker 22 of the world's supercomputers, top 500 supercomputers. Six years ago.
This year,

Speaker 22 less than 15%.

Speaker 22 Went from 90% to 10%,

Speaker 22 and meanwhile, accelerated computing went from the other way, 10% to now 90%.

Speaker 22 Okay, so you're seeing that inflection point, the transition in high-performance computing from general purpose computing to accelerated computing. Well,

Speaker 22 one of the most data intensive, one of the most intensive computation computation things that the world does in the cloud is data processing.

Speaker 22 Several hundred billion dollars of computation is done on just raw data processing. It has nothing to do with AI.

Speaker 22 Just SQL processing, data frames, everybody's names, address, their sex, their age, where they live, how much money they make. All of that sits into a data frame.

Speaker 22 And that data frame drives the world today, whether it's in banking or whether it's in credit cards or, of course, e-commerce, and everything from ad recommendation, and everything is driven off of that data frame.

Speaker 22 That data frame costs hundreds of billions of dollars to go compute. And so that's the number one thing.
End of Moore's Law.

Speaker 1 End of Moore's Law because we need accelerated computing to

Speaker 1 slice and dice your information. Moore's Law has nothing to do with the kind of computing you do.
It has to do with the number of transistors you can put on a die. I don't know.

Speaker 1 It's neutral to what he's talking about. What you got to do is just throw out words like data frames.

Speaker 1 It's those data frames that are really the problem.

Speaker 1 I really don't understand why he's. I think I'm trying to.

Speaker 1 Well, wait, there's more. I think you stumbled onto what he's trying to do.
Yeah, get ready.

Speaker 1 Get ready. Get ready.
There's a payoff, even.

Speaker 3 I got two more here.

Speaker 22 The second thing is generative AI.

Speaker 1 That's no agenda end of show mixes. What?

Speaker 1 And art. And art, yes.

Speaker 22 The most important application of the last 15 years is making art for the No Agenda Show. It's called Rexus.

Speaker 1 Rexus?

Speaker 3 Okay, here's a test.

Speaker 1 Do you know what Rexus is?

Speaker 1 I think he made it up. I think he made it up.

Speaker 1 I never heard of Rexus yet.

Speaker 22 Of the last 15 years. It's called Rexus.
Recommender systems. How do we know what information to recommend to us in a social feed?

Speaker 1 So,

Speaker 1 so you're algo, it's Rexus. Oh, so.
Oh, is this different than what we had 25 years ago when Nexus first started and started recommending movies? If you like this, you'll like this. Yes.

Speaker 1 Is that different? Is it somehow different? What he falls short of saying is that your refrigerator will know exactly when to order the milk. I mean, this is that level of bullcrap.
Bull crap.

Speaker 1 The worst

Speaker 22 to recommend to us in a social feed. How do you know what ad to recommend to somebody? What book to recommend? What movie to recommend?

Speaker 1 Oh, that's so hard. How about, hey, listen to Noah Jenna Show.
We give you tip of the day.

Speaker 1 We give you interesting stock stock insights. You don't need Rexus for that.
You need a podcast.

Speaker 22 The world is the internet, is so gigantic without a recommender system that the little tiny phone of us will have no chance of ever seeing the right information.

Speaker 1 So without Rexus, that little tiny phone will have no chance whatsoever of receiving the right information.

Speaker 1 This is bullshit. It is bullshit.

Speaker 1 Pardon me, but

Speaker 1 largely, it's mostly a retread of old ideas before AI and shoehorned into the AI model. Yes, we continue.

Speaker 22 That Rexis is the engine of the Internet today.

Speaker 1 It's the engine of the Internet. Oh, okay.
That's news to me.

Speaker 22 Yes, that's going generative AI. It used to be running on CPUs, now it runs on GPUs.
Which then says the third thing,

Speaker 22 if you just look at those two applications,

Speaker 22 Many of the Internet companies can build enormous number of GPU supercomputers just doing that. Of course, then it creates the third opportunity on top of it, which is agentic AI.

Speaker 22 This is Brock and this is OpenAI, this is Anthropic.

Speaker 1 Okay, so agentic AI, I'll just explain it real quick. Agentic AI is basically a Google search that you don't have to parse through.

Speaker 1 And I use it, you use it. You type something in.

Speaker 1 It's only an idiot wouldn't use it. Yeah, it goes out and says, okay, I found 40 web pages.
I'm going to read these. It's pretty good at that.
I'm going to summarize these.

Speaker 1 I'm going to do some basic reasoning, look at the contradictions, and I'm going to say, well, it looks like this is your answer, which is 30 to 50 times more expensive than throwing up a web page of pank rank page or page rank results and no ads, no way to monetize, and very expensive.

Speaker 1 That is agentic AI.

Speaker 22 You know, this is Gemini. Agentic AI sits on top of that.
But don't, you know, don't forget to think about what is happening above, underneath what everybody sees as AI today.

Speaker 1 What?

Speaker 1 Don't forget. Whatever you do, don't forget, which basically means forget.
Don't forget to what's going on above, underneath, over there.

Speaker 1 This, it's just not what you're seeing. It's magic behind the scenes.

Speaker 22 Above, underneath what everybody sees as AI today, there's a whole movement of computing from general purpose computing to accelerated computing.

Speaker 22 And that, if you just, if you take that into consideration, you'll come to the conclusion that in fact what is left over to fuel that revolutionary agentic ai is not only substantially less than you thought and all of it justified all of it isn't sales force all of it what justified it's all justified what do you mean justified what it just means justified

Speaker 1 What do you mean it's justified? When you're sanctified, you're justified.

Speaker 1 Tell me what it means. I don't know.
Hey, hey, Adam, it's justified. That means the expense that you're putting into this is justified.
Take it from me.

Speaker 1 Why did you say it that way? If you say that, I can believe that's maybe what he meant. One positive thing, he was wearing a suit.
He was not wearing

Speaker 1 a leather thing. No, he was not wearing it.
We were not cheap at all.

Speaker 1 He was not wearing the motorcycle jacket, a suit, a tie. And now, as he, the final clip.
I don't think he needs a tie in this

Speaker 1 era.

Speaker 1 It's the Saudis.

Speaker 31 He needs the money.

Speaker 1 He needs the money to go into everything to buy his chips. 600,000 chips,

Speaker 1 GPUs.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 now he's going to go off the rails with all of these. These chips are like, what do they cost? I think they're either $3,000 or $6,000 a pop.
The full GPU. Yeah, the GPU unit.

Speaker 1 That one GPU that's super expensive. Well, you can get them up to $30,000 or more.
I mean, they have all kinds of gear, but the

Speaker 1 low-end, $39.99 if you can get it.

Speaker 1 Anyway,

Speaker 1 $3,999. So now he's going to bring into this Humane thing, which is like, hey guys, you're going to buy this for me.
And look at all the cool things you'll be able to do with it.

Speaker 22 We're announcing all kinds of things.

Speaker 22 Our partnership with Humane is going incredibly well. First of all,

Speaker 22 we worked together to get this company started and off the ground. And just got an incredible customer with Elon.

Speaker 22 Could you imagine a startup company, approximately $0 billion in revenues, now going to build a data center for Elon? 500 megawatts is gigantic.

Speaker 22 This company is off the charts right away.

Speaker 1 Did he say, can you imagine a cover with zero billion dollars?

Speaker 1 Exactly. That's exactly what he said.
Why doesn't he just say with no sales? What do you mean, zero?

Speaker 1 With zero trillion dollars.

Speaker 1 What is the point of that?

Speaker 1 It's a propagandistic way of saying it, stating it. Most people, when they get up, they just put on their pants one leg at a time.
Jensen gets up and he thinks billions, even if it's zero.

Speaker 1 This show makes zero billion dollars a year. And can you imagine? Can you imagine a podcast that started by making zero billion dollars a year?

Speaker 22 It's amazing. Zero billion dollars in revenues.
Now,

Speaker 22 going to build a data center for Elon. 500 megawatts is gigantic.
This company is off the charts right away.

Speaker 1 No, it's not. It's not even built.
There's nothing built 500 megawatts. It's off the charts right away.
It was zero billions.

Speaker 22 In addition to that, we're

Speaker 22 working.

Speaker 22 AWS, as you know, is also coming up. Congratulations.
Congratulations to the Humane team with AWS.

Speaker 1 Yeah, congratulations.

Speaker 1 Mary McCord.

Speaker 22 So AWS is also coming to Humane. We're working with Humane on Omniverse Digital Twins.

Speaker 1 Omniverse Digital Twins. Oh man, I'm hanging on his every word now.

Speaker 22 As you know, that AI is not just

Speaker 1 what the hell is omniverse digital twins? It's, I don't know, but I want some. I need it.
After my robot, I need some omniverse digital twins.

Speaker 1 This is smoke. He's off the rails.
What happened to him? Gets better. AWS is also coming to Humane.

Speaker 22 We're working with Humane on omniverse digital twins.

Speaker 22 As you know, that AI is not just

Speaker 22 agentic AI and chatbots and cognitive AIs.

Speaker 1 No, that's exactly what it is. It's chat bots and

Speaker 1 questions and

Speaker 1 chat bots and art and videos. It's nothing.

Speaker 22 Did you know? Okay, hold on.

Speaker 1 An omniverse digital twin is a physically accurate, real-time vertical replica of an object, process, or environment created on the NVIDIA Omniverse platform. Ooh, the Omniverse.

Speaker 1 The Omniverse platform. What is the Omniverse? It integrates with Enterprise Ecos.

Speaker 1 This is good gobbledygook. Listen to this.

Speaker 3 This is great. This is great.

Speaker 1 It integrates with Enterprise.

Speaker 1 I wish I had the right voice for it. It integrates with enterprise ecosystems connecting real-world data from sources like Internet of Things sensors,

Speaker 1 MES, and ERP systems to the photorealistic 3D model for visualization and analysis.

Speaker 1 This enables companies to simulate, optimize, and monitor operations in a virtual space, improving design, planning, and efficiency for applications raising from factories and data centers to, and it goes on and on and on.

Speaker 1 He should cut his hair into a mohawk.

Speaker 1 That's a very inside joke.

Speaker 1 Good one, though. Thank you.

Speaker 22 As you know, that AI is not just

Speaker 22 agentic AI and chatbots and cognitive AI is incredibly important to the world.

Speaker 22 But AI applies to everything: chemicals, and proteins, and genes, and physics, and fluid dynamics, and particles, and of course, robotics and activation.

Speaker 22 And we created this world called omniverse.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's important to activate. What the hell is that about?

Speaker 1 Activation, baby. It's activation.

Speaker 22 Robotics and activation.

Speaker 22 And we created this world called Omniverse where robots can learn how to be good robots.

Speaker 1 Oh, the Omniverse teaches robots how to be good robots. There it is.
That's what robots are we talking about? The ones that don't exist yet.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 22 And we created this world called Omniverse where robots can learn how to be good robots. And

Speaker 22 it's physically based. It obeys the laws of physics.
And so robots can learn.

Speaker 1 Don't all robots have to obey the laws of physics?

Speaker 1 Doesn't everything in the physical world have to obey the laws of physics? Get catch. I mean, come on.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 a world called Omniverse,

Speaker 22 where robots can learn

Speaker 22 how to be good robots. And

Speaker 15 it's physically based.

Speaker 1 Here comes the kicker.

Speaker 22 It obeys the laws of physics. And so robots can learn in these environments.

Speaker 22 And we're working with Humane to apply Omniverse to all kinds of digital factories and robotics and warehouses and things like that.

Speaker 1 Digital factories. What do the digital factories make?

Speaker 1 Digitals.

Speaker 31 Digital cars?

Speaker 1 No, just digitals. Digitals.
Now wait for it because here's the kicker.

Speaker 22 And so that's another.

Speaker 22 We're also working in Saudi Arabia to build supercomputers to simulate quantum computers.

Speaker 22 And

Speaker 22 using our computers to be the controller and the error correction, one quantum error correction requires an enormous amount of computation. And so we're doing a lot of great work there, too.

Speaker 22 So a big partnership with Humane.

Speaker 1 They're off the charts, off the ground, on the charts.

Speaker 1 Off the ground, off the charts. We're going to simulate quantum computing.
Okay.

Speaker 1 Come on.

Speaker 1 So no wonder. Okay, then

Speaker 1 that's the end.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 So just as. Simulate quantum.
Why? That makes zero sense.

Speaker 1 They can't make a quantum computer. How can you simulate something you can't make?

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 To balance that bold.

Speaker 1 This is the worst case example of this is going back to our Silicon Valley days where

Speaker 1 they had Silicon Valley speak. He's reinvigorated it.
Yes. And they've decided to make their own linguistic

Speaker 1 models. Off the ground and off the charts.
And by the way, activation does somehow fit in with omnibus, whatever the hell it is what was

Speaker 1 i can't find a definition for it what was the thing that jay the the word that jc came up with the phrase that that is being used it's like what is not what is the trend i can't remember what oh he has a bunch of these things he's tracked a bunch of i don't remember we need to write them down we need to write them down because there's yeah we do because this is getting good it's almost like back in the web design days um well what is the conceit of your website well

Speaker 1 i'm going to tell you not concept conceit All right, to balance this out,

Speaker 1 three clips, relatively short, except for the first one.

Speaker 1 Ned Block, professor at New York University, Department of Philosophy and Psychology.

Speaker 1 And there's a very long interview. It's really good.
And he wrote a paper, and he says, you know, Chad GPT, or

Speaker 1 he says Chad GPT, but in general, he means large language models, AI, has no intelligence. And he wrote a paper about it.

Speaker 27 Mere intelligent responding does not show intelligence of the machine that is doing the responding, because the machine's responses can be just conduits for something that somebody has put into it.

Speaker 1 Am I right that maybe in this paper you referred to it as a string searcher? Or the string searcher? Yeah. Okay.
And that became the blockhead.

Speaker 27 That was one version of it, yeah.

Speaker 1 So the paper is titled Psychologism and Behaviorism. What is psychologism, and then how does that connect?

Speaker 27 Psychologism is the very minimal thesis that

Speaker 27 in order for behavior to reflect thought,

Speaker 27 you need an internal processing

Speaker 27 condition.

Speaker 27 But since we don't know what thought is, we can't really say what the internal processing condition is. But behavior isn't good enough.
That's the idea of it.

Speaker 27 And the reason this has come up in regard to chat GPT

Speaker 27 that people realize that ChatGPT is very behavior-dominated. And there's a recent paper by Raphael Millier and Cameron Buckner, which

Speaker 27 raised the question

Speaker 27 of the ChatGPT's and other large language models' intelligence in terms of to the extent to which it isn't a blockhead.

Speaker 27 So that the idea is that it isn't just reproducing what was

Speaker 27 in the database, although I have to say that there are a lot of things

Speaker 27 that

Speaker 27 ChatGPT does that are

Speaker 27 very memory dominated.

Speaker 1 And he gives us two examples which we can replicate ourselves. Everybody, bring up your ChatGPT.

Speaker 1 This is one we already knew, but they still haven't been able to fix it. And of course, it's because there's no intelligence.

Speaker 1 It doesn't actually understand your question and doesn't know how to interpret it and give you the correct answer.

Speaker 1 It just gives you whatever string it found that kind of matches your query and it spits it out.

Speaker 27 Try this. Ask it to draw a picture of a group of watches showing three minutes after 12.
Okay, so the minute hand and the hour hand are very close together. What you will get is 10 after 10.

Speaker 27 And if you do try to do 628 where the hands are very close together, you'll get 10 after 10 again. again.

Speaker 27 And the reason for this is that the pictures of clocks and watches on the web are dominated by 10 after 10 because it's the most attractive look.

Speaker 1 Absolutely. I think we've tried that one.
That wasn't new to me. But this one, this one is even better.

Speaker 27 Everybody in OpenAI knows about this and they have been unable to do it.

Speaker 2 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 27 This is a widespread example.

Speaker 27 It's been an example that people have pointed to for years.

Speaker 1 And they still can't figure it out.

Speaker 2 Well, I mean, they could, maybe there's some artificial way to get it.

Speaker 1 They can hard code it.

Speaker 27 But get the machine. You know, the thing they use to deal with problems like this is called reinforcement training.

Speaker 1 That's your hard coding.

Speaker 27 The reinforcement training hasn't worked.

Speaker 27 Probably because there are too many times other than 10 after 10 that would have to be reinforced. I'll give you a second example.

Speaker 27 Ask ChatGPT to draw a picture of somebody writing with their their left hand.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you will get a right-handed writer every single time. Every single time.

Speaker 1 So there's no intelligence in this stuff. It's just sucked it all up.

Speaker 1 But we know he's no nasty. I know, but this is fun for people to go to their friends and neighbors.
And

Speaker 1 you're going to have Thanksgiving and everyone's going to be, oh, yeah, I tried to draw.

Speaker 1 Yeah, why don't you ask it to draw a picture of a clock that says 628? Why don't you ask it to find a picture for you of someone writing left-handed?

Speaker 1 And then you will be amazing at this Thanksgiving dinner. People are like, wow,

Speaker 1 wow, maybe it's not smart.

Speaker 1 Just a thought.

Speaker 1 Just a thought.

Speaker 1 Well, I don't know how many Thanksgiving dinners you've been to, but I have never been to one where somebody has a computer at the table.

Speaker 1 Everybody has their phone, their phone.

Speaker 1 Anyway, now let's go to Epstein because this was the big, big, big story. And there were just some great moments in some of the mainstream reporting and coming out of the White House.

Speaker 1 The Senate approved the bill without even holding a vote.

Speaker 20 After near unanimous approval by the House, by the way, who pushed the bill?

Speaker 1 What?

Speaker 1 I hope they mentioned who pushed the bill through without the vote.

Speaker 1 It was Schumer. It was Schumer.
It was Schumer. They were Schumerized.
Yeah, okay. You made your point.

Speaker 20 The Senate approved the bill without even holding a vote after near-unanimous approval by the House Tuesday.

Speaker 19 The bill is passed.

Speaker 3 All of it is highly unusual in a city accustomed to political gridlock.

Speaker 20 The law orders the Justice Department to release all unclassified documents relating to Epstein and his associates within 30 days.

Speaker 33 We'll continue to follow the law and to have maximum transparency.

Speaker 20 There's potentially one big roadblock for transparency ahead.

Speaker 20 ahead: a new investigation ordered by the president, who told Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate ties between Epstein and prominent Democrats.

Speaker 20 The Justice Department and FBI previously said they did not uncover evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties.

Speaker 20 Now, on Trump's orders, the Attorney General has changed her mind.

Speaker 35 What changed since then that you launched this investigation?

Speaker 33 Information that has come forward.

Speaker 1 Information.

Speaker 36 I've got information, man. New shit has come to light.

Speaker 33 There's information that new information, additional information.

Speaker 1 Oh, man. This is going to be such a disappointment for everybody because we already know.
We just need the names. Massey already basically said it when he was cross-examining Cash Patel.

Speaker 1 And it's going to be some fun names. And, you know, we already understand a couple of them.
And just to

Speaker 1 regurgitate them here, here are the names that will be found in the files. These aren't the names, but you can guess most of them.

Speaker 35 According to victims who cooperated with the FBI in that investigation, these documents in FBI possession, your possession, detail at least 20 men, including Mr. Jess Staley, CEO of Barclays Bank.

Speaker 1 By the way, another

Speaker 1 takedown of the Brits with another British victim of the Epstein revelations.

Speaker 1 After we had Prince Andrew, after we had Mandelson, the ambassador to the U.S. from the U.K.

Speaker 1 Now it's the Barclays Bank CEO, Oopsie.

Speaker 35 Who Jeffrey Epstein trafficked victims to. Victims including minors such as Virginia Roberts Euphree.

Speaker 35 May she rest in peace. That list also includes at least 19 other individuals, one Hollywood producer.

Speaker 1 One Hollywood producer.

Speaker 1 Dana Brunetti? No. Seems unlikely.
You never know.

Speaker 1 He's hidden on the ranch. You don't know.
Okay. But you know what? I bet you he knows who it is.
I bet you he does too. And he's going to tell us.
If I stop pestering him about his Tesla.

Speaker 1 Teslas are great. Now tell us, tell us, tell us.
All right. If you say that, he'll tell us everything.
Okay. I love Teslas.
I wish I had a Tesla.

Speaker 35 Worth a few hundred million dollars. One royal prince, one high-profile individual in the music industry.

Speaker 1 High-profile individual. That could be anybody.
But I'm thinking Clive. Yeah, but Clive is gay, and they only have female victims.

Speaker 1 Clive is gay. He's gay as a $3 bill.
He's part of the Diddy thing. He got out of that.

Speaker 1 He got off scot-free. He was definitely part of it.
I wonder who it could be.

Speaker 1 I don't know.

Speaker 1 Maybe it was Diddy.

Speaker 1 He could be deemed. Yeah, he could be deemed.

Speaker 1 No, that would have been, he'd been caught up in that by now. Let's continue.

Speaker 35 One very prominent banker.

Speaker 1 That will be

Speaker 1 Barclay's guy.

Speaker 1 Or just another banker. Well, it's got to be someone of J.P.
Morgan Chase.

Speaker 1 And I don't think it's Jamie Dimon, but it's got to be one level below him because the things that J.P. Morgan Chase was doing with his money.
How much do you need? Cash? $800,000? Okay.

Speaker 1 Send $50,000 to that girl. Yeah, it has to be somebody of J.P.
Morgan. You're right.

Speaker 35 One high-profile government official.

Speaker 1 Now,

Speaker 1 Clinton. It has to be Clinton.

Speaker 1 Of course.

Speaker 35 One high-profile former politician.

Speaker 1 Well, that could also be Clinton. Well, that could be Clinton, too.
He's in there twice. So there's got to be at least one.

Speaker 1 There could be so many.

Speaker 1 This one, this is a mystery. We will soon know.

Speaker 35 One owner of a car company.

Speaker 1 That's got to be the Ferrari guy.

Speaker 1 In Italy. They kind of.
Yeah, in Italy.

Speaker 1 No. Listen, listen, listen, listen, listen.

Speaker 35 One high-profile former politician, one owner of a car company in Italy.

Speaker 1 Come on, in Italy. What other guy in Italy? Fiat.

Speaker 1 Man. Those Ferrari guys don't need to go to this place.
Come on. Okay.
They got one Ferraris to drive around. They can get anyone they want.
Hey, babe. Want to ride?

Speaker 35 One rock star.

Speaker 1 One rock star.

Speaker 1 Well, you should know who this is. Oh, man.
Bernetti knows who the producer is. You have to know who this is.
I'm hoping it's Bono.

Speaker 1 That would just, that would, that would, oh, that would really be great. That would be perfect.

Speaker 1 That would be great versus Bono. That would be excellent.

Speaker 35 One magician.

Speaker 1 That's got to be Copperfield. There's no other magician.
One magician. What other magician?

Speaker 1 And Copperfield, I think he was on one of the flights, wasn't he? Wasn't he in the flight log? Was he?

Speaker 1 Then it would be him.

Speaker 3 Yeah.

Speaker 1 And he always. He looks like that kind of guy.
He looks like that kind of guy.

Speaker 1 He just has a look.

Speaker 35 At least six billionaires, including a billionaire from Canada. We know these people exist in the FBI files, the files that you control.
I don't know exactly who they are, but the FBI does.

Speaker 1 Yeah, so we'll find out. And the six billionaires will include Bill.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Bill. Five other billionaire, or four others, and one in Canada.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 The Canadian billionaire is probably a property guy. Now, but notice Massey didn't say these girls were underage.

Speaker 1 Trafficking can be

Speaker 1 can be

Speaker 1 transporting someone across state lines, even if

Speaker 1 it's with their

Speaker 1 cooperation.

Speaker 1 It's all so sketchy. Well, what we really want to know is what about MI6?

Speaker 1 What about Mossad? What about CIA? What about these connections? What about your connections to MIT, Joey Ito? Come on, this is the stuff that we care about. Everyone's

Speaker 1 pedophiles. It's going to be less than you think.

Speaker 1 Pretty sure of that. It's going to be disappointing.

Speaker 38 Because, you know, they scrubbed. That's always disappointing.

Speaker 1 That's the whole theme that we've noticed over almost

Speaker 1 over 18 years of doing the no agenda era. Yes.
Well, they scrubbed Trump out of it, man.

Speaker 1 That's why he had the 30 days. Scrubbed him.
Scrubbed him right out. Scrubbed him out.

Speaker 1 So. Yeah, well, that's not going to fly that doesn't make any sense no

Speaker 1 okay so there's a new op we already felt it coming now it's definitely on deck the op is

Speaker 1 uh

Speaker 1 you might have noticed there's not a lot of israel hate lately not as much as there used to be now it's islam muslims the muslims the muslims in texas baby

Speaker 1 so every yes the mud i don't did i have a clip on this

Speaker 1 I have a couple. Do you have anything? I'm looking because I remember, because this, you're right.
There's been two or three things.

Speaker 1 No, I thought, well, one of the TikTokers went off about this, but I don't have it. It's their, they're bitching about that Muslim compound up there by Fort Worth or wherever it is.

Speaker 1 Which doesn't even exist yet. Doesn't exist yet, but they've already renamed it to the meadows.
Yes. So that's just, and this, by the way, this is rampant in Fredericksburg.

Speaker 1 Everyone's texting everybody, the same thing where you see this. Sharia law in Texas.
Sharia law in Texas. You see this map zoom in.

Speaker 1 And it's like, they built 48 mosques in two years, which that I actually went and did some digging. Not true at all.

Speaker 1 And Texas is a big place. 48 mosques, you know, there's 300,000 churches in America.
It's not like we have to be all of a sudden be super afraid. But now this is the new meme.

Speaker 1 We know that Flynn brought a whole bunch of influencers to DC to talk about the danger of Islam.

Speaker 10 And this is kind of.

Speaker 1 Do you think that's what triggered this whole thing? No, I can tell you exactly what triggered it. And this is from this is a group that's working on this op.
It is a total op. It's all political.

Speaker 1 It's all about the midterms. I have no doubt about it.
This is...

Speaker 1 So the op is supposed to accomplish a more Democrat,

Speaker 1 a bigger blue wave? No, no, no. No, the op is supposed to accomplish

Speaker 1 the opposite. The op.
The red wave? Yeah,

Speaker 1 of course. Because it all starts.
But they're not going to do it through Muslim hate. Ah, but they're going to.
You have to understand this.

Speaker 1 The Rare Foundation, which is not a foundation as far as I can tell, Resistance Against Islamic Radicals, R-A-I-R, which is a fun little take on C-A-I-R,

Speaker 1 the Council of American Islamic Relations.

Speaker 1 It's professional. They don't really have as much juice as I thought they would.
I said juice, J-U-I-C-C-E.

Speaker 1 But this is the kind of stuff that they put out, and it all started with Mandami.

Speaker 39 On Rare TV, we are naming the threat plainly. Our enemies have placed a dangerous foreign infiltrator inside New York's government.

Speaker 1 And his name is Zoran Mamdani.

Speaker 39 And under federal law, he has been eligible to be stripped of his citizenship and deported. The question is, why is our government not acting? Mamdani became a U.S.
citizen in 2018.

Speaker 39 Under federal law, specifically 8 U.S.C.

Speaker 39 Section 1451A, citizenship can be revoked if it was obtained by concealment or misrepresentation, or if, within five years, the individual affiliates with communist, totalitarian, or terrorist movements.

Speaker 39 Mamdani did exactly that.

Speaker 39 He publicly defended the Holy Land Five, the men convicted on 108 counts of financing Hamas.

Speaker 1 No, I can't find any evidence of this, nor do they show any evidence or link to any evidence. They just say it.

Speaker 39 He is a card-carrying member of the DSA.

Speaker 1 I don't think the DSA has cards. I don't think they have cards, though.

Speaker 1 This is a Bank of America card.

Speaker 1 Or MasterCard. It's not a political party.

Speaker 1 It's a socialist, Marxist group who do auditions and train people who look good, theater kids, and and put them into positions of power. It has nothing to do with him being Muslim.

Speaker 1 It has everything to him being the right guy, like AOC. It's the same thing.
It's not, you can't carry the kind of. Yeah, also the tattoo guy up in Maine.
Yeah, that tattoo guy.

Speaker 39 The largest Marxist operation in America, openly aligned with foreign communist parties in Cuba, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America.

Speaker 1 Openly allied. What does it even mean?

Speaker 39 He expressed allegiance to the Communist Party of India in 2020, well inside the five-year window. And he glorified Hamas's U.S.
finance arm in a 2017 recording before he took the oath of citizenship.

Speaker 39 Okay.

Speaker 1 So this is now propagated by influencers everywhere because this is the thing you've got to jump on. And by the way, Candace Owens, you better jump to this because the Israel thing is over.

Speaker 1 Now, everyone is now moved over to Muslims. And what they're all pointing towards, of course, is, well, this is what happened in the UK.
This is what happened in Europe. Well, absolutely.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah, you can do the UK analogy. That's a good idea.
Absolutely. That might get you some votes.
But, but,

Speaker 1 and it's intended to do that. That's exactly what it's intended for.
Here's one of the influencers: American lumberjack.

Speaker 41 This, what you're seeing on your screen right now is not another country,

Speaker 41 it's America.

Speaker 1 And this.

Speaker 1 Don't even know if it's America, but okay, we'll take his word for it. A bunch of chanting Muslims.

Speaker 41 Gathering here of Muslims was in the city of Irving, Texas, where two Sharia law courts are operating and have already ruled on over 300 cases. Now,

Speaker 41 do you understand how serious this Islam problem is in America?

Speaker 41 Yes, two Islamic tribunals operate in the United States, functioning as voluntary arbitration panels, you know, applying Sharia law and Sharia principles in civil disputes like divorce and inheritance.

Speaker 41 This is how it starts. Just like the UK, slow at first.

Speaker 1 And then, boom, it's here. And then, boom, these airs comply with Texas arbitration laws.

Speaker 1 So, did you hear the meme in there? 48 mosques in two years. It's just not true.
By the way, the map you're showing, that's a pretty big area. That's a big area.

Speaker 1 So, yeah, there's mosques all over America. Big deal.

Speaker 1 They portray it as all these Muslims, they're they're in there, they're all doing Sharia law, they're going around American law, they don't care,

Speaker 1 they're going to take us over, they're going to, the enemy from within.

Speaker 41 According to the Constitution of the United States of America, there is no other law allowed in the land except for the Constitution. And if this wasn't bad enough,

Speaker 41 the NYPD is teaching people how to wear hijabs.

Speaker 1 Oh, hijabs. Oh, yes.
Oh, oh, oh, my gosh. Hijabs.

Speaker 5 Hijabs. Hijabs.
Hijabs.

Speaker 9 Let's vote for hijabs.

Speaker 1 Yeah, hijabs. Oh, we're going to be very afraid.
So this is working because Abbott, I think, is under fire. This is why they're talking about Texas.
Abbott is under fire.

Speaker 1 He's not universally loved in Texas for a whole bunch of reasons. Yeah, he jumped.
Well, he doesn't jump, but he comes into action when, you know, there's a flood or something else going on.

Speaker 1 So he immediately feels, there's something wrong. I got to do something about this.
I got to jump on this.

Speaker 13 All right, let's stay in Texas because Governor Greg Abbott made news this morning by declaring two groups as foreign terrorist organizations. Let's go to our breaking news corporate.

Speaker 13 Breakal, who's been following the story for us.

Speaker 5 Breaking news.

Speaker 6 In the newsroom in New York, Chanel, what did the governor have to say today?

Speaker 42 Well, he made this announcement, Lugo, this morning through this proclamation, essentially now designating two groups, the Muslim Brotherhood and the Council on American-Islamic Relations, as foreign terrorist groups.

Speaker 1 Okay, so a proclamation, whatever. It's just this statement.
But it's the Muslim Brotherhood that we're bringing back. Oh, the Muslim Brotherhood.
Yes, yes, yes.

Speaker 1 George, which is a creation of the MI6, I believe. Well, let's just

Speaker 1 actually, we could.

Speaker 1 Didn't I have that Galloway thing? Should probably play that here.

Speaker 1 Here we go. This is George Galloway.
We played it on the previous episode. Here he goes.

Speaker 36 Indeed, this has a long and inglorious history. The British invented it, as in so much else.

Speaker 36 We helped found and nourished, nurtured the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt in the early 1950s. so that we could use them against the Arab nationalist leader, Gamal Abdel Nasser, President Nasser.

Speaker 19 We

Speaker 36 invented the Muslim Brotherhood. It was invented in London.
And it was its first outing, though not its last, was

Speaker 36 to undermine the pan-Arabic message of the Nasserists.

Speaker 31 And, well,

Speaker 36 we've fallen out with the Muslim Brotherhood from time to time, but

Speaker 36 occasionally they can still be useful to each other, if you get my drift. All right.

Speaker 1 So I knew this was an op for sure when I saw not one, but two guests pop up on Bannon's war room talking about

Speaker 1 Muslim very well.

Speaker 1 I have to ask you this. What do you think?

Speaker 1 Do you think Bannon would be part of an op like this, or you think he's been so kicked out of the circle of ops that he's just a dupe? No, no, no. When you hear him talk, he's in on the op.

Speaker 1 The first guy is John Guandolo,

Speaker 1 former FBI special agent counterterrorism expert.

Speaker 1 In 2022, he organized training sessions for right-wing citizens about the perceived threat of communist and jihadist networks and to organize communities into operational forces to identify roots of corruption and dismantle the hostile networks behind it.

Speaker 1 And here it comes.

Speaker 1 And re-establish a Republican form of government at the local level, which were joined by former Trump National Security Advisor Michael Flynn.

Speaker 1 So this is a Flynn guy, and I think pretty sure Bannon's in on the OP.

Speaker 43 Talk to me about the state of Texas. I would assume, since Texas is one of the great Christian states in the Union, that we don't have a problem down there with

Speaker 43 Islamic jihad creeping in, sir.

Speaker 19 Yeah, I think you know better than that.

Speaker 1 So about 15 years. You know better than that because because you're red in on the op, sir.
You know you're red in. You know better than that.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 about 15 years. Actually, that's what he said.
Yeah, you know better than that. Why are you siring me? You know this is an op.

Speaker 43 Christian states in the Union that we don't have a problem down there with his Islamic jihad creeping in, sir.

Speaker 1 I wonder if he actually is his superior. He has rank over him.
For some reason, Bannon has to say, sir. I mean, you know, he's a naval guy, after all.
It's possible.

Speaker 19 Yeah, I think you know better than that.

Speaker 19 So So about 15 years ago, I'm going to back up and just quickly mention this. You know, we had in Tennessee the jihadi.

Speaker 1 Stop this clip.

Speaker 1 So first of all, he says you bet you know better than that as though they're already into the script way too far.

Speaker 1 And then right away he's going to back up. Oh, yeah.
Back up to what?

Speaker 1 What are you backing up for? Why don't you just answer the question? I mean, what are you backing up? I'm going to back up. It all will become relevant in a moment.
And just brother.

Speaker 1 Quickly mention this.

Speaker 19 You know, we had in Tennessee the jihadi, the Islamic movement in North America, and specifically the United States targeted Tennessee.

Speaker 19 And my professional assessment is they took Tennessee under a Republican governor, by the way, which is what we're seeing in Texas.

Speaker 1 Took Tennessee. It's a playbook.
Did he say they took Tennessee? He says they took Tennessee under a Republican governor. This is an attack on Abbott.

Speaker 1 The whole thing is multifaceted, but it is an attack on Abbott. Oh, Nashville.

Speaker 1 Very good again.

Speaker 1 Under a Republican governor, by the way.

Speaker 1 Yeah, they're going after Abbott because Abbott is

Speaker 1 not towing the line or who knows what.

Speaker 19 They targeted Tennessee and especially Nashville initially.

Speaker 1 Nashville.

Speaker 1 Is Nashville, has it become a hotbed of Muslim activity and jihadists? Is Sharia law in place in Nashville? No.

Speaker 1 That doesn't sound right. No.

Speaker 19 Because of the fact they viewed it as the buckle of the Bible belt, if you will.

Speaker 1 When they took it,

Speaker 19 you know, about seven and a half years ago, they sent one of their

Speaker 19 most significant Islamic jurists, a guy named Yasser Qadi, to Texas. And when he moved from Memphis at the Memphis Islamic Center to Texas, I alerted some of my colleagues,

Speaker 19 including guys like Frank Gaffney, who you know well and have had on the show,

Speaker 1 but others, friends of mine that do this work a little more under the radar. Under the radar.

Speaker 19 And we knew that that meant that the jihadi movement, the Islamic movement in the United States was targeting Texas.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 3 So

Speaker 1 other guys under the radar. When Frank Gaffney comes up, I'm like, hold on a second.
We've been doing this show for 18 years. Let me go back 15.

Speaker 1 Let me see if I can find a clip that is maybe similar to this.

Speaker 44 White House is moving toward developing ties with the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamist groups in the Middle East.

Speaker 1 This is when Obama was president, and the same

Speaker 1 memes, everything was used, same guys, same people. We're going to be taking over.
Sharia law.

Speaker 44 National Journal reports the president believes he has no choice but to cultivate the Brotherhood and other groups he believes are relatively moderate.

Speaker 44 One State Department official tells the magazine, quote, the war on terror is over. And now the Arab world may find a route to democracy through Islamism.

Speaker 44 But those moves may hurt the president politically.

Speaker 37 CBN News terrorism analyst Eric Stackelback joins us now for more on this story.

Speaker 46 Eric, you attended an event earlier today, understand, about the Muslim Brotherhood.

Speaker 37 What did you find out?

Speaker 45 Lee, very timely event with what Wendy just described. The Obama administration is obviously openly now embracing Islamist groups like the Muslim Brotherhood.

Speaker 45 Well, today at the National Press Club here in Washington, D.C., the Center for Security Policy had a really eye-opening event, Lee.

Speaker 45 They are releasing a 10-part online instructional course, online video instructional course for the average American all about the Muslim Brotherhood. It's called the Muslim Brotherhood in America.

Speaker 45 It breaks down this group, what they're all about, and why they're so dangerous. And we spoke to Frank Gaffney, Lee, the president of the Center for Security Policy.
Let's look at that now.

Speaker 1 So, the same thing. We're teaching people.
That's what Guandalo is doing: training, training for citizens. Be afraid of the scary Muslims.
Let's get it's so good with social media.

Speaker 1 Just have people showing maps and like, oh, zooming in, look at all these mosques. Oh, no, it's horrible.
And they bring back Frank Gaffney. Jihad,

Speaker 47 which is commanded by Sharia,

Speaker 47 takes more than one form. We are not winning

Speaker 47 a war that we honestly are not even recognizing we're in against jihadists that are using not just violence against us,

Speaker 47 but civilization jihad as well.

Speaker 45 And Lee, I think that was a real takeaway from this event today, what Frank Gaffney just said.

Speaker 45 There are many forms of jihad that our enemies are using, and not only violent jihad. For the Muslim Brotherhood, it is a stealthy type.
Frank Affney called it

Speaker 45 civilization jihad. Their philosophy is, hey, we don't have to blow you up now.
We can win through elections. We can get jobs in the media.
The government slowly, slowly infiltrate.

Speaker 45 And then the final stage is, yes, violent jihad.

Speaker 1 This is all about getting everybody riled up for the midterms.

Speaker 1 I'm already seeing people running for.

Speaker 1 Can I ask this? Yeah. Do they mention during these interviews back and forth and back and forth that the entire, the totality of the Muslim population in the United States amounts to 1.3%?

Speaker 1 1.3% of the population? No, of course not.

Speaker 1 Of which maybe 200,000 live in Texas. No, but it's.
I doubt that.

Speaker 1 I think it's 200,000. Maybe.
It could be a couple hundred thousand. The thing is, the epic thing, now renamed as Meadow, I mean,

Speaker 1 those AI videos of what it's going to look like have been going around for oh at least two years

Speaker 1 no

Speaker 1 and and and the the church ladies are beyond themselves oh half of the pastors who have there's these you know there's pastors these younger guys like 40 and they all have youtube podcasts and they hold on a second you said 40.

Speaker 1 well that's i know i know but that that in pastor land that's young and they have like the youtube award behind behind them. I've already seen enough.

Speaker 1 Dude, really?

Speaker 1 You got your YouTube award. So what is important to you? Your YouTube award.
All right. That's idolatry.

Speaker 1 It's definitely. It's pride.
It's idolatry. And they're more interested in clicks.
And so they're all in on it because, you know,

Speaker 1 this is what... I'm sure if you're talking from the pulpit about, well, we can't have the Muslims coming and preacher, preach.
No.

Speaker 1 This is dumb. And I had two more clips from Bannon.
Here's a continuation with Guandolo.

Speaker 19 And what we've seen is Yasser Khadi,

Speaker 19 who is arguably, if not the top, one of the top Islamic jurists in the United States, came to Texas, moved to Plano,

Speaker 19 became an

Speaker 1 existing center. You got a jump in.
Epic. Okay, hang on.
And is the floating center? Good interruption.

Speaker 1 Slow down. Slow down.
Slow down.

Speaker 1 Whoa, whoa, slow down. When you you say jurist, I want to make sure you understand.

Speaker 43 You're saying a guy that is like a Supreme Court jurist, a guy on Sharia law.

Speaker 1 Sharia. Correct.
Very good Sharia.

Speaker 3 You take it.

Speaker 43 And I'm going to get back to Tennessee in a moment. You say take it.
What they want, and this is what Frank Gaffney has preached for two decades. It's about Sharia supremacism.

Speaker 19 That is absolutely correct. And you just hit on a couple really important points.

Speaker 1 Brilliant.

Speaker 19 First of all, Sharia is real law.

Speaker 19 We have a lot of people who pose as, quote, moderate Muslims.

Speaker 19 You know, your Rahil Razas, your Qanta Ahmeds, who go on Fox News and CNN, and they say, you know, there's Islam and there's Islamism, there's Sharia and there's Sharia law.

Speaker 19 And they try to parse this out. When you get Sharia, you get the whole

Speaker 1 bag of worms.

Speaker 19 And it is really important for everyone to understand

Speaker 19 that Sharia states that the purpose of Islam.

Speaker 1 Hold on a second.

Speaker 1 My understanding is it's always a can of worms. I've never heard of a bag of worms.

Speaker 1 Correct.

Speaker 19 It is really important for everyone to understand

Speaker 19 that Sharia states that the purpose of Islam is to wage war against the non-Muslim community until Sharia is imposed on the earth, period.

Speaker 1 Sharia on the earth, period, everywhere. Oh, yeah.
You know, by the way, this explains. I don't have these clips.

Speaker 1 but now that you brought this up,

Speaker 1 if I had an eye out for this a little sooner, unfortunately, we don't discuss anything. No.
Well, fortunately,

Speaker 1 there has been at least three women TikTokers that have come on extolling the virtues. Oh,

Speaker 1 I'm a Muslim. And they go at the young dipshit types.
And they're going on and on about how they're now, you know, and it's disturbing. And I think it's part of the ops.
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 Well, it's the I Love Jesus trick. This is, since you brought it up, I wasn't going to play it, but I will play this once again from Rare TV.

Speaker 39 Beware, Christians, from London to Texas.

Speaker 1 Beware, Christians, from London to Texas, because that's a connection I make every day.

Speaker 39 A dangerous and well-funded campaign is spreading across the West, seeking to deceive believers into thinking that the Jesus of the Bible is the same as the Isa of Islam.

Speaker 39 They are pouring millions into glossy billboards, t-shirts, and high-tech Islamic recruitment videos, trying to convince Christians that Muslims love Jesus too.

Speaker 48 So, as you guys can see, I love Jesus because I'm Muslim.

Speaker 48 This is our first line of merch that we have released because our program is Dawah, which is inviting, educating non-Muslim Americans about Islam.

Speaker 48 One of the biggest misconceptions in our society, particularly in the West, is that people don't understand about our love for Jesus Christ, peace be upon him.

Speaker 1 I love Jesus because I'm a Muslim.

Speaker 15 Before I was a Muslim, I had no idea that Jesus, prayers and peace be upon him, I had no idea that he even had a place in Islam.

Speaker 1 Jesus is revered in Islam.

Speaker 15 When I was a Christian, I had a love and respect and admiration for Jesus. As a Muslim, that doesn't end.

Speaker 1 It only grew.

Speaker 39 But behind the slick marketing lies a darker truth. A global operation to blur the line between Christianity and Islam.

Speaker 39 To weaken believers, draw you from the cross, and expand the ummah in preparation for an Islamic world order.

Speaker 8 The rise of a caliphate.

Speaker 1 The rise. Oh, wait, wait.
The rise of the caliphate.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 you have basically, with that clip, threw in at least three TikTok clips

Speaker 1 in a sub, you know, kind of a subtext. So I object to that.
It was a good clip overall. Except for the fact that you're so anti- That was her clip.

Speaker 1 I didn't want to. Why no, but you play.
Yeah, okay.

Speaker 1 Only because you brought it up. I did bring it up, and it was, and I wish I had the clips.
My clips are a little different, but it's the same exact thing.

Speaker 1 It's part of, I think you, well, let's start with this. I'm only complaining about you complaining.

Speaker 1 But I will say that this op, which will lose us another group of listeners, as we normally do with everything. Who?

Speaker 1 I'm just saying right now,

Speaker 1 we're going to lose support because we can't, every time we reveal ops, which are obvious once you deconstruct them,

Speaker 1 the more you play, the more obvious it is. People get back.

Speaker 1 And by the way, in my opinion, this particular op, if we're going to just go with it 100%,

Speaker 1 is lame.

Speaker 1 I don't think

Speaker 1 if this is the best they can do, this has got to be some part of Bannon's group or something. This is lame well this is going to get no this is not going to drive the vote no

Speaker 1 this is pathetic but there's money to be made the minute flynn is in on this stuff because that's where we first heard about it he brought it all right don't forget bannon didn't bannon build some of the wall yeah

Speaker 1 by the way when we do ops we're not trying to win the approval of human beings

Speaker 1 we're trying to Tell you something. We're trying to give you truth here.

Speaker 1 And you can't handle the truth. So here's the last one.
This is another Bannon guy. He can handle the truth.

Speaker 1 The good producers can handle the truth. They like it.
Yeah, the good ones can. So

Speaker 1 this is another guy. If I hadn't seen two guys in one week, it would have been less convincing that Bannon's in on it.
This is Peter Meckelvenna.

Speaker 1 And Peter McElvenna, he

Speaker 1 is a co-founder of Hearts of Oak, a UK-based freedom of speech alliance. So there could be a North Sea Nexus element to this,

Speaker 1 considering the Muslim Brotherhood is a UK invention.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 there may be an angle to this we haven't quite seen yet, but here's him.

Speaker 34 Texas, by the end of the decade, will have more mosques than any other state in the U.S. At the moment, California, I think, has got around 400 mosques.
Texas around 350.

Speaker 34 But Texas added 50 mosques over the last 24 months.

Speaker 1 So So he's taken it from 48 to 50 now. So now it's 50.
Over this is the meme. 48 in two years.
He's taken it to 50.

Speaker 34 And not as rapidly increasing in Irving.

Speaker 1 It's rapidly increasing.

Speaker 1 No evidence, but it's rapidly increasing.

Speaker 34 And not as rapidly increasing in Irving where I walk.

Speaker 1 Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on. Slow down.
That's good. That's good.

Speaker 51 I've added how many mosques

Speaker 51 in the last 24 months?

Speaker 1 How many?

Speaker 34 48 mosques in the last 24 months, and that is rapidly increasing. Rapidly.
Rapidly increasing. Rapidly.

Speaker 1 And where I was.

Speaker 51 Hang on.

Speaker 51 They're opening multiple mosques

Speaker 1 in the state of Texas.

Speaker 35 Yes.

Speaker 48 Sounds surprised. Yes.

Speaker 34 And this is not an epic city issue, which is one area that everyone is focusing on. Thank God.

Speaker 1 No one built anything.

Speaker 34 And this is primarily in the Dallas-Houston area. And, of course, down in Austin, which is in the urban area.

Speaker 1 What did he say Dallas-Houston? I know.

Speaker 1 It's like there is no Dallas-Houston area.

Speaker 1 Those are the two. They're far away as you can get.
This is like this is in the Los Angeles-San Francisco area.

Speaker 1 Very good. I should have caught that one.
Very good. Very good.
This guy is

Speaker 1 mainly in the Dallas-Houston. Where do you go on vacation? The Dallas-Houston area.
Okay. My God.

Speaker 34 This is primarily in the Dallas-Houston area and of course down in Austin. This is in the urban areas.
I think there are

Speaker 34 a huge amount of I need to look at my figures, but there are around 200 mosques, 215 mosques, I think, that are now in the Dallas, Houston area and around 100 plus mosques in Austin.

Speaker 1 Okay. So we'll just round 100 mosques in Austin?

Speaker 1 I don't think that's true. But you know, a mosque can be, you know, it doesn't have to be a huge building.

Speaker 1 You know, there's just little dots on the map. Anyway, we'll wrap it up with this.

Speaker 42 Let's give you a bit of background as well, Mugo, about these organizations that we're talking about, including the Muslim Brotherhood. It may sound familiar to you.

Speaker 42 This is a group that was founded in Egypt. It really rose to power, rose to influence after the Arab Spring.
But important to note that it also became something that Americans grew to see as a threat.

Speaker 42 In Egypt, the ideology within the Muslim Brotherhood also spread to some other groups that you'll now know, Hamas and Hezbollah as well.

Speaker 42 But important to mention here that there has really been no material tie from the Muslim Brotherhood to CARE.

Speaker 42 Also, CARE, which is an American-based group, has never actually been charged with crimes like aiding and abetting a terrorist organization.

Speaker 42 And finally, want to mention as well, Mugo, that when it comes to labeling groups with this label of a terrorist group or organization it's really up to the U.S.

Speaker 42 State Department to do that what the governor did today was a state proclamation and so I want to show you which what we found on my screen here this is a social media post from Greg Abbott after he had made that proclamation and what he's saying is that this will have an impact in the state of Texas and the impact he says it will have is that it will allow some heightened enforcement against these two groups as well he says you'll see here, this bans them from buying or acquiring land in Texas and also authorizes the Attorney General to sue to shut them down.

Speaker 1 So they're going after Abbott for whatever reason.

Speaker 1 Well, this is important. We have to figure out why they're going after Abbott.
People don't like Abbott. Abbott is not popular in Texas.
He's just not. Yeah, but that's got nothing to do with Bannon.

Speaker 1 He's not, is he in Texas? No, no.

Speaker 1 But they got to start somewhere. And it's just so, when you say Texas is being taken, oh, the most Christian state in the nation, I think one of them said.

Speaker 1 Bannon said that. When you say that, then everyone else gets freaked out.
And this whole,

Speaker 1 I know we have producers. Well, I think the parallel that you made, which were pointed out when the guy says, oh, they took over Nashville,

Speaker 1 a state run by a Republican.

Speaker 1 We have producers in Dearborn, Michigan. I would like to know: is it as bad as the TikTok and Instagram videos portend?

Speaker 1 Because all you hear, oh, Dearborn, Dearborn has been taken over by the Muslims. They run it all.
Yeah, and they also play the call to prayer. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Now, it is absolutely true that if you look at, I know the Netherlands for sure, and the UK,

Speaker 1 that Muslims have taken office

Speaker 1 in

Speaker 1 city councils, mayors, absolutely. Look at the city of London.
I mean, London. I shouldn't say the city of London, Sadiq Khan.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 yeah, well, then get off your blessed assurance and go run for office. Run for office.
Don't take a genius. What's that? Doesn't take a genius to vote somebody out.
No, and run yourself.

Speaker 1 I mean, but this is an op. And I agree with you.
I think it's weak, but

Speaker 1 right now

Speaker 3 it's really dominating the airwaves here in Fredericksburg.

Speaker 1 Everybody's talking about it. Well,

Speaker 1 again, it's another one of these. Maybe it's experimental to see where it could go.
So they could, so a real op, a dynamite one, could come out closer to the midterms because these things blow over.

Speaker 3 Yeah, this is no good.

Speaker 1 It's possible that's what all we're looking at, and it's no big deal one way or the other. It could be.
It could be.

Speaker 1 Yeah. And there's going to be some other experiments.

Speaker 1 They've got to do something because Trump's scheme about the epstein files fell apart yeah and that's not gonna have that's not gonna have any effect whatsoever and the and the uh

Speaker 1 democrats are gonna kick ass i've said this before i'll say it again they're going to kick ass in the midterms and they're going to impeach trump again and the next the last two years of his administration are going to be uh sidelined and if you're going to be and then the economy falls apart

Speaker 1 well the economy is going to fall apart one way or the other sometimes

Speaker 1 sometime in the near future. It just doesn't eventually, sure.
Every 20 years it doesn't. So it's due to fall apart between 2027 and 2028.
By the way,

Speaker 1 2029, probably. The redistricting

Speaker 1 has been halted here in Texas.

Speaker 1 Remember that's... Yeah, by the some legal thing.
Well, by what. Well, the same thing is going to happen in California.
The redistricting in California is not going to happen.

Speaker 1 I said this from the get-go.

Speaker 1 Constitutional lawyer Rob sent me a whole blurb about it. It was

Speaker 1 one of the three judges who was

Speaker 1 even in the,

Speaker 1 what do you call it, the

Speaker 1 opinion that

Speaker 1 one of the other two judges wrote said, you know, you're like a Soro stooge, you know, like just going off on each other about how this one judge has halted this.

Speaker 1 So right now there's no redistricting happening.

Speaker 1 My understanding about the differences in Texas and California is that Texas was told to redistrict. Well, that's the meme, yeah.

Speaker 1 Told by Texas. Well, I know if it's told by Trump or not, but told by Trump.

Speaker 1 That's just a newsom thing. Yeah.

Speaker 1 By the way, thank you for listening, podcast enthusiasts.

Speaker 1 We have clearly a lot of Gen Z listeners. We welcome you all.

Speaker 1 And thank you for setting us straight on the Straw Hat Pirate Flag. Holy moly, how many emails did you receive about this?

Speaker 1 Well, all the emails I received, I hate to say this, but about a month ago, I described this flag and where it came from

Speaker 1 early on, and it's long since typical of this show, been forgotten by the listeners, and they're trying to educate us. I got a few.
I must have gotten 50.

Speaker 1 Well, I did not get 50. And that this is from an anime?

Speaker 1 Yeah, this is what I said. Yeah, I don't remember.
A month ago. I'm sure you did.
I didn't remember it.

Speaker 1 No, nobody did. From One Piece.
One Piece.

Speaker 1 By the way, Sir Patrick Coble has

Speaker 1 notified me he will be setting up the No Agenda Discord so that we can get some intelligence people in.

Speaker 1 Oh, Coble. Yep.
That's the guy to do it. That way you can have a back door to the CIA.
Danielle Nevada.

Speaker 1 Writes in, says, as a younger millennial male, I want to provide my perspective on the meanness issue.

Speaker 1 When I first heard the reports of you being mean to John, I thought it was a gag.

Speaker 1 For years, it's been clear to me that John is the bully in the partnership, and you are masterful at disarming and dealing with it. Thank you.
Exactly.

Speaker 1 So Tina wrote that?

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 1 Leanne came in.

Speaker 1 She's from, actually, I think she lives in California.

Speaker 1 Leanne Webb,

Speaker 1 wife to the OG Godcaster. Hi, Adam.
John says he wants to hear from the ladies. I'm weighing in.

Speaker 1 There have been brief moments throughout the whole 18 years of listening to you guys that both of you have been snippy with each other.

Speaker 1 But it is my humble opinion that John does a lot to push you and to try and make you be snippy. Aha!

Speaker 1 There it is.

Speaker 1 He sometimes just shows up with a genuinely grumpy attitude. There are occasions where you, Adam, show up with a grumpy attitude also, but I must say, it's more rare than it used to be.

Speaker 1 There you go. Well, that's because he's found Christ.
That's exactly what she says. This is exactly right.

Speaker 1 So I'd say the jury is still out on who's really the snippy bully. Well, we both know it's you.
So

Speaker 1 I have a here. I have to read this.
This is a douchebag comment because the guy hasn't donated. I told him to donate.
Oh, do you have a douchebag voice to do this in? No, this is interesting.

Speaker 1 I'm a mammologist.

Speaker 1 A what?

Speaker 1 We're talking about the

Speaker 1 alpha gal.

Speaker 1 Oh, yes. The alpha gal, the lone star tick makes you allergic to meat, apparently.

Speaker 1 By the way, I find the name of this thing Alpha Gal, because they're always talking about alpha males, and they name this thing Alpha Gal. What is that all about?

Speaker 1 I'm a mammologist, he writes, and just wanted to mention that on the Sunday show, this is a meaculpa,

Speaker 1 you refer to marsupials and some other species as not mammals. Oh, no.
All marsupials are stupid, are mammals, you idiot.

Speaker 1 And the other species are definitely mammals, they have hair and mammary glands. That's the kicker.
That's the

Speaker 1 kangaroo. Yes.
That's why they're called mammals. Hello.

Speaker 1 For milk production, just an FYI.

Speaker 1 This is interesting now. Now it gets good.

Speaker 1 I have had Alpha Gal from a lone star tick, three

Speaker 1 lone star tick bite. I'm sorry.
I was working on bats in North Carolina and had a tick attached for about 24 hours. About three months later, I broke out into full-body hives.

Speaker 1 And after eating a hamburger, it happened a few more times after eating beef. And I went

Speaker 1 for the test.

Speaker 1 In other words, he got sick from eating the hamburger.

Speaker 1 It came back positive. I was lucky.
I could eat pork and venison, both mammals, with no ill effect, only beef.

Speaker 1 Did he give you his vaccination history?

Speaker 1 Which may include AlphaGal?

Speaker 1 He says, I waited two years before introducing beef little by little back into my diet, and I'm happy to report I'm back on the beef baby. So luckily, it can go away for some people over time.

Speaker 1 Oh, well, good. Now donate.

Speaker 1 I told him to donate in the retort I sent him, and

Speaker 1 he sent a note back saying he's been guilted into donating. He is going to donate.
Good work. Probably five bucks.
It's okay. Hey, value is value.
That's what I say.

Speaker 1 We do have some new terms, which I'm very happy to hear since we have been

Speaker 1 being educated by our new Gen Zs. I think we just have to keep calling them Gen Zs.
I think that's better. The Zeds.
The Zeds are here. The Zeds are like the same.
I like the Zeds.

Speaker 1 And the Zeds like it because, you know, they're not getting duped by AI crap because we happen to know the background of stuff like this. And we know historical background.

Speaker 1 And, you know, 15 years ago, when we first played that clip about the Muslim Brotherhood, there were two. So welcome, Zeds.
We love it to have you here.

Speaker 1 But there are some new dating terms that we should know about since we are woefully uneducated about today's dating.

Speaker 14 Back now in the morning, Buzz. Remember situationships? Well, there's a whole new batch of dating terms emerging in the digital age.

Speaker 31 I can totally relate to all these. Maybe you're single looking for love or a parent who wants to understand what your teenager is going through.
So here's a quick overview of the current lingo.

Speaker 14 Okay, so throning is when you date someone more popular or powerful to boost your social status. And then there's shreking.

Speaker 14 Like the movie ogre, it means you put looks lower on your list, hoping that someone shows you their inner beauty, but your strategy ends up backfiring, which is why they call it shreking.

Speaker 1 That's a shame.

Speaker 31 Another term is banksying, like the elusive street artist. You slowly withdraw emotionally from your partner without telling them.

Speaker 31 And then there's monkey barring, making sure you have secured a new love before

Speaker 31 officially letting go of your ex. Sort of like if you quit your job, you need a new one.
It works the same with relationships.

Speaker 14 All of these terms equate to toxic dating. Just making that very clear here.

Speaker 14 One dating coach shared a theory that people are struggling to make sense of their experiences, so they're inventing new words to process them.

Speaker 1 Oh, okay. I don't buy it.

Speaker 1 I've heard of throning.

Speaker 1 These are like either local terms or

Speaker 1 nobody says this crap. Oh, I've heard throning.
I've heard throning.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I've heard throning.

Speaker 1 I have a little bit on Venezuela, if you want to hear it, because I think I've kind of figured out what's really going on right now with the Southern Spear, Operation Southern Spear.

Speaker 1 Are you interested? You think you've figured out what's going on? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Beyond the stopping the drugs into Europe? Oh, it's definitely part of the North Sea Nexus, but it's not just about the drugs. Here's a quick update on the U.S.
ramping up pressure.

Speaker 30 New

Speaker 30 It comes as the New York Times reports President Trump signed off on additional covert CIA operations inside Venezuela that could lay the groundwork for a bigger military campaign, citing multiple people briefed on the matter.

Speaker 30 The president saying this week he is not ruling out putting U.S. troops on the ground in Venezuela.

Speaker 10 I don't rule out anything. We just have to take care of Venezuela.

Speaker 30 The Times also reporting Trump authorized a new round of back-channel negotiations with Venezuela's president Nicolas Maduro, who reportedly offered to step down after a few years, but the White House rejected that plan.

Speaker 53 David, as far as the end game here, many experts say, sure, it can be about stopping drugs in in this part of the world, but it's also very likely about more than that.

Speaker 53 It's very likely about forcing President Maduro from power one way or another.

Speaker 1 Well, not exactly. And I came across, because we watch all types of media, a report on RT

Speaker 1 of all places.

Speaker 1 Which included in this intro clip a little statement from the Venezuelan foreign minister at the recent United Nations gathering.

Speaker 1 While everybody was talking about the escalator on the teleprompter, other things were being discussed.

Speaker 40 It seems that the situation surrounding the disputed South American territory of Esequibo is reaching its boiling point, and that's all thanks to the United States and, as some would say, Washington's never-ending pursuit for other nations, oil, and gas.

Speaker 54 The government of the United States of America, considering itself to be the sovereign of our continent, and with the excuse of the illegal Monroe Doctrine, has once again intervened in a territorial dispute that is more than 200 years old over our territory of Essequibo, Guyana.

Speaker 54 Today, the government of the United States of America wants to appropriate our oil resources using the company ExxonMobil.

Speaker 1 Okay, so if it's not about drugs or turf, or it's always about resources, this is oil, of course. Yes, well, this is the disputed

Speaker 1 land

Speaker 1 between Guyana and

Speaker 1 Venezuela.

Speaker 1 And here's a little backgrounder on. Was that guy from Guyana or Venezuela? No, he's from Venezuela.

Speaker 1 Now we're going back to RT. The lady will give us a little historical lesson about this disputed land and who really owns it.

Speaker 40 What does Washington have to do with the territorial dispute between Guyana and Venezuela? Well, let's take it back a little bit. This is a border dispute between Guyana and Venezuela.

Speaker 40 Each side claims that this stretch of land belongs to them and it's quite a significant portion, just about 160,000 square kilometers. It's almost a third of Guyana.

Speaker 40 It's also very rich in oil and gas. Venezuela has claimed the territory since it declared independence from Spain in 1811.
Guyana, which used to be a British colony, insists that it belongs to them.

Speaker 40 after Britain gained control through a treaty with the Netherlands back in 1814.

Speaker 40 But the argument here is that the treaty wasn't specific when it comes to the borders.

Speaker 40 Fast forward a few decades and Venezuela asked the United States for help under the Monroe Doctrine, which opposed European colonialism in the Western Hemisphere.

Speaker 40 Some even thought that this could lead to another war between Britain and the US.

Speaker 40 Now a tribunal in 1899 decided that the majority of the land belonged to the British colony, which of course was a huge disappointment for both Caracas and Washington.

Speaker 40 But when Guyana became independent in 1966, the border issue resurfaced. That's when it was decided, according to a Geneva agreement, that the territorial dispute would be reconsidered.

Speaker 40 Meanwhile, relations between Venezuela and Washington have deteriorated.

Speaker 40 So, it's hardly surprising that Washington no longer seems to care about Venezuela's case, especially since Guyana gave drilling license to the U.S. oil major ExxonMobil.

Speaker 1 And there it is, where British Petroleum has licenses in Venezuela, ExxonMobil, our guys, have licenses in Guyana. And about 10 months ago, this happened.

Speaker 1 Oops. That was a beautiful cue, but I screwed it up.

Speaker 52 Venezuelans voted to claim sovereignty over the oil-rich Esquivo region and neighboring Guyana, escalating a long-standing territorial dispute between the countries centered on energy resources and sparking international concerns about annexation.

Speaker 52 Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro touted the election results as a total success for the country.

Speaker 52 Venezuela's National Electoral Council claimed 10.5 million voters turned out and passed the five-question ballot with 95% approval.

Speaker 52 Voters were asked if they supported the establishment of a new state in the Esquivo area and whether or not current and future residents there should be granted citizenship.

Speaker 52 Both Venezuela and Guyana view the area as sovereign, and Guyana has argued any action from Venezuela to claim it would amount an annexation.

Speaker 52 Venezuela's interest in the Esquivo region was revived in 2015 when ExxonMobil discovered a massive offshore oil reserve in its waters.

Speaker 52 In the eight years since, some 46 offshore discoveries have been made, accounting for more than 11 billion barrels of recoverable oil resources.

Speaker 1 So we got the Guyana region, Esquibo, however you pronounce it, ExxonMobil. British Petroleum is in Venezuela.
And then all of a sudden, Maduro says, yeah, we're going to take that piece there.

Speaker 1 And Trump's like, no, that's our oil. We've got the deal.
Remember, Remember, it's called Southern Spear.

Speaker 40 And now the U.S.

Speaker 1 is apparently looking to set up a military base there.

Speaker 1 This is the Guiana guy.

Speaker 54 We denounce that the government of the United States of America intends to militarize

Speaker 54 this situation. The U.S.

Speaker 54 Southern Command wants to create a military base in the disputed territory in order to create a spearhead in its aggression against Venezuela and consolidate the plundering of our energy resources.

Speaker 1 So that's what it's about. That's why we're going to build a base there.
No, you're not going to take the oil. We've got the deal.
You're not going to take this country all of a sudden, this Esquibo.

Speaker 1 That's what the military operation is about.

Speaker 1 Yeah, the oil field is the

Speaker 1 Starbrook block.

Speaker 1 It's a big

Speaker 1 one. And we did the discovery.

Speaker 1 Yeah, we did. And it's on mobile.
It did it. Yeah.
And BP,

Speaker 1 this is classic. It used to be a Dutch Anglo thing.

Speaker 1 This is so classic. No, you're not going to have that.
We'll sell it to you.

Speaker 1 But you can't just. Yeah, so we can make their lives miserable by blowing up these ships.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Well,

Speaker 1 there's

Speaker 1 cocaine, can't get into Europe. What are you going to do?

Speaker 1 Cocaine. Teach your lesson.

Speaker 1 Merca, baby. Merca.

Speaker 1 I was just blown away. Like, I have to get this from RT? Where's our media?

Speaker 1 Khashoggi. I have to get this from RT.
Epstein. Epstein.

Speaker 3 I had to get it from RT.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Well, there's actually a cocaine story if you're done with that.
Yeah, I am.

Speaker 1 Which also didn't show up very much. I mean, you could find it here and there online.

Speaker 1 About this guy, Ryan Wedding. Who is this? Yeah, see, I never heard this.
This is a major story.

Speaker 9 The Justice Department has announced new charges against former Olympian Ryan James Wedding, who is accused of running a massive transnational drug network.

Speaker 9 The former snowboarder is now one of the FBI's top 10 most wanted fugitives. Entity's Christina Corona tells us more.

Speaker 24 The Department of Justice announced Wednesday that new charges have been unsealed against Ryan Wedding, a former Canadian snowboarder and Olympic athlete, now accused of running a massive drug trafficking empire.

Speaker 24 Authorities are offering a $15 million reward for his capture.

Speaker 33 He controls one of the most prolific and violent drug trafficking organizations in this world.

Speaker 1 He is currently the largest distributor of cocaine in Canada.

Speaker 24 Authorities say Weddings Group imports roughly 60 metric tons of cocaine a year into Los Angeles using semi-trucks from Mexico, moving over a billion dollars worth of narcotics across the Americas.

Speaker 24 So far, 35 people have been indicted and authorities have seized over 4,000 pounds of drugs, weapons, 3.2 million cryptocurrency, and $13 million in assets.

Speaker 24 FBI Director Cash Patel compared Wedding to some of the world's most notorious drug lords.

Speaker 1 Ryan Wedding is a modern-day iteration of Pablo Escobar. He's a modern-day iteration of El Chapo Guzman.

Speaker 1 He is responsible for engineering a narco-trafficking and narco-terrorism program that we have not seen in a long time. Puts a whole new take on snowboarding.
I know.

Speaker 1 And, you know, if you're the assignment editor on a newspaper or these networks, this would be a top story because it's so interesting and the snowboard pun is absolutely part of it.

Speaker 1 Where did you get these clips from? NTD?

Speaker 1 Of course. Sound a bit like Dana from

Speaker 1 that lawyer who used to be on Fox. What's her name? I guess it's not Marino? No, no, no, no.
I think, you know,

Speaker 1 with the dark hair.

Speaker 1 I don't know, Dana, the other Dana. Well, anyway, play part two of this and we'll

Speaker 1 wrap it up. We'll wrap it up.

Speaker 24 Wedding and 14 defendants, including a Canadian lawyer, are charged with orchestrating the January 2025 murder of a witness who was shot at a restaurant in Colombia.

Speaker 24 Wedding now faces additional counts, including witness tampering and intimidation, murder, money laundering, and drug trafficking.

Speaker 49 Ryan Wedding is extremely dangerous. He's extremely violent and he's extremely wealthy.

Speaker 1 He's being protected by the Sinaloa cartel along with others in the country of Mexico.

Speaker 49 We will find him and we will bring him to justice.

Speaker 24 Law enforcement across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico continue efforts to locate Wedding, who remains among the FBI's top 10 most wanted fugitives. Christina Corona and TD News.

Speaker 1 Wow, that is a good story. Why wouldn't they report on that, other than that it's British? What takes away from Canada?

Speaker 1 Oh, I'm sorry, Epstein. Yes.
Come on. With that, I want to thank you for your courage.
Say hello to you, the man who put the sea in the cocaine empire.

Speaker 1 Say hello to my friend on the other end, the one, the only, Mr. John C.
DeMori.

Speaker 1 Yeah, in the morning, the you, Miss Anne McCrane Warren, ships the sea boost of the grand feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the names and nights out there.

Speaker 1 In the morning to the trolls in the troll room, let me count different

Speaker 1 I don't have a peek.

Speaker 3 Something's broken.

Speaker 1 We have about 1,300 now, but it was more, a lot more earlier.

Speaker 1 They all missed a Ryan wedding story.

Speaker 1 They did.

Speaker 1 And they're going to miss a great donation story as we are going to thank our supporters here at the best podcast in the universe who support us

Speaker 1 with time, talent, and treasure.

Speaker 1 Big news out of Japan. Did you see the email this morning?

Speaker 1 Yes, I did. We got a, and I put it in the show notes.
There was a half-hour profile done

Speaker 1 on NHK's Japano files,

Speaker 1 Japanophiles,

Speaker 1 of two of our top producers. In fact, they are the Grand Duchess and Duke of Japan and all the disputed islands in the Japan Sea, Dame Astrid, and Sir Mark.

Speaker 1 Did you watch the video? No, I haven't had time for it. I just got it this morning.
I'll just play the intro. It's really cool.

Speaker 55 A distinctive facade inspired by traditional Japanese open-work carving. It's a landmark located on one of Tokyo's most iconic shopping streets.

Speaker 55 This is a bookstore lounge that masterfully fuses international design sensibilities with the essence of traditional Japanese culture.

Speaker 55 These designs are the work of Astrid Klein from Italy and Mark Dithem from the United Kingdom.

Speaker 1 They met at the Royal College of Art in London and came to Japan in 1988.

Speaker 55 Since then, they've designed not only buildings but also interiors and furniture, creating spaces that foster communication and creativity for those who spend time there.

Speaker 55 In this episode, Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham share insights from their decades of work in Japan.

Speaker 1 It's a little better with the video. If you can see the buildings.
Man, they have done some of the most iconic buildings in the oops. No, they're dynamite.
In Japan. They are.
They are dynamite.

Speaker 1 So, those of you who support us, you are amongst good company.

Speaker 1 Go take a look at that episode and be like, wow, wow. You want to go visit Tokyo right away and go hang out with them.
And they welcome all No Agenda producers to their homes.

Speaker 1 I'm reliably informed. This is a fact.

Speaker 1 I want to get this out of the way. It's a note that came in

Speaker 1 about the donations. Okay.
I'm writing. This is from Leora Coronel.
and she says, I'm writing that she got the

Speaker 1 executive producer credit for the last show, but she mentions this problem that happened. I have an explanation.
I'm writing to request a correction of the mistake John made.

Speaker 1 Hard to believe, but true.

Speaker 1 During the donation portion of the show, the fantastic vintage Biological Warfare Department letterhead that was gifted to John at the meetup this past Saturday, along with a $300 donation, was credited to someone named John Lake in Santa Cruz.

Speaker 1 Stolen Valor!

Speaker 1 However, it was actually from my smoking hot husband, Gus Cornell, from Nevada City, California. I don't really have any clue how I got that mixed up.

Speaker 1 Although it was sitting at the table inside before we moved outside, and there was the handover of the beef and the letterhead, and then it was in an envelope, and people stuffed other stuff in the envelope.

Speaker 1 Is this the envelope for the donations? They shoved it in there, and it got it mixed up that way. Now, wait a minute.
So I can go back and

Speaker 1 the credits. Oh, it was a $100 donation.
So it wasn't actually on the credit list. No, no, it was a $300 donation.
She corrected that. Oh.

Speaker 1 And you know what? There's nothing to change. She got her credit.
Oh, she's on the list. It was a switcheroo, right?

Speaker 1 No, she got it. She got the switcheroo.
She did. Yep, she did.
Gus has had his letterhead since I met him over 25 years ago, and he's been saving it for a special occasion ever since.

Speaker 1 So we have to definitely give Gus credit for saving it for the No Agenda show.

Speaker 1 Last week, he finally decided that this special occasion would be meeting John in person,

Speaker 1 which he did. After the meetup, he was so excited that he got to give this awesome gift to John, and this is a killer.

Speaker 1 I'm sure you can understand our disappointment when someone else was given the credit. I feel bad about it.
It's horrible. Yeah, I'd like to make sure that Gus gets the credit he deserves.

Speaker 1 Yes, I remember with Gus at the whole thing. I have no idea how this got mixed up in the...

Speaker 1 There was a pile of stuff. It's a pile of stuff.
Stuff happens. Stuff happens.
Stuff happens. But Gus got the credit now.
Thank you for your courage. And

Speaker 1 thank you for

Speaker 1 your attention to this matter. Your loyal listener and future dame, Leora.
So that, yes, that letterhead, which is just a dynamite piece of memorabilia,

Speaker 1 is in the permanent collection.

Speaker 1 Got an emergency note from one of our knights, Sir Scott the Jew from North Idaho, speaking of our wonderful producer, Poole. we have award-winning world-renowned architects and many more.

Speaker 1 He says a close friend of mine is in an emergency situation with his hand. He is a master mechanic, so he, of course, relies on his hands.

Speaker 1 He has been struggling for months with massive swelling and debilitating pain. And despite seeing multiple doctors, no one has been able to diagnose the problem.

Speaker 1 Are there any hand surgeons or specialists in Gitmo Nation who could help? He can travel if needed. Email s at sja.com.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Speaker 1 You know what? It wouldn't surprise me if we have a hand specialist out there. I wouldn't be surprised in the least.

Speaker 1 I hope there is so this guy can get back on track. Yes, indeed.
All right. He needs that aggravation.
Thank you.

Speaker 1 Really? Thank you to

Speaker 1 all of our trolls in the troll room who are listening, noagendastream.com and, of course, using the modern podcast apps,

Speaker 1 podcastapps.com. Value for value.
it comes in many different forms.

Speaker 1 We talk a lot about it. We talked a lot about it on this show.
Some of it is AI.

Speaker 1 And boy, did we get an AI piece of artwork for episode 1817, which we titled Stunt Grenade. Not Stun, but Stunt Grenade.

Speaker 1 And of course, that came through NoAgendaArtGenerator.com, which anybody can use.

Speaker 1 And by the way, I've seen the designs for our Rubilizer challenge coin. It looks really nice.
That comes from Paul Couture, right?

Speaker 1 Yes. And

Speaker 1 I'll probably put him in the next newsletter. You can take a look at him.
Yeah, that will be obviously a very limited supply for rubberizers. Yeah, we won't have to make too many.

Speaker 3 That's for sure.

Speaker 1 No, we won't.

Speaker 1 So thank you, Blue Acorn, for doing a great piece of art. There's a bunch of robots sitting in the class looking at the blackboard, AI class.

Speaker 1 And one, it says on the blackboard, listen, two, agree, three, kill self.

Speaker 1 And I guess we found that humorous. It's not as funny as it.
For some reason, it doesn't feel as funny today looking at it.

Speaker 1 But man, it's so hard when people are just tapping away. There's so much art, and none of it's good.

Speaker 1 Almost none of it. In hindsight,

Speaker 1 did some of those pirate flags come in? Do they came in later?

Speaker 1 I think they came in. No, they came in.
There was a bunch of pirate flags.

Speaker 1 I wonder why we didn't use one of those.

Speaker 1 It might have been better. Well, I used the Straw Hat Skull flag, which was not

Speaker 1 anything like the one that's going around

Speaker 1 for the newsletter but the reason was i think is because these weren't the this was this was the actual sombrero

Speaker 1 uh pirate flag one it's not a sombrero it's a straw hat yeah yeah yeah well there is one also from blue acorn

Speaker 1 which i don't recall seeing but you know people just think that you know you still got to have talent to come up with something funny And you got to reprompt and prompt again and prompt some more.

Speaker 1 And why?

Speaker 1 it's interesting is this coach Joe has been submitting these crazy cartoons. I don't know what system he's using to get these things.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 But they're all they're interesting. They're not usable because everything's too small.
You can't read anything.

Speaker 1 But it's

Speaker 1 he's definitely using a model that is not used by others.

Speaker 1 Nobody else is using whatever he's using. That's all I can say.
Well,

Speaker 1 prompt well, prompt better, be a good prompter, or create something by hand. There's still people that do that from time to time, and they do win.

Speaker 1 Quite often, I would say, because there's really nothing above, you know, some real human skills. Because

Speaker 1 this is the literal definition of slop.

Speaker 1 Most of it. Noagendaartgenerator.com.
Go. What did these two guys say? Somebody took our pictures and swapped out the faces to some other people?

Speaker 1 Again,

Speaker 1 we're not going to use it. We're not going to use it, but who's that person that's playing you? And who's the guy's

Speaker 1 goofball that's my face. I think you're Schumer.
You look like Schumer.

Speaker 1 You look a little like Schumer. Yeah, who do I look like? Like some bad soap opera, a soap opera actor.
You look like some. I don't know what you, who that's supposed to be.

Speaker 1 I think it's supposed to be someone.

Speaker 1 I don't know who it is.

Speaker 1 I don't know who that is.

Speaker 1 No, no idea. Anyway, No Agenda Art Generator.
I was going to get picked no matter what. No, noagendaartgenerator.com.

Speaker 1 And believe me, there's still plenty of chances for you to win just looking at what's come in so far.

Speaker 1 Now we want to thank our, we thank everybody, $50 and above. We want to thank our executive and associate executive producers.

Speaker 1 You receive this credit when you are in the opportunity to donate $200 or more.

Speaker 1 We will not only give you the title of associate executive producer, which is a real Hollywood credit, can be used anywhere where Hollywood credits are recognized, including imdb.com, which is kind of cool.

Speaker 1 You know, if you're

Speaker 1 out there

Speaker 1 throning or shreking, you can say, hey, you know, I'm a producer, associate executive producer. Oh, really? Oh, really? Prove it.
Oh, go to IMDb. Look me up.
Look me up on imdb.com. Oh, wow.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's true.

Speaker 1 $300 or more will get you an executive producership. And the same applies.
We will read your note. And we start off today with a switcheroo from Baroness Ladybird in Provençal, Louisiana.

Speaker 1 And she says, please deduce.

Speaker 28 You've been deduced.

Speaker 1 And give the executive producer credit to Sean Wester, Colonel, United States Marine Corps, retired.

Speaker 1 Happy birthday, my love. Semper Fi, Baroness Ladybird, Eagle of Toledo Bend.
That's beautiful. Semper Fi, always faithful.
That's right. Beautiful.
Switcheroo has

Speaker 1 implemented. Thank you.
Josh Sheepdog Buford in Midlothian, Virginia, 333.33. In the morning, Adam.
Hey.

Speaker 1 Listening from Virginia since 2020 as a Men's Alliance member. Hmm.
Are you a part of this? Let me see. I'm not a member.
I'm not familiar with the Men's Alliance.

Speaker 1 I'm traveling right now on a bus to Lake Bridgeport in Texas, where

Speaker 1 112 men are finishing training to share the gospel, to answer life's hard questions, the truth, and to earn their Men's Alliance patch. Oh, I need one.

Speaker 1 Well, just

Speaker 1 yeah.

Speaker 1 I left a restaurant

Speaker 1 a couple of years ago to help train and equip barbarian ambassadors for Christ. Christ.
Barbarian ambassadors for Christ.

Speaker 1 Nearly 400 Men's Alliance tribes across the country meet weekly. for an outdoor workout and devotion around a fire while disciplining each other.
Discipling.

Speaker 1 Discipling. Discipling.
It sounds like disciplining each other.

Speaker 1 And building our base of brothers. More are starting every week.
I get fired up every time I hear you give an answer for the hope that you have.

Speaker 1 Thank you for using your voice for his kingdom. Capital K.
Maybe I can talk you into visiting Lost Pines tribe in Bastrup, which I don't think is anywhere near you. One Saturday morning.

Speaker 1 All men can find a tribe near you or start a tribe by visiting

Speaker 1 men'salliance tribe.com, men'salliance tribe.com, 1 Peter 315, Josh Sheepdog Buford.

Speaker 1 Well, something for us you to do. Next time I go visit more work.
No, well, next time I go visit my buddy in the slammer, which is in Bastrop, then I might drop by. It's always on a Saturday.

Speaker 1 So I just might. Bastrup has a prison? Yes, a federal penitentiary.
Yes.

Speaker 1 Thank you for the invitation, Josh. Sir Nate the Rogue, Central Point, Oregon, 333.
He says he belonged to intelligence. Referring to Epstein, no doubt.
Sir Nate the Rogue, P.S., Go Podcasting, Emoji.

Speaker 1 All right, thank you. Emoji.
Is there a go podcasting emoji, or are you just saying emoji? Just like a Charrett's thing. Emoji! Emoji! Emoji!

Speaker 1 Chris in

Speaker 1 Berkreim,

Speaker 1 Norway.

Speaker 1 I'm guessing. 333.
We have a lot of Norwegians that listen to this show. And memory, my brother, Vance Knudsen, his trip on the roller coaster called Life ended November 14th, aged 50.

Speaker 1 To any No Agenda producers, please pick up that phone and call a friend or relative. You keep thinking about calling, but never do.
Maybe you can make a difference. Chris, the

Speaker 1 Med Venning Hilson. Med Vedring Hilson.

Speaker 1 Best regards.

Speaker 1 With many happy regards.

Speaker 1 Executive producer of no agenda.

Speaker 1 Sorry about that, Chris.

Speaker 1 Coming in from Las Vegas, Nevada, with a long note. Moose,

Speaker 1 21165, also known as Normatic Stephen Moose. And he says, hey, John.

Speaker 1 Hey, John. Just wanted to follow up on the note I wrote last time because I didn't want to write something about the meetup and be a douchebag and not donate.
It was my first time donating over $200.

Speaker 1 I wasn't sure how to attach the notes to the donation. Yes, I'm passing through town.
I was thrilled to attend my second meetup ever and hang out with fellow producers regarding the meetup.

Speaker 1 The comments about John, they were meant to be taken in jest. Oh, this is that you were

Speaker 1 off-putting. And I was sick.

Speaker 1 And I left. Also, I didn't.
And I didn't stand around for photos.

Speaker 1 By the way, the funny thing is, most of the time I do get some photos.

Speaker 1 It was the timing. The place was packed.

Speaker 1 It was more than the usual number i mean we had at least 40 and normally it's about 30 and it actually makes well this is a lesson in uh in nuance and writing you know things can be taken out of context he says also i didn't realize my bad that the person you were talking to wasn't your son everyone i talked to at the meetup told me that so told me it was so i assumed it was the case as well he's got uppercase ass i genuinely appreciate all the things you and adam do for the show it was great hanging out with the other producers I made a promise to a listener named Ken, Sparkle Buckets, and his wife, Jill, to give them a shout-out for some jobs karma for Ken.

Speaker 1 Also wanted to thank them for the beer. I'm really looking forward to attending Burning Man with them next year.
Oh, brother.

Speaker 1 That's the kicker in that note. Burning Man.
He's a burner or a future burner.

Speaker 1 I want to wish a happy retirement to Sir Chris of Carmel and Dame Kristen, safe travels this week.

Speaker 1 Finally, I want to express my gratitude to my best friend, Sir John of Jupiter, who introduced me to the show several years ago.

Speaker 1 He's an amazing person, a great husband, and a loving father to his three daughters. I thoroughly enjoyed spending time with his family during my summer stay in Salt Lake City.

Speaker 1 Although Sir Sean of the Northern Everglades gave him a good punch in the mouth, guess you can blame him for introducing us to the show.

Speaker 1 Please continue to do great work as well, as the show has a significant impact on many of our listeners' lives. And John, next time we're at a meetup, we're definitely getting a photo together.

Speaker 1 Thank you, says nomadic Stephen Moose. And here is the Jobs Karma requestist.

Speaker 57 Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.

Speaker 58 Let's vote for jobs.

Speaker 40 You got karma.

Speaker 1 Here we go with Eli the Coffee Guy, $211.20.

Speaker 1 A huge thank you for everyone who jumped on the early release of our gigawatt canned cold brew. I'm drinking the bread.

Speaker 1 I love it.

Speaker 1 Really appreciate the support and the kind words so many of you leave in the notes when ordering. It's humbling to know how many producers love our coffee.

Speaker 1 You know, their coffee grinds. I have a, I go, I don't use their coffee exclusively because I like to have contrast once in a while.
Oh, everybody. I will say contrast.

Speaker 1 Their coffee requires a coarse grind because it really, I don't know what it is. But it's interesting how every, you know, if you got a brevel,

Speaker 1 you know, you get this, you get this fine, you can fine-tune. You have to,

Speaker 1 with the real Brevel,

Speaker 1 you have to have it so the coffee starts coming out in the eight-second mark.

Speaker 1 And so you have to keep adjusting the grind so this occurs.

Speaker 1 And their coffee really requires a very interesting grind compared to almost everybody else's.

Speaker 1 Wow, that's good info. Well, it's useless.
Sorry.

Speaker 1 We really appreciate your support. The kind words of so many.
That's okay. I picked up the sarcasm.
The kind words, menu, leave in the notes. It's humbling to know how many producers love a coffee.

Speaker 1 That's the idea. And what it's, by the way, still better than the contrasting coffees I try,

Speaker 1 especially some of their blends. Every once in a while, he hits something out of the park.

Speaker 1 Also, a happy birthday to my amazing wife, Jen, the other half of Gigawatt.

Speaker 1 She did the design for

Speaker 1 the cans. She's obviously

Speaker 1 we love Jen's cans. No, she

Speaker 1 thank you. Your website, gigawatt coffee roasters.com, to see how they are her handiwork, visit the website.
For anyone who missed out, don't worry. The official launch drops on Black Friday.

Speaker 1 Until then, stay caffeinated to Eli the coffee guy. Yeah, I love the Gigawatt can cold brew.
I really do, especially you shake it hard to release the nitro.

Speaker 1 Alejandro Alocer, 210 and 60 cents. He says, thanks.

Speaker 1 You're welcome. Great work, guys.
Adam, please go to The Fallen State with Jesse Lee Peterson. That will be amazing.

Speaker 1 No Agenda and Jesse are the only. Oh, please go on The Fallen State.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 If he emails me, we can see if we can work it out.

Speaker 1 What is The Fallen State? It's a podcast, I guess. No Agenda and Jesse are the only shows worth my time and money.
Hilarious and profound. Many more public service years, please.

Speaker 1 I'm not familiar with The Fallen state. I'll take a look while you read the next note, which apparently you have.

Speaker 1 No, the next notes from Linda and Scott Johnson. I don't.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah, this one. This is, they actually donated last time.
This is the people in Kissimmee. Kissimmee? Kissimi, whatever we pronounce it.
Kissimmee. Is this another donation of 204.77?

Speaker 1 Just a check that came in that said photo export because they had this photo export product they plugged profusely in the last show. And here's another check from them with no note.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Wow, this

Speaker 1 Jesse guy does like a show every single day. Oh, a hard worker.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 It seems to be a lot of interesting.

Speaker 1 He's got a lot of AI images on his YouTube. Okay.

Speaker 1 All right.

Speaker 1 We go to, there she is, Linda Lupak in Lakewood, Colorado. And she wants jobs, karma, and says, as always,

Speaker 1 for a competitive edge with a resume that gets results, go to imagemakersinc.com for all of your executive resume resume and job search needs. That's all of them.
And that's ImageMakers Inc. with a K.

Speaker 1 And you get to work with Linda Lu, Duchess of Jobs and writer of winning resumes.

Speaker 57 Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.

Speaker 1 Let's vote for jobs.

Speaker 40 You've got karma.

Speaker 1 Then we come to Sir Switcheroo, the Black Baron of the I-4 corridor. And he came in with 200 bucks, and he did send in a note,

Speaker 1 which I have.

Speaker 1 And you should cue up the

Speaker 1 Fomer clip. Okay.
Foamer. Foamer.
Got it.

Speaker 1 The request will be more obvious.

Speaker 1 This is Switcheroo. It's another thing you got to do.
Yeah. This is Associate Executive Producership.

Speaker 1 This is the second time this has happened to Vladimir Putin. Oh, no.
Okay.

Speaker 1 Let's switch my night name from Surfer to Sir Switcheroo. I haven't been surfing.
Oh, it used to be Sir Fur. Get it? Yes.
I haven't haven't been surfing much lately because I'm getting too old.

Speaker 1 I'm 65. Furthermore, I've donated more switcheroos than my own producer credits.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. Jingles.

Speaker 1 Foamer, followed by a tucker laugh if Adam would be so kind. And karma for all producers.
Thank you for your courage. Love is lit.
Oh, come.

Speaker 1 I'll give it a shot.

Speaker 1 Oh, my God.

Speaker 1 Wow!

Speaker 1 Listen to that horn!

Speaker 1 You're pretty good. You've got karma.

Speaker 1 It's hard to do it on.

Speaker 1 It's hard to do it on command.

Speaker 1 It's always hard to do stuff like that on command. But

Speaker 1 you have the skill. I brought it.
I brought it. You did.

Speaker 1 It was a killer. Thank you to these executive and associate executive producers who went to noagendadonations.com to keep us going for another four more years.

Speaker 1 We'll be thanking the rest of our supporters, $50 and above. It's time, talent, and treasure.
Yes, you can hit someone in the mouth. Yes, you can set up a a meetup.
Yes, you can send us some artwork.

Speaker 1 Yes, you can send us jingles. End of show mixes.
All of it is appreciated, especially the financials, because even we have bills to pay. Thank you again.
Congratulations. Go to noagenda donations.com.

Speaker 1 My formula is this:

Speaker 1 we go out, we hit people in the mouth.

Speaker 1 I tried it again.

Speaker 1 Tried it again, everybody. It's raining here.
It's cats and dogs. Raining cats and dogs here.
It rained here last night, cats and dogs. Yeah.
I want to play a little warning clip here. A warning clip.

Speaker 1 Yeah, oysters and scallops in Japan clip. This is part of, well, this is only part of a long presentation that was on NHK.

Speaker 1 And they have had an oyster kill-off and the scallop kill-off, and they can't produce enough, and their prices are going to skyrocket. I don't know if it's going to affect it.

Speaker 1 It doesn't seem to be happening anywhere else, but the Japanese are going to pay too much, which means that they're going to import stuff, which means his prices are going to go up.

Speaker 1 So, people should be out there aware of the fact that oysters and scallops may cost more.

Speaker 59 There could be multiple factors behind the dead oysters. In addition to global warming, there has been little rain, which means the water salt level is higher.
This could have impacted their health.

Speaker 59 Fish that feel hot in Japan will move north to somewhere the the water temperature feels appropriate,

Speaker 59 but oysters are fixed in one place. The situation with the scallops has continued for several years, and for oysters, too.

Speaker 59 Before, I heard about damage in certain areas, but this time it's broader, covering the three prefectures of Hyogo, Hiroshima, and Okayama. It really is unprecedented.

Speaker 12 He also says there won't be an easy fix, and shellfish-hungry consumers may have to fork out much more than they're used to.

Speaker 1 Well, how come they didn't say it's due to climate change?

Speaker 1 They did at the beginning of your day. Ah, it was due to climate change.
Well, they said it might be.

Speaker 1 They're not so, you know, they're not cocksure about it.

Speaker 1 I have some food-related clips. Oh, which is, yes, it's from the BBC, so take it with

Speaker 1 your grain of salt. But

Speaker 1 a new, like, surprise, surprise, they release

Speaker 1 a new peer-reviewed.

Speaker 1 What's the

Speaker 1 place where you release all of your studies, your

Speaker 1 medical stuff?

Speaker 1 What kinds of places? Yeah, well, one of the big ones. Processed food is not good for you.

Speaker 1 What? What?

Speaker 1 I know.

Speaker 56 A giant conspiracy to promote addiction, spread chronic disease, and cause us to lead shorter, sicker lives.

Speaker 56 That's what ultra-processed foods are, essentially, according to a global study published in the Lancet Medical Journal, Journal, which argues that so-called UPFs are linked to illnesses such as cancer and diabetes.

Speaker 1 What?

Speaker 56 Chris Van Tulliken is professor of infection and global health at University College London.

Speaker 56 He's one of the authors of the study and he's also the author of the influential book Ultra-Processed People.

Speaker 60 Ultra-processed food is a formal scientific definition. It's also known as Nova Group 4.

Speaker 60 It broadly describes the category of packaged goods made by transnational food corporations and to understand how they're made and why they're so full of additives you've got to sort of imagine that you're running a food company so if you're running a food company and i'm running a food company we've only got two ways of making money we can drop the price of ingredients so we start using additives flavors rather than strawberries emulsifiers rather than eggs and we can also engineer our food so that it's very hard to stop eating and people buy lots and lots of it.

Speaker 60 We can dominate food environments, we can suppress real and whole food. And so that's the project of transnational food companies.

Speaker 60 And I say that without agenda, that's sort of what we pay them to do in a way.

Speaker 1 Well, now, this is riveting. And it's amazing how

Speaker 1 people are. Riveting.

Speaker 1 Would you rather do your TikTok clips? I'm fine. No, no, I want to hear the rest of this.
And you have to say that. I mean, of course, we're both in total agreement with what he's saying.

Speaker 1 Well, what I like is that he's saying it's part of the whole system. It's like

Speaker 1 we process the food, you get sick, you stay sick, we keep you going with some pharmacists.

Speaker 1 Yes, you want ultra-processed people.

Speaker 56 And you're a co-author of this paper in The Lancet. Just tell us what its findings are.

Speaker 60 This is a series of three papers published in The Lancet today being launched at the Royal College of Physicians in London.

Speaker 1 I'm sorry, it's not The Lancet, it's The Lancet. It's the Lancet.
Get it straight, The Lancet.

Speaker 60 The authorship is primarily from the global south, from Latin America and Brazil, and from sub-Saharan Africa. There are authors also from all around the world.

Speaker 1 There are 43 of us.

Speaker 60 The paper is broken up into three sections. First of all, we look at the scientific evidence linking ultra-processed food to health harms.

Speaker 60 And we've done a formal meta-analysis of more than 100 of the kind of studies that links tobacco to lung cancer.

Speaker 60 And we've looked at lots of experimental evidence, both animal evidence, human evidence, laboratory evidence, alongside this population data.

Speaker 60 So we're very clear now that we have reached the threshold where we can say a dietary pattern high in ultra-processed food causes negative health outcomes.

Speaker 60 And there's a wide range of these: obesity, weight gain, metabolic disease, cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, stroke, gastrointestinal disease, depression, and early death from all causes.

Speaker 60 And we know from other published work that poor diet has overtaken or is at least on parity with tobacco now as the leading cause of early death on planet Earth.

Speaker 1 So it's as bad as smoking.

Speaker 1 I wonder, you know, when I hear these stories, I always wonder if they include mortadella

Speaker 1 as ultra-processed. What is the mortadella? Mortadella is what bologna should be.
Oh. It's Italian.

Speaker 1 It is

Speaker 1 their big slices of lunch meat that the Italians sell. It's absolutely delicious.

Speaker 1 Mortadella is what you get instead of bologna. And is it processed?

Speaker 1 Well,

Speaker 1 yeah. I mean,

Speaker 1 it's just a smooth.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it has. It's process like it's similar grind and processing that you might get from a hot dog, which is another thing I wonder about.
Is a hot dog which contains a lot of offal, O-F-F-A-L,

Speaker 1 which is the various pieces of gut and cartilage and who knows what, ground into a fine paste and then turned into a sausage.

Speaker 1 Is that, it seems to me a hot dog should be healthy because it contains all kinds of things you wouldn't normally eat.

Speaker 1 You know, the ones at Costco, those are the most healthy.

Speaker 1 And you get a drink and a hot dog for $1.25.

Speaker 1 $1.50. Did they raise the price? We thought it was a good cheaper.
No, it's always been $1.50. Your price is wrong.
Well, maybe it's cheaper in Texas.

Speaker 1 Next time you go check. I will.
So surprisingly,

Speaker 1 he's really going to talk about the poor people

Speaker 1 in the southern hemisphere.

Speaker 56 And this has long been a problem in the West, but it's a growing problem in places like Africa and Latin America.

Speaker 56 And there's no benefit for people there because these are big multinational companies that are making the profits, whereas people in places like Africa and Latin America are suffering all these health consequences you talk about.

Speaker 60 The companies that do this sort of processing, there aren't a long list of them. They're the brands you know.

Speaker 60 They make your breakfast cereals, your favorite cola drink, your ready meals, your candy and chocolates. Ready meals.

Speaker 60 They are primarily, most of the shareholders of those companies are institutional investors based in the global north.

Speaker 1 That's broadly true.

Speaker 60 And so any benefit accrues into high-income settings that already have high-income settings.

Speaker 60 And we also have healthcare infrastructure to deal with the appalling externalised cost of the diet that the food industry essentially forces people with low-incomes to eat.

Speaker 60 And so when we look at that in a low- or middle-income context, it is completely unaffordable.

Speaker 60 And I think that's why such strong advocacy has come from particularly South and Central America, America, where in a single generation, obesity went from being essentially unheard of to being the dominant public health problem.

Speaker 1 You should give them some Ozempic. Send some Ozimpic to Africa.
That'll fix it.

Speaker 1 You know, this is annoying in the regards that they say just because something's fast food and it looks like it sells relatively cheap, it's not cheaper than... you making the same product yourself.

Speaker 1 Thank you. Or buying hamburger meat.

Speaker 1 For example,

Speaker 1 one of my favorite treats from Taco Bell,

Speaker 1 which comes and goes, that used to be on the menu permanently, but now it's not anymore, is the tostata, the bean tostada. That is a flat piece of hard cornmeal

Speaker 1 tortilla, hard cooked, and then spread with a layer of refried beans. some shredded cheese, very little shredded cheese, some lettuce, maybe some tomatoes, little pieces, which are inconsequential.

Speaker 1 And that's, and with a sauce, sauce. There's a sauce involved.
You can make, you can copy that, and I've done it. The exact same thing.

Speaker 1 Now, those things used to cost a minimum of 99 cents, but then they went up to $1.50, and I don't know what they didn't have them half the time anymore.

Speaker 1 You can make the same exact thing for about 25 to 30 cents using

Speaker 1 the same exact ingredients, only better. I would say, because we have a lot of people who are struggling who listen to the show.
Seriously, go to beefmaps.com.

Speaker 1 Find there's ranches all across America, but of course, you can find them everywhere in the world. And get ground beef from them.
Get as much as you can afford.

Speaker 1 You will be surprised what wonderful meals you can make with ground beef. I mean, you get some cheap spaghetti sauce.
You can make it yourself. You can make meatloaf.
You can make hamburgers.

Speaker 1 Use your imagination.

Speaker 3 Use the internet.

Speaker 1 Use AI.

Speaker 1 And you will, I mean, we literally buy all of our beef in one go from KNC cattle.

Speaker 1 The two of us, it takes us like three months. And the amount of money that we spend in three months for the two of us would be going out to dinner in Fredericksburg three times.

Speaker 1 That's how long you can stretch buying beef directly from a rancher.

Speaker 1 And it's much healthier. Man, it's really raining here.
It's like storming.

Speaker 1 Yes, it's a a healthier,

Speaker 1 even if it's not like the copy of a tostada, which, you know, I don't know how healthier refried beans, I'm not sure.

Speaker 1 But whatever the case is, it's these idea that poor people have to eat from these fast food operations. I mean, would you know what a Big Mac could cost a fortune?

Speaker 3 Yeah, you don't have to, by the way.

Speaker 1 And you don't have to. I mean, you can do it if you have the wherewithal.
You need a frying pan and maybe a stove. Yeah.
But okay. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Digital ID,

Speaker 1 closer and closer every day. We're moving in.
We're getting

Speaker 1 teeing things up. And here's the latest.

Speaker 61 The massive online gaming platform Roblox, which is used by millions of children under the age of 13, announced today it'll soon require every player to scan their face and use AI-powered facial technology to estimate their age.

Speaker 1 We tested it out at Roblox headquarters earlier this year.

Speaker 61 Dozens of families, along with the Kentucky and Louisiana attorneys general, have sued Roblox and chat platform Discord for allegedly failing to protect children from sexual predators on their platforms.

Speaker 61 Roblox CEO David Buzzuki spoke today with Tony DeCoppol on CBS Mornings.

Speaker 1 For parents who are like, geez, now I'm supposed to send a picture of my kid in?

Speaker 31 That sounds crazy to me. What do you say?

Speaker 35 I want to highlight this isn't a selfie or this isn't capturing a picture that could ever be shared or or exposed. But we're really not

Speaker 35 storing these images. They're deleted soon after we process them.

Speaker 61 Roblox says it has revamped its online safety center as well and says the new age check requirement will roll out first in Australia, New Zealand, and the Netherlands, then expanding to more countries in early January.

Speaker 61 Meanwhile, Discord says it does not comment on pending litigation and says it's deeply committed to safety.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Discord is not going to do any of that. We can't let the spooks in that way.
Oh, and Discord's is not going to be a part of that. Oh, it's no good.

Speaker 1 And of course, we have the real ID here in the United States, which is nothing more than your driver's license with a little star stamp on it. But, you know, that'll be digital soon enough.

Speaker 1 And we're just amping it up to make sure everybody gets one.

Speaker 29 The TSA is now proposing a new rule to charge passengers who don't have a real ID or a passport. Those passengers would pay $18 and have their identity verified at special kiosks.

Speaker 29 The verification would be good for 10 days.

Speaker 1 It's not clear when the new rule would go into effect.

Speaker 1 Man, none of this is good.

Speaker 1 None of this is good.

Speaker 1 It's heading. It's heading that way.

Speaker 1 Well, let's don't let it.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Complaining on a podcast usually helps.

Speaker 3 That's

Speaker 1 the way to go. It stops people

Speaker 1 complaining.

Speaker 1 It stops legislation and its tracks. The question these days, though, should we even call it a podcast anymore?

Speaker 1 is okay here we go this is the question yes you are familiar with bill simmons

Speaker 1 no bill simmons used to be on espn he was a big guy on bill oh the big oh bill that bill simmons bill simmons yeah the big espn bill simmons guy so he started the ringer very very uh well-known podcast network which he sold to spotify uh did quite well for himself And now it's up in the air now.

Speaker 1 Should we call this a podcast? Brian asks, at what point do we retire the term podcast? Nobody uses an iPad. And with the pivot to video and streaming, these are very clearly talk shows.

Speaker 1 I love how he doesn't correct. Stop, stop, stop.
Yeah, no, he doesn't. I love how he doesn't correct iPad to iPod.
Yeah, he said iPad. Yeah, so he's.

Speaker 1 It's a podcast.

Speaker 1 Not necessarily.

Speaker 1 I think we're stuck with the term.

Speaker 1 I just think we're going to morph into saying video podcasts or podcasts, depending on if it's a video show or not.

Speaker 1 But if you look at the definition of podcasts, which I looked up, a podcast is a program made available in digital format for download over the internet.

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 1 It is in an RSS feed, not just for download over the internet, you dope. Yeah, we used to download over the internet back in the

Speaker 1 early 90s,

Speaker 1 all throughout the 90s. And the podcast technically was invented in around 2005.
2005 for by you well technically the technical aspect 2000 but the

Speaker 1 you throughout the 90s you could download audio yeah so this is not true bill simmons over the internet so why would we change that um

Speaker 1 maybe it'll change and just become shows maybe though

Speaker 1 maybe because we stop making tv shows maybe

Speaker 1 podcasts become shows and we just call everything show that's the only thing i can see it now how about we call it you mean like the no agenda show? I think we should call it a netcast. Netcast.

Speaker 1 Netcast. I like podcast, though.
I'm down for that. Podcast, I'm going for it.
I'm down for podcasts.

Speaker 1 This is show title.

Speaker 1 People will think we had a typo. Oh, man, you typoed podcasts.
You put padcast. That is exactly what they say in that voice.
All right. Hey, I'll let you have the last clip here.

Speaker 1 You've got one of your many TikToks to choose from. Yeah, and these are going away, by the way.
No, absolutely. Sure, they're at least one of these days.
Now, I got

Speaker 1 the stupid Apple Pay girl. Oh, I'm interested in her.
Is she really stupid? I think this is, you know, I'd like the Trump resigning one because this is going around too.

Speaker 38 Well, let's listen to that.

Speaker 1 But I'm going to go with the TikTok Apple Pay girl. And now I even sent a note to Brunetti and never got an answer back.
Of course, not. Is this girl acting? I don't think so.

Speaker 1 I think she's dead sincere because her tears are real. She's like, her nose is red.
And

Speaker 1 she's miserable. And this is why.

Speaker 50 If you use Apple Pay, honestly, just be so careful. This is a little embarrassing to admit, but if this could help one person, then I'm really willing to share what my experience was.

Speaker 50 I'm just going to lay it out like this. When you use Apple Pay, that's real money.
That's true American dollars from your credit card.

Speaker 50 If you have your credit card connected, that's where the money is being sourced from.

Speaker 50 It's not like a special form of Apple Pay, Apple dollars. Why they don't just say this is real money while you're paying, I don't know.

Speaker 50 Because I thought that I had accumulated a bunch of Apple dollars to use for Apple Pay by, you know, spending so much time on my phone,

Speaker 50 giving my data very freely and willingly to any place that asked. Like, whatever they say, are cookies okay?

Speaker 50 I say yes, yes, yes, because I thought that's how I was getting prizes, getting rewards, getting Apple dollars. So I didn't think that was real money until I checked my credit card bill.

Speaker 50 I've been spending money like I'm a friggin millionaire. I got hair moose.

Speaker 62 I have straight hair. My hair doesn't even hold loose.

Speaker 50 I call Apple to straighten things out.

Speaker 62 I look at it.

Speaker 50 I please pick with Mr. Steve Jobs.
They go, he's no longer with us.

Speaker 50 Well,

Speaker 1 that is really possible.

Speaker 1 I can totally see where someone thought that by giving you

Speaker 1 your information and all your passwords, that you were getting Apple rewards, Apple Pay. Congratulations.
I'm in total agreement with you.

Speaker 1 I think people could, because

Speaker 1 of all the freebies you get from playing the games, or, well, go here and read this ad, and you'll get some credits. Yeah.
All these bogus credits for this, that, and the other thing. And Apple Pay.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 1 Is that part of it? Maybe that's. Did she have a nose ring, blue hair? No.
Did she have a

Speaker 1 Palestine flag? Nope. None of the above.
Huh.

Speaker 1 She seemed like a normal, like, 17-year-old or 18-year-old. Let's do Trump resigning because it's just, now you mention it, I just, I really have to hear it.

Speaker 3 Okay, here we go.

Speaker 32 So Donald Trump is going on national television tonight at 9.45 p.m.

Speaker 32 He's either going to completely deny and try to distract the American people from the clear emails and damage of the Epstein files that are going to come down on his head, or he's going to take a play out of Nixon's handbook and he's going to resign and he's going to have J.D.

Speaker 32 Vance issue him a pardon to protect him from any wrongdoings or criminal actions. One way or the other, his time as president is near.

Speaker 1 He might even try to use an excuse of his health.

Speaker 32 I need to step down because my health is failing and I'm not able to really continue on as president. One way or the other, the idea of him resigning the presidency at 9.45 p.m.
tonight seems real.

Speaker 32 But considering if you look at all of the damage and things that are going on around him, the allegations, the fact that we don't even have all of the files out yet, and the petition is making its way through the House and the Senate.

Speaker 32 What do you guys think? Leave a comment.

Speaker 1 Well, I think you're an idiot. Can I leave that comment? Yeah, I'm sure he got plenty of that comment.
You don't have to leave that comment.

Speaker 1 And this was from yesterday?

Speaker 3 Or was it? No, a couple of days ago. Oh,

Speaker 1 you should get back on that guy's channel. You know, his TikTok channel.
I

Speaker 1 collect these clips for the show for the amusement. This is my man on the street kind of concept.
Oh, is that what it is? And that's what it is. So

Speaker 1 I don't want to interact any further than just playing the clip and mocking it on the show. Yes.
Which, you know, I think somebody out there appreciates. Not everybody.

Speaker 1 Well, a Griffin University study has validated a long suspected reality.

Speaker 1 SFVs, which is what you're looking at, short-form videos, and Instagram reels are frying brains, slashing attention spans, and crippling cognitive endurance.

Speaker 1 So, you may want to be careful with the NSV. I believe me,

Speaker 1 I can deal with it.

Speaker 1 I'm too old for this to happen to me.

Speaker 1 I'm going to show my support by donating to no agenda. Imagine all the people who could do that.
Oh, yeah, that'd be fab.

Speaker 1 Oh, no

Speaker 1 So we do have a few people to thank for that

Speaker 1 donated $50 and above. And I've been making this segment part of my regime for the last 18 years, but Adam is now doing it for the next 18 years, and he begins now.

Speaker 1 Yes, we start with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 from Nathan Cochran, expert bass player for the band Mercy Me from Franklin, Tennessee. I would like to call out his other bandmates.
I don't see them.

Speaker 1 I haven't seen them on the list as regularly as Nathan. Nathan is the go-to guy.
Nathan is the guy. That's right.
And he's like the quietest guy.

Speaker 1 He's not like Shwoo. Shwoo is the lead guitar.

Speaker 1 Yeah. It's a typical lead guitar guy.
You got Barry, Barry's rhythm guitar guy.

Speaker 1 But Nathan, guy in the back, next to the drummer, like all introverted looking, he's the guy. Thank you, Nathan.
We got Franks, Fab, and Machine.

Speaker 1 If you're looking for a machine or a fab, go to Howl, Michigan. That's Frank's Fab and Machine.
You know,

Speaker 22 I might need

Speaker 1 a fabricator and a machinist. Yes, he wants some jobs, Carm.
I'll get that to you at the end. Stephen Mann, Plymouth, Michigan, $105.35.
James Shepherd in Kehe,

Speaker 1 Hawaii, Kihei, I think, $100. David in Calistoga, California, $100.

Speaker 1 Drug Girl.

Speaker 1 Cincinnati, Ohio, $100. And she does say John's Eating the Beaver comment had me spitting out my water.
Love your show. Finally.
Drug Girl.

Speaker 1 Yeah. You got the Drug Girls.
I'm so happy for you.

Speaker 1 Whatever. It works.
Giraj. She's probably a beauty.

Speaker 1 Giraj Kojak, Parts Unknown, boob donation, 8008. And Sir Kevin McLaughlin comes in with 8008.
No note from him, which is strange.

Speaker 1 He also came in super late. Hmm.

Speaker 1 He'd forgotten to do it, but he's the Archduke of Luna, lover of American Lover of History. He sure is.
Laos Day. Dale, Laos, Dale.
Laos Day. 75 from Terry Wentz and Langley Washington.

Speaker 1 Ross Johnson and Eugene Oregon, 7373, complaining.

Speaker 1 I'm Scott Simon. No agenda should move to Friday and Sunday.
Seems for the last Monday. It seems for the last 12 months, the show misses breaking news by only hours.

Speaker 1 No, if we move it, it would be the same thing. Yeah.
They're aware of the show, and they break the news during the show.

Speaker 1 Yes, they're aware of the show. They're aware of our calendar.
So it wouldn't change anything. Russell Coorie in St.
Cloud, Florida, 6969. It's his

Speaker 1 brother Mike's birthday today. He's on the, oh, I want to call him out as a douchebag.
Douchebag.

Speaker 1 And he is on the list. Brian P.
Bell in Aspury, New Jersey. Asbury, sad puppy donation.
Thank you. Then we have a long note here from Chad Hewitt.
But Chad does become a knight today.

Speaker 1 So let's see what he says. Before the pandemic, I don't think I ever listened to a podcast.

Speaker 1 When the world was locking down around us, my employer was threatening to fire me, and the government seemed ready to force vaccination.

Speaker 1 We searched desperately for everywhere we could to find the truth. I thank God that there were still independent voices out on the internet.

Speaker 1 And even though many seem to be getting censored hard, this is when we found the life-saving communication from the HighWire with Del Bigtree, Children's Health Defense with RFK Jr., the FLCC, now the Independent Medical Alliance, and the No Agenda Show.

Speaker 1 And I have not missed a show since. Heard about the show when Adam was on the Glenn Beck podcast.
On show 17.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Glenn Beck donation. And this is $66.40, by the way.
On the show 1734, there was discussion about how AI was saying cows lay eggs. So I thought, that's funny.

Speaker 1 Maybe I should try to have AI create that picture. It actually turned out pretty good.
So after some clumsy photo editing, I decided to try to post it before the end of the show.

Speaker 1 I was frantically trying to create an account, attempting multiple times to get the right size and upload it. With my daughter's help, it worked as the closing songs were playing.

Speaker 1 To my surprise, a few minutes later, it was picked as the show's cover. That was a blast.
It happens. After a few more times of entering show art, I got picked again for show 1739 with Boxing Soccer.

Speaker 1 The following show, though, a real artist wrote to Adam and exposed the truth that there was just AI crap, slop, lame, infantile. And he just types things into a prompt, and there it is.
It's true.

Speaker 1 As an artist, I'm a no, no-talent ass clown. My daughter, who is an actual graphics designer, also disapproves of my use of AI.

Speaker 1 This note is all over the place. Overall, I'm still.
No kidding. I'm still a drunk driver.
It is still thrilling.

Speaker 1 It is. Hold on a a second.

Speaker 1 I'm doing three things at the same time. It is still thrilling to try and come up with slop art in the short amount of time between topics to get a laugh during the next show.
Thanks for the fun.

Speaker 1 Thank you both. And God bless.
I would like to be

Speaker 1 knighted, sir, Blue Acorn or Folsom. This is Blue Acorn.

Speaker 1 And he wants...

Speaker 1 Yeah, this is Blue Acorn. Well, good old Blue Acorn.
That's interesting. Yes, he wants Dos Coyote Fajitas.
and red trolley ale at the roundtable, which I believe we have.

Speaker 1 Man, that's like

Speaker 1 all this Mexican food reminds me of the movie that I watched last night with Keanu Reeves.

Speaker 1 He has a new one out on Netflix.

Speaker 1 Hold on a second. What is it called? It's a fun little movie.
It's called Good Fortune with Seth Rogan, Keanu Reeves, and Aziz Ansari. It's actually quite good.
It's wholesome for the whole family.

Speaker 1 Well, kind of. There's some language.

Speaker 1 So you'll be at the roundtable. Got you covered.

Speaker 1 Sometimes you want to go hang out with all the nights and days.

Speaker 1 You to be where you

Speaker 1 Well, I have a feeling I'm going to miss the

Speaker 1 not gonna make the ISO.

Speaker 1 You've got three of them. And did you hear, by the way, that 11 Labs is now licensing actors' voices?

Speaker 1 No, but it makes sense. Yeah, let me see.
I think I had a clip on it. I can't seem to get any.
I mean, of course, I'm

Speaker 1 trying to hang in there with a free account.

Speaker 5 Well, listen to this: legendary actor Michael Caine has licensed his unmistakable voice to New York-based AI company 11 Labs.

Speaker 1 All right, all right, all right.

Speaker 5 Another Hollywood star has also signed a deal with them.

Speaker 1 A good man stands for certain ideals.

Speaker 5 Matthew McConaughey is allowing the company to translate his newsletter in Spanish using his voice.

Speaker 1 Hola, Feliz Biernes Atodos.

Speaker 1 Doesn't sound like him at all. It doesn't sound like him at all.

Speaker 5 Evan Labs, which is valued at $6.6 billion.

Speaker 1 $6.6 billion. They should give you a free account.

Speaker 1 They think. You know, in the olden days when I was famous.
Oh, yeah. Yeah, back in those days.

Speaker 1 I would have gotten free accounts, no problem, and

Speaker 1 a blowjob.

Speaker 1 All combined. But

Speaker 1 that doesn't happen anymore. I used to get free entrance with a gold card to the Hard Rock Cafe, but no blowjobs.

Speaker 5 $2.6 billion.

Speaker 5 It has a catalog of voices from late and famous figures like Maya Angelou, John Wayne, and Judy Garland.

Speaker 5 At that moment, Dorothy saw lying on the table that the licensing deals are stirring up debate about the role of AI in entertainment.

Speaker 1 Blah, blah, blah. So I go to 11 Labs.
Unlike you, I have a paid account.

Speaker 1 no way

Speaker 1 oh you cheap bastard

Speaker 1 you're just a gem today

Speaker 1 and so I'm mean to you but you can call me a cheap bastard when you know that there's nothing is further from the truth in fact I am I am the the epitome of kindness and

Speaker 1 and

Speaker 1 well then what's the deal

Speaker 1 well the problem is so I wanted to get Michael cain doing a no agenda end of show iso right because then you could kick my ass in this deal because i phone for the free voice easily yeah easily you're just trying to beat me and and so you click on the voice like you got to give them your name send them a message you know they're going to what do you want to use it for and then they're going to tell you how

Speaker 1 that stinks it's total stinkville it's no good it's going to be really expensive i'm not interested in that oh that's it's just a bait and switch i i felt that way yes

Speaker 1 Anyway, here are my. By the way, we have John's tip of the day coming and some dynamite AI slop.
Not all. Oh, by the way, if you remember, this will be a joint tip of the day.

Speaker 1 This cracks me up. You always forget these things.

Speaker 1 I can't wait.

Speaker 1 Don't blow it. No,

Speaker 1 when I tip you off,

Speaker 1 you will. Oh, geez, I forgot about this.
Okay, here we go. Here are my end of show ISOs.
I don't know what they're talking about.

Speaker 1 It's not bad, right? No, that's good. Got another one.
Whoa, that's happening.

Speaker 1 Yeah. And then I went to the well.
Well, you don't see that every day.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but you don't see this. We're a podcast.

Speaker 1 You don't see anything. Oh, please.
Okay. What do you have from the slop machine? Okay, well, I have a real one, Bai.

Speaker 3 Bai. Bye.

Speaker 1 Always a winner. Yeah.
Yeah. You've used that one.
And then we have, let's go with nuts.

Speaker 3 If you did not like this, then you are nuts.

Speaker 1 That's pretty good. Yeah.
Well, then go with awards.

Speaker 23 This podcast should be winning all the awards.

Speaker 24 Well, it's obvious.

Speaker 1 That's the one we're going to use because it's true. We should be winning the awards.

Speaker 1 Green faster, you and me. Just the tip with JCD.

Speaker 1 And sometimes Adam.

Speaker 1 Well, I cannot wait. It's a joint tip of the day.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I'll trigger the joint tip by just saying to you, hey, you bought a new TV, did you?

Speaker 1 Yeah, I bought a new TV. There's nothing on.
Yes, this was at Costco.

Speaker 1 We were at Costco. Our TV is 12 years old.
It came with the house. And

Speaker 1 we've been saying to each other for weeks now, like, you know, we should really get a new TV because we can get a little, we had a 56-inch.

Speaker 1 We could go up a size 65.

Speaker 1 And it's uncanny because once I hung that sucker up, for like a week, there was nothing worth watching at all. At all.

Speaker 1 We're talking about TV here, not content. Yeah, well, exactly.
So

Speaker 1 the tip is: if you go to Costco and we went to the Costco in San Antonio, where I'm sure, I'm so sure that I paid $220. You don't need to just get this brand at Costco, but okay.

Speaker 1 Well, I'm sure that I paid $125 for my hot dog and drink, but I guess it was $150.

Speaker 1 And this is an OLED OLED from LG.

Speaker 1 Now they have two. They have one with the

Speaker 1 A9i processor, which is some AI nonsense. You want the 8, the 8.

Speaker 1 And you just look at all the TVs there.

Speaker 1 And this thing just blows, I mean, blows them all away. The viewing angle, there's no, as you said, there's no viewing angle.
There's no viewing angle. You can watch it from anywhere.

Speaker 1 Now, it's not cheap because most of those TVs are around $500.

Speaker 1 And this was...

Speaker 1 I've seen them for some of these off-brands for $349 for $50.

Speaker 1 And that's what I was going for.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that was. Yeah.
But this you made the right decision. When you see this TV, well, just call it a screen.
You shouldn't even call it a TV. Just call it a screen.

Speaker 1 $9.99, man.

Speaker 1 Which was a steal, in my opinion. They're normally about $1,400.
But this is what we're talking about, the LG.

Speaker 1 By the way, do you know what LG stands for? This is why they never use the real name.

Speaker 1 The most Asian name of any company that sells anything. Best price.

Speaker 1 Lucky Gold Star. No.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Lucky Gold Star? Yeah, it's the name of LG. That's what LG means.
Oh, I didn't know that. The more you know.
The more you know.

Speaker 1 So I have been an advocate of these O L E D from L G specifically because they're the ones who specialize in them.

Speaker 1 Everybody else, you know, people make them and there's a thing called a Q L E D, which is just trying to get off the name. It's not O L E D at all.
It's just a phony. It's really nice set.

Speaker 1 Those are from Samsung. But I would say if you're going to buy a new television,

Speaker 1 it's more expensive by a factor of at least two.

Speaker 1 But the quality of an O L E D and the lightness, the thing doesn't weigh anything. No.
I mean, I took that old Sony off the wall, almost broke my back. That thing was so heavy.

Speaker 1 And this, you can lift it up with one hand. Yep, you can lift it with one hand.
It's super thin. And the luminance that comes off of it, I mean, and you have all these, Brunetti will like this.

Speaker 3 You have a creator mode.

Speaker 1 So it can automatically start up with

Speaker 1 all the settings that the filmmaker intended it to be.

Speaker 1 Which I immediately shut off. Like, shut it off.
Like, no, I want it.

Speaker 1 And then, and then you're sitting there like your eyes are burning from this OLEDs, and then you have a reduced blue light. Okay, I'll reduce that.

Speaker 1 Oh, you can definitely do that. Yeah, yeah, but it has a lot of settings you can get it, so you're comfortable with what it looks like because it has a huge, it has a bigger color gamut.

Speaker 1 It has HDR that is dynamite, which is a high dynamic range.

Speaker 1 So it's the blacks are black and the whites are white yeah it is the o L E D from L G if you're going to buy a new TV just bite the bullet and get one of these these things are fan fantastic now the only thing I'll say is

Speaker 1 I guess we've never really had

Speaker 1 HDR and 4k because I never really cared about it now I watch movies it's like Tina keeps saying it's like it's live you know because it's so I mean, you really see things that you never saw before.

Speaker 1 And I know I'm late to this party, like, the okay, boomer, where you been? I get it. Right.
You get finally get cellular tube TV.

Speaker 1 I warm that thing up for 15 minutes before I hit the other button. Remember, we had that when back in the day, you had color TVs, and he had to hit

Speaker 1 two buttons. You had to warm it up.

Speaker 1 I never had two buttons on the ones we had. Oh, I remember.
And if you had a US of A. Yeah, Yeah, and if you hit the wrong button, then it would go on right away.

Speaker 1 And my dad be like, you didn't warm it up. It's going to reduce the life of this thing.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 That's funny. The only other thing I really dislike about it is when you grab the remote control, like a mouse pointer shows up on the TV.
Yeah, I actually like that. I hate that thing.

Speaker 1 I just want to use my rocker, you know, the little rocker. By the way,

Speaker 1 if you didn't jerk it so hard,

Speaker 1 it's got to grab one of these

Speaker 1 one of these,

Speaker 1 what they're called,

Speaker 1 gyroscope chips.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 if you grab it gently and hold it, it doesn't bring the cursor up. If you shake it, the cursor shows up.
Don't move. But you're just grabbing it like magic.

Speaker 1 Grab it gently and just move it around gently. And there it is, a double tip of the day.
Get them all at tipoftheday.net. Cream masks for you and me, just the tip with JCD

Speaker 1 and sometimes at home.

Speaker 1 Created by Dana Bernetti. Yeah, people are already saying in the troller, what do you mean no viewing angle? Trust me, there's no place you can sit that you don't see a perfect screen.

Speaker 1 It's unbelievable, these things. Really unbelievable.
Yeah, there's no like optimal place to sit. No, there really is.
Well, it gotta be in the middle so I can actually see the image.

Speaker 1 We got MVP with an end-of-show slop starting it all off. Remember, getmodejams.com where you can hear all the end-of-show mixes and slop 24 hours a day.
Oysteinberg with a non-slop, homemade diddy.

Speaker 1 Then we've got David Denton coming in with two songs, biographical, one about me, and then definitely our musical closer, big finishing number about your second host on the No Agenda Show, John C.

Speaker 1 Dvorak. All fictional.

Speaker 1 It's all fictional. Yeah, it's like from a bad wiki page.
We got random thoughts coming up next on No Agenda Streams, so stay tuned for that.

Speaker 1 And we'll be back on Sunday to bring you more media deconstruction. I'm sure we'll hear something about the Epstein files after they scrub them.

Speaker 1 Remember us at NoAgenda Donations.com coming to you from the heart of the Texas Hill Country. In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.

Speaker 1 And from Northern Silicon Valley, I'm John C. Devorak.
We'll see you on Thursday. Take care.
Remember, we do not conform to the ways of the world. We do this as a public service.

Speaker 1 Adios Mofos, a hooey hooey, and such. The Gen Z discourse

Speaker 1 high. Adam got a twinkle in his deconstructor's eye.
About a certain banner, a treasure to see. A pirate flag for his collection, you see.
It's got the jolly rotor skull in that step.

Speaker 1 But that's not all to sports a little pirate head. Where can I get one? He asked with a plea.
I need that flag right here with me. Oh, the jolly rotor's draw that flag.
Let the wind make it snap.

Speaker 1 Go to Freddicksburg home on the treasure map. Adam wants the free stuff, he's got the mask.
This flagpole duel is moving fast.

Speaker 1 JCD chimed in. Well, I need one too.
I'll fly it proudly, just like you do. No flagpole standing tall in Berkeley.
Said so, I don't know about that. Right back to AC.
Oh, I'll fly it.

Speaker 1 It'll be a total riot. Yeah, I'll fly it, no problem, keep it quiet.
JCD was cunning, he played a slick hand to get the free loot from the fans across the land. Oh, the pirates draw that flag.

Speaker 1 Let the wind make it snap.

Speaker 1 A Fredericksburg shanty on the treasure map. One wants the free stuff, the other's got the mask.
This flagpole duel is moving fast.

Speaker 1 They argue you up the ante.

Speaker 1 It's a giveaway heist.

Speaker 1 You'll get the flag and I'll be put on. I'm the one who solicits all the bounty and grace.
You're getting the clue, ten points for the race. I can't talk that chest.
Wait, a flagpole.

Speaker 1 You don't have one, I protest. No, I don't have a flagpole.
What's so funny about that?

Speaker 1 Sure, I'm not wearing a Gen Z hat.

Speaker 1 This is a cracker.

Speaker 1 I got my cracker. I got my flashlight.
I got my wind-up radio. Yeah, I'm ready for the drone war.

Speaker 1 I mean, how stupid are people?

Speaker 1 I got a flashlight, a water bottle, and some crackers, and a flashlight, a stupid flashlight from the Danish government for the money that they spent on a flashlight. A Danish flashlight.

Speaker 1 I have a flashlight. Then the aliens invader have a flashlight, a Danish flashlight.

Speaker 1 So I can blind them in the eye and send them more in the sky. With my flashlight, my Danish flashlight.

Speaker 1 I have water bottle and some crackers, and a wind-up radio. So I can listen to the news in ONO with my lit flashlight.
