Speaker 1
What? Mesh tastic. Adam Curry, John C.
Dvorak. It's Sunday, November 23rd, 2025.
This is your award-winning Give One Nation Media Assassination Episode 1819. This is no agenda.
Speaker 1
Spawning sedition 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.
And from Northern Silicon Valley,
Speaker 1
where we don't believe a word of it, I'm John C. Dvorak.
It's Crack and Buskill in the morning.
Speaker 1
We don't believe a word of what? Anything. It's all breaking news.
Nobody knows anything. It's a scam.
Although, breaking, breaking, breaking news. A Ukrainian won the Sumo championship?
Speaker 1 Elonishki.
Speaker 1 Yeah, he is.
Speaker 1 That's
Speaker 1
wrong somehow. Feels wrong.
Well, it's actually two Ukrainians that are in the matches. There's a lot of Manchurians, but there's these two Ukrainians.
Seishi is the other one. She's the other one.
Speaker 1 He's not quite as good. This guy is a real technician.
Speaker 1 It's interesting to watch him because he is.
Speaker 1 I knew he was going to win. I mean, when the first time I saw him a few tournaments ago, I said, this guy's going to win something.
Speaker 1 Why didn't you call it on the show?
Speaker 1 We talk about it all the time.
Speaker 1 We don't talk about it all the time, but I could have.
Speaker 1 But he is definitely worth watching. He's a pale, he's very, he's a big guy.
Speaker 1 He's very pale. He's pale, but he's still big.
Speaker 1 But he has,
Speaker 1
he uses, he's really a technique. He can do stuff that is pretty phenomenal.
He beats guys
Speaker 1
that shouldn't be beaten by him. He can do stuff, man.
He can do stuff. He can do stuff.
He can do stuff. Yeah, I expected him to win it eventually.
Yeah. Oh.
Speaker 1 Well, they also, you know, they got to get the, you know what I'm thinking. What?
Speaker 1
Yeah, there's so there's, you know, there's an element of political stuff in there. There was a couple of matches.
There was a match with Ono Sato later earlier in the week where he clearly lost.
Speaker 1 And
Speaker 1 they could have even called it a tie, but they he
Speaker 1
and because there was a two days later, there was the exact same situation happened where the two of them went out, kind of went out at the same time. And the other guy did win.
The right guy won.
Speaker 1 Yeah. It was this.
Speaker 1
It's rigged. It's fake.
I'm not going to say it's that, but there's a lot of gambling that the Japanese love gambling. I was going to say, can we do prop bets on the sumo wrestling? I guess so.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 Yeah.
Speaker 1 Well, let's just stick in Japan because we are, of course, the best podcast in the universe, because we have the best producers in the universe. I got a note from Dame Astrid.
Speaker 1 She is the Grand Duchess of
Speaker 1 Japan and all the disputed islands in the Japan Sea.
Speaker 1 And And she said
Speaker 1 a little information on the bad oyster and clam harvest,
Speaker 1 which you highlighted on the previous episode.
Speaker 1 Indeed. Due to climate change.
Speaker 1 Here's what's really going on. China and Japan are in yet another escalating spat, and China decided once again they would not buy any more seafood from Japan.
Speaker 1 So that's because that's because did she say why?
Speaker 1
No, but I'll finish reading. She is kind of more boots on the ground than we are.
Yeah, I know, but this reporting is going on if you listen to NHK.
Speaker 1
The clam industry is in a tizzy about what to do with all the clams, and rather than selling them cheap to the Japanese, it was better to pretend a bad harvest. This is from Astrid.
So,
Speaker 1 you know,
Speaker 1 she's designed nicer buildings than you have.
Speaker 1 Yeah, but
Speaker 1
it's it's the oyster kill-off that is at issue. Yeah, maybe.
And she didn't address that. And it's scallops, which I guess come from a clam.
Yeah. But
Speaker 1 the Chinese claim that because of a recent rain or some other bull crap, that
Speaker 1 the radiation from the old food, you know, the
Speaker 1
whatever that area was where they had the earthquake hit it. is contaminating the fish and the Chinese aren't buying it for that reason.
American Yankee, you dispute Damn Astlid?
Speaker 1
No, I'm not disputing her, but she did not address the oyster issue. Well, she will now because she's a fervent listener.
Yes, she is. Which is good.
This is very good.
Speaker 1 But this doesn't mean we can't get into an argument.
Speaker 1 Well, do that in your own time. Get a room.
Speaker 1 I got the note.
Speaker 1 Oh, you did? I didn't know she copied you on it. Well, maybe I got a note from her, but
Speaker 1 that was just a note of copy. A thank you note.
Speaker 1 She knows better than to send you any information.
Speaker 1 If she wants it on the show, she'll send it to me like everybody does.
Speaker 1 So I got a note from our anonymous lobbyist in Austin.
Speaker 1 You remember the anonymous lobbyist? Oh, yeah.
Speaker 1 The official lobbyist of the No Agenda show who told us about why Texas is still a two-license plate state because of 3M and their lobbyists wanting to not lose out on 50% of the paint.
Speaker 1
Yeah, I don't blame them. So the lobbyists sent me two, I think, very valuable pieces of information.
And the first is about Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Speaker 1 And our lobbyist says, I have a unique inside connection about MTG and what's going on with it. Well, before you read this, why don't you give us a little background of what happened?
Speaker 1 Like, nobody knows? Okay. You know, you're always making these assumptions that I don't make.
Speaker 1 Now to the news that has rattled Washington over over the last couple of days, firebrand Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene announcing she will resign from her seat in January.
Speaker 1 The Georgia representative and longtime loyalist of President Trump has spent the last several weeks in a public feud with the president over the Epstein files, health care, and more.
Speaker 1 NBC's Julie Serkin is at the White House with new details. Julie, good morning.
Speaker 3 Well, good morning.
Speaker 3 President Trump on Saturday telling reporters here that he disagreed with Marjorie Taylor Greene's philosophy when asked about the Georgia Congresswoman's shocking decision to resign.
Speaker 3 The president claims she made the announcement, which caught him and House Speaker Mike Johnson by surprise, because she wouldn't have won her primary after he threatened to fund a challenger to run against her.
Speaker 3 MPG, as she's known, is meeting Congress on January 5th, and that means House Speaker Mike Johnson will soon have an even slimmer majority and even fewer votes to enact the administration's priorities.
Speaker 1 So I'll continue with the note and then we can discuss.
Speaker 1 So a colleague of the No Agenda lobbyists works with federal advocacy and is in the same district as Marjorie Taylor Greene, which is a big Trump district.
Speaker 1 The three main reasons given in no specific order: one, Trump giveth, Trump taketh.
Speaker 1 Big donors pulled out, and the initial primary candidate announced, and MTG would have lost the primary.
Speaker 1 And I have this primary candidate's announcement.
Speaker 1 Fun fact, my colleague went to high school with MTG's would-be opponent. Opponent seems, shall I say, very DIA-ish.
Speaker 1 And do you know about
Speaker 1 this guy?
Speaker 1 I have no clue about this guy that they're going to run. Christian Heard.
Speaker 1 He has a whole blurb here, but I'll read a little bit. I'm a husband, a father, a Marine, and 10th generation Georgian.
Speaker 1 Except for my time at the University of Georgia and serving in the United States Marine Corps, I've been proud to call Georgia's 14th District home for all of my life.
Speaker 1 So then he goes into, as an intelligence marine, fluent in languages.
Speaker 1
Hello. What gets better? As an intelligence marine, fluent in the languages of Iran and Afghanistan.
Okay. All right.
You've been around.
Speaker 1
I've extensive training in Middle Eastern issues and operational experience in the Indo-Pacific region. Oh, and this is so important to the locals in Georgia.
Of course not.
Speaker 1 Except for the locals who work in the military-industrial complex in Georgia. I think there's
Speaker 1
some business there. There is is everywhere.
I have witnessed firsthand the slipping of our national power in the face of existential Chinese threat and the consequences of weak leadership.
Speaker 1 While I'm committed to enabling the United States to do whatever is necessary to bury our enemies and win new Cold Wars, Marjorie Greene has consistently failed to understand America's critical role in this world and the dangers we face.
Speaker 1 I will ensure our military has what it needs to defeat evolving and advanced threats because America first means we must never allow our enemies to catch us unprepared or asleep we can never allow a chinese dominated world and if marjorie green has her way with america only isolationism we enable it this is a professional written thing he did not write no kidding i mean so turning her america first into america only
Speaker 1 i think is an interesting
Speaker 1 i think we'll be hearing that more i think so too that seems like obviously part of a prose prose at work
Speaker 1
I didn't say it. I didn't say it.
Well, I have some thoughts about it, but first let's listen to,
Speaker 1 let me see.
Speaker 1
Where do I have it here? I thought I had a thing from Trump on what he had to say about... Well, okay.
I think this comes as part of the Epstein op,
Speaker 1 which includes Massey, of course. Massey and Marjorie Taylor Greene credited with most of the
Speaker 1 news around and the actual actions of releasing the Epstein files.
Speaker 5 Representative Massey says he's concerned that the Epstein probe you are calling for.
Speaker 1 I had to run this through the AI. So Trump sounds good, but the reporter doesn't sound so good.
Speaker 1 Could be a smoke screen
Speaker 1
to lock or release some of her files. He's not the king.
Well, I don't want to talk about it because...
Speaker 1 Fake news like you, you're a terrible reporter. And fake news like you, they just keep bringing that up to deflect from the tremendous success of the Trump administration.
Speaker 1 So, a guy like Massey, his poll numbers are showing he's a 6% approval rating right now.
Speaker 1 And we call him Rand Fall Jr. because
Speaker 1 he never votes for the Republican Party. So, they're using Jeffrey Epstein as a deflection from the tremendous success that we're having as a party.
Speaker 1 Now, so the way I read what's going on here, first of all, I was clearly wrong about
Speaker 1 I really thought that MTG and Trump were playing a little game here I think you kind of at least somewhat agreed with that I hit yes that was quickly
Speaker 1 that didn't last long well here's what I'm thinking first of all this is a major warning to the Republicans and what he says there is part of it it's like hey If you're not voting with the party, then maybe you shouldn't be a member of the party.
Speaker 1 You should be an independent. but otherwise, you got to be a part of the party.
Speaker 1 That's what I mean. The success, he even said the successes we've had as a party.
Speaker 1 And
Speaker 1
I think he really likes Marjorie Taylor Greene. And it's possible that she wanted an out anyway.
This whole resigning halfway through, that's the part that makes no sense.
Speaker 1 It's like, why would you do that?
Speaker 1 And
Speaker 1
I saw her on CNN and MS Now. They finally changed their name.
MS Now. Same people, new crappy name.
Actually, worse people.
Speaker 1 I have a feeling that she may pop up with her own TV show.
Speaker 1
Well, that's a possibility. She could also run for governor.
Yeah. I don't think she's unpopular.
Speaker 1 No,
Speaker 1 I don't think she's unpopular at all.
Speaker 1 Her long announcement, she really is kind of irked by the fact that everyone hates her and they mock her and ridicule her and they threaten her and their family.
Speaker 1
You know, it's a miserable life if you're going to go the way she did. She's a QAnon nut.
She was,
Speaker 1
you know, she supported Trump in his 2020 election. It was rigged gut thesis, which was popularized with Trump.
She was a troublemaker during the Biden administration.
Speaker 1 She kept yelling at Biden during the State of the Union addresses.
Speaker 1
We all thought that was funny. It was great.
I thought it was fat. In fact, that's why I said in in the newsletter.
Speaker 1
We're going to miss her. We're going to miss her very much.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 But
Speaker 1 I think
Speaker 1
this quitting, I feel the same way. She quits out of the blue in January.
She doesn't have to do that. She could let her term run out and maintain the voting
Speaker 1 majority.
Speaker 1 But I think she was
Speaker 1 either somebody put a gun to her head or she is sick of it, can't take it anymore.
Speaker 1
That doesn't seem like her. That's what I'm saying.
It's like there's something is up.
Speaker 1
I was wrong about the game. I think I was wrong about the game that they were playing, but something seems up with this.
To say, okay, I'm not going to run anymore, that's one thing. But to quit.
Speaker 1 She doesn't seem like a quitter. She doesn't have the skill set to be a TV person.
Speaker 1
That's not a prerequisite to be on these stupid cable news channels. I'm not saying that.
I'm just saying she doesn't have the skill set.
Speaker 1 I mean,
Speaker 1 Laura Trump barely makes it on Fox. I mean, I think she's got a good show because she brings the top-notch people on as guests, but she doesn't, she's,
Speaker 1 she has, it's annoying to watch. You know, the problem with television is that
Speaker 1
if you're doing a half-hour show, you get, you can annoy the viewers really fast. I mean, I get annoyed.
I don't like this. There's a number of people that
Speaker 1 just aren't pleasant to look at. Most of them.
Speaker 1
Most of them, but a lot of them are so unpleasant. It's not like, oh, you know, this is, again, I don't want to get into this.
But she's not executive mode. But she's not unpleasant to look at.
Speaker 1 No, but she's not.
Speaker 1
It's something about her. She is not.
You can't put up with a lot of people.
Speaker 1
But listen, wouldn't it be small doses? She's great. Stay in executive mode for a second.
So we're running CNN or running MS Now. Both of them have highlighted her non-stop since his resignation.
Speaker 1 She was on CNN. She was on MS Now.
Speaker 1 I mean, in executive mode, I'd be like, let's give her a contract at least to be a commentator on
Speaker 1 how bad Trump is.
Speaker 1 If you can bring her on as a commentator, as a short-term contract. They have a term for.
Speaker 1 I mean, I would be against it in general, but if you made the argument to do it because you had a sense of it, I would say, well, I think we can give her a tryout.
Speaker 1 She can be the special correspondent on all things Trump. Don't they have special correspondents? Like
Speaker 1 senior analysts.
Speaker 1 Senior Trump analysts. It's funny how those same people become
Speaker 1 different things at different times. Yeah, but
Speaker 1 here's Marjorie Taylor Green, our senior Trump analyst.
Speaker 1 I don't think she would do that for CNN or MSC.
Speaker 1 Okay, everything, you know, she had her 10-minute video. It plays into exactly the America First versus
Speaker 1 MAGA, you know, fueling the Civil War.
Speaker 1 I doubt that she's been a Republican in disguise. Something is up with this.
Speaker 1 And I don't think she's running for president, which seems to be
Speaker 1
seems to be like Tim Dylan on Joe Rogan. Oh, yeah, no, I know it for sure.
She's running for president. Like, okay.
Speaker 1 Is that right?
Speaker 1 That's what he said, yeah.
Speaker 1 And
Speaker 1
Joe's Joe's like, wow, I hadn't thought about that. That would be great.
That's totally pleased.
Speaker 1 Yeah, I don't see that happening. But, you know, we still have this op ongoing, which I still think is to root out the bad apples in the Republican Party.
Speaker 1
And we now know that Massey has a new nickname. I'm not saying he's a bad apple, but in Trump's mind, he is Rand Paul Jr.
Yeah, I like that.
Speaker 1 That's a good one.
Speaker 1
Here was the question about Tucker. You know, Tucker, of course, interviewing Nick Fuentes.
And again, this is run through the AI to make Trump sound a little bit legible in front of the airplane.
Speaker 1 Mr. Tucker Carlson recently had a friendly interview with anti-Semite Nick Fuentes.
Speaker 1 Tucker Carlson. What role do you think Tucker Carlson should play in the Republican Party of the Conservative Symbolic Book? Well, I found him to be good.
Speaker 1 I mean, he said good things about me over the years.
Speaker 1
I think he's good. We've had some good interviews.
I did an interview with him. We read 300 million hits.
You know that. Hits?
Speaker 1 Hello, 1996.
Speaker 1 In 1996, we were selling hits.
Speaker 1 Hits.
Speaker 1 Look, I can't tell him.
Speaker 1 Wow, you know, I hate to tell you this, but just getting the, I didn't hear that, but that has to have a borderline clip of the day.
Speaker 1
Let's listen to it again. The calendar.
I did an interview with him. We read 300 million hits.
You know that.
Speaker 1 Look, I can't tell him.
Speaker 1
Will you let me finish my say? You are the worst. You're with Bloomberg, right? You are the worst.
I don't know why they even have you.
Speaker 1 We've had some great interviews with Tucker Carlson, but you can't tell him who to interview. I mean, if he wants to interview Nick Fuentes, I don't know much about him.
Speaker 1
But if he wants to do it, get the word out. Let him, you know, people have to decide.
Ultimately, people have to decide. get the word out ultimately people have to decide
Speaker 1 get what word out why did he say that ducker carlson has to get the word out
Speaker 1 i have no idea that makes no sense i mean well he's condemning that poor woman that was either catherine or pit or peggy
Speaker 1 no it's catherine
Speaker 1 it might have been piggy i don't know yeah there's this bloomberg girl why are they on the plane this this is like world tra free world travel for these reporters and they're getting these rides on the plane to go wherever.
Speaker 1 You know, this has got to be a great gig to be on the Air Force One flying around. And
Speaker 1 why are they allowed on the plane if they're so bad? This makes no sense to me.
Speaker 1
You get to pick and choose who gets to come on the plane. It's not like everyone, it's a free-for-all.
Because he likes it. He loves this.
Speaker 1 But beside that, he said,
Speaker 1 get the word out.
Speaker 1 If he hadn't said hits, you know, which kind of discredits everything coming out of his mouth.
Speaker 1 Totally does.
Speaker 1 Anyway.
Speaker 1 So this all kind of folds into Epstein. I don't want to stay on Epstein too long for obvious reasons because it's boring and we don't have anything really new.
Speaker 1 I have no clips, I don't think.
Speaker 1 I do, actually. But other than the hilarious Gmail or J Mail, you see that thing?
Speaker 1 Oh, it's a website and it functions just like Gmail, except they've put all of Epstein's emails in there, the 20,000 emails. So there's boxes on the left, like
Speaker 1
I have not seen this. Oh, it's very good.
So have you dug into it? Well, I mean, it's 20,000.
Speaker 1 Of course, I looked at it a little bit. So it's jmail.world, J-M-A-I-L.
Speaker 1 You should just pull it up because he's got on the left, he's got Michael Wolf, Larry Summers, Steve Bannon, Joey Ito, Ghislaine, Noam Chomsky, Tom Pritzker, Dershowitz.
Speaker 1 And it looks exactly like Gmail.
Speaker 1 You can read all the threads. It's very well done.
Speaker 1 Very well done. Who did it?
Speaker 1 A couple of dudes.
Speaker 1 I don't think anyone actually, did anyone claim this? Let me see. Are we sure it's not agency?
Speaker 1 Well,
Speaker 1 that's a good question because according to Wired.
Speaker 1
Let's see what Wired says. Wired's headline is: Pranksters recreated a working version of Jeffrey Epstein's Gmail box.
I think this is a very good question you pose.
Speaker 1 It's got agency written all over it, doesn't it? Yeah. Let me see what.
Speaker 1 Does it have an aboot? Is there an aboot here? Anyway, let me see.
Speaker 1 No, that doesn't. Oh, your logged in is Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 1 We compiled these Epstein estate emails from the house oversight release, converting the PDFs to structured text with an LLM made by Luke Eigel and Riley Waltz.
Speaker 1 Sure.
Speaker 1 Exactly.
Speaker 1 That's a very good point. Someone's trying to pass on a message in the form of a joke, which has, yeah, agency/slash Trump written all over it.
Speaker 1 So regarding this,
Speaker 1 I'm going to deconstruct a podcast, which usually gets people very, very mad. Whenever we do that, I will give you an example of the emails.
Speaker 1 Shooting inside the the tent, shooting inside the tent, man.
Speaker 1 Hey, when you're shooting at the enemy, don't shoot to the guy sitting next to you.
Speaker 1 And this, and this kind of came about firstly because there was JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon
Speaker 1 hosted a birthday bash this week for King Charles III at the bank's New York headquarters, had the building completely lit up in a British flag, invited Tony Blair and the British consulate, Brian Cox.
Speaker 1 I guess he's British.
Speaker 1
You know, and even though the king wasn't there, it's like, well, you know, I don't know what wasn't there. I don't know.
Wait a minute. Let me get this straight.
Speaker 1 I don't know what that was about other than I'm on your side, guys, because
Speaker 1 JP Morgan Chase is implicated in
Speaker 1 a lot of this, like a billion dollars worth of.
Speaker 1
What you witnessed was a cry for help. Cry for help, exactly.
So we've been talking about this North Sea Sea nexus, the English Dutch, the Anglo-Dutch system.
Speaker 1 And I'm proud to say that America this week with Matt Taibi and Walter Kim,
Speaker 1 no one can say Matt Taibi is a bad journalist. He's done some of the most amazing reporting, particularly, I would say, the 2008
Speaker 1 Great Depression.
Speaker 1
I mean, he did. He was financial reporting as well.
He did great financial reporting. He's also also a fun writer.
Speaker 1 Yes, and his writing is a lot more fun than listening to him on the podcast, particularly. Oh, he's terrible.
Speaker 1 But he is a terrific writer. He knows how to put the little
Speaker 1
sides in there. He's just nasty stuff.
So I had to cut out
Speaker 1
a lot of that. Yeah.
Yeah, for sure. But these guys, they're finally on the no agenda train, and I'm happy to report they're starting to figure it out.
Speaker 2 And I will stand on my contention that I think he was way more involved in the United States scene.
Speaker 1 Who is this?
Speaker 1 This is Walter Kim.
Speaker 1
Walter Kerr? Walter Kim. It's not Walter Kerr.
No, it's Walter Kim.
Speaker 1 Walter Kim. Let's see.
Speaker 1 I think it's Kim. Yeah, it's Kim.
Speaker 1 Walter Kim. Let me see.
Speaker 1 Is it Kim? I thought it was Kim.
Speaker 1 Walter Kim, journalist. Sounds exactly like Walter Kerr.
Speaker 1 Maybe it's Kerr. Maybe I'm wrong.
Speaker 1 No, no, this is the guy. American novelist, literary critic, essayist.
Speaker 1
Yeah, that would be Kerr. It's Kim.
Oh, Kern. I'm sorry, Kern, yes.
Oh, Kern, yes. Kern.
Okay, so we were both wrong. Walter Kern.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1
You were right. I got closer.
Much closer than I did. Walter Kern.
Speaker 2 And I will stand on my... contention that I think he was way more involved in the United States scene than he was the Israel agent who had somehow managed to compromise the entire U.S.
Speaker 1 establishment without the knowledge of our, or, or,
Speaker 2 you know, somehow with the cooperation of our,
Speaker 2 you know, agencies.
Speaker 1 Doesn't stand to reason.
Speaker 2 I think this is going to be an exposure of really vast proportions. And we've just seen a touch of it, his influence in Congress.
Speaker 1 Right. And that's my guess is that what it will expose, what these documents will expose, is
Speaker 1 systemic corruption on a scale previously not imaginable, right? Because with Epstein,
Speaker 1 just to take the example of the officials in both JP Morgan Chase and the U.S. Virgin Islands government,
Speaker 1 you're dealing with every single person
Speaker 1 has knowledge about who this person is and what he does. And And, you know, it's, it's one thing to
Speaker 1 look the other way
Speaker 1 when you're not sure if so-and-so might have a gambling conviction in their past or something like that. It's another thing entirely to talk about like systematic sex trafficker
Speaker 1 and money and money launder, right?
Speaker 2 And he's also in some way involved with the British.
Speaker 1 Ah, see, this is where I'm like, oh, really now? What kind of involvement could that be?
Speaker 2 You don't
Speaker 2 You don't go sit in the castles of the royal family with Trislaine Maxwell and get photographed.
Speaker 2
You don't corrupt Prince Andrew. Listen, very quietly, Prince Andrew has been moved out of the royal family.
They're stripping him of his titles right now.
Speaker 2 It just happened in the last couple of weeks.
Speaker 2 Are you kidding me?
Speaker 2 This guy had penetrated or was somehow
Speaker 2 of the British at the highest levels.
Speaker 2 And they have a lot of downside in Russia Gate, too. I mean, what we know now about the Russiagate operation was that it was a two-state job, at least.
Speaker 1 Britain's role in Russiagate is
Speaker 1 another one of those stories that,
Speaker 1 you know, if we had a real press corps, there would have been God knows how many reporters assigned to that by now, right? And they're just not because
Speaker 1 nobody does the work, right?
Speaker 2 How come they never never get mentioned how how how come it's always israel israel but we have this guy who uh you know was palling around with the second in line for the throne or whatever i guess at one point maybe uh
Speaker 2 and who has now been exiled practically from from from his
Speaker 2 the monarchy of england no biggie
Speaker 1 talk about the dog that didn't bark so i can't wait to see uh matt tallyby's inbox you zionist chill you're taking shekels again from israel no
Speaker 1 they he completely understands it well i don't know about that completely well
Speaker 1 no you're right and he will report on it and no one will read it and no one will say anything about it but at least he'll write about it and he connects this to rushagate which we already saw happening.
Speaker 1 And this is probably the reason why Trump wanted this Epstein stuff delayed because he's got, on one hand, he's got Department of Justice going after everybody who was involved in Russia gate.
Speaker 1 He wanted to bring this in at the appropriate time, which would be right before the midterms, and of all these embarrassments and everything taking place, which, by the way, I think probably wouldn't work anyway with the way our
Speaker 1 media operates.
Speaker 1 It would either be ignored or it would be
Speaker 1 because there's too much stuff out there right now that's being ignored. So let's
Speaker 1 here's what I think. But it was an idea that he had in mind, which I think is
Speaker 1 another one of the reasons he was hating on Marjorie Taylor Greene because her and these other boneheads were popping it too quick. Popping it too quick.
Speaker 1
And they couldn't take a chance on reading them in because, you know, if you do that, because there are, you know, loose cannons. Yeah.
So you couldn't say anything.
Speaker 1
Say, Marjorie, here's what we're up to. We want this to go on until like, you know, next year around March, April, May.
At least, at minimum. At least.
It would be if July would be better. Yeah.
And
Speaker 1 can you just
Speaker 1 cool your jets?
Speaker 1
Well, I can't do that. Yeah.
So here's Taibi connecting it all. It's all a carefully sculpted non-story, which again is right back where we were in 2018 and 2019.
Speaker 1 And this time, instead of anti-Russian hysteria, it's going to be Israel hysteria that's going to
Speaker 1 drive this whole thing.
Speaker 1 As you point out,
Speaker 1 you just caught me screwing this up. Robert Maxwell's British, right?
Speaker 2 He ran British newspapers.
Speaker 2 He was next to Rupert Murdoch as a purveyor of tabloid
Speaker 2
journalism in England. Ghislaine hung out with the royal family.
If you map American society, which I have tried to do in an amateur way, okay,
Speaker 2 for 30, 40 years, who knows who, who hangs out with who, where do they hang out, what do they do together, who's friends, who dates, you know, who hires each other.
Speaker 2 You will find that Jeffrey Epstein, since about the 1990s, has been one degree of separation from everyone, from entertainers to
Speaker 2 press people to politicians to royals.
Speaker 1 And then the final bit where Kern really gets to show his background.
Speaker 2 And you've got to remember, the royal family of England, in some ways, is a pyramid,
Speaker 2 is the peak of the pyramid, and even in terms of American social life.
Speaker 2 You know, those people come to America a lot, and the invitations that they give in England are answered by Americans.
Speaker 2 Vanity Fair in the 1980s, where I worked, was an absolute royal worship fest.
Speaker 1 You know,
Speaker 2 the British kind of invasion of American and New York society, which began in the 80s, went on.
Speaker 1 This is the precondition for spy.
Speaker 1 Absolutely.
Speaker 2 Absolutely. New York was edited by Tina Brown, former editor of the Tatler in the London Society magazine, whose husband was the former editor of the Sunday Times,
Speaker 2 Harry Evans.
Speaker 2 Many would have thought that he was also associated with the British establishment.
Speaker 1 Let's put it that way.
Speaker 2 And having gone to school over there, I can tell you that the difference between British intelligence and British high society is not a difference.
Speaker 1 It's not a difference.
Speaker 1 Welcome to the party, Walter and Matt.
Speaker 1 I love that they're looking at this seeing it this way.
Speaker 1 Which is a good way to look at it.
Speaker 1 Yeah, it's a better way of looking at it than the standard fare right now, especially if you listen to all these two-bit analysts, is the
Speaker 1 this is Islamists plus communists
Speaker 1 are getting together.
Speaker 1 It's the old communist regime from Russia, from the Soviet Union, the same communists are teaming up with the Islamists from the ISIS.
Speaker 1 You haven't seen this? Yes, of course.
Speaker 1 Of course I have. And it's like
Speaker 1
it makes zero sense. Well, here's part two of the email from the anonymous official No Agenda lobbyist.
Quick note on Texas. You're spot on with the Muslim talk trying to get out the GOP vote.
Speaker 1 Abbott is running for governor again, announced on November 9th, and his campaign is pulling no punches. How do I know? I talked to the two men running his campaign.
Speaker 1 As they are working with me and some of the members I represent in Texas to do political events touting Texas manufacturing, is the propaganda directly connected to the campaign?
Speaker 1 Probably not, but that doesn't mean conversations never happened.
Speaker 1 So this is exactly why Abbott, the minute this thing started to peak a little bit with 48 new mosques in Texas in 24 months,
Speaker 1 why he comes out with a proclamation,
Speaker 1
I'm Gregory Abbott. I'm here to protect you from these terrorist organizations.
Have no worry. I'll take care of you.
Speaker 1 And
Speaker 1 after we discussed this, that this is clearly an op,
Speaker 1 I got the typical responses like, with all due respect.
Speaker 1
I usually agree with you. With all due respect, your stance is wrong regarding the dangers of Islam.
By the way, I don't think I'd said anything about the dangers of Islam, only that this hysteria.
Speaker 1 No, all you said
Speaker 1
is that this is bullcrap, what they're talking about, and whether there's dangers with Islam. I had a good note from somebody.
I don't know if I printed it out or not. If I do, I'll read it.
Speaker 1
From one of our guys, and he, a Muslim. Oh, I got his note.
Oh, yeah.
Speaker 1 That note I'm talking about.
Speaker 1 And because he's for some reason, I have no idea why this guy wants to be so anonymous, although
Speaker 1 he's very spooky in the way he's.
Speaker 1 Well, shall I read the key pieces from his note yes please do so uh first of all he did indeed call he said i called it i told you care would be next the next phase is against political islam and their most refined approach in the brotherhood um
Speaker 1 the brotherhood is a very adept group again we know the brotherhood was invented by the british we've called the muslim brotherhood the muslim brotherhood yeah he just calls it the brotherhood yeah well that could be christians uh they didn't plan a mass migration to europe but they simply simply hijacked and tried to group all the migrants from Muslim countries under their own ideology.
Speaker 1 Brotherhood-oriented figures were instrumental in driving Obama and Hillary's rubbilizations in the early 2010s through the techno-experts and ops.
Speaker 1 But there is an op in place which could be triggered by multiple parties. I don't want to point to a specific group here, but there are numerous interests at play.
Speaker 1 By the way, this line right here tells me that he's in some kind of intelligence.
Speaker 1
Part one, the insanity of the Democrats brought Christians and Muslims together against woke ideology. There's a group that does not like this.
That's an interesting one. Hadn't thought about that.
Speaker 1 Right-wing groups are alarmed by how Europe became and this needs to be controlled. There's your Texas meme.
Speaker 1
Religiously moderate countries like the UAE and Saudi Arabia are launching against the Brotherhood. They consider the movement their arch enemy.
Of course, we just made big friends with Saudi Arabia.
Speaker 1 Zionist groups are trying to reset public opinion and the gays for Gaza mentality among liberals in the West. You see, it really behooves a lot of people, this kind of op.
Speaker 1 He says he personally thinks a lot of Muslims cannot assimilate into modern societies. They can't even assimilate into Arab modern societies.
Speaker 1 The nature of open migration that brings the most economically challenged who are preached by the most extreme wings of Islam are to blame.
Speaker 1
This is exactly what happened in Afghanistan. We have a group of super hardline Salafis gaining full control over a very basic society that is economically driven into the ground.
So the reason why.
Speaker 1
We haven't talked about the Salafists for a long time. No, we haven't.
They're also called the Wahhabi sect. Yeah.
Speaker 1 So
Speaker 1 the United States no longer has an open border. The Muslim population is, what, 1.2% of all of America? 1.3%.
Speaker 1 Expected to double by 20, 30 or to 2.7%.
Speaker 1 A small search just in the
Speaker 1 Houston, Dallas area.
Speaker 1 Number of churches in Dallas, 2,442.
Speaker 1 So that against your so-called.
Speaker 1 How many churches in Dallas alone? 2,442.
Speaker 1 In Harris County, 3,414.
Speaker 1 I mean, there are, I mean, there's a lot of,
Speaker 1
we are a Christian nation. We're not like Europe who are nothing, who gave up everything.
Their churches are now WeWork office stations and
Speaker 1 Airbnbs.
Speaker 1 So, anyway, with all due respect, your stance is wrong regarding the dangers of Islam. Replacement is like slowly creeping socialism has been.
Speaker 1 This is from the same note. Yeah, this is from the one I started originally.
Speaker 1 This is not from our guys. No, no, no, no, you're not from the,
Speaker 1
you didn't make that. Well, you interrupted me and I went straight to the notes.
You still make it clear you can't blame me. I'm not blaming you.
Speaker 1
I'm just telling you factually happened in the flow of the show. I'll start over.
With all due respect, your stance is wrong regarding the dangers of Islam.
Speaker 1 Replacement is like slowly creeping socialism has been, but the punchline will be brutal when you're hit with the convert or lose your head. It's not a fairy tale.
Speaker 1 We're talking again about 1.3% of the population. The jihad is not an invention of Islamophobia.
Speaker 1 So, first of all, if you really want to talk about Texas,
Speaker 1
15 years ago, we were talking about Fatula Gulen's Harmony charter schools. One of our producers.
I forgot all about that. Oh, yeah.
Speaker 1 One of our producers, Sir Mark,
Speaker 1 he made a movie about it. Yeah, which I went to see.
Speaker 1 Yes, and there's, I think, 300 of these schools. Boy, have they radicalized everybody? They may have gotten a a crap education, but it hasn't worked.
Speaker 1 So, and we've been paying attention to this for a long time. And if you send me videos of Ayanhir Shi'ali, who I know personally, you know,
Speaker 1
you're not making a good argument. This is, we are not Europe.
There's a whole bunch of reasons why this is not going to happen. Now,
Speaker 1
I also love the emails like, you should get out of Fredericksburg more often. You see what's going on.
He gets out of Fredericksburg a lot.
Speaker 1
I do. And there's also not.
You get out of Fredericksburg more than you'd expect. There's also nothing.
But you get out of Fredericksburg more than most locals in Fredericksburg do, for sure.
Speaker 1
So check the spooks. Thankfully, one, two, three, four, five producers live in or around Dearborn, Michigan.
Because this is what is continuously touted as the hotbed. This is where it's happening.
Speaker 1
This is so bad. It's just the worst.
It's like it's run by Islamists. Yeah.
So first we get a Zetter, Jen Zetter.
Speaker 1 I'm 29 union electrician, actually working for GE Verona on a steam power plant, which is cool. When I was a kid in Dearborn, as well as
Speaker 1 Ham Tramp, Tramp?
Speaker 1
I don't know that place. It was pretty much all Polish people.
That is not the case anymore.
Speaker 1
I still work in Dearborn for Ford Motor Company quite a bit. Calls to prayer are a thing, but not daily.
Downtown Dearborn is definitely filled with women in hijabs, which to me isn't a big deal.
Speaker 1 The biggest problem with the Muslim situation, by the way, every single one of these emails tells me that most of the Arabs living in Dearborn are Christians.
Speaker 1 So they may look like they're Muslims, but most of them are Christians, the majority.
Speaker 1 If you recall when 9-11 happened, you and I remember, the Arabs in Dearborn were putting bumper stickers saying, I'm a Christian, I'm not a Muslim. You remember that? Mainly.
Speaker 1 The biggest biggest problem with the Muslim situation in Dearborn is they are terrible drivers.
Speaker 1
Driving through downtown Dearborn is like driving through Baghdad. People constantly stopping in the middle of the street and parking on the sidewalk.
Okay.
Speaker 1
They're terrible drivers in the Middle East. They are.
In fact, somebody once pointed out that
Speaker 1 they're always slamming their hands against the side of their cars to make noise.
Speaker 1 And honking.
Speaker 1
They like honking a lot. Yes.
Like honking a lot.
Speaker 1
Let's see. We got Brad.
We have, here's a Dearborn Zoomer.
Speaker 1 I was just driving through Dearborn yesterday.
Speaker 1 The thing is that a lot of people probably miss is there's a massive population of Arabic Christians, mainly Chaldean and Lebanese, that live in the area.
Speaker 1 They've been here since at least the 60s, and the Chaldeans own a ton of property in Detroit and surrounding areas.
Speaker 1 You know, so
Speaker 1 this is
Speaker 1 when you see a brown person on Instagram reels, don't immediately think that Dearborn has been taken over.
Speaker 1 It's just not true. Well, it has been taken over by one thing, from what I understand from the people I know that go in and out of there.
Speaker 1
Good food. Very good food.
Yes. Yeah.
Yeah.
Speaker 1
So I put all these notes in the show notes. Sir, Dweezel of Dearborn is in there.
Joshua, let me see what Joshua says. I've been listening to your show for years.
Speaker 1 I live outside of Dearborn, drive through it most days. I used to live in West Dearborn.
Speaker 1 Everybody else say when I was growing up, when he was growing up, it's the largest Muslim population outside of the Middle East. We used to call East Dearborn Little Lebanon.
Speaker 1
I'm a mid-30s Christian white guy. All the propaganda I see is heavy and bull crap.
I used to love living near Muslims, and I've done a lot of business with Muslim men. They're terrific neighbors.
Speaker 1
They are very close to Christian values. Even the women come here and assimilate into American values.
I see more cases when the women go out without a hijab.
Speaker 1
They keep their religion, but no one wants to have Sharia law here. Also, I've never heard prayer chant over the speakers.
I've asked friends recently, they've never heard that either.
Speaker 1 I've never even heard them during Ramadan when I lived in Dearborn. Although a lot of people in these notes did complain about church bells,
Speaker 1 they find the church bells quite annoying. So, all this is to say, this is an op.
Speaker 1 And it's, it's, as always, it's politically motivated.
Speaker 1 And where I first kind of thought that people wanted, and it still could be that this whole epic and Muslims and the mosques 48 whoo 48 mosques and thousands of churches that it was against Abbott now I'm feeling oh he he he had this hyped up a little bit so he could be mr.
Speaker 1 Savior come in and say there's never going to be an epic center or meadow whatever you want to call it they won't be allowed to buy land I'm your governor I'm the guy you want to vote for Seems pretty plausible to me.
Speaker 1
I think it's the only explanation. Yes.
So now, now
Speaker 1 and abbott is not you know any sort i mean he don't forget during covet he's the one that took off and took a vacation in mexico and he had us locked down for a bit no that was uh cruz cruz took the mexican vacation oh i thought abbott took off too no but you sure yeah abbott locked us up i know cruz did but i thought abbott also did i don't remember but um
Speaker 1 abbot abbot locked us up People haven't forgotten that.
Speaker 1 So this brings us to.
Speaker 1
Who's going to run against Abbott? Abbott scoring two. I don't think he needs all this extra leverage.
Well, does he think there's a Democrat on the horizon that's going to beat him?
Speaker 1
No, I would say another Republican, probably. I don't know.
I will ask
Speaker 1
the lobbyists the leverage. That's the lobbyist.
Who's the competition? Yes, it would be a Republican, not a Democrat. Abbott wants to keep his power.
Speaker 1 So then the other big news, speaking of Muslims,
Speaker 1 I'm not from Texas, and so I don't have, I'm not governed by Abbott, but overall, except for his lockdown and some of his crappy policies, the way he handled the immigration thing by busting people out of the state, I thought was genius.
Speaker 1 So the guy's creative. He was a showboater, and he went down there to Eagle Pass and did
Speaker 1 his
Speaker 1
conference while they were walking across the border, right through the open fence a mile away. He's a showboater.
He's full of crap.
Speaker 1 And people don't really respect him.
Speaker 1 You know, he jumped on board once Trump gave him backing. And then, yeah, okay.
Speaker 1 But get rid of him then.
Speaker 1 I got to find out if there's someone better. I don't know.
Speaker 1
But give us Marjorie Taylor Greene. That would be funny.
So did you get anything on the mom Donnie visits to the White House? I do have a couple clips, I think.
Speaker 1 Okay, because I got a couple, and I'll wait for you to go first. Well, I have now that she's...
Speaker 1 put it. I have to admit, you were
Speaker 1 I'd hate to be steamrolling you.
Speaker 1 We normally do that, but
Speaker 1 this is why I'm taking you to the Trump
Speaker 1 Mom Donnie meeting. This is a good overview from NTD.
Speaker 8 President Trump, welcoming New York City's mayor-elect, self-described Democratic socialist Zoro Momdani to the White House today.
Speaker 8 This, as the House, passes a resolution condemning what it calls the horrors of socialism. The horse vote taking place shortly after
Speaker 8 the house passes a resolution condemning what it calls the horrors of socialism the vote taking place shortly after momdani mamdani is definitely a whore of socialism if that's what you're calling as the house passes a resolution condemning what it calls the horrors of socialism the vote taking place shortly after momdani touched down at the airport ahead of his afternoon sit-down with the president we now go live to entity's washington correspondent mariotsu who's standing by at the white house good evening mari what came of the meeting today and were they able to find any common ground?
Speaker 9 Tiff, good evening. Sure, they actually were.
Speaker 9 And President Trump and incoming New York City Mayor Zomran Momdani seem to put aside a lot of their differences today, saying that they look forward to working together after months of publicly criticizing each other.
Speaker 9 President Trump says that they had a, quote, great, productive meeting and that they have one thing in common. They both want the city that they love to do well.
Speaker 9 The president began the meeting congratulating Momdani on his election win, saying that the better that he does, the happier he will be, and vows to help make a safe and strong New York.
Speaker 9 Momdani and President Trump are from very opposed philosophies.
Speaker 9 Momdani is a self-described democratic socialist who the president has frequently referred to as a communist, which is a label that Momdani has rejected.
Speaker 9 Momdani's campaign promises include free public buses, universal child care, city-run grocery stores, and increasing the minimum wage to $30 by 2030.
Speaker 9 President Trump, a native New Yorker, has called those policies crazy in the past, but today he says that some of Mom Dani's ideas are really the same as his. Take a look.
Speaker 10
We had a meeting today that actually surprised me. He wants to see no crime.
He wants to see housing being built. He wants to see rents coming down, all things that I agree with.
Speaker 10
Now, we may disagree how we get there. I expect to be helping him, not hurting him.
A big help, because I want New York City to be great.
Speaker 1 Look, I love New York City.
Speaker 10
It's where I come from. Ultimately, it's for the good of New York.
If this city could be be unbelievable, if he could be a spectacular success, I'd be very happy.
Speaker 1 I feel bad for people who don't trust Trump, you know, and like,
Speaker 1 this guy's just an op.
Speaker 1 He's part of the neocon.
Speaker 1 You are witnessing some of the funniest political stuff
Speaker 1 in our entire lives.
Speaker 1
Yeah, you'll never have another president like this. Ever.
Ever. And it's befuddling people.
And I love it. Like, here's Martha Radditz.
That was a remarkable scene.
Speaker 1 I don't think I've ever seen President Trump
Speaker 1 treat a Democrat so kindly in public. What was that about?
Speaker 13
It's a very good question. I think none of us really knew how this was going to play out.
And then it turned into this complete love fest.
Speaker 13 I mean, it really wasn't that long ago that they were hurling insults at each other, right?
Speaker 13 I mean, Trump labeling Mondani a communist, Mondani calling Trump a fascist, and yet on Friday, all of that, that, I think to much of our surprise, was water under the bridge.
Speaker 13 I thought it was very interesting that Trump clearly knows that Mondani's message of affordability is gaining traction.
Speaker 13 At some point, it seemed like they were trying to out-affordability each other as both parties try to claim that mantle.
Speaker 13 And very strategic of the mayor-elect to come in and remind the president that some of his supporters had backed him.
Speaker 13 Trump then saying, you know, he thinks even some conservatives will be surprised by Mondani. I'm curious to see where concretely they work together and just how long this budding bromance will last.
Speaker 1 Bromance. You know, I don't know about you.
Speaker 1 Let me ask you a question.
Speaker 1 Did you expect anything other than what happened? It seems so
Speaker 1 obvious to me that once Monday
Speaker 1 asked for the meeting, that this is exactly what was going to happen.
Speaker 1 They're both populists, and they're, you know, they're just from two sides of the political spectrum, but they're both the same basically.
Speaker 1 And they both use the same techniques as I mentioned in my Substack column, Dvorak.substack.com. Go check it out.
Speaker 1 It was when this happened, it was just like,
Speaker 1 and they're both sales guys. I mean, Mondoni, not as professional as Trump, but they're, you know, gladhanders.
Speaker 1 And what else was going to happen?
Speaker 1 Well, but we've been observing the Trump algorithm for 10 years.
Speaker 1 And it's like, yeah,
Speaker 1
you you could almost predict it. It was so, and, and, but he took it to a level that was just so beautiful.
I think he had shills in the press corps to ask certain questions.
Speaker 1 And I finally, I think I, and this, this ABC clip, I think, has better audio about the fascist comments and all that.
Speaker 1 But he's sitting down, has Mom Dani standing, total power move, patting him on the on the elbow, you know, don't worry about it. Yeah, they're
Speaker 1 giving a lot of mom touching going on.
Speaker 1 Hey, you two, get a room. Mom Dani,
Speaker 1
clearly not as experienced. How could you be? Just doesn't have the years.
Very impressed with him, though. I thought he handled it well.
But this was a win for the president.
Speaker 1 I mean, if New York does well, Trump says, well, it's because I helped Momdani.
Speaker 1
And if New York doesn't do well, Trump says, well, I helped. You know, he screwed it up.
I did what I could. I did what I could.
Yeah, here's ABC out of New York.
Speaker 14 It was the surreal love fest no one saw coming with President Trump in the Oval Office at every turn, showering mayor-elect Zoran Mamdani with praise.
Speaker 15 Do you think you're standing next to a jihadist right now in the Oval Office?
Speaker 16 No, I don't.
Speaker 10 I met with a man who's a very rational person.
Speaker 14 The president even repeatedly throwing.
Speaker 1 Do you know who that journalist is? Because she asked
Speaker 1 all those hot button questions. I did not recognize her.
Speaker 1
Blonde. She's blonde.
Oh, that little that. Yes, I've seen her before.
When I saw her, because she asked the question about the fascism.
Speaker 1
And I've been trying to think, I know who it is. I just can't.
And her voice doesn't trigger it. I can't tell you, but I've seen her a lot.
Well, she's a big shot on ABC. Oh, yeah.
Speaker 1 Well, she's a shill.
Speaker 1
That could be. I think she was shilled in.
But
Speaker 1 I'm actually of the opinion she's not a shill. No, let's listen.
Speaker 7 With praise.
Speaker 15 Do you think you're standing next to a jihadist right now in the Oval Office?
Speaker 16 No, I don't.
Speaker 10 I met with a man who's a very rational person.
Speaker 14 The president, even repeatedly throwing Mom Donnie a lifeline.
Speaker 4 Are you affirming that you think President Trump is a fascist?
Speaker 17 I've spoken about that's okay.
Speaker 16 You can just say
Speaker 12 okay. It's easier.
Speaker 12 It's easier than explaining it.
Speaker 1 That was just
Speaker 1
fantastic. Just that.
Yeah, because he, for one thing, Mom Dani is one of the best obfuscators we've seen for a long time. In other words,
Speaker 1
everything, you can ask him anything, he's going to say, I don't care about that. I care about the citizens of New York.
I don't care about that. I want to help New York be
Speaker 1
prices to go down in New York. I don't care about that.
New York is what I'm thinking about. So that's his basic, you know, his basic shield to any question.
Speaker 1
And he was about to go into that, but then it would have blown the joke. And so Trump jumped in there with his go ahead, say yes.
He says,
Speaker 1 it's easier if you don't have to explain it to him. In other words, he basically said,
Speaker 1 we both know what we're doing here.
Speaker 1
We knew this is theater. I call you a jihadist, you call me a fascist.
Just say yes. It's easier.
That
Speaker 1 just,
Speaker 1
I mean, that was a rug pool. I loved it.
I thought that was fascinating.
Speaker 4 Affirming that you think President Trump is a fascist?
Speaker 17 I've spoken about.
Speaker 16 That's okay. You can just say yes.
Speaker 12 Okay.
Speaker 12 It's easier.
Speaker 12 It's easier than explaining it.
Speaker 4 Why did you fly here, Aren't Trans Greener?
Speaker 1 Now, that was a shill question.
Speaker 1 Why didn't you fly here?
Speaker 1 I mean, come on. Is that ABC? Is that the new ABC who's asking that? Well, it's not a new ABC.
Speaker 1 The new thing is CBS.
Speaker 1 But that's what I'm saying. It's like, since when did ABC start to make jokes
Speaker 1 to the Democrats about climate change?
Speaker 1 I don't know. Well, you know, I'm not going to dismiss
Speaker 1 your thoughts on this completely, though I just don't see her being a shill.
Speaker 17 okay well anyway uh you may not be able to hear it but trump says it's too long to take the train why did you fly here aren't trains greener that's a very long drive i'll stick up for you do you see democrat policy specifically as being a problem we have uh some interesting conversation and some of his ideas really have the same ideas that i have and mom danny repeatedly returning the favor when i spoke to New Yorkers who had voted for the president, when we asked those New Yorkers who had voted for the president, there were more New Yorkers who voted for President Trump in the most recent presidential election because of that focus on cost of living.
Speaker 1 There are many things in our city where we have. I mean, wow, wow, he's just
Speaker 1 big upping the president there. What is happening here?
Speaker 17 The most recent presidential election, because of that focus on cost of living, there are many things in our city.
Speaker 1 Is Mom Dani a double agent?
Speaker 1 Could that be possible?
Speaker 17 Our city where we have to own the responsibility of it, things that existed long before the the president was the president.
Speaker 14 Political experts say Mom Dani right now is the avatar for affordability in a position where it can provide the president some credibility on the issue.
Speaker 14 But now Mom Dani, once thought to be a liability for House Democrats across the country, may have become their greatest strength.
Speaker 7 The president was also asked if he would, quote, allow Mom Dani to make NYPD personnel decisions.
Speaker 14 The president responded, that would be up to the mayor-elect. He was also asked if he would feel comfortable living in New York again.
Speaker 1 He said, absolutely, adding, we agree on a lot more than I would have thought.
Speaker 1 So
Speaker 1 this is properly quoted.
Speaker 1 I have to discuss the analysis
Speaker 1 from the right,
Speaker 1 which is kind of rosy, which claims that Trump used this moment to
Speaker 1 elevate Mom Donnie.
Speaker 1 No. No, he did not.
Speaker 1 To elevate Mom Donnie.
Speaker 1 So the exact scheme that I discussed in that column I wrote, which is to turn the Democrats toward the Bernie Sanders side of the party and make them all think that socialism is the way to go nationwide when it will just kill them in any presidential election.
Speaker 1 Because it's a singular situation in New York.
Speaker 1 And
Speaker 1 there's a couple of other places which would vote like this.
Speaker 1 You know, they think they know it all. And
Speaker 1 also, there's Mom Dony.
Speaker 1 I'm sorry, I'm always going to have trouble to get his name out smoothly. Mom Donnie is going to have difficulty when he gets back to New York by the naysayers there.
Speaker 1 Why did you meet with Trump and the DSAs in particular? Why did you meet with Trump? You shouldn't have met with Trump. Why are you meeting with Trump? He's the enemy, blah, blah, blah.
Speaker 1 Do you not think the DSA approved it and set him up for it and gave him the talking points and they just never thought that Trump would do this.
Speaker 1 No,
Speaker 1 you think these are the same. I don't think Mom Dani's run by anybody,
Speaker 1 right?
Speaker 1 Once he got in,
Speaker 1
I think he's full of himself. I think he's really convinced he doesn't need their help.
Kind of like a Gavin Newsom type deal. Newsome's the same way.
He's not run by anybody right now.
Speaker 1 Smoking dope, I'm sure he's
Speaker 1 smoking his own dope. Is that what you think? Yeah.
Speaker 1 Well, Momdani was on.
Speaker 1 He doesn't seem like the kind of guy who's, I mean, he's not an idiot. No.
Speaker 1 You don't need to be much more than above an idiot to be a politician.
Speaker 1 It's like show business for ugly. No, but it's useful.
Speaker 1 It is useful. So Mamdani was on with Manhand's Welker this morning on NBC Meet the Press.
Speaker 1 So this is hot breaking, breaking right off, hot off the press, breaking news.
Speaker 20 Were you surprised by the warm welcome that you got?
Speaker 17 You know, I was looking forward to having the meeting with the president to speak about the needs of the eight and a half million people who call the
Speaker 11 same city we love home.
Speaker 1
Yep, yep, that's she, you're so right. It's exactly all he talks about.
It's beautiful. Yeah, it's pretty good.
Speaker 17 To speak about the needs of the eight and a half million people who call the same city we love home and to speak frankly about the affordability crisis that is pushing so many of them out of those five boroughs.
Speaker 17 And I found in the meeting that I had with the president a productive one and a meeting that came back again and again to the central themes of the campaign that we ran: the cost of housing, cost of child care, the cost of groceries, the cost of utilities.
Speaker 17 And it showed that this is an opportunity to now start to deliver so that people can do more than just aspire to struggle in New York City, but actually to be able to live there.
Speaker 20 But did you expect it to be so chummy? What was going through your head when you were talking about it? Take two.
Speaker 1 Come on, Kristen. You can do it.
Speaker 20 You were standing there.
Speaker 17 You know, I thought again and again about what it would mean for New Yorkers if we could establish that.
Speaker 1 Perfect. I'm just thinking about New Yorkers, people.
Speaker 17 Relationship that would focus on the issues that those New Yorkers stay up late at night thinking about.
Speaker 17 Because so often in our politics, we try and tell people what they should be worried about, what they should be concerned about.
Speaker 17 But when you actually ask New Yorkers and you listen to them, you hear it come back to the issues that animated not just the conversation the president and I had with the press after our meeting, but frankly, in the meeting itself.
Speaker 17 It was a conversation where we spoke about the need to deliver on this agenda. And I appreciated that when the president, when we had that meeting, it wasn't just in the Oval Office.
Speaker 17 He also took me into the cabinet room, and there we were looking at portraits of presidents of years gone by, and we admired a portrait of FDR.
Speaker 17 And in many ways, when I think about the candidacy that we've put forward, it looks to Fiorella LaGuardia as the greatest mayor in New York City history.
Speaker 17 You can't tell the story of LaGuardia without telling the story of FDR and the story of a relationship with the federal government that finally delivered at the scale of the crisis it was facing.
Speaker 1 Now, you would be uniquely positioned to explain the relevance of the FDR painting they took the picture in front of.
Speaker 1 I don't know what specifically you're asking me to do here. Well, tell us about FDR.
Speaker 1 Well, FDR was, yeah, FDR was a socialist
Speaker 1 or a populist in some ways, if you think about it. In fact, that's the reason I think he got re-elected so many times because he was actually a populist, but he put in
Speaker 1
a socialist agenda or a left-wing agenda. But he was a populist just like Trump.
And LaGuardia is like the same kind of analog of this mom domini guy.
Speaker 1 He's trying to put it together that this is the same relationship. And Trump, by the way, picked up on this and
Speaker 1 Doug is now being equated with FDR. Yes.
Speaker 1 And that got picked up by all the rights.
Speaker 1 Everybody picked that up. Everybody picked up on the Trump FDR connection.
Speaker 1 And so this whole thing is, I mean, this Mom Donnie guy is terrific
Speaker 1 as a subtle propagandist. I don't know where he got these skills.
Speaker 1 I think he was probably discovered just by the DSA guy, by the same people that found the guy with the tattoo
Speaker 1 and AOC.
Speaker 1 Yeah.
Speaker 1 And he's an actor.
Speaker 1
He said it, I think, in one of the clips we had. Theater kid.
He was a theater kid. He was a theater kid in the eighth grade.
He was bitching about something
Speaker 1 in one of the clips we had some months back about some play he was in when he was a kid.
Speaker 1 Yeah, he's a theater kid. So he's a phony.
Speaker 1 But
Speaker 1 in the greater scheme of things,
Speaker 1 this is fantastic for Trump.
Speaker 1 I think he really handled this.
Speaker 1 The FDR painting, apparently, he had it pulled out of the archives.
Speaker 1
Hey, hang that thing up there. Mamdoni's coming.
I got an idea.
Speaker 1 Yeah, I wonder if you showed him the autopen picture. You know, he's got
Speaker 1 that wall of presidents goes right to Biden and Biden's
Speaker 1 picture is a picture of the autopen.
Speaker 1 So when it came to affordability, which is really the whole point that the president is trying to gain some ground on here, because that's what Mom Dani won on, ran on and won on, affordability, affordability.
Speaker 1 He finabled it so that it wasn't about freezing rents and screwing owners of apartment buildings and homes. No,
Speaker 1 it was quite the opposite. It was a complete Trumpian love fest on how we're going to make housing more affordable.
Speaker 10 We had a meeting to build more.
Speaker 1 I'm sorry. Yeah, Build More.
Speaker 1 Build more. Yes, Build More.
Speaker 1
Yes. Do I need to play the clip? Since yours.
I'm sorry,
Speaker 1 I just wanted to get Build More in there because that's true. Build more.
Speaker 10
We had a meeting today that actually surprised me. He wants to see no crime.
He wants to see housing being built. He wants to see rents coming down.
All things that I agree with.
Speaker 10 Now, we may disagree how we get there.
Speaker 1 The rent coming down, I think
Speaker 1 one of the things I really gleaned
Speaker 10
very much today, he'd like to see him come down, ideally, by building a lot of additional housing. That's the ultimate way.
He agrees with that, and so do I.
Speaker 1 But if I read the newspapers and the stories,
Speaker 10 I don't hear that.
Speaker 1 See what he's doing here? I mean, you agree with that, don't you, Zoran?
Speaker 1
Zoran, Zorha, you agree with that. But I read the newspapers, I don't read any of that, so I'm telling you now, it's Bill Moore.
But I heard him say it today, and I think it's
Speaker 10 been a very positive step. No, I don't expect, I expect to be helping him, not hurting him.
Speaker 1 A big help.
Speaker 10 Because I want New York City to be great.
Speaker 1 Look, I love New York City.
Speaker 10
It's where I come from. I spent a lot of years there.
Now I'm right here.
Speaker 10
We took a big setback with a mayor that we had, Dave de Blasio. I thought it was a tremendous setback for the city.
I think this mayor can do some things that are going to be really great.
Speaker 1
Perfect. Bill, I heard him say it.
He didn't say it. Of course he didn't say it.
But I heard him say it.
Speaker 1
Trump is eyeballing Queens and Brooklyn, but Queens in particular, because there's a limit on height. There's a height limitation.
The whole city
Speaker 1 or the whole borough, you can't build a bunch of skyscrapers like you can in Manhattan, which is like where you don't want to build anymore in Manhattan. I mean, there's only a few places.
Speaker 1
Maybe that Mom Donnie guy can get that restriction removed. That's the idea.
They're going to get the restriction removed on the buildings, and they're going to build up.
Speaker 1 They're going to build up into the air Queens to make it a mini mini Manhattan, and that's money in the bank.
Speaker 1 Here's everybody. Lots of jobs, cheaper housing.
Speaker 1 It'll lessen the stress on the housing market there.
Speaker 1 It's a huge winner, and they both know it. I think that's what they talked about.
Speaker 1 Back to Manhands Welker.
Speaker 1 Final clip.
Speaker 20 In that press conference with President Trump, a reporter asked you whether you believe that President Trump is, in fact, a fascist, a word that you've used in the past. You were about to answer.
Speaker 20 Then President Trump sort of jumped in and he said, quote, that's okay.
Speaker 22 You can just say yes.
Speaker 20
It's easier than explaining it. So Mr.
Mayor-elect, just to be very clear, do you think that President Trump is a fascist?
Speaker 1 How do you think he answered?
Speaker 1
He's got to go back to his New York fallback. No, I don't think so.
No, no.
Speaker 1 It's worse. He should have done that.
Speaker 20 Do you think that President Trump is a fascist?
Speaker 17 And after President Trump said that, I said yes.
Speaker 1 After Trump told you to say yes.
Speaker 17
So you do. And that's something that I've said in the past.
I say it today.
Speaker 17 And I think what I appreciated about the conversation that I had with the President was that we were not shy about the places of disagreement about the politics that has brought us to this moment.
Speaker 17 And we also wanted to focus on what it could look like to deliver on a shared analysis of an affordability crisis for New Yorkers.
Speaker 20
You've also said in the past that President Trump has engaged in a, quote, attack on our democracy. You've called him a despot.
Do you still believe President Trump is a threat to the democracy?
Speaker 17 Everything that I've said in the past, I continue to believe, and that's the thing that I think is important in our politics, is that we don't shy away from where we have disagreements.
Speaker 1
This is a slick answer, by the way. Everything I've said in the past, like, he's not going to say yes.
He says, everything I said in the past, I still believe today.
Speaker 17 Everything that I've said in the past, I continue to believe, and that's the thing that I think is important in our politics, is that we don't shy away from where we have disagreements, but we understand what it is that brings us to that table.
Speaker 17
Because I'm not coming into the Oval Office to make a point or make a stand. I'm coming in there to deliver for New Yorkers.
A few weeks ago, I was asked by a reporter three words to describe myself.
Speaker 17
I said, New York City. And that's what animated that conversation.
How do we deliver for the people of New York City?
Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 This is a good game.
Speaker 1 It was good.
Speaker 1 I was very
Speaker 1 delighted with this, with what happened. It was fun to watch.
Speaker 1 I have a bunch of clips that kind of follow up on this on socialism BS. All right.
Speaker 1 Because this was a series of, this was, I don't know why this commentary came up. I think, well, why did it come up? Because we were talking about socialism and not now more than we used to.
Speaker 1 And this is from NTD, which, of course, is a
Speaker 1 right-wing operation for all practical purposes that I still think do some of the best news coverage in the world.
Speaker 1 But let's play these clips because
Speaker 1 I have the letters BS written here because there's some very interesting BS.
Speaker 8 Just ahead of a White House visit by New York City Mayor-elect and self-described Democratic socialist Zoro Mamdani, the House of Representatives passed a resolution denouncing socialism.
Speaker 1 What? They had a resolution denouncing socialism?
Speaker 1 Yes, I have a clip.
Speaker 1 We want to hear about that first. That's what we're paying them to do.
Speaker 1 I resolve.
Speaker 1 This is the here.
Speaker 1
I have that. We can do an aside play.
I can do an aside, sure. And I got to find it on here.
It's the
Speaker 1 G2. I got some funny clips today.
Speaker 1 There is a long, maybe it's in the socialism series.
Speaker 1 Well, they don't seem very long.
Speaker 1
The next one seems even shorter than this one. Yeah, this next one's the shortest one because it's got a point they try to make.
There was, I thought I had it on here.
Speaker 1 They had, yes,
Speaker 1 they had a big meeting.
Speaker 1 Huh.
Speaker 1 Yes,
Speaker 1 the House went and made an anti-socialist statement
Speaker 1 just before the meeting. This is a complete waste of the
Speaker 1
waste of time and money. Yeah.
Well, let's play these clips first. Okay.
Speaker 1 All right, here we go.
Speaker 8 Pass a resolution denouncing socialism. NTD's Washington correspondent, Jack Bradley, has the details.
Speaker 1 What do socialists stand for?
Speaker 25 Tax raising, job-killing policies like defunding the police, shuttering prisons, massive unfunded spending increases, and even government-run grocery stores.
Speaker 1
Oh, so it wasn't just a resolution. They talked about it.
They had a whole debate about it? Yeah.
Speaker 1 So now I go to
Speaker 1 socialism BS2.
Speaker 1 Yeah, well, first I have to comment on what this guy just said.
Speaker 1 Socialism,
Speaker 1
and anyone can go look up the definition. You can do it right now.
It's not about defunding the police. It's not about, in fact, just the opposite.
Speaker 1
No, you want to have the police to crack down on the citizens. It's not about releasing, closing prisons and letting one out.
They're letting everyone out. It's putting people in prison.
Speaker 1 It's just the opposite.
Speaker 1 So, what are they talking about here?
Speaker 1 That's good.
Speaker 1 Socialism is,
Speaker 1
it's bull crap. That's the point.
What they did is they just did a resolution. We think Democrats suck.
Speaker 1 They should just proclaim that.
Speaker 1
Yeah, that would have been better. All right.
BS2?
Speaker 1 Yeah.
Speaker 26 The House of Representatives passed a resolution on Friday denouncing socialism in all of its forms and the implementation of socialist policies in the U.S.
Speaker 26 It was passed by a vote of 285 to 98 with two voting present.
Speaker 1 Okay.
Speaker 1 So they got a big vote. So everybody voted, oh, we hate socialism.
Speaker 1 You know, this is like to spend more time actually doing real work here in Congress. But okay,
Speaker 1 we hate socialism. They made a point of view.
Speaker 1
Let me look it up here. Let me look it up.
Let me see. Oh,
Speaker 1 oh, they don't have the full text yet? No, it just happened. Well, they still could release the text.
Speaker 1 It's denouncing the horrors of socialism. Yeah.
Speaker 1 The horrors. The horrors of socialism.
Speaker 1
More horrors. We're talking about a lot of horrors recently.
Where socialist ideology necessitates a concentration of power that has time and time again collapsed into communist regimes,
Speaker 1 totalitarian rule, and brutal dictatorships. Whereas socialism has repeatedly led to famine and mass.
Speaker 1 What is this? History 101?
Speaker 1 This is so dumb.
Speaker 1 Okay.
Speaker 1
Socialism BS3. The legislation opposes.
Sorry?
Speaker 1 This might be the explanation we're looking for.
Speaker 26 The legislation opposing socialism in the U.S. was introduced by Florida Congresswoman Maria Salazar, the daughter of Cuban immigrants who fled the communist regime of Fidel Castro.
Speaker 27 This has nothing to do with political parties.
Speaker 1
This is a moral vote. In other words, this has everything to do with political parties.
And I'm the spokeshole because I came from Cuba.
Speaker 23 Against an ideology.
Speaker 28 that has destroyed millions and millions of families and murdered more than 100 million lives.
Speaker 26 There were 63 co-sponsors on this bill, but they singled out Venezuela.
Speaker 1 I didn't notice that before. It murdered lives, not people? Let me hear that again.
Speaker 28 That has destroyed millions and millions of families and murdered more than 100 million lives.
Speaker 1 Your life has been murdered.
Speaker 1 I think the Democrats should put a proclamation before the House,
Speaker 1 a proclamation against capitalism.
Speaker 1 Now, just to even it out a little bit, let's do a tit for tat.
Speaker 26 There were 63 co-sponsors on this bill, but they singled out Venezuela as a once-thriving democracy that was taken over by a socialist regime.
Speaker 26 Now the country has the highest rate of inflation in the world.
Speaker 29 They destroyed the richest country in South America. They implemented these government-run supermarkets, and they have empty shelves.
Speaker 23 And the Venezuelans would make fun of the Cubans 25 years ago, saying that it was impossible for that to happen in Venezuela.
Speaker 27 They had the largest reserves of oil in the world.
Speaker 23 They were a very strong democracy.
Speaker 28 They were not an island.
Speaker 23 It's time to denounce socialism in this country, because just like it happened to the Venezuelans, it could happen to the Americans.
Speaker 26 A concurrent resolution denouncing socialism awaits in the Senate, introduced by Florida Republican Senator Rick Scott.
Speaker 1
Okay, so this is interesting. She entered this resolution in 2023.
This has just been sitting around. The exact same text.
Yeah, but now it's got 69 co-sponsors.
Speaker 1
And we threw in Venezuela. I don't think that was in the original.
Throw in some Venezuela. Oh, no, it is.
Speaker 1 The implementation of socialism in Venezuela has turned a once prosperous country into a failed state with the highest rate of inflation in the world. Whereas Thomas...
Speaker 1 President Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration of Independence, how about co-author, wrote, to take from one because it it is thought that his own industry and that of his fathers has acquired too much in order to spare the others who or whose fathers have not exercised equal industry and skill is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association, the guarantee to everyone a free exercise of his industry and the fruits acquired by it.
Speaker 1 And then we then have President James Madison, the father of the Constitution,
Speaker 1 wrote that it's not just government nor is property secured. Blah, blah, blah.
Speaker 1 What a waste. What a waste.
Speaker 1 It's just a waste.
Speaker 1
So what? It's just a resolution at the end of the day. And we've talked about this before.
It means nothing.
Speaker 1
We resolve. So what? Yeah.
In fact, isn't that what it says at the bottom, the top?
Speaker 1 Concurrent resolution.
Speaker 1 Oh,
Speaker 1 the Congress, okay, resolved, but this is the whole, this is what it's all about.
Speaker 1 Resolve by the House of Representatives that the Senate concurring, that Congress denounces socialism in all its forms and opposes the implementation of socialist policies in the United States.
Speaker 1 Okay, thanks.
Speaker 1 You oppose it. We get it.
Speaker 1 And she's the poster child.
Speaker 1 My parents came from Cuba.
Speaker 1 Okay.
Speaker 1 So, there you go.
Speaker 1 Then there was, I don't know if
Speaker 1 this probably didn't come out before you did your DH unplug, but Kevin Hassett,
Speaker 1 who was the National Economic Committee director,
Speaker 1
council director, the jobs report came out. Oh, the jobs report.
For some reason, yeah, I'm fascinated by the way they presented this because this jobs report is negative.
Speaker 1 It should be 150,000 jobs, otherwise we're losing jobs. Isn't that the number?
Speaker 1 150,000 is the turnover rate. 150,000 is the typical
Speaker 1 need for new jobs because 150,000 people a month either retired.
Speaker 1 Broadcasters die. Their lives have been killed.
Speaker 1 They die or they retire.
Speaker 1 A lot of people retire and every month this happens and you have to replace those 150,000 people to stay even.
Speaker 1 So if the numbers less than what, and people have to keep remembering, and for some reason, reason, and I don't know why, all the media,
Speaker 1
well, it's pretty good. No, it's not.
Well,
Speaker 1 here's Kevin Hassett, and he's just giddy and
Speaker 1 jiddy and smiling.
Speaker 19 The September numbers were absolutely like hit out of the park. You know, as you said,
Speaker 1
knocked it out of the park. A double is not common.
A double is very rare.
Speaker 19 But if you dig down into the details, there's actually proof in the pudding that President Trump's policies are really working.
Speaker 19 And here's what it is, that there was a big surge in construction workers.
Speaker 19 And we went back and traced it back to, if you remember, President Trump said we're going to expense new factory construction.
Speaker 19 In September, we counted 11 major companies that broke ground on new factories and hired those construction workers.
Speaker 19 And the reason why that's so positive is that those factories are going to fill up with new workers and start making stuff and so on.
Speaker 19 And so President Trump's policy of onshoring production, creating great jobs for American workers, was really, really visible in this report.
Speaker 19 And of course, it shocked experts because they've been naysayers about the president's policy all along.
Speaker 1 So Hassett is just lying. But what I think happened here is because we had a 50,000 jobs report in August, was it August or July?
Speaker 1
All of a sudden, the news media says, well, that's double. That's double what it was.
Well, that must be good.
Speaker 1 How dumb can you be?
Speaker 1 Even the podcasters know better than you.
Speaker 1 So, no, I think the news that these were no longer illegal immigrant construction workers might have been something you wanted to highlight.
Speaker 1
And the idea that there's 11 new factories broke ground, yeah, and that'll take two years. Big deal.
Well, that is that is
Speaker 1
stick it in there. We'll cut a ribbon, and there we go.
It's going to be a lot of fun. You are negative, Nelly.
Speaker 1
I think the president is bringing production back. I think he is.
I think
Speaker 1
it's a good thing. Yeah, like the Foxconn deal he did last week.
Well, no, that was bullcrap.
Speaker 1
Well, I am hopeful. Let's put it that way.
I am an optimist.
Speaker 1
I'm an optimist on this. I'm not saying it's not a good idea.
Yeah, but I'm an optimist that it'll happen.
Speaker 1
That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying.
Is it going to happen?
Speaker 1
I have a couple of clips because I got to bring something up with you. Uh-oh.
This is the G20 farce clip.
Speaker 1
The G20 that's had a big meeting in South Africa. Did any of our people actually go? Did we even send anybody? Well, they had a picture.
This is what got me triggered on this whole topic.
Speaker 1 They showed a picture of everybody there, and it said the United States and Russia, Putin can't go because South Africa will arrest him because
Speaker 1 he's been indicted by the International Criminal Court.
Speaker 1 Yes, ICC.
Speaker 1
And so he won't go. So that's great, isn't it? So just have it in South Africa.
He won't go. And Trump thinks that South Africa sucks.
So he didn't go.
Speaker 1 So they have the group photo, and I say, wait a minute, there's 20 people in the group photo.
Speaker 1 How can that be when there should be two missing? But it turns out,
Speaker 1
and I ended up doing some research. It turns out.
Perplexity. Who went to the G20? No, I used Grok.
Speaker 1 It turns out that Malaysia was given a guest pass. No.
Speaker 1
And Egypt was given a guest pass. Oh, so they made a game.
They never put up there.
Speaker 1 It was a G20 plus 2.
Speaker 1 Well, it was the G18 plus 2, is what it amounted to.
Speaker 1 But
Speaker 1 I have some questions to ask after you play this clip.
Speaker 30 The leaders of the group of 20 have adopted a declaration at this year's summit calling for the peaceful resolution of disputes and opposing the use of force to gain territory.
Speaker 30 The two-day meeting opened on Saturday in the South African city of Johannesburg under the themes of solidarity, equality, and sustainability.
Speaker 31 This G20 Leader Summit has a responsibility not to allow the integrity and the credibility of the G20 to be weakened.
Speaker 30 The leaders said in the declaration that they affirm their commitment to act in accordance with international law and the Charter of the United Nations for peaceful settlement of disputes.
Speaker 30 They also said that all states must refrain from the threat or use of force to seek to acquire territory against the territorial integrity and sovereignty of any state.
Speaker 30 The declaration comes amid armed conflict in parts of the world such as Ukraine. The question now is how to ensure its effectiveness with key figures absent from the summit.
Speaker 30 Russian President Vladimir Putin is not attending the gathering. He is the subject of an arrest warrant by the International Criminal Court over alleged war crimes.
Speaker 30
South Africa is a member of the court. U.S.
President Donald Trump is also skipping the meeting, claiming that minority white people in South Africa are being persecuted.
Speaker 1 Okay, what's your question?
Speaker 1 Okay, so the G20 is supposed to be what? The top 20
Speaker 1 economies in the world.
Speaker 1 Top 20 Gs, the OGs.
Speaker 1 So we're talking about,
Speaker 1
I'm going to give you the top 20 countries in the world. By the way, we're over twice the size of China.
Of everybody else.
Speaker 1 And if I'm not mistaken, well, I mean, we're massive compared to anyone under China. But
Speaker 1 when I was, I think, in the late 90s,
Speaker 1 they were talking about how China was going to overtake us
Speaker 1 by 2020 or whatever. Oh, yeah.
Speaker 1 No. Here's the top 20: United States, China, Germany, Japan, India, United Kingdom, France, Italy, Canada, Brazil, Russia, Spain, South Korea, Australia, Mexico, Indonesia, Netherlands,
Speaker 1 Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Switzerland. Okay.
Speaker 1 Now, when you look at the G20,
Speaker 1 there is no Switzerland.
Speaker 1 And why not?
Speaker 1 There is no Netherlands. Really?
Speaker 1 There was no representative?
Speaker 1
They're just not part of the G20. They're not part.
Well, there's no no there's no representative but here's what we have
Speaker 1 and by the way and by the way south africa is not in the top 20 list why are they not only in the g20 but why are they hosting it it's dynam the wine is dynamite
Speaker 1 and meanwhile here's the here's the here's three
Speaker 1 phonies that are in the g2 actually four if you count south africa so that shouldn't be in it the european union had two people Yeah, Ursula and who else?
Speaker 1 This character,
Speaker 1 Antonio Costa. Costa, he's...
Speaker 1 He's the president of the council. Yes.
Speaker 1 So they had two.
Speaker 1 Switzerland wasn't there.
Speaker 1 Netherlands is not included, but they have
Speaker 1
all these other guys, Canada, or not Canada, but... UK, France, Germany, they're all there.
And here's another one that shouldn't be there. The African Union.
Speaker 1
Well, the thing was, the whole thing. So this is bull crap.
This G20 is a fraud. That's why we didn't go.
And the whole thing was about climate change.
Speaker 1
I saw Ursula speaking. Oh, no, we're still staying the course.
Don't worry about it. But you're not going to get any money from us.
Speaker 1 No, I hope that we can maintain that status.
Speaker 1
No, I mean, she was even saying to South Africa. Oh, yeah, you're not getting any money.
Well,
Speaker 1
she's cheap, too. It's about climate finance.
But the point is, is that this G20 is a scam. Well, I like how they started off by saying, we resolve that we should have no more wars.
Speaker 1 Because that's basically what they said.
Speaker 1 No more wars.
Speaker 1 No more, please. Meanwhile, in the United Nations,
Speaker 32
the U.S. plan for Gaza has been approved by the U.N.
Security Council. The vote endorses U.S.
President Donald Trump's peace plan, also known as the 20-point ceasefire plan.
Speaker 32 The plan proposes the creation of a board led by Trump to oversee governance and reconstruction in Gaza. It also calls for the establishment of an international stabilization force.
Speaker 32 While the proposal outlines a potential path towards an independent Palestinian state, the language remains weak, offering neither a timeline nor any guarantees.
Speaker 32 13 out of 15 members voted in favor of the resolution. Russia, which submitted a separate proposal in Gaza last week, along with China, abstained the vote but did not use its veto power.
Speaker 32 Trump applauded the vote, calling it one of the biggest approvals in the history of the United Nations. Hamas, on the other hand, opposed the resolution.
Speaker 32 The group believes it fails to meet Palestinian people's political and humanitarian demands and that it does not safeguard their rights.
Speaker 1
So that's all taken care of. Was that AI? No, that's Euro News.
No, was that even Euro News? That was.
Speaker 1 Let me see.
Speaker 1
uh yeah, that was Europe. It's gotten so bad lately, so bad.
But meanwhile, we still have to psyop everybody in Europe. We got to get everybody all excited, all upset.
Speaker 1 And finally, it reached the homeland, the old country. Yes, we've got drones over Holland.
Speaker 33 Dutch military personnel opened fire on unmanned aerial vehicles over Vokel air base. But officials say the drones left the area and were not recovered.
Speaker 33 Stop.
Speaker 1 Wait a minute. The Dutch military.
Speaker 1 Dutch air base, yes. But there's a military, isn't it? I think it's an Air Force Base.
Speaker 1 Okay, and they opened fire and they couldn't hit the drones? Missed it completely.
Speaker 1 What kind of bonehead, what kind of training do they have? You can't hit the drone? Believe me, this is a big... It's all in Dutch, so there's nothing I could play clipwise.
Speaker 1
But apparently they had lasers. The lasers didn't get it out.
They had rifles, but they're not sure if they had anti-drone weapons. The Dutch now, they couldn't shoot
Speaker 1 a little drone flying around over their heads.
Speaker 1 And now all the Dutch, the Dutch love American words. And now the
Speaker 1 so you hear them talking like this Vakuna Di drones jammin'. Vikuna said jemmin,
Speaker 1 which is jamming. So now everyone hollands talking about, hey, Vaimkuna, we need the drones, jemma, we need the jimmer.
Speaker 1 So they didn't jam them either.
Speaker 33 But officials say the drones left the area and were not recovered.
Speaker 1 We're going away. Bye.
Speaker 33 The Independent and the BBC report the Defense Ministry confirmed the engagement and say there are no immediate reports of casualties or confirmed damage.
Speaker 33 Later the same day, Eindhoven Airport, which serves both civilian passengers and the military, briefly suspended flights after multiple drone sightings.
Speaker 33 Sky News reports operations have since resumed while investigators work to determine who was behind the incursions.
Speaker 33 Authorities describe the episodes as part of a widing pattern of mysterious drone activity near military sites and airports across northern Europe, prompting heightened security and urgent inquiries.
Speaker 33 Defense officials have urged the public to avoid speculation and to report any sightings as investigations continue.
Speaker 1 So you've got
Speaker 1 this guy in Holland who is the drone guru.
Speaker 1 And he actually found out that the previous drone sighting, remember we had a report, Boots on the Ground, one of our producers, a drone fell out of the sky.
Speaker 1 So he saw two dudes flying a drone over one of the airports, and they had press passes. This is all a scam.
Speaker 1 This is a,
Speaker 1 yes, they had press passes. Oh, no, we just would just
Speaker 1 go to the...
Speaker 1
Account for them not shooting down the drones. Of course.
This is all just a psyop.
Speaker 1 And the best, though, is the Russian spy ship off the coast of England.
Speaker 34 A Russian spy ship has been spotted off the coast of Scotland, and according to the UK's Defence Secretary, it's pointed lasers at an RAS aircraft monitoring it.
Speaker 34 He's called the incident deeply dangerous. So, what do we know?
Speaker 34 The Yanta is one of Russia's ships designed for gathering intelligence and mapping out undersea cables, according to the UK's Defence Secretary John Healy.
Speaker 34 It's the second time this year the Yanta has been spotted near UK waters after the vessel received a warning from the Royal Navy in January.
Speaker 34 At BBC Verify, we've followed the British aircraft that was likely deployed to track the ship.
Speaker 34 Vessels like the Yanta often turn their tracking systems off or even broadcast false locations, which means tracking it using publicly available tools is difficult.
Speaker 1
Well that's what you do if you're a spy ship. You're not gonna broad oh oh we're a spy ship.
We're broadcasting our location. Then they turn it off.
Speaker 1 Oh no, we couldn't reach it through public services.
Speaker 24 Lady.
Speaker 34 Now we've checked its flight path using Flight Radar 24, which monitors air traffic in real time. It shows a Poseidon P-8 surveillance aircraft departing from RAF Lozimas today at 9.30 a.m.
Speaker 34 before it circled an area in the North Sea and returned to base just after 2 p.m.
Speaker 34 We can't say for certain the aircraft has been tracking the Yanta, but it's the flight path that indicates that it's been surveilling the same patch of ocean, which matches statements provided by Defense Secretary John Healy.
Speaker 1
So that is the actual BBC with the biggest non-report I've ever heard about something they have BBC verify. You verified nothing.
So let's get the news straight from the horse's mouth.
Speaker 1 This is John Healy, I think. Yes, he is the Defence Secretary.
Speaker 35 As I speak, a Russian spy ship, the Yantar, is on the edge of UK waters, north of Scotland, having entered the UK's wider waters over the last few weeks.
Speaker 1 This is a vessel.
Speaker 1 Hold on.
Speaker 1
That's called wider waters. That means they're still in the international area.
Oh, yeah. No, he says.
They just call it
Speaker 1 New York City is in the wider waters.
Speaker 1
Yeah, they're in international water. Yeah, of course.
The wider waters.
Speaker 35 It's on the edge of UK waters, north of Scotland, having entered the UK's wider waters over the last few weeks. This is a vessel designed for gathering intelligence and mapping our undersea cables.
Speaker 35 We deployed a Royal Navy frigate and RAF P eight planes to monitor and track this vessel's every move.
Speaker 1 Every move.
Speaker 35 During which the Antarct directed lasers at our pilots.
Speaker 1 Lasers? That russian action is deeply. Sorry for a second.
Speaker 1 They directed like one of those pen light lasers. What do you think it was?
Speaker 1 Well, it was probably,
Speaker 1 you know, a harassment.
Speaker 1 It seems to me,
Speaker 1 if they're
Speaker 1 aiming lasers at you, that that's an attack and you can blow them out of the water.
Speaker 1 Don't you think? Not with a P-28.
Speaker 1 Well, no, but you can have a fighter escort.
Speaker 1
There's nothing going on here. This is just to get people all up.
You see this Russia
Speaker 1 at our pilots.
Speaker 35 That Russian action is deeply dangerous.
Speaker 1
Deeply dangerous. Then shoot them.
What?
Speaker 1 Then shoot him out of the water if it's dangerous. No, he's going to make a threat here at the end.
Speaker 35 And this is the second time this year that this ship, the Yantar, has deployed to UK waters.
Speaker 35 So, my message to Russia and to Putin is this:
Speaker 1 we see you,
Speaker 35 we know what you're doing, and if the Yantar travels south this week, we are ready.
Speaker 1 God, please.
Speaker 1 We are ready, I tell you.
Speaker 1 So,
Speaker 1 while that's happening, it seems like peace talks are cropping up once again. This will take place in the G20 nation that did not attend the G20 summit of Switzerland.
Speaker 22
Ukraine will begin talks with the U.S. on the 28-point peace plan suggested jointly by Russia and the U.S.
in Switzerland in the coming days, according to Ukrainian officials.
Speaker 22 Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Saturday he had appointed a delegation to discuss with Washington the plan to halt the war.
Speaker 22 Also on Saturday, Zelensky and his wife attended a ceremony in Kyiv to commemorate the great famine that Soviet leader Joseph Stalin imposed on Ukraine, which led to millions of deaths in the early 1930s.
Speaker 22 Meanwhile, Russia launched 104 drones in overnight attacks on Ukraine, as well as one ballistic missile. According to Ukraine's armed forces, 89 of the drones were either shot down or jammed.
Speaker 22 However, several locations were hit by attacks. In Odessa, at least two people were injured by the attacks, according to local
Speaker 24 the marriage.
Speaker 1 109 drones and a ballistic missile.
Speaker 1
And two, that's what they sent over. They can say whatever they want about how many they downed.
89 of them. So at least 20 or so got through.
Yeah. And two people were injured.
Yes.
Speaker 1 How does this math ever add up when they make these reports? Well, it came from, according to Ukraine's reporting.
Speaker 1 So.
Speaker 1 It doesn't add up.
Speaker 1 But are they saying, are they exaggerating the number of drones or are they they underestimating the number of casualties? And we just presume it's
Speaker 1
all just bullcrap. That's what I'm thinking.
And for some reason, A.G. Scott Besant
Speaker 1 is answering questions about the peace negotiation, which I find interesting. What Scott Besant got to do with the price of bread? Well, here he is with Manhand's Welker.
Speaker 20
Let's talk about Ukraine. U.S.
lawmakers on both sides of the aisle, Ukrainian officials who I've spoken to say the peace plan for Russia and Ukraine, as written, only benefits Russia.
Speaker 20 Let me ask you simply, Mr. Secretary, was this 28-point plan written by Russia?
Speaker 21 I have no information on that, Kristen, but I can tell you.
Speaker 1 I love this. Was it written by Russia? Because we know that Putin really controls Trump.
Speaker 20 Simply, Mr. Secretary, was this 28-point plan written by Russia?
Speaker 21
I have no information on that, Kristen, but I can tell you, I am the highest-ranking U.S. official to have visited Ukraine.
I went last February.
Speaker 21
And when I went last February, I went with an economic cooperation agreement between the U.S. and Ukraine.
President Zelensky pushed back against it.
Speaker 21
The same people you're just talking about there pushed back against it. Mainstream media pushed back against it.
You know what?
Speaker 21 We did it three months later, and now it is the centerpiece for the Ukrainian economy that this agreement is even funding military plants for the very innovative military sector in the Ukraine.
Speaker 21 So, you know, I would be very careful on conventional wisdom. And to go back to your question, it is a peace negotiation.
Speaker 1 A negotiation. Hmm.
Speaker 1
Let's get some information on the negotiation from the guy who always is in the know. Back to his sweaters.
He's not wearing the suit anymore. Andrew Rasoulis, everybody from Canada.
Speaker 36 Yeah, so we have to remember this is a draft.
Speaker 36
The authors are Bitcoff for the United States and Dmitriev for the Russians. The Russians officially say these are only contacts.
There is no plan. So we're at that kind of stage now.
Speaker 36 The other thing we have to remember is that the Americans have sent a Department of the Army team, including the Secretary of the Army, to Kyiv to talk to Zelensky about this stuff today.
Speaker 1 Lots of moving pieces.
Speaker 36 What my takeaway, though, is that the American proposals slash with the Russians kind of reflects the battlefield reality on the ground in the sense that, yes, the Ukrainians, for example, would have to walk back from the rest of the demilitarium from the Donbass, like the fortress belt.
Speaker 36 That would then be declared a demilitarized zone. In turn, the Russians would stop advancing below in the two of Zaporizhia and Kershan.
Speaker 36 So what we're getting here is, I think, a reflection of battlefield realities.
Speaker 36 The balance of forces do favor the Russians.
Speaker 36 And I've always said for some time now that Ukraine, at the end of the day, will come out with a shorter end of the stick, which this plan implies.
Speaker 36 But again, I emphasize that reflects battlefield reality.
Speaker 36 When the Europeans and the Ukrainians say they reject it out of hand and they want their plan, they don't seem to have the military power to do that, actually.
Speaker 1 So
Speaker 1 what's back on the table, and we've discussed this before, is the difference between de jure and de facto.
Speaker 1 De jure being legal and de facto being, I guess, a fact. 20% of the country, though, is what we're talking about.
Speaker 1 As you know, Andrew, the Donbass, Donetsk, Luhansk, this is an area that the Ukrainians have been fighting to try and hold on to.
Speaker 1
And Zelensky, the leader of Ukraine, has said he cannot cede any Ukrainian territory. I wonder how this is going to play out.
Now, the Europeans are saying we're not going to accept this either.
Speaker 1 So, what's the path forward here?
Speaker 36 Well, the path forward on the ceding territory is very legalistic. There are two terms: de ure, which means by law, deure, which means as a matter of fact.
Speaker 36 Now, the Ukrainians have for months now recognized that they lack the military strength to push the Russians out of that 20% of territory back to the 91 borders, including Crimea.
Speaker 36 So, the Ukrainians have said they are looking at a de facto recognition, and then diplomatically they would try to work at resolving this over the long term.
Speaker 36 The Russians, of course, insist on legally, like deuray by law, which they've said they've annexed.
Speaker 36 That's a very important distinction, and that distinction could actually lead to a diplomatic understanding between the two sides.
Speaker 36 The other factor that we're gathering from this plan is that while the Ukrainians would not be required to legally recognize this, they would only do it as a matter of fact, the United States, on the other hand, would recognize the Donbass and Crimea as legally part of Russia.
Speaker 36 So that would be a bit of a more of a compromise for the Russian side, a give for the Russians. So there's a lot of moving parts in here.
Speaker 1 Yes, it doesn't sound like anything's happening to me.
Speaker 1 People do say de jure mostly.
Speaker 1 Instead of de jure?
Speaker 1
No, de jure. He said de jure.
De jure.
Speaker 1 Well, he's Canadian.
Speaker 1 I give him a pass.
Speaker 1 And de facto means in fact, as in
Speaker 1
fact, Jack. Yeah.
Well,
Speaker 1 I don't know, Trump.
Speaker 1
That was not his best. That was his fact.
No, it's not his best. No, that was not his best.
Speaker 1 No good.
Speaker 1 We can, let's see, we can talk. Well, I have
Speaker 1 Venezuela with a Rubio.
Speaker 1 Well, I don't have that, so I'd be interested in it. Okay, this is with Margaret from this morning.
Speaker 1 Face the numb nuts.
Speaker 37 It is tomorrow that the Trump administration officially will designate the Cartel de los Soles as a foreign terrorist organization.
Speaker 37 That's the cartel the Trump administration says is linked to Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro.
Speaker 37 Secretary Hegset says it gives the administration new tools.
Speaker 37 Nothing's on or off the table, he says militarily.
Speaker 27 Legally, what changes tomorrow?
Speaker 37 What becomes possible?
Speaker 38 Kill him.
Speaker 39 When you have war, the rules of engagement are lessened. So, for example, we normally
Speaker 1 still want to hear that because that could be pretty boring.
Speaker 1
Yeah, Rand Paul's got nothing to say. He's not bringing any, he's like out of, they've taken him out of the loop, not read in on anything.
We don't know, we don't get anything out of him.
Speaker 1 Well,
Speaker 1 I have a question about, you know, this Argentine or this Venezuelan thing is interesting to me. They're sitting off the coast as this huge oil field,
Speaker 1 and
Speaker 1 they were very prosperous just milking it and letting, like, for example, Citco, which is the offshoot of the Venezuelan oil company, sell their gasoline directly here.
Speaker 1
So it was almost a straight pipeline from Venezuela to Sitco to the gas pumps in the United States. It was just making money hands over fist.
And you'd swap that out for the sketchy drug business?
Speaker 1 No, no, no, no. I don't think that's what that is.
Speaker 1
No, this is about Guiana, about them. No, no, Guiana is a different story.
There's another, yeah, there's a field there, but the point is, is they, that Venezuela has a field that is massive,
Speaker 1 and they're making money hand over fist, just pumping oil and shipping it to the United States and elsewhere, and we're gladly accepting it, and then they swap it out. Did they stop?
Speaker 1
Well, I mean, I don't, it doesn't make any sense to me. This is like, you know, having the golden goose laying egg after egg, and you're just saying, I'd rather do something else.
Well,
Speaker 1 socialism kills everything, man.
Speaker 1
I really don't know. It makes no sense.
The drug business is pretty profitable. Yeah, but it's sketchy.
It's not as easy. I mean,
Speaker 1 what's easier than letting you go? you guys can pump all you want we'll take half the money i mean it's you don't have to do anything pretty much yeah
Speaker 1 i i don't know
Speaker 1 i mean as far as i know this whole thing is only about the guyana takeover
Speaker 1 so i'm i'm not sure what they're doing no but this i'm talking about yeah
Speaker 1 currently that's true but when chavez got was running the show before this maduro dumb shit there was you know they took it over became a socialist country and it started deteriorating.
Speaker 1
It had nothing to do with Guyana then. No.
And they were still sitting on a big oil field by themselves. They just went, what do they want the other oil field for? What difference does it make?
Speaker 1 They're not exploiting it.
Speaker 1 I mean, I can only tell you what I know.
Speaker 1 These are questions I cannot answer.
Speaker 1 All right.
Speaker 1 However, good to know that on this show, the jingles are always useful. It may take a few years, but the news always comes back around to a jingle that we have
Speaker 1 yeah baby
Speaker 1 al-shabaab is back in business
Speaker 1 where
Speaker 1 boko haram
Speaker 1 well shabaab and boko haram is that the same group i don't think so yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Speaker 1 yeah
Speaker 1 yes and by the way that this dude i know what you're going to to go with this. You're going to go to the
Speaker 1 Nigerian rousting of the Christians. Of course, they kill a lot of Muslims too, these nutbolts
Speaker 1 actually.
Speaker 1
I looked at that. This is not.
I completely disagree with the killing Christians. It's not targeted Christian attack.
It's where they're attacking.
Speaker 1 It's not a problem. And if you want to look at killing Christians, go to Congo, which you won't do because Trump's done a deal with them.
Speaker 1 But I'm not looking at that.
Speaker 1 I'm looking at Minnesota.
Speaker 1 Okay.
Speaker 1 Yeah.
Speaker 1
Take it. All right.
No, no.
Speaker 1 I'm glad you are wrong. I was not going to say anything about their killing Christians.
Speaker 1
I disagree with you. No, I never said that.
I said they're.
Speaker 1 Yes.
Speaker 1
I'm not wrong. I just.
I'm in agreement with you. So maybe I am wrong, but I'm in agreement.
Yeah, you're wrong.
Speaker 5 Is the biggest funder of Al-Shabaab, the Al-Qaeda-linked terror group in Somalia, actually, the Minnesota taxpayer,
Speaker 1 a federal investigator, says yes.
Speaker 5 An alarming claim first reported by City Journal, which spoke with multiple former federal agents.
Speaker 1 The U.S.
Speaker 5 Attorney's Office has charged dozens of defendants across multiple schemes, including housing aid fraud, pandemic child nutrition fraud, and false billing for autism therapy.
Speaker 5 In total, prosecutors say these schemes have cost Minnesota taxpayers billions of dollars.
Speaker 1 Still, there are people that have legitimately could use those resources that are not getting those resources. It's past criminal.
Speaker 5 Minnesota is home to one of the country's largest Somali communities.
Speaker 5 Former state fraud investigator Keish Magan, himself, a Somali American, wrote last year that it's uncomfortable and true that nearly all defendants in these major fraud cases come from that community.
Speaker 1 They have taken advantage of the most generous country in the world and one of the most generous states in that country.
Speaker 5 And according to City Journal, some of the stolen money was sent overseas through informal cash transfer networks. Investigators say once that cash arrived in Somalia, al-Shabaab took a cut
Speaker 1 whether the sender intended that or not. Pretty much across the board, people that I spoke to said there really isn't a law enforcement solution to this problem.
Speaker 41 As you said, that's simply playing black-a-mole.
Speaker 1 People pretty consistently told me that, you know, there needs to be a policy change here.
Speaker 5 Critics claim Minnesota leaders have tiptoed around the issue, fearing a backlash from the state's powerful Somali-American voting bloc.
Speaker 1 Yeah, I think Waltz is going to go down for this. There was so much fraud during COVID in Minnesota.
Speaker 1
So this may be an attack. People just taken advantage of you to eat.
You know, it's like you leave your door unlocked and put a big sign out and say this house's door is unlocked.
Speaker 1 What do you expect? That's one way of looking at it.
Speaker 1 Yeah.
Speaker 1 Yeah.
Speaker 1 yes, there's a lot of corruption, John.
Speaker 1 How about some TikTok clips?
Speaker 1 How about one?
Speaker 1 Oh, please.
Speaker 1 The list is not going to get any shorter. Well, you put what's you put the clips on here that we played last time? No,
Speaker 1
I X'd them out on my list. I made that mistake.
That was a mistake. Okay.
All right. Well, then I'm okay.
Speaker 1 Well, no, you're not. No, I'm not really, but okay.
Speaker 1 But let's do some stuff that might be.
Speaker 1 Let's do some stuff that ref reflects on what's coming up this Thanksgiving family dinner
Speaker 1 I'm so done!
Speaker 1 I understand that I'm strong and I understand that I'm gonna get through it I understand that I've been through so much and it's all gonna fucking be better
Speaker 1 I get that
Speaker 1 but I'm tired
Speaker 1 I'm tired I don't want to do it I know that I will and I know that it will be fun I get that but it's always fucking something.
Speaker 1 How, what? I don't understand what that had to do with Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1
She doesn't want to go to the Thanksgiving dinner, but she will. And she knows it's going to be okay, but she hates it.
Man,
Speaker 1
she's in. This is bull crap.
This is. I think that's real.
Speaker 1 I know the bullcrap ones, and I think these people are actually insane. This is a woman who's acting like a 10-year-old who doesn't want to go to the store with mom.
Speaker 1 So, surprise, news flash, there are insane people on TikTok.
Speaker 1
There are insane people everywhere. Was that the Thanksgiving tantrum, girl? Yes, that was the Thanksgiving tantrum.
Well, then Pierce is no family dinner, girl.
Speaker 1 So,
Speaker 1 year two of not having the holidays with my family.
Speaker 1 Because
Speaker 1 I am
Speaker 1 a person who thinks that everyone deserves rights. Rights to their own body, rights to
Speaker 1
live? Hold on a second. What happened to we're celebrating killing the Indians? That's what it is.
Let's go back to your celebrating killing the Indians. Let's go back to those good old days.
Speaker 1 Love who they want to, rights to eat,
Speaker 1 all of those things.
Speaker 1 And
Speaker 1 hold on a second.
Speaker 1 This woman is assuming that her family is against the rights. Right to eat.
Speaker 1 All of those things.
Speaker 1 And
Speaker 1 my family, um, some members do not think that.
Speaker 1 And it's hard. Like, every
Speaker 1 day I see tons of videos of people, like, oh, can't wait to get to the holidays with their mega relatives and you know, say all this stuff.
Speaker 1 And I don't have that
Speaker 1 because I'm not invited. And not all of my family is
Speaker 9 mega or supporters.
Speaker 1 But the ones that are not, um, just try to keep the peace and don't talk about it and say things like, There's nothing you can do about it, so
Speaker 1 get over it. And I'm not
Speaker 1 gonna get over it. I don't know, I don't know about you guys, but I'm not, um,
Speaker 1 I can't really get over supporting people who have sex with children.
Speaker 1 What
Speaker 1 wow,
Speaker 1 That's a stretch.
Speaker 1 How do you even get from A to B is beyond me? Well, that is real. These people are real.
Speaker 1 And it's very sad. This all started with COVID, and that trauma continues, and SSRIs are to blame, and there's all kinds of it's very, I find that very sad when I hear these things.
Speaker 1 These people are still in the world.
Speaker 1 One of the women, the woman who did
Speaker 1 Peace and Love, the little dance after Charlie Kirk died.
Speaker 1
She came back on. I don't have it.
I didn't clip it.
Speaker 1 You have a million TikTok clips and you didn't get her?
Speaker 1 Well, I mean, the reason is because it's not as entertaining as these. Oh, this is.
Speaker 1 What do you think it is?
Speaker 1 Come on, that's entertainment. Now, she is starting, she actually looked pretty decent.
Speaker 1 It's like it's starting to show up on her face. She's literally turning ugly
Speaker 1
before you. It's just like the damnedest thing.
It's just like, wow, if you're going to just be so hateful, it really starts to reflect your looks.
Speaker 1
Here is, there's a, I won't play too many. This is the last one, and you can take a break.
But how about playing this one? This is the profound dip shit.
Speaker 1
Okay. The other day, I went to the bottom.
No, dude, get wait, wait, wait. If you're going to do the sigh,
Speaker 1 at least play the psych intro clip. Oh, good lord.
Speaker 42 The other day, I went to a restaurant with my girlfriend and my four-year-old, and the server came up and said, Hello, ladies, and proceeded to take our drink order.
Speaker 42 And as soon as the server left, my four-year-old looked at me and just gasped and was like, They called you a lady.
Speaker 42 She also corrected a family member the other day who she heard me and just went, They them, they them, they them, over and over again until they acknowledged her.
Speaker 42 All that to say, if my freshly four-year-old can figure out pronouns, um, so can your shitty boomer parents.
Speaker 1 No more excuses.
Speaker 1 Was this a dude?
Speaker 1 No, that was a woman. Oh, non-binary woman with her four-year-old who is apparently very erudite, which seems unlikely.
Speaker 1 She'd been around four-year-olds.
Speaker 1 So, this is like the bull.
Speaker 1 This one, I would say, is bull crap. She's just making a story up so she can be on TikTok.
Speaker 1 Well, but she's a dipshit. Everybody posting on TikTok is
Speaker 1 all about them.
Speaker 1
That's the whole point of it. It's the whole point.
Look at me. Look at me.
Now, because
Speaker 1 every person was asked to retweet and share this following announcement, I feel that I should
Speaker 1 read this on the show. This is from Real Candace O.
Speaker 1 Okay.
Speaker 1 And
Speaker 1 yes.
Speaker 1 That would be Candace Owens. That would be Candace Owens.
Speaker 1 And this will top everything that I could probably come up with. Probably.
Speaker 1 So it starts with a revolving light, flashing light. Urgent!
Speaker 1 Two days ago, I was contacted by a high-ranking employee of the French government.
Speaker 1
Oh, here we go. After determining this person's position and proximity to the French couple, that would be Macron and the Macron brothers.
The Macron.
Speaker 1 The Macron brothers, yes.
Speaker 1 I have deemed the information they gave me to be credible enough to share publicly in the event that something happens. Oh, yeah, they're going to shoot her.
Speaker 1
In short, this person claims that the Macrones, also known as the Macron Brothers, have executed upon and paid for my assassination. Yes, you read that correctly.
Oh, brother.
Speaker 1 More specifically, that the green light was given to a small team in National Gendarmerie Intervention Group. I'm told there is one Israeli that is on this assassination.
Speaker 1
Oh, yeah, it has to be an Israeli, of course. The plans were formalized.
Again, this person provided concrete proof that they are well placed within the French government apparatus.
Speaker 1 Further to this point, this person claims that Charlie Kirk's assassin trained with the French Legion 13th Brigade with multi-state involvement. Journalist Xavier Poussard's life is also at risk.
Speaker 1
This is deadly serious. I don't know.
The head of state of France apparently wants us both dead and has authorized professional units to carry this out. I ask every person to retweet and share this.
Speaker 1 I do not know who in the American government can be trusted, since this source claims our leaders are aware.
Speaker 1 But I have more specific information which is definitely verifiable should they care to reach out to me.
Speaker 1 To the brave official in France who did this because they were so moved by the evil of Charlie's public execution to risk their own life? May God bless you, truly. Let all be revealed.
Speaker 1 Wow.
Speaker 1 I mean, after you go to the assassination squad with an Israeli hit guy, I mean, there's nothing, what else can you do after that?
Speaker 1 I mean, you pretty much have to be shot. How can you top it?
Speaker 1 I have no idea.
Speaker 1 This woman, I don't, you know, I have to say there are a lot of people that
Speaker 1 I've talked to that, or you know some very quite close to you that are enamored with her presentation on her
Speaker 1
little show. Absolutely.
And they like listening to her. She's just a chatterbox.
She's a non-stop chatterbox. She's like, she could have been an
Speaker 1 standalone reporters, the ones that you and I have both run into, which go up,
Speaker 1
they're on a TV news show. People have seen them, but you've never worked with them.
When you work with them, it's like, wow.
Speaker 1
They can hold a mic in front of a car wreck and talk as long as you want them to. Yak, yak, yak.
And they have little moments where you can cut in and stop them.
Speaker 1
But, you know, and there's because they're pros. Yeah.
And so yak, yak, the car came in and it turns out that the driver, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, goes on and on and on. They go on.
Speaker 1 They can go on for hours. Candace Owens is one of these people who can talk endlessly about pretty much nothing.
Speaker 1 But when you take it to this level,
Speaker 1 maybe someone actually did contact her. At this point,
Speaker 1
some joker. To be credible.
I believe it, like some, one of the clowns out there, one of the, I know these types. Troublemakers, and they're
Speaker 1 especially the United States, we're filled with them.
Speaker 1 Troublemakering, you know, young guys that like to do this sort of thing it's like the crank call guy yeah and it's a crank call basically and they throw this stuff at her with a you know make it sound good but she chants credible it's credible it's credible and the next thing you know she's guys that hook line and sink her because she's a dummy
Speaker 1 i i hope nothing happens to her but to keep this going i mean she'll have to at least have a bullet go through a window or something has to happen otherwise people are not going to find her credible at a certain point the the gig is up.
Speaker 1 There's going to have to be some sort of attack, a brick, I think is what it'll amount to.
Speaker 1 Oh, because that's what Israeli assassins do: they throw bricks.
Speaker 1
They hope to hit you. To throw the bricks through the window on the off-chance, it'll hit you in the head if you're sitting in the right spot.
Maybe it was those Russian dudes
Speaker 1 who got
Speaker 1
Fifi Lagarde. Remember? No, I don't remember.
Yeah, yeah, Volvon and what was the other guys? Volvon. Yeah,
Speaker 1 those two Russian dudes. Hell, Volvon, how are you doing?
Speaker 1 And with that, I want to thank you for your courage. Say in the morning to you, the man who put the C in the Candace assassination squad.
Speaker 1
Say hello to my friend on the other end, the one, the only, Mr. John C.
Devorah.
Speaker 1 Hey, in the morning, you know what I'm saying? Great. In the morning, oh, shit, see, boost telegram, feet in the air, subs in the water, and dames and ice out there.
Speaker 1
And the morning to the trolls in the troll room. Let me count you.
There we go.
Speaker 1
Well, if this were Thursday, it would be good. 1888.
1-888.
Speaker 1
Trolls in the troll room. Good to have y'all here listening live.
Why is it so low?
Speaker 1 Everyone's over watching Candace's live.
Speaker 1 It's not that low. It's just low.
Speaker 1 I think I consider it very low if it's under two. If 1,888 people showed up on your doorstep, you'd be like, that's a lot of people.
Speaker 1 Yeah, well, if they're at the doorstep, but they're not. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1
worldwide. It's Sunday.
People are doing things.
Speaker 1 What?
Speaker 1 Waiting for Sickandus.
Speaker 1
I mean, you have to understand we don't have the urgency. We don't have the revolving lights.
We don't have the break.
Speaker 1
Yeah, we don't have any of that. The revolving light.
That's the best. Yeah.
I mean, we don't have any of that. And nor will we ever because that's just not who we are.
Speaker 1 And that is what gets people's attention.
Speaker 1
Yeah, yeah, we could do a better job. No, no, we'll never do that.
No, we could. I didn't say we would.
Speaker 1 We could. Yeah,
Speaker 1 we could. But that's, I mean, people who listen to the No Agenda show
Speaker 1
and increasingly more Zeds, the Gen Zs, the Zoomers, the Zeds, we love you. Welcome to the party.
They're here. They want some real information.
They want some insight.
Speaker 1 They want to get some value out of the podcast, not just be spun up all the time.
Speaker 1 You know, get some in value. Did anyone else explain the relationship between FDR
Speaker 1 and LaGuardia? No.
Speaker 1 You can't get these things on a break egg, right? Trump socks, break a
Speaker 1
Republican socks. Alert, alert, alert.
Democrats are no good. No.
Speaker 1 It's useless.
Speaker 1
It's useless. Yeah, but that's if just, I mean, you're on TikTok or you, I'm sorry, you're on X and you get your TikTok videos from X.
I get them filtered, yeah, yeah, filtered.
Speaker 1 Okay, they are, they're filtered, yeah. There's some sources that people that just plow
Speaker 1 libs of TikTok, okay? That's your well, that's only one of 20.
Speaker 1 Libs of TikTok is only one of 20, right?
Speaker 1 Um, but if I just look on my X feed, okay, let's just see.
Speaker 1 Uh,
Speaker 1 is there an explanation for this video yet?
Speaker 1 There's one
Speaker 1 your fee sucks, by the way. It is demonic and straight from the pits of hell.
Speaker 1 Is the below fear I outlined from last year still a conspiracy theory at this point?
Speaker 1
That's Edward Dowd. I mean, the guy's actually smart.
Imagine being a grown-ass man having a full-blown childlike temper tantrum over a two-word tweet from a three-star general asking now what?
Speaker 1 L-M-A-F-A-O.
Speaker 1 I mean,
Speaker 1 that's what people go for. Oh, I better click on that.
Speaker 1
That's what's happening. And we're just not a part of that.
We keep you calm. We're fun to listen to while you're doing the dishes, walking the dog.
driving in the car. We're mellow.
Speaker 1
We're not, you know, we're just, you know, we're funny. Sometimes we bring a little bit of humor.
We're naturally funny, I think. Just to
Speaker 1 I am for sure.
Speaker 1
Yeah. Okay.
Yeah. Well, you have Marty the joke writer, so no surprise.
Speaker 1 So
Speaker 1 the good part about this is that you can listen to us live if you feel like it. We have sound effects that no one, believe me, no one has that.
Speaker 1 No one has that particular sound effect, and no one has had that sound effect since 1953.
Speaker 1 That is actually rare. That one.
Speaker 1 That owns that collectible.
Speaker 1
We have collectible sound effects. So you can listen to the No Agenda Show live at noagendastream.com.
Or here's a thought.
Speaker 1 Get a modern podcast app and you will be alerted on your podcast app. This is a strange concept for people.
Speaker 1 You don't need to have YouTube or Instagram.
Speaker 1 No, you just have a podcast app and it will let you know when our show goes live and you can listen to it live or within 90 seconds of us posting it, the modern podcast apps go, ooh, they've posted.
Speaker 1
So you won't be waiting around for hours for your legacy app to update and all that stuff. Podcastapps.com.
Also, you're not getting any ads. Oh, man.
These days, you know, I live in Texas.
Speaker 1 And when you get these DAI
Speaker 1 dynamic ad insertions, half of them are in Spanish.
Speaker 1 Because I guess there's, you know, oh, it's Texas, must be Spanish. Oh, yeah, Texas.
Speaker 1 You got to be in Spanish. So I'm getting Spanish ads.
Speaker 1 Very strange why they can't even figure that out.
Speaker 1 So no ads. Yeah, although
Speaker 1 it's a good point. The work they go into is all this little analysis.
Speaker 1 They got an IP, you know, geofinder. They got all these things going on.
Speaker 1 They're listening in as you're sitting at home. home.
Speaker 1 They're watching you watch TV in many instances. They got the AI and they're tracking you like a dog and they can't get anything right.
Speaker 1
How does that work? I did get several nice little emails about what to turn off on my new television. Man, there's a lot of tracking going on in those TVs.
That seems to me. Yeah, there is.
Speaker 1
You have to turn off a bunch of stuff. It's not that hard.
And Gmail, did you know that Gmail automatically opts you in
Speaker 1 it? I mean, if people didn't know, you have free email from Google, Gmail, and they read all your email. Well, it's not actually sitting there reading it, but they scan through it.
Speaker 1
They scan the attachments. They say looking for words.
And they're looking for words. But now they're loading all that into their models.
They're training their AI based upon your email.
Speaker 1
So please send me a lot of funny emails so it can pollute their models. Oh, by the way.
So
Speaker 1 I fell down on the job.
Speaker 1 So
Speaker 1 we were hanging out with friends Friday night, and I say, AI sucks. This is
Speaker 1 always a good one. Oh, yeah, how does AI suck? Oh, why don't you tell it to
Speaker 1 show you some pictures of people writing left-handed?
Speaker 1 And then why don't you show some pictures of a clock that says it's five past 12?
Speaker 1 And they brought it up first go.
Speaker 1 But it wasn't Chat GPT or Grok, it was Perplexity.
Speaker 1 Yeah.
Speaker 1 Perplexity was able to do that. So I have a new one.
Speaker 1 Ask Perplexity, Chat GPT, or Grok to show you a picture of a wine glass filled to the brim, all the way to the top. This it cannot do.
Speaker 1 Even Perplexity can't do it.
Speaker 1 So that'll be the AI tip of the day.
Speaker 1 Well, if it's a, you want to call that a tip?
Speaker 1 It's value value for value man this is a valuable tip you just got from us and for that very reason you should return some value to it they can go hard cop hard code that in
Speaker 1 with i think that well
Speaker 1 apparently the hard coding in is not easy but perplexity was able to do it
Speaker 1 um
Speaker 1 and we're about to thank our artists who brought us the artwork for episode 1818 but first i got a note from wesley And Wesley says, hi, Adam. Well, prompt better.
Speaker 1
Create something by hand from time to time. And those people do win.
There's usually nothing above that. I cited this from the last episode.
Speaker 1 As a full-time artist, I worked the entire weekend using my free time, drawing the coffee and curry artwork, and you shoot it off as not funny.
Speaker 1
This discouraged me beyond words. I wanted to only supply hand-drawn.
Wait, hold on a second. This is an artist that's telling you this? Yes.
So this is an artist who's never had any criticism ever?
Speaker 1 I guess not. Yeah.
Speaker 1
Very rare. Very rare.
I wanted to only supply hand-drawn art since you dislike AI slop and complained about it so much.
Speaker 1
It hasn't even been used for chapters, which, by the way, is part of the modern podcast apps. Very disappointed.
Nevertheless, have a great weekend.
Speaker 1
Who's this? Wesley. Wesley.
What did he submit? He submitted the curry and coffee art, which
Speaker 1 I guess we talked about it and I said it wasn't funny. Well, yeah, if it wasn't funny, I mean, that's just because I don't remember a curry and coffee art.
Speaker 1 Well, maybe it was from 1817 then.
Speaker 1 But he's complaining about something that long ago? Well, that's only two shows ago. Well,
Speaker 1 for us, it's long. Let me see if I can find it.
Speaker 1 Yeah, but I mean, okay, I'm sorry you feel bad about that, but we have definitely definitely picked hand-drawn drawn art and we're all or hand-created art and we're always delighted. But
Speaker 1
we are. We're actually pro.
Yeah, we're very pro that. But, you know, I'm sorry to say, just because you did it by hand doesn't mean that it gets picked automatically.
Speaker 1
Yeah, and it doesn't mean it's any good. No, that's thank you.
That's the point I was trying to make.
Speaker 1 So we will thank the artist for episode 1818. We titled it the belt Bible Belt Buckle.
Speaker 1 And this went to Darren O'Neill, who got it. He created, was that, is that an F-35?
Speaker 1 That jet?
Speaker 1
It could be anything. It could be an F3.
It's created by AI.
Speaker 1 Just a random fighter. Probably doesn't fly.
Speaker 1
And it had ExxonMobil all over it. And that was funny.
See,
Speaker 1 that's the difference. He sent me the, I don't have, I'd have to go look it up to give it to you.
Speaker 1 He sent me the prompt. The prompt was
Speaker 1
just simple. Yeah.
Oh, I'm sure it was. It was like two sentences, boom.
Speaker 1 So
Speaker 1 he's gotten to the point where he really
Speaker 1 has a, it's this, it's the kind of, you know, the prompt itself,
Speaker 1 producing the prompt
Speaker 1 is creative work in itself
Speaker 1 if you're so in tune with the systems,
Speaker 1
you can, you know how to talk to it. Yeah.
And that's basically where he is right now.
Speaker 1 Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 1
Once you, and yeah, that's true. So this doesn't have to be complicated.
Well,
Speaker 1
he says he got on one pass. We still got nothing but slop.
I mean, that's just the fact besides that. We did look at other things.
Let me see.
Speaker 1
Nothing on TV. I kind of like the Schumerize by Nessworks.
You nix that one.
Speaker 1
The Jeffrey Rhea. So this kind of tripped me out.
So church this morning,
Speaker 1 one of the five pastor Brians, he's doing the message, and he brings up an AI art,
Speaker 1
which was if you eat Twinkies, don't be surprised if you turn into a ding-dong. There's a whole story behind that.
Ah, pun. But
Speaker 1 it was made by the same model that Jeffrey Rhea uses. I'm like, oh, I think I groaned.
Speaker 1 I think I groaned audibly.
Speaker 1 A lot of piggies in the art,
Speaker 1 but yeah,
Speaker 1
didn't really, a lot of people did. You know, the joke doesn't translate if you show a clock with 10 to 10.
I mean,
Speaker 1
Darren with the bumper stickers, not quite sure where that came from. Not sure what that was about.
No.
Speaker 1 And what else was it? A lot of it's too complicated. I mean, give me.
Speaker 1 The jet fighter with the ExxonMobil
Speaker 1
goes all over it. It stood out like a sore thumb as the best piece.
Give people some direction. I mean,
Speaker 1 how should they approach this since anybody can do this now?
Speaker 1
Well, most people have a lot of the artists right now. We have a lot of probably 25 to 30 artists that have won.
So they know how to do it.
Speaker 1 Yeah, but they should look at what wins and just say, well, why did that win? Try to figure it out and then kind of put yourself in the mindset that would have created that in the first place.
Speaker 1 Actually, hadn't. You can't tell people how to be artists.
Speaker 1 Yeah, you can.
Speaker 1 You just even say anything, they bitch at you, the letter you got. Yeah, well, I felt bad for them.
Speaker 1
I'll give you an example. There's a piece that just showed up.
It's going to be for the, they're
Speaker 1
submitted for today's show, the French hit squad. It says, no agenda.
It's got some black woman with a gun.
Speaker 1 And then it says, Candace Owens, French, you know, Candace Owens, French hit squad, Curry and Dvorak.
Speaker 1 You can't use that piece. Use that.
Speaker 1 Oh.
Speaker 1
It's not usable. One thing, Candace Owens is not on the show.
No. So what is your name there? What's the French?
Speaker 1
It just makes no sense. Well, you know what? I know what it is.
It's not funny. Oh, I know what it is.
Speaker 1 It's just like they put into the prompt Candace Owens, French hit squad, no agenda, and spit that out. And like, wow, that's great.
Speaker 1 I'm going to upload.
Speaker 1 That's Jeffrey Rhea. He should know better.
Speaker 1
Was that Jeffrey Rhea? Yeah. Yeah, he should know better than that.
Yeah, and Scaramanga should know better than to create an art that is, you can't see it.
Speaker 1 Scaramanga should.
Speaker 1 The G20.
Speaker 1 There's no faces, and it's little, little, it's too small.
Speaker 1
I don't even see it on here. Yeah, it's the top.
It's the top, all the way to the top.
Speaker 1 Yeah.
Speaker 1
Anyway, it's the end. It's the end of creativity.
It's the end.
Speaker 1 And
Speaker 1 now there's no such thing. Yes, there is.
Speaker 1
No, no. People are creative whether they like it or not.
Oh, yeah. So Paul McCartney, he's mad, and he's done something about it.
Speaker 43 Paul McCartney has taken a firm stand against the United Kingdom's proposed artificial intelligence-related copyright legislation by adding a bonus track to the vinyl edition of the protest album, Is This What We Want?
Speaker 43 The album's original digital release consisted of silent studio recordings symbolizing resistance to the unlicensed use of creative works in AI training systems.
Speaker 1 Is this what we want?
Speaker 43 Released digitally on February 25th, 2025, features contributions from more than 1,000 musicians across genres, including Kate Bush, Damon Albarn, Annie Lennox, Hans Zimmer, and Pet Shop Boys, all collaborating on a silent recording that captures ambient noise from studios and concert halls.
Speaker 43 For the vinyl edition scheduled for December 8th, 2025, McCartney contributed a two-minute, 45-second bonus track consisting of tape hiss, faint footsteps, and the metallic click of a door opening, all recorded in an empty studio.
Speaker 43 According to McCartney and the organizers, the track is intended as a reminder that if AI companies exploit musicians' intellectual property without compensation, the creative ecosystem will collapse and original music will be silenced.
Speaker 1 I love that AI did that report.
Speaker 1
No, they won't get any money. They'll be out of money.
That's basically, that's the problem.
Speaker 1 Is that
Speaker 1 you can't build a career on it.
Speaker 1 Yeah, well, that's probably going to, it's going to definitely change the way things go. There are still live performances.
Speaker 1 People like to go to, they like to go, the young people, young, the youngsters, the centers.
Speaker 1
They like to go to the nightclubs. They like to go hang out.
They like a live band. They go to the club.
Speaker 1 They go to the clubs, really.
Speaker 1 Well, they used to.
Speaker 1 Well, yeah, actually, Brennan and Jay recently went to the Fillmore for something, and there's a live performance of something or other. Oh, they went to a club.
Speaker 1 That's a club, I guess.
Speaker 1 More of a dance hole.
Speaker 1 I was talking to the boys in Mercy Me.
Speaker 1
Yeah, I was hanging out with the boys there at the Mercy Me. I was in the back room.
Yeah.
Speaker 1
It's there in Tennessee. This is a text message.
Our friend Tim Timmons was at a songwriter's retreat with about 20 other writers. He said he was the only one there not using Suno.
Speaker 1 Everybody was using it to make demos with lyrics and melodies that they were coming up with.
Speaker 1
So they're using it in creative ways, but of course, we can do that too. Anybody can do that.
And I don't, you know, at this point, it's sad, but yeah, there it is.
Speaker 1 Still, nobody, this,
Speaker 1 you know, once you have a hit song, everybody can make that hit song or something like it. But it's always going to be that something
Speaker 1
just amazing that comes out. But, you know, there's no money in it anyway.
You can't make money with your songs. you can only make money touring with merch
Speaker 1 merch so
Speaker 1 so if we come up with a good concept we could make some merch money
Speaker 1 yeah yeah
Speaker 1 i'm saying ain't gonna happen
Speaker 1 you have no entrepreneurial spirit anymore i have nothing but entrepreneurial spirit but the problem is it's been tempered by by extreme pragmatism
Speaker 1
as in nothing worse what happens as you get older it's like in other words it better better be a sure thing. It's not.
The microphone company was a sure bet. It still is.
Speaker 1 But is it right now until this tariff thing gets straightened out?
Speaker 1 And I can't use the name sure.
Speaker 1
Let's thank our producers. We always thank everybody 50 and above who have supported us financially.
It's waning for sure. So, Trump, get the economy going.
Well, I want to say something about today.
Speaker 1 The spreadsheet crashed, Jason.
Speaker 1 So it's possible that there's some some people that are going to be left out.
Speaker 1 And I would say initially that
Speaker 1 if you expected your name called today,
Speaker 1 and not from checks, I'm talking about people that send in PayPal only.
Speaker 1 If you send it, because that's what happened, it's a PayPal spreadsheet we're talking about.
Speaker 1 If you didn't get your name called out today and you gave to PayPal and it should have gone in by midnight
Speaker 1 Saturday,
Speaker 1 send us a note with
Speaker 1 your amount amount or whatever. We'll do a list of make goods if it's if it's important to you.
Speaker 1
What happened exactly? Did her computer crash? What happened? Yeah. Yeah.
Windows?
Speaker 1 Yeah, Windows.
Speaker 1 She seems like she'd be more like a Mac person.
Speaker 1 She probably would be if she had a Mac. Okay.
Speaker 1 So we do have some people to thank, and we always like to thank our executive and associate executive producers first. Who are they?
Speaker 1 Well, they're people who are fortunate enough to be able to support us with $200 or more.
Speaker 1 We give you the official Hollywood title in in that case of Associate Executive Producer, which you can use anywhere these credits are recognized, including imdb.com.
Speaker 1 And we will read your note $300 or above, and we will give you an executive producer title and do the same with your note. And we start with Bill Malloy from Daphne, Alabama, $1,913.77.
Speaker 1
What do you think that number means? Or is that something like that? That could be the number. That could be the show.
We have to give him a show. That may be the show number plus fees.
Speaker 1 Wow, it's a lot of fees. So, should we just deem this to be that's why I tell people when they're going to donate this much money to send a check?
Speaker 1
He says, May I be known as Circumspec, Knight of the Living Debt? No karma, no check. That's a great pun, by the way.
Yeah, that's good. Thanks, Bill Malloy, Malloy from Louisiana, oh, lower Alabama.
Speaker 1 Sorry, P.S.
Speaker 1 JCD's Louisiana limo driver, Tom Kanin.
Speaker 1 Do you know this guy?
Speaker 1
Maybe. He's a douchebag.
Douchebag.
Speaker 1 Thanks, Bill, and you will be knighted, my friend.
Speaker 1 Okay, now we go to
Speaker 1 Ken Casper in New Brown Fells, Texas, 45324. He sent in a check-in,
Speaker 1 a letter, a note, which I have before me.
Speaker 1 Thank you for all your hard work, Adam. I'm glad that you're now
Speaker 1 connected with all the true Texas patriots out there in Fredericksburg. Matt Long, Kyle Biederman, Rick Green, etc.
Speaker 1
Yeah, Kyle and Rick, for sure. Keep the network tight.
We all need the love of Jesus Christ and the Christian connections as things crumble around us.
Speaker 1 Are they crumbling there?
Speaker 1 No,
Speaker 1
no, no, will you? No, because we have Jesus here. So when things are not crumbling.
Well, then they wouldn't be crumbling. It's not.
Speaking of, he continues.
Speaker 1
speaking of connections bringing protection, I would like to call out all Texas listeners. The Texas, oh, here we go.
The Texas Nationalist Movement
Speaker 1 is organizing county teams.
Speaker 1 If you want to help or are interested in the progress, you can check us out on the web at tnm.me.
Speaker 1 That's tnm, which is texasnationalistmovement. Eme.
Speaker 1 It's the dot me domain.
Speaker 1
I believe that with this donation, I am over the limit to become a knight. I would like my knight name to be Sir Ken of Brownfells.
Oh. And
Speaker 1
you get your pen out because he's got some roundtable fair. Hold on a second.
I didn't realize this was happening. This is part of the spreadsheet muckup, right?
Speaker 1 Hold on. So it's Ken Caspar.
Speaker 1
Caspar, Casper. Okay.
And
Speaker 1
the friendly ghost. Yes.
And he will be Sir Ken.
Speaker 1
It should be. He's not on the list.
No, he's not.
Speaker 1 Oh, that's right.
Speaker 1
Because that's my fault. Yeah, okay.
No, that's totally my fault. Sir Ken of what?
Speaker 1 Of Brownfell's. Bronfels, yeah.
Speaker 1 Okay.
Speaker 1
He wants Shiner Premium Beer. Shiner Premium.
That's a contradiction in terms.
Speaker 1 Yeah, it is.
Speaker 1
Only it's a Texas joke, but I get it. Yeah.
E.J. Sausage and Shiner Church Picnic Stew.
Speaker 1
And Shiner Picnic. I'm not familiar with the Shiner Picnic Stew, but I'll pass it on and we'll make sure.
We'll make sure.
Speaker 1
Now, I should have done this at the beginning. I didn't notice it, actually.
It's at the bottom. He's got some jingle requests.
Okay. This will take you a second.
Speaker 1 They're eating the dogs followed by due to climate change.
Speaker 1 You know, the Trump, they're eating the dogs due to climate change, which is pretty funny if you can find those two clips. Yes, they're eating the dogs and
Speaker 1 due to climate change.
Speaker 1
Okay. All right.
That's all he had? Just those two? Yep, that's it.
Speaker 7 They're eating the dogs.
Speaker 32 Due to climate change.
Speaker 1 All right.
Speaker 1
That's actually quite good. That's a good one.
I like it.
Speaker 1
All right, Ken. You're on the list.
Sean Holman is in Noblesville, Indiana, and he has donated many times before. This is our associate executive producership for him to 1911.
Speaker 1
Ah, that's no mistake because he is from stealtharms.net, the classic 1911 platypus. He says, as we all prepare for turkey, don't forget about the platypus.
Stealtharms.net.
Speaker 1
Thank you for your courage. Yes, sir, indeed.
I love myself. I love my platypus.

Speaker 1 Larry, Larry. which will air live on the No Agenda stream one o'clock central tomorrow.
Speaker 1 My co-hosts, Larry Blender, and I want to thank you for being the perfect role models, which is a nice way of saying that we totally ripped off your show concept.
Speaker 1 But instead of nights, our producers are awarded entry into the cult of scumbags. We swear a lot too.
Speaker 1 They're the future of podcasting, I should mention. And the past.
Speaker 1
I would also like to request a title change. I would like to be Baron Darineau of the Rock and Roll.
with the territory of Southland of Chirac, if it pleases the committee.
Speaker 1 I think you're good to go there. Thank you for your courage and join the Rage.
Speaker 1
Like you, we have yet to find an exit strategy. Ray John, says Darren.
Congratulations, boys. That's great.
Speaker 1
Have you ever listened to the Planet Rage? Yes, a couple of years ago. Well, you should listen to it with regularity.
If only to hear them talk about us, because here's how it goes.
Speaker 1
You know, the boys were talking about this, and here's what they said. We're like the authority of the show.
Yeah, that's what we are.
Speaker 1
What did the boys say? Adam and John over there. I'm doing Larry now.
What did the boys say? Yeah, the boys, yeah, they thought this was good.
Speaker 1 So
Speaker 1
we'll agree with them because that's how it goes. The future of podcasting, everybody.
Planet Rage. Check them out.
And the past. And the past.
Speaker 1 And that concludes for now, because we don't know what we missed. Our executive and associate executive producers, we apologize.
Speaker 1 due to technical difficulties. Your mention may have to wait until Thursday's show, but we will, of course, pick it all up.
Speaker 1 And if you feel that you got missed, send the notes to notes at noagendashow.net. And we look forward to thanking the rest of our supporters, $50 and above, in our second segment.
Speaker 1
Thank you so much for supporting us. Value for value is how it works.
Go to noagendadonations.com, support us. If you want to, you can even set up a recurring donation, any amount, any frequency.
Speaker 1
That's how it works. Value for value, whatever you get out of the show, send it back to us.
The amount is up to you. NoAgenda Donation.
Whoops, NoAgendadonations.com. Sorry about that.
Speaker 1 Thank you, everybody.
Speaker 1 Our formula is this:
Speaker 1 we go out, we hit people in the mouth
Speaker 32 due to climate change.
Speaker 32 Okay,
Speaker 1 I got a noisemaker, too.
Speaker 1 So we have a COP30 wrapped up.
Speaker 1 We should call it Flop30
Speaker 1 because once again, for the 30th time, nobody's happy. Nobody got anything that they wanted.
Speaker 1 And you should note that they had a huge fire when some lithium batteries caught on fire in the middle of the whole thing. It's not in.
Speaker 1 I looked for a report. that said lithium batteries, they kind of changed that to a microwave oven.
Speaker 1 Yeah, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 24 The COP 30 summit limps to the finish line with a climate agreement that fails to include countries' biggest collective demands.
Speaker 24 Unsatisfied with the approved deal, states like Colombia, Panama, Uruguay, and Canada voiced their concerns, forcing the COP president to pause the closing plenary.
Speaker 24 A disappointment shared by NGOs who highlighted the missing roadmap to phase out fossil fuels, a commitment that over 190 countries had agreed to at COP28 in Dubai.
Speaker 24 Petro-states like Russia and Saudi Arabia opposed the transition from oil, coal, and gas.
Speaker 24 The COP president said he would pursue the roadmap as a separate initiative outside of the approved climate agreement.
Speaker 46 I, as president of COP30, will therefore create two roadmaps: one on halting and reverting deforestation, another to transitioning away from fossil fuels in a just, orderly, and equitable manner.
Speaker 24 Among the progress made was tripling financial aid for adapting to climate change to $120 billion per year by 2035.
Speaker 24 Good news for some developing countries, for whom climate finance is more of a priority.
Speaker 1
Yeah, suck it, suckers. You're not getting any money.
No one's going to pay.
Speaker 1 That's all they're there for. And apparently there were more oil and gas lobbyists than ever before at any COP 30.
Speaker 1 But of course, they were. Well, there's never been a COP30.
Speaker 1
Before COP30. Anything, this was COP30.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 There were some batteries burning, but that was closer to home. That was in the port of Los Angeles.
Speaker 47 Thick white and gray smoke swirled from the container ship 1 Henry Hudson.
Speaker 47 More than 100 firefighters worked from fireboats and the shore to douse the flames after it it erupted at the port of Los Angeles Friday night.
Speaker 39
The unknown chemicals in there, the unknown cargo. So we really, we took a defensive posture.
So we were spraying this from the water and from the land.
Speaker 47 All 23 crew members made it out safely.
Speaker 47 Around 100 cargo containers burned, many loaded with dangerous materials, including lithium batteries, creating a dangerous air quality situation for both the public and firefighters.
Speaker 39 We did not know what was in that smoke. We knew that there was some toxicity in there, especially very close to the ship.
Speaker 47 This morning, tugboats pulled the ship out of the port and into Santa Monica Bay to continue containment efforts, allowing the fire department to lift a shelter-in-place order.
Speaker 47 Now, crews are racing to control the fire and track any dangerous contamination from those containers.
Speaker 39 We know what's in every single container, but it's determining exactly which ones had caught on fire.
Speaker 1 Those batteries are just not a good idea.
Speaker 1 Well,
Speaker 1 they're a good idea, except for the one single point of failure.
Speaker 1
If they catch on fire, you can't put them out. They explode.
It's no good.
Speaker 1 I mean, if they didn't do that,
Speaker 1 that would be great. Yes.
Speaker 1 They even package them like a little separately, you know, the way they're set up.
Speaker 1
Everyone can't make a battery bigger than a double A. So, you know, you just stack them all together.
So it's actually a bunch of double A's. But it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1
If one of the double A's goes up, they all go up. They all go.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 Yeah.
Speaker 1 I'm looking at you.
Speaker 1 You got clips left over besides your
Speaker 1 clips. That's a cavalcade of TikTok.
Speaker 1 No, I'm going to say,
Speaker 1
I'm pushing those off. That's good.
Here's a couple of interesting clips. This is the
Speaker 1 underreported. I don't know why the media, you know, Taibbi was moaning earlier that you had the clip, moaning, why the media, they don't cover anything.
Speaker 1 Can I ask you a question before you continue with this? Just
Speaker 1 because you triggered that with
Speaker 1 Matt Taibbi. So we've seen all these women who are victims standing behind Marjorie Taylor Greene out on the Capitol steps, right?
Speaker 1 You saw the video. You saw the pictures.
Speaker 1 Why have I never seen a single interview with any of these women?
Speaker 1 Tell me.
Speaker 1
Well, I'm asking you. Why does no one...
Well, because
Speaker 1 the media is screwed up. They don't have a good...
Speaker 1
At the editor level, they're not making these assignments. It just makes no sense.
Isn't that the story of the century? Why wouldn't you want to hear some salacious details?
Speaker 1 Are they under some kind of gag order? Can they not speak? Well,
Speaker 1 now, that's possible, but
Speaker 1 are they all intelligence assets?
Speaker 1 If any of this was true, don't you think that should be reported? Yes,
Speaker 1 minimally.
Speaker 1 I would love to know. I find it they don't.
Speaker 1 It's unusual. That's what Taibbi said.
Speaker 1 Here's under-reported news that I have. This is the Jordan versus Jack Smith stuff.
Speaker 8 House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan is asking major banks to release documents about financial records they may have released to former special counsel Jack Smith and the Biden Justice Department.
Speaker 8 This comes after Jordan found out that a wireless company had turned over his personal phone records. NTD's Arlene Richards has more.
Speaker 40 Republican Congressman Jim Jordan wants answers from several financial institutions.
Speaker 40 On Friday, Jordan sent letters to more than a dozen banks demanding communications and requests for customer financial data related to former special counsel Jack Smith's investigations.
Speaker 40 Smith was appointed by then President Biden to investigate President Trump for alleged efforts to challenge the results of the 2020 election, including the events of January 6, 2021, and for allegedly withholding classified documents.
Speaker 40 The request for released financial records comes after recent disclosures indicate that Smith's team secretly sought phone records from several GOP senators.
Speaker 40 Jordan has now learned that his own personal phone data was also released.
Speaker 40 In a press release on Thursday, the House Judiciary Committee reported that a request for communications and documents between Verizon Wireless and the Biden Justice Department revealed that Jordan's records were involved.
Speaker 18 Well, it's interesting.
Speaker 18
It's part of this Artic Frost investigation, but they went all the way back to January of 2020. I mean, that was a year before January 6th.
That was a year before the election, for goodness sake.
Speaker 18 But this was for two and a half years.
Speaker 18 Every call you make, who you call, who calls you, how long the call lasts, where you're at when you make the call, for two and a half years.
Speaker 1 Wow. Now, does Congress, who subpoenaed them? That was Jack, the special prosecutor? He has, Jack Smith has that kind of power? I guess he did.
Speaker 1 Wow.
Speaker 1 This is another one of those stories that, like, going back to the Taibbi commentary. Yeah.
Speaker 1 Why isn't this like top of the fold on every newspaper discussing this is all part of the Arctic Frost thing? Yeah.
Speaker 1 This is beyond it. This is out of control, and no major news
Speaker 1 operation is reporting reporting any of this.
Speaker 1 This particular, that's why I get this. That's why we have to listen to NTD to find this stuff out.
Speaker 1
So you're contradicting yourself. There is an outlet reporting this.
It's not major. NTD is, to me, a fringe.
It's very fringe. So let's go to part two.
Speaker 1 Jordan says he wants to know who authorized it. And I want to know if Garland signed off on this.
Speaker 18 I want to know if Chris Ray signed off on this. Lisa Monaco, how did this happen?
Speaker 40 The committee chairman has already been looking into Smith's Trump investigations.
Speaker 40 Now he's probing whether the Biden Justice Department and Smith used financial subpoenas to conduct surveillance on Trump associates, GOP lawmakers, and even Jordan himself.
Speaker 40 Hmm.
Speaker 1
Well, that would irk me. Yeah.
I'd be very... Very, of course, again, nobody's covering any of it.
Hmm.
Speaker 1 So we have here in California, we have two people running for governor that just threw their hats in the ring.
Speaker 1 Wait, didn't the
Speaker 1 Chinese
Speaker 1 Swalwell, didn't he?
Speaker 1 Swalwell is running. Yes,
Speaker 1 I got a clip here. Is Swalwell running?
Speaker 8 Representative Eric Swalwell is officially jumping into California's 2026 governor's race, declaring his run during a late-night TV appearance.
Speaker 8 He says he wants to be a protector for the state, focusing on issues like housing and affordability. Entity's Christina Corona tells us more.
Speaker 45 Democratic Congressman Eric Swalwell made a surprise announcement on Jimmy Kimmel live Thursday, declaring he's running for California governor in 2026.
Speaker 19 This great state needs a fighter and a protector, someone who will bring prices down, lift wages up.
Speaker 19 I came here tonight, Jimmy, to tell you and your audience that I'm running to be the next governor of California.
Speaker 45 His announcement adds another contender hoping to succeed Governor Gavin Newsome when his term ends next year.
Speaker 45 Swalwell is highlighting his national security experience and work on President Trump's first impeachment.
Speaker 1
No one will keep Californians safer than I will. No one.
Nancy Pelosi selected me for the intelligence committee and to help lead the impeachment of a president. Californians will never bend the knee.
Speaker 45 Swalwell says he wants to reshape California's economy, seeing the state should be a place where families can afford to work, live, and buy a home.
Speaker 19 California is the fourth largest economy in the world.
Speaker 1 So should we be a state where you can take your first job, have your first kid, and buy your first home in the same decade? And one where you can fill that home with food and flood it with light?
Speaker 1 California does just dumb enough to elect him.
Speaker 1 Yeah, well, they elected, he used to, he started off as one of the city council members of Danville, and he turned out to help wreck the city
Speaker 1
because he's just an idiot. I mean, he's dumb, and he looks dumb, and he sounds dumb, and now he's just copying Mondami talking points.
Oh, that's what he's doing. Of course, that makes sense.
Speaker 1
You notice that. Yeah, that makes sense.
But here's the other guy running, and this has gotten less attention, but this guy's probably a lunatic. This is Tom Steyer.
Speaker 1 Wait, the billionaire, Tom Steyer? Yeah. Didn't he try to run for president already? Yeah.
Speaker 1 All right.
Speaker 38 California will have a gubernatorial election next year, and a billionaire has entered the race. Philanthropist and businessman Tom Steyer made the announcement on Wednesday.
Speaker 2
I'm Tom Steyer. I wanted to build a business here.
Now it's worth billions of dollars. And I walked away from it because I wanted to give back to California.
Speaker 38 In 1986, Steyer founded Farallon Capital Management, a hedge fund in San Francisco. He ran for president in 2019.
Speaker 38 The Democratic climate activist joins the California race to replace Gavin Newsom as his term ends next year.
Speaker 38 The 68-year-old says he promises to make companies pay their fair share and use that money to fund public schools, build homes that families can afford, and lower electric bills by 25% by ending utility monopolies.
Speaker 38 He also wants to ban corporate political action committee money from state elections. According to Steyer's campaign, he took on the tobacco industry to raise the cigarette tax.
Speaker 1
I'm saying we have a broken government. It's been bought by corporations.
And my question is, who do you think is going to change that?
Speaker 1
Sacramento politicians are afraid to change up this system. I'm not.
They're going to hate this.
Speaker 38 He also led a campaign to impeach President Trump during his first term.
Speaker 1 Yeah, that's where I remember.
Speaker 38 Prominent Democratic candidates in California's race include Congresswoman Katie Porter, Javier Becerra, and former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villa Ragosa.
Speaker 38 Republican candidates include Chad Bianco and former Fox News host Steve Hilton. California voters will vote for a new governor in November 2026.
Speaker 1
A cavalcade of losers. Yep.
Dynamite. Hello.
Dynamite. Wow.
It's going to be whatever.
Speaker 1
You can't get out of here. You can still get out.
You can still get out. Why? It's fun.
No, you said. So I said I can report from here.
You can't.
Speaker 1
Thank God. I mean, that's the best part about our show is that I'm in Texas.
I have a totally different positive view on life.
Speaker 1 Positive view. All the stories you tell me,
Speaker 1 the grid's going to go down,
Speaker 1
one thing after another. What are you talking about? By the way, I've resisted it for a long time.
I think you and I might have to get into Mesh Tastic.
Speaker 1 What? Mesh Tastic. What's Mesh Tastic? Oh,
Speaker 1
okay. Well, I'll send you some links.
Mesh Tastic is
Speaker 1 a 900. It's not some sort of a sex cult, is it? I'm not, I'm not,
Speaker 1 no.
Speaker 1 No.
Speaker 1 That's Nexium. No, this is Mesh.
Speaker 1 Mesh Tastic.
Speaker 1 Wow.
Speaker 1
If you think about it, it sounds like a sex cult. If you think about it.
No, Mesh,
Speaker 1 so we're hams. We're ham radio operators, although how much have we operated lately?
Speaker 1
We still, we have all kinds of gear. We're licensed.
We're licensed, let's put it that way. I'm a general.
Just want to say general.
Speaker 1 You're a technician. But Mesh Tastic is, I think it's 900 megahertz mesh networking.
Speaker 1 And this has been going on for years.
Speaker 1 And it's starting to get to the point where, you know, there's so many of these mesh-tastic devices and repeaters around that we could actually build our own little no-agenda mesh network group,
Speaker 1 which I think would be something fun and worth trying.
Speaker 1 Are you in? Is it you have to be licensed? No, no, no. It's
Speaker 1 so we've been talking about the 2025 version of CB radio, is what you're saying. Not really.
Speaker 1 It's LoRa, so it's low-powered radio networks.
Speaker 1 You actually connect your phone to it.
Speaker 1 CB is low-powered, I should mention. Yeah, but
Speaker 1 it's all digital, so you can actually communicate and send stuff
Speaker 1
with a mobile device. You have one in the drawer.
It would give you a reason to pull that thing out of the drawer from time to time.
Speaker 1 And so
Speaker 1 you can connect with people and, you know,
Speaker 1
digitally. When you say that thing, are you talking talking about my ham rig? Are you talking about my phone in the drawer? Your phone.
Your phone in the drawer. Your phone.
Speaker 1 So this is a phone thing.
Speaker 1 Well, it's a digital network.
Speaker 1 Remember back in the day, oh, it connected.
Speaker 1 Go on.
Speaker 1 Go on.
Speaker 1 Go ahead.
Speaker 1 I wish I had that phrase that Kara uses down. I can't remember how it goes.
Speaker 1
You know, what you do is, here's how you should have done it. Member, but go ahead.
That's how. Yeah, okay.
That's it. I guess that would work.
Yes. Do you? No, I blew it.
I totally blew it.
Speaker 1
I loved it because I've watched her do this and you pointed it out. I never noticed it.
She just does it incessantly. Yes.
So you don't need your phone.
Speaker 1 You can connect to your computer. You can get devices that have a little keyboard on it.
Speaker 1 The whole point is it's encrypted, if you want it to be, and it's meshed. So you're not using any kind of infrastructure that anyone else owns.
Speaker 1 Well, this is something I can see you being into.
Speaker 1 Yes,
Speaker 1 they have a
Speaker 1 offshoot of the Fediverse, which is going to be your
Speaker 1 major ideas.
Speaker 1 So before you know it, it'll be a bunch of Jew haters on this thing. So let's get into it, John.
Speaker 1 Come on, let's get into it, baby.
Speaker 1 That's exactly right.
Speaker 1 oh yeah that'd be fab
Speaker 1 we do have a few people to thank very few actually this is ridiculously small list that adam will take us through Yes, and we start off with Dame Rita from Sparks, Nevada, 133.33.
Speaker 1
And I always have to kind of read her note because it's Dame Rita after all. She says, ITM, John and Adam, you're the best.

I have been to Shang Mai.
Speaker 1 Yes, with
Speaker 1 a Bitcoin donation, 5107.

Speaker 1 Douchebag call out. Shout out to Adam from Yuengi
Speaker 1
Creek, New South Wales, in the United Communist States of Australia. We've both been douchebags for years, but now you're accepting Bitcoin.
I'm finally no longer a douchebag.
Speaker 1 So he's got to call it his buddy douchebag Adam. Douchebag.
Speaker 1
Sheng Mai. You know, there's a lot of problems.
The banks,
Speaker 1 isn't it Thailand that all the banks crack down? You have to now have a digital ID in order to
Speaker 43 have a bank account.
Speaker 1 I think it was Thailand.
Speaker 1 There was some rumor to that effect.
Speaker 1 I'm not sure it's true.
Speaker 1 Well, let us know. Send us another Bitcoin donation with some info.
Speaker 1
Yes, I actually sent this to Catherine, our crypto granny, asking her about this, and she says it's not true. Oh, okay.
Well, I do like that Owen sent us a Bitcoin donation.
Speaker 1
My how things change. Forrest Martin, 5005.
Alex Delgado from Aptos, California, 50. And Baron Alan Bean from Beaverton, Oregon, $50.

So send us a note, notes at noagendashow.net, in case we missed something.
Speaker 1 We'll gladly make that up to you, and we'll probably have a lot of that to be done on Thursday.
Speaker 1
And that's only for PayPal donations. There's still a backup of checks.
Well, I didn't see a single striper. So do you think Stripe also had a problem? Maybe? Maybe.
Speaker 1 Who knows? It's amazing any of this stuff works at all.
Speaker 1 Here is the jobs karma as requested, thanks to Linda Lou.

Speaker 1 Flindner of the Findings House. Now, this is a turkey trot, two-mile walk.
Speaker 1 gathering at 11 a.m. in Spokane, Washington.
Speaker 1 I have no idea what's going on with this, but I hope we get a good meetup report out of it.
Speaker 1
And then we have the 29th Wacheningelderland, the Netherlands. That's the last one for this month.
Then we move into December, and we have quite a few on the calendar for the rest of the year.
Speaker 1
Go to noagendameetups.com. This is where you get connection that brings you automatic protection.
These are your responders, your first responders in an emergency. You have to visit at least one.
Speaker 1
And if you can't find one near you, just start one yourself. You can do it all in one place.
Thank you, Sir Daniel Knight of the Meetups. That is noagendameetups.com.
Always a party.
Speaker 1 Sometimes you want to go hang out with all the nights and days.
Speaker 1 You to be where you won't be triggered on hell lame.
Speaker 1 You to be where everybody feels the same.
Speaker 1 It's like a party.
Speaker 1
Noagendametups.com. We still have John's tip of the day coming.
We've got a cavalcade of slop in the not all AI, by the way, in our end of show mixes.
Speaker 1 But first, to complete how the sausage is made, we'd like to let you be a part of our process here as we pick our end of show ISO. I only have one, and it's not a good one.
Speaker 1 So why don't you do your two first? No, do yours, and I can follow up. Pull the plug.
Speaker 1
Told you. My God.
Told you.
Speaker 1 Well,
Speaker 1
let me guess. It's actually, it would be good for something.
Let me guess. You have some 11 labs ISOs?
Speaker 1 Well,
Speaker 1
here's what's funny this time. I've been moaning and groaning.
Somebody say, I don't see why you don't pay for it. You're always asking for money.
You should be buying this.
Speaker 1
I said, no, they have a free version. So why? And I don't use it, but I total of 10 seconds a week worth of use.
So I'm not
Speaker 1 paying 70 bucks a month or whatever you pay.
Speaker 1 And he's, but Adam
Speaker 1 has a copy. But so I, no,
Speaker 1
I'm not buying it unless I'm starting to use it more seriously. I mean, it's 10 seconds, so I'm not paying 70 bucks for 10 seconds.
I think there's a cheaper tier, like $29.
Speaker 1 No, that's still too much. Yeah.
Speaker 1 They have a free thing, which is I use, but it's that they hit me.
Speaker 1 But they limit you because you're overusing your freeness.
Speaker 1 Oh, yeah, all of 30 seconds a month.
Speaker 1 Yeah, that's how it goes, baby. This stuff ain't free.
Speaker 1
So all of a sudden, I get Spuds Oakley comes back. Somehow it gets back on my list, so I got to use him again.
Oh, you did? Oh, okay, that's good. And so I have two clips with him.
Speaker 1
One is winner. By golly, another winner.
Yeah, that's pretty good. I like that one.
And the other one's better. This show is better than sex.
Speaker 1 No,
Speaker 1 we're doing the better than sex. But first, before we do anything, it's time for John's tip of the day.
Speaker 1 Great advice for you and me. Just the with JCD
Speaker 1 and sometimes at home.
Speaker 1 This was suggested by one of our
Speaker 1
producers, and I thought it was a great idea. He said, Well, I don't know, you know, the guy's always on Leo's show.
Maybe you don't want to play. It's a Steve Gibson product
Speaker 1
from GRC. People should go there, grc.com.
But this is a thing called In Control. This is grc.com/slash in control.htm, a man after my own heart.
Speaker 1 How long has this product been around since the mid-90s?
Speaker 1 Yeah.
Speaker 1 So
Speaker 1 this allows you to
Speaker 1 really turn off your upgrades.
Speaker 1 Oh.
Speaker 1 So it shows you, if you look at it, if you go to the site, you see it. You mean
Speaker 1
your Windows upgrades is what you're saying. Yeah, this is for Windows users.
You, Matt, guys are out of luck, and so is Linux that doesn't need this stuff.
Speaker 1 But yeah, you turn it off permanently so so it doesn't keep pestering you.
Speaker 1 And it doesn't, and it's, and it seems to work.
Speaker 1 It keeps, it'll keep my thing.
Speaker 1 My thing is ludicrous because it tries to upgrade and then it says, oh, you know, I can't anyway, but, but it wastes time and money, and it's going to screw it up one of these days.
Speaker 1
So I would take a look at in control. And the funny thing is, in the process, we're looking for this.
He had another product, which is not the tip of the day, but one I should mention.
Speaker 1 And it's called, this is a really good one. This one's called never 10.
Speaker 1 And this is grc.com, never 10, number 10,
Speaker 1 the
Speaker 1 numerical 10.htm again.
Speaker 1 And this allows, if you're running an old Windows 8 or 7 or something like that. Who's running that?
Speaker 1 Well, I'm sure there's somebody out there, and if they already know about this, I'm sure, because this basically
Speaker 1 kills any attempt to try to install Windows 10 on a Windows 7 or an 8.1 up system that keeps demanding to be upgraded. That may be too late for most people because it's already been done.
Speaker 1 The damage has been done, but I thought this was a funny idea for a product too.
Speaker 1 He should do never 11 because all these systems oh, you got to move it up. Here's what bugs me about 11.
Speaker 1 I've said this before.
Speaker 1 This one nuck I have.
Speaker 1 When 11 first showed up, I said, well, you know, you have to see if you can use it because they have to have this some software on there or some hardware or chip or something that allows you to do some sort of security.
Speaker 1
And so you run it on an old system that's running Windows 10. It says, no, you can't upgrade.
Don't worry about it.
Speaker 1 You can't upgrade because you don't have whatever chip it is or whatever system you got, subsystem. Yeah.
Speaker 1 So all of a sudden now everybody's got to upgrade to 11 system.
Speaker 1 so the whole thing was bogus.
Speaker 1
It's lies. These are lies.
They're just lying, baby.
Speaker 6 Another dynamite tip of the day from the guy who doesn't want to pay for my services.
Speaker 1 Go to tipoftheday.net.
Speaker 1 Creative master you and me, just the tip with JCD
Speaker 1
and sometimes at home. Created by Dana Bernetti.
Yeah, I'm going to start using that guy. That's Todd version 3 model.
I'm going to start using him.
Speaker 1
So I'm just, you know, I don't have to talk about it. He's got a voice.
Yeah, so I won't have to talk that much.
Speaker 1 That'll be the day.
Speaker 1 Hey, coming up next on the No Agenda stream, for those of you listening live, we have just two good old boys.

Speaker 1 leading his pals. Donnie T wiped skid marks from his underwear and grin.
Speaker 1 Let me guess,
Speaker 1 we're going to sound
Speaker 1 White House.
Speaker 16 Protesters voiced their opposition to the military aggression and the killings of
Speaker 16 the people.
Speaker 16 Speaking of AI slops,
Speaker 16 I want everyone to be doing as much AI as possible. I want to flood the internet.
Speaker 16 Slaves of Ketmo Nation Media Assassination, come to their favorite show.
Speaker 16 It's in John Devore act, grooving to the music. Before the ending, I so.
Speaker 16 The mixes they curated are computer-generated. Producers don't come back for more.
Speaker 16 AI slop. Slopping all over the place.
Speaker 16 Slaves, young and old, who listen from the troll room, wondering what they should do.
Speaker 16
It's called AI slop. The mixes that they wanted are conveniently prompted.
Made in a minute or two.
Speaker 16 AI slop.
Speaker 16 They begin to worry about the fate of Adam Curry, turning their minds into goo
Speaker 16 vomiting
Speaker 16 AI slop everywhere.
Speaker 16 No use to complain if you never use your brain.
Speaker 16 These songs are all the same. AI slopes
Speaker 16 again
Speaker 16 AI slop. There it is
Speaker 16 for artists out there to create more AI slop is fulfilling my prayers, which has been slop.
Speaker 1 So, in general, a lot of AI slop, and then I didn't see much else. It was a show day, a slightly slow day.
Speaker 1 So, I hopped inside my tronesuit, jumped into the drone.
Speaker 1 Then it's destination. Crackpop, put this in rotation.
Speaker 1 Alas, the clock, she lacks spare time.
Speaker 1 Procrastination sucks and it should be a crime.
Speaker 1 Not enough minutes to queue up in time.
