Adam Curry, John C.
DeVora.
It's Sunday, November 24, 2024.
This is your award-winning Gimel Nation Media
Assassination episode 1715.
This is no agenda.
Ignoring netmops and broadcasting live from the heart
of the Texas hill country, right here in
FEMA Region No.
6.
In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
And from Northern Silicon Valley, where we're all
hoping Elon Musk buys MSNBC.
I'm John C.
DeVorak.
It's like Bob and Buzzkill.
In the morning.
This is my favorite.
I have people trying to rationalize that to
me.
You don't know what you're talking about, Curry.
What do you not know what you're talking
about?
Elon Musk buying MSNBC.
What about it?
He's the one who hinted at it.
We discussed it on the show.
This is bullcrap.
This is not going to happen.
That's what they said about Twitter.
No, I don't think they said that.
In fact, he didn't want to do the
Twitter deal.
The courts made him.
Yeah, well, that was a little different.
But, if anything, I think he'll...
I think...
No, he's not going to do anything.
And another one is, oh yeah, Trump's going
to merge TruthSocial with Twitter.
I don't think so.
That's a good one.
I don't think so.
Now, I suspect that TruthSocial may connect to
some crypto company.
That would make sense for payments online.
Because that's where all of this is headed.
It's all headed towards...
Do your payments.
One app.
Do everything here.
Don't need anything else.
I guess.
Yeah, I know.
I know.
But, seriously, you don't think that there's any
chance that Elon Musk will buy MSNBC?
Well, he did post something yesterday.
Have you seen the post?
It's got a girl bent over for anal
sex.
Oh, I saw Rachel Maddow crying about this
image.
Yeah.
Continue.
Continue to explain.
And then where her butt is, there's a
big MSNBC logo.
Oh my God.
Elon posted this, by the way.
Of course he did.
And then he has some sort of a
saint-like character in the front saying, Lord,
Lord, keep me from...
I don't want to...
Don't let me sin, kind of a comment.
Deliver me from evil, it said.
Wow.
And it's this saint guy standing there with
the thought bubble.
Yeah, I recommend Elon go very careful with
these things.
He's unleashing powers.
He has no idea how they work.
He's asking for help.
I don't think it's that big of a
deal.
Now, there's a good point.
He's crying for help.
Crying for help.
It's a cry for help.
I think that's a good point.
That's a good point.
So maybe he doesn't...
He knows he's tempted because he's got the
money.
I think it's $333 billion, just to use
the magic number, in net worth.
And he could do it, but he knows
it's a bad idea.
Why would you do that?
I mean, why?
So he could fire everybody.
He's gone off the deep end.
Hmm.
That's pretty crazy.
Yeah, well, you know what?
It would make...
And I said, yeah, no.
I just said, hello.
Well, no, I don't know what I said.
But I think it would make our life
interesting.
Oh, it'd be terrific.
I'm all in on that.
I'm encouraging this stuff.
I have no problem with that.
You know, I've identified something that's happening, and
this is a little unexpected, but Trump derangement
syndrome is highly contagious.
How does that work?
Well, it's spreading to both sides of the
political spectrum.
But it's always been on both sides.
But it's pro-Trump people who now have
Trump derangement syndrome.
What are they?
Oh, okay.
Well, that's different.
Yes.
Well, let me...
And this kind of was...
Is it Trump derangement syndrome in a good
way?
No.
So this was triggered by an email one
of our producers sent to me.
And he says, one more payment and Christmas,
I'm going to be knight.
But it was kind of sad.
But he says...
So his wife and he have had some
issues.
And so he emails me and says, the
wife decided to announce at our first couples
therapy Zoom meeting.
By the way...
Wow.
Here we go.
Okay.
If you're in couples therapy on Zoom, yes,
there's issues.
The wife, he says, decided...
The wife.
And I'm not laughing at this because it's
really, really...
Sounds like you are.
Heartbreaking.
No.
The wife decided to announce at our first
couples therapy Zoom meeting after Trump got reelected.
Oh, he says, I'm remote because he's a
truck driver.
That she's still...
Oh, he probably listens to this show.
Oh, a lot.
A lot.
Yeah.
Truck drivers.
That's our biggest audience.
Backbone of the show and of the country.
And of the country.
Yes.
Coincidental.
He says, she still wants to work on
the relationship and will always love me.
But she's definitely filing for divorce because Trump
and Vance are going to do away with
no contest divorce and also plan to take
away women's rights to birth control.
And she doesn't want any legal connection to
any man.
What?
Where is she getting this?
From Elon's future television company, I guess.
Well, but this...
So this is the derangement syndrome.
This is not the derangement syndrome I'm talking
about, but this is TDS.
I don't know if she's liberal or not.
It's very classic, but...
See TDS, classic TDS.
It's TDS classic.
That's actually a better way of putting it.
TDS classic.
TDS classic.
And when I hear that, I'm like, wow,
she's, she's so mind controlled that she really
believes this, which is just sad and...
It's not sad, it's pathetic.
But now on the other side, the new
contagion is every single appointee that Trump makes.
Everything is filled with, oh, he's a rhino.
That person's compromised.
Israel, Zionists, Jews, no good.
It's rampant.
Oh, that's interesting.
It's TDS new.
It's new TDS versus TDS classic.
Well, I have to say that I've been
susceptible to this.
Ah, you need to be vaccinated.
We need to protect you.
With this Besant guy.
Yes, yes.
The secretary of the treasurer.
So, so he's the guy, the only, in
fact, I think I have a clip of
Jesse Waters discussing him.
I think.
Well, before, and I want you to play
the clip.
But, but this, this is sad because television
and social media networks are taking incredible advantage
of this.
And so this is reinvigorating.
So, you know, we couldn't, the libs are
all gone.
The Dems are all gone.
They're all gone to blue sky.
And now what are we going to yell
about?
We have to get Trump's doing it again.
He has no idea.
He's getting all the deep state back in.
Palantir is going to facial recognize us all.
It's going to be the end of humanity.
Well, this may be we've been looking for
the for an angle.
What's going for an angle?
What's going to be the thing?
Because it was last time was Russian collusion.
And there's always something, you know, and we
couldn't figure it out.
And maybe this is what it is.
It's some sort of enemy within approach.
Well, yeah.
And it is all over the place.
It hasn't really.
I don't watch a lot of Fox.
I find it quite boring and tedious.
I don't think it's very well structured shows.
I'm sure you do.
But I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know if they're doing that there.
But everywhere else, I look, you know, conservative.
They are.
They are to a small to a small
extent.
It's not conservative.
Treehouse is, you know, it's kind of like
one of these blogs.
Tina reads this.
And what is it?
Conservative treehouse.
I never heard of it.
Oh, really?
I think it was never heard of it.
I think it was an outgrowth of maybe
of a Breitbart Sundance.
This guy.
Anyway, it's quite popular amongst conservatives.
But even even in more, you know, we
have friends who are more kind of in
the Manhattan Foundation or, you know, conservative conservative
groups.
They're all doing the same.
And like, oh, no, this is all wrong.
These people are not right.
There's so much spun up noise about these
appointees.
It's just it's it's concerning for the country.
And what do we have a rundown on
the specific problems with each one?
I mean, I I still think a lot
of this is is scheduled.
I have not been convinced otherwise that Matt
Gates was not set up as a straw
man.
Well, we have already said this, that either
these people are set up to detract while
the second income.
I think Pam Bondi is really what broke
broke everybody.
Why?
Oh, no.
You know, she's no good.
I'm just telling him.
Bondi's no good.
This is beyond me.
Hold on a second.
Pam.
I always thought that they wouldn't put Pam
Bondi in at first, but they could put
Matt Gates as the straw man.
And then, OK, OK, whatever.
Bring in Pam Bondi.
Same, you know, another person from Florida.
But she actually has chops.
She's been an attorney general for eight years.
She was a prosecutor.
And she's a very presentable, to say the
least.
Yeah.
But there was people.
What's wrong with her?
I'm just telling you that people bring up
these old case.
Oh, she was involved in this.
She was involved in that.
Oh, that's no good.
She was over here on this.
If you're going to do any work in
your entire life, especially for over decades, you're
going to make some decisions that are going
to piss off someone.
Right.
But this is what TDS class, new TDS
is about.
New TDS.
New TDS.
Coke.
Yeah.
New Coke.
Thank you.
We got it.
We're getting it down.
Yes.
That's what this is about is people.
Oh, it was the George Zimmerman case.
You remember Trayvon Martin?
I do remember the George Zimmerman case.
Trayvon Martin.
Yeah.
She was no good in that.
Why?
What did she do wrong?
It's irrelevant.
It's just that you have to go and
argue about it.
And then people.
Well, you got something.
You just made your point.
Yes, of course.
Let's do not argue about something that took
place 20 years ago.
But it's fueling up.
Well, it wasn't 20 years ago.
The show was around when this happened.
It's fueling up.
And close.
It's fueling up the social media networks.
And everybody has, you know, just because there's
no one left to fight with.
Everybody's on.
Everyone's gone to blue sky where they weep.
It's weeping all day on blue sky.
And so what are we going to fight
about?
Well, we have to fight about these pics.
This is no good.
It's it's incessant.
What I what I kind of this was
a kind of an interesting clip.
I liked this clip before about Trump's appointees.
I thought this was kind of funny.
A flurry of announcements from Donald Trump on
Friday.
The president elect selecting billionaire Scott Besant to
head the Treasury Department.
If confirmed, he would be the first openly
gay Treasury secretary.
Trump has also nominated Russell Vought as director
of the Office of Management and Budget.
Trump has described him as an aggressive cost
cutter and deregulator.
Vought is one of the architects of Project
2025.
Trump has called the project's proposals, which include
restrictions on abortion pills, birth control and Medicare
access, as well as eliminating federal agencies, extreme.
For Labor Secretary Trump selecting Oregon Congresswoman Lori
Chavez, the Raymer, who lost her reelection bid
earlier this month.
The president elect also naming his first black
nominee this term.
NFL veteran and conservative commentator Scott Turner to
head the Department of Housing and Urban Development
in the health care space.
Trump announcing his choice for surgeon general Dr.
Jeanette Nishiwata, calling her a fierce advocate and
strong communicator for preventative medicine and public health.
And to lead the food and drug.
Administration.
Marty McCarry, a Fox News regular who pushed
back against COVID lockdowns.
She's also tapping former Florida Congressman Dave Weldon
to lead the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, a powerful agency that sets vaccine standards
and responds to disease outbreaks.
Weldon, like Robert F.
Kennedy Jr., has been skeptical of vaccines.
Vaccine research and how the government tracks adverse
reactions.
All of these selections are cabinet positions and
will need to be confirmed by the Senate.
To your point, if you're around for 20
years, there's going to be stuff that people
look at and go, oh, that wasn't great.
Or you did.
Or you were on the wrong side of
that or whatever.
Yeah.
Me and the mouse.
Is that we miss the mouse in your
pocket?
Is that the one?
And what is me and the mouse?
I know what there's no evidence.
There's no the actual mouse.
Yes, there's no there's no evidence.
Yeah, precisely.
But yeah.
Yeah.
I'm a schmuck.
Yeah.
You were wrong.
Perpetually wrong.
Wrong.
You're wrong.
You're wrong.
Yes.
I've been called wrong for various things, by
the way.
And there's one thing that was extremely wrong
about and no one has ever caught it.
And I'm not going to tell you what
it is.
But anyway, continue.
I'm sorry.
What?
You can't let that dangle out there like
that.
I mean, how I sure can.
I could kill over dead tomorrow and we
never know.
Yeah.
I'll reveal it'll be during the season of
reveal.
I'll bring it out.
People also say you were wrong on the
iPad, but I've never I've never really followed
that one.
I'm not.
I mean, I don't think so.
At the time we we were all laughing
about the iPad.
We're saying, well, you're going to walk down
the street with this giant iPhone next to
your head.
I remember making those jokes.
I think that was just.
Yeah, that was.
I think that was pretty much what I
think.
You know, only sing when I'm singled out
for something very specific.
There was I think that's where you can.
It happened in a conversation on a panel.
It was like was Twitter or something.
Yeah, it's the meaningless.
But I'm still good on my no moon
landing.
Take me back to the moon and I'll
shut up.
So I'm always on the wrong side of
that, according to people.
But it doesn't really matter is the point
is that people are craving.
You know, you have to be careful of
the ways of the world because it pollutes
your soul.
This is what's happening.
Oh, man.
Here we go.
People's souls are being corrupted.
They've been corrupted.
Give me a they're not being corrupted.
They're corrupted.
Our job, our service to no agenda nation,
not outside of it, to no agenda nation
is, you know, we've always said we resize
your amygdala.
We need to work on this again because
people are spinning up and spinning out and
they're going to start dying off.
The only thing is by that we mean
quitting the show.
I'm actually talking about dying off turnover on
this show.
That's annoying to me.
We have people like Dame Tanya over here
that used to live in the area.
Yeah.
And she hasn't listened to the show for
years.
We had a whole social network.
I don't know whatever happened to the anonymous
lesbian.
She used to be a huge fan and
she hasn't communicated at all.
Yeah.
I mean, a lot of people have stuck
with us forever, but yeah, the turnover is
interesting.
We have to bring in new people, which
is, you know, annoying.
Well, we need a new crisis.
I'm trying to identify one.
Here's the crisis.
The crisis is new TDS.
We got to calm down.
New TDS.
Go outside.
Look at the blue sky.
Sniff the clean air.
Guess I have two.
I have two clips.
I don't have the Jesse Waters clip.
I do have two clips from NPR discussing
these new Trump picks.
Okay.
And they're both actually from different parts.
They're not the same.
It's not like a continuation of the same
clip, but they're both from NPR.
One is like a quick announcement.
The other one is an elaborate quick announcement
done by a different show.
But let's go with new Trump picks live
from NPR News in Washington.
I'm Janine Herbst, president elect Donald Trump.
Today nominated Brooke Rawlins as secretary of the
Department of Agriculture.
She served as the director of the Domestic
Policy Council in his first administration.
Trump also tapped billionaire investor Scott Besant as
his treasury secretary.
That's a position with widespread responsibilities in economic,
regulatory and international affairs.
NPR's Scott Horsley has more.
He'll probably get a friendly reception from the
new GOP Congress if he's confirmed.
One of his first jobs will be getting
an extension of Trump's 2017 tax cuts, parts
of which are set to expire next year.
He'll likely be pushing on an open door
when it comes to cutting taxes, although that
would probably add to the federal debt, which
we learned just yesterday has now surpassed $36
trillion.
Yeah, baby.
Rocking and rolling.
So they had to put a negative thing
in there in these basic reports.
They don't mention he's gay.
Jesse Waters did.
But nobody...
No, it's very interesting.
Only that one report I had is about
him being openly gay.
They don't want to see it.
Jesse Waters is the only one on Fox
who's mentioned it.
I wish if I had this clip, because
in the report, Jesse says, the gays.
He's been listening to this.
So we have no turnover on Jesse Waters.
He's still with us.
So the gays...
And he's married.
He's married to some guy named John, as
a matter of fact.
But he's one of those...
It used to be called Log Cabin Republicans,
which were referring to the gays in the
Republican Party.
It breaks the narrative of the dumb Dems.
It breaks the narrative.
It does break the narrative.
Now, the thing that bothers me about this
Besant guy to jump into new TDS is
that he's a member of the CFR.
If it's not CFR, it's WEF.
Oh, no.
He's a young global leader of WEF.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Okay, this is the second.
This is...
I don't know if there's something funny about
the way he did that.
So here's the second version of the same
report.
The next Trump administration is fast taking shape.
A quick update on the latest round of
picks.
This afternoon, President-elect Donald Trump named Brooke
Rollins as his pick for Agriculture Secretary.
Rollins was a policy advisor in the first
Trump administration and in recent years has headed
a think tank closely aligned with Trump's agenda.
A few other names offer clues about how
Trump will govern as well.
He named Russ Vogt to head the Office
of Management and Budget, a key post for
directing federal spending.
Vogt was a leading architect behind Project 2025,
a conservative plan for a second Trump administration
that Democrats tried to make a major campaign
issue and that Trump repeatedly tried to distance
himself from.
Trump said in a statement that Vogt will,
quote, dismantle the deep state, end quote.
Another noteworthy appointment is Sebastian Gorka, who's been
nominated as the new senior director for counterterrorism.
Gorka served in Trump's White House as a
counterterrorism advisor back in 2017.
And then NPR reported that congressional Democrats alleged
Gorka had connections with anti-Semitic groups in
Hungary, something Gorka denied.
As a small production note, interestingly, these were
from two different NPR shows.
The first one had channel bias towards the
right channel.
The left one had channel bias towards the
left channel.
That's funny.
Yeah, I don't know why that is.
It's not typical.
Now, this Gorka thing is interesting because Gorka
and Bannon, when they were both part of
the original Trump team at the beginning of
his 2016 term, and they were rousted by
John Kelly.
John Kelly, who was the chief of staff
at the time, was something that seems like
a prick to me, this guy.
He's a guy who comes out and was
saying he hates Trump, for one thing.
So this is like what kind of a
Marine general would go into the office and
then start saying bad things about their boss?
You have to be something of an asshole.
And Kelly seemed as though his job was
to get rid of Bannon mainly, which he
did.
He ousted Bannon, and the story behind that
has never been told by Bannon that I
know of.
And then he also got rid of Gorka,
who he didn't like.
And Gorka is something of a blowhard.
I don't know how he came back.
He must have some pictures of somebody.
That's very interesting.
I love CBrooklyn1112 because he's infected by new
TDS.
Like Mossad connection.
I forgot that one.
I forgot the Mossad connection.
Oh, yeah.
And he also explains...
The Mossad killed Epstein is the latest, by
the way.
Well...
Whitney Webb, I'm sure, is saying that.
Whitney Webb.
Yeah, slowly I turned.
The reason for our turnover, according to the
trolls, you guys need to be more consistent
in your beliefs.
We're very consistent in our beliefs.
Explain.
Don't you think?
I think...
Our belief is to be open-minded.
We're extremely consistent with this open-mindedness.
Yeah, we're open to changing.
We're not sitting around as a couple of
ideologues going on and on with kind of
a fixed-in-stone kind of attitude about
everything, because we're not.
There's dumb crap that goes on on both
sides.
I think they want us to be Republicans.
Yes.
Yes.
Exactly.
I was a Republican.
I was a Democrat, I was a Republican,
I was an Independent, and now I'm non
-affiliated, and I like it this way.
I was a Ron Paul guy at the
very beginning.
That's right.
Well, actually, everyone's had their moment with Libertarianism.
But he was Tea Party.
That was the Tea Party days, not the
Libertarians.
Then the Tea Party got hijacked, and then
somehow he was kicked out.
They got hijacked by that Texas guy.
What Texas guy was that?
What's his name?
I can almost think of his name.
He was one of the Texas congressmen.
He hijacked the party.
A conservative Texan guy.
But he wasn't really Tea Party.
This is probably good to listen to.
I'll think of his name.
This is the NBC overview.
Then we can tick them off.
We can tick the boxes.
Trump's flurry of cabinet picks.
Tonight, President-elect Trump choosing Brooke Rollins to
lead the Agriculture Department, saying the Texas native
will spearhead efforts to protect American farmers.
Rollins, who runs a conservative think tank, is
also an alum of Trump's first term, serving
as his Director of Domestic Policy.
The appointment coming after a barrage of announcements
late Friday night.
The President-elect naming nine key appointees, most
in two areas the new White House will
be focusing on, public health and the economy.
Come on up, Scott.
Former Treasury Secretary Scott Besant, a hedge fund
manager and major donor and economic advisor to
the Trump campaign.
Major donor?
Besant expected to make good on Trump's promises
to cut taxes and raise tariffs on imports.
And I let it be known that the
tariffs will be about 100 percent.
The President-elect also tapping Oregon Congresswoman Lori
Chavez-Durima for Labor Secretary.
And Russell Vogt to return as Director of
the Office of Management and Budget.
Vogt has written that a president should take
more control of the executive branch.
What?
The whole notion of an independent agency should
be thrown out.
Trump also picking a team of doctors to
work with his choice for Health Secretary Robert
F.
Kennedy Jr. I'm going to let him go
wild on health.
I'm going to let him go wild on
the food.
The team to include former Florida Congressman Dr.
Dave Weldon for CDC Director, Fox News Medical
Contributor Dr. Jeanette Neshiswat for Surgeon General, and
Johns Hopkins Surgeon and Researcher Dr. Marty McCary
to head the FDA.
All of them expected to be disruptors for
rapidly changing how medicines and food are evaluated.
And what is scary and dangerous to health?
It's not RFK Jr. It's the food pyramid
lie that's been out there for 60 years.
The President-elect also making former aide Sebastian
Gorka a senior advisor on counterterrorism after he
only had a temporary low-level security clearance
during Trump's first term, according to a then
senior U.S. official.
Yeah.
So, I mean, why no one is yelling
about Gorka is beyond me.
That's the wild guy.
Also, not many talking about Witkoff.
That seems to be kind of passé.
Which one's Witkoff?
He will be the Middle East envoy.
U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has tapped
Stephen Witkoff as his special envoy to the
Middle East.
Witkoff, a real estate investor and a close
ally of the incoming president, played a key
role in raising funds from the Jewish business
community for Trump's presidential campaign.
I know this man very well.
President Trump is as kind and compassionate a
man as I've ever met in my lifetime.
He's no stranger to the Gulf.
Having worked in U.S. real estate deals
with nations like Qatar, but his appointment, in
spite of his lack of diplomatic experience, comes
at a time when diplomacy is increasingly crucial
as Israel intensifies its devastating offensive in Palestine's
Gaza.
Witkoff is a member of the Israeli army
and is a vocal supporter of Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has an ICC warrant
out for his arrest over charges related to
war crimes.
He was in attendance during Netanyahu's speech to
U.S. Congress, calling it a spiritual experience.
He has called Trump the strongest and most
vocal supporter of Israel in generations.
Witkoff is the latest addition to a long
list of picks tapped for Trump's second term
in office.
Well, who are we kidding here?
Well, what's going to change is the economy
is going to take a big dump.
Well, not right away.
It's been booming and it's going to continue
to do so.
Well, the timing is, you never exactly know
the timing.
And what will...
No, the timing is always, yes, this is
a fact.
And you never know the causation.
If you study all the stock market crashes
over history, the causations are always different.
And they're only available to you in hindsight.
You can't...
Give me three.
Give me three.
So nothing is the same?
Nothing is...
There's never been an identical trigger?
No, there's...
For example, in the 70s, the causation was
this thing called stagflation.
Well, wait a minute, wait a minute.
Didn't that have to do with the 71
going off the gold standard?
Didn't that just...
No, it already...
It crashed in 69.
It crashed before...
Going off the gold standard was an attempt
to correct the problem.
No, the gold standard thing took place after
the crash.
The crash took place in 69.
I remember it very well.
And then it lingered until you had this
high inflation rate and you had this thing
called stagflation.
That's never happened before.
Well, we came...
We thought we came close.
The recent 2007, 2008 thing was a liquidity
crisis.
And it had to do with the letters
of credit.
It had to do with these mortgage-backed
bonds, these bull crap mortgage things that were
just useless.
And they were shipped to Europe mostly, who
mocked us for doing them.
And then they found out that they were
stuck with most of them.
That's a brand new idea.
I like that one.
What I'm seeing, though, is a global push.
So if you want to talk conspiracy, it
appears to me that the United States, Russia,
and China are colluding together to enter into
a global war economy.
And it makes sense for everybody, because then
we just hunker down.
We all got to build stuff.
We have to build a missile shield.
You got to build a ship.
Well, that's the closest you can get to
controlling the public.
Yeah, but it seems like that's where it's
going.
And oh, man, NATO and also the health
care industry, they're all doing everything they can,
also COP 29.
Please, let's not do that.
We'll do that later.
Because the whole idea of Obama interrupted by
Trump, but then into Biden, the whole idea
was the new economy is green.
So that means new opportunities, mainly for people
to have meetings and eat steak and fly
in private jets and go everywhere for these
meetings three times a year.
Lots of meetings.
But it's like solar panels and windmills and
electric vehicles, all of these things.
That was supposed to be the new economy.
And Trump is coming and saying, no, no,
no, we're going to stick with what we
have.
And that's that's a big disruptor.
And so now we see besides the fact
that it's a failed idea, we see Germany,
which is the motor of the European Union,
no Germany, no European Union.
And they can't.
They're having trouble manufacturing things because of a
lack of affordable energy.
So what are you going to do?
Well, if you just say if you just
say, oh, there's war.
And I think that.
It seems that, you know, there's peace is
coming in Ukraine.
You know, Zelensky is even openly kind of
talking about how we're you know, how we're
going to do this and we're going to
have a buffer.
Actually, the buffer zone thing is interesting.
Let me see.
Where is it?
I have him here somewhere.
I think it's maybe it's maybe it's this
one.
A formal invitation has long been on Zelensky's
wish list.
But in the transatlantic alliance, it has been
greeted with resistance from many members.
And that means Ukraine needs other options to
assure its security if it reaches a peace
deal with Russia.
Ukraine will not be going into NATO.
There has to be, however, some form of
guarantee so that Ukrainians understand that the Russians
simply won't start this over next year.
And that certain elements of the West, particularly
the US, UK, France, will be ready to
stand in should that take place.
That means bilateral security guarantees.
And I think those are much, much, much
more likely than any kind of NATO arrangement.
Ukraine has already entered into bilateral security agreements
with 27 of its allies.
They pledge long term support for Ukrainian self
-defense by providing assistance to boost Ukraine's military
capabilities and shore up Ukraine's economy and governance.
But they do not contain any commitments to
come to Ukraine's defense with the deployment of
armed forces in response to future Russian aggression.
Yeah, that's not the one somewhere.
I have a clip where they talk about
the buffer zone, which will be, you know,
in this region where supposedly 11000 Koreans are
walking around.
So that's cursed because where the Koreans are,
they're not in Ukraine.
No, they're.
Well, but remember, remember, Russia doesn't want it
to be part of the buffer zone.
No, but you remember the what they're talking
about.
I'm not saying that's what the deal will
be.
They're talking about is that, you know, 10
square kilometers that Ukraine went into.
Look at us.
Look at what we did.
We're awesome.
We're winning.
That would be part of the buffer zone.
I mean, this is come.
This is coming to an end.
And so they're already trying to figure out,
OK, how do we set everybody up?
You know, sign up the European Union.
Oh, you know, we got it.
We got to have all kinds of stuff.
We got to supply Ukraine with everything except
nuclear weapons.
We got to supply with everything.
So we have to have the war economy
created.
I mean, that that just seems like and
China, of course, for us, it will be
China.
And the Patsy in the middle is going
to be Taiwan.
For all we know, they're in on it,
too.
This is this is the kind of stuff
that you have to look at.
You can step back and say, first, we're
not going to die.
There's not going to be to be nuclear
war.
This is just it hasn't stopped.
It hasn't stopped.
People are just.
Well, no, we have a show clip which
emphasizes it is quite funny.
Helped by here's Putin's former form.
Let me see his former foreign minister.
Boy, I'm really failing today.
OK, no, I'm not OK.
Where's his where's his former foreign minister?
Let me see.
Putin, his current foreign minister.
No, this is Sergei Markov.
Sergei Markov.
He's the former spokeshole, not for minister, but
spokeshole for Putin.
And he goes on the BBC, which is
what you do if you want to communicate
something to the international community.
And he says, oh, this is the war
which you started against us.
I think it's extremely, extremely dangerous.
He's good, right?
Do you think President Putin would be prepared
to use nuclear weapons?
Not now.
For sure.
I think the response could be also by
sending missiles from American military base on the
Polish and German territory.
It's one of the possible solutions.
But I think that Biden, Macron and Steiner,
as they want escalation, which could lead to
the nuclear war.
And from my understanding, in the worst scenario,
the nuclear war happened before Christmas of this
year.
Probably you will be not able to say
Merry Christmas because you will stay in the
hole trying to hide away your family from
the nuclear catastrophe.
It can develop very, very quickly.
We're not going to be able to say
Merry Christmas because we'll be hiding in the
hole.
Now, what he mentioned there, this is the
new narrative.
And I haven't really heard it in the
U.S. yet, which Putin is thinking about.
I'm thinking about attacking U.S. bases in
Poland.
And I got a, I think, a message.
Yeah, the ones that have the missiles.
I've heard this.
Yeah.
So this is from a very reliable source.
Not the old reliable sources.
Not the reliable source.
They had the quantum dots.
No, I've since upgraded my sources.
A very close relative is a field grade
officer, an army special operator of this source
of mine who is now deployed in Poland.
He believes that a Russian attack on Poland
would be suicide for Russia.
He concedes that it would be a war
of attrition, but believes that the U.S.
and Poland would F them up.
As an old veteran myself, says my source,
I'm familiar with the American weaponry, but our
arsenal isn't the only reason he thinks we
prevail.
His comment was that the Poles are excellent
warriors dedicated to the nation and to this
day have a never again mentality about Russian
meddling.
This is not the kind of country you
want to attack, especially when it's backed by
a power like the United States.
Worth mentioning, Poland is significantly less corrupt than
Ukraine, at least according to sources.
Well, it has to be.
Everything is.
Everything is less corrupt than Ukraine.
Um, you know, and just as a as
a side note on the whole, it's like
a reasonable report to me.
Yeah.
A side note on the whole nuclear war.
Oh, we got to be so afraid.
Remember the pamphlets we played the clip from
that was going around?
Oh, they're handing out nuclear war pamphlets in
Sweden.
So boots on the ground from one of
our Swedish producers.
Um, this fact is this pamphlet has been
around since the Cold War, has always been
a part of the Swedish civil defense.
There was a long period of time in
the early 2000s when the government decided there
won't be any more war.
And thus, the pamphlet was discontinued.
But in 2020, we ran out of toilet
paper and white bread.
The pamphlet was reinstated together with state radio
shows like beard is cop readiness.
So this is nothing new whatsoever.
Wait, you're telling me that because of the
shortage of toilet paper, they did this as
a distraction?
No, I think to use it as toilet
paper is what I would know.
I don't think that's true.
But I'm thinking it's obviously a distraction.
No, it's a distraction.
That would be the only way you run
out of toilet paper.
So what?
Look what's going to happen.
Yes, there's nothing compared to what's coming.
Um, I do have, um, if, if you
want to dive into it for a second,
CBS had a pretty interesting series of medium
range clips here about the ballistic missiles.
We probably saw the clips, Russia deployed a
ballistic missile and it popped open the payload
and then five, uh, five, uh, separate, uh,
charges came out and blew blew up some
stuff there in Ukraine.
And this, this may be interesting to get
some thoughts on NATO is set to hold
an emergency meeting on Tuesday after Russia tested
a new intermediate range ballistic missile on some
tests.
It seemed like a real, real deployment to
me on Ukraine.
The new missiles have the ability to carry
nuclear capable weapons.
Vladimir Putin says the law, I have the
capability to carry a nuclear weapon.
I mean, why is this supposed to be
scary?
I don't know why, you know, they, you're
right.
This is an interesting point.
They've been saying this as though it's some
new thing.
If you remember, I think it was even
as far back as the sixties or seventies
when you were a little kid, they, uh,
they were talking about new, uh, nuclear tipped,
uh, artillery shells where you had a big
gun and you could shoot this, shoot us
an artillery shell five miles.
And it was a nuke.
Now, if you could do that, obviously you
can put a nuke on anything out of
Volkswagen.
And I mean, so, so why are they
emphasizing this?
It's dumb.
No, it's to spin you up and get
you ready for the war economy.
When I was a kid in the seventies
in Europe, it was the neutron bomb.
Yes.
I remember Reagan.
Well, that was really promoted by Reagan in
the eighties.
More than I think at the set.
I know it was a developed, I think
it was developed in the seventies.
Somebody has to look it up, but I
know Reagan was seriously discussing them and he
got shut down for talking about it too
much because just so people know what the
neutron bomb was.
And, and there were kids, kids get out
of school early in Holland to march against
the American use of the neutron bomb, which
I think was also a pointer sister song,
but the neutron bomb would kill the people,
but save the buildings.
Yes.
It was a bomb that was a, it
was a hydrogen bomb type device that didn't
have any, didn't explode necessarily.
It just gave out copious amounts of, of
deadly neutrons by the load and it would
kill everything within like a 10 mile radius,
dead, anything that was living.
But then you could move back in later
into the building, you could just haul the
corpses out and you had a whole town
to yourself.
Yeah.
You just turn off.
What a great idea.
Turn off the tea kettle and you're good
to go.
Neutron bomb.
The new missiles have the ability to carry
nuclear capable weapons.
Russian president Vladimir Putin says the launch was
in response to Ukraine's recent use of long
range missiles provided by the U S inside
his country.
CBS news, senior national court, national security correspondent,
Charlie Daggett joins us now from the Pentagon.
So Charlie, the fact that Russia is testing
these intermediate missiles signal to Ukraine, the U
S and its allies.
Does it change the trajectory of this war?
I love the testing.
What is this testing?
They deployed it.
They deployed the missile.
I started to test before you continue with
this clip.
There's also a couple of other things that
came out.
The way they describe it as a medium
missile.
They want one group described as a, as
the first use of an ICBM in the
history of the world that actually got deployed.
And then another group news group I'm talking
about described as the hypersonic test missile.
Yeah.
Three, three kilometers per second.
So it's either hypersonic ICBM or whatever this
other thing is they're talking about.
And they're all had nerves and they're all
could be nuclear tipped.
And it was a test or something.
I don't know.
This is terrible reporting.
And they had a CGI animation of it
spinning in the air.
I'm telling you that when I saw that
first time I saw that video, that's what
the first thing came to mind.
This is CGI.
Well, that was CGI.
I've seen, as I've only seen the CGI
version, you know, like, uh, like the, like
that guy in the test.
They're not presenting it as CGI.
They're presenting it as a, somebody took a
video with their camera or something.
Yeah, right.
Phone.
It does, Lindsay.
It does for the people that I've spoken
to.
While some U.S. officials say Russia likely
only possesses a handful of these experimental missiles,
I've been told they pose a unique threat.
So they're capable of reaching 3000 miles.
They carry a multiple payload system.
It's called a multiple independently targetable re-entry
vehicles.
Oh, I like multiple independently targeted re-entry
vehicle.
How about missile?
Just missile.
This is important because as the missile descends,
those multiple warheads can be released at different
speeds and different directions.
Amazing.
Potentially spread over a thousand miles.
So that combined with its lofted trajectory challenges
even the most advanced of Ukraine's air defense
systems.
So the missile that we saw at Dnipro
focused on one area and we've seen some
of the videos.
So it came over overhead and then unleashed
six warheads down to a concentrated area.
It's unlike anything that they've seen on the
battlefields of Ukraine.
And yes, the term that they've used here,
they're not worried, but they're concerned.
Wait a minute.
There's no worry.
It's just concerned.
Well, now comes.
This is very troubling to me because I
know language changes over time, but I feel
like when you use the term decimated or
decimate, it still hurts me to say, oh,
you mean completely wiped out?
No, that's 10%.
Has there ever really been a change in
the dictionary term of decimated?
I think if you look at definition number
three or four, when they get down to
the newer versions, I think it does have
a connotation that it's wiped out when it
doesn't really mean that it's technically doesn't mean
it.
Okay.
So I'm looking at Miriam Webster, which is
what we usually use.
Yeah.
Because they switch their definitions faster than anybody
else.
So they still have it as a transitive
verb to select by lot and kill every
10th man.
Yeah, that's the original.
That should be number one definition.
It is number one.
Yeah.
Definition number two, to extract a tax of
10%.
Number three, to reduce drastically, especially in number
and then three B to cause great destruction
or harm to.
So, but when you're talking in military terms,
you know, I feel that you should decimate
means a 10th.
Anyway, here's the here's the problem.
The days are over.
Could Russia essentially decimate Ukraine with a handful
of these missiles they have left?
Well, as you know, not decimate, but just
for instance, right.
So we've seen and I've been there when
Russia has unleashed a number of, you know,
S-300 missiles, which are anti aircraft missiles.
They get plenty of reach.
They get the Shahad Iranian drones that can
come in.
But say, Lviv, right?
Lviv is way far west, very close to
the Polish border.
This comes in at a different trajectory than
a cruise missile, which is easier to intercept
and the missile defense systems are in place
to do that.
But if they were to launch, if Russia
were to launch a number of these missiles
at the same time, Ukraine would really struggle
to take them down.
And this, I think what we saw in
Dnipro, only talking about maybe 750 miles from
Russia, they could throw anything at Dnipro and
they have.
I think that was messaging to say, this
is what we've gotten.
This is what we can do with it.
That was messaging.
OK, well, how will Ukraine respond?
How is Ukraine expected to respond?
Well, you know, mostly they'll be asking for
more defense systems.
They're going to need, you know, patriot defense
systems.
They're going to need real defense.
Real defense.
There's concern, you know, for the first time,
really, I believe, since the war began, they
had to shut down their parliament.
Just yesterday, the United States shut down its
embassy.
We had had a warning that a new
missile was going to be tested days before
it happened, and we reported that.
So that just shows you that in a
place where air raid sirens are pretty much,
you know, a fact of daily life, some
people don't even rush to the shelters.
They are now because of the unpredictability of
what this weapon poses.
Now, the reason why I said earlier that
it seems like these three major superpowers, Russia,
the United States and China, are all in
cahoots is because, you know, we're going to
have to change them.
The reason for NATO is so we can
standardize the weapons, you know, so that you
kind of lock everybody in.
Yes, standardize it on Lockheed, Boeing.
Yeah, you lock them into our U.S.
standards, you know, so you get, you know,
you have to use your 538 quarter-inch,
whatever, instead of, you know, wrench 10-11,
10-12, whatever it is in Europe, with
centimeters.
So, and you want to have the standardized
bullets and shells, all of that, so you're
locked into our defense system.
So they're going to do that one way
or the other.
Now, to add to it so that we
can have another market to sell to, I
think that's the whole reason for this North
Korean nonsense.
South Korea says Russia supplied air defense systems
to North Korea in exchange for troops to
support the Kremlin's war with Ukraine.
What more are we learning about this?
Yeah, so this came from intelligence and South
Korean foreign ministry, who essentially, underlining what they
said was going to happen, certainly with the
America, the United States and others were worried
about.
North Korea sent 11,000 troops to Russia.
Why are we worried about it?
Why are we worried about it?
Why are we worried?
It's South Korea.
I mean, no offense.
But, oh, so worried, so worried.
No, we're not.
You walk on the street, you're worried about
South Korea.
Will anybody say, oh, yeah, I'm so worried
about South Korea?
No.
Yeah, you're right.
There's no worry.
We don't need that.
They immediately started saying, well, wait a minute,
what do they get in return?
And this seems to be an indication.
So they have anti-aircraft missiles that are
being supplied to North Korea.
Not that big a deal.
But in terms of the technology, what they're
more capable of, I mean, North Korea's got
their own air defense systems.
This is new because it's Russian.
They're also trading technology.
According to the same statement, the Russians are
providing North Korea with oil.
And that is against sanctions, not that it
much matters with those two countries.
But you cut off Russia from the financial
system.
You forbid the EU to take in oil,
which, of course, they're still doing.
And then, oh, well, it's against sanctions.
Russia is supplying oil to North Korea.
That's no good.
It's that sort of cooperation.
You know, this is a two-way street.
11,000 North Korean troops, when you consider
tremendous losses that Russia is suffering, is really
just a drop in the ocean.
You have to ask yourself what North Korea
is getting in exchange for that.
Oh, what are they getting in exchange?
You have to ask yourself.
I don't want to ask myself this.
Last clip.
So.
Yeah, who cares?
Everybody's got there to coin your phrase.
Tit in a ringer about, you know, Trump
coming in and NATO.
So time for an emergency meeting.
Ukraine is hoping for concrete and meaningful outcomes
at next week's emergency NATO meeting.
What does Kiev asking for?
They're going to be asking for more of
those defense systems.
Do you know, Lindsey, that is what I
just read that statement.
And that's where the statement ends.
But it's a refrain that we've heard time
and time again.
They want concrete productivity out of these meetings.
You know, they can't have platitudes.
NATO is concerned.
Poland especially is concerned about the development of
this new weapon.
Russia has got plenty of weapons that can
reach NATO countries.
It's what this weapon represents.
And I also have to keep drilling down
about this.
You know, the United States just had a
275 million dollar aid package promised to Ukraine.
There's something like five billion dollars in aid
on the table right now.
It's called a surge that the Biden administration
said that they want to get.
I can see the board meetings at Raytheon
already.
Hey, hey, Bob, there's five billion on the
table.
How are we going to get that?
We want most of that.
That's our money.
To Ukraine.
And the clock is ticking.
You know, the Ukrainians know it.
The Russians know it.
We're headed to a new administration.
Nobody's entirely sure whether that support for Ukraine
will continue past January 20th.
So there's very much a hurry up offense,
particularly with the development of these weapons.
The United States has allowed these attack.
That's that's that's that's a good catch.
Hurry up offense.
Since whenever has a hurry up offense been
a good strategy?
I don't think it's a good strategy.
It's always a good strategy.
I think you need to know why the
reason it's a football term and it refers
to a hurry up offense, which is hard
to do because it poops you out.
But if you can pull it off, it
keeps the other team that so they can't
do any substitutions during the during the play.
They have to keep their guys in there
and then you keep running and drag it.
And if you can outlast them in terms
of of the ability to have more stamina,
then you'll they'll be beaten back and you'll
beat the crap out of them with a
hurry up offense.
So it's a it's a it's a good
strategy is the way you can do it.
Is the wishbone a part of the.
Something else that's a sexual position on it.
So there's very much a hurry up offense,
particularly with the development of these new weapons.
The United States has allowed these attack them's
longer range weapons to be used on Russian
soil.
That's a major development.
And it's one of the reasons that President
Putin said he's unleashed this new weapon directly
because of that.
And Britain's storm shadow.
So we have seen a huge escalation in
the past week or so.
Ukraine's been out of the headlines for a
long time.
We have teams there.
Once again, this is front page news.
We're talking about it now.
This is going to accelerate and increase as
we get closer to January.
So mockingbird media, the TV stations fighting for
their lives.
They got teams out there again because their
military sponsors demand it.
We demand coverage.
We have to have coverage.
We need that.
There's five billion on the table right now.
It's just a drop in the bucket compared
to our trillion dollar annual budget.
But we want it for Christmas.
It's our Christmas bonus.
And the relatively young German foreign minister.
What's her name?
Her name is Annalena.
Annalena Baerbock.
She weighs in.
We are in the midst of a geopolitical
power play by a few fossil fuel states.
Their playing board is the backs of the
poorest.
Fossil fuel states.
Fossil fuel states?
Yes.
What does that mean?
It means America, Russia.
What other fossil fuel states are there?
It's us.
Us and Russia.
This is a power play.
Is that bad?
Is she implying that fossil fuel states are
a bad group of mean people or what?
Yes, because they don't have any energy.
They have to buy it from us.
They had all those nukes.
Why don't they just crank them back up?
Were they idiots to shut those down?
Yeah.
This is, but that's exactly it.
The power play was within your own government,
Annalena.
That was the power play.
And so, you know, everyone, oh, we don't
want Russian gas.
And then we'll just take it from America.
Sure.
Sure, we'll do that.
Twice the price.
Yes.
Their playing board is the backs of the
poorest and most vulnerable countries.
Now she's trying to make it sound like
poor people in Africa.
No, no.
That's the COP 29.
This is different.
We, as the European Union, will not accept
a deal that comes at the expense of
those who suffer most from the effects of
the ones that are getting killed.
Yeah.
Well, hold on a second.
Yeah.
At the expense of the dead Ukrainians.
Is that what she's trying to imply?
Here's what she's talking about.
This is the widows and the orphans of
the dead Ukrainians.
That's what she's talking about.
They're not they're now poor and sad.
No kidding.
Good job.
We, as the European Union, will not accept
a deal that comes at the expense of
those who suffer most from the effects of
climate crisis.
There it is.
We will not allow the most vulnerable, especially
the small island states.
She brings in everything.
Well, listen, the small island states.
Now she's going off the reservation.
We will not allow the most vulnerable, especially
the small island states, to be ripped off
by the new fuel rich fossil fuel emitters.
We have the backing, unfortunately, at this moment
of the presidency.
Ripped off?
Yeah, ripped off.
Yeah, we're getting ripped off.
Nobody's even bothering them.
Getting ripped off as a does she even
know what that means?
She's a Gen Zer.
So she can do what she can say.
Well, she's an idiot.
The Germans have lost the plot.
Yeah, they have.
They have.
They have.
Okay, there's two things, three things I need
to say.
One, this is because it came up on
the show.
And I don't I can't remember the context
of it.
But we were talking about wireless power from
space.
Yes.
So the U.S. Army has just contracted
Raytheon to replace fuel lines with beamed power,
which is yeah, where are they going?
Where's the power coming from?
I'm not quite sure how that's going.
I just always imagine a bird flying through
the beam and just on fire.
The second German industrialists are very worried about
Trump's return.
Why?
Because they're worried that he's going to all
of Europe.
My family, like, hey, it's probably good for
America that Trump is going to be president
again.
Bad for us, though, because why?
Oh, this is literally we won't be able
to export anything.
I said, where are you getting this from?
Oh, brother.
I said, cars, cars, maybe.
What?
Yeah, you know, even cars.
Come on, they're electric.
Maybe Italy is worried about exporting their their
olive oil.
And oh, no, my sister, my sister, like,
oh, no, nuts.
We have such an insatiable appetite for imports
that we're all of a sudden what we're
going to make our everyone's going to be
using California olive oil.
We can't barely supply the state, let alone
the world.
So what are they crazy?
No, they they have they have new sources
who are spinning them up.
Oh, man.
And then this one, this we've been wondering
where Victoria Noodleman has gone.
Yes.
Yeah, we're always wondering where she's gone.
Whatever, whatever.
Bad.
This is like she's like a like a
bad penny.
Well, you know where she showed up.
She is now an ambassador to the National
Endowment for Democracy.
Oh, that makes sense.
Which is an obvious spook operation, slush fund
for the State Department and intelligence.
Yeah, I'm surprised they haven't sent us money.
Right.
So she will be doing public advocacy and
representation as a high profile representative.
Any day the ambassador engages in public speaking,
participates in global forums and represents the organization's
mission to advance democracy.
Look out some democracy incoming and civil society,
both domestically and internationally.
Diplomatic engagement.
The ambassador helps to foster strategic partnerships with
governments.
I like the way they use the term
loosely use the term ambassador as if she's
representing a country.
This is like you're the ambassador.
Oh, yeah.
Ambassador Adam Curry is the ambassador for the
No Agenda show.
Next year, if we're still alive, God willing,
we need to give out ambassadorships.
Boom.
If I mean, if if the National Endowment
for Democracy can name someone an ambassador, I
think we can.
By the way, we need No Agenda ambassadors
to represent us in foreign countries.
I think we can do it before year
end.
The ambassador provides strategic advice to NED leadership.
That's right.
Our ambassadors will provide us with strategic advice
on key global political trends and opportunities.
This actually sounds like a No Agenda gig
offering expertise on how to effectively address challenges
facing democratic institutions.
And then the best part, fundraising and advocacy.
You see how this fits in with us?
In addition to representing NED publicly, the ambassador
plays a vital role in promoting the organization's
initiatives, helping to secure funding, building alliances and
mobilize support for democracy.
You've got to put this text aside.
I can use it.
Yeah, well, it's on their website.
But yes, yes, I've got the text for
you.
So anyway, to summarize, new TDS is unhealthy.
Stop it, stop it, stop it.
Instead, let's go back to TDS classic.
Because I just I need to fit these
these two clips in.
Well, good, because it leads me to my
TikTok clips.
I promise I could play.
I didn't promise it.
One person sends an email and you're all
encouraged.
One, one producer.
Are you referring to the to the female
listener who said that the TikTok clips are
the best part of the show?
Is that the one you're talking about?
Yes, yes.
And now you're all encouraged.
I'm always encouraged.
I don't need I thank her for the
notice, but I don't I don't need encouragement.
No.
So are you familiar with Jennifer Rubin, columnist
for WAPO?
Well, we talked about her before.
You just don't remember it.
But she is she's the one who always
came.
She was always listed as the as the
conservative blogger columnist.
She's supposed to be a blogger.
This was years ago.
She would always be considered the blogger conservative.
She was always billed by the WAPO as
a conservative when she has no conservative leanings
whatsoever.
She's pretty much a communist.
She's conservative.
This is what they've been trying to sell
the public because they wanted to have a
few balanced columnists.
They always different columnists.
And so she was dubbed a conservative and
she would basically just rail against conservatism because
it's not what it should be, which is
communism.
Now, I think this is an evergreen.
This is an evergreen by the conservative columnist
of WAPO.
And for people who don't get political news,
who never pick up a newspaper, who never
turn on CNN, who never even bother with
Fox News, those people really have no idea
what's going on.
And that means we have to bend over
backwards not to suck up to these people,
not to make excuses for them, but at
least to communicate the basic facts.
You don't have a vaccine because you're not
getting a child tax credit because all the
good things that are happening at the state
level, they have to know why they're getting
those things.
Oh, you have a chip manufacturing plant because
a Democratic president put that into effect and
a Democratic governor went out and solicited bids.
And now you have X number of thousands
of jobs.
It's that simple.
You can't talk broad themes.
You have to boil it down to nuts
and bolts and you have to be pithy.
What do I mean by pithy?
Pithy.
Okay, so what she's doing here, the conservative
blogger, is explaining how Democrats need to explain
to other Democrats who have withdrawn, withdrawn from
news.
You have to explain to them how bad
it really is and you need to be
pithy.
What is the definition of pithy?
Do you know that offhand?
Oh, it's just boiling it down to the
essence, I think is what I would define
it.
Pithy.
But this part that you're going to play.
I'm sorry.
This part you're going to play next is
the only part that's really been floating around.
And I think this is what you mean
by the evergreen.
This woman is an idiot.
And you have to be pithy.
What do I mean by pithy?
How about this?
Republicans want to kill your kids.
It's actually true.
It's true.
If you're going to oppose vaccinations, if you're
going to stop breakthrough medical research, if you're
going to allow minors and all sorts of
people to get semi-automatic weapons, which they
use to shoot up schools, well, then you
are responsible for kids' health and death.
Unfortunately, it has to be that simple and
that direct.
And it has to be over and over
and over again.
There it is, America.
Either your kids are going to be dead
or your boy is going to be a
girl.
I mean, the choice is yours, America.
And then the dial, the editor of the
dial.
She is, this is that particular clip.
I could have, this has been going around
for a couple of weeks.
I was almost tempted to click, but it
annoys me so much to listen to her
and her self-righteous approach.
She's patronizing.
She's terrible.
She's, and she's just full of herself.
And this is, she's worse than anybody out
there.
And to think that she, and she's on
video doing this on her podcast.
No business doing video.
But the issue is, and this is what
we've seen.
We got early reports from YouTubers and we're
seeing an overall downtrend, a withdrawal.
Only the super angry have gone over to
weep on blue sky.
But there, people have, people have given up.
I think that a big difference of Trump
two versus Trump one is that people are
really burnt out.
I'm hearing all around me, you know, I'm
just going to not read the news.
I'm tuning it out.
I don't have to care about this anymore.
And I think that that's true among, you
know, Democrats writ large with the party is
in disarray.
No one knows what direction to go.
People are tired of fighting and they're tired
of fighting with each other.
And it's also true among activists.
There was a sense in, you know, Trump
when Trump was first elected in 2016 of,
you know, people coming together can stop bad
things.
And that, you know, that kind of energy
takes a lot to be sustained over time.
And what we're seeing now is, is a
lot of sense of being tired.
And, you know, this is exactly what's happening.
People have given up.
People have given up.
They're tired of fighting.
They're like, OK, whatever.
You know, they see that especially after the
Hitler, you know, he's going to turn the
military on you on election day.
All of this stuff turned out to be
not true.
And so people rightfully are given up and
they need to be embraced.
I'm just saying we need to embrace them.
In fact, we need to embrace people like
I was quite surprised by this.
Brian Williams.
Brian Williams, who did the election coverage for
his new job after being exposed as a
big phony, if you're a liar, he got
fired for being a big phony.
I was under fire.
We crashed.
What was the helicopter story?
He had about there was more than one
story that he just made up.
He got shot down, got shot down.
So he goes on Seth Meyers show, which
I didn't know was still on the air
because television is really becoming irrelevant, except for
the clips that we all diligently post on
on X and social media.
Blue Sky, you don't see much of Blue
Sky is just basically Jeff Jarvis complaining all
day long.
That's right.
Jeff Jarvis.
Oh, yeah.
All those guys are over there.
Harris, Jeff Jarvis.
You know, what's funny about that or move.
That's all right.
But these guys, they build an audience.
In fact, there's a couple of them that
have built really huge audiences on Twitter, and
then they just abandon them.
What kind of thinking is this?
Because I have principles.
I have scruples, dammit.
Scruples.
There you go.
It's a show title.
Here's Brian Williams laying it out succinctly.
It is tough love time for the Democratic
Party.
I think it needs to be stripped down
and rebuilt.
I think that means a change in leadership.
I want to know who thought it was
a good idea that Joe Biden stand for
another four years at 80 years of age
and 37% popularity.
So then that settled the party with a
British like short campaign season for them.
I think it's insulting when members of the
working class, which the Democratic Party has lost
entirely in our lifetimes to insist the economy
is doing great.
A 12 pack of bounty is $40.
Rich folks don't feel that poor folks already
switched to sparkle during the covid during the
lockdown.
And I think telling them that the Nasdaq
is gangbusters is further insulting.
It's insulting.
I think the biggest unforced error of the
Biden administration by far was the border to
tell people it's not a problem is insulting
for the working class to see incoming migrants
getting welcome bags, debit cards and motel rooms
is probably insulting as well.
So there's a lot of work to do.
You know, it was when they they they
handed out camo hats that said Harris Walls
and the Democrats were they were kind of
charmed by that.
Their party has gone quinoa and the rest
of America's eating at Cracker Barrel.
And so they it was kind of an
ironic use of something millions of Americans put
on their heads to start their day every
day.
Exactly.
Where was this Brian Williams?
Yeah, this rant has been going.
This is a good round.
I'm glad you got it.
Yeah, this rant has been floating around and
it is a killer.
And exact you're exactly right.
Where is this commentary before the election or
six months ago or two years ago?
Because he's in the middle.
Yeah, believe me, he's no longer invited to.
In fact, I don't know if there are
dinner parties anymore.
The people that did the dinner parties are
tired.
We're tired.
We're just going to go live in the
Hamptons for a year.
Or we're going to move to it.
We're going to go sit in our house
in the south of France, whatever.
Yeah, I know that's what that's not too
far from the truth with these people.
So then we have television and I just
include all moving images that come through a
cable as television, not not YouTube, but television,
linear television who start at the top of
the hour and end at the top of
the hour with 18 minutes of commercials.
They are beside themselves.
They don't know what to do other than
justify their existence.
And the reason you should not be watching
Joe Rogan.
No, you should not be watching Theo Vaughn.
You should not be watching Tucker Carlson.
You shouldn't.
But there are reasons why you need to
be with the big corporate media.
And I hate to do it, but I
have to give you a trigger warning because,
you know, it's at the tone.
A clip from The View will be played.
Shelter in place.
People want us divided and they aren't just
here in this country.
They're foreign foreign adversaries who are infiltrating our
social media because it is prudent for us
to stay that way.
When you see something that really pisses you
off, you should triple check that one.
Yeah, but I think that that's why people
like our show, because they know that we
are checked by ABC News.
But everybody.
Yeah.
I mean, we're wrong.
We have, you know, the legal note here
pointing to Sonny Hostin.
We went from Walter Cronkite basically to this
guy, Joe Rogan, who believes in dragons.
He I checked it.
He believes in drag.
He believes in drag.
Yes, I did.
And he also thinks that dragons like, I
guess, like dinosaur type type of animals roam
the earth when people did.
So this is the type of really, really
bad information that's going out.
Well, it's offense.
There are some really good.
It's possible that Donald Trump did roam the
earth when dinosaurs.
So so stupid that she said, oh, no,
we fact check everything.
And then she goes in.
Why?
Yeah, I looked.
He believes in dragons.
Like what?
What is wrong with these people?
People are even the audience like they're running
away from this nonsense.
It's collapsing unto itself.
And after they try to justify their existence,
even they just talk about social media.
There are some really good news kind of
influencer types.
And I think it's great that they're getting
information about global and current events in front
of younger people who maybe don't tune into
traditional media.
But to Sarah's point, there has to be
some fact checking and actually verification of the
things that are shared, because I spent a
lot of time on Instagram reels and I'm
certain things that I get outraged about.
Says enough about this group.
I spend a lot of time on Instagram
reels.
OK, you have a life.
Oh, that's not even true.
But I have the sense to go and
look it up.
But what I do worry about with this,
like the blue sky versus X, because a
lot of people I follow on Twitter have
now left to go to blue sky.
I worry we're all going into our own
echo chamber.
So we had this, you know, this election
that was tense.
Donald Trump won in the right is going
to stay on X and then the left
is all going to be on blue sky.
How do we try to talk to each
other?
Well, unfortunately, I will have to say the
other side, I think, has driven people away
because, you know, it's not just discourse.
It's nasty name calling coming after your family.
And I'm going to do this to you.
And I don't think anyone should have to
take that from anybody if they don't have
to.
So I'm not and I think a lot
of Republicans who also are getting that because
they have opinions that may differ from what
is being said.
They're moving as well because, you know, and
I know why also, because, you know, as
I believe, you know, you know, you know,
Elon Musk is the actual vice president.
I mean, fact check.
Elon Musk is the actual, actual vice president.
I like the way that that clip was
structured because it starts off with ABC fact
checks everything we do.
So we're great.
And then it comes up with something like
that.
At the end of nobody says anything.
Yeah, exactly.
So let's see.
Oh, here's the Washington.
I'm looking at blue sky to see if
they're all kind over there because, you know,
obviously they're getting worse.
So I understand.
I don't go there.
I've never even opened that site once.
I'm going to have to eventually because you're
going to start bringing it up to be
over there a lot.
Wapo Sebastian.
I liked I do like the journalists.
The are our fabled journalists that are famous
that teach journalism.
And there's more than a few of them.
And they're all biased as hell.
And it's just like, wow.
And they're all over blue sky and mastodon.
Well, let's start with the Washington Post.
They post on the sky.
Sebastian Gorka, the pugilistic commentator.
What does pugilistic mean?
That means he's a boxer.
That means literally he's a boxer.
The pugilist, the pugilistic commentator who leveraged fears
about Islam as a threat to Western civilization
into a short-lived role in the first
Trump administration, is poised for a second run
inside the White House.
Kara Swisher.
Let's see what she has.
Well, she's dumb.
Let me see.
She's always well, she posts about cowboy hats.
I don't know what her problem is.
She posts with cowboy hat.
I don't know.
Kara Swisher.
Steve Jobs.
She posts a link to Elon Musk.
He has to become a beta.
Oh, man.
What?
Did she just post nonsense?
Here's a Muppet with a hair on fire.
And she posts, this reminds me of the
redonkulous Twitter files hair on fire nonsense on
steroids, which is to say a whole lot
of nothing to show for it.
And that's a tragedy for the taxpayer.
Huh?
She used the word redonkulous.
Oh, she does this.
She used a gajillion.
She used these words all the time.
These are all Rachel Maddow terms.
Yeah.
Let's see if there's Jeff Jarvis, if he's
posted anything new.
You need to get on the blue sky,
man.
I'm going to hold off.
Yeah, let's see.
Oh, Jeff Jarvis.
Elon Musk investment in Twitter seemed insane, but
it gave him his power.
That's it?
That's a post?
That's a post.
Why would it?
That's just what's a rando comment out of
the blue just because it's on your mind.
I had a wonderful conversation.
I have a clever idea.
I have a clever comment I'm going to
make.
And then that's what you end up posting.
He's a very smart man.
He's a professor.
Well, he was.
I think he's retired.
He does a lot of reboosting or rewinding,
I guess we call it on blue sky.
Is it whining?
You can whine and you can rewind.
I don't know.
It's called skeets or something.
It's got some screwy name.
I mean, we have boosted skittles, boosted to
slash the X and whine on blue sky.
I can't think of anything else.
All right.
Let's play a couple of tick tock clips
and break this up.
Geez.
Let's start with this is a back to
what you were previously discussing.
And let's talk about this is this a
bunch of these tick tock clips are out
there about the Thanksgiving quitters.
Oh, yes.
OK, this is about quitting your family.
Yeah, quit the family because they voted for
Trump.
OK, hold on.
I'm not going home for Thanksgiving this year.
I'm 31 and it's my first time standing
up to my family like this.
And it honestly feels like a huge relief.
I'm not doing this to punish them or
to be petty, but I did let them
know that it just makes me too angry
and upset to be around them right now.
And this Thanksgiving, I simply have to excuse
myself from the family table.
I debated going to Thanksgiving and making a
huge scene and having a blowout over politics.
But in the end, I actually don't think
that that's going to be effective or a
good use of my energy.
I genuinely feel that letting them know that
this is really personal to me and it
does affect me and that this is something
that will keep me from family holidays is
actually kind of a way to get through
to like conservative boomer families more so than
anything else.
And my goal really isn't to change their
mind because they've been pretty deeply entrenched in
their value set for many, many years.
And it's the one they indoctrinated me into.
But with Thanksgiving coming on the heels of
such an atrocious election, I just thought I
would share that I'm doing something differently this
year and that it's sad, but it feels
right.
I mean, so what happens is you see
this and you think, what do you think
when you when you see this clip?
You think, wow, what a crazy person.
What do you think?
Well, I'm looking at she's 31, so she's
a mature woman bordering on middle aged.
She obviously is a cat lady.
And she now she's standing up to her
parents for the first time as the wait.
Didn't you move out of the house?
That's standing up to your parents.
You know, they'd like to keep you there.
I mean, there's this was no, I see
a pathetic soul.
Yes, pathetic.
But I see it differently from you.
I see it as someone who is lonely
because she probably gave up on men as
well, you know, because, you know, Trump is
going to make men toxic again.
Well, she didn't have a shaved head.
So there's that.
That's beside the point.
And she's so lonely and sorrowed, perhaps depressed,
that she wants to she's crying out for
help.
And she she's probably going to go to
Thanksgiving.
She's just saying this to get likes on
TikTok and people say, you go, girl, you're
right.
You saw him.
You should stand up that it's all it
is complete ego is egotism and narcissism.
Why else are you doing this on on
video on TikTok?
I could have put together 30 of these
clips.
Yeah, of course, because it's a competition.
You want more like it's like dopamine.
You can do coke or you can post
on TikTok.
What's the difference?
It makes you feel good.
I think it's pathetic.
I mean, I'm not going to argue against
your interpretation, but it's it maybe it makes
you feel good.
It makes people have a it.
I don't know what it's supposed to.
It gives you negatives.
It's a negative performance.
This is not a good thing to do.
That's unhealthy.
It sells.
It sells unless you're not selling anything.
Let's go with the arrogant girl.
I am happily every man's worst nightmare.
Like, keep those cowboy hats and those little
boots away from me, baby boy.
I don't want to be a part of
it.
Like, I'm divorced.
I don't go to church.
I don't cook.
I'm a nurse who believes in vaccination and
modern medicine.
Like, you don't keep that yee haw away
from me again.
She craves.
She craves the cowboy.
She wants the cowboy, but she is so
stuck in her psychosis that she has to
say, just so you know, I don't want
you, cowboy.
Stay away from me, cowboy.
I believe in vaccines, cowboy.
Come on, cowboy.
No, stay away from me, cowboy.
These people need help, and they're reaching out,
and you are just excoriating them.
I'm divorced.
I can't cook.
I mean, come on, lady.
What a thing to brag about.
She's not bragging.
It's a cry for help.
The way she presented it, this is a
good looking woman, and she is bragging about
being divorced and she can't cook.
Because, you know, I'm worth it.
No, she's saying, I need help.
I need to learn how to cook.
She's never going to cook.
You can tell.
Okay, and then we have this one, which
is the last one of this group, because
I played one last show.
Oh, gosh.
And this is a promotion for Wicked.
With Wicked.com, everybody.
Don't go there.
This is a video for all you MAGA
supporters out there.
Today is the Wicked premiere, and I just
want to provide you with a gentle reminder
that this is not for you.
The entire movie is about a girl who's
marginalized based on the color of her skin
and fights for her individuality.
If you go to see this movie and
I see you rooting for anyone but the
wizard, I swear to God.
She got paid for that.
She got paid.
She got paid for that.
That's a native ad.
She got paid for that.
Oh, that's good.
Easy, easy money.
She got paid for that one.
You know, we were talking about what Zoomers
are doing, and I think it was the
dating clip that you had about.
Yeah, that's the one I played last show.
Yeah, that if you go on as a
dude, then you get maybe.
You can play it again.
It's short.
Because it's a good clip.
Dating.
What was it?
Yeah.
Dating app story.
It's not short.
Okay.
Some of my guy friends gave me permission
to make a hinge account for him because
I was telling him how easy dating is
with dating apps, and he was telling me
that it's incredibly difficult.
And I was like, Pete, you must be
doing something wrong.
And he gave me permission to create an
account for him and just run the account.
I've been a virtual boy for three days,
and I've never felt this bad about myself.
I feel like a freaking loser trying to
get these girls to like me, and I'm
starting to hate women because I'm like when
I say I mean Pete, because that's the
account I'm using.
Pete's about a six, but I'm so desperate.
I'm liking the twos and the threes, and
even they won't like me back.
Pete, which is a six.
So what level of delusion has entered women's
head?
Heads.
What is going on?
It is so difficult dating as a boy.
I hate it.
I'm on day three of being a boy,
and I hate women, and I'm more depressed
than ever.
All right.
So I've gotten some feedback on this particular
clip in the conversation we had.
The first one is go outside to date.
Do not try to go to you know
what?
I think most people probably meet their future
mate at work.
So go to the office.
You only have to go twice a week.
Go to the office.
You might meet somebody you like.
Go to some social club, or go to
a bar, or go to church, or get
outside to meet people.
This is not the way to meet people.
Museums.
What is happening on these dating apps is
trans maxing, because my obvious conclusion turns out
to be not off base that this is
where a lot of young men, I'm talking
17 to 23, who are indoors, not going
outside to date, sitting indoors.
They're not doing video games.
They can't get it.
They're a six.
They can't get a two to swipe right
on them.
And then you know what?
I want to have people need affection, compassion.
Like, what if I dress up as a
girl?
And boom, boom, you're celebrated.
You're a TikTok star.
You get likes.
This is the most convoluted theory, but it's
something I'm not going to argue with too
strongly.
But yeah, you might be right here.
This is a pretty indicting of the culture,
if what you're saying is even remotely true.
And remember, we talked about the hypnoporn or
hypnotrans, where these boys get into watching certain
type of porn where they whisper in your
ear, you're a girl, you know, that kind
of stuff.
And the flashing, you got the flashing screens.
I am doing this as a service to
parents of young men.
Kick him out of the house.
Kick him out of the house.
Right.
Give him a motorcycle to tinker with anything.
And then this, we were talking about chat
roulette.
We were talking about chat roulette.
Maybe we should reiterate chat roulette.
Chat roulette.
You hooked up your little Logitech ball webcam
and you went on chat roulette and it
would switch screens and you could stop at
a certain point.
It would switch screens and there'd be a
person.
And every fifth screen was some fat, naked
dude jerking off.
So I got a note from Michael.
He says, I'm a Zoomer and I love
our Zoomers.
19 years old listening to the show.
I'd never heard of.
By the way, Zoomers who listen to this
show are sharp.
They're going to run the country.
They are the future leaders of our country.
They have good observational skills.
That's the key.
A lot of them are quite conservative, want
children.
It's encouraging.
I'm a Zoomer.
19.
I've never heard of chat roulette.
No kidding.
But I know the concept.
When I was.
There's other things out there nowadays.
I think that.
Well, here we go.
When I was in my early teens, an
app called Omegle.
Omegle.
Yep.
Or Megley.
I don't know how you pronounce it.
Yeah.
I've heard of it.
Of course you have made it.
I hadn't made its rounds through my generation
to generation.
You could chat with strangers and skip as
you desire.
When I first discovered it, I was oblivious
to the mat.
To the matter of men wanking their wings.
A term I had not heard, but will
remain with me for the rest of my
life.
As of 2022, I believe the app was
shut down.
But the idea yet lives on through another
app called Monkey.
Yeah.
It's nice to know that through the ages
and probably to come.
Everyone who uses these apps will be scarred
by the image of a fat and hairy
75 year old man.
Pressing his piece.
Stay sane.
All right, Michael, you are an awesome human
being.
Awesome human being.
And with that, I'd like to thank you
for your currency in the morning to you.
The man who put the sea in the
TDS.
Classic.
See a little my friend on the other
end.
The one and only Mr. John.
Where are we?
Where are we doing?
John.
I'm out of control.
I'm out of control.
There we go.
You done?
I'm done.
Well, I'm in the morning.
You miss me.
I'm in the morning.
Should see boosting raffia in the air.
Something's in the water.
Damage tonight's out there.
I'm trying to get behind.
We go in the morning to the trolls
in the troll room.
Here we go.
After all that, very disappointing.
2177 on the troll.
Even I know that's down.
That's down 300.
Yeah.
Well, this is, you know, people did Christmas.
Christmas week.
It's not Christmas week.
Thanksgiving week.
This year, it turns out that people have
all bailed out.
They started going on their Thanksgiving drive.
Cost of gas is down by about a
dollar here.
Oh, so it's only $9 a gallon now.
No, it's down to 460.
That's pretty low for California.
That's not bad.
That's not bad.
And so they're all driving off to some
place or other, and they've all left already.
And they're going for longer than normal vacations
as Thanksgiving holiday.
Because the economy is doing great.
I think that's accounting for our audience shrinkage
and donation shrinkage.
Well, they can still listen.
It's the Internet.
You can listen wherever you are.
For some reason, people just disconnect.
Well, when we do these shows, we work
on Thanksgiving and we, you know.
Tina's like, why don't you guys just take
Thanksgiving off?
Why don't you just take Christmas off?
Why?
Well, she was stating it, but because our
life is dictated by this show.
I don't think I've had an actual vacation
where I unplugged and didn't work, didn't schlep
my rig along in 17 years.
Yeah.
I'm just saying.
You're doing God's work.
Oh, okay.
Thank you.
Message received.
I will.
Yes, you are right.
You're right.
So when I say beware of the ways
of the world is polluting your soul, I
am doing God's work.
You're correct.
A buddy of mine gave me that, Mark.
So the trolls are in the troll room,
trollroom.io, and we have a stream.
Yay.
We love Void Zero.
You know, it could be the Void Zero
upgrade that's accounted for the low number.
Oh, a lot of people got kicked off
in the beginning.
My theory could be completely wrong.
It's got nothing to do with Thanksgiving at
all.
It could just be that the stream was
rocky in the beginning.
Yeah, that's true.
Yeah, people bail out.
A lot of people are just finicky.
Oh, it doesn't work.
I'm going to go do something else.
It's okay because you can listen.
It's a podcast.
You can listen whenever you want to.
But we like doing it live, which is,
you know, we don't just say, oh, I
got Thanksgiving dinner.
Let's do it really early in the morning
or let's do it later.
This is true.
We do not fluctuate.
We make it like it was.
Yeah, we routinize it.
You want to do that because for podcasters
out there, you should know that you want
to have things the same over and over.
It's like a newspaper.
They have a formula for the front page
and people expect something to be at a
spot on the page and they look to
it.
The Wall Street Journal was notorious for having
a fabulous front page formula where you'd always
go to the one column noting that you're
going to read something about something that's exactly
the same day after day.
This is also one of Adam's golden podcasting
rules.
Not necessarily for, it pertains to live show
as well.
And people who asked me for my hyperlocal
giblet about podcasting, which is hyperlocal.noagendanotes.com.
The golden rule, always, always, whether you do
it once a week, once a month, whatever,
twice a week, always release on the same
day at approximately the same time.
Because, and this is why we don't take
vacations.
If we skip a show or if the
show comes out much later, people, their lives
are disrupted.
They're waiting for it.
My goodness, when we change from 11 a
.m. to 1 p.m., people were hyperventilating.
It took about three months.
It took quite a while for people, you've
ruined my life.
My life is scheduled around this.
A lot of artists are complaining because I
can't do the art anymore.
Yeah, yeah.
And then they're very susceptible.
It's like, oh, I'll find something else.
And before you know it, they're listening to
Megyn Kelly.
So this is why you need to be
very consistent at your release schedule.
And this is why we are very consistent
with our live schedule as well.
People are scheduling their lives around it.
And yes, yes.
Well, they expect, I don't think, I disagree
with that assumption.
I don't think there's, I think they expect
something at the same time and they, and
it's a routine.
It's not that they're taking their whole lives
and scheduling it around.
That's why they have to be reminded there's
even a show.
Yes.
Rule number two, have a newsletter to remind
people that there's a show.
It's very critical, critical, critical, critical, critical.
So you can go to trollroom.io and
this No Agenda stream is great.
Void Zero has graciously kept his chat, his
IRC chat server open for all of these
years for everybody to enjoy.
And of course, they run the No Agenda
stream.
So lots of live shows there.
Talk about a great community.
It is No Agenda Nation.
It is the No Agenda stream.
You can also use a modern podcast app.
Highly recommended because there's no de-platforming.
If there's a podcast you like, it's not
just going to disappear one day because Silicon
Valley companies didn't like it.
Mainly Spotify, but Apple de-platforms as well.
Sometimes just singular episodes.
It's very, very annoying.
And the bonus, you can listen to the
live stream in these modern podcast apps and
you'll also get a notification when we send
out the badge signal and 90 seconds after
releasing it, these modern podcast apps know about
it.
All these big companies could do it, but
they don't because they don't care about you.
They don't care.
They just want you to use an iPhone.
That's all they care about.
So I'm singling out.
Well, that's what you, yeah, if you're selling
iPhones, that's what you want.
That's what you do.
Value for value is how we've been running
it.
We do this as a service.
You'll never see us with a plus bundle
or a Patreon or any nonsense like that.
We love doing this as a service to
humanity.
As John just said, we're doing God's work.
I don't know who John's working for.
I'm doing God's work.
Yeah, there you go.
Where's our money?
And we just want you to receive something
that's valuable.
And if you feel it was valuable, return
the favor to us to keep us going.
We need time, talent, and definitely need treasure
to pay the bills.
And we appreciate the time and talent that
our artists put into, regardless of how they
do it.
When you're thinking about it, you're trying to
do something.
It's appreciated.
And we always choose one piece of art
that we think is attention-getting.
It can be funny.
It can be, you know, we have no
set...
Do we have any set reasoning for why
we choose the art?
I mean, it's not about slickness.
It's not about...
It's the concept, I guess.
Well, there's two guys that decide.
Yeah.
That's you and me.
Yes.
And it's based on...
We each have our taste and it's based
on 100% consensus.
Yes.
We have veto power over everything.
Both of us.
And so it has to be agreed upon,
although some deals are made in the back
room every once in a while.
Yeah, there's...
Well, I'll give you this one if you
give me the next one.
No, that has happened on an occasion.
But it usually goes like this.
I don't like it, but okay, you can
have it.
That's what you will say.
You can have this.
Go ahead.
Go with that one.
But I'm marking it down.
I get the next one.
And then I always fight you on the
next one.
I'm kind of an Indian giver.
Yeah, you are, as a matter of fact.
Which is racist by itself.
Well, it looks like a Cherokee.
So you can upload to noagendaartgenerator.com.
This is where you can make an account.
This has been around for a long time.
We have leaderboards, all kinds of fun stuff.
It's very gamified.
And from time to time, we'll see an
actual Dutch master pop in.
They are going through transition themselves.
A little, you know, the disappointment is great
when someone pops in as a prompt jockey
and wins the art.
But again, it's the concept.
It's not how you make it.
It's the concept.
And when we looked at this piece from
Nico Seim, I don't even know if this
was AI.
It's very cartoonish.
It's like an explosion.
And this podcast includes the sound of noagenda.
It was, if anything, the lettering, Dvorak and
Curry, reminded me of Dr. Seuss.
Of the type, the font used for Dr.
Seuss books.
And it was, I don't know, it was
like, yeah, we'll use this one.
I don't think there was anything high concept
that really struck us.
Well, no, you did like one piece, which
was the clip, the cord piece, which I
really didn't.
Yeah, Mountain J.
I liked the clipping the MSN cord.
And you said it's the wrong cables.
No, it's not.
It's literally the cable.
Yeah.
It's a coaxial cable.
I thought the piece was a little simplistic
looking.
The cable's not hooked to anything.
So what's it cutting off?
Yeah, I guess.
Now, the other one I liked, because I
thought we both thought spin coat was cute.
But that was Tantaniel.
I don't know.
It didn't have.
It was getting there.
I kind of like the language popo by
Nessworks.
I don't know why.
It was like kind of cheesecakey.
You didn't like it.
No, you brought that up.
Which one was that?
I don't even see it.
It's the drawn police officer, police woman.
And she's a...
Oh, the police woman.
Yeah.
Language police.
And why didn't I like that?
I don't know.
It's just, I don't know.
I think it was the composition for something.
Something about the composition I didn't care for.
We both thought Becky was cute.
Becky is.
Yeah, we both think Becky was cute.
Your alter ego.
By the way, Dame Jen pinged me.
She says, thank you for defending me to
use a real voice on John's AI pimping
mission, which I guess you haven't started yet.
With Scaramanga.
Scaramanga is already sending out his resume.
Didn't you see that?
No, I did not see it.
Oh, he tagged you on X with some
animated gif of a Becky, believe me, Scaramanga.
Oh, yeah.
Probably stacked, as we used to say in
the old days.
Correct.
The Octocopter.
Oh, we talked about Atacams, which was Matt
Boisvert.
We liked it, but it was too small.
Yeah, you couldn't read anything.
But it was very funny because Atacams is
a medication box, like for actually suppositories.
And there's Atacams multi-symptom for use deep
inside Russia.
Relief from the discomfort of hegemony helps reduce
population.
He had all the right things going for
him.
Excellent, excellent copy.
Yes.
Had a lot going for it, but.
But it's like you can't even read it.
You had to blow it up.
You have to remember the small square you
see is the biggest you're ever going to
see it anywhere.
Yeah, and sometimes it's smaller.
Yeah, yeah.
I think that was it.
Was there anything else?
No, I think that was it.
Let me see.
We did have one person complain that we
talk about the art too much.
Oh, that's not what the email said.
The art segment's gotta go.
That's what it was.
It was a little different.
The art segment's gotta go.
Yeah, no, I mean, what value is it
if we don't critique the art, the artists
will never do anything anymore.
They want at least get a recognition.
This is a way of encouraging production.
Yeah.
This is like the, you know, that you
do this in a communist country.
You get in front and make everyone sit
at a meeting and then you tell them
off and tell them to get back to
work and do more.
Yes.
Do more work.
Yes.
Yeah, that's what you do.
You want the bonus clip before we go
to the, uh, before we go to the,
uh.
Yes, I would love the bonus clip.
What is it?
This is a bonus clip that shows you
what we do is, uh, takes talent.
I've always, uh, appreciate that.
You know, we, we do cold reads of
the, because of the nature of the spreadsheet
and how it comes in.
We don't have time to review all the,
all the texts.
No, we don't have time to rehearse.
And we don't want to.
No, no.
And so that's the key.
I think we do pretty good.
Pretty good.
Pretty good.
It's passable.
So, so this is the Cuomo kid over
there on the news nation, Chris Cuomo.
And he has a prompter fail.
Oh.
And this is probably, it was probably the
most hilarious prompter fail I've ever heard.
And he excoriates the prompter operator, which is
like, which is the dumbest thing you can
do.
Never do that.
That's, that is dumb.
Prompter people.
That's a crappy job.
This is a thankless job.
Prompter people talk to each other.
It's not a big group.
And they'll be like, yeah, that guy is
a dick.
And then they will purposely, purposely screw.
They have, if you are, if you are
tied to the teleprompter, which Chris Cuomo is,
they will mess you up.
So this person will always have it in
for Chris Cuomo.
I have to stop for a second.
My prompter operator is racing through this like
they don't want to hear anything that I'm
saying right now.
Do me a favor.
Move the prompter back up.
Pretend you're paying attention.
Keep rolling up.
No, no.
The other way.
The other way.
I know you just weren't paying attention, but
just keep going.
Keep going.
It's fine.
It's fine.
Okay.
Yes.
That's how far off you were.
Nevermind that.
Stop.
What a douchebag.
Wow.
That was a good one.
That guy is an absolute douche.
I can't believe he did that.
Yeah.
Humiliating them.
By the way, that's one of the lowest
paid jobs in the studio.
On the set.
On the set.
It's a low paid job because you're lucky
to have anyone that could even do it
at all, and that they will do it.
And then to excoriate them and to humiliate
them with that salary.
He owes that guy his daily salary.
What Cuomo makes a day.
Should give it to the prompter guy to
say, I'm sorry.
Cuomo should be happy because most local news
do their own prompter.
A controller in their left hand.
And they got to do their own prompter.
Have you ever seen that?
No, I've never noticed it.
Oh, it happens a lot.
Yeah.
I think he was just parroting his wife
from last night.
Keep going.
Keep going.
Little bit more.
Other direction.
All right.
Let's thank the treasure portion of Value for
Value that we received back.
We'd like to thank everybody who comes in
over $50 or more.
Not below $50 for reasons of anonymity.
So people can be assured we'll never mess
it up.
And we always love the sustaining donations, which
is any amount, any frequency.
You set it up.
Set it and forget it is what we
hope for.
A lot of people say we always get
nice notes.
Hey, it's like five bucks a month.
I got to stop for a while.
And I was like, no problem.
They're always really sorry.
It's okay.
It's okay.
Value for Value.
If you don't have any value, then it's
okay for now.
Now, when it comes to executive and associate
executive producers, just like Hollywood, we like to
reward people who come in with higher amounts
with a title, which is useless.
Except you can use it for credits, credits.
You can walk around and say, I'm an
executive producer.
And you can put it on imdb.com.
It might impress somebody.
When you're not trying to get a date
on a dating app, you can go to
a bar and say, I'm an executive producer.
If only I could find an unknown, it
would be perfect.
And you can show them your credits in
IMDb.
It's just the thought.
You make a business card, put it on
there.
There you go.
So $200 and above, you have an associate
executive producer.
Credit is for your lifetime.
It never goes away.
$300 and above is executive producer.
And in both cases, we read your note
and we kick it off with Anonymous, who
made sure to say, I want this to
be anonymous.
Comes in, boom, right off the bat, $1
,000.
And says, first things first, a de-douching
and a jobs karma.
Well, you've been de-douched.
And we will do the jobs karma in
a moment.
This donation is a year, perhaps more, overdue.
I was originally after a PhD in media
deconstruction, but at the time I was laid
off and the job market has been awful.
Oh, it's from the UK.
It took a while, but I found some
work.
We're happy.
And the time has come to donate to
the best podcast in the universe, become a
knight and take this opportunity to claim a
PhD in climate science studies.
Doctor of education.
A doctor of education in climate science studies.
Hopefully this gets you in time for that.
So it's actually better.
It's a doctor of education.
The majority of this donation amounts to the
amount I've spent on Spotify over the years.
It was fairly close to the instant night
level.
Yeah.
So I thought, what the hay?
So they actually spent a little bit less.
Well, you've been on Spotify for a long
time.
I'll be setting up a system.
So you gave your money to Taylor Swift.
Let me just tell you what happened there.
I will be setting up a sustaining slash
regular donations to match my Spotify subscription soon.
Very good idea.
I get much more value out of this
show and would like it to continue for
at least four more years.
Please knight me as Sir Bumpsy of the
tickly beard.
And we look forward to doing that.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs.
Karma.
Karma.
So this guy's donation came in as a
wire transfer to the bank through a system
I've never even heard of called Weiss.
Weiss?
How do you spell it?
W-I-S-S-E, yeah.
Weiss.
Oh, Weiss.
W-I-S-S-E.
Weiss.
W-I-S-S-E.
Weiss.
W-I-S-S-E.
Or Weiss.
Weiss, maybe.
Weiss, Weiss.
But I would doubt if it's called that.
Whatever it is.
But it just kind of shows up.
Okay.
And I mean, there's different kinds of systems
out there that do wire transfers, but this
one is new to me.
And I find it kind of interesting.
Yeah, okay.
I didn't get charged a fee for it
incoming.
Nice.
Well, he probably paid outgoing.
He must have paid outgoing.
Or I don't know.
I mean, all I know is that normally
when a wire transfer comes in, we have
to pay 20 bucks for it.
So it's always annoying when somebody sends us,
somebody recently sent us $37 in a wire
transfer.
And it was like 20 bucks fee to
take it.
It's like, don't send us $1 PayPal either.
I mean, we basically wind up owing money
to PayPal.
It doesn't work.
No.
But yeah, for people who want to know,
checks are at the, after a certain level
of checks are received, the maximum fee is
15 cents a check for whatever the check
is written for.
So, you know, it's 15 cents.
So void zero says, well, what if they
send $19?
Yeah.
We basically lose a buck.
If they sent 19 bucks in a wire
transfer, we would lose a dollar.
And we would actually, the bank would charge
the 20.
Yeah.
So you would lose a dollar.
So don't do that.
Anybody out there.
Why is it wise?
Why?
I mean, it costs now it costs $40
to send a wire.
Hold on.
White wise.com.
Connect your money worldwide.
We're looking at now pay and get paid
globally.
Move money where it matters from paying your
mortgage in euros to sending rupees overseas.
Fast, simple, and secure.
High-speed, low-fee transfers.
Have you ever heard of it?
No.
And it did come through.
So I guess they were hooked into it.
Now, I don't want to belabor this, but
people do need to know some things like
the 15 cent charge for a check, as
opposed to five, six, seven, eight, 10, sometimes
more for PayPal or Stripe.
And then there's other, these free systems that
go through Zelle being one of them that
our bank doesn't like.
And I can't accept a Zelle, but some
people have set it up on their end
to get a Zelle to go through.
I don't know how they do it and
they won't explain it.
So I, but this wise looks like something.
Check it out.
Check it out.
If you send wise, wise $333 and 69
cents, the charge is $96, 96 cent fee.
That's a good deal.
That's a very good deal if it is.
Okay, cool.
But again, let's see what, you know, I
was shocked.
Shocked.
Shocked.
I tell you.
Gambling.
Anonymous, another anonymous from Omaha, Nebraska is next
on the list.
He comes in with three, three, three 69.
And he says for John C, which is
misspelled, by the way, it's J O N
J O H N S I think is
S I E S I J A H
N S I E.
Okay.
That's, that's hot.
Yes.
If you're fishing and the bait ain't working,
switch it up.
The sad puppy is 87 years old and
dog years.
Time for a refresh.
I didn't put a sad puppy on this,
on the newsletter.
No, he did attach some, some alternatives.
I've used alternatives and none of them work
as good as the sad puppy.
There's one sad puppy and we're sticking with
them.
I'm in the railroad industry.
Where are the tracks you see?
I'd love to look it up in our
internet map and see what's moving out there.
It's internal map.
They've got a map.
Yes.
I'd like to look at it.
Okay.
Uh, lastly, I don't know what that, but
I don't get it.
He wants to know what rail tracks run
in front of your house.
Oh, uh, these are the old, I believe
these are the old Southern Pacific tracks that
have now owned by Burlington Northern.
And they're the ones that run parallel to
highway 80, um, from about Richmond to Emeryville.
Okay.
Lastly, spend drift sparkling water is the best.
Lime and lemon are top tier.
I'd ship you some, but I am too
lazy.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Thank you.
And then he has a second part of
his note for Adam.
As a professional producer, you're great at cleaning
up John C's nat pops, doorbells, and other
sounds.
Here is an opinion.
I bet you disagree with, but I want
to share it.
I think those imperfections make the show feel
authentic.
Like listeners are part of it.
Not consuming pure polished corporate crap or content
John's chair squeaks, uh, or dropping of a
pop can or opening of a pop can
is what it really is.
Or obnoxious borderline profane slurping.
It is sparkling water briefly pulls the veil
back and lets the audience inside or sucking
on a lozenge.
I need to say something, this about that.
I never clean anything up.
We have a noise gate, which is mainly
because of the amount of compression we use
that, and you don't use headphones.
So my voice will flow back from your
speakers into your mic.
Very annoying.
But I don't try, I do not clean
up.
In fact, something's been bumping for the last
two and a half, three weeks.
And I haven't even said anything about it.
I'm like, it's so wonderfully natural.
Exactly.
Case in point.
I don't clean anything up, especially not when
I, when something bumps, let me know.
Cause I'd like to know what it is.
Cause I haven't been doing much.
Okay.
It could be the table.
No, no, I'll let you know when it
happens.
Yeah.
Just one time.
I was like one time will be enough
to say it bumped.
Okay.
All right.
John C and Adam are taking their time
to record yet another holiday show.
That's right.
We're working on Thursday.
Pay your respects while you can.
For my earlier comment, John C lives near
the tracks.
He takes one bad step at the wrong
time and splat.
The show is over.
The average Turkey weighs 15 pounds.
If you're a douche bag or even if
you're not, why not break the ice with
a 1515 donation to break the ice.
Karma.
No requests.
Jingles.
WTC seven won't go away.
All right.
You've got karma.
All right.
Long note.
Thank you.
Yeah, it's a little long.
Doosan Miletic in Bartlett, Texas.
33333.
Oh yeah.
This is also not a shorty.
This came in as a typewritten note, which
is interesting.
Yeah.
It looks like it was actually literally typewritten.
Yes.
In the morning, please find a 33333 donation
check with the dollar sign after the 33333,
which is a new and I find it
disturbing.
The dollar sign belongs in front of the
number.
He's from Serbia, so it must have something
to do with.
All right.
No.
Okay.
Then the jury will disregard that remark.
From Serbia.
From Serbia.
Wait a minute.
He's from Bartlett, Texas.
Oh, he's studentical Serbian.
He's studying Serbia.
Anyway, the donation check is enough to take
me to the coveted no agenda sir status,
though that word means cheese in my native
language.
Sir means cheese.
May I be granted the title of Sir
Doosan, the autocrat of Bartlett and studentical, living
at two places at once.
More about me in the bio at Maletic
.org with a C.
As you can see there, I even have
the coat of arms for the title.
That happens when you can trace your direct
ancestors to the early 14th century.
Two brothers who built Serbian monastery of Visoki
Dekani for the king.
Hey, can you make us royalty?
Can you give us like a Duke ship
or something?
There you go.
Now you're talking.
I followed no agenda since day one, though
sporadically up to the covert era.
Covid and related moved to Texas at the
time with gracious encouragement by the podfather who
answered my email about moving to the Austin
area.
Resulted in more engagement and donations culminating now
with the title.
That email paid off.
It did.
I email almost everybody back.
Your sanity and humor were invaluable during those
times and are always mental health preservers.
Why now?
Well, I am timing it for my birthday,
which falls on Thanksgiving during every year when
Friday the 13th falls in October.
You can leave calculation to the troll room.
Amount is self-explanatory.
As for the nighting roundtable, I request Sarma
as opposed to some karma on the side,
which is similar to but much better than
Polish Golumpki, which is fermented cabbage leaves and
layered with smoked pork.
An amphora-aged Tamayanica would be great to
hear a little girl approval of it.
Be seeing you.
Doosan Miletic in Bartlett, Texas.
Studentica, Serbia.
So there's an actual place called Studentica.
That's interesting.
Yes.
Little girl approval for you, sir.
Thank you very much for your courage.
We appreciate it.
Interesting.

So we're going to double up karma and
you'll be good to go.
You've got karma.

With this donation, I'm now finally a knight
of the roundtable.
I would like to be known as Sir
Discohead.
Asking for jobs, karma, health, karma, and relationship
karma.
Thank you for being the best podcast in
the universe.
Jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs.
By the way, did you see, I mean,
I don't know.
It was kind of silly meeting with you.
I sent you a text message.
Saturday, did you receive my text message?
What did it say?
About our three knights who are in the
band Mercy Me.
We're playing the big venue there in Oakland.
Yeah, I saw that.
You didn't respond.
I know.
Oh, yeah.
Because they were like, please ask if John
will come to the gig.
We'll let him park with the tour buses.
We'll give them all access.
Then I didn't see it.
I would have noticed that.
Oh, man.
You sure you sent it to the right
phone number?
Yeah, the one that you always text me
with.
Anyway, they decided to go to Costco.
They thought they would have better luck of
finding you there than you coming to the
gig.
Well, that's too bad.
No, where was the gig?
What's the biggest venue in Oakland?
Coliseum.
Yeah, that's where they were playing.
They were at the Coliseum?
Yeah, they're huge.
Oh, I would have gone if they'd sent
me a note.
I sent you an email about it a
week ago.
Oh, well, you know, what am I supposed
to do?
Okay, well, if they ever come through again.
I do the best I can.
I get 500 emails a day.
I lose a few.
That's all right.
Anyway, they were sad, but they understood.
Well, next time they're around, I'll be glad
to show up.
I'll work the back room.
I'll pull some cables for them.
I'll be part of the roadie crew.
No, you would be standing with the wives
and girlfriends, man.
You get the side stage.
You get to hang out.
They take care of you.
As long as they have food.
You get full catering with the band.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Next time.
Hey, by the way, the Costco here finally
got that French wine Bordeaux quadruple box.
Finally.
Oh, it didn't have it?
I think we have our third crate by
now.
Eight bucks a bottle.
It's unbelievable.
What a tip.
What a tip of the day.
Yeah, I was waiting and waiting because when
I heard about it, I know there's always
good deals, but finally they showed up.
I think, what is going on?
What is this?
Very disappointing.
All right, onward.
Chet.
He's in Sayre.
Chet Perry.
He's in Sayre, Pennsylvania.

And he says, thank you, John and Adam,
for the amazing work you do.
First, I'd like to give a shout out
to Theodore and Farmer Taught as they are
kin and akin to kin.
I akin to kin.

the mouth a while ago, but I have
the feeling he listens on the sly.
So if we could call our, uh, what?

Amon out as a douchebag.
If he's listening, it would be appreciated.
No jingles, no karma, just love and light.
You got love and light, brother.

222.22. Small row of ducks.
I was hit in the mouth many years
ago, uh, by the boys from Canary Cry.
Yep.
Canary Cry Talk Radio.
Yep.
They're big value.
Earlier this evening, while listening to the show
with my 11 year old daughter, she asked
me during the donation segment, if I'd ever
produced a show.
Aye, what a good kid.
I told her no.
And she asked if I did not get
any value from the show.
Did you not get any value from the
show?
I could just.
The shame of douchebaggery overwhelmed me.
And I had to donate knowing the overwhelming
amount of value.
The show has provided me through the years.
Yeah.
Good for her.
Please play.
They're, they're starving in the shadows.
They're eating the dogs due to climate change.
And that's true.
True.
Also, please add me to the birthday list
as I complete my 42nd trip around the
sun on the 25th.
Thank you for your courage, Brian winning.
41st trip, not 42nd.
And the starving in the shadows is not
actually an ISO.
I mean, it was one of John's clips.
I could not find it quick enough because
I always scan to see what jingles people
need.
But we do have the rest.
They're eating the dogs due to climate change.
That's true.
There you go.
Oh, that's good.
Kind of good.

What do you mean you don't know?
I don't know.
I'm not familiar with it either.
I don't know everything.
Well, you're the go-to guy on these

I, Tim, John, and Adam, we're proud to
present this donation to you both as a
token of our gratitude from Ocala, Florida.
Remember, our November to Remember Meetup should be
credited as a switcheroo to the future Sir
Grumpy Green Guy on behalf of the Florida
No Agenda producers.
So this donation will be Grumpy Green Guy?
Yep.
Sir Grumpy is ironically not grumpy at all.
He's like me.
He's an amazing husband and father, and we
love having him at the meetups.
We also like to wish him an early
happy birthday for December 14th.
He's on the list.

you, John and Adam, Adam and John, for
all that you do.
We can't wait to continue to help support
the show and have Florida be the state

out there.
That's a good idea.
Please play You're Gonna Need a Bitcoin in
honor of Sir Grumpy and Jobs Karma for

And thank you for producing episode 1715 of
No Agenda.
Our formula is this.
We go out.
We hit people in the mouth.
Hot pockets.
Shut up, Slade.
I would like to play a...
Actually, I got...
I have two series of clips of being
misled by the media.
Oh, no.
Say it ain't so.
Yeah.
Okay.
Let's start with this one.
This is from Katie Turr Reports.
Katie Turr Reports.
Oh, Katie Turr.
She's on MSNBC.
I feel bad for Katie Turr.
Her dad became a woman.
Had a rough childhood, Katie Turr.
Maybe if she put a little effort into
her job, that would help.
Yeah.
I want to play these two clips.
She's just discussing...
She's a Trump hater.
And she's got these people on.
She always has a bunch of panelists.
And so you got to play this.
Katie Turr on electoral win.
But I wanted to go to Cornell on
this because part of why Donald Trump and
his allies say that they're entitled to picks
like this is that he's got a mandate.
I mean, I had Byron Donald's on just
the other day saying Donald Trump can have
whoever he wants because the voters gave him
that power.
And then he told me that it was
the biggest electoral win since Ronald Reagan.
Does he have that mandate?
Was it the biggest electoral win since Ronald
Reagan?
Okay.
What does it take to look it up?
I guess they don't have any more producers
over at MSNBC.
They're starting the firing early.
It takes two seconds to look it up.
Was it the biggest electoral win?
And what we're talking about here are electoral
votes or the electoral college votes.
It's the biggest since Ronald Reagan.
I'll give you some examples here.
And this is according to archive.gov because
the number seems to change here and there.
But it's still pretty much this.
Trump got 312 to Harris's 226.
That's the most since Reagan.
All right.
In between, we had Biden who won the
last time with 306 to 232.
So Trump beat that.
And then before that, it was Trump had
304 to Clinton's 227.
So this is the biggest since Reagan, which
is way up there.
I think it was 500 or something.
Well, that was easy to look up.
It was very easy to look up.
And it's all over the place.
It's on the Wikipage has all of it.
Hold on.
Yes.
Katie Turr wants to know if you can
produce for her.
Yeah.
So Katie Turr can't look it up or
she can't have somebody look it up or
she thinks it's some sort of a mystery.
So she asked this Cornell guy who's the
MSNBC political analyst.
That's what he's a black guy with white
hair.
Oh, that's Cornell.
Yeah.
Isn't that Cornell West?
No, no.
Cornell West doesn't have white hair.
This is the guy who hates everybody.
This is the guy who hates everybody and
takes credit for Obama winning their presidency in
2008.
All right.
Groovy.
Yes.
So this guy's now he's also dubbed as
the MSNBC political analyst.
That's the title he had.
I'm going to write a column on this.
This is so egregious.
An oasis.
So an oasis, an oasis.
And so she asks him because she can't
look it up and she's not I guess
the producers can't tell her what the numbers
are, but she's actually baffled.
Now, I believe that she's insincere.
I don't believe that she doesn't know this
or she's so lazy she can't.
It just doesn't make any sense to me.
Oh, was it the biggest since Reagan?
So she throws it to this guy and
here's what we get.
Does he does he have that mandate?
Was it the biggest electoral win since Ronald
Reagan?
Oh, well, I know we're in a reality
where facts apparently don't matter, but no, it
wasn't even it wasn't even close.
In fact, you know, if you look at
the raw vote, he still he got if
you look at the raw vote from 2020,
he's still off of what Biden got by
a long ways in 2020.
Did he even understand?
I don't think he understood the question.
Electoral votes.
Yeah, electoral vote.
And he the guy jumps right to popular
vote and says, no, and this is a
warped reality, he says at the beginning of
his little spiel.
He says raw vote.
He also says the raw vote, which I
find entertaining.
Yeah, the raw vote.
So so we have what I consider an
egregious example of the disingenuous productions at MSNBC
and Katie Turr should be ashamed of herself.
This is a disgusting display of stupidity.
Or a disingenuous insincerity.
One of the two.
I'll take the options again.
You're going to have to make me repeat
it.
I like disgusting display of stupidity.
I'll take that for 500.
Okay, so me.
So now the other example of being misled,
this is not done as disingenuous.
This is just like misleading, at least to
me when I but they did clear it
up.
So so they have a big deal going
on in England.
They've got they've gotten King Richard's voice down
because they found a skeleton of King Richard,
the third.
You know, there's something going on.
This is that there's Netflix documentaries.
This is movie about the lady who tried
to find something.
What is up with King Richard?
Everything's about King Richard.
Why was he?
Why is he so he's he's trending?
I have no idea.
Not your man.
He is trending.
He's trending.
King Richard is trending.
But let's play this route.
This is King Richard.
And I wrote down shit report on NPR.
Yes, correct.
The team in the UK says it's approximated
King Richard, the third's voice with 90%
accuracy.
And here's Catherine Fink has more.
It all started 12 years ago when Richard,
the third skeleton was found underneath a parking
lot in England.
It turns out a person's skeleton can tell
us a lot about what they sounded like.
We can predict the likely pitch range of
a voice from a skeleton.
Vocal coach Yvonne Morley Chisholm assembled a team
of doctors, linguists, actors and forensic psychologists to
recreate Richard, the third's voice.
It's a tall order for someone who's been
dead for over five centuries.
But they found clues everywhere.
His upbringing, his spelling, even his scoliosis.
And now a digital avatar is on display
in England where you can hear the King
in his own words and his own voice
or something close to it.
How come some of your clips are off
balance?
I don't know.
Okay.
There was something amiss.
All right.
So this is bull crap.
Well, here's what, so I listened to this
but I didn't listen carefully enough.
The second two clips will explain it.
But it sounds to me as the way
they're presenting it.
They dug up this guy's body who was
buried under a parking lot for some unknown
reason.
King Richard, the third.
And they took a look at his skeleton
and look at his vocal cords and they
could make, and I was under the impression
that some AI came into play and it
reproduces voice perfectly.
And now it's an exhibit at the museum.
And they, of course, they don't give an
example but they do later in the report
in a secondary report that came later.
And so then I find out I've been
completely misled.
Okay, here we go.
It's part two.
Eventually, the signs pointed to a specific region,
Northern England.
They discovered Richard the third likely had a
medieval Yorkshire accent.
A dialect that set him apart from the
typical upper-class tones of his successors.
The modern Yorkshire, the sun is shining.
He would say, the sun is sheening.
So what do you do when you have
all of these clues about a dead King's
voice and you want people to hear it?
You put out a casting call.
For 10 years, I was looking for a
man with a face with the right proportions
to the reconstruction of King Richard's face.
And it's amazing.
We only found him this year.
That actor studied up.
He learned everything about Richard the third's personality
and life experiences and geared up for an
unusual kind of performance because the audience would
not see his face but Richard the third's.
The clarity and charity of the sun's light
is so great that when it is poured
on the other heavenly bodies, the sun sheens
with no less light and splendor.
That's a digital avatar of Richard the third
reciting a real address from his reign as
King.
It's currently on display at York Theatre Royal
in England and the team behind it believes
the voice is 90% accurate.
They got Frank Caliendo to come and do
an imitation of some guy's voice.
They don't know the guy could have been
a stutterer for all we know.
This is bull crap.
Yeah, I think you may be right.
I think there may be a just a
final, a final, a final, a final, a
final clip, final clip.
Yeah, it's a short, I guess.
Morley Chisholm says the public response has been
overwhelming.
I was amazed when I walked into the
lobby area, people were crying.
They were weeping and saying, this is so
moving.
She says it's also been an opportunity for
the public and for herself to learn about
the real Richard the third rather than the
one depicted in the Shakespearean play.
Our vocal communication, we can tell a bunch
of things about them.
And I think it's been incredibly important to
allow this to reconsider Richard's words in his
pronunciation, driven by his personality, how he chose
to communicate.
As for what's next, Morley Chisholm and the
rest of her team have gotten a lot
of requests for more voices.
People are keen for Robert the Bruce.
They're keen for Mary, Queen of Scots, for
the poet Eats, Johann Sebastian Bach.
For now, Richard the third will live on
in York, where you'll be able to hear
him through his own words as best as
we can recreate them today.
What a crock.
NPR, man, what are they doing?
I mean, that's if someone came to me
with a podcast proposal, I'd be like, no,
no, we do actually, I did find, we
do actually have some audio of what they
think King Richard sounded like.
I happen to have that here.
OK, you've got to hear this one.
Today's deep dive is dot unique.
Sorry, the guy should have started.
Would have been better.
Well, that was a deep dive.
That was very enlightening.
Thank you.
The conclusion NPR is full of crap.
OK, we need to just discuss briefly, because
there's some funny soundbites.
This international criminal court warrant, which is out
for both Bibi Netanyahu and for his war
guy, his war minister.
Buddy, can I ask you a question before
we begin this?
Because I don't have any clips on it,
but I want to ask you a quick
question.
What's the difference between the ICC and the
ICJ?
The ICJ is not affiliated with the ICC.
I believe the ICJ is connected to the
human rights organization court something.
I don't think it's part of the ICC.
I could be wrong.
I don't think it is either, but there's
two of them.
There's the ICC and they're going out and
arresting people.
And there's the ICJ, the International Court of
Justice.
I think it's also in the Hague, if
I'm not mistaken.
It is.
Yeah, they're both in the Hague.
Yeah, they're both there right next to each
other competing.
What is the point of having these two
organizations like that?
It's a job.
You must know you're from Holland.
It's a jobs program for judges.
It's complete nonsense.
The United States does not recognize it.
And the reason why it becomes very obvious
in these clips from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
The Jewish state is under siege and we
live in an upside down world.
This is Lindsey Graham, Lindy Hop, Lady G.
Where the prime minister of Israel and the
defense minister of Israel are being prosecuted by
a court in Belgium.
Oh, Lindsey.
Oh, so close, Lindsey.
How can this guy who's out there?
Who, by the way, would probably be subject
to a warrant from the ICC himself for
his work in Ukraine.
Eventually, how can he think that it's in
Belgium?
We just discussed it, Lindsey.
It's in the Hague, not in Belgium.
The prime minister of Israel and the defense
minister of Israel are being prosecuted by a
court in Belgium.
An all out rejection from Republican Senator Lindsey
Graham.
He denounced the arrest warrant issued earlier this
week for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his
former defense minister.
It also included a Hamas military leader.
Graham doubled down on his defense by calling
out Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for this comment
made soon after the ICC's announcement.
We stand up for international law and we
will abide by all the regulations and rulings
of the international courts.
President Joe Biden has called the warrant outrageous,
adding fuel to that.
Graham fired off this warning for Canada.
We should crush your economy because we're next.
You're going to have to pick the rogue
ICC versus America.
The U.S. is not a citizen.
Yes, yes, I can.
I just just as a just as a
point, ICC Belgium is the International Chamber of
Commerce.
He did a quick Wikipedia search like, oh,
OK, it's in Belgium.
What a tool.
What a tool.
Canada.
We should crush your economy because we're next.
You're going to have to pick the rogue
ICC versus America.
The U.S. is not a signatory of
the ICC, but a spokesperson for the international
body, Fadi al-Abdallah, is calling on the
124 countries that are, which include Canada, to
enforce the arrest warrant.
The ICC alleges that Israel committed war crimes
in Gaza by using starvation and systematic attacks
on civilians as part of its war against
Hamas.
The next steps after an arrest warrant is
issued is seeking the cooperation of the states.
Now, didn't the ICC also put out a
warrant for Bush and Cheney and others?
And I think they were talking about it,
but they never they never put the hammer
down on it.
I think it was just discussed.
And I think Kissinger, I guess they never
I think it was just discussed.
They were threatening.
They were shaking their fists, but they never
had the guts to do it.
Pussies.
Let me just see.
Let me see Cheney.
No, I don't have anything.
All right, here's the second clip.
Hungary's prime minister, Viktor Orban, is trying to
get in the way of that by being
the first country in the EU, all of
whom are members of the court to defy
the ICC's orders.
Orban is inviting Netanyahu to his country and
vowing to protect him.
He will be held into trap.
It's a trap.
Orban accused the ICC of interfering in an
ongoing political conflict for political aims.
This is wrong in itself, he said, adding
that it completely discredits international law.
Italy, Germany, France and Ireland are among the
European countries that have signaled it will abide
by the order.
The EU's top diplomat, Joseph Borrell, said member
nations don't have a choice.
The members, the states who signed their own
convention are obliged to implement the decision of
the court.
It's not optional.
The warrant puts the ICC in uncharted territory.
It's the first time the court has called
for the arrest of a sitting head of
government.
That's a major Western ally.
No, it is the first time.
Hey, it's not an option, people.
It is not an option.
I want to do a little bit of
COP29 as it winds up.
I see you have three clips as well,
so I will play two, you will play
three and I'll wrap it up.
And we'll be done with it because it's
because we got to be done with it.
This is another group of people who are
flipping out over Trump because they know he's
going to withdraw again, withdraw again from the
Paris accord and pull the plug.
And as we all know, he is a
staunch climate change denier.
In Azerbaijan, a chaotic and confusing COP29 has
come to a close.
The UN climate summit went way into overtime
and at one point appeared close to failure.
At the heart of the dispute is money.
Specifically, how much rich countries, including ours...
That's all the meeting was about.
Oh, it's only about money, yes.
And by the way, if they say development
bank, that means IMF World Bank, which is
our money.
...to developing countries to help them adapt to
climate change.
Susan, it was a real heated day of
negotiations, but a final deal has finally been
reached.
Can you tell us how it all went
down?
Indeed, it was an undeniable, chaotic and confusing
day.
It's now early hours of the morning, Baku
time.
But yes, the last draft was adopted by
thousands of delegates near Comatose, I might say,
in a huge meeting room.
That doesn't mean they're happy.
This was a compromise pushed through rather than
let these talks end in failure.
It does up the amount that developed countries
must direct to developing countries suffering the worst
effects of climate change.
It's now at at least $300 billion by
2035, but it is far less than many
of the developing countries advocated for.
What were some of the biggest sticking points
with that deal?
Money.
Well, the amount, as I've mentioned, what kind
of funding, grants or loans, public or private,
there will be disappointment.
The money is not more publicly funded.
Also, who pays in?
Rich developed countries are obligated, but many argued
China and other big emitting countries should also.
But in the U.N. framework, for example,
China is a developing country and its contributions
will remain voluntary.
So I don't have to participate now.
And I love what you're not going to
what you're not going to give it to
us.
You're going to only lend it to us.
Yeah, that's what we do with you.
And already, Susan, we are seeing some countries
like Cuba and India speaking out against this
final deal.
How far is this from what they were
asking?
Well, they wanted much more money over a
shorter period of time.
But I'm telling you, you can really hear
the resentment and opposition on the floor of
the plenary, as it's called.
You can hear the resentment from podcasters, lady.
Nigeria called it an insult.
India called it a mirage and said they
do not accept this accord.
The spirit of these talks, I might add,
is damaged as well.
The president pushed through this proposal too late,
too little, just to close the climate conference
with something even though it's seen as flawed.
And Canada also said on the plenary floor
that it's extremely disappointed in the accord overall
and wanted some stronger text.
The secretary general of the United Nations put
out a statement today saying the commitment must
become cash and ensure that this money does
get quickly to the developing countries.
You know, just hours ago, it did seem
like this conference would fall apart.
But there is an agreement.
It will and can be built on.
Although I think COP29, many would agree, hosted
by Azerbaijan, has been a difficult, fractious set
of climate talks.
And this may threaten the solidarity of the
whole UN process, how this transpired here.
And perhaps we'll see widen a gap between
rich and poor countries.
So Trump doesn't even have to do anything.
It's going to fall apart by itself.
And I mean, because you have, I mean,
I had more clips, but you have you
have three.
So I want to have you play those.
I have a lot of the delegates from
all these countries going, this is not fair.
They made us sit here for hours.
We're tired.
We're wiped out.
You know, they ground these people.
They're in Baku.
The babies had to sit down and listen
to a bunch of speakers.
The Baku is like Casablanca, man.
It's beautiful.
It's a oil heaven.
It's hookers and blow everywhere.
That's why they were strung out.
All right, your clips, if you think they're
still useful.
Yeah, I think they're OK.
This is basically the same thing.
I mean, this is done from this NPR,
COP29 BS.
The world has reached a new agreement on
how to help pay for the impacts of
climate change.
Annual negotiations just wrapped up in Azerbaijan, and
they went well into overtime with some countries
walking out in protest.
Joining me now with more on what they
decided is Lauren Sommer from NPR's Climate Desk.
Hey there.
Hi, Scott.
So two weeks of negotiations.
What have been the big sticking point?
So this summit, it's been all about the
money.
The debate has been over the dollar amount
that richer countries will send to developing countries
that have contributed the least to climate change.
God bless President Trump, man.
Stop these people from stealing from us for
nonsense.
They're not going to do anything for climate
change.
It's all going to these delegates.
No, this is a money laundering racket.
Yes.
And that's where things like reducing their carbon
emissions.
Money laundering, right.
This is to get, hold on, 300 billion
dollars.
You put it in the system.
Who knows where it goes?
Is that you can't do money laundering.
It's going to research.
A lot of it just goes into a
bunch of people's pockets.
It doesn't accomplish anything.
And it's 300 billion dollars.
It's an entire net worth of Elon Musk
goes into the pockets of a bunch of
criminals.
Yes, yes.
Least to climate change.
And that's where things like reducing their carbon
emissions through renewable energy projects or preparing for
the impacts of climate related disasters like more
intense storms.
This is known as climate finance and developing
countries are pushing for a lot more than
richer.
We need to push for some more podcast
finance.
That's what I'm for.
This climate finance is not doing it for
me.
And by the way, lady, at NPR, it's
finance.
And developing countries are pushing for a lot
more than richer countries were willing to deliver.
What was the main argument they were making
as they tried to get that point home?
Yeah.
So lower income countries are seeing some of
the worst impacts from climate change, you know,
flooding and hurricanes and droughts that are getting
worse.
They've done little to cause that because their
carbon emissions are low.
It's really the wealthier countries that are responsible
for most of the emissions.
So developing countries say they're owed for all
those damages.
Here's how Sierra Leone's climate minister, Jiwo Abdullahi,
described it at the talks.
These numbers are not just abstract.
They affect our people on a daily basis.
OK.
Yeah, they they're affecting everybody.
Oh, my God.
What are we going to do?
These these small countries are which are run
by tyrants, usually are just trying to get
some free money for their pockets.
This is this is so obvious to me.
Initially, you know, it was to drive the
new economy and people were there, you know,
to get some some dough for, you know,
windmills and solar farms and all that stuff.
And they've even given up.
This is I saw the but it's research
and development is still the top.
More studies to prove this thing.
Yeah.
Clip two.
The floods, the droughts affect the lives of
our people due to climate change.
The droughts affect the lives of our people.
Our people are paying for this climate crisis
already with their lives and their livelihoods.
Blood.
Abdullahi was actually one of the ministers who
walked out on negotiations for a bit today,
along with other African countries and small island
states, because it was over the dollar amount
the richer countries were offering.
OK, so what was the final agreement that
was just agreed to?
Yeah, so the agreement is for developed countries
like the US and the European Union to
hit 300 billion dollars per year in climate
finance by 2035.
And then there's a larger goal to ramp
that up to one point three trillion dollars
per year.
The US wanted to see countries like China
be official contributors to that as well.
But China wanted to keep its contributions voluntary.
And that 300 billion is lower than many
developing countries wanted to see.
OK, but you're talking about the US there,
and that's, of course, the Biden administration.
President-elect Trump takes office in January.
So given that, what are the chances the
US follows through on that pledge for climate
funding?
Yeah, it's a really big question.
It's unclear because if you remember, when Trump
was president, he pulled the US out of
the major climate agreement.
That's the Paris agreement.
He has not wanted the US to be
part of this in the past.
This year, the Biden administration says it supplied
11 billion dollars.
But, you know, even if Trump undoes the
US commitment, some funding could continue, like from
the World Bank, which the US contributes to.
The US election happened right before these talks
began.
I'm curious, how much did that cast a
shadow over negotiations, especially given that the world
is already behind on climate change?
Yeah, I think there's no doubt it had
a major impact.
You know, at the talks, the Biden administration
was trying to make clear that the shift
to renewable energy in the US is already
underway and it's going to keep going.
You know, we the current Devora Consulting Group
needs to help these people, particularly NPR, or
someone needs to do something.
They need a new angle.
You know, just this, oh, extreme weather events.
Nobody cares.
Nobody cares.
And it's just, oh, another flood.
They've overdone it.
They've overshot the mark.
They need something else to get people motivated
to spend this money.
I just don't understand why they, I mean,
they're just, they're just verbal diarrhea.
The same thing over and over again.
Ad nauseum.
What's making it worse is these lesser developed
countries, third world, are demanding free money.
Yeah, those.
And they're doing it in a very obnoxious
way.
Well, it's because there was a lot of
promises.
You see, everyone got promised, like, hey, man,
let me build my mansion over here.
You know, to escape and we'll take care.
We'll make you whole.
That's COP 29.
Don't worry.
I can just see it.
I can just see it.
You're right.
This is so corrupt.
Who's paying?
Who's paying for these cops?
This is no small conference.
No, it costs money to overhead.
The conference itself has got to be millions.
All right.
Last clip.
Thank Lord.
Here's what U.S. climate envoy John Podesta
said to other countries.
Here's your money laundering guy.
This is not the end of our fight
for a cleaner, safer planet.
Facts are still facts.
Science is still science.
The fight is bigger than one election, one
political cycle in one country.
The U.S. has been cutting its carbon
emissions, in part because of the Biden administration's
flagship climate law.
That's the Inflation Reduction Act.
And, you know, there are parts that are
popular, right?
Consumer tax credits for electric cars and heat
pumps.
Many of the clean energy manufacturing projects, you
know, big, big plants have gone into Republican
districts.
So there is a chance that some of
these policies will survive the new administration.
But, you know, the big question is still
to come, right?
Countries need to cut their emissions.
We're behind on doing that, right?
The Earth is going to warm up more
than the goal for the Paris Agreement.
All countries are supposed to announce new pledges
to cut their emissions by February.
And that's to keep the planet from that
even worse impact level of climate change.
The Biden administration says it still plans to
release its new pledge, even as it's heading
out the door.
And that's going to be a huge focus
of climate negotiations next year, which is really
cutting emissions.
Cutting emissions.
You know, here's another problem with this whole
gambit.
I don't understand why they don't figure this
out.
Nobody sees the benefit.
You know, it's like, you know, the Tesla
for a while is like I get a
kind of a cool car.
Now everyone sees, well, there's no resale value.
You know, I got to put a generator
in the trunk to charge it if I
run out.
You know, I'm going to have a jerry
can of gas.
I'm instead of a nice HVAC system, I
got a heat pump, you know.
Which doesn't work in really cold weather.
No, my toilet doesn't flush well.
My shower is limited.
You know, it's it's not improving our life.
And what you've been hearing this since the
70s, that we're all going to die.
The 60s.
We're all going to die.
It's you got to deliver.
You got to deliver on something.
Either you make like really something happen, which
is it's just not.
I don't know.
They got to.
It's just it's a grift.
It is a grift.
And it's so obvious and everybody sees it.
And we're sick of it.
Not everybody sees it.
Most people don't see it.
True.
People who see it don't care.
Even the greenies, they don't really care.
Now, what I did is I went to
the IMF to see what they really had
to say, because the IMF, these these are
the these are the real bad guys.
These are the guys who get the loan.
You know, it's not a grant.
No, we're going to lend you the money.
There's $300 billion a year.
And then we got you by the nuts.
And then we can you will do whatever
we tell you to do.
This is what happened to Greece, just to
pull it into Western perspective.
This has been going on throughout the undeveloped
world for ages.
So they and I don't know, but these
people, they just get money from all these
countries and they go, oh, make some charts
and it's really important.
And, you know, so these are the money
people.
And so they're out there trying to get
the money.
They have this new young guy.
He looks like a Gen Z or might
be a might be a very young millennial,
but probably Gen Z.
And he they released a video about this.
And surprise, surprise.
Not only do we have a model for
climate change, but they have a model for
the money.
Well, there are many ways to allocate emissions
cuts across countries.
But here we provide an illustration.
This uses a model that we built with
the World Bank called the Climate Policy Assessment
Tool.
And it's based on a methodology that we
developed here at the IMF.
In our illustrative approach, all countries reduce emissions
in proportion to their income.
Most countries would need to raise their 2030
emissions targets, but developed countries would continue to
cut emissions faster than developing countries.
So where are we currently?
Well, in this analysis, we find very few
major economies of 2030 targets that are aligned
with two degrees.
And currently no major economy is aligned with
1.5. That said, high income countries have
collectively become much more ambitious since 2015, while
upper middle income countries as a whole are
further behind.
We think countries could consider forming climate clubs
to complement the Paris Agreement.
Climate clubs, John.
Climate clubs.
Oh, this is interesting.
Smaller groups of major emitting countries could agree
to cut emissions through specific policies like minimum
carbon prices or what we call an international
carbon price floor.
On climate finance, developed countries are currently mobilizing
about $100 billion per year to developing countries
and will soon set a new target for
2025 and beyond.
We think this new target should be based
on the needs of developing countries and in
the collaborative spirit of the Paris Agreement could
be framed as a joint target between developed
and developing countries.
You know, kid, I should push you over
my knee and spank you.
So in this second short clip, he explains
what is really needed to reduce carbon because
we're out of control.
It's not working.
It's not slowing down.
We're never going to get to the magic
number of 1.5 degrees Celsius.
We really we've got to tighten.
We've got to tighten it up.
We've got to we've got to really do
things to people because when you hear the
comparison he makes, which is a little dubious
and frightening to a degree.
To get to the 7% reduction in
carbon pollution, emissions, whatever, you'll think we're never
going to do this unless you go really.
Authoritarian on us.
So how are we doing?
By the way, shoot the production manager.
How are we doing?
Cue piano.
So how are we doing?
Well, unfortunately, we are not going nearly fast
enough.
Since 2020, emissions have continued to rise.
So now to limit global warming to 1
.5 degrees, we need to cut emissions by
50% below 2019 levels in the next
five years.
But globally, current country targets would only achieve
about a 12% cut in emissions.
So this means we need to go four
times faster in the remainder of this decade.
We find that if 2030 targets remain as
they are, then the world would face a
damaging emissions cliff edge.
This would require drastic cuts in emissions equivalent
to about 7% each and every year
out to 2040.
Now, to put that into perspective, the unprecedented
coronavirus pandemic lockdowns cut global carbon emissions by
just 6% in 2020.
Maintaining an even higher rate of emissions cutting
year after year could be politically, economically, and
technically infeasible.
So knowing these people are insane, he's saying
we need to cut by 7% a
year.
To put that into perspective, the unprecedented COVID
lockdowns only resulted in 6% reduction.
I mean, is a logical conclusion that they're
thinking about climate lockdowns?
Well, you've been saying that for a while.
That's the conclusion I have to draw from
this.
Yeah, well, they're not going to get away
with it.
No, they're not.
I have a tech update which regards Google.
Well, you probably know the browser because even
if you're one of those people that doesn't
switch from the default browser when you get
a new computer, you would have heard of
it.
Three and a half billion people around the
world use it.
That's more than two thirds of internet users.
Now, this actually gloms on to our previous
conversation about the search function, them having search.
But this guy puts some truth into this
report, which I thought was worth discussing for
a second.
You don't use Chrome or Safari.
You probably use a browser built on Chromium.
That's an open source code base based on
Chrome, which Google releases to the public.
Even Edge, the third most popular browser made
by Microsoft, is a Chromium browser.
The DOJ has asked the federal judge Amit
Mehta to order Google to sell Chrome, which
is a crucial pillar of its business, even
though it's free of charge.
Why?
Because it's how billions of people make their
way onto Google search.
Yes, the real monopoly the US justice system
has ruled lies in Google's 90% market
domination of online search.
And search means data, which means money.
So if you type into Chrome's search bar
to search for something, Google collects all sorts
of data on you and uses this to
sell advertising.
In fact, the only place this is a
little bit different is here in the EU,
where since an antitrust ruling six years ago,
Chrome has offered a choice of search engines
when you install it.
This has supposedly been refined since the Digital
Markets Act came into effect a couple of
years ago.
But let's be frank, it's not made a
jot of difference to Google's dominance of search.
Its market share has actually increased over the
last few years.
It turns out it's not that easy to
convince people to use another search engine when
the phrase Google it has become a verb.
You know, I think that Chrome and of
course, the Edge browser is built on Chrome.
I think these are just spy devices.
It goes beyond search.
It goes...
Yeah, we have a, one of our producers
sent us a note pretty much, and he's
kind of a spooky producer.
And he sent us a note saying the
whole thing's about spying.
Yeah, it is.
It's just spying.
You know, the Google is also, it's Chrome
OS, of course, would also be a problem,
which they've rolled out all over the schools
and everything to spy on your kids.
Yeah.
And they want to put Chrome OS in
the Android, which would be very interesting if
they have to separate from Chrome.
And then what does that mean?
Does someone else then run Chrome?
Some other...
CIA.
All right.
I want to wrap it up today with
a little bit of health news.
Make America healthy again.
RFKJ, he's going to do it if we
can protect him all the way through the
process.
If he can get in there.
Now we're starting to hear negative concepts that
they're, well, you know, of course, that's part
of the TDS.
Yes.
New TDS.
Yeah, of course.
Here is CNN discrediting him.
Fruit loops.
The Wall Street Journal reporting that the company
that makes the colorful cereal has, quote, been
under fire for months over its use of
artificial food dyes.
Now one of the company's highest profile critics,
Robert F.
Kennedy Jr., has been tapped to become the
country's top health official and has vowed to
target artificial dyes in cereal that he says
contribute to widespread health problems, particularly in children.
Kennedy calling out the manufacturer earlier this month.
Their entire departments, like the nutrition departments at
FDA, that are, that have to go, that
are not doing their job.
They're not protecting our kids.
Why do we have fruit loops in this
country that have 18 or 19 ingredients?
And you go to Canada and it's got
two or three.
All right, our panel is back.
Anyone a Fruit Loops fan?
Did you grow up on Fruit Loops?
Of course.
Yeah.
Kellogg's cereal.
Of course, big advertiser, Kellogg's cereal.
I'm not going to discredit them.
Sugar Smacks.
I mean, look, Kennedy's not wrong about this.
This journal story, I don't know if we
have it produced.
But like when you look at the difference
between American Fruit Loops and, right there, right
here, the Blue Bowl, and then the Canadian
ones are right here.
I mean, like it's obvious, right, that we
put a lot more, I mean, RKJr probably
calls it crap in the cereal.
What is it?
A lot more, a lot more.
Don't say chemicals.
The company says, well, no, that's not the
case.
But I mean, Dana, like maybe there's a
point?
I don't know that we've ever had a
nominee for a chemist.
It's it's this polarizing and not in a
hot way, right?
I mean, like either Robert Kennedy is a
Fruit Loop or he's going to fix Fruit
Loops.
Oh, yeah, of course it is.
Thank you for pointing that out.
Professional.
Is Marty moonlighting again?
Marty would come up with that guy for
sure.
But the big pharma is very concerned about
RFKJ and he's all right.
I mean, and this is a trend.
This is another thing that Gen Z is
the Gen Z.
I know so many people who have not
had their children vaccinated at all.
From birth, because, you know, within three hours,
they want to give your child a hepatitis
B vaccine.
Yeah.
Why?
They're going to have sex, which is a
sexually transmitted disease.
I thought when that just an anecdote.
So when I first when hepatitis B, this
is years ago, this is 30 years ago
when the hepatitis B vaccine first came out,
I had this doctor, kind of an anti
-vaxxer.
He's the one who got me on vitamin
D instead of getting me off of the
off of flu shots.
And so I said, should I get a
hepatitis B vaccine?
I just said this because it just came
out.
They were promoting it.
He says, why are you going to work
with blood?
And you went, what?
And then it was that was obviously it
was like as far as he was concerned,
there is no reason in the world that
any normal person should ever get a hepatitis
B vaccine.
So I think this is also a carefully
orchestrated piece on CBS.
Dr. John LaPook is here.
LaPook.
And instead of saying people don't want vaccines,
like I don't want my kid to have
vaccines.
I know which ones they have questions.
They want honest answers.
They bring in the hesitancy.
Vaccine hesitancy.
And I think they even have a mother
who says, well, I'm vaccine hesitant.
Bull crap.
You're a shill.
Nobody says that.
Of course not.
Nobody says it.
Robert Kennedy Jr. has been an outspoken critic
of vaccines, despite overwhelming evidence that vaccines are
safe and effective at preventing disease.
Now, if confirmed as Secretary of Health and
Human Services, public health experts say Kennedy could
influence vaccine policy.
We get more now from CBS's chief medical
correspondent, Dr. John LaPook.
Lauren Maresca says she's had concerns over vaccinating
her children.
Anything I give my child, I always question.
I get a little anxious.
When 11-year-old Gio was an infant,
he got his childhood vaccines right on schedule.
Always had a reaction.
Every single time, hives, rash.
I started to get hesitancy in saying, all
right, can we space this?
I started to get hesitancy, John.
Is that- I started to get hesitancy.
This is scripted.
Every single time, hives, rash.
I started to get hesitancy in saying, all
right, can we space these out?
And the doctor kind of made me feel
you're being dramatic, but okay.
After scouring the internet for information, the New
York mom hit pause on additional shots for
Gio and three-year-old Julena.
Then the family's pediatrician issued an ultimatum.
You have to take all the vaccines or
you're out of the practice.
Yeah, here we go, baby.
Before you continue with this clip, it turns
out, and there's a lot of discussion on
this, maybe you're going into it, that these
pediatricians are vaccine factories.
That's all they do.
They get bonuses for having everyone vaccinated.
Careful, careful.
Don't say it that way because you'll get
a million.
No, I'll get a million emails.
They don't get bonuses, but it is up
to 40% of their income.
It's just the business.
It's not like they get extra for pushing
extra.
Their whole business model is built on it.
I don't think they get extra.
In fact, I'm quite sure they don't get
extra.
Okay, I'm putting it incorrectly.
Okay.
Yeah, the whole thing's a scam.
It's just from the get-go.
It's a scam, yes.
It's a grift.
It's a grift.
Here we go.
Part two.
Public health officials stress vaccines are safe and
effective and the benefits far outweigh the risks.
But a recent survey found at least 12
% of children have a vaccine-hesitant parent.
I think it's important to kind of understand
the thought process of why a patient is
refusing a vaccination.
New York City pediatrician, Dr. Ayala Wegman says,
in recent years, she's been navigating increased vaccine
skepticism.
You hear some parents say, why do we
have to have so many vaccines so soon?
The reason why we present infants with immunizations
early on in their life is because their
immune system is really susceptible to not only
viral but bacterial infections.
45 states permit non-medical exemptions and kindergarten
vaccination rates have fallen to 93%, below the
95% target for herd immunity.
That increases risk for the vulnerable, like those
who are immunocompromised or too young to be
vaccinated.
Now, this is very interesting because I got
a lot of people emailing me, as usual,
saying, you don't understand how vaccines work.
And one of the most prevalent arguments is,
vaccines activate your immune system so that you
then become, you know, immune, but the virus,
even if you're vaccinated, the virus enters your
system.
And so if you're a child and around
an unvaccinated child, you get a full load
and then you can actually still get sick
because the vaccine is so safe and effective.
I mean, people try to explain this to
me and I'm like, no, the whole point
is your immune system is immune.
You're immune from it.
You are sterilized.
You have an immune system Yes.
Thank you.
Which you should not be tinkering with when
you're three hours old.
I'm not a doctor, but I'm not stupid.
Does everybody understand that when they are quote
unquote rolling the dice for their own child,
they're actually rolling the dice for other children
around them who are not immunized?
Most people, when they come to the office,
they're really concerned, most importantly, about their precious
little one.
And so it becomes really important for us
as doctors to communicate the safety and the
efficacy of these vaccines.
Gio was begging me he wants to go
to school.
He doesn't want to be kicked out.
Faced with school vaccine mandates, the Marescas reluctantly
vaccinated their son.
Stop again.
Stop, stop.
What kid ever did said that in their
lives, especially in the younger age?
The kid who is scripted.
I don't I want to go to school.
No kids ever said what nobody ever said
ever.
Well, this is the message.
The message is don't get your kids not
vaccinated.
You're getting kicked out of school.
That's the message here from from Dr. John,
which contradicts what the Department of Education wants,
because they get paid so much from the
government to have kids in school.
So there's there's mixed messaging going on here.
They don't know what to do.
Gio was begging me.
He wants to go to school.
He doesn't want to be kicked out.
Faced with school vaccine mandates, the Marescas reluctantly
vaccinated their son, but are still looking for
empathy.
Don't be dismissive with us.
Don't patronize us.
Don't make us feel stupid.
It's critical that you are honest with them,
that you frame the discussion with facts and
a willingness to listen.
Yeah, so we're going to give you facts
and you need a willingness to listen.
I have two more short clips.
But first, a quick note from one of
our producers who heard this conversation on the
last episode where I said the doctor, he
predicts that there will be there could be
pediatricians who might actually kill themselves once they
find out how much harm they've done to
children with this 76 vaccine schedule.
And she says, Andrea Dickert, as a certified
neonatal intensive care, NICU registered nurse who administered
many vaccines in my eight years of working
at level four.
That's the highest level of care at a
NICU.
I can attest that I too felt so
much shame and regret at the possibility that
I may have caused more harm than good
to so many of my patients, especially when
I witnessed adverse reactions firsthand and some of
them on preemie babies that we administered them
to.
So prematurely born babies.
Another side note, many of the vaccines that
are given to preemies are administered against manufacturing
guidelines, as many of them do not meet
the weight requirements for the dosage.
But instead of offing myself, as your ER
doctor friend stated, I decided to push back
and do something about it.
So I started a podcast with the goal
of empowering.
That'll do it.
With the goal of empowering parents to make
decisions for themselves and their children by using
knowledge, insight and intuition, not fear or social
pressure.
So if any of the NOAA gender producers
wants to hear the founder explain for herself
what she has discovered, or if anyone wants
to gain some more insight, people always ask
me this about what true informed consent is.
They can listen to the the podcast, the
Fearless Motherhood podcast.
Fearless Motherhood?
Yes, the Fearless Motherhood podcast.
So I wanted to plug that.
OK, that sounds like a winner.
Yeah, that's go podcasting.
Finally, then, and I don't understand why if
Gorka, if Gorka is considered to be an
advisor, how come former CDC director Redfield is
not an advisor?
This is the guy who came out right
away and said, no, no, no, no.
This is the bearded guy.
Yeah, yeah.
He's great.
Yeah, so here he is.
Do you think we should be worried at
all?
Like if he gets confirmed, that he could
sort of start a real no vaccine culture
and put that into public policy?
Talking about RFKJ.
No, Brian, I don't think that.
I mean, I'm probably one of the biggest
advocates for vaccine.
You mentioned that I when I was CDC
director, I would say that I think vaccines
are the greatest gift for science to modern
medicine.
And I still believe that Kennedy's not anti
-vaccine.
What Kennedy is about is transparency about vaccines,
honest discussion about vaccines, asking for the data
to show that these vaccines are safe and
they're efficacious.
And the mere question of asking, what's the
data for safety?
Many of his detractors say, OK, well, you're
anti-vax.
No, just show me the safety data.
Show me the efficacy data.
I have high confidence that Kennedy is going
to be a strong supporter of transparency on
vaccines.
And where the vaccine data shows that they're
efficacious and a benefit to the American public,
he will promote them.
And then the real issue, which he says
here.
I think, Brian, we need transformational change.
Right now, we've created over the last 20,
30 years, we've developed a disease system.
We need to make a health system.
And when Kennedy says he wants to help
make America healthy again, when I was CDC
director, one of the challenges was we lost
about 1.2 million people died of COVID.
Other countries like Taiwan lost less than 10
,000 people.
Why did we lose so many people?
We lost so many people because we're a
sick nation.
And Kennedy is really committed to making us
healthy again.
And I do agree with you.
We should all get behind him.
Making a healthy America is not a partisan
issue.
We ought to get behind him and make
us healthy again.
The problem is it's a money issue.
It's an advertising issue.
It's a grift issue.
That's the problem.
Yeah, that's the problem.
And it has a lot to do with
the fact that prescription drugs are advertised on
television and they can and they dominate the
the money flow.
And so they the TV stations and whatever
and a lot of magazines, in fact, do
what they're told.
I keep getting a lot of the problem
with the corruption of advertising.
That's why we don't take advertising in this
show.
Just say I'm stepping on it every time
now.
Just say that's why we don't take advertising
on this show.
I'll fix it in post.
No one will know.
That's why we don't take advertising on this
show.
I'm going to show my support by donating
to No Agenda.
Imagine all the people who would do that.
Oh, yeah, that'd be fab.
That's right.
We don't take advertising on this show.
We just do a service.
We deliver a service.
We perform a service for you, No Agenda
Nation.
We keep your amygdala in check.

He's saying you didn't invent the value for
value model.

Hi, John and Adam.
You said you break for night, so I
hope you read this on the show.
Of course.
I don't know what else to try at
this point.
I got hit by a huge layoff earlier
this year, and even with a Linda Lupatkin
resume and getting my CISSP this year after
only two weeks study, I haven't gotten a
single offer and can barely get interviews.
I've been actively on the job searching over
eight months, and my wife's car got totaled
last week on top of her job not
paying enough to cover normal expenses.
Oh, it sucks.
This is a plea for help, he says.
I can't relocate because of my wife's job,
so I either need a software engineering position
in San Diego or something fully remote.
I don't need jingles or karma.
I need referrals or to talk to hiring
managers for any fellow producers who might be
able to help.
My CV is here.
MattTheTall.site slash CV.
Matt, double T, TheTall.site slash CV.
Help a brother out, everybody.
I'm going to give him a job.

Why we do it?
I don't know.
It's fun.

It's another competition that John and I can
have amongst each other.
And here's my first one.
It's too long, but here it is anyway.

Okay.
Nope.
Uh, second one.
This is fun.
Or, or.
I see a douchebag.
No, that, that, I think that, that has,

I like the middle one.
Yeah, you would.
It was K part.
Here we go with my, I only have
one.
It's just one.
I grabbed this.
Oh, oh, compared to this was fun.
I would even do it.
I would even do a double up.
Oh, this was fun.
How about that?
Oh, that's nice.
I think we'll do that.
All right, everybody.
Let's take it away for John's tip of
the day.
I got a culinary tip, which I've been
sitting on for a while and boy, that
hurts.
And this is a product that is used
in Southeast Asian cooking.
And I've gotten to a discussion with JC
about it.
He claims that this is originally a condiment
or flavoring ingredient that came from the Romans
and then got to somehow got to China,
where then it was changed over time to
the Southeast Asia, where they make it all
over the place.
It's called, and it's got a, I don't
think the name's appropriate, but it's called fish
sauce, fish sauce.
All right.
Now you can find it, you can get
it on Amazon.
There's a bunch of brands.
There's in fact, there's more brands than you
can imagine.
I would recommend people start with Red Boat,
which was a fairly new fish sauce maker,
but he does it the right way.
It's fish sauce is made from black anchovies
that have been fermented in salt for one
year in a barrel.
Wow.
And as with French cooking, sometimes you use
anchovies like they're used in Caesar salads and
you're taking, they're always salt and you scrape
it off and you mix it into different
sauces.
This accomplishes the same thing.
A couple of things you should know.
One, it doesn't taste like fish.
Good to know.
And I would recommend getting Red Boat, which
is done by, which is a new company,
fairly new company developed by an Apple engineer
who is Vietnamese.
He couldn't find good fish sauce because what
the Asians do and what smart European cooks
do is you use it as a salt
substitute in spaghetti sauces and soups and stews.
You just, that was going to be my
question is what do you use it on?
So as a salt substitute in spaghettis and
soups.
Yeah.
It adds umami that you wouldn't get from
salt.
Like a lot of it.
It's an umami ingredient where you do, which
is the, you know, the latest buzzword into
cooking circles is umami, which is mouthfeel.
And it adds umami and a lot of
salt.
What you do is when you buy it,
you get your bottle of Red Boat, which
is a starter.
There's all kinds of companies that make this,
but this is the one that's extremely popular
in this country because of the Apple connection.
The guy knows how to market to Americans.
You take a drop or two of it
and put in a spoon and taste it.
You'll see what I'm talking about.
It's electrically salty and delicious, but it doesn't
taste like fish.
It's just some sort of it.
Sorry that they call it fish sauce, but
that's basically it's fermented anchovy juice.
It's bad marketing.
Fish sauce.
Well, it's just what it's called.
So you put a couple of shakes in
your spaghetti sauce as a secret ingredient.
It'll knock the thing up two notches in
terms of deliciousness.
Exit strategy.
Do you think you could make this fish
sauce?
Do you think you have the chops to
make it?
I could make it, but I wouldn't do
it cost effectively like they can in Cambodia,
for example.
But wait, but wait.
That has nothing to do with it.
You just need the right branding.
For instance, I can see a two for
one.
John C.
Dvorak's seasoning of reveal.
And as a bonus, you get umami magic.
Now, that's a name for a fish sauce.
Umami magic.
That's a good name.
Um, okay, well, then the way it should
be done as a think ahead of the
game.
Private label some stuff out of Vietnam, just
get some crap and put umami magic.
No, it's not crap.
But I'm telling you this stuff.
If people start using this in their everyday
cooking, can we?
Now that I will say this, this is
this is an exit.
Umami magic is a winner.
Okay, and I wrote it down.
Yeah, good.
So there's an area called Phu Quoc that
is outside of the bottom of Vietnam, where
she's got the best waters for these black
anchovies.
And so you look for that name, you're
going to get some good quality stuff.
But I should mention this.
That's why the red boats kind of interesting.
This is a small bottle.
I had bought a bottle of fish sauce
from one another brand.
In a 750 or a liter.
I've had it for five years.
You can't use enough of it.
I mean, it's just like a couple of
shakes and you're done.
And then you're done for the whatever next
time you make spaghetti sauce or whatever sauce
that lasts forever.
Kids will love it.
They will love it on their spaghetti.
Everybody wants the small bag.
You put it in the sauce.
Now, I suppose you could put it directly
on the Spaghetti O's if you want salty
Spaghetti O's.
I'm trying to get a fish sauce Vietnamese.
The other Southeast Asian countries make it, too.
And I would start with the red boat
and then try other ones after that.
Start with red boat and then move your
way up to John C.
Dvorak's small batch Umami magic.
There it is.
Tip of the day dot net.
We'll be bringing that to market right after
the microphone company kicks off.

Deeply worrying statement from Vladimir Putin.
He's putting his strategic defense forces on a
state of heightened readiness.
It certainly sounds like nuclear saber rattling.
Putin is ordering the country's deterrence forces, which
does include nuclear weapons, to be on high
alert.
It is nuclear saber rattling.
Nuclear saber rattling.
Putin is crazy enough to try a tactical
move.
Vladimir Putin is known for having a very
heavy heat, increasing the nuclear deterrence readiness level.
Russia sets off a small, low yield nuclear
weapon just to shock everybody.
Our nuclear coercion, this nuclear signaling is a
critical component of it.
He's threatening to potentially lean into nuclear by
saying he's raising his threat level.
A bit of a saber rattle here is
ordered his Russian nuclear deterrence forces on alert.
It is nuclear saber rattling.
Nuclear saber rattling.
I just want to comment on the nuclear
stuff.
Matt Gaetz has long denied all allegations, calling
the claims, quote, invented and saying in a
statement to ABC News that this false smear
following a three-year criminal investigation should be
viewed with great skepticism.
The DOJ investigation was closed with no charges
being brought.
This is the way the game is played.
As a career prosecutor and former attorney general
of Florida, I fought corruption.
And I know what it looks like, whether
it's done by people wearing pen-striped suits
or orange jumpsuits.
So there it is in my nutshell.
This is a bunch of bullcrap.
A warning.
This piece includes the sound of gunfire.
Yeah, what you want to do?
What you want to do?
If you don't quit, yeah, if you don't
stop, yeah, I'm letting my gas pump.
Yeah, if you don't stop.
Trying to keep calm, trying to keep people
from panicking in what is.
And there we go.
Just heard the first siren has just gone
off.
And I've been told by city officials that
that indicates that this is a city under
attack.
And again, this is the first time we
have heard sirens in the capital.
What you want to do?
What you want to do?
Because you've been hearing explosions now for a
couple of hours.
And we're asking about these sirens.
You said they've been tested.
Let's just listen.
The sirens are now underway.
We had been wondering why we hadn't heard
sirens.
We all heard the explosions.
We were wondering where the sirens were.
I've been told by city officials that they
had tested this system earlier in the week.
They said it was working and now hours
into this attack, we are now hearing the
siren system alerting people that this attack is
underway.
It is a remarkable development.
You're going to stay with us.
I'm healed.
