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.
